Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 94, Hiding a Knife in a Smile
On the twenty-fifth day of the first month of the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, the time of the unitary, the palace of the king of Chu, the second floor of the Moyun Pavilion.
When it comes to the residences of the princes of Daqian, in addition to the East Palace where the prince lives, the mansion of the king of Chu is the most spacious and luxurious. There are dozens of courtyards in the palace, the whole palace is lined with houses, the pavilions are side by side, the treasure covers the heavy building, the eaves are warped, the blue bricks and tiles, the carved beams and paintings are built, the weather is very magnificent, it is like a shrunken Taiji Palace. In the back garden of the palace, a small lake was also dug up, the lake water was quiet and turquoise, the lotus on the lake leaked, the whole lake surface, the clouds and shadows of the sky, it was charming. Li Zhi, the king of Chu, also gave this lake a name, called "Quan Hu", which means "the people's heart is like water, and Quan Cha is in love". A small attic was built in the middle of Tsuen Hu, which was called "Moyun Pavilion". This Moyun Pavilion is surrounded by a large area of water, except for a small pontoon bridge that can walk to Tsuen Hu, no one can approach it every day. Yes, people are in the Moyun Pavilion, no matter how loud you are, no one around you can hear it.
Li Zhi, the king of Chu, usually likes to chant the wind and the moon, although he gave this attic such an elegant name, the meaning in his heart is nothing more than to create a secret place. At this time, he sat on the second floor of the attic, licking a fat round belly, leaning against the window, staring at the lake with a pair of eagle eyes, as if enjoying the scenery and thinking deeply. In the entire attic, there were only three people except for the seated King of Chu. One is Qin Jianxun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the other is Sun Xun, a thousand households of the Bei'an Ping Division, and another young man, who is twenty or six years old, and his body is as long as Sun Xun, and he is dressed very strangely and frivolously, and he is wearing a colorful hat on his head.
"Why did you still leave a living mouth?, can't you Kang family's poison?!" asked Li Zhi, the king of Chu, facing Kang Youren. He had just listened to Sun Xun's reply, and he was very unhappy in his heart. This is a foolproof plan, I don't want to end up like this, now the king of Wei, Li Jin, is not only safe and sound, but one of Sun Xun's subordinates was even arrested in the Tsing Yi Guard, how can he not be annoyed? !
Kang Youren hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, as long as the poison of my Kang family is entered, it will die immediately, and there will never be the slightest difference. This Diao Degui was arrested, I think he had the idea of being greedy for life, and he failed to bite through the medicine bag between his teeth in time, right?"
Sun Xun reprimanded: "My Sun Xun's subordinates are all dead soldiers, how can there be such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Diao Degui was cut off his right arm by Xu Ke, a thief, with a sword, and he was already in a coma at that time, and then woke up, and the medicine bag between his teeth had been taken out by that Cheng Wanli...... Ahem, ahem!" As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Xun coughed several more times.
Sun Xun glanced at Kang Youren again, his tone was very unkind, and he said: "Speaking of your Kang family's poison, I will be angry! What did you give me 'Seven Days Soul Devouring Scatter' that is used by a bird?! That little thief was beaten with two poisonous tribulus terrestris by me, not only was he fine, but he was like a living dragon and a tiger! Today, he slapped me in the edict prison...... Ahem, cough, cough ...... Where is the palm power of that thief, where does it look like half poisoned?!"
Kang Youren disagreed: "My Kangmen's 'Seven Days Soul Devouring Scatter' contains seven kinds of poison in the world and seven kinds of blood poison in the world. No one can solve the secret medicine in my door!......
"Unless what?" asked Li Zhi.
"Unless it's the Lord of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Murong Pavilion comes forward...... Kang Youren said.
"Murong Yuanshan actually has such a method, and it will also detoxify?" Li Zhi asked again.
