The general led the way into the city for the army in front, helping the leader and alongside him.

The helper said, "General, how is the battle in front of you?"

The general said: "I have been here for five years, Xu Guo's soldiers and horses dare not come to harass, coupled with Xu Guo's defeat and retreat on other fronts, my 50,000 soldiers in this city are practicing every day, and they are already solid." This meeting, to say the least, there were 250,000 people, resting for a few days, and going straight to Huanglong. ”

The helper smiled: "The general is so capable, after killing Queen Xu, you and I will definitely be promoted to the knighthood, and the glory and wealth will be endless." ”

The general also smiled: "It's a blessing to call the flowers, I originally followed you along the street to ask for food, but I didn't expect to be an official right away." ”

The helper suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity that Tang Lao Dart, if he is still here, he will definitely be able to make great contributions and leave his name in history." ”

The general waved his hand and quipped: "This was all eight hundred years ago, what did he do, Brother Tang is gone, am I still there? I can make meritorious service for him, I can leave his name in history." ”

The gang leader patted the general's buttocks with admiration, and said: "The general still knows the current affairs, if Tang Lao had your consciousness back then, then he must be the No. 1 big man today, whether he is in the rivers and lakes or in the imperial court." ”

The general said: "It's all over, and now we are all soldiers who defend the country, and it is our mission to protect our family and defend the country." ”

The helper smiled with relief, the autumn wind blowing his beard seemed to come from spring, before he was worried that the general would take Tang Jianli's revenge on his head, but now it seems that he is a good general who puts aside his personal grievances and concentrates on defending the country and fighting the world, a good man.

He didn't know that the general was rehearsing a move to kill him in his mind at this moment, he didn't know that a Hongmen banquet had been set up in the city in front of him, and he didn't know that there was a dragon-slaying assassin hidden in the dark room behind the unicorn chair.

The dark room was dark and could not let in a little sunlight, Ye Yu couldn't help but sigh how much work the general had put into making this dark room, he sat cross-legged on the ground, his head was still a foot away from the door, as long as he heard Ling's sound, he could get up and push open the door above his head, and stabbed into the neck of King Wei on the unicorn chair.

Ye Yu heard the busy servants in the lobby and smelled the aroma of wine and food, and probably knew how far the banquet was prepared.

The first to enter the lobby was the personal guard of the king of Wei, who carefully inspected every corner, cleared the guards who were originally guarding the courtyard, and confirmed that it was safe before letting everyone in.

The first voice that came into the lobby was the hearty laughter of the governor: "Look, the king, the general's mansion is so magnificent, and the general has put a lot of effort into welcoming us. ”

The general said: "This is what the last general should do." Before the banquet began, the hand holding the jade bell hidden in his sleeve was already sweating nervously.

Everyone's eyes passed through the hall, and their eyes gathered on the highest and deepest Qilin Throne, each secretly admiring the solemnity of the throne.

Even King Wei, who was used to sitting on the dragon chair, inadvertently showed a hint of surprise when he sat down on this chair.

Delicate wine and delicacies, served on a white plate, beige wine through the spout and into the wine bottle.

After the banquet, King Wei first picked up the wine bottle and said, "Everyone has worked hard, this glass of wine, toast everyone." ”

His voice was low, every word was clear, and even the sound of wine passing through his throat exuded an awe-inspiring majesty.

After the feast, the hungry people let down all their guards, gobbled up, and the liquor flowed into their stomachs with the spicy Sichuan food, and no one noticed that there was anything wrong with the wine.

During this time, the general kept observing the faces of the people and the food on the table, and he was waiting for the most opportune moment to ring the bell in his sleeve.

The wine in the pot slowly became lighter, the meat on the plate gradually decreased, time passed little by little, at this moment, the general had waited for a whole ten years, and now, he only needed to calm down and wait for a while, and the great revenge could be avenged.

The seat on his right sits the gang leader, and the seat on the left sits the governor, and when the bell rings Ye Yu kills, he will take advantage of the moment when everyone is surprised, put the dagger hidden in the boot into the gang leader's neck, and then turn around and cut the governor's throat.

Then it was not difficult for him to deal with the old monk and military advisor who were suffering from sweat pills on the other side.

He rehearsed the actions he was going to do in his mind again and again, and from his calm expression, others did not feel that he was sitting in an unfathomable trap.

But just as the general was waiting for the time to pass a little longer, an accident happened.

