Chapter 135: The Woman Who Is About to Come Out of the Box
This night is destined to be a chicken-flying dog-hopping.
Because all the lackeys under Ji Qingchen's door were dispatched out of King's Landing City in the halo of dusk, there were forty-three swordsmen in the "Iron Clothes", all of whom were dead soldiers trained by Guo Quan's own hands, and the master who could draw his sword in anger and bleed six steps, and there were thirty-eight swordsmen in the "Inner Factory", all of whom were outlaws secretly recruited by Zhang Rang.
These people have only one goal, that is, a manor outside King's Landing, this manor is a place where Ji Zhao uses to hide his strength, half of his strength is hoarded in this manor, there are a total of 300 dead soldiers, and eight of the leaders are the best among them.
This night is destined to be a horse on the rivers and lakes.
Because Li Changzheng led the 800 cavalry battalion out of King's Landing, the target was also the manor outside King's Landing. They were dressed in black and armor, with black lances and knives, like the Grim Reaper in the night.
This night is destined to be remembered by Ji Zhao forever.
Because his strength in King's Landing collapsed, years of hard work were in vain. And the person who gave him the fatal blow was really the ninth uncle who he thought was the weakest and also looked down on the most - Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao.
At night, the moon and stars are scarce.
This is a very imposing and spacious estate.
But it's a little too quiet at this time!
Dozens of dark shadows crept into the back door of the manor, and someone jumped into the manor. Then I heard the back door creak open.
Zhang Rang and Guo Quan led the "iron clothes" and the factory guards to stride in!
The two of them were very conceited, and they were not afraid of the more than 300 dead soldiers in the manor, so they strode to the hall of the manor. When the two of them walked into the hall, there was a strange silence in the hall.
Because all the people in the hall were asleep, to put it more bluntly, they would never wake up. They were poisoned, poisoned by the wine they drank tonight, a great poison that could have cost them eight lives, a poison that had no antidote.
"The villain sees the Governor." Just when Zhang Rang and Guo Quan's two looked around at the long-dead soldiers in the hall, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears ran in front of Zhang Rang, and said respectfully, he is a cook in the manor, and he is also from Ji Zhao's mansion, a chef who is very appreciated by Ji Zhao.
"All dead?" Zhang Rang asked coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Three hundred, not a single one alive." The fat man replied, cold sweat already oozing from his forehead.
"Is there only three hundred people in this manor?" Zhang Rang asked coldly.
"Originally, there were 500 people, but two hundred people were transferred to another manor two days ago." The fat man replied in a low voice.
"Do you know the exact address of the manor they went to?" Zhang Rang continued to ask.
The fat man was silent, this time he betrayed these three hundred people, and also betrayed Ji Zhao, the king of Huaide County, who trusted him, because he thought that Zhang Rang had arrested his wife, children and mother, and threatened him with their lives, plus Zhang Rang paid a very high amount, saying that he would give him 1,000 taels of gold after the deed, and he agreed.
But now that Zhang Rang wants him to continue to betray the other 200 people, he has a little conscience and is unwilling to do this despicable act of selling out for glory anymore.
"Don't worry, the money won't be less this time, and I'll give you another thousand taels of gold." Zhang Rang said, "By the way, you don't need to do it again this time, we will do it ourselves, of course, I will release your family after the matter is completed." β
The fat man was still silent, and Zhang Rang also did not speak.
But Guo Quan's order made the fat man break out in a cold sweat, and he ordered to the "iron clothes", "Give each of them a knife, so as not to slip through the net." β
Thump! The fat man was scared silly! He knelt on the ground stiffly, his face was already blue, and he had to make up for it when he died, just because he didn't want to slip through the net. What a cold person?
At this moment, there was no luck in his heart.
After pondering for a moment, it was as if Zhang Rang had told the place where the two hundred dead soldiers who had left had landed.
"I didn't expect Ji Zhao to be so smart that he would hide people here." Zhang Rang sneered.
For Ji Zhao, he is a eunuch and dares to call him by his name, because it seems that Ji Zhao's mind is too feminine and too smiling, like Ji Zhao, a person who has such thoughts at a young age, the tragedy of his life is already doomed.
So in addition to Zhang Rang's sneer, the rest is still sneering.
"Let's go!" Guo Quan's did not answer, but gave an order and left in stride.
"Ahββ!h Just as Guo Quan turned around, the fat man suddenly let out a miserable scream, because one of his arms had been cut off by Zhang Rangsheng.
"You-" The fat man rolled on the ground in pain, his voice reaching the point of howling, "why did you do this to me-"
"There are three hundred dead people here, if you don't accept this knife, do you think Ji Zhao will let you go?" Zhang Rang said coldly, then turned around and left, and when he left, he threw down another sentence and said, "I have already handed over the silver to your wife and child, as long as you can leave this life this time, he will see them one day, and he will naturally know that I am a person who keeps his promises." β
Zhang Rang and Guo persuaded them to leave the manor and go straight to King's Landing. It's not too late, and the city gates probably haven't closed yet, right? The two of them really couldn't imagine that Ji Zhao would be so bold and arrange these two hundred dead soldiers in the mansion of Situ Zhengtang, which had been abandoned.
