Zhongli fled and did not return to the craftsman. According to the guard defense of the memory in his mind, he quietly hides along the weak point of the manufacturing prison! As for escaping, you need to wait until the dead of night to find a chance, otherwise you will die immediately without a place to bury yourself! For Fan Yuqi, the most indispensable thing to be on the run for nearly half a year is patience!

The hidden place of Fan Yuzhi is a wooded place in the craftsman's house, and few people usually come. Several waves of searchers took a cursory look and then turned to other places, but did not find Zhong Liyi's hiding place. When the ink came, Fan Yuzhi was about to look for an opportunity to escape, but saw Tian Zhen returning. He was followed by several Assassins, who carried the artisans they had called during the day. It's just that now those craftsmen have been turned into corpses.

Zhong Liyi secretly said that it was dangerous, and quietly returned to the darkness to observe a few people. Fan Yuzhi secretly rejoiced in his heart, if he hadn't been alert and witty during the day, he might have become one of them now.

The Assassins carried the artisan into the grass and began digging a pit.

No need to ask, this is going to bury the corpse! Zhongli looked around at the lush trees around him and couldn't help but shudder. No wonder the vegetation in this place grows extraordinarily luxuriantly, and I don't know how many nameless corpses are buried underground, so these trees are so lush!

"Thank you seniors for taking care of you!" Zhong Liyi secretly prayed three times in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that this piece of grass and trees had been exposed, it would have been all thanks to the blessing of the predecessors!

Waiting patiently, I only heard Tian Zhen say to a few assassins: "The coffin hides the weapons, and after entering the palace, we can take it out and suddenly attack while Chun Shenjun is unprepared." Now there is that group of carpenters dancing swords, although Chun Shenjun sent people to monitor us and others, he couldn't find out that there was fraud in it for a while. Rest assured, we will definitely be able to make a contribution this time! ”

The events that happened in the palace of the King of Chu were vividly in his mind, and Zhong Liyi's mind felt like a loud bang, and he finally understood the reason.

Zhong Liyi was secretly frightened, but he didn't expect to be involved in the murder of the monarch in the end. Li Yuan's ghost is not gone, is this a fixed number in the dark, and you need to live and die with Li Yuan?

You are unkind to me, since you want to kill me, then I will kill you first!

Zhong Liyi made a decision with hatred in his heart.

After a while, Li Yuan disposed of the corpse and returned, and Zhong Liyi did not dare to delay and fled immediately. Thanks to the recuperation of the Chu Palace, Zhong Liyi's body has fully recovered, and he has even made a lot of progress. Walking like the wind without losing agility. No one noticed the craftsman's mansion, and Zhong Liyi climbed a big tree to look.

At the same time, outside the backyard of the prison house, Su Ying hid in a corner where no one was paying attention, quietly observing.

Suddenly, in the field of vision, a person appeared on a large tree inside the wall. He sprang up to the branch like a cat, and the thief slid around, stepping on the wall by a branch while no one was noticing, and jumped out of the courtyard wall.

"Interesting!" Seeing someone coming out of the wall, Su Ying's heart was filled with joy and instantly came to her senses. When it was really sleepy and met the pillow! Su Ying couldn't find anything unusual when he monitored the Li Mansion, and slipped out of the backyard to prepare to sneak into the mansion to observe, not wanting to see this scene just in time.

It's a good person, why don't you go through the door! There must be ghosts here!

Su Ying secretly guessed in her heart whether it was an ordinary thief or Li Yuan's people, or was it Chun Shenjun's secret agent who heard something and slipped out to report Chun Shenjun?

Anyway, if you don't go to the main gate, you must have a ghost in your heart, so let's go and see it first! ”

The person who climbed out of the courtyard wall was Zhong Liyi, and Zhong Liyi didn't notice that he was following a tail behind him and walked towards a crowded place.

Zhong Liyi's purpose is Chun Shenjun!

If you want to kill Li Yuan, now only Chun Shenjun in the Chu State has the strength and reason!

However, Zhong Liyi was not familiar with the place and did not know where Chun Shenjun lived at all. Fortunately, Chun Shenjun was prominent in the dynasty, and Ying knew that there were not a few people in his residence. After inquiring about someone, he went straight to Chunshenjun's mansion according to the instructions.

The more Su Ying followed behind, the more weird his expression became.

Su Ying often goes in and out of Ling Yin's Mansion, and is very familiar with the way to Ling Yin's Mansion, and then follows Su Ying to have a familiar feeling!

"Could it really be Chun Shenjun's spies who came to tell the news? No, I'll have to intercept the message first! ”

Without waiting for Ling Yin's mansion, Zhu Ying quietly approached Zhong Liyi and put her long sword against Zhong Liyi's back!

