"Old General, wake up. Old general, wake up. "The shouting of the door of the cell next door woke me from my sleep.

He Xuanya also sat up from the straw mat and asked, "Who is arguing?"

I looked outside and saw that Lei Qianshen, the cell guard, was lying on Chongyu's cell door screaming.

Chongyu got up and asked, "Early in the morning, something happened." ”

Lei Qianshen said: "The king has agreed to change the crown prince. ”

"What?" Chongyu exclaimed.

"The king has decided to appoint Chonglu as the crown prince, not only that, but he also wants to Zen in Chonglu, and three days later he will hold a Zen throne ceremony. Lei Qianshen said.

"Zen Throne Ceremony? My Huandou clan has never had a Zen position since entering the secret world for thousands of years. Where is this Zen ceremony held?" Chongyu asked.

"I heard that it was held in the Chongji Hall on the side of the mountain table of the palace, and it was necessary to convene officials at all levels in the capital and local feudal officials to watch the ceremony together. Lei Qianshen said.

Chongyu shook his head and said, "There must be something strange about this, I think, it's not that simple." No matter how foolish the king is, he will not do such a thing. Isn't this tantamount to handing over the power of the entire clan to Chonggang? Although the king is now detained, Chonggang does not dare to blatantly do something rebellious. At most, it is to hold the king to his own weight. Once the Great King Chan is located in Chonglu, Chonglu will inevitably become his puppet, and he will become the king of kings. At that time, it was even more difficult to bring him down. ”

Lei Qianshen said: "Who says it's not, now people in the capital who have a little idea of injustice are worried. It is said that the Huandou clan is going to end. ”

"Chonggang must not be allowed to succeed, we have to find a way to stop this Zen position. Chongyu said in a firm tone.

"General, look, what are we going to do. Lei Qianshen said.

Chongyu thought for a moment and said, "You go and inform everyone that you will come here for a meeting tonight when it gets dark outside." We will discuss countermeasures together. ”

Lei Qianshen said yes and turned around to leave.

Chongyu stopped him again and said, "You wait first." Now is an extraordinary period, Chonggang is about to get what he dreams of, and he will definitely strengthen the vigilance in the capital. The Cone Gate Trail is the main road leading to the Jongmyo Temple, and it is inevitable that we will be more cautious and vigilant, and we will not be able to temporarily replace the guarding General Mazong. If someone else is changed, it will be dangerous for all the fellow people who enter and leave the mountain. In my opinion, this time we will change the meeting place to the Hanging Heaven. Let them rush from the bottom to Jianbi Lake, and then climb up the rock to the mountain pass, and I will fly there from outside the mountain to meet them. Remember, don't let them use the carriage and horses, just work hard and fly away, otherwise you won't be able to arrive in time. The time is scheduled for the hour. ”

After hearing this, Lei Qianshen hurriedly walked out.

I thought to myself, King Huandou has been detained in the temple for so long, and he has not compromised, and he decided to take the Zen throne as soon as we delivered the letter yesterday, which may have something to do with the letter we sent.

At this time, He Xuanya asked softly: "Xiao Yuan, do you say that the matter of King Huandou's Zen throne has anything to do with the letter sent by General Liao Mi?"

I said, "I'm thinking about that, too." Eighty percent have something to do with this letter. ”

He Xuanya said: "But it doesn't make sense logically. General Shi sent superstitions to King Huandou, which should be to oppose Chonggang. But as General Chong said just now, King Huandou gave up the throne to Chonglu, isn't it equivalent to handing over power to Chonggang. In the future, it will be even more difficult to fight against Chonggang. ”

When He Xuanya said this, my heart suddenly lit up and an idea was born.

"In this way, General Shi and they may launch a deadly counterattack against Chonggang before the Zen throne. I said.

He Xuanya was silent for a while and then said: "General Shi is far away in the Three Realms Ridge, and General Long died in Danshui City, and now there is only Liao Mi alone in the capital, where can this deadly counterattack come from." ”

"It's not good, General Liao Mi once said that he wants to 'exchange the death of one person for the fall of evil', is he going to take the opportunity of holding a ceremony to assassinate Chonggang. I snapped up and shouted.

"What are you muttering?" Chongyu asked in the opposite cell, hearing my cry.

"Oh no, old general, oh no, Chong Lao, General Liao Mi's life will be in danger. I ran to the fence of the cell and said to Chongyu.

"Liao Mi, what's wrong with him?" Chongyu asked.

"He's going to assassinate Chonggang. I said.

