Hongshi's plan was a great success.

First of all, he used the power of Xia Zi's acting head to mobilize fifty of the most elite samurai ninjas in Wenhui to gather in Nan Rank.

This is a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, use the strength to fight, and kill two birds with one stone.

First, everyone knew that he was hostile to the Wa Kingdom, and no matter how he investigated it afterwards, he would never suspect that he was the one who instigated the assassination from the Fuso samurai.

Second, of course, he would not spare the life of the ninja, so Xia Zi gave the order for a suicide attack.

In this battle, the fifty elite ninjas were all wiped out, and none of them survived, and although the Imperial Forest Army paid the price of nearly 200 dead and wounded, Dongying's power in Wenhui was severely damaged after the destruction of the samurai regiment that Matsushita wanted to ride.

Third, it will directly lead to the death of the eldest prince Hongjian, and the competing political enemies will go to one of them, and this account will be counted on the head of Dongying, which can arouse the hatred of the whole country and lay the foundation for the subsequent war against the Japanese country.

Secondly, he expected that the old emperor should meet with the envoy of the Heng Dynasty with reason, so he bought the palace attendants with a lot of money to find out the time and place in advance.

This is an opportunity to anticipate the enemy, as well as a victory for intelligence and money.

As the commander in chief of the army, Hong Shi naturally knows the importance of information, and he did not have a powerful eyes and ears in the palace before, but it does not prevent the use of money to buy and destroy the mouth afterwards.

Then, through Xia Zi, he ordered the ninjas to secretly dig a secret passage from a private house near the palace to lead to the palace banquet hall, and surveyed the terrain in advance, and made careful plans and arrangements for how to hide and raid.

This is the practice of making the best use of people, surprises, and winning more with less, taking advantage of the tight guards on the ground of the palace, but the protection is not as comprehensive as the imperial officials, giving full play to the advantages of ninja versatility and being good at lurking assassination, and launching attacks from weak places underground.

At the same time, in the course of the operation, the intention of striking at the west with more and fighting less with more was fully implemented.

First, they sent people to block the gate, forming a local numerical advantage in a short period of time.

Then it was the first to attack Zhao Lingyu. If successful, the envoy would die in Wen, which would destroy the alliance between the two countries, and if it didn't succeed, it could also distract the guards and their defenses.

In reality, Zhao Lingyu's guards were killed and wounded, and if it weren't for Dai Luosi by his side, Zhao Lingyu would not have been spared.

After that, it was to concentrate on the assassination of the old emperor, not for success, but to disrupt the situation, attract forbidden troops, and create favorable conditions for the attack on Hongjian.

In the end, except for Hongjian's personal guards, no one paid attention to and guarded Hongjian by the Imperial Forest Army who came in, causing the eldest prince to die under the desperate siege of many ninjutsu masters.

Another point, Hong Shi himself actively escorted him, and pretended to be injured in the fight, earning enough impression points in front of the old emperor and courtiers.

In addition, there is an unexpected gain, the old emperor's physical condition deteriorated sharply after being frightened, once there is a trend of death, the eldest prince is dead, the third prince is dead, the eighth prince is abolished, and the remaining six princes are only Hong Shi can be of great use, plus the support of the Queen Mother and the echo of the military and the officials who are said to be moved, Hong Shi will take the throne and even ascend the throne.

Late that night, in the water pavilion of the palace, Hong Shi, who helped deal with the aftermath of the assassination and returned to the house to recuperate under the pretext of being injured, told Hualan Court the details of the above plan.

Hua Lanting and Hongshi touched their glasses with Xia Zi, drank all the wine in the cup, and sighed in their hearts.

Encountering Hongshi and helping him to ascend to the throne was an accidental act of pushing the boat down the river, and I didn't want Hongshi to have a ravine in his chest, so he could have this plan in a short time.

In particular, the hand of digging tunnels enabled fifty assassins to complete the assassination task under the protection of thousands of imperial forest troops.

However, Hua Lanting was also very afraid, his failure to participate in this almost caused Zhao Lingyu's incense to disappear.

He couldn't figure out his position, it was said that Zhao Lingyu and Dai Luosi were hostile to him, and if the two daughters died, it would only be good for the Dust Dynasty, and he seemed to care about their safety.

was emotional, Xia Zi knelt with a wine jug in his hand and moved over, and filled it again for the three of them, Hua Lanting drank it casually, and was stunned for a while, and then asked Hong Shi:

"In less than three days, when Hong Ye's skin turns blue and blue, it is the period of his death, and when the stepping stones are gone, how will the prince act in the future?"

