Chu Yi was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "The art of Qimen Dunjia?"
Huang Zhong nodded and said: "That's right, apart from the Qimen Dunjia technique, Huang really can't think of any other way to escape from my hands!"
His breath was a little confused, and the pale-faced Fang Yue couldn't help but speak when he heard the words: "When Fang was not yet a teacher, he heard his master say that Qimen Dunjia originated from the Dunjia Heavenly Book, and this book is in the hands of the immortal Zuo Ci.
Could it be that this Taoist has some connection with Zuo Ci?"
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the Taoist was actually involved with Zuo Ci, one of the three immortals in the late Han Dynasty. If it were historical, Chu Yi might have heard it as a joke, but this side of the world has super strong military force.
But Zuo Ci can have the title of one of the three immortals, so he must not be an ordinary person.
With the cultivation of the strong men in this world, if Zuo Ci was just a liar, he would have been beaten to death long before his reputation spread.
Compared to Zuo Ci, who has no power and is just a swindler, Chu Yi is more willing to believe that he is a strong man with unfathomable cultivation.
Chu Yi was still guessing who was instigating the Taoist just now. Now after hearing what Fang Yue said, Chu Yi couldn't help but wonder if the other party was related to Zuo Ci.
After all, in this world, the method of cultivation cannot be obtained and practiced casually. If there is no inheritance relationship, then the Taoist will definitely not be able to perform the Qimen Dunjia technique.
Seeing Chu Yi deep in thought, Huang Zhong looked at Chu Yi solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, Huang was too careless this time and didn't prepare for the fact that the other party actually mastered the art of evading armor.
So I was able to escape after a short while. But if Huang is given another chance, Huang can guarantee that he will be able to kill him on the spot before he escapes."
With Huang Zhong's strength, he is really qualified to say such words. After all, a strong man like Shi Daoren also masters the secret technique of Qimen Dunjia. If they really fight, the world can defeat him.
There are really only a handful of people left.
Chu Yi smiled slightly, nodded towards Huang Zhong, turned around and walked into the carriage and said: "Let's set off."
After experiencing an assassination, although it was a bit thrilling, it was a near miss after all. However, both Fang Yue and Huang Zhong were now on heightened alert.
Huang Zhong even sat in front of the carriage to drive the carriage for Chu Yi. Despite the falling wind and snow, he entered the capital all the way and returned to the mansion smoothly.
But it was said that Shi Daoren failed to intercept Chu Yi halfway and was even injured by Huang Zhong. If Shi Daoren hadn't used his Qimen Dunjia technique at the last moment, he would have fallen into Huang Zhong's hands.
Shi Daoren, who looked quite pale, made sure that no one was following him, and then entered the general's mansion through a side door.
The huge study room was filled with warmth at the moment. General He Jin was playing with several beauties. Suddenly, He Jin's body stiffened, and then he heard He Jin wave his hand to signal the beauties to retreat.
Down.
The figure of Shi Daoren appeared in front of He Jin. He Jin suddenly stood up and looked at Shi Daoren and said: "Taoist Master, is this trip going well?"
When Chu Yi left the military camp, it was reported by He Jin's people in the Eighth School of Xiyuan. Therefore, the historians were able to grasp Chu Yi's whereabouts largely due to the clues provided by He Jin.
Therefore, He Jin knew that Taoist Shi had gone out of the city to ambush Chu Yi in the snow not long ago. Now seeing Taoist Shi return, He Jin was naturally curious about whether Taoist Shi had successfully killed Chu Yi.
After exhaling a breath and calming down, Shi Daoren shook his head and looked at He Jin with a gloomy expression: "General, apart from Lu Bu, are there any other peerless generals around Chu Yi?"
He Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then subconsciously shook his head and said, "No, is it possible that besides Lu Bu, there are other powerful generals?"
At this moment, He Jin seemed to realize that something was wrong, and looked at Shi Daoren with a bit of astonishment in his eyes: "Didn't it mean, Master, that you have met other strong men?"
When He Jin thought about it, Shi Dao Ren might encounter Lu Bu if he was unlucky. As for the other generals, not only Shi Dao Ren looked down on them, but He Jin also didn't take them seriously.
It's good now. According to Shi Daoren, in addition to Lu Bu, there are actually strong men who can serve under Chu Yi.
Shi Daoren did not think that He Jin was lying to him. After all, He Jin wanted Chu Yi to be killed more than anyone else. It was impossible for him to lie about such important information.
Therefore, the strong man who defeated him and claimed to be Huang Zhong must not have been exposed. Otherwise, there would definitely be no information about Huang Zhong.
Hearing the story of how Shi Daoren told him about the assassination of Chu Yi, He Jin had a look of astonishment on his face. He slapped his hand on the table and said: "Damn Lu Bu, God damn Huang Zhong, such people.
He has no sense of shame and is loyal to an eunuch. He deserves to be killed, he really deserves to be killed."
Shi Daoren slowly shook his head and said: "If Chu Yi takes Huang Zhong with him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Pindao to assassinate Chu Yi!"
