Taking advantage of the chaotic timing when the army that attacked Chen Cang returned to the camp one after another, after meeting Zhang Han privately, Shangguan Yan returned to the camp shared with Xiong Bao uneasy, although the two were actually hostages now, But Huo Yi didn't treat them badly, let them live together, and he didn't humiliate them in the slightest on weekdays. Unfortunately, he knew very well that with just an order, this young man who seemed to take care of the two of them would execute them without hesitation, so Shangguan Yan never dared to take it lightly. Especially when Zhang Han told him that the current situation had changed and that he and Xiong Bao had to escape immediately, he was even more worried. Although Huo Yi didn't say it clearly, he and Xiong Bao had to have someone by his side to listen to him at all times and couldn't leave his sight. How could they both escape safely? Shangguan Yan thought hard. But no matter what, now he needs to explain the matter to Xiong Bao. Now is the break time before dinner in the army. Xiong Bao should have left Huo Yi and returned to the camp, and he will go to Huo Yi to listen to him after dinner. , Although there is only half an hour, I believe that I can make it clear with Xiong Bao, so that once things change, Xiong Bao will not fall into other people's traps casually.
Walking into the tent, Shangguan Yan only felt a shock in his heart. He saw Huo Yi standing in the tent with his hands behind his back, but he didn't see Xiong Bao. Could it be that the news of the adoption of his father and others had come out, Shangguan Yan thought in his heart, but he couldn't. He didn't step forward and said: "I have seen the son, why did the son come here, is there something important?"
Huo Yi's simple face showed a cold smile, and said: "The leader has an order, and you all need to stay and listen to it tonight. If you violate it, not only will you be punished, but also your family will be implicated." Said After all, the right hand began to play with a jade pendant, and there was a strong threat in his eyes. Shangguan Yan took a closer look and felt a chill in his heart. He recognized that piece of jade pendant, which belonged to Zhang Han who had just broken up with him. This jade pendant was a gift from Zhang Han on his 40th birthday. . Because Zhang Han was very fond of Shangguan Yan on weekdays, Shangguan Yan bought a piece of Han jade, which is said to be able to ward off evil spirits, and presented it to him in order to express his gratitude. Zhang Han felt Shangguan Yan's filial piety. Shangguan Yan also saw the jade hanging from his waist. Now this jade is actually in Huo Yi's hands. Could it be that Zhang Han has already fallen into the tiger's mouth in just a moment, and Xiong Bao has also been detained. He couldn't help but hold down the hilt of the sword at his waist, and a warm blood welled up in his heart.
Huo Yi seemed to be unaware of the change in his heart, and still smiled: "By the way, we have already found my brother. After all, he is young, so he even went to intercept Ming Jian's secret agent and was captured. Fortunately, Ming Jian wanted to get rid of He asked about our secrets, so he didn't kill the younger brother. This time Luo Jianfei led his people to destroy a secret rudder in the Mingjian Division and rescued the younger brother. Although he suffered some grievances, he was in good spirits. Don't worry, it won't take a few days for your family to be reunited."
These words were like pouring a bucket of ice water from the ground, Shangguanyan regained his composure, and there was a burst of sadness in his heart. He never thought that he and the others would not be able to escape the control of the Splendid Alliance after all. : "Young master, please tell me what you want, but it's really chilling for the leader to treat us allies like this."
Huo Yi smiled lightly, his simple face seemed to be a little more cunning, he said to the indignant Shangguan Yan: "Actually, you have been reluctant to obey orders, if there is no hostility in your heart, why should the leader and deputy leader have trouble with you? , Now your adopted father and several people are also under our surveillance, and they can be captured with just an order, yes, they kidnapped the king and the queen mother, even if I linger them, no one will complain for them."
Shangguan Yan said angrily, "If it wasn't for you forcing my foster father to kill the monarch, how could the foster father rescue the king and the empress dowager
Huo Yi chuckled and said, "It turns out that you have seen Zhang Han. It seems that I guessed correctly."
