Chapter 358: Poison!
This incident is just a small episode.
Although he was directed at himself, Lu Heng did not have the slightest hatred and anger in his heart. On the contrary, there is a touch of relaxation and comfort.
After all, if you count someone you don't know, you will always feel more or less guilty in your heart.
However, today's gift from King Jin finally made Lu Heng feel more comfortable.
Since you are not benevolent, then don't blame me for being unkind!
Just like before, all Lu Heng did was lay a trap on a road that no one had ever walked. And if you have to come up, you have to kill me with a fierce attitude. If you end up in a trap and die with no place to be buried, you can only blame yourself.
In the courtyard, the fire was blazing, and the fiery red light stirred, reflecting on the cold sweaty face of the shopkeeper, which looked a little terrifying.
Sitting opposite, Lu Heng made a cup of tea, sent it to the shopkeeper, and asked lightly, "Tea?" ”
The shopkeeper's body trembled, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, took the tea, took a sip, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and said with a dry smile: "Thank you!" ”
After Lu Heng took a sip of tea, he said lightly: "The apricot blossoms in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province should have fallen in the past few days, right?" ”
raised his head, glanced at the shopkeeper, and saw that he nodded with deep feeling. Lu Heng retracted his gaze, leaned back in his chair, and smiled noncommittally.
"Yes, at the beginning of April, it should have fallen!" After the shopkeeper sighed, he suddenly reflected, his eyes flashed with panic, and he said with a dry smile: "The villain's ancestral home is in Shanxi, so I know one or two!" ”
Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, while blowing tea, he squinted his eyes and glanced at him, and said with a slight smile: "I didn't ask anything else!" ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper seemed to be very uneasy in his heart, he looked restless. Lu Heng shook his head funny, pointed to the tea cup he was holding in his hand, and said, "Drink tea and drink tea!" ”
The shopkeeper smiled with palpitations, raised his head again, and looked at the scholar's gaze, full of vigilance.
Beside him, the charcoal fire in the stove was a little weak, and the blue smoke made my eyes hurt.
Lu Heng stood up, walked to the fire, bent down and picked up some firewood, and was about to put it in, when the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion took over.
Lu Heng smiled and sat down again. While patting the sawdust on his hand, he raised his head and glanced at the shopkeeper who was sitting in front of him with sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "It's very tiring to be on an errand in the Jin Palace!" ”
Seeing this scholar's clear eyes, there was a clear smile. The shopkeeper was shocked, and he also knew that there was no point in pretending to be there.
However, he was very surprised by how Lu Heng concluded that he was the King of Jin.
Moreover, there is a shopkeeper here. Why did he insist that he was the person of King Jin?
"Oh, look at your hands!" Lu Heng took a sip of tea, raised his chin, and said vaguely.
Hand?
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand, glanced at his clean hand, raised his head, and looked at the scholar, his eyes full of doubts.
Lu Heng put down the teacup, looked at him, and smiled: "It is more delicate than the shopkeeper's hand, you say, who is the shopkeeper here?" ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's body shook violently, and he was suddenly stunned.
"I didn't expect it to be a flaw here!" The shopkeeper looked at the scholar in shock for a long time, and after retracting his gaze, he shook his head and said with a wry smile. He sighed helplessly, raised his head, looked at Lu Heng and said, "Everyone says that you are so wise and almost demonic, but when you see it today, you really live up to your reputation!" ”
"It's just, how do you conclude that I'm from the palace?" The shopkeeper was very surprised, even if he knew that he was the person in charge of this inn, he might not be able to guess that he was from the palace.
When he asked this, the shopkeeper looked curiously at this miraculous scholar who was rumored to be in the circle, and his heart was full of puzzlement.
"Heh......, actually, I don't know!" Lu Heng looked at the shopkeeper with such a look, smiled a little embarrassedly, spread his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, I just guessed it at random." I didn't expect you to admit it so quickly! ”
Guess?
Hearing this, Xiao Er was stunned.
Looking at the scholar's faint smile, Xiao Er almost died of grievance.
After being aggrieved for a long time, Xiao Er suddenly laughed, looking up to the sky and laughing, like crazy.
"I claim to be extremely smart, but I am a stupid person!" Xiao Er laughed at himself, shook his head and said with a wry smile.
Seeing this shopkeeper, he suddenly seemed to be crazy. The soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion who were guarding the surroundings suddenly tensed up, like a pack of leopards ready to attack, ready to attack at any time.
