The best ring

Chen Yufei can indeed help, and he is very willing to help.

Although Chen Yufei was dismissed from the position of the chief general of Shanling Pass by Wu Fan, he has been operating here for many years, and he still has direct lineage and connections, so it is easy for him to get some information.

Not long after Wu Fan was helped down the city wall by Pei Yu's two guards, Chen Yufei had already learned the news. Then, he told the guards of Cai Mansion the news and asked them to ambush Wu Fan and others halfway.

Wu Fan himself was injured, and there were only two soldiers around him. Chen Yufei didn't think there would be any surprises in this ambush. In his heart, when the guards of Cai Mansion went to ambush, Wu Fan's fate was already doomed.

There would be no other result except being killed.

Without Wu Fan's support, Pei Yu could not fight him at all, not to mention that he had Cai Cheng, the Minister of War, behind him.

Chen Yufei was very happy when he thought that he would soon regain power.

"Sir, sir, something big has happened!"

Just as Chen Yufei was drinking his wine, his former subordinates ran in one after another. Apparently, they had also fled from the city wall like him.

"Why are you all so flustered? What did I teach you before?" Chen Yufei once again took on the airs of the commander of Shanling Pass and criticized his subordinates: "What happened that made you lose your composure like this?"

"Sir, that Wu Fan was just assassinated!"

"Yes, on the way back, there were more than a dozen assassins."

The subordinates did not take Chen Yufei's criticism to heart, and one by one they told the news they had heard.

Chen Yufei had connections and connections in the pass, and his subordinates who had followed him for many years naturally had the same thing. Therefore, when the news of Wu Fan's assassination just came out, they all learned the news, and then they all rushed to Chen Yufei's residence.

Pei Yu was now so exhausted by Wu Fan's assassination and the fierce attack of the Black Water Kingdom outside the city that he had no energy to look at them.

Chen Yufei listened to his men talking about the news they heard while drinking slowly, with a calm expression on his face and a slight smile.

"Sir, you don't seem surprised to hear this news?" Finally, someone noticed Chen Yufei's abnormal behavior and asked in confusion.

Wu Fan dismissed their positions as soon as he came. It can be said that, including Chen Yufei, they all hated Wu Fan very much. When they learned that Wu Fan was assassinated, everyone was very happy. In their opinion, Chen Yufei should be as happy as them when he heard the news.

However, Chen Yufei's emotions did not fluctuate too much, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, which was obviously a bit unreasonable.

"What's so surprising? It's normal for Wu Fan to be secretly assassinated because he is arrogant and reckless." Chen Yufei said lightly.

This...

Chen Yufei's old subordinates looked at each other, and one of them asked Chen Yufei boldly: "Sir, the assassination of Wu Fan has nothing to do with you..."

"It has nothing to do with me!" Chen Yufei said firmly.

Chen Yufei knew what this person was going to say, but he denied it first.

Not to mention that the assassin of Wu Fan was originally Cai Cheng's people, even if it was Chen Yufei who sent someone to assassinate Wu Fan, he would not admit it. Like Cai Cheng, although Chen Yufei wanted to kill Wu Fan, he also didn't want people to know that Wu Fan's death had anything to do with him. After all, Wu Fan is now in the favor of the emperor, and His Majesty obviously favors him. Wu Fan is also the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If he was assassinated, His Majesty would be furious. If he knew who did it and who was related to him, he would definitely not let him off easily.

So, Chen Yufei didn't want this matter to be related to himself. Before, he only told the people sent by Cai Cheng about Wu Fan's whereabouts. Now in front of his old subordinates, he would not admit it either.

Chen Yufei's old subordinates looked at each other again, but they didn't really believe what Chen Yufei said. They had followed Chen Yufei for many years and knew that Chen Yufei was a person who would never give up. Wu Fan treated Chen Yufei like that, and Chen Yufei couldn't be angry. With his character, it was very likely that he would retaliate and assassinate. In addition, Chen Yufei's calm attitude just now made everyone suspicious.

However, although everyone was suspicious, they didn't say it out loud. Since Chen Yufei was unwilling to admit it, he must have his considerations. If they kept asking, they might anger Chen Yufei.

"By the way, how is Wu Fan? Is he dead?" Chen Yufei asked.

Chen Yufei was not surprised that Wu Fan was stabbed. He was just more concerned about whether Wu Fan was killed by those people in Cai's mansion. Logically speaking, Wu Fan would not have a chance to survive under the ambush and assassination of those people, but Chen Yufei was still worried without seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it with his own ears.

"No."

"No?!" Chen Yufei was shocked.

Chen Yufei was not surprised by the news that Wu Fan was stabbed, but he was really shocked by the news that Wu Fan was not stabbed to death, because this was beyond his expectations.

"I heard that General Mu from the Kobe Camp arrived in time and rescued Wu Fan, and now he has been sent back to his residence." One of the generals said.

"We are not very clear about the specific situation. Mu Han and Pei Yu have now blocked Wu Fan's residence and do not allow anyone to approach. We don't know what Wu Fan's situation is."

"However, I heard that Wu Fan was seriously injured and is in danger now. He may die at any time."

Several old subordinates talked about the news they heard.

The smile on Chen Yufei's face disappeared, and his face turned gloomy.

Wu Fan was not dead!

This was something he had not expected. The guards of Cai Mansion were numerous and powerful, and they ambushed Wu Fan on his way back in advance. There were only three people on Wu Fan's side, and Wu Fan himself was injured. There was no reason for him to escape.

But looking at the appearance of his subordinates, they did not seem to be lying. What happened before? How did Wu Fan guarantee his life?

"Did you find anything at the scene? Were there any assassins captured alive?" Chen Yufei asked.

"It is said that there were more than a dozen assassins' bodies on the ground, and Pei Yu's two personal soldiers also died at the scene. There were no others. The assassins were all dead, and no one was caught alive."

Chen Yufei nodded, and he breathed a sigh of relief. No one was captured, so his secret information about Wu Fan's whereabouts would not be exposed, and he would not be in any danger.

However, Wu Fan didn't die, which was not a good thing after all. Neither he nor Cai Cheng could accept this result.

"Go and find out what happened before the scene, and see how serious Wu Fan's injuries are. I don't want your guesses, I want accurate information, understand?" Chen Yufei ordered several of his old subordinates with a gloomy face.

"Yes, sir." Everyone responded in unison. This task was a bit difficult, but it was not completely impossible. Since Chen Yufei had said so, they had to investigate it clearly.
