A moderate voice echoed in the ears of the eight people and horses at Fengyun Ferry.
Although the voice is neither too loud nor too quiet, it gives people an extremely rich feeling, as if the words are spoken close to your ears, but also seem to be coming from a very far away place.
Liu Mingzhi, who was taking the opportunity to use his internal energy to recover from his injuries, subconsciously opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound.
More than a dozen black shadows appeared like ghosts around the carriage Chen Jie was riding under the moonlight.
Liu Mingzhi's heart suddenly tightened. He had just seen these dozen figures dozens of steps away, but why did they suddenly appear next to the carriage?
When the figures of the ten people became clearer, they revealed black cloaks that were exactly the same as those of Ziying and the other five.
His whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, making it impossible for anyone to see what the person he looked like looked like.
The cloaked man standing at the top is a figure about seven feet tall. Under the cover of the brim of the cloak, this man's appearance cannot be seen at all.
Only the gray beard exposed in the moonlight showed that the person was not young, definitely over fifty or sixty years old.
The cloaked man slightly raised his head and looked around the chaotic battlefield, then looked at Chen Ying and Maoying who were entangled in the middle of ten old women and couldn't escape, and finally fixed their gaze on Liu Mingzhi, who was recovering from his injuries by crossing his knees.
“Your Majesty, the film owner is polite.”
Liu Mingzhi had a faint look of doubt in his eyes, is he the film’s main character, the number one figure in the spy film?
“It’s both polite and rude to hide your face and show your face!”
“Hehe retreat!”
The word "retreat" was clear and the clouds were light. The men and horses who were fighting with the two secret agents immediately flew away and left the battlefield, slowly retreating towards the cloaked man.
The four Qinglongs also struggled to stand up, raised their hands to stop the two spies who wanted to pursue, and slowly retreated towards Liu Mingzhi, guarding Liu Mingzhi's front, rear, and left sides.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the protection is watertight.
As the troops from both sides temporarily stopped fighting, the snow-covered and beautiful Fengyundu revealed the disgusting and bloody scene after the war. Looking around, the fields were full of corpses and devastated.
The ravine created by the internal force seemed to have been plowed several times. Snow water mixed with blood and steaming mist made it look like a fairyland on earth under the moonlight.
Ziying and the other five walked up to the cloaked man in the front row and bowed respectfully: "See the Shadow Master!"
"Um!"
“We have met the film owner, so you are polite!”
The film owner gave Lao Zhou a fist.
“I don’t dare, it’s polite.”
“Shadow Master, the power of the Prince Consort far exceeds the information you have investigated.”
The film owner raised his head, glanced at the men in bamboo hats and black robes on both sides, and then looked at the thousands of secret agents guarding Liu Mingzhi with a look of helplessness.
“Things should not have reached this situation. I have long advised your majesty that Prince Bingjian is from the Liu family in Jiangnan and has extraordinary knowledge. He will never be as easy to deal with as ordinary princes and princes.
However, His Majesty was repeatedly indecisive and did not agree to the suggestion of assassinating King Bingjian.
Otherwise, how could such a situation have arisen if several innate masters directly waited for an opportunity to assassinate him?
All the situation should have ended early, because of His Majesty's hesitation, King Bingjian was given five opportunities, dragging his journey to Fengyundu on the north-south boundary.
After passing Fengyundu and leaving the northern boundary, King Bingjian would be in chaos if something unexpected happened to him.
At that time, the attempt to blame the prince's distress on the officials of the 27th House of Northern Xinjiang, so as to remove the officials from the 27th House of Northern Xinjiang who were close to the king and replace them with people from the imperial court, would be in vain.
talk.
It’s a pity that Xinzhouyi’s last chance has been missed.
When we arrived at Fengyundu, the junction of the north and the south, we had no choice but to kill them by force as a precaution.
Some people who should not have died have to be buried with King Bingjian today in order to prevent the secrets from being leaked!"
Lao Zhou caressed the whisk in his hand with complicated eyes. He was also aware of the fact that the film master next to him advised Li Ye to send a master to directly assassinate Liu Mingzhi.
