Chapter 332: Two Escapes
Cui Teng had a good night's sleep and laughed out loud in his dream, and when he was forcibly pushed awake, he naturally felt indescribable anger. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What?" Cui Teng sat up sharply and raised his fist, scaring the person who pushed him into jumping back.
Immediately afterwards, the person who was taken aback was Cui Teng, and the person who woke him up was a eunuch, and beside the eunuch, stood the emperor, the general Deng Cui, and many guards.
Last night's events came back to his mind all at once, and the dream turned into a nightmare, Cui Teng was so frightened that his face turned white, thinking that the emperor had mobilized the people to take revenge on him, so he hurriedly lifted the futon, knelt on the bed, kowtowed to the emperor first, and said: "I thought it was a ...... given to me by His Majesty."
This is the emperor's room, the emperor's bed, Cui Teng spent an unforgettable night here, but afterwards he felt that he had caused a big disaster, how could the emperor give up a unique stunner in the world to others for no reason? And don't say a word beforehand? There must have been a misunderstanding, and he would have made a mistake and committed an unpardonable sin.
Before falling asleep completely, Cui Teng thought of several excuses, the plan was to pretend not to know, and to pretend to be misunderstanding, but his face changed color, knelt down and kowtowed, and he didn't ask to defend himself, all of which showed that he knew that he had done something wrong.
Han Ruzi didn't come for this, the stunner in Cui Teng's eyes was just a woman with miraculous skills in his eyes.
"What about the King of the East Sea?"
Cui Teng was stunned, "Your Majesty...... Don't know what happened last night yet? ”
"It wasn't last night, just now, I'll talk about it later." Han Ruzi didn't want to pursue the matter, but seeing Cui Teng's frightened appearance, he changed his mind and his tone was a little stern.
Cui Teng fell backwards, he felt that he had slept for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be a short while, sitting on the bed in a daze, ruthless, and said: "It's worth it, what Your Majesty does, I don't have a word of complaint...... Uh, no ......"
"Tell me where the East Sea King has gone?" For Han Ruzi, this is the most important thing.
"King of the East Sea?" Cui Teng's mind finally turned, "He's not in his room...... Oh, didn't you run away? This guy didn't notify me, probably because he didn't find me. ”
Han Ruzi guessed correctly, Cui Teng was indeed the one in the know, "How did the King of the East China Sea escape?" ”
"Hehe, Your Majesty, don't worry, the King of the East China Sea is doing a good deed this time, and he has explored the way for His Majesty."
Cui Teng told the story of the escape of the two servants in the palace and the plan of the king of the East China Sea, "The king of the East China Sea pretends to be an ordinary soldier, if he can gain the trust of the Huns, he will promise to bring more soldiers from the city, and ...... when the time comes."
Cui Teng looked at Deng Cui, he didn't tell all the plans, in fact, he didn't need to say anything, the whole plan was clear at a glance, only he didn't understand the whole truth.
The maid in the mansion was involved in such a big conspiracy, and Deng Cui didn't know anything, which really made him lose his face, but he couldn't defend it.
"The King of the East Sea will not be coming back." Han Ruzi said that the king of the East China Sea still chose to betray, this is nothing, as long as the emperor is still alive, as long as the siege of Jincheng can be lifted, the king of the East China Sea has no way to escape, what makes Han Ruzi angry is that someone escaped from Jincheng and surrendered to the Xiongnu, but he didn't know about such a big thing, so many official documents every day, and every morning at the court meeting, no one reported the matter.
"The King of the East Sea will definitely come back, and then take His Majesty and I out, he promised me." Cui Teng swore that he was completely persuaded by the King of the East China Sea.
Han Ruzi didn't argue with him either, and asked, "What about the maid in the Deng Mansion?" ”
"You should follow the king of the East China Sea out of the city, the king of the East China Sea is smart, when he interrogated the maid, he claimed to be surnamed Chai, and then persuaded General Fan to put the maid back to the Deng Mansion, saying that he wanted to put a long line to catch a big fish, and after a day he found the maid, saying that the Chai family was dissatisfied with His Majesty, in short, he won the trust of the maid. But I didn't expect them to be in contact with the outside of the city so quickly, and I thought it would take a few days. ”
Han Ruzi's face changed slightly, and he said to Deng Cui: "You can't get out of the city, the king of the East China Sea himself is also a fake, maybe he won't reveal your identity, that maid ......"
For Deng Cui, there are not many choices at this time, "This plan is already very risky, Hua Bin may not care about his son's life at all, those Jianghu people may also change their fortunes halfway, now the risk is just a little greater, we have different routes to escape, and we may not meet in the Hun camp." ”
"It's still too risky." Han Ruzi said to Wang He, the leader of the guards: "Guard that tunnel, don't let outsiders enter the city, go to the Deng Mansion to see if the maid is still there, and send someone to call General Fan." ”
"Yes." Wang He stepped back.
Deng Cui took a few steps back, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Deng is not talented, he knows a little about military arts, and he can only tell the truth to His Majesty: Jincheng has no reason to defend, if the Huns attack with all their might, Jincheng can hold for three days at most, and gathering troops outside the city is the only way to break the siege, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I must go out of the city, as for the maid in my house, it depends on the will of God." ”
Cui Teng, who was kneeling on the bed, glanced at the emperor, saying that Deng Cui was not credible, but Han Ruzi preferred to believe the general, who had known him for a long time, "Go to see Hua Bin first, and you must have his cooperation." ”
Han Ruzi turned around and walked out, Cui Teng scratched his head, hurriedly got out of bed, and shouted while getting dressed: "Wait for me!" ”
Liu Jie had already woken up, guarding outside with a group of eunuchs, and he was also unsure of why, Han Ruzi ordered: "Take care of Master Qin's daughter, wait for me to come back." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty......" Liu Jie watched Deng Cui, Cui Teng and a group of guards following behind the emperor, even more inexplicable, and when everyone walked away, he hurriedly entered the house to check, only to see that Zhang Youcai was still asleep.
