Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 105: Assassination
Just as the two sides were gearing up for a big battle, the media in the imperial capital seemed to smell something, and quickly divided into two factions and began to prepare for the big battle between the two sides. "Oriental Times", "Empire News", "Business Weekly" and other media chose to support Xijiang without any suspense. Infiltration, from the arrogance of the Japanese in the Great East to the decay and decline of the land nobles in Yanyun, it seems that all the ugliness of the entire northern power will be exposed at once, and on the other hand, it is to publicize with great fanfare how to defend Western Xinjiang. The Tang clan conquered the nomads with honor, how to open up territories in the west and the south to open up trade routes, how to spread the Tang culture and art to highlight the prestige of the Tang clan, these two comparisons make the people feel that the struggle between the two sides is clear at a glance. .
The bridgeheads of conservative forces such as "Daily Express" and "Voice of Tanghe" recounted the history of Li Wufeng's rise, vaguely describing Li Wufeng as a warmonger who used political speculation to bully the weak, an ambitious man with endless appetite. The ambitious man who betrayed the empire, except for blindly launching wars, it seems that he has never had any outstanding political achievements for so many years, but because there are too few materials that can be used to attack the western border, and foreign wars have always been The feats used by each dynasty to show off are always not so confident when used to attack the opponent, and the people in Xijiang are now living in peace and prosperity, and the business is prosperous. It is inevitable that these materials will be stretched and lack confidence, far inferior to the offensive launched by the opponent. so fierce.
Fortunately, the battlefield of public opinion is only a tool to divert people's attention, and only the outcome on the battlefield is the key to the real decision of victory or defeat. The two sides have never hoped to resolve the dispute through public opinion. What's more, once this war *starts, it cannot be stopped so easily. There is no reasonable ending, and it is afraid that it will not stop.
The military confrontation between the two sides in the cloud quickly attracted the attention of the whole empire. Everyone looked at both sides with a kind of apprehension. The outside world is concerned, but what everyone is worried about is that the two most powerful forces in the empire are likely to trigger a dispute in one place into a full-scale military conflict, and then the entire north will become a battlefield, and it may even spread to the imperial capital. You must know that both sides retain military power in the imperial capital, and each controls a city gate. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Situ Yuan, who has just ascended the throne. He originally hoped to gain some time to stabilize his rule in the imperial capital and gradually control There is a neutral military presence in the imperial capital, but now it seems a little naive.
When Situ Yuan wanted to recruit the two for peace talks, they almost agreed by coincidence. Both sides politely rejected the attempt to calm down the two sides. The refusal of the two kings of Yan and Qin finally caused the two sides to completely tear off the masks covering their faces. , all-out war is inevitable.
Walking into the room, Yao Lian couldn't help trembling in her heart. The other party's cold eyes wandered over her body like the core of a poisonous snake, especially her face and chest. Although they were still covered with black scarves, every time Yao Lian They all felt that the other party's eyes could pierce their own hearts, and every meeting like this would give Yao Lian nightmares for several days in a row.
"Yao Lian, everyone Yao, one month has passed, and it seems that you have not made any progress." The man in black knelt on the simple straw mat, his blue cheeks seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but his pair of triangular The gaze in his eyes was extremely sharp, his thin lips were a little black, and his hands were on the shore, but his words were without emotion.
"Li Wufeng is now living in the imperial capital, and he doesn't even step out of his residence. Although I visit the door, the other party won't allow anyone else to enter. I'm weak, so what can I do? Don't you have other people in the imperial city?" Arrangement, you should be clear about these situations." Yao Lian calmed down, turned her eyes slightly away from the other party, and said indifferently.
He licked his lips a little anxiously, the triangular eyes of the man in black surged darkly, he suppressed the impatience in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "If it wasn't like this, why would we ask you to come? Is it because you want to perform for Li Wufeng and invite pets? Time is urgent now, you must make an appointment with Li Wufeng before he leaves Beijing, the location may be determined by him, you just need to tell me the location in advance."
The outbreak of the war in the cloud made Li Wufeng's time to leave the capital seem to be shortened. If he doesn't find an opportunity in the next few days, I'm afraid that once Li Wufeng returns to his own territory, he will have no chance again. One mission must achieve the goal, and sacrificing the stunner in front of him is not hesitating. The man in black stared straight at this seemingly weak but always somewhat rebellious woman in front of him.
