The candle light flickers on and off, flickering uncertainly.
Wei Jian's expression, along with the flickering candlelight, was also gloomy and uncertain.
The prince is finished!
What about yourself!
Wei Jian sat quietly on the chair, his expression uncertain.
"Sir!" A servant reported in a deep voice outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Wei Jian's eyes flickered slightly, he turned his head, looked at the figure at the door, and asked in a deep voice.
"Then Lu Heng is back!" The servant was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Wei Jian was suddenly startled, his face suddenly changed, and with a hint of uneasiness in his voice, he said in a deep voice, "When did this happen?"
"This evening!" replied the servant.
"Isn't he in Chengdu? Did you see it wrong?" Wei Jian felt faintly uneasy, and asked suspiciously with a hint of restlessness in his tone.
The servant was silent for a moment and replied firmly: "You can't be wrong, sir. My subordinates have personally seen him meet the proprietress who has the heart of Zi Jin!"
"Then, did he come back alone?" Wei Jian's eyelids couldn't help but tremble, and he felt vaguely that something was going to happen. But he didn't know what it was, let alone when it would happen.
"There are two guards accompanying us. One is Cang Xue from Zi Jin's Heart, and the other is a strong man who seems to have extremely high martial arts skills!" The servant hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to say something or not.
"Oh, he's just a warrior!" Hearing that the servant seemed to be very interested in the guard, Wei Jian sneered and said disdainfully.
He was a civil servant and was born in the imperial examination. In this great Zhou Dynasty where all the inferiors were good at education, he had the status that scholars dream of. He did not look down upon a martial artist.
"Also, Lu Heng didn't go anywhere else?" Wei Jian breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said lightly.
…
After a brief silence, the servant replied briefly and forcefully: "No!"
"You go down!" Wei Jian said yes and asked the servant to go back.
After seeing the shadow of the servant leaving, Wei Jian looked away from the door.
"Come out!" Wei Jian turned around and said to himself behind the bookshelf in the study, seemingly to himself.
Subtle footsteps came from behind the bookshelf.
A short man wearing a black gauze dress and a bamboo hat walked out from behind the bookshelf.
This person's steps are steady, his eyes are firm, and his figure is a little stooped, but he looks like he is accumulating strength. Judging from this person's behavior, he should be a master with special skills.
However, the strange knife hanging on this man's waist was a bit eye-catching.
It is a weapon similar to Tang Dao, but not Tang Dao. The blade is no more than three fingers wide and more than three feet long. The entire blade has a slight arc. Judging from the shape of the blade, it should be
Very suitable for chopping.
"Your Excellency Sasaki!" After seeing this person come out, Wei Jian stood up, bowed his hands, and bowed down to salute the person respectfully.
"Your prince is finished!" Sasaki, who was called your Excellency by Wei Jian, snorted. There was disdain for Leng Ao in his words.
"Yes!" Wei Jian smiled, paused, and continued: "However, the prince is just a pawn of Lord An. It doesn't matter!"
"The important thing is that after the crown prince is gone, the Great Zhou Dynasty will also be in chaos. At that time, as long as Mr. An gives way to the northwest pass, the northern Turks will be able to send their troops eastward. The Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely become a mess. And your Japanese country,
It will also usher in new opportunities for development. In Jiangnan during the Zhou Dynasty, haha, you should know how wealthy he is compared to Mr. Sasaki!" Wei Jian stroked his beard, smiled, and looked at Sasaki's expression.
"Haha, Han people, as far as I know, your Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has activated King Huainan. In addition, those generals who followed King Huainan in his southern and northern campaigns have also returned to battle. In the past month, the Turks in the north seem to be having a hard time.
!" Sasaki snorted coldly, looking at Wei Jian's expression with disdain.
"Ha, the general only knows one but not the other!" Wei Jian sneered, looked at Sasaki and said: "General, do you think that just one King of Huainan can save today's Great Zhou Dynasty?"
"Hmph!" Sasaki snorted coldly, staring at Wei Jian with fierce eyes, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the sneer he just made.
"General, don't blame me!" Wei Jian's smile froze, and he quickly offered his hand to Sasaki to apologize.
"Actually, as I just said, the prince is just a pawn placed by Mr. An on the surface to attract the emperor's attention. But the real backhand is the third prince, Prince Kang!" Wei Jian was silent, and then said deeply.
He said: "But King Kang's territory is in Shanxi!"
"What do you mean?" Sasaki's eyes lit up and he asked a little excitedly.
"Yes, if the crown prince dies, it will inevitably cause political turmoil. And at that time, once King Kang lets go of the gate of Shanxi, I would like to ask, in today's Great Zhou Dynasty, who can stop the Turkic cavalry from going south?" Wei Jian hesitated.
Beard smiled coldly, but the look on his face was a bit ferocious.
