"The emperor ordered me to kill Wang Yang, a traitor, on the road, and asked Lord Wu to cooperate with us at that time."

The man in black did not answer his words directly, but said his own business.

"How do I know if what you're saying is true or not?" Wu Dequan still didn't believe their words, after all, he still needed Shen Zhongbai's token to make him believe.

The man in black didn't give anything to confirm their identity, and turned to leave his tent.

Although Wu Dequan was very suspicious of Wang Yang in his heart, the words of the man in black aggravated his suspicion of Qin Liangping, if Wang Yang was Shen Qianshan's person, then Qin Liangping was not?

With a stomach full of doubts, Wu Dequan fell asleep.

After walking for half a day, they came to a county.

They stayed in an inn, Wang Yang didn't know what the shopkeeper said, Wu Dequan saw the shopkeeper smile and nodded.

With doubts, Wu Dequan went to ask the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, what did that man tell you just now?"

"The adult just now said that you are an adult who went to the south to control the water, and asked me to buy you a few side dishes for you in the evening."

The shopkeeper said with a smile, obviously he has a good impression of Wu Dequan, probably because of his identity as a water control official.

How could Wu Dequan believe that Wang Yang would be so kind, there must be some conspiracy in this.

"Shopkeeper, I'm a little tired from traveling today, and I ask you to bring me into my room for dinner today."

"Okay."

Evening.

Wu Dequan waited in the room for a long time without seeing anyone bring food, and just when he was waiting impatiently, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock."

When he opened the door, he saw Wang Yang standing in front of his door with a food box in his hand.

Wu Dequan immediately became vigilant.

"How are you?" Wu Dequan asked.

"Master Wu, Xia Guan was just about to come to you to discuss the matter of water control, and he met Xiao Er, who brought you food, and brought it to you by the way."

"I'm sorry to trouble Lord Wang." Wu Dequan said with a smile: "Lord Wang, come in." ”

Although I don't want to be in the same room with him, someone else has already arrived, so I can't find an excuse to ask someone to leave.

Entering the room, Wang Yang put the food box in his hand on the table.

"Does Master Wu want to eat first?" Wang Yang asked, pointing to the lunch box.

Afraid that Wang Yang would poison the lunch box, Wu Dequan waved his hand, "I'm not hungry yet, let's talk to you about water control first." ”

Seeing him say this, a flash of loss flashed in Wang Yang's eyes. Then, the two chatted for a while, and Wang Yang left.

Wu Dequan took out the silver needle and tried all the food, but the silver needle did not turn black. But in his heart, he always felt that there was something wrong with this food box.

In order to prevent Wang Yang from discovering the clues, Wu Dequan took the food box and went to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, why is there a bug in your dish?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly came to check and found that there was really a bug inside and quickly apologized.

"I'm very sorry, but this adult and little man will ask the kitchen man to make a new one for you."

In a corner upstairs, Wang Yang looked at the situation downstairs, and the fist in his hand was tightened.

The remade meal Wu Dequan was eaten downstairs.

"Oh no, no."

Suddenly, Xiao Er rushed over.

"What's wrong? So in such a hurry. The shopkeeper asked Xiao Er suspiciously.

"The pigs in the back are all dead."

"What!" The shopkeeper was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I didn't know, all the pigs in the backyard were dead." Xiao Er was anxious.

Suddenly something occurred to him, "By the way, I just fed the leftovers from those guests to the pigs." ”

His words successfully attracted Wu Dequan's attention, the food that Wang Yang gave him just now was also in it, and the pigs died as soon as he changed the new food, this is a coincidence or Wang Yang really has the intention of harming him.

Thinking about it, Wu Dequan didn't have the heart to eat, and turned around and returned to the room.

He thought of the man in black he met two days ago, he knew that Wang Yang must be dissatisfied with him, but after all, he was the emperor's own lord who was able to control the water, if something happened, then Wang Yang must be asked, did he dare to be so blatant?

"I didn't expect your life to be so big, if you ate that meal, maybe you would be the one who died now."

The sudden sound startled Wu Dequan, and he looked at the open window on the side and understood that the man in black had come in through the window.

"How do you know that Wang Yang wants to frame me, even if he wants to frame me, I am also Lord Qincha who controls the water, is he not afraid of being discovered?"

His words caused a burst of laughter from the man in black.

"Hahaha, should I laugh at your naivety or should I laugh at you for being stupid, if you die, he will be Lord Qincha who controls the water, as long as he says that you were poisoned by others, who can know that it is him."

"You won't be the one sent by the emperor." Wu Dequan Road.

"Yes."

Wu Dequan didn't expect him to admit it so generously.

"And who sent you? What is the purpose? ”

"I was commissioned to get rid of a man, but we were going to kill the same person."

The words of the man in black reminded him of Wang Yang.

"What kind of grudge does Wang Yang have with you?"

"It's my business, and if you're willing to help me, I'll tell you a secret." What the man in black said was very mysterious, but he fell into the arms of Wu Dequan.

