Chapter 252: Assassination

Ling Bing glanced at Ying'er after hearing this, pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't think that she would stay in this harem for the rest of her life, but if Guo Ping liked those people of unknown origin, then she would be able to cater to his appetite.

That way, she can start preparing her own plans.

Ling Bing put down the teacup in his hand, got up and hurriedly walked out, "Ying'er, let's go see the new pigeons sent by the emperor." ”

Ying'er put down the work in her hand and went out with Ling Bing, Ling Bing likes white pigeons, likes to raise some small animals, Guo Ping specially found some high-quality pigeons for her to raise in her palace. Let her have fun when she's usually fine. It's just that no one knows that Ling Bing is a master pigeon trainer, not only for pigeons, but also for other animals.

Ling Bing looked at these pigeons with satisfaction, and soon they would become her tools, transmitting messages for her in the palace without being suspected by anyone.

Here, Xiao Wanyao went back to the palace and went directly to see Guo Ping, with a displeased face, Guo Ping looked at her dotingly, put down the pen in his hand, "What's the queen, who made you unhappy?" ”

Xiao Wanyao looked at Guo Ping and said in a coquettish tone, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't let you kill the Mandate of Heaven, because she didn't want anyone to die for Rui'er, Rui'er is still young, and we have to accumulate virtue for him." ”

Guo Ping didn't know why Xiao Wanyao suddenly talked about this, nodded and sat down beside her, "That's right, didn't I also allow it?" If you don't kill the Mandate of Heaven, you will hand him over to the queen to dispose of. What's wrong? Why did you suddenly remember this? ”

Xiao Wanyao held her chest, breathing a little short, "The concubine had a nightmare last night, dreaming that they came to hurt Rui'er again, and the concubine woke up from the dream and sweated in fear. The concubine is really worried that something will happen to Rui'er. ”

Guo Ping frowned distressedly, patted her shoulder and said, "Wan Yao, what happened last time won't happen again." I assure you that I have sent the Praetorian Guard to protect the Xiyun Palace. ”

"But ......" Xiao Wanyao frowned, looking extremely nervous, "Your Majesty, the Mandate of Heaven is the person of the Famous Monarch, and the Mandate of Heaven came to kill Rui'er for no reason, don't you suspect that the Famous Monarch is manipulating behind his back?" ”

At the mention of Mingjun, Guo Ping knew what Xiao Wanyao was here for this time, he got up and took a deep breath, and his tone sank, "Queen, I still need Mingjun and them to do things for me." Moreover, I have investigated the Mandate of Heaven, and what I did was not instructed by the king, but you thought too much. ”

Xiao Wanyao stared at Guo Ping's back, it seemed that Mingjun had really done a lot of things in front of Guo Ping. No wonder Guo Ping will not pursue the famous monarch.

She got up and walked behind Guo Ping, and said softly, "The concubine didn't want to interfere in the emperor's affairs, but she was a little sad about the things she dreamed about yesterday, so she came to talk to the emperor." If the emperor can trust the famous king, the concubines have no objections, and the concubines only hope that their children are safe. ”

After speaking, Xiao Wanyao turned to leave, her back looked a little lonely, and her steps were a little slow, Guo Ping stared at her back, and there was still a trace of reluctance in her heart, "I will summon Mingjun into the palace tomorrow, and the queen can bring the mandate of heaven and let the two of them confront each other in person." ”

Xiao Wanyao stopped, a faint smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, and turned to look at Guo Ping, but there was a trace of sorrow on her face, "Can the emperor let the concubine meet him in person?" The concubine wanted to see for herself what he would say when he met with the Mandate of Heaven. In this way, the concubines can feel at ease. ”

Guo Ping didn't think much about it, just nodded in order to dispel Xiao Wanyao's doubts. After that, Xiao Wanyao saluted and left. In fact, Guo Ping can't trust Mingjun now, but he still needs Mingjun, so he doesn't want to touch him for the time being.

The next day, Mingjun really appeared in Xiyun Palace, Mingjun thought that it was really the emperor who wanted to find him, but when he heard that he was going to Xiyun Palace, he knew that it was the queen. It's just that Xiao Wanyao didn't let him see his destiny, just said some innocuous things, and then let him leave.

