My plan is actually quite simple.

Plan 1: Luo Wang will write a letter to the seven or eight clans in the same camp, and then Wei Qing and I will deliver the letter on my behalf.

Plan 2: Starting that night, people in the palace will fall ill one after another, and the official doctor will be summoned into the palace overnight to prove that there is an epidemic of typhoid fever in the palace. Then, in order to prevent contagion, the sick person is sent out of the house. The next day, several more people contracted typhoid fever and left the house one after another. By the third day, Luo Wang could disguise himself as a patient and leave the house.

Just do it, find someone to drink a big bowl of ginger soup, cover it with a big sweat, in such a hot southern summer, it's strange that it's not so hot that the top of your head is smoking and sweating. Then he applied some spots with rouge on his face, and in the dark night, he was indeed a typhoid patient.

However, even so, it will not hide from the eyes of the medical officer, so the medical officer must naturally be his own person.

Everything went well, and when the first and second patients were sent out of the house from head to toe, wrapped like brown, the guards of the Praetorian Army, although pinching their noses and covering their mouths, examined them carefully.

The third one seemed to be heavier, and when he opened the cloth covering his face, he even spit out a mouthful of filth on a forbidden soldier, so scared that the guy ran away, probably because he was afraid of infection and rushed home to take a shower and change clothes.

By the fourth, the forbidden soldiers were all far away, and it was said that the forbidden army who had vomited had diarrhea after returning home, and I don't know if it was infected with typhoid fever, and everyone didn't want to be the next unlucky ghost.

In fact, the forbidden army was really unlucky, he was not infected, he just drank it...... It's just porridge with "croton".

On the third day, Luo Wang successfully blended out of the palace after careful camouflage.

The place where the clans gathered was Luo Wang's annex on the outskirts of the city, the place was secluded and elegant, and the courtyard was full of hidden guards of the clans, and safety was not a problem.

At the moment, there is no tranquility here.

Wei Qing and I stood on the left and on the right, pretending to be an attendant, behind Luo Wang, who was sitting in the right seat. Quietly watched a group of clan magnates quarrel over the southward movement of the Han army.

Some people say that they simply abandon the city and flee, and they can't put the lives of their families on the line for a fool who only takes eggs and hits stones; some people say that it is better to secretly ask someone to surrender to the Han army, maybe they can get a pardon and protect the clan; and some people say that the matter has come to this point, and they have to fight to the death, and whether they live or die depends on the will of God.

Then everyone scolded Luo Ying together, and piled all the words used on the faint monarch tyrant Wudao Jun on him painfully, and finally everyone's face was red, and the green tendons on their foreheads skyrocketed.

Hey, a wretched, pathetic, useless bunch!

Luo Wang sat without saying a word, as an old man who played politics all the year round, he knew that now was not the time to speak, and when all their methods were exhausted, all their wisdom was exhausted, and all their anger, resentment, and strength were vented, it was his turn to preside over the overall situation.

Sure enough, when everyone was tired of scolding, sitting on the seat and panting, someone looked at Luo Wang dissatisfiedly: "King Luo, you summoned us here to discuss the plan, why didn't you say a word?"

Luo Wang deliberately sighed and said: "So far, what else can this king say? Either flee, or surrender, or fight desperately and bloody with the Han army, these ideas, the result is nothing more than the destruction of the country and the death of the family, even if God is fortunate to save the life of a family, it is just to live incognito all his life, to live in the world, to be ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, and to the people of Minyue, is there no better way?"

Everyone sighed in unison, revealing a helpless expression.

Another white-headed clan shook his head pessimistically and said, "What other way can we solve the crisis of Minyue? Unless a miracle suddenly appears, which can make the Han withdraw its troops." ”

Luo Wang said tentatively: "If this king has a way to make the Han withdraw his troops, and he can make Minyue turn the crisis into safety, will you listen to me?"

