Chapter 267: Secret Edict
Looking at the two human heads rolling on the ground like leather balls, Dong Cheng smiled lightly, then put away his mental image with satisfaction, scissors, and then the cold color on his face receded, and his eyes returned to calm again.
At this time, the wind and sand blew, and Feng Quan and Feng Gang's two headless bodies were blown to the ground by the wind, blood flowed from their necks, and soon they were dyed red, and there was a faint smell of blood in the wind.
After witnessing everything that happened through the car window, Cheng Yu, the envoy of the Liang State, stepped out of the carriage with confidence, he walked to Dong Cheng's side with haughty steps, and then with a disdainful gaze, he glanced at the two headless corpses on the ground, and the two miserable heads that fell in the distance.
The corner of his mouth smiled coldly, and Cheng Yu cursed and said, "Hmph, two things who don't know whether they are dead or alive dare to assassinate me! ”
After scolding, the anger in Cheng Yu's heart gradually subsided, and then he looked at the corpses of Feng Quan and Feng Gang, and suddenly had a brilliant idea in his heart.
"Huh...... God help me. Cheng Yu clapped his hands and smiled, "I was worried that there was no excuse to persuade the king to send troops to recruit Jiang Guo, and now you are just sending it to the door." The envoys of Liang were attacked by assassins in the territory of Jiang, and the identity of the assassins was a general of Jiang, apparently, this was the dissatisfaction of the Jiang people with the Liang state, and they intended to murder the envoys of Liang. Great, I wrote to the king on this reason to advise the king, so that the ministers were attacked in Jiang and sent troops to Jiang Guo. ”
Cheng Yu looked extremely proud, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
If an envoy is sent to another country on behalf of the country, respecting the visiting envoy is respecting the other country, and if the envoy is insulted, it is an insult to the other country, not to mention such an extremely bad thing as assassinating the envoy.
Listening to Cheng Yu's proud words, Dong Cheng suddenly said coldly, "However, Lord Cheng Yu, although you have been attacked in Jiang Kingdom, you have not died, and you have not been injured, so the severity of the attack on the envoy has been greatly reduced, and I am afraid it is not enough to constitute a reason to send troops to fight." ”
"Bastard, what do you mean by this, do you want me to be injured or die in Jiang Guo?" Hearing this, Cheng Yu turned around angrily and scolded Dong Cheng sharply.
"Hehe, Master Cheng Yu, you guessed it, I did mean this. Dong Cheng bowed slightly to Cheng Yu and said. Then when he got up again, his eyes changed sharply in an instant, and a layer of coldness suddenly enveloped his face.
Hearing Dong Cheng's words, Cheng Yu's heart suddenly aroused a deep chill, and a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead, he subconsciously took a step back, and said in a somewhat panicked tone, "Dong Cheng, what did you just say? I didn't understand what you meant, what do you want to do? I am the envoy of Liang State, and I am your boss." ”
Although Cheng Yu pretended to be calm, his trembling and trembling tone betrayed him.
"Master Cheng Yu, when it comes to this point, I won't hide it from you. In fact, before coming to Jiang Kingdom, the king secretly summoned me and gave me a secret edict. Dong Cheng said to Cheng Yu.
Hearing that Dong Cheng actually had a secret edict from King Liang, Cheng Yu's face was shocked, and he immediately asked, "The king gave you a secret edict, why have I never heard of this?"
"Huh...... Since it is the king's secret edict, of course I can't let you know. Dong Cheng sneered and continued, "The king said that Liang must rob the armor iron ore in the border mountain of Jiang State, if Lord Cheng Yu's plan to envoy Jiang Guo to assist Rong Guo to seize Jiang Guo fails, then let me secretly create friction and provoke the contradiction between Liang and Jiang State, as a reason for Liang State to send troops to recruit Jiang State." ”
"Therefore, the secret edict given to me by the king is that once Lord Cheng Yu's plan fails, let me kill you, and then blame Jiang Guo, creating the illusion that Jiang Guoren killed the envoys of Liang State, so that Liang State can become famous and send troops to Jiang State. ”
Dong Cheng looked at Cheng Yu coldly, and after he finished speaking, the next second, there was an awe-inspiring killing intent in his eyes.
"No, the king won't do this, the king won't let me die......" After listening to Dong Cheng's secret edict, Cheng Yu shook his head again and again, and said in disbelief, "I want to go back to Liang Kingdom, I want to meet the king face to face, I am loyal to the king, and I will do my best for Liang Kingdom, the king will not let me die, how can the king let you kill me, it must be you who are fake secret edicts......"
Listening to Cheng Yu's incoherent words, Dong Cheng smiled coldly, and then said, "Lord Cheng Yu, how dare I fake the king's secret edict, this is a capital crime of killing the head!"
Yes, Dong Cheng is a soldier of Liang State, and he is the close guard of King Liang, and it was King Liang who personally sent Dong Cheng to escort Cheng Yu to envoy Jiang Guo, he could not and did not dare to fake the secret edict.
"So, it's true, the king really wants you to kill me!" Cheng Yu was completely desperate, he stood in place in distraction, his lips trembling.
