Everyone present was not a fool, and they all knew the troubles and difficulties of joint assassination, but no one raised any questions.
Whoever claims it shall give evidence.
Since Tian Heng proposed the plan, Tian Meng naturally solved the problem.
If he can't solve it...then there's no point in talking about it.
Indeed, there was no need for them to take the initiative to question it. Tian Heng took the initiative to talk about the difficulties of the alliance:
"I know that you must have many doubts about the joint assassination."
"I can't completely solve this problem on the spot, but since this matter was first raised by our Tianchen clan, we will definitely assume our due responsibilities."
"According to the information we have received so far, Ying Zheng's memorial ceremony will have to wait until four days later. We have enough time to solve the problem bit by bit."
"And now the first thing to sort out is... who's going to join?"
Tian Heng looked around, but no one responded to him.
Everyone stared at Tian Heng with different expressions, each with their own plans in mind.
This is the first question Tian Heng raised, and it is also the question destined to be the most difficult to respond to.
The people present are all high-level leaders of their respective forces, but there are not many people who can truly speak out and be decisive.
Whether or not to definitely join the joint assassination operation proposed by the Tian family will definitely have to be discussed after returning home before a final decision can be made.
If Tian Heng asks now, he is bound to get no answer, but... he must ask.
If he doesn't ask, how will he reply later?
This is a necessary process, even if it is useless, you still have to take this step.
Of course, with Tian Heng's temperament, these words are not something he can say.
Today's meeting is essentially a meeting between Tian Dan and the major anti-Qin forces. Tian Heng is just a mouthpiece for his elder brother.
The room fell into silence. After a while, someone other than Tian Heng finally spoke, breaking the deadlock.
The person who spoke was Taizhi, and it was he who represented the Mohist family in the meeting.
As for why it was him... of course it was because he ran fast and had a high safety factor.
Xue Nu doesn't like to deal with unfamiliar people, so Xiaoyaozi and Gai Nie's identities are not suitable.
No matter what important matter Tian Heng or the Tian family wants to discuss, it cannot be finalized directly in the first meeting. In this case, there is no need to ask Master Ban to come over.
It would be enough to send Thief Zhi over to listen to the content - by the way, Renzong didn't send anyone at all and just let Thief Zhi work part-time.
And now, Robber Zhi raised a question:
"According to your opinion, do you plan to take action directly in Yishan without waiting for Taishan to be enshrined?"
The matter of joint assassination will definitely not be discussed today, but we must try our best to resolve the concerns and problems involved.
Negotiate the parts that can be negotiated directly, and discuss the parts that cannot be negotiated later.
Robber Zhi is the one who asked the first question.
Tian Heng nodded directly, "That's right, we don't plan to wait for Mount Tai to be enshrined and directly seize the opportunity in Yishan."
Theoretically speaking, the opportunity of Taishan Fengchan is actually more suitable.
Because Mount Tai is much larger than Mount Yi, the ceremony for enshrining Zen is much more complicated than the Mount Yi ceremony, with many more steps.
And larger space and more steps mean more loopholes, more loopholes, and more opportunities.
Whether it's an opportunity during an assassination or an opportunity to escape.
However, the defensive force that Ying Zheng could mobilize was actually not much different. The main force was always the thousands of armor-piercing soldiers led by Han Xin.
The reason why these anti-Qin forces came to Yishan to stay early was not to take action in Yishan, but to observe in advance.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, just observe it first, the risk is not big anyway.
As Tian Heng gave an affirmative answer, someone immediately followed and continued to ask:
"The risk of taking action in Yishan is obviously greater. Why did you choose this?"
"Because of Gu Xun." Tian Heng curled his lips and answered, seemingly unwillingly, "That imperial master is a huge risk that cannot be controlled."
"We have received definite information that he will participate in the Taishan Ceremony, but he should not participate in the Yishan Ceremony."
As soon as this answer came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion among everyone, and small whispers could be heard endlessly.
Tian Henghua's evaluation of Gu Xun is basically everyone's consensus.
This is a big trouble that no one wants to face.
Before Tian Heng revealed the information that Gu Xun would attend the Mount Tai ceremony, most of the anti-Qin forces concluded that he would not participate.
On the one hand, Gu Xun has always been out and about, and is not keen on participating in high-profile activities.
On the other hand, because of Fusu's demotion, the eldest son's faction lost power, and many people re-examined the relationship between Gu Xun and Ying Zheng.
