Volume 1: Once Upon a Time in the Capital Chapter 134: The Third Goal
Dozing off on the table with her head propped up, the maid was still surprised by the slight sound of the door opening. She subconsciously looked at the door and found that it was Li Xiangru, and just wanted to shout out to remind King Ning but was stopped by Li Xiangru's signal.
Youyou looked at King Dining in the concentrated foreshadowing, then stuck out his tongue at Li Xiangru, walked to his side and said in a low voice: "The slave maid will arrange some supper first, son, please do it." β
Li Xiangru nodded, and only after watching Youyou go out did he turn his gaze to King Ning.
At this time, the king of Dining did not notice his existence, and had been looking through the folds, sketching on them from time to time, dividing the approved land into two parts and putting them in one place.
All innocence ends at maturity, and these are the necessary conditions for adulthood. When everything is linked to sophistication and sophistication, people will become tacky and return to ordinary. None of us can be forever ourselves, do what we want to do, what we like to do.
There is no poetry and distance in time, and some are just the fragrance in the mud. Find solace in the mud and swamp to keep going.
Originally, I always had a fat smiling face in my impression, and Prince Qiuhong did not hesitate to put down his body and call himself a brother in order to eat, but now he has also been rendered steady and mature by secular trivial matters and national events.
Looking at Qiu Hong, who had an extremely serious expression on his face, sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowning, a strange and strange feeling rose in his heart.
About half an hour later, King Ning stopped flipping through the folds, spit out a mouthful of turbidity with the brush, picked up the teacup only to find that the cup was empty, looked up and said: "Youyou, pour me ......" The word "tea" has not yet been spoken, and he suddenly found that the position where Youyou was sitting has changed people, he rubbed his eyes to make sure that the person in front of him was Li Xiangru, so he showed a smile, walked over happily, and picked up Li Xiangru who was sitting on the stool.
Li Xiangru stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with disgust on his face: "Huh...... Don't touch me with your fat body, I'm not your lovely maid. β
King Ning was stunned when he heard this, laughed and slapped Li Xiangru's chest, laughed, and gaged: "Go, go, go! Didn't you teach me at the beginning, men need to hug each other for a long time!"
Li Xiangru rolled his eyes, raised a middle finger at him, and said, "Who said that Aunt Qin in the town still has the charm of the town, and wanted to take advantage of her? I can hug her because I know her well, and you still brazenly want to hug her, don't you look for it yourself?"
When it was mentioned that there was an incident back then, King Ning smiled embarrassedly, his fat face was slightly red, and he looked around again and didn't find Youyou's figure, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a stalk on his neck: "At that time, I wasn't still small...... After speaking, he was afraid that Li Xiangru would continue to tear down the topic and be heard by Youyou, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked: "What is the matter with coming here on this big night?"
Seeing that he was talking about business, Li Xiangru's face returned to calm, and after a while, he nodded and said, "There is one thing I want to do first." When it comes to saying hello to you, I need to advance the plan here. β
King Ning's face became much heavier when he heard this.
At this time, Youyou gently pushed open the door, King Ning stopped, put down the two bowls of soup and sent it away, and instructed her not to let anyone approach.
Seeing that King Ning was unprecedentedly serious, you didn't dare to say anything, so she answered softly and went out.
King Ning sat down opposite Li Xiangru, picked up the soup and poured it into his mouth at a very fast speed. He was a little puzzled as to what Lee Sang-ru meant by speeding up the process, and that all the plans were being carried out in an orderly manner. The Death Guard is training, and Heavenly Punishment is stepping up day and night. Even the local forces on the Seventh Brother's side gradually swallowed up. Li Xiangru asked him to go to the burning city and dig up the place, and several staff officers were in the secret room with all the information they had collected, analyzing the defense of the imperial city. The best plan given by his group of thinkers is: sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
He gently put the bowl down, took out a square handkerchief and wiped the soup stuck to the corner of his mouth, and after a moment of silence, he sat up straight and asked tentatively, "What do you mean?"
Li Xiangru patiently waited for King Ning to finish eating, waiting for him to comprehend the meaning of the words, and when he heard him ask cautiously, he smiled slightly, and said in an undeniable tone: "I want Fan Wencheng to die!"
When Qiu Hong heard this, his brows furrowed. Fan Wencheng is a lieutenant of the court, this status is extraordinary, even his father hates him to the core, but he doesn't dare to really touch him. Moving him is not only very likely to cause a counterattack by his local forces, but also bad for the reputation of the royal place. Fan Wencheng must be very clear, and both he and Fan Wencheng himself are extremely clear about this. The plan that was formulated at the beginning was to let the prince and the seventh brother lose both, so that he could sit back and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman, and these discordant schemes were also comforted by the old and effective executors, and they have had an effect, so that the seventh brother and the princelings have friction, and the forces of both sides are gradually weakening in the secret contest.
He thought about it, ruled out the factors that affected the whole world, and said: "It is very difficult to wipe out the entire Fan family's forces! Fan Wencheng is not only in the temple power, but even more terrifyingly, the Zhenzhou Shida family is silently supporting him behind his back. Once Fan Wencheng lives and dies, if he does not handle it well, it is very likely to cause local turmoil. Assassinating all the way, there are several cultivators around him, and his strength is not weak. I'm afraid it's also extremely difficult. I want to know, what do you want?"