Zhong Liyi froze in his heart, took a deep breath and said: "Friend, I'm just a passerby, why are you blocking my way, if it's money, I'm penniless now, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person!" ”

Zhu Ying chuckled and teased: "Passers-by will climb out of the wall of the craftsman's prison?" ”

"I'm being followed!" Zhong Liyi was startled, and then relieved.

"He's not from Li Yuan! If it is Li Yuan's person, if he wants to start, it is the best opportunity before the craftsman is in prison. At this time, Zou Ran made a difficulty, and there should be another purpose! ”

Zhong Liyi calmed down when he understood the connection, and said with a cold face: "I have important news to tell Ling Yichun Shenjun!" ”

"What news is so important to say and listen, you tell me directly, if it is really important, I will naturally tell the adult!"

"No, since it's major news, of course I can't tell you, you're not qualified to know! You go find someone who can call the shots! ”

"What do you say? How do I know if you're a liar or not! Aren't you afraid that I will kill you with a sword? ”

"I advise you to be careful, if your hand shakes, of course I will die, and your master will die with you! If you want to kill me, there is a chance in front of the house, and if you don't kill me, it means that you know that Lord Yin is in danger. And I know there's a dangerous source out there! ”

Su Ying smiled disdainfully, as if she didn't care what Zhong Liyi knew, and said, "You escaped from Li Yuan, do you still need to ask about the source of the danger?" ”

Those who knew about Li Yuan's backyard had been wiped out, and only Li Yuan and a few chamberlains knew about Poria in the palace, and it was even more impossible for Ying Ying to know. Zhong Liyi suddenly woke up: if he can be sure, why should he ask! Since it wasn't confirmed, it must be because he didn't know Li Yuan's specific arrangements! Tracking can only be when you go over the wall!

Zhong Liyi recalled that he was not exposed, and said confidently: "Ming people don't say secret words, I think although you have some guesses, you are not sure to convince Lord Ling Yin, otherwise why bring me here?" ”

Su Ying was thought about by a word, not only did she not get angry, but she must be in her heart: I'm afraid you don't know!

"You'd better have a reason to convince the adults, otherwise no one will be able to save you!!"

After saying that, she didn't delay, and immediately went to the backyard to report to Chun Shenjun, but Chun Shenjun had already entered the palace.

The two of them were shocked: it's late!

Zhong Liyi hurriedly said: "Let's escape!" Once Li Yuan succeeds, he will definitely hunt down and kill us! ”

Zhu Ying said: "Escape? That Li Yuan has already blocked the city gate, and we can't escape! I'm afraid I have been preparing for this moment for a long time! ”

"So what do we do?"

"Since you can't escape, find a strong backer!"

"Who is it?"

"Xiang's!"

The Xiang clan is from the Chu State clan, and it is also second to none among the three families of the Chu State, Zhong Liyi thought deeply when he heard this, and immediately turned to Xiang Mansion!

When the two came, Xiang Yan discussed the matter of burying the king of Chu, and when he saw Su Ying coming in, he asked, "Yan Ying, what are you doing here?" But what happened? ”

"Maharaja, I have important news to report!"

Xiang Yan, the patriarch of the Xiang clan, smiled: "Oh, what news is so important!" ”

Kan Ying didn't dare to say that I didn't know yet, so she beckoned to Zhong Liyi: "Let's let him talk!" ”

The two looked at Zhong Liyi, and Zhong Liyi said: "Lord Qiyu, Lord Zuo Disciple hid the weapon and armor in the coffin of the King of Chu, and ordered the assassin in the palace to pretend to be a man to carry the coffin into the palace, and wanted to assassinate Lord Yin when he entered the palace..."

"Vertical Zier dare!"

Without waiting for Zhong Liyi to finish speaking, Xiang Yan understood the general situation, and instantly smashed his palm on the case in anger, causing the case to fall apart!

"Shhh

Su Ying gasped and said, "What a poisonous plan." Hide it from almost everyone!! ”

Xiang Yan said: "This white-eyed wolf actually harbors evil intentions, it really deserves to be punished!" "Pass my order and immediately gather people to enter the palace!"