As the imperial advisor, whether Gu Xun is favored or not makes little difference to people like them, because they should be defeated or not, and they should not be offended or offended.
But for their assassination operations, the difference is much greater.
Some people couldn't help but question, "Is the news true?"
"Absolutely reliable." Tian Heng replied without hesitation, "We have confirmed that Gu Xun has now disappeared from Songhai."
The crowd's discussion suddenly became louder.
The one who is the calmest is Robber Zhi, after all, the Moh family has basically recognized this matter a long time ago.
However, what these anti-Qin forces are most concerned about now is not whether Gu Xun will participate in the Taishan Ceremony, but whether he will participate in the Yishan Ceremony.
"Are you sure that he will not participate in the Yishan Festival?" Another person asked in the crowd, his tone a little anxious.
After Tian Heng considered it for a while, he shook his head and said, "We can't be completely sure, but judging from the current intelligence, he will not appear."
The people around looked at each other, but for a while no one said anything.
Tian Heng cannot give a 100% guarantee, which means that Gu Xun is still possible, but at most the probability is low.
If it is possible, they have to be concerned about the consequences after this possibility actually occurs.
There is no doubt that the consequences are serious, very serious.
Low probability but high risk...this situation can make people very embarrassed.
I'm not willing to just give up, but if I continue to take risks... I might lose everything.
In silence, everyone reluctantly reached a tacit understanding that this issue should be ignored for the time being.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The joint assassination is just the beginning. Troublesome issues like Gu Xun can be discussed later. It is better to save time now and move on to the next question.
"Do you have a more detailed plan?" Someone broke the silence and asked Tian Heng.
Tian Heng was also happy to see that the topic of Gu Xun was ignored. He grinned and nodded, "Of course, otherwise why would I come to you?"
"We have very detailed methods, um... very valuable ones." He emphasized, and then said, "But regarding this plan, only those who are truly determined to participate can know the contents of the plan."
"I hope you can understand that although the organizations each of us represents are on the same front, it does not mean that everyone is reliable."
There is basically no problem with the stance of the anti-Qin forces, but whether there are any problems with those within the anti-Qin forces is another matter.
He told the whole plan in a straightforward manner, and if there was an Imperial undercover agent present, everything would be over.
………………
At dusk, in the Yishan area, inside the temporary foothold of the Mohist family.
Thief Zhi hurriedly pushed open the door and entered, where Master Ben and the others had been waiting for a long time.
Under the somewhat eager gaze of Master Ban, Tao Zhi walked to the table and took a sip of tea, then sat down and said:
"We guessed right before. The Tian family is here to assassinate Ying Zheng."
"They feel that one person can't do this, so they plan to unite everyone to create a big one."
"Joint assassination?" Master Ban touched his beard, "This kind of operation sounds very troublesome."
It would be okay to join forces to carry out an ambush or something, as long as the tasks are slightly distributed and made reasonable, all parties can basically accept it.
But it may be difficult to reach an agreement on whether to join forces to assassinate or assassinate Ying Zheng, an extremely dangerous goal.
"It's troublesome. A group of people gathered around and discussed it for a long time, but they didn't even come up with a general idea." Hearing this, Thief Zhi shook his head and said with deep feeling.
With his character, he really couldn't bear to listen to a group of people nagging him for most of the day.
The key is that there isn't much content that is meaningful to him - each group of people has their own concerns and they care about different points.
Gai Nie interjected and asked the key point, "Why did the Tian family suddenly think of joining forces to assassinate?"
"Because of Gu Xun." Pirate Zhi replied with a smile, "They received the news that Gu Xun would participate in the Taishan Ceremony, so they planned to launch an assassination in Yishan. However, they did not have enough strength and did not have enough time to make temporary preparations, so they had to join forces.
.”
"Of course, this is the explanation given there. I don't know if it is true or not."
"Being afraid of the power of the Imperial Master and being forced to activate in advance... is an acceptable reason." Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Here Xiaoyaozi only said that this reason is acceptable, but did not think it was the truth.
"It doesn't matter if the reason is true or false, what matters is what should we do?" Yuki-onna interjected.
"What's their plan?" Master Ban looked at Thief Zhi and asked.
Thief Zhi raised his eyebrows, spread his hands and replied, "I said I have a plan that will definitely work, but I didn't tell it out because I was afraid there would be an undercover agent from the empire."
"There is no problem with this concern." Master Ban nodded, not questioning the Tian family's concealment, "But...is there really any perfect plan to assassinate Ying Zheng?"
