"Your Highness, what happened?" After not hearing any noise for a while, Nalong finally couldn't help but ask.
"A guest is here, but I don't know who it is?" Li Zhen sneered.
Nalong himself also had martial arts, but he was far less skilled than Li Zhen. After listening to it for a while, he finally felt something, nodded and said, "Someone is here."
As soon as Nalong finished speaking, the guard captain Chen Liang hurried in, bowed and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the envoy from the King of Shu has arrived and said he wants to see you alone."
The envoy of Lao Liu? Hey, damn, what does this guy want to do by sending someone here? Li Zhen frowned, waved her hand and said, "Please invite him in."
The people came very quickly, not many, just two people, one tall and one short, both empty-handed. In the dark night, they were wearing gauze-covered bamboo hats, and their faces could not be seen at all. Only the two-faced Shu Palace Orders in their hands.
The cards showed their respective identities. Once they entered the tent, they didn't say anything. They just stood there quietly, as if waiting for Li Zhen to ask.
Lao Liu? Damn it, could it be this kid who came here in person? Li Zhen looked at the figure of the tall man very familiar, but because he hadn’t seen it for several years, he didn’t dare to be sure. He was stunned for a moment and said
Chen Liang and other personal guards who were in the big tent said: "All of you, please retreat. No one is allowed to enter the big tent without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!" Li Zhen's words were filled with murderous intent, and Chen
Liang and others did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly bowed to respond. They all exited the tent, unsheathed their swords and guns, and guarded the tent tightly.
"Have said that, what do you want to see me about?" Li Zhen was silent for a while and asked calmly.
The tall envoy did not say anything, but just made a gesture to the short envoy, and the short envoy nodded, took a step forward and said: "Sima Wang Fangdong, the king of Xia Shu, is meeting with His Highness the King of Yue. My prince has made an explanation before leaving.
The matter can only be discussed with the prince alone."
Wang Fangdong's meaning could not be more obvious, that is, Nalong was still in the tent, and he was worried and unwilling to express his intention. Li Zhen understood this, and Nalong knew it even more clearly.
He moved for a moment, half turned around, bowed to Li Zhen and said: "Your Highness, can I go and check on the guards now?"
"No need." How could Li Zhen not understand Nalong's move to avoid suspicion? To be honest, in terms of status, in Li Zhen's mind, Nalong was far superior to a bullshit brother like Lao Liu, so how could he let Nalong
Long felt a little aggrieved and said with a faint smile: "This is the most trusted person of my king. I don't avoid anything. Whenever you have something to say, just say it. If you don't want to say it, then just ask. I don't have time to accompany you."
.”
Wang Fangdong didn't seem to expect that Li Zhen would speak so eloquently. He was stunned for a while. After a while, he turned back to look at the tall envoy. After getting Ken's signal, he turned his head and said:
"Forget it, just stay." After saying this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Your Highness, do you know that you are now in a dead end, and if you don't save yourself, you may die."
Ha, damn, that’s alarmist. It’s a lobbyist like Su Qin or Zhang Yi. Damn, he came to scare me in the middle of the night. Hey, I’m really scared! As soon as Li Zhen heard this, she guessed this short guy.
The tall Wang Fangdong is the so-called lobbyist. He can't get on the stage at all, and he doesn't bother to talk to him. He sneered, waved his hand to interrupt his nonsense, and looked at the tall envoy with sharp eyes like knives.
He said in a sincere tone: "Sixth brother, long time no see, how come you and your younger brother are also doing this trick of visiting anonymously? Isn't that too out of touch?"
"Hey, you know you can't hide it from your eighth brother, haha, you are just deceiving outsiders." The tall envoy burst into laughter, took off his bamboo hat, and revealed his true appearance, which was none other than King Li Min of Shu himself.
In the eyes of the world, King Li Min of Shu is a standard dandy, the most mindless type of young man, but these are just appearances. In fact, who dares to participate in the game of seizing the rightful son?
Foolishly, Li Zhen knew this well - Li Zhen had already seen through Lao Liu's disguise more than ten years ago. When he saw Lao Liu showing his true face in Lushan, he was not surprised at all. His expression
Calmly, he held his hands in greeting and said, "Sixth brother, if you have anything to say here, please tell me directly. You know my temperament. As long as everything can be accomplished, I can accomplish it. However, my father has a call.
Sixth brother still has to go to Chang'an with his younger brother."
Although Li Zhen's words were spoken very gently, they were unquestionably firm and left no room for negotiation. The king of Shu, Li Min, and his brother Li Zhen had been together for many years. Although they didn't have much contact with each other, they both knew each other.
At this time, when he saw Li Zhen saying this, he did not do anything. He shrugged his shoulders and said: "That case was not done by my brother, but by the prince's boy. I think the sixth brother knows this, but my brother wants to
I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Chang'an. Hey, not only will my brother not be able to go back, but my eighth brother may not be able to enter Chang'an either."
