The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 17: Behind the scenes storm

The medical sage Sangchen was collecting medicine in the mountains. On the day of his emergence, he saw Emperor Yong's list. He knew that Suiyun was about to die. Within three days, he galloped for thousands of miles to Chang'an and to Yongwang Mansion. , The sage of medicine rejuvenated, Zhe Nai was born, but his body weakened since then.

--"The Southern Dynasties Chu History·Jiang Suiyun Biography"

As soon as Sang Chen arrived at the palace, he went straight to the cold garden and took a few imperial doctors and Xiao Shunzi to fight him. He stayed behind closed doors, but ordered various things from time to time.

Li Zhi was waiting outside the door, his heart was extremely anxious, Pei Yun's injury was completely healed, and I heard that Sang Chen had arrived at the Yongwang Mansion, and he also rushed to stand outside the door to wait. He was very grateful to Jiang Zhe and followed his method. After discussing with the masters, although the two masters did not speak, they had acquiesced. Although they were contrary to the Buddhist philosophy of compassion, they could not take care of them. Pei Yun was a disciple of their carefully cultivated Dharma protectors, and they definitely could not talk to Fengyi. Something to do. For this reason, they deliberately divided the only two Xiaohuan Pills they had on their bodies into one for Jiang Zhe.

Everyone waited outside for a whole day, and it was not until the next night that they saw Sang Chen and others walking out exhaustedly. The medical sage is already in his seventies. Although he is old and has white beard and hair, he is still in good health. In the past two days, the imperial doctors will almost take turns in battle, but he has never stepped out of the room.

Walking out of the room, Sang Chen saw Li Zhi at a glance, and stepped forward and said: ‘I’m grateful to your highness for your hard work. If it weren’t for your highness to extend his life with expensive medicine, I’m afraid Suiyun won’t be able to wait for the old man to save him. ‘

Li Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down softly on the chairs the guards moved over, and said wearily: ‘Mr. Sang, this king wants to thank you for saving Mr. Jiang. ‘

Sang Chen smiled slightly and said: "Suiyun and I are in sympathy with our grandparents. It is only natural for me to save him, but although he is safe now, the rest of the rest is still a lot of thought. The old man has to harass his highness. . ‘

Li Zhi quickly stood up and said: ‘Naturally, even if Mr. Sang doesn’t say anything, this king will also ask him to stay in the palace temporarily. No matter what you need, please tell this king, you will not let him down. ‘

Sang Chen nodded and said: "The old man is tired too. Please prepare a place for him. Tomorrow I will treat Suiyun again. The old man will live in the cold garden and can take care of Suiyun's body at any time. ‘

Li Zhi repeatedly agreed that he had already asked people to prepare a residence for Sang Chen in the cold garden.

At this time, the princess sent someone to persuade Li Zhi to go back to the house and take a rest. For these days, Li Zhi almost lived in the cold garden, and did not go back at all. Now he finally felt relieved. Only then did the princess return to his residence. The two concubines and the maids waited on Li Zhi to bathe and change clothes. After a good meal, Li Zhi finally fell asleep in bed carefree.

When I woke up, it was three poles in the sun. Li Zhi got up, and the two maids came over to help Li Zhi tidy up his clothes. Li Zhi smiled and said, ‘Where’s the princess? ‘

The princess walked in from outside and said with a smile: ‘His Royal Highness is overjoyed, just now Hanyuan sent someone to report that Jiang Sima has woken up. ‘

Li Zhi was overjoyed and said: ‘The sage of medicine is indeed well-deserved, and after one night, Suiyun woke up. ‘

The princess endures a smile and said: "His Royal Highness, it's been two days. You can't wake up from this sleep. Mr. Sang came to see you and said that you were too exhausted the other day, as long as you wake up. All right. ‘

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "No wonder this king is hungry. Get some food soon. This king is going to visit Mr. Jiang in the cold garden. ‘