Kang Youren said: "That's not it, no matter how clever his Tianbao Pavilion is, it is in vain to want to solve my Kangmen's poison...... It's just that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion contains the antidote to my 'Seven Days Soul Devouring Dispersion'. ”
Li Zhi asked, "According to what you say, it was the people of Tianbao Pavilion who saved that little thief? Could it be that Murong Yuanshan took refuge in the fourth child?"
Kang Youren said noncommittally: "This ...... I don't know about it, but I think that Tianbao Pavilion is one of the three pavilions in the world, but it is a big faction in the rivers and lakes, and it should not participate in the affairs of the imperial court...... But it is impossible to say that the poisoned person can be cured without medicine......"
Qin Jianxun next to him asked, "Gongzi Kang, Qin wants to ask, how could there be your Kang family's unique antidote in the Treasure Pavilion that day?"
Kang Youren said: "It's just because when Kang first came to Chang'an, he was entrusted by his father to go to Tianbao Pavilion to visit Murong Yuanshan. My father ordered me to propose to the lord of Murong Pavilion, but Kang's proposal was ...... in the middle was stolen by thieves, and it was Kang who showed his sincerity, so he had to give away two bottles of the 'Seven Days Soul Devouring Dispersion' antidote that he carried with him...... At that time, there were only these two bottles around Kang......"
Sun Xun on the side couldn't help but sneered and said: "Just you, a spotted dog, still want to climb the high branches of the Tianbao Pavilion! The daughter of his Murong family, he can't even look down on the name of Princess Jin, can he look at it...... You don't pee and take care of yourself...... Ahem, ahem!"
Hearing only the sound of "snapping", Li Zhi patted a small pear blossom wood table of eight immortals in front of him, and said angrily: "Sun Qianhu! How can you speak! When will you be able to change the stinky problem of scolding people with this mouth! You must know that those who have become great things since ancient times must be patient! What should you say and what should not be said, do you want this king to teach you! You spoke ill of you silently in the Nangong of Tsing Yi Wei Chao Nangong at noon today, and you fell into the handle, and now in front of this king, you are still so speechless! What kind of system! Kang Gongzi is a guest of my Chu Palace...... ”
Sun Xun had no choice but to bow his head and say: "My subordinates don't choose what to say, I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins!"
Kang Youren smiled and said: "Your Highness, Lord Sun is just joking with Kang, Your Highness must not be angry, and do not blame Lord Sun......"
Qin Jianxun on the side also said at this time: "Yes, yes, Yes, Your Highness, the big thing is important, Sun Qianhu has followed His Highness for many years, and His stinky mouth, His Highness is also clear." For the sake of today's plan, let's hurry up and discuss, what should we do next?"
Li Zhi snorted coldly twice, and asked Sun Xun: "Lord Sun, you left the disaster, this is expensive, you see...... How do I get it?"
Sun Xun coughed a few more times and said busily: "Your Highness, that Diao Degui has followed me for many years, and I also saved his life when I was handling a case in Jinan Mansion four years ago. His subordinates guarantee that he will never betray me......! Ahem, ahem...
... I had fought with my subordinates in the mouth of the West Gorge before, and I should have known the number of martial arts of my subordinates, and today I slapped my subordinates again...... The subordinates are worried, in case he tells the emperor secretly...... The subordinates heard that he was still ...... with the emperor cough cough ......cough cough cough
"Your internal wounds...... How's it going?" Li Zhi asked with concern when he saw that Sun Xun's face was pale, coughing incessantly, and he couldn't bear it in his heart.
"Back to His Highness, the injuries of his subordinates are not in the way, His Highness Xie cares! The subordinates were just slapped in the chest by Cheng Wanli, and the lungs were injured, so it was ...... I can't help but cough a little, cough cough!" Sun Xun hurriedly bowed and replied.
Li Zhi asked again: "That's expensive, do you know that this line of assassination is poor...... The person behind it?"
