Chapter 16: The Uninvited Guest & Murder

Dimahi Province in the Eastern Theater of Operations, the base camp of the current garrison of the Crane in the Clouds

The province has a long history, once served as the old capital of Dameng, with strong walls and complete facilities.

After the crane in the clouds occupied, the palace of the Dameng king was renovated, as their own place of residence, and the palace of the court to see the subordinates was named "the palace of the Son of Heaven", although the crane in the clouds has not yet called the king, but its wolf ambition is obvious.

"Governor. A general dressed in armor knelt down on one knee in front of the crane in the clouds and saluted. "Governor, there's a letter from over there. ”

Yun Zhonghe was sitting on the dragon chair in the palace at this time, reading the report submitted by his subordinates, and when he saw that the general was holding a book in his hand, he waved his hand and sent everyone away, and said to him coldly, "Take it." ”

The general respectfully presented the book, Yunzhonghe opened it and read it, laughed while reading, and threw the booklet away after reading it, showing a cunning look on his face.

"Governor, what do you say over there?" asked the general, with sincere trepidation.

Yun Zhonghe is actually only thirty, and he is still a young man who has just enlightened his mind, but he likes to pretend to be a posture and often puts on a proud and deep appearance, but in fact, his subordinates who are familiar with him know that he has an impulsive personality, is so happy, and he can't hide things, and he is not the mature qi seen on the surface at all.

"Murong Yongxi, go gather people and set off tonight. The crane in the clouds ordered.

"Yes. After hesitating for a moment, the general named Murong Yongci still dared to ask, "I don't know if the governor wants to ......."

"It was said that King Gong Yeshu led 100,000 central troops to the battlefield, and asked me to find a place to ambush Yeshu on the way, and I must kill Yeshu. ”

"But it's all the territory of the imperial court, how can we get by, and how can we talk about ambushes?"

"Have you forgotten? We are attacking southward, but one province is unscathed. Yun Zhonghe narrowed his eyes, "Zhang Wei, the governor of Kuwait Province, sent us a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and asked us not to attack Kuwait, but to divert to other provinces. Now...... It's time to meet Zhang Wei and talk to him about using Kuwait. ”

Saying that, Yun Zhonghe sneered, "Yongxi, let Aligon go and tell Zhang Wei that he wants to prepare a banquet, and I will go to Texas, the provincial capital of Kuwait, tomorrow to catch up with him." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey. ”

......

The Governor's Mansion in Texas, the capital of Kuwait

"Oh no, no, Governor. ”

"What's the panic!" Zhang Wei was pacing around the room, worried about Yun Zhonghe's rebellion and whether his private agreement with Yun Zhonghe would be found out, when he was upset, suddenly a guard shouted loudly, and he was enraged.

"Please forgive me. The guard knelt down in fear and pleaded guilty to Zhang Wei, "My lord, Lord Aligon is here." ”

"Who!" Zhang Weicha was frightened when he heard the guard's words, and the military newspaper in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

"That's it...... The rebel Arigon, he said that if he brought the crane in the clouds, he asked the lord to set up a feast, and the crane in the clouds will be tomorrow...... Want...... ......" The guards couldn't speak clearly.

"What do you want!" Zhang Wei almost went crazy.

The guards were so frightened that they kowtowed repeatedly, "I want to come to the Governor's Mansion to catch up with my lord." ”

"What is he going to do!" Zhang Wei said angrily.

"Yo~ Lord Zhang, we are not welcome to our adults~" Arigon entered the room at some point, as soon as Zhang Wei saw Arigon, he immediately knelt on the ground, and said to Arigon with a smile on his face, "How come, Lord Arigon, I heard it wrong, Lord Yun is coming, Zhang Wei welcomes it very much." The arrival of Lord Yun really made the contemptible mansion and the contemptible people shine. ”

"Heh, better so. Aligon sat down very casually, without looking at Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei smiled flatteringly, gave the kneeling guard a look, and motioned for him to go get some tea. Aligon glanced at Zhang Wei, and his tone was very arrogant, "Master Zhang, sit down." ”

"Yes, sir. Zhang Wei wiped his sweat and got up from the ground in embarrassment.

"Lord Zhang has heard that King Gong is leading a large army from Kyoto to the Eastern War Zone. ”

Xia Guan heard a little. ”

"We don't know about King Gong's itinerary, this is ...... There has to be Lord Lao Zhang. Aligon's words were profound.

"Yes, yes, Xia Guan understands. Zhang Wei said resignedly.

At this time, the guards brought the tea, and Arigon glanced at the tea, did not move, and got up and left the governor's palace. Watching Aligon leave, Zhang Wei's hanging heart fell, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.

