Chapter 30 Chapter Twenty-Nine

Chapter 29 of the First Southern Chu Champion I watched Xiao Shunzi pack up my things, and I was at a loss for a while. I would be free tomorrow, but I couldn’t be happy. After a long time, I became ruthless. Why should I bother with a person who will definitely poison me tomorrow? .At this time, the servants of King Yong's mansion came to report that Guan Xiu, Dong Zhi, and Gou Lian had come to ask for an audience.They are here to make their last effort, they feel warm in their hearts, no matter what, they are good people, since from now on, there will be no chance to drink together at the same table, so why not take a night out with candles.I smiled and asked the servant to invite them in.

Guan Xiu and the others are all smart people. After talking for a few words, they knew that my mind had been made up, so they didn't talk too much. We talked to our heart's content without sleep all night.When it was dawn, I looked at the dawn light outside the window and said with a smile: "There is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. If we say goodbye today, we will meet each other in the next year. I am afraid that we will become strangers." Gou Lian said sadly: "Since Suiyun knows this, why does he still seek refuge with the King of Qi?" I smiled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi is reckless and straightforward. I only spend a few days under his command. After a while, I will leave Chang'an. At that time, 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 Royal Highness King Qi won't let you go?" I just said indifferently: "Guys, please go back. Jiang Mou left Prince Yong's Mansion today. His Highness has already said that he will see Jiang Mou off. Sui Yun can't go to see His Highness like this. He has to take a bath and change clothes before saying goodbye to His Highness." Guan Xiu got up and said: "Since that's the case, we won't bother Suiyun anymore. We will see you off later, and we won't go, so as not to part with the heartbroken and ecstasy, just say goodbye."

After seeing off the three advisers, I walked into the back room, which is a special bathroom. In the middle of the room is a bath about five feet wide. The whole pool is paved with bluestone. The water inlet is in the center of the bath. A lotus out of water is covered with copper pipes under the bluestone at the bottom of the pool. After heating the clear spring water drawn from the garden, press the water inlet mechanism, and the warm clear spring water will spray out from the lotus nozzle.When I went in, Xiao Shunzi was pouring water into the pond, the water was misty, flying pearls and jade, I smiled slightly, the enjoyment of the royal family was really extraordinary, every time I came in I would think so.

I took off my clothes and walked into the bath, enjoying the comfort of the hot water bath, I smiled and said, "Xiao Shunzi, tell me, can I build a bath like this in the future?" Xiao Shunzi didn't answer my words, I was a little surprised, looking back, Xiao Shunzi seemed to be wandering in the sky, I shook my head strangely, but I didn't wake him up, he would not hide his mind from me, I think very Soon he will have something to say to me. After taking a bath, I put on the clothes prepared by Xiao Shunzi, which I specially ordered. From the innermost underwear to the outermost Confucian shirt, they are all white in color. When I put on each piece of clothes seriously , Xiao Shunzi suddenly fell to his knees, and said in a mournful voice, "My lord, please don't embarrass yourself like this."

I was slightly taken aback, the hand that was about to take the robe he handed over stopped, and asked, "Xiao Shunzi, what are you talking about?" Xiao Shunzi said: "The young master is determined to avenge his wife, and Xiao Shunzi knows it. May I ask you, if you want to avenge your wife, what are your strategies?" I looked at him and said lightly: "You and I are closely related, I will not hide it from you, as long as I know the culprit, I have three strategies in mind." Xiao Shunzi said: "May I ask what is the best plan?" I took the Confucian shirt in his hand, and said slowly: "The next strategy is the most difficult. After I get out of Yongdu, I will hide in the market and wait for the opportunity. The so-called wise man has a lot of worries, and he must be careless. Wait carefully, and finally have a chance to assassinate Li An, even if the assassination fails, the dike of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest. I travel the world and cultivate forces that are dissatisfied with Li An. Now that Dongchuan has not obeyed wholeheartedly, Nanchu will re-establish the country in a few days. With the help of the world, With King Yong watching over him, I will have a day of revenge. It is not a trivial matter to kill the prince of a country. After the matter is completed, I need to dissipate all the wealth of my subordinates and wander the world from now on. And if I am not careful, I will be defeated fate."

