The Grandmaster Strategist

Chapter 96: Retreat to advance

Views:

Fengyi Sect Master's eyes fell on Jiang Zhe, an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes, she said in a cold voice: "His Royal Highness King Yong, this is the end, no matter what my Fengyi Sect's original intention is, for Dayong , is already a rebellious enemy. Your Highness wants to kill Fengyimen, and no one can stop it. This seat just wants to remind His Highness of one thing. Although His Royal Highness still has the advantage now, as long as there is this seat here , then His Highness must be concerned about his own safety.

The emperor and this seat are friends in adversity, so this seat can not kill him, but the two noble concubines, Princess Changle, King Yong you, King Li Xian of Qi, and these loyal ministers and brave generals, if this seat is willing, don't even think about any of you. Escape from Xiaoshuang Palace. Although these disciples of this seat will also be killed in the hunting palace because of this, my Fengyi Sect still has some hidden powers, and they will not be stunned by this. Speaking of which, this was originally a bit of selfishness of this seat. My junior sisters and maids are people who have lived through hundreds of battles and survived the catastrophe. I don’t want them to get involved in danger again. In addition, this seat also despised His Royal Highness King Yong, thinking that with Wei Ying, Han You and the others, they could successfully seize the palace, and leaving this power would also be able to deal with the possible provocations of the Demon Sect.

Your Highness, you should be very clear, no matter who wins or loses between you and me, the Northern Han Demon Sect will not miss this opportunity, otherwise His Highness and King Qi will not both pass down a secret order in advance, ordering the army to strictly guard the pass and prevent the north. Han's raid. Now, if His Highness is unwilling to open the net, then this seat can only open the killing ring, but this seat will definitely spare His Highness's life, and then go back to lead the remnants of this sect and start a turmoil in Dayong territory. At that time, the interior will be unstable. , The Northern Han army took the opportunity to enter the pirates, and when the Dayong Society was in internal and external troubles, although His Royal Highness was alive, I am afraid that he would regret it later, and he would only regret not dying. "

Although her voice was flat and cold, everyone in the hall felt cold in their hearts when they heard it. Li Yuan had already helped the eldest concubine Guifei at this time, and stood up slowly and said: "Master of the sect, don't be arrogant, the sect master and Dayong are closely related. Your disciple made a big mistake, but everything is negotiable, please calm the anger of the sect master."

When he said this, everyone in the hall was in an uproar. No matter how strong Fengyi's martial arts were, he was always rebellious. As a king, how could Li Yuan be so weak. Li Zhi frowned, glanced at his father, and said, "What my father said is what this king thinks, the door owner is a glorious person, this rebellious thing may not be the door owner's ambassador, as long as the door owner makes up his mind, he will These rebellions are handed over to this king, and if the sect master is willing, the Dayong royal family is willing to build a palace for the sect master so that the sect master can clean it up."

Although Li Zhi said that he agreed with Li Yuan's decision, everyone could hear that Li Zhi wanted the master of Fengyi to kill the people involved in the treason, and then voluntarily put him under house arrest. She can only become a vassal of the royal family, and although the sect master Fengyi participated in the rebellion, if she can control her, with her identity as a master, she can also shock the Demon Sect of the Northern Han Dynasty. This was also Li Zhi's helpless move. The elder Cizhen, who was responsible for containing the master of Fengyi, disappeared, but the master of Fengyi came to the Hunting Palace, thinking of the identity of the head of the three masters of the master of Fengyi, then Elder Cizhen may have already disappeared. He suffered misfortune. In this way, if Fengyi's sect master turned away from Dayong again, Dayong would lose the candidate who could compete with the Northern Han Demon Sect. Therefore, although Li Zhi hated Fengyi's sect, he had to make a compromise.

A smug look flashed in Fan Huiyao's eyes, just as she was about to speak, she heard a crisp sound. She looked up, but saw Jiang Zhe's expression was cold, Princess Changle had already stood up, standing beside him, frowning slightly. , looking at Jiang Zhe's eyes full of worry, and at Jiang Zhe's feet, a piece of crystal clear jade was torn apart, apparently Jiang Zhe smashed the jade that he was wearing on the hall.

Li Zhi looked surprised. In the past two years, if he saw some bamboo fans, inkstones, and elegant things, they would definitely be bought and given to Jiang Zhe to enjoy. This piece of jade was given to Jiang Zhe a few years ago. As for the material, although it is precious, it is also common. What is rare is the exquisite workmanship of the knife, and there is a picture of Hongmen Banquet engraved on the back. Jiang Zhe loves this piece of jade very much, so he wears it all the time. Today, Yu Jue was smashed to pieces, and it seemed that he was very angry.

