Chapter 139: The Eve of the Storm
The heavy blow of the Qi State made the king of the Qi State have no intention of paying attention to the marriage with the Wei Kingdom.
Above the main hall of the King of Qi's palace, the king of Qi showed an angry face and said to the monarch and minister below: "You say, what is going on? The palace was infiltrated by the Assassins overnight, and all the palace ministers were killed and wounded, how did you defend the royal city. ”
A guard general knelt on the ground and replied with a swaying all over his body: "Your Royal Highness, this assassin's night attack is a dereliction of duty by his subordinates, but his subordinates have received news that this assassin's night attack on Qi and Qin and Korea are inseparable. Moreover, the Zhao family and the Wei family also took the opportunity to capture other cities in the Qi Kingdom, but in the end, their own backyard was also attacked by a group of assassins at night. As far as the minister can see, this matter is definitely a conspiracy between the Qin State and Korea. ”
When the king of Qi heard the explanation of the guard generals below, he also thought about it.
If it is true, Qin and South Korea are not so bold as to take advantage of Qi State. Behind this is definitely the city that prompted the two families to take the opportunity to attack the chassis of the Qi State.
The monarch of Qi thought about it, but he didn't think of who could plan such a big conspiracy, and the king of Qi thought of this, and felt a little chill in his heart from time to time. I feel that if there is such a person, it is really a huge danger to the country.
The king of Qi shouted: "Quickly send someone to the Zhao family and the Wei family to understand the situation, and we must find out who is behind this." ”
One of the ministers below stepped out, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, then let's send troops to recapture the two lost cities!" ”
"Okay, it's just two cities, and now the biggest enemy of the Qi country is the person who can plan this operation behind it. This person is not in absolute trouble, and it is definitely a mortal danger to Qi Guo. Quickly send someone to investigate thoroughly, and we must find out the ins and outs. ”
The Wenchen and the general of the guards obeyed: "Oh! ”
"Stand down, right? Let me be quiet. ”
So Wenchen and the general both withdrew from the main hall, and at this moment, the waiter Neizai next to him spoke up: "Your Royal Highness, this assassin night attack, according to the old man's understanding, these assassins are extraordinary, and they have definitely undergone special training. ”
When the King of Qi heard what Neizai beside him said, he asked with a respectful attitude: "Then according to what Mr. Mo said, these assassins are all masters, can you see which masters are in the end?" ”
Amazingly, the identity of the inner ruler next to the king of Qi was different, and he was able to bend down as an internal ruler to protect the safety of the king of Qi country.
"As the old man has seen, this assassin's tricks are really what I have seen in this life."
The King of Qi asked, "Mr. Mo, how can we find out who is behind these assassins, if there is such an enemy in the Qi State, I feel that I am stabbed in the back!" ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, I sent someone from my own sect to investigate secretly, and there will be news soon."
"Thank you Mr. Mo, I feel at ease with Mr. Mo by my side." The king of Qi said.
Xu Bao, who was on the side of the defense of the country, was busy collecting information from all over the world to analyze the future situation, but he didn't know that another hidden force was quietly investigating the assassin's night attack in Qi State.
The Zhao family and the Wei family were once again missed by this absolute opportunity, which made the two families feel that the assassin's night attack on the palace was definitely not a coincidence, and the Wei family's general Wei replied to his own family in the main hall: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the assassin of this night attack is from the same place as the assassin of the last war. ”
King Wei sat on top of the main hall, pondered for a moment, and said, "Could it be that these assassins are related to the Taifu Xu of the Wei Kingdom?" ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness King Wei."
"Who is this Weiguo Xu Taifu, why is there such a group of assassins to help, and check the details of this person Weiguo Xu Taifu."
The Wei general who was kneeling on the ground replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the identity of Taifu Xu is extraordinary, and it is understood that I heard that the old man from Guiguzi is a disciple. ”
"What? Guiguzi! Then this thing is not easy to do, Guiguzi is mysterious, according to legend, this person's whereabouts are secretive, and the people under the door are not ordinary people, there is a saying that you can get the help of the people under Guiguzi, you can get half of the country. ”
General Wei asked, "Your Highness, then we still can't check the person of Weiguo Taifu Xu." ”
His Royal Highness the King of Wei pondered for a moment, "Secretly check to find out whether this Weiguo Xu Taifu is an apprentice of Guiguzi." ”
"Whoa!"
General Wei withdrew from the main hall.
Zhao Guo was still numb from this assassin's night attack, and above the palace of King Zhao, His Royal Highness King Zhao was furious and said, "Have you found out the origin of these assassins?" ”
A general of the Zhao family's guards, who was kneeling on the ground, cowardly replied: "Your Highness, this assassin is the same batch of assassins as the assassin who attacked King Zhao City at night during the last war. ”
The assassin of King Zhao asked, "Could it be that this matter has something to do with the Wei Kingdom?" This Weiguo is too bold, and he hasn't settled accounts with Weiguo last time? ”
The guard general spoke up: "Your Highness, these assassins are very strong and have definitely undergone special training. And judging from the wounds on the corpse, the weapon used is also very unique. Your Royal Highness, and this Wei Guo Xu Taifu is not an idle person. There is such a group of assassins under his command, which is absolutely a killer feature. If you don't eradicate it as soon as possible, it will definitely be a hazard to Zhao Guo. ”
After hearing this, King Zhao thought: "It is said that the Wei family was also attacked by the assassins at night, I think the Wei family is not feeling well, so I asked someone to send a message to the Wei family to see what the Wei family has done." If the Wei family also wants to eradicate the defense of the country, Mrs. Xu, we can also send troops. ”
An old minister under the palace spoke up: "Your Highness is very impossible, now that the Zhao State has just been established, the military spirit of the last war is still unstable, and it is not good for the Zhao State to send troops recklessly." ”
When King Zhao heard the words of this old minister, he also pondered in his heart, the heart of the Zhao army in the last war was not stable, and it was indeed inappropriate to send troops again.
King Zhao asked, "What do you dare to do with the will of the old minister?"
This old minister is a loyal minister who has followed the Zhao family since its establishment.
"With the old minister's meaning, first find out the details of the defense of the country Xu Taifu, such as today's form is tense, you can't easily send troops, and all countries are eyeing each other again. So let's wait and see what happens, if the Wei family acts, we can follow, and let the Wei family be the first bird first. ”
Hearing his family's suggestion, King Zhao felt good, "Okay, as soon as I hear the old minister's opinion, first send someone to investigate the details of Wei Guo Xu Taifu, understand the strength of Wei Guo now and then make plans, and send someone to send a message to the Wei family to ask how the Wei family plans." ”
The general below listened, "Oh! ”
"Alright, let's all step down!"
Now that the Zhao family and the Wei family were attacked by Xu Bao's assassins at night again, the two families were also worried about Wei Guo Xu Bao, and they both sent personnel to secretly investigate Wei Guo.
Now Xu Bao also feels in his heart that this night attack on Qi State obstructs Zhao State and Wei State, but he has not seen any movement in these countries, so Xu Bao always feels that something big is about to happen recently, but there is no news from his intelligence agency. This made Xu Bao feel a little uneasy in his heart. Xu Bao stood in front of the window of the study, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and muttered, "Is there really something big going to happen?" It's so calm. ”
