Chapter 490: Poison Scheme
At night, in the temporary capital of Cai State, Prime Minister Huang Fu stood at the top of the city, looking at the endless barracks in the southeast. Seeing the barracks, Huang Fu's expression was calm, but the lights in the distance reflected in his eyes.
There is the army led by Ye Weirong, the last commander of Cai Guo. Huang Fu tried his best, but Ye Weirong refused to hand over his military power.
In fact, when Ye Weirong stood in front of Huang Fu and solemnly stated that he would protect the country with his life, Huang Fu felt an indescribable humbleness in himself, and he couldn't straighten his back in front of Ye Weirong! This made Huang Fu even more angry!
Next to him, Xiang Bowen whispered: "You can let your majesty decree to deprive Ye Weirong of his military power in the form of an imperial decree!"
Since Huang Fu recommended Xiang Bowen as the commander-in-chief last time, Xiang Bowen has been bought by Huang Fu; or Xiang Bowen has seen Huang Fu's strength and has no choice but to attach himself to Huang Fu.
Xiang Bowen is also a military adviser, and his mind is relatively active. Right now, there is also a temporary cameo as a dog-headed military adviser.
Huang Fu turned his head and looked, "It's not easy for His Majesty to issue an edict. Although His Majesty is already... ahem... But His Majesty is not completely confused, and will not easily issue this imperial edict."
Direct spiritual transmission to Bowen: "Master Huang, let me tell you a little story about Zhao Guo."
"Please say."
He bowed his head to Bowen, and slowly told a "little story" through his spiritual consciousness. This thing is so... so...
After hearing this, Huang Fu's eyes gradually lit up! But even with Huang Fu's method, after hearing this "little story", he was a little terrified, and sweat oozed from the tip of his nose.
After Xiang Bowen finished speaking, Huang Fu finally couldn't bear it any longer, "Xiang Bowen, I only know that you are from Zhao State, can you tell me the specific origin?"
Xiang Bowen hesitated for a while, showing a bit of struggle, and finally sighed: "My lord, the so-called knowledge of people is to know the heart. Over the years, I have never done anything to endanger Cai Guo. My lord, Xiang Bowen To be a human being, one should have an understanding.
As for the past, the past is unbearable, please forgive me. "
Huang Fu's eyes flickered a few times, "Xiang Bowen, it shouldn't be your real name."
"The name is just a code name. Even if I change my name to Wang Laowu today, I'm still me. The past... let it pass completely!"
The corners of Huang Fu's eyes twitched unconsciously, and a "sincere" smile still appeared on his face, "I was reckless. Well, let the past go. From now on, let's create a beautiful and splendid Cai country together."
Smiling to Bowen, but said in his heart: Is it as beautiful and brilliant as fireworks?
Huang Fu went down the city wall, and soon a "seemingly ordinary" civilian was taken away. After some severe torture, this civilian "confessed". This civilian was a military spy who came to monitor the imperial city.
Was this so-called secret agent a trick? Really not! Huang Fu's work will not be so unstandard. In fact, there are too many such low-level spies. However, just having this start is enough.
This ordinary spy pulled out the "little leader" behind him, and the little leader pulled out the "centurion". The centurion is already an official officer.
Only half an hour later, under Huang Fu's instruction, a team of guards guarding the palace rushed to Ye Weirong with a confession, wanting to interrogate the captured centurion.
"Impossible!" Ye Weirong is not a child who doesn't understand anything. Although he doesn't quite understand what tricks Huang Fu is playing this time, it is obviously not a good thing.
The captain of the palace guards was very tough, "Marshal Ye, we respect your contribution to protecting the country and believe in your character. But in order to silence everyone, we ask the Marshal to hand over this person.
Dashuai don't worry, if he is innocent, we will naturally not wrong him. "
But at the same time, another sentence was not uttered, but everyone knew it well. That is—if he has a problem, I'm sorry.
But since Huang Fu made a move, he could find out the problem even if there was no problem. Ye Weirong understood this truth very well. As long as he is in prison, there is still a Mao's innocence to speak of. All kinds of means are suppressed, and the man who is hard will turn into soft fingers.
