Chapter 260: Dog Eats Dog
At present, the armies of both sides are tense and have the potential to go to war, and often before the big war comes, there will be a deathly silence.
Like the calm before the storm, this is the highest degree of welcome to the storm.
……
That night, Chen Sheng had just laid down and was still asleep when there was a knock on his door.
Chen Sheng thought to himself who would disturb his rest at night, so he asked, "Who?" ”
"The king, it's a slave, I have something important to tell the king."
Chen Sheng could hear that this person was an old slave around him, and he was loyal to himself, so he didn't get angry, but just said: "It's getting late, what's the matter tomorrow?"
"No, if it's too late, it may endanger your life, the king." The old slave said.
Hearing this, Chen Sheng suddenly fell asleep, a matter of life, he turned over and got up from the bed, put on a piece of clothing and hurriedly came out.
"Say! What is life-threatening, but what is happening to me? Chen Sheng asked.
Recently, Chen Sheng only felt a little bit back, the year was not going well, he had already mobilized the troops from all sides back, if Chen County was really lost, he would be completely finished.
"A big event, a big thing, a big thing related to the king's life, otherwise, the old slave wouldn't dare to risk his life to report to you."
He deliberately used an emphatic tone, which made Chen Sheng even more puzzled, what was the big deal, he was so nervous.
"Speak quickly!"
The man leaned close to Chen Sheng's ear and whispered, "The servant overheard a piece of news, saying that the fake king colluded with the Qin army and intended to rebel. ”
"What!"
Chen Sheng was shocked, if he wanted to say that others rebelled, he might be able to understand that the fake king Wu Guang rebelled with him, how could he rebel.
But seeing his eyes, he said angrily: "If you are bold and dare to frame the false king, you are not afraid that I will kill you." ”
"The king is angry, and the old slave undoubtedly heard the conversation of the false king, so he hurriedly ran to tell the king that the old slave's loyalty to you can be seen by the sun and the moon."
"Impossible! The false king will not betray me. Chen Sheng categorically rejected this idea, but his heart was still shaken.
Just said that Wu Guang would not betray him, and then Chen Sheng asked again: "What else did the false king say?" ”
He said he didn't believe it, but in the end he was shaken, as Zhuang Jia said, Chen Sheng's suspicion was too serious, and he never really believed in others.
Whenever you hear something about chasing after the wind and shadows, you will make up all kinds of bad pictures in your mind.
"The old slave was afraid, worried that the king would run away, and he didn't hear everything, and vaguely heard the fake king say that the two of them had an incident, why did he press me, Chen Sheng has no virtue and no talent, why can't I replace him?" The old slave said.
"Bold!"
"The king is angry, these are what the false king said, not what the old slave said."
"What else did he say?" Chen Sheng asked.
"The false king also said that now that the general trend has gone, Chen Sheng will undoubtedly be defeated, and he should take this time to take refuge in the Ming Lord and return to Daqin, so that only Chen Sheng needs to die, and we can save our lives."
Rumble!
After listening, if Chen Sheng had more concentration, he would be very angry.
"Go on."
The old slave still heard what seemed to be some other correspondence, but he didn't hear it too clearly.
What Chen Sheng hates the most is betrayal, he can't imagine that the people who rebel with him will eventually betray themselves to get their own way, and if they want to open up, they will not be destroyed for themselves.
But seeing Chen Sheng's gloomy face, he asked, "What you said is true?" ”
"If a slave or maid has half a lie, she is willing to be trampled to death by thousands of troops." The old slave said.
Chen Sheng nodded solemnly and said, "Very good, have you told others about this?" ”
"This is a big crime of killing the head, how dare the slave and maid talk nonsense?"
"You have done a good job, if it is really confirmed that the false king is plotting rebellion, I will definitely give you a credit." Chen Sheng said.
"King Xie! The slave and the maid must be repaid by life and death. ”
"Remember, this matter is silent, I have my own arrangements." Chen Sheng said.
The old slave replied: The old slave must be tight-lipped. ”
"Stand down!"
After the old slave retreated, Chen Sheng returned to the room, sat at the table, his fists clenched tightly, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Wu Guang, don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind." ”
……
After the old slave left, he did not return to his dwelling, but came to a very hidden place, and he learned to make a few fox calls.
In the dark, a person appeared behind him, the old slave leaned over, and said with a smile: "Master, the task has been completed, what you said before...... Hey, hey, isn't it ......"
The old slave rubbed his hands together, his intention was obvious, and the man casually threw over a money bag and said, "This is your reward." ”
After getting the money, the old slave checked it carefully, and two hundred taels was a lot.
I just said two words, and I can get so much money, it's still easy.
"Master, if you have any deal, just look for me, I promise to complete the task."
In the darkness, the man threw him another money bag and said, "There are five hundred taels in it, and there is indeed something that needs your help." ”
After getting the money, the man couldn't close his mouth happily, it was seven hundred taels in a short period of time, and he hadn't followed Chen Sheng so much in his ten lives.
