At this time, in Prince You's mansion, Prince You, who had just walked out of his bedroom, quickly saw a familiar figure in the front hall through the curtain.
Then the old servant in the front hall hurriedly came up and whispered a few words into King You's ear. After hearing this, King You's face flashed with gloom.
"Vice General Zhou, what's going on with you?"
King You opened the curtain and walked out quickly, his face pretending to be confused.
When Zhou Pei saw him, it was like seeing a savior!
"Your Highness Youguang, Lin Yiqiu! And Cang Hong! And those Jinyi guards! They killed all my men!"
"Now they are still chasing me. Your Highness, Prince You, you must save the lives of your subordinates!"
"Lin Yiqiu Canghong, aren't they from the imperial court? Have they already arrived in Tingzhou?"
King You continued to look puzzled.
Zhou Pei nodded immediately.
"Yes, they are already here, in Tingzhou where they just arrived yesterday!"
"His Royal Highness You Wang! The purpose of their coming is actually very clear. They are here just for you, Your Highness King You!"
"For this king?"
King You frowned slightly, and then he continued: "Then what happened to you? Did they discover you?"
"His Royal Highness Youwang, this...this is actually my subordinate's mistake!"
Zhou Pei held his fists in his hands, his face showing great annoyance and resentment!
Then, he explained everything to King You about the assassination of Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong last night.
As King You listened, his expression also changed. He did not expect that Zhou Pei would choose to take action so quickly!
And he never expected that under Zhou Pei's assassination, Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong would be safe and sound!
"It turns out that something like this happened, Vice General Zhou, you don't seem to be very careful in your work!"
King You said in a slightly reproachful tone.
After Zhou Pei heard this, the annoyance on his face could not be dissipated!
He sighed deeply!
"My subordinates didn't expect that Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong were so powerful! Not only did the assassination fail, they actually took the initiative to lurk in the subordinate courtyard!"
"I wanted to rely on the hundreds of soldiers under my command to kill them completely and bury them in Tingzhou! But all of my subordinates actually died in their hands!"
"That Lin Yiqiu is like a magician. The incense of his subordinates has no effect on him! The Jin Yiwei is also incredible! His subordinates... His subordinates are no match for them at all!"
In Zhou Pei's opinion, Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong were nothing more than local chickens and dogs. With so many of his own, it would be easy to kill them!
But after experiencing the previous incident, Zhou Pei no longer dared to drag it out.
Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong were much more powerful than him. If he hadn't had smoke bombs as a life-saving device, he might have been caught by them by now!
King You's tone continued to be filled with complaints.
"Vice General Zhou, Lin Yiqiu and Cang Qiong are the favored ministers of Emperor Qian, especially Lin Yiqiu, as the governor of Xichang, he is witty and cunning, and has endless conspiracies! Countless people in the imperial court have fallen into trouble.
It’s in his hands!”
"And his martial arts skills should not be underestimated. It is said that he is on par with Cang Hong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. It would be too far-fetched for you to kill them with just a hundred soldiers under your command!"
Zhou Pei was full of bitterness at this time. Apart from King You, he had no one else to talk to! Only King You could save his life now!
Therefore, in the face of King You's accusation, Zhou Pei had no idea of daring to resist. He could only say with shame: "My subordinates are indeed too impatient and missed the strength of the enemy and ourselves!"
"Please Lord Youwang, please save your subordinate's life. If I escape now, I'm afraid I will die in their hands immediately!"
In Zhou Pei's eyes, although King You has not yet agreed to unite with Zheng Xianba, there is no doubt that he is one of his own!
From what King You said to him, it seems that King You's attitude toward Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong also contained a hint of hostility.
As expected, King You smiled and nodded.
"Vice General Zhou, Tingzhou is my territory. If I don't let you die, then of course you won't die!"
"No matter how powerful Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong are, they would not dare to break into my palace!"
This sentence seems to indicate that King You wants to keep him.
Zhou Pei was overjoyed and immediately fell to his knees!
"Thank you so much for your life-saving grace, His Highness Youwang!"
After saying that, a stern look appeared in his eyes again!
"His Royal Highness Youwang, since Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong came to Tingzhou this time for His Highness, why don't Your Highness use this opportunity to completely eliminate them here?"
"It would be difficult for my subordinates not to be strong enough to do this, but with the strength of His Highness Prince You, it would be quite easy to deal with these two people!"
"Your Highness, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If Your Highness needs it, I am willing to put myself at risk to lure Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong into taking the bait, so as to contribute to His Highness's grand plan!"
After hearing this, King You's face flashed with a hint of gloom.
"Both of them are powerful characters. If I want to deal with them, I'm afraid I will suffer heavy losses."
After hearing this, Zhou Pei couldn't help but continue to admonish!
After all, in his opinion, Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong appeared in Tingzhou City at the same time. If he didn't seize the opportunity to eliminate them, there would be endless troubles!
Since Tingzhou is the territory of King You, no matter how hard Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong jump around, they can't escape from King You's grasp!
If you miss such a good opportunity, I'm afraid it will never come back again!
"Your Highness must not be indecisive. If Your Highness eliminates Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong, General Zheng will have nothing to worry about!"
"The alliance between His Highness and the general will then become even more unstoppable! Tingzhou and Xingyang City will become a state within a state! It will be extremely difficult for the court to deal with them after they are united!"
"What you said does make sense."
After hearing this, King You thought for a while, and then nodded.
But soon, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"If we just want to eliminate these two people, I'm afraid I need one more thing."
"Something? May I ask His Highness King You what he needs? If my subordinates can help, I will definitely help you!"
Zhou Pei, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately raised his hands and asked, his face full of doubts.
However, at this time, King You had a faint smile on his face, and he looked a little weird.
"This thing is closely related to you, General Zhou. I am afraid that General Zhou is not willing to give it to you!"
"What did your Highness say? As long as I can kill Lin Yiqiu and Cang Hong, as long as I can help General Zheng complete his plan, and help His Highness ascend the throne! I will do anything at all!"
Zhou Pei even used the throne to seduce King You!
The smile on the corner of King You's mouth became more obvious. Then he lowered his head and smiled at Zhou Pei: "I want to borrow General Zhou's head for use!" This chapter has been completed!
