Little emperor

Chapter 29

After King Qin woke up, he felt exhausted and lacking energy.

Thinking of Zhou Shangshu's humiliation to him earlier, King Qin's face became very embarrassed.

Seeing that he was about to get angry again, the attendant persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you can't bear it, you will make a big mess."

King Qin thought of his own plan for many years, and finally swallowed this breath.After he sits on the throne, he will cut King Wen to pieces!Divide Zhou Shangshu into five horses!

After regaining his composure, King Qin felt that something was wrong.Why would Zhou Shangshu be so angry when his people assassinated the little emperor?It stands to reason that King Wen and the others should be very happy when the little emperor died.You don't have to wait for the birthday party, you can usurp the throne now.Judging from the other party's attitude, it seems that they don't want the little emperor to have an accident now?Could it be that King Wen wanted to wait for Jiang Guo's envoys to arrive, and with Jiang Guo's support, he would have the confidence to sit on the throne?

Frowning tightly, Qin Wang felt that he was too passive now.

King Wen has half the blood of Jiang Guoren, and he must have Jiang Guo's support for daring to do things.Even if King Qin has been preparing for it for many years, his power is definitely not comparable to that of a country.

Thinking of this, King Qin began to wonder what chance he had of winning this time?Before coming to the capital, he felt that he had a [-]% chance of success.But now he is not so sure.Now, if you want to sit in that position.Either use the hands of the court to deal with King Wen first, or kill King Wen directly.

There are still ten days before the birthday banquet, and envoys from various countries are about to arrive in the capital.Jiang Guo's envoy must be arriving soon.Once the opponent joins King Wen, it will be difficult to stop them.

After much deliberation, King Qin felt that it would be more appropriate to directly eradicate King Wen.He glanced outside, lowered his voice and ordered his followers: "Pass on the king's order, and kill King Wen as quickly as possible! In addition, find a way to delay the entry of Jiang Guo's mission to Beijing."

The entourage was surprised: "His Royal Highness, please bear with it! You have planned for so many years, if you can't hold back now and directly fight with King Wen, you will definitely be exposed!"

King Qin frowned and said, "If I don't stop it, I won't have a chance to sit on the throne! Don't say too much, just follow my orders!"

The entourage looked complicated, and nodded embarrassingly.

Taking advantage of the inattention of those monitoring them, the followers spread the news.

Ever since he came to the capital, King Wen stayed in the small courtyard of the inn without going out, very honest.

Just because they have the blood of Princess Jiang Guo on their bodies.He was taught by his father since he was a child that he must keep a low profile and not stand out.Jiang Guo's detailed work has contacted Wen Wang's residence many times. When the old Wen Wang was there, he showed his attitude and would never cooperate with Jiang Guo to compete for the throne.After the old King Wen passed away, King Wen took over the title, and Jiang Guoxizuo also came to him and urged him to do something.King Wen had no ambitions at all, so he dared to do things.So he sternly rejected Jiang Guo's side.

After the death of the first emperor, the little emperor succeeded.Jiang Guo sent someone to contact King Wen again, forcing King Wen to do something.After King Wen refused, they directly sent a killer to try to kill King Wen, and then arranged for a substitute to do things instead of King Wen.Fortunately, their conspiracy was discovered by King Wen, who left Wenzhou early and ran to other places to avoid hunting.For the past six months, he has been running around, and finally managed to look forward to the little emperor's first birthday banquet.King Wen hurried to the capital, and hid in the inn after entering the capital with a high profile.

In the past few days, the sky was bright and clear, but King Wen was worried.He had a sense of uneasiness, as if danger was creeping towards him, which made him feel chills in his back from time to time.

It was another sleepless night, and King Wen tossed and turned on the couch, unable to fall asleep.He was in a complicated mood and extremely troubled.Because of his lack of cooperation, Jiang Guo was annoyed.Although he has come to the capital, King Wen still feels uneasy.Will Jiang Guohui let the secret agents lurking in the Dazhou territory do things, and then push them all on his head?Force him to usurp the throne?

The more he thought about King Wen, the more flustered he became.Jiang Guo is so shameless, it is really possible to do such a thing!Or should he report the matter to several ministers?

After thinking clearly, King Wen quickly got up and got dressed, only then did he realize that it was night and the curfew was already in place.If he went out on the street at this time, he would definitely be arrested.

