Chapter 2056: Assassinate King Ning

It can be said that King Ning is in a very disadvantaged position now. Now that he is on the road, he has already left his fief. The ones in the capital can be said to be good in their own territory, but they are nothing if they are outside their own territory. The local officials along the way have also clearly distinguished them. Although they will not come to provoke themselves, they will definitely not I can manage my own affairs, and I have to rely on myself for everything. Even if I want to control the affairs in the capital, it is not so simple. These official files are lost again. It was all for outsiders to see, but suddenly King Ning seemed to have thought of something.

"What is this place?" King Ning came out and asked, looking around, he saw that it was the same everywhere, and his servants also didn't understand. Those who will ask this, just keep walking, anyway, sooner or later they will reach the capital, no matter where they go, those local officials will not come out to say anything to King Ning.

"If you go back to the lord, you have already arrived in the province of Qwe. We have just entered less than 30 miles, so we haven't seen the city yet. Did the lord have an order?" The head quickly ran over and said, the governor here is different from the governors in other places. This is the servant of the palace itself. Even if others don't come to welcome the prince, he will definitely come. This guy used to be One of the servants of the six yamen in the capital, if it wasn't for the fact that the prince valued this guy a hundred years ago. It is impossible for him to come to the current governor's seat.

The Eastern Empire also has such rules. You may only have one master in your life. Although on the surface you have already lost your hometown as a slave, it is not the same thing in essence. No matter when it comes, as long as you It is your master who helped you, you will be your master's person for the rest of your life, the one who controls your life and death, and the slave will be a slave for the rest of your life, no matter what stage you are. Your master will be your master after all. This is a very normal thing, everyone in the world does that. I thought that King Ning would be very happy when he heard this, but he didn't expect it to be so simple. King Ning's expression changed suddenly.

"Strengthen your defenses. Something might happen. All of you, be alert to me. Don't rest on the road. Tell them to go ahead and prepare some food. Try to get out of this province in three days. "The prince's words directly stunned the people below. They have spent the past few days on horseback. Thinking about it, they should be on their own territory now. Shouldn't they take a good rest? Why do you have to pass quickly again now? What is the prince thinking in his head? Was he frightened by His Majesty's imperial decrees one after another? This is on his own territory. Are you still afraid of something happening?

"My lord, Mr. Liu sent soldiers here early in the morning, saying that he will see you soon, isn't this..." the guard said in a bit of a dilemma. After all, this is the governor of a province. You don't need to pay attention to such a person. If you are happy, you can meet this guy. If you are not happy, you can just call the servants and get rid of this guy. Now this time is completely different from before. This prince is already The king of the county, and the king of the county who was dealt with by His Majesty the Emperor,

This is not important, it has come here in the past few decades, the most important thing is that now the prince's fief is gone, he has become a rootless water, although there are still huge overseas territories , but those are far away and cannot quench their thirst. In addition, the people of Cao's House of Commerce have already occupied the entire ocean, so it is very difficult for them to get any assistance.

"Do as I say. This guy is not that simple. In the past, don't look at him as a slave before and after a slave. He also helped me do a lot of things, but there are reasons for that. I don't know this guy yet. What will happen, just tell people to get ready." The prince didn't; he ignored what his guards said, but looked at the people around him who were protecting him. This prince is not afraid that someone will assassinate him, right? It is absolutely impossible. Political struggles are all superficial things. How could there be an assassination? The prince is really a bit of a grassroots soldier. Besides, assassinating the prince of the empire is such a big crime. Even if Ling Chi was executed, his nine clans would also be exterminated. Generally, no one would do such a thing. Besides, although the prince lost his fief, there are thousands of people around him protecting him. How is this possible? Something might happen. These people are experienced in many battles, and there is absolutely no showmanship. What kind of assassin can kill the prince under such protection? Unless it is a tenth-level fighter, but even if it is a tenth-level fighter, the people here are fine. As for the tenth-level magician? Impossible, now there is no public tenth-level magician on this road, even if there is, they can't afford it, even if they can, that magician will never do assassination, everyone is He made it clear that he came out to fight.

