Chapter 68: Sinister Intentions (1)
Only then did he find out that his stuffy chicken colleague had a mouth no less than himself. He said impatiently: "Okay, you go, you go, but you have to go and come back quickly, you can't leave me here alone." β
His eyes kept staring at Wu Guanliang and disappeared into the night.
Wu Guanliang wants to continue to do things, how can he say to a pound of water? He found bamboo slips overnight and began to write a report letter.
Who to report? Zhuang Jiabei.
He wanted to report to the King of Chu that Zhuang Ji had kidnapped Princess Jingyin, the treasure of Chu.
King Daxiang is searching for Zhuang Ji in the whole city, because of Wu Guanliang's report.
The king's guards searched almost the whole city, but found nothing. He anxiously paced back and forth in the residence.
At this time, the guards watching the gate shouted loudly: "Zhuang Ji, General Zhuang has arrived-"
After hearing this, King Chu didn't believe his ears, and when he was about to ask the guards around him, Zhuang Ji had already walked over.
"Meet the king" Zhuang Ji, as usual, said sincerely to the king.
When King Chu saw Zhuang Ji, he was at a loss.
The king's personal guards had long known what the king meant, and jumped behind Zhuang Ji, preparing to arrest him.
Zhuang tilted his head and teased: "You are the king's personal guard, why did you run to my side." You don't protect the king, are you afraid that the king will hurt you? β
The king understood what Zhuang Ji meant, pointed at the guards and shouted, "Go down, who made you so arrogant?" β
The guards had no choice but to say "yes" and went behind the scenes.
Zhuang Ji calmly said to the king of Chu: "The king is above, if there is a place where the king is not in the reception, please point out, if something happens in Wucheng, please give the king a clear order, and he will go all out to complete it." β
After hearing this, King Chu only said, "This ...... This...... What about Jin Aiqing? What's the matter with Zhuang Jilai? β
Jin Shang came out from behind the curtain and said to Zhuang Ji with a smile: "Zhuang Ji, are you guilty?" β
Zhuang Ji said in surprise: "Oh, I didn't expect Dr. Jin to be there, and behind the scenes, he listened to the government, which is disrespectful to the king." β
Jin Shang waved his hand again and again and said: "Hey, don't talk nonsense, the old man is on the order of the king, and he came by coincidence, yes, he came by coincidence." β
King Chu saw that Jin Shang and Zhuang Ji were polite, and said dissatisfiedly: "Jin Aiqing, you told him that he Zhuang Ji would not know about such a big matter. β
Jin Shang coughed twice deliberately, plucked up his courage and said, "General Zhuang Jizhuang, do you understand what the king means?" Don't pretend here, tell me the truth, the king can spare your life, otherwise ......"
Zhuang Ji interrupted Jin Shang's words and asked, "Otherwise, what?" Great King, Zhuang Ji for the sake of Da Chu to be great again, regardless of personal reputation and danger, all the way to Wucheng, I heard that you want to take your life? Why is that? β
King Chu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Hey, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the lonely king didn't say that he would take your life, Zhuang Aiqing, you are still Zhuang Aiqing of the lonely king." β
Zhuang Ji raised his voice and said: "The king is above, the disappearance of Princess Jingyin is a big matter, Zhuang Ji came to see the king in the morning, and he really wanted to report it, but the king has repeatedly refused to listen to him." β
King Chu said "um" and said: "Yes, there is such a thing, because the lonely king was so happy in the morning, he never thought that Wang Mei would have an accident, and he couldn't think of it at all." β
Jin Shang said puzzledly: "Zhuang Ji, where did you start?" Want to blame the king? Hmph, the king agreed, but the old man Jin Shang didn't agree. β
Zhuang Ji said anxiously: "The king, now it is a top priority to find the princess, and Ji is very anxious about this, no matter how the king punishes him, wait for Ji to bring the princess back." With that, he turned to leave.
Jin Shang stopped Zhuang Ji and said: "Zhuang Ji, things are not so simple, according to the whistleblower, you deliberately hid the princess to blackmail the king, and wanted the king to approve you to continue the western expedition." Do you think that the purpose of your sins is unknown to the king? β
Zhuang Ji ignored Jin Shang, pushed him to the side, and walked out separately.
Jin Shang was unwilling and shouted, "What about the guards? came out and tied Zhuang Ji. β
King Chu was silent.
Besides, Wu Guanliang and a pound of water are in a mess now.
After staring at Wu Guanliang and disappearing into the darkness last night, he transferred Princess Jingyin to another place and hid.
As a pound of water for a famous mouth, although he reached a cooperation intention with Wu Guanliang on the surface, he successfully hijacked Princess Jingyin as a bargaining chip.
But with Wu Guanliang's ambition is different.
The ambitions are different, and they don't conspire with each other.
He soon found out that Wu Guanliang wanted to give up Zhuang Ji and take refuge in the king and Jin Shang's gang.
Wu Guanliang's report was successful, and the king agreed to all his requests, but he wanted to see Princess Jingyin as soon as possible.
He thought that this would not be difficult for him.
Who knows, this Wu Guanliang went to the grass shed where Princess Jingyin was originally imprisoned, and it was empty.
Now it's difficult to even look at the princess by yourself, how can you fulfill the promise of letting the king see the princess?
