After sending off the second prince and the king of Jin, Shi Guangying immediately asked a few people to return to the government office, and at this time, Wu Xiujing, who went to Yangping to deliver the news, also returned, and several people sat around the table and continued to discuss.

When discussing just now, King Jin targeted Tian Zhiyu everywhere, and looking at the performance of the second prince, he should also agree with King Jin.

In addition, today's misunderstanding of Tian Zhiyu has been completely eliminated, and Shi Guangying naturally regards Tian Zhiyu as his own now.

He asked Zhu Xiaoping to get a document, and Tian Zhiyu saw that it was Feng Sijing who entrusted him to give it to Shi Guangying.

He vaguely remembered that before Feng Sijing died, he was still talking about the conspiracy of the Beiyi people and the people of Shuguo against the Dongyang Kingdom, he didn't understand the situation at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that this sentence has a deep meaning.

Shi Guangying spoke first: "The current situation is already very clear, the people of Beiyi want to cause rain, and the second prince and the king of Jin will not agree to let Zhiyu go to Beiyi no matter what." They would rather kill Zhiyu than help the Beiyi people. Actually, I think this is probably one of Beiyi's conspiracy. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at everyone, and saw that Zhang Bin and Wu Xiujing did not react, and with a puzzled face, he said to Tian Zhiyu: "Zhiyu, can you understand?"

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "The Beiyi people think that I might help you make that weapon in large quantities, so either get me or get rid of me." And the best way to get rid of me is not for them to do it, but for you to do it. In the previous assassination in the Jin Palace, they did hold the hope of capturing me alive, but after the capture failed, they adopted the strategy of dignitaries. If you let me go to Beiyi, it's good, if you don't, because of their heavy troops, maybe you will consider killing me and letting Beiyi retreat, so that I can't help either side. I don't know if my guess is right, General Shi?"

Shi Guangying nodded, his eyes full of approval.

Zhang Bin and Wu Xiujing listened to Tian Zhiyu's words and immediately understood.

"The Beiyi people's abacus is really good, who came up with such a solution?" Wu Xiujing said.

Hearing this, Zhang Bin immediately remembered something, and said: "General Shi, General Zhu, the Han man who is in charge of negotiating for Beiyi today is called Qian Jingyuan, I always feel that this person has a problem, but I can't say where the problem is." This man is very intelligent and very eloquent, and I think this advice to kill two birds with one stone should come from him. ”

Shi Guangying thought about it, and there was no such person in his impression, and said: "There are many people in our Central Plains who have committed treason and defected to the Yiren, and these sour and rotten literati, once they have no ambition in the Central Plains, they will complain about the heavens and the people, forget their ancestors, go to the enemy country to make suggestions, and in turn slaughter the Central Plains people, these people deserve to die." ”

Zhu Xiaoping, who has always said little, said at this time: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's discuss the coping strategy, and see how to cause rain without going to Beiyi, and avoiding war." ”

Shi Guangying, who immediately regained his composure, handed the document left by Feng Sijing to Zhang Bin, and said, "This is a secret letter that General Feng desperately wants to keep," he looked at Tian Zhiyu again, and then said: "Of course, I am also very grateful to Zhiyu for his righteousness, and sent us the secret letter thousands of miles away." ”

He was surprised when he saw Zhang Bin and Wu Xiujing after reading the superstition, and said: "I was also very strange when I saw this letter at that time, and there were many questions at that time, why did Beiyi collude with Shuguo, and what was their purpose? Now I gradually figured it out little by little. ”

Tian Zhiyu saw Zhang Bin fold the secret letter, he thought that Zhang Bin would show it to him, but he didn't expect him to return it directly to Shi Guangying.

"To Yu, this secret letter contains a lot of secrets of our military, and it is inconvenient for you to show it for the time being. ”

Tian Zhiyu smiled and said, "It's okay General Shi, you just go on." ”

Shi Guangying nodded, and then said: "After obtaining the loyalty of the four banner lords, the Great Khan of Batu in Beiyi has more than just Beiyi, his ambition is very big, and it seems that his true purpose is to annex the four seas and encompass the United States. However, his first target is not Dongyang, but Dongyi. ”

Zhu Xiaoping and everyone nodded.

