Chapter 4 Beiling Palace

Lu Yunli spoke again, this time to a dead person: "I have been practicing swords for the past five years, and I have only practiced one move, a move that can kill people." Over the years that I have followed you, I have also secretly investigated clearly, my father is conspiring with you to take Bingma County, but the premise is that you must kill the King of Beiling first. At that time, the king of Beiling was at odds with my father, and he was already secretly looking for someone to attack, and my father would recruit unknown people at any time. I had no choice but to join forces with you, but with your strength at the time, even if you had my father as an internal response, you couldn't be 100% sure of killing the King of Beiling, and my father's real intention was to let you and the King of Beiling lose both and reap the benefits of the fisherman, so that Bingma County could still hold on, and the two of you would be greatly injured, maybe one of them would die in battle. But this wishful thinking was seen through by you, and you also realized that even if you killed the King of Beiling, my father would not give away Bingma County, so you bought someone to denounce my father, and my family was ruined. You arranged all the people who attacked me on the grasslands, and you lied to them that we had thousands of gold, silver and jewels. You also wanted to kill me at that time, but you had already heard that I was smart since I was a child, so you kept me by your side for your use. The king may not know that there is a saying in the Central Plains, which is called raising tigers for trouble. My father lost his life for Bingma County, how could I let you succeed. ”

Lu Yunli said as he took off the four rings on Zabusu's hands and the gem-encrusted scimitar at his waist. Then he took out a dagger, cut off his head, and wrapped it in an oilcloth that had been prepared long ago, so that the blood stains would not be discovered. Move the body of the blue wolf king to the bed, cover it with a quilt, make it into a sleeping position, and then cover the blood stains on the ground with a thick carpet. Finally, change out of your bloodstained clothes.

When he had done this, he blew out most of the candles, leaving four of them, and the light dimmed a lot. He opened the door of the tent, went out, and said to the chief guard outside the tent, "The king is sleepy, and he is asleep, so no one is allowed to disturb him." ”

The chief of the guards nodded again and again, these guards have been by the side of the Blue Wolf King all the year round, and they all know that Lu Yunli is an important military advisor of the Blue Wolf King, and they often accompany him, and they have no doubts.

Lu Yunli took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to the chief of the guard and said, "The king works day and night, you people must take care of it wholeheartedly" The chief of the guard nodded yes.

Lu Yunli: "Prepare a good horse for me, the king told me to rush to Bingma County overnight." ”

The head of the guard asked the guards around him to take Lu Yun to pick up a horse in the horse pen, and after choosing, he turned over and got on the horse, walked out of the barracks without hurry, and went all the way to the south, still without hurrying, the soldiers knew that Lu Yunli was the military advisor of the Blue Wolf King, and they did not stop the inquiry. Seeing Lu Yunli slowly disappear into the dark night.

Lu Yun was a mile away from the Blue Wolf King's camp, gradually accelerated, and galloped south.

The drizzle in the north is even colder, even in May, it is so cold. Lu Yunli wore a hat and a robe, rode a horse in the northern Xinjiang fortress Bingma County, and walked slowly through the familiar and unfamiliar streets. He found a humble inn, fed himself, settled his horses, and hid the four rings and the scimitar in a very secret place on the beams of the house. Carrying the oilcloth bag containing Zabusu's head, he walked out of the inn and walked alone into the street, heading straight for the military camp in Bingma County.

There were two guards at the entrance of the barracks, and one of the guards saw Lu Yunli stop in front of the gate, so he shouted: "Get out, get out, do you know where this is!

Lu Yunli threw the oilcloth bag in his hand at the doorman, and said loudly: "Give this cloth bag to you Wang Duwei, go quickly, military emergency, I will wait here." ”

The doorman was still hesitating whether to run errands for such a confused guy, and when he was still pacing, Lu Yunli said sharply: "This matter is related to the danger of the country, you are hesitant here, you have delayed the opportunity, and a hundred heads are not enough!"

The doorman staggered in the door, and after a while, he saw a slender and tall man walking out quickly, looking at Lu Yunli with both eyes, and said incredulously: "You really did it, I thought you were just talking crazy things." ”

Lu Yunli: "Wang Duwei, it's very cold outside, can you go in and have a fire?"

This king's name is Wang Rong, and he is the captain under the banner of the king of Beiling, leading 5,000 soldiers. A month ago, Lu Yunli found out about Wang Rong's situation, and knew that he would bring his friends to this teahouse every month to listen to the play, so he deliberately waited for him here. After Wang Rong and Xianghao finished listening to the play, they would go to Wanfu Building on the side for dinner, and Lu Yunli took this opportunity to write an unsigned letter and handed it to Wang Rong through the shopkeeper. Wang Rong opened the letter and wrote, "I have a way to kill the Blue Wolf King, Du Wei wants to hear it, go to the Tianzi private room on the third floor, and we will talk about it in detail." Wang Rong quietly took the letter well, accompanied Xianghao to finish the meal, and asked someone to send him home, and then got up and walked to the Tianzi private room on the third floor. Lu Yunli was not angry because Wang Rong came late, and he didn't say anything politely, only told him that he had a way to take the head of the Blue Wolf King Zabusu. Wang Rong only thought that this was a foolish person, so he casually promised Lu Yunli that if he could come back with the head of the Blue Wolf King, he would help introduce him to the King of Beiling.

Today, Wang Rong didn't expect that this person could really bring back the head of the Blue Wolf King.