Chongyu didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I should have thought of it a long time ago." He deliberately lurked around Chonggang, but now it seems that he is not trying to spy on secrets, because even if he can find any secrets of Chonggang, it is useless to Longjian Showa Shibian who is far away in the sky. The only purpose was to do it to Chonggang himself. You just sent a letter to the king yesterday, and the king announced that he wanted to take the Zen throne, and it seems that the two of them had already arranged it. ”

Chongyu paced in the prison, and exclaimed: "I can't imagine that there are such strong and righteous people in my Huandou clan who sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths, which is really admirable." ”

Suddenly, he stopped and said in a firm tone: "Such a person must not be allowed to die in vain." ”

I asked strangely: "General Liao Mi, and perhaps the two marshals of Longshi, have carefully planned all this, and now the development of the situation should also evolve in the direction they envisioned, and General Liao Mi will be able to get what he wants and eliminate harm for the people immediately." If General Liao made a move at the Chan Rang ceremony and killed Chonggang, he asked King Huandou to come out to preside over the situation and complain to everyone about the evil of Chonggang. Although General Liao's move is risky, the odds of victory are also very high, how can he be sent to death in vain. ”

Chongyu said: "You don't know anything! Chonggang is an extremely cautious person, when I was an official in the same dynasty with him, he secretly trained more than a dozen crossbowmen for his own personal safety, these crossbowmen are not only superb in bow and crossbow skills, can shoot through double flying bats in a thousand steps, and all have a light skill, come and go without a trace, ordinary people can not follow their traces.

"Every time Chonggang traveled, he let these dozen crossbowmen secretly accompany him dozens of feet away, and when someone assassinated, the assassin was wiped out by these crossbowmen before he could get to Chonggang's side.

Now that he wields great power and fame, he knows that there are thousands of people in his clan who want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and he should be more concerned about his own safety. I think these crossbowmen are still serving him, and they're probably going to be even more protected than they were before.

This is why Chonggang is so relieved to keep Liao Mi by his side, because he is not worried that someone will pose a threat to his safety at all.

"What's more, Liao Mi has just 'taken refuge' in Chonggang, and it is difficult to say whether Chonggang really trusts him.

"This matter, don't talk about you, even the current Chinese martial arts, including Chonggang's henchmen, may not know, let alone Shi Bian, Long Jianzhao and Liao Mi.

"So if this Zen concession was really arranged by the three of them, and Liao Mi really wanted to assassinate Chonggang at the ceremony, then he would definitely not succeed, and he would definitely die. In addition to this, it will exacerbate the current situation. Chonggang will inevitably frantically eradicate dissidents without fear and accelerate the pace of usurpation, and the king will also face great danger. ”

When the four of us heard this, we all broke out in a cold sweat.

He Xuanya asked, "Then what should I do now, can I stop Liao Mi's action?"

Chongyu said: "Even if Liao Mi's action is stopped, no one will be able to send news to him in the temple, and the ceremony will still be held as scheduled." ”

I said, "Didn't you just say that General Liao Mi could not be sent to death in vain? ”

Chongyu said, "I'll see it after I discuss it with everyone tonight." Don't worry, I believe that God will bless my Huandou clan, and I will not let the traitors continue to act recklessly. ”

I said, "Then we look forward to bringing back good news from you tonight." If the four of us need to help, we refuse to refuse. ”

Chongyu said movingly: "I thank a few people again. You are so concerned about the affairs of my Huandou clan, far more than many people of my own clan, it is really heartfelt. ”

I said, "We are also infected by so many loyal and courageous people of the Huandou clan, and it is also an honor for several of us if we can do our best." ”

Chongyu said: "In the past few days, I have been bound by complicated things, and I haven't consulted a few big names, and I don't know where I come from in the world and what family I come from. ”

I smiled and said, "We come from a small village 100 miles northeast of the secret forest where the Dry Devil people live, and we are all children of ordinary peasant families. Nowadays, there is no such thing as a family in the world, and there is no hierarchy between people, and they are all equal. My name is Gao Xiaoyuan. This is called He Xuanya. This is Zhiyong, who has suffered from throat disease since he was a child and cannot speak. His name is White Sailor, and he is ......"

"Ahem, ahem. He Xuanya coughed twice, interrupting me.

I glanced at He Xuanya and said, "Sister Xiaoya, your throat is uncomfortable? I want to say that the sailor is a good student." ”

"Hahahaha......" Chongyu laughed.

We didn't know what to mean, and we all looked at him in amazement.

"It seems that you still can't trust me," Chongyu said, "but it doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'll have someone ask you about your origins." ”

I thought to myself, he's lying to us. I didn't make a sound.

He Xuanya didn't say anything.

"Well," Chongyu continued, "I have a good horse in my hand, and I can reach the border of the Drought Fish in one day, and I can reach the Eighty-One Mountains of the Drought Fish in three or four days." ”

"How did you know we were going to the Drylands?" asked the sailor eagerly.

"Look, look, there's finally one of them that I've tricked me out. Chongyu said with a smile.

I thought to myself, he really wanted to lie to us. He hurriedly relieved the sailors and said: "Sailor, you don't know where you read some absurd idle books, so you have to pull us out to explore the secrets." Along the way, we almost took our lives, and now in the Huandou clan, we are still in prison, and I don't know if we can escape, what are you still thinking about going to the Huandou clan. I see, if you don't die this time, let's go home and study hard, and don't continue to take risks. ”

Chongyu smiled and said, "Act, keep acting, I'll see how many more you can play." ”

The four of us looked at him in unison, and my mouth opened wide in surprise.
