At this moment, on the official road from the capital to the Country of Liang.
A man was riding on a fast horse, rushing forward frantically.
"Giddyup!"
"Giddyup!"
This person was the secret messenger sent by Han Anguo.
At this moment, Han Anguo still wanted his subordinates to pass the secret letter to the King of Liang as soon as possible so that he could make preparations and enter the palace ahead of time.
But who would have thought…
Suddenly, several sharp sounds of air being torn apart could be heard.
"Who are you?"
By the time the secret messenger reacted, it was already too late.
Several arrows landed on his body.
"Plop!"
The colt let out a wail and fell to the ground with the secret messenger.
After a while, more than ten men in night suits surrounded them.
"You…Who are you?"
Looking at the men in black surrounding him, the secret messenger was shocked. He covered his wound and retreated while saying.
"I…I'm a subordinate of Secretary Han!”
The black-clothed man did not speak, but felt around his body for a while.
After a while, one of the men in black found a wooden box on him.
"Found it!"
"Kill him!"
A hoarse voice echoed in the surroundings.
" No…No, you can't kill…" Before the secret messenger could finish his words, the man in black raised his knife and killed him.
"You guys clean up the scene, I'll go find Lord Chao! Remember, block all letters that are not sent from the capital!”
"Yes, sir!"
An assassination began silently in the night and ended silently.
A moment later, the bloodstains and corpses in the surroundings were all cleaned up.
Even if the dean of the supreme court came here, he could barely find anything in a short period.
The man in black disappeared into the darkness again.
These men in black were none other than the Black Armored Army that Chao Cuo had placed on the capital's roads!
Holding the secret letter, the man in black rode back to Chao Cuo's residence.
"Lord Chao, this is an urgent message from Han Anguo to Liang!”
"Alright, you may leave." Taking the wooden box, Chao Cuo waved his hand to dismiss the other party.
He opened the wooden box and took out the jade slip inside.
Chao Cuo quickly browsed through it.
Your Majesty. Recently, there has been a sudden change in the imperial court…The Crown Prince has great talent! He had to be on guard!
This lowly official has already spoken to the Eldest Princess and the Empress Dowager…to eradicate those political enemies who have their eyes on the King! In order to fulfill the ambition of the king…
After reading the content, Chao Cuo sneered.
"No wonder His Majesty secretly warned me to be careful of Han Anguo!”
"This Han Anguo really lives up to his reputation! With him around, the King of Liang would always be a huge threat!”
"If we don't get rid of this person, it will be a huge obstacle for Your Majesty to ascend the throne!”
Chao Cuo immediately packed up and rushed to Weiyang Palace overnight.
When he arrived at the Xuanshi Hall, he saw that there was still candlelight.
Chao Cuo stepped forward and pulled Chun Tuo to the side, asking in a low voice,"Eunuch Chun, His Majesty is still awake?"
"Lord Chao, His Majesty has been busy checking the taxes and offerings of the various vassal states. He has only just taken a nap.”
Chao Cuo was shocked and confirmed,"Your Majesty has been busy all this time?"
"Yes."
"Phew…I, Chao Cuo, am fortunate to be able to assist such a wise ruler!”
Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Chao Cuo hesitated. Should he wait until tomorrow?
Just as he was hesitating, Liu Che's voice rang out in the room.
"Is that Chao Cuo outside?"
"Your Majesty, it is Lord Chao."
"Summon him in!"
Pushing open the door and entering, Chao Cuo saw Liu Che's tired expression and said with a pained heart,"Your Majesty, the late emperor has just passed away. Your Majesty, you have to take care of your health!”
"No worries!" Liu Che waved his hand and said,"Why are you meeting me so late at night?"”
Chao Cuo hurriedly took out the wooden box and handed it over.
"Your Majesty, you're really good at predicting things!”
"This lowly subject has followed your instructions and placed men in all the official roads of the capital!”
"As expected, it's an urgent message from Shi Nan 'an to Liang!”
Hearing this, Liu Che immediately perked up.
Opening the wooden box, Liu Che took out the urgent document.
After taking a closer look, Liu Che's lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile hung on his face.
Han Anguo's strategy was indeed extraordinary!
"Your Majesty, this humble subject dares to speak.”
"It's fine. Go ahead."
"Your Majesty, this humble subject believes that Han Anguo wants to cause chaos in our Darkhan Dynasty, and his intentions deserve to be punished! If this person is not eliminated, he will definitely become a huge problem for His Majesty! This humble subject requests…to eradicate the weeds and roots!"
"Han Anguo will naturally be killed! However, now is not the time!"
"Your Majesty, you mean…"
Liu Che stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.
For a moment, a gust of cold wind blew in, making Chao Cuo shiver.
Liu Che turned to Chao Cuo and said,"Zhen opened the window and let the cold wind in. Does Doctor Chao feel much more awake?”
"Your humble servant…" Chao Cuo's expression suddenly changed as he said,"I'm not sure.""Your Majesty, do you mean to invite me into the trap?”
"Hahaha! The one who knows me is Chao Cuo!" Liu Che laughed loudly and waved his sleeves, giving off an imposing aura.
"Not only will I allow Han Anguo to return to the Liang Country!”
"And force him to bring the King of Liang to the capital to abdicate!”
"If Han Anguo dies, where would the King of Liang have the courage to enter the palace?”
"If the King of Liang doesn't come, how can I eliminate him?”
"The King of Liang's threat is only temporary! I want to let all the dukes in the world see that this is the outcome of going against me!”
"Your Majesty!" Chao Cuo asked doubtfully. Why are you so sure that Han Anguo will bring the King of Liang to the capital?”
Liu Che smiled mysteriously, as if he had victory in his hands."You will know tomorrow."
