In the quiet bedroom, Sima Yue, the king of the southeast, slept on the bed, coughing incessantly.

Sun Bin and Ma Liang knelt respectfully not far away.

"The corpse has been hung up?" Sima Yue asked.

Sun Bin said: "Back to the prince, it has been hung up, because it is night, only a few people saw it, Wang Xiao was furious when he saw the corpse, and directly ordered someone to put the corpse down, and did not embarrass the villain." ”

Sima Yue nodded and said, "Although this move is a slap in the face of the Wang family, it is a good fight!" Is it true that the son of this king is easy to bully? Wait for the king to ask the reason for the matter, if it is really the Wang family's doing, hum..."

After a pause, he asked again: "Tell me what happened, and don't leave out any details." ”

Sun Bin and Ma Liang responded, and then gave a detailed introduction to the matter.

After hearing this, Sima Yue asked, "The prince went to Zhao Baoyu, are you sure it was the prince's own idea?" ”

"My subordinates are very sure that it is the idea of the prince." Sun Bin said.

Sima Yue nodded, he had already asked the princess, and it was indeed Sima Haiyun who she sent the steward to find, but he didn't expect Sima Haiyun not to return to the house for the sake of food, and sent the two guards back.

As for why the princess wanted Sima Haiyun to return to the house, it was Li Ru who understood the princess's love for her son, and happened to believe in Buddhism, so when she went to the Buddhist temple to worship the Buddha today, she warned her with the mouth of a monk that according to the signature, her son Sima Haiyun was afraid of being killed recently, and it was not appropriate to go out.

So after returning to the palace, the princess heard that Sima Haiyun had gone out, and immediately sent a steward to invite Sima Haiyun back to the palace, but she didn't expect that she almost hurt Sima Haiyun by mistake.

The whole plan is also interlocking, and it is impossible for Sima Yue to find out anything just by asking.

However, the whole plan is also inadequate.

"The captured assassin is sure to be the Wang family's worship, but he insisted that it was to assassinate Zhao Baoyu, not the prince?" Sima Yue asked.

Sun Bin nodded and said, "That's right, we used torture, and he never admitted that it was to assassinate the prince." ”

"Okay, I see, you guys stand down." Sima Yue coughed twice and told them to retreat.

Lying on the soft collapse and thinking for a moment, Sima Yue asked, "What do you think?" ”

Behind the screen not far away, a middle-aged man flashed.

The middle-aged man had a goatee and replied: "Lord Wang, there is no doubt that the assassin was sent by Wang Xiao's concubine, Wang Beifeng, but Wang Xiao should not know, first, he didn't dare, and second, if he really wanted to do it, he wouldn't have sent only two great martial artists." As for the two assassins' different statements, it doesn't matter anymore, the assassination of His Royal Highness the Prince is a fact, this is the most important thing, just take this opportunity to hit the Wang family hard, and the Wang family's hand is getting longer and longer. ”

"You're right, it's really time to beat the Wang family hard, otherwise they will forget who is in charge of Xuzhou, cough cough... However, during this time, this king always felt that there was a mysterious force swimming in Pengcheng, from the widow of the Shen family, to the unknown life and death of Wang Xiao's son who fell into the water, and then to the attack on Haiyun now, it seems that there is a black hand pushing it, and it is worrying that there is no trace. "Sima Yue can mix with the current level, and his mind and strategy are definitely not bad.

The middle-aged man agreed: "I also feel something, it seems that there are too many people who covet Xuzhou." Prince, we can only respond to all changes with the same, with the prince in charge for a day, the young people only dare to play conspiracy and trickery. In addition, the whereabouts of Wang Xiao's son are unknown, and it may also be Wang Xiao's bitter plan, so his subordinates feel that these small calculations are useless, and the prince does not have to worry. ”

"Well, but how long can I last?" Sima Yue sighed.

