Chapter 81: The Trap (I)
After coming back, Ma Chao asked Wang Wu, what did Wang Cheng do today? Wang Wu said that except for some small things, he didn't know anything else. Wang Wu asked Ma Chao if he wanted to follow Wang Cheng, Ma Chao grinned and said to Wang Wu, you have everything in your heart, and you still ask me what to do? Wang Wu said that he felt that it should be done to employ people without suspicion and suspicion.
Ma Chao said that there was nothing to discuss about Wang Cheng, and said that he wanted Wang Wu to ask for advice, Wang Wu felt puzzled, it turned out that the equestrian skills that Ma Chao asked for were not medical equestrianism, but horseback riding. It turned out that the eldest lady heard that there was a hunting ground in Kyoto, so she asked Ma Chao to take her to a long time, and also proposed to race horses with Ma Chao. Ma Chao said that for this matter, the eldest lady was coquettish, Wang Wu heard it, and felt goosebumps on her back.
Wang Wu probably taught Ma Chao the essentials, and then the two went to the horse ring, took out a grassland white-mouthed horse, and pulled it out to slip away. The grassland white-mouthed was a species at that time, with a yellow body, not tall, and thick legs. The iconic is that there is a circle of white on the mouth, and everyone shouts white. Baizui was the predecessor of the Mongolian horse, and there was no Mongolian horse at that time, and there was no Mongolian horse at that time.
The grassland white-mouthed is the most suitable breed for war horses, with good endurance and explosiveness. His own personality is also very docile. Ma Chao's equestrian skills are only limited to riding on a horse, Wang Wu has taught Ma Chao for a long time, and when the stars are shining at night, he goes back to the house to sleep.
Wang Cheng has been hiding in the shadows, watching the whole process.
The day after tomorrow, Mr. Wang Bo chartered the Houde Building in Kyoto. Old man Wang Bo said, this is a family banquet, just eat casually. The craftsmanship of Houde Building is famous all over the world, and the hospitality here is basically illustrious nobles, rich literati and ink writers. If you want to wrap up here, it is still sudden, but it is not as simple as a few hundred taels, Wang Bo's generous handwriting makes the officials and nobles in Kyoto feel shocked.
This family banquet is too exaggerated. Not to mention the best food in Kyoto, even the precious candles are arranged by Tobe Shoshu Zhang Xuansu Zhang, corresponding to the decoration of the stars in the sky.
Wang Bo said that this family banquet is only one hour, but the cost of this hour, the average rich and noble family, bankrupt may not be able to complete it.
If Wang Bo invited the current emperor, it is also understandable. Wang Bo said that this meal was a family banquet, and besides Wang Bo himself, he was just an ordinary horse doctor.
Although the emperor gave the marriage, this horse doctor won the eldest lady of the Wang family, this is not the right household, Wang Bo not only did not sulk at home, but also invited his son-in-law to dinner so luxuriously.
suddenly became the hottest topic, Ma Chao's identity, which has been speculated countless times, finally hooked up with Ma Yutang. Some old people who used to follow Jin Shizong vaguely knew the relationship between Ma Yutang and Jin Shizong. also began to be busy, listing Ma Chao as a guest.
The old men who faithfully followed Kim Sejong are now all nobles, and their actions have caused even more shock in Kyoto.
……
In addition to everyone's speculation, King Xu was also busy and found a hundred elites, these hundred elites are not those cripples who take care of the family, they are all people who have come from the line of life and death, their internal family is mixed, and their external kung fu is not a first-class skill. However, they all learn killing techniques, and they have lived a life of licking blood from the knife since they were born, and it is also costly to gather them.
Wang Cheng met these people and felt satisfied, so he wrote a letter about Wang Bo's specific route and taught it to the chief manager of King Xu, whose surname was Bai, and the general manager Bai arranged the meeting very well. secretly did a lot of tricks, and when he contacted these elites, he used the name of Wang Cheng, and specially arranged the wives and children of several important people, and after the blood-stained Houdelou incident, he came out to testify against Wang Cheng.
This Mr. Bai got the clues, but he didn't believe it, and investigated everything, and proved from some aspects that what Wang Cheng said was not wrong, so he told King Xu.
On the day of the family banquet, there were many people standing outside Houde Building, there were 100 elites, and more of them were arranged by Manager Bai, and after being bewitched, they came to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed figure Ma Chao was.
At this time, Wang Cheng asked to meet with King Xu and said that there was something important. Manager Bai shirked in every possible way, Wang Cheng said that this secret is related to the entire Dajin, and when the time comes, when it involves Manager Bai, some people will naturally think of the master behind Manager Bai, King Xu. Mr. Bai said who was so important, let Wang Cheng say it first, Wang Cheng didn't say a word, just said what was at stake, and said that if King Xu was gone, this assassination mission would have to be canceled.
All of this has been arranged. can not only kill the uncooperative Wang Bo, but also blame Wang Cheng. When the time comes, without waiting for the people of Yushitai to pass the court, he will quietly kill Wang Cheng, and it will be easy to commit suicide in fear of crime.
Now even if Wang Cheng disagrees, this assassination will continue, but Manager Bai still asked sincerely, Wang Cheng sighed helplessly, and said, there is a guest at this family banquet, and Manager Bai asked who this guest is? Wang Cheng said that this guest was the crown prince.
Hearing this, Manager Bai also changed his face, this matter was not something he could decide, so he hurriedly went back to King Xu's mansion to ask King Xu in person, and finally King Xu came.
King Xu frowned tightly and asked Wang Cheng if the news was true. Wang Cheng nodded and said yes, since the prince was involved, King Xu asked about the guards, Wang Cheng said that the prince had two personal guards, Wang Bo had a personal guard, and Ma Chao was there, followed by Wang Wu and Ma Gan.
After hearing this, King Xu sighed and said that everything is fate. Or how can the prince be smart? He can see his game thoroughly, this time it has nothing to do with him, it was his bad luck that sent him to death.
Wang Cheng knelt down for King Xu, saying that King Xu would never be able to kill the prince, and when the time came, King Xu's future would be gone. King Xu laughed and said that he killed the prince, maybe the emperor's father, who loved the prince, might really kill himself, but the person who killed the prince was Wang Cheng.
When Wang Cheng heard this, he fell to the ground a little paralyzed. Seeing Wang Cheng's appearance, King Xu was even happier and deliberately asked Mr. Bai if Wang Bo and Ma Chao had entered the Houde Building. Manager Bai said that someone had just sent a message that Wang Bo and Ma Chao had already entered the Houde Building, and a sedan chair had also entered. King Xu heard it and said that this sedan chair must be the prince, the prince is hypocritical, and he wants the East Palace to be diligent and thrifty, how can he blatantly participate in this kind of luxurious banquet, make a sedan chair to go in, and cover up his identity, which is very in line with the prince.
Wang Cheng crawled out of the ground, stared at King Xu, and almost yelled to ask King Xu if he really wanted to kill the prince. King Xu laughed wildly, extremely proud, and shouted loudly, kill! Manager Bai smiled strangely and shouted an order.