Shangguan Yan was stunned, what's going on, isn't Zhang Ershu already caught by them? Suddenly, he suddenly realized, looked at the jade pendant in Huo Yi's hand, Huo Yi smiled, and threw the jade pendant over. Shangguan Yan took it and took a closer look. It was indeed an imitation jade pendant. The slight difference shows that this is not the real product, and he was just in a hurry for a while, and he didn't see it through. After seeing through the mechanism, Shangguan Yan did not feel much relieved. From this imitation jade pendant, Huo Yi, even Chen Zhen and Huo Jicheng were wary of himself and others. If not, how could this jade pendant be imitated. Now that Huo Yi is an interviewer, he must be well prepared. At this time, Shangguan Yan felt relieved. He knew in his heart that Huo Yi would never waste his scheming on useless people. Since he used means to himself, he still had room to turn around. Shangguan Yan is not the one who refuses to admit defeat, he sighed, he said sullenly: "Regardless of resourcefulness and force, we are all willing to bow down, please Mr. Huo make it clear, in any case, as long as Shangguan Yan can do his best, he will do his best, only hope that the leader Be able to show mercy and let go of my adoptive father and two uncles."
Seeing him like this, Huo Yi smiled slightly. Shangguanyan is really smart, but unfortunately he is not ruthless. This is why he found him. Such people are easier to control. The Gu family must arrange the nails, and Shangguan Yan is the best candidate. He is shrewd enough and knows the current affairs. As long as the life of the Gu family is preserved, he will obey orders. He wants to hide from Gu Ning and others. Only Shangguan Yan has this ability, Xiong is rude, and Gu Ying is full of blood, so they are not good candidates.
Huo Yi took Shangguanyan and let him sit aside, saying: "Actually, the leader of the alliance will not embarrass you and your family. After Chen Cang is over, the Splendid Alliance will also disappear. However, the Gu family has taken away the remnants of the Shu royal family, which is a disaster after all, so the intention of the alliance leader is that you should keep an eye on it. It won't hurt your family."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yan was shocked. Although he had a lot of remarks about Huo Jicheng and others of the Jinxiu Alliance, he never thought that Huo Jicheng and others would have any collusion with Dayong, but after listening to Huo Yi's words, he revealed that The information that made him unbelievable, he looked at Huo Yi in amazement, not knowing what to say.
Huo Yi smiled lightly and said, "You don't need to think too much about these things. If we have the intention to wipe out the remnants of the old Shu, we will not leave Meng Xu alone. As long as you take care of your family and keep yourselves safe from now on, you can keep your peace. How can you contact me in the future? I will tell you in detail, now you go to do a big thing with me first, and when this is completed, you can escape with Xiong Bao. As for Gu Ying, I will tell you where to go to save him. If you don't follow my order, then The whole family will die. If it is my life, the worst case can be a few years later. You can rest assured that I will not let you do some unnecessary things, and I will not use you to lure those people who want to restore the country to join us. There is an order from the Lord, we will not ask about the Jinxiu Alliance in the future, leaving you this clue is just to prepare for one or two. You can ask Gu Ying about the specific situation in the future, but you can't let others know. "
Shangguan Yan was confused. He naturally didn't know the thoughts of Chen Zhen and others. He handed the Splendid Alliance to Xiahou Yuanfeng, and Mingjian Division could take control of all the resistance forces in the old Shu. In order not to make Xiahou Yuanfeng too proud, Chen Zhen Zhen and Dong Que designed Gu Ning to kill Meng Xu. In fact, both of them had already guessed that Gu Ning would be difficult to attack, and saving the mother and son of the King of Shu was the only option. In this way, although Xiahou Yuanfeng achieved the goal of quelling King Qing's rebellion, he allowed the remnants of the King of Shu to escape. Although Xiahou Yuanfeng has mastered the Splendid League, he has also taken on the burden of tracing the remnants of the King of Shu. Chen Zhen and others believe that Gu Ning has his own way to escape Xiahou Yuanfeng's pursuit. After all, Gu Ning has a very high status in the Splendid League. , The popularity is good, and the roots are very deep in the old Shu, coupled with the secret help of Chen Zhen and others, the possibility of Gu Ning getting away with the law is very high. Of course, just in case, they decided to leave a chess piece beside Gu Ning, and Shangguan Yan was the best candidate. Although it is also possible that Shangguanyan will try his best to get out of their control in the future, but this is irrelevant. As time goes by, the importance of Meng Xu will gradually decline, and Shangguanyan and others have no desire to restore the country. Therefore, Chen Zhen and others are not worried that it will be difficult to control the Gu family in the future. As for Gu Ying, it was because he already knew the truth and it was inconvenient to kill him, so he simply included him.
