Chapter 1169 Anticipate the Enemy First
Li Hongxin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked, "If this king really enters Beijing, how will they treat me?" ”
"If the prince enters Beijing, his life may be worry-free." Ximen Yokono said: "And Longtai will also reward the prince in a fake way, so that the prince can enjoy all the glory and wealth in the second half of his life." ”
Li Hongxin sneered: "This king thinks so too. ”
"But from now on, the prince will lose his freedom, and he will be watched day and night." Ximen Yokono sighed: "Don't say that you want to recapture Xichuan, I'm afraid that even the place where the prince stands in the capital is under the control of others." ”
Mr. Huang followed closely and said: "Lord Wang, with all due respect, when you enter the capital, life and death are in the hands of Longtai, if one day he wants to attack the prince, he only needs to send someone to do something in the prince's diet, and the prince ......!" At this point, he sighed lightly and did not continue.
Li Hongxin smiled faintly and didn't speak, but got up and said, "You come with this king." ”
Several people followed Li Hongxin, out of the main hall, but to the backyard, this Shu Wangfu is the largest building in Chengdu, covering a wide area, through the corridor through the courtyard, it is actually to a very empty courtyard, as soon as you enter the courtyard, you can hear the barking of dogs, a very strong hound rushed to Li Hongxin, to Li Hongxin stuck out his tongue in front of him.
"This is the hound that this king must take with him when he hunts." Li Hongxin bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to stroke the hair of the hound: "It is born from breeding, flowing with half of the blood of a wild wolf, and when hunting, it is extremely fierce." He looked at the big black man and said, "Dai Ling, you know its fierceness." ”
The big black man said: "It is not even afraid of tigers and leopards, so the prince named it the fierce god." ”
"Exactly." Li Hongxin said with a smile: "But this king has hunted very little over the years, and it is also old......!" Between the words, one hand was still stroking the hair of the hound fierce god, but the other hand had an extra dagger, several people were surprised, but Li Hongxin had already raised the knife in his hand, and a knife was inserted into the neck of the fierce god, and the shot was fast, the fierce god was enjoying the master's touch, how did he think that Li Hongxin would suddenly kill him.
The dagger sank deep into the neck of the fierce god, and the hound howled, and actually tried his best to raise his two front legs and pounce on Li Hongxin, baring his teeth and sharp teeth, the black man Dai Ling reacted very quickly, and shouted: "Lord be careful!" "The eyes and legs are fast, a kick on the fierce god, his kick is full of force, and there is a wail, the whole body of the fierce god flew straight out of several zhang away, and then fell heavily to the ground, not dead for a while, struggling and writhing on the ground, wailing and whimpering.
Ximen Hengye hurriedly helped Li Hongxin up and said, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”
Li Hongxin was calm, stood up, looked at the fierce god who was writhing and twitching, and said calmly: "It is about to bite this king to death, have you seen it?" ”
Several people looked at each other, and Li Hongxin sneered: "When this beast was first born, it was by the side of this king, and this king personally fed and grew up, and the money spent on it was more than a wealthy family, but this king wanted to take its life, and it immediately resisted, knowing that it was going to die, but it still wanted to bite this king to death." ”
Ximen Yokono and Mr. Huang glanced at each other, and seemed to see that the other party understood what Li Hongxin meant.
Even a dog has to fight hard when he is dying, not to mention the King of Shu, who is already seriously threatened.
"Lord Wang, it seems that Qi Ning's intention to let the prince enter Beijing this time, but behind it is the thoughts of the imperial court." Mr. Huang said solemnly: "Qi Ning is afraid that he has secretly told Longtai about the letter of Langchadulu, Longtai is already jealous of the prince, if he knows about this, he will be more wary of the prince, not to mention that this time Qi Ning wants the prince to enter Beijing, even if he does not enter Beijing, Longtai's actions against the prince will be more restrained in the future." ”
Li Hongxin looked up at the night sky, there was a bright moon in the sky, and several people didn't speak when they saw this.
After a long time, Li Hongxin said lightly: "The life of this king has never been up to anyone, Changshi, let's make a plan tonight, this is what they forced this king." ”
As soon as these words came out, Dai Ling immediately showed excitement, his hands clenched into fists, and he looked eager to try, Mr. Huang's eyes also flashed, but Ximen Hengye looked serious, and asked in a low voice: "Is the prince ready to do it?" ”
"Ben Wang didn't think about doing it at this time." Li Hongxin's expression was cold, and his eyes were sharp: "But at this point, this king can't do it if he doesn't do it." ”
"Lord Wang, once this kind of thing is shot, it will be like an arrow shot out." Ximen Yokono said: "There is no turning back arrow when opening the bow, and the prince must think twice." ”
"Chang Shi doesn't think this king should do it?" Li Hongxin glanced at Ximen Yokono and said lightly: "You want to let this king sit and wait to be killed?" ”
Ximen Hengye said: "Lord, I just feel a little strange about my humble position. ”
"Strange?"
