The Grandmaster Strategist

Chapter 91: King Qi's method

Views:

A soft sedan chair carried King Qi to the Yulin Hall where the prince lived. Li Xian was now trapped by drugs. Although he could barely move, he couldn't walk so far. Yulin Hall was on the east side of the Hunting Palace, where King Qi lived. The Xuanhua Garden is on the west side, and there are several miles between the two. Naturally, the only way to go is to take the sedan chair. The four warriors who carry the sedan chair are the guards of King Qi's trusted guards. Even Princess Qi can't call them casually. Qin Zheng Lead the way with two maids.

When the group arrived at Yulin Hall, the defense was very tight. Xiao Lan heard that King Qi had arrived and came out to greet him in person. She was also dressed in strong clothes. When she saw Li Xian who was helped by Qin Zheng, she stepped forward and saluted: " Your Highness must be very happy that Sixth Uncle is here."

Li Xian said indifferently: "Li Xian is just a prisoner under your doorstep now, how dare he be your great gift."

There was a hint of embarrassment on Xiao Lan's face, but she immediately smiled: "Uncle Six, we are wrong about this, please forgive me, Uncle Six, His Highness is waiting inside."

Li Xian walked into the hall, only to see Li An standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, and the prince's young master, Lu Jingzhong, standing beside him. Although Lu Jingzhong has been placed under house arrest by Fengyimen, the situation is urgent. At the request of the prince, Fengyimen will not be allowed to No, he was released again, but he was not allowed to leave the Jade Palace. Or because of this, and the fact that the prince didn't protect him with all his heart, his expression was a little cold and haggard.

As soon as he saw Li Xian, Li An kindly stepped forward and held Li Xian's hand: "Sixth brother, you can come, this time you must help as a brother, you know, now the brother has been It’s the boat to Jiangxin, and there’s no turning back. It’s not to become emperor, or to be banned from death. Brothers and sisters are also rebellious. If you are unwilling to do your best, then if you fail misfortune for your brother, you can’t get rid of it.”

Li Xian said calmly: "Little brother knows the current situation, but hasn't the prince already ordered the Qin family to recruit troops?"

Li An was stunned for a moment, then said sternly: "After all, the Qin family army is not my direct line. If something happened, it would be really hard to control. If the sixth brother of your army comes, your brother's throne will be as stable as Mount Tai."

Li Xian said with a smile but not a smile: "If that's the case, please ask the prince to detoxify me and let me sit in the army."

As soon as these words came out, Li An was at a loss for words. He looked at Xiao Lan and looked a little embarrassed. At this time, Lu Jingzhong said, "His Royal Highness King Qi is a thousand pieces of gold, and now King Yong is still at large, if His Highness is lightly involved. Dangerous, if there are three longs and two shorts, wouldn’t the Prince worry, it’s better to stay here, as long as His Highness writes a letter and asks His Highness’s army to rush to the palace, I don’t know if His Highness is willing to serve the Prince.”

Li Xian said coldly: "Who doesn't know that King Yong's army is covetous, if my army is mobilized, I'm afraid it will disturb them. Isn't the young master worried about self-defeating?"

Lu Jingzhong said with a smile: "King Yong's guards are stubborn, although the prince has already sent people to hunt down King Yong, the Qin family's army will soon go to encircle and suppress them, but if it is unfortunate that King Yong joins his own army, it will inevitably make the battle even worse. It's complicated, that's why the Crown Prince hopes that His Highness will send an army to annihilate King Yong's troops. His Royal Highness's troops are similar in strength to King Yong's army, and their elites are comparable. After the army captured and killed King Yong, he took the head of King Yong to help His Highness to suppress the rebellion. At that time, His Highness will be King Qin's greatest hero, and the Crown Prince will surely reward him heavily."

Li Xian took a deep look at Lu Jingzhong and thought that this man was really vicious. He actually asked himself to annihilate King Yong's guards. At that time, he was lucky and suffered heavy casualties, while King Yong and most of his army were killed. At the border gates, the Qin army guarding Gyeonggi was only loyal to the royal family. As long as they mastered the father and the emperor, they could guarantee Li Andeng the throne. But Li Xian didn't reveal the man's viciousness and scheming, he just said coldly: "Okay, this king wants to write a book to mobilize the army, but His Royal Highness has to promise a few conditions to the minister and brother."

