242 Hongmen Inn, Assassin Meeting!
Hongmen Inn.
In the early morning, a carriage that came from afar stopped outside the gate of Hongmen Inn.
An old man in white clothes, a middle-aged and young bearded scholar, and a middle-aged swordsman who was silent and murderous in his heart, got off the carriage.
Although there are few people coming from Huainan Country, they are extremely capable.
A prime minister who is in charge of the overall situation lacks power.
Wu Liang, a top strategist who takes insidious moves, has many strategies and specializes in making desperate plans.
There is another one who is the famous assassin master Lei Ben. Once he makes a move, he will never fail.
"Sir, this is the most famous Hongmen Inn in Jinling City!
This is the most luxurious and high-end inn in Jinling City. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the conditions are the best. It is hidden in the downtown area, and this is the best place to hide in our trip.
Our trip is a heavy task, so we still need to have a good rest."
The Qingzhu Confucian scholar shook his fan, looked at the luxurious inn, and said with a smile.
"Well, Hongmen Inn, this is a good sign! This is the famous inn that Taizu set up a Hongmen Banquet and assassinated Pei Gong.
What a good omen! When I enter Jinling City this time, I will definitely succeed. Let's stay here."
The old man in white entered the inn and frowned when he saw the noise in the inn.
The large number of people is not conducive to discussing assassination operations in the inn.
He threw down a ingot of gold and said to the shopkeeper indifferently: "Shopkeeper, I have booked it in the inn. I will invite some merchants in the next three or five days to clear the idle people!"
Manager Xiang Da looked up at Jinzi, a little surprised.
Where did the country bumpkin come from? A ingot of gold is only one thousand taels of silver. He actually wants to book a Hongmen Inn?!
There are so many playboys in Jinling City, but they don’t have any reservations.
but.
The prefect said that if there is suspicious signs and strangers appearing in the inn, try to stay and monitor the movements.
"Uh... the three masters, the Jinling Prefecture Prime Minister has implemented a real-name system after taking office. All inns and restaurants in the city must be registered with real names, otherwise they cannot be checked in. The names of the three masters?"
Manager Xiang Da quickly collected the gold and said with a smile.
"Que Quan, Wu Liang, Lei Ben! The merchant from the north."
Prime Minister Que Quan was silent for a moment and said.
They are just famous in Shouchun City, Huainan. After Huainan Kingdom, the people in Jinling City cannot recognize them at all.
Even if someone recognizes them, it doesn't matter. After all, they have done nothing now. You can't catch them for no reason, right?
After they assassinate Xiaohunhou, they immediately flew away without worrying about anything.
"Oh, okay! Three masters, just say what you want."
Manager Xiang Da quickly wrote down their names with a brush.
These three names are easy to remember!
Disability of rights!
Unscrupulous!
Tears collapsed!
It sounds impressive.
"By the way, I have some merchants and friends to come tonight. You should be careful to entertain and don't neglect!"
Que Quan said.
"Yes~yes~, the old men are resting so hard, this shopkeeper will definitely get things done!"
Manager Xiang Da nodded and bowed, and quickly wrote it down.
...
Wait for them to go upstairs.
The waiter at the inn next to him muttered: "These are thin skin and tender flesh, pampered and expensive, and they don't look like businessmen! There is also a fierce swordsman. They are not here to kill people in Jinling City, right?"
Manager Xiang Da knocked over his head and cursed: "You know, you are just talking too much, so why don't you wait and beg for it. If you talk too much, you will be deducted your salary!"
The waiter ran away with his head in his arms.
...
That night.
There were some "distinguished guests" one after another and they checked into Hongmen Inn.
These mysterious guests gathered in Hongmen Inn.
For a time, fifty or sixty assassins gathered in Hongmen Inn. They were mysterious and mysterious, either strategists or assassins.
They were all assassins and counselors sent by the princes and kings, and were ready to take action together.
Rebellion is not a matter of one family, but a matter of more than ten princes and kings.
Of course, everyone has to do something like assassinating Xiao Hunhou.
The princes of Wu, Chu, Zhao, Jiaoxi, Jiaodong and other sent assassins to participate in the assassination operation.
The King of Huainan sent Prime Minister Que Quan, counselor Wu Liang, and the famous master-level assassin Lei Ben in the world.
Que Quan's status is the highest among the crowd, so he is naturally one of the masterminds of this assassination...
However, the King of Wu also sent Princess Xiang Xiang to lead some assassins to participate, and was also one of the masterminds.
Xiang Xiang, the daughter of the King of Wu, was eloquent and talented. She had been active in Jinling City for half a year. She secretly spread gold and treasures, gathered Jinling heroes and strategists, met various dignitaries, inquire about the trends of the court, and accumulated connections.
Even the Xiongnu, Baiyue, Xianbei, and envoys from various countries in Jinling City, who were also the masterminds behind the scenes and all came to Hongmen Inn to attend this secret meeting.
They were one of the masterminds hidden deeper, but they did not send assassins to attack.
The assassins of the Xiongnu prince Yizhi laughed and said, "On behalf of the military minister Shanyu, I make a promise to the lords and princes.
As long as you princes and kings join forces, our Huns will immediately launch an army of 300,000 to harass the border and restrain the Great Chu border troops, so that they cannot return.
Just take down the Jinling Imperial City. If you are the leader of the Great Chu emperor, we all welcome you. Our Huns and Great Chu will always be brotherly countries."
"Yes, we can also raise an army and support you to raise an army on the border! Just rest assured, all princes."
Envoys such as Baiyue and Xianbei also expressed their opinions.
Princess Xiang Xiang, Que Quan and other advisers sneered in their hearts after hearing this.
The Great Chu Dynasty was strong in its national strength and had more than 70 million people. It has always looked down on these barbarian countries.
They also don’t know what the barbarian countries such as the Huns, Baiyue, and Xianbei are trying to make.
It was nothing more than taking advantage of the situation and trying to get some benefits from the civil strife in Da Chu.
However, their princes also needed the Xiongnu, Baiyue and Xianbei to work hard to harass the border and restrain the army of the Great Chu Dynasty.
Among them, the Huns were the most powerful, which was enough to restrain hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Chu Dynasty.
Otherwise, the hundreds of thousands of elite border cavalry in the Great Chu would be guarding against the Huns in the north. Once they returned to clear out the princes and kings, it would be really difficult to deal with.
It's just mutual use, there's no cooperation.
"Thank you for your help. After the matter is completed, we, the princes and kings, will definitely thank you.
Next, we will discuss some internal affairs and how to assassinate Xiao Hunhou.
The envoys are too conspicuous and easily exposed their identities. They do not need to participate in this assassination. Please go back! Just wait for the signal that Xiao Hunhou died."
The prime minister lacks power and says politely and coldly.
After the princes and kings successfully rebelled and the civil strife of the Great Chu was quelled, they would sooner or later deal with these barbarians.
"Okay, wait for the good news!"
"As soon as Xiao Hunhou died, we will definitely send troops."
The prince of the Huns, Yi Zhi, and the envoys of Baiyue, Xianbei and other countries also knew their identities. After making an appointment, they did not stay at Hongmen Inn for too long and left quickly.
Que Quan watched them leave coldly, and was quite disdainful.
Dozens of assassins from the vassal states continued to discuss the best plan to assassinate Xiao Hunhou in Hongmen Inn.
Chapter completed!
