Nanjing.

"Is the news true?"

"There will be no fake. Many people have seen it with their own eyes. Wang Xiao was injured by a knife and it is possible that he died because of this."

Chen Bao asked again: "Is it Guan Ming or Tong Yuanwei's move?"

"It's not clear yet." Zeng Tongzhen replied: "They all denied this matter, but they were indeed setting up an ambush that day to assassinate Wang Xiao."

After reporting the matter, he was also a little confused and pondered: "Xiao Guan originally thought Wang Xiao was a hero of the world. Guan and Tong were just rats. I didn't expect that they could really successfully attack. Now the situation has changed again."

Zeng Tongzhen felt that the situation has changed so quickly in recent times that he could not keep up.

I wanted to win over Wang Xiao, but I planned it with great interest for so long, but thought that once Wang Xiao succeeded in winning over Wang Xiao, there was great prospects.

Four famous scholars from Jiangnan were sent to invite each other enthusiastically, and finally convinced each other. Before they finished scanning the bed, they received news that Wang Xiao came over and wanted to kill him.

Just as I was about to teach this shameless person a lesson, telling him that this is the end of not eating a toast and not eating a punishment, the other party was assassinated again...

He planned with great effort and made preparations with all his heart and strength. In the end, he all fell into the empty space and threw his eyes to the blind man.

"This matter is suspicious. I don't believe in Guan Ming. Tong Yuanwei and others can kill Wang Xiao." Chen Bao said, twisting his long beard.

Zeng Tongzhen said: "But Wang Xiao was seriously injured and dying. This news will not be false. Many people have seen it with their own eyes."

"It is probably done by someone else. Wang Xiao cannot be unprepared for Guan Ming and Tong Yuanwei. Even if he is a fool, he should have expected that they would ambush him. The information also said that Wang Xiao's carriage was attacked before he even entered Suqian, which is enough to prove this..."

Chen Bao twisted his long beard, looked at him with his eyes open and whispered to himself: "Who will it be? Zheng Yuanhua?"

"The officials also thought about it, but since Zheng Yuanhua has gone, why should he send someone to assassinate?" Zeng Tongzhen said: "Can they be Jiannu's people? The assassin is said to be dressed as a monk, which is the common method used by Jiannu...or who has a personal grudge with him?"

Chen Bao was alert after hearing this and decided to send more people to protect himself, so as not to be assassinated by Jiannu...

As for the assassination of Wang Xiao, the two of them thought about it and speculated many possibilities, but it was difficult to determine.

"Let's check this carefully beforehand. Tong Zhen thinks that Wang Xiao will be seriously injured, what will happen?"

"Yes, Guan Ming and Tong Yuanwei are likely to counterattack Xuzhou next. If they really conquer Xuzhou, the officials speculated that they would likely hostage the King of Qi, imitate Wang Xiao, and annex Shandong, and separatist the side. However, they do not have the ability. We can send people to Shandong to contact Shandong civil and military officials, conquer Shandong's strong army in the name of avenging Wang Xiao, and use them to abolish the four arrogant soldiers in the four towns... In this way, things in the world can prosper."

"But if Guan Ming and Tong Yuanwei's tens of thousands of troops could not capture Xuzhou, which was only two thousand people defended." Zeng Tongzhen said this, sighed and continued: "Although this matter is impossible, if it happens, we will have to give Wang Xiao a try..."

Hearing this, his eyes looked at the file on Shen Bao's case again.

——At that time, it’s better to use this method to fight Wang Xiao…

Chen Bao followed his gaze,

"Then let's take a look."

The newly promoted chief minister sighed and said, "The people of Shandong are also people of Great Chu. I have been thinking about it and it is always inappropriate to use this method to govern the Yellow River... Let's take a look..."

~~

At the same time, there are others discussing this matter.

"Just just a trick, the person whom the fool himself arranged to assassinate himself."

"Why did my grandfather make such a judgment?"

"Lu Zhengchu was killed by the Jiannu Assassin who pretended to be a monk. If that fool didn't know how to take it as a warning, he would not be worthy of being my opponent... He saw my plan and used a slowdown strategy."

"Then we have to do it as soon as possible? But Chen Xiao hasn't made a decision yet. He doesn't make the order, but he is afraid that the matter cannot be confirmed and it will be difficult to make the reputation of the Restoration Society fall into a slump. Wang Xiao's move is not only slowing down, but also Chen Bao. According to his grandson, even if Wang Xiao notices it, he can't stop it. It's better to do it properly. If someone catches the handle..."

"Chen Bao was hesitant, just to see if Guan Ming could conquer Xuzhou and get rid of that crazy. It seems that this crazy man is becoming more and more determined, and he dares to push his life and the King of Qi to this gambling table. Since that's the case, let's take a gamble with him..."

~~

Xuzhou.

"I'm afraid that my hard work trick can only relieve Zheng Yuanhua for a few more days."

After Wang Xiao said something, Qin Xiaozhu tucked the corner of his quilt and said with a heartache: "It's only been a few days since such a serious injury. Isn't it in vain?"

"That's worth it. If every injury can be relieved for a few days before he can be cured... Has Fang Yizhi been reported recently?"

"Not yet. They should have already arrived in Shangqiu Prefecture. They don't know what the specific is..."

Wang Xiao became worried again.

But I have done everything I should do, and now I can only place my hope on the team going north.

He doesn't like this feeling of handing over the things to others and waiting for news, but this time there is no other way, so he can only hope that Fang Yizhi and others can get things done...

Wang Xiao's wound has healed and he can remain awake.

But since he said that he could not afford to be seriously injured, he simply hid in the house all day long to avoid the rumor of the wind, which scared Guan Ming and Tong Yuanwei, who did not dare to attack Xuzhou.