"Yes, the so-called king let the minister die, and the minister had to die, Lord Cheng Yu, don't blame me, I am also acting on orders. Dong Cheng said indifferently, "Along the way, I have been looking for opportunities, thinking about how to kill you and how to blame Jiang Guoren." Just like you said, God really helped me, it just so happened that we met Feng Quan and Feng Gang to seek revenge, I could have killed you, and then blamed the two of them. Anyway, Feng Quan and Feng Gang were also killed by me, and there is no proof of death, and those Jiang soldiers who fled also saw it, and the two of them are coming to kill you, I think after those soldiers flee back, they will definitely tell Jiang Guoren that the envoys of Liang have been attacked, and the murderers are Feng Quan and Feng Gang. Now that everything is ready, it's time for you to die. ”
After listening to Dong Cheng's words, Cheng Yu suddenly laughed and said, "Hehe...... You're thinking so carefully. ”
This weak laughter obviously implied that Cheng Yu had given up the struggle and was ready to die.
"Thank you for the compliment. Coldly thanked him, Dong Cheng suddenly made a move, and his right hand galloped out, like a pitch-black blade out of the sheath, instantly penetrating Cheng Yu's heart, blood stained Dong Cheng's fingers red, and drops of bright red blood fell to the ground.
Cheng Yu's pupils widened, the corners of his mouth twitched, before he died, he thought back on his life, he had done his best for King Liang for forty years, and he didn't dare to slack off, but his sincere loyalty was exchanged for King Liang's secret edict to kill him, and finally ended up with a tragic death in a foreign land.
Cheng Yu's throat slid hard, and he wanted to scold King Liang loudly, calling him cruel and ruthless, but when the voice reached his throat, he could only let out a weak moan.
This most pitiful person is even more miserable than the two brothers Feng Quan and Feng Gang who have no head, at least the two of them died on the land of their own country. Cheng Yu closed his eyes, then leaned back, and fell to the land of Jiang Guo, the wind and sand swept mercilessly across his body, and a thin layer of sand fell on his face, like a gray cloth covering him.
After killing Cheng Yu, Dong Cheng carried his body back to the carriage, and then Dong Cheng walked up to the bodies of Feng Quan and Feng Gang and took out a white medicine bottle from his arms. Uncorked the bottle, and suddenly a pungent smell came out, Dong Cheng held his breath and poured the green potion in the bottle on the corpses of Feng Quan and Feng Gang.
The potion dripped into the blood, and there was an instant reaction, and the bodies of the two of them "swooped" with blood bubbles, and white gas rose, and the air was filled with a fishy smell, which was disgusting, and after a while, the bodies of the two of them turned into a pool of blood, and even the clothes melted, and soon, a gust of wind and sand blew, completely covering the blood on the ground.
According to the law, Dong Cheng dripped this potion on the heads of Feng Quan and Feng Gang, and soon, the heads of the two also turned into blood and disappeared.
This potion, called "corpse liquid", was bought by Liang Guo from An Shice in Wuxian City, and was used to destroy corpses. In this way, no one knows that Feng Quan and Feng Gang are dead, and they will never be able to find the two of them, and this is Dong Cheng's purpose.
After disposing of the corpse, in order to make everything more realistic, Dong Cheng raised his left hand again, then aimed at his right chest, and struck a sudden blow, and suddenly Dong Cheng spat blood from his mouth, and his face instantly turned pale. Blood stained the clothes on his chest, and he looked like he had been seriously injured after being attacked.
Dong Cheng smiled with satisfaction, then jumped into the carriage, drove Cheng Yu's body, and drove to the border pass of Jiang State overnight, until the dawn of the second day, Dong Cheng left the border pass of Jiang State. When passing through the border pass of Jiang State, Dong Cheng deliberately told the soldiers guarding the pass that Cheng Yu was killed by Feng Quan and Feng Gang, and he wanted to take Cheng Yu's body back to return to King Liang, and also deliberately let the soldiers see Cheng Yu's body with their own eyes.
The soldiers guarding the pass saw Cheng Yu's corpse, and reported the bad news back to the national capital on the same day and told King Jiang. A few days later, not only the entire Jiang State, but even the other vassal states heard about it, and the traitor Feng Quan Feng Gang attacked the army escorting the envoys of the Liang State in order to avenge the Dazai Jiang Zi'an, seriously injured the attendant Dong Cheng, and finally killed the envoy Cheng Yu. After killing the envoys of the Liang State, Feng Quan and Feng Gang fled, and their whereabouts have been unknown ever since.
Dong Cheng carried Cheng Yu's corpse day and night, driving for seven days and seven nights in a row, during which he changed seven fast horses, and finally returned to Liang. Upon learning that the envoy had been killed, King Liang pretended to be "furious", and the next day, he issued an ultimatum to Jiang Guo.
"The tragic death of the envoys of the Liang State in the territory of the Jiang State is really a shame for the Liang State and a disrespect for the Jiang State. Jiang Guo was ordered to hand over the murderers of the envoys, Feng Quan and Feng Gang, within seven days, in a just and just manner. Otherwise, the Liang State will raise a 100,000 revenge army, and with the momentum of thunder, set foot on the Jiang State and take revenge. ”
