Tang Yin didn't like Zhou Cong, and he didn't want to drink with him, so he used the excuse that he was injured and shouldn't drink, so he didn't drink even a drop of wine.
He did not drink alcohol, and the people present were not in high spirits, so the banquet became very dull. After a simple meal, Tang Yin asked: "Master Zhou, has my residence been arranged?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Cong nodded repeatedly and responded: "The villain has already vacated the other courtyard of the county capital, and has also sent elite soldiers from the county army to guard it day and night. It is absolutely foolproof."
"Very good." Tang Yin nodded and said, "I am also tired. Master Zhou will lead the way. Please take me to another courtyard to rest!"
"Yes!" Zhou Cong responded respectfully, then turned his head and winked at the dancers behind him.
The leading dancer immediately stepped forward and reached out to help Tang Yin. The latter frowned secretly, turned sideways, and blocked the dancer's hand. Then he looked at Zhou Cong and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhou, this is
What to do?"
"Ah, His Highness Feng Wang, this is Miss Lian'er. She is well-known in the county for her talent and beauty. Tonight, Miss Lian'er will sleep with His Highness..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. I am used to being alone. If there is one more person, I will have an uneasy sleep." As he spoke, he walked out.
It seemed that the flattery had hit the horse's leg. Zhou Cong looked very embarrassed. He was stunned for a while, and hurriedly chased him out. He did not dare to mention the matter of sleeping in the bed again, and said with an apologetic smile: "Your Highness, the other courtyard is over there.
please!"
The county capital of Dazhang is not small, and the courtyard is also spacious. As Zhou Cong said, the guards here are extremely strict.
The Sichuan Army officers and soldiers marched three steps to one post and five steps to one sentry. Not only did they surround the courtyard, but there were also countless patrol teams patrolling back and forth around the courtyard walls.
Although Zhou Cong was not very likable, Tang Yin was still very satisfied with his arrangement.
After entering the main room of the other courtyard and sitting for a while, Tang Yin sent Zhou Cong away. As soon as he left, Lotte came to Tang Yin and whispered: "Your Majesty, Zhou Cong has arranged the honor guard in the city.
Outside, look..."
Tang Yin smiled calmly after hearing this and said: "No matter how big the county capital is, it can't station an army of 20,000 or 30,000 people. What's more, there are still women in the palace. It will be inconvenient. It is normal to place them outside the city."
That was true, but Lotte always felt that there were too few guards around the king. When the Sichuan army was around, he had to be on guard at all times. Now that the Sichuan army was far outside the city, he began to worry again.
Seeing his worried expression, Tang Yin said happily: "Don't worry, we won't be staying in Dazhang for a long time. We will only stay one night and leave tomorrow. Everything will be fine."
I hope so! Lotte nodded and said no more.
Tang Yin settled in the county capital. Let's talk about Zhou Cong. After seeing off the officials attending the meeting, he immediately returned to his study. As soon as he opened the door and came in, he heard a low voice asking questions from inside: "How are things going?
How about it?"
I saw a big man in casual clothes sitting on the mat in the study room, holding a book in his hand, his face was as heavy as water, and his expression was gloomy and cold.
Zhou Cong shuddered, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his hands, and stammered: "General Hong, Feng Wang didn't drink, and he didn't... let Miss Lian'er sleep with him, so... what should I do?
"
"Are you asking me?" As he spoke, the big man slammed the book in his hand on the table and said coldly: "You can't handle such a trivial matter even if you have the nerve to ask.
what should I do!"
Zhou Cong shivered with fright, his legs became weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, rolled his eyes, and after pondering for a moment, he hurriedly said: "How about... why don't I wait until night and send Miss Lian'er to King Feng to try..."
"No need." The big man waved his hand and said quietly: "The Tang thief is insidious and cunning. What he did is too obvious, which will inevitably arouse the Tang thief's suspicion. This time, no matter what, we cannot let the Tang thief leave Dazhang alive. This is
According to the order of the Marquis, tonight, you will arrange your confidants in Dongcheng to let our army enter the city!"
Zhou Cong took in a breath, his whole heart was in doubt, and asked: "What does the Marquis mean..."
"If the dark side doesn't work, let the bright side come to light. Raise your troops and kill them!" The big man's eyes showed murderous intent.
After hearing this, Zhou Cong was almost frightened and fell to the ground. He raised his troops to surround and kill the Wind King. Doesn't this mean that he openly opposed the imperial court and rebelled with his colleagues? Seeing that his face was pale with fright and he was sweating like rain, the big man laughed.
With a voice, he said: "Don't worry, if the sky falls, the Marquis will naturally be there to support you, and it has nothing to do with you. This time, you just need to cooperate with the Marquis. You will be prosperous in the future, and it will be just around the corner. If something goes wrong again, hehe, Mr. Zhou, not only will
You won’t be able to save your head, and your whole family of sixteen will all be moved!”
Zhou Cong was so frightened that he could no longer stand. He knelt down on the ground and said repeatedly: "I will never make another mistake again, I will never make another mistake!"
