Chapter 261: Plans
King Liang was scheming, and in order to achieve his goal, the plan was quickly implemented by him.
At that time, there was no shortage of dead soldiers in the world, and the same was true of the Liang Kingdom, just like the mansion of the minister Cai Yan, which had several doormen.
Under the king's explanation, the dead soldiers were quickly selected, and the task was simple and clear, assassinating the king of Qin, and after failure, blaming the Jin state.
For this mission, the assassins did not ask why, nor did they talk nonsense, and after receiving the order, they began to prepare.
However, in the final personnel determination, King Liang unexpectedly made changes.
Cool Palace, in the study.
After reading the files of these dead soldiers, King Liang said directly: "Gai Shi doesn't have to go. β
"This, why is that, the king?" Cai Yan couldn't help but say: "Gai Shi is a loyal and patriotic person, he has long abandoned life and death, for the great cause of the Liang country, he is willing to sacrifice himself, and he is strong, and more importantly, he has no worries, he is alone, and he is the best candidate for assassination." β
King Liang glanced at him: "It is precisely because he is alone and has no ties that he is not the best candidate." β
As he spoke, he added: "It doesn't matter whether you can assassinate the King of Qin or not, the important thing is to let the Qin State know that the assassin was sent by the Jin State." As for the dead soldiers, it is better to live, doesn't he have a sister? β
"Yes, when Yisheng was a child, his parents died early, and he and his sister depended on each other, at that time, it was a war, and it was not easy for the brother and sister to survive, so the feelings were very deep." Cai Yan replied.
Hearing this, the corners of King Liang's mouth curled slightly: "I heard that Yisheng can give up everything for the sake of his sister!" It's good, take his sister over. β
"People, with fatal ties and weaknesses, can they better serve Liangguo."
Cai Yan understood what he meant, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva again.
In the end, under Cai Yan's arrangement, the leader of the dead soldiers was designated as Yisheng, and his sister, who depended on each other, was also sent by King Liang to take him to the palace of King Liang.
Before leaving, King Liang personally met Yisheng and said to him: "For the strength of Liangguo, for the rise of Liangguo, the strong man disregards his personal safety and abandons life and death, such righteousness is admirable!" Please bow down to the widow! β
As he spoke, he immediately stretched out his sleeve robe, folded his hands, and gave a salute to the standard of Yisheng.
Under the dynasty of dignity and humility, he is a king, and Yisheng, but a dead soldier, was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The king torments the villain." β
"Huh? Rise quickly. King Liang hurriedly pretended to help him up, and said: "Strong man, please rest assured, after you leave, your sister is my princess of Liangguo!" This king does not dare to guarantee anything else, but he will definitely see it as his own sister. β
Yes!? Hearing this, Yishengna hurriedly knelt on the ground again.
What is the princess of Liangguo, it's just that King Liang said it nicely, to put it bluntly, he is vaguely telling Yisheng, the task of this trip is completed, your sister is glorious and rich, and she enjoys inexhaustible, if she fails, not only will you die, but your sister will not be able to live!
Yisheng's identity was originally a dead soldier, and he had long been ready to sacrifice for the country, and now with this incident, it can be imagined.
On the other side, the state of Qin.
This time, the four kings met in Bai Ze, and there were not too many people and horses, and Xiao Yuan's side only arranged some necessary guards, of course, Xu Hu followed, and Liang Yuan and a group of elite masters of the Duwei battalion.
At that time, the world was in turmoil, and the princes would make alliances, which was a common thing, or for the sake of making a contract, or for war and peace, and now Bai Ze will meet, which is also a normal category.
Before leaving, Xiao Yuan temporarily handed over state affairs to Liu Yuzhi and Shangguan Wenruo to deal with, some small matters can be discussed by the two, and the prime minister can make decisions, and some major matters that need to be decided by the king will be sorted out and wait for Xiao Yuan to come back to make a decision.
After explaining everything, Xiao Yuan immediately set off, from Qinzhou to Shanyuguan, and then traveled for a few days to arrive at Shangyu, and as soon as Shangyu passed, it was Bai Ze.
At this time, according to the agreed time, the other three kings should have almost arrived, running all the way, Xiao Yuan also decided to rest for one night in Shangyu and meet the three kings the next day.
And this is not the native of the Qin State, so it is conceivable that the place where Xiao Yuan stays is naturally heavily guarded.
Outside the courtyard, there are forbidden army foot soldiers, patrolling back and forth, and outside Xiao Yuanmen, Xu Hu and Liang Yuan take turns guarding them.
But in this case, in the middle of the night, there was still a strange noise.
"What people!" Liang Yuan was alert and jumped forward in an instant.
Xu Hu didn't care much, and hurriedly pushed the door in: "King! β
"Quick! There are assassins! Protector Kingβ"
The courtyard exploded, and immediately afterward, a large number of forbidden troops with halberds frantically poured in, enclosing this place with three layers inside and three layers outside.
At any time, assassinating the king is a dead end, and the chance of success is even more remote, and it didn't take long for the assassins to be forced to appear by a large number of elites in the Duwei camp.
In the courtyard, they were surrounded, each with a sharp sword in hand, back to back, and their faces full of nervousness.
At this time, Xiao Yuan had naturally woken up, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he said indifferently: "Keep your mouth alive." β
"Yes!" Liang Yuan answered, and then waved his hand at the personnel of the Duwei Battalion.
It was a battle without suspense, there were more than a dozen assassins, and after a fight, several people were killed, several of them committed suicide by poisoning, and in the end, only Yisheng was arrested.
All this was originally arranged by King Liang.
But Xiao Yuan is a human, not a god, and after catching the assassin, he naturally ordered Du Weiying to interrogate him severely.
Assassinating the king, the crime is not small, Liang Yuan exhausted his means, at the beginning, Yisheng gritted his teeth and insisted, insisting on not revealing a word, with the inhuman torture, at this time, he seemed to be unable to stand it, and finally spoke.
The interrogation process lasted all night, and for Yisheng, those dead soldiers who committed suicide by poisoning themselves were undoubtedly happy, but he had no choice, for the sake of his sister's happiness, he could only work hard to complete King Liang's explanation.
Early the next morning, when Xiao Yuan was washing, Liang Yuan came to report.
"How's it going?" He asked casually as he wiped his hands with a towel.
"Back to the king, there is a result." Liang Yuan said: "The assassin confessed and was sent by the King of Jin. β
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan's hand paused, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Xu Hu next to him was immediately furious, and said angrily: "King! The princes of the world will be allied, and they all pay attention to integrity, and the king of Jin actually sent assassins to assassinate him, which is extremely shameless! The last general suggested that the king immediately send a message to the country and mobilize a large army! β
"Huh? Don't be impulsive. β
Xiao Yuan raised his hand, and then said with some doubts: "This, if it is the King of Jin, is it too stupid?" β