Seeing this, Lu Heng waved his hand, signaling the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion not to be nervous.
After the shopkeeper calmed down, Lu Heng smiled slightly, raised his hand, and pointed to the chair behind him; "Say something?"
The shopkeeper sat down generously, his face was calm, and he had long since lost the panic he had at the beginning. Now he has revealed the true surname of a strategist.
"Under Wang Pinggui! He is one of the staff of His Royal Highness King Jin! The shopkeeper tidied up his clothes, hugged his fists to Lu Heng, and formally introduced himself.
"Lu Heng, Lu Yongzheng!" Lu Heng nodded, and replied with a smile, which was an answer.
"I have admired the daimyo for a long time!" Wang Pinggui smiled and looked at Lu Hengdao.
Seeing Lu Heng smiling and bowing his head, Wang Pinggui put down his hand. After staring at Lu Heng for a moment, he suddenly said, "Do you know, why did King Jin let us intercept and kill you here?" ”
"Oh?" Listening to Wang Pinggui's tone, it seems that he also knows that the surname of success is not big. But when asked at this time, it is obvious that there is something else hidden. Lu Heng frowned and thought for a moment, but he couldn't understand it. Clenched his fists and said: "I hope to teach!"
"It's very simple, delay your time in Beijing!" Wang Pinggui smiled, very cold.
Seeing that Lu Heng's eyes were slightly condensed, as if he had thought of something, Wang Pinggui smiled and said a little proudly: "That's right, the real purpose of this operation is actually not you. Rather, the woman in your house! After saying this, Wang Pinggui looked at Lu Heng playfully, waiting for his surprised reaction.
Lu Heng's eyes were slightly cold, his eyes flickered, he looked at him, and said lightly: "Go on!" ”
Such a calm look made Wang Pinggui take a big startle, and secretly speculated. Could it be that this scholar is secretly prepared?
Impossible, this strategy was developed by the county lord of Qinglan, and there will definitely be no mistakes. It must have been him who forced his composure and disturbed his mind.
After taking a deep breath and calming down. Wang Pinggui looked at Lu Heng, who was pale, intently, and said, "If I tell your wife's hiding place, can you let me live?" ”
Hearing the temptation in the other party's words, Lu Heng's calm face showed a smile. Squinting his eyes, he looked at this Wang Pinggui and said, "Do you think Lu is a person who can be manipulated by others?" Or do you think Lu is a reckless and incompetent person? ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Pinggui's face changed, and he asked in a deep voice.
Lu Heng looked at him and smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "Have you ever heard of Ximen blowing snow?" ”
"Naturally, he is your personal guard!" Wang Pinggui looked at Lu Heng in disbelief, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Yes, it is rumored outside that Ximen Fuxue is Lu Heng's personal guard, and he will not leave an inch. However, today, how can I not see his shadow.
Lu Heng looked at Wang Pinggui's surprised face, smiled slightly, put down the teacup, looked at him seriously and said, "It seems that you have already thought of it!" ”
When he was about to return from Goryeo, Lu Heng asked Agui to secretly return to Dazhou with more than ten soldiers from the Snow Wolf Battalion. The task, naturally, is to protect Liu Qingqing secretly. Although it is said, the emperor also said that he would protect Liu Qingqing's safety. However, Lu Heng still felt that the strength was not enough. That's when such a decision was made.
And the order that Agui carried was that except for Lu Heng, no one was allowed to approach Liu Qingqing.
The last straw that Wang Pinggui relied on now was also lost, and his body couldn't help trembling. In the face of death, no one can be calm.
Wang Pinggui swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, raised his head, and looked at the scholar in front of him. In an almost pleading tone, he asked, "Will you let me live?" ”
Lu Heng stood up, stretched out his hand to smooth the robe on his body, walked to the stove, picked up a branch, and picked the fire. Turning his head, he looked at Wang Pinggui, whose face was like ashes, and said lightly: "Since you are the staff of King Jin, then say something that the staff should know and say!" ”
Burning the fire a little brighter, Lu Heng threw the branch into the fire, clapped his hands, turned his head, looked at Wang Pinggui and said, "As for whether you can save your life, it depends on your sincerity!" ”
When Wang Pinggui heard this, his body shook violently.
He knew what Lu Heng said the staff should say.
However, once he says such words, even if this scholar bypasses him, King Jin will not let him go.
