Dare to Believe the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅲ

General Zhao pierced Yan Xi's neck with a dagger, and suddenly purple-brown blood gushed out, Zhao Zhen felt a little dazzled, how could this man bleed purple-brown blood.

General Zhao pointed to the strange blood and said, "Your Majesty, this is the proof."

"What kind of evidence is this?" Zhao Zhen asked inexplicably.

General Zhao put away the dagger, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, when I was following my master, I heard from his old man that people who have been poisoned by this kind of poison will have purple-brown blood all over their bodies, especially the back of the neck. Showed it to the emperor, which proves that Mr. Yan was poisoned, and the poison was Sichuan Gu poison. Except for the poisoner, no one can cure this poison, unless it is a master who can heal. "

Zhao Zhen walked around Yan Xi, but his eyes were still dull and dull, could it be that he was really poisoned.

"Then what should we do?" Zhao Zhen stared at Yan Xi but asked General Zhao.

After thinking for a while, General Zhao said: "At present, Lord Yan can only be locked up in a safe place temporarily. If I remember correctly, Lord Yan should be sent back by General Pang? Maybe he can know the way to detoxify."

Zhao Zhen turned his head and glanced at General Zhao, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Yan Xi was sent back by Pon Ce. He was poisoned. Pon Ce should have known about it, but he still sent him back. The purpose couldn't be more obvious. But the evidence, how to find the evidence that Pon Ce knew?This is the question that bothers him the most.

Zhao Zhen turned around, went to the desk and sat down, waved his hand and said to General Zhao: "You arrange a safe place in the palace, and send more people to protect it. And talk to the imperial physician again to see if there is anything wrong. good idea."

"Yes." General Zhao left with Yan Xi, Zhao Zhen looked at their disappearing backs and fell into deep thought.

If I hadn’t prepared early today, I’m afraid I would have died in the hands of Yan Xi. Just now his short sword was only two fingers away from my chest. If General Zhao was a little later, I would have died tonight. Now think about it I feel scared.

When Eunuch Fu saw that the emperor was in a daze, he couldn't help but took a few small steps forward, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you think General Pang knows that Master Yan has been poisoned?"

Zhao Zhen looked up at him without any expression on his face. After a long time, he stood up and said meaningfully: "What do you think?"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he walked back. Tonight will be another sleepless night.Pang Ce, you really are a good planner, but I, Zhao Zhen, are not easy to mess with. Let's see who will win in the end?

In the palace of Xingqing Mansion, Cui Mingxiang begged to see him late at night, Li Binghao was extremely dissatisfied, he looked at Cui Mingxiang's anxious face and said: "You woke me up so late, you better have a good excuse."

"Your Majesty, I really didn't mean to alarm you, it's really urgent." Cui Mingxiang was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

"Say." Li Binghao sank lazily into the seat with an indifferent attitude.

"Our assassination mission failed, and Yan Xi was arrested." Cui Mingxiang said eagerly.

Li Binghao suddenly stood up from his seat, with obvious dissatisfaction in his voice: "What did you say? Didn't you say it was foolproof?"

"The national teacher said that it is foolproof, as long as the subordinates pay more attention to controlling Yanxi's emotions and the time he is unconscious, but Bianliang is too far away from us after all, and sometimes we have more energy than energy."

"Shirk responsibility, it's because you didn't do your best, and you dare to have other reasons to justify yourself. I think you don't want your head anymore." Li Binghao walked to Cui Mingxiang's side, pointed to his head and said angrily.

"It's my subordinate's dereliction of duty." Cui Mingxiang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "I beg your majesty to spare me, this subordinate still has a way to remedy it."

"Say."

Cui Mingxiang didn't dare to raise his head, he said tremblingly: "I'll go to Bianliang for a humble job, the distance will naturally have a stronger influence on him, maybe things will work out. But although we failed this time, we still won. A handful."

"How to say?" Li Binghao looked at Cui Mingxiang, who was kneeling on the ground, wishing to stick his head to the ground, and said angrily, "Get up."

Cui Mingxiang slowly got up, looked up at Li Binghao's gloomy face, and said mysteriously: "The reason why the national teacher poisoned Yan Xi was to provoke the conflict between Zhao Zhen and Pang Ce, wasn't it?"

Only then did Li Binghao remember that before the Battle of Haoshuichuan, Zhang Yuan had indeed mentioned this plan to him. On the one hand, he had the opportunity to assassinate Zhao Zhen, and on the other hand, even if Zhao Zhen could not be assassinated, at least he could provoke the conflict between Zhao Zhen and Pang Ce. , that would also be of great benefit to their battle situation, and now it seems that this second goal has been achieved.

Cui Mingxiang saw that Li Binghao's face softened a lot, so he said again: "Although Yan Xi's assassination failed this time, the conflict between Zhao Zhen and Pang Ce must have deepened. If I go to Bianliang at this time, arrange Yan Xi Even if the assassination is unsuccessful a few times, I think Zhao Zhen's patience should be worn out, and he will definitely take action against Ponce."