"Yes, my lord, this subordinate will go down and make arrangements now." If the head guard in the past would definitely have said a few more words, at least he wouldn't let the lord feel cold in the hearts of the brothers below. This Master Liu is here. Governor, the prince is so suspicious of him, what will he think in his heart, but now the prince's temper has changed a lot, it is completely different from before, it was thrown out of the carriage a few days ago No one else can see the face of a dead body, but he knows it. This is the most beloved concubine of the prince. Now he has been beaten by the prince so that he can't recognize anyone. What mistake did you make? Now the prince will lose his temper even for a small matter. Although he will not kill himself, but he will not be in trouble. Just follow the prince's order honestly. It will be very difficult for him of.

King Ning's worry is justified, the reason why he is worried about this. Is it because of the files of the hundred officials behind, your own slaves? Hehe, how many years ago he was his slave, and now that he can have the consequences of today, his slave has helped a lot. Of course, he is helping the emperor, not helping himself at all. , Ning Wang is very clear why the Cao family business is so clear about Ning Wang's arrangement in nw province, it must be told to them by someone else. There are only a few people who know how to arm themselves. Mr. Liu is one of them. He must have no connection with Cao's House. This guy will not just give the news to Cao's House, but the man in the capital will definitely. This Master Liu must have given the news to His Majesty the Emperor in the capital. His Majesty the Emperor then gave this to Cao's House. Only then did I have my own disastrous defeat, otherwise I could still hold on for a while, but I thought of the cannons of Cao's House. Persistence can't last for two days.

The matter is basically what King Ning guessed. At the beginning, Lord Liu was a pawn of His Majesty the Emperor. He has been hiding since a long time ago. There were ten people with him at the beginning, and now the other nine people have all died. He is dead, he has been with King Ning for such a long time, and became the governor with the help of King Ning, but this guy is still very clear about who he belongs to. He is His Majesty's man. Don't help King Ning do things that are inconvenient for King Ning to come forward, and even do things that lose his head a few times. The efficiency can be said to be very high. Back then, King Ning didn't think about these things at all. I thought it was because this guy was very efficient, but now I understand that everything is a scam, and it is a sign that the emperor tricked himself into it. This damn emperor has placed such a person by his side. He knew that such a person really made it impossible for him to kick him out, because he believed in this person too much, and his ability to handle affairs was also very good. The most important thing was His Majesty's heart, he could do anything. The purpose of giving is to let this guy enter his core. At this time, he can hit himself hard, which is absolutely amazing.

Although this Governor Liu sent his own battalion to meet King Ning, but at this moment he met another person in the secret room of his mansion. This person just passed the decree to King Ning a few days ago. That eunuch, besides the imperial decree to King Ning, he has another order in his hand, which is for Governor Liu. Of course, it must be some shameful order. Otherwise, how could he come to the secret room to say it? Well, just declare the decree directly in front with great fanfare.

The content of the imperial decree is very simple, that is, let Mr. Liu send someone to put King Ning in his territory. He can disguise himself as a bandit, or he can become a member of the city's Cao's business firm. As long as he can kill King Ning, the rest He doesn't need to take care of things, he can get promoted and make a fortune in the future, and he doesn't need to worry about it for the rest of his life. Excited, at this time, I didn't even see the cold eyes of the eunuch next to me.

The governor has been an official for so many years. I don't think it will be so simple? You killed King Ning? The guards around King Ning don't say that you, the governor's mansion, can't handle it, even if someone from the capital can't handle it, I just asked you to go to try the guards around King Ning, you are a pathfinder That's it, besides, if you really kill King Ning, can you keep your head? If someone finds out about this in the future, your head will fall off. Will His Majesty the Emperor leave such a hidden danger for himself? That's absolutely impossible, why can't I think of these things, and now I'm still happily thinking about whether I can make King Ning unlucky, and let myself be promoted, it's just a pig's brain.

