I watched Xiao Shunzi packing her things, and felt confused for a while. I would be free tomorrow, but I couldn't be happy. After a long time, I made up my mind, why should I bother with someone who would definitely kill me tomorrow?
.At this time, the servants of Prince Yong's Mansion came to report that Guan Xiu, Dong Zhi, and Gou Lian came to see them. They came to make a last effort, and felt warm in my heart. In any case, they are all good people. Since from now on,
Since we no longer have the chance to drink together at the same table, we might as well go on a night tour by candlelight. I smiled and asked the servant to invite them in.
Guan Xiu and the others were all smart people. After a few words, they knew that I had made up my mind, so they didn’t say much. We talked to our heart’s content and had no sleep all night. At dawn, I looked at the dawn outside the window and smiled.
"There is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. If we say goodbye today, we may become strangers when we meet next year."
Gou Lian said sadly: "Since Sui Yun knows this, why do you still seek refuge with King Qi?"
I smiled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is reckless and straightforward. I will only spend a few days under his command. After a while, I will leave Chang'an. By then, we will be friends rather than enemies, so you don't have to worry about it."
Dong Zhi said in a low voice: "I'm afraid His Highness the King of Qi won't let you go either?"
I just said lightly: "Please go back, everyone. Jiang left Prince Yong's Mansion today. His Highness has already said that he would see Jiang off. Sui Yun cannot go to see His Highness like this. He must take a shower and change clothes before he can say goodbye to His Highness."
Guan Xiu stood up and said: "In that case, we won't disturb Sui Yun anymore. We will see you off soon and we won't go, so as not to be sad and ecstatic at parting. It's just a farewell."
After sending away the three counselors, I walked into the back room. This room is a special bathroom. In the middle of the room is a bathtub about five feet wide. The entire pool is paved with bluestone. The water inlet is in the center of the bath. Above it is
There is a water lotus with copper pipes laid under the bluestone at the bottom of the pond. After heating the clear spring water brought from the garden, press the water inlet mechanism, and the warm clear spring water will spray out from the lotus nozzle. I went in
At that time, Xiao Shunzi was pouring water into the pool. The mist was everywhere and the beads were flying. I smiled slightly. The enjoyment of the royal family was indeed extraordinary. I would think so every time I came in.
I took off my clothes, walked into the bath, and enjoyed the comfort of the hot water bath. I smiled and said, "Xiao Shunzi, do you think I can build a bath like this in the future?"
Xiao Shunzi didn't answer my words. I was a little surprised. When I looked back, Xiao Shunzi seemed to be in a daze. I shook my head strangely, but I didn't wake him up. He wouldn't hide his thoughts in front of me.
Soon he had something to say to me.
After bathing, I put on the clothes prepared by Xiao Shunzi. This was what I specially ordered. From the innermost underwear to the outermost Confucian shirt, they were all white in color. When I carefully put on each piece of clothes
, Xiao Shunzi suddenly fell to his knees and said sadly: "Master, please don't embarrass yourself like this."
I was slightly startled, and when I was about to take the robe he handed me, I stopped and asked, "Xiao Shunzi, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Shunzi said: "Young Master wants to avenge your wife. Xiao Shunzi knows that. May I ask what strategies you have to avenge your wife?"
I looked at him and said calmly: "You and I are closely related. I won't hide it from you. As early as I knew the culprit, I had three strategies in my mind."
Xiao Shunzi said: "Master, what are you going to do?"
I took the Confucian shirt in his hand and said slowly: "The next step is the most difficult. After I escape from Yongdu, I will hide in the market and wait for the opportunity. The so-called wise man will always have a care in his mind. If you wait carefully, you will eventually have the opportunity to assassinate.
Li An, even if the assassination failed, the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant nest. I traveled around the world, cultivating forces that were dissatisfied with Li An. Now that Dongchuan has not sincerely submitted, Nanchu will soon re-establish a country and use the power of the world.
If King Yong is still watching from the side, I will have my revenge one day. Just killing the prince of a country is not a trivial matter. After it is done, I need to dispose of all the wealth of my subordinates. From then on, I will wander around the world, and if I am not careful, I will be defeated.
fate."
Xiao Shunzi asked in a low voice: "May I ask the master's strategy?"
I put on my Confucian shirt and said calmly: "Zhongce is better. Prince Li An's right-hand man is King Qi. Although King Qi is reckless, he is rough on the outside and delicate on the inside. He is really a hero of the world. If there is no King Yong, King Qi will be a good king."
