Chapter 576: Helper
can make Kuo Zhen speak, Shou Lao actually doesn't have much credit, it's all the result of Bosang's efforts.
Posan was a native of the Western Regions, and he did not have that innate reverence for the descendants of the old Khan, in fact, he was curious about what was so different about these so-called divine descendants, that he could finally test on a genuine royal grandson.
He was not good at intimidation, nor did he have professional torture skills, and his methods were simple and brutal: he raised his fists, opened his bow left and right, starting from the head, intending to beat him all the way to his toes.
After a short break and a break, Posan felt that he had liked his new job, which was safer and more fun than dancing with a sword.
Bleeding from the eyes and nose, falling out of teeth, Kuozhen can bear it, and even scolds, claiming to repay the other party with countless kinds of punishments of the Beiting people, even if the words are vague, he will not admit defeat, and every time he describes a punishment, he must add a sentence, "I know you, Bossan, and Shou Lao." ”
Posan was stunned, and as long as the danger was not in sight, he ignored it.
When Bossan's fist went down to the waist, Kojin couldn't bear it, "I'm going to cut you all over the house, and I'm going to ...... you without leaving a single one."
If Bossan was an experienced executioner, he would have understood that the other party was on the verge of collapse, and those vain threats were just a last-minute struggle, but he didn't understand, and he didn't care, he rested for a while, got up and started fighting again.
It was at this time that Kuozhen conceded defeat, "Stop fighting, I said." ”
"Oh. Posan was a little disappointed, "I thought that the grandson of the old Khan King could resist a little more than others." ”
Kozhen has an important mission.
The Beiting cavalry was massing on the southern border, preparing for war with the Central Plains, this was the order of the old Khan, and all the nobles had to obey it, and the only ones they could stay with were thousands of guards.
Kuo Zhen was indeed "damned", and next, he should have quietly left the Dragon Court and headed to the south, leading his own army back on the appointed date.
The news of Kuo Zhen's fake death must not be leaked, outsiders can't understand the purpose of King Kuari's move, but those old and treacherous princes can see through it at a glance, therefore, Kuo Zhen wants to go on the road alone, but he bumps into Bo San, who is collecting information for the Dragon King everywhere, and when King Kuari finds out that his younger brother is not on the road, but disappears inexplicably, although he is anxious, he does not dare to send people to look for it with great fanfare.
This news was enough to shake the entire Beiting, but Bosan was indifferent, and beat Kuo Zhen hard, until Wang Sun completely relented and begged for mercy, he called Shou Lao to explain the situation.
Shou Lao was stunned, and found that he was being coerced by his former bodyguards, involved in the most terrible conspiracy of the Dragon Court, and he begged Fang Wen to take the root of the curse away, but was refused, and the Dragon King's camp was even less safe.
That's all the information that Fang Wen brought back.
King Khari's plan gradually became clear: Jinpeng Fort was responsible for assassinating the old Khan King and carrying the stolen goods to the Dragon King, and when the Dragon Court fell into chaos, Kozhen led his army to rush back, take control of the whole situation, and submit all the nobles to the smallest cost.
In contrast, the plan of the King of the Day and the Xiao Yan clan was still only the tip of the iceberg, and Fang Wen tried to find out the news as much as possible, but no officials and nobles were willing to deal with him, and ordinary Beiting people could only provide hearsay rumors.
In these rumors, Xiao Yan is not only a heroine who commands thousands of troops, but also an insatiable adulteress, who has had affairs with many princes of Beiting, and none of them can stand up to scrutiny.
Fang Wen didn't find out which Khan prince was particularly close to the Xiao Yan clan.
"This woman is not simple, since the day she married the old Khan, she has been constantly challenged and slandered by various forces, she has survived, more and more favored, and successfully established the impression of not interfering in the battle for the Khan's throne, almost no one knows his relationship with the king of the day, and many people still think that they are enemies. ”
Fang Wen was rare to praise a woman in terms of ability, and then asked the Dragon King, "What should I do next?"
"Say what you think first. ”
Fang Wen took a deep breath, "Get rid of King Dubu's granddaughter first, it is said that the old Khan King is already interested in her, but it has not been made public yet, this is the best opportunity to kill her." Don't be in a hurry with King Kuari first, let the Xiao Yan clan arrange for the Dragon King to meet with the Old Khan King, and only after getting the guarantee of the alliance will he move on to the next step. ”
Gu Shenwei's thoughts are similar to this, he doesn't have much choice now, whether he stays on the sidelines or escapes from the North Court, he will be charged with assassinating the Khan, and the only way is to involve himself deeper in the core of the conspiracy, and maybe there is a chance to fight back.
"I need someone who is familiar with the inside story of the Dragon Court, you can figure it out, no matter how much it costs. Gu Shenwei decided to end the current isolation.
Fang Wen thought seriously for a while, "The Great Sun King's subordinates are panicking, maybe someone is willing to earn this money." ”
Gu Shenwei's fingers tapped lightly on the scabbard, and he pondered for a moment, "No, looking for a target from the Kwari Palace, it is best to find a target from his side." ”
"This ...... King Kwari guarded his men more strictly than prisoners. Fang Wen didn't keep up with the Dragon King's train of thought.