After the famous monarch left the palace, he was stared at by people. Soon Xiao Wanyao clearly learned the whereabouts of Mingjun, and in the General's Mansion, Lei Luo found Cheng Jin, told him the information of Mingjun, and then gave him a pill.

"This is for you by the Queen! There are only two hours to spare, and after two hours, the queen will come to the general's palace, and then she will see the real talisman. After that, Lei Luo handed over the pre-made fake talisman to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin frowned, "Two hours? It's still dawning, you should know that thieves only act at night, and besides, Mingjun is not an ordinary person......"

Lei Luo was expressionless, and said coldly, "This is the queen's order, if you have any ideas, go and tell the queen." But she only gave me an antidote, you can do it yourself. With that, he turned and left.

Cheng Jin was about to jump up in anger, holding the medicine bowl tightly in his hand, gritting his teeth and saying, "Xiao Wanyao, you wait, it's best not to let me catch the opportunity." Otherwise I'll definitely make you look good. ”

When Xiao Wanyao appeared in the General's Mansion again in men's clothes, there was a victory smile on the corner of her mouth, and she saw Cheng Jin's charming and angry eyes from afar. However, she directly ignored the anger in his eyes, and only felt that it was too charming, "It seems that the task has been completed." What do I want? She stretched out her little hand and stared at Cheng Jin with a smile.

Cheng Jin snorted coldly, took out the talisman from his body and handed it to Xiao Wanyao, "The fake one has been put next to him." Didn't go out of any way, so what about my antidote? ”

Xiao Wanyao got the talisman and was about to go to Lei Luo, when she heard his words, she suddenly stopped and glanced back at him, "What?" ”

Cheng Jin stood up and glared at her angrily, "Xiao Wanyao, don't pretend to be stupid here, we have the conditions first, I will help you do this, and you will give me the antidote." ”

Xiao Wanyao turned her head to look ahead with an innocent face, "Oh......" She frowned as if she was trying to remember something, and said in a thoughtful manner, "Did I promise?" ”

"Of course, you want to pay the bill!" Cheng Jin shouted loudly.

Xiao Wanyao smiled, put the talisman on herself, and coughed lightly, "Okay, I did promise." But I regret it now. ”

"You ......" "Shhhhh......h So I'm a little reluctant for you to leave. How about you stay with me and serve me. ”

"You-Hugh-think" Cheng Jin stepped forward and wanted to snatch back the talisman, but suddenly felt that his body didn't need his strength at all. Looking at his soft appearance, Xiao Wanyao smiled again, "Now you know, why did I come after two hours?" Someone ...... coming."

A guard appeared in front of her, Xiao Wanyao stared at Cheng Jin, "Hold him in the dungeon, no one is allowed to see him without my orders." Oh yes, arrange a cosy place for him. With that, he turned and left.

Cheng Jin scolded angrily in the back, "Xiao Wanyao, you are too much. Be careful that I tell you everything. But he was already a little inarticulate by this time. She didn't look back and went straight to Relo.

After Xiao Wanyao finished from the hall, her face suddenly sank, "General Lei, I want to talk to you alone." ”

Lei Luo paused, and then asked the guards around him to leave. There were only two of them left in the room. Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath and said, "I know that General Lei has been loyal to the court for generations, and he will never betray the court, this betrayal is just forced to be helpless, the so-called loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, I understand that you give up the word loyalty for filial piety." ”

Lei Luo didn't understand what Xiao Wanyao meant by saying this at the moment, Xiao Wanyao had never said what she had done before as 'betrayal', "I don't know what the queen wants to say to her subordinates?" ”

Xiao Wanyao's eyes narrowed, "Hand over the talisman of the 100,000 army in your hand." ”

Lei Luo was stunned suddenly, as if he had misheard, and stared at Xiao Wanyao incredulously, "This ...... The meaning of the queen. ”

"Since you have already thought about exchanging the talisman of the 400,000 army for your family, what is the difference between handing over these 400,000 to the famous monarch and handing it over to the main palace?" Xiao Wanyao's face became more and more heavy.

Lei Luo seemed to realize something, "You...... You are the one who really wants those 400,000 soldiers. ”

Xiao Wanyao stared at him with a cold expression, did not speak, and acquiesced, "Queen, why are you doing this?" Do you want to ......"