Li An was overjoyed and said, "Sixth brother, feel free to tell me."

Li Xian said coldly: "First, no matter how we fight for the throne, it's not as bad as our wife and children. I don't care about the life and death of the second brother, but the second sister-in-law and nephew will not allow you to kill."

Li An frowned slightly and said, "The sixth brother is too soft-hearted if we don't get rid of the roots. If the second child wins, our wife and children will only have to die."

Li Xian was silent, Lu Jingzhong winked, and Li An had to forcefully say, "It's up to you."

Li Xian smiled slightly and said, "The second condition, if you succeed the emperor, you cannot depose the imperial sister-in-law and the prince because of the merits of Fengyi Sect."

Li An said straightforwardly: "There is no problem with this, Gu also thinks the same way."

Li Xian said lightly: "The third condition, I know that His Royal Highness was quite dissatisfied with his younger brother in the past, and I also ask His Highness not to settle accounts in the autumn."

Li An embarrassedly said: "How can it be, sixth brother, you help Gu to obtain the throne, Gu will certainly not retaliate."

Li Xian nodded and said, "There is another small condition. Now I am trapped by drugs, and it is difficult to even get out of bed. Let's get rid of my poison first."

Li An glanced at Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment and said: "The only antidote that can temporarily allow the prince to move freely, if you want to restore martial arts, I am afraid that you have to wait until the master arrives."

Li An looked at King Qi, worried that he would turn his back on him, but Li Xian just said lightly: "This king is just lying on the bed and bored, and he is not in a hurry to resume his martial arts."

Xiao Lan looked relieved, took out a pill and handed it to Li Xian. Li Xian took the pill and took it. After a while, he felt that his physical strength was gradually recovering, so he walked to the desk, swiped it, and wrote a letter, He turned and left.

Walking on the imperial road, Li Xian looked relaxed and at ease, as if he had nothing on his mind, he no longer sat in the sedan chair, and just walked to Xuanhuayuan in a safe step. Seeing that he was happy, Qin Zheng walked slowly with him.

As a result, no one noticed that the few warriors carrying the soft sedan slowed down and diverted to the Hanxiang Garden. It was already very deserted here, and there were not many guards guarding it. After hiding, he jumped into Hanxiang Garden. After entering, one person kept a watch outside, the three entered Hanxiang Garden, and probed around gently. Finally, the man who inspected the princess' bedroom made a gesture, and the other two flew over immediately, and one of them gently pushed the hall away. door, and then immediately dodged.

In the hall, Dong Que was shocked when he heard the sound, and when he looked back, two warriors had already flashed into the hall. Dong Que thought badly, could it be that Xiahou Yuanfeng was still a whistleblower, but if so, how could there be only two warriors here. He didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't care about the unconscious Jiang Zhe, he drew his sword and rushed towards the two warriors.

The two warriors were first-class masters, and at the same time they drew their swords to fight back. At the place where the three were fighting, he went to the bed and looked down to check Jiang Zhe's appearance. After a while, he raised his head and made a gesture. The two samurai looked bright, and the swordsmanship became more severe. Another warrior said in a low voice, "We are under King Qi. No matter what status you are in Prince Yong's Mansion, you should know that His Royal Highness King Qi has never been malicious to Lord Jiang. Now that you are in a dangerous place, why not take shelter for His Highness for the time being?"

Dong Que's expression changed, and his swordsmanship became more scattered. When the two warriors saw this, they stopped and did not attack, just to beware of Dong Que's shot. Dong Que also stopped and looked at the bedside. Although the warrior said kindly, he was standing beside Jiang Zhe with his hand on the hilt. Dong Que knew that there was no room for resistance, but he knew his own identity. It's dark, and meeting King Qi is harmful and useless. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly turned around and rushed out of the dormitory. Those warriors were all stunned, but they didn't expect him to abandon their master and run away. When the two warriors chased out the door, Dong Que, who was a savvy man, had long since disappeared. The three of them discussed that no matter what Dong Que did, they would not inform him. Anyway, Jiang Zhe had already got it, so it would be better to go back soon.

They took the unconscious Jiang Zhe outside, hid him in the sedan chair, and then carried the sedan chair back to Xuanhua Garden as if nothing had happened. No one paid attention to their actions along the way.