"Why should I believe you?" Wu Dequan asked.

The man in black didn't reply, and said, "I will come to kill Wang Yang tomorrow night, and I will ask Lord Wu for help." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Wu Dequan to agree, a flying body left his room.

Soon after the man in black went out, the pigeon, which had been white, flew out of this small county town.

The next day, Wu Dequan deliberately slowed down the entire team's itinerary and made them sleep on the streets again.

At night, Wu Dequan carefully counted the time, waiting for the arrival of the man in black.

The inside of the tent was extremely dark, Wu Dequan felt that someone had entered his tent, thinking it was a man in black, so he said softly: "Are you going to do it now?" ”

Unexpectedly, the man was stunned for a moment, raised his hand holding the dagger, and stabbed at him.

Wu Dequan sensed that something was wrong, and dodged his assassination with a single dodge.

Then, he heard the sound of a fierce fight outside, and he looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Huh." With a sneer, Wang Yang took off his veil, "Master Wu, I didn't expect you to know that I was going to do something to you, since that's the case, I don't have to bother." ”

"Wang Yang."

Wu Dequan exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly dodged the dagger that stabbed at him.

After all, Wu Dequan practiced martial arts every day, and his martial arts were naturally much better than Wang Yang's.

The fighting outside was extremely fierce, and he didn't want to snatch the dagger in Wang Yang's hand and cut his throat with a knife, not giving him a chance to refute at all.

"Come on, Lord Wang was killed by the assassins, give me the right to catch the assassins."

As soon as his words came out, the Assassins outside prepared to retreat, as if he were sending a message to the man in black.

In order not to suspect him, he stabbed himself and threw the dagger outside the tent.

Looking at Wu Dequan who came out of the tent in a mess, the soldiers came to protect him one after another.

"Quick, Lord Wang is unfortunately dead, quickly catch the man in black."

He commanded weakly by his tent.

Immediately, he went into darkness.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed him.

"Thanks to Lord Wu's help today, in order to repay Lord Wu, I will tell you a secret."

"Actually, Wang Yang was sent by the emperor to kill you, and there is more than one person."

After speaking, the man in black disappeared into the darkness, leaving only Wu Dequan stunned in place.

Wu Dequan didn't believe the words of the man in black, but he had a pimple in his heart.

As the men in black retreated, the soldiers were dealing with the wounded.

"Lord Wu, Lord Wu."

I heard someone call me Wu Dequan hurriedly walked out of the darkness before coming out.

"What's wrong?" Wu Dequan came to the soldier who was looking for him and asked.

"Lord Wu, what to do with Lord Wang's corpse."

Thinking of the scene where Wang Yang wanted to assassinate him just now, Wu Dequan couldn't wait to kill him in the wilderness, if it weren't for his wit in the inn before, he must have been sent back to Kyoto by now.

"Send the corpse back to Kyoto, and give the emperor a letter to tell us about the situation along the way."

The words of the man in black still remained in his heart, and there were still people who killed him in his team, although he didn't believe that it would be Shen Zhongbai, but there were still people who wanted to return him, and he needed to be careful.

In order not to be discovered by the spies, Wu Dequan returned to his tent and planned to repair a book for Shen Zhongbai.

Lingyin Court.

Shen Qianshan received the news that Wang Yang was dead, and now their plan was half completed.

"Let Rong Lian repair the book to Qin Liangping, saying that Wang Yang was killed by Wu Dequan."

Wang Yang is Qin Liangpingzi's proud protégé, originally he wanted Mrs. Wu to marry Wang Yang, but he didn't want Wu Dequan to go to the first emperor first, but he gave him a marriage, which allowed Wu Dequan to take advantage of this.

This task was originally to let Wang Yang kill Wu Dequan, but now it was Wang Yang who died, which had to make Qin Liangping suspect that Shen Zhongbai was setting up his snobbery in the court.

Palace.

Shen Zhongbai received Wu Dequan's flying pigeon and saw that it was written:

Wang Yang is the person of the Nine Princes, and he is subject to exclude.

"Bang."

Shen Zhong slapped his palm on the desk angrily, eager to scrape Wu Dequan alive.

"This Wude Quan's life is really big."

No matter how much he explained to Qin Liangping, it wouldn't work.

He thought about it for a while, this Wu Dequan couldn't stay, he repaired a book for Wu Dequan, and wrote a letter to another person in the team to control the water.

The pigeon flew into the sky and was suddenly beaten down.

Shen Qianshan took the two pigeons and took out the note on them.

"Things turned out as you expected." Chu Tiankuo said with a smile.

Shen Qianshan quietly read the contents of the note, and put the note back separately, but the note on both sides was reversed.

When the pigeon flew out, he opened his thin lips lightly: "Let's wait and see the show." ”

Looking at his departing back, the corners of Chu Tiankuo's mouth hooked up with an expectant smile.
