Chapter 270, poisoning and killing Wu Weihou
In the study, Zigan and Yan'er continued to discuss secretly.
After revealing all her thoughts, Yan'er nodded and said, "Brother Zigan, you are exactly the same as what my young lady said, and before I came, the young lady said the same thing." β
"What else did the young lady say?"
"Miss said that although Li Pengfei will not delve into the cause of Wu Weihou's death, but after Wu Weihou falls, Li Pengfei will definitely do something to you and get rid of you and replace you with his own henchmen, so Miss let us leave this place immediately after we succeed, so as not to be poisoned by Li Pengfei."
Zigan nodded and responded: "I also thought of this, Li Pengfei is black-hearted, after the death of Wu Weihou, he will be even more unscrupulous, and he will definitely cleanse the old people around Wu Weihou on a large scale, I must be the first to be eradicated." After we succeed, we need to leave the dangerous place immediately and return to the Tianwei Kingdom as soon as possible. β
Yan'er nodded, "Miss thinks so too, although Wu Weihou deserves to die, he is your protector, he falls, Li Pengfei will definitely be the first to move you, so after we succeed, we need to get out as soon as possible, the sooner the better." β
Zigan replied with a smile: "I can finally go back, I won't tell you, I have been living in this state pastoral mansion for many years, and I can't wait to return to you immediately, little girl, do you want me to come back?" β
Yan'er suddenly fell silent, and after a while, she said: "Brother Zigan, you are a very good man, I really don't feel worthy of you sometimes, have you ever thought that maybe I am not your ideal Taoist partner." β
Her words were clueless, and Zigan was startled.
He looked at Yan'er puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Yan'er, what are you talking nonsense, how can you not be worthy of me, being able to marry you is a blessing that I Jiang Zigan has cultivated for several lifetimes, why do you say that?" β
Yan'er smiled and replied calmly: "It's nothing, maybe we've been separated for too long, I'm having some gains and losses now, don't worry, I will definitely marry you, I still remember my vow." β
Zigan let out a sigh of relief, and complained with a smile: "Dead girl, scared me to death, I thought you had changed your mind!" β
Yan'er smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Three days later, an astonishing news came out of the state pastor's mansion in Yuyoucheng, and the state pastor was about to get married.
As soon as the news came out, the entire city was in a sensation, and many people were happy from the bottom of their hearts for the marriage of the state pastor.
And some people who know the details of Zigan are secretly sneering, just a puppet, what kind of big wedding, just marry secretly and live a life, and really use themselves as a dish.
Among these people was Li Pengfei, and when he learned the news, he sneered: "A grasshopper after the autumn, it won't be a few days old, and what kind of big wedding is there, it's really a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die." β
One of his staff members persuaded him: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be angry about this, he just wants to save face and give an explanation to his new daughter-in-law, and you don't have to take that clown to heart." β
Li Pengfei snorted and asked the man, "Wu Weihou's side, what is the reaction?" β
The staff replied: "According to the secret report, the young couple has already prepared to hold a family banquet to entertain Wu Weihou in the name of thanking their parents, and the latter has agreed to go to the banquet, but there is no special reaction to the rest." β
"Meet the parents?" Li Pengfei muttered, "Oh, by the way, that clown is still the nominal disciple of Wu Weihou, this thing that doesn't know what to do, he dares to get so close to him, it's really ignorant and fearless!" β
The staff flattered and said: "What the lord said is very true, after the defeat of Wu Weihou, the humble post suggests finding an excuse to get rid of that Zigan as soon as possible and replace it with our people, so that the adults can completely control Yuyouzhou." β
Li Pengfei nodded and secretly calculated.
Wu Weihou's mood is not bad, he has been bored for so many days, and today he finally got a rather happy news.
His nominal apprentice Gan is about to get married, and since he lost power, at his behest, Zigan has deliberately distanced himself from him, and has not come to visit him for a long time.
Although he took the initiative to ask for it, after a long time, the feeling of the tree falling apart still lingered in his heart.
Now that Zigan is getting married, the first thing that comes to mind is to set up a family banquet and thank him with his fiancΓ©e, which makes Wu Weihou very useful.
Wu Weihou felt in his heart that that kid still had a bit of a conscience, and he let him sit in that seat in vain, although he was just a puppet, but after all, he could enjoy the glory and wealth, and it was not something that anyone could sit on if they wanted to.
He didn't have the idea of being wary at all, first, Zigan had always been respectful and respectful in front of him, and there was no overstepping of the curve.
Second, he has lost power, and his performance in the recent period is like a well-behaved rabbit, which does not pose a threat to anyone, and there is no reason to be assassinated.
Third, if he falls, the first unlucky person is Zigan, and he can't think of a reason why Zigan can attack him.
Another day passed, Zigan and his wife set up a family banquet in the state governor's mansion, and formally invited Wu Weihou to the banquet, planning to pay homage to the old teacher in person, and Wu Weihou happily went to the banquet.
In the flower hall, a sumptuous banquet has already been prepared, Zigan and Yan'er, standing hand in hand at the door of the flower hall, ready to welcome the arrival of Wu Weihou.