Back at Xuanhua Garden, they hid Jiang Zhe in the side hall according to King Qi's instructions, and then a warrior went to report to King Qi. Qin Zheng had already returned to Xiaoshuang Hall, so there were only two maids of Princess Qi in the room, and because of King Qi's cooperative attitude, he did not dare to disobey the order, and was driven to the outside by King Qi.

After the samurai reported in a low voice, Li Xian frowned slightly. Although he was trapped, he was still well informed. Not only did Qin Zheng tell him some news, but he also had a few cronies in the Imperial Army. Naturally, he knew that King Yong had broken through. , Princess Changle's mediation and Wei Ying's search of Hanxiang Garden. Therefore, in his judgment, Jiang Zhe is likely to hide in Hanxiangyuan, so he will use the opportunity to see the prince to let his men go to Hanxiangyuan to search. But now the situation is too strange, how could Jiang Zhe's guards escape

He was thinking, then the warrior whispered: "My lord, Lord Jiang is dying. If you don't treat him, I'm afraid that your life will be in danger."

Li Xian was shocked and said, "Let the imperial physician go to see and treat Jiang Zhe, remember, act carefully, and don't let the princess know about it."

Li Xian came here nominally due to illness, so he specially brought an imperial physician here. The imperial doctor was very distressed at the moment. He was not part of the prince's party. Now he was in such a predicament. If the situation changed, he might become a traitor to the party, but he did not dare to disobey the order of King Qi. After entering the side hall, he was shocked when he saw Jiang Zhe. When Jiang Zhe was assassinated, he was also one of the imperial doctors who went to diagnose and treat him, so he naturally recognized King Yong's cronies. The scene in front of him made him confused. King Qi clearly belonged to the prince's party, so how could he secretly hide King Yong's staff. But he knew that it would be better for him to act deaf and dumb. As soon as he stepped forward to diagnose the pulse, his brows were furrowed, and he said, "This lord was originally ill, has he cultivated well, and now his heart pulse is extremely weakened. Recipe, use ginseng juice as medicine, cultivate well, and it can still be cured." The warriors were overjoyed and said, "Doctor Qiao, you must treat him well, if this person has three long and two shortcomings, the prince will never let you go. "Doctor Qiao repeatedly promised that the medicine he brought this time was very complete, and after taking several medicines in a row, Jiang Zhe's complexion gradually became ruddy, his breath gradually became thicker, and his expression was very peaceful. Doctor Qiao wiped his sweat and said, "It's all right at last, but the body of your lord is too weak, and you need to take good care of it." The two warriors looked at each other, and they had also heard that King Yong's trusted aide was extremely weak, and His master also highly respected him, and he never expected to be such a weak scholar who seemed to die at any moment.

There was no incident all night, and when it was almost dawn, Jiang Zhe finally opened his eyes. They hurried to report to King Li Xian of Qi.

Feeling that someone was calling my name, I opened my eyes with difficulty. In fact, when I fainted last time, I doubted whether I would be able to wake up again. Although I feel powerless at the moment, I still thank God, He whispered, "Dong Que, Dong Que."

A voice came from my ear: "Suiyun, you are awake."

I was shocked. This voice was very familiar, but it was definitely not Dong Que. I turned my head and saw King Qi hurried in. I looked around subconsciously and smiled bitterly: "So Zhe has become a prisoner under the order. , but I don't know how to be here with the lord?"

Li Xian gave a wry smile, sat on the chair in front of the bed, and said, "Seeing you today, it's like a lifetime ago. I think Suiyun has already devised a strategy, and the second brother has secured the victory."

I tried hard to sit up, but my limbs were weak and I couldn't do it. King Qi quickly stepped forward to help me, and I sat up and asked, "What time is it now?"

Li Xian said lightly: "Today is September 22, and it will be the hour soon."

I breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the soldiers of King Qin will arrive soon. I hope King Yong is safe and sound.

Li Xian smiled and said: "Yesterday I sent someone to Hanxiang Garden, and I found you. Now no one knows you are here except for this king and a few confidants. Your guard is strange, seeing you fall into me. In the hands of his subordinates, he escaped."

I breathed a sigh of relief, Dong Que Ruo met with King Qi, and with King Qi's extraordinary intuition, I was afraid that there would be a danger of identity leakage.

