Chapter 282: Cloth the poisonous banquet and be less arrogant
Pang Tong planned to carry out this plan the next day. But that night in another place a more straightforward means -
Under the gray robe, Rude was Cao Chong's first strategist, his back was always bent, and his face was wrinkled from a long-term smile, but he had the face of a calm and good man.
He was in Cao Chong's house, looking at Cao Chong sitting on a mahogany chair carved with the pattern of plum blossoms, by the light of the fire.
"The king is so determined to kill the king of Chengwei?" Ruud arched. In fact, he has always maintained the posture of arching his hands.
Cao Chong's face was calm, he picked up the water cup on the side of the case, shook it twice and then put it down, folded his knees, put his right hand on his knee, leaned his body slightly to the right, and patted the dust on his thighs left and right. But in fact, the entire palace has been cleaned very clean. Cao Chong's cleanliness habits tired the subordinates in his house.
"If you don't kill it, you can't do it." He sighed faintly. seems to say that the murder is very helpless, even if the object is his second brother. "Big brother is powerful now, but he's just a human being. Unlike the second brother who is a martial artist, if he has military power one day, I will be in danger. β
"Didn't you already act in a play and draw the attention of King Chengwei to King Chen Si?"
Cao Chong raised his left hand and pointed over.
"You're just too smart, that's why I can't get used to it. The alliance is a must, otherwise my third brother and I will not be able to fight them. But in the eyes of the eldest brother and the second brother, I am weak after all, and I am not afraid. But the third brother is different, he is full of poetry and picturesqueness, and he is well versed in internal affairs. Don't say it to my father, but I still put the third brother in an important position in my heart. It's not like the eldest brother, just the status of the eldest son, but he doesn't have any real skills, and I'm the most unaccustomed to it. β
"There are so many people that the king can't get used to. In yesterday's one-handed play, Chen Siwang must have become a thorn in the side of pulling you to his side, at least in the eyes of King Chengwei. It's better to let King Chengwei fight with King Chen Si first......"
"No, you're just sometimes too clever to be looked down upon." Cao Chong sneered: "A person like the second brother is like a wild man, no one knows what brute things he will do." But if he wants to do it, he won't come to the dark, he must be holding the power to kill. That way, we can rest easy and not worry about being assassinated. But when a person like him has not been given power, how can he embarrass the three, at most, he regards three as the second person to be eliminated, and he just makes a ranking in his heart. My words should have been eliminated, but he didn't take me seriously at all...... What a proud man, people can't get used to it. β
As he spoke, he picked up the water cup and took a sip, wiped it with his sleeve, and said in a lamented voice: "Just such a man, what if you don't make a move?" β
"Is the king in a hurry?"
"Rude, Ruud, I took a fancy to you two years ago, not because you were in the army, but because you had a vision. Why don't you have a vision now? Cao Chong's words were full of complaints. I don't take the third brother seriously at all, this person is indecisive, and he will definitely be reasonable when doing things. If he wants to compete with us for the throne, he can't fight for it...... A man who probably doesn't even dare to kill a chicken is really unpleasant. So...... It's still the eldest brother and the second brother who can't stand it, after killing the second brother, a martial artist, and having a good fight with the sinister ghost of the eldest brother, that kind of day will definitely be very satisfying. This is my complete preparation for the throne. β
"But now the emperor is still there, thinking about this...... Or is it a bit too hasty to do these things? β
Cao Mengde is indeed not very old.
"As far as I know, the old man has already experienced six headaches, and everyone present was terrified, and some even said that it was an evil spirit...... I always felt that this was an ominous harbinger. In this case, before the old man has made a decision, in order to avoid chaos in the future, I will arrange it well and take care of the matter. Hey, speaking of which, it's a blessing that the Wei Dynasty has an emperor like me, the eldest brother has no human touch, the second brother will not be able to do political affairs, and the third brother will not kill and decide. It's still the old man who has the foresight and gave birth to me, otherwise the Wei Dynasty is estimated to be close to the **** of the late Han Dynasty soon. β
"So what does the king want to do?" Rude still asked, after all, until now, Cao Chong only said that he wanted to kill the King of Chengwei, but he didn't say how to kill him. And in his eyes, it was far more difficult to kill King Chengwei than to kill King Runan and King Chen Si, and his puzzlement had already filled his chest.