"You said, even if it's a small sword mountain and a sea of fire, I will definitely help you do it." The old slave said.
"I don't need you to sword and fire, I just need to borrow one thing."
"What's that?"
"Your life."
The old slave's smiling face suddenly froze, how could he not understand the meaning of that man's words?!
"Master, you are really joking, how can you borrow your life?"
The old slave realized that something was wrong, and he was ready to escape as he spoke deliberately
But before he could turn around, a sword light flashed in the darkness, and the old slave was killed instantly by a sword.
After the person was killed, the swordsman in the dark night also disappeared without a trace, and not long after he left, the thief who sneaked into Chen County found the body of the old slave.
He was a little puzzled, and said to himself, "Could it be that the Lord has sent other people?" ”
The old slave who was bought, Meng Yi planned to give him money and let him leave Chen County, and then claimed to the outside world that he had been killed, so that Chen Sheng felt that he was killed by Wu Guang, and confirmed the fact that Wu Guang colluded with the Qin army.
As a result, the man was really killed, and judging from the wounds he was killed, this person was definitely a master of swordsmanship.
Whether it is in terms of technique or speed of shot, this person is not an ordinary person.
……
Following.
The news of the killing of the old slave who had snitched last night quickly reached Chen Sheng's ears.
Chen Sheng was too suspicious, and the strange death of the old slave made him even more suspicious of Wu Guang.
As soon as I finished reporting to myself, I was killed, isn't this a thief?!
However, it had the intention of deliberately framing Wu Guang, of course, Chen Sheng would not think so, he already had doubts about Wu Guang in his heart, and he would definitely not easily dispel his doubts about him.
Just when Chen Sheng was thinking about this, Wu Guang came to him, Chen Sheng was looking for him, but he didn't expect him to send it to the door himself.
"It's just in time, just to try to see if Wu Guang really wants to rebel." Chen Sheng muttered to himself.
……
A slap didn't make a sound, Meng Yi thought of a way, that is, to let Chen Sheng and Wu Guang eat dogs, instead of borrowing knives to kill people, it was better to let them kill each other more happily.
For this reason, Meng Yi sent someone to secretly inform Wu Guang that Chen Sheng was preparing to surrender, and in order to express his sincerity in surrendering, Chen Sheng decided to kill Wu Guang.
As a result, both of them thought that the other party wanted to surrender, but they didn't dare to say it clearly, so their ordinary performances would have similarities and differences.
The more deliberate they are, the more they can confirm their betrayal.
When they arrived at the lobby of the mansion, Chen Sheng had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Wu Guang coming here, they glanced at each other, as if they had seen something in their eyes.
What is it?
Smell a rat.
Chen Sheng opened his mouth first and asked, "The false king came to me early in the morning, but there is something important. ”
"What? Can't you come to the king if you have nothing to do? Wu Guang asked rhetorically, obviously his temper was not very good.
When the two first met, they were tense and had a posture of wanting to fight, which was exactly in response to Meng Yi's strategy.
Knowing that Chen Sheng was going to kill himself, Wu Guang was not angry, it was fake, and he was loyal, but Chen Sheng actually wanted to kill himself for himself, and whoever he was would be angry.
Wu Guang thought so in his heart, but Chen Sheng's thoughts were completely different from him, he thought that Wu Guang defected to the Qin army, that is, he did not take himself seriously, so he was like this.
So, a perfect misunderstanding completely separated the two.
"At such a critical moment, the false king doesn't want to respond to the enemy, but he still has the heart to visit the door, and he is really idle." Chen Sheng is not easy to mess with, and he didn't give Wu Guang a good face.
"What kind of enemy, in my opinion, our crisis will be resolved soon, why not take this opportunity to contact feelings." Wu Guang said.
Wu Guang meant to say, if you want to kill me, I'll come to see you; In Chen Sheng's ears, you want to rebel, you are coming to see me.
Both of them perfectly "read" the meaning of the words.
Chen Sheng deliberately asked, "What did the false king say?" The Qin army is approaching the city, and there is a possibility of fighting at any time, how can the crisis be resolved? ”
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to fight, and if someone surrenders, the crisis will be naturally resolved."
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were both prejudiced against each other, and the two of them understood their own meaning from their voices, which made the misunderstanding bigger and bigger, which was exactly what Meng Yi wanted to see.
"Presumptuous! You and I have finally come to this day, wouldn't it be cheaper to surrender to the Qin army. Chen Sheng said sharply.
"Fang just said casually, the king doesn't have to care, surrender is impossible." Wu Guang said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
The reason why the two met was to explore each other's reality and reality, and after a brief conversation, both of them felt that the two of them were tired, and they were also sure of the fact of surrender.
After Wu Guang left, Chen Sheng said to his henchmen: "You go to Wu Guang's residence and find evidence of his collusion with Qin Jun, if this is the case, this person cannot stay." ”