"Your Excellency, there are still many other things for the miscellaneous family. You have read the content of the imperial decree. This matter is of great importance. If you don't pay attention, it may set all of us on fire. To put it bluntly, we are all You can’t mess things up in our hands, otherwise, we don’t have enough brains, so you just have to hurry up and prepare for these things, and the miscellaneous family has to go back to the capital as soon as possible Returned, by the way, His Majesty the Emperor knew that there were a few good people around King Ning, so he specially asked them to help, but they were all nine-level fighters. After the matter is over, you can just separate from them, and they will do it on their own. Go back to the capital and report back." The eunuch took a cold look at Mr. Liu who was still cheerful, he didn't have so much time to wait for you to think wildly in his heart. I have to go back to the capital. Although the capital is more complicated, it is somewhat safer. Unlike this place, there is such a danger everywhere.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. With the help of these adults, this matter will definitely be fine. His Majesty gave me a lot of people a few days ago. Now King Ning's people must be exhausted. I am still King Ning. The few people under my command can be trusted, as long as they do a little calculation. It is absolutely impossible for King Ning to leave my province. After the matter is successful, I will ask my father-in-law to give me some good words in the capital." The guy finished speaking It's very convenient to take out a stack of banknotes, each of which is one thousand taels of silver, no matter how much it is in the bank of Cao's Commercial Bank, it can be piled up. And it's so beautifully printed. It's much better than the old banknotes and the like. Now there must be more than a hundred copies, which is more than a hundred thousand silver, not bad.

"This is natural. If Mr. Liu accomplishes this in the future, his status in the capital will be unmatched. In the future, it is possible even to be the minister of the study room. We are just a little too tight. In the future But Master Liu still needs a lot of promotion." In fact, Governor Liu also understands that the money is just to send him, so do you really expect a eunuch to speak for you? That is simply impossible. If you really go to the capital to get some money, tens of millions of silver is not enough. Hundreds of thousands of silver is nothing. This eunuch also understands that everyone is proud of the flamboyant. If they say so, let's go along with it. Just go on, anyway, it’s all about taking money and doing nothing. We have done this kind of thing many times, so we are familiar with it.

It seemed that the emperor really wanted to deal with King Ning, but he did not expect to use such a drastic method. After sending away the eunuchs, Governor Liu immediately went to his study, which is where he usually works, and followed him There were only two confidants who came in.

After entering, Governor Liu wrote a letter, which was very short, just a few words, "You two act separately, and one of you will go to the Sanshan camp outside the city immediately with the letter, and tell their people to get ready. We need to use them, go to these places to set up ambushes, we can't fight recklessly, we must take our time, if we fight recklessly, we are no match for King Ning's people, and we don't need them to make much contribution, as long as it is Just don’t let King Ning’s people take a good rest in the next few days.” The governor said to one of them, and he also understood that it is impossible to succeed in such a big matter as assassinating King Ning all at once. , King Ning has not been a prince for nothing these years, and the people around him must be very powerful, so he can't lose so many people.

"You go and prepare something right away. I will take our people to meet King Ning and get some more potent poisons. Although I know that King Ning will definitely not eat outside food at this time, if he really eats Now, that would be considered cheap for us, and the adults from the court would also bring them along, and when the time comes, if the soft ones are not enough, they will come hard, and use my transfer order to mobilize 100,000 troops. If it is really impossible, we can only It’s the last resort, no matter what, King Ning can’t get out alive.” He began to give orders in his study, but this guy really regarded himself as a dish, thinking that the emperor depended on him To deal with King Ning, this is simply unbelievable. If a governor can deal with King Ning, the emperor will not be so worried.

The eunuch came out of the governor's mansion, but Yohou didn't go back to the capital directly, but arrived at a hidden contact point in the city. At the same time, there were a bunch of other people disguised as him, and started speeding on the pipeline quickly, telling All the people will return to the capital after he reads the imperial decree.

"I have seen the prince." After the eunuch entered here, they saluted this guy one by one. It seems that this is not an ordinary official. There are only a dozen people in this room at most, but if you look carefully, you will It feels very scary, because there is actually a tenth-level fighter here, and all the rest are ninth-level fighters. Even the tenth-level fighters will salute this guy. Wouldn't his strength be even more terrifying?