"This ......" Sun Xun said in his heart, you said that the person behind this must be the king of Chu. Although I haven't told him your Li Zhi's name, with their heads, no matter how stupid they are, they can guess who the mastermind is. He thought to himself, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
"Sun Qianhu, you must know that the best way to let a person keep a secret is to make him never be able to open his mouth......" Li Zhi said compassionately. As he spoke, he stood up and gently patted Sun Xun on the shoulder.
Sun Xun's heart was cold, and he immediately knew Li Zhi's intentions, he had to grit his teeth, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates are responsible for cooking!"
Li Zhi said: "Without further ado, let's do it tonight......"
Sun Xun said: "My subordinates will do it...... It's just that there is that Xu Ke ......"
Li Zhi said: "Xu Ke, this king will find a way to get it, and this expensive will be handed over to you!"
Sun Xun hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, your subordinates will guarantee their lives and will never let Diao Degui survive tonight!"
"Okay! you go......" Li Zhi commanded.
"Subordinates retire!" Sun Xun bowed again, and then walked down the attic.
"Wait...... Can you still send someone here?" Li Zhi asked Sun Xun again.
Sun Xun had already walked to the side of the stairs, so he had to turn around and say, "Your Highness, the subordinates I can trust in my hands are basically ...... It's all lost at the mouth of the West Gorge......"
"Let's go......" Li Zhi waved his hand at Sun Xun and let him go.
Sun Xun walked down the stairs, walked out of Moyun Pavilion, and walked across the only pontoon bridge on the lake. As he walked, a burst of sadness surged in his heart, and he just thought in his heart: "I will kill Diao Degui today, but I don't know which day, will your King Chu send someone to kill me?"
Because what the king of Chu said is very reasonable.
The best way to get a person to keep a secret is to make him never open his mouth.
Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, who let you Sun Xun carefully plan this assassination for his king of Chu, but in the end it ended up in vain?
It turned out that since the third prince was deposed at the beginning of the first month, Li Zhi, the king of Chu, as the eldest prince, thought that he must be the new prince. In addition, the officials in Beijing entered and exited the Chu Palace's mansion like a marquee, and the voices of congratulations were endless, and Li Zhi was even more complacent in his heart. Unexpectedly, Emperor Li Chongsheng issued another edict on the sixth day of the first month of the first month, adding two royal beads to him and King Wei at the same time. This edict stirred up a thousand waves in his heart......
Although in addition to the king of Wei, there was also a share of the king of Chu, and both his cronies and ministers of Chinese and military affairs were congratulating him, but Li Zhi's heart was quite clear, and what he said was "attentive to state affairs, working hard in the morning and dusk, raising money for disaster relief, and working diligently...... What kind of disaster did he Li Zhi give? How much silver did he raise? Isn't it all the credit of Li Zhen, the king of Wei? Although Li Zhi is a prince, after all, he has been with the old emperor for more than 50 years. He has some understanding of his father's temperament. Although each has two pearls, Li Zhi knows better than anyone who has the heaviest two pearls. Because of this, a huge fear was inexplicably born in Li Zhi's heart......
"Could it be that my father wants to ornate the fourth brother as the new crown prince?"
After having this thought, Li Zhi could not sleep comfortably and could not swallow food. After listening to Sun Xun's report, he was even more jealous and hateful to Li Jin, so he made up his mind to send Sun Xun to lead people to assassinate the King of Wei halfway.
This time, the sixteen marksmen and twelve kung fu masters led by Sun Xun were all capable generals who had followed him for many years, but he did not expect that in the battle of Xixiakou, the whole army was annihilated, and even he Sun Xun himself was also desperately affected by Cheng Wanli's palm and arrow, and performed wonderful light skills, so that he was able to escape.