The words of Li Min, King of Shu, were not exaggerated at all. No one wanted to see Li Zhen bring Li Min back to Chang'an, not to mention that there was a lot of sand in the Yulin army now.
The territory of Qizhou is now covered with clouds, and people from all walks of life are complicated. God knows what will happen next. Li Zhen does not find it strange at all. On the contrary, the old Liu who has always pretended to be a pig and eats the tiger in front of him can actually do it quietly.
He avoided all kinds of surveillance people and quietly appeared in his camp. He was very curious and really wanted to hear what this sixth brother had to say.
"My little brother knows." Although Li Zhen was thinking about it in his heart, his face was very calm and he said calmly: "Brother Six, if you have any plans, you might as well tell him directly. There is no need to mention those shameless words.
Okay, little brother, just listen attentively."
"Okay, cool! This is my brother!" Li Min clapped his hands gently and said, "Brother came here today with the intention of cooperating with the eighth brother. I wonder what the eighth brother thinks?"
Cooperation? Damn it, what kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd? He shouted for cooperation without any end, ***, he ate my "shock group" in one bite, and then talked about cooperation with me, really he
Damn, you can talk! Li Zhen felt extremely bored, but her face remained calm. She glanced at Li Min and said, "How do you plan to cooperate with Brother Six? Please tell me clearly. I can't bear to guess riddles."
Li Min smiled and clapped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, okay, brother, that's what I've said. Hehe, the eighth brother came here to announce his brother's death. This is just a trap. Who else but the father has the ability to set up such a trap?"
The game is out, and you and I are all in the game now. If my brother can return to the capital safely, then this game will probably be broken. Therefore, I am afraid that my brother, the capital, will not be able to go back, at least not for now.
You and I are on the same boat now. The people waiting outside to take your and my brother's heads are probably old and young. Of course, my eighth brother is on an errand, and my brother will not make things difficult for you. He will definitely let his errand be done. But
There is one thing: give my brother some time to slow down and make some preparations. At least I can save your life and mine before we have to argue with each other. Is this possible?"
Take some time off? Hey, it seems that this guy is just trying to wait for the change. Damn, he is really not a fuel-efficient person! Li Zhen saw Lao Liu’s intentions at a glance. To be honest, he just wanted to wait for the change.
Time is just to leave room for Lao Wu's side to move. Without him, if time drags on, Qizhou will be in chaos. Because Qizhou is close to Gyeonggi, everyone's eyes will be on Qizhou.
Lao Wu, who is far away in Qizhou (Jinan, Shandong), is bound to take advantage of the situation. It is not impossible to raise a banner such as Qingjun Side. Even if he does not raise a banner, he will lead the army to kill them under the pretext of returning to Jingding Province.
The same goes for running to Chang'an. As long as Lao Wu makes a fuss, the capital will be shaken immediately. When the military situation is urgent, the army will inevitably go out. When the army is dispatched and the defense of the capital is empty, Lao San in the capital should be afraid.
If there is a chance, once the world is in chaos, it will be hard to say who will have the last laugh. At that time, even if the old man has three heads and six arms, he may not be able to prevent all the princes from rising up in rebellion. Li Zhen
I had already had several private discussions with the two advisors, and I knew what I was doing. When I saw Lao Liu seriously proposing to give him some time, I immediately found it funny, but I would not point it out, so I smiled and said: "
My younger brother is quite accommodating, but I'm afraid that my father won't be able to explain it to me. I wonder if Sixth Brother has any good ideas?"
"Okay, I will remember what my brother has done today. I will definitely be rewarded in the future. As long as my brother doesn't push me, my father will have his own ideas. He will be ill tomorrow and unable to leave." Li
He said with a stunned look on his face without hiding anything.
Sick? Ha, damn, this kid came up with such a bad idea, ***, Qizhou is only two or three days away from the capital, so why is it so difficult for the old man to send an imperial doctor? It won’t be possible by then
Revealing the secret? Well, no, there is something wrong here. If the imperial doctor sent is someone from the third brother, the disease may really be able to be faked. By then, I am afraid that the boss, fourth brother and the others will all tolerate it.
If I don't jump out, Qizhou may really become the source of chaos. If I'm in it, won't I be attacked from all sides? If I don't agree to this bastard, I'm afraid I'll have to be hit first before I can enter Qizhou.
He laid an ambush and fought with local snakes on other people's land. Wouldn't he definitely suffer the loss? Li Zhen's mind was moving quickly, and she vaguely guessed the plan of Lao San and his gang. It was difficult to determine whether he should agree to it or not.
, frowned, glanced at Nalong who was silent, suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, since Sixth Brother has this proposal, it's hard for me to refuse. As long as my father has no objection, I'm here
It’s easy to handle.”
"Okay, then it's settled. When the eighth brother arrives in Qizhou, my brother will be the host and I'll treat him to a drink. It's getting late, so I'll leave now." As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't say anything.
Giving Li Zhen a chance to stay, he smiled, turned around and led Wang Fangdong out of the tent.dd
