Three days later, Gu Xun and Yan Lingji once again drove the luxurious carriage that had been idle for half a month on the road.
In three days, many changes took place in Handan City. The most important one, and the source of all changes, was that Guo Kai, the prime minister of Zhao State who was at the height of his power and had overwhelming power... died.
The current official statement is that Guo Kai died in an assassination, which was a follow-up to the previous assassination, while the theory circulating on the street is that Guo Kai died in a vendetta.
The difference between the two is that the former may not be someone else Guo Kaixian provoked, it may just be that he simply blocked the way of some people, while the latter must be the sin he committed first.
It was rumored that the day before Guo Xiangguokai was killed, he had sent a group of men to hunt down someone... It was probably someone, but unfortunately it failed, and he eventually incurred revenge. He was assassinated in the Prime Minister's Mansion that night.
Among them, his whole family also died together.
Of course, there is another version that the Prime Minister's Mansion recruited robbers, because not only did people die that night, but most of the property in the mansion was also robbed.
But obviously, these versions are not correct, but they all have something to do with it. The assassination that day was the beginning of everything. Guo Kai's money was indeed taken into consideration, and the rumor of revenge, as far as the content is concerned, is
Everything is correct, but not comprehensive.
The actual situation is that after Yue Shen finished chatting with Gu Xun that day, he returned to the Yin Yang family stronghold and arranged the deployment of manpower. Then he and Mrs. Xiang and his sisters deliberately showed up in the city. Although Guo Kai began to reduce the manpower for the search, it was not completely completed.
After giving up, I naturally got the news. Of course, I sent a large number of troops to surround and kill the three people of Luna.
The result of this operation is self-evident. Naturally, it was a complete failure. Not only did the three of them successfully escape from the encirclement, they even staged a scene of being seriously injured and barely escaping, which made Guo Kai mistakenly think that the three of them were...
At the end of the war, he sent extra manpower to search the whole city, and at the same time relaxed the guard at his house.
In the end, the Yin Yang family disciples, who are all good at hiding their lives, rushed into the Prime Minister's Mansion in the middle of the night, eliminated Guo Kai without making any noise, and moved away the money in the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight, totaling 130,000 gold in cash, as well as other valuable items.
Luxury goods, Luna promised that after selling these items, he would give Gu Xun another 20,000 gold, making up the total of 150,000 gold.
In fact, the most valuable things in Guo Kai's hands are his land deeds and house deeds. Those things together are worth at least two to three hundred thousand gold. Unfortunately, those things are tied to his identity, so there is no use taking them away. In any case, Guo Kai, the once-famous Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, is now completely indifferent, and he still died of too much money...
Zhao Wangqian found out everything and knew that it was the Yin and Yang family who did it. After all, he was the king of Zhao and this was Handan. Moreover, the moon god did not hide his identity specially, but Zhao Wangqian could only communicate with the people who were still alive.
Like Guo Kai, he secretly accepted the loss of being dumb, because on the surface, it was Guo Kai who attacked Luna God and the others first...
It is impossible for Guo Kai to tell Zhao Wangqian that he took money from the Yinyang family and stole things from your Zhao royal family, but was tricked. Therefore, his excuse to Zhao Wangqian at that time was to capture the person behind his assassination. Zhao Wangqian
Qian Qian naturally sent a team of forbidden troops to him, plus a group of martial arts masters raised by Guo Kai in his own house, and they attacked the Moon God in a mighty manner. Who would have thought that so many people could not keep the Moon God III?
Man, Guo Kai himself is cool at the speed of light.
When Guo Kai died, Zhao Wangqian was naturally furious. He mobilized all his forces to investigate the matter thoroughly. The final answer he got was that the murderer was the Yin Yang family, and the reason was that Guo Kaixian suddenly killed the Yin Yang family.
Zhao Wangqian was dumbfounded. He now had no evidence to link Guo Kai's previous assassination to the Yin and Yang family. In other words, Guo Kai's story was untenable, and it was reasonable for Luna and the others to retaliate.
The Yin and Yang family is backed by the towering tree of Qin State, and Qin and Zhao are feuding. There is no tenable reason. Even as the king of Zhao, he has no way to retaliate against the other party, at most within the borders of Zhao State.
The forces that suppress the Yin Yang family cannot even do it openly, they can only do it secretly.
Therefore, in the end, the people of Handan got such rhetoric. It can be regarded as Zhao Wangqian trying to save his respect...
………………
"Shopkeeper, how long will it take for us to get there?" Yan Lingji looked at the long-lost natural scenery outside through the curtains of the carriage with some interest... In fact, there is nothing interesting to see. It is approaching winter, and the grass and trees are basically dead, and the branches and leaves
Withered, dim and dull, everything you look at is a dim and desolate twilight scene.
However, after spending half a month in the city watching the living masonry figures, it was still a bit refreshing to be back in nature again.
Gu Xun touched his chin, opened the atlas and made a careful assessment, "At our current traveling speed, it will take at least nearly a month to reach Yanmen County."
"A month?" Yan Lingji frowned and considered the issue of time, and couldn't help but wonder, "It won't arrive in half a month...will the battle be over by then?"
"Hmm... Logically speaking, no, the war shouldn't be that fast." Gu Xun didn't understand very well, and said vaguely and half-analysed, "It will take time for Li Mu to rush back to Yanmen County. At this time, even if he is working day and night,
If you stop and hurry up, you will only just get back to where you were before you have time to really fight back."
"Generally speaking, when dealing with the wolves, we stick to the Great Wall and fight against the enemy. When the cold winter comes, the opponent will naturally withdraw."
"Calculating this, we should still have one or two months."
"But everyone says that Li Mu is the Northland Military God. What if he can defeat the wolves in just three attacks?" Yan Lingji can't believe Gu Xun. Do you understand about the war?
"But his military policy for guarding the Northland these years has been to defend with a strong wall." Gu Xun further explained, "He has no reason to take the initiative. Hard expenditure is the best choice. It only takes two short months to defeat him.
The wolf tribe returned without success, and he could even take advantage of the wolf tribe's retreat to launch a counterattack and harvest part of the wolf tribe's troops."
"...I hope so."
"...To be on the safe side, let's speed up the journey." Although he was confident, Gu Xun also felt that it was not good to waste time, so he finally suggested.
"Speed up... won't it be like when we went to Xianyang?" Yan Lingji asked back.
Now they are traveling much faster than before. Otherwise, the journey from Yanmen County to Handan, which is thousands of miles away, would have taken at least two or three months at the previous speed, which was not even faster than human walking.
"No, it's just not as comfortable as it is now." Gu Xun shook his head and denied.
When he rushed to Xianyang, it was because Ying Zheng was in a hurry. No matter how bad the road was, the carriage would fly up. The quality of the carriage itself was average, with zero shock absorption. Even martial arts masters could not withstand the fatal bumps. Now this carriage is
Luxurious version of the top-of-the-line BMW, with technology from the Gongshu family, materials sponsored by Yingzheng, huge space, four-horse drive, stable chassis, first-class shock absorption, the effect is incredible, as long as you don't race on a broken road where you can't run at all.