Li Xiangru was a little relieved in his heart, and King Ning first asked what kind of method was used, not why. He naturally knew that no matter which one it was, it would bring great difficulties to King Ning. Bringing down Fan Wencheng is equivalent to breaking off a powerful wing of the princelings, which is good for King Ning in the long run.
The truly strong is good at using human nature to make two enemies who are not friends compete to the death. Commonly known as: borrowing.
This is also the revenge method that Lee Sang-ru has been taking. He believed that if it took a little longer, he could uproot the entire Fan family in this long and variable way, but these were too slow for him!
Whether or not to uproot the entire Fan family is not so important to him, all he wants is for Fan Wencheng to die. He understood that it would be extremely difficult for Fan Wencheng to confess to the murder of Shi Shuai back then.
The hero is never afraid of death, and even prefers to die rather than face defeat in the face of failure. This was his judgment on Fan Wencheng's extensive investigation of letterheads.
Li Xiangru tapped his fingers on the table, smiled indifferently at King Ning, who had been staring at him, and said, "Assassination!" Then he gently pushed the soup that night was placed in front of him in front of King Ning, and said slowly: "I don't have many available people on hand now, I need you to help me investigate Fan Wencheng's recent movements, and I want to go to the toilet in detail." β
The Returning Sect suddenly disappeared during this time, and even Shen Tai was ominous, saying that he was carrying out a life-and-death event, and all his forces were withdrawn, which made him a little cramped about the enemy's information. Liu Qing is no longer usable, he has no one to use. This is also the reason why I came to Ning Wangdi in person.
King Ning glanced at the soup, and although his stomach was hungry, he held back. He needs to concentrate and think and not be distracted by anything. Moreover, the law of fasting has been engraved in his bones, and he does not dare to exceed half a point in King Ning's Mansion. He pursed his lips, thought for a moment, frowned and asked, "How much do you know about the Fan Mansion?" For example, his fifth-place son is a protΓ©gΓ© of Goose Lake Academy, and his talents are all of the highest grade and he was summoned and appreciated by my father?"
Li Xiangru nodded, "I've heard a little." β
"In the past five years, the assassins who entered the Fan Mansion and assassinated the land have been like mud and a sea without any news. It was a complete person who went in, but not even the ashes came out. King Ning stared at Li Xiangru's eyes and said seriously: "Why do you just say that it has been the past five years? Because although there is no evidence that he was behind the original incident, many people still believe that he is the culprit." There is no shortage of chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes, and there are even cultivators who go to assassinate and justify the name of the Lu Shi Shuai! Among these many people who cannot get in or out, they are inextricably linked to the Lu Shi Shuai. For example, the forward military captain Dewey, he entered the Tao with martial arts, tempered steel and iron bones, and killed Rulou more than 300 miles from the northern Beacon Fire City with a spear, and even the three elders of Loulan Wolf Wang Wei were killed under his spear. β
In the Gongzhou military camp, Dewey's name is only under the commander of the division! And the commander of the division is in the top seven in Jingguo! Naturally, I have heard of it more than once from the mouths of the commander and the military commander. His deeds are also the most famous in Gongzhou. It's just that I don't know that Dewey, who disappeared, came to the capital, instead of living in seclusion in frustration. At this time, when he heard Dewey's message, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't want a general stationed in the border to come to assassinate him with such blood.
Seeing Li Xiangru's shocked expression, King Ning thought that he had changed, and lowered his voice and said: "This is the news that I finally got half a month ago, and the authenticity of the information has been confirmed after repeated verification. At first, we couldn't figure it out. How much worse is your current strength than General Dewey?"
Li Xiangru's face returned to calm, shook his head, and said lightly: "Incomparable! Because, I haven't seen him, I haven't tried with him!"
In this tone, it did not reveal the slightest hint that he Li Xiangru was inferior to Dewey, but an inexplicable self-confidence, feeling that he was more capable than Dewey.
King Ning was angry and annoyed, stood up and slapped the table, opened his mouth to say something, and looked at Li Xiangru and found that the incomparably calm in his eyes was suppressed again. Slowly sat down, and after a long time, he sighed, raised his hand and surrendered: "I know, no one can change what you decide. As a friend, I fear for your safety. If you still insist, I will give you all the information you need! I can even arrange a few reliable people for you to use!"
After Li Xiangru was silent for a long time, he stood up and said to King Ning: "Thank you! I know! I want that information, the sooner the better, the more detailed the better! As for the manpower, it is not needed for the time being. He thought for a moment, and then said, "How is the development of heaven and earth?"
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, King Ning no longer persuaded him, and replied: "It has been formed, and the detonation rate is 90 percent. The safety of detonation has also become much safer under the countless improvements of the craftsman. β
"Hmm!" I'm going to need five, make a request, add some sharp pieces of broken iron to it, I'm going to make it more damaging. β
Add the broken iron?Will the fragments at the time of the explosion also cause damage to himself who can't dodge?Ning Wang thought about it, this power can be imagined. He frowned, but still nodded, "Okay! Seven days!"
"Three days! information, heavenly punishment. It's all ready in three days!" Li Xiangru said non-negotiable. There was already a hint of command in that tone.
King Ning smiled bitterly and scolded, "Do you need to be so anxious to find death?"
Li Xiangru shrugged his shoulders, he also had this suspicion about King Ning.