Sun Xun returned to the mansion and recuperated, he thought that although the assassination of the King of Wei was in vain, the other party would not catch him alive, because the King of Chu gave him a batch of highly poisonous medicine bags beforehand, saying that it was specially sent by the eldest prince of Kangmen in Shuzhong. These highly toxic sacs are hidden between the teeth, and if they are caught, they can be killed instantly if they are broken on the spot. Among them, the "Seven Days of Soul Devouring Scattering" is a strange poison in the world, and those who fall into this poison are not spared.
But when he went to Tsing Yi Wei today, Sun Xun not only saw that Xu Ke was safe and sound, and he didn't see any poisoning at all, but also heard Nangong's silent interrogation of Diao Degui. As soon as Sun Xun heard the words "Diao Degui", his face immediately changed, and he was inexplicably frightened. After he got out of the edict, he lurked secretly, and then followed Xu Ke to the South Hall. Nangong opened the secret room silently and led Xu Ke into the tunnel, all of which were peeped at by Sun Xun, who was lurking in secret......
Sun Xun was both anxious and annoyed, and the most annoyed thing was that his entire plan was almost ruined in Xu Ke's hands. And this thief thought that he would be poisoned to death, but he was still alive and well, and he couldn't get along with him as soon as he was on duty, and he also put Li Junxian down......
Sun Xun naturally rushed to the Chu Palace, reporting to Li Zhiyu. When the king of Chu heard this, he immediately knew that this matter was not trivial, so he called his most trusted military secretary Qin Jianxun, as for the Kang family, although he had just taken refuge in his mansion a few months ago, but because he was from the rivers and lakes, the king of Chu was more at ease.
......
After Sun Xun left, Li Zhi asked Qin Jianxun:
"This is called Xu Ke...... Who the hell is it?"
Jianxun said: "This person, his subordinates don't know very well, I only know that the emperor seems to appreciate him very much, and, according to his subordinates, he is very close to Qiu Mingli and King Wei, and he should also be King Wei's disciple......"
Li Zhi said: "Hmm...... He is the fourth person, this is enough, since he knows so much, then tonight ...... Don't let him live. ”
Qin Jianxun said: "My subordinates will go and arrange ......."
Li Zhi said: "According to Sun Xun, this person still has some martial arts. You can't underestimate it, this time tonight, don't be like Sun Xun again, stealing chickens and rice!"
Qin Jianxun hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates have secretly summoned more than a dozen masters, all of whom are first-class generals in the army, and this time the quasi-guarantee is foolproof!"
Li Zhi groaned for a while, then turned his head and asked Kang Youren, "Xiaokang, do you have any good things here?"
Kang Youren thought for a while, and then said: "Your Highness, Uncle Zaixia's cousin just came to Beijing last time, but he brought some good things to Zaixia. Next, take out a 'thunderbolt lightning bead', with these beads, Lord Qin only needs to send a few people out tonight. This son guarantees that even if there are ten Xu Ke, they will all call him to pieces!"
Li Zhi nodded, and asked Qin Jianxun again, "Where does he live, and who else is in the family?"
Qin Jianxun said: "This person lives in Liquanfang, his house is not small, and there seem to be a lot of people living in it......"
Li Zhi smiled coldly, and then said: "You tell me to go down and let my subordinates do things cleanly, this time, don't leave anything alive......"
......
Two hours later, in the South Hall of Tsing Yi Wei, Sun Xun was dressed in black, wearing a black hat, and a black scarf on his face, and was tiptoeing forward...... With him, there was also a man covered in black clothes and a black hat, and a black scarf covering his face, but the man was five short in stature, but he was very short and fat.
The two walked lightly to Nangong's silent office, and the short and fat man quietly opened the door with a knife and opened the door. At this time, it was the end of the day, and the entire office was dark, and the people inside had already been on duty for a long time.
The short and fat man in black shook his head, and the two of them walked to a wooden cabinet by the faint light. Sun Xun opened the turntable in the wooden cabinet, and when he heard the sound of the machine stirring, a wall door next to it opened......
