Chapter 118: Deal!
The imperial palace of the Chu State, although not as luxurious and atmospheric as the Song State, is quite magnificent on the whole. The towering city walls and historical architectural features do make people feel a different kind of high-profile, and a sense of reverence is also spontaneous.
But today's hall was extremely tense, and the eagle guards and palace guards were like facing a great enemy, as if they were preparing for a serious battle.
However, there are only two people who make these thousands so nervous. A person has a handsome face and delicate facial features, as the book says, "The son is unparalleled in the world". And the other one is a monk, and there is something romantic between his eyebrows and eyes.
In the middle of the group of eagle guards and guards was a young man in a dragon robe, his face was quite sharp, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little slender, like a short knife. He looked at the two people in front of him calmly, his eyes seemed to be full of calmness, showing the domineering spirit of Cheng Zhu.
"I'm here, let's talk, how to talk!"
Lin Che said indifferently, but there was a trace of anger in his eyes.
"Bold! How dare you ...... Your Majesty like this"
The little eunuch next to him was about to angrily reprimand this person who didn't know how to be humble, but was stopped by His Majesty the Emperor with a raised hand.
"It's too windy here, let's go to my imperial study!"
The little eunuch next to him was a little shocked and said: "Your Majesty, these two people are strong in martial arts, and the space in the imperial study is limited, I'm afraid it's ......."
His Majesty the Emperor still looked confident and calm, he looked at the people below and said: "I believe that when they come, they must be people of great affection, and I can't get out of trouble!"
When they arrived at the imperial study, His Majesty the Emperor withdrew from the crowd, leaving only the little eunuch beside them.
"Changshun, give tea!"
Xiang Dingyuan said very simply, as if he was inviting a friend to come to his house as a guest.
The little eunuch immediately poured tea for the two obediently, but his face did not change in the slightest.
"Sir, should I call you Lin Mang or Lin Che!"
Lin Che picked up the teacup, paused in the air, seemed to think of something, he took a sip of the tea, and put it down leisurely.
"A grass people, Your Majesty can call it whatever he wants. How dare the grass people have objections!"
Xiang Dingyuan didn't make any more false promises.
"Then Lin Che! I have already heard about the amazing performance of the two of them in the Seven Stars View, and I heard that Mr. Lin Che in particular destroyed half of the Seven Star Mountain Range with one palm, which is really breathtaking!"
Lin Che just said lightly: "The rumored person is too exaggerated, obviously it is the left and right palms, how can it be a palm! The person who told His Majesty these rumors has ill intentions! Your Majesty Wencheng Wude, be careful of his intentions!"
"Hahaha!
Xiang Dingyuan didn't seem to want to hide anything, and told the divination very bluntly, after all, he was the emperor, and he didn't seem to care about hiding his purpose.
"I don't know what benefits Your Majesty promised him, so that that beast can betray even the master!"
Lin Che's words seemed to be a little ruthless, and he said disdainfully.
Xiang Dingyuan laughed: "Hahaha! You may be mistaken, the plan to get rid of the Seven Star Pavilion this time was proposed by him, and I am just pushing the boat down the river!"
Lin Che looked at the emperor in shock, he couldn't believe his ears. It was actually a plan proposed by himself to destroy the Seven Star Pavilion, what was going on! Behind him, who else was there and what plan!
"Oh, wouldn't Your Majesty be surprised, why would a person who had been in the Seven Star Pavilion for decades suddenly turn against him and want to destroy his own sect?"
Lin Che's words also seemed to be a heart-wrenching theory, intended to make Xiang Dingyuan have doubts about divination, as long as the two of them were not monolithic, they would naturally have a lot less obstacles when getting rid of traitors in the future.
An indescribable smile crossed Xiang Dingyuan's lips.
"Hahaha! You don't have to say these heart-wrenching things to me, for me, there are only three kinds of people, useful people, useless people, and harmful people! If it is useful, it will stay, and if it is useless, he will live and die! Harmful people will never stay!"
A burst of killing intent swept by, making people's hearts chill.
Lin Che didn't seem surprised or frightened by this, he already knew what kind of person this Xiang Dingyuan was, and his intuition told him that this Xiang Dingyuan's plan must be very big. Presumably, this time, whether you agree or not, you will be involved.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen my apprentices for a long time, I don't know, can we reunite our master and apprentice!"
Lin Che looked at Xiang Dingyuan with a smile on his face, waiting for his reply.
Xiang Dingyuan said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, your apprentices and friends, I have arranged them in a very safe and comfortable place, and I will not treat them badly." When Mr. Tuo's business is done, it will definitely be returned to Zhao!"
