The rolling sound of the wheel axle of the carriage gradually became smaller outside the bamboo forest, and after holding the reins, the little guy quickly jumped off the car, and after placing the horse stool completely, the little guy helped a fat man to quickly get off the carriage, this person was Luoyang Ling-Kou Zuren.

"Now that the matter is done, let's step down"

"No"

Kou Zuren said to the black-clothed assassin, Yuan Bao Torch waved his hand when he saw this, and the rest of the assassins disappeared instantly, and Yuan Song followed and left.

Kou Zuren glanced at the Yuan Hui lying on the ground, slowly pulled his hand to the sleeve, and then took out a bag of silver taels and threw it to the Yuan Bao Torch, he smiled with a pleasant face, "This matter is also clean"

Kou Zuren stood in place, glanced at Yuan Hui's corpse, and then straightened his waist and stood in place, he first flicked his sleeves calmly, and said to the man in black who took the lead: "Is everything handled safely?" ”

"Back to my lord, the rebel Yuan Hui has corrected the law on the spot. This corpse, how to dispose of it" The ingot torch was veiled, and said to Kou Zuren with a grovel look.

"Before this person's death, there was nonsense or anything" Kou Zuren walked to Yuan Hui's side with the support of the accompanying servant, he didn't seem to believe that Yuan Hui was really dead, obviously Yuan Hui's hiding in his mansion had been known by Er Zhu Zhao. Now the whole street is full of notices of wanted Yuan Hui, not to mention the bounty, but also with this head, in exchange for fame and fortune. Thinking of this, the greedy color on Kou Zuren's face became more and more unmistakable.

He stepped on Yuan Hui's corpse and said, "Okay, you Yuan Hui, when you are alive, the fifty good horses you brought, and the hundred gold just solved the urgent need of this order." You died, and you also provided this order with a place to be promoted and make a fortune, this order did not find out, are you so fated with this order, whether it is in the world or hell, this kindness, this order will never forget. If you want to lock your soul and get revenge, go to someone else."

Legend has it that this Kou Zuren relied on business to make a fortune in the early years, but unfortunately, the drought in the north has intensified year after year, and there are not a few people who die of starvation and disease. This Kou Zuren wandered for half a life, people to middle age is still inactive, because he can't pay the harsh taxes and committed some punishments, fortunately he met Yuan Hui to help, and then he threw himself into Chengyang Wang Yuanhui, Yuan Hui gave him a small Luoyang County Cheng with a helping hand, and later with the relationship of the government, he scattered all his wealth and finally established his main fist in Luoyang.

Later, Yuan Ziyou ascended the throne as the emperor, and Yuanhui, the king of Chengyang, who was the uncle of Emperor Zhuang, gradually became favored by the emperor, and one person attained the Tao, and this Kou Zuren jumped from this small Luoyang County to the position of Luoyang Ling, which can be said to be followed to ascend to heaven. Sure enough, Cheng is also Yuan Hui, and this defeat is also Yuan Hui. Although Emperor Zhuang Fuzhuer Zhu Rong was successful, the Erzhu family was deeply rooted, and although Emperor Zhuang eliminated the hungry wolf, he was invincible to the fierce dog after all. As soon as Emperor Zhuang died, these clansmen related to the Yuan clan would not only spend their lives quietly in the eyes of Er Zhuzhao.

When this Yuan Hui fled from the palace, he carried with him 100 catties of gold and 50 horses, and he did not save the Son of Heaven in Lindao, but committed thieves, which has long been despised by the world's heroes. Although Yuan Hui temporarily put the looted jewelry in Kou Zuren's house, the mistake was that Kou Zuren was not a gentleman on the beam, but a real fake villain.

This Kou Zuren's intention to be grateful to Yuan Hui for his good birth is false, and the property he brought with him is true. Since Luoyang left, Yuan Hui's reputation has long been notorious, and with the refusal to savior, there is very little place in this world that can contain Yuan Hui. Originally, Yuan Hui thought that he was grateful for his kindness to Kou Zuren, and Kou Zuren would help him through the danger, who knew that although Kou Zuren promised to take in Yuan Hui on the surface, he said to his family in private:

"God help me to get on the career again, since Emperor Zhuang was deposed, Er Zhu Zhao reused the deployment, and my official positions were wasted, and now although I have not been ordered by Luoyang, in fact, I have long lost real power. This Chengyang King has long been despised by the princes of the world, I heard that Er Zhu Zhao is offering a reward for arrest, and the person who caught him is sealed as the Marquis of a thousand households, and today our rich day has arrived! ：”

When the concubine heard this, she praised Kou Zuren for a while, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one. Just when Kou Zuren thought that he could exchange for a bigger official by grabbing Yuan Hui, the housekeeper in the mansion heard the news, and immediately said to Kou Zuren: "Master, don't be in a hurry about this matter" Speaking of this, the housekeeper suddenly stopped his tone and glanced at the people in the room.

