When Chen Zhen returned to the Assassin's Mansion, it was already night.

After Chen Zhen first sent someone to pass on the affairs of Yingdu and the message of the King of Chu to Ling Yin Zhaoju, he then found his subordinates and asked, "Su Dai, are they still in the city now?" ”

"After, since we discovered their tracks by monitoring the ministers two days ago, we have been sending people to stare at them, and there is no doubt that they are still in Yingdu." The subordinate said, paused, and reported: "Assassin Shi Ling, just when Shi Ling was in the palace, our spies have found out that the sword that was sent to Ling Yin's mansion not long ago is the sword of the Korean Zhang Ping. However, we still haven't found out who is the mastermind of this. ”

"Okay, good job." Chen Zhen nodded, and then ordered: "Send more people to monitor them, in addition, notify the chivalrous commander of the Mo family, let them transfer three teams of rangers, and immediately set off to the Chu State to ambush on the road to the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei, as long as they receive news from us, they will immediately ambush Feng Xi, Zhang Ping, and Zhai Zhang." ”

The subordinate officer was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Assassin Shiling, now that the three of them are in Yingdu and are still under our control, why don't you directly send soldiers to capture them now, but instead send assassins to ambush them halfway." ”

Chen Zhen shook his head and said, "This is to let Su Dai go." ”

"Let Sudai go?"

"Not bad." Chen Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "The spies of the four countries came to Chu, but only Su Dai returned to China safely, what does this make the other three countries think." Of course, no matter what the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei think, we will send people to the three kingdoms to spread rumors.

It is said that Su Dai was greedy for life and afraid of death, in order to be able to support himself from the Chu State, in order to show his loyalty to the King of Qi, and in order to show that he had fled from the Chu State after a lot of hardships, he deliberately betrayed the whereabouts of the secret envoys of the Three Kingdoms to the Chu people. ”

"The meaning of the Assassin is to divide the relationship between the Qi Kingdom and the other three kingdoms."

"Hmm." Chen Zhen nodded, and then cast his gaze into the deep night.

His purpose in doing this was to drive a wedge between Qi and the Three Kingdoms, but the more important purpose was to break the relationship between the Su Dynasty and the other Three Kingdoms, so that the Su Dynasty could not gain a foothold in the Three Kingdoms, let alone obtain the support of the Three Kingdoms.

Of course, he didn't have to talk about it to others.

The next day, the four Su Dai, who had already learned that Zhao Yi had committed suicide, saw that the plan to get rid of Zhao Ju had been successfully implemented and had achieved initial success, plus they could no longer continue to add fuel to the fire, and whether they could successfully get rid of Zhao Ju could only be left to fate.

Therefore, when there was no longer any need to stay in Yingdu, the four of them left Yingdu on the same day and returned to China.

Among them, Su Dai's return route was different from the other three, it was to return to Qi through the fast waterway, so after Su Dai and the three separated, he went out of the south gate and went to the river to take a boat.

Su Dai got on the boat and walked about sixty or seventy miles downstream, when he was stopped by a group of Chu naval division warships.

At this time, Chen Zhen stood at the bow of the boat, and after seeing Su Dai's boat stopping, he laughed and said: "Su Zi, the old man is visiting, please come out to see him." ”

In the cabin, Su Dai first learned that the ship was intercepted by the Chu army, and then heard Chen Zhen's voice, and immediately knew that he had fallen into the hands of the Chu people.

It's just that Su Dai is a little strange that looking at the posture of the Chu people, his whereabouts should have been known by the Chu people a long time ago, but the Chu people did not arrest him when they were in Yingdu or the ferry, but intercepted him on the river.

That's a little weird.

Thinking about it, Su Dai walked out of the cabin with a gloomy face, and after seeing Chen Zhen not far away, he resigned himself to his fate: "Assassin Shi Ling, but he came to arrest me?" ”

Chen Zhen shook his head with a smile and said: "Su Zi said that he was joking, Su Zi is a famous sage in the world, and he is also an important minister of Qi State, although Qi and Chu have bad relations, but the king of Chu can't do this kind of thing to intercept the sage." ”

As he spoke, Chen Zhen saw that Su Dai was still looking at him with indifferent and suspicious eyes, and then said: "Su Zi, the widow heard that Su Zi came without telling him, and heard that Su Zi said goodbye without saying goodbye, thinking that there was something inconsiderate about the Chu State, so the widow sent a special envoy to see Su Zi off. ”

After speaking, Chen Zhen raised his hand and invited: "Suzi, I have prepared a thin wine below, and I also invite Suzi to appreciate it." ”

When Su Dai heard this, he looked at Chen Zhen with a sincere face, and then looked at the Chu army warships surrounding him, so he bowed his hand and said: "It is an honor to assassinate Shi Ling to invite." ”

In the Chu boat, after being full of wine and food, Su Dai looked at Chen Zhen and said with a smile: "Assassin Shi Ling stopped him, he really just wanted to invite him to eat." ”

"Of course not." Chen Zhen shook his head and said with a smile: "The widow admires Mr. talent, so I hope to be friends with Mr. ”

"Friends?" Su Dai remembered what he had done in Yingdu not long ago, how could the King of Chu want to be friends with him.

Seeing Su Dai hesitantly looking over, Chen Zhen immediately explained: "The widow army heard that Mr. has won the trust of the King of Qi in the Qi State, so the widow hopes that after Mr. returns to China, he can say a word for the Chu State in front of the King of Qi and ease the contradictions between the two countries of Qi and Chu." ”

Saying that, Chen Zhen arched his hand and said: "If the two countries of Qi and Chu are friendly, the widow is willing to thank each other with a thousand gold." ”

"Daughter!" Su Dai's heart was shocked, he knew why the King of Chu wanted to befriend him, it turned out that he was worried that the Qi State would continue to attack the Chu State.