Xiao Shunzi asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhongshi?" I put on my Confucian shirt and said lightly: "The middle strategy is better. Prince Li An's right-hand man is King Qi. Although King Qi is reckless, he is thick on the outside and thin on the inside. He is really a hero in the world. If there is no King Yong, it is not bad for King Qi to be the king. I took refuge in King Qi, made suggestions for him, provoked discord between his brothers, and when the right time came, I made him rebel against Xiao Qiang. No matter whether it was cheaper for King Yong or King Qi, I would eventually let the prince break his wings and die, even if he failed to achieve his goal. , it can also cause internal strife in Dayong, revenge for the country, and self-hate for Erxue."

Xiao Shunzi walked forward on his knees and said, "May I ask you what is the best policy?" I put on my shirt and said with a smile: "This is the best policy. I submit to King Yong, borrow a knife to kill people, and make His Royal Highness King Yong kill his brothers and brothers, and force his father to abdicate. Not only will my revenge be avenged, but the world will also get a wise king and a holy lord. The dawn of unification is just around the corner, and I, Jiang Zhe, can leave my name in history, and after the event is completed, I can either retire to the countryside, or enjoy wealth and honor, isn't this the best policy?"

Xiao Shunzi said solemnly: "Young Master, Xiao Shunzi has been serving you all these years. How can Xiao Shunzi not understand what you are thinking? You clearly know that joining King Yong is the best choice. Why are you so stubborn? The enemy is also the enemy of King Yong. As long as the young master submits to King Yong, the time when King Yong ascends the great treasure is the time when the young master's revenge will be avenged. Then quickly, in fact, as long as the young master obeys King Yong, after the revenge, the young master will go back to the mountains and enjoy the rest of the year, why take such a risk, although the young master has extraordinary medical skills, the poison hidden by the Dayong royal family may not be able to save him. If the young master is unlucky, what's the use of Xiao Shunzi killing King Yong?"

I said lightly: "I don't understand these things, but I have acted all my life. I can use all means against my enemies, but I have never used my scheming against those close to me. His Royal Highness King Yong, Kuang Dai Ming Jun, has a heart-to-heart for Suiyun. One person, Yun, has put in so much thought, thousands of miles away, His Highness undresses and pushes food, Suiyun is not a heart of stone, how can he not be indifferent, but I have received the favor of Nan Chu first, and I have grudges with Dayong later, so there is already a gap in my heart. What's more, if we sincerely follow each other, we must try our best to plan for His Highness. Without my plan, His Highness may not have no chance of winning. Although it is tragic, but his reputation is flawless. I am selfish and hurt the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers. If I am impartial, how can I be worthy of Piaoxiangquan's Xianghun? It's difficult. As for the middle strategy, although it doesn't hurt my will, it will inevitably hurt King Yong greatly. I feel guilty for not being able to work for such a wise king, and I can't bear to hurt him, so I have to adopt the worst strategy."

Xiao Shunzi said: "Young Master refuses to serve King Yong, but it is for the sake of King Yong, but why force King Yong to kill Young Master? If he falsely agrees, there will be no difficulty in escaping from Chang'an after a while." I smiled and said: "I have acted all my life, and I may not be very cautious in small matters, 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. Now that I don't I am willing to work for King Yong, and I will never lie to him. Besides, if I don’t force King Yong to kill me, how can I stop submitting to King Yong? Xiao Shunzi, remember, it is indeed dangerous for me to pretend to die today , so if I am unlucky, you remember, don’t avenge me and hurt King Yong. His Highness King Yong is not wrong. An overlord must never soften his heart. I just want you to remember that one day you will kill Li An for me, and then take me with you. I will return my ashes to Nanchu and bury me with Piaoxiang, will you agree?" Xiao Shunzi bowed his head on the ground, and cried after a long time: "Young master's order, how could this slave not listen, if you are unlucky, after I kill Li An, I will go back to Nanchu and guard the tomb for you for the rest of your life. " I said lightly: "Thank you very much. In fact, I have a great chance of winning. You don't have to be sad. After passing this level, there will be nothing in the world that can restrain Jiang. Even