Shi Daoren has always been confident and helped He Jin eliminate so many opponents. This was the first time he was so unconfident. So when He Jin heard what Shi Daoren said, his subconscious reaction was to look at Shi Daoren in disbelief.
: "Taoist priest, are you really unable to assassinate Chu Yi?"
Shi Daoren smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "If Pindao hadn't fought so hard, I'm afraid he would have been killed by Huang Zhong by now. If Pindao had taken action again, I'm afraid he would have been gone forever!"
Hearing what Shi Daoren said, He Jin's expression turned gloomy. He was not angry with Shi Daoren, but felt very aggrieved. He did not expect that it would be so difficult to get rid of Chu Yi.
After calming down the anger in his heart, He Jin asked Shi Daoren to go down and rest. He stayed in the study for more than an hour before walking out of the study.
Soon Yuan Shao, Xu You and several other confidants of He Jin were invited into the general's mansion.
Yuan Shao seems to be very low-key among the Eight Schools of Xiyuan these days. Even Chun Yuqiong, Xia Mou and others seemed to be suppressed by the force of Lu Bu under Chu Yi, and they all behaved honestly and did not show any signs of attack at all.
Give Chu Yi a chance to take advantage of them.
Suddenly receiving the news from He Jin, Yuan Shao wondered in his mind what He Jin had summoned them for.
After the people summoned by He Jin arrived, He Jin said on the spot: "Shi Dao Ren's attempt to assassinate Chu Yi failed!"
Yuan Shao and Xu You were slightly startled. Xu You, who was stroking his beard, said, "Could it be that Lu Bu was accompanying him, and Shi Dao was defeated by Lu Bu, so the interception failed?"
Yuan Shao shook his head subconsciously and said, "No, if I remember correctly, Lu Bu did not accompany Chu Yi back to Beijing in the army today."
Xu You glanced at Yuan Shao and asked doubtfully: "In this case, could it be said that there was someone else who saved Chu Yi?"
Several people all looked at He Jin, and He Jin nodded and said: "Shi Daoren said that a fierce general named Huang Zhong rescued Chu Yi. Even Shi Daoren bluntly said that he was not Huang Zhong's opponent. If not,
If he had escaped in time, he might not have been able to come back."
Yuan Shao couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this: "Huang Zhong? It's him!"
He Jin couldn't help but look at Yuan Shao and said, "Did Benchu know about Huang Zhong?"
Yuan Shao smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that Huang Zhong is just a low-level general recruited by Chu Yi from Nanyang. However, he was promoted by Chu Yi to the rank of captain in the army in a short period of time, and he became even more popular in the army."
It’s to train military horses for Chu Yi!”
He Jin couldn't help but stare at Yuan Shao when he heard this and said: "For such an important person, you didn't tell me about this, this general."
Yuan Shao looked aggrieved and said: "How did Yuan know that Huang Zhong would have such force?"
When Huang Zhong fought with Lu Bu, although many soldiers saw it, the informants sent by Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong were used by Chu Yi to tamper with some of their memories. Therefore, Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and others did not know about Huang Zhong at all.
What is Zhong's true strength?
First there was Lu Bu, and then there was Huang Zhong. It seemed that there was no hope of assassinating Chu Yi.
He Jin looked at the people and said: "Your Majesty has recently passed Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others to spread the news in the court to establish Prince Xie as the crown prince. I am afraid that it won't be long before your Majesty is going to test the reaction of the courtiers."
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in He Jin's eyes and he said: "Once the prince association becomes the crown prince, we will all be liquidated. Even if we escape now, I am afraid that we will not be able to escape the new king's liquidation in the future."
Because of He Jin's status, he was naturally branded as a prince. Whenever a prince ascends the throne, he will not tolerate a relative like He Jin taking power and threatening him. Even if it is the best outcome, I am afraid he will die.
.
As for Xu You, Yuan Shao and others, they are naturally regarded as joining the party. Even if they die by chance, they may not have any future in their official careers.
Xu You stroked his beard and said slowly: "The only plan for now is to strike first to be stronger. The general must know that he must continue to make decisive moves, otherwise he will suffer chaos!"
He Jin and others knew very well that Xu You meant regicide, but once such things were exposed, the family would be confiscated and the clan exterminated. Even He Jin hesitated for a while.
Yuan Shao was sitting there with a solemn look on his face. He Jin noticed Yuan Shao's expression and couldn't help but look at Yuan Shao and said: "Benchu, do you have any suggestions?"
"ah!"
Yuan Shao, who came to his senses, shook his head and said: "This matter is of great importance. General, please think twice before taking action!"
He Jin waved his hand and motioned for the others to leave.
Early the next morning, He Jin's carriage appeared outside the palace gate. Seeing He Jin, Xiao Huangmen naturally did not dare to delay at all and entered the palace immediately.
In the imperial garden, Liu Hong, who was weak in energy and blood, was sitting quietly fishing in a pool of lake accompanied by Zhang Rang. This was what he saw when He Jin came over.