The king of the unicorn chair suddenly stood up, left his seat, and walked down the steps.

Holding a pot in his left hand and a cup in his right, he walked to the military advisor's seat and poured himself a full glass of wine.

When the military advisor hurriedly got up when he saw this, King Wei poured wine into his cup, and his voice was low, full of sincerity and gratitude: "This way, the military advisor is the person I am most grateful to." If there is no military advisor to make plans and arrange troops, let alone take Xu Guo, it is a question of whether we can even make it here alive. It was precisely because of the presence of military advisors that I dared to personally lead the troops to the battle. Military advisor, and drink this cup full, I wish us to return to the court with the head of the thief. ”

The liquor poured into the mouth of the military advisor, not spilling a drop, not even touching his beard, he regarded this glass of wine as a reward for the king, and he was not willing to waste a drop.

"The king has won the award, and being able to work for the defense of the country is a blessing from the previous life. ”

"Strategist, what are we going to do next?"

"There are only twenty-six cities left in the Xu Kingdom, and they are in the shape of a long snake, and the total number of troops is only seventy or eighty thousand. We are also very clear about the terrain, let everyone rest here for three days, and set off in the morning after three days, first hit the head of the snake, pass through the intestines, and win these 26 seats, the world can be determined. ”

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to beat the snake seven inches so that it can't be taken care of at the end?"

"If we fight seven inches, we must first bypass several cities, which is not good for us, and if the enemy surprises and cuts off the army and the rear, it will be very dangerous for us to go deep alone. Only hit the snake's head first, then hit the snake's neck, seven inches, the snake's body, and finally take away the snake's tail. ”

King Wei nodded in agreement, and the military advisor continued: "Our current 250,000 people are not superior in numbers in the siege battle. The closer we get to the snake's tail, the fewer of us are. However, Xu Guo's qi has been exhausted, the army's morale is weak, these twenty-six cities do not necessarily have to be attacked one by one, and they can still rely on outwitting and dividing the city in the middle, and some cities will take the initiative to open the door and surrender. Therefore, the world will soon be the king's. ”

Wei Wang laughed loudly, laughing very relieved, laughing very satisfied. The great cause that has not been accomplished by generations of ancestors is about to be completed in his own hands, and he can foresee the dust raised by future generations when they erect monuments for themselves.

The general had a smile on his face, but his heart had sunk to the bottom. Thousands of calculations, but never calculated what would happen if King Wei left the throne and drank with everyone. He watched King Wei and the military advisor talk, watching time pass little by little.

What if before King Wei returned to the throne, everyone found that there was sweat medicine in the wine and food?

If that's the case, before the guards outside the door break in and control themselves, can they kill the king of the guard with one move?

Thinking of this, the general suddenly felt that he was a stupid person who actually came up with such a stupid plan.

The only thing he could do was secretly pray that King Wei would sit back on the throne quickly.

King Wei was in high spirits today, he walked to the old monk's table, still with a smile on his face: "Master, I know that the Buddhists don't eat meat, and replace wine with tea, let me toast the master with a glass." ”

The old monk performed a Buddhist ritual and took the tea that King Wei had poured for himself.

"I know killing is not a good thing. However, the thief is incompetent, violent and unreasonable, and the only way to solve the people's problems is to kill. When King Wei said this, there was indeed a little unbearable in his tone.

If he hadn't been born in troubled times, he wouldn't have been a king who loved to kill.

The old monk said lightly: "Everyone in the world suffers, and all living beings are killed. ”

The general's palms were already covered with cold sweat, his mouth was dry, and time was like his blood, which was being drained little by little.

He stared at King Wei talking endlessly to the old monk, glancing at the throne from time to time, and he felt that he had lost control of the plan.

The general's worries were not unreasonable, and before King Wei walked to the governor, he had a full conversation with the old monk for a whole time.

Ye Yu, who was hiding in the dark room, also felt that something was wrong, and he could only judge that he was far away from him by the voice of King Wei.

The knife that had been unsheathed was dull, and the hand holding the knife was oozing cold sweat.

"Helper, I know you are the most faithful. When Zhao'an was in Zhao'an, the first person to accept it was you, and this glass of wine toasted the beggars. Even when King Wei expressed his gratitude very sincerely, his tone still naturally revealed a kingly spirit.