if I take revenge, I will not sacrifice the rest of my life. You You can rest assured." Xiao Shunzi remained silent, I knew he didn't believe me, but what I said was true, I would never go crazy for revenge. In King Yong's study room, Li Zhi silently looked at a silver jug ​​on the desk, while Shi Yu stood in front of the desk and said worriedly, "Why doesn't your highness use the mandarin duck jug hidden in Dayong's secret possession, but use this Tibetan Fenghu jug?" Woolen cloth?" Li Zhi said indifferently: "Although the secret mandarin duck teapot made by the previous dynasty is reliable, Jiang Zhe is familiar with the classics and is good at forensics, so he may not be unaware of the mandarin duck teapot. This Tibetan Feng teapot was sent by the king's subordinates in Southern Chu. Exquisite and flawless, let's use this pot, the ecstasy pill will not 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 saying: "Your Highness, just now Guan Xiu and the others came to report that Jiang Suiyun claimed that he would not serve the King of Qi for a long time. If Your Highness can't 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's all my subordinate's fault, I encourage Your Highness to seek talented people, but now Your Highness can't pacify Southern Chu, and secondly, it's my subordinate's fault, but this person, If you don't kill him, I'm afraid your subordinates will be restless day and night." Li Zhi sneered slightly and said, "It's nothing to do with you, it's because I'm too confident, thinking that all the wise men in the world will serve alone, that's all, let's bid farewell to Jiang Zhe in the front hall, poor peerless talent, buried deep in the loess from now on, this is me The king's sin is also his misfortune." Not far from Prince Yong's Mansion, a gorgeous carriage was waiting quietly. In the carriage, Qi Wang Li Xian was very happy, and sitting opposite him was Princess Qin Zheng. Today, Qin Zheng is no longer a woman disguised as a man, but dressed in a white palace dress. Sweeping her crescent eyebrows lightly, with a heavenly fragrance and national beauty, she said lightly: "Isn't that the Hanlin scholar Jiang Zhe? Why does His Highness value him so much?" A trace of sarcasm flashed in Li Xian's eyes, and he said sincerely: "Back then, you were as sharp as a knife, and you didn't convince Prince De, but this man convinced Zhao Jue with a few words. It is said that this man accompanied Zhao Jue to Pingshu. A careful study of Zhao Jue's strategy for Pingshu shows that his style is unusual, so it can be seen that Jiang Zhe is indeed talented, not to mention that I love this person's demeanor for a long time, even the second brother loves him very much. There's nothing wrong with me making a fuss, I'm not talking about you, Zheng'er, you are a talented woman in the world, your family background, appearance and talent are all the top choices, but your only flaw is that you lack humility and tolerance, no wonder, you She is the proud daughter of heaven, and this king has something to say, if you offend Mr. Jiang, don't blame this king for being ruthless." A flash 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 suave, and Qin Zheng soon fell in love with him. In Nanchu, he fell into the trap of King Qi because of jealousy. One night, she became the fiancee of King Qi, but from then on, King Qi reverted to his old ways, either walking on horseback, or chasing eagles and beasts, treating him as if he was away, sometimes as dear as honey, sometimes as cold as ice, and he hadn't married yet. In the palace, there are three or four concubine children.I hate myself for being fascinated and unable to extricate myself, until recently I was married by the emperor's order, but although Li Xian respected himself very much on the surface, he set a forbidden area in the inner courtyard of the palace, where he was sensual, and he once asked his master and father Crying, but they all said that this is the true nature of Qi Wang, and they can only abide by women's morals, fetters with tenderness, in desperation, they can only turn a blind eye to close one eye, but today Qi Wang intensified, and let himself treat A Southern Chu captive lowered her head, but after much deliberation, she finally did not want to fall out with King Qi, so she had to bear with it and said, "I obey." Li Xian smiled faintly. He knew this intelligent woman very well. She was proud and arrogant, but she was a little less gentle. He didn't try to persuade her too much. He knew that Qin Zheng would not overtly disobey his orders.Seeing that the appointed time was approaching, Li Xian said, "Okay, let's go to Prince Yong's Mansion." The hall of Prince Yong's Mansion is different. It is not as magnificent as other royal mansions. It is just spacious, far-reaching, solemn and solemn. Li Zhi is also