All the clans turned their eyes to Luo Wang in unison, and they couldn't wait to ask: "What is the magic method of King Luo? If we can protect Minyue, we will obey it." ”

Luo Wang frowned, pretending to be worried, and said: "Alas, this plan is indeed the only way to protect Minyue and my Luo clan, but this king has thought about it again, this plan is extremely dangerous and may not be feasible." ”

The white-headed clan was anxious: "King Luo, if you have something to say, why bother to spit out? Now, no matter what the method is, it is better to try it than to sit here and wait for death." ”

Luo Wang looked at everyone in embarrassment, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "I'm afraid that if this king says it, you will kill me immediately." ”

A slightly younger clan said: "Uncle Wang, as long as you can solve the difficulties of Minyue and keep my Luo clan, no matter what the method, the little nephew will definitely be the only one who will look forward to Uncle Wang." ”

The rest of the people also chimed in: "Yes, we will also obey King Luo." ”

Luo Wang's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, since everyone is so united, this king will offer a plan." The plan is ......" he raised his hand in a slashing gesture.

The clans were inexplicable: "Kill someone, kill whom?"

Luo Wang spit out the name word by word: "Luo Ying!"

Immediately, everyone's faces changed, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Luo Wang sneered: "What, are you scared?"

All the clans hung their heads and were silent.

The young clan said hesitantly: "Uncle Wang, we are not cowardly people, it's just that this is a big crime committed by killing the king, not to mention whether we can make the Han army withdraw is also unknown, how can we take the risk?"

Luo Wang said: "This attack on South Vietnam was originally instigated by the king to listen to Liu Ziju, and few courtiers agreed with it. As long as he dies, the anger in the heart of the emperor of the Han Dynasty can be calmed, and we will hand over the letter again, and we will be able to keep Minyue safe. ”

Another clan said: "King Luo, this is just your words, even if we really kill the king, who can guarantee that the emperor of the Han Dynasty will definitely let Min Yue go and let us go?"

Luo Wang took out the yellow silk book from his bosom and said: "This is a letter written by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to the clans, you may wish to read it before making a conclusion." ”

Liu Che's letter is nothing more than saying that Minyue is a soldier without authorization, and Luo Ying is the fault of Luo Ying alone, if the Minyue clan is willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light, all the past will not be blamed......

After the clans carefully circulated Liu Che's silk book, they all fell into deep thought. Luo Wang didn't force them to express their stance immediately, just drank tea quietly, waiting for their decision after weighing.

The young clan spoke first: "Even if this plan is feasible, but there are tens of thousands of troops in the city, the palace is heavily guarded, and the king himself is extremely powerful, how can he be killed? Could it be that Uncle Wang wants to find a swordsman to assassinate the king?"

When he said this, he was clearly moved.

Luo Wang said: "It is not a bad idea to find an assassin to assassinate, but the chance of success is very rare. In the king's heart, there is a suitable candidate, if he makes a move, great things will be accomplished, but you need to be able to make up your minds and persuade him with this king. ”

Everyone asked in unison, "Who is it?"

Luo Wang said: "Prince Yu Shan!"

Everyone was surprised: "Yu Shan, the king's younger brother?"

Luo Wang said calmly: "Yes, Yu Shan has a heavy army, and his power is second only to the king, although on the surface it seems that he has always been obedient to the king, but in fact, he is secretly building up his own power, and his ambition can be seen." If we persuade him to kill Luo Ying to thank the emperor of Han, and then promise to fully support him to become the new king of Minyue, he will definitely be moved to obey, as long as he is willing to make a move, the assassination is successful, and Minyue will definitely be saved. ”

A clan frowned and said, "But, do we really want to support him as the king of Minyue?"

Luo Ying glared at him and said, "At the moment, it is not a question of who will be the king of Minyue, but how to protect the clan and the people of this country." ”

There was silence in the room......

It was still the young clan, and after thinking about it again, he first spoke out in agreement: "The little nephew is willing to listen to Uncle Wang's strategy, just because there is no other good way to save the country, and in order to save the country, he can only sacrifice the king alone." ”

Luo Ying looked at the others and asked, "What do you think?"

If there is one approval, there is a second and third......

The old man agreed. ”

"In order for Minyue not to destroy the country, I also agree. ”

..................

Winning the consent of the clan was expected, and according to the original plan, he immediately went to invite Luo Yushan while the iron was hot, and the next thing was the main thing.

