Chapter 251: Enough to deal with Zhuang Shao

Chapter 251: Enough to deal with Zhuang Shao

The dark brocade robe with gold thread cloud patterns made An Pengyi's expression look even more solemn.

"The decree must be passed on urgently. There can be no delay. If there is any delay and the prince is injured, Lord Xu and I will certainly lose our lives. But if we hurry along as the decree says, we may fall into a trap and our lives will also be in danger."

"We are in a losing situation on both sides. We are helpless. We have no choice but to visit Lord Ning and ask for advice. How can we break the deadlock?"

Ning Fengzhe has graceful brows and pursed lips.

"Master An, please be patient and wait for me to think about it."

After responding, he instructed Wen Jia.

"Go and invite Lord Feng, the Minister of Secret Affairs."

Wen Jia responded and left.

"Yes."

When mentioning Feng Yihe, An Pengyi couldn't help but think of the plan he had made in the morning.

"You and Lord Feng made a brilliant plan. You wanted to sit back and watch the fire, and use the Fu Liang League to wipe out the Supervisory Guard."

"Once the Supervisory Office is lost, the Emperor Jin Palace will be in danger. It's like a thing in the palm of your hand, easily obtainable."

He sighed with some worry.

"Now, they are seeking to recuperate, and they must be planning to hold out forever."

"Alas, we are still a step too late. Princess Yuexi or Lord Lin had already left a plan before leaving."

"This is going to be difficult."

Ning Fengzhe's eyes were sparkling and he saw through everything.

"It's not that they are staying put, but they have other secret arrangements."

At this point, a letter was delivered to Huixinju.

Ning Fengzhe opened the envelope, lowered his eyes to read it, and smiled disdainfully.

"Lord Fang's letter states that Prince Dijin actually went to Quxin Mountain. He is waiting at Gandong Mountain and asked me to meet him."

"This letter is to lure me into the game. I've said that if he dares not to acknowledge Zhuang Shao's identity, I will kill him without mercy."

An Pengyi's face was full of worry.

"When you told me this on the day of the flower viewing banquet, I found it incredible. How could the Fang family have conspired for so many years and deceived the emperor to this extent? It's really terrifying."

"The emperor values ​​the Zhuang family. Once he admits his identity, he will be given important positions. You must not act rashly or the emperor will blame you."

Ning Fengzhe regarded it as a worn-out shoe.

"He has already recognized the enemy as his friend and betrayed the emperor's great kindness. He is a man without conscience. What's the point of keeping him?"

An Pengyi was shocked.

"Do you want to follow his wishes and take the initiative to join the game?"

A thin mist lingered in his mind, and he felt confused and uneasy, waving his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, I don't understand what this plan means. If you rush into this game, you might get tricked."

Ning Fengzhe complimented him accordingly.

"This plan is simple and obvious. Lord An is too modest."

Then, explain it to him briefly.

"We made a plan to deal with the Supervisory Office, and Xi'er used King Dijin as bait. The lure was so great that it prompted us to join the game."

"On the one hand, we can only do it slowly; on the other hand, we may be able to achieve success in one step. In your opinion, Lord An, which choice should we make?"

An Pengyi seemed to understand, but still couldn't figure it out.

"How did Lord Ning know that this plan must have come from Princess Yuexi, and not Lord Lin?"

Ning Fengzhe felt helpless.

"Lord An, you are joking. How could I not see through my little sister's plan?"

An Pengyi was filled with shame.

"Lord Ning has a keen eye. I am ashamed to say that I am not as good as him."

Seeing that Ning Fengzhe was confident, he also felt his morale boosted.

"As you said, if we take it step by step, isn't the ultimate goal also King Di Jin? Since there is an opportunity, why not be more decisive and give it a try?"

Ning Fengzhe smiled with relief.

"I think the same thing as you, Lord An."

While the conversation was going on, Feng Yihe rushed to the Ningguo Mansion as quickly as possible.

The three of them greeted each other briefly and took their seats one by one.

Feng Yihe smiled slightly, with a little makeup on, and was as gentle as water.

"Wen Jia sent a message, Lord Ning wants to see me about something urgent?"

Ning Fengzhe handed over Yu's edict and letter.

"Xi'er has a plan to lure us into this game. Please review it, Lord Feng."