What an old fox Kou Zuren was, seeing the butler like this, he naturally knew what he meant, and after speaking, he looked at the attendants in the mansion, and then waved his hand to signal them to retreat. "Go down too!" After the attendant retreated, the concubine was still lazily lying on Kou Zuren, Kou Zuren saw this, immediately changed his face, and instantly became serious, and the concubine also retreated when she saw that it was boring...

Seeing that the attendants had all retreated, the butler walked to Kou Zuren's side with a sinister face and said: "Master, there are very few people who know about this matter in my mansion. Besides, what kind of person is this Zhu Zhao, a lustful and greedy person, he will never hunt down and kill King Yu Chengyang for the old emperor, I am afraid that he is here for the treasure. ”

Hearing this, Kou Zuren was shocked, he had long heard that Er Zhu Zhao's methods were vicious, and there was no grass everywhere he went. Originally, he was still very happy about the bounty and knighthood, but he didn't know that the breath of death was gradually coming. The reason why Er Zhu Zhao chased and killed Yuan Hui was nothing more than that Yuan Hui carried a large number of palace heavy objects. Now Gao Huan is even more single-handed, and he is trusted by Zhu Zhao, some time ago, Yuan Hui wrote to Gao Huan, thinking that Zhu Zhao must have noticed it, otherwise, he would definitely not reward him heavily. As long as you catch Yuan Hui, you can get the lost treasure, and the title of official is just a gimmick, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, only this Kou Zuren has no notice.

"Butler, how is this good" Kou Zuren grabbed the butler's hand in horror and said, when the butler mentioned this, he immediately understood: "As long as we hand over the Yuan Hui, then Er Zhu Zhao will know that the jewelry carried by the Yuan Hui is in my mansion, and my mansion will definitely usher in a catastrophe at that time." How should this be? I should have known that I shouldn't have taken in Yuan Hui" Thinking that Yuan Hui was like a hot potato at the moment, Kou Zuren was really scared and didn't know how to get better. Er Zhu Zhao is so cruel, not to mention that Emperor Zhuang is his brother-in-law, he can be ruthless, after joining the army in Luoyang, how few wealthy families were burned and plundered overnight. lest if one of them is not careful, he will be ambushed all over the door.

When the housekeeper heard this, his words wanted to come to Kou Zuren and listen to them in shock, otherwise he would not be as at a loss as he is now. Speaking of this, the butler twisted his beard, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then said to Kou Zuren: "The old slave has a plan, I heard that there is an assassin organization in the east of the city, called Qiu Yintang" If we can hire these professional assassins, we will not allow people to talk about it, and then the old man will take Kou Zuren's head and ask Er Zhu Zhao for merit, and he will definitely be able to gain fame and fortune."

Kou Zuren looked at the housekeeper and pointed at him with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be such a bad thing" As he spoke, the two of them laughed with a successful face. After laughing twice, Kou Zuren looked at the housekeeper at a loss and said, "But, how can we trick Yuan Hui out of the house?"

Seeing this, the butler rolled his eyes, and then whispered into Kou Zu's ear. After listening to the butler's words, Kou Zuren laughed evilly again...

"Adult, my lord is not good" Originally, Yuan Hui was still drinking tea comfortably in the room arranged by Kou Zuren, admiring the outstanding dancing posture of the beauties, Kou Zuren shouted all the way and ran to Yuan Hui's side.

These days, Yuan Hui, who is like a frightened bird, finally has a few comforting days and nights, and he is naturally shocked when he hears such news.

"Zuren! What the hell is going on, you are so flustered"

"Oh no, King Chengyang, Erzhu Zhao's soldiers said that they wanted to track down the remnants, and they were about to come to me. It's no longer safe here, so the prince still runs away. I've got the horses ready, it's right at the back door, don't be careful."

Seeing this, Yuan Hui really thought that Kou Zuren was thinking about himself, so he followed the direction he pointed out...

... ...

... ...

Seeing that Kou Zuren had been pondering, the "adult" bowed with the ingot torch, breaking Kou Zuren's memories.

