Chapter 249: A Toast in Return
Just when Zhu Mo was still in doubt, Han Bing said to himself again: "Don't say it's a nobody on the rivers and lakes like me, even Master Huinian, a well-informed person, didn't see the origin of those people.
But now that the people had died in the temple, he was displeased, but he still asked me to be responsible for finding out the identities of those people. According to this master's intentions, if I can't find someone to claim those bodies today, tomorrow Jishiji Temple will cremate them all. ”
When Zhu Mo heard this, he suddenly felt a little anxious in his heart. But he still didn't dare to fully believe Han Bing's words, so he asked with obvious tentativeness, "I wonder how Han Bing Gongzi plans to find out the identities of those people?"
Han Bing laughed and asked, "Why should I find out the identities of those people? If I find out who they are, Jishi Temple will definitely return their bodies to those who came to claim them."
In this way, their accomplices will know that I killed them, and they will surely come to seek revenge against me, and this is not asking for trouble?"
Speaking of this, the smile on his face was closed, and a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "What's more, I've had enough trouble lately! The people of the Yan family, the people of King Ji, the people of the Loyal and Righteous League, the forbidden army, and the dog eunuch Zheng Yong, all of them are fighting for my life.
They really think that Ben Gongzi is a sick cat, as if they are bullying him at will! I just want those mad dogs to know that if they offend Ben Gongzi, the final outcome will be to be bruised and scattered!"
Hearing Han Bing mention Zheng Yong, Zhu Mo couldn't help but move in his heart, and vaguely guessed the intention of this young man to say such a lot of words to himself today.
He should be waking himself up, Zheng Yong actually dared to go behind his back and privately called the Ouchi guards to do things for him.
In this way, the appearance of those Ouchi guards in Jishiji Temple makes sense.
What snatched the Buddha relics of the abbot of Huijue, they were simply sent by Zheng Yong to kill Han Bing, and the purpose was naturally to avenge his righteous son Zhao Zhan.
But why did Han Bing appear in Jishi Temple, and why did Zheng Yong choose to kill people in Jishi Temple?
Could it be that ——, all this is related to the pillar of the protector of the country?
In fact, Zhu Mo also has limited knowledge about the Protector Pillar.
Although the emperor trusts the Zhu family, due to the rules set by the Yin State Master at the beginning, only the holder of the Qiankun key, the current emperor, and the people related to the Dayu Jiangshan Sheji, are qualified to enter the underworld and see the Protector Pillar.
Therefore, Zhu Mo only knew the existence of the Protector Pillar, and escorted the emperor to the Jishi Temple to worship the Pillar. And he himself has never entered the underworld, and he doesn't know what that protector pillar looks like.
Therefore, although he suspected that what happened in Jishi Temple yesterday might be related to the Protector Pillar, he couldn't think of the real connection, so he could only continue to speculate wildly-
Could it be that those Ouchi guards who were killed were sent by the emperor?
But why did the emperor bypass himself and directly issue an order to Deputy Commander Chi?
No, it shouldn't be the emperor! Otherwise, it would be impossible for those big inner guards to have no special big inner waist cards.
In this way, it should still be that Zheng Yong, relying on the emperor's favor, who dared to do such a bold thing!
In the past, he only found that Chi Nian was very close to Zhao Zhan, but it turned out that he had obeyed Zheng Yong's orders!
Hmph, the last time Zheng Yong, the old eunuch, privately transferred the inner guards to the martial arts competition site to be the guard of his godson Zhao Zhan, and later he was angry with them because of Zhao Zhan's death, and he secretly executed them.
I wanted to investigate that incident thoroughly, but the emperor easily overturned it with a sentence of "pity the pain of losing his son".
And this time, this old thief surnamed Zheng actually intensified, and actually transferred thirty internal guards behind the emperor's back, and his intentions are really punishable!
Leng Yiqing had been watching from the sidelines, and saw that after listening to Han Bing's extremely arrogant words, although Zhu Mo was sitting there silent, the expression on his face had been changing, and he had even faintly revealed a wave of anger.
He, the left-hand minister with seven exquisite tricks, already knew at this time that Han Bing's trick to sow discord had already worked.
The emperor, Zheng Yong, and Zhu Mo seem to be in the same camp, and they are all enemies of ice, but the three of them actually have different thoughts.
