The boy was stabbed through the throat and fell in a pool of blood.

A young man came out of the shadows, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "I just practiced archery and accidentally missed my hand, so it's no wonder that the prince is not surprised." ”

The second prince walked up to the dead young general, bent down and groped in his arms for a while, and found a blank piece of paper.

The white paper was empty and had no content.

After the second prince looked at it over and over again, he crumpled the white paper into a ball and threw it on the ground, looked at the middle-aged man, and said: "We have been running all the way, and it is not easy to come here to help His Royal Highness King Zhou achieve great things, and I hope that the prince will not live up to our hard work." ”

"The king knows."

King Zhou said a word with a calm face, turned around and was about to go back to the room, but suddenly snorted, collapsed to the ground, curled up, and let out a roar in his throat.

The veins on his neck and forehead were bulging, and something was constantly squirming under his skin, and cold sweat instantly wet his clothes.

The middle-aged woman behind the second prince flicked her fingers, and a pill flicked into King Zhou's mouth, and then, his body gradually stopped struggling, and the roar slowly disappeared.

The second prince looked at him and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I forgot to give the prince the antidote today." ”

After he said a word, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "The prince is a smart person, it's best not to play any tricks, you know, without the prince, and the prince, who are we helping or not?" ”

With that, he glanced at King Zhou again and turned to leave.

After a long time after the people left, King Zhou got up from the ground with difficulty, picked up the paper ball, closed the door, slowly moved to the table, and sat down slowly.

He removed the lampshade and brought the paper ball close to the flame, which burned slowly, and under the scorching flame, the handwriting gradually appeared on the paper, and finally turned into ashes under the flames.

King Zhou looked at the ashes on the table, his fists clenched, and in the end he could only sigh lightly.

In the Zhou Palace, the patrolling guards have all been replaced by burly men, although they are dressed and dressed like Han Chinese, the language they occasionally communicate with is a strange syllable.

In the palace of King Zhou, in a certain hall, many generals in armor gathered together and were arguing.

A young general slammed the table and said, "The succession of His Royal Highness King Xin is a good thing for the country and the people, why should you rebel?" ”

Another burly man beside him turned red, and said angrily: "If you want to oppose you, Lao Tzu won't do this, and it's not easy to look forward to today, except for the prince Xin, who else can be the emperor?" ”

The young general stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I don't oppose either!" ”

Burst!

As soon as he finished speaking, his body trembled violently, lowered his head, looked at a sharp knife passing through his chest, turned his head, looked at a man with an indifferent face, and said in disbelief: "General, general......"

The man jerked out his long knife, and the young general gulped out blood and fell to the ground.

The man glanced around and asked, "Who else has any objections?" ”

The burly man's eyes widened, he looked at the man, and muttered, "You, you ......"

He drew his long knife, pointed it at the man, and said in a trembling voice: "In order to rebel, you didn't even care about the love of your robes for many years......

Burst!

Another knife burst out of his chest, with blood on the tip of the knife, and a man with a gloomy face came out and said, "Whoever disobeys the military order will be killed." ”

Two people were killed one after another, and the room finally fell silent.

The man known as the general looked at the crowd and asked again, "What else do you have to say?" ”

After a long silence, one person finally stood up, hesitated for a moment, and said: "We can occupy these five states, it is already through the death of the first emperor, the king of Zhou returned to Beijing to mourn, in order to surprise and take it in one fell swoop, but at this moment the news has been spread, all the state capitals have been prepared, in this case, only with our men and horses, we can not break through any state city, not to mention, the neighboring states must have begun to concentrate troops and horses, and when the reinforcements of the imperial court converge with them, we will definitely be defeated!" ”

The man's face was calm, he naturally knew that the rebellion would not succeed, but if he didn't rebel, he would die now, and the feeling that life was worse than death was more terrible than death.

He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to live better than die.

He glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "King Xin's great rebellion, plotting to kill the first emperor, seizing the dynasty and usurping the throne, committing the crime of common anger of people and gods, everyone will be punished, in order to help the main room, although he will not regret death!" ”

"I don't regret dying."