The butler pulled the corner of Kou Zuren's clothes and whispered, "My lord"

Seeing that Kou Zuren was still standing in place, Yuan Baoju saw that he frowned, so he asked him, "Do you still have any questions?" ”

Kou Zuren slowly walked towards the position of the Yuan Bao Torch: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you quickly cut off his head and send it to Erzhu Zhao's mansion, who will go to find this bounty late" After that, Kou Zuren threw Erzhu Zhao's notice to reward him on Yuan Hui's body, obviously Yuan Hui didn't know anything at this moment.

Seeing this, Yuan Bao Ju immediately bowed his head to Kou Zuren and said: "My lord, the killing is too meaty, please also ask the adult to get on the sedan chair, and the follow-up will be done for the adult."

When Kou Zuren saw Yuan Bao Torch say this, he hurriedly laughed. He patted the shoulder of the Yuan Bao Torch with a happy face and said, "This assassin of the "Qiu Yintang" really thinks uniquely. It's not in vain that this order spends a lot of money to hire you for a ride, in this case, this order is by no means stingy" After that, Kou Zuren took out a bag of reward silver in his arms and threw it to the ingot torch and said: "Reward you"

After the "Lord Xie" ingots torch took the silver, he quickly thanked him in return.

For Kou Zuren, the group of people in front of him was nothing more than a mysterious and expensive group of assassins in the rivers and lakes. But for Yuan Bao Ju, this opportunity is just his last chance to avenge Yuan Ziyou.

Kou Zuren left the meeting, Yuan Song slowly walked to Yuan Baoju's side, and seeing that he had been frozen in place, Yuan Song stepped forward and whispered: "I really don't know, how long can an ungrateful villain like Kou Zuren survive."

Seeing this, Yuan Bao Ju slowly pulled off the veil, he turned the silver in his hand, and threw the silver to Yuan Song with a senseless face, he glanced at Yuan Hui lying on the ground, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of sadness: "Just a few taels of silver, I will take the life of my imperial brother." Take it and let them share it! Now, Yuan Hui is dead, as for this Kou Zuren who is a tiger fighter, he will be handed over to Er Zhu Zhao to interrogate, Er Zhu Zhao is brave, the most unseen is this rooster and dog thief, I believe that in the hands of Er Zhu Zhao, he will definitely be better than dead"

"King, there is a person outside the account who asks to see the king" The little guy quickly reported the information to Er Zhuzhao.

Subsequently, under its transmission, the waiter quickly presented the box containing the head of the Yuan Emblem to Er Zhu Zhao, and after seeing Er Zhu Zhao, the waiter quickly finished the etiquette to him, and then said: "The villain is ordered by my family to send a gift to the King of Taiyuan."

In the big tent, Yuan Bao Ju really sent someone to send Yuan Hui's head to Er Zhu Zhao's military camp according to the agreement with Kou Zuren. The moment he saw Yuan Hui's head, Er Zhuzhao was really overjoyed.

After Er Zhu Zhao saw this thing, he fixed his eyes, and soon he turned his gaze, looked directly at the attendant who sent this thing, and said, "Who asked you to give this thing to me?"

"Lord Qiqi, my master saw the king post the news of the arrest of this traitor in the city, and knew that this person had angered the king, so he captured this person."

"Who is the master of your family," Er Zhu Zhao looked at him with a serious face

Seeing this, the attendant whispered: "Luoyang Order, Kou Zuren"

Hearing this, Erzhu Zhao immediately burst out laughing. Seeing this, the attendant couldn't help but stand on end, Er Zhuzhao walked to the attendant's side, patted the attendant's shoulder and said, "Your master is really here without three hundred taels of silver!" ”

After speaking, I saw Er Zhuzhao quickly flick his robe and said smartly: "Someone is coming"

Outside the tent, several small men in armor walked in, saluted to Erzhu Zhao and said, "In"

Er Zhuzhao glanced at the little guy sent by Kou Zuren to deliver the letter, and instantly transformed the original smile on his face into an eager joy and pleasure: "Go to Luoyang Ling, please come for this king"

After hearing this, the "No" soldier immediately took the order and left

As soon as the messenger heard this, he was instantly frightened and sweated. Kou Zuren was escorted to the Erzhu Zhao camp, and when he saw the little servant he had arranged to deliver the letter kneeling on the ground, his heart instantly stopped panicking. Kou Zuren thought that he thought that someone else had already told Er Zhuzhao, so he confessed it all, and he only promised: "The general spares his life, the villain did get a hundred catties of gold and fifty horses, and the villain is willing to give all his family property to the general, and I hope that the general can spare the villain's life." ”

"That's good," Er Zhuzhao said to Kou Zuren

Half a day later, Kou Zuren handed over all his net worth. Despite this, Er Zhuzhao suspected that Kou Zuren still had something to hide, so he still asked the soldiers to search Kou Zuren's house, Kou Zuren originally wanted to abandon his friends and seek wealth, but he never thought that he was smart but was mistaken by cleverness. The six arts of a gentleman are important to virtue. However, how could a person as untrustworthy and unrighteous as Kou Zuren be liked by Er Zhuzhao.

