Chapter 243: Life and Death (1)

The appearance of Yuan Tiandi completely aroused Kublai Khan's killing intent towards Zongzheng, and he was silent to Zongzheng, secretly planning all this.

Zongzheng knew that Kublai Khan would inevitably do something to himself, but he expected it, maybe he was also waiting for this day, even if he felt it, it was still the same as usual.

Until one day, Zhu Yunshi secretly came to Zongzheng's room at night, and looked nervous and persuaded Zongzheng to run away quickly, Kublai Khan had already killed him, and he would do it early tomorrow morning.

Zhu Yunshi put into Kublai Khan's command to serve, Kublai Khan did not know Zhu Yunshi's feelings for Zongzheng, this time the layout to kill Zongzheng, I think also called this group of foreign masters, perhaps, Kublai Khan is also afraid of Zongzheng's martial arts, in order to kill without leaving trouble, the natural layout is good, the arrangement of killers is good, but also to set up a few more insurance.

Zong Zheng was very grateful to Zhu Yunshi for this affection, he didn't think that Zhu Yunshi would take the risk to come to inform himself at such a critical time, remembering the situation when he first met her, and his feelings about her gradually changed a lot.

Zong Zheng wanted to tell Zhu Yunshi that he would not leave, but he was afraid that Zhu Yunshi would be overwhelmed and ruin her big things, so she perfunctorily told her that she would take the opportunity to escape in the middle of the night.

Zhu Yunshi looked at Zongzheng's handsome face, thinking about the past situation, and then thinking about the current situation, her heart swelled with all kinds of feelings, she liked Zongzheng, but this kind of love has always been buried in her heart, forced by the pressure of various situations, she can't pursue this kind of love, maybe there is helplessness and sadness.

Seeing that the words had been brought, how much peace of mind, more stay here, and I didn't know what to say, but despite thousands of words, she had no choice but to say "cherish" and disappear into the endless night outside.

Zongzheng did not leave, and the night was very long.

In order to completely get rid of Zongzheng without fail, Kublai Khan arranged four killings, the first kill, wine killing, poisoning in the wine, if Zongzheng successfully obeyed it, he would definitely die; the second kill, if Zongzheng knew that the wine was poisonous, he would kill the soldiers in ambush in the temple; the third kill, Zongzheng's martial arts were strong, if the soldiers were unable to kill, they would be surrounded and killed by foreign masters; the fourth kill, the Siyuan Venerable guarded the outermost periphery, once Zongzheng broke through the first three kills, then the Siyuan Venerable was the last line of life and death.

In fact, the Four Yuan Venerable can be arranged in the second kill, then the subsequent two kills are also omitted, because the Four Yuan Venerable makes a move, and Zongzheng will definitely die, but the Four Yuan Venerable insists on ranking them in the last line, because they are still worried about some people, among these people, Tuyuan Venerable and Zongzheng's senior sister are naturally indispensable, and then there are the five elders of the Beauty Valley.

Therefore, they must stay on the outermost periphery and block all of Zongzheng's powerful helpers.

The morning sun rises from the vast grassland of the Helin forest, the dawn pours over the palace of the forest, and the vast mist shrouded in the earth gradually dissipates, and the whole Helin is surprisingly quiet.

Just two days ago, the beauty valley lord received a quick report from the elders of Wugu, and learned that Kublai Khan was going to kill Zongzheng, she was shocked, she never thought of letting Zongzheng die, and he must not die, she couldn't understand how Zongzheng's intelligence would force Kublai Khan to the point of killing him, this matter was extremely serious, the impact was great, and she was a little panicked.

This is the first time she has never had anxiety, Kublai Khan did not mention the matter of killing Zongzheng to himself at all, and he was silent when he thought about it, plotting and preparing, that the Four Yuan Venerable Sect of Juxian Pavilion was absolutely unable to resist, even if he transferred the Wugu Elder now, I am afraid it will not help, even if he goes out in person, he will go to Helin, the road is far away, I am afraid it is too late.

She only had to repair a book, clarify the stakes, and pass it on to Kublai Khan in a fast line, hoping to send it to Kublai Khan in time, otherwise, the whole situation would be ruined.

Right now, she can't take care of much, and there is only one thought in her mind, "Zongzheng is absolute, and she must not die." ”

However, the killing situation is completed, naturally it cannot be stopped, and the killing intent faintly emanating from the Lin Palace, Zong Zheng understands, but this is exactly the result he wants, if he does not enter the tiger's den, he will get the tiger, some things want to be achieved, after all, he has to take risks, and after all, he has to pay some price, maybe he has already been prepared.

Liu Bingzhong was in charge of the peace negotiations with the Southern Song Dynasty, achieved great results, and sent back to the palace, which became an opportunity for Kublai Khan to celebrate his achievements, and also an opportunity to take the opportunity to kill Zongzheng, this matter had already spread throughout the military camp the night before, which made Zongzheng even more sure that Kublai Khan was going to do something to him.

