Prime Minister Shi Cheng ostensibly controls the government of Shule State, but there are great hidden dangers inside.

He was at odds with the ministers, but he never cared, but the prince was on the side of the ministers, the situation was different, although King Shule was only in his forties, his physical condition was not very good, Prime Minister Shi was worried that once the king died, the crown prince would be unfavorable to himself after he succeeded to the throne, so he came up with the idea of preemptively striking and becoming king himself.

The original partner was Shangguan Tian, but before he could open his mouth to test, the second young master of Jinpeng Castle was defeated in the competition with the Dragon King, and Prime Minister Shi quickly changed his mind.

In the secret conversation with the Dragon King, he promised that after seizing the throne, he would fully support the Great Snow Mountain, not only borrowing the road, but also supplying grain, grass, horses, weapons and armor, but he could not borrow troops, and the Shule Kingdom could not openly stand on the side of the Great Snow Mountain for the time being.

Gu Shenwei asked the military advisor, "How credible are the prime minister's words?"

Fang Wen recalled every detail of his meeting with Prime Minister Shi Cheng, "If you want me to say, this matter is done." Prime Minister Shi Cheng has been moved by me, if he is the king, there is a good chance that he will regard Jinpeng Fort as an enemy. ”

"I mean, it's not going to be a trap to kill people, is it?"

"Oh. Fang Wen often looks at things from the big picture, and thinks less about the details, so he thought carefully for a while, "He wants to usurp the throne, this will not be fake, so he asked you to be a killer, it should be sincere, but he has to prevent him from killing people afterwards and pushing the charge of killing the monarch on Daxue Mountain." ”

This is exactly what Gu Shenwei is worried about, no one is willing to bear the charge of killing his brother and nephew, if Prime Minister Shi Cheng turns his face, Daxueshan is in even more danger.

After dawn, Fang Wen went to see Prime Minister Shi Cheng on behalf of the Dragon King, brought a specific assassination plan, and put forward two requirements: first, Prime Minister Shi Cheng should write down his promise in black and white, and stamp two sets of public and private seals, and second, provide details of the guards of the palace, and the Dragon King did not want to have a little accident when assassinated.

Prime Minister Shi Cheng happily agreed to the second article, there are his henchmen among the palace guards, and he has already revealed the guards' patrol routes, handover times, and the location of the secret posts.

As for the first article, Prime Minister Shi Cheng was a little vague, the Dragon King could not fully trust him, and he was unwilling to give someone a handle too early, promising that once it was written on paper and stamped with a seal, it would be ironclad evidence of rebellion, and if it fell into the hands of King Shule, it would inevitably bring great disaster.

The two bargained like businessmen, you take a step back, I let a foot, entangled for a long time, and finally reached a compromise, Shi Cheng wrote down all the promises on the spot, stamped the seal, but did not give Fang Wen yes, but agreed to hand it over on the day of the assassination plan.

With one hand to pay the money and the other hand to deliver the goods, the plan of the king of Shule was thus decided, and the time was the second court meeting two days later, and the venue was the main hall of the palace.

Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Shenwei was not idle, and he was running around all day.

He went to Xu Xiaoyi first, and didn't say anything about the assassination plan, but just came to inquire about information.

Xu Xiaoyi got the news, Shangguan Tian lost trust in the prime minister, and he didn't give up, and immediately threw himself to the side of the ministers, Moyang was originally the opposition of Jinpeng Castle, but he became a supporter with Shangguan Tian's efforts, compared with the envoy of the Great Snow Mountain, he had a huge advantage, that is, he could talk privately with King Shule, Fang Wen is that even if the big truth is irrefutable, it is not against the subtle influence of the monarch.

Helping Prime Minister Shi Cheng usurp the throne really seems to be the only option.

After saying this, Xu Xiaoyi lowered his voice mysteriously, "There is someone who wants to see you, you can never think of who it is?"

Xu Xiaoyi showed a hint of pride, feeling that it was very rare to be able to stump Brother Huan.

"Shangguan Hong. ”

When Gu Shenwei said this name, Xu Xiaoyi was taken aback, "You...... How do you know you've seen him?"

In fact, it was Xu Xiaoyi who showed his feet, and his expression showed that the seeker was someone Gu Shenwei knew, coupled with a little intuition, Gu Shenwei thought of Shangguan Hong almost instantly, in fact, this was also the person he wanted to see.

Whether it is in Jinpeng Castle or in Shule Kingdom, Shangguan Hong's position is very embarrassing, he has been recognized as the son of Dubu Wang for several years, and he still has not won the title of Young Master, everyone regards him as a chess piece in the hands of Madame Meng, and it is an insignificant chess piece, occasionally taken out for a use, and immediately hidden after use.

This time he followed the second brother to Shule Kingdom, and he also accompanied him as a monitor, so Shangguan Tian was extremely cold to this younger brother, treating him like a slave, when he competed with the Dragon King, Shangguan Tian hid beside Prime Minister Shi, but Shangguan Hong lived in the Jinpeng Dart Bureau like everyone else.

Even the slaves didn't care much about this young man, and no one wanted to arouse the suspicion of the second young master.

This brings a benefit, Shangguan Hong is lonely, and no one pays attention to anything, so he can secretly go to see Xu Xiaoyi and ask to see the Dragon King killer Yang Huan, he didn't recognize this bearded person as the kid who ran out of Biyucheng, and always thought that the other party was the Dragon King's subordinate.