King Wen shook his head and was about to lie down when suddenly he heard movement outside!

With a thump in his heart, King Wen changed his face, came to the door, and opened a crack to observe the movement outside.

Seeing this, he turned pale with fright!

Someone is fighting in the yard!There are so many bodies shaking, there are at least dozens of people!Moreover, they all seem to be masters!

"It's too bad, Jiang Guo must have sent me to kill me!" King Wen quickly found a place to hide.

Regardless of how dirty the bed was, King Wen climbed in.

Naturally, King Wen's entourage also heard the movement outside, worried about the safety of King Wen, ran out of the house, and wanted to see King Wen next door.A sword flew towards him, nearly stabbing him.

The attendant was so frightened that his legs became weak and he knelt down on the ground.

King Wen hired a group of people to protect him. After they were woken up, they came out with swords and found two factions of masters fighting in the yard.They are not in a hurry to start.

"Brother, their kung fu looks much better than ours!"

"Hush! Be quiet. Watch carefully and learn a few tricks. These are all first-class masters! Ordinary people will never encounter them in their lifetime!"

"Hey! Then I have to take a closer look! Brother, how many people did King Wen hire to protect him? Since he has hired such a powerful master, why do you still hire us? Is it to gather more people? Or is our signboard too loud? Did King Wen misunderstand?"

"Why do you talk so much! Shut up and watch the show."

It was only when King Wen's followers climbed outside the door of King Wen's house that they saw this group of people.He widened his eyes and asked them: "What are you doing here? Come on! Protect Your Highness!"

The warriors they invited are all standing here watching the show. Who are those people who are fighting the assassins?

"Aren't we protecting His Highness! Stand guard at the door, if they dare to approach, we will beat them!"

King Wen's entourage was so angry that they pointed at them in panic and anger and cursed: "A bunch of trash who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

He got up from the ground, took the opportunity to open the door and entered the house.

King Wen faintly heard the quarrel, and heard the door opening and closing, and he panicked to death.

"Your Highness, are you alright, Your Highness?"

Hearing that the person was his entourage, King Wen quickly poked his head out and responded in a low voice, "I'm fine. What's going on outside?"

When this matter was mentioned, the attendant scolded angrily: "The warriors invited by His Highness are a bunch of waste! They dare not go up! Just watch the show at the door!"

King Wen:? ? ?

"What do you mean? They didn't stop the group of assassins? So who was stopping the group of assassins?" King Wen noticed something was wrong.

The entourage replied: "This is really strange. I don't know who sent those people who blocked the assassin."

King Wen was stunned.Who is protecting him?

Could it be that before his father died, he left a group of hidden guards to protect him?

King Wen shook his head, how dare his father raise dark guards and dead soldiers.If the emperor finds out, he will definitely be punished.

King Wen came to the door with his followers, and leaned against the door to observe the movement outside.However, there was a group of people standing at the door, blocking his view, they were all warriors he had hired with money, and this group of people kept commenting on the moves of the masters.

"This trick is good! Brother, I think I have learned it!"

"Didn't you see that he was chopped up just after he finished playing this trick?"

King Wen: ...

The entourage scolded in a low voice: "Your Highness has treated them well for the past six months, but I didn't expect them to be a bunch of trash! Drive them away tomorrow!"

King Wen nodded.

After fighting outside for a quarter of an hour, the killers fell one by one, and the last few escaped in embarrassment.

The Janissaries chased the killer and left the inn.

"Hey, it's amazing! These people won't all die, right? Brother, let me go over and see if there are any survivors?"

"Go! Be careful!"

Hearing this, King Wen heaved a sigh of relief.He lowered his head and straightened his clothes, opened the door and went out.

Seeing King Wen come out, someone immediately said: "Your Highness King Wen, we have been protecting you just now! We just guarded this door and did not let the assassin get any closer!"

King Wen: ...

He smiled lightly and nodded.

"Brother, it's so strange that no one is alive! Even if they were hacked to death by a sword, they wouldn't die so quickly, right? Could it be that the sword was poisoned? So they were poisoned and died so quickly?"

Hearing that everyone was dead, King Wen stepped forward and went to check.