"Lord Wang, according to common sense, Qi Ning wanted to trick the prince into the capital, and he shouldn't have taken out that letter." Ximen Yokoye said in a low voice: "Originally, we would have let the prince enter Beijing, we would be cautious and cautious, beware of fraud, although Qi Ning is young, but he is not stupid, he naturally knows that the prince must not want to enter Beijing, to persuade the prince to enter Beijing, he should do everything possible to make the prince believe that there will be no danger after entering Beijing, but he just took out the letter, which not only will not make the prince feel at ease, but will make us suspicious." ”
Li Hongxin let out an "oh" and said, "Do you think there is something strange about him?" ”
"There must be something wrong." Ximen Yokono said solemnly: "Lord Wang, why did this person take out that letter?" Taking it out will only make the prince feel that entering Beijing must be dangerous, which is contrary to Qi Ning's purpose of deceiving the prince to enter the city, which is by no means done by a smart person. ”
Mr. Huang said: "Changshi, maybe Qi Ning got the letter and was complacent, thinking that he was very clever, so he deliberately showed off in front of the prince." ”
"I don't think so." Ximen Yokono shook his head and said: "I have been in contact with this person twice, his joy and anger are invisible, he is not an ordinary son, he knows that what he does will only make his goal more difficult to achieve, just to show his cleverness and destroy his own purpose, that is extremely stupid, if he is such a stupid person, it will never be possible to have today's position." ”
Li Hongxin thought for a moment and frowned: "Changshi is saying that he deliberately did this, just to make this king feel dangerous and force this king to make a move?" ”
"Whether it is really this purpose, the subordinates dare not say anything." Ximen Yokono said: "But the result of his doing this is indeed forcing us to make a move, if this is his purpose, this person's mind is really insidious." ”
Dai Ling shook his head and said, "Changshi, I think Qi Ning is pretending to be a gesture. He only thought that the prince didn't have any power to fight back now, so he deliberately provoked the prince, just to let the prince understand that he now has real power in his hands and wants the prince to do whatever he wants. He is young, but he is in a high position, even Wei Shutong, the feudal official, is also respectful in front of him, because this person's temperament is inevitably arrogant, he thinks he is omnipotent, and the arrogance of a young man is just that. ”
Ximen Yokoye smiled faintly: "General Dai thinks Qi Ning will be so arrogant? ”
"Long history, I think what General Dai said is not unreasonable." Mr. Huang said: "Chengdu Mansion is under the control of Wei Shutong, and Wei Shutong bowed his head to Qi Ning's orders, in Qi Ning's eyes, he was afraid that he felt that he was the master of Chengdu, he only thought that Chengdu was under his firm control, even if he really offended the prince, he thought that the prince had nothing to do." After a pause, he turned to Li Hongxin and said: "Lord Wang, if you become a big thing, you must make a decision immediately, if you are indecisive, you will eventually suffer from it." Even if what Changshi said is correct, Qi Ning deliberately forced us to do it, so let's give up the plan? If we do nothing, then three days later, the prince can only be sent to the capital by them, as long as he steps out of Chengdu, the prince's hard work for so many years will be in vain! ”
Li Hongxin groaned slightly, and then said: "Changshi, what Mr. Huang said is not wrong, even if it is really Qi Ning who forced this king to make a move, could it be that this king will stop because of this?" ”
"Lord Wang, that's not what my subordinates meant." Ximen Hengye said: "Until now, no matter what Qi Ning's purpose is, we have to do it, but before we do it, we must be foolproof." ”
Mr. Huang sighed: "In the long history, nothing in the world can be foolproof, and in today's situation, we can only fight hard." ”
Ximen Yokono shook his head and said: "If nothing goes wrong, it is the enemy first." Let's calculate exactly how Qi Ning wants to deal with us, and we will make a plan. ”
"Will it be calculated?"
Ximen Hengye said: "Lord Wang, now all the guards in the palace add up, there are more than 120 people, and there are thousands of Jinguan guards under the command of the prince, but now they are stationed in Shiyi, how many people we have here, Wei Shu is the same, so in their opinion, even if we do it, we will have these people on hand." ”
Dai Ling said: "Long history, it is precisely because of this that I feel that Qi Ning took out that letter, not really to force the prince to do it. There are 2,000 guards in the Assassin's Mansion, although hundreds of people have been transferred to the Black Rock Cave, but there are still thousands of people in the city, stationed near each gate, plus the yacha in the city, adding up to 2,000 people, even if you don't count those yacha, they also have thousands of people in their hands, and they are all elite soldiers selected by Wei Shutong, they have ten times our strength in their hands, and they will not worry about us at all. ”
"General Dai, now you don't have to worry about whether Qi Ning will force us to do it." Ximen Hengye said: "You are right, the soldiers and horses on the bright side, they are ten times larger than us, so they will inevitably despise us, and their eyes will definitely be on the Shu Palace." ”
Mr. Huang bowed his head and said: "Yes, there must be eyeliner all around the Shu Palace, and if we make a slight move, they will definitely know." ”
"Therefore, the forces of the Shu Wangfu cannot be used for this operation, but can only be used to confuse them." Ximen Yokono's eyes were deep: "The key to this operation is to kill Qi Ning and Wei Shutong, as soon as these two people die, the government will wait for them to lose their heads, so whether it succeeds or not, it depends on whether we can kill these two people in the first time." ”