Ye Weirong was still hesitating, but the captain of the guard spoke again, his tone seemed a little mocking: "What? What is Marshal Ye worried about? Don't worry, we will report this matter to His Majesty, and the Marshal can also write to His Majesty to clarify the matter .”
Ye Weirong thought about it, but finally he could only sigh and let the captain of the palace guards take away his centurion.
But in less than half an hour, the captain of the palace guard went back and forth, "Marshal Ye, I'm sorry, the centurion just now confessed another commander called 'Luo Xin'. Please Marshal Ye will tell 'Luo Xin' 'Hand it over."
Ye Weirong's gaze suddenly froze, like the edge of a knife, "You were executed without reporting to His Majesty?"
"Hey..." The captain of the palace guards sneered, "Master Ye, why bother to ask questions knowingly. There is a saying that nights are long and dreams are many. In order to prevent some evidence from disappearing and for the safety of His Majesty, we can only work harder.
The commander-in-chief would not say that there is no such person as Luo Xin in the army, right? "
Ye Weirong squinted his eyes, "Officers above the commander-in-chief need to report to His Majesty. Take His Majesty's imperial decree, otherwise you won't even be able to enter the gate of the barracks next time!"
"Good to say! Farewell!"
…………
Under the same night, in the city of Anyang, the three of Yang Guo brought more than 50 elites to gather for the first time. The communication between the people is entirely through sound transmission with spiritual knowledge. Although the spiritual sense sound transmission can only communicate with three or two people at a time, but the secrecy is good, and it is enough.
Master Qinghe was the first to speak, "I called everyone here today because I have already made a decision. Tonight, act; I have already selected a target."
Marshal Wu Qianlin of Yang Guo and General Feng Wuxiang looked at each other and finally nodded. "Please say."
Master Qinghe took out two pieces of jade slips, "This is the information, I have recorded it all in it, and everyone will pass it on to read. In order to prevent mistakes, I will emphasize the main information once.
The selected target was an old man named 'Sun Ming'.
There are many considerations in choosing him.
First of all, Sun Ming is said to be Li Xian's first master when he first came into contact with the handicraft industry; now that Li Xian sees Sun Ming, he still wants to call him a teacher. What this means, I don't need to say more.
Secondly, Sun Ming is very old, and his cultivation base is not high, and he is the lowest among many targets.
Third, Sun Ming is now in the so-called retirement state of the Shang Kingdom. This old man likes to wander around, and there are few people around him to protect him, so he is very easy to attack.
Fourth, according to my observation, Sun Ming and Sun Ming may go to the Beidou City, which is under construction in the south, to play tomorrow.
Get ready everyone, tomorrow we will ambush halfway. The location is when they are about to enter the outskirts of the planned Beidou City, which is still a barren place, which is very conducive to escape.
Once we succeeded, we immediately left in three ways and gathered here at Mangshan Mountain in the west of Jin State.
Here in Mangshan, because there is a Mangshan cultivator present, fish and dragons are mixed here; as long as we enter here, we can completely hide our tracks. "
Everyone discussed the details again, and then quietly dispersed. The three teams were divided into different costumes and headed south quietly. No fear of being found out.
…………
In Cai Guo's palace, the lights were brightly lit, and Huang Fu was speaking in front of Cai Guo's emperor: "Your Majesty, Ye Weirong is dedicated to the country, and his loyalty is well known. Maybe...then Luo Xin is someone who was placed by the Shang Kingdom.
For Marshal Ye's innocence and to protect witnesses, I think Luo Xin should be arrested overnight to prevent accidents. Waiting for tomorrow, we will have a joint trial with hundreds of officials. "
Emperor Cai Guo nodded, issued the order and went to rest. The country's fortunes were declining, and the king of a country was the first to bear the brunt. Emperor Cai was dizzy and lethargic.
After Huang Fu received the emperor's letter, he immediately sent someone to the military camp to arrest the commander-in-chief Luo Xin and put him in prison. Ye Weirong was furious, but facing the emperor's order, he could only do nothing.
But it was said that after Luo Xin was sent to prison, he was immediately sealed to cultivate, and then he was knocked out.
"Quickly, set up the phantom array!" Inside the prison, Xiang Bowen suddenly appeared, surrounded by many practitioners, and everyone hurriedly set up the phantom formation. As for the original guards in the prison, they had already "rested early".
