Turbulent Times Chapter 717: Assassination (Part 1)

The other two thousand cavalry engulfed like a tsunami and charged into the Bingzhou Army from the side. The right wing of the Bingzhou Army broke down first. , Bingzhou army was defeated, the soldiers trampled on each other, scrambling to escape for their lives, throwing away their armor and armor, scattered and fled, or surrendered on their knees and begged for mercy.

In this battle, Yang Yichen beheaded more than 10,000 enemies, captured more than 20,000 enemies, and seized countless food and supplies. The main general Gao Shishan died in the rebellion.

This battle not only wiped out Gao Ying's 40,000 army, but also caused the situation in Bingzhou to develop against Gao Ying. One-third of the counties and counties under Gao Ying's control directly defected The imperial court no longer supported Gao Ying, while counties and counties that remained on the sidelines issued declarations against rebellion one after another, reprimanding Gao Ying for kidnapping the youngest son of the King of Han to seek rebellion.

…

Taiyuan City.

Looking at the information in his hand, Wang Junlin said, "The suzerain of a powerful family like Wang has the power of an emperor in his own clan, but Wang Xiong, as Wang Long's younger brother, controls a family that is not weaker than the suzerain Wang Long. Influence, and almost took Wang Long's suzerain position, it can be seen that Wang Xiong, as his name suggests, is indeed a hero."

Nie Xiaoyu said: "Gao Ying's confidant general Dong Qingyun who stayed in Taiyuan, under the command of Lang Yu Chengjie. The leather mask has been made, and tonight Wang Xiong will hold a banquet at Chunmanyuan..."

Wang Junlin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "First of all, we must find out the layout of the banquet venue. Xiao Yu, you have to go to this matter yourself."

Wang Junlin's promise to kill Wang Xiong in front of Wang Long was not just a temporary decision. After being ambushed in Taiyuan City a few days ago, Wang Junlin knew that people like Wang Xiong were difficult to control, so At that time, the target was decisively changed to Wang Long. And for Wang Long to conspire with him in Taiyuan wholeheartedly, the premise is that Wang Long must completely control the Wang family. So Wang Xiong must be removed.

However, to kill Wang Xiong in Taiyuan City is like getting fleas on the head of a tiger. The Hundred Knives League is the largest power in the rivers and lakes of Bingzhou. Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu have personally experienced it, and their strength is strong. What's more, the masters under Wang Xiong's command are definitely not from the Baidaomeng family. There are also many masters in the Taiyuan Gambling Square, headed by the seven-kill old man Zhang Gan.

Furthermore, after many years of operation, Wang Xiong's business, property, wealth, force, and personal connections have all become extraordinary. If he hadn't wanted to replace Wang Long as the suzerain of the Wang family, and the two brothers would work together to run the Wang family, the Taiyuan Wang family might surpass the Dugu clan and become the number one clan in the world.

…

…

Chunmanyuan is Wang Xiong's property, and now it is the number one brothel in Taiyuan, with extraordinary style, especially the structure of the four high-rise buildings connected in a loop, which is a magnificent scene that other brothels cannot match.

Because Chunmanyuan is Wang Xiong's property, if you want to assassinate Wang Xiong here, if you want to go deep into the tiger's den to fetch tiger cubs, if you accidentally expose your hiding place, you will be besieged by the enemy and it will be difficult to escape.

The time when Taiyuan Lang Yu Chengjie, who was dressed up by Wang Junlin, entered the hall used by Wang Xiong to entertain guests was carefully calculated. Before the table.

At this time, the atmosphere in the banquet was lively. When the eighteen kabuki dressed up like colorful butterflies retreated from the gate like a colorful cloud with light and graceful postures, Wang Junlin suddenly appeared at the gate with a burden on his back. The majestic and heroic appearance of the long knife immediately attracted the attention of more than a dozen guests in the hall.

The singing girl left from his left and right sides, the guards of the Hundred Swords League were caught by his aura and recognized him as General Taiyuan Lang and dared not stop him.

In the huge hall, there are nine short tables on the left and right, and there is a person behind each, revealing the vast space in the center, a venue for singing and dancing.

Wang Xiong sat on the north side of the main gate, about thirty steps away from the entrance.

Wang Junlin raised his head to the sky and let out a long laugh that shook the sky, and said loudly: "The second master of the Wang family, please forgive me for coming here without invitation, because I heard that the second master of the Wang family is hosting a banquet here, so I came to join in the fun."

Wang Xiong immediately showed a look of vigilance and vigilance. The main guest Wang Xiong hosted tonight was Taiyuan Governor Shi Du Ruofei. "

Du Ruofei is only of medium build, in his mid-thirties, he is an obvious literati, with a Chinese face, a neatly trimmed short beard, extending to the sideburns, deep eyes and a high nose, with sparkling eyes, quite refined. .

The other four officials from Taiyuan who came to the meeting with him also stood up from the two seats on the left and right to pay tribute to Wang Junlin. Obviously, Yu Chengjie, who Wang Junlin dressed up, has a high status in Bingzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a high position and authority .

Although Wang Xiong was not happy in his heart, given the current situation in Bingzhou, he didn't want to offend a general like Chengjie, so he also stood up and saluted, showing his due demeanor, and said with a smile: "General Yu is here! , is my honor."

Wang Junlin glanced around, and found that a small half of the guests in the hall had seen each other before. They were all officials under the command of Yang Liang, the former king of the Han Dynasty. Now they are Gao Ying's subordinates. These people all know Yu Chengjie. Yu Chengjie was a little strange at night, but he didn't think too much about it. They all smiled and clasped their fists in salute. Wang Junlin responded with a smile, but his attention fell on the other two.

He knew these two people and had fought against them. One was Ning Shaobao, the leader of the Hundred Swords League, and the other was the old man Qisha, who was in charge of the Taiyuan gambling house. They sat in the two seats behind Wang Xiong, and the angle of the seats allowed them to monitor the doors and windows on the north and south sides. When they met Wang Junlin's gaze, they immediately showed sharp expressions.

At this time, a group of servants carrying soup filed into the hall, and Nie Xiaoyu's voice came from Wang Junlin's ears: "I'm already in place!"

When Wang Junlin climbed up, his spine was stiff. He slapped the long knife on his back, strode forward, rushed towards Wang Xiong, shook his head and sighed: "Wang Xiong, what do you mean? General, don't you look down on generals?"

The guests who were whispering to each other suddenly stopped and became silent, only the footsteps of the serving servants could be heard in the hall. Everyone can see that Wang Junlin is not just here to join in the fun.

Du Ruofei stared at Wang Junlin in astonishment, with a puzzled look on his face.

Wang Xiong's eyes were deep, and he frowned and asked, "What is the meaning of General Yu's words?"

Including old man Qisha and Ning Shaobao, all attention was focused on Wang Junlin, and he didn't even notice that the servant dressed as Nie Xiaoyu was entering the south hall.

Nie Xiaoyu has naturally changed her appearance. After knocking down a servant by surprise, she took him to a secluded place and changed into his attire. A plate of boiling hot soup was held in the queue.