However, Li Ye always insisted on delivering the last imperial edict, and the assassination attempt at Xinzhouyi was delayed to Fengyundu due to the journey on the road.
If Fengyundu can no longer ensure success, and if the Prince Consort disappears in the territory that does not belong to the 27th Prefecture of Northern Xinjiang, there will definitely be a turmoil in Northern Xinjiang, and there will definitely be a turmoil at that time.
On the contrary, if something happened to Liu Mingzhi in Northern Xinjiang, instead of causing trouble, the imperial court could take advantage of the situation and replace some of the feudal officials in Northern Xinjiang to stabilize the situation in the twenty-seven prefectures of Northern Xinjiang.
Completely controlled by the imperial court.
It is a pity that His Majesty did not accept the suggestion of the film owner because of his past kindness, which led to today's situation.
“Shadow Master, we think His Majesty’s decision is correct.
Looking at the current situation, it shows that the Prince Consort has already made preparations. If the assassination fails and the Prince Consort withdraws from the palace, that will be the beginning of the upheaval and the earth-shaking."
After listening to Lao Zhou's words, the film owner looked at Qian Liang's secret agents again.
Thousands of experts arrived in such a timely manner, which really shows that King Bingjian had already taken precautions.
No matter how powerful the innate master is, if he is surrounded by thousands of masters without help, he will inevitably die after his internal strength is exhausted.
I have been observing the strength of these people for a long time. They are not comparable to thousands of soldiers and horses in the distance, but they are real masters of martial arts.
The innate master is invincible in the world. It's okay to defeat a hundred with one, but it's a bit too big to defeat a thousand with one.
Land gods are not real gods after all.
“Since King Bingjian knew that there would be an ambush and had prepared dead soldiers to lie dormant all the way, why did he insist on entering the capital?”
Lao Zhouyi was stunned and shook his head silently: "We don't know, maybe the prince-in-law is holding on to the manpower to be prepared. Or maybe it's because"
Lao Zhou looked at the carriage a few steps away as he spoke, looking a little sad.
“Perhaps it’s because the empress personally issued the decree! As for whether it is true or not, we don’t know, and we dare not make a conclusion.
Perhaps only King Bingjian knows his own thoughts. If he doesn’t tell us, even though we are innate, we still can’t see through people’s inner thoughts.”
The film owner followed Lao Zhou's gaze and looked at Chen Jie's carriage, shook his head slightly and sighed.
“What a debt!
But there are some things that we can't do anything about. I also admire King Bingjian's behavior, but everyone is his own master. Even if he knows that everything is right, what can he do? As a domestic slave, he can only obey orders.
For the sake of the stability of the world, absolutely no one can be left alive today.
Once the matter is leaked out, it will definitely cause an uproar."
Lao Zhou's eyes flashed back to the tender and helpless look of Chen Jie grabbing him and crying, he sighed, shook his head and looked at the film owner.
“Can you leave a way for the Prince Consort to survive? It would be better to put him under house arrest than to kill him.
No matter what, the contribution made by the Prince Consort to the imperial court is indelible.
If Ruizhong knew in heaven that the consort's fate was so miserable, he would definitely not forgive us for what we did."
Shadow Master also sighed.
“Alas, Brother Zhou really understands His Majesty’s character!”
“Hmm? What does the film owner mean?”
The film host took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the somewhat confused Lao Zhou.
Lao Zhou silently took the note and saw four big characters and a seal.
Eliminate the evil without ending it.
Lao Zhou frowned: "Oh, it seems that Your Majesty really wants to eradicate the evil, but not to the end? To eradicate the evil to the end!"
Lao Zhou read it several times under the moonlight, and finally determined that the four words on the note meant to eliminate evil without doing anything, not to do everything possible.
"This is?"
“Your Majesty has chosen a beautiful place for King Bingjian to live in his old age, and he has also taken all his family members there to spend the rest of his life together.
It depends on whether King Bingjian is willing to go or not!
The only blame to blame is that King Bingjian was ignorant of current affairs and blocked the way for the unification of the world and His Majesty's desire to centralize imperial power!
If King Bingjian can find his way back, he will have no problem enjoying the rest of his life."
