Chapter 613: Killing Intent Decided
Today, except for Ling Xiaoxiao, no one has seen Zhao Yuan in Silk Village anymore, and even Liu Xunyi has not met Zhao Yuan.
This one-man meeting was actually carefully arranged by Liu Xunyi under the pressure of Zhao Yuan. One of the most important and guilt-making links for Liu Xunyi is to use Luo Ningyu's kindness and simplicity.
After returning to King Xian's Mansion, Liu Xunyi was summoned to the study by Luo Tianjin, intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about the details of Xiangyun Silk Village, Liu Xunyi pretended not to guess Luo Tianjin's thoughts, and honestly told everything he "saw with his own eyes".
Luo Tianjin learned that everything was as usual, so he didn't ask any more questions, and chatted with Liu Xunyi about the big wedding, and then let him retreat.
Interestingly, when Liu Xunyi left the study, he happened to meet Yeluqin and Xun Qin walking towards the study.
The three met head-on, Yeluqin took the initiative to greet him, Liu Xunyi returned the salute, but Xun Qin stared at him without saying a word, and there was a faint thought between his eyebrows.
The two passed by, and neither of them stopped for half a minute, like strangers, and they were extremely chic.
......
Another three days have passed, and the Xianwang Mansion is peaceful, and the geese are still nowhere to be found.
November 24, noon.
Zhao Yuan, accompanied by Shen Dongshan, visited Luo Tianjin for the third time.
Today, Zhao Yuan did not show the slightest abnormality in front of Luo Tianjin, and still spoke bitterly to Luo Tianjin, as he did the previous two times, and tried to persuade him to submit to the imperial court.
Of course, the result was the same as the previous two times, and was repeatedly rejected by Luo Tianjin.
The difference is that today's Zhao Yuan did not refuse Luo Tianjin's hospitality, but stayed with Shen Dongshan to accept Luo Tianjin's hospitality, which surprised Luo Tianjin.
However, accidents are accidents, but the number of etiquette cannot be lost. Luo Tianjin gave an order, and the Xianwang Mansion had a feast, the mountains and seas, the delicacies and wines, and all kinds of delicacies from Tiannan and Haibei, so that Zhao Yuan and Shen Dongshan feasted their mouths.
At the banquet, the cups were pushed and changed, and the chips were staggered, and the conversation and laughter were lively, hearty. Zhao Yuan didn't mention the matter of Zhao'an again, and he and Luo Tianjin drank happily, like brothers, eating and drinking very happily.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and before you know it, it is late at night.
At this time, most of the people were already drunk, Zhao Yuan and Shen Dongshan shook their heads and shook their heads, their steps staggered, and they were so drunk that they could hardly walk.
Seeing this, Luo Tianjin instructed Liu Xunyi to lead people to escort Zhao and Shen back to Danfeng Garden.
This move is exactly in Zhao Yuan's arms.
In the middle of the night, the streets of Luoyang City were empty and silent.
Liu Xunyi rode in front, Xu Heng and Ling Qing rode behind, and more than a dozen disciples of the lower three sects followed around the carriage, and the group was silent and slowly walked north, and there were bursts of snoring in the carriage from time to time.
"Willow ...... Liu Zhi Fan ......"
Suddenly, Zhao Yuan's hoarse voice sounded from inside the carriage. Liu Xunyi was startled, slowed down the rope, followed the carriage, and asked softly, "What do you command?"
"Is there any water?"
Hearing this, Xu Hengce immediately stepped forward and handed the water bag to Liu Xunyi, and then Liu Xunyi handed it to Zhao Yuan.
"No, no, no, my head is dizzy, my hands don't obey the call, I can't put it in my mouth at all......" Zhao Yuan's indistinct complaint came from inside the carriage, causing Xu Heng and Ling Qing to snicker.
"Liu Zhifan, you get in the car and help me carry the water bag. Zhao Yuan's voice sounded again.
"This ......"
