Chapter 70: Sinister Intentions (3)

Wu Guanliang said with conviction: "How is this impossible? Now, Zhuang Ji has been confined by the king's guards, and the Chu army has lost its biggest head, what are you afraid of? But if we can't find the princess again, then we won't be able to explain to King Chu, not to mention being promoted and getting rich, whether we can save our lives is still a question mark. ”

A pound of water said hopelessly: "Your gamble is risky, it's a big gamble, what if the king changes his mind and doesn't kill Zhuang Ji?" Think about it, Zhuang Ji is loyal to the king, and the king's impression of Zhuang Ji is not bad, why did he have to kill Zhuang Ji and cut off his arm? ”

Wu Guanliang said sarcastically: "Oh, I don't understand how you are a famous mouth." What do you think, in the palace of the king of Chu, the people who want Zhuang to die are not the king, but Jin Shang and Zilan, they belong to the villain category, for fear that other courtiers will make meritorious contributions and their merits will be higher than theirs, so they joined forces and beat them when they saw the strong seedling, and the suppression made him become a stump before he grew up. Our business, with Dr. Jin as a guarantee, the king has to give him three points for everything, and Dr. Jin intervenes in the matter, and the success rate is over 100. ”

A pound of water smiled and said, "Hahaha...... It's really better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years. Now, I kind of understand you. Let's go, let's go and send the princess to the king's residence, and I'll take your blessing to see what kind of official she can promote. ”

Wu Guanliang said with a cheerful face: "That's right." Hey, where did you hide the princess? Is it a sack that you carry with you? ”

A pound of water kept the sack away from Wu Guan Liang and said: "Where do you want to go, the princess was hijacked by you, you are the first hero, this sack contains the fresh fruit I bought, it is for the king, pay tribute, we will not bribe." ”

Wu Guanliang sneered: "The dignified King of Chu, send you that little thing." ”

A pound of water said to Wu Guanliang: "Don't talk nonsense, go, I'll take you to carry the princess." He walked a few steps, then stopped and said, "Hey Wu Guanliang, let's say okay first, the princess will be carried by you, and I will carry the fresh fruit." ”

Wu Guanliang thought that Princess Jingyin was such a big living person, how could I carry it alone, so he hesitated and didn't dare to agree.

A pound of water saw through his thoughts, and then excitedly said: "If you don't carry it, forget it, we don't care about the princess." After he finished speaking, he carried the sack and went his own way.

Wu Zailiang hurriedly shouted: "Hey, don't worry, okay, I promise you, I will carry the princess alone, okay." ”

The news that the king of Chu was determined to kill Zhuang Ji reached Qu Yuan's ears. He didn't care about his old age and infirmity, so he rushed to the official residence where the king was staying overnight.

When Jin Shang heard the news that Qu Yuan had arrived, he hurriedly blocked the door of the king's mansion and said to Qu Yuan who was approaching: "It's not the right time for the old man Qu to come, the king is sleeping, and we are courtiers, so we must not disturb." ”

Qu Yuan ignored him, just pulled Jin Shang aside with all his strength, and went straight to the spacious hall where the king was, but he didn't see the king.

Qu Yuan said loudly: "The old minister Qu Yuan pays a visit to the kingβ€”β€”"

But there was still no response.

Jin Shang approached Qu Yuan and said sarcastically: "Qu Lao'er is always very stubborn, and he doesn't listen to the old man's advice, how about it?" The king has been tired all day, and now he wants to rest well, but you have no scruples to make trouble, which is really unbelievable. ”

Qu Yuan said to Jin Shang without giving in: "You say, where did you lock Zhuang Ji?" The hero who has just regained the lost territory for Da Chu has become your prisoner in the blink of an eye, is this a heavenly reason? ”

Jin Shang said with a smile on his face: "Hey, Qu Lao'er, the old man doesn't like to hear what you say. Arrest Zhuang Ji, Guan Zhuang Ji, who gave the order? You know. Why do you say such ugly things in front of the old man? The old man advises you to go back to the store early to rest, and don't come back late. ”

Qu Yuan roared angrily: "You want to drive the old man away? Tell you, it can't be done. ”

"Why?" Jin Shang said anxiously, "The old man feels sorry for you, Doctor Qu, you mistook the old man's kindness for the liver and lungs of a donkey." ”

Qu Yuan pointed out Jin Shang's conspiracy and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the old man learned that you were going to do something earth-shattering tonight, so I came here to participate, so as not to regret the old man for life." ”

When Jin Shang heard Qu Yuan's words that he didn't leave, he became even more anxious.

Because according to his arrangement with Wu Guanliang, the life and death of Zhuang Ji will be decided tonight. Seeing the grains of sand of time leaking out, he was so anxious that he had reached the ashes level.

At this time, King Qingxiang walked out from behind the bead curtain, and he said without raising his head: "Jin Aiqing, has Zhuang Ji been escorted?" ”

Jin Shang was about to report it, but Qu Yuan covered his mouth. His neck twisted a few times, trying to get rid of Qu Yuan's hand, but because the hand was too tight, he didn't speak.

Qu Yuan pushed Jin Shang aside, stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Qu Yuan pays a visit to the king." ”

King Qingxiang was stunned for a moment, and only replied for a long time: "Hey, Qu Lao'er, who notified you to come?" Alas, we are really a narrow road, whenever the lonely king wants to do something big, you will appear in time like a ghost and a god. ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, he was not angry, but said in passing: "Seeing that the king has exalted the old man, I, Qu Lao'er, as a loyal minister of the king, must appear whenever there is a big event." As long as it does not harm the interests of Chu and the king, it is to go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up. ”

Suddenly, dozens of guards ran out of the hall of the king's official residence, surrounded the perimeter of the hall, and guarded the door with double guards.