After knowing the appeal of the state of Chu, Su Dai suddenly felt that he was confident, even if the king of Chu knew that he was fanning the flames and stirring up the wind and rain in Yingdu, he still wanted to befriend him.

This shows that the Chu State suffered great losses in the previous war, and it very much does not want the Qi State to continue to lead the countries to besiege the Chu State.

Thinking about it, Su Dai laughed and said, "It is also an honor to be able to serve the King of Chu." Please assassinate Shi Ling to reply to the King of Chu, and he will definitely help in the future. ”

When Chen Zhen heard this, he laughed and said, "So there will be Lao Suzi." In order to show the sincerity of the widow, the widow is willing to use 500 gold as the cost of the gentleman's carriage and horses, of course, when the two countries of Qi and Chu are reconciled, the promised daughter is also valid. ”

When Su Dai heard that he could get five hundred gold before he did something, his heart was hot, and he immediately thanked him: "King Chu is too sincere. ”

Not long after, Chen Zhen stood at the bow of the ship and watched Su Dai's ship disappear into the distance, and instructed to the left and right: "Summon, immediately send someone to tell Lu Li, the minister of Qi, that Su Dai is greedy for ink and the King of Qi gave him the fee to buy the minister of Chu, more than five hundred gold." ”

"No."

"Summons, spread rumors in the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei, saying that Su Dai accepted a bribe of five hundred gold from the state of Chu, and then betrayed the whereabouts of the envoys of the three kingdoms."

"No."

······

Juyang.

"Ling Yin, just now there was a person outside the mansion who said that he was a friend of Ling Yin, and he sent two gifts to Ling Yin, and that person said that as long as Ling Yin saw the gifts, he would know what he meant."

"Gifts, bring gifts." Zhao Ju thought it was just an ordinary exchange of gifts, so he responded disapprerovitously.

Soon, the two gifts were delivered, and Zhao Ju opened the gift box to take a look, but saw that the small box contained a piece of exquisite jade, and the long box contained a sword.

Seeing such two obvious things, how could Zhao Ju not know what the person who gave the gift was, which was clearly to persuade him to kill himself.

Although he has long known that if he did not commit suicide according to tradition after the defeat, there will definitely be a lot of criticism, but as long as the king of Chu trusts him, as long as he can fight a beautiful turnaround battle like Jingshe at the beginning, he will block the mouths of the countrymen.

But he never expected that someone would send the sword directly to him now, because he was afraid that he would not die.

Zhao Ju scolded ashamedly and angrily: "It's too much to deceive people. ”

Zhao Ju scolded, and then looked in the direction of Yingdu with a little horror.

Even he, who was far away from the whirlpool of Yingdu, was blessed with a sword and jade, not to mention Yingdu, where there must be a big wave now.

Just as Zhao Ju was looking, another soldier came in and reported: "Ling Yin, someone outside the door has given Ling Yin a gift." ”

Gifts?

The corners of Zhao Ju's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Bring the gift in." ”

"No."

Soon, Zhao Ju opened the gift box and looked at it, and sure enough, it contained a sword.

"Ling Yin..."

In a short time, Zhao Ju received seven swords and five pieces of beautiful jade.

Just when Zhao Ju was ashamed and angry, and his whole face was about to be deformed, he saw another member of the general walking in quickly.

Seeing this, Zhao Ju said angrily: "Is there someone who has come to give gifts again, bring the gifts, this Ling Yin wants to see how many people will come to give gifts today." ”

The general was stunned for a moment, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Ling Yin, it's not someone who gave a gift, it's the king's messenger who has arrived." ”

"The King..." Zhao Ju was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, he swallowed his saliva, and replied in horror: "Please messenger." ”

"No."

Soon.

The messenger came to Zhao Ju and handed him two letters:

"Ling Yin, the king has a message to Ling Yin, please check it out."

When Zhao Ju heard this, he took the letter with trembling hands, but saw that one of them was a letter written by the king of Chu, and Ning was an official document.

Zhao Ju hesitated in his heart, and then opened the letter of the king of Chu tremblingly, but saw that it was written: Please make Yin Jiewai, the widow wants to use the entire Qi country to avenge Ling Yin.

Zhao Ju was stunned, didn't know why, thought about it, and quickly unfolded the official document to take a look.

Just glanced at it, and when Zhao Ju saw that all his sons and grandchildren died tragically, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out. Then, when Zhao Ju finished reading the content of the official document, he understood what King Chu just said.

Then, Zhao Ju held the official document tightly with both hands, and then there was a fierce light in his eyes, and he looked in the direction of Qi and said: "What a king of Qi, if you plot against me so much, and want to put me to death, then you will not die." ”

At this time, a soldier came over and arched his hand: "Ling Yin, the king has sent three gifts to Ling Yin." ”

"Three gifts?" Zhao Ju was stunned.

Soon, Zhao Ju opened the gift from the king of Chu and saw that it was three heads.

Seeing this, Zhao Ju hurriedly thanked: "King Xie avenges his ministers." ”

At this time, another soldier walked in: "Ling Yin, someone has given Ling Yin a gift." ”

When Zhao Ju heard this anonymous gift-giver, his face suddenly sank.

Needless to say, he knew what was being sent.

However, now he still thinks that there is less sword and jade.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju responded gloomily: "Bring the gifts in, and if there are still people who give gifts next, then accept them all, this order Yin wants to see how many swords and beautiful jade will be received today..."
