Chapter Seventy-Two: Plan Ahead

The cuckoo smiled bitterly and said to Zhong Wuregret: "The little girl really admires Lord Zhong very much, maybe we were wrong from the beginning, but now, I have to complete the master's order, after the matter is completed, when I go to the underworld, I am willing to give Lord Zhong as a slave and a maid." ”

At this time, in the sound of red muttering incantations, Zhong Wuregret gradually felt that his whole body was weak, and he said angrily to the cuckoo: "Do you only have despicable means to harm people in secret? I didn't expect the famous Red Mansion to only be a despicable villain, I think too highly of you. ”

Cuckoo said: "After you came out of Cheng Jiashuai's camp, just in case, I let Honghong put a kind of voodoo, only if she urges the spell, the poison will attack, however, this poison will not kill you, it will only make people's hands and feet weak, if you want to blame me, don't blame Honghong, she is sad enough." ”

"Since you're so despicable, it's no wonder I'm not to blame." When Zhong Wuregret spoke, the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Just when the cuckoo flew up and wanted to catch Zhong Wuregret, he suddenly saw an extra weapon in his hand that he had never seen before, and Zhong Wuregret's hand crossbow shot at the cuckoo like a flying locust.

The cuckoo fell in front of Zhong Wuregret, she was covered in blood, and asked Zhong Wuregret with difficulty, "What kind of weapon are you?" I've seen weapons from all over the world, but I've never seen such a powerful weapon, can you show me? ”

Zhong Wuxian silently handed the crossbow to the cuckoo.

The cuckoo looked at the crossbow, his eyes shining brightly, and he couldn't put it down.

"Hand crossbow, I invented a self-defense use." Zhong Wuregret said.

"They all underestimate adults, what if...... Ay...... With you by the king's side, Da Chu is hopeful. Speaking of this, Du Juan took a few breaths with difficulty, and asked Zhong Wuregret, "You won't blame me, right?" ”

"Don't worry, I won't blame you, if you are really in the Qinglou, maybe you will still be my pink friend." Zhong said with regret.

"After Ziyi's banquet, why don't you want me? ......" cuckoo asked with a gasp.

"I see an angry look in your eyes, and I respect you very much, and I don't want you to live with humiliation, even if it is not for long." Zhong Wuregret said sincerely.

"People say you're a thief, but you're the true gentleman I've ever seen. Can you touch my face? I will not harm you. Cuckoo said with difficulty.

Zhong Wuregret walked up to the cuckoo, stroked her face and asked, "Why did you put me to death?" ”

"I don't know, I really don't know, it's just an order. However, today you let me see a real you, I am very happy, very happy, I didn't see the wrong person in the first place......" said the cuckoo and closed his eyes peacefully.

Zhong Wuregret sat beside the cuckoo for a long time, looking at her beautiful face and feeling sad.

After a long time, he said: "Just bury them here, with Qingshan as a companion, they will not be lonely." ”

The nurses who followed Zhong Wuregret buried the five people including Du Juan together. Then, Cheng Jia's clan soldiers were buried in another place.

Honghong had already fainted, and Zhong Wuregret took her away.

At night, while camping, Zhong Wuregret looked at the night sky, and his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.

At this time, in Cheng Jia's military camp, the assassins led by the first assassin "Bao Fu" launched a surprise attack on Cheng Jia's handsome camp.

After quietly cutting off the guards, the Assassins stormed Cheng Jia's tent.

Cheng Jia stood in the tent and watched the Assassins rush left and right, but Dou Li led the guards to stop the Assassins, and despite the heavy casualties, they were never able to get the Assassins close to Cheng Jia even half a step.

Seeing that the last assassin was killed by the sword, the guards were just relieved when the ground beside Cheng Jia suddenly collapsed, revealing a hole. At the entrance of the cave, a figure leaped up and slashed Cheng Jia in two with a sword, and the assassin was cut into meat sauce.

Cheng Jia, who was hiding in the soldiers, couldn't help but sweat when he saw this scene, if he hadn't listened to Zhong Wuregret's idea of using a stand-in, he would really be beheaded like a stand-in!