In the past ten years, I can't count how many cups I have drunk with King Wei, but every time the helper receives King Wei's wine, he is still as cautious as the first time: "We call Hanako don't understand any reason, we only know that it must be right to sacrifice our lives for the country." ”

"After the world is defeated, the beggar gang can change its name, and no one will call you Hanako anymore, and no one will dare to look down on you anymore. ”

"They all depend on the king's favor. ”

"After destroying Xu Guo, what life does the gang leader want to live the most?"

"Eat dog meat every day. ”

"Is this satisfying?"

"The brothers have been asking for food all their lives, and every day they are bitten by dogs, and their teeth itch with hatred. Hanako doesn't want to be famous in history, she just wants to never be chased by dogs again, and eats dog meat every day. ”

"Isn't it just dog meat, it's not easy. King Wei laughed loudly: "General, is there dog meat here?"

King Wei suddenly spoke to himself, the general was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, let the subordinates slaughter a few dogs, and help the main stew or braised it?"

The helper said unceremoniously: "Braised with red blood, put more green onion and ginger to remove the smell." ”

After a few glasses of wine, everyone's faces were slightly red, their breathing gradually became thicker, and the sweat medicine had already flare up without them noticing, and now was the best time to do it, and if it dragged on for a while, I was afraid that it would leak out.

King Wei had no intention of returning to the throne, and now it was necessary to change the plan, and the general decided to take matters into his own hands. The next person to toast King Wei was himself, and when he approached him, the moment he relaxed his guard, he grabbed his neck with his left hand, and stabbed him in the chest with his right hand.

He didn't care about how to kill the other four next, and stabbing King Wei to death was the primary goal.

While King Wei was talking to the gang leader, the general made a decision in his heart, and at the same time, he also poured himself a glass of wine and waited for King Wei.

After a while, King Wei and the helper finished talking, and the accident happened again, King Wei actually took a few steps to skip himself and walked directly to the governor's seat.

When King Wei walked in front of the general's eyes, the general wanted to do it directly, but the distance was more than a foot, and there was a wine case in the middle, and he was still kneeling on the ground, so he couldn't get it at all, or perhaps, King Wei wanted to return to the throne?

But his heart sank again, and the king stopped in front of the governor to speak to him again.

"You leave the princess to fight in the north and south, whether it is for you or the princess, I can't bear it, I respect you as a father and a father-in-law for this glass of wine. ”

The governor laughed: "The affairs of men and women are not enough to worry about, and I dare not compare them with protecting the family and defending the country." ”

"It's hard to be the governor, for the sake of this country, you can't even take care of the family property left to you by Lingzun. ”

"Don't dare, compared to a small Heimiao Village, marrying a princess is the blessing of the son-in-law's three lives. ”

Who has not died a brother? Who has not shed blood? The general's merits are not inferior to those present, but why didn't King Wei toast himself?

It's not that he feels unbalanced, the general is just afraid that if there is another meaning in this, he can't figure it out and can't guess it.

Even Ye Yu, who could only hear the voice, felt that King Wei's attitude towards the general was unusual, could it be that King Wei had already seen through this Hongmen banquet?

Maybe King Wei thinks that he is the one who has the most credit, and only respects himself in the end?

When he speculated in his heart, he immediately realized that he was wrong, and King Wei took another step, not to him, but to the steps, to the throne.

The general finally breathed a sigh of relief, whatever the meaning of this was, it didn't matter, as soon as he sat on the throne, he would ring the bell immediately.

His breath was half relieved and then stuck, and King Wei stopped halfway through, stood on the steps, turned his back to everyone, changed his tone just now, and said coldly: "Dudu, take his talisman." ”

The general was taken aback, and before he could react, the governor's hand had already reached over and said, "General, please." ”

He didn't even look at Du Du, stared at King Wei's back, and said loudly: "Why?"

The governor replied on behalf of the king: "This is a military order. ”

The general's tone also changed, and he said, "Hand over the soldiers and horses that have followed me for ten years, don't you even have an explanation?"

Du Du patted the general on the shoulder and said helplessly: "General, do you know that as early as seventeen years ago, Wei Guo had a great opportunity to annihilate Xu Guo?"