Especially Zheng Yong and Zhu Mo, who are both people around the emperor, are suspicious of each other and fortify each other.
Han Bing is trying to take advantage of this delicate situation to provoke contradictions between them and make them chaotic.
Now that he has seen this, Leng Yiqing knows what to do.
He deliberately glared at Han Bing fiercely, and at the same time snorted coldly in extreme displeasure.
Then, he said to Zhu Mo with a smile: "I think there must be some misunderstanding in this." Although Gonggong Zheng is Zhao Zhan's father-in-law, he competes in the ring and concedes life and death, so he will not be angry with the cold ice for Zhao Zhan's death.
As for the assassins who appeared in the Jishi Temple, it should be someone else, perhaps an alien evil person who snatched the Buddha relics of the abbot of Huijue.
The dog is young and vigorous, and what he says is inevitably biased, and he asks Commander Zhu to bear with me, so as not to let Gonggong Zheng have any misunderstanding because of this. ”
As soon as his words came out, he had already identified those who broke into the temple as assassins.
Although on the surface, it sounded like he was openly extricating himself for Zheng Gong, but in fact, he had already linked Zheng Yong to those assassins.
Moreover, his last sentence alluded to the collusion between Zhu Mo and Zheng Yong, and he was worried that Zhu Mo would pass on Han Bing's words to Zheng Yong, or even simply conspire with Zheng Yong to harm Han Bing.
Hearing Leng Yiqing's mysterious words, Zhu Mo was of course very uncomfortable in his heart.
But he didn't have the heart to deal with this Lord Zuo Xiang at the moment, he just thought that he should find out as soon as possible whether the people who died in the Jishi Temple were his subordinates, and the various conspiracies behind it.
He arched his hand to Leng Yiqing, and said in a deep voice: "Zuo Xiang is too worried! Zhu is only responsible for commanding the Ouchi guards, and does not do the errands of those Ouchi secret agents. It's just that I heard Ling Gongzi talk about the attack on Jishi Temple, and Zhu must immediately report this matter to the emperor and find out the reason as soon as possible!"
As soon as the words fell, he stood up suddenly.
But just as his steps had moved forward a few feet, his figure suddenly froze, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly sat down again.
Seeing Zhu Mo's move, Han Bing's heart tightened slightly, and he sighed secretly, but there was still that kind of indifferent smile on his face.
At this time, Zhu Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his usually cold face, "Today, Zhu Mou came to the mansion of Lord Zuo for the first time, how can he be rude at will?
With that, he took the initiative to pick up the flask and filled the cold ice and his own wine glass.
No matter what happened outside, he had to complete the task given to him by the emperor first to confirm whether Han Bing was a Hidden Clan.
Although Han Bing had drunk two cups of poisoned wine, he still did not see any signs of poisoning, and he should have been able to conclude that he was not a hermit. But out of caution, Zhu Mo still had to try again to make sure nothing went wrong.
Seeing Zhu Mo holding up his wine glass, Han Bing couldn't help but smile slightly, also picked up his own wine glass, and said loudly: "Since the Lord Commander still has urgent matters to do, Han Bing will no longer be verbose, so as not to delay the time of the Lord Commander!"
After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and then turned the empty cup upside down in his hand to show that there was no wine left.
Zhu Mo stared at him for a long time, and finally smiled and drank the wine in his cup.
Then, he stood up, bowed his hand to Leng Yiqing again, and said, "Zhu Mou is disturbed a lot today, please forgive me Lord Zuo Xiang!"
Leng Yiqing also stood up and bowed his hand to Zhu Mo solemnly, "Commander Zhu is polite!"
Seeing this, Han Bing also stood up lazily, but his mouth came with an extremely cold sentence: "Lord Commander walks slowly, anyway, if you rush at this time, you can't catch up with your subordinates!"
Hearing his extremely explicit sarcastic words, a cold light flashed through Zhu Mo's eagle eyes very quickly, and he was about to say something to return the past, but he was suddenly forced into a cold sweat by a violent colic in his abdomen.
He secretly breathed a few breaths, and finally recovered from the extremely uncomfortable situation.
Leng Ran looked at the smug look on Han Bing's face, he gritted his teeth, and finally spit out: "Han Bing Gongzi, we will have a date later!"
Before he finished speaking, he strode out of the lake pavilion, but he stumbled slightly.