The big man stood up with a sinister smile, walked to Zhou Cong, pulled him up, and then whispered: "You think of a way to subdue Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan next to the Tang thief first. As long as there are no such two
With people here, killing the Tang thieves is as easy as turning the palm of your hand."
"Suppress Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan?" Zhou Cong grinned when he heard this. These two are elders of Shenchi, the top spiritual martial arts masters. What instincts does he have to subdue them?
The big man looked at Zhou Congli with joy, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "It all depends on your ability, Mr. Zhou. If you can handle this well, you have done a great job. If you can't handle it well, as I said before, wash your neck and wait."
Get stabbed!" As he spoke, he swayed out and said without looking back: "Remember, tonight, at midnight, we will open the East City." As he spoke, he had already walked out of the study.
He left, but Zhou Cong was dumbfounded. He was the county chief. It was not difficult to open the city gate in the middle of the night. The difficulty was that he was required to subdue Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan, even if the county capital's troops were increased.
Together, they may not be able to beat these two!
What should we do?! Zhou Cong scratched his head and head anxiously. After thinking about it, he walked outside the study and asked the servant at the door to find his two most trusted aides.
The two aides Zhou Cong found were both his confidants. One was an 'old man' who had been with him for twenty or thirty years, and the other was his nephew. After the two people arrived in the study, Zhou Cong opened the door first.
Guan Yan then told the whole story to the two of them. Finally, he said with a bitter look on his face: "Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan, one is the great elder of Shenchi, and the other is the elder of Shenchi.
How can I control them both!"
The staff member who was fifty years away was named Lu Tong. He was very resourceful. He rolled his eyes and said: "My lord, if you want to subdue these two elders of Shenchi, you can only outwit them. My lord, isn't today's banquet not very enjoyable?"
"Why don't you use this as an excuse to invite Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan to have supper together in the evening, and take this opportunity to drug them both."
Oh? This is a good idea! Zhou Cong's eyes lit up and he immediately became energetic. Zhou Cong's nephew Liao Fei shook his head repeatedly and said anxiously: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate!"
"Fei'er, what's wrong?"
"The whole thing is inappropriate!" Liao Fei said urgently: "Uncle, think about it carefully. The peace negotiation between Fengchuan and Fengchuan is the king's will, and the court has accepted it. If we help the Blood-clothed Marquis kill the Feng King,
Now, who will be the unlucky person in the end? The blood-clothed marquis saved the king's life. Even if he talked back to the king, the king would not punish him. Killing the Wind King was a big deal. The king might not be able to punish the blood-clothed marquis.
Hou, but the king will never let my uncle go. Then my uncle will be regarded as the culprit who killed the Wind King, and the nine tribes will be implicated!"
When Zhou Cong heard these words, he was sweating like rain and couldn't recover for a long time.
Liao Fei continued: "Fortunately, King Feng didn't drink. Uncle, is the wine poisonous?"
Zhou Cong shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's not poisonous, it's not poisonous, it's just a little bit of poison. It was given to me by General Hong who was sent by the Bloody Marquis. It's colorless and odorless..."
"Whether it's drugged or poisoned, in short, my uncle must not be involved in this matter, otherwise..." Liao Fei shook his head, and then couldn't help but shudder.
"But if I don't help the Bloody Marquis, I still can't save my life, uncle!" Zhou Cong said tremblingly.
"Disobeying the Blood-clothed Marquis may lead to a narrow escape from death, but if you disobey the king's order, then... that would be treason, an unforgivable crime, and you will die without rebirth!" Liao Fei said urgently.
This matter is also related to his own wealth and life. If Zhou Cong is implicated in the Nine Clan, he will not be able to escape either.
Lu Tong pondered for a long time and then said: "Both the King and the Bloody Marquis cannot be offended by adults. In my opinion, the Bloody Marquis is more terrifying. The King has always been kind, while the Bloody Marquis is ruthless. The King is far away in Zhaoyang, but
The Bloody Marquis is in our Bianyang County, so for the time being, you have to stand by the Bloody Marquis and obey his orders. Only in this way can you protect yourself from persecution."
His words spoke to Zhou Cong's heart. If he still had a choice, he would not help the Xueyi Hou do such a thing anyway. He really had no choice now.
Although he is the head of a county and a high-ranking official, he is a dignified marquis and has a large number of soldiers. Killing him is as easy as crushing an ant.
He thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said, "Mr. Lu, just do what you want!"
Liao Feiteng suddenly stood up and said urgently: "Uncle, you must not harm the Wind King. This... this is not a crime we can afford. This is going to push us into a pit of fire!"
"
Zhou Cong slammed the table and said in a deep voice: "Fei'er, you don't need to say any more, uncle, I have made up my mind!"
Liao Fei looked at Zhou Cong and subconsciously took a step back. At the same time, he lamented in his heart: It's over! Not only is his uncle over, he and his parents are also over.
How big a sin must it be to assassinate the Feng King, sabotage the peace talks between the two countries, and push the Sichuan and Feng countries into war? Who can save them when the Dongchuang incident occurs?
