A few days later, Gu Daoxin, who had moved to the newly built "Ancient Mansion", received news from Qianyu Tower.

At that time, he had just finished dinner with Lu Zhen, and after thinking about digesting it for a while, he went to the martial arts arena of the palace to practice a few tricks, but before he even left, the news from Qianyu Tower came over.A dart used to support letterheads was stuck on a wooden post in the room.

Gu Daoxin felt that it was necessary to make a suggestion to Qianyulou next time. Don’t use this method when sending messages in the future. There will be traces on the pillars. Traces can also easily cause misunderstandings.Besides, this is still a new house for him, I feel so distressed!

But Lu Zhen's reaction was even cuter. When he heard movement outside, his subconscious action was to block Gu Daoxin behind him with one hand.Even now, Lu Zhen still hangs a saber on his body every day, just to protect Gu Daoxin conveniently, who makes it inconvenient to carry a spear!

Gu Daoxin opened the letterhead and looked at the content inside, his face became very complicated, and his eyebrows frowned.

"what happened?"

Lu Zhen looked at Gu Daoxin with a bad face, but he couldn't think of anything. After all, no one from Qianyulou should have arrived in Chen Kingdom in these few days, so it shouldn't be that the mission failed.

Gu Daoxin handed the letter to Lu Zhen, and Lu Zhen looked dignified after reading it.

"Li Hui is dead?"

"The news from Qianyulou should be correct." Gu Dao gritted his teeth, "It's just too coincidental. I just wanted to kill Li Hui a few days ago, and now there's news that he's dead. Could it be from Chen Kingdom? Is there internal strife? Or did Li Hui offend some great person in Chen Kingdom? But now that he is surrounded by Yuan Li, he should not be killed just like that."

Lu Zhen held up the letter to the candle and burned it, "Does anyone else know about you and Li Hui?"

"I just told Su Fang a few days ago, but I also said that I have already hired someone from Qianyulou, he can't possibly interfere, and even if he wants to give me a surprise and help me get rid of Li Hui, It can't be so fast!"

Although Li Hui is dead, they have achieved their goal, but it doesn't feel good to feel that this kind of thing is out of control, or it doesn't feel good to be preempted by others. It seems that there is another force that they don't know about. in.

Although things are a bit weird, Gu Daoxin still feels that this matter should be a problem in Chen's country and has little to do with him. He knows that Li Hui has only been in this world for a few days. Dayan ran to Chen Country, and then killed Li Hui.

Maybe it's because Yuan Li's throne has not been firmly established, and there are still people who oppose him, so he wants to get rid of Li Hui while he is not in Chen Kingdom.But Yuan Li's other confidantes are already deeply rooted in Chen Kingdom after all, so they are not so easy to deal with.

Gu Daoxin told Lu Zhen his opinion, and Lu Zhen also felt that this was the only reasonable explanation at present.

On the other end, Yuan Li, who was supposed to be on his way back home, did not leave in a hurry.His purpose of coming to Dayan was to take away Gu Daoxin and complete the final configuration of the gunpowder, but now that Gu Daoxin couldn't be taken away, he was unwilling to leave like this, so he let Jian Zong kidnap the people in Yaoguang Pavilion, Jin There are more than a dozen people who work in the sparrow restaurant and the health building at Dian Zhai. These people are also relatively old, and they are small managers in each store. Yuan Li thinks that maybe they can know something.

In an abandoned cabin on the outskirts of the city, these dozen or so people were tied up and sat on the ground, being interrogated by Yuan Li.

The first person to be interrogated by Yuan Li was a middle-aged man, who seemed to be the calmest among them.

Yuan Li's face was expressionless, his eyes were as cold as ice, "I'll say it one last time, tell me everything you know about Gu Dao Xin!"

The middle-aged man's neck stiffened, "We don't know about the boss, and even if we knew, we wouldn't tell you!"

The man took the lead, and the others who were tied up began to choke.

"We don't know anything!"

"I know and I won't tell you!"

"Don't try to harm our boss!"

……

Yuan Li raised his eyes slowly, without wasting any more words with the man, he pulled out the sword at his waist, a cold light flashed across, and the man's head was in a different place.

The bloody scene in front of them stunned the others, Yuan Li looked down at them, the sword in his hand was still dripping blood.

"This is your last chance."

Everyone's eyes were red, and they all gritted their teeth. Although they didn't choke any more, their attitudes were obvious. They would never betray Gu Daoxin.They really don't know much about Gu Daoxin, they are just small stewards in their respective stores, all they know is the business in the store, and they really don't know about other things.