As Huo Yi walked out of the tent, Shangguan Yan was at a loss. He naturally did not know that at this moment, several dozen miles away, Gu Yingzheng was persuaded by Liu Hua earnestly and seductively to become the second pawn to control the Gu family. This is not difficult. Ever since Gu Ying was placed under house arrest by Liu Hua, Liu Hua has used various means to tame this vigorous young man. The threat of death, coupled with the fact that Liu Hua was the leader of the Hidden Group of the Eight Horses, was the most friendly, so he easily made Gu Ying consider him a brother and confidant, and Liu Hua tactfully explained his good intentions to protect the Gu family. Will you be able to get in
King Qing was sitting in the tent, remembering that the attack on Chen Cang was unsuccessful today, and he had no emotions. Although the Splendid Alliance promised to wait for the opportunity to assassinate the defender of Chen Cang, there was no movement for several consecutive days. Instead, it was damaged due to the continuous siege. He has many confidants and soldiers, and he is quite dissatisfied, but it is a pity that Ye Tianxiu was left behind by him to guard at the Sanguan. Otherwise, Li Kang really wanted Ye Tianxiu to come and check in secret, whether the Splendid Alliance intentionally delayed so as to make some excessive demands. But Sanguan had just arrived. Although the lieutenant surrendered, he still had to be careful. If he didn't want to leave the reputation of killing and surrendering, he didn't want to shake the army's heart. For the sake of safety, Li Kang wanted to kill the lieutenant. While Li Kang was thinking about it with worry, someone outside the tent said, "My lord, there is good news from Chen Cang."
When King Qing raised his head, he saw Huo Yi hurried in, only Shangguan Yan followed behind, but he was holding a round green satin package that was still dripping blood. Li Kang was overjoyed, and he almost couldn't believe it: "But the big thing has been accomplished."
Huo Yi stepped forward and bowed down: "My lord, the leader of the alliance took action personally, and has already taken the head of Chen Cang's general Yin Gu. Now the city of Chen Cang is in chaos, please ask the lord to order troops immediately to attack Chen Cang.
Li Kangqiang said with joy in his heart: "Bring the head to me to see, I can recognize the shackles."
Huo Yi walked forward on his knees, holding the head and handing it over, with an excited look on his face. Li Kang thought that he must be excited because he was about to capture Chen Cang. In the covenant with the Splendid League, if the Splendid League assassinated Chen Cang, it would be successful. , then the power that the Splendid Alliance will gain is no small matter, and Huo Yi is one of the most profitable. However, Li Kang still remained calm, and when he got up to take the head, he still maintained a vague vigilance, just as usual. At this moment, one of Li Kang's trusted generals rushed into the tent and said excitedly: "My lord, the lights in Chencang City are bright and chaotic." Li Kang arranged for him to monitor the situation of Chen Cangcheng at any time. Now that he came to report in person, it was confirmed. The Splendid Alliance really succeeded in assassinating Yin Jong.
