My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 240 Spreading rumors and waiting for others

It wasn't until half a stick of incense had passed after the man left that Pei Zifeng and the other three came down from the tree. They were very curious about this group of unfamiliar faces. Yue Sheng asked as soon as he landed.

"General, how about I follow you?"

"It's half a stick of incense, where are you going to find it? Besides, these people come here well prepared. Maybe they will change their faces after entering. Instead of hiding around looking for someone, it's better to stay here and guard the person just now." Didn’t you say that we will gather here in ten days and we will catch them all in one fell swoop?”

Maybe we can find out some of the forces behind it. Thinking of this, Yue Sheng was very excited. And they might not have returned to the army for a long time, so they should go according to the original plan. So soon, the three of them They all sneaked into the city, and then returned to the mansion of General Fancheng, where Pei Zimiao had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw the three of them returning, he finally let go of his worries and asked immediately.

"How about it? Is there any chance of internal rebellion?"

Pei Ziyao shook his head and said with a cold snort.

"All the power of the entire Southern Tang Dynasty is concentrated on these dozen cities in the border confrontation. The advantage is that as long as we attack here, the queen will be in our pocket. The disadvantage is that the power is too concentrated, so we can't find anything. A powerful character comes to cooperate with us internally and externally.”

Pei Zimiao was not surprised when he heard such a conclusion.

"From this point of view, let's attack head-on. We have been deployed for so many years, why don't we just wait for this opportunity? Take advantage of his illness and kill him! It is only natural!"

The opportunity Pei Zimiao mentioned was that there was some trouble in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The eldest prince and the third prince were fighting among themselves, and both sides used deadly moves. One cut off his brother's descendants, and the other poisoned the other's entire family. Therefore, in the current situation of the Southern Tang Dynasty, both sides are protecting themselves and persecuting the other.

The Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty also had a severe headache, as if he had broken off his arms.

Although the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty kept this news tightly, some rumors still leaked out. So when Pei Zimiao heard the news, he felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But Pei Zisu didn't see it that way.

During the days of fighting with Nan Tang, he still knew the people of the royal family very well. Although there were conflicts between the eldest prince and the third prince, no one dared to really kill the other.

Firstly, the forces of both sides were balanced, and they were not completely sure that one hit would hit them. Secondly, because the foreign enemies were strong, they were also afraid that they would get into trouble and allow the people of Da Sui to take advantage of the loophole.

Although they were preparing to attack Southern Tang, they did not spread much news to the outside world.

There was a mixture of truth and falsehood, so Pei Zifeng felt that there was such a big party dispute in the Southern Tang Dynasty at this time, and it actually had the meaning of luring the enemy deeper, so he said.

"Don't worry, the soldiers are training as usual. Today we met a group of people outside the city. They seem to be very good at gathering information. If they are spies sent by the Southern Tang Dynasty, they might be able to help us a lot! So wait a moment Look, in the past few days, some of you have spread some news and said that I am sick. "

Sick?

A war is imminent, and the commander in charge of the entire army is ill?

Why is this news so false?

But such extremely fake news is most likely to deceive spies who are suspicious by nature and like to chase clues. What Pei Zisu wants is their attitude of being suspicious but not wanting to miss this opportunity.

The other party threw a smoke bomb, and he responded in the same way. As for secretly, he gave some instructions to Pei Ziyao alone. Her eyes lit up, and then she left. When she left, neither Pei Ziyao nor Yue Sheng knew what secret order she had received. !

In the following days, Fancheng remained calm and peaceful.

The guards in the city were as usual, and there was no difference. It was just that some medical clinics in the city had become a little difficult to make appointments. The doctors who usually consulted either had something to do at home or went back to their hometown to visit relatives. Suddenly there were fewer people.

And those people happened to be famous doctors, so the news fell into the ears of those spies who came to investigate, and there seemed to be another explanation.

The ten-day period passed quickly.

On the day when the big fish was caught, from the day after Pei Zifeng and others returned to Fancheng, many military spies were squatting in the place where they were hiding.

They all have the same skills, so covering up their whereabouts is no problem.

Since the eighth and ninth days, people have quietly returned one after another, but they did not stay for a long time, but came and left for a while, as if they were testing.

Until the evening of the tenth day, when the group came to this place on the pretext of leaving the city, everyone looked a little cautious.

The leader did not take off the human skin mask, but asked a question.

"How is the investigation going? Is Pei Zichen really ill?"

"I couldn't find any specific information, so I could only make inferences. My subordinates visited the hometowns of several doctors who disappeared in the medical clinic, but could not find any trace of them."

"Not only that, but Vice General Tang's mansion in Fancheng has not let its servants out for a few days. I heard that a large number of dishes were ordered half a month ago, and then it has been closed until now."

Logically speaking, it is normal to stock up on goods during the New Year holiday.

But what’s unusual is that stocking up should be done before the year, not after!

The door is tightly closed and the servants are not allowed to go out privately, just because they don't want to be leaked. Such a strategy will tell you that there is something wrong in the house.

Everyone supported the news that "Pei Zicheng was ill" from different places. The leader also frowned and listened. In his opinion, Pei Zicun was made of steel, how could he be ill?

Even if he is sick, he is not so cautious and deliberately conceals it.

As if afraid that outsiders would know!

So he had reason to suspect that the news was false and was released deliberately, but what was Pei Zichen's intention? Could it be that he had seen through Southern Tang's plan?

Thinking of this, he was suspicious and had not yet decided whether to send the news back. As a result, he found that he was surrounded. He was prepared not to go back before coming, but he did not expect that he would be here. Being served from a pot.

Facing the people around him who were confronting him, the other party immediately understood that this was a trap. As a result, before he could react further, he was surrounded by more than a hundred people.

Those people could tell at a glance that they were elite soldiers and could not be beaten. The only way to avoid revealing the secret was to die.

But these people had no such plan. Instead, they surrounded their leader, as if they could kill me but not the leader. Seeing this, Yue Sheng understood that this leader might still be a fat sheep, so he waved his hand. He said calmly.

"Catch them alive."