"Master Wei, please don't forget that King Kang is a son of the royal family. Even if he is listening to Master An, he will not just sit back and watch the Turks move south and ignore it!" Sasaki snorted coldly. The expression on his face was still that way.
The cold pride.
"Haha, General, who told you that Prince Kang's surname is Wu?" Wei Jian narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer.
Then, Wei Jian smiled coldly, leaned over and whispered in Sasaki's ear.
Sasaki's eyes were suddenly surprised.
"You, are you telling the truth?" Sasaki asked excitedly.
If what Mr. Wei said is true, then it is really the most bizarre news in the world. Moreover, if this matter is true, then the seemingly strong and strong country of Great Zhou is already on the verge of collapse.
And by then, it will be the best time for the Japanese Empire to re-enter the mainland and dominate the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Of course, I won't talk nonsense about such nonsense!" Wei Jian sneered and said with a gloomy expression.
Turning his head and looking at Sasaki's excited expression, Wei Jian narrowed his eyes slightly. After thinking for a while, he said to him: "Although Prince Zheng is escorted by Prince Huainan, it is still a drop in the bucket. Prince Kang, however, has Anjia behind him.
and the Turks. In the future, it is inevitable that Prince Kang will rule the world. However, Prince Kang will naturally reward those who have helped him twice as much. The extent of this reward, naturally, the greater the help, the greater the reward.
!Haha, General Sasaki, you know what to do, right?"
Sasaki laughed loudly: "Yo!"
"As long as you are ready, our Japanese army will land at any time and launch an attack on Dazhou!" Sasaki laughed loudly, looking extremely proud.
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Wei Jian chuckled, tapped his fingers on the table, and said in a deep voice: "If you pull a hair, your whole body will move. If you move it, your whole body will move. When Jiang Ning moves, the Great Zhou moves!"
Sasaki nodded in response.
"By the way, General Sasaki!" Wei Jian suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, he turned his head, looked at Sasaki and said: "Wei wants to ask you for a favor!"
"Haha, Mr. Wei, you and I will be colleagues from now on, why are you so polite!" Sasaki laughed loudly and said casually.
Colleagues?
Hearing Sasaki's words, even though Wei Jian was thoughtful, his eyelids twitched.
Japan has quite an appetite!
However, at this time, the two sides were still allies. Although Wei Jian was unhappy with the people of the Little Bird Kingdom, he still did not dare to show it.
He pretended not to hear, nodded and smiled, and then said, "Wei heard that the Japanese warriors have superb skills, especially ninjutsu, and they have unpredictable abilities."
Seeing Sasaki nod, Wei Jian smiled and said, "Wei wants to ask General Sasaki to help me kill someone!"
"Who?" Sasaki hummed, with a look of disapproval.
"Lu Heng, Lu Yongzheng!" Wei Jian knocked his hand on the table, paused slightly, and said in a deep voice.
…
The candles are bright and the room is as warm as spring.
At the table, Lu Heng and Liu Qingqing sat across from each other.
Liu Qingqing held her chin in her hand and looked at the chess game on the table quietly, her delicate eyebrows knitted together.
I have thought about it for a long time but don’t know how to take the next step.
He raised his head and saw his uncle holding tea, sipping it and looking at him with a smile.
Liu Qingqing couldn't help feeling resentful. She pouted and looked at Lu Heng: "Uncle!"
Alright alright!
Lu Heng suddenly lost his sovereignty due to an extremely destructive beast.
While drinking tea, Lu Heng suddenly pointed at a line on the chessboard and said in a fuss, "No, I forgot this path!"
Looking along where Lu Heng pointed, sure enough, there was a winding chess path leading directly to Lu Heng's camp.
Liu Qingqing smiled sweetly, picked up the chess pieces lightly, and successfully completed the last step with three jumps.
"Here, bring it!" Liu Qingqing's beautiful eyes flashed with pride, she stretched out her little hand, waved it in front of Lu Heng, and said with a triumphant smile.
"Hey!" Lu Heng looked sad and took out a silver bracelet from his waist with pain.
This bracelet was bought from a Tibetan when I was in Chengdu. According to the Tibetan, it can pray for blessings and keep you safe. Well, more importantly, it can keep your lover safe.
"What is this?" Under the dim light, Liu Qingqing looked at the bracelet in her hand with a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes, looking at the beautiful and mysterious patterns on it, and raised her head and asked.
"Ruyi bracelet!" Lu Heng smiled and pointed at the bracelet.
Then, he took out another similar bracelet from his pocket and put it on his wrist.
He chuckled: "It's also called a couple bracelet!"
He raised his wrist triumphantly and waved it in front of the woman's eyes.
Seeing the woman's pretty face blushing slightly, she lowered her head shyly.
Lu Heng felt proud and burst into laughter.
"Uncle!" Liu Qingqing's beautiful eyes were like water, and she looked at Lu Heng lovingly. Under the dim candlelight, the woman's charming and unparalleled face was so beautiful!