dressed in plain clothes today. He originally had a heart of mourning in his heart. When he saw Jiang Zhe, he was stunned. , Jiang Zhe was also dressed in plain clothes, taking advantage of his delicate and elegant appearance with a slightly haggard appearance, he looked even more graceful. Feeling regretful in his heart, his eyes fell on Shi Yu.Because Jiang Zhe was going to be poisoned 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 didn't hesitate any longer, and said with a smile, "I'm seeing you off today, I know you have a noble character, so I can only see you off with a glass of fine wine. Don't refuse, sir." After finishing speaking, Shi Yu brought a black wooden tray with a Tibetan Fenghu pot and Two silver cups. My eyes glanced at the Tibetan Fenghu, and I couldn't help but smile. I personally designed this Tibetan Fenghu and sold it through Tianji Pavilion. In order to get a high price, I only made three of them. There is an interlayer at the bottom, which can hold a cup of venom. If you use this pot to harm someone, you just need to inject the poison into the bottom of the pot. When pouring wine, you just need to hold down the lotus flower carving on the top of the pot, and the poison at the bottom of the pot will flow to the mouth of the pot through the wall. , pour the lotus heart carved next to the mouth of the pot into the wine glass, use poison in this way, even if no one knows it, even if you kill thousands of people, you will not show it. Of course, the poison must not change the color of the silver pot. Everyone can use the Tibetan Fenghu to harm others, and it is also to make the drinker not suspicious.Unexpectedly, the Tibetan Fenghu was used on myself today, I don't know if this is self-inflicted? Li Zhi picked up the Tibetan front pot, first poured a glass of poisoned wine, then moved his thumb to pour himself a glass of clean wine, put down the wine pot, picked up his own wine glass, and forced a smile: "Sir, please drink this glass to the full, and you will be prosperous from now on." , Qing Yun straight up." I took the glass of poisoned wine and thought to myself, if I worked so hard for this person, I am afraid that this glass of poisoned wine will be what I get in the end. Looking at King Yong, seeing him forced a smile, I smiled faintly, thinking of this person's previous favor, He couldn't help opening his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness is very expensive. From now on, as long as he cultivates military armor externally and cultivates morality internally, even if the crown prince is afraid, he will not dare to provoke easily. As for other matters, there will be sages to plan for His Royal Highness. Zhe bid farewell to His Royal Highness today, and we may not see each other again today, I hope His Highness will soon rule the world, bring peace to the world, and peace for the people, even though Suiyun is far away from the rivers and lakes, I will pray for His Royal Highness day and night." My words are all from the bottom of my heart , I really don't blame him, he wanted to kill me because I forced him too hard, the real dragon has its own scales, thinking that we won't see each other again after today, I couldn't help saying a few words from my heart, holding up the wine glass, I can tell The poison in the wine, the Wandujiang I prepared is also a highly poisonous medicine, but it can protect the heart and save my life. Tonight is a good opportunity for me to feign death.Lift up the silver cup, and I'll drink this poisoned cup. Li Zhi took the wine glass from Jiang Zhe, feeling very uneasy in his heart. He had never done such a thing of killing a talented person, so he felt a little ashamed. Trembling, seeing that Jiang Zhe was about to drink the poisoned wine, the blood in his chest surged, and he suddenly reached out and held down the wine glass. I looked suspiciously at Li Zhi's hand on the wine glass, his pale face, and my heart was in confusion. Although Li Zhi was impulsive at first, he calmed down quickly. He took the wine glass and said calmly: "Although Mr. He is a scribe, but his spirit is not inferior to a warrior on the battlefield. You should use a big cup instead of this silver cup. Come, bring me my golden helmet." Not long after, the servants who served brought Li Zhi's helmet with the golden armor that Li Zhi wore to kill the enemy. Li Zhi did not use the mechanism of the hidden front pot, opened the lid, poured all the wine in the pot into the golden helmet, and raised his hands He got up and said: "Jiang Zhe, although you are a talented person in the prosperous place of Southern Chu, your will and character are better than my border warriors in Dayong. This king will give you wine with a golden helmet, and I hope you will have a smooth journey." At this moment, There is no resentment or resentment