Chapter 190 Lord Jiulang's Giving and Helping Hand
Chapter 190 Lord Jiulang’s helping hand
He was her Majesty in his heart and mind. He knew that this piece of elm wood did not have a mutual affection for Yuan You, but she was the only one who cared about him so much. Ying Wuchen felt a little bitter in his heart.
It's not like we have lost our sense of proportion. At this time, attacking Zhou's eldest brother head-on and secretly provoking him can indeed get twice the result with half the effort.
"Zi Yi, get someone to attack Zhou Ye's eldest son and third son." Ying Wuchen ordered.
"Nuo." Zi responded and went down to arrange the arrangements and give instructions. When he returned, he saw a box of silver needles in Ying Wuchen's hand.
Qinghua Zhuoyao's face had soft brows, a faint smile gleaming in his deep pupils, and his jade-carved fingertips gently caressed the honeysuckle pattern on the lid of the box.
As soon as the son knew that his lord was in a good mood, he said: "My lord, the eldest son of the Zhou family has three sons. The second son is both civil and military, and he is also the most prestigious person in the eldest house. Why do you want to keep the second son alone?"
If you want to kill, why not kill someone more useful?
"Leaving a straw bag, how can you cause trouble to Zhou Rong?" Ying Wuchen turned his fingertips, and the twisted silver needle turned out of the flower shadow.
There needs to be someone who has the means to give Zhou Rong an unexpected surprise when necessary.
"I will teach you." Ziyi suddenly bowed.
Long eyelashes slightly drooped, Ying Wuchen's gaze always fell on the silver needle: "Go home and get a set of acupuncture medical books from my study."
In fact, Ying Wuchen was not good at medicine. It was only because of Zhong Liyin that he paid more attention to things related to toxins in his body. He did only have a brief understanding of medical science.
Jun Ci gave him the medical book, and his joy was genuine. One reason was that she gave it to him, and the other reason was related to the poison in Zhongliyin's body.
After receiving this unusual-looking silver needle, Ying Wuchen knew that Jun Ci had probably misunderstood his preferences and thought he was addicted to medicine.
Since it was what she expected, he studied it carefully and became a master.
Because of this set of silver needles, Ying Wuchen was in a good mood and didn't care much about what she said about watching over Yuan You.
As early as two days ago, Zhou Rong had already asked Yuan You to take the princes and ministers to the autumn hunt. Yuan You did not refuse. The entire capital was getting ready to go to the autumn hunt in two days.
It just so happens that I give Zhou Rong a big gift before the autumn hunting.
Flags covered the sky, autumn rustled, galloping horses galloped among the vast mountains and forests, fat prey was shot, and there was a sound of laughter and cheers.
High in the sky, a goshawk hovers from time to time, then flies away and disappears in the blink of an eye.
"Your Majesty, can you compete with me?" Zhou Rong rode beside Yuan You, looking away from the crowds of princes and nobles gathering in the distance to hunt, and looked at Yuan You with a smile.
"The Prime Minister has been a soldier all his life, and he is actually the best in our dynasty in riding and shooting. I am still young, how can I compare to the Prime Minister?" Yuan You held the reins with both hands, and the horse walked very slowly, which made him extremely
Leisurely.
"I am already over half a century old, and the sun is fading. Your Majesty is in your prime. If I can defeat you, it will be your Majesty who takes pity on the old minister and makes face for him." Zhou Rong smiled, "I still remember your majesty's demeanor in the past.
I'm afraid these guys have never seen each other before, why don't you tell them to open their eyes today?"
"The Prime Minister is so kind, I can't shirk it anymore. How will the Prime Minister compete?" Yuan You agreed.
Zhou Rong cast his sharp eyes into the mountains: "A few days ago, I rescued a deer in the hunting ground. The deer's hooves were tied with cloth. If I and Your Majesty don't bet on this deer, we will see who is lucky enough to find it and capture it."
?”
Yuan You nodded: "Since it is a comparison, there must be some color to make it interesting."
After a pause, Yuan You said: "Xu Mu, who joined the army a few days ago, reported that the prime minister has worked hard and made great achievements, so he should be awarded nine tins..."
As he said that, Yuan You turned to look at Zhou Rong with a sly smile on his lips: "The great prime minister's merits are given to Jiuxi, but the clan and several ministers all regard it as the Jiuxi today.
If the Prime Minister of Japan performs great feats again, I will give you nothing more.
I feel that the Prime Minister is well-deserved, but the imperial court has strong opinions, so why not make this an appointment today. If the Prime Minister can win, I will do my best to overcome all opinions and give Nine Tins to the Prime Minister."
Even Zhou Rong, who was as still as a mountain, his heart was beating wildly for no reason. He never thought that Yuan You would use this as a bet!
The gift of Jiuxi was because he sent someone to test Zhou Rong. If he could give Jiuxi, he would be one step closer to the throne. As long as Yuan You had some good points and two shortcomings, he could use this as an excuse to take over the Northern Dynasty. It was more logical and not
It is necessary to face the verbal and written criticism of civil servants, and it must be frightened by force and blood in order to be justified.
With such a big bet, was Yuan You sure of winning, or did he know that he wanted to take Yuan You's life today and could not avoid this disaster. It no longer mattered whether Yuan You would grant Jiuxi or not, so he simply put his all in.
?
Concentrating his mind, Zhou Rong clasped his hands and said, "How can I be so virtuous and talented that your majesty will give me nine tins? If so, I'm afraid I won't be able to get my winnings..."
"The governor of Yuan Dynasty went to Yidu to recuperate, and the governor of Bingzhou is still pending. If I win this time, why not appoint a capable person to assist the prime minister?" Yuan You had already made a plan and said frankly.
came out.
Bingzhou was Zhou Rong's territory. In recent years, almost all officials of Bingzhou, big and small, accepted his fate directly.
Yuan Duo was sent to Yidu. Due to fierce competition within the Zhou family, Zhou Rong never settled on this position.
"As your Majesty said." Zhou Rong agreed and came down without thinking.
Not to mention whether Yuan You can win, even if he can win by chance, he can easily defeat the governor of Bingzhou!
"As long as the sun sets, Prime Minister, I will take the first step." After saying that, Yuan You raised his whip and galloped into the high mountains.
Zhou Rong sneered, whipped up his horse, and did not chase after Yuan You, but galloped in from the other side.
An ambush had been set up in the paddock, and Yuan You almost never stopped being assassinated along the way, while Zhou Rong was leisurely looking for the deer, but this deer had already become Ying Wuchen's bag.
Zhou Rong could not go there in person. Not only did he not accompany Yuan You, he also brought a large number of people with him to serve as witnesses that he had nothing to do with His Majesty's assassination.
Regarding the assassination of Yuan You, Ying Wuchen did not help. This time Yuan You was not suddenly plotted, nor was he forced into Mobei. He was prepared and was in the capital. If he still escaped
Without Zhou Rong's clutches, he would be too useless and not worthy of Jun Ci's painstaking planning for him.
Yuan You brought hundreds of people, all of whom he had carefully trained, and gathered them all in the enclosure. Naturally, he also killed all the people sent by Zhou Rong.
Chou Er waited until both parties fell down, then put on a mask and stood in front of the unconscious Yuan You. He placed Yuan You on his own horse, and the marked deer was also tied to the horse.
, he raised his whip and whipped the horse.
Watching the horse carrying Yuan You galloping on its back, he did not keep up.