"This palace doesn't think about anything else, it's just that if this palace has military power in its hands, it will make this palace feel more at ease here." She slowly got up from her chair and walked in front of Lei Luo, "Bengu didn't have such plans at first, but Mingjun did so and gave Bengu a chance." General Lei should know very well in his heart that Prime Minister Huo Cheng colluded with the ministers of the DPRK and China to abolish the queen because of Huo Yongdie's matter, do you know what will happen to the palace and the son of the palace after the abolition? ”

Lei Luo stood there stunned and didn't speak, Xiao Wanyao continued, "The palace is destroyed and sent into the cold palace, it doesn't matter, but the son of the palace is still young, and everyone in the harem is eyeing each other, how can they let Rui'er go, the palace is just for their own sake, this is the same as General Lei is willing to do anything for his family." ”

Lei Luo's gaze sank, and a feeling buried deep in his heart suddenly surged up, that feeling unusually familiar, as if he had already known in his heart that there would be such a result. But he still believed that Xiao Wanyao would help him and help Chu State. But she is Xiao Wanyao, how can it be so simple.

He sighed slightly and sneered, "I haven't seen my family yet, so how can I hand over those 100,000 talismans to you." ”

The corners of Xiao Wanyao's mouth rose slightly, and she clapped her hands gently, and someone outside had already brought in Lei Luo's chess piece Wang Die. When Wang Die saw Lei Luo, he threw himself into his arms all of a sudden, and Lei Luo was also shocked and didn't know what to do, and hugged his wife tightly, "What about the child?" What about the mother? ”

Wang Die cried, "My mother and children are still being held in that place, and I am the only one who has come out." I don't know what's going on. There are a lot of people imprisoned there, and many of the ministers' families ......"

Lei Luo stopped Wang Die's words, and looked up at Xiao Wanyao, "The talisman is in my study, and there is a secret compartment placed there, you have to make sure that my whole family leaves there safely." ”

Xiao Wanyao glanced at the guards on the side, the guards nodded and turned to go out, and soon found the secret grid from Lei Luo's study, got the 100,000 army talismans, and handed them over to Xiao Wanyao.

She took the 100,000 talisman and said to the guards, "Go down, all of you." I'll look for you again if there's something to do. ”

A few people turned around and left, those guards were not from the General's Mansion, it seemed that Xiao Wanyao had been prepared early in the morning, and the number of people at her disposal far exceeded Lei Luo's estimate.

Chapter 253: Sophistry

"You got what you wanted, and you have to do what you promised." Lei Luo stared at Xiao Wanyao and said.

Xiao Wanyao nodded, "Come on, take Mrs. Lei down and settle down." As soon as the words fell, a servant girl came in from outside, and the servant girl was not from the General's Mansion.

She walked up to Wang Die's side, "Mrs. Lei, please come with the slave." ”

Wang Die didn't know that person, so she looked up at Lei Luo, who nodded and comforted her, "Go with her, I'll look for you in a while." Don't worry, I'll be fine here. ”

Wang Die then followed the maid and left. After she left, Lei Luo said angrily, "You changed all the people in the house, why I don't know at all." ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled indifferently, sat down on the chair, and stretched out her hand to let Lei Luo sit down, but he stood there stubbornly, she didn't force her mouth to speak, "You are all about Guo Xiang and worrying about your family, where will you notice this." From now on, the General's Mansion will be under my command. ”

"What about me?"

Xiao Wanyao raised her forehead and stared at him, "Either you leave, or you will become my puppet general, I can also let you lead your troops to attack Wei, and you can follow the emperor's plan step by step." But you follow my orders directly. ”

Looking at Xiao Wanyao, Lei Luo finally understood what the feeling that had been buried deep in his heart all along, why did he feel that Chu Guocheng was in Xiao Wanyao, and Xiao Wanyao was defeated, "What if I don't agree!" I only want my family, and when my family comes back, you may not be able to control me. ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled lightly, shook her head, and said, "General Lei, do you know that a person with weaknesses is the easiest to deal with?" Your family can come back and continue to live in the General's Mansion, they can't go anywhere, and your life is still in my hands. Unless you really don't want your family and want to tell me all about it, tell the world. ”

She raised a frown, with a hint of treachery, "If you have the opportunity to say everything." ”

Lei Luo gasped, he felt like he had just come out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den. And this person is the one who really threatens him.