Hearing this, Zhong Liyi hurriedly dissuaded: "Wait, Maharaja! This is absolutely unacceptable! ”

"Wait!" Xiang Yan almost lost his mind in a fit of rage just now, and suddenly realized that something was wrong as soon as he commanded. Hearing Zhong Liyi's suggestion, he waved his hand and shouted to the herald and asked Zhong Liyi, "Why is this?" ”

Zhong Liyi said: "The assassin assassin in Li Yuan's mansion has already entered the palace, and Chun Shenjun has also entered the palace, I am afraid that we have already suffered at this time, and it is difficult for us to fight back to ensure that Li Yuan will detect that something is wrong." There is still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace, once Li Yuangou jumps off the wall and holds His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hostage, it will not be good! The Maharaja should first send someone into the palace to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then ask for the palace! Since Li Yuan has already entered the urn, he will fly south with wings, and he is not in a hurry for this moment! ”

"That's right!" Xiang Yan said to Chu General Jingyang: "Let He Qi go to the palace to see the Queen Mother, and say that the sacrificial wine wants to teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the etiquette of sacrificing to the sky, and protect the prince after taking him out." We'll figure it out later! ”

"No!" After Jingyang left, Xiang Yan saluted Zhong Liyi and said, "If it weren't for your timely reminder, I almost missed a big event!" ”

Liyi turned sideways and returned the salute: "My lord, the blessings are all over the sky, and the grass people don't dare to take credit!"

"Merit is merit, and passing is passing! The rewards and punishments are unknown, and they are not sure how to make them! If everyone were like you, who would serve me equally! ”

Zhong Liyi heard the words and said: "What the Great Monarch has taught is that the grass people are ashamed!" ”

However, Zhong Liyi's heart was full of slander: "I want to clean up the life-saving grace with a ceremony, and I think of beauty!" ”

Although Xiang Yan didn't hear Zhong Liyi's heart, he had commanded the army of Chu for many years, so how could he not know the severity. It's just that Li Yuan, who has always been respectful, betrayed him, which made Chun Shenjun a little jealous. Zhong Liyi is not very old, and when he found out that Li Yuan's plan could be said to be a coincidence, he could see the loopholes in the order at a glance in his eagerness, which was a matter of vision and resourcefulness! Of course, such a talent must be co-opted into his hands, but to tie the dog to the neck, you must first find Zhong Liyi's weakness.

Thinking of this, Chun Shenjun showed a kind smile and said, "Can a strong man have a name?" But I'm from the Chu State? ”

"Lord Lord, grass people..."

"Huh~ If you have made great contributions, you will inevitably be ranked in the court, so you don't have to call yourself a god and a grass people, you have to be a minister!"

"Yes! The minister is a Lu person, and now the Lu country has returned to Chu, and he is also a Chu person. Due to the spring famine, he entered Yingdu to serve on behalf of his father. When he was in the craftsman camp, he was ordered to place a coffin for the king, and only then did he discover the plan of Lord Zuo. ”

"Oh~" Xiang Yan said with a long laugh: "That's my own person!" In that year, the Six Kingdoms were unfortunately defeated by Qin, and on the way back to the division, General Jing destroyed the Lu State. Ludi will be under the rule of my Great Chu, and Lanling Lingxun is Chun Shenjun personally accepted his fate! Since you are a person from the Lu State, you should have heard of it, speaking of which, Lanling also has a fief of my Xiang clan, and you have long been a citizen under my rule! In that case, I should have ordered someone to take care of your family..."

It's better to take care than to control! Being able to serve on behalf of his father shows that Zhong Liyi is a filial son, and his parents who control him are not afraid that he will run out of the palm of his hand! Xiang Yan thought very well, but Zhong Liyi didn't know it well! Xiang Yan's intentional control shows that his trust is limited, and the real reason for the death of the King of Chu may not be able to be said! It's just that if it weren't for the fact that his parents had already died in the war, how could he have been exiled to the Six Kingdoms and was captured by the Qin State and become a servant! Zhong Liyi was anxious to cover up: "Alas, my family fled from the wilderness during the great wilderness, and now they are nowhere to be found, but they can't see anyone alive or dead..."

Zhong Liyi said that red tears welled up in his eyes, and Xiang Yan sighed: "It's a pity! In this case, you will enter my Chu army to work hard! Now that the nations are fighting, it is the time to make meritorious contributions, and when you have a reputation and marry a few wives and concubines, the family will always prosper again! ”

Zhong Li cried and kowtowed for a while, Xiang Yan said: "I see that you are tall, a person with a strong style, and you can only make contributions when you develop in the army, you go down first to calm down your emotions, and I will ask someone to arrange for you to join the army in a while!" ”

"Thank you, Dajun!" Zhong Liyi bowed three more times before leaving.

Xiang Yan said to Zhu Ying at this time: "You tell me the ins and outs of the matter, and I'll sort it out!" ”

"Yes, Maharaja!" Zhu Ying said what she knew in detail, and Xiang Yan frowned and thought about the stakes.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying suggested: "Lord, the minister thinks that we shouldn't interfere now!" ”

"Oh~ Why is that?"

