Chapter 27: The Caged Bird
"Jun, let's get out of here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info It's a trap. ā
The poison on Dongfang Jun's body has not been resolved, and it is not easy to use his vitality, so Nie Fei is holding him and walking back, speeding all the way. When he was about to descend the island and enter the water, there was a loud bang on the surface of the water, and a huge bubble rose out of the water.
In this bubble, there were five people.
It was Cao Song, and the four shadows: Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, and Ah Si.
The bubble cracked, and Cao Song and the other five fell directly on the water, blocking Nie Fei's way.
"Shizi, you had a tryst with the princess of Dongjiang on Lover's Island, and you also killed Wu Shizi who came to arrest the adulterer, do you want to abscond in fear of crime?"
Cao Song had a grim smile on his face.
Nie Fei and Dongfang Jun were deeply shocked.
This turned out to be a trap for blaming the blame, and it was designed early on, they didn't even see Wu Tao's face, but they were said to be murderers, and the sinister intentions were clearly revealed.
At this moment, Dongfang Jun understood the reason why Lin Xiu didn't kill him three years ago.
This has to start with the contradiction between the emperor and the king of Zhennan......
Thirty years ago, thirty years ago, when the previous dynasty was just overthrown, there were still a considerable number of people who were loyal to the previous dynasty, and these remnants took the royal orphans and hid in the 100,000 mountains of southern Xinjiang.
The emperor was so worried about this that he couldn't sleep at night, and deliberately assigned the king of Zhennan to be responsible for clearing these bandits, so he gave the king of Zhennan as a reward for southern Xinjiang.
The king of Zhennan really lived up to the emperor's high expectations, and it took more than ten years to finally wipe out all the bandits hidden in the 100,000 mountains of southern Xinjiang, and even the orphan of the royal family who was not yet an adult was hanged alive in front of everyone.
At this point, the former dynasty was completely ended.
For the emperor, this should have been a happy event to celebrate, but on the contrary, the emperor moved the thunderous rage.
Because, in the past ten years of Zhennan Wang's suppression of bandits, the bandits have been eliminated, but at the same time, they have also strengthened themselves, from more than 700,000 soldiers and horses at the beginning, to 3 million.
This is not the strength that a vassal king should have, although the other three kings also have a certain amount of troops, but the sum of the three is less than a Zhennan king.
But the wood has become a boat, even if the emperor is very dissatisfied, he has to compromise, give the king of Zhennan the greatest power and the highest status, and also give the golden plaque of the imperial pen inscription to appease the people.
Yongzhen Tiannan!
It is the content of the inscription on the gold plaque.
This is where the name of King Zhennan comes from.
But everyone knows that the emperor will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and sooner or later he will have to settle this account with the king of Zhennan.
In recent years, the emperor has made frequent moves, constantly suppressing the status and power of the king of Zhennan, for example, once there was no need to pay taxes, but now they have to pay a certain percentage;
Not long ago, they were even called for disarmament.
However, although the open and secret battles are becoming increasingly fierce, the two sides have not yet torn their faces and fought each other after all.
This is mainly because the king of Zhennan and the king of Dongjiang formed an alliance, one side is attacked, the other side will send troops to support, the emperor is not sure of victory, and does not dare to start a war rashly.
In the ruthless power struggle, the alliance between the king of Zhennan and the king of Dongjiang can be regarded as a group for warmth, after all, the two of them are both kings with foreign surnames and are not trusted by the emperor.
However, the revenge of killing the son is not shared with the sky, Dongfang Jun was framed as a murderer, which will inevitably make the king of Dongjiang and the king of Zhennan break up, and at that time, the king of Zhennan will be isolated, and the emperor will definitely send troops to level the Zhennan Wangfu and kill the Dongfang family, leaving no chickens and dogs......
"You didn't poison me three years ago, just because you wanted to use me to kill Wu Tao and destroy the alliance between Southern Xinjiang and Eastern Xinjiang. Now, asking me to die is the same goal, but the means have been replaced by planting. Ah Xiu, you really never have the slightest affection for me......"
After thinking about everything, Dongfang Jun showed a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and anger kept surging in his heart, how could he not be angry when he was designed and played with like this?
However, who is instructing Lin Xiu?
"Ah Jun, we were wrong from the beginning, there is no remnant of the previous dynasty at all, that is just our wishful thinking. ā
Hearing Cao Song's words, Nie Fei's heart was racing and he suddenly woke up.
"There are no remnants of the previous dynasty?"
Dongfang Jun frowned.
Nie Fei didn't rush to explain, but said to Cao Song: "Grandpa Cao, are you saying that what I said is right?"
Cao Song's face changed slightly, and he didn't answer and asked, "How did you come to the conclusion?"
Only then did Nie Fei express his speculation: "You have to set up this trap of planting blame, it is by no means something that can be done in ten days and half a month, this is at least a few months ago, we have already begun to plan and layout, and we have only been going all the way since we received the emperor's will, at best, it has only been about a month." In other words, the emperor's order for Ah Jun to escort me into Beijing was simply a well-designed bureau. And if this bureau is to succeed, it is necessary to lure Ah Jun to the side of Eastern Xinjiang. Thus, there was the attack of the first group of bandits. We mistakenly think that they are the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they have gone astray step by step, and they are deep in mud. ā
Cao Song did not express his position.
Dongfang Jun said: "If this is the case, then we must ensure that every link is foolproof, but how can my father-in-law explain it? If he hadn't let those three technicians go home, we wouldn't have been led to the Eastern Frontier side." ā
Nie Fei said with a solemn expression: "Of course, this can't just be a coincidence. Now it seems that your stepfather has betrayed you. betrayed your father-son relationship. What he says to you is a lie that deceives you. ā
Dongfang Jun's face sank, and everyone could see that he was very hit and in pain now.
After all, since he was a child, his father-in-law has always loved him, and he will run to confide in his father-in-law if he suffers any grievances. He loves his stepfather even more than his own biological father.
How painful is it to be betrayed by someone you love the most?
"You're very smart, Stygian. This is indeed the case. ā
Cao Song finally admitted.
Nie Fei said in a deep voice: "For today, you have secretly done a lot of homework in the past ten years in southern Xinjiang. Because this game is good, but if Ah Jun refuses to be led by your nose, there is nothing you can do. ā
Cao Song said proudly: "The art of war is cloudy, the siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top." During the ten years in southern Xinjiang, I monitored Dongfang Jun's every move and knew his temperament well. This game can be said to be tailor-made for him. So as not to make him suspicious, I even did not hesitate to quarrel with him when he was about to change his route to the eastern frontier. ā
He paused, and then said: "Having said that, when I set up this game, I almost expected everything, and the only thing I didn't expect was that you, Nie Fei, were friends with Dongfang Jun. This made my plans twist and turn several times, and I was at risk of being shattered at any time. Fortunately, I am a good chess player, and I finally didn't let you escape from the palm of my hand. ā
"We have always regarded you as fish on the chopping board, and we never thought that we would always be birds in your cage. This lesson, we have written down. ā
Nie Fei's expression was awe-inspiring, he could afford to win and lose.
"Write it down?!"
Cao Song sneered: "Do you think you still have a chance to live?"