The princess took Li Zhi to eat outside, and said as she walked: "Your Royal Highness will take Roulan with you. I dare not tell her about Jiang Sima these days. She has been crying for several times. ‘

Li Zhi nodded and said: ‘Alright, you also accompany me on a trip, and then go to the palace and tell Changle. ‘

The princess looked at Li Zhi in surprise and said: ‘Didn’t your highness say that this is wrong? ‘

Li Zhi smiled bitterly:'As soon as Changle knew that Jiang Sima was seriously injured, he immediately gave half of the Scrophulariaceae rewarded to her by the emperor to the king. Two days ago, he sent someone to ask if he needed the other half. The holy has not yet arrived, I'm afraid I really want to borrow Scrophulariaceae. It seems that Changle really has a deep love for Jiang Sima. Even if I can't fulfill her wishes, I don't want her to worry all the time. ‘

The princess nodded and said: ‘Alright, let’s go to the palace with Roulan, and said to show the grandson noble concubine. Although this child is young, he is smart and cute, and Changle also likes her very much. ‘

Li Zhi nodded, and the princess said again:'His Royal Highness, although you have released General Qin and the others, you have been sending people to monitor these days, and you are blatant. Yesterday Mrs. Qin came to visit in person and told her concubine that it was definitely not Qin Qing's For, but the general still locked Qin Qing for detailed questioning. ‘Li Zhi said coldly: ‘Let’s talk about these things after I have discussed with Suiyun. If he did it, this king would never spare him. ‘

The princess hesitated and said: "His Royal Highness, you and the prince are in the same situation. If you offend General Qin again, your concubine is really uneasy, and the Xiahou family is favored by the emperor, and the princess Jingjiang is by his father this time. Come, no matter which one you offend, it is very troublesome. ‘

Li Zhi paused and said lightly: ‘It’s nothing, some things have to be resolved sooner or later, but if Qin Qing really did such a thing, it’s really a shame. ‘

The princess said cautiously: ‘I don’t think this kid will do this. The general's tutoring is rigorous. This kid has a kind-hearted nature. Although a bit reckless, he can't do this kind of secret arrow wounding. ‘

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything. He had already asked Qin Qing himself. Qin Qing did not hide the scene of the day. He was certain that someone provoked Qin Qing, but he was not certain that Qin Qing did not fall into the trap. Apart from Jiang Zhe, there is no second witness who is still alive. Qin Qing told the truth, and he did not rule out the possibility that he fell into trouble while someone assassinated, but the matter was of great importance. Li Zhi didn’t want to tell the princess, just indifferent. Tao:'This king will justly judge. ‘

In any case, the Yongwang Mansion finally calmed down for the time being. These days, the people in the palace have turned their backs on their horses. Now it is finally calm. Of course, the turbulent waves in the dark are not something ordinary people can understand.

In the Prince's Mansion, Lu Jingzhong stared at the information in his hand, and suddenly tore the paper in anger. After a while, he got up and walked out of the room and walked to the door of the palace, but he heard the singing and dancing inside, Lu Jingzhong Shaking his head and walking in quietly, I saw Prince Li An sitting on the head, lazily watching the graceful dances of the dancers, and seeing Lu Jingzhong coming in with a bad look. Li An waved, these dancing girl musicians. After retreating, he asked:'Why is Shao Fu so worried? Isn't it just that Jiang Zhe's life is saved? Our goal was not his life. ‘

Lu Jingzhong worried and said: ‘His Royal Highness, the ministers carefully read the information these days and found that we have made a big mistake. ‘

Li An was taken aback, sitting upright and said: ‘Young Master, why did you say this. ‘