Half an hour later, Prince Luo Yushan walked in with frowning eyebrows, he was a stout and powerful man, with a pair of small eyes full of essence and cruelty, and at a glance he knew that he was not a kind person.

As soon as he entered, he said impatiently, "This king is about to discuss with the king how to break the enemy, why do you uncles and brothers want to hold a clan meeting here?"

When he looked up and saw Luo Ying, he said strangely: "Uncle Wang, aren't you ...... by the king?"

Luo Ying smiled "hehe" and said, "This king risked his life to steal out of the palace, but he came to save your life, the prince." ”

Luo Yushan was stunned, glanced at the surrounding clans with nervous faces, and was wary in his eyes: "What does Uncle Wang mean by this?"

Luo Ying restrained his smile and said, "Just now, the prince also said that he would go to discuss with the king how to break the enemy. Does the prince think that with the national strength of my Minyue, he can compete with the Han Dynasty?"

Luo Yushan said quietly: "What does Uncle Wang mean, is it that we will definitely be defeated?"

Luo Ying said: "The prince is the commander of Minyue, and he must see the situation in the Min-Han war more clearly than this king. ”

Luo Yushan snorted and said, "Uncle Wang might as well say it if he has something to say." ”

Luo Wang said: "Just now, this king has discussed with his clan relatives, but now there is only one way to save Minyue from danger. And this method can only be done by you, the prince. ”

Luo Yushan smiled, and the expression on his face changed unpredictably.

This guy is really hard to deal with.

Wei Qing and I watched his every move carefully.

I only heard Luo Yushan say: "Yu Shan is willing to hear the details." ”

Luo Wang didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Kill the king." ”

Luo Yushan's movements were extremely fast, and with a "cangchang" sound, the long sword was unsheathed, and he couldn't help but say that he stabbed at Luo Wang.

Wei Qing and I were watching him from the sidelines, how could we let him succeed? He was faster than Wei Qing, and the horizontal sword blocked his coming, and the two swords intersected, and burst out a little spark. At the same time, I had pulled Luo Wang behind me with great agility, holding a gun in front of me. The rest of the clan had already been frightened and hid aside, at a loss.

In a blink of an eye, Wei Qing and Luo Yushan exchanged three moves.

This guy's kung fu is not very good, he is strong in strength, every time the two swords collide, Wei Qing is shocked away, it seems that he can't show off his strength here, and he doesn't have that time.

Xiang Wei Qing gave a look, I raised my hand and shot, "bang", the voice was piercing and poignant, and everyone was stunned at the same time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Qing turned behind Luo Yushan like lightning, and the sword in his hand crossed his neck.

The shot I fired was a threat, and the bullet narrowly grazed Luo Yushan's arm, breaking the window lattice on the opposite side.

His life was at stake, Luo Yushan didn't dare to move, and the sword in his hand was forced to be thrown away.

I said coldly, "Do you know what this is? This weapon is called a gun, and it can kill people from a hundred paces away, so you'd better be honest." ”

Luo Yushan looked at the gun in my hand, and his eyes showed an incredible look.

I turned my gun around and fired another shot at the window, and the other lattice snapped. This time, not only Luo Yushan, everyone could see it clearly, and their expressions were shocked, and then, I pointed a gun at Luo Yushan.

Wei Qing withdrew his sword and returned to me.

Seeing the power of this weapon, Luo Yushan really didn't dare to move, turned to Luo Wang and said, "Uncle Wang, do you really dare to make trouble?"

I replied on his behalf: "Wrong, this is not called making trouble, this is called taking care of the overall situation." ”

Luo Yushan glared at me, his eyes vicious: "Who are you? You dare to instigate Uncle Wang to betray the king, what is your intention?"

I smiled slightly and said, "In Xia Liu Dan, it is the envoy of Minyue sent by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to show you a way out." ”

Luo Yushan was obviously a little lacking in confidence under my gun: "You, you are actually a spy sent by the Han Dynasty?