in Li Zhi's heart, but peace. He thought, Jiang Zhe can't be used by me. It's because I lack virtue and ability. If I kill innocent sages without permission, the emperor is in front of me, so what do I have? Eligible to sit on it. Chapter 30 Wind Tiger Cloud Dragon In December of the first year of Zhihua in Southern Chu, Jiang Zhe was imprisoned in Yongwang's mansion. Although the king treated him with more courtesy, Zhe's ambition was unyielding. With a noble character, he gave him a golden helmet with wine from the imperial court. Zhe Nai was so grateful that he descended to King Yong. ——"The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties·Jiang Suiyun Biography" I took the golden helmet almost subconsciously, my mind was full of the scene of li zhi pressing on the wine glass, he actually let me go, let me offend a mad student who has repeatedly offended him, and he can still ruin his career A poisonous thorn in the heart.For some reason, my tears fell drop by drop, falling into the golden helmet, falling on the snow-colored skirt, I could hardly move, remembering that once Prince De realized that I could not serve Nanchu loyally, he would treat me very badly. Be careful, I am recuperating in Jianye, and Prince De’s spies are always watching me, remembering the last time I made an admonition letter, I was devoted to Nanchu, but what I got in exchange was only reprimand. It was only then that I discovered that these were buried deep in my heart. This was a sad past that I couldn't even realize, or didn't want to think about. I picked up the golden helmet and drank the fine wine in the helmet without worrying about the splashing of the wine. I thought to myself, this is probably the reason why Zhuge Wuhou worked so hard.The wine was delicious, and I felt like my chest was on fire. I raised my golden helmet, and I bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Your Highness is very kind, although I am so heartbroken, I can't repay anything. Willing to serve His Highness." Li Zhi was already disheartened, but unexpectedly I surrendered suddenly. For a moment, I didn't know what to say. It was Shi Yu who was smart enough to push Li Zhi lightly. Li Zhi quickly stepped forward to help me up, and said excitedly: "Sir, you actually changed your mind, my lord, I really don't know what to say, quick, quick, get up." I, a powerless scholar, had no room to resist. I was helped by Li Zhi, and my mood gradually calmed down. I whispered: "If you don't meet me at that time, you will be an old hero. Tang Wu will meet again. Feng Hu Yunlong." Looking at Li Zhi, he said calmly: "Your Highness is magnanimous, spare your life, and I can't repay you. Only by doing your best for His Highness, can you make up for the offenses you have done to Your Highness these days." Li Zhi shook his hands and looked at me in shock. He was originally glad that he didn't poison Jiang Zhe, otherwise he would have lost a sage, but from my tone, I actually knew about his poisoning in alcohol. I looked at Li Zhi who looked restless, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, don't worry, if His Highness didn't show mercy, Zhe would not be willing to serve him." Li Zhi looked at Shi Yu, Shi Yu had already dismissed his servants, at this moment his heart trembled when he heard what I said, and he also looked at Li Zhi. I didn't hide anything, and said: "Your Highness, Mr. Shi don't need to worry too much. Zhe used to be ashamed of His Highness's kindness, and His Highness gave him death as a matter of course. Now that things have passed, I won't hold grudges. Please, Your Highness, don't see the arrogance of these days." I say this not to expose my weaknesses. Since I have decided to be loyal to King Yong, I must consider the way the monarch and his subjects get along. King Yong wants to poison me, and I deliberately provoke King Yong. Now that I bring it up this way, King Yong will not feel ashamed of me, nor will he remember my offense to him. In the future, the monarch and his ministers will live in harmony. Don’t say that I have too many thoughts. It’s a sarcasm, but to be clear, one reason is that the king is afraid of the heroes, and the officials are also responsible for transgressing the way of the courtiers, so I want to leave a way out for the future. Sure enough, after Li Zhi's expression changed several times, he finally became cheerful, and said: "It's good that sir, don't blame the king. Zhi would like to appoint him as the Sima of Tian Ce's commander-in-chief, and work together with Ziyou to assist the king." I bowed down again to thank you, Li Zhi smiled wryly and said, "Sir, you don't have to be so formal. I regard you as a teacher and friend, so don't be so distant." I smiled and said: "The etiquette of honor and inferiority should not be dismissed lightly, how can Sui Yun