Li Xian said with some pity: "Suiyun, you worked hard for your second brother. If someone from this king hadn't picked you up immediately, you might have died. Why did you come here? If you followed this king back then, why would you be here?"

I smiled lightly and said: "Zhe has received the great kindness of His Royal Highness King Yong. If you don't do your best at this time, you will not live up to the great kindness of King Yong."

Li Xian said with a look of hesitation: "This king is confident that if you are willing to submit to me, this king will treat you no less than your second brother."

I couldn't help but think of the day when I was pressing step by step, but King Yong finally showed mercy and let me live, as if it was just yesterday, and for a moment, I said, "Your Highness has a straightforward personality and extraordinary talent, and Zhe also admires it very much, but unfortunately Your Highness I made a wrong move at the beginning, and I am in a dilemma today, but what happened in the past is useless.

Li Xian smiled bitterly: "Last night I agreed to their request and wrote a warrant to my subordinates."

I was slightly taken aback and said: "Your Highness should know that now His Highness's department has no strength?"

Li Xian sighed and said, "My actual order is for them to stand still, and they won't do anything. As for who can win the eldest brother and the second brother, it's up to them."

I respectfully said: "His Royal Highness rein in his horse, I admire it very much."

Li Xian said with a bit of melancholy: "No matter who wins after the event, I am afraid that the fate of this king will not be different. If the second brother wins, this king wants to ask your lord one thing."

With a solemn expression, I said, "Your Highness saves the life of the minister. If the minister can do it, it will be smashed to the ground, and he will not refuse. Please show your Highness."

Li Xian sighed and said: "I know that the winner is the king, if the prince wins, the second brother's family will certainly suffer, although the prince promised yesterday that he would let the family of Yongwang's house go, but I understand him. If I lose face, I will find another way to kill them all. Similarly, if the second brother wins, the elder brother's family will not have a good end. But they are all close relatives, so I really can't let go. I hope that Suiyun will speak to the second brother, let go of the crown princess and the prince, and just abolish them as commoners. The second brother has always been magnanimous, and maybe he can agree. If the second brother agrees to this condition, I am willing to hand over the military power in my hands. out."

I was silent for a long time, and said, "Don't Your Highness think about yourself, the princess, and the prince?"

Li Xian's complexion changed greatly, and he didn't speak for a long time before he said: "I know this is impossible, Zheng'er participated in the betrayal, if the second brother wins, whether it is national law or family law, Zheng'er will not be spared, it is me and I Zheng'er's son will also be implicated, or my father will take care that I did not participate in the betrayal and spare my life, but my wife and children are all dead, how can I enjoy wealth and honor?"

I glanced at Li Xian and knew that he was right, that neither Princess Qi nor the Prince of Qi could get away with it. But it is inconvenient to say this, so I can only say: "The outcome is not yet predictable, Your Highness need not worry too much."

Li Xian smiled bitterly and said, "This king doesn't dare to have extravagant hopes, but seeing Suiyun, you are so calm, you know that the crown prince's chances of winning are not great."

Sending off King Qi, I have a lot of thoughts in my heart. Before today, all my thoughts were on how to increase King Yong's bargaining chips, and I couldn't care about anything else. How the situation develops now has nothing to do with me. If King Yong is defeated, then Naturally, I have nothing to say. I can only sacrifice myself. But if King Yong wins, what will happen next? King Yong will definitely ask me for my opinion. Life and death, can not be careless.

In my heart, the prince deserves to die, the Fengyi Sect must not continue to exist, and Wei Ying almost ruined the great cause of King Yong, no matter whether Wei Guan knows about Wei Ying or not, he will be implicated, but Wei Guan But it is the honor of the prime minister, with countless disciples, how to deal with it properly, without harming the country. And most importantly, King Qi. Although over the years, because of King Qi, the prince has become arrogant and arrogant, King Yong may be very resentful to King Qi. But there is no doubt that King Qi has a bright and upright temperament, attaches great importance to love and justice, and is a rare handsome talent. If he is executed or reprimanded, it will be Dayong's loss. However, King Qi has a fierce personality and is a ruthless character. Princess Qi will become the dead end of him and King Yong. If King Qi is easily let go, then there may be endless troubles in the future, which is really a dilemma. After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly laughed. King Yong and Shi Yu will handle these things properly, so why should I bother? Thinking of this, I gradually relaxed and fell asleep. Everything should have a result today and tomorrow.