Yan'er's palms slowly oozed sweat, Zigan shook her hand hard, smiled at her, and nodded gently.
With a light sigh, Yan'er also nodded at him, indicating that she had no problem and would not show any horses.
After waiting for a while, the housekeeper led Wu Weihou and appeared in the sight of the two.
Zigan pulled Yan'er to meet him quickly, and after seeing Wu Weihou, he knelt down in his clothes, kowtowed and said, "Disciple Zigan, see the teacher!" β
Yan'er also bowed down: "Little girl Xiao Yan'er, meet Wu Weihou!" β
Wu Weihou hurriedly helped the two of them up, looked Yan'er up and down, and smiled at Zigan: "This is the fiancΓ©e you think about day and night, she is really good-looking, no wonder you don't look down on those vulgar fans, it turns out that there are such beauties waiting for you." β
Yan'er blushed and squirmed and didn't dare to say anything.
Zigan replied respectfully: "What the teacher said is very true, I have a soft spot for Yan'er, so naturally I don't look down on those vulgar women, teacher, please, our family will get together today." β
Yan'er also hurriedly gave way to the house, and Wu Weihou smiled and strode into the flower hall.
After entering the house, Zigan and the others invited Wu Weihou to sit on the main seat, but Wu Weihou refused, Yan'er said earnestly: "Zigan has told me more than once that in Tianyuan Kingdom, Hou Ye is not only his master, but also his relatives, you are Zigan's teacher, that is, my Xiao Yan'er's teacher, and please take a seat, I also want to perform the junior ceremony and formally meet the elders." β
When Wu Weihou heard this, he felt that this girl was knowledgeable and reasonable, and thought that Zigan's vision was still good, so he excused himself a few words, and sat on the main seat with peace of mind.
Zigan picked up the wine jug on the table, poured wine for the three empty glasses on the table, picked up the wine glasses with both hands, and said to Wu Weihou: "Teacher, the disciple can't see you for many days, the disciple first salutes the teacher with a glass to apologize." β
When Wu Weihou poured wine from Zigan, he kept an eye on Zigan's movements, and after finding nothing abnormal, he picked up the wine glass with confidence, and after touching Zigan, the two of them drank all the wine in the cup, and Yan'er also drank a glass with him.
It's not that Wu Weihou doesn't believe them, but in the current situation, he has to be extra careful, for fear that if he doesn't pay attention, he will be secretly poisoned by Li Pengfei.
Although this Zigan is a good person, there is an accident in everything, what if he takes refuge in Li Pengfei and is ready to use his head as a vote?
Therefore, in case of trouble, there is no mistake in the end, no one can fully believe it.
Relatively speaking, Wu Weihou still trusts Zigan more, otherwise he would not have come to the banquet, but it is impossible to make him completely let down his guard.
The three of them began to talk about wine, but Wu Weihou was very careful, just drinking, and the delicious food on the table was not touched.
Moreover, he kept an eye on Zigan's movements, for fear of a trace of negligence.
Zigan and Yan'er were a little worried, Wu Weihou's vigilance made it difficult for them to start, and the means arranged in the dishes seemed to be difficult to take effect, and the only thing they could count on now was this wine jug.
This flask also has a hidden mechanism, there is a hidden compartment inside, the poison is hidden there, when operating, you only need to press the faucet on the handle of the pot, you can touch this mechanism, the poison will automatically fall into the wine, instantly fused with the wine, it is difficult for outsiders to detect.
However, Wu Weihou kept a close eye on Zigan's every move, so that the latter had no chance to make a move, just a little movement in your hand, there will definitely be something aware of it, once this happens, Zigan and the two will have no chance to start.
Zigan and Yan'er are both aware of the fact that there is only one chance to make a move, and a failure is a complete failure, and under the pressure, Zigan became more cautious and did not dare to act easily.
Yan'er was secretly anxious, this mission came from the young lady's trust, and it was related to the success or failure of Childe's trip.
After hesitating for a moment, he was relieved, "It seems that this is my fate." β
Without thinking about and weighing for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said to Zigan: "Brother Zigan, please let me toast the teacher to thank you for his kindness to you over the years." β
Zigan handed the wine jug to Yan'er, the two of them looked at each other, and Zigan immediately understood her plan, after all, they grew up together, and they couldn't be more familiar with each other.
After handing over the wine jug, Zigan knelt in front of Wu Weihou in his robe, and said earnestly: "Teacher, since the disciple has followed the teacher, he has always been observed by you, and the disciple has learned a lot from the teacher, and has always regarded the teacher as a teacher. β
Wu Weihou hurried to help him, but Zigan refused to get up.
"Teacher, the disciple always thinks that the teacher is the hero of the world, how can the teacher be bullied by the villain now, and the disciple is not worth it for the teacher. The teacher is now enduring humiliation, and the disciples are worried and afraid of the teacher all the time. β
Wu Weihou went to help him again, and comforted him: "I know your intentions, get up quickly, if you have anything to say, sit down and say." β
Zigan stood up and choked up: "Teacher, the disciple thinks that you can't continue to forbear, the disciple is here to show his heart to the teacher, if the teacher needs the disciple to do anything, the disciple will definitely help him, and he will never give up!" β