Jin Shang saw that Qu Yuan was still here, and if Zhuang came too early, things would be in vain. Therefore, he said to the king: "Report to the king, can you let the guards withdraw and postpone the detention of Zhuang Ji?" ”

As soon as Jin Shang's voice fell, the guard's shout, "Zhuang Ji has arrived-" came in.

He scolded casually: "It's really messy playing the piano." ”

Qu Yuan retorted: "It is the king's order to come in. You Jin Lao'er said that you were playing the piano indiscriminately? ”

Jin Shang hurriedly defended and said: "Hey, the old man didn't say the king's order, he said that he was playing the piano indiscriminately." ”

King Qingxiang spoke: "It's just playing the piano indiscriminately, and the lonely king also plays, and he wants to play it to the end." Charge the bank. ”

Zhuang Ji, who was tied by his backarm, stepped forward, saluted the king in a proper manner, and said: "The king is above, I don't know what royal law he has violated, and he wants to humiliate him like this?" ”

Jin Shang saw that the king's eyes were drooping, afraid that he would change his mind in an instant, so he stepped forward to salute the king and said: "The king is above, Zhuang Ji has repeatedly offended the king, and now the name is to pay homage to the king, but in fact, the king is blamed for being rude to him in language." ”

King Chu frowned: "Well, is that so?" ”

Qu Yuan stepped forward and said: "The king is above, Jin Lao'er distorted Zhuang Ji's words, wanted to harm Zhuang Ji by the hand of the king, and finally used the king to leave a stigma." Detain Zhuang Ji and ask the king to think twice. ”

King Qingxiang suddenly said angrily: "What are you thinking about? Lone Wang, Jin Aiqing, and Qin Jun's Wu ......"

Jin Shang took over and said, "Wu Guanliang of the Qin army." ”

King Qingxiang said: "Yes, I have discussed it with Wu Guanliang, whether Zhuang Ji is dead or alive, first, I want to find Princess Jingyin, the princess of Wang Mei; Second, she asked for her testimony, which showed that Zhuang Ji had no intention of blackmailing the lonely king. Otherwise, Zhuang Ji is dead. ”

As soon as Jin Shang heard that Princess Jingyin was asked to testify against Zhuang Ji, it would definitely be unfavorable to him, so he reminded King Chu and said: "The king is above, and the old man remembers that Wu Guanliang said that Zhuang Ji wanted to take advantage of the princess's robbery to split the royal family and continue the westward expedition to be independent of Chu. This is a hundred times greater than the crime of treason. ”

Qu Yuan retorted to Jin Shang and said, "Jin Lao'er, you dare not even listen to the king's words? Since it is said that the princess was kidnapped by Zhuang Ji, it is the most just to let the princess prove whether Zhuang Ji is guilty or not, why did you give birth to some branches, isn't this deliberately distorting the king's intentions and planting the seeds of notoriety for the king? ”

King Chu said "um", and was about to open his mouth to speak, when a guard shouted from outside the door: "Lord Wu has arrived-"

Wu Guanliang and a catty of water, two former Qin army spies, came in with a long sack.

Jin Shang greeted Wu Guanliang and said, "You guys are here." Then he turned to King Chu and said, "King, there is no need to fight with Qu Lao'er, now, the princess is here...... Hey, no, you put the princess in a sack? ”

A pound of water put the sack on the ground and said, "Report to the king, the small one is polite to the king." ”

Wu Guanliang knelt down to the king and said: "The king is above, and the little one brought the princess, and the original one was not moved, in order to show the innocence of the little one." ”

Jin Shang urged: "Open it, open it quickly, how can you treat the noble princess of Chu State like this?" ”

Wu Guanliang didn't panic, he refuted Jin Shang and said: "What Dr. Jin said is bad, the little one found the princess like this, if she is let out of the sack, it means that she is not the original." Now carry her in a sack to the king, and hand over the original goods to the king, and the small one is responsible for the king. ”

Qu Yuan asked puzzledly: "A princess, why two sacks?" ”

Jin Shang urged: "Which one is true, open it first." ”

Wu Guanliang said confidently: "Of course I carried the sack." ”

He gently placed the sack on the ground, untied the thin rope, stood up straight, and said with his arms outstretched: "The time to witness the miracle has come." ”

Out of the mouth of the untied sack, a man came out.

The people present were all dumbfounded.

Especially Wu Guanliang and Jin Shang, both of them were stunned at the same time.

Wu Guanliang sprinkled a layer of dead ash on his face;

Jin Shang's mouth was open, his saliva was unkind, and he crawled out by the way.

The woman who came out came to the man and cried: "Brother Zhuang, I can see you." ”

Zhuang Ji comforted: "Ah Cai, don't cry. ”

It seemed that King Chu was the fastest to come back to his senses, and he pointed at Jin Shang angrily: "You...... You...... What the hell is going on? ”

Jin Shang trembled and said, "The king is above, and the old man is also ...... I don't know about it...... This...... What the hell is this. ”

King Chu ordered angrily again: "Pull it outβ€”cut itβ€”"

When Jin Shang heard this, he repeated the royal order and said, "Pull Zhuang out and beheadβ€”"

Qu Yuan thought about it, the king only said that he would pull it out and cut it, but he didn't say who would pull it out, it was obvious that Jin Shang was openly manipulating and tampering with the king's decree.

So he stepped forward and said to the king: "The king is above, you should explicitly order Jin Shang to go out, don't let the villain take advantage of the loophole." 166 Reading Network