Behind the Jinpeng dart bureau is a narrow alley, there is a very small tavern, Shangguan Hong avoids everyone to drink here every day, he has been trapped by money since he was a child, and becoming the son of the king of Dubu has not changed this, the table is the cheapest bad wine, the only appetizer is a plate of peanuts, when he smacks the taste of wine, he thinks about Zhang Ji's words and deeds in the past few years, and let himself indulge in the fantasy of success and fame.

But this day is too far away, Shangguan Hong feels that the limit of his patience is coming to an end, Zhang Ji still keeps saying that the time is not ripe, and he must be obscure, the old teacher has been hidden all his life, and naturally he has patience, but he still wants to enjoy it while he is young.

The black, thin and slightly bearded guest at the next table had been chatting with the shopkeeper, and when the shopkeeper went to keep accounts, he probably felt that a person was too bored, and he came uninvited with wine and food, and sat opposite Shangguan Hong.

"What are you doing?" Shangguan Hong was already drunk, squinting his eyes, looking at the uninteresting guest.

"One person is not as drunk as two people, and if you get together, you won't be drunk. ”

There was a plate of fatty fish that was not eaten much in the dishes brought by the guest, Shangguan Hong was moved by it, and then secretly despised himself, if Zhang Ji saw him like this, he would definitely scold again, "That old thing." Shangguan Hong scolded in his heart, raised his chopsticks and poked at the fat fish fiercely.

Shangguan Hong happily ate for a while, and found that the guest opposite didn't move his chopsticks, so he pushed the peanuts on his side over, "You can taste it too." ”

The guest shook his head, "Is Mr. Zhang Ji okay?"

Shangguan Hong's chopsticks stopped in the air, his mouth open, and he suddenly felt ashamed, if it weren't for Zhang Ji's repeated insistence, he didn't want to see the killer Yang Huan at all, in his mind, this was Huan Nu.

His relationship with Huan Nu was wrong from the beginning, and he was no longer welcomed, he was also nominally the master, but he always took money from the slaves and did things for the slaves.

"Hey, it's okay. I didn't expect you to come today. ”

Gu Shenwei came as soon as he got the news from Xu Xiaoyi, he had been observing for a long time, and only appeared after making sure that there was no trap, and after seeing Shangguan Hong, he had the initial doubt, Zhang Ji, a hidden strategist, why did he choose the most incompetent son of Dubu King to assist?

"I hope you can bring me useful news. ”

Gu Shenwei's words had a condescending meaning, and Shangguan Hong felt a wave of anger in his heart, but the years of groveling in front of Mrs. Meng allowed him to hide his true emotions very skillfully, and he could even show a meaningful smile on his face, "It must be useful, but it is not suitable here." ”

"There is an ancient restaurant three streets away, have you ever heard of it?"

Shangguan Hong nodded.

"Half an hour later, go there to find a guest surnamed Gu. ”

Shangguan Hong nodded again, a sense of excitement swelled in his heart, Zhang Ji was right, conspiracy is the most interesting game in the world, secretly transferring and deciding the fate of all living beings is the true nature of the strong, and slashing and killing is nothing more than a tool for the strong to achieve their goals.

There is a secluded private room in the ancient rhyme restaurant, which is a good place to prevent eavesdropping, even so, Shangguan Hong still lowered his voice to speak, "Mr. Zhang said, the second young master must have different ambitions on this trip, the king lord secretly went to the north court, the eighth young lord descended to the Central Plains, and the second young master can only get help from Shule country, this visit, nominally to exterminate the Great Snow Mountain, is actually to borrow troops-"

Shangguan Hong made a slashing action, Gu Shenwei remained silent, thinking that there were fewer and fewer sons of King Dubu, but his ambition was getting bigger and bigger, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing for revenge, "You should say these words to Mrs. Meng and the king, you can make a great contribution." ”

"How can you talk nonsense? I have no evidence. Shangguan Hong was a little puzzled by Huan Nu's cold reaction, but Zhang Ji said that Huan Nu would definitely be interested in this, "Don't you still understand? Er Shao mainly borrowed the army from Shule State, and the first one to be damaged was Daxue Mountain, Shule must destroy you first and eradicate your worries before sending troops to attack Biyu City." Mr. Zhang said that friends and enemies are all things at one time and one place, and at this moment, we should form an alliance to deal with Shangguantian together. ”

Shangguan Hong was too impatient, and without waiting for the other party to respond, he said everything in his heart, and Gu Shenwei believed his words because of this, "What is Shangguan Tian's specific plan?"

"I don't know, but I've heard that he's hooked up with the chief minister named Moyang, and is plotting a plot against the Great Snow Mountain and Jinpeng Castle. ”

"What is Zhang Ji going to let me do?"

"Hehe, you're a killer, what else can you do?" Shangguan Hong lowered his head, a little embarrassed, and then looked up at Huan Nu, hoping to show a firm will.

Another murder plan with a knife, Zhang Ji wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the second young master and pave the way for Shangguan Hong's future, Gu Shenwei knew this, "I will consider it, this is Shule Country, I can't kill people casually." ”

Shangguan Hong didn't hear the meaning of the words, thinking that Huan Nu didn't believe him, and hurriedly threw out the last bit of information, "You don't want to kill, people want to kill you, the killers who came a few days ago haven't left, they have been living in the Jinpeng Dart Bureau, who are they targeting? It must be you." The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers. Zhang Ji said, if you and Daxueshan want to survive, this is the only choice. ”

Gu Shenwei heard "the only choice" for the second time in two days, and couldn't help but wonder if he really had only one choice.