After dawn on this day, Kublai Khan sent Zhang Hongyan to invite Zong Zheng to the Helin Hall to celebrate the banquet, Zhang Hongyan has always been good friends with Zongzheng, and Zhang Hongyan did not know about the killing of Zongzheng, perhaps, Kublai Khan did not want to arouse Zongzheng's vigilance.

Zong Zheng happily accepted the invitation, there was nothing abnormal on his face, and he followed Zhang Hongyan to the Helin Hall with a determined face.

The sun shone on the Helin Golden Palace, exuding a dazzling golden light like golden scales, and Zong Zheng stepped on the steps covered with red carpet step by step, occasionally revealing a smile of talking and laughing with Zhang Hongyan.

The breeze blew his cheeks, stirring his long hair hanging down his temples, and the wind was beautiful outside, but he didn't know that the air in the hall had already condensed.

Outside the hall is Nan Luo Xing and other foreign clans lurking secretly, Zhu Yunshi is naturally among them, when she saw Zong Zheng calmly stepping on the stairs to the hall, she was extremely surprised, extremely worried, "I told him to leave quickly, how can he return... Zhu Yunshi was chattering from the bottom of her heart, blaming, worrying, and nervous.

She didn't know what Zong Zheng was thinking, this was obviously a certain death, but why was he so stupid, it was really in vain to take the risk of telling the news in advance, but, why, Zhu Yunshi couldn't figure it out, but soon, she didn't care about her curiosity, and turned to be extremely worried about the current situation, and she began to worry about Zong Zheng.

Under the leadership of Zhang Hongyan, Zong Zheng stepped into the hall step by step, singing and dancing, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the inside was already very happy.

Seeing that Zongzheng had arrived, Kublai Khan went to dance the concubine, and Zongzheng came forward and politely met Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan let Zongzheng sit down, the position seems to have been arranged for a long time, it fell in front of the hall, look carefully, Zongzheng is surrounded by some battle-hardened generals, Fa Siba and Liu Bingzhong sat on both sides of Kublai Khan.

There were two squads of soldiers standing next to the pillar behind the seat, holding knives in the front row and shields in the back row.

After the dancing girl exited the main hall, the door of the main hall was babbled shut, and Zong Zheng subconsciously looked at the door, and he could already see the figure of the soldiers moving outside the door.

"Zong Zheng'an replied, I think you have also heard that Liu Xingtai and the Southern Song Dynasty have made great gains, in the final analysis, this is your credit, Ben Khan should give you a glass, come here, bring wine. ”

The inner chamberlain brought a wine plate, on which were two glasses of wine, and Kublai Khan took one first, with a look of gratitude and a smile.

The inner chamberlain slowly handed another glass of wine to Zongzheng, who looked at the glass of wine on the wine plate that was still swaying slightly, and he knew very well that the taste of this wine was definitely not ordinary.

He picked up the glass of wine and looked at Kublai Khan, "This is all the credit of Liu Xingtai, and Zongzheng does not dare to take credit." ”

"Why should you be modest, if you hadn't proposed this plan, Liu Xingtai would have nowhere to focus, come, you and I will drink this cup together. With that, he raised his glass and wanted to drink.

Zong Zheng also slowly passed the wine to his mouth, Fa Siba and Liu Bingzhong stared at Zong Zheng intently, they just watched Zong Zheng slowly pass the wine glass to his mouth, and Kublai Khan also subconsciously glanced at Zong Zheng through the gap.

Suddenly, Zong Zheng put down the wine and shouted, "Wait." ”

Out of instinct, Kublai Khan immediately put the wine glass on the table, and Fa Sipa, Liu Bingzhong, and all the generals present were immediately alerted by the shout of Zongzheng, and they subconsciously twitched the saber between their crotch with their hands.

The atmosphere immediately became awkward, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent, and the air seemed to be condensed.

"I have something to say before drinking this glass. Zongzheng's words broke the condensed silence.

Kublai Khan suddenly wondered if Zong Zheng was already alert, so his face was a little less serious and vigilant than the smile he had pretended before.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Kublai Khan was loud, and he seemed ready for a second kill at any moment.

"I thought it would be nice for a few people to hear what I was going to say next. Zong Zheng's words made Kublai Khan feel more and more uneasy, and he picked up the wine on the wine table and tossed his glass at any time.

"If you have anything to say, you can just say it here, they are all my close subordinates. Kublai Khan's words were a little more indifferent and sharp, his eyes were full of blood-red hostility, and anyone would inexplicably feel that something was wrong.

"Okay! The matter has come to this, we don't need to hide it, dare to ask the Great Khan, but have murderous intentions against me?" Zongzheng's rhetorical question was at least lonely, without half harshness and complaints.

Kublai Khan's rhetorical question to Zongzheng did not mean to retreat and hesitate because of personal feelings, and he generously admitted, "Yes." ”

"I am very grateful to the Great Khan for his honesty, I will not ask you why, in this case, for the sake of our fellowship and the many contributions to Mongolia, can you allow me to finish what I should say, at least I can walk with peace of mind. Zong Zheng pleaded.

Kublai Khan also wanted to know what Zong Zheng wanted to say before the time, so he agreed, his expression gradually eased, and there was no strong murderous aura before, and the wine glass was slowly placed on the table again.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"