"It's impossible! Li Wufeng, an ordinary person, can't even see him. How can Yao Lian ask him out? If you want to take this opportunity to find an excuse to embarrass Yao Lian, you might as well say clearly that this impossible task is placed in the It can't be done by anyone." Yao Lian's face was calm, the other party's request was within her expectation, it has been more than a month since she came to the emperor, except for herself who entered Li Wufeng's mansion twice, other outsiders can't enter at all, as for asking If you want to ask the other party out, it is even more difficult than going to the sky. To propose such an invitation so abruptly now will only increase the other party's suspicion.
Doesn't the man in black know that this kind of behavior will only increase people's suspicions, but now there is not much time left, and if the task cannot be completed, it may be difficult to report to the superiors if he goes back. If he fails, he will lose Yao Lian at worst. Although he was a bit reluctant, he couldn't care less now. If he didn't do it, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it when the higher-ups asked him to be held accountable.
"Yao Lian, let me tell you, this time, if you can do it, you have to do it, or if you can't do it, you have to do it. You probably know the task this time, and we have no choice. You haven't made any achievements, and I can't explain it to the higher authorities." At this time, the man in black had already torn his face, and said word by word: "If you can successfully ask Li Wufeng out, no matter what happens next, I can assure you, Your family will be free."
Shocked all over, Yao Lian raised her head to meet the crazy gaze of the other party. Although the guy in front of him is humble, he should be quite honest with his words, "What guarantee do you use? How can I trust you?"
Seeing that the other party's tone was relaxed, the man in black put down the stone on his chest immediately. The woman in front of him is definitely not as weak and unsophisticated as outsiders see. As long as the other party can accept it, this matter will definitely happen. Almost sure.
"Miss Yao Lian, I know you can't trust us, but you Tang people have a saying that people are Daozu and I am fish, which probably means this. You are fish now, and we are Daozu. You have no choice, let alone I miss us It's been a while since I've dealt with you. Maybe you don't like how I behave, but I believe you understand my reputation. At this point, I've fulfilled my duty by giving you such a promise. You The safety of the family is also tied to you, as long as you do your best, we will naturally be able to find out, and it all depends on you." At this time, the words of the man in black seemed to be much more real.
Unable to see the reality of the other party, Yao Lian could only nod silently. She didn't have any confidence in her heart, but as the other party said, she had no choice.
Wufeng weighed the invitation card in his hand, resting his chin thoughtfully, "Miss Yawei, you mean, this Yao Lian is suspicious?"
"That's right, Your Highness, according to the clues His Highness gave us, we have monitored Yao Lian day and night. Her actions are very simple, she hardly ever goes out, but she must go to the White Horse Temple outside the city for a walk every week. Unfortunately, we originally thought that she had some connection with the White Horse Temple~IndoMTL.com~ But now it seems that she has some contacts with a few mysterious people living in the White Horse Temple. Although they behaved very normal, it is precisely because of this This kind of too ordinary behavior will let us realize the difficulty. They hardly stay at home, and they are no different from those lay Buddhists who devote themselves to practicing Buddhism. But for a month, they rarely communicate with the monks in the temple. Our people used the "Diamond Sutra" to make a test, and although the other party responded fluently, they forgot that there is a difference between the Japanese version of the "Diamond Sutra" and our Tang version of the "Diamond Sutra". She was still dressed plainly, and her shoulder-length jet-black hair was combed into two long braids hanging behind her head, giving her a bit more youthful vibe and less of the twilight of the past.
In fact, Wufeng has already learned from Gu Dengyun that the admired Qin Xian has an ulterior secret, but everyone has secrets, as long as his own safety is not endangered, Wufeng does not want to ask too much, but As Wufeng's security department, they don't think so. As long as they have had contact with their lord, know the details of the other party, possible potential dangers, and which side the people who are closely related to him mainly belong to, these information must be mastered. They were a little suspicious when Yao Lian went to the northwest, and later Yao Lian stayed in the northwest for a long time, which made the Xijiang security department even more worried, and finally brought Yao Lian into the security department's detection and monitoring range.
Yao Lian chose to come to Beijing during the gathering of the three kings, which immediately triggered the sensitivity of the security department, and Yao Lian was also invited to participate in Wufeng's reception, and moreover, she was still performing for King Qin in Wufeng Mansion. The contact tightened the strings in the hearts of the security services. Now at this time, His Royal Highness Qin Wang was invited to participate in the piano art performance. Although it was also within the control of the East City and West Frontier Army, the risk was still not small.
