"If Qi Ning hadn't been fooled, would tonight's action fall into the trap they had laid?"

In the palace of the king of Shu, Li Hongxin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked a word.

Ximen Hengye seemed to be very surprised that Li Hongxin would ask such a thing at such a time, but he still said: "Lord Wang, our goal of attacking the east and the west has been achieved, the Assassin Mansion has not strengthened its defense today, the guards of the four gates and the men and horses of the Chengdu Barracks We have been sending people to keep an eye on it, when we act, those soldiers and horses still have no action, that is to say, even if the Assassin Mansion is prepared, it is only the manpower of the Assassin Mansion on weekdays, and tonight's action, our manpower far exceeds them, enough to control the situation." ”

Li Hongxin was thoughtful.

He knew that what Simon said was not wrong.

From the beginning of the planned operation, Wei Shutong's available troops in the city have been closely monitored by the King of Shu, if Qi Ning really wants to set a trap this time, he will naturally expect that the people of the King of Shu will attack the Assassin Mansion, then they will definitely set up an ambush in the Assassin Mansion, so that the soldiers and horses in the city will inevitably be used.

However, the available soldiers in the city have not moved, which means that Qi Ning would not have thought that the King of Shu would launch a surprise attack on the Assassin Mansion today, otherwise there would never be any action.

But Li Hong always felt a little uneasy in his confidence.

After countless ups and downs, Li Hongxin has a strong premonition about many things, although everything is carefully planned, and Wei Shutong's people do not act as expected, but the more this is the case, the more uneasy Li Hongxin feels at this time, and even in the depths of his heart, there is a sense of fear.

This feeling has never been felt for many years, but recently it has suddenly surged up in my heart, and with the passage of time, this feeling has become stronger and stronger.

There is a dead silence in the palace of the king of Shu, the guards guarding the palace of the king of Shu have been in accordance with the deployment in advance, directly to the arsenal in Chengdu to kill the past, the arsenal usually has officers and soldiers to guard, but the number has never been much, nearly a hundred people are enough to control the arsenal in the shortest possible time, as long as the arsenal is taken, then even if there are other forces in the city that support Wei Shutong, there is no weapon in the hand, it is impossible to pose a threat to the king of Shu.

A voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Report, prince, someone asks to see!" ”

Li Hongxin and Ximen Hengye were both stunned, and Ximen Hengye said in a deep voice: "Who wants to see?" ”

"He said that he was the person the prince wanted to see the most." A voice outside the door said: "It is also said that the prince must see him, otherwise it will be difficult for the prince to pass this level tonight." ”

Li Hongxin was even more surprised, looking at Ximen Hengye, Ximen Hengye thought for a while, bowed slightly, and then Li Hongxin said: "Let him come in." ”

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap from the sky, and the corners of Li Hongxin's eyes jumped slightly, and he said lightly: "It looks like it's going to rain!" ”

At dusk, dark clouds swirled around the sky, but the rain did not fall for a long time.

It didn't take long for Li Hongxin to sit on the chair and didn't get up, staring at the door, only to see a person walk to the door, raise his hand, and signal that everyone behind him didn't have to follow.

It was none other than Qi Ning who came in through the door.

Dai Ling's purpose in leading people to the Assassin's Mansion tonight was to kill Qi Ning, how could Li Hongxin have thought that Qi Ning would appear in front of him at such a time.

In an instant, Li Hongxin's heart sank to the bottom.

Of course, he knew at this time that Dai Ling and his entourage would definitely fall into Qi Ning's trap by surprise, and the Shu Wangfu also completely fell into Qi Ning's calculations, and the Shu Wangfu originally had nearly a hundred guards who were not afraid of death, and these people naturally had no doubts about Li Hongxin's loyalty, and each of them was a warrior carefully selected by Li Hongxin, and each of them was extremely strong in combat effectiveness.

If this group of people are in the Shu Palace, even if Dai Ling falls into the trap, the officers and soldiers will definitely pay a heavy price if they want to enter the Shu Palace.

But the hundred-man guard of the Shu Wangfu was sent out to rob the armory.

The guardian power of the entire Shu Wangfu was already the weakest since the completion of the Shu Wangfu, but it was at this time that Qi Ning led people to the Shu Wangfu.

Qi Ning walked into the hall slowly, glanced at the west gate and the night, then turned to look at Li Hongxin, and arched his hand: "Lord!" ”

Li Hong was shocked in confidence, but his face calmed down, and he smiled lightly: "It turned out to be the protector of the country, in the middle of the night, I don't know what you are doing here?" ”

"The prince went to bed so late?" Qi Ning asked with a smile, without waiting for Li Hongxin to speak, he walked over and sat down on the chair next to Li Hongxin, pulled his shirt, and said with a smile: "Since the prince can't sleep, I took the liberty to come, and I must not disturb the prince's dream." ”

Simon Hengye's face was ugly, his lips moved, but he didn't speak.

