Chapter 214: Assassin's Row In the distance, two people stood in the grass and watched the Qingji camp from afar.
Zhuan Yi said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered us to look for the king, before we arrived, the king was dead, and now Qingji waved his army to besiege the city, and the Yue people raised the banner to say what to do with the king's last order to kill Qingji, but the army is hiding its head and tail, and now I don't know where to go."
And General Fu Fu is stationed in the dry tunnel, neither advancing nor retreating, I don't know what to do, now we go back to the city to see the prince, how to explain" Li Han's face was extremely ugly, and he stood aside and was silent.
He regrets it very much now, regretting that he shouldn't have left the country of Lu and went to the country of Wu to take refuge in something.
I thought that if I grasped the news that Qingji was secretly ambushing soldiers in Lu State, it would be a miracle that the Wu people could ambush them accordingly, and destroy Qingji's ambush soldiers in a battle, destroying his hope, and finally driving him to a corner, only to die, and he could also enjoy glory and wealth in Wu State.
Who knows, Sun Wu actually played a trick that other countries had never had, and transported nearly 10,000 troops from the sea to the back of the Wu people, so that the situation has evolved to this day.
At the beginning, if you stayed in the Lu country, although there was no beauty to favor, although there was no lord to enjoy, at least you could become one of the top retainers of the Shusun family, as long as you waited for the opportunity, you could not soar, what should I do now Li Han's hand involuntarily moved to the hilt of the sword: "I didn't say goodbye in Lu Country, and the uncle and grandson didn't know the reason for my departure."
If I kill Zhuan Yi, there are still many people in Gusu City who know my identity and origin, and it is difficult to guarantee that my identity will not be revealed in the future, alas" After Zhuan Yi finished speaking, seeing that Li Han did not reply, he turned his head to look, and saw that he pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and his eyes shot a fierce light.
As soon as he turned around, Li Han hurriedly looked away and restrained his murderous intentions, but Zhu Yi had already seen it in his eyes, he took a step forward, patted Li Han on the shoulder, and praised: "I knew that you would agree with a certain idea." ” "Ah" He just took a step forward, Li Han was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't judge whether Zhuan Yi saw his despicable intentions, and he hesitated slightly.
At the same time, Zhuan Yi's swordsmanship skills are much better than him, and the two of them are together, and he didn't avoid Zhuan Yi's casual pat, and when he heard Zhuan Yi's words, Li Han knew that he didn't see his true heart, but he didn't know what he thought, and he couldn't help but be stunned there.
Zhuan Yi said excitedly: "Fang Cai, I think so too.
The two of us went back to the city, but the addition of the two of us will not help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince much.
Just now we saw that the envoys from all over the country were coming and going, so even the Dongyi savages came to congratulate them, and they were welcomed into the camp by the Qingji people.
That's how I came up with it."
He turned around, pointed to the Qingji camp, and said: "You see, this continuous camp tent, tens of thousands of brave soldiers, all gathered because of Qingji alone.
As long as Qingji is dead, with the prestige of the two of them, they must not let this army serve them properly.
The Qingji army was divided, and the crisis of Wu was solved.
As long as we can kill Qingji, it is better than borrowing 100,000 male soldiers."
"You're going to assassinate Qingji by posing as an envoy" "Why do you want to forcibly attack the camp" Zhuan Yi consciously thought of a clever plan, and became excited for a while.
He looked back and smiled: "That's not going to work, we haven't seen Qingji yet, and we'll be chopped into meat sauce."
Only by taking the position of an envoy of another country can he approach him with a sword. ” Li Han's face twisted for a while, he knew that Zhuan Yi's plan was the only way to work, and it was very likely to become a fact.
But whether he broke into the camp or pretended to be an envoy, the assassin ended up being beheaded, and he didn't want to die for anyone, even if that person was a prince.
"I cough, I know, the reason why I only think of the way to break into the camp is because Qingji knows me, if I pretend to be an envoy and just look at my face, we will die under his shouts and under the blade of his guards."
Zhuan Yi was stunned: "Yes, I forgot about it."
He thought for a moment and said, "Alas, I wanted to have your help and block the guards for me, so that I could let go of the assassination of Qingji."
So it seems that I am the only one who has gone to see him. ” He patted Li Han on the shoulder and said emotionally: "You can find a way to sneak back to the city, no matter whether it is success or failure, I did my best, tell the prince for me, just say that King Wu and his son treat each other as national soldiers, and the father and son will repay each other with their lives, and live up to King Wu and His Royal Highness."
Li Han couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, the two walked all the way, he had always looked down on this young man whose surname was Lu Du, and who relied on his father's surname to exchange for the position of Shangqing, but at this moment, even a selfish and selfish person like him couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
He blurted out: "Lord Sima, Qingji was assassinated and almost died, how can you not take precautions to assassinate after that, it may not work, why should your lord make a senseless sacrifice, or return to Gusu City with me." ” Zhuan Yi said with a twinkle in his eyes: "No, this is an opportunity to turn the situation around, since I have the opportunity, I have to be a gentleman, do something and don't do something."
