Chapter 60: Conspiracy
Chapter 60: Conspiracy
"Are you saying that King Miao said that the new Han man found out about you buying poison and cups for others?" the man dressed as a wizard looked at a sturdy man and asked a little puzzled, he asked with a suspicious expression.
"I sent my men to King Miao's mansion to find out the news, and my subordinates heard what King Miao said with their own ears, it shouldn't be wrong, what do you say, great wizard?" The man showed an anxious look on his face, and there was an anxious look in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked the person dressed as a wizard.
The wizard-dressed man was not in a hurry, he turned around, his lips closed, his hands behind his back, and walked up and down the room, as if thinking about something.
The sturdy man is dressed in a Miao suit, the clothing is made of silk and satin, which can only be worn by people with respected status in Miao Jiang, his square face, high nose bridge, bronze skin gives people a very strong feeling, he is indeed a very strong person, with thick arms, very tall, and a body as strong as a cow, which makes people see it as if they see a bear.
But at this moment, he rubbed his hands together, clenched his teeth, and watched the man dressed as a wizard pacing around the room unhurriedly, his heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he didn't dare to interrupt the wizard's train of thought, just a pair of eyes revolving around the wizard-like person, hoping that he could come up with a good solution.
The wizard-looking man walked for a long time, and suddenly stopped, he slowly opened his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "There are two ways to go now, one is that you go to King Miao and surrender." Let's just say that I was greedy for money for a while, and I bought the Han people with worms and poisons, and I resisted them all, but then you may never be able to gain a foothold in Miao Jiang again, and the best outcome is to be expelled from Miao Jiang, and I can beg for you from Miao Wang, he will not kill you. What do you think?" he looked at the sturdy man with his eyes after speaking, and there was no expression on his face, which was as plain as water. The great wizard said with a white robe and a thin body. The face is full of wrinkles. It's just a little long beard at the chin, and his eyes are shining as if he can see through a qiฤ. The eyebrows are also white, and the hair is as white as snow.
"How can this work, Great Wizard? If only you could help me ascend to the throne. I will fulfill my promise. Now, if King Miao knew that I had bought something from the people over there, wouldn't the throne be impossible forever? I had been expelled, so what chance would I have to ascend to the throne? Besides, you asked me to bring the cup worms and poison to the people over there, but now that something has happened, you can't just ignore it? Great wizard, we are grasshoppers on a rope, I can't run, and you don't want to get better. Let's think of another way, don't you have another way?" The man began to be a little anxious, and said that he was a little threatening at the end, and he was about to turn his face. He looked at the man dressed as a wizard with disgruntled displeasure on his face.
"You seem to care about this throne very much, in fact, you have to bear it, you still have a chance to return to Miao Village, and you also have a chance to become the king of Miao, just be wronged for the time being, you can carefully consider my builder. The wizard-like man was still unhurried, unhurried to persuade the sturdy man.
"Don't say it, I won't leave Miaojiang, if I want to leave Miaojiang unless I die, but if I die, I'll take you with me, let's die together, and see who gets the cheapest." The sturdy man said angrily, and he looked at the wizard impatiently, walked to the table, and took a cup of tea and drank it, but he drank it too quickly, and was choked, and he couldn't stop coughing.
"You are always too impatient, no wonder your father said that you can't achieve great things, impatience is easy to make mistakes. The wizard-like man shook his head and looked at the sturdy man.
"Don't mention my father, he asked you to take care of me when he was dying, how did you take care of me now, and let me turn myself in? That's how you took care of me, that's what you promised my father?" he coughed as he spoke, his voice getting louder and louder, and finally he roared a little. Fortunately, it is far away from the surrounding people, and it is not afraid of being heard.
The old man in white frowned, looking at him a little uncontrollable, with a sad expression on his face. He sighed and said: "In fact, there is a second way, but once this road is gone, there is no possibility of turning back, now if we take this road, then we will both be implicated, once we fail, our best outcome is to escape from Miao Jiang, otherwise what awaits us is definitely death, and it is a tortured death." The question is, are you ready to accept this result, can you accept the outcome of the winner is king, and the loser is the winner? I don't care, the question is, can you?" the wizard-like man suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, and he stared at the sturdy man, expecting his answer.
"Don't say it, I've already chosen, don't buy it, no matter what the method, as long as there is a slight chance to ascend to the throne of King Miao, I will work hard to fight for it, and I will not regret being killed in time." The sturdy man stared into the eyes of the wizard-like man, and said without hesitation, his face resolute, as if he had made up his mind.
The wizard-like man sighed, walked up to him, and muttered a few words into his ear, and the sturdy man immediately jumped up, and looked at the wizard-like man and said in surprise: "What, does it have to be like this?"
The wizard-looking man sighed, watched the sturdy man walk out, and then slowly walked to a desk, sat down, he opened a drawer, which was actually full of large bones, he picked for a long time, found a round tortoise shell, clamped it with an iron tong, and slowly roasted it next to the brazier, the flames in the brazier roasted the tortoise shell squeaked, he looked very carefully, until the tortoise shell had a burnt smell, he took the tortoise shell out of the brazier, looked at the tortoise shell, closed his eyes and prayed for a while, and then fell on the ground, the tortoise shell was divided into several pieces, and he picked up the tortoise shellLooking at the lines on the tortoise shell, he put the tortoise shell on the desk, and slowly drew the pattern on one sheet with a brush. Gradually, a pattern map appeared in front of him, he looked at the pattern map, and suddenly said, ", three yangs on the top, two yang and one yin on the bottom, the hexagram is changed from dry to home, and the correct solution is to return to the sister, which is not conducive to traveling far away and not returning." He smiled a little, rolled up the paper with his hand, and threw the tortoiseshell and paper into the brazier, which immediately burst into flames, and he smiled strangely as he looked at the flames.
Murong Chen stood on the bamboo tower on the third floor, looking at the watchtower, this watchtower is surrounded by four watchtowers and a wall, his bamboo house is in the middle of this wall, and it is also the middle of the Miao Wangfu, and it is also the safest place, but he still can't sleep a little, maybe there are too many things that are too weird, so he is a little worried, so he stayed in the Miao Wang's room for a long time, but the Miao King was really drunk, and he couldn't listen to a word, he waited for a long time, and he didn't talk to him, so he had to tell Mo Ran his worries, and then he was taken to this place by Mo Ranใ But Mo Ran didn't seem to care, he was a little anxious, looking at the watchtower outside the house, he was pacing around the house, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Murong Chen asked.
"I was instructed by the young lady to bring you water for washing. A crisp voice came, it was a woman's voice.
Murong Chen walked over and opened the door, only to see a woman walking in with a basin of water in one hand and a basket in her other hand, which was full of things for washing. As soon as the woman walked in, she poured water into the two wooden basins on the shelves in the corner, then scooped some water from the water tank next to her and mixed it together, then tested the water temperature with her hands, and then said to Murong Chen, "Childe, you can wash it." โ
Murong Chen walked over, he pulled up the clothes on his hands, and cleaned his face with his hands, when he picked up a towel to wipe it, he suddenly felt dizzy, he secretly screamed badly, but he didn't have time to control his internal strength and breath, he fell down, he fell down, looked at the woman and looked at him with a smile, bent down and pulled out a snowy dagger from his boots, and stabbed at him.