"What's the matter, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to make it clear!"
Lin Che also said indifferently and modestly, turning around and around, in the end, he must want to get some benefits from himself.
Xiang Dingyuan leisurely held his teacup and said slowly: "First, it's the Seven Star Pavilion incident this time!"
"Your Majesty doesn't want this to leak out?"
Lin Che asked, what Bu Xuan said that day, Lin Che actually always felt that it was Bu Shu and the Emperor of Chu who didn't want this matter to be exposed and hurt the face of Chu State.
"Yes and no. ”
Xiang Dingyuan still had a leisurely attitude, which made Lin Che a little confused.
"Please also make it clear to Your Majesty!"
"This time, as long as the royal family of Chu State is not involved, and as for the affairs of the four major sects, I will let the world give you an explanation!"
Lin Che frowned, Xiang Dingyuan was so ruthless!
This is obviously an attempt to pour the troubled water elsewhere, is this unclear to make the martial arts chaotic? And listening to his meaning, it is obvious that he has deliberately revealed the rumors.
"That's it?"
Lin Che felt that this matter, and the "discussing big things" he said was obviously not a high-grade thing.
"Second, I want Mr. to help me kill someone!"
Lin Che was taken aback, because he knew that as an emperor, and an emperor who had already monopolized power, it would definitely be easy to get rid of a person. Obviously, there must be only one possibility for the characters who want to shoot themselves - not from the Chu State!
However, the last time Xiang Zhong was assassinated, he used the "six fierce generals" of "Night", and this time the Seven Star Pavilion is the "Twelve Branches" of the entire "Night", and in terms of assassination, they must be more professional than themselves! Why don't they look for them? Find yourself? Is it inconvenient to let "Night" make a move? Or was it rejected?
"Oh, who is it!"
Xiang Dingyuan looked at himself calmly.
"The general of the Pillar State in the south of the Song Kingdom - Chen Boyuan!"
Lin Che gasped, this general of the Pillar Kingdom, except for his father, will often be asked to return to Beijing to stay at home, and everyone else is at the border of the barracks.
As the general of the entire Song State, he was in the base camp of the army, at least tens of thousands, but more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers beside him, and no matter how high his martial arts were, it was impossible to directly take the life of the commander of the Chinese army.
And the army is also closed, the relationship between the characters is very fixed, and there is no way to disguise and enter the assassination. This is almost the same as the difficulty of assassinating the emperor.
"His Majesty the Emperor can't help but think too highly of it! This is among the hundreds of thousands of people, taking the rank of general, even if it is a family teacher, it may not be able to succeed! How can I be up to such a great task!"
Xiang Dingyuan looked at Lin Che and said with a smile: "Hahaha! Mr. is too modest, I already have the method of helping Mr. in my hands!"
When Lin Che heard this, he felt strange, he already had a way, and he still let himself come? It must not be a good way.
"Oh, please make it clear to your Majesty!"
"Although this Chen Boyuan does have an army of more than 100,000 around him, he is almost the least among all the generals of the Pillar Kingdom, and not all of them are around him. His border troops are scattered all over the vicinity of several border cities adjacent to our Chu State, and are managed by several generals under his command. The soldiers who were really by his side all the time should be about 25,000 people. ”
Lin Che listened to the words of His Majesty the Emperor, obviously, he was already very clear about the situation on the border of Song and Chu, and it seemed that the intention of assassinating Chen Boyuan was already obvious.
"This Chen Boyuan, although he is in this military camp all day long, is not completely unapproachable!"
Lin Che's eyes lit up, he was also very interested in what the flaws of this Pillar Country General were.
"Every few days, he will make an appointment with Wang Rongrong from the 'Furong Building' to go to the barracks for a rainy day. And when the time comes, you can pretend to be Miss Wang Rongrong's guard and go in with her!"
When Lin Che heard this, he couldn't believe it, this military discipline was so sloppy!
Of course, he wouldn't know that as a vassal to Yan Song, he basically bowed down to the Chu State, and he had been obedient for decades.
In the past, the state of Chu often had close contacts with the generals of the border guards, but it would also be somewhat restrained. In the past few years, it has been like eagerly wanting to lick people's buttocks every day, so that the generals and commanders of the Song State have enjoyed themselves more wantonly every day, and constantly tempted with money and beauty, so that these people have long been rotten to the bone.
In addition, the state of Chu has always paid tribute every year, and honestly handed over the land, although the Song army also drilled and exercises, but after decades of peace and catalyze, it was already just a show.
