The candle flame flickered and flickered.

Wei Jian's expression, along with the flickering candlelight, was also gloomy and uncertain.

The prince is finished!

And what about yourself!

Wei Jian sat quietly in his chair, his expression uncertain.

"Your Excellency!" Outside the door, the servant reported in a deep voice.

"What?" Wei Jian's eyes flickered slightly, turned his head, looked at the figure at the door, and asked in a deep voice.

"Then Lu Heng is back!" The servant was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Wei Jian was taken aback, his face changed suddenly, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice, and he said in a deep voice: "When did this happen?" ”

"It's late this evening!" The servant replied.

"Isn't he in Chengdu? Are you mistaken? Wei Jian was faintly uneasy in his heart, with a hint of restlessness in his tone, and asked suspiciously.

The servant was silent for a moment, then replied firmly, "It can't be wrong, my lord." The people under him personally saw him meet with the boss lady of the heart of Zijin! ”

"So, did he come back alone?" Wei Jian's eyelids couldn't help but tremble, and he faintly felt that something was about to happen. But I don't know what it is, and I don't know when it happened.

"There are also two guards accompanying him, one is Cangxue from Zijin's heart, and the other is a strong man, who seems to have extremely high martial arts!" The servant hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"Heh, Takefu!" Hearing that the servant seemed to be very attentive to the guard, Wei Jian sneered and said disdainfully.

He was a civil servant and was born in the imperial examination. In this Great Zhou Dynasty, where everything is inferior and only the reading is high, it has the status that a scholar dreams of. A martial artist, he doesn't pay attention to it.

"Also, then Lu Heng didn't go anywhere else?" Wei Jian breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly.

…… After a brief silence, the servant replied briefly but forcefully: "No! ”

"Go down!" Wei Jian hummed and asked the servant to go back.

After seeing the shadow of the servant leaving, Wei Jian withdrew his gaze from the door.

"Come out!" Wei Jian turned his head and said to himself behind the bookshelf in the study.

The faint sound of footsteps came from behind the bookshelves.

A small man dressed in a black gauze coat and wearing a hat walked out from behind the bookshelf.

This person's steps are steady, his eyes are firm, and his figure is a little rickety, but at first glance, he is in a state of accumulation. Judging from this person's demeanor, he should be a master with unique skills.

However, the strange knife hanging from this person's waist was a little piercing.

It was a weapon similar to a Tang knife, but it was not a Tang knife. The blade is no more than three fingers wide and more than three feet long. The entire blade of the knife has a slight arc, and judging from the shape of the blade, it should be extremely suitable for chopping.

"Your Excellency Sasaki!" After seeing this person come out, Wei Jian stood up, bowed his hand, and respectfully bowed to this person.

"Your prince is finished!" Sasaki, who was called Your Excellency by Wei Jian, snorted. There was disdain for cold arrogance in his words.

"Yes!" Wei Jian smiled, and after a pause, he continued: "However, the prince is also a pawn of Lord An. Inconsequential! ”

"The important thing is that the crown prince is finished, and the Great Zhou is also in chaos, and at that time, as long as Lord An gives way to the northwest pass, the northern Turks will be able to wave their troops to the east. The Great Zhou is bound to become a mess. And Your Excellency's Dongying Kingdom will also usher in new opportunities for development. Jiangnan of this Great Zhou, hehe, compared to His Excellency Sasaki, you should know how rich he is! Wei Jian stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at Sasaki's expression.

"Haha, Han people, as far as I know, your Great Zhou Emperor has activated the King of Huainan, and in addition, the generals who followed the King of Huainan to fight in the south and the north have also re-entered the battle. The Turks in the north don't seem to be having a good time this month! Sasaki snorted coldly, looking at Wei Jian's expression, full of disdain.

"Heh, the general only knows one and doesn't know the other!" Wei Jian sneered, looked at Sasaki and said, "The general thinks that with just one King of Huainan, he can save the current Great Zhou?" ”

"Humph!" Sasaki snorted coldly, staring at this Wei Jian with a fierce glint in his eyes, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the sneer he had just made.

"General, don't blame!" Wei Jian's face stiffened with a smile, and he hurriedly apologized to Sasaki, "Actually, as I said just now, the crown prince is just a chess piece that Lord An put on the surface to attract the emperor's attention. And the real backhand is on the third prince King Kang! Wei Jian was silent, and then said in a deep voice: "And King Kang's territory is in Shanxi!" ”

"What do you mean?" Sasaki's eyes lit up, and he asked with a little excitement.

"That's right, if the crown prince is finished, it will inevitably cause political turmoil. And at that time, once King Kang let go of the gate of Shanxi. In the next is to ask, in today's Great Zhou, who can stop the southward movement of the Turkic iron cavalry? Wei Jian stroked his beard and smiled coldly, but the expression on his face was a little hideous.