"I don't regret ...... death"

"I don't regret dying!"

……

The blood under the two corpses that fell to the ground was still spreading, and everyone looked at the bloodshot long knife in the man's hand, and spoke one after another, but the voice was not so confident.

When everyone in the room retreated, a figure came out from behind, looked at the man, and nodded, "Good job." ”

The man looked at him and asked, "Can you give me the antidote?" ”

The second prince threw him a small porcelain vase and said, "This is the antidote for three days." ”

The man had an antidote, glanced at him, turned and strode away.

The second prince tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "The Han people are all greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

The middle-aged woman walked out from behind him and said lightly: "There are people everywhere who are greedy for life and afraid of death, there are Han people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are many Han people who are not afraid of life and death." ”

The second prince arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry, this king forgot that Master Gongsun is also Han. ”

The middle-aged woman didn't speak again, but the second prince sighed and said: "This trip to the Chu State can be described as a complete failure, none of the tasks before the departure were completed, and they could only create some trouble for them on the return trip, but they didn't expect that the prestige of King Xin was so great, if it weren't for Master Gongsun's presence, I am afraid that even a state of land would not be able to be occupied." ”

The middle-aged woman said: "At the longest month, the rebellion will definitely be suppressed, and the second prince should make plans early, so as not to be able to retreat when the time comes." ”

The second prince nodded and said: "Master Gongsun, don't worry, if this king can't get out of the way, won't he be cheaper for nothing, Brother Wang, even if this thing can't be successful, but it also disturbs the situation in the Chu State, it's not that there is ......no gain at all."

He paced in the hall, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said, "I'm afraid that the court of Chu won't be able to guess if it dies, we will bypass Kyoto and come to the south......"

……

Since he ate a bite of noodles in the old woman's shop two days ago, Tang Ning didn't put a drop of vinegar in the next two meals.

He stood under the porch, stretched out his hand and grabbed the whip that Zhao Man accidentally threw over, Zhao Man hurriedly ran over, and said with concern: "Are you okay, I didn't mean to......"

"It's fine." Tang Ning waved his hand, looked at Wan Yan Yan, and said casually: "If you want to become more powerful, it's best to change to a weapon, if you only use a whip, it will be difficult to make progress." ”

Wan Yan Yan has actually realized that although her whip is easy to use, when she encounters more powerful people, not only does it have no effect, but it has also become a burden, and she has also thought about whether to change her weapon.

Zhao Man had been coveting Yan Yan's whip for a long time, and immediately said, "You changed your weapon, can you give me this whip?" ”

Wan Yan Yan immediately took back her whip and said, "Don't send it." ”

"Stingy." Zhao Man glanced at her and said, "Your clothes and jewelry are still given to you by me." ”

Wan Yan Yan glanced at her lips and said, "Then I'll give it back to you." ”

She had already borrowed a thousand taels of silver from Tang Ning and bought a lot of clothes and jewelry she liked, although she was not as good-looking as Zhao Man, but she didn't want to give her her beloved whip.

"Okay." Zhao Man looked at her and said, "Your belly pocket is also mine, don't forget to return it together......"

"Just pay it back!" After Yan Yan stretched out her hand to undress, she looked at Tang Ning again, and was about to walk into the room.

"Forget it." Zhao Man waved his hand and said, "I'm not as stingy as you, what I send out is yours......

After that, Yan Yan walked back again, handed her the whip, and said, "I'll borrow you to play for two days." ”

Although Wan Yan Yan and Zhao Man have a big difference in personality, they are of the same age and have similar identities, and they get along quite happily these days.

Chen Zhou walked in from outside, walked up to him, and said, "My lord." ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Zhou glanced at Zhao Man and Wan Yan Yan in the courtyard, then looked outside again, squeezed his eyes at him, pouted again, and looked outside again.

The implication of these movements is obvious, Tang Ning walked outside suspiciously, turned his head and looked around, and saw Li Tianlan standing by the lake not far away.
