I’m The King Chapter 558: : Uninvited guest
The door of the room was pushed open with a creak, and a postman came in with a wooden basin in one hand and a steaming wooden barrel in the other. Close the door.
"Just pour the water into the basin!" Deng Gongming sat on the chair, took off his boots and thick socks, and said, rubbing his feet.
"My lord, I have the ability to massage acupoints with one hand. I wonder if my lord would like to try it?"
"Oh, you still have this skill?" Deng Gongming was very surprised, and looked up at the postman, but unfortunately the postposter was standing at a backlight, and he lowered his head again, but he couldn't see the other party clearly. Appearance, foot massage, in Jicheng, only those good halls provide such services. Deng Gongming also tried it. After that massage, the whole body is really comfortable, but the fee is really high some.
In those places, the massagers are all good-looking women, but in a small place like Fufeng, it is not easy for someone to know this thing.
"Okay, okay, then I will let you serve for a while, and you will be paid well." Deng Gongming said enthusiastically.
The postman bent over and squatted down, picked up the steaming footbath, and placed it in front of Deng Gongming. His feet were submerged in the hot water, and Deng Gongming let out a sigh of relief.
The postman squatted in front of him, dipped his hands into the water, gently washed Deng Gongming for a while, lifted Deng Gongming's feet, wiped off the water, put them on his knees, and raised his thumbs , aimed at an acupuncture point on the sole of the foot, and lightly pressed it, a tingling numbness spread to his heart immediately, Deng Gongming let out a long cry, and closed his eyes comfortably.
"Master Deng, these days must be irritating and restless, and the fire is on the rise, right? Is it because of some troublesome errands?" The postman laughed.
Deng Gongming hummed, and suddenly realized. A small postman, An Dare to inquire about his business, is too unruly, Huo De opened his eyes. He wanted to reprimand him a few words, but at this moment, the postman also raised his head, his eyes met, the postman's face was full of smiles, but Deng Gongming froze as if he had been struck by lightning. After a while, one hand raised and pointed at the postman's head, "You. You..."
The postman's hand was pressing on Deng Gongming's leg. If it wasn't like this, this guy would definitely jump up at this time.
"Master Deng, be quiet!"
Deng Gongming's tense muscles slowly relaxed, just looking at each other. His eyes were still full of disbelief, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Master Li, why are you here?"
Lord Li is naturally Li Yuncong who sneaked into Liaoxi. He was ordered by Tan Feng to come to Liaoxi to complete two tasks. One is to assassinate Yan Shenghao, and the other is to kill Zhou Yuan.
The first task has failed. Although Yan Shenghao was injured, his life was safe. After confirming this, Li Yuncong left Jishi City's control area without hesitation. For a senior official of Zhengdong Mansion like Yan Shenghao, you didn't seize the opportunity. There will be no second chance for you, if there is, it is definitely a trap.
Li Yuncong never thought about the consequences of failing to complete the task, he just knew that this matter was beyond his control.
The Overwatch Council of the Conquering Eastern Army is beating him all over the world. He appeared in Liaoxi City like no one else.
"I'm here, of course I'm following the order of Commander Tan." Li Yuncong was calm and unhurried, pressing the acupuncture points on the soles of Deng Gongming's feet.
"You did the assassination of Yan Shenghao outside Jishi City?" Deng Gongming asked.
"Unfortunately, it didn't work, and the traitor escaped." Li Yuncong said regretfully, "I underestimated Gao Yuan's intuition for danger. The crossbow arrows in his hand scattered towards several targets, if all the crossbow arrows were concentrated and shot at Yan Shenghao, he would never survive."
Speaking of this matter, Li Yuncong is still very annoyed. The old Yan Lingwei was cleaned up very badly. This time I came here, but I did not bring my familiar confidantes, but a group of newcomers. When doing things, there was either a problem here or a problem there. This made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
"What are you looking for me for?" Deng Gongming faintly felt something was wrong. Being targeted by someone like Li Yuncong was definitely not a good thing.
Sure enough, Li Yuncong looked at him, and said something that took him out of his wits, "The meaning of the superior is that Zhou Taiyuan will never be allowed to enter Jicheng alive, so he must die, and he must die in the western part of Liaoxi."
"This won't work!" Deng Gongming immediately said: "If Zhou Taiwei dies, how can I deal with it? Are you trying to put me to death?"
Li Yuncong smiled, "Master Deng, are you confused? It's difficult for you to deal with Zhou Yuan's death. If he dies, you may suffer some grievances in a short time, but in the long run, After you do this, does Commander Tan still remember you?"
"Will Taiwei Zhou Yu let me go?" Deng Gongming trembled.
