Chapter 140: The Beauty Scheme
At sunset, at this moment in the Biyun Pavilion
Li Congqing was sitting on the soft collapse, holding the newspapers from all over the capital in his hand, and the palace maid next to him was serving tea and water, and the palace maid accidentally poured water on Li Congqing's lap.
"King Qi forgives sins!" The goddess of the palace looked nervous, took a tablecloth and wiped it on Li Congqing's leg, and carefully wiped it on that end from time to time.
Li Congqing just wanted to be angry, he felt an itch on his thighs, and suddenly looked up. I saw that although the posture of the palace maid in front of me was not outstanding, it was better than when she was young, the face was like a peach blossom, the snow-colored skin on her neck, and the pair of small hands should be very smooth to the touch.
Li Congqing took the opportunity to touch the palace maid's hand, and it was as smooth as an egg, and it could be broken by blowing.
"King Qi ......" The palace maid shyly sighed, and immediately withdrew her hand to take the cloth, and said embarrassedly.
As soon as Li Congqing heard this weak voice, he suddenly had a lustful heart, but there were still a few generals around, and he had a lustful heart but no lustful guts, so he had to signal the palace maid to withdraw from the pavilion with his eyes first.
When the palace maid saw King Qi's face, she seemed to be reluctant, and immediately hurriedly packed up and withdrew from the pavilion.
Before closing the door, Li Congqing still didn't forget to glance at the palace maid.
And after the palace maid left the pavilion, she followed a deserted path, and then went to a dormitory.
In front of the dormitory stood a middle-aged woman, dressed like a palace official.
"Aunt Xiao."
When the man heard this, he turned his head, and it was actually Xiao Hongxiao, the master of ceremonies.
The palace maid said: "Everything has been done according to Aunt Xiao's wishes, then Li Congqing is really a shameless person." β
"Well done."
β¦β¦
On the side of Biyun Pavilion, not long after the palace maid went out, a door of Biyun Pavilion had been opened, and several generals hurriedly walked in.
Seeing this, Li Congqing got up from the soft couch and walked in front of a general, "General Mo, those ministers and envoys are gone, right?" β
"The last general has sent them back to their respective mansions according to the prince's orders, and I believe that these ministers will also be very grateful to the prince in their hearts."
"Well, that's good." Li Congqing didn't feel a little happy when he heard this, what he was thinking about at the moment was Li Yu, and then he asked again, "Did Li Yu find it?" β
The general lowered his head, and he said hesitantly: "Lord, there is still no news in the city, the last general and others have been looking for a day and a night but have not found it, and I also ask the prince to send additional men and horses to secretly search the city, I believe they will not escape far." β
"Hmph-" Li Congqing was very upset in his heart, but when he heard the general's announcement, the green tendons on his face had burst out, he slapped the table, and roared: "You group of waste, you have been looking for so long and you can't find Li Yu, Zhao Dezhao and others, this Wang Bai has fed you." β
When the other generals in the cabinet heard this, they also lowered their heads at the same time and didn't say a word, because Li Yu and the others were just women and children, and they actually let them run away under the noses of these big men, and it was not a taste in their hearts when they thought about it.
General Wang saw that Li Congqing was angry, and he was also worried about King Qi in his heart, did he have to find Li Yu, Li Yu has not been found at this moment, but Li Yu's disappearance is not necessarily a bad thing, maybe this King of Qi is in charge of the military and government of the Tang Dynasty.
Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, and what Li Congqing needs is to sit down on this matter, and wait for himself to become the lord of the Tang State, so that everything will be justified.
As soon as General Wang's mind turned, he arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, there is a word in the end that I don't know whether to say or not?" β
Li Congqing said: "Uncle Wang, what you say is, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong." β
"Lord Wang, the last general thinks that this matter is also a good thing, and now the ministers all think that it is King Zheng's rebellion, and the prince only needs to fake the news that the lord of the country is dead, and then get the support of the ministers to take the throne."
"Is that okay?" When Li Congqing heard this, he said suspiciously, "What about Zhao Dezhao's side, the envoys of the Song State will not be so good?" β
"King Zheng rebelled, naturally everything was borne by King Zheng, as for the Song Kingdom, if the King of Wei could not be found, the blame could also be put on King Zheng, the prince thought about it, even Li Yu died, and he may have a misfortune. Moreover, Ouyang Leader also hoped that King Wei would not be able to return to the Song Kingdom this time. β
"Uncle Wang is not bad, it's just ......" Li Congqing heard it and said again, "Then what if Li Yu appears?" β
Li Congqing paced back and forth in the huge Biyun Pavilion, he stopped all of a sudden, took another step at once, and looked at General Wang's body.
Wang Counselor smiled at the corner of his mouth, and arched his hand: "Lord, tonight the palace is on fire, isn't Li Yu dead by himself, as long as we release the news of Li Yu's death, then the Tang Dynasty will think that Li Yu is dead, and it was killed by King Zheng, then all the spearheads will be aimed at King Zheng, and the prince has the chess piece of King Zheng in his hand. β
Li Congqing listened to General Wang's suggestion, the gloomy color on his face was swept away, the corners of his eyebrows began to stretch, and all his thoughts were opened, he smiled and nodded: "Well, Uncle Wang's suggestion is good." This is what the king did, and you will go down immediately. β
"The prince said goodbye," and then General Wang and Huangfu Jixun got up and retired, and each led a team of forbidden soldiers to the east of the palace.
β¦β¦
Tonight is still a waning moon,
The moon was very white, and a little wind began to blow in the sky, and the wind whined over the halls and houses, bringing a bitter cold, and the crows screamed in the sky.
