556, Civil Strife in Wei
When he will die is still unknown. Maybe before Lord Xinling dies of old age, he will not die and become another King Zhaoxiang of Qin, killing several generations of monarchs in other countries. And this is precisely what Lord Xinling can't bear...
The assassination was just a pretext for Lord Xinling to usurp the throne. Without this assassination, Lord Xinling would have been hard-pressed to convince his subordinates to join in the rebellion, but with this assassination, the retainers and retainers who were loyal to Lord Xinling would instantly gather their strength and shoot at the target.
The assassination was the beginning of the coup.
"Shaoyuan Jun, Juluhou, Zhao Guo..." Wei Wangyu's eyes showed a cold light, "It seems that Zhao Guo intends to support Xinling Jun's rebellion. Also, once Xinling Jun succeeds in his rebellion, There are a lot of benefits to Zhao State, Zhao Dan is so courageous. "
At first he didn't feel anything strange about the envoys sent by the State of Zhao this time, but now that Lord Xinling was scheming to rebel, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
"Summon Lord Longyang into the palace to meet with you..."
King Wei slumped down on the throne, rubbed his swollen and painful temples, and then shouted to his chamberlain.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a tall man hurriedly entered.
"Your Majesty, what is the important matter for summoning the ministers?"
Long Yangjun stepped forward to ask.
King Wei uttered a few words in secret, instructing Lord Longyang to cooperate with him in reducing the vassal vassal and eliminating Lord Xinling, a personal nuisance.
Killing Lord Xinling... he didn't dare to act rashly. Once you kill Lord Xinling, you will become enemies of other countries. In the past, when the Qin army attacked Wei, the story of Lord Xinling asking for the alliance of the four countries is still vivid in his mind. Therefore, after much deliberation, we can only use the power of the court to reduce the feudal vassal.
The Wei Palace is a sieve.
It was penetrated into a sieve by Lord Xinling.
Bai Gui's conversation with Wei Wangyu in the palace, and Wei Wangyu's subsequent reactions were all presented to Lord Xinling's table. Every sentence of the conversation made Wei Wuji continue to ponder at this moment.
Night, silent.
"This Zhao Li is extremely smart. I underestimated him."
Lord Xinling glanced at the secret guard, shook his head, and chuckled.
The few words Bai Gui spoke to him when he entered the house today were not false or fabricated. Every word was true. But these words, combined with Bai Gui's actions today, dragged him into a conspiracy. middle…….
There was only superficial harmony between King Wei of Wei and his younger brother.
But Bai Gui's intervention completely broke the balance, and no one dared to trust anyone anymore.
Even if the two get back together, at least... Bai Gui's mission is completed. Yes, Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, saw that Bai Gui's mission was nothing more than to disturb the Wei state and promote civil strife, making it difficult for him to distract himself from looking westward, so that the Zhao state could calmly complete the major task of conquering Yan.
"Send some people to join Zhao Li's family."
"If he wants a name, I will give him this name..."
Lord Xinling said coldly.
"Zhao Li" sent an envoy for two purposes. One is for national affairs, and the other is for fame. In Yahu Xiaozhu, "Zhao Li" deliberately helped Han Fei borrow food from South Korea, just to promote his reputation. In this case, he didn't mind adding a handful of sand to "Zhao Li".
"Yes, sir."
Behind the screen, a retainer took the order and walked out of the study.
…
Wei Guo, Daliang, Posthouse and other courtyards.
"Master Li, how could you be so unwise and suggest that King Wei kill my uncle?" Shao Yuanjun strode into Bai Gui's bedroom and hurriedly broke into Bai Gui's bedroom. He asked aloud: "Also, why didn't you discuss it with me in advance? , I will advise the King of Wei privately, don’t forget, I am also the envoy of Zhao.”
Shao Yuanjun looked unhappy.
Killing Lord Xinling would be equivalent to destroying the foundation of Lord Pingyuan's family. Even if Bai Gui's words would not lead to the tragic death of Lord Xinling, it would still put Lord Xinling in a dangerous situation. Furthermore, he was Zhao's deputy envoy to Wei, and Lord Xinling was so closely related to him. How could Bai Gui not inform him in advance before doing this...
This is trapping him in an unjust place!
"Mr. Shaoyuan, what you said is wrong." Bai Gui calmly poured a cup of tea and said, "I dare to ask Mr. Shaoyuan, who is more important to you, Lord Xinling or the Kingdom of Zhao?"
He asked directly whether Lord Xinling was more important or the Kingdom of Zhao.
When it comes to private matters, Lord Xinling is definitely more important. Most people cannot escape from this, and Lord Shaoyuan is no exception. But if we really talk about it, as the deputy envoy of Zhao State, Lord Shaoyuan would not say that Lord Xinling is more important to him even if he has no brains.