Lu Jingzhongdao: "His Royal Highness, I used to think that although Jiang Zhe was a scholar of the country, but to be honest, we are not short of civil and military talents, so although he has extraordinary military strategies and national policies, the ministers don’t care much. As long as His Royal Highness becomes the throne, if he is willing to serve, it will not be too late. Anyway, His Royal Highness is not the emperor, so there is no need to rush to recruit talents and cause the emperor's suspicion. The minister still secretly laughs at King Yong’s ignorance. What's the role of the center? The original minister suggested to assassinate Jiang Zhe, but he wanted to provoke a conflict between King Yong and General Qin. Unexpectedly, the situation was weird that day. Another group of assassins took the lead. Although he failed, the person we arranged succeeded. Later, King Yong's reaction was also seen by His Royal Highness, and the minister realized that we had stepped on the key of King Yong. ‘

Li Ang nodded and said: "You make sense, we have been so tough these years, we have never seen him so tough, first weeping in front of the father, and then transferred the guards into the city, even the father rewarded him He didn't cherish the scrophulariaceae, and even borrowed the scrophulariacea from Princess Changle. Even the sixth eldest stubbornly took to the pole. Thinking of this, Gu was angry. Why the sixth brother is so confused, did he still see Gu in his eyes. ‘

Lu Jingzhong said:'It is these things that made the minister suspicious. After carefully reading the old information, he learned that the minister was negligent. This Jiang Zhe, the former minister only thought that he was the talent of the pillar, but the minister carefully considered this. Man is actually a wizard who is good at conspiracy. ‘

Li An raised his eyebrows and signaled Lu Jingzhong to continue. Lu Jingzhong said: "This person is famous for his literary talent. He was a counselor in the Prince of Nanchude. The minister didn't feel strange at first, but said that he was just an attachment. Moreover, we obtained the information. Although we knew that Prince Germany trusted him very much, we did not see what strategies he offered. Although we knew that his military affairs were handled well, we felt that it was irrelevant. These days, the ministers collected all the battle reports of Prince Germany and found out. Only when Jiang Zhe was in his army did Prince De's tactics become weird and vicious. There is also Jiang Zhe's song that killed the King of Shu. Although it was passed on as a good talk, everyone thought it was Prince De's order. Jiang Zhe was nothing but a knife, but it may not be Jiang Zhe's own intention. It's just that Jiang Zhe was ill for several years, so everyone didn't pay attention. If he hadn't read the information from Nanchu, I was afraid that he would not be able to discover this. ‘

Li An smiled and said: ‘Is Young Fu worried too much? These are all things without evidence? ‘

Lu Jingzhong said: "There is indeed no evidence, but your Royal Highness, why did King Qi want to compete with King Yong for this person? This time he graciously sent expensive medicines. His Royal Highness did not say that Liang Wan once told His Royal Highness that King Yong and Qi The capital once asked her to pay attention to Jiang Zhe, but we thought that King Yong appreciated Jiang Zhe’s talents. His Royal Highness knew that King Yong was a lover of talents. As King Qi always made mischief, his Royal Highness did not take it seriously. King Yong and King Qi are afraid that they all know how powerful this man is. Only the prince and his ministers regard Jiang Zhe as a talented literati. The so-called one-leaf baffle can not see Taishan. King Yong used his respect to make us believe that Jiang Zhe is Qu Yuanjia. An ordinary celebrity, but let us ignore that this person is really a first-class adviser in Liangping. ‘

Li An said: ‘Young Fu is careful, I know that I’m lonely, but it’s too much worry. Since this person has taken refuge in King Yong, he hasn’t done anything to speak of. ‘

A vigilance flashed in Lu Jingzhong’s eyes and said: “This is what the minister is worried about. The so-called good fighters have no great merits. In addition, if the minister guesses correctly, this person should be stern and eclectic. , I'm afraid we will be trapped, so Chen originally hoped that he would die, but he didn't expect that such a serious injury would allow him to escape. ‘

Li Ann said with relief: ‘Young Fu is very talented, that is, no matter how talented that person is, he will not be Shao Fu’s opponent. The big deal is that we will send another killer. ‘

