Chapter 49 Chapter 19: The Secret Meeting in the Pavilion

Chapter 19 The Secret Discussion in the Pavilion Li Zhi walked over with a disturbed expression on his face. I know he thought it was harsh to bother me so soon. After all, I am just recovering from a serious injury, so it is not convenient for me to deal with affairs. Being banned by Mr. Sang from receiving guests, His Royal Highness King Yong must have many things to discuss with me.So I stood up with Xiao Shunzi's support, and said loudly: "Your Highness, please come to the pavilion, please forgive Zhe for the inconvenience." Li Zhi quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't come out with the clouds, it's windy outside." After talking a few steps, he walked into the pavilion and said with a smile, "This is a good way. You can enjoy tea and enjoy the flowers without worrying about the cold wind. Sit down."

The action just now made me break out in a cold sweat, and I was not polite, I sat down and said lightly: "Your Highness, please have a cup of tea before we talk." Li Zhi hesitated to speak, took the fragrant tea that Xiao Shunzi handed over, and after drinking it, he said, "Suiyun, although it's hard for you, but what do you think this king should do now?" I smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness has done a good job. I took the opportunity to enrich the guards and gained His Majesty's sympathy. Qin Qing, Xiahou Yuanfeng, and Princess Jingjiang are all suspects. I'm afraid it will be a lot of convenience for Your Highness during this period. I am afraid that General Qin will favor His Highness because of this, after all, Qin Qing is the most suspicious, so what is His Highness not satisfied with?"

Li Zhi said embarrassingly: "This king is also in a hurry, but how should we end it now? Also, I don't know who the assassin is, does Sui Yun have any ideas?" I said lightly: "Although I have seen the person who shot me, but the distance is too far, I don't know his identity, but your highness, no matter who it is, don't mess up your position because of Suiyun, your highness should find a chance to talk to Qin Da. The general is reconciled." Li Zhi frowned and said, "You're right, but if Qin Qing did it, how can I allow him to live in this world? If I don't find out the truth, I will never let it go. Suiyun, you said earlier that there are some arrangements, I don't know now How's it going."

I took a look at Xiao Shunzi. These days when Sang Chen was by my side, Xiao Shunzi went out to meet Chen Zhen once. He had already reported to me yesterday that in less than two months, the crown prince had already met with Chen Zhen. Splendid League made two transactions, and we also made a lot of money. Of course, we did not forget to record how the crown prince was smuggled and which cronies were called. These have already been in my hands yesterday, but I haven’t used this step yet. The meaning of chess is that you don't start until the crown prince is hard to return. After thinking for a while, I calmly said: "These things will hinder the reputation of the prince, Your Highness, it's better to pretend that you don't know."

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Suiyun, it's not that I'm hypocritical, you shouldn't go too far, if it's harmful to the country and the people, I'd rather not have this reserve position." I smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't do those things." There is a sentence I didn't say, if the crown prince wants to do it, what does it matter to me?But no one would ask me to bear his crimes for the prince, right? I was at most instigating, but the heinous crime was committed by the prince himself. Li Zhi said in relief, "That's good, Sui Yun, this is the information from these days, take your time to read it."

