Chapter 618: Hesitation
The bizarre assassination made everyone present suspicious, but the assassins were all killed or committed suicide, leaving no one alive, and the suspicion may always be the suspicion.
The only ones who really pretended to be confused were Qin Kan and Ding Shun.
As an old subordinate who has followed Qin Kan for many years, Qin Kan's unsightly secret Ding Shun knows that it is clear, and many unsightly things are still done by Ding Shun himself, such a No. 1 commodity is still alive in the world, and the official fortune is smooth sailing, and he lives extremely nourishingly, and he has not been killed by an unscrupulous boss, which fully shows how shining Qin Kan's humanity is.
As when he came, Zhu Houzhao and his entourage returned to the Anqing camp in a very low-key manner.
From approaching the camp to entering the tent, Zhu Houzhao did not show up at all, after entering the tent, the tent of the Chinese army was surrounded by the emperor's guards, the knife was out of the sheath and the arrows were wound, no one was allowed to approach, and even the nobles and senior generals in the army were coldly blocked out of the tent by the guards.
A wave of uneasiness spread like a plague in the Anqing camp, and rumors followed......
…………
…………
In the anti-army camp a hundred miles away from Anqing, Zhu Chenhao, who got the news, sat on his chair in a daze, and then his expression became suspicious.
The strategist Liu Yangzheng looked ecstatic, and excitedly paced back and forth while rubbing his hands in the tent.
"This is heaven to help the prince, students congratulate the prince on his great career!"
Li Shishi sat at the bottom of Zhu Chenhao, and like Zhu Chenhao's expression, Li Shishi's expression was not half joyful, but hesitant.
Zhu Chenhao glanced at Liu Yangzheng lightly. Then he turned his face to look at Li Shishi, and said in a deep voice: "What is Mr. Li's opinion?" ”
Li Shishi pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's hard to distinguish between true and false in this matter, Zhu Houzhao was indeed lured out of the camp by Song Yien, and he did go up to Tianzhu Mountain, and when he returned to the camp, the emperor's guards were in a hurry, it is said that Zhu Houzhao's chariot entered from the camp gate after returning to Anqing, and drove directly to the door of the Chinese army marshal's tent, and no one was allowed to peep close, that is. Except for his personal guards. No one saw Zhu Houzhao with their own eyes, or rather, no one saw Zhu Houzhao come back alive......"
Liu Yangzheng added excitedly: "And Zhu Houzhao didn't show up after returning to the camp, and guards suddenly increased around the tent. Security is getting tighter. His close guards are even more like a great enemy. I heard that even Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, asked to see him, but was blocked by the guards...... Lord Wang, these circumstances add up, and the student dares to vouch for it with his head. Zhu Houzhao must have had an accident, but now he is just afraid that the army will be unstable, so the news has been concealed and kept secret. ”
"Yes...... Is it? Zhu Chenhao wrinkled his eyebrows, falling into deep thought and hesitation.
Li Shishi sighed and said, "Lord Wang, I think this matter is another mystery. ”
Zhu Chenhao was slightly surprised: "How do you say this?" ”
"It's too smooth, Lord Wang, from the beginning to the end, this matter is too smooth, almost no danger, no wind and no waves, Song Yien tricked Zhu Houzhao out of the camp, Tianzhu Mountain set up an ambush and hit it with one blow, doesn't the prince think that all this went too smoothly?"
Liu Yangzheng sneered: "Doesn't it just mean that the prince is acting according to the will of heaven this time, so there is help from heaven?" Could it be that Mr. Li thinks that it must be successful before it is agreeable? ”
Li Shishi said coldly: "It's a major military matter, don't be careful." The dead soldiers who sent Lu did not leave a living mouth, and Song Yien was also missing, there is really no evidence for this matter, no one saw Zhu Houzhao alive with their own eyes, but on the other hand, did anyone see Zhu Houzhao dead with their own eyes? ”
Liu Yangzheng's words were sluggish, this is indeed a dead and unproven thing, and the difficulty of distinguishing between truth and falsehood is also here.
Zhu Chenhao fell into a difficult choice again, Zhu Houzhao's life and death have become the key to the success or failure of his great cause, but the answer to the key question is like a dense fog locking the river, confusing, making him unable to vent his anger.
Li Shishi continued: "Just think about it, is Zhu Houzhao really so stupid, was Song Yien sent out of the camp to Tianzhu Mountain to hunt in three or two sentences? Even if Zhu Houzhao is really stupid, Qin Kan beside him is not stupid, this person has fought with the prince in Beijing, and the prince is not a big snack under him, doesn't Qin Kan suspect that there is fraud in it? Would he have watched the emperor fall headlong into this trap? If there were twists and turns in this matter, and Zhu Houzhao was stopped by Qin Kan or other ministers when he left the camp, I can believe that Zhu Houzhao was indeed stabbed to death, but the problem is that this matter went too smoothly, and it was done in one go from beginning to end, I have to suspect that there is a mystery hidden in it......"
Everyone in the tent fell silent, and after a long time, a weak voice suddenly came.
"Perhaps...... Did Zhu Houzhao secretly go out to hunt without Qin Kan and these ministers? After all, he's a well-known little dumb gentleman, so it's not surprising that he does anything out of the ordinary......"
Everyone turned their heads to look, but it was the anti-army general Ling Shiyi who spoke.
Zhu Chenhao suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "General Ling, the assassination of Zhu Houzhao was entrusted to you to arrange, and I would like to ask you, is the person who sent Lu reliable to do so?" Can they be sure that they will faint and die? ”
Ling Shiyi grinned and said: "They are all dead soldiers who have been raised under the prince's account for many years, in terms of loyalty and martial arts, of course they are reliable, not only that, before they left, the last general also invited a master to help, for this trip is a lot of grandeur, the last general feels that there is a chance that he can stab the faint monarch to death." ”
Zhu Chenhao paused, then frowned, looking a little displeased.
Such a big event, this Ling Shiyi actually took the initiative to change his orders, and did not report to him afterwards, the thief was indeed a thief, and he still didn't understand the rules after following him for so many years.
"What help did you ask for?"
Ling Shiyi said excitedly: "Did the prince remember Tang Zihe, the leader of the rebellion in Bazhou? ”
"The female thief leader?"
It was she who later broke Bazhou by the imperial court, and Tang Zihe was taken down by officers and soldiers, but escaped on the way to escort the Beijing Division. A few days ago, for some reason, Tang Zihe appeared outside Jiujiang Mansion, and single-handedly killed people in the invisible poison kung fu extraordinarily, the last general saw that talent was rare, so he invited her to assassinate the faint king, Tang Zihe readily agreed, with her kung fu, plus more than 30 martial arts strong dead soldiers, there is a calculation or unintentional, the last general feels that Zhu Houzhao should not be able to escape. ”
Everyone in the tent was shocked, Zhu Chenhao wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Then Tang Zihe really has such a ability?" ”
The power of idols is endless, and Ling Shiyi's chest slapped loudly, giving full play to his loyalty as a Tang fan.
"The last general dares to pack a ticket, this Zhu Houzhao must be dead, he can't die anymore, Tang Zihe's body is poisonous kung fu, it's unpredictable, don't say it's a person within a square mile, even a flea will spit blood and die, Tang Zihe has passed where there is no grass, and there is no trace of people in all paths......"