My voice was slow, but my tone was extremely cold, and I said: "The king of Minyue was originally a vassal king of the Han Dynasty, and he sent troops without being the emperor, so His Majesty was furious and sent troops to Minyue, determined to kill Luo Ying. Today, the Han army is strong, even if you can rely on the convenient location of Fujian and Yue to be able to obstruct it for a while, but you will not be able to fight for a long time, and when the time comes, the catastrophe of destroying the country is in front of you. If you are willing to listen to me, Prince, kill Luo Ying to stop me from being angry with Your Majesty, and then stop the sword soldiers and protect Minyue, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Luo Yushan said: "You Han Dynasty people have always been deceitful, how do you want me to believe you?"

Luo Wang took out Liu Che's book and said, "This is a letter from the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, please read it, prince." With that, he threw it over.

Luo Yushan took it and read it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "What if the emperor of the Han Dynasty does not keep his promises?"

I said: "That's easy to do, if the Han Emperor is really as the prince thinks, is a trustless villain, then the prince will lead the Minyue army and people to fight to the end, and finally retreat to the sea." ”

I continued to lobby: "However, I am not a person who is untrustworthy and unrighteous, Dongou and Nanyue are both subject countries of the Han Dynasty, and in case of trouble, the Son of Heaven of Han will send troops to reinforce even if the road is far away." What do you think is the support behind the strength of the Han army? Two words -- money and grain. For the sake of the interests of his subjects, the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to spend huge military spending, who dares to say that he is a man of his word?"

Luo Yushan lowered his head in contemplation and moved slightly.

I continued: "What's more, Luo Ying is mean and unkind, reckless and militaristic, not a Ming monarch, for the sake of such a person, does the prince think it is worth sacrificing the whole of Minyue? Kill Luo Ying, the prince's first achievement, my Han Emperor will not treat you badly, and in the future, he will tear the earth and seal the king, it is not impossible. ”

If Luo Yushan was only slightly moved just now, now in the face of such good conditions, he is even more deeply moved.

In fact, politics is so utilitarian and ugly, everything is under the trade-off, the lesser of two evils, the heavier of the two benefits, all decisions must be subject to the requirements of interests in the end, as long as the benefits are great, even parents and brothers will be weighed.

How could a careerist like Luo Yushan easily let go of perhaps the only chance to ascend to the throne once in his life?

"Okay, I promise you!" he wisely made the expected decision.

All those present breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Wang was very happy and said, "So Minyue is saved." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at all the clansmen, and everyone stepped forward "Hula", knelt down in front of Luo Yushan, and said in unison: "I would like to respect the prince as the king of Minyue! See the king of Minyue." ”

Luo Yushan's face showed a smile, and he hurriedly went to help them: "Everyone, please hurry up, let's discuss this matter, this matter ...... Plan carefully. ”

The assassination itself is not difficult, Luo Ying has always trusted this younger brother, and he would never think of committing a rebellion, so it is very easy to succeed, and the key problem is the 3,000 forbidden troops in the palace and the 20,000 troops in the city. How can you stabilize them?

Although Luo Yushan has military power, he only has 5,000 personal soldiers stationed in Yecheng, 5,000 against 20,000, once there is a real conflict, the chance of victory is not great.

I came up with an idea and said, "Prince, didn't you just say that you wanted to enter the palace to discuss a strategy to break the enemy?" Now that the Han Dynasty army is gathered in the area of Xianxialing, the troops stationed there must be insufficient, so you might as well offer Luo Ying a plan and ask him to send reinforcements to Xianxialing, so that the 20,000 troops stationed in Yecheng will be transferred, and the remaining 3,000 forbidden troops will not be worried. ”

When Luo Yushan heard this, he said yes, and immediately made a detailed arrangement, and Luo Yushan immediately went to the palace.

The next day, the army in the city was ordered to be transferred to Xianxialing.

That night, Wei Qing and I disguised ourselves as Luo Yushan's attendants and followed him to the palace.

The Minyue Palace is naturally not as magnificent and luxurious as the Weiyang Palace, but it is also a high wall and a deep fortress that is well guarded.

On this night, the sky was full of haze, and Luo Yushan's five thousand men and horses quietly approached the palace under the cover of thick darkness.

The palace was dimly lit in the dark night, and with Luo Yushan passed through the corridor guarded by the forbidden army, passed through several palace gates, and saw that the main hall in front of him was bright.

The three of us came in with swords.