The general said: "I don't know, I was just a dart master at that time. ”

Du Du said: "There will be a cycle in the times, and the general trend of seventeen years ago is strikingly similar to today. At that time, our Kingdom of David gathered all the soldiers, a full 260,000 horses, to fight the last decisive battle with the Kingdom of Xu. ”

The governor's eyes seemed to have the Jin Ge Iron Horse from seventeen years ago: "If the defense of the country was won in that battle, the world would have been the king a long time ago." ”

"At that time, my David soldiers were strong and strong, with plenty of food and grass, and a once-in-a-century general, brave and good at fighting, and no one could do it. The king was very attached to the general, and gave him 60,000 soldiers to command. Therefore, the annexation of the state of Xu, which had only 150,000 horses at that time, was already a matter of exploration. ”

"But I hate the heavens without eyes, and don't bless me David. On the eve of the war, this villain, who held 60,000 talismans, suddenly rebelled. With my generals, I will cut off my food and grass, and kill my guards, and my kingdom of David will be defeated before fighting. ”

The general asked, "Why the mutiny?"

"Because Xu Guo promised him that as long as he is willing to take refuge, after destroying my kingdom of David, the world can divide his seven cities. Du Du sneered: "How can my David's kingdom be lost in the hands of villains, relying on the remaining 100,000 people, although I lost a few cities, but finally I still held my David's mountains and rivers unbroken." ”

The general said lightly: "Is it possible, does the governor think that Xu Guo is also willing to divide my cities?"

King Wei suddenly turned around, this was the first time he looked at the general, and said: "If the general is really a loyal man, he will hand over the talisman and cut off the speculation of others." ”

"On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, this is the king's. The general realized that the first target was the head of King Wei, and the power was already something outside his body, regardless of what others thought of him, so he reached out to the talisman in his arms.

After the governor took the talisman, everyone present except the general breathed a long sigh of relief, as if the executioner behind him had finally put down the butcher's knife.

"This time, the king drove his own expedition, holding 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were really in the hands of this small talisman. Du Du looked at the talisman in his hand, and said with a strange smile: "The talisman is dead, the person is alive, and I don't know whether the people under the general are obedient to this talisman or to the general?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and four samurai entered the door, two armed with bracelets and two with beheading broadswords, apparently prepared in advance.

"What does this mean?" said the general angrily, "You can't trust me after handing over the talisman?"

The governor comforted: "On the day of victory and triumph, a tombstone must be erected for the general, full of the general's great achievements, and left for future generations to praise." ”

"Villain!" the general pointed to the governor's nose and scolded angrily: "I took my brothers from the dart game to fight on the battlefield, and now in the current war, you actually want to take my life." ”

As he spoke, four samurai had already walked up to the general and surrounded him in the middle.

The general froze and said, "Dudu, if I am really bought by Xu Guo, now I am only a few steps away from you, and I can take your life at any time, do you believe it or not?" ”

"You can try. The military advisor who hadn't spoken for a long time on the side suddenly spoke, and when he stood up, his right hand had already held down the sword, and his eyebrows were full of murderous intent.

A hundred thoughts flashed in the general's heart, he was more than twenty steps away from King Wei, if an arrow step rushed between the four warriors, broke through the gang leader who was blocking in front, shook off the governor, and then pulled out the dagger in his boot and plunged it into King Wei's throat, he was only twenty percent sure at most.

Just as he was thinking for a moment, the helper suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly: "There is poison in the wine and food!"

Everyone was shocked, only to find that the whole body was unconsciously unable to use any strength.

When Du Du drew his knife, he only felt that he had no strength in his whole body: "You are the villain!"

King Wei held on to the guardrail, and he still didn't panic when he pointed at the general: "Kill him!"

The general didn't have time to think about it anymore, and when he rushed out as fast as lightning and like a gale, he had already decided to splatter five steps of blood and stay here.

"Stop him!" the gang leader shouted in fear as the general's dagger came to him, and the movement was so fast that everyone was stunned.

After a moment, the helper covered his neck, and blood oozed from his fingers, and he couldn't stop.

The general was only seven steps away from King Wei, and in the blink of an eye, his dagger could plunge into King Wei's throat.

At the last moment, the dragon-slaying dagger stopped.

The old monk's left hand grabbed the general's wrist like a plier, and then slashed down the dagger with his right palm.

The sharp-eyed military advisor found that the general was holding a bell made of jade in his hand, and shouted: "He has a code, there is an ambush! Kill him!"

The four samurai were about to slash the general to death with their swords when suddenly a loud "bang!" came from behind the unicorn throne.

This was the sound of Ye Yu opening the secret door too hard, and everyone looked back and found that when a person suddenly appeared behind the throne, it was too late.

The cold light broke through the sky, and it came so quickly, and a scimitar of Xu Guo was already on the neck of King Wei.