When he began to see the assassins being killed by his guards one by one, he still didn't think so, thinking that Zhong Wuregret thought too highly of the assassins, and at this time, he felt that Zhong Wuregret was smart.

"In the future, you must not look down on this lewd thief, you must beware of him!" Cheng Jia thought secretly.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Zhong Wuregret rushed to the royal city with his men and horses day and night.

On the way, Zhong Wuregret and Honghong sat in the same carriage.

Zhong Wuregret looked at the silent Honghong and said, "I think that your assassin with the highest skill in the Red Mansion can be said to have been wiped out in this assassination operation. This time, it may be your only defeat, but this only defeat turned out to be cruel, and you may be the only one left.

However, you can already say that you have already died once, and if you want to say that you are loyal and loyal, I don't think you need to make any more senseless sacrifices, it is better to change your name and surname, and go to Zhongfu to live with us.

If you don't want to, I can give you a silver tael and go and find your own life, what do you say? ”

Honghong stared at her toes and didn't say a word.

Zhong Wuregret knew that Honghong still had a process of changing her thoughts, and he didn't ask her to express her position immediately, but said: "You know, your mother is pregnant in October, and it is not easy to raise you as a person, and you will understand when you become a mother." If your father and mother have eyes in the sky, they will definitely hope that you will live well.

Now it is more difficult for you to live than to die, think about it, and hopefully you will be able to make a decision before you reach the royal city. ”

Unexpectedly, Honghong raised his head and said resolutely: "I have already thought about it, you can put me down here, I don't want your silver taels, I believe that I can survive with my own strength." ”

After Honghong got out of the car, she walked away without looking back, Zhong Wuregret kept looking at her back until she couldn't see it, and then hurried away again.

Wangcheng is in sight.

As soon as he returned to the royal city, Zhong Wuregret didn't even enter the door, so he hurried to the palace to find the king of Chu.

As soon as he saw the king of Chu, Zhong Wuregret hurriedly told the king of Chu: "King, danger is coming, I don't know if the king is in a hurry to take refuge, or is willing to take risks to achieve a great cause." ”

"What do you mean by that?" King Chu asked.

"The operation of the king master Ziyi and Gongzi Xie to assassinate Cheng Jia has completely failed. Ziyi, Gongzixie and Ling Yin Chengjia have become fire and water. Judging from Cheng Jia's outstanding ability, he will inevitably contact Taishi Pan to return to the royal capital together and exterminate Ziyi and Gongzixie together.

Ziyi and Gongzixie seem to control the royal city, but they are actually powerless. The city defense will be mostly Chengjia's old department, if Chengjia claims to pacify the civil strife, how can there be a reason not to open the city gate? The city walls built to oppose Cheng Jia and Pan Chong were completely useless.

The forbidden army in the palace was previously led by Pan Chong, and there were many military centers, and it was difficult for Ziyi and Gongzixie to intervene. Cheng Jia is not dead, and the king's master should know what the consequences will be, but what can they do? ”

King Chu said: "The first is to surrender, wait for the future to be killed, this road master will not be willing to go no matter what." Second, there is only escape. Right? ”

"The king's analysis is very reasonable. But when they fled, I was afraid that they would take the king hostage and flee with him, which is why I told him why danger was coming. Zhong Wuregret continued: "If they take the king hostage and flee together, and chase their army, they dare not kill them, for fear that it will be unfavorable to the king."

Therefore, I estimate that if the situation is critical, they will be desperate for all means, even if they live with the Great Dynasty for more than ten years, in order to survive, they will also use the poisonous trick of 'blackmailing the king to order the ministers'. ”

The king of Chu said: "If I am only in danger now, I abandon the royal city and the people and flee alone, once I am truly the king in the future, what face will I face my subjects?" I'll stay in the palace, and if they're going to take it hostage, let them hold it hostage. As he spoke, the King of Chu grabbed Zhong Wuregret's ear with one hand and said in his ear: "In private, we are brothers, and when you watch your brother suffer, you just stand by and watch?" ”

"Don't dare, everyone in the world knows that we are a pair of lewd brothers and lewd brothers, if you want to kidnap the king and escape, please ask the king to bring the beauty guard." Zhong Wuxian sneered and said, "It's good that they respect the king, if they dare to make any crooked ideas, this beauty guard is the firing squad that wants their lives." ”

"What do you mean when you say you are willing to take risks to achieve great things?" King Chu asked.