In the middle of the main hall sat a middle-aged man with an angry face, who should be Luo Ying, the king of Minyue, and thought that he was such a vicious guy, but he was just a super thin "ugly monkey king".

There were also three or four civil ministers and military generals in the hall, some with sad faces, some with frightened eyes, obviously the monarchs and ministers had just quarreled over something.

Seeing us come in, Luo Ying's face flashed with surprise, and he immediately stepped down from the throne and said: "Brother Wang, you have just come at the right time, there has just been an urgent report of the military situation, recently another army of the Han Dynasty has left Jiangxi and is coming in the direction of Meiling, plus Zhao Hu, the king of Baiyue in the southwest, and now we are under enemy on three sides, and the situation is very bad. ”

Luo Yushan greeted his brother Wang and said as he walked: "Then let's discuss a way to fight the enemy." ”

The two brothers walked towards each other, neither of them hesitated, and suddenly a rainbow-like light flashed under the bright light, and then the pillar of blood spewed out like an arrow.

Luo Ying's head rolled to the ground.

I closed my eyes, and a feeling of vomiting churned in my stomach.

I never thought that Luo Yushan would be so vicious and simple, and he didn't hesitate.

The accident came suddenly, and everyone present was stunned.

The fastest reaction was the only military general in the hall, and he shouted: "Someone!"

Wei Qing's hand raised and fell, and the general fell to the ground in response.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a figure rushed towards the outside of the hall, and Luo Yushan shouted: "Catch Liu Ziju." ”

The people who came up outside the hall were all Luo Yushan's personal soldiers, and the middle-aged queen who was blocked from the way retreated, shouting indiscriminately: "You, you are guilty of rebellion, you dare to kill the king." ”

Luo Yushan shouted angrily: "If you hadn't instigated the king, how could my Minyue Kingdom fall to today's situation." You're the real offender. ”

Saying that, he stepped forward and stabbed again, and the former prince of Wu was immediately killed.

There were three corpses lying on the main hall, blood pouring all over the ground.

Luo Yushan's face was pale, and he said loudly: "The king is assassinated, immediately issue an edict, arrest the murderer, and mourn the whole country!"

I looked at Luo Yushan and really wanted to vomit.

And for the first time, I actually had a killing machine in my heart.

Luo Ying is dead, and everything is settled!

Luo Yushan sent an envoy to dedicate Luo Ying's head to Daxing Ling Wang Hui, and then the imperial court sent an envoy to accept Minyue's petition to invite himself as a vassal state again, and at the same time promulgated the edict of the Han Emperor to crown Luo Yushan as the king of Dongyue.

On a rainy morning, Wei Qing and I set off for Beijing.

When I came, I was in a hurry with a heavy responsibility, and it was much easier to go back, without wearing the stars and the moon, and without having to travel day and night. And I am in a very bad mood, I often stop and go, admire the moon and see the scenery, I don't know why, I just don't want to go back so quickly to face the emperor, the court, and politics!

When I stayed in the guest house, through the window lattice, I saw the curved half moon outside, and suddenly thought that it was now nearly October, the Mid-Autumn Festival in August of the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and I actually spent it in the sword and sword, conspiracy, and bloody killing, and at that time, I didn't think about the Mid-Autumn Festival to go home.

I'm starting to get scared......

I am afraid that I will eventually get used to this kind of life, I am afraid that I will eventually abandon the belief of going home, I am afraid that I will eventually dissolve into sin and darkness, and I am even more afraid......

I'm even more afraid that one day, I will forget you!

Xiao Jian!

It was with such a feeling of boredom, fear, and depression that it took more than a month for Wei Qing and I to return to Chang'an City.

Jumping out of the carriage, the noon sun shone on me, shaking me dizzy, put my hands on the pergola, looked up at the towering and quaint city wall, only to hear Wei Qing beside me sigh: "This time I came back, I really feel like a world away." ”

Just then, I heard a strange soft sound, so subtle that it was almost imperceptible...... The sound of the bow pulling the string.

Almost between the swords and the fire, I instinctively pushed Wei Qing away, and then I clearly felt the pain of the sharp blade penetrating the hard sternum and deeply embedded in the heart.