Wang Rong hurriedly invited Lu Yunli into the barracks and sat down in the hall. There is a large brazier in the middle of the hall, and the charcoal fire is very warm. May in the north is still cool, and if it rains, it can be very cold.

Lu Yunli: "Wang Duwei, today I came back with the head of the Blue Wolf King as agreed, I don't know when I will be introduced to the King of Beiling?"

Wang Rong: "I really didn't expect you to be able to do it, eat first and I'll take you to see Lord Kong, the king of Beiling, after eating." But there's one thing we need to negotiate first. With that, Wang Rong instructed the servants to arrange food and drink.

Lu Yunli asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Rong lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "King Beiling really thinks day and night about taking the life of the Blue Wolf King to the Son of Jincheng, but this credit was robbed by you, and King Beiling doesn't know whether he is happy or angry. ”

A trace of worry flashed on Lu Yunli's face, but he quickly calmed down: "Since the King of Beiling wants to give this head to the Son of Jincheng, I will present it in the name of the King of Beiling's subordinates, how about it?"

Wang Rong nodded and said, "This is the best, Mr. Lu, this is a great achievement, maybe the King of Beiling will make you a big official." One day in the future, don't forget my brother. ”

Lu Yunli: "That's for sure." ”

Wang Rong planned in his heart: although he was a captain, he was still under the command of the King of Beiling, and he would first please the King of Beiling. said with a smile: "Mr. Lu gave me the head of the Blue Wolf King, and I personally sent it to the King of Beiling." ”

Lu Yunli: "I'll go with you." After that, without waiting for Wang Rong to answer, he got up and walked out.

Wang Rong had no objection and called four entourages to go to the Beiling Palace.

The six of them rode horses, facing the slightest drizzle, and arrived in front of the palace gate in a short time. The bright red wall is one zhang high, there are countless spikes on the wall, the dark gate, closed tightly, there are more than 20 guards at the gate alone, holding spears, sabers at the waist, carrying bows and arrows, shining armor, all this makes people feel that it is two words "majesty".

Wang Rong said loudly to the head of the guards: "Brother Zhang helped inform the prince, saying that Wang Rong has something important to report, and this package is the head of the blue wolf king." So saying, he dismounted, strode forward, and handed the doorman the oilcloth wrapped in the head of the blue wolf king. The doorman's name was Zhang Evil, who had an evil face, took the package, and knocked lightly on the dark door three times, and a small hole in the door opened, and a round face stretched out from it, smiling closely. Zhang Xie said: "I don't know if the prince has official business now, you go and report it, and Wang Duwei asks to see him." "Hand in the package and close the door.

The cold and biting drizzle still didn't stop, and after waiting for a long time, a smiling face stretched out: "The prince is invited." ”

Zhang Evil took Wang Rong inside, and Wang Rong introduced Zhang Evil: "This is Mr. Lu, the head he brought the Blue Wolf King, and he should enter with me." ”

Zhang Evil thought for a moment and agreed, handed over his weapon outside the gate of the palace, and followed Zhang Evil into the dark gate.

Entering the palace is another piece of world, pavilions and pavilions, more than 100 rooms, corridors and loops, like a labyrinth, rockery and ancient trees, strange stones stand in a forest, surrounded by mountains and waters.

Lu Yunli looked around left and right, and thought to himself, "Good and generous, worthy of being a descendant of the four founding heroes, supporting 100,000 troops, and guarding the Beiling Mansion in Beisai for generations." ”

Facing the rockery, there is a large hall, and the charcoal brazier is placed in the middle of the hall and at the four corners, and the charcoal fire reflects the oily floor. There were two people sitting in the warm hall, a white-bearded old man and a man about forty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in loose robes, sitting cross-legged with the old man, this man was Kong Hao, the king of Beiling.

Zhang Xie reported forward, only to see King Beiling's eyes staring at Lu Yunli like an eagle, as if he could see through a person's heart.

Lu Yun had already had hatred in his heart, but he couldn't show it now, seeing Kong Hao looking directly at him, he didn't show weakness, and his eyes looked directly at Kong Hao.

The old man spoke first: "This young man is the one who offered his head, if it is really a hero out of a young man, come and come, sit inside." ”

Zhang Wei retreated, and the two of them went straight into the hall and sat cross-legged.

Kong Hao sat upright and introduced Lu Yunli: "This is my mentor, Mr. Tian Zihua. I am the owner of this humble house, Kong Hao. ”

Wang Rong hurriedly bowed: "The teacher is above, and he is worshiped by the juniors." Kneel down and bow, and Lu Yunli also bowed.

After worshipping, Wang Rong introduced: "This is called Lu Yunli, and the head of the Blue Wolf King was brought by him." ”

Tian Zihua's originally dim old eyes suddenly stared at Lu Yunli sharply, and said: "You have taken the head of the Blue Wolf King in the million army, and you can retreat with your whole body, I think you are a top master." As he spoke, his eyes peeked at Lu Yunli's hands.

Lu Yunli said with a smile: "If it weren't for the help of many friends, it wouldn't have been able to do this big thing. The blue wolf king is easy to dabble, and I bought the time and place with a lot of money. The blue wolf king is very competitive, often rushing alone in the front, we ambush well, just waiting for him to ride in front of the attack, there is a person in my group known as the world's fastest knife, out of the knife to collect the knife to grab the head of the person is just a moment. The fast horse has already been prepared, so it can be retreated. I am a weak scholar who only gives advice. ”
