Chapter 33: Murong's Scheme
Seeing Dong Yumei's body lying to the ground, Ding Yu was still as calm as an old monk, and he didn't even blink his eyelids; although Zhang Baizhao's face was colorless, he could still calm himself; only Zhang Changfeng was so frightened that he couldn't help rolling back, whining in his mouth, it is conceivable that if his mouth was not blocked by a sackcloth, this cave must have been filled with his cries at this time.
With a sharp sound, Zhang Changfeng's shout stopped abruptly, and a copper coin dart was deeply embedded in his forehead.
Bao Changfeng glanced at his corpse in disgust, and said: "Lustful and incompetent, poisonous and brainless, cowardly and courageless, such a scum, living a little longer is insulting the name Changfeng." ”
After speaking, he turned to face Ding Yu and Zhang Baizhao, smiled at the two and said, "The first story is finished. The two men died plainly. Zhang Baizhao, do you understand?"
Zhang Baizhao swallowed and spat with difficulty, gasped a few breaths quickly, and calmed down a little, but there was still a trace of trembling in his voice: "Mr. Bao Si, the villain knows that he has ruined Mr. Murong's big thing, and the villain's death is not enough to atone for his sins, but now except for me, all the insiders of the Zhang family are dead, and the villain is willing to dedicate all the wealth of the Zhang family to Mr. Murong's great cause, and only ask Mr. Bao to let the rest of the Zhang family go." ”
Bao Changfeng stared at Zhang Baizhao and frowned: "Second Zhang, it stands to reason that your two brothers have served my family master for many years, and I should have agreed to your last request." It's a pity that this matter is too involved, and once it leaks a little bit, it will be a huge disaster for the great cause of the lord.
Moreover, do you really think that no one else in the Zhang family knows about that business? You have your henchmen, your brother has his henchmen, and there are people in the trading house who are responsible for transporting goods, and it is difficult to guarantee whether there will be a second Dong Yumei. So, I'm sorry, Lao Zhang, none of your Zhang family can stay. ”
"No! Bao Changfeng! You can't be like this! You are from the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are in trouble, and my family is innocent! Let them go, I beg you, let them go!"
For the first time, Bao Changfeng's indifferent face showed a trace of emotion other than mockery, he shook his head and said heavily: "I'm sorry, Lao Zhang, this matter was not a matter of the rivers and lakes from the beginning, this is the great cause of restoring the country, and there is no room for half distraction." When the Great Yan Kingdom is rebuilt, the Lord Guild will remember the sacrifice of your Zhang family. ”
"No! No......"
Bao Changfeng withdrew the right palm printed on the top of Zhang Baizhao's head, turned around a little lonely, was silent for a long time, suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to himself: "For Dayan!"
After speaking, he walked towards Ding Yu and said, "Duan Gongzi, it's your turn." ”
Ding Yu opened his eyes, looked at him expressionlessly, and closed his eyelids again.
Bao Changfeng did not lose his interest in speaking because of Ding Yu's coldness, he said to himself: "Speaking of which, I should actually thank you, you saved me from a regret."
Every time I kill someone, I try to make people understand it, but there are a few exceptions. The most recent one was about half a year ago, I was ordered by the lord to go to Dali Tianlong Temple to kill a little monk who was less than fifteen years old, I originally wanted to arrest him first, 1510 to understand, and then end his life, but unfortunately the little monk is too ignorant, even his own life experience is completely unknown, to explain to him why I want to kill him, I am afraid it will take a lot of lips and tongues. At that time, I was in a hurry to do another important task, so I had to make an exception, and while the little monk was collecting firewood on the cliff, I made a slap and knocked him off the cliff. ”
"It's you!" Ding Yu was finally moved, it turned out that the murderer who killed Seng Ke in the first place turned out to be Bao Changfeng! But why? At that time, Murong Longcheng should be planning how to rescue Duan Yingsi from Tianlong Temple, it was not surprising that he could find out the relationship between Seng Ke and Duan Yingsi, but why did he kill Seng Ke?
Seeing Ding Yu's surprised expression, Bao Changfeng smiled and said, "Yes! It was the one who pushed you off the cliff half a year ago." I was still uncomfortable for a long time, thinking that I had sent another fool to the city of vain. I didn't expect you to be lucky enough to survive. You can't imagine how complicated I felt when I saw you again in Tenryu Temple. First, I blame myself for not killing you by mistake, and second, I am happy that when I kill you again, I can make up for the story that I didn't tell last time. ”
Ding Yu let out a long breath and said, "I understand. ”
Bao Changfeng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you understand?"
"Understand why Murong Longcheng wants to kill me. ”
Bao Changfeng said with interest: "Duan Gongzi may be able to solve his doubts?"
Ding Yu said: "No problem, just pay back the story you just had." ”
"Actually, it's not too hard to figure out. When you first 'killed' me, I was just a miscellaneous monk in Tianlong Temple, and the only special thing compared to other miscellaneous monks was my background - the son of Duan Yingsi. Murong Longcheng sent you all the way from the Central Plains to Dali, of course, it was not to kill a miscellaneous monk, that is to say, he was targeting Duan Yingsi's son, or rather, he was targeting Duan Yingsi.
Soon after, you took great pains to rescue Duan Yingsi from the Heavenly Dragon Temple, which further and more showed that Murong Longcheng had a plan against him. And Duan Yingsi has two most valuable points, one is his martial arts, a family heirloom, and the second is his identity as the emperor of Dali. For Murong Longcheng, it was self-evident which point was more valuable.
A former emperor is worthless in himself, but valuable in that he has the qualifications to regain the throne, which is called 'legitimacy'. I guess this is the purpose of Murong Longcheng, to help Duan Yingsi return to Dali and put on a dragon robe. You boast of Murong Longcheng as wise and powerful, and it is not uncommon in my opinion, but you can learn from Lu Buwei's old wisdom, the profit of cultivating the field is ten times, the profit of pearl and jade is a hundred times, and you have won countless victories by establishing the lord of the country. ”
There was no longer a trace of smile on Bao Changfeng's face, and his voice was like frost: "The bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird!
The more he looked like this, the more Ding Yu confirmed his guess, and he sneered: "According to what you said, what your lord has asked for all his life is to revive the Yan Kingdom. So once Duan Yingsi regains the position of the lord of Dali, what he wants to do is nothing more than two things, first, borrow troops from Dali to expand the territory and lay a foundation for himself;
If you want to borrow troops, then Duan Yingsi has no children and no children at all, so there is no need to send you to kill me; on the contrary, if you want to seize power, then it is logical, my brother Duan Suren, who has never met has died a few years ago, and if you kill me again, Duan Yingsi's heirs will only be a baby imperial grandson, if Duan Yingsi dies 'accidentally' before the imperial grandson reaches adulthood, the imperial grandson will become the rightful successor monarch of Dali. Will Murong Longcheng be able to act as a regent in the name of assisting the emperor's grandson? Wait until he has a clear understanding of the dissidents in the court, and then simply seize the foundation of Dali and change the banner of Yan State! Bao Changfeng, can the poor monk guess correctly?" )
