Fresh flowers are placed in the nave, and in addition to the bookshelves and the couches where the waiters rest, there is a sea of flowers everywhere, which is very beautiful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info81Δ

The palace slaves who placed the flower pots were driven out of the main hall, and a few attendants gently closed the door, and then tiptoed back to their couches, faithfully guarding their king.

King Touman likes to take a nap, and he has to be drunk for half an hour at this time every day, and he does not change it all year round, and the waiters know this habit of his, for fear of disturbing him.

The attendants sat quietly, they could not do anything, for fear of making a noise, nor could they sleep, and they were responsible for the safety of the king, and they were like inanimate pieces of wood, with their backs straight, sitting awkwardly, and waiting carefully.

But on a scorching afternoon, there is an irresistible sense of tiredness, and the warm sunlight enters through the windows of the upper half of the palace, and it is even more drowsy when sprinkled on the body.

I don't know how long it took, first one waiter drooped his head, then another, and then another...... Even the most loyal and vigilant waiter also crooked and fell into a deep sleep.

All ten attendants fell asleep, this is something that has never happened before, these people are very loyal, tried and tested, in the old days, occasionally there may be one or two people who can't resist drowsing, but they will soon be woken up by others, and then accept the wordless reprimand of others, if it is seen by the king, there is no next chance, because they will be dragged out and killed with a cane.

Today's strange situation, ten people sleeping together, is really weird.

Fortunately, at this time, no one dared to come in and disturb the king's rest, nor did he see these negligent messengers, and certainly not a pot of beautiful flowers with indigo flowers, which were emitting a faint light blue smoke like a dream in the sunlight.

The light blue smoke was very thin at first, almost faintly visible, but under the continuous rays of the sun, the smoke became thicker and bluer, and when it came to the back flower pot, it simply turned into a demon's mouth, spitting out dark blue strange smoke in large gulps.

By this time, the waiters had already slept deeply, in fact, they had already fallen asleep when the light blue thin smoke had just been spewed out, and the absence of the word "faint" was not enough to describe the extent of their deep sleep, and at this time, even if someone felt that they were lazy and slapped hard, they could not be successfully woken up.

It's not that these envoys really don't fulfill their responsibilities, but they have unknowingly fallen for a kind of incense - Ding Peng's special incense for this operation, smeared on the flowers, without the slightest toxicity, it is difficult to be detected by conventional drug detection methods, but it is not much harm to the human body.

Ding Peng's target was not these attendants, but the Loulan King Touman inside.

The dark blue smoke continued to spew out, and soon it was enveloping the vast nave, and as the outward door was locked, the smoke seeped into the inner chamber along the separated gauze tents and curtains.

At the same time as the deep blue smoke filled the air, a flower pot with countless small star-like buds suddenly moved, then shook again, and after a while, it beat violently again, and then, the sand and soil burst, countless small flower buds flew one after another, and a golden lightning-like thing suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the flower pot, and then quickly swam along the ground towards the dormitory.

When it passed through the pearl curtain where the nave and the dormitory met, it was a little slower, and then it was clear what it looked like, this was a very terrible poisonous snake, with blood-red snake skin, four legs, about eight inches long, but there was a large golden crown of flesh on the top of its head, and its narrow eyes were now spewing with the anger of a human being, with bitter hatred, and quickly rushed into the dormitory.

The dormitory was smaller than the nave, and by this time it had already been shrouded in blue smoke, and the king of Loulan, Touman, slept peacefully on the huge velvet bed, as if he was still sleeping in the countryside and did not want to wake up.

The golden-crowned snake had a clear goal, and without hesitation, it jumped onto the bed with lightning speed, and unceremoniously bit Touman's throat, arms, soles of feet, and all the exposed places on his body, and finally bit at the corner of Touman's mouth, and the flesh crown on his head kept shrinking, injecting all the venom in his body into the body of King Loulan.

This golden-crowned snake can be seen from the previous angry eyes are very human, but I don't know what kind of grudge it has with Touman, it is so cruel and vicious, and it does not cherish its own life, this golden-crowned poisonous snake is extremely poisonous, but the venom is also its life essence, once it is consumed, its own life has come to an end.

Sure enough, after a few moments, the sarcoma of the golden-crowned snake dried up, and it also became languishing, and after circling twice along the body of King Touman, it let out a mournful cry, and its body stiffened and stopped moving.

