Now Tang Yin is more and more able to understand why ancient kings had wives and concubines. In addition to the supreme status, political marriage was also one of the important factors.
For example, now, he doesn't even know what Shao Xuan looks like, how old he is, and what his temperament is like as mentioned by Shao Fang, so he has to agree to this marriage.
He said with a smile: "Since she is Brother Shao's sister, how can I refuse?"
Shao Fang was very happy and said with a smile: "So Brother Tang agreed?"
"certainly!"
"Well, when... the big thing is decided, I will send Youqin to Brother Tang."
Tang Yin nodded with a smile and said nothing more.
If he had known that Shao Fang was planning a marriage, he might as well have recognized him as his god-sister and then married him. He muttered silently in his heart.
Tang Yin only stayed in Shao Fang's house for one day. The next day, he bid farewell to Shao Fang and returned to Feng Country. Before leaving, he specifically told Shao Fang that within twenty days, the assassins he sent would contact him. Tang Yin
Due to his special status and the sensitive matter of assassinating the king, Shao Fang was unable to keep him and reluctantly said goodbye to Tang Yin.
After returning to Feng Kingdom, Tang Yinke did not return to Yancheng, but temporarily stayed in Baguan. At the same time, he ordered Letian to send letters to Hedong and Yancheng Feige respectively, urgently summoning Jiang Fan, Jiaxi and other secret agents to Baguan.
.
Hedong is a long way from Baguan. No matter how fast Jiang Fan travels and travels day and night, it will still take nearly twenty days. The secret arrow personnel headed by Jiaxi only took ten days to arrive at Baguan and meet with Tang Yin.
During this period, Tang Yin had been staying in the inn to hide his presence from others, and Jiaxi and others also followed his wishes and came secretly in casual clothes.
After the meeting, Tang Yin said straight to the point without any unnecessary nonsense: "Jiaxi, this time I have a narrow escape mission for you to do."
Hearing this, Jiaxi's heart was shaken. He was nervous and a little excited at the same time. He raised his hands and said, "If you have anything to entrust to your subordinates, your Majesty, just give me your orders."
Tang Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Go and assassinate someone."
"who?"
"Mo Wang Shao Ting."
Ah? Jiaxi stiffened and stared at Tang Yin in surprise. The latter said: "This assassination of Shao Ting can only succeed and cannot fail. But the assassin may also escape death. I need you to guide me."
Twenty dead men have been selected from among the Dark Arrow brothers who came here to complete this mission. If you are afraid or unwilling to take on this important task, just tell us now and I can replace you with someone else."
Bang!
Jiaxi knelt on one knee, raised his hands, and said with emotion: "The king's kindness to his subordinates will be unforgettable. Even if they die hundreds of times, they will be willing to do so and will never be greedy for life."
"Okay!" Tang Yin stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Jiaxi up, and sighed: "I am very reluctant to let you do this, but I really can't worry about letting others do it."
"Your Majesty..."
Tang Yin bit his lip and said: "Do what I tell you, do it immediately, and then leave for Mo Country immediately. After entering Mo Country, someone will pick you up and take you to Zhenjiang, the capital of Mo Country. After you arrive at Zhenjiang, you
Go to the second master of Mo State, Shao Fang, and he will tell you the details."
Shao Fang? Isn't Shao Ting Shao Fang's father? Why is he still involved in this matter? Jiaxi looked at Tang Yin with confusion on his face.
He smiled slightly and said: "The purpose of assassinating Shao Ting this time is to help Shao Fang ascend to the throne."
"Oh, that's it!" Jiaxi had heard about the darkness of the fight for the throne. It was not surprising that sons killed their fathers, fathers killed their sons, brothers killed each other, etc. Under the temptation of the throne, family love
It already seemed insignificant. He asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why do you want to help Shao Fang?"
Tang Yin put his hands behind his back and said quietly: "By helping him, we are helping ourselves." He changed the topic and said: "Whether we can succeed this time depends on you."
Jiaxi's face straightened and he said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will try their best, even if they are broken into pieces."
Tang Yin nodded, waved his hand slightly and said, "Go!"
"Take care, your Majesty, my subordinates...resign!" Jiaxi understood that even if he succeeded in assassinating the prince, there was basically no hope of escaping alive. This farewell would most likely mean goodbye forever. He took a deep look at Tang Yin and said,
He took two steps back, bowed deeply, then turned around and strode out.
Tang Yin was indeed reluctant to sacrifice Jiaxi and An Jian's brothers, but he had to make this choice because only dark spiritual cultivators could get close to Shao Ting and kill him unexpectedly.
Looking at Jiaxi's leaving figure, Tang Yin sighed quietly.
There were more than fifty secret assassins brought by Jiaxi. When he proposed to select twenty dead men, none of the more than fifty people flinched and they all stepped forward. Having too many people to go is not necessarily a good thing, and may even be harmful.
It might be counterproductive and expose the target prematurely. Jiaxi selected 20 elites from more than 50 people, then left the city overnight and entered Mo Country.
Just as Tang Yin said, as soon as he left the Ba Pass, people from the Sky Eye came to pick him up not far away. The Sky Eye personnel had already obtained Mo ** Fang’s pass documents from Shao Fang, and it was very easy when they led Jiaxi and others through the Mo Country Checkpoint.