The knife stabbed between his heart and liver. Although it was a good position, it hurt the diaphragm and felt like there was air leaking in his abdomen. He felt that he had a lot of effort to breathe. If he breathed too hard, he would have a faint pain. He felt uncomfortable when he spoke and had bad appetite.

Perhaps it was because the "assin" did not dare to attack and stabbed the knife hard, and he deliberately turned his heart a little bit to avoid it.

The injury of this internal organ does not heal so quickly. The doctor said to treat it slowly and wait for it to recover after one or two months.

Compared to skin injuries, this state of poor breathing and loss of appetite is actually more tormenting. Drink some soup every day and use your strength to breathe. Therefore, Wang Xiao looks listless every day when he leans on the couch.

Qin Xiaozhu talked with him for a while, and counting on the time, the siege sent out should come back, so he got up and turned around and left the house in three steps to deal with the defense.

Wang Xiao lay there alone, feeling his heavy breathing, gradually getting tired, and was about to fall asleep, but he heard someone talking outside, but Pei Min came again.

Others may disappear, but there is no reason why the Jinyiwei has his own eyes and ears.

As soon as Pei Min entered the house, Wang Xiao stood up and asked, "Is there any news coming from Kaifeng?"

The sound was buzzing, as if a hole was knocked on a musical instrument, and he felt it was difficult for him to do so.

"Report to Duke of the Kingdom, no news has been heard back in Kaifeng... His Highness the King of Qi summoned the humble position."

Wang Xiao lay down again and signaled Pei Min to say.

"Your Highness learned about Zheng Yuanhua's plan to flood Kaifeng, so he summoned Beiye to discuss and asked Beiye a question. Since Zheng Yuanhua planned to kill two birds with one stone, and to deal with Shandong and Chen Bao and Fushe, why don't we send people to contact Chen Bao and work together to defeat Zheng Yuanhua's conspiracy?"

"Mr. Zuo's instructions are that Nanjing should not act rashly, and be prepared to push public opinion after we take Kaifeng, forcing the people who are in the society to clear the way from Chen Bao, and deal with Chen Bao and Zheng Yuanhua. Your Highness believes that this move is useless and should be beaten up."

Pei Min only heard Wang Xiao’s heavy breathing, but did not hear the answer, so he started talking again.

"Your Highness also said that Chen Bao's support for the pseudo-emperor is a great crime, but he is willing to let go of prejudice, put the overall situation first, and give priority to protecting the people. Bei Zhi thinks this makes sense. I believe that as long as Chen Bao knows Zheng Yuanhua's conspiracy, one thing, he will no longer give Zheng Yuanhua the handle to put his own affairs on his own; the other thing, we can also use his power to stop this matter and attack Zheng Yuanhua."

"Because your highness and Lord Zuo have different opinions, I don't know who to listen to, so I come to ask the Duke for advice."

Pei Min was a little frightened.

Not to mention Zuo Mingjing, even the Duke of the State is not as high as the King of Qi. Since His Highness has spoken, he still has to come to ask the Duke of the State for advice. It is very...it's nothing.

I usually follow the instructions of the Duke of the People, and everyone is used to it. Now suddenly there are two voices on my head, making things difficult to do.

After a while, Wang Xiao said, "I remember when you were a Baihu of Taiping Si, Xiao Chaihe was just a gambling house in the capital... the owner of a gambling house?"

Pei Min shivered and could hear Wang Xiao meant to be stupid.

——No wonder Xiao Chaihe has become the commander, you are still like this.

He quickly apologized and said, "I am humble and stupid! I can't figure out the key point, so I ask the Duke to punish me."

"Nanjing and Kaifeng are thousands of miles apart. What can Chen Bao stop it? It's hard to deal with Zheng Yuanhua alone. Do you have to add another pig to hold back?"

"this……"

Wang Xiao said, "Remember to me, be pure when doing things, focus on practice, and don't mix too much power desires. Once you have too much power desires, you won't be able to see things clearly..."

Pei Min was even more shocked, not knowing whether Wang Xiao’s words were saying to him or whether he wanted to tell the King of Qi himself.

"High job...humble job..."

"Go and check, who has recently gone to your highness to have a breath... After checking it, ask him if he thinks I can't get up."

"yes."

"Go down... If you have any news about Kaifeng, report it to me as soon as possible."

He drove Pei Min away, and Wang Xiao lay there with his eyes closed, feeling a little boring.

There are major forces in the world, and there are various factions among them... There are countless small disputes in the big battle, even in the big mansion, wives and concubines in each house have to fight. This is normal and inevitable.

Today, this incident is nothing more than some people who think they are seriously injured and their minds are active again.

With his current power, he can suppress it in just one sentence. He doesn't care if he handles it casually...

But the problem that Wang Xiao could easily solve was difficult for Zuo Mingjing.

She suddenly felt that some things were becoming tricky when dealing with them.

For example, because she was worried that Guan Ming would come to attack Xuzhou, she ordered the people outside the city to move to the inner city a few days ago. This morning, she asked about the progress and told the officials that if the inner city could not be resettled, she could be resettled to the Ministry of Housing Mountain.

However, the officials replied, "Your Highness had appointed his subordinates last night and temporarily moved the remaining people to Pei County."

This kind of thing can be moved to Housing Mountain or to Peixian, but it is not easy to say how to do it better.

But since the King of Qi gave the order, Zuo Mingjing nodded and agreed.

"According to what Your Highness has given, it is..."

However, there were several things like this next, including several things that the Jinyiwei had to do, and the King of Qi had arranged in advance. Some of them had the same opinions as her, and some were contrary to her.

"Send a few people to send Lord Chen Jingfu to Shandong secretly, don't let people notice it."
