Chapter 108: No last resort
"In fact, no matter whether the prince will lay out today, you will be assassinated and injured, because you have long known that there will be a killer to assassinate you today." Mo Bei slowly said the answer in his heart, "This killer is actually arranged by the prince. ”
Rong Sui hooked his lips shallowly, even though he was standing on the cusp of the storm at this moment, his warm and jade-like eyebrows still revealed a light and light meaning, as if he had isolated all the red dust and worldliness from the door of his heart, and he would not be stained with dust.
Seeing that he smiled lightly, Mo Bei knew that he was probably right, he thought for a moment, and then continued: "As the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches, the killer sent by King An and King Ning replaced the assassin arranged by the prince, and the killer arranged by the prince replaced the killer of King An and King Ning. In this way, the prince can not only design for them to fight, but also allow himself to leave Beiming and avoid its edge. ”
Speaking of this, a look of doubt appeared in Mo Bei's eyes, and he looked at Rong Sui in confusion and asked, "Could it be that the prince knew from the beginning that King An and King Ning would arrange for the assassin to assassinate at the banquet today?" ”
Rong Sui stared at Mobei, and his gentle gaze revealed a hint of approval, "You can guess most of them based on these clues alone, and presumably Aunt Liu will also feel relieved in the spirit of the sky." After he sighed, he changed the conversation, "But there is one place you guessed wrong, this killer was not arranged by me, the killer sent by King An and King Ning to assassinate officials has not been replaced, she is indeed the killer, but they can't imagine that the purpose of her coming here is not to assassinate, but to let me leave Beiming." ”
Mo Bei was stunned when he heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, in addition to a touch of surprise in his eyes, there was also a sense of confusion, he stared at Rong Sui like this, as if he was asking the reason.
Rong Sui took a deep look at him and broke the mystery for him: "Tianshu Pavilion is famous all over the world, and the killers in the pavilion are all over the four countries, if the buyer doesn't want to reveal his identity, he can spend more silver to connect in a way that does not meet, so that even if the killer is caught by mistake, he can ensure his own safety, and he doesn't have to worry about the killer betraying them." Since they were going to assassinate officials in the heavily guarded prince's mansion, how could King An and King Ning use a person who knew their identities to assassinate, and if the assassination failed, wouldn't they expose themselves? Then Tianshu Pavilion will naturally become their first choice. ”
Rong Sui's words made Mobei stunned, he looked at Rong Sui in a daze, his eyes were full of shock that could not be concealed, and after a while, the Adam's apple moved slowly: "The prince is saying that the killer is actually Emperor Jingren's person, and everything that happened today is from Emperor Jingren?" ”
Rong Sui slowly moved his gaze into the distance, and a smile gently opened at the corner of his eyes, "See a leaf falling and know the twilight of the year, see the ice in the bottle and know the cold of the world." Who else in this world but him? ”
Hearing Rong Sui's answer, Mobei breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and then a suspicion surged up in his heart again, and he said strangely: "Could it be that the prince has already discussed today's plan with Emperor Jingren?" But how do you do it? Since the prince sent out the banquet, it has only been a few days, one of you is in the north and the other is in the south, even if you use messengers or flying pigeons to pass the book, these few days are not enough to go back and forth between the north and the south, so how do you discuss all this? ”
Rong Sui smiled and shook his head, "Actually, we haven't discussed it at all, didn't he send a letter a few days ago?" The letter was telling me that he was going to do something. ”
"But Mobei has also read that letter, only a few numbers are written on the letter, and there is no mention of any strategies and schemes, but it is more like a letter of greetings, how did the prince know?"
The doubts in Mo Bei's heart accumulated more and more, and gradually filled into a cloud of mist, he seemed to be in a fog, a moment ago he thought he had found an exit, but when he approached, he found that the place that seemed to be an exit was still a fog.
Rong Sui picked up the tea cup on the side, but his eyes unconsciously stayed on the letterhead for a moment, and said, "Although there are only twelve words, I also roughly know what he means." At first, I didn't know when he would do it, but after I learned that the prince had invited these officials to the banquet, I expected that King An and King Ning would send people to disrupt the banquet, and then I knew that Su Jin would definitely make a move at this banquet to help me leave Beiming, so I accepted the prince's invitation. When the dancing girl appeared, I fully understood Su Jin's whole layout, which is why I would let her stab me without any scruples. ”
He took a leisurely sip of tea, his demeanor was still elegant and elegant, but there was a look of certainty between his eyebrows, "As for why he was able to arrange everything in just a few days, it is not difficult to guess." Su Jin has always been a one-step plan, thinking that before I received the letter, he had already laid out the situation, but he had been waiting for the opportunity. When King An and King Ning went to the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion to hire a killer to assassinate, Su Jin's men would naturally act with the plan he had arranged in advance. ”
"He's even counted that." After listening to Rong Sui, Mobei's heart was shocked again.
Seek no last resort, no wasted work. Emperor Jingren even calculated that King An and King Ning would go to Tianshu Pavilion to buy murderous assassins, and if he really had no last resort, his wisdom was really terrifying, no wonder the prince always had such a complicated expression whenever he mentioned him.
Mo Bei slowly exhaled a breath, calmed down his chaotic thoughts, and spoke again: "Emperor Jingren had long expected that the crown prince would pull you into the game, so he laid out this game in advance. The reason why the killer stabbed the Emei thorn into the prince's heart was because Emperor Jingren knew that the position of the prince's heart was a few inches higher than that of ordinary people, and not only would it not really hurt the prince, but it could also hide it from the prince, making him think that the killer really wanted to kill you. When the prince saw that she wanted to take the prince's life, even if he knew in his heart that there was something wrong with the assassin, he didn't dare to speak out, let alone let the prince have three longs and two shortcomings in his mansion, otherwise once it was thoroughly investigated, it would be difficult to escape the blame even if he was clever and clever. Therefore, the prince will definitely beat the gong and drum to ask the imperial doctor, which can not only show his deep love for the prince, but also take advantage of the situation to make this matter bigger. The reason why Emperor Jingren chose to use the cold dream for a thousand nights was to make the imperial doctors helpless, and in the end he could only hope for Beiluo Shimen, so that the prince could leave Beiming smoothly. ”
He paused, and seemed to find something a little incomprehensible, so he asked again, "But why didn't Emperor Jingren let that killer directly wipe the cold dream of a thousand nights on the weapon, and wait until you were injured to wipe it up?" If someone finds out, won't it be a failure? ”
"What if he intended for others to find out?"