Only then did Li Kang feel relieved. He took the package with both hands, held it with one hand, and unwrapped it with the other. When he saw the head with the hair tied down, he didn't feel any resentment, but reached out and brushed away the messy hair that covered his face. , that eyes were closed, and the grim face was exactly the shadow in his memory, Li Kang was overjoyed. Just when he was relieved, Huo Yi, who was kneeling on the ground on one knee, swooped on him. Li Kang instinctively hit Huo Yi with the head in his hand, fit him and stepped back, the skin color of his hands suddenly turned golden, and the dagger in Huo Yi's hand was like a rainbow piercing through the moon, twisting the head into pieces, but it was also A line of difference. When Huo Yi stabbed Li Kang's lower abdomen with his dagger, Li Kang's right hand firmly grasped the sharp blade with a sound like iron and gold. Although Li Kang was bare-handed, there was no trace of blood on his hands. Li Kang's eyes were cold. In a flash, he punched out with his left hand, forcing Huo Yi to abandon the dagger and retreat. I saw a projectile shot out of Huo Yi's hand, the projectile made a slight cracking sound, and the tent immediately billowed with green smoke. Li Kang was shocked, fearing that the smoke was poisonous, so he retreated rapidly, and with a backhand stroke with his left hand, his palm was like a knife. He broke a big hole in the tent behind an inch and stepped back. Although his sight was blocked by the blue smoke, he still noticed that Huo Yi was not chasing after him. Instead, there was a muffled groan in his ears. He could hear the voice that his love was about to be killed. Not even a scream was made. Li Kang felt a pain in his heart. He knew a lot about the martial arts of Huo Yi and Shangguan Yan, and knew that it was impossible for the two of them to kill the general with one move, so they must join forces. Although Li Kang did not have much experience in fighting, he immediately thought that if Huo Yi did not pursue him, there must be other soldiers in ambush, otherwise if he called the guards, they would surely die without a place to be buried.
This thought is a long story, but it was just a flash of inspiration. Li Kang was about to move away from his body when a sharp object pierced into the heavy acupoint in his back. Li Kang only felt his infuriated, fell down, Without falling to the ground, one person swept past the ground, caught him, passed through the cracked tent, and sent him back to the tent. Li Kang only felt his body stiff and could no longer move. He couldn't help but let out a sigh and was about to cry out for help. The man who held him had already cut his throat with a palm. Li Kang only felt a sharp pain hit, and he could no longer shout out. At this time, the blue smoke has gradually dissipated. Li Kang watched with his eyes and saw that his confidant general had fallen to the ground, his right hand was still pressed on the hilt of the sword, blood was bleeding from his ribs, and Shangguan Yan was standing at the tent door. The sword in his hand was dripping with blood, and there were obvious finger marks on the general's throat, and someone cut off his throat with the wind of the palm of his hand. At this time, the person behind Li Kang put him on a chair and walked in front of him, that person was Chen Zhen.
Li Kang only felt bitterness in his mouth. Although he knew that it was useless to ask, he still asked reluctantly, "Why?"
This time Chen Zhen didn't stop him from speaking, because he knew that Li Kang would not shout loudly this time, he smiled slightly and said: "Huo Yi, take the prince's arrow and call the generals to the big tent to wait for orders. ."
Huo Yi smiled slightly, went to the desk, picked up a golden arrow, turned around and walked out, Shangguan Yan's eyes flashed an inexplicable look, glanced at Chen Zhen, and calmly put the blood on the sword on the dead general. Wipe off the top of the shirt, followed Huo Yi out.
Chen Zhen dragged a chair and sat opposite Li Kang, took out a jade bottle from his bosom, poured a pill from it and stuffed it into Li Kang's mouth, Li Kang was powerless to resist, as soon as the pill entered his stomach, Li Kang only felt a whole body His infuriating energy was gradually lost as if the spring snow had melted away. He gave up the idea of secretly forcing the hidden weapon on his back, his eyes flashed with pain, and he asked again, "Why?"
Chen Zhen smiled lightly and said, "Why do you need to ask more questions, Your Highness, the monarchs and ministers who want to come to Dayong also want to ask Your Highness why a good prince doesn't do anything, but wants to rebel."
Li Kang didn't seem to hear Chen Zhen's rebuttal, and continued to ask: "I asked myself to do my best to your splendid alliance. If it wasn't like this, how could you let me control me so easily, if I failed, what good would it be for the splendid alliance? Don't you want to return to the country?"
A sneer flashed in Chen Zhen's eyes, and said: "Reviving the country is something you princes and nobles are fond of talking about. Yong Yi dominates the world, and its power is irresistible. If you succeed in rebellion, it will be good for you, and it may be good for the royal family of Shu, but what good is it for us people? For those who are struggling to survive, it is nothing but a mirror."
Li Kang said angrily: "No, you Jinxiu Alliance did this, since it's not for the restoration of the country, it must be colluding with Li Zhi, otherwise why would you do this, just what Li Zhi can give you, this king can also give, why do you have to betray The king."