The entourage came to King Wen with a lantern.After quickly checking a few of the assassins, he found something was wrong, and said suspiciously: "Your Highness, it seems that they are not from the same group."

These people's hair is about the same length, and their facial features are handsome and young.Most of the killers that King Wen encountered before were middle-aged.My hair is dirty, messy, and greasy, and I haven't washed it in at least a few months.

King Wen also discovered this, and was even more puzzled.Besides Jiang Guo, who else would assassinate him?

"Your Highness, what should we do with these corpses?" the attendant asked.

With so many people, they must not be buried secretly.The killers who assassinated King Wen before used to team up with three or four people each time.After killing the opponent, King Wen directly had the killer's body buried.Dozens of killers came tonight, and no matter how they deal with this large body of corpses, they will be discovered.

"Let's report to the officials!" To make matters worse, King Wen had a reason to apply to the court to send experts to protect him.

"Yes!" The follower nodded.

"You guys, hurry up and report to the officials!" The attendant pointed at the warriors and ordered them to do things.

Wufu was about to go out to report the crime, and Zhou Shangshu brought people to the inn.

King Wen hasn't been back to the capital for more than ten years, and he doesn't know the ministers at all.

After Zhou Shangshu introduced himself, King Wen immediately reacted and asked Zhou Shangshu: "The person who protected me before was arranged by Zhou Shangshu?"

An accident happened here, and Zhou Shangshu rushed over so quickly.The other party must have sent someone to secretly protect him!

Zhou Shangshu nodded, and replied: "It was arranged by Zhou. I am so sorry for frightening His Highness!"

King Wen looked at him and asked earnestly, "How did Zhou Shangshu know that this king would be in danger? Why did he arrange for people to protect this king in secret?"

"It's inconvenient for Zhou to inform me this time. His Highness will know in the future! Since His Highness is fine, Zhou can rest assured."

After talking to King Wen, Zhou Shangshu turned his head and ordered his subordinates to quickly clean up the scene and remove the corpses.

A martial artist boldly approached Zhou Shangshu and said flatteringly, "Master Shangshu, do you still need any subordinates? Younger ones can also learn martial arts, and their martial arts are not bad!"

King Wen's entourage rolled their eyes angrily, and said to Zhou Shangshu: "Zhou Shangshu, don't believe what they say! When the killers were fighting just now, they were watching the show! They never helped! This kind of person is terrible! "

"Who said we didn't help! We guarded His Highness King Wen's house and protected His Highness!"

Zhou Shangshu nodded perfunctorily to King Wen, turned and left.

King Wen: ...

He had to go back to the room to be quiet and take a good look at what happened tonight.

"What! The assassination failed!"

King Qin's face was gloomy.

"King Wen has a lot of masters! They are so numerous that we are no match for them..."

King Qin looked annoyed.Clenching his hands into fists, he paced the room.

The failure of this operation has already alarmed the snake.King Wen may make things worse.It will not be easy to attack King Wen again!

At dawn, Zhou Shangshu immediately brought several officials and a group of people to the place where King Qin lived.

"King Qin ordered an assassin to assassinate King Wen. The evidence is solid! Take King Qin away!" Zhou Shangshu's voice was sonorous and powerful.

Qin Wang laughed angrily, pointed at Zhou Shangshu and cursed: "You secretly colluded with King Wen, trying to help him rebel and usurp the throne!"

Dali Siqing, Jing Zhaoyin and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment looked at Zhou Shangshu in surprise.

Zhou Shangshu retorted with a straight face: "Nonsense! Take him away!"

"Wen Wang has Jiang Guo's support and wants to rebel and usurp the throne! He is Wen Wang's helper! When this king found out about this, they wanted to silence him!"

Seeing King Qin yelling, Zhou Shangshu kicked him directly, and then stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth to stop him from talking nonsense.

After locking King Qin up, Zhou Shangshu told Taifu Li and the others about the situation.

"He really couldn't help attacking King Wen last night. Zhou has already locked him up!"

Taifu Li nodded, and told Zhou Shangshu: "Thank you, Zhou Shangshu, hand over King Qin to Commander Ye and lock him in Ye's house. Find another substitute and put him in the prison."

Zhou Shangshu asked: "Teacher is trying to lure a snake into the bait? King Qin is arrested, his people will definitely not be able to sit still, and will come to rescue him from prison."