......

"Governor, Lord Arigon has returned. The guards reported.

"Let him in. ”

"Ministers Aligon, see Lord Governor. Aligon knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"How's it going?" asked Yun Zhonghe lazily as he put down the report.

"It's done, please rest assured. ”

"Well, I've always been relieved of what you do. Yun Zhonghe nodded with satisfaction, "You will stay in Di Mahi to control the overall situation when I am not there." ”

"Governor Xie's trust will not fail in his mission. Arigon was delighted.

"Go down and rest. Yun Zhonghe waved his hand, raised his eyes and saw Murong Yongci walking over, and his heart was full of doubts.

"See Governor-General. Murong Yongci hurriedly bowed, "I just got the news that Zhang Wei is dead." ”

"How come!" said Arigon, "he was fine when I went yesterday, how can I say that he is dead?"

"What's going on?" the Crane in the clouds' tone also became serious.

"Zhang Wei was assassinated last night, and when the palace maid pushed the door in the morning, she found that the person was dead. Murong Yongqi hastily explained.

"Assassination, the Governor's Mansion is heavily defended, how did the Assassins bypass the guards and carry out the assassination!"

"The subordinates don't know, they have already asked people to go to Kuwait to see. ”

"That's it, the operation is canceled first. Yun Zhonghe said helplessly, "Double the number of soldiers guarding the guard, I don't want to follow in Zhang Wei's footsteps." ”

"Yes, please rest assured. Murong Yong made a gesture.

"Wait a minute, I suspect that my conversation with Zhang Wei yesterday is very likely to be overheard, otherwise how could Zhang Wei have died last night. Aligon spoke suddenly.

"Assassinating in the territory of the imperial court can also avoid the guards...... It can only be ......" Murong Yongci seemed to understand something, and looked at the crane in the clouds with wide eyes. Yun Zhonghe's face was solemn, and he nodded helplessly, "It's the Emperor's Iron Army, they already know our plan." ”

"What should I do, my lord?" asked Aligon.

"What else can I do!" I wrote back to the other side, saying that the wind was tight, and there was no way to do it again. The crane in the clouds said hatefully.

......

"Your Majesty, Shang Ye is back. Fan Bozhong said to Emperor Zhaoning, who was admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden.

"Let him come. ”

Shang Ye was dressed in a night robe and covered his face with a mask until he approached Emperor Zhaoning's side and took off the mask, revealing a handsome face. - He is only an eighteen-year-old young man, but his martial arts are among the best in the territory of Jiuchen, if you talk about the grade, it should be the ninth grade master level, and Yelan's master, Yinzhu Jun Zhu Keran is a tenth-grade grandmaster level.

"The ministers have seen Your Majesty. Shang Ye clasped his fists and saluted, "I have killed the man, and the head was thrown into the dung pit, leaving no trace." ”

"It's clean. Emperor Zhaoning bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, Nangong has already told you the news, why did you send Shang Ye to kill people today?" Fan Bozhong was a little puzzled.

In fact, as early as the news of the fall of the east, Emperor Zhaoning secretly sent Nangong Ying to the east to investigate the situation, Nangong Ying inadvertently discovered Zhang Wei and Yunzhonghe's correspondence and secret agreement during the investigation, and sent someone to report to Emperor Zhaoning, but Emperor Zhaoning has not moved, until the day and night before Shu led the army to the expedition.

After he left, Emperor Zhaoning sent someone to order Shangye, who was stationed near the battlefield, to kill Zhang Wei quietly if he found that Yunzhonghe had any more dealings with Zhang Wei.

"Killing, just a warning, telling him not to be too arrogant. Milky kid. Emperor Zhaoning looked disdainful.

"By the way, Fan Bozhong, you go to the Ministry of Officials now, release Yelan with my will, and tell him to go back to the Guangwang Mansion to rest, and in three days, I want him to lead the Abdominal Heart Department and the reserve to the front line to reinforce Yeshu. Emperor Zhaoning ordered Fan Bozhong.

"Yes, Your Majesty. After a pause, he said, "It's just that King Gong was sent away just now, and now the Central Army has not yet arrived in the war zone, and King Guang has been sent to lead troops to reinforce, which is a little strange, but I am afraid that the ministers below will start to speculate again." ”

"Let them guess that I am the emperor, and who dares to disobey my will. Emperor Zhaoning's eyes showed a hint of coldness, Fan Bozhong didn't dare to say more, but he retreated.

"Shangye, this trip is fortunate, I can't help but be suspicious, you have stayed in Kyoto recently. Emperor Zhaoning turned around and said to Shang Ye again.

"Commandment. Shang Ye replied with a cold gaze.