But as the middle-aged man said just now, even if they knew, they wouldn't say it.The boss is very kind to them. Many of them were so poor that they couldn't even eat a bowl of hot rice, and their wives and children also suffered along with them.They can have a happy life now, they can become a person who can accomplish something, they can live a life with hope, and their children can go to private schools, all because of their boss.They are determined not to betray.And they also know that if they all die here today, the boss will definitely treat their families well.

Facts have proved that Gu Daoxin has a very vicious vision when selecting candidates. He and Lu Zhen personally check and select these candidates, and none of them is a seller seeking to survive.

Yuan Li didn't expect that even small managers would not be afraid of death.He originally wanted Jian Zong to kidnap Gu Daoxin's righteous brother and righteous sister, but they were surrounded by many experts to protect them, so they might startle them, so he picked these little stewards to start.This Gu Dao Xin is indeed not an ordinary person, such an ability to win people's hearts is really rare.

Since there was no need to continue the interrogation, Yuan Li gave them pleasure and killed them all with a single blow.

Jian Zong, who came back from outside to inquire about the situation, smelled the pungent smell of blood outside the door. When he opened the door and came in, he stepped on a pool of blood, and the soles of his shoes were instantly stained red.

Jian Zong turned pale and tensed, "Your Majesty, they are all innocent people, even if they refuse to confess..."

"I know." Yuan Li took out a sweat towel and wiped the blood off the sword, "But they have seen you and me, if they put it back and let Gu Daoxin and Lu Zhen know, it will be bad for you and me. Maybe they will send troops Chase."

"But……"

Jian Zong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yuan Li pressing his shoulder, "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Jian Zong, do you remember what we said when we were young? We should never be bullied again, and we must have the supremacy." The right to be the lord of the world! Since ancient times, once a general is successful, these dozens of lives are regarded as paving the way for us."

Jian Zong shook his head, "Your Majesty also said that you want a politically clear court and a better Chen Kingdom. You want to work for the well-being of the people of the world, so that they will never suffer from wars and chaos and enjoy your benevolent government. but now……"

"If you want a world of clean seas and rivers, you must first unify the world!" Yuan Li sternly interrupted Jian Zong, "Only by unifying the world can the world be governed in the way we want, and the people of the world can live a happy life." The life we ​​want them to live. On this road, anyone who stands in the way must be eliminated! Jian Zong, when I sent you to Mr. Yin Yang to let you learn kung fu, it was to assist me, not Sing against me. The person I am closest to in this world is you, and the person I trust the most is you, so don’t let me down.”

Jian Zong felt a heavy weight on his shoulders in an instant. No, maybe on the day he returned to Chen Kingdom from the king, he planned to kill his elder brother, clean up all the courtiers who supported him to go to Dayan as a hostage, and decided to use Shang Jing He suggested that starting with the governance of the government with severe punishments and punishments, everything changed.

Jian Zong felt that the high-spirited young man who once went up to the mountains and leaned against the cliffs, and vowed to the endless sea of ​​clouds to bring peace and stability to the country and benefit the people, has disappeared forever in his memory.

Yuan Li withdrew his sword, "How is the situation outside?"

"No pursuers were found."

"Lu Zhen really said one thing, but we still have to leave Dayan quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Then do you still need to tell Shang Jing?"

"No need, Shang Jing's mission is almost over, the last step is completed, and he is not in vain as Emperor Chen's teacher, and I will follow him up later."

Jian Zong raised his eyes, "Chasing the seal?"

"That's right, there are people around Shang Jing that I have arranged in advance. Just wait until the day before the mission leaves Beijing, he will get rid of Shang Jing. The most important mission of this mission will be successfully completed."

Jian Zong's voice was hoarse and stiff, "Why? He... is the king's teacher."

"It's just a teacher in name. He didn't really teach me anything. This is just a deal. He helped me stabilize the throne, and I gave him the respect of the emperor. The emperor of Chen died in the territory of Dayan. We There is a reason to go to war. Now that Gu Daoxin can’t be taken away, and let him know that we already have gunpowder, we must strike first before he makes perfect gunpowder, otherwise our only advantage will be gone.”

"With... Shang Jing's life, in exchange for a reason to go to war?"

"This is what his mission is, and this mission was originally for this."

"he knows?"

"Of course I don't know. If he knew, why would he take the initiative to ask for Ying? I don't need to put people around him. Shang Jing is not as loyal to the emperor and patriotic as you think. He only values ​​his own reputation and only considers his own success or failure when doing things. You should have seen it from the time when he was a military adviser. This time he just wanted to win a round in front of his former opponent, King Zhennan. Unfortunately, he couldn't realize this wish until he died. But when we defeat the big After Yan, I will use the head of King Zhennan to pay homage to him, as a little compensation."

Jian Zong clenched his teeth, and the hand holding the long sword was bruised.Is this... the person he swore allegiance to for the rest of his life?
