Chapter 1103
Chapter 1103
That same night, as Xu Shan stayed overnight at Mount Emei, allowing his brothers to vent their frustrations, a storm was brewing in Chengdu, the "Land of Abundance," with undercurrents stirring within the city.
'Boom.'
The deafening thunder roared throughout the heavens and earth.
The torrential rain shrouded the entire capital of Chengdu in a curtain of rain.
At this moment, Zhu Wuji, unlike his former dejected self, stood domineeringly in the pavilion of the Prince's mansion, gazing into the distance.
The maid beside him respectfully reported, "The Holy Monk has confirmed that the Princess of Shu is indeed heading towards the Miao territory."
"The current news is that she has already entered Meishan."
"Even if she learns of the changes in Shudu, she won't be able to make it back in time."
"A report came from Prefect He's side."
"Now the people in the city have begun to doubt the ancestor of witchcraft."
"The commanders of the city defense battalion and the patrol battalion have all been properly handed over."
"For Your Highness... tonight is the best opportunity to make your move."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wuji immediately exclaimed, "Good, good, good!"
"Tell them that tonight they are only allowed to win, not lose."
"I will stand with them!"
"Yes!"
After answering this question, the maid quietly withdrew.
Standing alone on the attic, Zhu Wuji muttered viciously, "Shi Qing, you vixen..."
"What I have lost over the years, I will recover with interest."
Inside the main courtyard of Yongsheng Trading Company in Chengdu.
Wang Qinian, who had led his troops to this place after a long journey, was listening to Wu Jieyu's report.
At the same time, the secret agents planted by Shenjishu in Chengdu and the intelligence networks held by the Embroidered Uniform Guard all gathered information into his hands.
"Shi Qing pulled off a clever escape."
"Although her camp is located in the heart of Meishan, she has already returned with her core troops."
"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry returning to Chengdu have already infiltrated the city in small groups under Cao Ming's command."
"If the city defense battalion and the patrol battalion make any unusual moves, they will inevitably clash."
"Zhu Wuji did not fully trust us and handed over the command of the two battalions to He Zhishan."
"But they handed over all their hired assassins to us, to be under our unified command and to carry out the assassinations."
……
Wang Qinian looked at the intelligence report in his hand while listening to Wu Jieyu's summary.
After he finished speaking concisely, Wang Qinian sneered, "According to the master's wishes, they should be allowed to fight like dogs."
"Furthermore, Cao Ming must die."
After saying this, Wang Qinian put away the intelligence report on the table and then asked, "Holy Monk Sun Xiaoyu, what's the situation now?"
"According to the adults' plan, he has already 'exposed' himself."
"Currently, at least two groups of people from [Kui Dou] are watching his every move."
"In other words, in the eyes of Shi Pan, the deputy leader of [Kui Dou], he has already taken control of the entire Shudu area."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian smiled.
"The master said that the most perfect plan is to bring the opponent infinitely close to success. He boasts of being a master strategist!"
"High-end hunters often appear as prey."
After saying that, Wang Qinian immediately gave the order: "First, stir up the waters of Chengdu."
"【Kui Dou】deliberately threw out several baits, ordering the assassins raised by the aristocratic families to take the bait."
"Once they show themselves, have Group One and Group Two use this opportunity to take them down."
"Tonight's great battle is about to begin."
"Yes."
"Notify the people in Groups Three and Four that once the fighting begins in the east and west of the city, they should cooperate with the Holy Monk to launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside to eliminate the other two groups of [Kui Dou]'s forces."
"In a word..."
"On the surface, we can allow Shi Qing to regain control of Shudu, but the main force of [Kui Dou] and the backbone of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry must be eliminated tonight, with no one left alive."
"This will lay a solid foundation for our master's journey to Sichuan early tomorrow morning."
"understand!"
"Your subordinate, I will take care of it immediately."
After Wu Jieyu left, Wang Qinian changed his domineering demeanor and pushed open the door to the inner room with a fawning smile.
At this moment, Chen Dingtian, who was being treated to good food and drink inside the house, glanced at him and said, "Tell me, that brat Xu Shan, who do you want me, the number one Demon Suppressor of the Great Ming Dynasty, to help kill?"
"Master Chen, how could I trouble you with such a serious matter as murder?"
"We only need your help, Celestial Master, to set up a few 'talisman arrays'!"
"The woman after it's all over..."
“My master said… the Shu Prince’s residence is open to any choice of the Heavenly Master. The Shu Prince’s consort is also an option.”
"Of course, if the Celestial Master likes it, then so be it, King of Shu."
'puff. '
"Go to hell."
……
At Wang Qinian's command, the assassins kept by the aristocratic families took action.
In front of the residences and outer chambers of several deputy generals of the patrol battalion and city defense battalion...
A series of dark figures sneaked in despite the rain.
The members of the [Kui Dou] group, who had been lying in ambush at the spot where they appeared, quickly reported the situation.
However, Kui Dou's every move was keenly observed by the Jinyiwei, who were like 'the oriole in the back'.
Shi Pan, the deputy leader of the Kui Dou organization who was stationed in the central capital of Chengdu, sneered upon learning of this matter, "He Zhishan, He Zhishan..."
"You think you can overthrow the entire capital of Chengdu with these Dead Servants?"
"Who the hell gave you that confidence?"
"Have your men carry it out; leave no one alive!"
"But it was publicly announced that these deputy generals had died."
"I, the leader, want to see just how many people they have bribed in the city defense battalion and patrol battalion."
"Yes!"
After the subordinate withdrew, the deputy generals of the city defense and patrol battalions who were protected by Shi Pan appeared one after another and said, "It is still Chief Shi who is truly a master strategist."
"Every move the opponent makes is meticulously calculated."
“I know, we are the absolute direct subordinates of the Princess Consort of Shu. If you want to control the city, you must first deal with us.”
"So they deliberately 'threw out' our whereabouts, thus letting them take the bait!"
'boom. ’
"what!"
"Ow."
No sooner had they finished speaking than ear-piercing and gruesome sounds of hacking and screaming erupted from several of the "bait" locations.
Upon hearing the sound, the several lieutenants followed the leader, Shi Pan, to the window and look out.
"Ouch!"
"Why is there such a commotion?"
"Won't this arouse the suspicion of He Zhishan and his men?"
"hehe."
"The bigger the commotion, the more it will stimulate He Zhishan and his gang of self-proclaimed 'strategists'."
"In their view, they have already succeeded."
"Haha."
"A scholar's rebellion will not succeed in three years!"
"Everything is under Chief Shi's control."
As he spoke, the deputy generals and adjutants under his protection clasped their hands in a salute towards the stone slab.
'Boom.'
Just as they finished speaking, a piercingly loud bang suddenly rang out.