be rude, but if His Highness does not blame Sui Yun for not being polite enough, Sui Yun will not be polite." This is my original intention, since I surrendered to King Yong , I will inevitably see each other every day in the future, if it is always respectful, it will be so painful, anyway, before King Yong ascended the throne, I didn't have to think too much about etiquette. The goal has been achieved, so I said seriously: "Your Highness, Sui Yun also wants to have a deep talk with His Highness, but he can't do it now, please send someone to inform the King of Qi, saying that Sui Yun's old illness suddenly relapsed, so he had to stay and recuperate, King Qi must kiss him." Come to visit, Suiyun dares to ask His Highness to serve the decoction, this is the first, and second, although Suiyun knows a little about Dayong's affairs, but the entanglement of forces in the court is still not clear, please Your Highness, please use what you can now After collecting all the information and sending it to Suiyun, I will discuss it with His Highness in detail tonight. Thirdly, Guan Xiu and the others don’t know what’s going on today, so they may have some suspicions in their hearts. Please let Mr. Ziyou go and tell us. Today's matter is to show His Highness's benevolence and peace of mind as a counselor, these three things are of the utmost importance." After hearing what I said, Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he said: "Suiyun is really thoughtful, I will do it right away, I will accompany my husband back to the guest house immediately, Ziyou, you go and inform the king of Qi first." Shi Yu and I met With a smile, Shi Yu left in a hurry, and I acted to the end, and asked King Yong to help me out of the hall. Xiao Shunzi, who was waiting anxiously outside, saw me coming out, and hurried over, giving Yong a cold look. The king said, "Young master, what happened." Then he succeeded King Yong and took me by the arm.I said lightly: "Xiao Shunzi, you have a way to make me sick temporarily, I want to see King Qi." Li Xian, who was full of joy, arrived at Yongwang's mansion, but a basin of cold water was poured on his head. When Shi Yu told him that Jiang Zhe's old illness had relapsed, Li Xian's first reaction was that Yongwang deliberately forced him to stay, but he thought about it again. The method would not be so clumsy, no matter what, Li Xian still proposed to see Jiang Zhe, leaving Qin Zheng in the car, Li Xian went straight to Qifengxuan, his heart was full of anger, but when he walked into the room, Seeing Jiang Zhe lying pale on the soft couch, while his second elder brother was concentrating on holding a bowl of steaming soup and blowing there, seeing himself coming in, he just smiled slightly and said, "Sixth Brother Last night, Mr. Jiang had a conversation with several staff members in my mansion by candlelight. Today I saw him off. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Mr. Jiang unexpectedly relapsed. I am afraid that he will not be able to go." Li Xian looked at Jiang Zhe's face, and said angrily, "How could it be such a coincidence, your medicine was ready just after he got sick." Li Zhi said lightly: "Mr. Jiang has been taking medicine almost every day since he arrived at the palace. I'm going to be sick for a long time." I opened my eyes with difficulty, and cursed Xiao Shunzi in my heart why he was so serious. The yin and cold energy injected into my body made me feel chilly all over, and it was difficult to move. I said weakly: "Since Suiyun got sick in Sichuan, Attacks happen frequently, regardless of the time, unexpectedly it happened today, I am really ashamed of His Royal Highness." After finishing speaking, I coughed a few times. His Royal Highness King Yong took a sip of the soup and said, "It's done." After finishing speaking, he asked Xiao Shunzi to help me up, and King Yong fed the medicine himself.After I took the medicine, my complexion seemed to be better, and I said: "Your Highness, after Suiyun took the medicine, you have to take a nap, please don't be offended by your Highness." King Yong hurriedly said: "Sir, please have a good rest, I'm leaving now." I nodded slightly, looked at King Yong with "grateful" eyes, and then seemed to slowly fall asleep. King Yong got up and said in a low voice, "Sixth brother, let's not disturb sir, let's talk outside." After leaving Qifengxuan, Li Xian said with a blank expression: "God's will, it seems that you won, second brother." Li Zhi laughed and said, "Sixth brother is overthinking, after Mr. Jiang recovers from his illness, he will naturally go to Prince Qi's residence." Li Xian sneered and said: "He is very ill. The dignified Marshal Tiance, His Royal Highness King Yong personally serves the decoction. I would be surprised if he is not tempted anymore." Li Zhi thought to himself, I