Since it has been decided, although there are thousands of horses and thousands of troops ahead, Zhuan Yi will not frown.
Wu Wangyi and Shizi Qingji were both stabbed by the assassins Zhuan Zhu and Zi Zhuanyi, haha, even if they fail, such a feat is immortal for eternity" Li Han was silent: "If people want to die, if they don't die, they will die, how can they be persuaded?"
In the handsome tent, Jing Lin brought people to bring a lot of things, including the process drawn up by the Ming Dynasty, the country name, the year name, the king flag, the sacrifice to the heaven and earth, the sacrifice to the gods and dragons, the ancestors of the sacrifices, the robes, the crowns and so on.
Qingji examined them one by one and was familiar with these things.
Suddenly, he saw the royal flag, the green flag, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, Qing Ji grabbed the king flag in his hand and examined it carefully, suddenly raised his head and asked: "If you add something embroidered on this flag overnight, can it be completed?"
Jing Lin was stunned and said: "Your Highness, aren't these things agreed on a long time ago, Your Highness has to add something?"
Qingji spread the Wang Qi on the case and pointed: "You see, this light green, dark green Wang Qi, in the middle is a golden five-clawed dragon, the edge of the Wang Qi, embroidered is an ordinary ornament, I want to remove this ornament, in the four corners of the embroidery of a phoenix, the phoenix head in the upper left corner, the phoenix body around the edge of the flag down, to the opposite corner and then upward, so that the phoenix tail in the upper right corner, the upper edge of the Wang Flag is decorated with cloud patterns, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, you see how" Jing Lin was stunned: "Your Highness, the phoenix is a divine beast worshiped by the Chu people, and our Wu people worship the divine dragon." ” Qingji smiled slightly: "Not only the Chu people, from the west along the Yangtze River to the sea, but also the Qin people, Yihu, Huaiyi, they all take the phoenix as a totem" Jing Lin obviously understood something, and suddenly held his breath.
Qingji smiled and said deeply: "The northerners worship the dragon, and the southerners worship the phoenix."
My Wu Guo was originally a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty, so he also took the dragon as a totem.
However, Wu Guoguo has been separated from the Central Plains for a long time, and has long been regarded as a Southern Barbarian outlier by the Central Plains countries.
Sixty years ago, my great-grandfather went to the public to claim the title of king, and he was already openly fighting against Zhou Tianzi.
Oh, if that being the case, why should we be regarded as alien by the northerners, and equally alien by the southerners" His eyes flashed and he said slowly: "Qin, Chu, Wu, Yi, if you tie it with a river" Jing Lin suddenly realized: "My lord, this is to join the southern camp, fight against the north, and gradually play a major role in the southerner camp."
The Qin people and the Chu people are all descendants of Dongyi, so that the Wu people and Dongyi are integrated, and the pressure on their abdomen and back will be minimized, and they will receive a certain degree of support from them when facing the pressure of strong Qi.
Integrate Qin, Chu, Wu, Yue, Huaiyi and one, occupy the Yangtze River Basin, invade the Yellow River Basin, and surround the Central Plains Zhuhou" The grand blueprint gradually unfolded in his mind, Jing Lin's excited blood boiled, such a big thing is by no means a one-time effort, it may take several generations of efforts, but his own lord has this ambition, as his subordinate, there is a lot to do.
Jing Lin rubbed his hands and was about to ask for details, when a soldier suddenly rushed into the tent and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, the envoy of the Xu State asks to see you." ” Qingji frowned slightly: "What are you panicking about?"
Nearby small countries such as Xu and Chen have been silent about the accession of Fucha and Qingji to the throne successively, after all, their country is too small, and they dare not arbitrarily express their support for which side until the situation is clear, and Qingji knows and understands this.
Now that Xu Guo actually sent a messenger to congratulate him, Qingji couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The soldier gasped and said: "The envoy of Xu State was intercepted by General Fu Xuan's men and horses in the dry tunnel, and the envoy's guard of honor was killed and dispersed, and now only the envoy has arrived at the barracks, covered in blood and dying."
"What" Qingji was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Take me to see it." ” Although Qingji has not yet controlled the entire Wu State, there are many hostile forces, and all countries know this matter in their hearts, but the killing of the envoy shows that his control is really limited, which is a very humiliating thing.
Qingji hurriedly went out of the account and instructed Jing Lin: "Go and find a healer, be sure to save his surname." ” Jing Lin answered, hurriedly went out of the tent, Qingji followed the soldier out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and went straight to the gate.
The soldier said: "The envoy of Xu State is covered in blood, and he doesn't know how serious his injuries are, so the villains don't dare to move at will, so let him rest under the gate."
The two hurried to the gate of the Yuan, only to see a person lying under the gate, surrounded by several soldiers, who were bandaging his wounds, and when they saw Qingji arrive, one of them shouted: "Your Highness." ” Qingji waved his hand to stop it, and took two steps forward to take a look, only to see that this person was only in his twenties, with an eagle nose and a thin face, a pale face, and blood stains on his body, his right hand hanging on the ground, his little finger was cut off, and his flesh and blood were blurred.