The hall became silent again, the poisonous snake, the head man king, and even the ten attendants in the middle hall did not make a sound as if they were dead, there was really no sound, because their heartbeats had stopped, and their breathing had stopped, although the incense made by Ding Peng was not toxic, but the dark blue smoke was highly poisonous, it was another set of plans arranged by Ding Peng, even if the golden-crowned snake could not bite Tou Man, the blue smoke would make up for it.

For this operation, Ding Peng carefully selected two pots of flowers worth thousands of gold for King Touman. The first pot of flowers is called Lingzhi Jiahong, it has nothing special except for the beauty of its birth, but it is the favorite of the golden and silver blood snake, the gold and silver blood snake likes to nest in its roots, and the golden and silver blood snake will wrap around its roots when hibernating, and if you don't look carefully, you will think that it is the rhizome of the plant.

The second pot is the pot of flowers that scatter highly poisonous blue smoke, called the Ghost Night Orchid. This is a kind of strange poisonous plant recorded in the Poison Sutra, which is ranked by the author of the Poison Sutra as one of the top ten poisons in the world, its original species only grows on the coast of the East China Sea, according to the author of the Poison Sutra, this thing has long been extinct, but this is difficult to Ding Peng, he can redeem it from the system, but it is just to spend some contribution points.

As the name suggests, this is a devil's flower that should only bloom quietly at night, and this flower is usually non-poisonous, but only under certain circumstances will it be highly poisonous, that is, the noon sun.

If the Ghost Night Orchid is illuminated by the midday sun, as long as it lasts for a certain period of time, its beautiful flowers will transform into highly poisonous things, emitting a poisonous smoke that smells and dies, which is the strange blue smoke.

The poison of blue smoke is very terrifying, but it is a seemingly harmless flower scatter, which makes people unguardable, only with this trick, the conspirator is nine out of ten, but Ding Peng is also worried about not being safe, and added a second plan, which is to send the golden crown snake.

The golden-crowned snake is hypnotized with drugs, and then hidden in the root of the spirit fat garred root, this is the first step, after successfully blending into the main hall, the second step is to let the golden-crowned snake identify the target attack, this is the most important and critical step.

In order to achieve this purpose, Ding Peng brutally killed the golden-crowned snake's companion, the silver-crowned snake, took its venom gland into medicine, and then asked Yu Shi to arrange for his cronies in the palace to try to apply a little medicinal powder to Touman's royal robe, so that Touman's body will emit a kind of breath that humans can't smell at all, but this breath is very sensitive to the golden-crowned snake.

After the spirit fat Jiahong moved into the central hall, the golden-crowned snake gradually woke up from dormancy in the attraction of the breath, the golden-silver blood snake has always been male and female, the golden-crowned snake lost its partner and was naturally extremely anxious, after breaking through the ground, directly followed the breath to find the head man.

Then the smell of the venom glands of the female snake on Touman's body made the golden-crowned snake go crazy directly, directly attacking Touman, at this time, don't say that Touman was stunned by the misty fragrance and the ghost Yelan, even if he was awake, even if he was protected by guards, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape the revenge of the golden-crowned snake.

Gold and silver blood snakes are poisonous and domineering, their most powerful point is that they are very fast, especially when attacking, ordinary people can only see a residual image, the body has been bitten, if they are bent on revenge, regardless of their own safety, even if they are masters of the rivers and lakes, they will be hit if they are not careful.

This can be said to be Ding Peng's nirvana arranged for Touman, the first set of plans, although the ghost night orchid is poisonous, but the space covered by the smoke is too large, Ding Peng is worried that the concentration is not enough to cause death, plus the golden crown snake This set of plans, it is foolproof.

The two sets of plans worked together seamlessly, killing people silently for a moment, and everything that happened here was quiet, until the blue smoke slowly dissipated, and the guards in the outer hall were still yawning, not knowing that there was an earth-shattering event inside.

......

About five miles away from the palace in a straight line is the magnificent Prime Minister's Mansion.

In a secret room in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ding Peng and Yu Shi were waiting for news here.

Yu Shi's expression was nervous and excited, and there was a hint of uneasiness, and he asked again: "How sure is the immortal master's plan?"

Ding Peng smiled and replied again: "Ninety percent, there is still one percent in heaven." ”

The same answer, the same question, Ding Peng has said the same thing for the third time, he understands Yu Shi's mood, this is a tense moment, but also an exciting moment, they are participating in a major event, a major event that is enough to change the course of the history of Loulan and even the Western Regions.