Chen Zhen listened to the noisy voices that gradually sounded in the camp, and said, "Why do you need to get to the bottom of this, my lord, after today, you and I will never see each other again. Lord, if the prince still saves his life, wouldn't it be troublesome for the villain to talk too much."
Li Kang said sadly: "Why do you have to be so cautious? After all, if you don't want to say it, I will eventually know. Li Zhi will always make me understand, but what do you want to do to this king's subordinates, can you explain it clearly?"
Chen Zhen smiled and said: "I am idle, since the prince wants to know, the villain should talk more. The guards outside the prince's tent are all because I was given a secret medicine while eating, so I sneaked into the tent just now. , it was when their drug attack occurred. If there was no antidote, they would never be able to wake up, so they could not protect the prince. The human head used the technique of disguising, and the real Yin general was naturally still waiting in Chencang. Just now, Huo Yi went to convene the generals in the army, and then Master Xiahou of the Mingjian Division will personally take action and capture all the confidants of the prince. As for the generals and soldiers in the army, they are the children of Dayong, just need to be appeased, they can be allowed to submit. By the way, Mingjian Master Si Liu will act in the Sanguan and cooperate with the deputy general who presented the customs. After the Sanguan is completed, the Mingjian Division will sweep away the rebellion of Dongchuan with a thunderous momentum, and it will only take ten days to pacify Dongchuan."
Li Kang only felt a sharp pain in his heart, his mouth was sweet, and a mouthful of blood was already gushing out, he said fiercely: "You Jinxiu Alliance are actually Li Zhi's lackeys, good, good, I never thought that the Jinxiu Alliance, which was nominally trying to restore the country, turned out to be a big one. Yong's eagle dog, Huo Jicheng must be Li Zhi's henchman. Otherwise, how could the Splendid Alliance be buried? I understand that in the past, Huo Jicheng must have been instructed by Li Zhi, so he deliberately hooked up with Li An and killed the prince's life. Li Zhi was so ruthless. Means, such a ruthless heart, such a good Huo Jicheng, it is a pity that his credit cannot be announced to the world, is Huo Jicheng not afraid of the death of rabbits ."
Chen Zhen's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled: "His Royal Highness has been overly concerned. First, this matter has nothing to do with the emperor. Second, Huo Jicheng is already a dead person, and he no longer needs to cook a rabbit or a dog. As for leaving an ugly name behind him, he is speechless. It was also Huo Jicheng who saw people, what does it have to do with Chen."
Li Kang misunderstood Chen Zhen's meaning, and said sharply: "So you are the one who committed the trouble. Could it be that you killed Huo Jicheng and secretly took refuge with Dayong?"
Chen Zhen was too lazy to talk to him, and said indifferently: "Or so, your Highness should think more about yourself, I don't know how the emperor will deal with your brother who fell into trouble, by the way, there is something that the lord may not know yet, Beihan The military defeat is a rumor, His Royal Highness King Qi encircled the Ji family and wiped out the main force of the Northern Han army, Long Tingfei fell into the water, and now the Northern Han Dynasty is already fading in the west, as long as the emperor himself conquers Jinyang, he can succeed in one battle."
Hearing this, Li Kang only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was so angry that he fainted. He has always been self-sufficient, and only succumbed to Dongchuan because of his father's partiality. If he had the opportunity to become the crown prince, he would definitely be better than Li An. , Li Zhi, unexpectedly being toyed with by these reckless people, he was so irritated that he passed out in a coma.
Chen Zhen smiled coldly. At this moment, someone walked into the tent and said with a smile, "Brother Chen is really powerful. His tongue is like a knife, and his mind is deep. If Brother Chen is interested, there are still vacancies in the Mingjian Division. We will be waiting for you." The person in charge was Xiahou Yuanfeng. He was dressed in a light robe and ribbon, but his plain clothes were stained with a few bright red bloodstains, which gave his handsome face a faint murderous intent. Chen Zhen glanced at him and said, "Master Xiahou must have taken control of the overall situation in the army. If there is nothing else, I will retire."