"The envoy of the Xu State is at his feet" The man looked at him and asked, "Are you?"
Qingji said: "Wu Guoqingji." ” The man screamed softly, struggling to get up: "It turned out that Gongzi Qingji was in person, Sima Yi was fortunate not to disgrace his life, and finally met Gongzi." ” Qingji hurriedly said: "Your envoy doesn't have to get up, the doctor will be there soon." ” That Sima Yi said stubbornly: "Sima Yi is here, on behalf of the monarch of my Xu Kingdom, and he is the future lord of Wu State, the etiquette of the country, how can it be wasted, wait for Sima Yi to pay the courtesy of the country, see the monarch of the country, and then bandage the wound."
Sima Yi said, pushed away the soldiers around him, got up and stepped forward to salute, and saw that he looked shaky, and he had lost some strength.
Qingji listened, his face was respectful, that Sima Yi shook forward, walked three steps in front of him, held his sword and dressed himself, and then gave a deep salute: "Sima Yi, the envoy of Xu State, has seen Gongzi Qingji" Qingji hurriedly leaned forward to help: "Your envoy is exempt, please get up quickly." ” His hands touched Sima Yi's clothes, Sima Yi suddenly raised his head, his face was full of murderous aura, there was a soft "click", the sword under his ribs was already out of the sheath, and the soldiers were shocked that it was not good, but the rescue was too late, so they could only exclaim in unison: "Your Highness be careful." ” Qingji stepped forward to support him, Sima Yi rushed into his arms, the two stood face to face, the tip of their noses almost touched the tip of their noses, the two breathed each other, and a pair of eyes stared at each other fiercely.
The soldiers around them looked at them in horror, and their palms were drenched in sweat for a moment.
Jing Lin rushed with a doctor, and happened to see this scene, his hands and feet were cold for a while, and his eyes were black: "It's over, if His Highness is assassinated, everything will be over" Jing Lin's heart was about to jump out of his cavity, he had never been afraid on the battlefield, and he was so shocked that he didn't even have the courage to take a step forward at this moment.
Qingji and Sima Yi looked at each other for a long time, motionless, as if the plague was spreading, even the soldiers who didn't know why in the distance were quickly infected with this strange atmosphere, and everyone stopped moving, sounding, only the sound of the wind slightly fluttering the flag.
Qingji's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile gradually appeared in the coldness, his hand pushed forward fiercely, Sima Yi staggered away, his hand pressed on his abdomen, and the sword more than a foot long had completely pierced into his abdomen.
"How did you find out, I'm an Assassin" "Who Sent You?"
"No one sent me" Zhuan Yi straightened his waist slightly, but there was a sword in his abdomen, no matter how he wanted to stand straighter, his waist was a little rickety: "I am Zhuan Yi, the son of Zhuan Zhu, and I am determined to come and kill you" "Son of Zhuzhu" Qingji was silent for a moment, and the soldiers around him felt that the spring breeze seemed to suddenly increase a little chill.
But to their surprise, Qingji behaved very calmly, and did not frantically pounce on him and cut him into the mud because he heard that this man was the son of his father's killer.
Zhuan Yi couldn't stand still, he shook a little, knelt on one knee, and still asked unwillingly: "How did you find out, I am an assassin?"
Qingji said coldly: "Because, even if you are in the position of the top secretary and become the great Sima, you are still just an assassin."
You are only worthy of being an assassin, and you are an incompetent assassin who has never seen the world, and the only thing you can rely on is probably only one swordsmanship.
But once I see through it, you won't even have a chance to use your sword."
Zhuan Yi's eyes widened and he looked at him in confusion.
"Your clothes and boots are in the style of the Wu people, which can be explained by changing into Wu clothes to hide your whereabouts, and your hair is an authentic Wu people vertebrae, which is also barely said to be in the past.
But you shouldn't have scratched your clothes too badly, exposing your chest, your chest is tattooed with dragons, snakes and algae, I have never heard that the Xu nobles also like the common people of Wu Yue like tattoos.
Also, your sword, the envoy on a foreign visit, wears a three-foot-long decorated sword surnamed Changsui, not a one-foot-long murderous weapon like you, you don't understand this at all."
Zhuan Yi's face was distorted, but he didn't speak.
Qingji said again: "Your father, in order to plan for the assassination for half a year, it took three months to go to Taihu Lake to learn how to burn fish, so that he was able to get close to my father, no matter how scheming or knowledge, you are not as good as him." ” Zhuan Yi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly pulled out the sword in his abdomen, and suddenly blood gushed like a spring.
The four corporals immediately nervously raised their weapons and approached him to prevent him from injuring people.
Zhuan Yi let out a long breath and muttered, "It turns out that being an assassin is not so simple" Qingji smiled faintly: "Ming, it is my accession to the throne, thank you for sending this generous gift" He turned around and walked away, leaving only one command: "Bow his head, pay tribute to the first king" To be continued:
