Chapter 34: Conspiracy

In the dark room of King Xian's mansion, Zhan Zhao saw King Xian sitting quietly at the table, holding a paintbrush in his hand and not knowing what he was painting, looking calm and relaxed, even though he was very worried about Bao Zheng's safety, but he was unable to get out of the prisoner at this moment, and his legs were discounted, I am afraid that he would not be able to move for a while, so he had no choice but to temporarily concentrate and secretly breathe.

King Xian glanced at Zhan Zhao, who was pranayama, and sneered: "Zhan Zhao, this king advises you not to waste your efforts, your two legs are useless, even if this king lets you out now, do you think you can climb out of this king's Xianwang mansion?

Zhan Zhao said indifferently: "How about that? Zhan Zhao only wants to have a clear conscience in doing things, and he has never thought about whether it is worth it or not." ”

"This king actually cherishes you in his heart, after all, looking at today's court, there are very few people like you who can be civil and martial, it is better for you to submit to me, this king not only has a way to cure your legs, but also guarantees that you will be able to soar in the future, what do you think?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said: "Zhan Zhao entered the office only to follow Lord Bao to punish evil and promote good, not to seek glory and wealth, Lord, Zhan Zhao also advises you, no matter what conspiracy you have, you should give up as soon as possible, evil is not good, and the prince is turning back." ”

"Hahahaha, people who are about to be cornered are still hard-mouthed, it turns out that the people who come out of your Kaifeng Mansion are all the same stubborn......."

A sound of footsteps outside the door interrupted King Xian's words, and Huang Que hurried in from outside with rouge, both of them with some obvious scars on their bodies, apparently having just gone through a vicious fight.

As soon as Zhanzhao saw Rouge, he knew that Kaifeng Mansion must have been robbed, according to the character of Bai Yutang and those people in the dynasty, if it was not to the point of being unable to fight back, they would never let Huang Que succeed, and Bai Yutang's martial arts could not suppress them, it can be seen that King Xian's subordinates must be masters like clouds, but I don't know if Lord Bao is safe, when I think of this, I am already anxious in my heart, and I can't wait to break the chain and return to Kaifeng Mansion immediately.

King Xian glanced at Zhan Zhao, saw that his face was shocked and angry, and smiled at him proudly, as if he was sarcastic about what Zhan Zhao had just said.

As soon as Rouge saw King Xian, he 'poofed' regardless of the injuries on his body, knelt in front of King Xian, and said with a crying voice: "Lord Wang, Rouge has repeatedly missed his hand, and he really has no face to see the prince again, and he should have committed suicide a long time ago to atone for his mistakes." The prince was magnanimous and ordered Huang Que to rescue Rouge, but Rouge didn't know how to repay the prince. ”

King Xian looked at Rouge coldly, and did not reach out to help her up, she knelt on the ground with blood flowing, and said for a while: "Rouge, this king saved you not to let you thank me, you have repeatedly missed, in the heart of this king, you are already a dead man, if it is not for the change of plans, this king will not make so much effort, let Huang Que save you, I hope you will not let this king down again this time." ”

As he spoke, King Xian picked up the paper he had just drawn from the table, threw it in front of Rouge, and said, "You can take a closer look at this person, this king wants you to become her, can you do it?"

Rouge picked up the drawing paper, looked at it seriously for a while, and said, "My subordinates will do it," and walked out.

Zhan Zhao saw that the painting paper was actually a portrait of Zhang Guifei, and heard that King Xian asked Rouge to pretend to be Zhang Guifei, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and he was horrified in his heart, and he couldn't help but burst out: "King Xian, you are so bold, you actually want to kill the king." ”

Huang Que couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Zhan Zhao's intentions to break the Xian King's words, he didn't expect Zhan Zhao's thinking to be so agile, he rushed to him with an arrow step, raised his palm and slapped it at Zhan Zhao Tianlinggai, Zhan Zhao saw that Huang Que had a strong palm, obviously using ten successful powers, obviously wanting to kill himself and extinguish his mouth, and he didn't struggle, his face was as usual, his eyes were closed, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he died indifferently.

At this moment, King Xian said coldly: "Huang Que, stop, when will I let you kill Zhanzhao,"

Huang Que's body slammed suddenly, and he immediately withdrew his palm, but in the end he had doubts in his heart, and asked: "Master, why is this? Keeping Zhanzhao is a scourge after all, not to mention that he is..."

"Shut up," King Xian interrupted Huang Que's words, frowned and said: "Zhanzhao usually has contact with Kaifeng Mansion on weekdays, but the news has suddenly been cut off in the past few days, especially when the Kaifeng Mansion Prison was robbed tonight, such a big thing, he actually didn't react, according to Bao Zheng's careful thoughts, he will inevitably suspect this king, maybe it won't be long before he will come here to ask for someone, you kill Zhanzhao now, wouldn't you not admit yourself?"

Huang Que was so little by King Xian, he suddenly understood, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Master, it was a subordinate who was reckless." ”

"Forget it, you can't be impulsive in the future, think about the time when you wanted to kill Zhan Zhao just now, did he ever think about struggling? How could the dignified Nanxia be willing to let you slaughter, he just waited for you to kill him, so that he could use his corpse to send a letter to Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, am I right?" King Xian looked at Zhan Zhao with a cold face and an expressionless face.

Zhan Zhao saw that his mind was punctured, so he only 'snorted', and then turned his head and ignored him.

'Tu~Tu~Tu~Tu' The door of the dark room rang three times regularly, and Huang Que stepped forward to open the door, and glanced at the person outside the door and was slightly surprised, but after a while, he came back to his senses and brought the person in.

King Xian looked at this face that was exactly the same as Zhang Guifei, nodded with satisfaction, Rouge saw that the prince was satisfied, and relieved his heart a little, and suddenly remembered something and said to the prince: "My subordinates have never heard Zhang Guifei's voice, I'm afraid that when I speak, I will leak out of the horse's feet, can the prince have a way for me to listen to Zhang Guifei's voice?"

King Xian smiled, stared at Rouge's face and said, "This is difficult, Concubine Zhang is no longer in the Yang world, you have to listen to her voice, unless you go to the underworld." ”

Rouge was in a cold sweat when he was looked at by King Xian, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord.... Master, subordinates.... The subordinates didn't want to find out where Zhang Guifei was, it was.... The subordinates are afraid that they will be found out and ruin the master's plan. ”

King Xian said with a vague 'um' sound: "Wait a minute, Huang Que will take you to see Zhang Guifei's personal palace maid, you can study hard." ”

Rouge didn't dare to say more, nodded, and stood beside the yellow finch.

Huang Que looked at Zhanzhao and thought that King Xian had just said that Bao Zheng might come to ask for someone, so he asked, "Master, if Bao Zheng really comes to ask for someone, shall we just hand over Zhanzhao like this?"

King Xian smiled and said, "I can't, so I ..... We've got to make Zhanzhao obedient first, right?"

Zhan Zhao said coldly: "Even if you have any means, if you want Zhan to obey your orders, you will undoubtedly be a fool." ”

When King Xian heard Zhanzhao say this, he was not angry, he slowly took out a small box from his sleeve, opened the box, and a cold dark fragrance wafted out, and there was only a round and tiny pill in it but with a bright color, King Xian gently twisted the pill, handed it to Huang Que and said, "Give this to Zhanzhao to eat." ”

Huang Que took the pill, and the rouge beside him smelled the cold fragrance, and his face couldn't help but change.

King Xian looked at it coldly, chuckled and said, "What's the matter?

Rouge didn't dare to hide it, nodded and said: "My subordinates have heard that there is a poison in the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, if a person takes it like a puppet, he only obeys the order of the first person he sees when he opens his eyes, so this medicine is also called the soul pill, but it is rumored that this medicine is the forbidden medicine of the Sichuan Gate, the pill is only the size of a grain of rice, with a dark fragrance, and the color is bright, but no one has seen it with his own eyes, and the subordinates look at the pill of the prince, which is very similar to the soul pill. ”

King Xian said: "I didn't expect you to know so much about the poison of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, what you said is right, this is the soul pill, the only one on the rivers and lakes, how about it, this king is still very fond of Zhanzhao." ”

Rouge looked at Zhan Zhao, who was being forced to take the pill, and thought: Once this medicine is taken , the person who takes the medicine will become a walking corpse, life is better than death, and there is no antidote, Zhanzhao is such a character, I didn't expect to end up like this, let alone imagine that the gentle and elegant appearance of the virtuous king would make such a vicious method, and I couldn't help but feel chills in my heart.

When Zhan Zhao heard what Rouge said, he naturally refused to eat it, but his hands were handcuffed, and his feet couldn't move, and after a few struggles, Huang Que finally stuffed the dementor pill into his mouth, and Huang Que raised Zhan Zhao's chin neatly, and he didn't let go until he swallowed the pill.

King Xian motioned to Huang Que to loosen his hands, as soon as the chain was opened, Zhanzhao fell heavily to the ground, unable to move, his heart seemed to be torn apart by life, and the intuition in his brain was unbearable, and the beads of sweat slipped down from his head, dripping on the floor tiles and became wet after a while, he clenched his teeth, and clasped the floor tiles in front of him with both hands, insisting on not letting himself scream, gradually, Zhanzhao felt that his eyes began to blur, and his consciousness began to be unclear, and after a while, his eyes were dark, and he passed out.

Rouge didn't want to look any further, so he said that he wanted to see the palace maid, and King Xian intended to let them all leave, so he took the opportunity to let Huang Que take Rouge out, but he himself stayed in the dark room, patiently waiting for Zhanzhao's medicine to pass, and he wanted Zhanzhao to see himself at first sight after waking up, so that he could firmly control Zhanzhao's mind and let him use it.

Huang Que took Rouge to a side room, pointed to it and said, "The palace maid is inside, you can go in and find her yourself." ”

Rouge grabbed Huang Que's sleeve and said, "You knew that King Xian was such a person, why did you still have such a heart for him?"

Huang Que was silent for a moment and said: "I have followed the prince since I was a child, if I didn't have him, I might not be alive today, no matter what kind of person the prince is, for me, he is my benefactor, my master, and the person I want to protect with my life." ”

Rouge sighed lightly and said, "Even if you know that the chances of what the prince is going to do next are extremely small, do you still want to help him?"

Huang Que smiled: "Aren't you the same?"

Rouge shook his head and said: "I'm different from you, since I was a child, the prince just used me as a pawn, as a tool to kill people, every time I made a mistake, I was either beaten or scolded, if it wasn't for you to protect me, I'm afraid I don't know how many times I would have died, and you, have always made us the best in this group of dead soldiers, and fell in love with him, he regards you as a confidant, and has never been carefully taught and never seen him beat and scold you, if he hadn't changed his mind to use me temporarily, I'm afraid I would have died in Kaifeng Mansion Prison like Yue Qi." Looking at the current situation, the prince is thinking of the last fight, I know, no matter what the final outcome is, I am going to die, however, there is a sentence I have always wanted to say to you in my heart, no matter how good he is to you, Huang Que is always just using you, even if he succeeds this time, do you think he will stay by your side? I am a mortal person, you still have a chance to live, everything is better to plan for yourself. ”

Huang Que didn't expect Rouge to suddenly say such a thing, he looked at Rouge in a daze, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he whispered: "You dare to say such a rebellious thing, aren't you afraid that I will tell the prince?"

Rouge was not afraid of the yellow bird's intimidation, and said softly: "Why do you scare me, I said those words only out of my heart, I am a person who is about to die, what if I say something from my heart? ”

Huang Que didn't want to talk to Rouge anymore, so he said: "Now is not the time for us to say this, people are already waiting for you inside, since we have all chosen the prince, then do our part, and it is useless to think about the rest." ”

Rouge couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard Huang Que say this, and then she didn't say any more, and walked towards the house with her legs raised.

Huang Que silently looked at the back of Rouge leaving, a sour smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "It's too late, if there is an afterlife..... no, how can people like us have an afterlife?"

"Ding~Ding~Ding" Zhanzhao gradually regained consciousness in a string of crisp bells, and suddenly heard a low voice talking to him: "Zhanzhao, it's almost time, you can wake up, I will be your master in the future, you must obey my orders, Zhanzhao, did you hear that?"

Zhan Zhao slowly opened his eyes, there were only a few candles burning in the dim room, he looked at the room, he felt as if he had been in this place, just as he wanted to stand up and look around, there was a sharp pain in his legs, which made him gasp and fall back again.

"Zhanzhao," King Xian walked out of the corner and looked at Zhanzhao.

As soon as Zhan Zhao looked up, he saw that King Xian's dark eyes were staring at him, he suddenly felt that this person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, he wanted to think about it, but his eyes were also staring at King Xian uncontrollably, and slowly, Zhan Zhaodi's eyes became no longer clear, became chaotic and dull, without a trace of brilliance.

King Xian put away the soul technique, was very satisfied with the current Zhanzhao, leaned down and said to Zhanzhao who was lying on the ground: "Zhanzhao, from today on, I am your master, you are very good, your leg was injured by yourself when you broke into the Five Elements Formation, if I hadn't arrived in time to turn off the mechanism, I am afraid that your life would have to stay there, remember?"

Zhan Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Yes, master, Zhan Zhao understands." ”

King Xian smiled with satisfaction and shouted outside the door, "Someone." ”

Two guards dressed in dark leotards appeared at the door.

King Xian pointed at Zhanzhao and said, "You Jiang and him take him down, bandage it well, and let him rest well on the bed." ”

The two took the order and dragged Zhanzhao down.

After King Xian left, he sealed the dark room, returned to his room, and silently sketched the Jihua in his heart.