have done a lot in the past, but it is a pity that he just refused to submit, but he said: "Sixth brother is overthinking." Li Xian fled with a flick of his sleeves, left the gate of the mansion without getting into the carriage, pulled over a guard's horse, and lashed his whip fiercely to vent his anger. The horse neighed and galloped away. Li Xian ignored the people behind him. Called and left angrily. In the Qifengxuan, I asked Xiao Shunzi to release the restraint on my body, and said with a smile: "I am covered in cold sweat and smell of alcohol, hurry up, I want to take a bath." Xiao Shunzi smiled and said, "It's been prepared a long time ago, don't I know your temper?" I looked at him and said, "Don't ask me why I changed my mind." Xiao Shunzi said indifferently: "With a distance of more than ten feet, I can hear you very clearly. Xiao Shunzi will never doubt the young master's decision. Don't worry, young master, as long as Xiao Shunzi is around, no one can hurt the young master." His tone of voice was so indifferent yet so resolute, my heart warmed, and I said: "Of course, Xiao Shunzi, you have to practice hard. I can protect myself wisely in the officialdom, but there is another world in this world." , if there is a top expert to assassinate me, it will be up to you." A look of passion flashed in Xiao Shunzi's eyes, but he said coldly: "Young master, don't worry, I have mastered all the sword manuals that you gave me back then. Although I can't beat some people, no one can easily beat me." This is off." I nodded, Xiao Shunzi never boasted, but I asked suspiciously: "I remember some sword manuals you said that you need masculine true energy, why can you use it now?" Xiao Shunzi smiled lightly: "Young master is proficient in Yi Li, don't you know the principle of Yin Yin Yang?" I looked at Xiao Shunzi's unconcealable joy. Although I didn't quite understand it, I knew that Xiao Shunzi's martial arts had reached a new level. I thought to myself, I've heard people say that it takes more than twenty years to practice. How can Xiao Shunzi be so powerful only in his early twenties this year? Could it be that he is really a genius in martial arts.But I don’t know that most of my wild thoughts are right. Xiao Shunzi is talented and intelligent, has a persevering personality, and the martial arts he practices are in line with his physical condition. In addition, he has made great achievements in arts and sciences after following me all these years. Today's achievements, although still far behind the three great masters, have far surpassed the top masters in the ordinary sense. Changed into Tsing Yi, I happily followed Shi Yu to the secret study room of Prince Yong's Mansion. This place is located on the right side of the mansion and is heavily guarded. Except for Wang himself and Shi Yu, no one else can enter without permission. Four 18-year-old schoolboys are taking care of the study. After a while, as long as there is an order, I can become King Yong's right-hand man. I secretly praised King Yong for being extraordinary, so I went into the study and started to inquire about the information I needed to know. The information that came told me, but how could it be compared to the comprehensive information collected by King Yong? I'm not used to it, but it doesn't matter, I will work in my own study in the future, and it is enough for me to read the things here once. Li Xin peeked at the handsome young man in his twenties again, full of curiosity.Li Xin's father was the personal guard of King Yong. He died in an assassination, leaving only an orphan. His wit was appreciated by Li Zhi, and he gave him his name and entered the Confidential Study Room. Although his actions were strictly restricted here, he was able to participate in the Confidentiality and benefited a lot from being with His Royal Highness King Yong, and King Yong had long said However, when they become adults, they will be allowed to go out to be officials. Li Xin is very clear that this is a road to success. Of course, the price is that he needs to be loyal forever, and he must not be too cautious, so curiosity is the biggest shortcoming. There was once a book boy who peeked at the documents out of curiosity and broke the rules. After being discovered by King Yong, His Royal Highness, who has always been kind, was furious and ordered to kill him with a stick. Li Xin will always remember the tragic situation at that time, so he never went beyond his own He knew that he should not guess the identity of this young man, but when he found that His Royal Highness King Yong was waiting for this young man in another study, he still couldn't help being curious. In another study room, although Li Zhi was reading the book of war, he was always restless. He looked at Shi Yu and said, "Zi You, you should go and rest. I just