He scolded in his heart, where did this ghostly pound of water go?
A pound of water found that Wu Guanliang's mouth was as tight as a dumb, but it turned out to be an official fan, and it was difficult to get out of the city now, and it was even more difficult to go out of the city with a noble princess that everyone in Chu was looking for.
This difficulty shows that it will not work to express Princess Jingyin to Chang'an of Qin State.
After weighing it, he decided to defect to Zhuang Ji.
If you are looking for General Zhuang, you must have a letter of nomination. Now that the Qin army has been defeated and Sima has committed suicide, what should I do as a vote?
A pound of water sighed, alas, just with my three-inch incorruptible tongue? Can General Zhuang believe me? Alas, go, anyway, you have to see General Zhuang first, right?
But he searched for a long time, but he didn't see Zhuang Ji's shadow. And what he did to himself, he didn't dare to make it public.
At this time, he had a flash of inspiration, hey, why not find the one named Ah Cai? Listening to Wu Guanliang, he just wanted to avenge her to attack the princess. What hatred? The girl's family is jealous of each other, ah, it's hard to break love in this world.
No, no, no, a pound of water thought, Ah Cai doesn't know himself, if he is discovered, in this chaotic moment, he can't find General Zhuang, and his little life is over?
A pound of water gives rise to a bold idea, turning friends into enemies and enemies into allies, isn't this the most basic kung fu of espionage personnel? Ha, this Princess Jingyin can be my ally with a pound of water.
He quickly returned to the place where the hidden princess was, and when he went to the small room, he saw that there was no figure of the princess.
A pound of water muttered in her heart, this noble princess, if she doesn't talk about credibility and runs away without permission, then her nobility will be discounted.
A pound of water that was in a hurry suddenly saw that Princess Jingyin came from outside.
The princess spoke first, "What, looking for me?" β
A pound of water hurriedly denied: "No, no, no, I just came back." However, I have an idea to discuss with the princess, I wonder if the princess agrees or not? β
Princess Jingyin said curiously and cautiously, "Oh, what is there to discuss with me?" I have become your fish, and I am very grateful to you if you can loosen my ties and give me some freedom. β
A pound of water quickly became careless and said: "Hey, slowly, the princess said this, she is killing someone in Yi, princess, don't worry, although someone in Yi and you met in this way of hijacking, but I and General Zhuang Jizhuang are in a-for-tat confrontation with each other, and recognize their true faces." β
Princess Jingyin glanced at Yijin Shui Gao from her heart, and said sincerely: "Oh, I didn't expect this righteous man to have such a relationship with the Chu army. In that case, what do you want to do yourself, just say it. β
A pound of water said solemnly: "First of all, please rest assured, princess, no matter how much I am a bastard with Jinshui, I will not harm you." The second is that General Zhuang has the grace not to kill me, but Qin Shuai Sima is wrong to kill me at the last moment. This was the main reason why I decided to speak my heart to the princess. β
Referring to Zhuang Ji, Princess Jingyin sighed and said: "General Zhuang is afraid that he is not a person inside and outside at this time, it's not good, my brother Wang wants his life again, alasββ"
A pound of water said approvingly: "The princess said that the king wants General Zhuang's life, I believe it." To tell you the truth, before, our Qin army intelligence said that the Chu State would attack Western Chu with a rebellion, and it was to send us troops. We waited for the state of Chu to become weaker and weaker the more it fought, until it collapsed. Who knows, this General Zhuang is not a traitor, but a pillar of Chu. Alas, the Qin army underestimated the enemy before the war in Western Chu began, and underestimating the enemy meant defeat. β
When Princess Jingyin heard this, she asked in surprise: "So, you are spies in the palace of the King of Chu?" β
A catty of water said without evasion: "Qin and Chu families, you have me, I have you, is it a strange thing?" Now the queen mother of King Qin is not a princess, your aunt? β
When Princess Jingyin heard this, she changed the topic and said, "What are you going to do next?" You said. β
A catty of water thought for a while and said, "The princess may not know about Wu Guanliang at all, he, like me, was also captured by General Zhuang's subordinates when he was a spy of the Qin army. But I don't have the same philosophy as him, he catches the princess to be an official...... Oh, don't talk about that. β
When Princess Jingyin was fascinated by what she heard, he interrupted and stopped talking.
After a pause, Yijin Shui changed his words and said, "I hope the princess can cooperate with me at this critical moment." Because, you don't know yet, General Zhuang Ji has been captured by the King of Chu......"
Princess Jingyin said "ah" and said excitedly, "Is this true?" β
A pound of water nodded and said, "I'm sure of it." I learned afterwards that Wu Guanliang's plan was to use the kidnapping of the princess to drive a wedge between the King of Chu and Zhuang Ji, so as to achieve his goal of climbing into the royal family and becoming a high-ranking official. β
"He can't do it." Jing Yin said angrily.
Yijin said quietly: "However, he has done it now." β
When Princess Jingyin heard this, she stood up and wanted to leave, and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to see Brother Wang and break Wu Guanliang's body into ten thousand pieces." β
A pound of water beckoned and said, "Princess, slow down, you listen to me." β
Then, with a gesture, he gestured to the princess, who kept nodding her head. After the comparison, he said: "Only in this way, the princess came forward to let Ah Cai cooperate." β
Is this possible?