It went smoothly, without being subjected to too many interrogations, and then the group went straight to Chengjiang, the capital of the Mo Kingdom.
There was no words all the way. Ten days later, the secret agent led by Jiaxi entered Zhenjiang. Guided by the Sky Eye personnel, they secretly went to Shao Fang's mansion to meet with him.
In order to narrow down the target and for safety reasons, Jiaxi did not take the other brothers with him and went alone.
It was Yuan Yin who brought him into the mansion through the back door. There was no politeness or unnecessary nonsense between them. Yuan Yin directly led Jiaxi into the secret room of the mansion.
Shao Fang had been waiting in the secret room for a long time. After seeing Jiaxi, he looked at him with dazzling eyes.
It turned out that he was a dark spiritual cultivator. After observing with the technique of insight, Shao Fang knew what he was doing. He asked, "Did Brother Tang send you here?"
After being introduced by Yuan Yin, Jiaxi already knew that the young man in front of him was Shao Fang, the second prince of the Mo Kingdom. He raised his hands and said, "Yes, young master!"
"How many of you are here?"
"There are twenty-one people in total."
Shao Fang raised his eyebrows. Only twenty-one people came. Is that enough? He asked expressionlessly: "Do you know the purpose of your trip?"
"Before I leave, your Majesty has made it clear." Jiaxi heard Shao Fang's contempt and said, "Young Master, please rest assured that the twenty brothers who came with me are not under me."
"Oh!" Shao Fang nodded. If so, there might be a chance of success. He asked no more questions and raised his head to Yuan Yin, who immediately took out two maps from under the table and spread them on the table.
First he spread out a map and said: "This is a map of the capital city. The route the king takes out of the city has been marked. General Jia will see if there is any chance to take action."
Jiaxi stepped forward, lowered his head and looked at it carefully. From time to time, he pointed to both sides of the route and asked about the terrain there. The vowels... gave detailed answers so that Jiaxi could understand as much as possible about the situation there.
After some questioning, Jiaxi fell into deep thought, and finally shook his head and said: "If we start in the city, there are many people and many obstacles, so it may be difficult to succeed."
This was exactly what Shao Fang thought. He raised his head to Yuan Yin, who spread out the second map and introduced: "This is a sketch of the hunting ground of the king."
This time Jiaxi looked more seriously, bending down and looking carefully at every bit.
Shao Fang said: "There are two thousand palace guards around my father, and there are also the First Corps of the Central Army as guards. Apart from these, you must be careful about the two generals around my father."
"Two generals?" Jiaxi looked at Shao Fang doubtfully.
"One is named Lian Ge and the other is named Xiang Hui." Shao Fang said quietly: "These two are recognized as the two strongest generals in our country of Mo. As far as I know, their cultivation levels are both in the spiritual realm.
."
After Jiaxi heard this, his brows knitted into knots. Those who could reach the Spiritual God Realm were almost equivalent to the body of a demi-god. A top-level expert in the Spiritual God Realm was no longer something they could deal with.
What's more, there are only two of them, plus more than 10,000 Mo troops as guards, Shaoting's defense can be said to be an iron wall, impermeable to wind and rain.
He asked solemnly: "Can't we take away Lian Ge and Xiang Hui? Even one of them!"
Shao Fang smiled bitterly. It was not that he could not mobilize these two people. The key problem was that once he removed these two people, the biggest suspicion after his father's assassination would fall on him. He did not dare and could not do this.
He shook his head and said faintly: "I have already thought about this problem. With Lian Ge and Xiang Hui here, there is no possibility of success. But it can be like this. I will deliberately walk at the end when the time comes, and you will allocate a few people first.
Come and stab me, it doesn’t matter if you stab me, the main thing is to lure Lian Ge and Xiang Hui over, and as long as you lure them away, you can suddenly kill my father."
Jiaxi's heart moved, this was a good idea, and at the same time it could eliminate Shao Fang's suspicion. He nodded and said, "Young Master's plan is very clever, just follow the Young Master's advice!"
Shao Fang said: "Where are you going to ambush? Lian Ge and Xiang Hui's cultivation is too high, and their insight can be used very far."
Jiaxi rolled his eyes and already had a countermeasure in his mind. He said: "Master, we will hide in the dense forest and take the Sanling Pill in advance to avoid Lian Ge and Xiang Hui's insights. When we are about to take action, we will
Gather spiritual energy.”
Shao Fang smiled and said, "It's just as I thought." As he spoke, he rolled up the map and handed it to Jiaxi, saying, "Use this map to understand the terrain first. Be sure not to lose it."
"I understand."
"Father, the hunting date is set for the thirtieth of this month. You still have more than ten days to prepare."
"yes!"
Shao Fang shook his head again and Yuan Yin took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Jiaxi.
The latter took it curiously and opened it to see that there were pills inside.
He looked at Shao Fang in confusion, not understanding what these pills were for.
Shao Fang smiled faintly and said with a deep look: "You also know the danger of this operation, and being captured is inevitable. These pills can protect you from torture after being captured."