wait for him by myself. Don't be too tired." gone." Shi Yu laughed and said, "As soon as Jiang Suiyun surrendered to His Highness today, he acted vigorously, let the king of Qi let go first, and then let the counselors feel at ease. Zi You was very impressed, so I really wanted to know what strategy he would offer His Highness. Not under His Highness." Li Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, I really look forward to his suggestions. You are very clear about the current situation. The king is caught in a net. The more he struggles, the tighter the net is. I really want to know what he has. There are ways to get this king out of the tight encirclement. Thinking about it really scared this king into a cold sweat, if I really kill Jiang Zhe with poison, I'm afraid it will be beyond redemption." Shi Yu said: "Yes, thanks to Your Highness's benevolence, otherwise Jiang Zhe would be convinced. After thinking about it, I am afraid that we are in his control. Today's glass of poisonous wine may be Jiang Zhe's gift to His Highness." test." Li Zhi was puzzled and said: "But if the king hadn't reined in the precipice, would he really have drunk that cup of poisoned wine?" Shi Yu smiled wryly and said, "This subordinate also has no way of knowing his arrangement, but since the matter has not reached that point, His Highness doesn't have to worry about it." Li Zhi also said with a smile: "Yes, what is the king worrying about in the past, Ziyou, I'm afraid he won't come out soon, let's play a game of chess to pass the time." Shi Yu said: "Since Your Highness has such an elegant mood, it is natural for this subordinate to accompany you. Please be merciful, Your Highness." The two looked at each other and smiled, put on the chessboard, and played against each other. After a while, Li Zhong, a book boy, came in and reported: "Your Highness, when my subordinates went down to deliver tea, I saw that Mr. Jiang seemed a little bored, and he even asked where his servants are." Li Zhi was taken aback, looked at Shi Yu, Shi Yu changed his mind, and said, "Your Highness, I see that Jiang Zhe relies heavily on Li Shun beside him, and it seems that he can't leave him for a moment, and that Li Shun is also loyal to Jiang Zhe." No, it's better to let Li Shun go in to serve, anyway, Li Shun will inevitably come into contact with confidential information in the future." Li Zhi thought for a while and said: "That's right, Li Shun is not an ordinary person, there must be a deep friendship between their master and servant, Li Zhong, you send Qi Fengxuan to call Li Shun to serve in the study." After a while, Li Zhong came back and reported: "Your Highness, Mr. Shi, Mr. Jiang is very happy. Li Xin reported that Li Shun was very disciplined, and he just concentrated on serving, never paying attention to the contents of the documents." Only then did Li Zhi feel relieved, and said, "That's all right, Zi You, it's your turn." Shi Yu looked at the chessboard and said with a smile, "Your Highness is not in the right mind, it looks like I'm going to win this game of chess." Li Zhi looked at the trapped Bailong with a wry smile, and said, "Yes, I lost." Shi Yu said: "This is my subordinate's focus. Your Highness don't need to worry about that side. Don't let your subordinate win the next game." While picking the chess pieces, Li Zhi said, "Okay, let me see that you are bleeding like rivers when I kill you." The two gradually got involved. When the third chess game was over, Shi Yu stood up and looked out the window. It was dawn and it was pitch black outside the window. Li Zhi looked at the chessboard and said, "This king has won the half." Shi Yu smiled and said, "Your Highness is very powerful in chess, as long as you put your mind to it, your subordinates will be completely defeated." At this moment, Li Zhong came in and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Shi, Mr. Jiang, please see Your Highness." When Li Zhi heard this, he didn't bother to pick any more chess pieces, he jumped up and asked, "How does he look?" Li Zhongdao: "Although Mr. looks a little tired, but he has a very peaceful demeanor, and he even joked with the villain, asking the villain to drag His Highness out of the bedroom?" Li Zhi's heart that had been hanging all night was finally relieved, he let out a long breath, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Shi Yu looked out of the window and said pleasantly, "Your Highness, look." Li Zhi looked up, and saw outside the window, the dawn sun had passed through the thick clouds, and the eastern sky had turned white.Li Zhi smiled and said: "Good omen, let's go, let's go see Jiang Zhe?" After saying that, he walked out, Shi Yu looked at Li Zhi's heroic posture, couldn't help letting go of a big stone in his heart, and followed him. The end of the first part.