A glimpse of pride flashed in Lu Jingzhong's eyes, but he shook his head and said:'This is another thing we have overlooked. He has a hidden master named Li Shun, who is said to be an **** in Nanchu Palace. , Took shelter in Jiang Zhe when Jianye City was broken, and was also brought back by King Yong. I checked the information about this person afterwards and found that it was very scarce, because this person was inseparable from Jiang Zhe almost all the time, Jiang Zhe lived in the simplest form. The same is true for people. His Royal Highness knows that Yongwang Mansion is like an iron bucket, and it is difficult to penetrate, especially Jiang Zhe is surrounded by many guards. Our spies did not pay attention to this person at all. According to Xiahou, that Li Shunwugong He has reached the state of indistinct appearance, unless he is a master of his level, or a person who is good at tasting, it is difficult to see his depth. Our spy is really a little worse, and there is no special attention, which is ignored. With this person, according to Xiahou, this person's martial arts must be far superior to him. If we send another killer, I'm afraid it won't work. ‘

Li An looked uneasy and said: ‘Young Fu, then what do you think? ‘

Lu Jingzhong said: "The so-called soldiers are coming, so your Highness does not have to worry too much, but we should be more careful. Once His Highness becomes the throne, there is no need to worry. If the situation is urgent, we will send some powerful killers, no matter how high Li Shun's martial arts is. , Can it be higher than that person? ‘

Ang Li nodded and said: ‘Sao Fu said yes. Then, should we slow down our business? ‘

Lu Jingzhong said: “It’s not necessary. Xiahou said that the assassin was sent by Southern Chu in all likelihood. I don’t believe that a Southern Chu survivor would collude with the Splendid Alliance, and I don’t believe it. What kind of power he has in the trouble? Now that King Yong is in a state of desperation, we have just taken the opportunity to make a few matches. When King Yong has noticed, we are no longer doing it, but your Highness, the minister still persuades His Highness to alienate Xia Jinyi. He is He Jiang. Zhe entered the mansion only after a conflict. I am worried that he has different intentions. ‘

Li Ann said impatiently:'Shao Fu, you know, although Xia Jinyi had a conflict with Jiang Zhe, it was because of Guan Zhonglian, and it was Jiang Zhe who would do just like him. Besides, the king sent people to monitor Xia Jinyi. He was busy rehearsing singing and dancing with Xiu Chunqing Qingqing. This time Jiang Zhe was seriously injured and Yongwang’s mansion was in chaos. If he is a spy, he should pretend to be indifferent if he is not particularly concerned, but you know, Although he was curious, he did not have any sympathy. He also mocked the people in the Yongwang Mansion. In addition, he got Xiuchun. If he was a spy in the Yongwang Mansion, he would not be busy collecting information these days. Besides, this kind of only sensuality I am afraid that the second child will not look up to the dog and horse. Don't worry, this king will not let him know any secrets. This kid is not such a piece of material. ‘

Lu Jingzhong frowned and stopped admonishing. He couldn't always say that His Royal Highness was tempted by Xia Jinyi to indulge in eroticism these days, which has caused some people's dissatisfaction. Such things can't be persuaded.

Li Ann waved his hand and said: ‘Okay, Shao Fu just stepped up the surveillance of Yongwang Mansion, don’t worry. ‘Lu Jingzhong had no choice but to say yes.

Li Ang's expression changed at this time, saying: ‘I’m just very upset about one thing. King Qi didn’t warn you about Jiang Zhe in advance, but now I’m flattering. Do you think King Qi is unwilling. ‘

Lu Jingzhong said: ‘His Royal Highness, who does not have selfishness in the world? The minister thinks that King Qi only likes talented people. Your selfishness shouldn’t mind you. ‘

Li Ang glanced at Lu Jingzhong dissatisfiedly and said: ‘Since you said that, it’s lonely, but you have to pay attention to King Qi, but I don’t want everyone to betray their relatives. ‘

Lu Jingzhong's expression remained unchanged and said: "The minister must pay attention to the actions of King Qi. If your Royal Highness is worried, you might as well ask Concubine Lan, she and Princess Qi are from the same school, and they will know something. ‘