In the middle of the night, suddenly a red light appeared in the distant sky under the night sky, and when the wind blew, the light became more and more obvious.
"Oh no, it's out of the water." Suddenly, the palace attendants and maids came out of the palaces and looked at the sky, and the sky was already blazing red, and they went to call the forbidden army.
"Your Majesty, Your Majestyβ" The female officials in the palace also pretended to shout when they saw that there was a fire in the hall where Li Yu lived, and they had long known that Li Yu was not in that palace.
The fire became more and more intense, and the direction of the fire was the palace where Li Yu usually lived.
Huangfu Jixun has already led a team of forbidden troops to come.
Huangfu Jixun's pro-army asked: "General Huangfu, will Your Majesty?" β
"Quick, let someone carry some water, Your Majesty may be inside."
Suddenly, there was a strong wind, and the fire suddenly spread again, and the fire burned more and more.
In the darkness of the night, the sky over the palace to the east was blazing, and the wood was crackling.
Suddenly, a general hurriedly ran to Huangfu Jixun, his face was already blackened by the fire, and he said: "General, the fire is too big, what can I do!" β
Huangfu Jixun suddenly saw that the fire was burning more and more, so he instructed the general, "This fire is burning even bigger, you must try to extinguish the fire, otherwise the entire palace will be turned to ashes, and then the king of Qi will blame it." β
After Huangfu Jixun finished speaking, he went to Biyun Pavilion again.
Huangfu Jixun's face was flushed for a while, and his face was slightly red from the heat wave, "The last general has seen the prince, the fire has already started, and now many people think that Li Yu is in this palace." β
"It's good to burn the fire, it's just ......" Li Congqing just heard a few generals talk about it, and then went out of the pavilion, looking at the palace in the east has been on fire, but the fire is burning more and more with the help of the wind, although the fire is burning, but there is a light wind tonight, and the fire can't be used for a while, "The fire can be extinguished!" β
One of King Qi's faces was already tense, would this fire turn the entire palace into ashes, he didn't want a magnificent palace to be burned down by the fire all at once.
"Well, you're doing a good job, those corpses are all arranged."
Huangfu Jixun said proudly: "As soon as the fire is extinguished, those corpses will be turned into charcoal, and no one can distinguish them, and Chengxin Hall will almost be burned to ruins." β
Li Congqing nodded, his eyes were full of pride, "Hmm, that's good." β
β¦β¦
In Jinling City, on a long and gloomy street, in a shop in the west of the city, there is a wreath in it, and there are various dark utensils, which looks particularly terrifying in the dark and cold night.
The brocade-robed man stood by a wreath, listening to the report of the ghostly visit.
Li Congqing temporarily mastered the palace ban, but the brocade robe man was unwilling, that day the cold arrow on Qixia Mountain was shot by him, and the dead person was Li Jingda, the king of Qi, Zhao Dezhao always thought that his own men and horses shot Li Jingda, the king of Qi.
Li Jingda, the king of Qi, is dead, and the hatred between his son Li Congqing and Li Yu has also died with his father, but the hatred has not dissipated, and now Li Yu's whereabouts are unknown, which is equivalent to burying the end of Li Congqing's destruction, he is very happy to see all this, how did the Li family come to be, it was taken from the hands of Yang Wuren,
The brocade-robed man took out the green steel sword, the blade of the sword was like a pool of autumn water, and the fire was reflected in the candlelight, and the sword blade on it was cold and shining, and with a slight swing, the sword blade light spread out with the candlelight, and flowed in all directions.
The brocade-robed man stroked the sword body with his hand, and a picture had already appeared in his mind: Li Yu, Li Congqing and others would become lonely ghosts under his sword.
He swung his sword, and the wreath was torn apart and shattered.
The cold light flashed, forcing people to come, and the corners of the brocade-robed man's mouth hooked up an evil smile, and the whole room looked very cold.
"Your Excellency!" These ghosts are lined up, standing behind the brocade-robed people in a serious and orderly manner, each of them is holding steel claws in their hands, the front part of this steel claw creates the white bone form of a skeleton, these skulls are very cold and cold under the candle flame, but it is very consistent with the name of the ghost sorrow, and these people, they are also waiting for orders in place.
In the midst of the ghost's sorrow, a blue-shirted strategist arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency, it is said that Li Congqing also likes beauties, why don't you let Qin Xingshou go to the palace to present a song and dance performance for Li Congqing." β
"Qin Xingshou." The brocade-robed man muttered, and the head of Qin Xing that he was referring to under these hands was Qin Wanlan, a famous prostitute in Jinling of the Tang Kingdom. But as soon as he heard that the strategist suggested that Qin Wanlan go, the brocade-robed man seemed to be a little relieved about Qin Wanlan.
The brocade robe man didn't know why, the age difference between the two was more than 20 years, but this Qin Qianlan had a face like his deceased wife, the brocade robe man naturally didn't want Qin Wanlan to put himself in danger, on the contrary, he hoped that someone else could replace Qin Wanlan and lurk beside Li Congqing.
The brocade-robed man immediately asked, "Who in this Jinling City can replace Qin Xingshou?" β
"Your Excellency, how is Wang Xingshou of the daughter of the Smile Building?" The head of Wang Xing referred to by these subordinates is now in Wangwushan, a daughter laughing building, and Wang Wushan is good at singing and dancing performances, which is enough to look down on Qin Wanlan, and it is better than Wangwushan is young and beautiful.
"Wang Wushan, yes, it's her, Yang Guang, you can go and visit her tomorrow."
