Late at night, it was pitch black outside, and King Jing paced briskly in the study, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his face couldn't help but show joy. He learned the results of the discussion in the court during the day, and he was extremely proud, and now he finally didn't have to worry about being attacked by those ministers all day long. Hearing that the stone door of the secret room passage behind him was pushed open, he said with some excitement: "Sir's clever plan is to settle the world!" I heard someone report that Mr. let Gu go to his mother and pretend to be sick really had a miraculous effect. If there is no gentleman, Lone should now set off to be with those mountain villagers. Speaking of this, King Jing complimented: "One blow hits the point, Mr. The name of the 'Eagle Falcon' in the past is really worthy of its reputation!" ”

The masked man frowned slightly, and replied stiffly with some displeasure: "Those things that were unbearable in the past, the prince still don't mention them." I'm a grass farmer now. ”

King Jing's face froze, his face was gloomy and suddenly turned serious, and he apologized and said: "Xiao Wang is also an unintentional mistake, please forgive me for my disrespectful sin." ”

The masked man waved his hand and didn't care, he found a chair to sit down and asked casually, "Lord Wang, I don't know what to do today?" ”

King Jing hurriedly shook his head and said, "Where do you dare to tell Mr. I would like to ask you to come here today, and I really want to know what to do next. He bowed deeply, and then said, "Please give me advice!" ”

The masked man's eyes flashed, and when he saw King Jing raise his head, he said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the next step is to continue to muddy the water in the imperial court." Only when we are muddy, can we fish in troubled waters. ”

King Jing asked with some confusion: "Dare to ask what Mr. means by this?" ”

The masked man stood up, turned his back to King Jing and said hoarsely: "Judging from the dispute in the court today, Xia Guoyuan and Ye Nanqing have united. I'm sure that this alliance is dominated by Xia Guoyuan. But you have to know that the court is so big, only one person can be allowed to hold the bull's ear, and Ye Nanqing has been the right minister for many years, and he forced the left minister Yao Nai to go home and pretend to be sick. It can be seen how great his ambition and desire for power are, and how can he succumb to his own teacher. Maybe I have some bad idea in my heart right now. Therefore, this kind of alliance between them will only be temporary, and even if we do not intervene, it will be inevitable that the two tigers will fight each other in the near future. As a result, either Xia Guoyuan retreated into the opposition, or Ye Nanqing resigned and returned to his hometown, and there was no other way to go. Xia Guoyuan and Ye Nanqing must have known the emperor's intentions, so now they are in harmony on the surface and joining forces with the outside world. The only thing the prince could do now was to send an assassin to assassinate one of the two of them. ”

King Jing suddenly realized: "Lone sent someone to kill Xia Guoyuan and Ye Nanqing, and then blame the other party?" ”

The masked man said lightly: "The prince must not underestimate the people of the world. Xia Guoyuan and Ye Nanqing are both scheming people, how could they fall for your plan to marry you? You'd better send someone to do it perfectly and leave no clues, so they'll naturally be suspicious of each other. ”

King Jing's face was slightly red, and he arched his hand embarrassedly and said: "It's still Mr. who understands people's hearts, otherwise Xiao Wang will have to work in vain again." Please mention more in the future. ”

The masked man didn't answer, and went straight to the secret passage and closed the stone door.

Seeing the stone gate closed, King Jing, who had just looked like a corporal of Lixian, suddenly turned blue and said with a hideous face: "To dare to be so presumptuous in front of Lone, it is really not a son of man!" When Lone ascends to the throne, the first one will skin you and cramp you, and cut you with a thousand knives. ”

The masked man stood behind the stone gate for a moment, a faint sneer rising from the corner of his mouth. Of course, he couldn't hear what King Jing said, but he had dealt with the Heavenly Family all his life, and he still knew these unsympathetic people very thoroughly.

After more than half an hour, when it was so quiet that no sound could be heard, there was a knock on the study door. King Jing, who was sitting at the desk, was not surprised at all, and directly ordered, "Come in." ”

The person who came was dressed in night clothes, and his body was like a drooping old man, and when he entered the house, he knelt directly on the ground and did not say a word.

After a while, King Jing put down the book and said lightly without joy: "Say, what happened last time?" If there is no reason to convince the king, go to the underworld with your family. ”

The black-clothed man's body shook violently, and he trembled his lips and said, "Lord Wang!" The minions led people to Yangzhou to stop Xia Guoyuan's convoy, and also killed the master sent by the emperor. When he caught up with Xia Guoyuan in the woods, he suddenly met a young man, who was outstanding in martial arts and was not much worse than a minion. The minion was already seriously injured when he killed the palace master, and he was really unable to defeat the young man, so he had to retreat in the end, which allowed Xia Guoyuan to escape with his life. The slave deserves to die, please forgive the prince! ”

King Jing rubbed his forehead, carefully considering how true or false the man in black was saying, and only after a moment did he speak: "No matter what the reason, you still didn't kill Xia Guoyuan. If a dog can't bite, what is the use of the king's dog? ”

The masked man begged eagerly, "Spare your life! The minions will find an opportunity to kill Xia Guoyuan later and make up for their mistakes. Please wait a few more days. ”

King Jing remained indifferent, and pushed the rosewood box on the desk to the ground with an expressionless face, and the broken wooden box revealed a bloody palm. The palms of the hands are white, and they are obviously not the hands of laborers. "This time it's just to teach you a lesson, next time it's not so simple."

The man in black bowed his head and knelt on the ground crying and weeping, looking at the palm not far in front of him, his heart was like a knife. He reached for the box and retracted it, afraid that his nephew's hand was real. After struggling for a while, he closed the red sandalwood box and hugged it in his arms, his hoarse sobs were like a lone wolf that had lost its little wolf, and there was a vicious look of resentment in his eyes.

When the black-clothed man's crying gradually stopped, King Jing ordered: "In the past two days, find an opportunity to assassinate Ye Nanqing or Xia Guoyuan, either of them." Remember: don't kill, just don't leave a flaw. This is the last chance this king gives you, if you fail again, you can kill yourself by neck, just accompany your family to walk Huangquan Road. ”

The man in black was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Yes, the slave obeys!" After speaking, he picked up the red sandalwood box and left the room and disappeared into the night.

King Jing frowned and sat alone at the desk tapping his fingers on the tabletop, and the purple gold sandalwood made a clanging metallic sound, which was particularly special in the dark night.

On the second and third days, after non-stop exploration, Xu Anping and Wu San'er identified several suspicious courtyards through their own means. If nothing else, the Bloody Hand Alliance's rudder is within these courtyards. Without any hesitation, Xu Anping and Wu San'er each reported to Xue Pingchuan, and the latter reported to the Qianhu Jiang Zhijie of the Fusi of Beizhen after confirming the news. As a result, the vicious beast began to open its cannibal mouth and bite at the Assassin organization called the Blood Hand Alliance.
