Although it is said that every righteous slaughter of dogs, most of them are scholars, but before the scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were not affected by Confucianism, the disciples of various sects and schools still had their own bottom lines in terms of doing things.
Slaughtering dogs, lowly people are definitely not, such people for their own benefit, often can do a lot of unimaginable things, the influence of the future generations of cautious Xinling Jun stealing talismans to save Zhao Zhong, Xinling Jun three thousand guests, but only the righteous Hou Huan, Zhu Hai can be useful, it can be seen here, mixed eating and drinking is not a few.
This poor man who accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the Mo family, if he got the treasure, he wanted to report the matter to the government, but if the government knew, but rewarded some money and silk things, how can this hammer deal be compared to telling the matter to Gongzi Wuji, no, a few years ago, Luo ran to Gongzi Wuji to bribe the steward a little, and ran to pretend to be a famous student, and since then he has no worries about food and clothing, and is respected by the people around him. As for the future if someone comes, the fake has become true, and the real will become fake.
Gongzi Wuji's doorman led the officers and soldiers to one of the Mo family's hiding places, and soon the officers and soldiers surrounded the place, but did not attack rashly, why is this?
Just when Gongzi Wuji and Xiong Wuwei and others were puzzled by this, they suddenly heard the news, it turned out that this house was an old mansion of the queen's father, Mrs. Lu Linghou's mother's house, because of the great relationship, although Yin Mao surrounded this place at the first time he got the news, but because of the special situation in this place, he did not let people attack it, and only reported this matter to Lu Linghou and King Wei respectively, so he made this decision.
————————————————————————————————————
The secret agent surrounded the mansion by the Wei soldiers, and Yin Mao besieged the mansion without attacking it, and informed Ying Xuan about the King of Wei and Lu Linghou respectively, Ying Xuan nodded and said, "You continue to keep an eye on it, and report it immediately if there is any change." ”
The agent said "no" and turned to leave.
Ying Xuan summoned Xiaochuan and informed Yi Xiaochuan of the matter.
Yi Xiaochuan frowned and said, "I didn't expect such a secret place to be known to outsiders?" ”
Ying Xuan nodded and said, "I heard that it was the new guest of Gongzi Wuji, and he led the officers and soldiers forward, it seems that this Gongzi Wuji is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
"Then how can we rescue these Mo family disciples?"
"Only by finding the person who blames them can we save their lives, otherwise?"
"The person who blames the disciples of the Mo family is just to blame the patriarch for the blame, so presumably in addition to the Empress Dowager Xuan and the Chu State, it is really difficult to come up with a third person?"
"What you said is right, if this bureau is Wei Yu's arrangement of thieves to shout to catch thieves, this is too cumbersome, if the Empress Dowager Xuan has sent a secret envoy or some secret letter to the King of Wei to make a promise, the King of Wei does not have to make this matter known to the whole city and then arrest us, I came to Daliang to recuperate is arranged by the King of Qin, even if Yingji has no big effect, the King of Wei throws a mouse taboo, and cares about the power of the Ying clan, and he will not make it blatantly to capture me."
Yi Xiaochuan frowned and said, "Then only the state of Chu remains, blame the patriarch for provoking the hatred and dissatisfaction of the king of Wei against the state of Qin, and take the opportunity to invite the king of Wei to send troops to help solve the danger of the state of Chu, killing two birds with one stone." ”
Ying Xuan nodded and said, "It's just that what I don't understand is, why did the Chu State determine that the Mo family disciples were used by me, and how did the Chu State know that the dragon scales were in the Wei Palace?" ”
"Every time I see a disciple of the Mo family, there is no second person present, and as for my identity, I have never mentioned it to outsiders, could it be that the disciple of the Mo family saw me standing on the side of the patriarch on any other occasion, otherwise, even if the disciple of the Mo family wants to be a traitor, there should be nothing to betray."
