Chapter 155: Sir, it's really a master
Inside King Jiang's tent, the flames of the high candles jumped and danced, shaking the uneasy mood, and even the air in the tent was filled with a sense of solemnity.
Liu Chen slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, he squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Shi who walked in front of him, he was dressed in a standard Jiang Guoyuan uniform, and there was still a little blood stain on his chest, which completely dyed the fierce horse pattern on his chest red. Through the candle flame in the tent, Liu Chen's gaze moved up, and finally fell on Wang Shi's face, his vaguely familiar appearance quickly aroused Liu Chen's memory.
Liu Chen's pupils widened, he recognized Wang Shi, and immediately raised his right hand to point at Wang Shi, and said in surprise, "I remember you, you are the student who attacked me just now." ”
"Liu Chen, you said he attacked you secretly?" Hearing Liu Chen's words, Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, and his questioning tone was full of suspicion.
"Yes, when Weichen was inspecting the camp just now, I found a suspicious person, sneaking outside the camp tent, he was wearing the uniform of Jiang Guo Academy, I was about to go up to ask him, but he suddenly shot at me, I had to fight back, injured him, and then he escaped from the camp, and now the Red Horse Army is still searching for him outside the camp. I didn't expect him to be here, King, what the hell is going on?" Liu Chen's face was puzzled, and he asked King Jiang.
However, Jiang Wang no longer trusted Liu Chen's explanation, and he thought it was Liu Chen's quibbles.
The corners of Jiang Wang's mouth twitched slightly, and he snorted lightly, "Hmph, Wang Shinai is a student of Jiang Guo, why did he sneak attack you? And his strength is far inferior to you, isn't it self-defeating to fight with you?"
"This ...... This Weichen doesn't know either......" Facing King Jiang's question, Liu Chen was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.
Jiang Wang's face was cold, he looked at Liu Chen with cold eyes, and then said to Wang Shi, "Wang Shi, what is going on with you to tell General Liu Chen?"
"Yes. After Wang Shi received the order, he then faced Liu Chen, and once again told Liu Chen what he had told the county lord of Xin'er and King Jiang.
"General Liu, you killed me in order to kill people and kill people, but you never expected that I had a big life, survived, and met the county lord of Xin'er, this is the restoration of the sky net, I have already told the county lord and the king all about the collusion between you and Huang Zheng, the envoy of Rongguo, and the betrayal of Jiang Guo. ”
Wang Shi glared at Liu Chen's eyes and said in a positive voice.
After listening to Wang Shi's words, Liu Chen immediately stood up from the ground, his body couldn't help but tremble violently, he pointed at Wang Shi, and shouted angrily, "What nonsense, when did I collude with Huang Zheng, stinky boy, you dare to frame me and say, why do you do this?"
"Presumptuous. Seeing Liu Chen stand up suddenly, King Jiang slapped the table and shouted, "Liu Chen, who is lying and framing, the widow will make a decision, and you can't be presumptuous here." ”
"King, Weichen has never seen Huang Zheng in private, let alone colluded with him, and the minister will never betray Jiang Guo. This person must be a spy sent by Rongguo, he is dividing our monarchs and ministers, please check the king. Liu Chen clasped his hands and said fiercely.
"Tell the king, the student Wang Shi is a student of Jiang Guo's Martial Arts Academy, and he is also a citizen of Jiang Guo, how can he be a spy of Rongguo. Hearing Liu Chen say that he was a spy of Rongguo, Wang Shi was emotional, and immediately defended himself to King Jiang and said, because he spoke too violently, his chest couldn't help but ache again, and he coughed again and again.
"General Liu Chen, you should know that all the students who enter the Martial Arts Academy have been strictly vetted, and it is absolutely impossible to let Rongguo's spies infiltrate the academy. Moreover, all the students' identity and background and other information are recorded in the academy, if you suspect Wang Shi's identity, you can investigate with the academy. Jiang Zi'an, who was on the side, walked out and said to King Jiang.
"Well, Dazai has a point. Jiang Wang nodded and said, "Shen Mo, the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, has always been cautious and careful in handling things, and few people believe that Shen Mo will never let Rongguo's spies infiltrate the academy. ”
As Jiang Wang and Dazai said, Jiang Guo's Xiuwu Academy has always had a strict review system for recruiting students, and all the students recruited must be carefully investigated, where the students' families live, how many people are in the family, and even the situation of the students' parents. Because the Xiuwu Academy is to train national soldiers and train generals for the country, it can be said that the Xiuwu Academy represents the strength level of a country and can be said to be the top priority of the country, so the review of the students will be very careful, unless there are special circumstances, it will never allow foreigners to enter the Xiuwu Academy of the country, in order to prevent spies from other countries.
"King, Weichen has been following you for 20 years, and he has been guarding the border for Jiang Guo for 20 years. Great King, do you doubt the loyalty of your ministers for twenty years just by the words of one student?" Liu Chen was unwilling to be so suspicious, he knelt down, stared at King Jiang with his eyes, his eyes glittered with tears, and asked King Jiang.
Looking at Liu Chen's eyes, Jiang Wang's face couldn't help but be a little moved. Since King Jiang ascended the throne, Liu Chen has been loyal to King Jiang for almost 20 years, and 20 years is not a short time.
Just when King Jiang hesitated, Jiang Zi'an said again, "General Liu Chen, up to now, you are still quibbling, King, you must not be deceived by feelings." ”
"Dazai-sama, what are you talking about, don't you even believe me?" Seeing that Jiang Zi'an, who had always been good friends with him on weekdays, actually said such a thing, Liu Chen's face was surprised, and he immediately asked. Night Night Chinese .