"Ximen Changshi is a person that the prince has been relying on for many years." Qi Ning glanced at Ximen Hengye, and said lightly: "I know that the prince is very important to Ximen Changshi, presumably Ximen Changshi is also grateful for the care of the prince for many years, right?" ”

A light smile appeared on Ximen Hengye's lips, and he said: "The prince is as kind to me as a mountain, and I am naturally grateful to the prince." ”

"So if for the sake of the prince, Ximen Changshi wants to send his life, of course Ximen Changshi will not be reluctant." Qi Ning said: "On the way here, I have already helped you think of it, the best way should be to drink poisonous wine, I don't know if there is poisonous wine in the prince's mansion, you can lend it to Ximen Changshi." ”

Li Hongxin's pupils contracted, and he sneered: "This king doesn't understand what the protector means?" ”

"The prince rebelled, and the nine clans were connected." Qi Ning sighed: "In order to reduce the number of deaths in this incident, the prince needs to inform the world that it was Ximen Changshi who advocated and planned this rebellion in private, although the prince will also be implicated in this, and even face extremely serious consequences, but I can try my best to save the prince's life." The prince handed over the table to my grandfather back then, so that the reputation of the Jinyi Qi family spread all over the world, and therefore made the Jinyi Qi family make great contributions, so in the eyes of the Jinyi Qi family, the prince is also a little kind to our Qi family, and our Jinyi Qi family knows how to repay the kindness, and now when the prince is in danger, I can only save the prince's life as much as possible. ”

Li Hongxin stood up suddenly, with a gloomy killing intent on his face.

Qi Ning didn't look at him either, leaned back in his chair, and said lightly: "After the prince sent out the guards in the palace, the Shu Palace's mansion has been surrounded, as long as I have a small signal, they will kill into the Shu palace like a wolf, this is their chance to establish meritorious deeds, so the prince must not think that they will be soft." The prince is in the palace of the king of Shu, and he no longer has any strength to fight against me, when the prince submitted the table, it can be seen that he is a handsome man who knows the current affairs, in this case, please also ask the prince to still be able to know the current affairs today. ”

"Qi Ning, good means!" Li Hongxin laughed angrily: "He is worthy of being a member of the Jinyi family." ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "The prince is too famous. The prince is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, I know that the prince is a big gamble this time, and since the results have come out, of course the prince knows how to bear the results. He raised his hand and pointed at Ximen Hengye and said: "Give me his head, and then the prince and the head of Ximen Changshi entered Beijing together, and took the head to ask the emperor for guilt, I believe that the emperor is a benevolent monarch, maybe he can really spare your life." ”

Li Hongxin sighed, sat down slowly, looked at Ximen Hengye, and said with a smile: "Ximen Changshi, the Lord Protector wants to let this king take your head and enter Beijing to ask Longtai for guilt, what do you think?" ”

"If it is really possible for the subordinates' heads to keep the prince's integrity, of course the subordinates will immediately sacrifice their heads." Ximen Hengye sighed: "It's a pity that the people of Chu are too jealous of the prince, and this time they finally found the truth, of course they will not really be lenient to the prince because of a subordinate head." ”

Li Hongxin bowed his head and said: "This king thinks the same way. He looked at Qi Ning and said, "Protector of the country, in fact, this king is very strange about something, I don't know if you can help this king answer?" ”

Qi Ning raised his hand and said, "Lord Wang, please speak!" ”

"This king knows that you let this king enter Beijing, not that Longtai really gave you any will." Li Hongxin said: "It's nothing more than trying to force this king to make a move, so that you have the truth to deal with this king." ”

Qi Ning sighed: "I know that this is indeed a bit unauthentic, but the prince is deeply rooted in Xichuan, you exist for a day, it will be a threat to the court for a day, the emperor is the lord of the saint with great ambitions, for the sake of the world, it is inevitable to destroy Qi Pinghan, and finally dominate the world, but to achieve such a goal, the first thing is that the Chu State itself cannot be chaotic, looking at the Chu State, there are not many people who can make the court jealous, but the prince can of course be regarded as one of them." ”

Li Hongxin bowed slightly, and Qi Ning continued: "And the emperor's ambition has begun, and the army is heading north, but the emperor has always been worried that there will be problems on the Xichuan side, so if there is a way to eliminate the threat from the prince here, of course, it is beneficial to the emperor's great cause, and in fact, it is also beneficial to the common people in the world." ”

"He is young, but his eloquence is good." Li Hongxin smiled faintly and said, "When you say this, even this king feels that he deserves to die." ”

Qi Ning said: "If the prince is a fish, Xichuan is the pond water of the prince, the fish will die when they leave the water, and if the prince leaves Xichuan, there will be no chance of a comeback, so if you want to force the prince to make a move, there is only one way to let the prince leave Xichuan, I really have no other good way, and please don't be surprised." ”

Li Hongxin said: "It seems that this king used a stand-in to go out of the city to worship his mother, and it has no effect on you?" ”

"It has an impact." Qi Ning said very seriously: "I thought that the prince was going to take the opportunity to leave, and I was thinking about whether it was necessary to send people to surround the prince, but together with this thought, I suddenly understood that I had such a thought, which is exactly what the prince is willing to see, the prince used a stand-in to go out of the city, just to attract my attention, and even let me use the soldiers and horses in my hand to deal with that end, and because of this, I am more sure that the prince is ready to do it." ”