"Hongmen feast, poison in wine, it's as simple as that." Cao Chong said lightly.
Ruud shuddered when he heard this, and said, "How can this be done? Doing this kind of thing in the palace, although it poisoned the king of Chengwei, but in the end, wasn't our actions completely exposed? β
"I didn't say please be here with me, you're really unpleasant." Cao Chong said angrily: "Just find an opportunity to ask the third brother to invite me, I can use many reasons to promote this matter, and then call the second brother by other means." At that time, the three of us will have to treat us well, and you can only poison us secretly. As he spoke, he pulled a long bottle out of his cuff and threw it out.
Ruud, hunched over, hurriedly caught it.
"Poison."
was reminded by Cao Chong like this, one of Rude's shoulders collapsed, and his face was in a cold sweat.
"This kind of thing is too trivial for you, just a matter of putting water in the jar. It's going to be done at the risk of death. β
Rude raised his head in embarrassment and said, "It's not that the lower officials don't want to do it, it's just that this kind of thing is too risky." If I am discovered, what will you do, my lord? β
"So you're stupid!" Cao Chong said: "You can find someone to poison you, and you must find a way not to let the people you find know who you are." I've helped you think about poisoning, the third brother's mansion will go to Wangpu Restaurant to get wine a few days in the first half of the month, you just need to poison it at the restaurant. The poison could not be detected by a silver needle, and they took it back even if it was a routine test for poison, unless someone dared to drink it...... Of course, who would do that, except for the people in my house...... Ha ha. β
His laughter pressed down on Ruud like a kind of coercion.
Ruud, who was holding the white porcelain poison bottle, stepped back and wiped the sweat from his cheeks. He muttered in his heart: "This King Deng Ai is so young and has so many ghost ideas, and he is so vicious, if the old man offends him when, it is estimated that it will be an embarrassing end." β
Thinking about it, he had already walked under the corridor by the wall, and as the sound of the stream poured into his ears, he came to the courtyard. Suddenly, he stopped, and the rockery, which should have been only one zhang high, seemed to be extraordinarily tall under the slight blankness of the half moon.
Ruud stared blankly for a moment, and suddenly, the top of the rockery disappeared.
"Are you tired?" He shook his head and sighed deeply. "This king is so nervous, my temples are about to burst."
"Really?"
A slight question, as if it came from his own mind. Originally, when Ruud was still wondering if these two words were his own words, the light in front of him was all obscured. When he looked up tremblingly, only two eyes that seemed to glow blue shone brightly in the darkness.
"It's rude." The uninvited guest swung his arm violently when Ruud's fear overflowed his heart, and the bloody head was thrown away, and the hot liquid splashed on the spot. However, as if to show that Skynet was restored, a group of more than twenty patrols with torches moved towards it, and the black-clad man stood there and watched his masterpiece turn into a puddle of blood. He kicked the white porcelain bottle on the ground with a sharp kick, hitting one man in the cheek. The soldier was caught off guard and felt something shatter on his face, smashing the bridge of his nose at the same time, and when the water splashed on his face, his face was corroded, and he screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
Because of this sudden situation, the soldiers behind were dumbfounded. They were holding torches, so it was difficult to see people in the distance or not far away, but within a few feet, they could see the blood path stretching through.
"There are assassins!"
They were still alert, and rushed over with torches and swords in hand, but the night that stood seemed unwilling to leave the scene of his crime, and stood there, waiting for themselves to be discovered, attackedβ
In an instant, the sword of the exasperated guard fell down at the door in front of him. But he was missing, and before the guards could react, he shuttled between the guards and came to the rear. He didn't turn around, and he wasn't afraid of the guards chasing him. But when he took a step, more than 20 people actually fell down.