"Well, just prepare everything. We will start to act after the start over there. We don't have any definite information about King Ning's subordinates. If the black magic pharmacist didn't follow King Ning, we would have a chance to take him down. , but if there is a black potion master, we can only retreat quickly, we are not opponents. As for Mr. Liu, there is no need to think about it, there are still a few hours, everyone should take a rest." Not many, but very majestic, and I must be capable.

The eunuchs in the palace don’t just need to serve tea, pour water, look at the color and do things. Many of them are too close but have been in the palace all their lives, and because of their physical problems, almost all of them have their own housekeeping skills Yes, either here is fine. Or it's just awesome there. Anyway, there is nothing foolish, especially in this palace.

Since the order to be on guard was issued, none of King Ning's subordinates was idle, and they all wanted to see clearly everyone passing by. Of course. Although King Ning doubted the governor. But I can't say this, I just doubt it, if I say it. Even if that person had no intention of rebelling against him, he probably had to rebel. At least he won’t give him any help in the future. This time, he just had to entangle with this guy for a while. Anyway, no matter what it is, as long as it comes from him I definitely don't need to come here, and I won't stay here for a while. If he didn't attack him, then the person who betrayed himself might not be this guy. If he did, then the person must be him Well, others don't know so many secrets about him, but this guy knows a lot.

Governor Liu's side has already assembled the troops and is about to act. Who knows that something happened at this time that he didn't expect. All the people he sent out came back. Of course, they didn't come back by themselves. , It’s their heads that came back, and the people didn’t come back. Governor Liu was dumbfounded. These people are all from the Supervision Battalion, and they are all people who can walk sideways in a province, let alone provoke them. , Even if you see them in normal times, you will avoid them, how can you encounter such a thing, who did this, and their subordinates are also quite skilled, one by one At least they belonged to sixth-level fighters, otherwise, it would be impossible for me to be with such people, but who killed them now? Could it be that King Ning's people did these? Thinking of this, Governor Liu is a little scared. In the past, he had done a lot of things with King Ning. He thought he knew the strength of King Ning very well, but the current situation has no way to use the previous information. Explain, does King Ning have a new secret army? I don't know it all? Did you figure this all out before King Ning came? Thinking of this, he was in a cold sweat. The dream of being promoted and getting rich just now woke up immediately. What good can there be if you follow along? I actually wanted to make a big contribution by relying on this, it was like killing myself.

"Master Governor, are we still going?" The people below have been watching the Governor sitting for half an hour. If they don't go now, it is estimated that it will be delayed. Anyway, these people died one by one. They are useless, they are nothing more than some scouts, and if they die, they will die. Does anyone really take them seriously?

"Go, hurry up and gather your troops, and follow me." The governor remembered that there was another imperial decree when he heard this voice. Those who are going to fall, there are more people under the emperor, and there are more capable people than himself. Why don't they have a governor's seat, but I have a governor's seat? Such a thing is not a trouble Just for fun, I should go and see how much I have. Even if there is no other way, I can explain to His Majesty the Emperor. If it is just because of the death of so many slaves, I will not be alive. His Majesty does not like that. People who are afraid of death, especially in this troubled world, no one likes such subordinates.

Just when the governor was leading the people to go out, another incident happened at his door. The two captains of the Supervision Battalion who were walking in front stopped at the door directly. What's going on, so many strange things happened today , These two guys are not opening the way in front, what are you doing standing at the door, "Bastard, what are you two doing, get out quickly, if there is a delay, I will take your heads immediately." The governor shouted angrily , The school lieutenants in my supervision battalion are all seventh-level fighters. Although they are all elementary-level, they are like mountains of warlords. All of them are very obedient. What happened today? They stopped moving after going out. Could it be that something happened to them?

"The governor said you two, hurry up, don't stand in front of the road." Seeing that the governor was angry, the deputy commander of the supervising battalion stepped up and kicked each of them, but he expected these two guys to avoid it The scene did not appear, and the two fell down straight, and there were bloodstains on the ground. The deputy commander of the Supervision Battalion is an eighth-level fighter himself. But he definitely wouldn't be able to kill two seventh-level fighters with such a powerful kick. He thought he didn't have that much ability, which meant that the two people in front must have been killed, and he was very clever. Immediately took several steps back.