Zhu Ying said: "Chunshen Jun is powerful and deep-rooted, which may not be a good thing for my Chu State!" He is a scholar of the Six Kingdoms, and suppressing the court and the clan of my Chu State will inevitably be subject to him. Even if Li Yuan gains power, his foundation is not strong, and he needs to rely on the people of my clan. Compared with the two, Li Yuan killed Chun Shenjun, but in fact, the real gainers were the Dajun and the Xiang clan! We might as well wait for Li Yuan to clean up after the incident, and we can still win a lot of shares! ”

Xiang Yan's face was uncertain when he heard this, and he glanced at him with concern, as if he had thought of a plan, and said after a long time: "I will consider this matter, and the person I am worried about is not inside but outside!" ”

Zhu Ying's heart moved and asked, "You mean Qin State?" ”

Xiang Yan said: "Not bad! Although my Chu State is now friendly with the Qin State, it is also because we are far away from the Qin State, and once the Qin State takes Han Wei, it will inevitably face my Chu State! In the past, my Chu princess Mi married the King of Qin and was named the Empress Dowager of Huayang, and she is still there. With her, our two countries are naturally worry-free. But the Queen Mother can't hold out for a few years, and she doesn't take care of things now. I'm afraid that the evil is just around the corner. What's more, the king once left a son in the Qin State who was quite favored, and now he has been named Changping Jun, if the Qin State makes Changping Jun return to the country and succeed to the throne, we will be uncomfortable with this! ”

"What does the Maharaja mean?"

"Qin and Chu are good friends, and it is appropriate to get married, so they should inform Qin State, I don't know if you can go to Qin State to report the funeral?"

Su Ying felt a sigh in her heart, and she hadn't figured out the reason yet! Xiang Yan lowered his voice and said, "And... The most important thing to go to Qin is not to report the funeral, but to divide the relationship between Changping Jun and King Qin! ”

"I see!" It dawned on you! Changping Jun of Qin is the son left by King Chu Kaolie when he was a proton in Qin State, and he is now in the prime of life. Fully qualified to inherit the throne of Chu. If he is allowed to return to Chu by the Qin State, with the merits of being a proton in the Qin State for more than 20 years, the possibility of inheriting the throne is extremely high! Changping Jun grew up in the Qin State and became closer to the Qin State, if he relied on the King of Qin to coerce the Chu State, he would have to hand over the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers! Once a new monarch is a person, at that time, the Xiang clan can no longer control the government of the Chu State, and in the future, the Qin State will attack, if Changping Jun will give up the Chu State, the Chu State Sheji will not be guaranteed!

Therefore, whether it is for the sake of Chu or for himself, Xiang Yan will not let Changping Jun return safely!

Sure enough, I only heard Xiang Yan say gloomily: "Discord is only the first choice, if the discord fails, the Qin State allows Changping Jun to return to the country to fight for the king, then kill him halfway and then shirk it to the other six countries." ”

"No!" Zhu Ying should be on an errand and asked, "Then when will we leave?" ”

Xiang Yan said: "You don't have to worry about Li Yuan's affairs, since his plan has been discovered, there is no need to be afraid." What matters now is to send an envoy to the Qin State. You'll leave when you get back! ”

"No!"

Su Ying promised in her mouth, but she felt that something was wrong in her heart! Why did Chun Shenjun bite the two words so hard? Could it be that he has something else to say?

Since you don't want Changping Jun to succeed to the throne, why should you rush to envoy Qin, and wait for the new monarch to succeed to the throne and then send an envoy to Qin, by that time, it is already an established fact that Chu has a monarch, and Changpingjun has nothing to do even if he is qualified to face this situation, isn't it simpler? I'm afraid that the Qin State will lend troops to Changping Jun at any cost, and wave troops to drive straight to Yingdu in the name of succession, in that case, wouldn't it be the danger of the Chu State! Therefore, the Qin State must not be given an excuse!

That's right, excuses!

Suddenly Dawn Awakens!

The immediate envoy to the Qin State is to not give the Qin State an excuse, anyway, as soon as the King of Chu is buried, we will send someone to the Qin State to ask Changping Jun to mourn, and it is the matter of the Qin State that he can't come!

Xiang Yan said that it was important, it was to calculate the time by himself, and the king of Chu would not be buried for more than a month. This time is only enough for Qin and Chu to go back and forth. In this way, if Changping Jun wants to return to Chu, he can only return to the country with a few horses, and even if Changping Jun wants to compete for the throne of Chu King, he is powerless and powerless, and it will be effortless to strangle him!

As for the role of the messenger, I am afraid that it is to deliver the news at a critical moment, so that he has time to discuss countermeasures and prepare!

Chun Shenjun was accompanied by King Chu Kaolie in the Qin State as a hostage, Xiang Yan was very clear about the possible variables, and in order to prevent Changping Jun from succeeding to the throne, he set up a full quadruple insurance, which really did not leak!

After sorting out the clues, Su Ying no longer had any worries and got up and thanked him: "The minister will not disgrace his mission, and he will immediately send the Qin State!" ”