Looking down in thought, his eyes rolled sharply. Thinking of the predicament he was facing, Wang Pinggui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
By the fire, Lu Heng glanced at Wang Pinggui lightly, and when he saw him like this, he naturally knew in his heart that he was thinking about the degree of gain and loss.
After a while, Lu Heng turned his head and continued to pick up the charcoal in the fire. With his back to Wang Pinggui, he said lightly: "Mr. Wang, I don't know if you haven't thought about it, King Jin is planning to assassinate him." Regardless of success or not, those who participate will surely die. And His Royal Highness the King of Jin, why did he pick you? ”
Behind him, when Wang Pinggui heard this, his body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes looked frightened.
Lu Heng turned his head, looked at him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Heh...... the only explanation is that your position in the heart of His Royal Highness King Jin is far lighter than you think!" Or even ......"
The smile on Lu Heng's face was lost, replaced by seriousness and seriousness, staring at Wang Pinggui and saying word by word: "Even a discarded chess piece!" ”
Wang Pinggui saw sweat on his forehead, and his body was weak, and he sat on the ground with a look of disbelief in his eyes. Shaking his head and muttering, "No, no." His Royal Highness the King of Jin also said that if it was done at this time, he would let the Lord of Qinglan marry him! No, it won't! ”
Oh......, so that's it!
With the Qinglan County Lord of Yanguan Taiyuan as bait, plus thousands of treasures, it is estimated that no one in the world can resist this temptation.
No wonder, even if this Wang Pinggui fell into his own hands, he was still so calm and calm just now.
It's just that...... The king of Jin is a dignified son, and he actually came up with this strategy, and he still used his sister as bait, this strategy, this person, is really a little unkind.
Lu Heng turned his head and glanced at Wang Pinggui, whose face was getting paler and paler. Seeing that he still looked uneasy, he sat on the ground and muttered to himself, as if he had lost his mind. Lu Heng thought about it and walked over slowly. Stretched out his hand and pressed it on Wang Pinggui's shoulder, and said lightly: "What should be said has already been said below." Where to go, Brother Wang was born as a staff member, it is not difficult to think clearly! ”
Feeling Wang Pinggui's trembling body, Lu Heng said indifferently: "Even if you want to be loyal to the King of Jin, you will die a clear will." You should also think about whether this master, who can discard his subordinates at will, is worthy of your loyalty. And ......"
After a pause in his tone, seeing Wang Pinggui turn his head, Lu Heng looked at him fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "And your family!" ”
Letting go of his hand, Lu Heng glanced at him and said, "That's all there is to say, where to go, Brother Wang is in charge." By the way, Lu is resting here tonight, if Brother Wang wants to understand, he can come to me directly! ”
With that, Lu Heng turned his head directly and walked towards the inn hall.
Behind him, in the blazing firelight, Wang Pinggui, who was sitting on the ground, looked uncertain, and his body trembled sharply.
"Wait!" Just as Lu Heng was about to walk into the hall, Wang Pinggui suddenly said something to stop.
Seeing that Lu Heng stopped, he turned his head and looked at himself. Wang Pinggui took a deep breath and stood up from the ground. Stride over.
"On the fifth day of the sixth month, the south bank of the Yellow River will break!" Wang Pinggui took a deep breath, and after thinking about it, he looked solemn, lowered his voice and said in Lu Heng's ear.
"Yellow River?" Hearing this, Lu Heng, who was prepared in his heart, was also shocked by this news. His face changed, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he looked at Wang Pinggui and said.
"Yes!" Wang Pinggui took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. Raising his head, he looked at Lu Heng and said, "The place where the Yellow River breaks is the embankment on the south bank a hundred miles away from Luoyang City!" When the time comes, taking advantage of the Yellow River breaking and the chaos in Tokyo, His Royal Highness the King of Jin will launch a mutiny! ”
Hearing this, Lu Heng gasped, he didn't expect that King Jin would be so crazy for a throne.
Once the Yellow River bursts, thousands of kilometers of land on the south bank will be turned into an ocean in an instant, and when the time comes, the displaced people will be displaced and the plague will run rampant. If the Turkic cavalry takes the opportunity to go south, the Great Zhou will be in danger!
After taking a deep breath, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. Lu Heng turned his head and looked at Wang Pinggui with a crazy smile on his face and said, "How do you know?" ”
The stakes are so high that Lu Heng had to ask clearly.
When Wang Pinggui heard this, he shook his head and smiled. Pointing at Lu Heng, he said as a matter of course: "You and I are both staff, as a staff, isn't it easy to leave a way back for yourself?" ”
