033

When Guo Kai came to buy rice cakes at Lu's restaurant today, he heard a secret.

He went out with the rice cakes, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Mrs. Meng Kai talking privately with Meng Yi, the chief guard of Gong Zizheng.

Between the two words, there was worry on their faces, and their voices were deliberately lowered.

"Are you here?" Mrs. Meng Wei asked.

"Ah."

Meng Yi replied: "The swordsman Madam mentioned lived in Yuci. I searched for a long time, and finally found Handan. Sigh..."

Mrs. Meng Kai also lowered her eyes: "I don't know if meeting the legendary swordsman can make Mr. Zheng feel better."

Meng Yi nodded: "Young master has always been sensible, he will understand."

Legendary swordsman?Gong Zizheng?

Guo Kai's ears couldn't help but prick up.

For children aged eleven or twelve, the legendary swordsman is no less attractive than the delicious rice cakes in their hands.And listening to what Mrs. Meng Kai said...

Guo Kai is not a fool, if he is stupid, he will not become the number one treacherous official in the future.

Xiao Wandan turned his mind around and suddenly understood the general idea.

I have long heard that Gong Zizheng and Gong Zidan had a conflict recently, and the two of them stopped talking.He must have been unhappy because of this, and was secretly playing with his temper. That's why Mrs. Meng Kai wanted to find some legendary swordsman to make Gong Zizheng happy.

snort!Guo Kai was a little unconvinced immediately.

How can the legendary swordsman of Zhao State make the proton of Qin State foresight?

He and Gongzi Yan haven't met yet!

Guo Kai immediately made up his mind: he will go and tell Gong Ziyan, asking him to invite the swordsman from Yuci first, so as to embarrass Gong Zizheng!

Thinking of this, Guo Kai turned around and ran away.

He didn't see it, and left by himself, Zhao Weizhen and Meng Yi stopped discussing immediately.

Meng Yi touched his nose in embarrassment: "Ma'am... this, isn't this bullying children?"

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help laughing: "You wipe off your sweat first."

I just asked him to accompany me to perform in a play, but Meng Yi was embarrassed.The handsome young man was blushing with embarrassment, luckily Guo Kai didn't see it.

"You haven't reached the crown yet, aren't you still a child?" Zhao Weizhen said with a smile: "Besides, it doesn't matter if the child is a child or not, as long as it is useful."

Meng Yi: "Then using Ge Nie like this..."

Hearing the word "Gai Nie", Zhao Weizhen felt ashamed.

Lu Buwei just wrote in the letter that he was going to Yuci to look for someone, but he didn't say who he was looking for.

As a result, Wei Xing went to Yuci and told Zhao Weizhen that what Lu Buwei was looking for was a legendary swordsman, Gai Nie whose name was recorded in "Historical Records: Biography of Assassins"!

Zhao Weizhen understood what Lu Buwei meant: he hoped that she could do some work and recommend Gai Nie to Zhao Yan. After Zhao Yan became murderous towards Chunpinghou, he asked Gai Nie to go to Xianyang to assassinate Chunpinghou.

But this is too much trouble.

First of all, that brat Zhao Yan has a very bad temper, and his vision is higher than the sky.And rangers are often happy to be kind and angry, and he may not be able to win Ge Nie's favor.

Secondly, right now the conflict between him and Marquis Chunping has not been so intense that he wants to hire an assassin.If you want to go this way, you have to further provoke the relationship between the two.

No need to be so troublesome.

Zhao Yan and Mr. Yuan do not like each other now, so...

After a little thought, Zhao Weizhen decided to slightly modify Lu Buwei's plan.

"It doesn't matter." She said, "It's not like we are going to invite rangers to assassinate Marquis Chunping, no matter what we can't be found out."

Meng Yi: "Then madam, what should we do next?"

Zhao Weizhen: "Mr. Gai Nie will arrive at the post in three days, right?"

Meng Yi: "Yes."

Zhao Weizhen raised the corner of his mouth: "Then just wait, Mr. Pingyuan will know about it."

…………

……

Three days later, Handan Posthouse.

Mr. Pingyuan's face was as black as the bottom of a burnt pot. He led a few soldiers into the post house aggressively, but was stopped by someone head-on.