Everyone felt that if they were assigned to General Chen Boyuan in the south, it would definitely be the most enjoyable and relaxing.
Even Xiang Dingyuan and Yin Jiao joked privately that the army on the border of Chu and Song was basically raised by him in the Chu State.
Although there may be some upright people, but over the decades, the generals have changed a few people, and this atmosphere has not changed, and those upright people will either be assimilated or marginalized.
So now the Song army on the border of Song and Chu can imagine its combat effectiveness. Among all the pillar states, Chen Boyuan was notoriously the least capable and the weakest in his army.
"Could it be that you can follow up by pretending to be a guard at will!"
Lin Che still couldn't believe it, after all, if you can change people at will, it's not the same as an ordinary gang!
"Don't worry, the people on my side have already paved the road, and when the time comes, you just need to communicate clearly with the people you handed over, and you'll be fine!"
Xiang Dingyuan was obviously very confident, this plan must be feasible, but it made Lin Che feel more and more that the Song army was rotten and weak.
Lin Che thought for a moment and didn't speak. Wuchen next to him listened quietly like a tool man.
"Well, sir, it should be easy!"
Xiang Dingyuan said to Lin Che with a smile.
"Your Majesty's strategizing has made me more and more in awe, but it's just ......"
Lin Che said indifferently, and the conversation changed, which made Xiang Dingyuan a little interested.
"But what?"
He looked at Lin Che with a jackal-like smile in his eyes.
"It's just that even if you invite an assassin, you have to pay a deposit first, I dare to, please give me a little protection first!"
Lin Che was very calm, and there was no fluctuation in his mood or expression.
Xiang Dingyuan knew what he meant, and he still said with that expression: "Sir, at this time, it seems that he is not qualified to negotiate terms with me!"
His words were not heavy, but the killing intent was very obvious.
Lin Che still said calmly: "I, I am the qualification! I am the bargaining chip! Just like Your Majesty just said, if Your Majesty pays this 'deposit' first! I will be a 'useful' person! If I don't pay, I will not only be useless, but also very harmful! Please Your Majesty be clear!"
The fierce light in Xiang Dingyuan's eyes became even stronger, but he still said with a grim smile: "Are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare, Your Majesty Shengming! I'm just a chess piece in Your Majesty's hands, and at this moment Your Majesty holds my weakness, and I also want to play the role of a chess piece!"
Xiang Dingyuan accepted the demeanor and said with a smile: "Hahaha! Okay, let's hear it, what kind of 'deposit' do you want?"
"All women, plus one Li Longxing!"
Lin Che said very calmly.
"Oh, five people, you want a bit too much!"
Xiang Dingyuan said a little contemplatively.
"Take half first, and then half later!"
The corners of Xiang Dingyuan's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a little appreciation: "Reasonable, the two of you will wait here in the palace, and they will be delivered!"
Random Xiang Dingyuan signaled and asked the little eunuch of Changshun to deal with this matter.
Lin Che's perception space had already opened up at this time, and he observed that the little eunuch hurriedly came to an eagle guard, and told him to let the guards let go of the few people he had requested. There is no mention of the location, no mention of the guards, which makes it difficult to find useful information.
I saw that the eagle guard seemed to have something like a talisman drawn in the air, and when it was finished, the whole talisman seemed to turn golden and shiny, but then it dissipated.
It looks a bit similar to the Golden Light Talisman of the Seven Star Pavilion, this exercise is very complicated to use, dedicated to communication, extremely consuming true qi, and has many restrictions, so generally in the Seven Star Pavilion, unless there is an important task, it will not be used. I have to say that this Dingyuan work is really thorough!
After a long time, a carriage suddenly appeared in Lin Che's perception, and it was Li Longxing and the four girls inside. Lin Che's perception range had far exceeded the area of the entire palace, and it was obvious that there was a master assisting Xiang Dingyuan.
After a while, someone came in to report, Xiang Dingyuan nodded after hearing it, and then said: "The 'deposit' you want is already at the gate of the palace!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lin Che and Wuchen were about to get up and leave, but Xiang Dingyuan specially admonished.
"There is a sentence I forgot to tell you, the people who guard them are all masters, and there is one of them, maybe they can be against Mr. Shang and this little master for a while. My order is that if you feel that someone is coming to rob someone, you will kill the hostages first!"
Speaking of this, Xiang Dingyuan didn't say anything more, and didn't wait for Lin Che's reply, got up and left here.
Lin Che lowered his head, the fists in his hands clenched tightly!