The middle-aged man said again: "My subordinates have already ordered people to go to Longhu Mountain, if you can obtain the Taoist Jindan, the prince's condition will be controlled." ”

Sima Yue nodded and said with a smile: "With you here, this king is much more relieved." In the future, even if he dies, with you to assist Haiyun in terms of strategy, and Li Yuanxiao in leading the troops, this king will be able to look at it. During this time, continue to beat Li Yuanxiao, and after the king's birthday, he will have to be activated. Dongguan County has been defeated and retreated one after another, and the entire Dongguan County is about to fall into the hands of Sima Yin. Yuzhou and Yanzhou are also ready to move, and they can't bear it anymore. ”

"The prince can rest assured, his subordinates will do their best, and they will also protect the prince and the foundation of the southeast palace. But Li Yuanxiao still has to win over him, this person is loyal and righteous, although he has respected the prince over the years, he has never been wholeheartedly loyal, and he has lost a little taste. Don't be angry, in my opinion, the prince is no better than the dead Shen Lie's status in his heart. Therefore, it is also necessary to win him over and let him really die, so that he can choose the guardian general for the prince. The middle-aged man said.

Sima Yue said: "This king naturally understands that this king has given him the power to lead the troops in Xuzhou, what else can he reward?" Oh yes, this time Zhao Baoyu sacrificed his life to protect Haiyun, and his performance made the king look sideways, I heard that he was stabbed several times and never retreated, plus Haiyun regarded him as a confidant, and he was Li Yuanxiao's son-in-law, so he should be rewarded! In the future, he can also serve as Haiyun's assistant. ”

"What the prince said is right, we should also reuse the people around the prince, so that they can be wholeheartedly loyal to His Royal Highness from the beginning." The middle-aged man agreed.

Sima Yue immediately had an idea in his heart.

At this moment, Shen Ning lived in the luxurious big bed room of the palace and recuperated from his injuries.

The main purpose of this bitter plan is to befriend Sima Haiyun, and the secondary purpose is to obtain the right to lead troops in the future. In the end, it was to avoid Sima Yue's sixtieth birthday.

Sima Yue's 60th birthday, the families of Pengcheng were all present, and more importantly, people from Qingzhou came.

People from Qingzhou must know Zhao Baoyu, and now that he is injured, he naturally can't go to celebrate his birthday, so he escaped a catastrophe.

Now Shen Ning's identity can't be revealed, and when Sima Yue finishes his life, he has obtained positions and military exploits after entering the army, and it doesn't matter if he leaks it or not.

Next, you can recuperate with peace of mind.

......

At this time, the Wang family was dead silent.

Wang Xiao looked at several corpses in the courtyard with a gloomy face, and not far away was Wang Beifeng, who was kneeling.

"Say, is it the assassin you sent?" Wang Xiao's voice was low and suppressed to the extreme.

Wang Beifeng was trembling with fright, he never expected that Sima Haiyun would run to Zhao Baoyu!

"Child... Child..."Wang Beifeng hesitated a few times, but he hadn't thought of a speech.

When Wang Xiao saw his performance, he immediately closed his eyes and clenched his teeth.

After a while, Wang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were ruthless.

"Someone! Break Wang Beifeng's legs for me and send it to the Southeast Palace to apologize! I don't think I have this son! In addition, prepare 30,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold! ”

Wang Xiao's heart is dripping blood, and if you want to make the Southeast King dissipate his anger this time, it is definitely not that simple.

Wang Beifeng was dumbfounded, and then hurriedly begged: "Father, father, the child knows that he is wrong, the child just wants to kill Zhao Baoyu, and he never thought of assassinating Sima Haiyun, please show mercy to his father's subordinates..."

Wang Xiao's gaze swept over him, and his eyes were cold, making Wang Beifeng feel cold.

His guards immediately stepped forward and held down Wang Beifeng.

"Do it!" Wang Xiao drank coldly.

One of the guards raised his whistle stick and smashed Wang Beifeng's legs hard.

"Ahh

Wang Beifeng's miserable wail resounded through the Wang family, like a ghost crying wolf in the dark night.