"Your Majesty, there are distinguished guests in the post house, so they can't enter for the time being." The visitor said.

"..."

Mr. Pingyuan really took several deep breaths in a row to suppress the rising fire pressure.

In Handan, who doesn't know that Lord Pingyuan's prestige is second only to King Zhao?

Now that he came to a mere post house, he was even stopped.And the one who stopped Mr. Pingyuan was clearly the housekeeper of Zhao Yan's mansion!

Mr. Pingyuan gritted his teeth: "There is a distinguished guest in Handan, why didn't I know?"

Butler: "This..."

Mr. Pingyuan didn't bother to argue with the servants, he raised his hand, and the roar shook the post house three times: "Okay, there are distinguished guests, I won't go in—come on, let me get Mr. Yan out of the post house!" Drag it out!"

How courageous you are, dare to speak against the ranger? !

Young Master Yan invited a Ranger Assassin to Handan with great fanfare. Such news reached Pingyuan Jun's ears, and he almost didn't get angry with the elderly Pingyuan Jun on the spot.

——You, Mr. Zhao, what does it mean to invite a knight-errant assassin to Handan?

Mr. Pingyuan became more and more angry as he thought about it.

Especially Zhao Yan and the crown prince Chunping Hou have never been very good at dealing with each other. Now that the crown prince is away, it is inevitable that people will think too much when Zhao Yan invites an assassin to come to his door.

The point is, if you please please, if you still beat gongs and drums, is it because you are afraid that others will not know if it will work?

As soon as this incident happened, there were too many letters from Zhao Tingnei to accuse Zhao Yan of being black.

Some say that the son is a dude, and the mud can't stick to the wall; some say that he is vicious by nature, and he doesn't know who he wants to ask the ranger to do harm to.

Even more emotionally exposed ministers and workers simply knelt at the door of Mr. Pingyuan's house, crying and shouting that Gong Ziyan wanted to assassinate Chunpinghou.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Yan was noisy when he was framed by several soldiers, which annoyed Mr. Pingyuan even more.

"Let go of me! Let go of me!"

Zhao Yan couldn't stop struggling, and shouted at the top of his voice, with no demeanor: "I am Mr. Zhao, and you treat me like this, I will cut off your heads!"

The blue veins on Mr. Pingyuan's forehead popped up: "You bastard, shut up!"

Zhao Yan was taken aback for a moment, looking up in disbelief.

Seeing Mr. Pingyuan's face burning with anger, Zhao Yan secretly said in his heart that he was finished.

Panicked, he lost even the last courtesy, and asked boldly, "What's wrong with me?"

"What happened to you?"

Mr. Pingyuan was almost laughed at by him.

He threw the bamboo slips in his hand on Zhao Yan's head: "Look for yourself!"

Zhao Yan, who was hit on the head by Lord Pingyuan for the second time, staggered a few steps from the ground in a disorderly manner.The bamboo slip fell on the threshold and spread out by itself, and the content on it fell into view.

This is a letter addressed to King Zhao, accusing him of being black!

The letter said that Zhao Yan was vicious by nature and a dandy, jealous of Chunpinghou's virtue and wisdom, so he wanted to hire assassins to Xianyang to assassinate Chunpinghou.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan's pupils shrank suddenly.

"I……"

He was stunned. He never thought that he just wanted to invite a legendary swordsman to dinner, and he wanted to be majestic, and he could pass it like this.

"I didn't." Zhao Yan hurriedly argued: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of assassinating Marquis Chunping!"

"nonsense!"

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Mr. Pingyuan was even angrier than before: "If you have one, can I still talk to you here?"

Anger is anger, and he also knows that Zhao Yan does not have such ambition and ability.

"How can you be so ridiculous?"

Mr. Pingyuan is a man who hates iron but not steel: "I don't ask you to be talented and virtuous, and I don't ask you to be a minister of the country. You are the son of Zhao, can't you do it without causing trouble?! Your father The king doesn't care about you, I definitely can't let you be so confused!"

Zhao Yan resented and dared not speak any more.

"From today onwards, you are not allowed to leave the mansion without my permission." Lord Pingyuan announced.

"Varied--"

"Still want to rap?"