But before Li Zhi could react, Jiang Zhe said with a smile: "The sect master is in danger today, and Zhe Pi is worthless as the sect master. The so-called son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall. Why should the sect master open his eyes for these rebellions, Master Cizhen It is the identity of the master, although it may be slightly inferior to the door owner, but it is impossible for the door owner to get out easily. Jiang has a little knowledge of medicine, although the door owner uses medicine to maintain a lifeline, but if he wants to save his life, he still Don't act rashly. Otherwise, Zhezhi's small life can be served with both hands, but the sect master doesn't want to leave the hunting palace alive. Xiao Shunzi, now in this palace, the emperor is the honor of the ninety-five, His Royal Highness Yongwang and Qiwang are both It is the important minister of Dayong Sheji, if I want you not to worry about my life and death, are you sure you can keep at least one person?"

Xiao Shunzi said coldly, "Young master, don't worry, although the servants are incompetent, they will never let Fengyi's sect master do whatever he wants."

My smile was even more cheerful, and I continued: "Sect master, under the whole world, is it not the king's land, leading the shore of the land, is it not the king's minister, in any case, Fengyimen is still in Dayong's territory, it is Dayong's people, today's emperor As long as one of the two His Royal Highnesses survives, the allies of Fengyi Sect and Gui Sect will not want to leave a legacy. By then, not only the fame of the Sect Master I will be ruined here, but the Dayong court will also suffer heavy losses. In any case, Dayong Establishing a country, the sect master has made great contributions. If the Dayong Society and Ji are in danger, and the Fengyi Sect commits treason and endangers the national artifact, he can only leave a name for the ages and be despised by future generations. How can the sect master face the world? "

Fengyi's face was sinking like water, and he didn't seem to be at all tempted by what Jiang Zhe said, but Li Zhi's eyes lit up. If Fengyi's door was seriously injured, then it would be best to kill him. If you want to come to Jiang Zhe Throwing the Jue on the ground is urging yourself not to hesitate, and to make up your mind. His eyes flashed, and he had already made a few gestures secretly. The people in the hall quickly formed three army formations, with Emperor Yong Li Yuan, King Yong Li Zhi, and King Qi Li Xianhu in the middle. Although everyone did not act rashly for the sake of angering Fengyi's sect master, everyone was determined to protect these three people when Fengyi sect master started. Even the guards and soldiers who protected King Li Xian of Qi were also cruel, and would rather exchange their lives for the possibility of Li Xian's survival. No one knows that now, apart from King Yong, Li Xian is also a candidate who has the ability to take over the throne.

Sect Master Fengyi sighed in his heart, and looked at Jiang Zhe with a bit of murderous intent. At this time, Xiao Shunzi and Leng Chuan took a step towards Sect Master Fengyi at the same time. If Sect Master Fengyi started, then these two would be The main force blocking Fengyi's sect master.

At this time, I saw that the purpose of suppressing the aura of the Sect Master Fengyi had been achieved, and if I continued to force it and let the Sect Master Feng Yi take risks, the result would be a bit tragic, so I said, "Sect Master, although we can kill everything now. Killing, but considering the credit of the sect master, His Royal Highness King Yong still hopes to reach an agreement with the sect master. Now most of your disciples are poisoned. If they fight together, they will die by the sword first. If the sect master is willing to give in One step, then it is not unfeasible to turn war into jade, even these noble disciples who are involved in rebellion, Jiang can also make the decision to let them go."

Sect Master Fengyi smiled coldly and said, "Jiang Sima really has a good plan. I wonder if His Royal Highness King Yong also meant the same thing?"

Li Zhi said loudly: "What Jiang Sima said is the decision of this king." He was a little puzzled. Jiang Zhe's words were vague, but he didn't seem to want Fengyi's sect master to hand over the disciples who participated in the rebellion. Wouldn't this condition be even better? You are generous, but he has always believed in Jiang Zhe, so he did not stop him.

Sect Master Fengyi sighed lightly, but she understood that Jiang Zhe's intention was not in those disciples of Fengyi Sect, but on herself. If she really kept these trusted disciples, how would she lead Fengyi Sect in the future, it would be inevitable It's all betrayal. In addition, Jiang Zhe pointed out the fact that he was seriously injured, then King Yong would besiege him at all costs, and Fengyi Sect would naturally suffer heavy losses, and he would not even want to leave this place. But if that's the case, Jiang Zhe probably felt heartbroken about the price he had to pay for besieging him, so he first pointed out that he couldn't kill all the important people, and then pointed out the fact that he was seriously injured, and then hinted to himself that there was Xiao Shunzi like this With the existence of the masters of Fengyi, it is absolutely impossible for him to leave the Hunting Palace. In this way, the so-called retreat step, since he promised to let the remaining disciples of Fengyi Sect go, he can only commit suicide to thank the world.