I picked up the abridged information that King Yong handed over and studied it carefully. These days, the crown prince is quiet. After all, he is the mortal enemy of King Yong. At this time, he should not be too blatant even if he falls into trouble. After all, there is still the emperor. This time, the emperor is also very suspicious of the prince, so he can’t help but warn him. The prince therefore forbears and hides all day It's a real pleasure to be sensual in the mansion, and the one who takes care of these for the prince is Xia Jinyi, the prince's new favorite bodyguard. Although Xia Jinyi is dissolute, he is really a genius in these aspects. It must be an ecstasy song, and the dancer is the demon dance, which fascinates the prince so much that he is intoxicated in the powder trap every day. If it weren't for the side concubine Xiao Lan inside and the young Fu Lu Jingzhong outside, the prince's mansion would have been completely destroyed. It's chaotic.Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile a little, seeing that the crown prince started enjoying himself before he ascended the throne. It seems that my goal has been achieved, but the prince's appearance is also a kind of confusion. The information sent by Chen Zhen has already said These days the crown prince is busy smuggling arms, two batches of arms let the prince know the taste, and he is busy smuggling the third batch, Fairview Alliance is also very satisfied, but the good things don't last long, although the benefits are touching, as long as we move Hands and feet can make them fight among themselves.The crown prince must have left all the smuggling matters to Lu Jingzhong and the others. Thinking about it this way, the prince's scheming is unusual. You can plead guilty on the table, saying that you are obsessed with women and deceived by your subordinates, but no matter how scheming you are, you are nothing more than a hero. If you want to be the monarch of the people, how can you shirk the blame.

The people suspected of assassinating me also have relevant information. Qin Qing was locked up in the mansion by General Qin and was not allowed to go out. It is said that General Qin moved the family law. Qin Qing was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed. , This is a bit abnormal, his residence is very tight, and it is inconvenient for King Yong to alert the emperor's favorite guard without evidence, so I don't know what he is doing in secret. Li Hanyou, the princess of King Jingjiang, came to Beijing to meet the emperor at the order of his father. King Jingjiang has no heirs, so it is permissible to send his daughter to Beijing to congratulate him, but Li Hanyou's status as a disciple of the Fengyi Sect is a bit of an eyesore, and the princess of Jingjiang is always by the queen's side these days. It is said that King Jingjiang intends to choose a good son-in-law for his daughter, so Entrust the queen to be the master.It is said that the queen intends to betroth Li Hanyou to Qin Qing.Seeing this, I felt a chill in my heart. If Fengyimen hooked up with Qin Yi, it would be too terrible. It seems that no matter whether Qin Qing assassinated me this time, I can't deal with him.Carefully recalling the assassin that day, recalling all his deeds, I suddenly realized that no matter who this person is, this person is definitely not Qin Qing. Thinking of the situation that day, I finally understood that someone provoked dissension, and then assassinated me. Misfortune Qin Qing, happened to be preempted by the poisonous hand and evil heart, the person who instigates dissension knows who it is without thinking, and finally locked the opponent, I looked at Lu Jingzhong's name, this person is really scary, I'm afraid their purpose this time is just Let King Yong and Qin Yi become enemies, and I was probably chosen because I am a new confidant of King Yong. Is it true that I suffered innocently this time? Human scheming is really powerful, but this person's shortcomings are also obvious. If I use tricks, I will never provoke so nakedly, and let the opponent automatically jump into the trap.Now Qin Yi and Qin Qing are afraid that they hate the person who provoked dissension even more, but it is strange to say that even though it is to provoke Qin Qing, the rumor that I have an affair with the princess is too false.

The information is not particularly detailed, presumably the original information is in King Yong's study, after all, King Yong doesn't want me to waste my brains, most of them are only a few lines, I don't think too much, those information are about I'm not in a hurry to know about the investigation of my assassination and what has happened. For now, I just need to know the current situation. Putting down the information, I said calmly: "Your Highness, I have already figured out this matter, please don't worry about it, Your Highness might as well walk around the palace more these few days, Your Highness can relax a bit, so that I can take advantage of this opportunity to assassinate you." People don't seek personal revenge, so I will not take revenge, as long as His Highness wins, I will naturally avenge myself."

Li Zhi said joyfully, "Have Sui Yun understood, then whoever assassinated you, I will never forgive you lightly." I smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness, I have no evidence, and it's hard to say who it is now, but I will never let them go. Your Highness, please don't let go and delay the general for a while. If it is resolved at this time, I am afraid the general will not be able to stop it." If Qin Qing is suspected of the marriage between Princess Jingjiang and General Qin Qing, then the General can politely decline." Li Zhi let go of the big stone in his heart, and said happily, "It's not Qin Qing."

