》》》》》》》》》》》》》 author's note:

The candlelight in a large mansion in the northern city of Anxi was dim, as if it was sad about the cold of the middle of the night in early spring.

The big mansion is called Jian Fu, and there are dark sentinels all around, as long as there are living people approaching, they will be killed immediately. Such a tight defense is unique today. Because there was a special person living in it.

Suddenly, a night cat climbed up the dead branch beside the house wall, and before it could stand on its feet, an arrow in the darkness pierced the silent night sky and galloped forward, and the night cat fell from the branch with a heart-rending scream.

At this time, in the lobby of the house, a middle-aged man with a particularly heavy fat powder taste and a fancy meal smiled in a shrill voice: "Good job, as long as Liu Bei and He Jin turn against each other, we will be profitable." ”

The middle-aged man's eyebrows were all white, he had no beard, and his long black hair was draped over his shoulders like a waterfall. The skin is white and smooth, and her movements are as elegant as a woman. Although it is a businessman's share, it can't hide the strong official tone.

He had nine righteous brothers, and they were called ten permanent servants inside and outside the court. They are deeply favored by Emperor Han Ling, as long as it is what Emperor Han Ling thinks in his heart, they can think of it; As long as Emperor Han Ling thought of something but couldn't do, they could take the initiative and work hard to do it. Therefore, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty regarded them as confidants, and all the ministers' advice about the Ten Standing Servants was regarded as ill-intentioned. So the ten permanent servants called for wind and rain in the court, and only one hand was in the sky.

And he is the eunuch Jian Shuo, the head of the ten permanent servants. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for eunuchs to take charge of the army, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has done something that has never been done before. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was worried that the power of his great general He Jin was too great, so he overrode public opinion and ordered the eunuch Jian Shuo to lead the military captain to take charge of the subordinate army, and be directly responsible to the emperor and not be controlled by He Jin. As a result, the ten permanent servants became more and more arrogant, not only controlling the court, but also preventing the courtiers from seeing Emperor Ling of Han, as if they had become the emperor of emperors.

The arrogant behavior of the ten permanent servants finally made He Jin unbearable, so he took advantage of Emperor Han Ling's serious illness to transfer troops to take over the guards of the palace in the name of protecting safety. Although the Ten Standing Servants would not be immediately defeated by He Jin because of the military power of the Si Li, the Ten Standing Servants without the support of Emperor Ling of Han were soon at a disadvantage and faced the danger of collapse. The officials who used to flatter the DPRK and China have all fallen to He Jin's side, and the current Ten Standing Servants are already isolated and helpless.

At the same time, He Jin colluded with his confidant ministers to change the edict of Lizhu without authorization, and changed the candidate for the crown prince appointed by Emperor Ling of Han from Liu Xie to Liu Bian. Liu Bian is the son of He Jin's sister He Meiren, and is only 14 years old. As long as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty collapsed and Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, He Jin could become an auxiliary minister and completely eradicate the ten permanent servants.

In the face of the crisis, the Ten Standing Servants and Emperor Han Ling's most trusted Zhongshan Festival King Wang Batian stole the holy decree and kept it by Wang Batian. The edict is gone, He Jin knows in his heart who did it, and those who dare to oppose him will not have a second choice except for the ten permanent servants and the party. So Wang Batian was imprisoned by He Jin under the pretext of excuse. But Wang Batian insisted that the loss of the holy decree had nothing to do with him, and He Jin, who had no evidence, tortured him, but there was still no result.

Seeing that he couldn't get the holy decree, He Jin followed the advice of Fu Zhu and let Liu Bei trick Wang Batian into knowing the hiding place of the holy decree. Although he had only seen Liu Bei once, with his knowledge and ability to recognize people, he had already seen Liu Bei translucent. Liu Bei was an imperial prince, and his upright personality made him not participate in anything harmful to the Han Dynasty. So he set up a plan and united Huang Chao, Huang Gai and others to set a trap to improve Liu Bei's trust in He Jin, and make Liu Bei the cusp of the Holy Decree incident, forcing Liu Bei to find the Holy Decree.

At the same time, Wang Batian was also accidentally killed by Gao Lan. As a result, the whereabouts of the Divine Decree were lost. Since the edict could not be imitated, He Jin wanted his nephew to become the prince smoothly, so he could only retrieve the edict. Since Liu Bei had been in contact with Wang Batian alone, He Jin had even more reason to believe that if anyone in the world could find the missing holy decree, then this person must be Liu Bei. So let the frustrated general plan and push everything on Liang Jidong and the county guard, in order to die without proof. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Liu Bei not only did not fall for it in Zhuocheng, but also saw through all the schemes. And this, He Jin and his group did not know. It is Liu Bei who calculates the plan.

The Ten Standing Servants and the gang didn't know about these things, but they only knew that Liu was entrusted by He Jin to find the holy decree that was collected by Wang Batian. Therefore, as the boss of the Ten Standing Attendants, Jian Shuo's secret without looking back came to Anxi and competed with He Jin for the holy decree. Because he didn't know where Wang Batian put the holy decree, and it was not without reason that He Jin asked Liu Bei to find the holy decree. Therefore, what he has to do now is to divide and let Liu Bei and He Jin have a bad relationship, so that Liu Bei will take refuge in himself. Then the decree will be in hand. Therefore, Jian Shuo has made a careful layout for this.

Zhang Rang, the second child who never touched alcohol, took a jar of wine and was ready to chat while drinking.

