Chapter 210: Mirage of Light and Shadow

In his ears were the familiar gentle words: "Master, assassins can't have feelings, have you forgotten?" ”

The assassin's body fell straight down, gradually cooling, only his eyes were still open, and his originally sharp pupils were now full of ashes.

At the end of the memory, it was a pair of gray eyes, Yin Jizhou's index finger and thumb rubbed, and suddenly patches of blood red in his brain, like the sunset of the afterglow, red and obscure! Like a thick fog, the two are tightly entangled!

I only feel that my heart is filled with a ball of fire, I have to kill people, and I have to see blood to be stable!

"Ahh

Yin Jizhou couldn't stand the long-term darkness, and began to launch a frenzy, suddenly a ray of open fire shone on the ground, and then the cold blade cut the side of his neck.

"I don't want to, I don't want to!"

Yin Jizhou's mind was sluggish, one was moving, the other was quiet, as if he was fighting with himself, and he couldn't even explain.

The coldness was like a snake letter, with a forbidden temptation, as bloody as the wanton slaughter of the past, and with a chill, it was a deep fear in my heart!

"Uncle!"

A crisp voice rang out from the darkness, and the flames waved away, and it was Aya who spoke.

The bright yellow candlelight shone brightly, and Aya's face became more and more white and thin.

"Uncle, you can't kill him, he's the person General Ye wants to see."

The blade retreated, and the open flame was invisible. Darkness re-encircled Yin Jizhou. I felt that someone pushed his waist forward, and the clothes on his body emitted a burst of fragrance, which was cool, and it was like a knife cut in his throat.

What happened to him just now?

"Ahh

As if stepping on the air, Yin Jizhou fell into a hole.

It is said to be a hole, and it is neatly like a room, except that the four walls are sandy.

It looks firm and hard.

Ye Yuancen sat on the desk.

This is the third time Yin Jizhou has seen Ye Yuancen, he is tall and slender, but thin, with a few short strands of beard hanging down his temples, and gray hair tied in a bronze crown.

Yin Jizhou's appearance interrupted his contemplation, and the two looked at each other, realizing that they met in the air.

"You've found this place, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Kill me, General Ye can't change the status quo." Yin Jizhou stroked the sand wall, knocked lightly, and a muffled sound came out, "If I'm not mistaken, the people who disappeared before and the remaining 50,000 troops are all under this ground, right?" Like a mouse that can't see the light of day, the former god of war-like Ye Jiajun hid in the sand cave, intending to deceive the world with a scam. ”

"Ye Jiajun no longer exists."

"What do you mean?" Yin Jizhou looked back at Ye Yuancen, trying to find something different from his indifferent expression.

"General Ben has already revised the book and returned to Beijing, saying that our army fought with the enemy country, and the casualties were exhausted, and General Ben also died in battle."

"So, the dignified General Ye, being a turtle with a shrunken head in the sand cave?"

"Heh, you are well-informed with the imperial court, you should know that the imperial court has blocked the gate of Duyang Pass, sent ten times the soldiers and horses to guard it, and my Ye family's army was completely annihilated, isn't it the result he wants?"

The corners of Yin Jizhou's mouth hooked, and he closed his eyes to feel the faint air flow in the sand cave, deep, suffocating, and faintly muffled.

When he opened his eyes, Yin Jizhou still smiled lightly: "Does General Ye want to cooperate with me?" ”

"Cooperate with what?"

"General Ye has 50,000 soldiers and horses on hand, no matter where he throws himself, he can have a foothold, and I can help General Ye to be carefree in terms of money and food."

"What do you want?"

"The position of the richest man in the world, as well as the head of the second prince."

"The richest man in the world, this general is just a martial artist, and he can't help you."

"There is a big news in the capital recently, the criminal department has spread the evidence that Ye Yuancen, a generation of war generals, collaborated with the enemy and treason, and he will be convicted and punished within three days, and the three clans will be wiped out! General Ye is also living secretly under this kind of humiliation, should he say that he is lying on his salary and tasting his courage, or is he greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"It's already done, I can't change it, you don't have to be agitated by me."

"General Ye doesn't want to find out who did it?"

Ye Yuancen glanced at Yin Jizhou, the meaning was very clear, isn't it you spies?

Yin Jizhou suddenly laughed: "Definitely." It seems that General Ye is not as wise and brave as the legend says. I admit that we are secretly passing on the news, but collaborating with the enemy and treason is a crime fabricated for you by the above. ”

Ye Yuancen's eyes were indifferent, as if he had thought of something.

"I smelled the dark tide of the imperial court five years ago, or rather, since the birth of the crown prince, the direction of the imperial court has quietly changed. The current second prince is twenty-two years old, and the crown queen Feng Yi Wang, because of the help of Prime Minister Yuan Wuwei and General Ye, continue to stay in the capital, holding the Ministry of Officials and Criminal Department, and in the battle with Cangguo, the second prince is resourceful, has made great contributions, and began to have the image of the East Palace, but the concubine is always the concubine, and the old emperor's favorite is the youngest son Junso, everything has been arranged for him, just wait for him to ascend the throne as an adult. If I am the second prince, I am also unhappy. ”

"The second prince has the grace of knowing the old minister."

"Even if he destroys your people, he won't be resentful?"

"The old minister believes in the second prince."

"What a loyal general! For the sake of this kindness, I will pay the names of hundreds of your people. For the sake of this kindness, you are willing to bear the crime of treason against the enemy with 50,000 soldiers. For the sake of this kindness, you bet on the safety of Duyang Pass and even the whole country! What a loyal general! What a trade-off! ”

"What do you know?" Ye Yuancen seemed to be persuaded by this remark.

"Anything, as long as it is done, there will be traces. The two princes formed a gang, on the surface for the country and the people, secretly cultivating an assassin organization, and plotting to assassinate dissidents. Guess how much benefit you can see in Cangguo once General Ye dies? ”

"What do you mean......"

"What, don't you understand? I said, the second prince colluded with Cangguo to buy your life! What sent troops to garrison Duyang Pass is all a disguise! ”

"Impossible!"

"Before I entered the sand cave, I walked out of the woodland and arrived at the gate tower of Duyang Pass. Guess what I saw? ”

Ye Yuancen didn't ask.

Yin Jizhou replied himself: "The rumbling sound, that is the horn that only the Cangguo army has, made of rare horns from the cold and snowy land. I saw it in Cangguo two years ago when I was traveling in disguise. General Ye has been fighting for many years and should know. In addition to boosting morale, the horn also has a special grammar for voice transmission, similar to code words. I heard them blowing: The city gate is broken, Prince Subing. ”

"Duyangguan ......"

"Duyangguan is the gateway of Rongyi County, to the north is Mochizuki, Rujun, Luozi, and then to the north, the capital. With the speed at which Cangguo is attacking the city and pulling out the village, you say, if you hide for a few more days, how many acres of land is left in Yuguo? ”

"Nope! The second prince said in a secret letter that Cangguo promised that as long as I die, there will be an immediate truce! ”

I saw Yin Jizhou's eyes shining, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth widened and widened: "Oh, so that's the case." ”
