Chapter 223: The Pursuit
King Chung's bed
Ignoring Yuan Sheng's praise, King Zhong looked at this thin man from the Western Zhou Dynasty with a gloomy look, and said in a hoarse voice.
"The king will consider what you mention, but if you want the king to make a move, you have to let me see your sincerity."
Yuan Sheng frowned, and asked, "What does the prince want us to do." ”
King Zhong's eyes flickered, and he said with a sinister and cunning smile: "Your Majesty has three sons, the third prince King Jing, the fourth prince Duanwang, and the fifth prince Fuwang.
If your kingdom can help me get rid of these two nephews, this king will believe in your sincerity, and cooperation will be logical. ”
"The prince thinks too highly of Yuan."
Yuan Sheng smiled bitterly and sighed: "The prince and prince of a country, how precious, there are countless masters of the entourage, how can you kill it, if I have this ability, how can I use the old decay to come to the enemy camp to sue for peace, and go directly to your country to assassinate Kyoto." ”
King Zhong shook his head and said impatiently: "This king didn't say that you should go directly to the important town of the Great Jin Dynasty to forcibly kill people, and I will create a suitable opportunity for you." ”
Yuan Sheng's eyes narrowed: "The prince means ........."
King Zhong smiled slightly: "Now, King Duan and King Jing are both on the front line, although they are in the General Pass, they are also easier to control than the capital, just wait for this king to find an opportunity to let them leave the heavy camp and go out, then it is a good time for you to do it." ”
…………
"This ........."
Yuan Sheng pondered for a while, a little embarrassed: "This plan is too rough, the assassination of the prince is extraordinary, once something goes wrong, then the peace talks will be completely hopeless, the stakes are very high, and I dare not make a decision." ”
"Whatever."
King Zhong glanced at Yuan Sheng, and snorted indifferently: "You shouldn't be this king, this king thinks that you have no sincere cooperation, and you don't want this king to help you in peace talks, on the contrary, this king will make trouble for you, so that you can't negotiate peace." ”
Hey, with such rhetoric, how can he look like a prince of a country, he is simply a scoundrel on the street............
Yuan Sheng's eyes flashed with anger, but he still endured it, and bowed his hand and said: "Don't worry, the prince can't be the master of this matter, and I will reply to you after the two marshals of the old man Ming Ji and Ning." ”
King Zhong raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Sheng, smiled slightly, and spit out a word.
"Yes."
"The old man took his leave first."
When Yuan Sheng heard this, he bowed to King Zhong, put on his cloak, and walked out of the tent with his head down.
Not long after Yuan Sheng left, Yan Chong, who had just been scolded by King Zhong, quietly appeared in King Zhong's bed.
"Lord Wang, we really want to cooperate with the Western Zhou, this is a big disapproval of the world, in case it is known, I am afraid that it will damage the prestige of the prince."
King Zhong looked at this master who was struggling to be enveloped, his eyes were a little impatient, but he still explained.
"Today's secret discussion, there is no evidence, the king and the Western Zhou sides act according to the tacit understanding, that side should be ordered, the success is gratifying, it should not be or fail, and it is not hindered by the king.
As for the peace talks, the current situation is like this, do you think that there is no such voice in the imperial court, circling with Yuan Sheng, it is just one more way, rest assured, the imperial brother is in good health, and it is not yet the time for this king to exert his strength. ”
…………
After listening to it, Yan Zhong also understood that King Zhong had his own charter in his heart, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he arched his hand and respectfully asked for instructions.
"What should we do with the eavesdroppers today? Leave it alone or send someone to track it down. ”
Mentioning this matter, King Zhong raised his spirit slightly: "That person is really so capable, you can't keep him even if you wait for a hundred people to bring bows and crossbows?" ”
When Yan Chong heard this, his face was a little confused, and he said with emotion: "Don't dare to deceive the prince, my subordinates have been wandering in the green forest for decades, and they have seen countless masters, but those who can beat this person's martial arts today are definitely no more than double ten."
Lord Wang, this person's swordsmanship is so high, he can be called the top master of the green forest, there is such a master who spies on your sleeping tent late at night, and his subordinates think that there must be something strange in it, you say, will it have something to do with the Zhou envoy coming here........."
Don't blame Yan Chong for thinking too much, it's really a coincidence that Gong Zhiyuan appeared, so he can't help but connect the two together.
"Are you guessing that someone knows that the Zhou envoy secretly came to this king tonight?"
Hearing Yan Chong's analysis, King Zhong couldn't sit still, although he had said that he was not afraid of the news before, but after all, this matter was very important, if he could, King Zhong didn't want to make a fuss.
"The subordinates believe that although the prince is popular in Kyoto...... is unsatisfactory, but there are not many enemies, and most of the family backgrounds should not be able to use such masters.
Therefore, the subordinates felt that the people who snooped on the dormitory today were very likely to be people from Long Xiaoxiao, and only they had the motive to send such a green forest master to spy on them. ”
"Impossible."
King Zhong was so frightened that cold sweat came out, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Who is Long Xiao School?
The Son of Heaven's personal guard, the royal eagle dog, and the most loyal intelligence agency to Emperor Liyang!
As Emperor Liyang's younger brother, he knows better than many people Emperor Liyang's trust in Long Xiaoxiao.
If he and Yuan Sheng's words were reported to Emperor Liyang by someone else, then in the absence of evidence, King Zhong can be said to be framed by a villain.
As his own brother, King Zhong believed that Emperor Liyang would be on his side.
But if it is Long Xiaoxiao's report, it is not necessarily, it is Emperor Liyang's supervision of the world, his military achievements are impressive, and he is very trusted by the emperor, and he said that the loyal king has different intentions, even if the Liyang Emperor does not believe it, he has to secretly mutter, and even suspect the loyal king.
A prince is suspicious of the emperor, so there is no need to say much about what happened to him............
King Chung finally panicked.
…………
"You just said that the man was hit by two darts from you and was injured?"
After a moment of silence, King Chung finally raised his head and asked Yan Zhong with red eyes.
Yan Chong's face was serious: "Yes, although it is not fatal, it is also an unusual minor injury, this person's combat strength will inevitably decline, as long as he is surrounded and killed again, his person will die." ”
"Can you find him?"
"After this person broke through, he did not stay in the barracks, but fled far away, and his subordinates sent people to follow him, he was wounded, and he did not escape quickly, although we did not fully grasp his whereabouts, but there was a general direction.
Bring more manpower, expand the range of tracking, and have a great hope of winning it. ”
"Good."
King Zhong nodded, got up and went to the desk, opened a secret compartment and took out a jade plaque, and handed it to Yan Chong.
"You take this jade plate, go to General Wu, transfer a thousand soldiers and horses, carry bows and crossbows, and do everything possible to kill this person to this king, remember, I am going to die, and the body will be brought back to this king."
Yan nodded heavily: "My subordinates understand." ”
……
Two hours later
News came from King Zhong's tent that there was a guard in King Zhong's mansion who fled after stealing a treasure from King Zhong, and King Zhong sent the guard commander Yan Zhong to lead a thousand soldiers and pursue him overnight...............