Xiao Chuan thought for a while and said, "As for the matter of dragon scales, if the secret agent of the patriarch can know about this, then the secret agent of the Chu State should be able to find out." ”
"You're right, since the ancestor Boyi handed over the dragon scales to the Wei people, the dragon scales in the Wei State can be regarded as having experienced a stack of infant soldiers, it is not easy to keep them to this day, if they are stolen by people, it will naturally be angry and abnormal, but because of this, the place where the dragon scales are hidden must be very secret, how do the Chu people know?"
Xiao Chuan said, "Don't be in a hurry first, I'm worried that those Mo family disciples who are surrounded will all be killed before we find the dragon scales, or they will be tortured after being caught." ”
"We are understaffed, and fighting hard is just self-defeating, and we will expose ourselves more quickly."
"What then?"
"We can only wait, and on the way to escort after the chaos, we will lead the disciples of the Mo family who have not been found to rescue them."
"What if they all resist to the death?"
"That's only at the mercy of God, I'm afraid that not even a fly can fly in there at this time."

In the courtyard of the old mansion of Mrs. Lu Linghou's mother's house, all the disciples of the Mo family who were besieged were anxious, and people kept jumping on the roof to look out, only to see that the Wei soldiers outside the wall were densely packed, a hundred times their own, even if the people with high kung fu were afraid that it would be difficult to escape, and they all returned to the house disappointed after seeing it.
A disciple of the Mo family said to his senior brother Yiren: "Senior brother, it is better for us to come to the Wei capital Daliang is a matter of being controlled by others, and drag the King of Wei out of the plate. ”
Yiren angrily reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense, you need to know that no one sees the cultivation, and God knows in our hearts, how can we do such a treacherous thing." ”
The disciple was unconvinced, and said, "But we didn't steal the dragon scales." How can such a monstrous calamity be counted on us? ”
Another disciple also said, "Could it be the one who instructed us, who openly used us, but secretly stole dragon scales?" ”
Yiren shook his head and said, "If that's the case, how can they separate us?" ”
The disciple said again, "Senior brother, don't forget, we were separated, didn't we just be divided and conquered by the Wei soldiers, and we were broken one by one? ”
"This, no matter what, we must not do treacherous things, if the Wei soldiers attack, we swear to break through the siege, if someone is lucky enough to break out of the siege, go to another place to meet the disciples of my Mo family, if the hidden disciples are safe, then it is not to be done by our people, the surviving people must find out the culprit who murdered us, and take their heads to sacrifice our souls in the sky. If another disciple is also slaughtered, wait until you go back to tell the torch, no matter which side the other party is, our Mo family will not let the other party go. ”

In the Wei Palace, Wei Yu was summoning Lu Ling to wait for a long time...
Wei Yu: "According to Guozhang, Gongzi Wuji is very suspicious? ”
Lu Linghou said, "Weichen heard that the place where the dragon scales are placed is very secret, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know, even the queen has never known. ”
Wei Yu said, "That's true, only the Wei kings of the past dynasties can know here, when the lone king was the crown prince in the past, it was only when he was conditioning his body, and his father took out the dragon scales, and returned them to his father immediately after use." ”
Lu Linghou nodded and said, "The king has been in the Zhao Kingdom for many years, and he doesn't know a lot about the things in the palace. ”
Wei Yu said abruptly, "The lonely king knows that he is incomparable, if it weren't for the help of the national master, I am afraid that he would have died for others today." ”
Lu Linghou hurriedly humbly said, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's all because of the king's benevolence and filial piety, and the former king of Fang Cai Ling changed his original intention." ”
Wei Yu smiled slightly with relief, and then said, "Are you saying that your subordinates found out that Wuji's doorman had contact with the Chu envoy?" ”
Lu Linghou said with a smile: "Wechen has always felt that this matter is by no means as simple as it seems, until Yin Mao sent someone to arrest the mansion that Weichen held before, and Weichen understood Gongzi Wuji's plan to kill several arrows. ”