Hong Shi's face suddenly became a little hideous, and he said word by word: "Of course, the bird is hidden, and the rabbit and the fox are sad." ”

"What?" Hua Lanting was startled, suddenly felt colic pain in the lower abdomen, dizziness in the brain, fatigue, and loss of internal strength!

It's not good! It's a sign of poisoning. Hua Lanting was just about to get up, there was a clicking sound from the seat, and the wrists and ankles had been buckled by the outstretched steel hoops, and they could not break free.

And Xia Zi beside her pounced, turned around in the air, and crashed into Hua Lanting's arms, both hands had already felt out a short sword from her thigh, and a sword pierced into her lower abdomen, and the short sword popped out of her abdomen again, and pierced into Hua Lanting's abdomen from her back!

Hua Lanting only had time to barely close his abdomen and shrink by half an inch, but the tip of the sword still entered the flesh and brought out blood.

Looking at Xia Zi, who immediately collapsed and died in his arms after being poisoned by seppuku, Hua Lanting understood, forced himself to stay awake, and looked at the opposite side: "Hongshi, you are despicable, you kill people so quickly!"

Hong Shi didn't answer, beckoned and retreated, and a team of palace guards appeared around him, including armored sergeants, holding knives and surrounding Hualan Ting.

Hua Lanting was in a hurry, his heart was cold, two kinds of poison entered the body, with his skills, he would not be poisoned to death, as long as he was given time, he could drive the poison and save himself, but now he couldn't move, and he could only be slaughtered.

Careless!

I thought that he was in the same camp as Hongshi for the time being, but he didn't expect him to be so vicious, and before the big thing finally succeeded, he actually killed himself and Xia Zi.

I don't want the tiger to fall in Pingyang tonight, so I have to die here.

I can't help but sigh in my heart: Hua Lan Ting, Hua Lan Ting, you still have more to do, although you know that people's hearts are unpredictable, more than poison, but because of the experience, the fortification is not enough, knowing that Hong Shi is wise, after embarking on the road of competing for the reserve, the mentality has become more and more deep and gloomy, or neglect to take precautions, so that he falls into calculations.

That's it, I can't die anyway, I will return to the west with my life, and return to the original world, which can be regarded as seeing the impermanence of human nature, and I have not experienced it in vain.

Looking at the guards with knives who were getting closer and closer, Hua Lanting felt sad and helpless, closing his eyes and waiting for death, this feeling was really not good.

Hongshi was also sweating in his palms at this time, and secretly said that he was lucky. He knew the strength of Hualan Garden, and this design was also very risky.

Xia Zi still had half a bottle of the medicine he had in his hand, which he put in the wine jug, which was a secret object in the palace and reversed the Qiankun pot, divided into two parts, and the wine flowing out of different holes was different.

They had been drinking normal wine, until the last time it was poisoned wine poured to Hua Lanting, and Hua Lanting was distracted at the time and didn't notice this detail, and then the seat restraint and Xia Zi's suicide seppuku poison sword finally made Hua Lanting fall into the dice.

He knew that the medicine was not a bloody throat seal, and he also put a crane top red on the short sword. Even so, Hong Shi was not sure that he would be able to poison Hua Lanting on the spot, but as long as he couldn't do it for a while, his guards and sergeants could end his life.

Seeing that it is about to be completed, no matter how high the martial arts are, it will not be able to defeat the scheming and resourcefulness, which is Hongshi's consistent understanding.

But he missed one thing, and few people in the world can calculate it accurately, and that is luck!

At the moment of desperation in Hualan Court, a masked man descended from the sky from the top of the water pavilion, a silver thin sword in his hand shook various balls of light, and the palace guards, including the heavily armored sergeants, were injured and fell down.

The person who came sent four fireballs in a row, burning the connection between the steel hoop and the seat at Hua Lanting's hands and feet, and while waving his sword to resist the guard's attack, he waited for the steel hoop to fall off, picked up Hua Lanting and left.

Hongshi was already furious, and tried his best to command his men to attack and pursue.

His own martial arts are not weak, but once he has the heart of King's Landing, he is unwilling to take the lead in danger as before, although he knows that he will face greater danger if he escapes Hualan Court, but he hesitates for a while and does not step forward in person.

With such a hesitation, the masked man threw out a few smoke bombs, killed several guards with a silver sword, and broke out of the palace with Hua Lanting, but the government army couldn't catch up.

Hua Lanting couldn't move but was still awake, as soon as he saw the familiar silver sword, light ball technique and smoke bomb, he knew that the person who came was Dai Luosi, the daughter of the Hun king, he didn't know the reason and didn't know how to face it for a while, so he simply pretended to be unconscious and let Dai Luosi escape with him.