Xiahou Yuanfeng stepped forward and bowed: "Brother Chen, although the glory and wealth are like floating clouds, but a man can't be powerless for a while, can you really let go of the power of Bainuo, now the Splendid Alliance has become a fleeting phenomenon, Brother Chen From now on, I will be just a servant by the side of Lord Jiang, and I will be cold and neglected, what is the fun, if I serve the royal family and win a wife and son, I will not waste my life."
Chen Zhen's expression was indifferent and silent. Since Jiang Zhe handed over the secret camp to him, he gave the only loyalty to that person. If Yi Tu was prosperous and rich, with that person's prominent status, he could easily give it to himself. A splendid future, but Chen Zhen was tired of the secret espionage career in the past, and under Jiang Zhe, as long as he can complete the tasks given by Jiang Zhe, he can do whatever he wants. Better Lord, so he is not interested in Xiahou Yuanfeng's words at all.
Seeing him like this, Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled helplessly and said, "The next thing will be taken over by the next, Brother Chen can do whatever he wants. If there is anything else to explain, you might as well speak bluntly now."
Chen Zhen glanced at Xiahou Yuanfeng, he knew that this person had a deep heart, and if he showed any concern, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape in the future, so he didn't want to say much, but said indifferently: "Sir, you can do anything, the son of the son will be coming tomorrow morning. Leave Dongchuan." After speaking, he walked out, never looking at Xiahou Yuanfeng again, and he was still brooding about Xiahou Yuanfeng's coercion of Jiang Zhe.
In the early morning of the second day, Chen Zhen, Dong Que, Bai Yi (Huo Yi), and Shan Zi (Huo Shan) rode their horses and stood outside Chencang City, watching Yong Jun clean up the army of King Qing of Dongchuan. Looking a little uneasy, Shanzi smiled and asked: "Bai Yi, what's the matter, are you reluctant to part with the Splendid Alliance?"
Bai Yi said: "Why can't you bear it? It's just that I'm worried about one thing. There is news from Hua Liu that he actually let Ye Tianxiu take Madam Song to escape. After all, this is endless trouble."
Shanzi said: "It's just a weak woman and a swordsman. In the world, is it not the king's land, where can they escape? At most, you can ask Hua Liu to send more people to bring them to justice. It's the Splendid Alliance. Over there, I'm worried that there will be leftovers slipping through the net."
Dong Que said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, with the list and your map of the secret rudder, Xiahou Yuanfeng is enough to wipe out all the important people of the Jinxiu Alliance, even if there are a few lucky people who escaped, can he still find us? Right? By the way, how is Jianfei's business going?"
Chen Zhen said: "Jianfei's affairs are going well. Shangguan Yan and Xiong Bao have rescued Gu Ying. Gu's family has been hidden in the mountains. Jianfei can fully grasp their movements, but when they settle down, Jianfei will leave. After all, Xiahou Yuanfeng is not a vegetarian, if he finds the Gu family through Jianfei, our plan will be in vain."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, all feeling satisfied, and they all rode their horses away. Their direction was Chang'an, where they would wait for Jiang Zhe's arrival.
At the end of April in the first year of Longsheng, under the city of Chencang, King Qing's rebel army suddenly vanished. At this time, King Liqing vowed to restore the kingdom of Shu, but in just ten days, King Qing was tied, and all the rebel generals were captured and killed. All the remaining officials were beheaded, and the blood flowed into rivers. All these great changes made Dayong Mingjian, who presided over his affairs, shock the world, and Xiahou Yuanfeng, who suppressed the rebellion with only one hand, became the target of public criticism. This farce of revival and rebellion ended in such a hurry. However, the people of Shu who had lingering fears were slightly relieved that the new king of Shu, Meng Xu, also disappeared without a trace. In the midst of all this chaos, naturally no one would notice that one of King Qing's concubine, Mrs. Song, had disappeared without a trace, but Ye Tianxiu, the confidant of King Qing who disappeared at the same time as her, was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold.
Naturally, no one would notice that at the same time, the Daylama Palace also underwent a secret purge. Not to mention the trivial matter of the execution of several maids in the palace, that is, Zhaotai Pavilion Huang Chongai was beaten because his father's family was involved in a rebellion. Such a thing as entering the cold palace is nothing more than the wind, and no one cares anymore in the blink of an eye.