I took refuge in the King of Qi, made suggestions for him, provoked discord between his brothers, and when the time came, I caused him to cause civil strife in Xiao Qiang. Whether I benefited King Yong or King Qi, I eventually made the prince break his wings and die, even if I failed to achieve my goal.
, you can also cause civil strife in Dayong, one to avenge the country, and the other to avenge private hatred."
Xiao Shunzi walked forward on his knees and said, "Master, what's your advice?"
I tied my shirt belt and said with a smile: "This is the most upright policy. I surrendered to King Yong, borrowed a knife to kill people, and ordered His Highness King Yong to kill his brother and younger brother, forcing my father to abdicate. Not only will my great revenge be avenged, but the world will also get a wise king and holy master.
The dawn of unification is just around the corner, and I, Jiang Zhe, can also leave my name in history. After this is accomplished, I can either retire to the countryside or enjoy wealth and wealth in peace. Isn't this the best policy?"
Xiao Shunzi said solemnly: "Young Master, Xiao Shunzi has always been by your side these years. How could Xiao Shunzi not understand what Young Master is thinking? He clearly knows that surrendering to King Yong is the best choice. Why are you so stubborn? Young Master's
The enemy is also King Yong's enemy. As long as the young master surrenders to King Yong, when King Yong ascends the throne, the young master's great revenge will be avenged. The young master still refuses to submit to King Yong, and deliberately provokes him, forcing King Yong to kill the young master.
Soon after, in fact, as long as the young master obeys King Yong and waits for revenge, the young master can go back to the mountains and forests, and he can also win a peaceful life for the rest of his life. Why take such risks? Although the young master has extraordinary medical skills, the poison hidden by the Yong royal family may not be able to save him.
If the young master is unlucky, what's the point of killing King Yong if Xiao Shunzi kills him?"
I said calmly: "Why don't I understand these things? But in my life, I can do whatever it takes to deal with the enemy, but I never use my scheming approach to those close to me. Your Highness King Yong, the Mingjun of Kuang Dynasty, treats Sui Yun with all his heart.
How much thought has been put into Yun alone, thousands of miles away, His Highness undressed and pushed food, Sui Yun is not a hard-hearted person, how can he not be moved, but I have been favored by Nan Chu in front of me, and I have a grudge with Dayong in the back, there is already a gap in my heart.
What's more, if I sincerely submit to you, I will do my best to plan for His Highness. Without my planning, His Highness may not have a chance of winning. Although it is tragic, my reputation is flawless. If I submit to Your Highness, Suiyun is a mortal, and I will inevitably take the opportunity to settle my personal grudges for the sake of peace.
My selfishness hurts the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers. If I am impartial, how can I be worthy of the fragrant soul under Piaoxiang Spring? After thinking about it, I neither want to cause a stigma to His Highness in the history, nor do I want to disgrace my wife Piaoxiang. I can only give up.
It's difficult. As for the middle strategy, although it doesn't hurt my will, it will inevitably cause great harm to King Yong. I feel guilty that I can't serve such a wise king, and how can I bear to hurt him, so I have to adopt the lowest strategy."
Xiao Shunzi said: "Young Master refuses to serve King Yong, but it is for the sake of King Yong. But why should he force King Yong to kill the Young Master? If he agrees falsely, there will be no difficulty in escaping Chang'an after a while."
I smiled and said: "I may not be very cautious in small things in my life, but I will never lie or deceive in such matters. At the beginning, I refused to work for Prince De, and I never lied to him. Today, since I don't
I am willing to work for King Yong, but I will never lie to him. Besides, if King Yong is not forced to kill me, how can I give up my intention of submitting to King Yong. Xiao Shunzi, please remember, I am cheating to death today, which is indeed a bit dangerous.
, so if I am unlucky, please remember not to avenge me and hurt King Yong. His Highness King Yong is not wrong. An overlord can never be soft-hearted. I just want you to remember that one day you will kill Li An for me, and then take me with you.
Will you agree to return my ashes to Nanchu and bury me and Piao Xiang together?"
Xiao Shunzi bowed his head to the ground, and after a long time he cried and said: "How could I not listen to the master's orders? If the master is unfortunate, after I kill that Li An, I will return to Nanchu and guard the master's tomb for the rest of his life."
"
I said calmly: "Thank you very much. In fact, I have a good chance of winning. You don't have to be sad. After passing this level, there will be nothing in the world that can bind Jiang. Even if it's revenge, I won't sacrifice the rest of my life. You
You can rest assured.”
Xiao Shunzi remained silent. I knew he didn't believe me. In fact, what I said was true. I would never go crazy for revenge.
