Yang Zhou, the deputy envoy of the Zhou Kingdom, and the younger brother of the Queen of Zhou are also the legitimate sons of the Yang family. The Yang family can be regarded as a century-old family in the Zhou Kingdom. In recent years, it has accumulated a high reputation both in opposition and in the court.
If not, how could Yang Zhou be chosen as an envoy based on his brain, which is similar to that of King Qi?
Once he dies, both the queen and the Yang family's opposition and court forces will definitely write to the emperor to send troops to conquer Chu. If a deputy envoy of the country dies tragically in a foreign country, the emperor will definitely unleash his thunderous wrath.
It is also reasonable to send troops to conquer.
It's just that the result was a bit unexpected. No one who deserved to die in the original plan died, and everyone who definitely wasn't in the plan died.
It was a big surprise for Emperor Zhou.
Li Xun was silent for a moment, looked at Xu Qing and said: "Yang Zhou has murdered Ning'er several times. Naturally, I hate him to the core. But if he dies, Chu will be at fault, and Chu will also be at fault with the world. The Emperor of Zhou
We must use this as an excuse to send troops, Brother Xu has taken good care of Ning'er, I cannot repay kindness with enmity."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Brother Li, just go ahead and do it. Chu State has its own countermeasures, and Brother Li doesn't think that as long as your mission returns intact, Zhou State will not be able to find an excuse to send troops, right?"
"This battle will start sooner or later. Without the mission trip, Zhou will find other excuses. The Emperor of Zhou will not let go of this excellent opportunity. Since he will find other excuses, it is better to
This incident is within the controllable range of Chu State."
Li Xun nodded when he heard this, and his eyes became fierce: "I understand, Li Xun takes leave."
Li Xun heard many unreasonable things from Xu Qing's words. For example, since the Chu State knew that the Zhou State would send troops sooner or later, why didn't he find this excuse? In this case, even if he lost to the Zhou State, he would at least occupy the righteousness
Also took the initiative.
However, Chu State clearly knew about Zhou State's plan, but still chose to be a bystander, silently watching Zhou State implement the original plan, and waiting quietly as if it were a trick.
Li Xun did not go to get to the bottom of it, and Xu Qing had no obligation to tell him all Chu's thoughts. Now he only needed to know that killing the deputy envoy of Zhou was not ungrateful!
Anyone who dares to hurt his sister should die!
…
The residence of the Zhou Dynasty envoy
The deputy envoy of Zhou State smashed the surrounding teacups and porcelain to pieces, frantically venting his inner anger.
This hateful concubine actually dared to ruin his good deeds over and over again!
How could he swallow this breath?!
The envoy surnamed Zhang on the side quickly laughed and flattered: "Sir, deputy envoy, please calm down, he is just a commoner, and he does not deserve to be so angry."
The deputy envoy of Zhou State looked around and found that there was nothing that could be thrown or smashed. Then he looked at the envoy named Zhang who was flattering and laughing at the side. Finally, he flew up and kicked the envoy named Zhang who was still laughing: "You bastard."
!Get out of here, me!"
The messenger surnamed Zhang did not dare to show the slightest hint of anger. He climbed up and stood up, still smiling: "Sir, please don't be angry. I'm leaving right now... I'm leaving right now..."
After saying this, the messenger surnamed Zhang hurriedly retreated, not daring to contradict him.
Just after the envoy named Zhang exited, Deputy Envoy Zhou suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart and looked towards the door.
I shouldn't have spoken like this just now.
Still too reckless.
How could you just tell him to get out of here?
He went out, why did he fight?
Just when the deputy envoy of Zhou State regretted it, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
The deputy envoy of Zhou State said angrily: "Who asked you to come back?!"
As he said this, he was going to deal with the envoy named Zhang indiscriminately, but when he raised his head, he found that the person who came in was not the envoy named Zhang, but the concubine he mentioned.
But there were only two of them here at this time, and the deputy envoy of Zhou State did not want to give any face to this envoy who only had a name but no real power.
The deputy envoy of Zhou State said solemnly: "What are you doing here?!"
Li Xun walked into the room step by step until he came to Yang Zhou, the deputy envoy of the State of Zhou, and looked at the deputy envoy of the State of Zhou expressionlessly from behind and said: "Have the deputy envoys forgotten the rules now? You should call me
For Your Highness or Your Majesty."
The deputy envoy of the State of Zhou sneered: "Your Majesty? Your Highness? I gave you a chicken feather and you really used it as a command arrow?! Li Xun, you are just a commoner with no real power in your hands! If you don't need to protect yourself in front of others, you will need Dazhou."
With the dignity of the royal family, do you think I will feed you one bite at a time?!"
At this moment, Deputy Envoy Zhou suddenly felt a tightness in his neck, his breathing suddenly became heavier, and there was clearly a plier-like hand on his neck.
Li Xun pinched Deputy Zhou's neck with his right hand and raised it up. Deputy Zhou's feet suddenly lifted off the ground. His whole face became redder and redder, and the veins on his face were visible. His feet
They all thumped feebly.
He opened his mouth with difficulty to call for help but no sound came out.
Yang Zhou weakly grasped Li Xun's hand around his neck with both hands. He tried to break it free but could not break open Li Xun's pliers-like hand.
Li Xun slowly raised his head and looked expressionlessly at Yang Zhou, who was being held up by his neck and still trying to struggle: "If I hadn't had some scruples in my heart, do you think you could still be alive today?"
Yang Zhou's feet were still thumping feebly, and his hands were still trying feebly to break away Li Xun's hand that was holding his neck. However, as Li Xun's right hand held him closer and closer, the veins on Yang Zhou's face became more and more intense.
It became more and more obvious, and finally the two hands and legs finally hung down feebly...
I can't lift it up anymore...
Li Xun stretched out his other hand and grabbed Yang Zhou's hanging hand. After making sure that Yang Zhou had no pulse, he let go.
Yang Zhou's body followed Li Xun's loosening hand and fell heavily to the wooden floor, making a dull sound.
Li Xun looked at Yang Zhou, who was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open but motionless. He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be telling Yang Zhou on the ground: "Now I have real power."
After saying that, Li Xun turned around and left the room of Deputy Envoy Zhou.
Half an hour later, the boy who came to serve tea looked at Yang Zhou lying motionless on the ground. He originally thought that the deputy envoy had fallen asleep, so he put the tea on the table and planned to go up and help Yang Zhou up.
The boy serving tea said while supporting him: "Sir, Deputy Ambassador, why are you sleeping on the ground? The ground is cold, so don't let your body catch a cold too..."
As he talked, the tea boy couldn't say anything...
Because he found that the deputy envoy was no longer a problem of catching a cold, the deputy envoy was already cold...
My whole body felt completely cold...
Then Yang Zhou's head turned, and the eyes of the boy serving tea suddenly met Yang Zhou's wide-eyed but motionless eyes...
The boy serving tea immediately loosened his grip, collapsed on the ground, and hurriedly ran out the door, shouting: "Dead...dead! Deputy...deputy envoy is dead!"