Feng Yihe also saw through it at a glance.

Considering that Lord An might not understand, she explained it in detail.

"This plan is simple and straightforward. It directly points out that Prince Dijin is in Quxin Mountain and Lord Fangbo is in Gandong Mountain."

"Princess Yuexi knew that we were targeting Prince Dijin, so she left him alone to give us the opportunity to assassinate him. She was planning to deal with the Tongshitai, so Lord Fang led the people from the Supervisory Tai to arrive early and use the terrain to set up an ambush."

"Lord An only needs to pretend to go to Gan Dongshan, but actually avoid Lord Fang, hide quietly, and get rid of King Di Jin. Yu ordered the two lords to go to Gan Dongshan to protect the emperor, but King Di Jin died in Qu Xinshan. The directions are one north and one south, and they are far apart. The fact is obvious that King Di Jin's death has nothing to do with you, the Tongshitai."

"This way, even if we enter the game, we will win big."

"But Princess Yuexi, the design is so crude that it is really suspicious. After thinking deeply, perhaps it is just the opposite. Prince Dijin is in Gandong Mountain, while Lord Fang is in Quxin Mountain."

"If we make the wrong choice, Tongshitai will be doomed."

An Pengyi roughly understood the meaning and nodded suddenly.

"I just can't figure out the plan of Princess Yuexi. Lord Feng is indeed wise."

"If King Dijin is in Gandong Mountain, and we go to kill him, and Yu's order is here, how can we get away with it afterwards?"

Feng Yihe has bright and lively eyes and an orchid-like temperament.

"Here is a letter from Lord Fang. He is a close confidant of King Di Jin. When you two see the letter, you will naturally believe it. Then, you will fake Qu Xinshan's whereabouts and actually go to Gan Dongshan to kill King Di Jin quietly."

"Mr. Fang signed his letter with a seal, in addition to his signature. If this letter is made public, no one will speculate that it was written in a parody handwriting."

"Then, the death of Prince Dijin and his expulsion from Dongshan was the fault of Lord Fang. As for the motive, we can just dig up the past. In the early years, the Supervisory Office was involved, which led to the extermination of the Fang clan. However, Prince Dijin still uses the Supervisory Office. Lord Fang has been holding a grudge and has been planning for a long time."

An Pengyi still had some questions and continued to ask questions.

"The people of Taichung are of great importance. How can we explain to the world after they blatantly kill us all?"

Feng Yihe explained patiently.

"It's not easy to protect the emperor, and there are bound to be dangers. In the Yueshengxingliang War, Tongshitai made great achievements. The Fuliang Alliance has been eyeing them covetously for several years, wanting to avenge their grievances."

"No matter where they died, you all have done a great job in protecting the emperor. King Dijin will posthumously confer a heavy reward on you, and that will be enough to settle the matter."

After fully understanding it, An Pengyi became even more uneasy.

"This plan is really dangerous. If the wrong person is chosen, Prince Di Jin will be able to overthrow the government, and the consequences will be disastrous."

The teacup in front of An Pengyi was empty. Ning Fengzhe picked up the teapot and poured tea calmly with a lingering fragrance.

"Don't worry, Lord An. Xi'er's plan is indeed hard to figure out, but they didn't expect that I had an informant in Prince Dijin's mansion. I can tell you where Prince Dijin and Lord Fang's carriages are heading. You don't have to bother figuring it out."

"Out of consideration for the brother-sister relationship, Xi'er had no intention of harming me. She originally intended to guide me to where King Dijin was, just to negotiate. Lord Feng followed the Lords of Tongshitai to break the situation, and we can just attack their weak points."

An Pengyi understood what he meant and became worried again.

"So, you still want to go to where Lord Fang is and meet him?"

"That's not right. He has a lot of people with him, and they are very powerful. If you join in, wouldn't that be a trap for you?"

Ning Fengzhe remained calm in the face of adversity and remained arrogant and confident.

"Lord An has forgotten again that he is not Fang Zhixuan at all, but Zhuang Shao."

"Xi'er's plan is unpredictable, and he actually wants to cooperate with her. Isn't he overestimating himself?"

"Please, sir, send a copper official with his guards to accompany me. It will be enough to deal with Zhuang Shao."