"Lord Wei, don't forget, King Nakang is a royal disciple, even if he is listening to Lord An, he will not sit idly by and watch the Turks go south and ignore it!" Sasaki snorted coldly. The expression on his face was still as cold and arrogant.

"Hehe, general, who told you that King Kang's surname is Wu?" Wei Jian's eyes narrowed and he said with a sneer.

Then, Wei Jian smiled coldly, leaned over, and whispered in Sasaki's ear.

Sasaki's eyes were suddenly surprised.

"You, what you said is true?" Sasaki asked excitedly.

If what Lord Wei said is true, then it is really the first strange news in the world. And, if this is really true. Then the Great Zhou Jiangshan, which looks extremely solid, is already crumbling.

And at that time, it will be the best time for the Dongying Empire to re-ascend to the mainland and dominate the Great Zhou.

"Naturally, this kind of head-losing thing, naturally I won't talk nonsense!" Wei Jian sneered and said with a cloudy face.

Turning his head, looking at Sasaki's excited look, Wei Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking about it, he said to him: "Although Prince Zheng is escorted by King Huainan, it is still a drop in the bucket. And King Kang, behind him are An Jia and Turkic people. In the future, it is inevitable that King Kang will reign in the world. However, Prince Kang will naturally reward those who have helped him. The degree of this reward is naturally the greater the help, the more the reward! Hehe, General Sasaki, you know what to do! ”

Sasaki laughed: "Yo system! ”

"As long as you are ready, my Dongying army will land at any time and launch an attack on Da Zhou!" Sasaki laughed loudly, looking extremely proud.

"Well said, well said!" Wei Jian smiled, his fingers lightly knocked on the tabletop, and said in a deep voice: "Pull a hair and move the whole body, and when you start, the whole body moves." Jiangning moves, Da Zhou moves! ”

Sasaki nodded in response.

"That's right, General Sasaki!" Wei Jian suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, he turned his head, looked at Sasaki and said, "Wei wants to ask you for a favor!" ”

"Haha, Lord Wei, you and I will be colleagues in the future, why be so polite!" Sasaki laughed out loud and said very casually.

Colleague?

Hearing this Sasaki's words, Rao is Wei Jian was thoughtful, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping.

This Dongying, the appetite is not small!

However, at this time, the two sides are still in the stage of allies. Although he was unhappy with the people of this little bird country, Wei Jian still didn't dare to show it.

He pretended not to hear, nodded and smiled, and then spoke: "Wei heard that the Dongying warriors are highly skilled, especially ninjutsu, and even more unpredictable. ”

Seeing Sasaki nodding, Wei Jian smiled and arched his hand: "Wei wants to ask General Sasaki to help kill someone!" ”

"Who?" Sasaki snorted, looking disapproving.

"Lu Heng, Lu Yongzheng!" Wei Jian knocked his hand on the table, paused slightly, and said in a deep voice.

…… The candles were bright and the room was warm like spring.

In front of the table, Lu Heng and Liu Qingqing sat opposite.

Liu Qingqing held her chin in her hand and quietly looked at the chess game on the table, her delicate eyebrows wrinkled together.

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't know how to take the next step.

When I looked up, I saw my uncle holding tea, sipping it and looking at him with a smile.

Liu Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little resentful, pursed her mouth, and looked at Lu Heng: "Uncle! ”

Okay, okay!

A very lethal coquettish body made Lu Heng lose his sovereignty suddenly.

While drinking tea, Lu Heng suddenly kept his eyes, pointed to a line on the chessboard, and said in a fuss: "It's not good, I forgot this road!" ”

Looking along the place pointed by Lu Heng, sure enough, a zigzag chess path led straight to Lu Heng's camp.

Liu Qingqing smiled sweetly, lightly pinched the chess pieces, and successfully completed the last step with three jumps and two jumps.

"Oh, bring it!" Liu Qingqing's beautiful eyes flashed with pride, stretched out her little hand, shook it in front of Lu Heng, and said with a triumphant smile.

"Hey!" Lu Heng's face was sad, and he took out a silver bracelet from his waist in pain.

This bracelet was bought by a Tibetan when he was in Chengdu. According to the Tibetans, you can pray for peace and blessing. Well, more importantly, it can bless the peace of your lover.

"What is this?" Through the dim light, Liu Qingqing's beautiful eyes had a hint of curiosity, looked at the bracelet in his hand, looked at the beautiful and mysterious patterns on it, and raised his head and asked.

"Wishful Bracelet!" Lu Heng smiled and pointed to the bracelet and said.

Then, from his pocket, he took out another bracelet of the same kind, and put it on his wrist.

Hehe smiled: "It's also called a couple bracelet!" ”

He raised his wrist triumphantly and shook it in front of the woman's eyes.

Seeing the woman's pretty face slightly red, she lowered her head shyly.

Lu Heng laughed out loud in his heart.

"Uncle!" Liu Qingqing's beautiful eyes were like water, looking at Lu Heng with a smile, under the dim candlelight, the woman's delicate and unparalleled face was so beautiful!