"Exactly." Li Taifu stroked his beard with a calm look.

Zhou Shangshu immediately uploaded a message to Commander Ye, asking Commander Ye to take King Qin home and imprison him.

King Qin's arrest was clearly a major event, but everyone was not surprised at all.

When Princess Changle and Princess Yuehua learned about this, the two sisters were in a good mood. When they made an appointment to meet, Princess Yuehua proudly said: "Look, I said that the court must have taken some action, so the prince Don't let us meddle in these things!"

Princess Changle thought more than Princess Yuehua, she said slowly: "Why did King Qin assassinate King Wen? Could it be that he found that King Wen also wanted to fight for the throne, so he sent someone to get rid of King Wen?"

"This..." Princess Yuehua was originally in a good mood, but after hearing this, her good mood suddenly disappeared.

She said speechlessly: "You are such a disappointment! Anyway, the imperial court has to worry about these things, so let's not make trouble!"

Princess Changle didn't want to quarrel with her, and seeing that she didn't want to talk about this in depth, she changed the topic and talked about other things.

But Wen Wang, the person involved, was having a hard time.It wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep in a daze.After sleeping for half an hour, he was woken up by someone.

"His Royal Highness King Wen! I heard that King Qin was arrested! He sent those killers last night!"

King Wen:! ! !

He never offended the King of Qin!Not to mention enmity with each other!Why did the other party send so many top killers to assassinate him!

King Wen woke up his attendants and asked him, "Has my father offended King Qin before?"

The attendant looked sleepy, his eyes were confused, and his expression was bewildered.

King Wen asked again: "Has my father offended King Qin before? Did he rob King Qin of his beloved woman? Or did he rob King Qin of his treasure?"

The entourage came to his senses, shook his head and replied, "No! Your Highness, don't you know what kind of guts old King Wen is? How could he offend other feudal lords?"

King Wen murmured in a low voice, "That's strange. Why did King Qin send so many masters to kill me?"

The attendant was surprised, raised his voice, and asked excitedly: "What! Your Highness, those killers were sent by the King of Qin last night? Why did he do this?"

"If this king knows, why would I ask you?" King Wen frowned, his heart was in a mess.

"Your Highness, why don't we ask King Qin?" the attendant suggested.

King Wen said speechlessly: "King Qin has been arrested in the sky prison! Everyone must be discussing this now. If I go out, I will definitely be surrounded by people and questioned."

Even King Wen himself was very confused, completely unclear about the current situation.If someone asked, how would he answer?

"Well, His Highness King Wen, there are many people from outside looking for you. There are people from King Jia, people from Princess Changle, and people from King Lu..." The martial artist standing aside spoke out.

King Wen: ...

"not see!"

The entourage looked at the group of people displeased, and said in a bad tone: "Why are you still here! You all said that after dawn, you leave immediately."

"Well, it's not easy for the brothers to accompany you here from Jiazhou. It's a long way, and the travel expenses are quite a lot..."

King Wen waved to his followers and said, "Give them the travel expenses."

With a dark face, the attendant gave a sum of money cursing.

The group of people got the money and left the inn quickly.

"Your Highness is kind! If you want Xiao Nu to tell you, you shouldn't have given these people travel expenses! It was so dangerous last night, not only did they not protect His Highness, they even had time to watch the show and evaluate it!"

After the entourage finished complaining, they heard someone knocking on the door, thinking that the group of warriors had returned, and went to open the door unhappily.

"I told you to get out! Still not leaving! What are you doing when you come back..."

Opening the door, seeing two guards and an eunuch, the attendants were stunned.

"Is His Royal Highness King Wen here? Invite him into the palace." The little table asked with a light smile.

The entourage nodded quickly, and hurried back to the house to invite King Wen out.

"Enter the palace?" King Wen was startled.

At this time, who let him enter the palace?But it's definitely safer inside the palace than outside!King Wen quickly asked his followers to pack up their things and entered the palace with their luggage.

The small table reminded: "His Royal Highness King Wen, you don't need to bring so many things into the palace."

King Wen explained embarrassingly: "This king has prepared a gift for His Majesty."

The little table didn't say any more, and brought the other party into the palace.

The follower wanted to follow, but was left in the inn.Before leaving, King Wen ordered him to hide in another place.When it's safe, contact me again.