Lord Pingyuan interrupted Zhao Yan sharply, pointing at him and cursing: "Why did you send the prince as a hostage at that time? If you continue to mess around, I will ask the king to send you to Xianyang and bring the prince back!"

When Zhao Yan heard this, his face changed drastically.

Just hate him to this extent?Want to throw him into a tiger and wolf den like Qin?

He knew that he was not as good as the prince, but comparing everything and comparing things back and forth, Zhao Yan had a backlog of tens of thousands of grievances in his heart.

Now there are still people complaining that he wants to assassinate Marquis Chunping and send him to Qin?

Is he, Zhao Yan, so unbearable in the hearts of these courtiers?

Zhao Yan didn't listen to a word of Mr. Pingyuan's lecture.

Only after Mr. Pingyuan left with a shake of his face did the housekeeper dare to help Zhao Yan up.

"Go and bring all the most expensive treasures from my house." Zhao Yan said with a cold face: "Isn't everyone afraid that I will feel uncomfortable looking for the crown prince? That's what they wish."

The butler was shocked: "My lord, do you want to..."

Of course Zhao Yan would not be so stupid as to send an assassin to kill Chunpinghou.

If you don't kill him, if you make him feel uncomfortable, nothing will happen.

"Send someone to send the treasure to the envoy of the Qin State, and ask him to withhold the crown prince's half-year salary." He said with a gloomy face, "I want to see what the crown prince, whom everyone treasures, eats in Xianyang."

…………

……

One month later, Xianyang, Lü Mansion.

Wei Sheng entered the door out of breath, went straight to the main room, and found Lu Buwei.

"Master." Wei Sheng said, "The caravan from Handan has received news."

"What?" Lu Buwei looked up.

"Young Master Yan has made a move."

After finishing speaking, Wei Sheng attached himself to Lu Buwei's ear, and whispered the detailed news he had brought to Lu Buwei.

Hearing this, Lu Buwei slightly paused the hand holding the bamboo slips.

This……

His white and slender fingers released directly, and the bamboo slips fell on the long case.A slight confusion appeared on Lu Buwei Qingjun's face.

"Why did Gongzi Yan bribe the envoys stationed in Qin Dynasty with a lot of money?" Wei Sheng asked, "Is this different from what was planned?"

It's really not the same.

He thought for a while and asked Wei Sheng: "Did the caravan bring any news about Madam?"

Wei Sheng nodded desperately: "I brought it, master, how did you know?!"

Lu Buwei: "What did she say?"

Wei Sheng: "Madam said that it is better to kill with words than to kill with a knife."

Lu Buwei: "..."

He tilted his head, and quickly went through his plan, the plan that Meng Kai might conceive.

A moment later, Lu Buwei raised his thin lips.

What a killer with words.

With just one sentence, Lu Buwei roughly guessed what Meng Kai did in Handan.

Lu Buwei's original plan was to ask Meng Kai to walk around Handan, let Gai Nie get acquainted with Zhao Yan, and plant a seed in his heart that can be used as an assassin.

But now Meng Kai says that he kills with words...

They didn't have to bother Zhao Yan to hire a legendary swordsman to assassinate Marquis Chunping.

As long as he met Gai Nie and the news spread in Handan, Zhao Yan would not be able to refute it clearly with "think" or "don't want".

And in the past year, Lu Buwei has already operated a lot secretly, which brought the relationship between Chunpinghou and the envoys stationed in Qin to a freezing point.

"quick."

He picked up his white robe and got up quickly: "Find some people to come over and spread the rumors that Young Master Yan is going to harm Chunpinghou in Xianyang."

Wei Sheng was taken aback: "Go now? But master, madam, she didn't say what she was going to do."

Lu Buwei was determined: "If she doesn't tell, I will understand."

Wei Sheng: "Huh?"

How do you know, the two of you can't read your mind through space?

Lu Buwei urged: "Go quickly, you must go first, if you wait for the bribe from Gongzi Yan, it will be too late."

Xianyang is thousands of miles away from Handan, but Lu Buwei felt that Meng Kai never left.

He just firmly believes that he understands the other party's thoughts, and he also firmly believes that Meng Wei's method can be achieved.