Kou Zuren was escorted all the way back to his home, and in addition to handing over the gold he had stolen from Yuanhui, all the war horses were captured by Er Zhuzhao, and even his own family property was also seized one by one. Despite this, Er Zhu Zhao still didn't believe him, Er Zhu Zhao hated treacherous people the most in his life, after squeezing Kou Zuren's family wealth, in a fit of anger, he arrested Kou Zuren, and later, Kou Zuren couldn't bear the pain of imprisonment and gradually went crazy. After Kou Zuren's death, Erzhu Zhao hung his head from a tree, hung a large stone on his feet, and whipped him to death.

On the outskirts of the city, the ingot torch carries a pot of sake and stands alone at a small mound and is sad alone...

I don't know when, Er Zhu Shilong quietly walked behind the ingot torch. In fact, he followed all the way, and Yuan Bao Torch didn't know that he deliberately let Yuan Song retreat, in order to test Er Zhu Shilong's trip alone.

"The dead are gone, and the living should be strong"

Yuan Bao Ju looked at Er Zhu Shilong, and pretended to be puzzled and looked at him: "What does the general mean by this, forgive Yuan Bao Ju for being stupid."

"Don't think that a golden cicada can hide your true strength if it comes out of its shell" Er Zhu Shilong glanced at the Yuan Bao Torch and saw that he was still standing there without any change on his face. Seeing the ingot torch like this, the anger in Er Zhu Shilong's heart continued to burn, he roared and looked at the ingot torch, and almost the whole person's emotions were completely affected, which he was cowardly and afraid of things in peacetime, and he couldn't see that he was a person at all.

Er Zhu Shilong suddenly grabbed the neck of the ingot torch in a mess, and said angrily: "I can seriously accompany you to finish this game, not because of how capable you are the king of Nanyang, but because your existence has a vital role for me, once you have no such role, believe me, this general definitely doesn't mind that there is one more body next to this bone pile, so that your brothers can get together as soon as possible" After that, he quickly pushed and coldly pushed the ingot torch to the ground

"Yuan Bao Torch, don't be ignorant of lifting"

Obviously, Erzhu Shilong was not very impatient at this moment, first Erzhu Zhao crowded Yuan Gong in front, and the rest of the Erzhu family's forces followed suit, and all of a sudden, the descendants of the royal family with the surname Yuan became "sought-after things" regardless of blood relatives. It's rare to catch a person who is suitable for fame, fortune and identity, how can Er Zhu Shilong let it go easily.

"It seems that the general still doesn't know something" Yuan Bao Ju knew that at this moment, Er Zhu Shilong's heart was also extremely conflicted, for the person who jumped over the wall in a hurry, in addition to appeasing, it was more important to lure him.

Yuan Bao Ju looked at Erzhu Shilong, who was approaching step by step, since Er Zhurong's death, Erzhu Shilong's respectful appearance was gone, but he lived more freely and easily. But it's right to think about it, there is such a cousin who is moody and resolute, so he naturally wants to clamp his tail and be a man.

"I don't know what" Er Zhu Shilong was suddenly asked by the Yuan Bao Torch.

"Of course, the general doesn't know the difference between himself and the rest of the Erzhu family, in the past, when the general of the Zhuguo State Er Zhurong was still alive, what kind of person the general was, it must be needless to say, no matter what mistakes the general made, there was naturally the king of Taiyuan to support the general, and now, the king of Taiyuan died violently, and the general felt that the relatives who were offended by the general in the past would be the same as the general.

Hearing Yuan Bao Torch say this, Er Zhu Shilong instantly collapsed a lot. He naturally knew who those people in the mouth of the ingot torch were. It's just that he doesn't deny that what Yuan Bao Ju said is wrong, for a mercenary person like Er Zhu Shilong, he naturally doesn't like to be held in the hands of others, so that people can know their shortcomings.