Besides, when Luo Xin encountered this incident suddenly, his heart was naturally filled with anger, but he was also frightened. But thinking of the Commander-in-Chief's instructions before leaving, I still feel a little certain in my heart. Military officers above the commander-in-chief will commit crimes only after the emperor personally interrogates them; before that, they may suffer some crimes, but their lives will certainly not be in danger.
But I didn't expect to be knocked out as soon as I arrived in the prison.
In a daze, Luo Xin felt the dim morning light entering the dark cell, and the faint crowing of a rooster.
Bang... The cell was opened, and a team of royal guards rushed in, tied a rusty iron chain to Luo Xin, and "led" him forward.
At this time, the sky was still a little dark, and the butter torches in the hall were blazing, making the high-ranking king look extremely majestic.
Huang Fu and Ye Weirong lined up on both sides.
Huang Fu took a step forward; but Ye Weirong's spiritual sense sound transmission was first transmitted to Luo Xin's mind - if you dare to confess later, I will kill your whole family!
Luo Xin was stunned, Marshal Ye, you...you...how can you talk like that...you talk like that!
At this time, Huang Fu came to Luo Xin with an amiable smile, "Luo Xin, we found out that you are monitoring the imperial city? Tell me, who told you to do this? Why did you do it?"
Huang Fu's words were very 'gentle', as if they were commonplace.
Luo News said that he subconsciously looked at Ye Weirong; what he saw was cold and threatening eyes!
Luo Xin shuddered, but still gritted his teeth and said: "We are worried that His Majesty will be killed by a traitor, so we have to guard around the imperial city day and night, just in case something happens, we can rescue him as soon as possible!"
Huang Fu suddenly changed his face, his face was hideous and terrifying, "Lie! Hit me until he tells the truth!"
The surrounding palace guards came over with a copper stick as thick as an arm, kicked Luo Xin down with one kick, and with two slaps, Luo Xin's feet were beaten into meat paste.
Ah... Luo Xin screamed and rolled over.
Several guards around came up to hold Luo Xin down, and a guard grabbed Luo Xin's hair and pulled Luo Xin's head up.
Huang Fu approached slowly, his face once again amiable, "Luo Xin, tell me, are you monitoring the imperial city? Are you plotting something wrong? Who told you to do this!"
Luo Xin turned his head with difficulty, and what he saw was Ye Weirong's cold gaze.
But Luo Xin still did not give in, trembling, gritted his teeth and said: "We are worried that Your Majesty will be harmed by traitors, so we guard the imperial city day and night, in case something happens, we can rescue you as soon as possible!"
Huang Fu changed his face again, "Lie, hit again!"
With two sticks down, Luo Xin's legs turned into meat sauce. Huang Fu asked again, but Luo Xin insisted; after being smashed from the waist down, Luo Xin finally closed his eyes.
Close your eyes... close your eyes...
Suddenly, a sound of cock crowing reached Luo Xin's ears, and Luo Xin sat up suddenly. It was already after dawn, and the dim morning light shone into the dark cell.
Bang... A team of royal guards kicked the cell away, wrapped an iron chain around Luo Xin's neck, and dragged Luo Xin out of the cell brutally, leaving mottled blood all the way.
"Did you just dream..." Luo Xin suddenly understood. Sure enough, it was the previous encounter later.
again and again……
Five times... ten times... Luo Xin gradually couldn't take it anymore! The eyes have begun to dull, and the spirit has begun to collapse. Reality and fantasy are already indistinguishable.
…………
At dawn, when the gate of the imperial city opened, Ye Weirong, who had been waiting outside the imperial city all night, walked into the imperial city without hesitation.
Ye Weirong understood that Huang Fu must have made all the preparations, and this trip to the imperial city might become a road of no return. However, Ye Weirong still made great strides into the imperial city.
When he came to the main hall, Ye Weirong saw Huang Fu's bright smile and Emperor Cai's hazy eyes.
Seeing Ye Weirong coming, Huang Fu immediately said, "Come here, go and bring Luo Xin here."
(It’s too childish to be tortured into a trick or something. This trick is still used by the US military. Lament for such a method, let’s bury it with a monthly ticket O(∩_∩)Oha!)