Eight of the seventeen Assassins were killed, and the remaining nine were captured alive and sent to the palace.
Meng E was telling Hua Bin about her plan, "You only have one chance, take a few people out of the city, and then return to Jincheng, maybe you can save the lives of your father and son." ”
"Alas, how can I ...... How can I believe you? Hua Bin stared at the female guard, he had always had doubts about Meng E, and even tried to encourage the pianist to go into battle first, but he still couldn't escape the trap.
"Because you want the Emperor's head, because I did poison the Emperor." Meng E was not surprised, she had done enough to gain anyone's trust.
Hua Bin sighed, that's right, this female guard really used poison on the emperor, he couldn't help it, he didn't know that the emperor had been in the dark before, and said: "The gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, the emperor is so adventurous, it is definitely not the blessing of Great Chu." ”
Meng E didn't explain, "Da Chu doesn't need you to think about it, you should think about the life and death of yourself and your son first." ”
The Flower Tiger King said angrily on the side: "Father, don't listen to her, this woman is willing to be a lackey for the emperor, sooner or later she will be punished, our father and son die here, and they will be famous all over the world in the future." ”
It was at this time that Han Ruzi brought people in.
Cui Teng had already followed, and when he saw the Flower Tiger King after entering the house, he was taken aback, but he didn't say anything, the two met in the capital before, but they were not friends.
The captives and many guards, the room was very crowded, Han Ruzi didn't say much, stood in front of Hua Bin, stared at him for a while, and said to Meng E, "Did you poison them?" ”
"Well, it's going to happen in six hours." Meng E replied.
"I can take you out of town!" Gui Yuehua, who was tied to the very edge, shouted, he had completely collapsed, and he was willing to do anything in order to survive, "We will go out of the city about the third watch, and someone will meet you ten miles outside the city!" ”
The other captives scolded angrily, but Hua Bin did not squeak and looked back at the emperor.
"Father, you won't ......" the Flower Tiger King noticed his father's hesitation.
Hua Bin turned her head to look at her son, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty wants to go out of the city?" ”
"It's someone else." Han Ruzi didn't reveal Deng Cui's name, Hua Bin didn't recognize Deng Cui, so there was no need for him to know too much.
"Now the third watch has passed." Hua Bin reminded.
"You'll have a way of explaining it to the greeter."
"And then I have to come back?"
"Well, let's just say you're going to continue the assassination." Han Ruzi thought of an excuse for him.
"Your Majesty will definitely spare the lives of our father and son?"
"Capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be escaped, and it is inevitable that you will be imprisoned, but you will have a chance to make meritorious service and atone for your crimes, and you will talk about it when you come back." Han Ruzi looked left and right, "My words are my will." ”
"Father!" The Flower Tiger King shouted, "Everyone has come all the way to ......."
"Shut up, the tide is over, you don't understand anything." Hua Bin said to his son, thought about it, and said to the emperor, "How many people do you want to bring?" ”
"Not much, five people."
Hua Bin nodded, "Let Gui Yuehua go out of the city with me, he knows those who greet him, and then we will come back together." ”
Gui Yuehua nodded vigorously.
Hua Bin, the "Junhou" who worked hard to save the heroes of the rivers and lakes, surrendered to the emperor in front of his companions, and the captives were all furious, except for the King of Huahu, the others scolded.
Hua Bin was indifferent.
Waiting for the scolding to stop, Han Ruzi said: "You colluded with the Huns to pursue small righteousness and sacrifice great righteousness, and the sin is unforgivable. ”
"Let's destroy Dachu first and then drive the Huns!" One of the captives shouted.
Han Ruzi disdained to argue with these people, took a step back, the guards were signaled, they drew their swords one after another, and the seven captives were killed, only Gui Yuehua and Hua Huwang were left, and there was one Hua Bin.
Gui Yuehua was already frightened, her whole body trembled, and the face of the Flower Tiger King also changed, and he opened his mouth, no longer daring to oppose his father's decision.
Hua Bin kept his composure, "If you want to go, leave now, and if you wait, the Huns will be suspicious." ”
Han Ruzi turned around and left, Meng E and Cui Teng followed, and the rest of the matter was left to the guards.
Wang He just came back from the Deng Mansion, the maid was missing, and no one had seen her since yesterday evening.
Fan Bangshan was also ordered to arrive, and was surprised to learn that he had been appointed as the general of the city guard.
Cui Teng and Fan Bangshan were both bewitched by the king of the East China Sea, thinking that they were doing things for the emperor, so they concealed many things, Han Ruzi was angry for a while, but at this time decided not to pursue it for the time being, the loyalty of these two people is unquestionable, but they are just a little stupid and are being used.
Hua Bin and Gui Yuehua walked out of the room with five people, and left in a hurry under the escort of a team of guards, without saying goodbye to the emperor.
Deng Cui's life and death are unpredictable, and Han Ruzi must make all kinds of preparations, "Inform the soldiers of the whole army to be ready for battle at any time, the city gate is closed, unless I am personally present, otherwise even if there is a holy decree, it is not allowed to be opened." ”
"Yes." Fan hit the mountain and answered, still confused.
Han Ruzi knows that the next few days are the most critical, can Deng Cui escape smoothly? Can you assemble troops from outside the Cypriots? Who will win the main battle of the Huns, the main battle and the two factions? will directly affect the survival of Jincheng and even Dachu. (To be continued.) )