Xiao Wanyao didn't say anything else, she got up and walked to the door, "I'll give you a day to think about it, you can sue Guo Xiang about this matter, as long as she knows, once she threatens my affairs, you know what I will do." But if she didn't know, maybe I'd let her go. ”

After that, he turned around and left.

Lei Luo suddenly turned to stare at her, "What does the queen want by doing this?" Now that you're a queen, there's nothing you can't get. ”

Xiao Wanyao stopped, and a certain color sank, "General Lei should be very aware of this feeling of being controlled by others, even if I am the queen, as long as the emperor says a word, I am nothing." Those concubines in the harem may still have their own families to rely on, but I am here, only on my own. ”

She didn't give Lei Luo a chance to speak again, and had already turned to leave.

Lei Luo stood there stunned, to be honest, he was very able to understand Xiao Wanyao's current feelings, and he also knew why she wanted the 400,000 troops and wanted to protect herself and her children. It's just that from this moment on, he began to feel that Xiao Wanyao wanted more than that.

He can only temporarily agree to Xiao Wanyao's conditions now, and then have a chance to deal with her in the future.

Mingjun did doubt the authenticity of the talisman, so he went to a place to dispatch troops with Lei Luo's order, which was the same as Xiao Wanyao guessed in advance. Mingjun just took the army out to 'step on the spring' and then sent it back to the barracks. But he believed that the talisman he held in his hand was real.

After Xiao Wanyao left the general, she went directly to Shangguan Yunfan, and when she put the talisman of the 400,000 army in front of Shangguan Yunfan, he was stunned, "You...... What does that mean? ”

Xiao Wanyao said indifferently, "Take him, and you will be the commander of this 400,000 army in the future." But I am your ruler. Shangguan Yunfan was about to say something, but Xiao Wanyao interrupted him, "I believe that you will not betray me, and you can do some of your small business from it, and you don't have to ask others to help you find out the news." ”

When Shangguan Yunfan heard the words behind him, he immediately laughed, "In this way, then I might as well be respectful." ”

She nodded and continued, "Is Zhenhao still being held here?" ”

Shangguan Yunfan put away the talisman, nodded and said, "Here, I have been imprisoned here, your medicine is very effective, and he has no room to resist at all." I haven't seen you for a few years, and your research on poisons has reached the point of being superb, and many times I can't even study the antidote to the medicine you use. ”

"If you are allowed to research an antidote casually, won't you take advantage of the loophole and make a lot of money from me? Famous teachers produce high apprentices, you should be happy. Saying that, she had already stood up, "Let's go, let's go meet Zhenhao." ”

Shangguan Yunfan accompanied her to the place where Zhenhao was held.

When he entered, Zhenhao was lying on the bed, his head resting on his arms, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling in a daze, and he turned his head to look at the door when he heard footsteps.

"Did you sue him about the Destiny?" Xiao Wanyao asked.

"I said it." Shangguan Yunfan followed Xiao Wanyao in.

Zhenhao had already sat up at this moment, her eyes staring at Xiao Wanyao, since Xiao Wanyao caught herself, it was the first time she came here to see him, "Queen Mother, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, there must be something to look for." ”

Xiao Wanyao's face was calm, her tone was calm, and she stood opposite him and said, "There are indeed some things to say. She turned her head to look at Shangguan Yunfan, he took out the talisman of the 400,000 army he was carrying and put it on the table, Zhen Hao's expressionless face suddenly became surprised, "How did you do it." Famous Gentleman He ......"

"Rest assured, he's not dead now, and he's fine, but it's not far from death." Xiao Wanyao said faintly, "Now that you and the Mandate of Heaven are in my hands, you don't work for me, and I don't have to think about your usefulness." Once the famous king dies, none of you will live. ”

Zhenhao snorted lightly, but laughed heartily, "Are you threatening me?" Death is nothing to us at all, we are killers, and every time we go out to do a mission, we probably won't be able to come back, so we have long been ready to die. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at her coldly, rolled over and lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and ignored her.