"Although Beiyi and Dongyi belong to the same race, they have also been divided for hundreds of years, and they are constantly in dispute, and each regards the other as the betrayer of the grassland people. It's just that neither side has the strength to completely defeat the other, so the big and small battles have been fought for hundreds of years, and there is no winner or loser. Batu's ambition is not small, his ultimate goal must be the Central Plains, but before the complete invasion of the Central Plains, he will definitely get rid of Dongyi, a big henchman, so I guess that he came to Cloud City this time, negotiation is a secondary purpose, and the main purpose is to attack the east and the west, and take Dongyi directly. ”

After listening to Shi Guangying's analysis and Feng Sijing's secret letter, Zhang Bin and Wu Xiujing both agreed with this point of view, and the expressions on their faces were also a lot easier.

"But general, our Yunzhong City is also thousands of miles away from Dongyi, even if Batu wants to repair the plank road in the dark and turn from Yunzhong City to Dongyi, I'm afraid he won't be able to hide Dongyi's eyes and ears. Wu Xiujing asked.

"So that's where I'm confused, this Batu, what is the plan?"

Everyone discussed the map for a while, guessing Batu's intentions, although they didn't specifically guess what he was going to do, the sensitivity of professional soldiers still gave Shi Guangying and the others a general idea in their minds.

......

......

Besides, after the second prince and the king of Jin returned to the palace of the king of Jin, they didn't care about eating, and as soon as a few people sat down, the king of Jin said: "If you can't send Tian Zhiyu to Beiyi, sending him is tantamount to helping the people of Beiyi, this kind of stupid thing must not happen." ”

The second prince made a gesture to signal that King Jin didn't need to be in a hurry, he took a sip of tea first, then looked at Lin Zhaoyang, and asked, "Mr. Lin, how much do you think what Tian Zhiyu said is true and how false?"

Lin Zhaoyang thought for a moment and said, "Half true, half false." I doubt that his master and the mountain village he spoke of exist, but it is not easy to verify, so let's believe it. But I don't really believe in the weapon he said, you must know that a small iron ball, with a range of 1,000 meters, can also shoot into people's heads, it is really incredible. ”

The second prince nodded and said, "I think so too." My father once obtained a firecracker, which was filled with iron balls, and pushed out the iron balls through gunpowder explosions, and the range of this iron balls was only 100 meters, and the accuracy was extremely limited, so it was not easy to operate. Such a firebolt has been made by dozens of the best craftsmen over the course of several years. I don't believe that a mountain blacksmith can make a weapon far more advanced than that firebolt. So I think this Tian Zhiyu must be lying. ”

"It's a pity that this Tian Zhiyu is now in Cloud City and belongs to Shi Guangying's command, otherwise the people in my palace must have a way to make him tell the truth," King Jin said with some annoyance.

The second prince didn't care, and said: "Now no matter what this weapon is, the most important thing at the moment is how to make Beiyi retreat without handing over Tian Zhiyu." As for how many secrets this Tian Zhiyu has, after the Beiyi people are gone, we will have time to study it slowly. ”

When he slowly studied these four words and said them, a trace of gloom flashed in the eyes of the second prince.

"But the Beiyi people have already seen Tian Zhiyu, and we can't find a fake replacement, now we either hand him over or he dies, what other good way is there?" King Jin said.

The three of them buried their heads in thinking for a while, and Lin Zhaoyang suddenly said: "I have an idea, that is, it is more yin, I wonder if I can consider it?"

King Jin hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, please speak?"

Lin Zhaoyang hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "As far as I know, the King of Jin once took in a master of poisoning, don't you know that person is still in the mansion?"

King Jin's face changed, and he suddenly became a little ugly.

Lin Zhaoyang immediately explained: "King Jin forgive me, I have a lot of relationship with this master of using poison, he was expelled from the division back then, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes. Later, he took refuge in the King of Jin, incognito, and did not want to ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes again, but he had a heart to repay his kindness, so he once said that as long as there was a need in the next, he was willing to help. ”

King Jin saw Lin Zhaoyang say this, his face finally improved, he ran Taiyuan for more than ten years, emulating Meng Weijun during the Warring States Period, and snare strange people in the world, but these are all carried out secretly, because if Zhang Yang goes out, I am afraid that his emperor brother will never sit idly by.

"It turns out that this person is still an acquaintance of Mr. Lin. Then Mr. Lin must also know that this person is invincible in the world in addition to using poison, and his medical skills are also extremely clever, when he suffered from an incurable disease, he was helpless to search for famous doctors all over the world, fortunately, this person came to visit, showed his medical skills, and saved his life, so this king was very grateful to this person, and he couldn't repay him, so he asked him to be a doctor in the palace, on the one hand, it was regarded as a repayment for saving his life, and on the other hand, it was just to protect my palace," King Jin tried to overcome the embarrassment and explained seriously. While talking, he secretly looked at the second prince, and saw that he was not unusual, so he relieved himself.

