Chapter 97: The Struggle for the Succession
"So are we just going to wait?"
The sledgehammer walked around in place a little restlessly, and it had been going on for more than a month, and it almost rusted his bones.
"I can't wait long, Meng Tian has already left, the big change is about to begin, the biggest change is about to happen, there is no external pressure, and the civil strife will start after all. ”
"What?"
Master Ban was surprised, and the others were also puzzled.
And Tang Xuanming just held the long sword at his waist, and the internal force in his body flowed through his body over and over again, the internal force of the Mo family, and the breathing and breathing method of the vertical and horizontal family.
The two internal forces have the same path, but they are not intertwined, roaring and washing the meridians in the body.
"In the battle for succession, the huge war machine of the Qin State began to tilt into each other, which is the root cause of the crisis, but it is also our opportunity. ”
............
"The northern wolf clan has invaded, and the border situation is critical......"
Fusu clenched his fists, and Zhang Han, the leader of the secret guards, was reporting confidential information to him.
"I've got this clear, what I want to know is who Haiyue Xiaozhu wants me to die?"
Gongzi Fusu's face was calm, but Zhang Han did not dare to be negligent, the person in front of him is likely to become the heir of the empire, the supreme emperor in the future, leave a little friendship now, and the future is destined to have infinite help.
"The assassin acted decisively, replacing the servants and chef of Haiyue Kozuki a month in advance, and there were no flaws in his every move, leaving very few clues. ”
"So there are still clues left?"
No matter how difficult it is for his subordinates, all he needs is a result.
Zhang Han also knew, but he wanted to make his boss understand the difficulty of the operation, which would not buy him more time to investigate, but it would make his boss understand his ability.
"Yes, the Assassins are most clever at replacing cooks and minions a month in advance, and they can make seamless human skin masks out of their faces, and even behave in the same way. ”
"But there is one thing that these Assassins can't do. ”
Zhang Han's tone is unhurried, but it is always gripping and makes people want to continue listening, which is also an art of speaking.
Fusu pondered for a moment and said, "What can't they do? Is it the chef's cooking skills?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Han didn't take the opportunity to pat himself on the back, his face was still indifferent, but this was enough to satisfy his boss, and he continued to say in that unwavering words: "The behavior of the slave is exactly as good as the assassins can imitate, but the chef's cooking skills are too difficult for this group of assassins. ”
"Their killing skills are perfect, and their cooking skills may not be bad, but there is absolutely no way to make such a famous dish as shark fin cooking bear's paws, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and you can't expect that pair of killer hands to be able to make delicious food that people will not want to return. ”
"But shark fin was served in front of me that day, and the taste was the same as what I had tasted before. ”
Fusu stared at Zhang Han in front of him, and his tone became stern: "Are you going to tell me that assassin who is very good at killing people has good skills?"
"No!"
Facing Fusu's questioning, Zhang Han calmly faced it and said: "This is the flaw I want to talk about, I have carefully looked at the hands of the four assassins, their hands are full of calluses, but they are not used to chop vegetables, but to hold swords, they don't know how to cook at all." ”
"Who cooked the meal that day?"
Fusu asked with interest.
"That's the crux of the matter. ”
Zhang Han said with a glance: "There may be many people with good cooking skills, but there are not many people who can completely copy shark fin and cook bear paws and know the name, just right, there is one in Songhai." ”
"Who is he?"
"There is the shopkeeper of an inn, the first chef in Qilu. ”
"Oh, Ku Ding Xie Niu, he is at ease, I have seen it in the classics, I can't imagine that there are still heirs alive, he is the key to the matter?"
Fusu's face sank, and anyone who swam around between life and death would not be so easy to speak, although it was only his stand-in who went to the banquet.
But this act of assassination has offended his majesty, and everyone must know that when the puppet is angry, the blood is splashed with blood, and the prince is angry, and millions of corpses are ambushed.
And now Fusu, the heir to the future empire, is already angry.
"Yes!"
Zhang Han didn't seem to feel Fusu's anger, and was still as calm as water.
"Is this the only clue?"
"Enough is enough!"
Fusu's eyebrows furrowed, waiting for Zhang Han's next answer.
"According to the information we have got, Ku Ding is not only the first chef in Qilu, but also in charge of the diet of Xiaoshengxian Village, and only Confucianism can move him. ”
"Oh, Confucians, they don't seem to have anything to do with the Assassins. ”
Indeed, Confucianism had never heard of any involvement in assassination. ”
Zhang Han was slightly confused.
"Childe, the minister also has a report. ”
Lis, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke.
"Lord Sangkoku, please speak!"
"According to the information obtained by the Tianluo Net, Running Ding is not just the exclusive chef of Xiaoshengxian Village, he also has a double identity. ”
"What identity?"
"He is also a member of the Mo family. ”
"Mo family!"
Fusu's tone was inexplicable, and he couldn't hear much emotion.
"Did those imperial rebels flow to Songhai?"
"I'm afraid it's more than that!"
Li Si arched his hand and said, "The quicksand has also arrived here." ”
"Quicksand! The killer assassin group that used to be left behind in South Korea?"
"Yes!"
Fusu's face became solemn and said, "You mean to say that this assassination was made by quicksand." ”
Li Si shook his head and said, "This is just a guess, and there is no definite information to prove it at the moment." ”
"But what's interesting is that Zhang Liang and Wei Zhuang are both from South Korea, and I heard that they used to be old acquaintances. ”
Fusu glanced deeply at Li Si, the most powerful minister in the empire was also from the former Korea.
But the face of Xiangguo, who has been up and down in the imperial political arena for decades, has not changed in the slightest, as if he is dedicated to the public.
"Zhang Han, what do you think?"
"The minister didn't know about Ku Ding's other identity, but neither the Mohists nor the Confucians were good at assassination, and judging from the assassin methods that appeared in Haiyue Xiaozhu today, they were the most elite assassins. ”
"Songhai has such strength, and only quicksand is there. ”
The Nets also had this ability, and the previous four Assassins had all been subdued and captured alive, and it was the sudden appearance of the Six Sword Slaves of the Nets that led to their death and escape......
Zhang Han went through this sentence in his heart, but he didn't say it, he didn't squint, staring at the air in front of him, as if the air contained the truth of heaven and earth, as if he couldn't see Li Si next to him.
There was silence in the room, the atmosphere was solemn, and there was silence for a long time before Fu Su spoke: "In that case, you all go down." ”
"Yes!"
Li Si arched his hand and saluted before slowly turning around and leaving.
And Zhang Han strode away, full of military style.
The room soon fell silent, only Fusu stood there quietly, and he muttered to himself, "Confucian ......"