Zhong Wuregret smiled and said: "Actually, the king's heart is like a mirror, why bother to ask me deliberately, now the king is fully capable of booby-trapping these two people, but it will expose the king's strength prematurely." Once the ministers join forces, we will be in real trouble.

If the king is held hostage by Ziyi, and someone wants to kill these two traitors, no one will not applaud. The king was humiliated and held hostage by the two, which made the king even more useless. In this way, as soon as Ziyi and the others die, Cheng Jia and Pan Chong will start to fight, and the king can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, right? ”

"Hahaha......" laughing, after Zhong Wuregret discussed with the King of Chu about the strategy of advance and retreat, Zhong Wuregret hurriedly came to Ziyi's mansion, he wanted to see how Ziyi dealt with this crisis, if Ziyi wanted to escape, Zhong Wuregret would also be a guide for him, and let him take the king hostage and flee to the capital ruled by Shaofu Jia Song.

Ziyi was taken aback when she saw Zhong Wuregret: "Didn't you assassinate Cheng Jia?" How could it be in the royal city? ”

Zhong Wuregret cried bitterly, bowed down and said: "This time I assassinated Cheng Jia, and I returned defeated, except for me, who is unparalleled in the world of kung fu after escaping, no one can come back alive, I am rushing back to send a letter to the master, so that the master can prepare early to deal with Cheng Jia." ”

Ziyi smiled and said, "I don't worry about you dying cleanly, you can come back and pour out my accident." ”

Zhong Wuregret said, "Master refers to the assassins of the Red Mansion, right?" ”

Ziyi was shocked: "How do you know?" ”

"I fled with Lan Lan and Du Juan of Juan Hualou, and I saw them killed with my own eyes!" Zhong Wuregret shed a few tears, which were also true, but they were tears of regret for the cuckoo.

Ziyi knew that Du Juan personally led people to hunt down Zhong Wuregret, but he didn't know what happened, and only Zhong Wuregret fled back alone. He would never have dreamed that Zhong Wuregret would have the ability to completely annihilate the assassin group led by Du Juan. He was also a little nervous at this time: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”

"Honghong, who was given to me by adults, wanted to go with me, and I agreed, just when we changed into the armor of Chengjia's army and prepared to reconnoiter Chengjia's camp, we were found and killed by Shu Yongguo's army, and after I ran back alone, Honghong wanted to assassinate Chengjia with me. She said that she was an assassin of the Red Mansion and that she had come to assassinate Cheng Jia, and then, she contacted Du Juan, and we entered the camp together to assassinate Cheng Jia, and the result was ......"

"How did it turn out?" Ziyi asked eagerly.

"I went back alone, and I saw with my own eyes that there was blood and flesh, heart, lungs, and large intestine flying everywhere, and the scene was too miserable." Zhong Wuregret said miserably.

"Hurry up and get Gongzi Xie for me." Ziyi ordered to his men. Then he said sternly to Zhong Wuregret: "You just rest in this house for a while, and you are not allowed to go out!" ”

As soon as Ziyi went out, there were immediately a group of swordsmen guarding the courtyard and in front of the door.

Zhong Wuregret had no choice but to sit on the ground, muttering secretly in his heart: "What kind of bullshit master, I rushed all the way to return the letter, and I didn't give a sip of tea." ”

Soon, Gongzixie arrived, and Zhong Wuregret repeated what he had just told Ziyi.

Gongzixie thought for a moment, whispered a few words in Ziyi's ear, and they threw Zhong Wuregret alone in the study, and the two went out again.

It turned out that Gongzixie asked Ziyi to quickly send someone to the "Juanhua" building to find out the situation.

Just when Zhong Wuregret was hungry, Ziyi and Gongzixie came back.

Both of them had gloomy faces, and Zhong Wuregret could already sense their extreme uneasiness.