I hurriedly said: "Your Highness, keep quiet, and you can even temporarily express your hostility towards the General, so that the enemy will not be on guard, and the General will not blame Your Highness for this." Li Zhi nodded and said: "The business is over, there are still two things that I have to tell you. One is that the emperor allowed me to fill up the guards this time. I have already asked Sima Xiong to go to the army to select carefully. In the past, I always thought that warriors should show their strength on the battlefield, so the guards in the palace were not specially selected, so that you were seriously injured this time, Suiyun. This time, this king ordered a grand competition in the army to select a thousand people as the guards of the palace. This king has divided 800 of the 1,000 guards into the eight guards of Qiankun Kanli Zhengen Xundui, who are responsible for the defense of the palace. From now on, the Yongwang Palace will be ruled by military law. One hundred people are the best among them. I have already arranged fifty people to be your personal guards, Suiyun. Many of them are martial arts students with good internal skills, and they can definitely block the assassination of first-class masters. Ask the king for instructions."

My heart warmed up. The grand competition in the Yong army is very grand. It is divided into three competitions, riding and archery, riding and fighting, and infantry. You must win all three games to become the winner. This kind of competition, if you want to win the army The title of the number one warrior in the game requires countless bloody battles to succeed. King Yong used a big competition to select guards, which means that the chosen ones are all warriors selected from thousands of miles, and most of the guards assigned to me are from the Jianghu. It seems that King Yong has spent a lot of money this time. I hurriedly thanked King Yong. It was because Xiao Shunzi's complexion changed again and again, and finally he couldn't help but bowed down and said: "The slave just said something rude and offended His Highness, please forgive him." I was startled, although I had seen something wrong with him for a long time, unexpectedly he offended His Highness, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Shunzi, what's going on, how did you offend His Highness." Xiao Shunzi said bluntly: "Your Highness just got the reward, saying that the poisonous hand and evil heart that assassinated the young master finally showed his traces, and he has already escaped from the siege several times. I really want to kill that person to avenge the young master, but I am worried about the young master's safety. I couldn't help but sneered at His Highness and said, "If General Pei hadn't happened to be a guest in Hanyuan, I'm afraid your son's life would have been lost. A little assassin with a vicious hand and evil heart can come and go freely in Yongwang's mansion, and now he is arrogant outside. It's really embarrassing." Yong warriors are disgraced.'" I could hear my body covered in cold sweat, and I quickly got up and said, "Xiao Shunzi is ignorant and offended His Highness, please forgive me." Li Zhi waved me to sit down, and said with a wry smile: "I am sorry for your master and servant. This time, the guards selected by the king can definitely guarantee Suiyun's safety. Moreover, the king has issued an order. From now on, every three There will be a big competition every month. The bottom ten players will compete with the newly selected bodyguards. If they can’t win completely, they will have to be repelled. Although the rewards and punishments of your personal bodyguards are up to you, but the replacement of candidates cannot be decided by you. , Xiao Shunzi, your martial arts are so strong, far beyond this king's estimation, in the future, if you think anyone in Suiyun's personal guard is not competent, you can repel him, don't follow Suiyun's temper, he Sometimes I am soft-hearted, even if I feel incompetent, I don’t want to speak out.” Xiao Shunzi nodded repeatedly. A few days ago, he suggested that I recruit some people from the secret camp, but the advantage of the secret camp lies in its secrecy. It's not suitable for exposure, so I didn't agree. Seeing that my safety is guaranteed now, Xiao Shunzi smiled and said: "This servant is bold, please let this servant personally select the son's personal guard." Li Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, most of these people will be transferred by you in the future, you can select them, Sima Xiong is assigning them these few days, you might as well go and have a look." Xiao Shunzi nodded quickly, and he raised his eyes to ask me for instructions. I knew he was busy ensuring my safety