His phrase "well done" just now was exaggerating Zhang Rang. Jian Shuo's cautious personality for everything makes him want to know the details of all actions. So he instructed Zhang Rang: "Carefully talk about the process of action." ”

Zhang Rang took off the matching sword on his body and put it next to the desk, sat down and said: "Before the end of last night, I went to the outside of the shed that Jiang Dashun had temporarily built, and saw that their family was eating, so I killed them with a sword. After that, they searched the sheds and the ruins of the old houses. I couldn't find anything, so I sprinkled the prepared tung oil, lit a fire, and burned it all. ”

Jian Shuo exclaimed: "You set that rubble and ruins on fire?" ”

Zhang Rang replied excitedly: "Although He Jin and we have not found the holy decree, it is difficult to ensure that the holy decree is not in the rubble. If Liu Bei finds it and hands it over to He Jin, we will be in trouble. So if you don't do it, you just burn it out. If the holy purpose is inside, it burns just right. As long as they are not found by He Jin. ”

Jian Shuo nodded approvingly: "That's right." After destroying this holy decree, we have another secret weapon to use, and it will be different for He Jin. ”

Zhang Rang continued proudly: "After doing all this, I will return here. I didn't expect someone to follow me outside. I didn't know where he came from, so I let him into the courtyard. He was ghostly, and at first I thought he was He Jin's person, so he didn't do it. Later, he muttered to himself that he wanted to report to Liu Bei, and I would kill him. ”

"What? How can you kill with a sword again. Your swordsmanship is so special, if it is recognized by others, then won't our purpose of blaming Zhongshan Mansion be in vain? ”

"Big brother rest assured, there is no sword. I drowned him by pressing him into a water tank. Then he secretly went up to the city wall and threw the body into the moat, making it appear that he was committing suicide. ”

Jian Shuo said with a little reassurance: "That's fine." What is that person's identity? ”

"He is Liu Bei's newly invited guest, called Dai Bray, Liu Bei was the county magistrate in the county before he took office."

Sai Shuo said: "This is really a dangerous move, if Liu Bei knows about it, we will be in big trouble." It is okay to drown him, as long as Liu Bei is not allowed to link Dai Bray's death with Jiang Dashun's death, then Liu Bei will definitely suspect that Jiang Dashun's murder was committed by Zhongshan Mansion. Debre's death was an unexpected episode. ”

As he spoke, a dark shadow flashed into the lobby. "My lord, Liu Bei broke into King Xiao's mansion in the afternoon, and the rotten soil was killed."

Jian Shuo stood up in shock: "The secret of the Xiaowang Mansion was discovered by Liu Bei?" ”

The Shadow Man is called Defeated. He is one of the five killers of the Killer League. The five killers of the Killer League are defeated gold, broken wood, broken water, old fire, and rotten soil. Among the five people, the martial arts with the highest defeat were the highest, and the rotten soil with the lowest number of people killed today. The five are from different states and counties, but they are like brothers and sisters, and promise to live and die together.

Defeated Jin was stunned. The five brothers have worked hard for Jian Shuo for more than ten years, but Jian Shuo doesn't care about their life or death at all, Jian Shuo cares about the secrets of the Xiaowang Mansion, and their brothers' lives are not worth caring about.

Defeated Jin said distractedly: "My lord, please rest assured, Liu Bei is still reluctant." ”

Jian Shuo said angrily: "If you don't know today, you may know everything tomorrow." ”

Zhang Rang persuaded: "The boss is angry, and listen to the ins and outs of the defeated Jin to explain clearly." ”

Jian Shuo sat down. "Slowly start from the beginning."

"This afternoon, the subordinates and the remnants were about to transport the body of the county Cheng Yang Yongtai to Zhongshan Mansion for the funeral according to the plan, when they suddenly heard someone outside the hospital. Remnant Wood went to the front yard to investigate, but was met by a black-faced murderer. In a hurry, I hid the two hostages, and took the opportunity to hide the dead wood and Yang Yongtai's corpses. ”

Zhang Rang shouted: "The black face you said is called Zhang Fei, he is brave and brave, and he will never go down to the first rank of the sixth stage." ”

Jian Shuo asked, "How did Liu Bei go to the Xiaowang Mansion?" Doesn't he believe that the house is haunted? Or did you not do it realistically enough before to arouse the suspicion of others? ”

Defeated Jin immediately knelt down: "One of the people who came with Liu Bei came to the Xiaowang Mansion twice last year, and I believe he brought Liu Bei here." ”

Jian Shuo said angrily: "Find out the details of that person." I'm going to make him pay. Without further ado, you go immediately. ”

Defeated gold bowed down and wanted to retreat.

Jian Shuo hurriedly said: "Slow down, pay attention to those two live mouths, they are the biggest bargaining chips in our hands against Liu Bei." ”

"Yes!" Defeated Jin bowed and retreated

Zhang Rang said: "Boss, now that the matter of Yang Yongtai in the county has happened, do you want to change your plan?"

Jian Shuo thought for a while. "The plan remains the same, but there is one more."

Zhang Rang opened his mouth to ask, and Jian Shuo whispered. Finally, he said, "You go and plan for the next step." Don't make any more mistakes. ”

Zhang Rang said: "Although my brother is relieved, Zhongshan Mansion is in big trouble this time." After saying that, he laughed and walked out of the lobby with his sword.

Jian Shuo glanced at Zhao Jiu in front of the banquet and said, "Iceberg Flame." ”