The short and fat man in black was about to follow Sun Xun into the secret room inside. Sun Xun stopped him outside the door and whispered: "Wen Yuan, you just keep guard outside, if there is any change, knock on the door panel immediately, I will know!"
The short and fat man in black is none other than the hundred households in the Bei'an Ping Division, Yang Wenyuan, who is called "Zhang Zifang" by Sun Xun on weekdays. At this time, the people around Sun Xun died and were arrested, and Yang Wenyuan was the only one who could really be trusted. He wanted to come over alone tonight to finish the matter, but what he was worried about was that if someone from the night patrol came here, he couldn't predict it under the tunnel, so in order to be sure, he still called Yang Wenyuan.
"Let's let the humble post go down!" Yang Wenyuan also whispered, and wanted to rush forward, but was still pulled by Sun Xun. Yang Wenyuan had no choice but to obey Sun Xun's arrangement, handed over the fire fold to Sun Xun, and watched him walk into the corner of the secret room, lift the plank, and drill down......
When Sun Xun walked into the tunnel, he suddenly turned back to Yang Wenyuan and said:
"Wen Yuan, if something happens to Sun, Sun will shout a warning, and you will run for your life after hearing it, remember!"
After seeing Yang Wenyuan nodding, Sun Xun tiptoed down. When he saw that there was a slight light in the tunnel, he extinguished the fire and walked forward dozens of steps, only to see a large iron gate blocking it, with a large iron lock on it. Sun Xun held the lock ring in his right hand, and with a "hey" sound, he slowly unscrewed the iron cable.
After Sun Xun passed the iron gate, he walked to the door of a house. At this time, the door was open, and the light was shining in the room, Sun Xun secretly took a breath of true air, raised a stick in his hand, gently pushed open the door, and walked in.
Sun Xun walked into the room, only to see that in this small dungeon, there was only a small bed and some miscellaneous items, and on the bed sat a man dressed in black, leaning against the wall. At this time, the lights and shadows in the room flickered brightly, and the face of the person on the bed could not be seen clearly.
"Diao Degui, Sun has come to see you......"
Sun Xun walked in slowly with an iron rod in his hand, and he condensed his right arm and wanted to smash it with a stick......
"Diao is expensive, Sun can't help it, who made you ......"
Before the word "you" could be said in Sun Xun's mouth, the man in black on the bed suddenly shot out and slammed his palm on Sun Xun's chest. This palm was so strong that it hit Sun Xun backwards for more than two feet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from Yangtian......
Sun Xun rolled on the spot, hurriedly rushed out of the dungeon, and tried his best to perform light skills and escaped. Sun Xun is nicknamed "Ghost Face", and everyone calls him "Ghost Sorrow", at this time he really felt like he had met a ghost. It's just that because that palm power is too familiar, I just ate this person's palm at the mouth of the West Gorge.
Sun Xun hurriedly escaped from the tunnel and walked into the secret room, but saw that it was dark in the secret room, presumably Yang Wenyuan closed the wall door in order to protect himself. He hurriedly lit the fire fold, twisted the turntable in the secret room, and heard a sudden sound, and the wall door in the secret room slowly opened again......
Sun Xun staggered out of the wall, but saw that the lights outside the secret room were already bright, and a red-faced man was standing in front of him like an iron tower.
"Shen Dudu......" Before Sun Xun could say these three words, he was slapped in the middle of his chest by Shen Huan again. Sun Xun's whole person was like a paper kite with a broken thread, and he was sent out far away. When others were in the air, they felt that their chests had been shattered, and their mouths were opened downward, and blood was flying like rain......
Behind Shen Huan, in addition to Nangong silent, there were also several powerful men standing. At this time, seeing that Sun Xun had already been captured, a short and fat man came out of it, only to see him smiling, bowing to Shen Huan, and saying, "Congratulations to Shen Dudu, you have caught the key criminal who assassinated Qincha!"
This person is none other than Yang Wenyuan, a hundred households of the Bei'an Ping Division.
