Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

It is said that this sword can make hair and sharp edges disappear, and the iron blade is like clay. It is unparalleled in the world. And then there is a legend that when this sword was forged, light penetrated the sky, the sun and the moon shined, and the stars warded off the anger. , ghosts and gods wail.

King Yun of Yue got these five swords and couldn't help being extremely happy and regarded them as treasures. Then King Zhufan of Wu heard the news and became crazy about swords, so he came to Yue to ask for them.

King Yun of Yue was often afraid of the power of Wu, so he had to offer three swords: Zhanlu, Shengxie, and Yuchang.

Victory over evil became the sword passed down from generation to generation by the kings of Wu. Yuchang was given to Wu Zixu by Helu as the mastermind and planner because King Helu of Wu sent Zhuanzhu to assassinate King Liao with the fishchang sword. Only Zhanlu was accidentally lost that year. After entering the water, he was captured by the king of Chu. When the king of Qin heard the news, he asked for it but couldn't get it. He raised an army to attack Chu, but the king of Chu never responded.

Now that Chu and Yue have established diplomatic relations, the King of Chu has returned the Zhanlu property to its original owner. This seems normal, but there are two doubts.

If the King of Chu wanted to return the sword to Yue, he only had to return it in the main hall of the palace. There was no need to go to all the trouble and made an appointment to meet in the sword hiding room.What's more, in order to get the Zhanlu Sword, the King of Qin even went to war with the Chu State. In that case, the King of Chu refused to give it to him. Isn't it ridiculous to return the sword to Yue so easily now?

Luo Qi did not expose the messenger and still followed him obediently.

They turned around several palace gates, and then were stopped in front of a palace gate. Cai Er, fully armed, was guarding the door and said coldly: "The King of Chu has an order to only invite His Royal Highness the Prince of Yue. Other unrelated people are waiting. , entry is strictly prohibited.”

Luo Qi retreated slightly and said with a smile: "I thought there were only two flaws, but it turns out there is a third one."

Cai Er raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did Prince Yue say this?"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "My subordinate Han Yue killed your nephew Cai Cheng, and I am even more tit for tat with your Cai clan. If King Chu hadn't had his head caught in the door, why would he have sent you to greet me?"

Cai Er narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I only realized it now. Don't you think it's too late?"

He gave the order, and dozens of soldiers holding long swords and wearing heavy armor immediately appeared, surrounding them.

Cai Er said coldly: "I have known for a long time that your two guards are powerful, so I ordered the soldiers to wear heavy armor, and the terrain here is narrow. I don't believe they can do it. Now you only have a dead end, so you should be beheaded!" "

Luo Qi smiled and said: "A public assassination in the palace, are you not afraid that the King of Chu will implicate the nine clans?"

Cai Er sneered: "After you die, I can immediately flee to the Northern Wei Dynasty. By then I will be the minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and you will only be a corpse!"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "Do you really think you can escape?"

Cai Er squinted his eyes and said: "We have already prepared a detailed escape plan. We can escape before the King of Chu reacts. Then the King of Chu will have to face the anger of the Yue soldiers and civilians. He is busy cleaning up the mess, how can he still return? Will there be time to hunt me down?”

Luo Qi nodded and said: "No wonder you tried your best to stop the Chu-Vietnam alliance and didn't let the King of Chu save Wu. It turns out it's not because of past hatred, but because you have found a new master."

Cai Er snorted coldly: "It is precisely because of the irrevocable hatred between me and the Wu State that I do this. Twenty years ago, the Wu State almost wiped out the blood of my Cai family. This hatred is irreconcilable, but I have long since Knowing that the King of Chu is bent on saving Wu and thinks that the horns will be used against the Northern Wei Dynasty, I can only make this decision and vow to destroy the Kingdom of Wu!"

Luo Qi smiled coldly and said: "It is obviously for glory and wealth, but he can find such a high-sounding excuse. General Cai's ability is indeed extraordinary."

Cai Er sneered and said: "I didn't expect that your death is imminent, so you have a lot of nonsense!"

Luo Qi smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows and said: "It's a pity that your plot has been discovered by the King of Chu. Becoming the Shangqing of the Northern Wei Dynasty is just a sweet dream. It will not be me who will die here today, but you, a clown."

Cai Er sneered, waved his right hand, and said: "Get it for me!"

He gave the order, and the soldiers moved quickly, but they did not attack Luo Qi and the others. Instead, they turned their guns together and surrounded Cai Er.

Cai Er was startled and said angrily: "You are such brave dogs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw King Chu coming from the other side of the palace gate, accompanied by many guards. He was looking at him with anger and scolded: "You are such a courageous dog!"

Cai Er was startled and said in a daze: "Your Majesty..."

King Chu came closer and sneered: "Since you want to be the minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty so much, would you like me to give you a ride personally?"

Cai Er stepped back and said in panic: "How is this possible? How could you see through it?"

Luo Qi smiled and said: "I have already analyzed this matter to King Chu. The mastermind behind my assassination must be your Cai family. King Chu agrees with my inference, but there is no evidence in hand. And with your little The Cai family was able to organize such a rigorous assassination, and there is obviously someone behind it. Considering your strong opposition to sending troops to rescue Wu, the answer has already surfaced..."

When Cai Er heard this, his face turned pale.

The King of Chu snorted coldly: "When Prince Yue mentioned this to me, I was still dubious, and I hoped that you were just blinded by personal hatred. I didn't expect that you would let me down so much!"

Luo Qi shrugged and said: "I thought your final attack would be a more exciting method, so I specially brought Han Yue and Fan Kuai to escort you. I didn't expect your strategy to be so simple and completely within the control of King Chu."

Cai Er swayed, and then retreated slumped, lying low on the ground, crying: "I am just confused for a moment. If the king wants to kill me, I will have no complaints, but please let my Cai family go. They actually have no idea about this..."

The King of Chu said solemnly: "If this is the case, I'm afraid it's too late now. Your Cai family has been under my strict surveillance for a long time, and they started packing their bags an hour ago and wanted to escape from our Chu country. Now they are all gone." They are being taken to death row, waiting for you to accompany them!"

Cai Er suddenly fainted and fell to the ground as if he was struck by thunder.

Luo Qi looked at his reaction coldly, with a cruel smile on his lips.

He had already calculated this.

The King of Chu ordered Cai Er to be dragged down, and at the same time he sighed: "I thought the Cai family was loyal, but I didn't expect them to make me feel so chilled. The methods of the Northern Wei generals are indeed not simple. They have penetrated into my ministers of Chu. I want to To provoke us to fight against each other so that they can benefit."

Luo Qi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "If I really die here, Chu and Yue will definitely go to war. I am concerned about the safety of both countries. My life is really precious."

The King of Chu smiled and said: "The prince of Yue is safe and sound. This is a great blessing to the two countries of Chu and Yue!"

Luo Qi turned sideways and looked at Han Yue: "I am able to stand here talking and laughing now. This is all due to Han Yue. If she hadn't repelled the enemy assassins twice, I would have been dead by now."