"It is only among the prisoners that it is easy to come out with informers. Gu Shenwei suddenly remembered what Zhang Ji said to himself, the minions always calculate their efforts, and when they don't get a return, or the return is less than expected, the seeds of betrayal will sprout, "Try it." He said.
Compared with Zhang Ji, Fang Wen was too young, and he didn't see people's hearts so thoroughly, and after thinking for a while, he nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll try." ”
Gu Shenwei found that he had given the wrong impression to the military advisor, and added, "Although it is a try, it must be successful, and it must be fast, within three days, I will see this person with my own eyes." ”
Fang Wen is face was a little red, this was the first time that the Dragon King had given him a forced order, and he had taken the initiative to ask for help in the past, "Obey." When he retreated to the door, he felt that his guarantee was not clear enough, "If I can't buy a traitor from King Khari, I'll ...... Voluntarily retired and no longer called himself a counselor. ”
Although this is not as impassioned as "come to see you", for the military advisor, it is already a poisonous oath, and the word "strategist" means a lot to him, and removing it is almost giving up half of his life.
Gu Shenwei snorted.
The lotus girl came out of the corner, "You're not afraid that he has been bought?"
Fang Wen is not like the kind of person who is loyal and adheres to principles, Gu Shenwei trusts him, the biggest reason is that this military advisor is the same as himself, he is trying to survive in the cracks, and he has never been taken seriously by the powerful, even after the battle of the sea slope, even if he occupies the Five Kingdoms of Xiaoyao Sea and the Country of Xiangji, the situation has not improved much.
A defected killer, a down-and-out scholar, in the face of this combination, the princes of the North Court smiled contemptuously, when they needed close allies, the first thing they thought of was Jinpeng Castle.
Xiao Yan and the Sun King chose the Dragon King because they didn't have a choice, nominally this was an alliance, but in fact it was more like a hiring, and Gu Shenwei wasn't even sure that he would get paid.
"I wish someone had bought him, and the enemy would not make a move. ”
The king promised to send two men to assist the dragon king, and as soon as night fell that day, they arrived.
Gu Shenwei also left them a "secret passage", and visitors could come to see him directly without notice.
One of them was indeed a wild horse, and the other Gu Shenwei had also seen it, it was still in the camp of the King of the Sun, and the young man and General Zhisu were scrubbing the flame foals together, doing the work of ordinary soldiers.
"My name is Liman, the son of General Zhisu. He introduced himself first, with a kind and curious smile on his face, completely different from his father who looked like a black iron tower, "The two of us have been ordered to be dispatched by the Dragon King. ”
Liman and Mustang are both subordinates of the Sun-Chase King, especially the former, who cannot deny it at any time, and having the two of them participate in the assassination shows that the Sun-King will never turn his back on the Dragon King after the matter is completed.
Liman was not averse to this new identity that was close to being a hostage, he had only met the dragon king once, and his impression was flat, and he didn't think there was anything special about the pale young man, until the flame colt was stolen, and he realized that he had underestimated the dragon king, so he was happy to have the opportunity to work with the dragon king.
It is impossible for a wild horse to be happy.
He held the hilt of the knife with his only remaining hand, standing in the doorway, staring at the Dragon King vigilantly, his eyes that were very wide apart were expressionless, but the fierce murderous aura emanated from every pore of his body.
Liman felt the tension in the tent, and one of his tasks was to ease the relationship between the two, "I heard that the killer has no personal vendetta, anyway, we are now in the same boat, if we lack the least trust, I am afraid that the boat will capsize halfway through." ”
Mustang restrained his murderous aura and made a few blunt gestures, and Liman smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I don't understand. ”
Gu Shenwei understood the general situation, and it was the Dutch girl who made an accurate interpretation of this, as early as when she was in Jinpeng Castle, she acted as a "translator", "The day the mission ends, that is, the time of the decisive battle of life and death." ”
"I hope this time it's a little more enjoyable, one of us has to die. This is Gu Shenwei's answer.
The two did not have a deep hatred, but the hatred for each other became deeper and deeper, and it was especially difficult for Mustang to accept this union, he was also a killer, and he was also familiar with the methods of Jinpeng Castle, and he could complete the task alone without the help of the Dragon King.
The severed arm was his fatal wound, and in the eyes of the King of the Sun, the Dragon King, who had been hunted for many years and remained unscathed, was obviously more qualified than the wild horse to be a leader.
Although both of them were saying cruel things, Liman felt that the problem had been solved, "Time is pressing, please give the Dragon King an order." ”
"From this day forward, you and Mustang listen to her orders. Gu Shenwei pointed to the lotus girl.
Mustang didn't object, his impression of the lotus girl was a little better, and the hesitant was Liman, as a nobleman in the North Court, he had always despised women, he was separated from Xiao Yan by several layers, and he didn't feel obvious, but he always felt a little ashamed to follow a young woman's order directly.
"Good...... bar. His approval was reluctant.
The dragon king did what he said, didn't say a few words in total, threw the two of them to the lotus girl, and turned away.
Liman finally knows what it's like to be slighted.
"The first mission of the two of you is to assassinate the granddaughter of the Dubu King. "The Dutch Maiden has devised an assassination plan to make sure it has nothing to do with the Dragon King.
Liman was dumbfounded, it was originally the king of the sun who used the dragon king, how did he become the dragon king's subordinates who used the king of the day?