In King Yong's study, Li Zhi silently looked at a silver pot on the desk. Shi Yu stood in front of the desk and said worriedly: "Why didn't His Highness use the Yuanyang pot secretly hidden by Dayong instead of this hidden edge pot?"
Woolen cloth?"
Li Zhi said lightly: "Although the Yuanyang Pot secretly made by the previous dynasty is reliable, Jiang Zhe is familiar with the classics and is good at identification, so he may not fail to recognize the Yuanyang Pot. This Zangfeng Pot was sent by my subordinate in Nanchu. The agency
It's exquisite and has no flaws, so just use this pot. The ecstasy pill won't change the color of the silver pot, and Jiang Zhe won't notice it."
Shi Yu had followed Li Zhi for many years. He could feel the sadness in Li Zhi's heart and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, just now Guan Xiu and the others came to report that Jiang Suiyun claimed that he would not stay with the King of Qi for long. If Your Highness cannot bear it, you might as well let him go.
"
Li Zhi said indifferently: "Do you really think so?"
Shi Yu hesitated to speak, and finally said: "It is all the fault of my subordinates. I encourage Your Highness to seek talents. However, now that His Highness cannot pacify Nanchu and cannot obtain talents, it is all the fault of his subordinates. But this person,
If I don't kill him, I'm afraid my subordinates will be restless day and night."
Li Zhi sneered slightly and said: "The problem with you is that I am too confident and think that all the wise men in the world will serve me alone. That's all. Let's go to the front hall to bid farewell to Jiang Zhe. It's a pity that the peerless talent has been buried deep in the loess since then. This is my fault."
The king’s sin is also his misfortune.”
Not far from Prince Yong's Mansion, a gorgeous carriage was waiting quietly. In the carriage, King Qi Li Xian was beaming with joy. Sitting opposite him was Princess Qin Zheng. Today, Qin Zheng is no longer a woman disguised as a man, but is dressed in a Yue White House outfit.
Scanning her eyebrows lightly, she saw the heavenly fragrance and beautiful scenery, and said calmly: "Isn't it that Hanlin scholar Jiang Zhe? Why does His Highness value him so much?"
A trace of ridicule flashed in Li Xian's eyes, and he said in a sincere tone: "Back then, Zheng'er, you had a sharp tongue and could not convince Prince De, but this man convinced Zhao Jue in just a few words. It is said that this man accompanied Zhao Jue to pacify Shu. I have detailed
After careful study of Zhao Jue's strategy for pinging Shu, I saw that his style is unusual, which shows that Jiang Zhe is really talented. What's more, I have loved this man's style for a long time. Even his second brother loves him very much.
What's wrong with me being so humble? I'm not talking about you. Zheng'er, you are a talented woman in this world. With your family background, appearance, and talent, you are the perfect choice for the best. But your only flaw is that you lack the temperament of humility and tolerance. No wonder, you
She is the proud daughter of heaven. I have something to say. If you offend Mr. Jiang, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
A trace of anger flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes. Back then, he was ordered to approach the King of Qi. The King of Qi was young and charming, and soon he fell in love with Qin Zheng. In Southern Chu, he fell into the trap of the King of Qi because of jealousy.
After an overnight romance, she became the fiancée of King Qi. However, from then on, King Qi returned to his old ways. He was either walking around or chasing eagles and beasts. He was as distant from her as she was, sometimes as dear as honey, sometimes as cold as ice. She had not yet married.
In the palace, there were three or four concubine children. Unfortunately, he was so obsessed that he couldn't extricate himself. He didn't get married until recently according to the emperor's order. However, although Li Xian respected him very much on the surface, he set up a forbidden area in the inner courtyard of the palace.
I also cried to my master and father about the sensuality inside, but they all said that this was the romantic nature of King Qi. I could only abide by the ways of women and use tenderness to bind me. In desperation, I could only turn a blind eye.
, but today the King of Qi became more serious and even made himself bow to a prisoner of Nanchu. However, she thought about it and finally did not want to fall out with the King of Qi, so she could only endure it and said: "I obey my orders."
Li Xian smiled lightly. He knew this smart woman very well. She was arrogant, but she was a little less gentle. She didn't have too much persuasion. He knew that Qin Zheng would not openly disobey his orders. Looking at the woman who was already close to the agreement,
At that time, Li Xiandao said: "Okay, let's go to Prince Yong's Mansion now."
The hall of Prince Yong's Mansion is different. It is not as magnificent as other palaces. It is wide, far-reaching, solemn and solemn. Li Zhi is also dressed in plain clothes today. He originally had mourning in his heart. When he saw Jiang Zhe, he was stunned.