"The State of Zhao is more important." Mr. Shaoyuan gave Bai Gui a deep look, "I am a member of the royal family of the State of Zhao. My father, Lord Pingyuan, has made great contributions to the country. How can I, the young master, despise the State of Zhao and place great importance on Lord Xinling."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt speechless.
He came to question Bai Gui, but after being attacked by Bai Gui in a few words, he immediately surrendered.
"In this case, why did Mr. Shaoyuan question Yu Li?"
Bai Gui smiled and said, "The reason why Li didn't tell Mr. Shao Yuan beforehand was because he was afraid that Mr. Shao Yuan would make a mistake. Now it seems that Li made a mistake. If he encounters such a thing in the future, he will definitely ask Mr. Shao Yuan first. Yuan Jun’s intention.”
He didn't want to push Mr. Shao Yuan too hard, so he took a step back as he spoke.
A phoenix in distress is worse than a chicken.
It seems that Lord Shaoyuan's status is one of the best in the Zhao Kingdom. As the son of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, he naturally inherited the political legacy left by Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng. But Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng is dead after all. Zhao Wangdan sent Lord Shao Yuan to accompany him as an envoy, just for the purpose of taking advantage of Lord Shao Yuan. He did not really think that Shao Yuan Lord, a playboy, could do anything good on an envoy.
Bai Gui also knew this. But for a dandy, you don't have to be too aggressive, just coax him.
"Young Master Li, are you serious about what you said?"
When he got off the steps, Shao Yuanjun suddenly felt that he had regained his dignity and asked.
Even though he had a close relationship with Lord Xinling, it was now a done deal. His uncle, Lord Xinling, had no choice but to send Bai Gui out of the mansion as a gift, let alone him. The reason why he came to ask Bai Gui for an explanation was mainly because he couldn't bear it, so he had the courage to come here.
When it comes to family, Bai Gui is not as good as him. But he believed that Bai Gui's sword could kill him. In the court, it seems that his family is well-off, but in fact, the son of Juluhou is not necessarily popular. After all, Lord Pingyuan is dead. Secondly, Bai Gui and Princess Qian are engaged, which makes him the son-in-law of King Zhao, which is more intimate than him, the cousin of King Zhao.
Bai Gui is a rising star in all countries, and it is not something that a "family member" like him can oppose.
This... he still knew clearly.
Therefore, as long as there is a step down, he will feel satisfied.
"A gentleman's word is that a horse cannot be chased." Bai Gui laughed and put down his cup, "I didn't know beforehand that Mr. Shao Yuan had made such a decision. He thought that we should hide ourselves from each other, so we didn't tell Mr. Shao Yuan about this..."
With a few explanations from Bai Gui, the two got back together.
"It's just that Mr. Li's actions really gave my uncle a headache." Mr. Shao Yuan sat across from Bai Gui and drank twice as much tea. He sighed, "That's fine, if Mr. Li had let me know about this in advance." I can’t guarantee whether I will tell my uncle about this plan..."
Mr. Shao Yuan's palace was too shallow, and he revealed his true self without saying a few words.
Bai Gui in turn comforted him with a few words.
"Although Lord Xinling has forgiven me, Li has no shame in staying in Wei. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will set off to return to Gandan, Zhao. I don't know whether Lord Shaoyuan will stay in Wei or go with Li."
he said.
Now that the mission has been completed, it is conceivable that the Wei State will inevitably start internal strife before long. Although he is not worried about his own safety, he still tries not to expose some of his mysterious features to outsiders. It is only right to take advantage of this opportunity and run away. In addition, there is also the Ganjiang Sword of Xun Qin World, and it’s time to take it away...
"Leave Wei?"
Shao Yuanjun was surprised for a moment and then understood. Bai Gui said that it was indeed true. After this incident, it was not said that he was shameless. At least if he stayed in Wei, Bai Gui's safety would be difficult to guarantee. It was reasonable to leave early.
"I'd better stay in Wei."
"It'll be okay to go back to Zhao country..."
Mr. Shao Yuan waved his hand, not worried at all.
No matter which side wins, King Wei or Lord Xinling will not attack him, but will be more polite to him. There will be no danger at all for him to stay in Wei. As for Daliang in the Wei State, there is no doubt that it is a metropolis among other countries, alongside Linzi, Xianyang, Shangqiu and other places. It is more than twice or twice as prosperous as Gandan.
He wanted to stay in Daliang and continue to enjoy himself.
Wait until you have had enough fun... and then return to Zhao Kingdom, don't be in a hurry.
"That's fine..."
Bai Gui raised his cup and they drank together.
After continuing to talk for a while, Mr. Shao Yuan slowly walked away. When the onlookers who were watching curiously outside saw this scene, they thought Bai Gui had poured some ecstasy soup into Mr. Shao Yuan. Otherwise, why would Mr. Shao Yuan go in angrily, and not long after, he walked out calmly.