Fengyi's sect master has a lot of thoughts in his heart. If she is not injured, she will naturally come and go freely, then Jiang Zhe's purpose is just a joke. However, Master Cizhen's Buddhist magic is unparalleled in the world. She defeated Master Cizhen only because of her serious injuries. Although the old monk had already promised to go back to recover from his injuries, he would not come to hinder him in a short time, but in order to rush to the hunting palace to save the overall situation, she His internal injuries were already very heavy. If he hadn't taken that life-saving medicine pill, Sect Master Fengyi would probably have been unable to take action at this moment. But even if there is medicinal power to help, if you go through a hard fight, you will only have one result, that is, the qi dissipating power will disappear, and the heart pulse will be cut off. With a master like Xiao Shunzi, he could not kill Emperor Yong and his son at the same time. In the end, not only did he die in Jiuquan, but even one of his disciples could not escape.

With a slightly wry smile, Fengyi's sect master thought to himself, he could not have imagined that he was a hero in his life, but was forced to kill here by this weak and weak scholar. I thought that by relying on the prestige of the master, I could force King Yong to surrender, but Jiang Zhe could see through her injuries. Yes, how could I forget who Jiang Zhe's medical teacher was? Isn't the Jiuzhuan Heart Protection Pill that Li Shun gave to Jiang Zhe a clear proof? Moreover, if he hadn't taken the Jiuzhuan Heart Protection Pill that the person handed him twenty years ago, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to stand here now.

Although the face of Fengyi's sect master covered in white veil, others can't tell, but seeing her silent, they know that Jiang Zhe's words are not false. Some sensitive people also think of Jiang Zhe's intention, but they are forced to kill. Sect Master Fengyi, is this possible? Everyone has automatically abandoned this idea, so they are still guessing what Jiang Zhe's intentions are.

After a long time, the sect master Fengyi sighed softly: "It's not impossible to take a step back, if His Royal Highness Prince Yong agrees to let me and my sects go, and doesn't order to kill them within seven days, then this seat can do it. Agree to this condition."

I glanced at Li Zhi, his expression was a little confused, but he still nodded lightly, and Li Yuan didn't want to anger Fengyi's sect master, so naturally he didn't say anything to refuse, my eyes flashed and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Yong does not have this condition. Objection, but Prince Li An and Wei Ying are not disciples of your family, so they can't be counted among them."

Fengyi's sect master said lightly: "Li An is a member of the royal family, and this seat will not take care of it. Wei Ying is a registered disciple of this seat and must leave."

I was satisfied as long as I left Li An, and said: "In this case, we have nothing to say, but this is not suitable for rest, the sect master has to supervise the emperor and His Highness here for seven days, so I can't waste it like this, if the sect master is here Allow, we will prepare a quiet place for the door owner to rest."

The head of Fengyi's sect suddenly moved in his heart, and said, "It's okay, but I need to leave hostages by my side, otherwise, if you break your trust, wouldn't I be able to find someone to kill you."

I was well prepared and said calmly, "Your Majesty is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and His Royal Highness King Yong has to control the overall situation. The two noble concubines and His Royal Highnesses are both frightened, how can I bear to let them continue to be frightened, and the generals have to restrain their soldiers. Ma, the minister in the court is willing to take the hostage, but I am afraid that the door owner will not be able to trust it. If the door owner does not dislike it, both His Royal Highness King Qi and Jiang can be taken as hostages. If the emperor and His Royal Highness Yong Wang have broken their trust, the door owner can take it. Both my lives were paid for."

Sect Master Fengyi smiled lightly and said: "Jiang Sima can choose people, it's okay, this seat agrees, but I also want to make it clear, if the emperor and His Royal Highness Yongwang want to leave the hunting palace within seven days, they can Don't blame me for breaking my promise."

Li Zhi glanced at Li Yuan and said, "Since the sect master said so, this king and the royal father will not leave the hunting palace within seven days to show their sincerity."

At this time, everyone felt that Jiang Zhe was really talented. Although they didn't know what agreement he and Fengyi Sect Master had reached, they could at least temporarily stabilize Feng Yi Sect Master, and within seven days, enough for everyone to make proper arrangements. , At that time, if Fengyi's sect master is attacked again, it may not be greater than the loss now, and if it can be solved properly, it will not be a loss. After all, everyone is now worried that Fengyi's sect master will kill. As for those rebels, It can always be dealt with slowly.