When he entered the palace with big and small bags on his back, the imperial guards stopped him for inspection and unpacked the bags.

Seeing so many adult clothes, the corners of the little table's eyes twitched slightly.

Although there were a few good things among them, King Wen brought so many clothes into the palace, and these were definitely not gifts for the little emperor.Obviously want to live in the palace!

Xiaozhuo naturally heard about King Wen's assassination, so he asked aloud, "His Highness King Wen wants to live in the palace?"

King Wen has already undergone a body search and a change of clothes.He shook his head and said, "Not really."

"Then why did you bring so many clothes into the palace?" Xiao Zhuo asked.

King Wen argued, "I like to take some things with me when I go out."

After hiding and killing for nearly a year, what happened last night nearly broke King Wen.King Qin can send so many masters to assassinate him in the capital, which shows that the other party has the intention of treason!Otherwise, how could there be so many killers!How dare you kill someone in the capital!It's crazy!Although Qin Wang was arrested, there is no guarantee that the other party will not escape from prison and continue to send people to hunt and kill him!

Even if he can't stay in the imperial palace, he can find a corner to hide in the imperial city!

Small table:……

After passing the security check, King Wen took out a small gold ingot and stuffed it on the small table.Asked in a low voice: "This father-in-law, I wonder who let this king enter the palace?"

"It's our family's godfather, the eunuch with palm prints." The small table put the gold ingot away, and the tone of the conversation with King Wen became gentle.

"The palm seal of the king? Why did he let me enter the palace?" King Wen asked.

The little table replied: "Our family doesn't know about this either. It should be about what happened last night?"

King Wen was thoughtful.

The small table saw that it was not easy for him to walk with so many burdens on his back, so he took the initiative to share the two smallest burdens for him.

King Wen: ...

"Thank you father-in-law."

When he arrived at the Long Live Hall, the small table said to him, "His Royal Highness King Wen should put these things outside!"

King Wen nodded, quickly found the good things, and planned to give them to the little emperor.

Director Wang was sitting in the Long Live Hall, and there was no one else in the hall.

Seeing the small table leading a young man in, he stood up and said, "This is His Highness King Wen, right?"

"The palm seal of the king is good! The little king brought a gift to His Majesty, and I have the palm seal of the king."

King Wen gave the gift to Mr. Wang.

Manager Wang winked at the small table and asked the small table to hold it.He looked at King Wen with a smile, and asked, "Does King Wen know why our family invited you into the palace?"

King Wen shook his head.

Manager Wang told him: "I heard that King Wen was assassinated last night. Our family is relieved to see that King Wen is well."

King Wen took the opportunity to say: "Wang's palm seal, can you arrange for Xiao Wang to live in the palace? To be honest, Xiao Wang has been hunted down for nearly a year!"

This surprised Mr. Wang.He gestured, asked King Wen to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea.

King Wen started from the beginning and told Manager Wang Jiang Guo's purpose.Manager Wang finished listening with a calm expression, and said calmly: "Our family understands. I will tell the Taifu and others about it. King Wen can live in the palace with peace of mind!"

King Wen was very moved!He finally found a safe place!After negotiating, he went out to look through the baggage again, took out a few gold ingots and stuffed them to Manager Wang.Manager Wang didn't refuse, and accepted it directly.

It was the little emperor's intention to let King Wen enter the palace.Upon hearing the news that King Qin had attacked King Wen, Manager Wang mentioned a few words to the little emperor.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor asked Wen Wang to enter the palace.Although Manager Wang felt strange, he didn't think much about it.

Of course, Gu Yang had other intentions in letting King Wen enter the palace.

King Wen has been used as bait by Li Taifu and others to lure King Qin to the bait.It is impossible to be as low-key as before.It's better to take advantage of the situation and keep the other party in the capital.Continue to lure more fish into the bait.

King Qin is definitely not the only one with ambitions.It's just that too many people set their sights on King Qin.Gu Yang wants to catch the person hiding in the dark.

That's right, Gu Yang planned to keep King Wen in the capital.Before he came to power, he needed an honest vassal to bear the pressure of many parties on his behalf.King Wen was just the right guy.

These thoughts, Gu Yang can't tell others now.

King Wen: Isn't the palace the safest place?Why do I feel colder!