Li Binghao thought to himself, this is also a good way, maybe with luck, things will be done.

"When are you going to leave?"

"Leave tonight."

"Do you want to wait until your mission is over before setting off for Dingchuan Village?" Li Binghao originally thought about setting off for Dingchuan Village in the past few days, because Zhang Yuan wrote in a letter two days ago that Qian Guo also planned to send troops to Taiyuan Mansion soon. , He thought that the two sides could not send troops sooner or later, otherwise those who send troops later will definitely take advantage of the right time, place and people. If he left early, he might have fulfilled his Liao Kingdom, but if he did not send troops late, he thought The Liao Kingdom would not agree either.

Cui Mingxiang pondered for a moment and said: "My subordinates feel that this is not a problem. Bianliang's plan should have nothing to do with your sending troops. I think Pang Ce probably wouldn't ask Zhao Zhen for reinforcements at the beginning. After all, he just passed away not long ago. , Zhao Zhen is not stupid, after what happened with Yan Xi this time, he should not increase his troops easily."

"Then you should leave as soon as possible. If you have anything to do, send me a letter so that I can arrange the following things." Li Binghao waved to Cui Mingxiang, motioning him to leave.

As soon as Cui Mingxiang left, Li Binghao thought about taking Sun Zhushu with him on this expedition. Didn't he wholeheartedly want to be a national teacher?He wants to see how powerful he is.

Gongsun Mingyue looked at the brightest star in the night sky, and it suddenly dimmed a lot. He couldn't help feeling tense. Could it be that something happened to the emperor? Could it be related to Pang Ce?Looking at Ponce's star again, it seems to be much brighter than before. What does this mean?

Qiu'er came out of the house, put a thin cloak on him, and said, "My lord, you are in poor health, so don't come out to catch the cold at this late hour."

Gongsun Mingyue turned around and gave Qiu'er a moving smile. Although Qiu'er was young, she was sometimes more careful than herself.

"I'm not that delicate." Gongsun Mingyue tightened her cape, turned and walked into the house.

Qiu'er closed the door, sat at the table with Gongsun Mingyue, and said softly, "Zhan Pei has been gone for a long time, he should have found General Pang, right?"

Gongsun Mingyue smiled slightly, with a lot of helplessness in the smile, and said: "It should be found, but Qiu'er, don't you find it strange? Why didn't Li Binghao mention the disappearance of Zhan Pei?

"Don't you know yet?"

"How come you still don't know? But he didn't say anything, and he didn't send anyone to look for it."

"I don't know that."

Gongsun Mingyue fell into deep thought. He didn't know which play Li Binghao was singing again, but this man was so rich that ordinary people couldn't guess his real thoughts at all. Now he could only pray that he would not doubt himself.

"What are you still worried about, son?"

"What I'm worried about now is that I don't know how the plan at Sun Zhuling's place is going? If his plan doesn't succeed, wouldn't we have lost all our efforts?"

Qiu'er poured a cup of hot water for Gongsun Mingyue and said, "My lord, you don't have to worry too much. I believe that Mr. Sun's plan will go smoothly, but Qiu'er really doesn't understand what Mr. Sun is doing when he goes to Qianguo and why he is doing this." Danger."

Gongsun Mingyue took a sip and put down the water glass, sighed deeply and said, "It's better not to know, after all, knowing too much will bring you more danger."

Qiu'er wanted to say something, but seeing Gongsun Mingyue's resolute face, he still swallowed what he wanted to say.

Gongsun Mingyue pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know when that Li Binghao will send troops to Dingchuan Village?"

Qiu'er stopped talking and fell into deep thought. Even when Gongsun Mingyue swiped his hand twice in front of his eyes, he didn't recover.

"Qiu'er, what's wrong with you?" Gongsun Mingyue pushed Qiu'er's arm and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, it's nothing." Qiu'er recovered from a trance, and smiled awkwardly, "I'm just a little sleepy again, so..."

Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile: "Then you go to bed first, I'll read for a while."

Qiu'er yawned and walked towards the bed, and as soon as she lay down on the bed, she purred softly.

Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help shaking his head with a smile. The young man slept well. He picked up the book of war on the table and looked that Li Binghao would definitely take him with him to attack Dingchuan Village this time, because he wanted to use this matter to spy on him.

Maybe it was because he was sleepy, maybe there was too much uncomfortable smell in the air, he felt that he was always absent-minded while reading tonight, and there seemed to be infinite troubles in his heart, so he had to put down the book, and when he heard Qiu'er's even snoring, he stood He got up and went to the door, and pushed the door open a crack.

Outside the door was still covered with silver light, the breeze blew past, he felt a little cold, Qiuer was already in single clothes, but he still felt cold in his long johns, this year’s spring didn’t feel warm at all to him, sometimes It even seemed as if there was a cold wind blowing through his body, presumably his time was approaching.