"Ah Zhao is my nephew, so he will naturally be in the same breath as me" After speaking, Er Zhu Shilong himself pinched the hand coiled in his sleeve without confidence.

"Oh! Is it? In this case, why doesn't the general support Yuan Gong with the hussar general" Yuan Baoju looked at Er Zhu Shilong calmly, obviously his defense line had been broken, otherwise, he would not be able to tolerate him talking like this.

"I, I, the old man, I have my own plan"

"The Yuan Bao Torch is here to congratulate the general, I heard that the general has made a very wise decision, Mrs. Zhu Guo is in the General's Mansion" Things have almost run according to the expectations of the Yuan Bao Torch, after several confrontations with Erzhu Shilong, the Yuan Bao Torch has gradually become the upper hand, although Erzhu Shilong is still unaware, but has begun to be lured along his train of thought.

"Yes and what!" Er Zhu Shilong looked at the ingot torch unconfidently.

Yuan Bao Ju knew that now, there was no more suitable way to exchange handles with Er Zhu Shilong than at this moment. Nowadays, Erzhu Zhao alone sits at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Erzhu Zhongyuan in the west, Erzhu Dulu in the southwest, plus this Erzhu Shilong, who has no real power, they are all competing for power, but they only forget that there is another person who can connect these scattered forces, and that is Erzhurong's wife Yeyana.

As long as Yeena is in her hands, the Erzhu family will sell her a few thin noodles regardless of the forces of all parties, of course, what the Yuan Bao Torch will not tell anyone is that Yeyena is in her hands, and Zhuge Muqing, who claims to be the son of Erzhu Rongyi, will not be attached.

"Since the lady is in the hands of the general, then the odds are naturally a little more, I have heard in Luoyang, the hussar general is very filial to his cousin, there is a lady, why worry is not grasped, since this throne is the general intended to give the ingots, then how can there be no gift."

After speaking, the ingot torch immediately gave it to Erzhu Shilong, and Erzhu Shilong was stunned, and when he saw that the ingots had received his suggestion, he immediately replied to him with a courtesy.

"When the country can be determined, this king will be appointed as the general and prime minister, and he is willing to share it with the world" Before the Yuan Bao Torch finished speaking, Er Zhu Shilong immediately bowed his head and knelt in front of the Yuan Bao Torch.

"Minister, welcome Your Majesty" Erzhu Shilong knelt down at the Yuanbao Torch, on the surface, it seemed to be retreating as an advance, but in fact, it was more about using the Yuanbao Torch to balance the rest of the Erzhu family, of course, Erzhu Shilong also understood that the Yuanbao Torch would never be easily submissive to him, so he slowly got up, walked to the Yuanbao Torch, and said softly beside the Yuanbao Torch:

"Your little cleverness is of some use, but don't be smart and be mistaken by cleverness" said that, Erzhu Shilong left...

Yuan Bao Torch was still standing alone in front of Emperor Zhuang's mausoleum, he staggered with a wine glass and continued to drink, Yuan Song saw Er Zhu Shilong leaving, and quickly rushed to Yuan Bao Torch.

"Childe, why didn't Shicai kill him directly, what a good time!"

"The timing, now, what the right time is. My ingot torch was born noble, how could I have believed in fate, even if the sky is not with me, I have to create my own way. ”

Say it! The ingot torch slammed down the wine bottle, and the wine in the bottle was scattered wildly, and at this moment, the ingot torch suddenly thought of an idea, that is, to make the water of the current situation more chaotic, and then you can fish in troubled waters.

As we all know, this is a complete game, since the death of Er Zhu Rong, the rest of the Erzhu family, has broken up, Er Zhu Zhao in the hands of Er Zhu Shilong first supported the Guangling Wang Yuangong, obviously the family is dominant, and Er Zhu Shilong, who has worked hard around Er Zhu Rong for many years, naturally does not want to be crushed by Er Zhu Zhao, a short-tempered nephew. Therefore, at this moment, he urgently needs someone who can share Zhu Zhao's pie for him. This person must also have royal blood, and he also wants to crowd a puppet emperor to control the regime like Er Zhu Zhao.

Yuan Bao Ju glanced at Er Zhu Shilong, he knew in his heart that now was definitely not the right time for him to show his ambitions, but for the ambition and ambition in Yuan Bao Ju's mind to compete in the Central Plains, there was no weakening in the slightest. The conditions given by Erzhu Shilong are certainly tempting, but he also knows that Erzhu Shilong can be a traitor but not a hero.