The night is getting darker.
The sound of dogs barking gradually reached my ears. Bai Gui flicked his sleeves and robe, and the lattice fan opened a small slit, and he turned into a stream of light and got out.
Soon, he arrived at Yahu Xiaozhu outside Daliang City.
Yahu Xiaozhu was also dark.
There was a gap in the window, and he repeated his old trick and walked in silently. There was a faint fragrance in the boudoir, which was the scent of the powder on Ji Yanran's body. It was a nice smell.
"I just took away Ji Yanran's sword..."
"She will definitely suspect that I took it."
Bai Gui frowned.
Just stealing the sword would directly expose his identity as a thief. After all, although Xun Qin Shijie's Ganjiang Sword is also a famous sword, it is not enough to make people care about it and come here to steal it. Moreover, there are very few people who can run to Ji Yanran's boudoir without making a sound. They must be the masters of the world.
Once eliminated in this way, the identity of the person who stole the sword is ready to be revealed.
He took a few steps and first took down the Xun Qin Shijie Gan sword hanging on the sword stand. As for the theft of other property, we will see later.
But after he got the sword, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with it.
"She changed the sword?"
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows and turned around to watch Ji Yanran sleeping on the bed. It was late spring, so Ji Yanran covered herself with a thin blanket. The delicate body is hidden under the blanket, the white bra...
The bun is spread out, and three thousand green hairs are paralyzed on the jade pillow. The dimples are calm, and the lips have not been coated with lipstick, so they are a bit plain.
"I'm pretending to fall asleep..."
He could tell Ji Yanran's state at a glance.
In fact, when he sneaked into Yahu Xiaozhu, he used his magic power to detect Ji Yanran's sleeping state. Ji Yanran was asleep at the time. But after just a few breaths, Ji Yanran went from falling asleep to waking up. This was something he had never expected...
If it were detected with the magic power of gods, such a big mistake would never happen. It's just that he didn't want to be attached to too many causes and effects in this world, so he used the magic power he had just cultivated in this life. Therefore, the horse stumbles.
As for the sword on the sword stand, it should have been replaced a long time ago.
"It's the breathing method, no wonder it's like this..."
Bai Gui showed his magic eyes and looked at Ji Yanran again, then he suddenly realized.
Lian Jin had taught him the breathing method of the Xunqin world, but Lian Jin's breathing method was relatively shallow, far inferior to the breathing method Ji Yanran had at the moment. Yes, if Ji Yanran didn't have the breathing method, how could such a young and beautiful woman have such talent and such amazing swordsmanship.
Time is limited.
And at this moment..., it was because of Ji Yanran's breathing method that he misjudged. If you learn deep breathing methods, you can meditate instead of sleep, but the external performance is very similar to sleep. Ji Yanran is like this. From Bai Gui's sneaking in to this moment, Ji Yanran has been practicing secretly.
"Miss Ji, since you have already noticed Li walking in."
"There is no need to pretend to sleep."
Bai Gui didn't have the time to act with Ji Yanran. He glanced at her, embraced the long sword, and said indifferently.
It's just a small mistake.
He has countless possibilities of trial and error. So he doesn't mind the mistake he made this time. If he was really just a "Zhao Li" now, he would not have taken such a method. He would not even enter the palace and boldly discuss with Wei Wangyu about killing Xinling Jun. The way to be is to be humble.
But he is a Taoist immortal at heart, a immortal one step away from the golden immortal. This move is just a game of the human world, and there is no need to be cautious.
"Mr. Li..., how did you find me?" Ji Yanran's eyes suddenly opened, she stood up instantly, wrapped her body with a thin blanket, so as not to reveal her spring scenery. When she saw that she was wrapped tightly, she glanced at Bai Gui with her beautiful eyes and asked.
She believed that the breathing method taught by her adoptive father Zou Yan was extremely advanced, and it should not be seen by others.
"It's simple."
Bai Gui was not in a hurry, and made up a reason, "When I looked at you, your body shrank."
"Shrink?" Ji Yanran was stunned.
She didn't know whether what Bai Gui said was true or false. But it was really difficult for her to know such a subconscious action. After all, she was conservative by nature and wore little, so she would subconsciously avoid Bai Gui's prying.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Ji Yanran pursed her lips and lifted the hair on her forehead. "Mr. Li came to my boudoir late at night to steal the sword? I didn't expect that the famous Mr. Li... would do such a petty thing. This is not like the Mr. Li who talked about it in the palace of King Wei and the residence of Lord Xinling in the daytime..."
What happened in the daytime has spread all over Daliang. The people of Daliang may not know, but the princes and ministers must know. Naturally, this also includes her.