However, this also gave Zhang Rang and Guo Quan an excuse to kill people publicly, so that these two hundred dead soldiers could be regarded as the remnants of Situ Zhengtang's Changle Gang.
Is this Ji Zhao's cleverness being mistaken by cleverness?
He thought he was smart and settled people in the abandoned old mansion of the Situ Zhengtang family who didn't pay attention to it, but this also gave his enemies a chance to destroy them in the open.
Zhang Rang and Guo persuaded the two to return to King's Landing, and Li Changzheng stayed in the Kunshan military camp outside the city. Because of the reason of Zhengda Guangming to suppress bandits, there is no need for the Xiaocai Battalion to participate, with the ability of Zhang Rang and Guo Quan, they will know what to do with Lu Dao.
Therefore, the Situ Zhengtang Mansion, which had been abandoned for several months, let out a terrible scream at night, and it sounded very bloody. When the people went out the next day, they found that there was a layer of blood flowing in the alley of Situ Zhengtang's mansion, which had been frozen into blood clots. This news was discovered by the nearby catchers, and they were immediately notified to Pang Ji, the prefect of King's Landing, who just sent a head catcher and a servant to conduct an autopsy, and there was nothing to do after the autopsy.
β¦β¦
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the East Palace, in Ji Zhao's study, King Huaide was already furious.
Because overnight, the hard work of his years of operation was wasted, and in such a way as to demonstrate and declare war on him, and it was brutally exterminated, how could he bear it?
That's 500 people!
This is a group of henchmen who were specially trained by my uncle and mother for themselves!
It's just gone?
And the death was so cruel, three hundred people were poisoned and did not let go, and their heads were cut off. Not to mention that the two hundred men in the city were dead, but all of them were beheaded and piled up into a hill.
Such a cruel method!
Such a bloody means!
Such a cold-blooded approach?
Is this still the gentle and elegant ninth uncle I know? Is it still the Nine Emperors who are dressed in black and always smiling?
This is already a demon king!
A demon king through and through!
This is a blatant declaration of war on oneself!
Thinking of this, Ji Zhao clenched his fists tightly, and his nails had already pierced deeply into his palms. Because at this moment, fear arose in his heart, he couldn't believe what he should do when he really had to face such an almost demon king-like Ninth Uncle Ji Qingchen?
"Zhao'er-" Just when Ji Zhao was about to collapse, the crown princess appeared at the right time.
"Mother-" Ji Zhao Mabu, who saw the crown princess, shouted, "Mother, he is too cold and cruel!" β
"Zhao'er, he was originally a cold and cruel person, but he just didn't find out. Because no matter if any of them are sent away from the country as a hostage for ten years, no matter how merciful their hearts are, they will become cold and hard. The crown princess enlightened.
"Is he demonstrating to him?" Ji Zhao asked blankly.
"He just wanted to give you a warning not to provoke him." The crown princess said, "Because, this is not his real strength. β
"Not his real strength?" Ji Zhao asked puzzledly, "Could it be the 200,000 troops in Caozhou?" β
"It's not." The crown princess replied in the affirmative.
"What is ββ??" Ji Zhao asked.
"It's the Eight Hundred Horse Battalion! It was several generals of Caozhou City who were loyal to him. The crown princess said in a firm tone, "It is not difficult for a person to control a large army, but it is not easy to control the generals in a large army." Because soldiers will always blindly follow their generals, as long as you can give them money, they will listen to you, but the generals who command the army are different, many generals do not love money, you just enjoy the money to buy them, they may not be loyal to you. β
"Well-" Ji Zhao nodded, and shook his head a little blankly, as if he hadn't understood the princess's words.
"Heyβ" said the crown princess with a sigh, "you are only an eleven-year-old child, and it is indeed a bit far-fetched for you to understand these truths." β
"Thank you, Princess!" However, after this conversation with the crown princess, Ji Zhao had already walked out of the magic barrier just now, and his face was also a little bloody.
"Zhao'er, after going through this incident, the mother concubine wants to ask you one more word, what are you going to do next?" The crown princess asked, her eyes clear, this is the most benevolent side of a mother to her child.
"Erchen - Erchen is not willing to give up like this!" Ji Zhao's tone was not firm enough.
"But what if you fail again?" The crown princess asked.
"Erchen doesn't want to give up like this!" This time, Ji Zhao said in a firm tone. After saying this, his face showed a touch of maturity that was different from that of his peers.
"You can have this mind, the mother concubine is very pleased." The crown princess said, "It doesn't matter if you lose 500 people this time, your uncle's family has money, and this money is used for you to spend." However, in the past two years, you don't have to go against your ninth uncle again, you are not his opponent yet, you just study hard and train your own iron guard! β
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the crown princess, and she said in a stern tone, "As for your ninth uncle Ji Qingchen, let this palace meet him!" β