, Jiang Zhe is also dressed in plain clothes. Taking advantage of his delicate and elegant, slightly haggard appearance, he looks even more graceful and graceful.
He felt a sense of regret in his heart, and his eyes fell on Shi Yu. Because he wanted to kill Jiang Zhe today, Li Xian only brought Shi Yu to see him off. Shi Yu's eyes were cold and he shook his head slightly. Li Zhi no longer hesitated and said with a smile: "Today
I want to see you off, sir. I know that your character is noble, so I can only send you off with a glass of fine wine. Please don’t refuse, sir." After saying that, Shi Yu brought a black wooden tray with a Zangfeng pot and two silver cups on it.
My eyes passed over the Zangfeng Pot, and I couldn't help but smile. I designed this Zangfeng Pot myself and sold it through Tianji Pavilion. In order to get a high price, I only made three of them, each worth a thousand gold. I never expected that we would see this pot again in Dayong today.
There is an interlayer at the bottom that can hold a cup of venom. If you want to use this pot to harm someone, just inject the venom into the bottom of the pot. When pouring wine, just press the lotus carving on the handle of the pot, and the venom in the bottom of the pot will flow through the wall to the spout.
, pour the lotus heart carved next to the pot mouth into the wine glass. Using poison in this way can kill thousands of people without revealing their identity. Of course, the poison must not change the color of the silver pot. This can avoid anything.
Anyone can use the Hidden Edge Pot to harm others, just to avoid suspicion among drinkers. I didn’t expect that the Hidden Edge Pot was used on me today. I wonder if this is self-inflicted?
Li Zhi picked up the Zangfeng pot, first poured a glass of poisonous wine, and then moved his thumb to pour himself a cup of pure wine. Putting down the wine pot, he picked up his own wine glass and said with a forced smile: "Sir, please drink this cup to the full, and you will be prosperous from now on."
, the clouds are rising straight up."
I took the glass of poisonous wine and thought, if I had worked so hard for this man, I would probably end up with just this glass of poisonous wine. I looked at King Yong and saw him forcing a smile on his face. I smiled lightly, thinking of this man's past favor.
He couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness, the Dragon Sun and the Heavenly Watch, are beyond words. From now on, as long as you cultivate military armor externally and moral governance internally, even if the prince is afraid, he will not dare to provoke easily. As for other matters, there are wise men who will plan for your highness.
Zhe bids farewell to Your Highness today, and I may never see you again. I wish Your Highness to rule the world as soon as possible, bring peace to the world, and make the people happy. Although Suiyun is far away from the rivers and lakes, I will pray for Your Highness day and night." These words are all from the bottom of my heart.
, I really don’t blame him. He wanted to kill me because I pushed him too hard. A real dragon has its own scales. Thinking that we won’t see each other again after today, I couldn’t help but say a few words from my heart. I picked up the wine glass and I can tell the difference.
The poison in the wine, the Wandujiang I prepared is also highly poisonous, but it can protect my heart and save my life. Tonight is my chance to cheat death. Raise the silver cup, I will drink this cup
Poisonous wine.
Li Zhi took the wine glass from Jiang Zhe and felt very uneasy. He had never done anything like this to kill a talented person, and he felt a little ashamed. At this moment, after hearing Jiang Zhe's heartfelt words, his powerful right hand unexpectedly
He began to tremble. Seeing that Jiang Zhe was about to drink the poisonous wine, the blood in his chest surged, and he suddenly reached out to hold down the wine glass.
I looked at Li Zhi's hand on the wine glass in confusion, and at his pale face. My heart was in confusion. Although Li Zhi was just impulsive at first, he quickly calmed down. He took the wine glass and said lightly: "Mr.
He is a scribe, but his mind is not inferior to that of a warrior on the battlefield. He should use a big cup, not this silver cup. Come, bring me my golden helmet."
Not long after, the servants brought the golden helmet that Li Zhi wore to fight the enemy. Li Zhi did not use the mechanism of the Zangfeng pot, opened the lid, poured all the wine in the pot into the golden helmet, and raised his hands.
He stood up and said: "Jiang Zhe, although you are a talented man from the prosperous land of Southern Chu, your ambition and character are better than my border warriors from Dayong. I will give you wine with a golden helmet and wish you a safe journey." At this moment,
Li Zhi no longer had any resentment and resentment in his heart, but felt peaceful. He thought to himself, "I cannot let Jiang Zhe be used by me. It is because I lack virtue and talent. If I am good at killing innocent sages, even if the throne is in front of me, what do I have?"