"It's okay to get on the car with the black fan, you also drank a lot of wine tonight, and the wind is cold at night, and it is inevitable to get cold while riding a horse. Xu Heng said with concern, "We will guard the outside, and it will be fine." ”
"That's good!" Ling Qing said with a smile, "If Lord Zhao is thirsty, none of us can afford it." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter from the surrounding disciples.
"Okay! Brother Xu will go ahead to lead the way, Ling Qing will take the lead, and I will serve Lord Zhao. ”
Liu Xunyi looked helpless, hurriedly commanded a few words, and then jumped into the carriage.
Got into the carriage and saw Shen Dongshan lying in the corner sleeping soundly, but Zhao Yuan was sitting upright, not half drunk, but a cunning light appeared in his eyes.
"I ......"
"Shh
Before Liu Xunyi could speak, Zhao Yuan suddenly made a silent gesture, and then pointed his fingers at Shen Dongshan's neck, Shen Dongshan's head tilted, and he completely fainted.
Gently lifting the curtain of the carriage, Liu Xunyi saw that Xu Heng and Ling Qing were far away, and the disciples who followed the carriage were shivering from the cold, curling their heads one by one, jumping a few times from time to time, shivering incessantly, and had no intention of eavesdropping on the movement in the carriage.
"Master Hou, this is too risky. Liu Xunyi suppressed his voice and said in an almost inaudible voice, "In case someone finds out......
Zhao Yuan interrupted: "If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, Ben Hou would not have made such a decision. ”
"Yes! In the past, Master Hou was not in Luoyang City, but it was easy for me and Brother Qin to meet. Now that you are so close at hand, I dare not act rashly. ”
"Don't talk about this! Looking for clothes, Ben Hou has confirmed from Ling Xiaoxiao that Luo Tianjin does have the intention of rebellion. ”
"Shhh
Zhao Yuan's words made Liu Xunyi's spirit instantly become nervous, and he asked cautiously: "What does Master Hou mean......"
"Now it's not what I mean, it's what the court means. Zhao Yuan interrupted, "Prime Minister Zeng clearly warned me that if Luo Tianjin is stubborn and can't recruit An, Ben Hou can't entangle with him and delay time." If necessary, contingency measures can be taken. ”
"What is the contingency strategy?" Liu Xunyi was shocked, "What is the contingency strategy?"
"Get rid of Luo Tianjin, and then help you to take the position!"
"What ......"
Liu Xunyi almost exclaimed, but fortunately, Zhao Yuan covered his mouth and nose with his hand in time, so that the people outside did not notice the strangeness.
"Be quiet!" Zhao Yuanyuan glared at him and reminded righteously, "It's a big matter, how can you be allowed to shout." ”
"Get rid of Luo Tianjin...... Get rid of Luo Tianjin...... "Liu Xunyi repeated in disbelief, "Why did Master Hou never mention the 'contingency strategy' to me?" you only asked me to convince Luo Tianjin, but you ......"
"It's never too late to tell you. Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice, "What's more, Luo Tianjin is plotting to rebel and is a dead end, is there still a need to convince him now? ”
"But ......"
"No need!" Zhao Yuan didn't give Liu Xunyi a chance to argue at all, and cut the railroad categorically, "This is the decision of the imperial court, and there is no room for negotiation." Right now, you don't have to think about anything, just do what you are told. ”
"This ......"
The sudden change caught Liu Xunyi off guard, his mind was blank, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Ben Hou has reached an agreement with Ling Xiaoxiao. Zhao Yuan said quickly, "She is willing to help us deal with Luo Tianjin, and after the matter is completed, the head of Wudang will take over as the leader of the martial arts alliance, and call on the heroes to return to the imperial court." ”
Liu Xunyi panicked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Ling Xiaoxiao is cunning and vicious, how can Master Hou believe her promise?"
"You're right! Actually, Ben Hou didn't intend to believe her at all, I just wanted to use her to get rid of Luo Tianjin. I have secretly investigated the grievances and grievances of Ling Xiaoxiao, Luo Tianjin, and Xiao Zhirou, and I also understand why Ling Xiaoxiao hated from love to hatred, and insisted on putting Luo Tianjin to death. As for this, Zhao Yuan's eyes changed suddenly, staring at Liu Xunyi with deep meaning, and said with a smile, "And you have never mentioned these things to Ben Hou." ”
"This ......" Liu Xunyi was terrified in his heart, and he was speechless for a while.