Zhang Rang noticed He Jin, with a smile on his face and said to He Jin: "The general is here!"
He Jin stepped forward and saluted Liu Hong, while Liu Hong glanced at He Jin and said: "The general is not in the government office to deal with military affairs, how come you have time to see me? Could it be that all those yellow turban thieves have been strangled?
?”
How could He Jin not hear the sarcasm in Liu Hong's words? But as a result, He Jin became more and more anxious. You must know that although Liu Hong said he disliked him in the past, he would never be like this.
Directly expressing the dislike in his heart made He Jin feel a great sense of crisis.
He Jin took a deep breath and sat down next to Liu Hong and said: "Your Majesty, I am here to report something important to your Majesty."
Liu Hong's attention seemed to be on the fishing rod in his hand, and he said calmly: "If you have anything to do, just ask."
He Jin said seriously: "Your Majesty, please elect an emperor as soon as possible to consolidate the foundation of the country!"
He Jin's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in Liu Hong's ears. Even the fishing rod in his hand couldn't help shaking violently, and the fish that were about to swallow the bait were frightened away.
"What?"
With a low cry, Liu Hong turned his head instantly and looked at He Jin.
He Jin looked at Liu Hong calmly and said with great certainty: "The prince has both moral integrity and talent, so he is the best candidate for the crown prince. If your majesty can appoint the crown prince as soon as possible, he will definitely be able to stabilize the imperial court and make all people in the world feel happy."
There is something to be desired…”
Seeing He Jin's natural look, Liu Hong's anger suddenly rose. In the blink of an eye, his originally pale face turned red, his breath became short, and he shouted in a deep voice: "That's enough, the matter of choosing the prince.
I have made my own decision, General, just do your duty!"
While speaking, Liu Hong said to Zhang Yi, who was hanging his head aside: "Father, please send the general back!"
Even a fool could see that Liu Hong was angry at this moment. Zhang Rang smiled bitterly at He Jin and said: "General, don't embarrass me, please!"
He Jin stood up slowly, straightened his clothes, and saluted Liu Hong: "As the saying goes, loyal words are harsh to the ears, but I still want to say, please choose the prince to be the crown prince, otherwise the people in the court will be unrest, and the world will be uneasy..."
"Get out of the palace!"
Liu Hong shouted angrily and watched He Jin leave. When He Jin's figure disappeared from sight, his body swayed involuntarily, a mouthful of blood spurted out with a loud sound, and his body suddenly fell to the ground softly.
However, several Xiaohuangmen were frightened and hurriedly rushed forward, carrying Liu Hong to the palace with all their hands and feet. Soon after receiving the news, several of the ten permanent attendants rushed to Liu Hong's palace.
When an imperial doctor carefully exited the palace, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Jian Shuo entered the palace. At the same time, a pungent smell of Chinese medicine came, and they also saw half-lying on the bed.
Above, Liu Hong is in an extremely depressed state of mind.
Liu Hong had woken up at this time, but his body was obviously injured because of He Jin. His breath was weak and he was half leaning on the bed. At this moment, he saw Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Jian Shuo approaching with a flash in his eyes.
A bright light passed by and said: "Why is this thief so ambitious that he wants to persecute me? Are you willing to get rid of this thief for me?"
Several people were stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but feel panic in their hearts. Although the emperor disliked the increasingly powerful He Jin, they never expected that Liu Hong would have such a strong murderous intention.
Several people looked at each other, Zhang Rang coughed lightly and walked closer and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't hurt the dragon's body."
Liu Hong glanced at Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, and finally looked at Jian Shuo and said: "Jian Shuo, please tell me how to get rid of the He Jin party."
If it were He Jin alone, it would only be a matter of one sentence. Even if Liu Hong was willing, He Jin would never leave the palace with just one order.
However, He Jin is not alone. Over the years, a considerable number of people have gathered around He Jin, who are the leaders of a party. Even the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, the most elite of the Han Dynasty, is in the hands of He Jin. If
If he wants to deal with He Jin, once he is defeated, unpredictable consequences will inevitably occur. Therefore, what Liu Hong wants to remove is not He Jin alone, but a large number of civil and military officials with He Jin as the core.
Jian Shuo looked at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, but the two of them lowered their heads as if they had not heard anything. While cursing secretly in his heart, Jian Shuo's mind turned and he said to Liu Hong: "Return to your Majesty,
This matter is of great importance, especially since He Jin has gathered a large number of important civil and military ministers in the court around him, so he must not act rashly, so I suggest that your Majesty take a long-term approach..."
When Liu Hong heard this, he suddenly became angry and almost fainted again. He patted the bed and shouted: "Let's think about it long term. Think about it long term. His wolfish ambitions have been exposed. I'm afraid it won't be long before he unites with the whole court to force me to appoint a prince. You want me to
How to plan for the long term!”
Duan Gui gritted his teeth and said: "If your Majesty had not invited him to enter the palace, then we would swarm up and kill him..."