When Master Ban said this, his eyes turned to Ganie.
As Ying Zheng's former personal bodyguard, Ge Nie may be the most professional person on how to assassinate Ying Zheng.
Gai Nie thought for a moment and replied, "I can't think of any suitable plan, unless... people from the Tian family can easily get close to Ying Zheng."
Ying Zheng's security cannot be said to be very meticulous and rigorous, because there is no such profession these days.
However, Yingzheng's security is sufficient and strong enough, so it is difficult to say that there are any loopholes.
No matter what, in this era, if you want to kill someone, you have to get close, and if you want to get close, you have to get rid of the people who protect Ying Zheng.
"Hmm..." Thief Zhi rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then guessed, "Did they find some secret trail where they can directly ambush Ying Zheng who is going up the mountain somewhere?"
"The imperial army has been searching the mountain. There can't be any hidden trails that they can't discover, right?" Master Ban felt that Thief Zhi's guess was unreliable. "Even if it does exist, at most it will provide a stable opportunity for assassination.
If you really want to succeed, you will have to fight hard."
"Perhaps..." Gai Nie lowered his eyes and made a guess in a deep voice, "There are people from them among the people who went up the mountain to attend the ceremony."
If Ge Nie must come up with a plan that is guaranteed to assassinate Ying Zheng, then the only possibility is to go undercover.
Only when Ying Zheng has his own people around him and is connected internally and externally can we guarantee the breakthrough of Ying Zheng's protective force.
"In the dark..." Xiaoyaozi whispered this possibility again, and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, "I think it is possible. Maybe this is the reason why the Tian family is willing to come forward to unite with other forces."
Whether it's a spy or an undercover agent, this method can generally only be used once.
If the Tian family really has this condition, they must try their best to ensure that it is not interfered by other factors.
Therefore, we should avoid Guxun and do it in Yishan.
Therefore, we must mobilize as much power as possible and unite other forces.
Upon hearing this, Master Ban's eyes lit up, and he was visibly attracted.
"Mr. Guy, if this is really the case, do you think it is possible to succeed?"
It would be difficult for any anti-Qin force to refuse the temptation to assassinate Ying Zheng.
Gai Nie was silent for a moment and then replied, "It's possible... provided that Gu Xun is not here."
Regardless of his identity, Ying Zheng is just an ordinary person with mediocre martial arts skills. People will die when they are killed, and Ying Zheng is certainly no exception.
For a master, taking the life of an ordinary person is just a blink of an eye.
Xiaoyaozi looked around at everyone, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It seems that we have to carefully consider the Tian family's proposal."
Master Ban and others looked at each other and nodded involuntarily.
You really need to think about it seriously.
………………
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, in another house in Zouxian County.
Tian Heng grabbed a big gun and approached an acquaintance of his.
"You're not going to have a hand in such an exciting thing as the assassination of Ying Zheng?" Tian Heng asked Chen He with a smile.
Chen He looked at him calmly and shook his head without hesitation, "I'm not interested in actions that are destined to fail."
"How could it fail?" Tian Heng spread his hands and replied with raised eyebrows, "I have a reliable plan and it will definitely succeed!"
"Mr. You Gu, no one can kill Ying Zheng." Chen He replied calmly, unmoved.
"But he's not here!" Tian Heng raised his voice and replied.
"Are you sure?" Chen He asked back.
"Have you seen him?" Tian Heng also asked back.
Chen He stopped talking.
He really didn't see Gu Xun here.
Seeing that Chen He had nothing to say, Tian Heng smiled and continued, "Anyway, he is definitely not here at the moment. You can prepare first. If he suddenly appears on the day of the operation, you will have to quit at worst."
"How about I don't include you in the assassination plan for now, just pretend you don't exist and you can withdraw at any time?"
Chen He looked at Tian Heng, hesitated and nodded, "Okay!"
He also could not resist the temptation to assassinate Ying Zheng.
Tian Heng smiled and patted Chen He on the shoulder, "I knew you wouldn't refuse."
"However, due to my brother's instructions, I cannot tell you the detailed plan for the time being. We have to wait until the forces that are interested in participating gather together to discuss it."
Chen He had no objection to this and nodded calmly, "Okay."
Tian Heng picked up the big gun and said no more, "Then I won't disturb you for now. I will let you know when the time comes. See you later."
After saying that, he turned around and left neatly - this house was Chen He's place to stay, not his.