Yu Shi listened to the same answer and smiled bitterly: "Why didn't the immortal master lie to me, if the immortal master said that he was ten percent sure, I might not be so restless." ”

"Fidgeting is a good thing, it allows the prime minister to focus all his energy on this matter, which is conducive to the success of the operation. If one is too complacent about one thing, it is easy for people to slack off, and when the will of heaven changes, things that could have been successful will not go well. ”

Yu Shi nodded, squeezing out a smile: "The words of the immortal master are very reasonable. If we succeed this time, the king will die in his pride, he thinks that everything is under control, but unfortunately everything has long changed, he will not think that I will betray the obedient people, nor will he think that there are many people in the palace who think he is loyal to me. ”

Ding Peng said lightly: "The prime minister is far-sighted, and the defeat of Touman is the will of heaven. ”

Yu Shi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, if the big thing is done, it is all the credit of the immortal master's strategy, if there is no immortal master's magic power to cast a spell, even if the minister has a few eyes and ears in the palace, how can he move the king?"

Speaking of this, Yu Shi's face was worried again, and he asked hesitantly, "Can the Immortal Master's arrangement really work?"

Ding Peng had roughly told him about his assassination plan before, but some joints did not explain it thoroughly, but only made him believe that he had a way to drive poisonous insects and leopards, and as long as certain conditions were created, he could kill people invisibly.

For this, Yu Shi still believes very much, because these days he has seen the power of Ding Peng's portable condor, the big and unspoken body type, the spirituality that can communicate directly with people, and the sharp claws and sharp mouth of the tiger and leopard, all of which show that the immortal master in front of him does have the magic power of enslaving beasts and insects.

It's just that he is still a little uneasy and a little anxious, just because what he has to do this time is too big, and it has far exceeded his ability and ambition, if it weren't for Ding Peng's explicit or covert promotion and support, he might not have been able to betray at all.

Ding Peng understood his mood, but he was already impatient, and frowned: "Since this seat dares to agree to the prime minister, he is naturally completely sure." The prime minister's only concern should be those unruly generals in the army. ”

Ding Peng's last sentence said to Yu Shi's self-confidence, only to see him smile, swept away his previous sorrows, and said smugly: "Don't worry about this immortal master, it's not the minister's boasting, the soldiers in this city are now in the hands of the minister, even if the king is lucky enough not to die, we also have the strength to fight." ”

Yu Shi is not bragging, Ding Peng was really worried at this point, but when discussing this operation with Yu Shi, the cunning Yu Shi finally gave up, it turned out that he had already made proper arrangements.

Don't look at Touman's urgent promotion and removal of some generals, but there are at least half of the city's troops in the hands of the time, what Touman never imagined is that the few young generals he temporarily promoted are actually two people from the time.

Yu Shi was old and cunning, and he had already thought that his power would be too great for fear of causing the king to be jealous, so he deliberately cultivated a few officials and generals who deliberately opposed him, these people did not deal with him on the surface, but in fact they were all allies of Yu Shi, Touman was eager to make up for the control of the army after An Guilie's death, and wanted to restrict Yu Shi's power, so he promoted these people, but it was in the hands of Yu Shi.

After hearing Yu Shi's confession, Ding Peng was impressed by him, this traitor is not as greedy for life and afraid of death as he seems to be, cowardly and incompetent, not to mention his ability in political affairs, just say that this time even Touman coaxed the trick of hiding the sky and crossing the sea, it is not something that ordinary people can come up with, even if some people want to figure it out, when they really implement it, they will mess things up because of such and such loopholes, and Yu Shi not only took precautions, but also successfully concealed the king and achieved his own goals, this person must not be underestimated.

With the guarantee of the army, Ding Peng is naturally more assured, there are two main parts of the military strength of the mud city, one part is the army defending the city, and the other is the army stationed in the palace, so the first part is basically mastered, as for the palace army, no one can mobilize except the king, but they are not a big problem.

As long as Ding Peng's assassination operation is completed, the palace will be in chaos, the dragons will be gone, and the palace army will be in chaos without a fight, and only a part of the recalcitrant soldiers will be faced at that time, and it will not be too difficult to take them down.

Therefore, in the final analysis, it is still possible to kill Tou Man, and Tou Man's death is the key to this operation, so Yu Shi was uneasy and repeatedly asked Ding Peng about the success of the operation.