and was going to hunt down the poisonous hand Xiexin, so I didn't stop him, but said, "Hurry up and do this. For such a long time, there has been no trace of the poisonous hands and evil hearts, but now that my life is saved, he has appeared, and I also want you to ask him carefully." Xiao Shunzi hurriedly nodded in agreement, and hurried down, it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer. Looking at Xiao Shunzi's back, Li Zhi sighed, "What a loyal servant, Suiyun, you are really lucky." I smiled and said, "This is in front of His Highness, he is so obedient to His Highness, is there usually a lot when he is not old or young?" After Xiao Shunzi's figure disappeared, Li Zhi said calmly, "Suiyun, I know you're hiding some things from me. I don't want to investigate. I believe you won't harm me. But if I don't ask, I can't talk to you." Confidentially." Although I knew that King Yong would not be ignorant of my affairs, but when things came to an end, I was still a little uneasy. I thought to myself, he probably wants to settle accounts with me.Peeking anxiously in his heart, Li Zhi has already continued: "This time, the king said that this matter is not for other reasons. If you have trusted confidants, you might as well let them follow you. If it happens again like this I'm afraid that Suiyun won't have such good luck. I know that you used to have a few attendants with good martial arts, but I haven't seen them around you. I don't blame you for hiding it from me. If you didn't Be careful, how can you protect yourself in troubled times, but your safety is the most important thing, don't let them not protect you by your side just to hide from me." I lowered my head with some shame, if King Yong didn't say anything about it, we would naturally live in peace with each other, but I didn't expect that King Yong would try his best to make me feel alienated, and asked me to protect myself better. The gratitude in my heart almost brought tears to my eyes, thinking that Prince De never forgot his suspicion of me until his death. Although he still admired his loyalty, he couldn’t help feeling chills. If King Yong treated me like this, if I couldn’t let him ascend the The Ninth Five-Year position, how can I feel at ease, at most I will put in more effort, and don't be afraid of the master of high achievements. But even though it was tacit understanding, I didn't say much, I just said: "Your Highness instructed, I respect it." Seeing that I understood what he meant, Li Zhi happily said: "You were seriously injured this time, Princess Changle and King Qi both cared for you very much. King Qi also gave you bear bile. Without these medicines, I am afraid that this king would not be able to save your life. By the way, Roulan came back from the palace two days ago. Changle likes her very much, why do you want her to be your constant companion? " I looked a little confused, and asked: "I know a thing or two about King Qi's thoughts, why Princess Changle loves me so much, and why Roulan went to the palace again." Li Zhi glanced at me, and said: "The imperial sister likes your poems, Rou Lan, the princess brought her into the palace, you were injured this time, and the imperial sister gave you medicine, since you saved your life It's time to thank you, Wangfei saw that you were seriously injured, so she simply took Roulan to thank you, Roulan is your adopted daughter, and it is in accordance with the etiquette to thank you for you." I nodded in confusion, why did the princess treat me so favorably, are my poems really that good? Li Zhi glanced at me, smiled, and said, "By the way, Changle has something to bring you. It said 'thank you', but I don't know what it means." My heart trembled, thank me, could it be that she knew about the fact that I let her go that day, it was impossible, if that was the case, wouldn't everyone know about Liang Wan.After comforting myself, I said, "I don't quite understand what Her Highness the Princess means." Seeing that I looked a little tired, Li Zhi said: "Okay, I won't delay your rest, don't be tired." I was really tired, so I watched Li Zhi leave, two maids came to help, they all It's the one who serves me these days, so although I don't like serving maids, I didn't drive them away.Lying on the bed, I gradually fell asleep, but I didn't sleep well. The arrow from the assassin streamer movie made me uneasy, and I couldn't sleep peacefully. I had a dream. Come to me, let me kill with my own hands, and then the assassin suddenly appeared that day, with the same pair of clear eyes, and the same pair of white hands, with the bow and arrow, and then I woke up, in the dark, I faintly Said: "I know who you are, there is no possibility that it is someone else, Li Hanyou, hum."