This matter is thanks to Zhao Lingyu.

Zhao Lingyu is not proficient in martial arts, but she has a sensitive ability to smell since she was a child, but she will never forget any strange smell, and this ability is only known to her.

On the same day, when the warriors under the prince of the junior colonel military field were presented with martial arts, Zhao Lingyu recognized Hua Lanting.

She was silent at the time, and told Deluosi when she returned. Since then, Dai Luosi has disguised himself as a night to visit the palace of King Hongshi, and has not seen Hua Lanting in and out for several days, until today, he did not see it from afar, and then saw that the situation was wrong, so he killed in time to save Hua Lanting from escaping.

Out of the palace, Dai Luosi didn't dare to take Hua Lanting back to the palace, so she had to go through the alleys and walls, and arrived at a private residence that she had temporarily rented for the palace in the past few days.

When she entered the house and put down Hua Lanting, she saw that his face was like gold paper, and her breath was short, and her heart was anxious, knowing that Hua Lanting was poisoned, although she knew some medical skills, she couldn't judge the source of the poison under the pulse.

Dai Luosi touched Hua Lanting's hot forehead, and said to herself with a crying voice: "Stinky boy, bad guy, I didn't expect goodbye to be this case, tomorrow is someone's birthday, are you going to leave like this if you bully me?

Stomping his feet, he couldn't save himself, he had to go back to Zhao Lingyu first to find a way, it might be too late if it was too late, so he dodged out of the house.

In the palace, Zhao Lingyu was even more anxious than her when she heard what had happened, and after thinking about it for a while, she took the accompanying medical officer and several guards to follow Dai Luosi to the house.

Leaving outsiders to wait outside the house first, Zhao Lingyu and Dai Luosi went in to take a look, the bed in the house was empty, and there was no trace of Hualan Ting.

There was a note on the table, which was scribbled: The poison in it, I can't help it. The grace of saving lives will be reported later. Don't read it.

Dai Luosi slapped the table and said hatefully: "He is angry, he dares to lie to me! People saved him, but he refused to even see him! What do you mean by not reading? Auntie, did I miss him?"

Zhao Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Dai Luosi: "It's okay if the person is fine, he cultivates to the sky, and he won't suffer any more losses in the future, let's go back to find out the news first, and then make a plan." ”

Hua Lanting is not as good as Hong Shi, the medicine that made Hong Shi sleep all night and Heding Red were temporarily suppressed in his body with supreme internal force after Dai Luosi left, although it had an impact but did not hinder his action.

Or in the water pavilion of Yanping Palace, Hongshi sits alone.

In the shadows, Hua Lanting walked out slowly.

Hong Shi's face was pale and his hair was tight, and when he saw Hua Lanting, he smiled reluctantly, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit." ”

Hua Lanting sat opposite and said coldly, "You know I'll come back?"

Hong Shi drank the wine in front of him, and said dejectedly: "Since you have escaped with your fate, as long as you are not dead on the spot, the world is so big, where can I escape?

Hua Lanting was expressionless and nodded: "It's good that the prince knows." Why? Why are you in such a hurry? Before you die, let's have a good talk. ”

The two of them were not in a hurry at this time, Hongshi sighed in the sky, and said in a deep voice:

"Although I like Xia Zi very much, her identity can't be exposed, and the effect of a month of medicine is almost up, since it can't be controlled, and it's not my race, of course I can't let it go. ”

"As for you. Yes, we are temporary allies, you have helped me a lot, and you have saved me, but this is a personal friendship. ”

"And the state is a public instrument. You have a purpose for helping me, right? You want to exterminate the Japanese Invaders, that's no problem, although I don't know your exact identity, but I infer that you must be related to other dynasties, most likely the Dust Dynasty. ”

"You are not a native of the country, and I will never be of the same mind; and your martial arts are extremely high, I can't control it, let alone guard against it; you know what I'm doing in the struggle for the throne and the heir, and you hold my sore feet. ”

"The emperor is said to be alone, and he must hate everyone, and if he bows his head slightly, the crown will fall, and you told me. ”

"I was persuaded by you to embark on this path. Once the iron heart, the ass determines the head, and the emperor's mind is tricky, and he will consider the problem from the perspective of the safety of the throne and the society of the country. ”

"Now, I have no opponent among the princes, and the chances of ascending the throne as a prince are very high, but it is only a matter of time. ”

"So, although it is risky to remove you and Xia Zi now, it is better to be late than early, so that I can feel at ease, and everything can really be under my control, instead of worrying about other people's faces. ”

"While you really don't have more ideas, it may mean uncertainty and variability. ”

"Is that a good statement?"