Lin Zhaoyang didn't pay attention to this, he continued: "This person has no opponent in his life with poison, if he is asked to prepare a pair of poison for Tian Zhiyu to eat, even if he is handed over to the Beiyi people, there is no need to worry." He was fine at the time, but he was poisoned and died after a while, and even the Beiyi people had nothing to say at that time. ”

The second prince nodded and said, "This is also a better way, but is this poison easy to control?

"It's best to control it to about three months, the time is too short to avoid the suspicion of the Beiyi people, too long and afraid of long nights and dreams," Lin Zhaoyang said.

The second prince looked at King Jin again and said, "That person who is good at using poison, can he configure such a precise poison?"

King Jin thought for a moment and said, "I'd better invite him over and let him say it himself." Then he called the butler over and asked the butler to invite the poison master.

......

After a while, the butler pushed the door in, and behind the butler was a middle-aged man of short stature, who looked young and should be in his fifties, his face was white and beardless, and he seemed to have no expression except for his bright eyes.

With his hands in his sleeves, he bent over slightly, and slowly walked in front of a few people.

The housekeeper gave a salute, then exited the room, and bowed to King Jin with a poison master, not even looking at the second prince and Lin Zhaoyang.

King Jin didn't introduce the second prince, but just asked him: "Mr. Yang, this king has encountered a tricky matter right now and needs your help. ”

This Mr. Yang's full name is Yang Jiuling, he slowly raised his head and said: "The prince has supreme merit to the contemptible people, but if he is useful to the contemptible people, although the prince speaks, the contemptible people must do their best." ”

King Jin nodded and said, "Right now, the 100,000 troops of Beiyi are stationed in Cloud City, and we want to hand over a very important person. This person is good at making weapons, and if he is handed over to Beiyi, he will be a tiger and will cause endless disasters to Dongyang Kingdom in the future. But if this person is not handed over, there will inevitably be a war to the death between the two sides. Therefore, this king thought that in order to save the people of Dongyang from the suffering of war, it was better to hand over this person to Beiyi. However, he can't help Beiyi, so it's best to hand over a living person to them, and after a while, this person will die in Beiyi, so that you can have the best of both worlds, so I want to ask Mr. Yang, can you configure such a medicine to complete this task?"

Yang Jiuling lowered his head and thought for a while, and then asked, "I don't know how long the prince wants this person to live in Beiyi?"

"Three months. ”

Yang Jiuling was silent for a while, and said, "This is not difficult, it only takes two days to match." ”

King Jin was overjoyed, looked at the second prince and Lin Zhaoyang, and saw that the two were also smiling, and was about to say something, Yang Jiuling spoke again: "It's just that the law of using poison, the longer the time, the higher the instability." Three months can definitely kill a person, but in a month or two, the person may start to have seizures, first unable to speak, and then unable to move, lose all martial arts, and almost become a wasted person. If it weren't for the deep hatred, this poison would inevitably seem unkind. ”

Lin Zhaoyang's facial expression did not change, but he snorted in his heart, thinking that Yang Jiuling, who had killed countless people with poison in his life, would also have a time to talk about human feelings.

King Jin interrupted Yang Jiuling's words with a gesture and said, "If this person stays in Dongyang, he may become a pillar, but if he goes to Beiyi, he is my enemy in Dongyang, so you must not be merciful." ”

Yang Jiuling bowed his head to express his understanding, and said, "Okay, then the contemptible person will go down and prepare, and hand over the poison to the prince in two days." After speaking, he bowed to King Jin again, and without looking at the second prince and Lin Zhaoyang, he turned around and went out.

The second prince said to the smiling King of Jin: "In this way, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds, you can tell Shi Guangying tomorrow, and promise Beiyi's two conditions during the negotiation, but don't tell that Tian Zhiyu first." The day after tomorrow, we will hold a banquet in the Jin Palace, and invite all the soldiers of Yunzhong City, the reason can be to make up for yesterday's football game, or it can be to prepare for negotiations, and find the opportunity to poison Tian Zhiyu during the period. As for whether he is willing to go to Beiyi, I'm afraid it's not up to him to decide. ”

King Jin nodded and said, "The imperial nephew is very thoughtful, so it depends on your plan." ”