Wei Yu secretly said in his heart, "I'm afraid that you originally wanted to use this matter as a means to blackmail him in the future, but when you saw that the fire burned on you today, you came to express your loyalty in a hurry, Guozhang, Guozhang, what do you think, do you really think that the lonely king doesn't know?" ”
Although Wei Yu thought of Lu Linghou like this, he asked without the slightest hint on his face, "What is the plan to kill several birds with one stone?" ”
Lu Linghou "Weichen thought that this matter was done by Gongzi Wuji, he must have colluded with the Chu envoy, and the Chu envoy who the king can still remember has asked to see the king many times, hoping that the king will send troops to help the king and refuse for the king, if the Chu envoy and the prince Wuji collude, I am afraid that the king will be disadvantaged. ”
Wei Yu said to Lu Linghou, "Are you saying that they colluded with each other, first stealing the dragon scales, then blaming the Mo family disciples, and then leading out the masterminds behind the scenes?" By the way, he will marry the prince again, so that the lonely king and the prince will have a gap, and then let them benefit from the fisherman? ”
Lu Linghou nodded and replied, "I, Wang Yingming." ”
Wei Yu asked puzzledly, "Then what is the Chu envoy trying to do?" He suddenly smiled clearly, "I understand, I understand, the purpose of the Chu envoy is to blame the head of the patriarch of the Qin State, Ying Xuan, for the crime of the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
Lu Linghou nodded and said, "I heard that the head of the Ying clan, Ying Xuan, is very decisive, very wise, and deeply loved by the Ying clan, and this woman is by no means a good type, why was this woman injured before, the king must have heard of it." ”
Wei Yu nodded, "According to what Guozhang said, then Yingxuan is not suspicious?" ”
Lu Linghou replied, "If it is the patriarch of the Ying clan, then the king will definitely send troops to help Chu under his anger, and he hopes to defeat Chu the most, and this woman will not be the second choice, she will never make a branch at this time." ”
Wei Yu asked Lu Linghou, "According to what Guozhang said, then whether these Mo disciples are caught or not, what can't the Lone King get?" ”
Lu Linghou said to Wei Yu, "Weichen suggests that the king might as well follow the trend and use them to seek the greatest benefit for the king?" ”
Wei Yu asked curiously, "What can I do about it, hurry up and talk to King Gu." ”
"The king might as well besiege the house here, and find someone else to pretend to be a disciple of the Mo family to tell the world, saying that they were instructed by the Ying clan patriarch Ying Xuan to steal the dragon scales, and at the same time the king can quickly whip people to inform the king of Qin, if the king of Qin is not moved, then the use value of this Ying clan patriarch is limited, why not take advantage of the situation to kill her, and then pretend to be in the middle of the plan, send Wei soldiers to help Chu State, and wait for the day when the Wei soldiers go out of the city, Chu envoy and Gongzi Wuji relax their vigilance, and the king will send someone to capture them, If this matter is announced to the world, Chu and Qin will become mortal enemies, and they will be afraid of the Qin people's revenge, Chu envoys naturally dare not refute the king, and the king can justifiably transfer the Wei soldiers sent to help Chu back, and my Wei country has not lost a penny, but since then I have taken the great handle of Chu State, it is not a great benefit to our country, at that time, we will let the Mo disciples besieged here, Then the Ying clan or the disciples of the Mo family will never hold a grudge against the king again, the king is just deceived by the Chu people. ”
Wei Yu asked, "What if King Qin supports this Ying clan leader?" ”
Lu Linghou smiled and said, "Under the rule of King Qin, he doesn't say anything, how can he embarrass our Wei State, we just take this opportunity to discuss with King Qin about the ownership of Ancheng, otherwise, if the king doesn't like it, you can send troops to help Chu." ”
Wei Yu clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, wonderful." ”
Wei Yu made Lu Linghou fully responsible for this matter, and after Lu Linghou left, Wei Wei called the close eunuch to change clothes with him, and the eunuch asked puzzledly, "Is the king going to use this to get rid of Gongzi Wuji?" ”
Wei Yu shook his head and said, "I may have had this plan before, but Lu Linghou is scheming, the lonely king has to leave an opponent for me, the abbot, otherwise the lonely king will not be able to sleep well." ”
