Fushan County, east of the city.
The entire east of Fushan County was rather affluent. In a certain house in this area.
In the study in the backyard.
A white-haired old man who was close to fifty years old, dressed in luxurious clothes, sat on the main seat.
The old man had brown skin, and his black hair was already graying. He had a curly beard under his chin, giving off an extremely rough feeling. However, his eyes were deep and wise, as if he had seen through the world.
The old man's name was Babur.
He was a local of Fushan County.
Babur ran a small business that specialized in pawning goods.
Although Babur was not well-known in Fushan County, his small business was spread all over the city. He had shops in the east, south, west, and north of Fushan County. They were all pawnshops.
Babur was reading a book now.
The book he was reading was actually news sent by the pawnshops in the four cities.
It was about the latest pawnshop income.
A pawnshop owner, especially one as experienced as Babur, would only make money and never lose money. As he was reading the news, he heard a knock on the door. The butler said, "Master, it's me!"
Babur said, "Come in!"
The door was pushed open with a creak, and the butler stepped in and bowed to Babur.
Babur said, "What's the matter?"
The butler said, "Master, I just received news that Zhang Zhongjing, Cui Youxian, and Li Xiao, who were hiding in Fushan County, have conspired. They have brought their men out of the city and are preparing to kill Du Qi on the way. This was because the government had already sent out news that Du Qi was leaving Fushan County for Yongye County. These people are going to assassinate Du Qi. "
"Great!"
Babur smiled brightly when he heard the news.
"This moment has finally come."
Babur's face was full of anticipation. He said in a low voice, "Go and inform Yan Pu that I have something to discuss with him."
"Yes!"
The butler turned and left.
Yan Pu was Babur's aide. He was responsible for strategizing for Babur.
The housekeeper went to inform Babur. Not long after, Yan Pu stepped in and bowed to Babur.
Babur said, "Mister Yan, I just received news that Zhang Zhongjing, Cui Youxian, and Li Xiao are plotting to assassinate Du Qi. After all, Du Qi was about to leave Fushan County. What should we do now? "
Yan Pu said, "Let's wait and see."
Babble asked, "What do you mean?"
Yan Pu said solemnly, "Family Head, you have been hiding in Fushan County under the orders of the County Governor. It has been more than ten years since then. He had already endured such a long time, so how could he be impatient? We can't be too hasty right now. "
Babur was from Jingyang County.
Jingyang County was located in the north of Songyang County and bordered Songyang County.
Babuer had been assigned to Fushan County by the Jing Yang County Governor to keep an eye on the situation there.
When Babur heard Yan Pu's words, he looked around and said, "Mister Yan, tell me in detail. What are your plans? After all, given the current situation, Du Qi is preparing to leave for Yongye County. If we can't kill Du Qi outside the county, it will be difficult to assassinate Du Qi when he arrives at Yongye County. "
"For example, Du Qi is in Fushan County right now. We are also in Fushan County. Du Qi basically doesn't come out. All day long, he stays in the courtyard where he lives. "
"Assassinating Du Qi is as difficult as ascending to the heavens."
"Even if Du Qi comes out of his residence, there will be people following him to protect him. Especially with the army in the county. The moment there is any movement, the army will quickly gather and it will be disadvantageous to us. "
Babur's eyes were sharp as he said, "If we don't make a move now, we will easily miss the opportunity. Especially since Zhang Zhongjing and the others have already arranged for people to make a move. If they don't succeed, they will be alerting the enemy. If we don't make a move now, it will be very difficult to assassinate him later. "
In Babur's heart, he was still worried.
He had been in Fushan County all this time. He was just a spy and had never been used.
Previously, when Du Qi killed Nicholas Tu, Songyang County was without a leader. The County Governor of Jingyang County had the idea to use Babur and let him wait for an opportunity to disturb Songyang County and try to kill Du Qi.
As long as Du Qi was dead, Songyang County would naturally be more chaotic.
The situation would completely change.
This was the result that Jingyang County wanted.
Yan Pu stroked his beard. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Master, what do you think of Du Qi?"
Babur said, "What are you referring to?"
Yan Pu said, "In terms of ability."
Babur said, "Du Qi is not simple. In fact, he is very powerful. Du Qi has only been in Fushan County for a short time. First, he used Zhou Qing to kill Yan Three's soldiers. Then, he helped Meng Jiuyou to take the position and defeated the rebel Yan Three. He even took Yan Three under his command.
"In particular, Du Qi's strength is not weak."
"Nicholas Tu led an army of more than 10,000 soldiers. Nicholas Tu is also very powerful. Moreover, everyone in the surrounding counties knows that Nicholas Tu is ambitious and wants to unite the entire Songyang County.
"But Nicholas Tu died in Du Qi's hands.
"Then, Yongye County was also annexed."
Babur's slightly cloudy eyes revealed a cold expression as he said, "Such a person is definitely not an ordinary person. In fact, he is very powerful. Otherwise, how could he have built such a huge foundation in such a short time? "
Yan Pu nodded and said, "Master's analysis is very correct, but in my opinion, it is still not completely correct."
Babur said, "What do you mean?"
Yan Pu said, "Du Qi is not that simple. Not only is he good at war, but he also has capable people under his command. Moreover, he is as cunning as a fox and extremely smart. Think about it. Would such a person not think that someone might ambush him after he leaves Yongye County? "
Babur raised his eyebrows, a look of astonishment appearing on his face.
It seemed to be true.
Du Qi had always been cunning.
Ever since Du Qi had entered Fu Shan County, every step he took had been impressive. Every step he took had been firm. Under such circumstances, it would not be easy to plot against Du Qi.
Babur asked, "Mr. Yan, what do you plan to do?"
Yan Pu said, "Actually, it is very simple. We just have to be steady. For now, let's ignore the people who want to ambush Du Qi. I think that the news of Du Qi leaving this time is very likely to be intentional. It is a bait.
"The other party wants to bait, so they did it on purpose. If Zhang Zhongjing and the others go to assassinate him, they will be jumping into the trap. We will also take people out and lie in ambush. For now, we will wait. "
"After Zhang Zhongjing's assassination is over, we will come to kill Du Qi."
Yan Pu said, "Only then can we be absolutely sure and not make any mistakes. Moreover, taking a step back, this is also a way to protect ourselves and not put ourselves in a difficult situation. "
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
A bright smile appeared on Babur's face.
He agreed with Yan Pu's analysis.
At the moment, this was the most suitable and reliable arrangement to ensure that they would not be in a difficult situation.
Because after the assassination attempt by Zhang Zhongjing and the others, Du Qi's side would definitely not be so vigilant. When the time came to assassinate him, it would not be so dangerous.
Even if they failed, they could retreat safely.
Babur said, "Mr. Yan, go and make the arrangements immediately. Send our people out and lie in ambush. And this time, you will personally lead the operation. I will wait for your good news at home. "
"Yes!"
Yan Pu bowed and agreed.