Hua Lanting's fingers flicked the desktop: "As long as I want to, you will disappear from the world immediately, and Wang Tu's hegemony will be in vain." ”

"That's why I'm going to kill you quickly. ”

"However, if I die, it will be difficult for you to achieve your plans to deal with the Japanese and so on. ”

"So you're sure I won't dare to take your life?"

"It's not that you don't dare, it's not, it's not necessarily. ”

"So you're waiting here and taking a gamble?"

"Do I have any other choice? I didn't leave you with you just now, all I have left is my underwear, so I might as well gamble and gamble. ”

"Bet I have a concern and will be soft-hearted and compromised?"

"Engong is different from me, he has affection and a bottom line, and he is a great man who is for the country and the people. ”

"You're talking to me. In the past, it may have been, but after experiencing the scene just now, it is difficult to say. ”

"Then I accept my fate and am willing to gamble and lose. ”

"Is this a scoundrel?"

"It's better to die than to live. ”

"The prince will pay the price for what he did just now. ”

"You said, as long as you don't die, I can give some of it, and now you sit in the bank, and you have a good hand. ”

Hua Lanting raised his hand, and fear flashed in Hong Shi's eyes, but he couldn't help but dodge.

Hua Lanting slowly lowered his palm and bowed his head gently: "Lord Wang, you won this bet, I won't kill you." ”

"Expel the Dongying Wokou first, and watch the Central Plains beacon fire last. I don't need your empty mouth and white teeth to promise now, you are doing it, I am watching, if not, I will do it. ”

At this point, Hua said goodbye. Lord Wang, you can do it yourself. ”

Hua Lanting disappeared suddenly, leaving Hong Shi sweaty in his shirt, the night wind blowing, his front and back were cold, and he was paralyzed in the chair.

Out of the palace, Hua Lanting secretly scolded himself for not being hard-hearted enough, but he didn't regret it, after this twist and turn, Heng Chao and Wen Wei were not afraid even if they signed a contract, and Hongshi didn't dare not keep his promise.

The matter here is settled, and I should go to Zhongping, the capital of the Dust Dynasty, to take a look.

He had previously made appointments with Yuan Miao of Northern Kunlun, Wu Nian of Songmu Mountain Yiwei Zen Temple, and Tai Mianzi of the Sanqing Shandong Sea Sword Sect in Zhongping, so it was time to leave.

Since you want to go, you don't have to go to the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion to inquire about the news at Nanling's eyeline, everything will be decided according to the situation in Zhongping.

Only Zhao Lingyu and Dai Luosi are still tied here.

Thinking that Dai Luosi had called out the second son of Yue to Hongtu in the palace, it seemed that the two daughters had found out their identities. However, I will eventually return, so it's better not to get into too much emotion, because it will not benefit others or yourself.

At dawn, Dai Luosi, who had been unable to sleep for a long time, woke up again, got up and sat down next to the makeup case, and found that there was a piece of paper and a booklet on it.

She called Zhao Lingyu, Zhao Lingyu picked up the paper and saw that it read:

Yu and the two met in an accident, met unexpectedly, although the position is different,-for-tat, but the abrupt beauty, the presumptuous Yunying, is indeed not the intention, thinking often embarrassed.

The two of them are from noble backgrounds, and they are far more talented, but they are still interested in the fairy road, just waiting for the old things to be fateful, and they are intended to be prosperous in the world.

The world is impermanent, the family and country are not safe, the war is ruthless, and the real hope is to see each other indefinitely, and it is difficult to repay the crime of offense and the grace of saving lives.

In today's troubled times, the two of them are safe from the whole body, and they have left a book of practice methods, according to which they practice, or they can ensure their appearance and immortality, and they will live forever.

The past is the past, and it will eventually become the yellow flower of tomorrow, and the only thing that remains in my heart is the word unforgettable.

I would like to bow down here for the first hundred years, and wish Her Royal Highness the princess eternal longevity and happiness! Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is kind to herself, and she is blessed with longevity and health!

The inscription is: well-known does not have.

Zhao Lingyu stood for a long time, his expression was complicated, and he was silent, while Dai Luosi next to him drooped slightly, already in tears.

On the outskirts of Nan Lai City, in the morning light, Hua Lanting spit out a mouthful of blood stasis, and the poisonous wound had just healed, and after looking back at the direction of the palace for a long time, he turned around and galloped away in the northwest direction.
