That night, Yang Ji, who had an anxious expression, was hesitating back and forth in his study.
Zhao Cihao, who was sitting at the side, also had a conflicted expression.
"Lord Zhao, what should we do now? His Highness the King of Chu came to Luo Yi's tent as a hostage, and the imperial court's army has already left. If Luo Yi finds out about our actions, how can we live?”
Yang Ji looked at Zhao Cihao and said with some dissatisfaction.
"General Yang, don't panic. This matter needs to be discussed at length. Only we know about the conspiracy. I think Luo Yi won't find out.”
Zhao Cihao pretended to be indifferent, but the worry in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Ai, that Luo Yi rebelled and actually dragged us into it. The Great Tang has countless valiant generals under its command, so how can he be a match for him?”
Yang Ji said with a sigh. Just as he was about to speak again, a knock sounded outside the door.
"Master, there is someone outside the door who wishes to see you.”
At this time, Yang Ji was worrying about his life, how could he care about meeting guests.
Moreover, Zhao Cihao was still in his house. If he was discovered by others, his secret plot would definitely be exposed.
"If you don't want to see me, just say that I'm already resting.”
Yang Ji said impatiently to the butler outside the door.
"Old Master, that person presented something and said that Old Master would understand once he saw it.”
The butler outside the door continued to speak to Yang Ji.
"Oh?"
Yang Ji and Zhao Cihao looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
"Show me that thing.”
With doubts, Yang Ji opened the door and took a jade pendant from the butler.
There was a dragon engraved on the jade pendant, and the word Chu was engraved on the back of the jade pendant.
After seeing the jade pendant clearly, Yang Ji's eyes were filled with horror. He asked the butler to wait outside the door and hurriedly rushed into the room.
"Lord Zhao, look at this."
Zhao Cihao saw Yang Ji's hurried and shocked appearance and took the jade pendant with some doubt.
After seeing it clearly, although his expression was a little surprised, he was much more indifferent than Yang Ji.
"Lord Zhao, do you think we should meet or not? If it's really that person…"
"See him first. See him alone and see why he's looking for you.”
Zhao Cihao then hid behind the screen.
Yang Ji instructed the butler to bring the person over. After a while, the butler brought a hooded person over.
The man walked into the study and saw Yang Ji close the door. He took off his hood and revealed his face. He looked at Yang Ji with a smile and said,"General Yang, do you still recognize me?”
Yang Ji took a closer look and found it somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"King Chu, guard, my surname is Yue.”
Seeing Yang Ji's puzzled face, Yue Fei hurriedly reminded.
"It's you. Didn't you go back to Chang 'an to report?”
Hearing the reminder, Yang Ji suddenly understood. Wasn't this the guard that the King of Chu had asked the Emperor to send a message today?
It was Yue Fei. When Li Kuan heard the name Yang Ji during the day, he did not bring Yue Fei with him. After all, Luo Yi would definitely send someone to monitor him after he came to Youzhou.
If Yue Fei also followed Li Kuan, it was basically impossible to see Yang Ji quietly in Luo Yi's territory.
Yue Fei followed the returning team and returned to Youzhou halfway in order to see Yang Ji and carry out Li Kuan's plan.
"May I know why Mr. Yue is looking for me?”
After confirming Yue Fei's identity, Yang Ji asked calmly.
"This Yue is here on the orders of His Highness King Chu to save General Yang's life. Of course, there was also Zhao Cihao, Lord Zhao.”
Yue Fei glanced at the screen as he spoke.
With Yue Fei's martial arts skills, he had long noticed that there was another person behind the screen. It was probably Zhao Cihao, the person in Youzhou that His Highness had mentioned.
Of course, if he guessed wrong, for the sake of His Highness 'plan, he could only make the person behind the screen suffer.
When Yue Fei finished speaking, Yang Ji and Zhao Cihao, who was behind the screen, had faces full of fear.
Looking at Yue Fei's meaning, he already knew about their conspiracy.
Fortunately, he was a subordinate of King Chu, and it seemed that he was here to save them. Thinking of this, Yang Ji and the other man heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhao Cihao also walked out from behind the screen.
"I think Mr. Yue already knows what we've done. I wonder if Mr. Yue has any good ideas?”
Zhao Cihao asked Yue Fei.
"Strike first." Yue Fei replied.
"The two of you might not know, but according to the information we received, Luo Yi has already noticed something. I believe that it won't be long before he finds out about the two of you.”
Yue Fei continued to explain as if he could see the confusion in the two of them.
"Instead of waiting for death, it's better to kill Luo Yi first and make this great contribution.”
Hearing Yue Fei's words, some fear and intention appeared on Yang Ji's face.
If Luo Yi really found out something, his life would be in danger. It was better to kill Luo Yi first.
Thinking of this, a ferocious expression surfaced on Yang Ji's face.
"Then I wonder what plans Mr. Yue or His Highness have?”
Unlike Yang Ji, Zhao Cihao was much more cautious and calm as a civil official.
"Tomorrow, Luo Yi will invite His Highness King Chu to a banquet. At that time, most of his generals will definitely attend. After all, this is a good opportunity to show off his strength to His Highness King Chu.”
"By then, General Yang will be able to gather a large army to attack Youzhou City.”
Yue Fei told them about Li Kuan's plan.
"Luo Yi has an army of more than a hundred thousand soldiers. How can our soldiers be his match?”
Zhao Cihao told Yue Fei the doubts in his heart.
"The two of you were coerced by Luo Yi into rebelling. I believe that there are many people in the army like the two of you. When the time comes, General Yang will raise the banner of the Imperial Court and there will definitely be many people who will respond.”
"When the time comes, we only need to kill Luo Yi's loyal followers, then Luo Yi will be a turtle in a jar.”
Yue Fei explained calmly.
"Then what about His Highness 'safety?"
Before Zhao Cihao could finish, he was interrupted by Yue Fei.
"Your Majesty has someone to protect you. We just need to do our job well. The sooner we conquer Youzhou City, the safer Your Majesty will be.”
Although Yue Fei said so, he was even more worried.
I hope Zai Xing can protect His Highness well.
Yue Fei thought to himself.
"In that case, let's make our own preparations. We'll attack Youzhou City at Luo Yi's banquet tomorrow.”
Seeing that Yue Fei had already planned it out, Yang Ji duo did not say anything more.
The three of them discussed some more details and then went to make their preparations.