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath, "For the sake of these 400,000 soldiers, Mingjun has given up the Mandate of Heaven. I just used him as one of his pawns, and the 400,000 talismans are now in my hands. Your plan has long since failed. Mingjun can't escape, don't you want to find a way out for yourself? ”

Zhen Hao closed his eyes, a faint smile hooked at the corner of his mouth, and said, "We were originally all pawns of the famous monarch, and we should have known it from the beginning, but the special relationship between the Mandate of Heaven and the famous monarch made him have feelings for him, so you can use this to control the Mandate of Heaven." But the queen mother, when I followed Mingjun, I already knew that I was his pawn, and I also knew that he would give up all the people for his own plans in the future. So this trick didn't work for me. ”

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath, slowly walked towards Zhenhao, leaned over slightly in front of him, and whispered, "What about the snow?" ”

Zhen Hao suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Xiao Wanyao, "What did you do to her?" ”

The corners of Xiao Wanyao's mouth hooked up a smile of victory, she knew that once she had someone she cared about, it would be his Achilles' heel, not only in others, but also in herself. Therefore, people should not have feelings, once they have feelings, they will be emotional, and people who want to take advantage of them will grasp this fatal weakness.

She straightened up, and Zhenhao also sat up from the bed, "The killer is indeed ruthless, but it is only for others, for the people he cares about. Didn't you take advantage of weaknesses like Megatron and Quakemon before, so you caught them? Now it's your turn. ”

Xiao Wanyao gritted her teeth lightly and turned around to leave.

Zhenhao stood up suddenly, the chain locked on his wrist rattled, "Don't move the snow, she doesn't pose any threat to you." ”

Xiao Wanyao turned her back to Zhen Hao and snorted coldly, "You are now a prisoner, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" As I said, when the famous king dies, all of you will die with him. ”

She was about to leave when Zhenhao rushed forward, but the chains on his wrists stopped him. He could only watch Xiao Wanyao disappear at the door of the cell. It's snowing, and the only person he cares about in this world is her. The only thing that doesn't want to happen is snow.

After leaving, Shangguan Yunfan asked with interest, "You actually know that Zhenhao is interested in snow, did you know them a long time ago?" The relationship between killers is supposed to be delicate, how exactly do you do it? ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled indifferently, stood still in the corridor, and looked at the sky outside, "Actually, I'm not completely sure about this matter. It's just that I didn't expect Zhenhao to be so difficult to deal with, so I took out the snow to test it. ”

"But he won't threaten him with a random woman for no reason, he must know something in advance." Shangguan Yunfan said.

Xiao Wanyao nodded, "It was a long time ago, not long after I met Zhen Ling, Zhen Ling mentioned Xue and Zhen Hao when he talked about the past. The snow relies on the Earthquake Spirit, and they have a good relationship. Regarding Zhenhao's affection for snow, it was also mentioned to Zhenling by snow. I'm taking it out now, but I'm trying my luck. ”

She sighed slightly, her face regained her former tranquility, and she looked at the gray sky, "I didn't expect to be really right." ”

Shangguan Yunfan tilted his head to look at her expression, then followed her gaze into the distance, and smiled indifferently, "It looks like it's going to rain." Spring rain is as expensive as oil! She didn't speak, Shangguan Yunfan retracted his gaze and looked at her, "It should be said that you won, but why don't you seem to be very happy when you look at you." ”

Xiao Wanyao glanced back at him, was silent for a moment and said, "No matter what kind of person it is, once you are emotional, it will become a fatal weakness. Because the people you care about can easily become the handle in the hands of others. ”

Shangguan Yunfan looked at her, she seemed to be persuading others, and she seemed to be persuading herself. He smiled clearly, "You should know it well. It's just that Guo Ping didn't threaten you with Xue Tianao at that time. ”

Xiao Wanyao's brows furrowed slightly, and she was still afraid in her heart when she remembered that incident, "Because there is no need to threaten at all, he got a qiē from me." Except for the heart. And the heart is the most difficult to control, even if you have sometimes, it is difficult to control your heart. He just wanted to get him out of my heart. ”

"Did he do it?" Shangguan Yunfan looked at Xiao Wanyao affectionately. R1154