Moreover, the two hostages Jiang Zhe chose are also very clever. He is willing to be hostages, and he is loyal and righteous, and King Qi's being a hostage is also an opportunity to redeem his sins, and he will not refuse it if he wants to. And King Yong would never have the heart to sacrifice Jiang Zhe, and Li Yuan would never have the heart to sacrifice King Qi. In this way, Fengyi Sect Master could be reassured, and the hostages would not be dissatisfied. Therefore, even if those rebellions cannot be convicted in the end, for the Dayong court, which has been able to eliminate all the forces of Fengyi Sect, the gains are more than the losses.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Li Hanyou suddenly said loudly: "Master, Master, it is Li Zhen, Jiang Zhe and Xiahou Yuanfeng who ruined our major affairs, Master can't let them go."

Sect Master Fengyi glanced at Li Hanyou, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and said: "Hanyou, don't say it, Jiang Sima, I think that the poisoning of my disciples is your masterpiece, but I don't know how you poisoned it, and where is the antidote? ?"

I was prepared to say calmly: "Wansheng has long been worried. If His Royal Highness King Yong leads troops to King Qin, and if your family holds His Majesty and others hostage, what should we do if we don't dare to attack. In order to successfully rescue the emperor, I will be born late. Please ask Princess Changle to send her confidants to replace the spices burning in the incense burner in Xiaoshuang Hall with Xiaoyaoxiang produced in southern Xinjiang. Most of the disciples of Yimen live in wealthy and wealthy families all the year round, and they will not stop such elegant things as burning incense. However, if this kind of fragrance is smelled for twelve hours in a row, then another kind of southern Xinjiang specialty Aconitum grass will be inhaled. , it will make the limbs weak. Wansheng insisted on coming to Xiaoshuang Hall regardless of his illness, just to bring the ointment refined from Aconitum powder, and then let Xiaoshunzi use internal force to urge the Aconitum medicine. The scent of the medicine was mixed up, so I didn't notice the smell of Aconitum, and the princess had already mixed the antidote into the wine for the emperor and all the adults to take, so only the disciples of your family were poisoned."

Sect Master Fengyi smiled lightly and said, "Jiang Sima is worthy of being a disciple of the sage of medicine. He is good at mixing poisons, and I admire it." Then she saw the smugness flashing in Jiang Zhe's eyes, and she felt relieved in her heart. It seems that Jiang Zhe is also a person, and she will inevitably feel proud, so it will be very good for her next move. So, she said more and more kindly: "Since this is the case, please ask Jiang Sima to deliver the antidote and let my disciples leave early."

I glanced at King Yong and asked for instructions. Li Zhi nodded and said, "Suiyun, hand over the antidote to the sect master, but the sect master also asks your disciples to hand over the weapons temporarily, otherwise this king will not be at ease."

A cold light flashed in Fengyi's eyes, and said, "Of course, if His Royal Highness Prince Yong is worried, you can ask the emperor to temporarily avoid it."

Li Zhi was overjoyed and said, "Since there are such a large number of sect masters, then this king will accept his love. Changle, hurry up and accompany the two empresses to the side hall to rest."

Princess Changle hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jiang Zhe, and said, "Changle obeys." After that, she walked up the imperial steps, she was going to help Li Yuan. Who would have guessed that just after walking halfway, a cold light suddenly shot up, and a coquettish voice said: "Li Zhen, die." Li Hanyou, who had collapsed on the ground, actually flew up and stabbed Princess Changle with a sword. The chest, this time is unexpected, who would have thought that Li Hanyou, who was poisoned to the ground, would be violently mounted. Everyone's attention was originally on Fengyi's sect master. Who would pay attention to a poisoned woman, not to mention that no one thought that Li Hanyou would take action when Fengyi sect master agreed to compromise. At this time, Leng Chuan and Xiao Shunzi were both a few feet away. Although they both screamed and swooped forward at the same time, it was too late to stop them. The other masters who guarded Emperor Yong died and were injured. Even those who were not injured did not pay attention to Li Hanyou, and none of them had time to rescue him. As for Fengyi Sect, Wei Ying, Xiao Lan, and Feng Feifei retreated to protect the people of Fengyi Sect after Fengyi Sect Master appeared. First, they would not even think of rescuing Princess Changle. The only person capable of rescuing Princess Changle was the Sect Master Fengyi, but the Sect Master Fengyi was about to make a move when he felt a surge of blood in his chest. She was thinking about how to prevent Princess Changle's death from affecting the agreement between the two parties.