"Liu Chen, I didn't believe it at first, but the facts are in front of me, and I have to believe it. Jiang Zi'an looked at Liu Chen tightly, his eyes were scorching, like two dazzling blades, which could not be mixed with half a cent of sand, and said, "Earlier, I had received secret reports many times, saying that you secretly had correspondence with Huang Zheng, the envoy of Rongguo. ”
Hearing this, Liu Chen still shook his head again and again, and denied it, "This is impossible, Weichen has never exchanged letters with Rongguoren, this must be a frame-up." ”
"Liu Chen, you mean that Dazai is also framing you. Jiang Wang said angrily, obviously he trusted Jiang Zi'an more than Liu Chen, Jiang Zi'an is a royal family after all, and Jiang Wang is a brother of compatriots.
"The king, Wei Chen asked to search the Liu family, and the minister believes that after a thorough search, he will definitely be able to find out the evidence of the crime. Jiang Zi'an continued.
"Okay, the minister is willing to open the door of the house and let Dazai-sama conduct a thorough search to prove the minister's innocence. Liu Chen was not afraid and said bluntly.
Jiang Wang touched his beard, thinking a little in his heart, Dazai and the student Wang Shi both pointed out that Liu Chen betrayed Jiang Guo, but he didn't expect Liu Chen to resolutely deny it, especially Liu Chen's resolute attitude, which made Jiang Wang's original suspicious heart gradually shaken a little.
Is there a misunderstanding in this?
After thinking for a moment, King Jiang said, "Okay, then leave this matter to Dazai to investigate, and you must find out." ”
"Yes. Jiang Zi'an nodded and took the order, and then said, "Since General Liu Chen is now suspicious, then Liu Chen can no longer be allowed to take charge of the army. ”
The so-called soldier charm is a certificate for the dispatch of troops. Liu Chen was appointed by the Jiang royal family to take charge of the 30,000 Red Horse Army, and the token of his dispatch of the army was the Red Horse Army Talisman, which was made of bronze and in the form of a horse, also known as the Horse Talisman. Under normal circumstances, in the event of a large-scale transfer of troops, such as sending troops to the battle, the military talisman should be used at the same time as the king's edict, and the small-scale transfer of soldiers, only using the military talisman is enough, just like this time, the Red Horse Army was dispatched to garrison the camp to protect the safety of the royal family, and Liu Chen could be dispatched arbitrarily with only the military talisman.
If Liu Chen really has the intention of rebellion, then the talisman he holds in his hand is very dangerous, and he must take away his military power first. Especially now that there are still 3,000 Red Horse troops stationed outside the camp, as long as Liu Chen's talisman is taken away, then Liu Chen will lose the command of these 3,000 troops.
King Jiang nodded, agreed to Dazai Jiang Zi'an's proposal, and said, "Dazai is right, Liu Chen, are you willing to hand over the Red Horse Talisman." ”
Hearing that he was going to hand over the talisman, Liu Chen flatly refused, and said, "King, the Red Horse Talisman has always been in the hands of my Liu family, and the ministers can't hand it over easily." ”
Hearing this, King Jiang suddenly became suspicious, his face was very ugly, and he said angrily, "Then what about you handing over the widow's life?"
"Please forgive me, the king, but the minister still can't hand it over. Liu Chen said in a straight voice, without giving in, "The minister thinks this matter is very strange, I am afraid that there is a conspiracy, trying to be unfavorable to Jiang Guo, and the minister is worried that once he hands over the military talisman, he will be used by someone with a heart." The Red Horse Army was the most important military force of the Jiang State, and the ministers could not easily hand over the talismans. ”
Seeing that Liu Chen was holding the talisman and resolutely did not hand it over, it made Jiang Wang even more suspicious, Jiang Wang frowned and said angrily, "Nonsense, you said that someone is not good for Jiang Guo, then who do you say is the person with a heart? ”
The minister didn't know who this man with a heart was, but he must know. As he spoke, Liu Chen's eyes suddenly pointed at Wang Shi, his face turned cold, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Let him tell him who is the mastermind behind this scene now." ”
After speaking, Liu Chen got up suddenly, slammed on the ground with his right foot, and rushed straight to Wang Shi who was close to him, and when his body rushed out, Liu Chen's right hand was slightly bent, forming a claw, and directly took Wang Shi's throat.
The speed of Liu Chen's shot was very fast, and before the people in the tent could react, Liu Chen's right claw had been locked in Wang Shi's throat, and he was about to grasp it hard, at this time, Wu Jian, who had been standing with his hands in his hands, moved his eyes slightly, and after seeing Liu Chen's move, he immediately raised the two fingers of his left hand, and at a speed that his eyes could not catch, the two fingers lit up with a cold lightning, like a sharp lightning, and pointed on Liu Chen's right shoulder.
"Bang ......" had no resistance, and the sharp finger instantly penetrated Liu Chen's right shoulder, Liu Chen's right arm, which was originally exerting force, couldn't help but tingle, and immediately retracted it, and his body was held hostage by this sudden penetrating force, Liu Chen's complexion changed instantly, and his body fell heavily to the ground.
Looking at the scene that happened in the camp tent in an instant, King Jiang's face was shocked, and he got up from his seat, he glanced at Liu Chen, who fell to the ground, bleeding from his right shoulder, and then looked up at Wu Jian, only to see that his face did not change, but the black hair on his forehead fluttered slightly, as if a breeze was blowing.
"Sir, he is indeed a master. ”