"The plan remains the same, you still replace Luo Tianjin. Zhao Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's just that by using Ling Xiaoxiao, we can get twice the result with half the effort." ”
"How is this possible......"
"Of course it is possible! Luo Hongxuan is half dead, Luo Ningyu is a woman, as her husband, you are naturally qualified to inherit everything in the Xianwang Mansion. As long as the Xianwang Mansion supports you, with the reputation and prestige you have gained in the rivers and lakes in the past two years, it is enough to ascend to the top. Coupled with the secret help of the imperial court, the matter of recruiting peace will be a matter of course. As for the head of Wudang...... The imperial court would not trust an outsider. ”
At this moment, Liu Xunyi's heart was as chaotic as numbness, his head was as big as a fight, and he couldn't figure out whether Zhao Yuan's words were right or wrong?
"But...... Ling Xiaoxiao will never sit idly by......"
Ling Xiaoxiao is not worried. Zhao Yuanyin smiled fiercely and said in a low voice, "After the matter is completed, Ben Hou will find an opportunity to get rid of her." ”
"What?"
"Three days ago, Ben Hou had already rushed this matter to the imperial court for eight hundred miles, such as today, the master of the machine pavilion is on the way to Luoyang City. Zhao Yuan completely ignored Liu Xunyi's reaction, and said like a cannon, "This matter is already on the verge of an arrow, and it has to be sent." ”
"You...... I ......" Liu Xunyi's heart had already set off a storm, and it was inevitable that he would speak incoherently and lose every inch when he opened his mouth, "This matter ...... Wouldn't it be too anxious?"
What's more, the emperor only gave Dongfu a three-month deadline, and now it's half over, when do you want to wait?" Zhao Yuan retorted, "I know that Luo Tianjin treats you well, and if you want to kill him now, it will be difficult for you to accept it for a while, but the emperor's order cannot be violated, and it cannot be violated." Looking for clothes, don't forget your identity, you are the young protector of Tianji Pavilion, just follow Ben Hou's orders. As for the rest, you don't have to think about it. ”
"It seems that Hou Ye has already thought of the overall plan. Liu Xunyi muttered to himself, "I don't know...... When will you make a move to Luo Tianjin?"
"On the eighth day of the lunar month, the day of your wedding with Luo Ningyu. Zhao Yuan said in a condensed voice, "Only on that day, Luo Tianjin's vigilance was the smallest, and our plan was the easiest to succeed." ”
"Impossible!" Liu Xunyi shook his head resolutely, "On the day of the wedding, the heroes of the world gathered in the Xianwang Mansion, and the people of Tianji Pavilion alone couldn't control the scene at all. ”
"You don't have to worry about that. Zhao Yuan said confidently, "Ling Xiaoxiao will contain these external troubles for us." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Don't ask. Zhao Yuan waved his hand and said, "On the occasion of the martial arts factions coming to congratulate you, you will directly replace Luo Tianjin, and then take advantage of the situation to announce the emperor's grace and recruit the heroes of the world, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
"But ......" Seeing Zhao Yuan's displeasure, Liu Xunyi's words were swallowed back by him raw, and he swallowed, "Since Ling Xiaoxiao is helping in secret, what else do you use me for?"
"Don't be angry!" Zhao Yuan said, "Ling Xiaoxiao doesn't know your identity, and she will never become a member of the imperial court." Only you are the most trusted person in Benhou. Therefore, the most important part of the overall plan must be done by yourself. ”
"What Master Hou said is ......"
"On the day of your move, you have to try to transfer all the elites of the Xianwang Mansion and arrange for the masters of the Tianji Pavilion to enter the mansion and lurk. Then, lead Luo Tianjin to a secluded place alone, and our people will set up an ambush there in advance to send him on his last journey. ”