"There are assassins. Protect the governor." After the deputy governor shouted, he also started to back away. Damn, there is no doubt that those who are at the door at the moment, if they are not at the door, why would the two of them die when they arrive at the door. But the people behind have nothing to do. It seems that this matter is really a bit difficult to handle. They came prepared and blocked the door. Naturally, there is no way to go out. Just now The high-spirited governor is like a puddle of mud now, and he has no intention of rushing out. If he is killed by these people, then he is not worth it, and he doesn't even know who his opponent is. It is estimated that there are only things like this in the world, and I will never do such a stupid thing.

The surrounding masters got off their horses immediately, and were blocked by others at the gate of the governor's mansion. If you say this, you don't know where to put your face. Good guy, this thief is really courageous It's too big, the governor glanced outside, what should those people do, and his concierge looked at what happened to the guards inside with some surprise. They were all crawling on the ground, isn't it cool here? The governor knew what was going on when he saw them. The people outside were sneak attacks, and they didn't bother to attack ordinary people. They only attacked experts like them. Otherwise, they would have gone out long ago. While thinking about it, an old man came over. He just looked at the two dead guys to find out what caused them to die. Now it seems that there should be a result.

"What's going on?" Seeing the expression on that guy's face, the governor was so scared that he almost peed his pants. After all, he has been in the arena for so long. Why doesn't he have this psychological quality? If so, he will still follow What an ass I am.

"Returning to the governor, they all died of poisoning. So far, I have found a small hole between their eyebrows. If the subordinates have not made a mistake in their analysis, this poison should be the most strange poison in the world. Le venom, this kind of thing can kill two seventh-level fighters as long as it is stained with an embroidery needle, and the price is very expensive. It is said that this thing is measured in grams, and the price of each gram is as high as 3.5 million taels of silver is impossible for ordinary people to obtain. It is only found in a few large killer organizations. Even our imperial court does not have much of it. He is dead, and there is no antidote at all, even if there is, he will be able to react in a second." It turns out that this guy is afraid of this, and it's no wonder that things like poison are so powerful .

The governor was also dumbfounded after hearing this. Damn, these venoms are the most difficult things to get. I also have some of these things in my house, but compared to others, they are really not enough. You can see, these things I got by myself are some low-end products, and this poisoning is also skillful, just like the most expensive Moller venom, even if I spend money, I may not be able to get it, besides Oh, these things are terrible things, and the imperial government does not allow them to be traded. They all need to be obtained on the black market. If you don't go to the black market, it is absolutely impossible to get them.

"Go back first, and ask someone to go out to see what's going on." The governor touched his forehead, but when he came to the door, he was all sweaty. This incident is not scary at all. There is nothing to be afraid of the death of a first-level fighter. There are many such people who die every day in this world, but the problem is that there are still a few ninth-level fighters behind. They don't feel anything at all. dead, what does this mean? It shows that each of these people is very powerful, and they died when they didn't realize anything. Such things made him feel scared. In his opinion, even if it was two ninth-level fighters who went out, they might die just like that, and his own life would be over. When it comes to his head, he needs to think carefully about everything. , even if King Ning can't be killed, His Majesty the Emperor wants to execute him, it will be a year later, the distance on the road is not so fast, but if he went out just now, he regretted it now .

In fact, he also thought of it when he came back. Is the other party a threat to them? In fact, there is not much strength to do. Those people are also afraid. Have I been bluffed by them? What kind of people are attacking them? On the surface, they are all members of the imperial court. Now someone is blatantly attacking the people in the court. How is this different from rebellion. Although the major killer organizations are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, none of them have the guts to sell the venom to these people. What is the problem? The governor really couldn't think of it.

The governor here didn't go out to harass King Ning's people as planned, and the people brought by the eunuch over there couldn't do it one by one. They also asked someone to investigate the affairs of the governor's mansion. Who knew they would send them there The person actually died on the way, two eighth-level fighters who died, all of them were a small red dot on the center of their eyebrows, all because of the Mole venom.