"Without the approval of Taiwei Zhou Yu and Zhou, how could Commander Tan make such a decision arbitrarily? Lord Deng, Taiwei Zhou Yu is now the leader of the Zhou clan. If Zhou Yuan goes back, Mrs. Zhou How does Wei deal with himself? Besides, Zhou Taiwei has parted ways with Zhou Yuan, do you still think that Zhou Taiwei will protect him?" Li Yuncong smiled and changed Deng Gongming's other foot, and continued to massage.
"Kill Zhou Yuan, how will you and I escape?"
"Master Deng, why worry about how to get out? You are a special envoy sent by Jicheng. Could it be that Gao Yuan dares to detain you? As for me, you don't need to worry about it. Even if you can't get out and fall into the other party's hands, you will Don't worry about getting involved with you." Li Yuncong said flatly.
"Master Li, you..." Hearing the information revealed in the other party's tone, Deng Gongming couldn't help trembling, suddenly remembered Li Yuncong's background, and immediately understood that Li Yuncong had no way out.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked.
"I assassinated Yan Shenghao outside Jishi City, which has already alarmed the Overwatch Council. Maybe they also guessed that I might also assassinate Zhou Yuan, so now that Zhou Yuan is surrounded by tight protection, I can't get close to Zhou Yuan at all. Beside me, all you have to do is bring me to Zhou Yuan's room." Li Yuncong wiped Deng Gongming's feet clean, clapped his hands, but still squatted on the ground.
"As far as I know, there are still two personal guards in Zhou Yuan's room." Deng Gongming said. "Once you make a move, there must be movement, and the guards outside will break in. How can you have a chance to succeed?"
"As long as I enter Zhou Yuan's room, I have a chance, and the chance is great!" Li Yuncong smiled and said: "I still have some skills in killing people, only two personal guards, I am completely You can get it before they react, as for the rest, anyway, as long as I kill Zhou Yuan, I will leave it to fate if I can escape, and you, you just need to push everything on me afterwards."
"Are you really so sure?" Deng Gongming asked suspiciously.
"Of course, Mr. Deng, you should also know what I used to do? I have been doing this for decades!" Li Yuncong stood up, the smile in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a coldness.
Deng Gongming shivered fiercely. Tan Feng and Zhou Yu wanted to kill Zhou Yuan. If he refused to go along with Li Yuncong's idea, he might not have any good results after returning.
He suddenly regretted it. When this task was assigned to him, he thought it was a good opportunity to show his face, but who knew it was a big fire pit. After that, whether I could get up or not, I had no idea at all.
"There are some of my casual clothes in that box. You and I are about the same size, so put them on. I'll take you to see Taiwei Zhou." Deng Gongming made up his mind. You must not offend Xinke Taiwei Zhou Yu and Yushi doctor Tan Feng, otherwise, not only will it be difficult for you to die well, but even your family will be affected, not to mention, after this incident, your life may not be in danger. As Li Yuncong said, I can completely blame him, claiming that I was coerced by him.
A moment later, Deng Gongming and Li Yuncong appeared outside the door of Zhou Yuan's room.
"Master Deng!" Outside the door, a guard greeted him, "It's getting late, I don't know what's the matter with Master Deng coming here at this time?"
Deng Gongming had a smile on his face, "It's like this, we are going to set off tomorrow, but the logistics of these 4,000 or 5,000 people and some complicated matters, I want to ask the Taiwei for instructions, I am a civil servant, These things, I really don’t understand, Taiwei Zhou has been in the army for a lifetime, but these things are well known, I want to ask the Taiwei to find out, so that if there is any problem on the road, I will be in a hurry and miss the trip?”
"Who is this?" The guard looked at Li Yuncong behind Deng Gongming~IndoMTL.com~He is the official I brought, and he is in charge of the army's logistics. It should be much clearer. "
The guard nodded, "So that's the case, Mr. Deng, please go ahead, the Taiwei hasn't rested yet, if you come a little later, it won't work."
"Thank you very much!" Deng Gongming nodded, and he and Li Yuncong walked towards the door.
Behind him, the guard who was smiling just now showed a strange smile on his face. Standing there, he was still, but with his hands behind his back, he made a few gestures. After making these gestures, the guard followed the two towards the door.
Deng Gongming gently knocked on the door, "Taiwei Zhou, Deng Gongming asks to see you!"
"Gongming, please come in!" Zhou Yuan's steady voice came from inside.
Deng Gongming only felt his heart jumping up. He glanced back at Li Yuncong, and stretched out his hand to push open the door. The lights in the room illuminated the two of them at once.