"It's strange, such things should be very precious. What kind of organization has such ability? Such courage? Don't they fear the revenge of our empire?" The old eunuch said a little depressed, now it's too late The best ambush point has been found, and some people have reported from the front, saying that the people of King Ning have stepped up their guard. These people seem to be the people who are hidden in the dark by King Ning. The old eunuch hesitated and assassinated King Ning. The matter must never be made public, it can only be hidden. Now that King Ning has arrived at a crowded place, it will be detrimental to everyone if he continues to do it. Besides, with their hands It is impossible for Li's strength to have a 100% hope of winning, and none of King Ning's people is soft-footed.

"Hmph, let this guy go first this time. Let's go back to the capital and ask Mr. Liu here to finish the matter." The eunuch thought for a while and said, staying here is of no use at all. If the whereabouts are revealed, His Majesty the Emperor may be involved, and there will be fun at that time. His Majesty himself is a bit difficult to deal with now, let alone others. If he is charged with murdering his brother, this Things are fun, his position is also unstable, he is doing things for the emperor, such things are in his own hands, don't expect to stay in his head.

Three days later, King Ning left the province of QWE. This guy was relieved, at least it was safe now. He knew all the governors on the road ahead, and there were no places that were inaccessible. It is not so easy for someone on the other side to assassinate him. It is considered that he has passed this level, but he does not know what is going on. Is the emperor hesitant or what is going on? Ordinarily, such a thing would not happen. His Majesty the Emperor has always had his own opinions in doing things. Basically, others cannot influence him. As for the so-called brotherhood, it is estimated that there will be no such thing ten thousand years ago. Not to mention this time now, King Ning can only believe that he is auspicious and has his own destiny.

In the coastal provinces, Wang Quantai already got what Li Cong needed within a week. According to Wang Quantai's calculation method, Li Cong also gave him some data. Their first two trade points were In the two cities of the Southern Empire, which is also the territory of the Cao Family Trading Company in the Southern Empire, it can be said that this kind of trade maximizes the interests of both of them. Today is a test run. The carrying capacity of the merchant ship manufactured by Li Congxin exceeds 3,000 tons is already a very large merchant ship in the world. It will take nearly 20 days to reach the destination, almost all of which are speeding forward throughout the day. This means that it can only be reached with pure energy blocks produced on the earth. At this speed, a speed of almost 80km per hour is required. Even so, it will take more than 20 days to arrive. The transported past are some rare assets of the Eastern Empire.

Each ship basically takes two months to go back and forth. According to Wang Quantai's prediction, the profit of each ship's round trip will be between 80 million taels and 100 million taels of silver, and it may even exceed this amount. , these things were very good at the beginning, but it’s hard to say in the future, after all, if many things are in the past, they will not be very valuable, but compared to the two empires, their little transportation The energy is so little that it is nothing at all.

"My lord, actually, I don't think you need to follow the ship yourself. You have never been at sea before, and you have been at sea for the past two months. Isn't it a bit too difficult for your lord? "I heard that Wang Quantai wanted to follow the ship by himself. Li Cong was also a little worried. He knew about the sea voyage. It was really boring. In this era, there are no recreational facilities on the sea. Most of the crew almost It can only be half of the time at sea, and the other half of the time must be on land, otherwise there may be problems with one's spirit.

"Master Cao, since you entrusted me with this matter, I have to do it well for you. I thought that way before, and it is indeed possible to do things by relying on some data brought back by others. Yes, but if I follow it myself, many things are first-hand information. I can also see what links in the middle can be improved. My spiritual pillar for the rest of my life, just ask the boss to let me follow." Wang Quantai thought for a while and said that Li Cong's arrangement at home was indeed good, his annual salary was tens of millions of silver, and other things As for the commission, although the current status is incomparable with the past, I believe it will be possible in the future.

"Since this is the case, I will not say anything. I will try my best to let them get some things that Mr. Wang needs on the boat. Mr. Wang doesn't need to be so lonely on the road." Li Cong saw that there was really no way to persuade this guy I can only give up. If this old guy has that kind of energy, Li Cong really can't adapt his ideas. Li Cong sometimes admires such people very much. (To be continued..)