Li An said coldly: "Gu had already asked the Xiao family. She said that Princess Qi told her that it was King Qi just because Gu Nian Jiang Zhe had cured him. I know this. So I didn't take it to heart. After listening to your words today, the sixth person's words are definitely not true. You should pay attention to this for Gu. Gu will never allow another Yongwang to appear. ‘

Lu Jingzhong respectfully said: "The minister obeys orders. ‘

In a house in Chang'an, Xiahou Yuanfeng is standing in the garden, playing with the plum blossoms that have just bloomed. It is now the end of February, and a few early plums are in buds. At this time, a young man in Qingyi came from behind. He walked in a hurry and saw the young master with a plum-like appearance in the early spring sunshine. He was stunned for a while, and then said loudly:'My son, the guest wants to see you. ‘

Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled slightly and said, ‘That’s it. ‘After that, cut off a plum blossom and put it in the bottle, and walked towards the guest room with the bottle like this. Entering the guest room, he put the vase on the table, and the faint plum scent filled the room immediately. He said lightly to the middle-aged man on the bed: ‘Poisonous hand and evil heart, are your injuries healed? ‘

The poisonous hand stared coldly at the handsome boy who rescued him that day, and said sternly: ‘My injury is healed, what are your conditions? ‘

Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and said: ‘There is one thing to tell you, unfortunately, Jiang Zhe and Jiang Suiyun have already escaped. ‘

The poisonous hand was tight in his heart, but he said coldly: ‘Then you, the oriole, did not take advantage. ‘

Xiahou Yuanfeng said lightly: "It stands to reason that you are a South Chu spy, I should have killed you, but I really don’t want to kill you. After all, your goals and mine do not conflict. If you want, I can. Give you another chance to assassinate, you are willing. ‘

Poisonous Hand Xiexin sneered and said: ‘Do you think I’m an idiot? Don’t say that Jiang Zhe must be well-guarded now, and now Father Shun will not leave him. ‘

Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyes lit up and said: ‘Are you familiar with Li Shun? ‘

The evil heart of the poisonous hand saw through his mind, and said lightly: "Not familiar, but I have monitored Jiang Zhe for a period of time, knowing that he often enters and exits Jiang Zhe's mansion, but I didn't expect his martial arts to be so strong this time. If he weren't here~IndoMTL.com~ I'm afraid I would have come to die. ‘

Xiahou Yuanfeng said lightly: ‘The investigation in the capital has been lax these days. If you want, I can send you out of the city. ‘

The poisonous hand said coldly: "What is your purpose? ‘

Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and said: "My purpose is very simple. I want you to draw the attention of Yongwang Mansion. During their hunt for you, I hope you can convince them that you are conspiring to kill someone. Qin Qing, of course, I will try my best to help you escape back to Nanchu, if not, please stop by yourself. You know who Qin Qing is. I think the dispute between King Yong and General Qin is good for you in Southern Chu. ‘

Knowing that the evil hand is a lifelong mission, he said indifferently: ‘Alright, my life will be paid back to you at most, but you must do one thing too. You must kill Jiang Zhe within two years. ‘

Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and raised his hand to swear: ‘Xiahou Yuanfeng vowed to kill Jiang Zhe within two years. If he violates this oath, heaven will die. ‘

The evil heart of the poisonous hand said indifferently: "Although I don't believe in your oath, I believe you must kill Jiang Zhe. Otherwise, unless you don't let him know who shot that arrow for life, you will definitely die in him On hand. ‘

Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled. On that day, he saw Xiao Shunzi's incredible light work, and knew that His Royal Highness had offended a terrible enemy, so he made a temporary move to rescue the assassin who assassinated Jiang Zhe first, hoping that he could achieve it. My purpose, but the person who shot that arrow was not himself. If he hadn't let the poisonous hand evil heart think so, how could he obediently obey his own arrangements, thinking of the killer oriole, Xia Hou Yuanfeng thought maliciously, not knowing that person Is it clear that someone aimed at him with a bow and arrow? Things in the world are really uncoincidental. Who would have thought that three waves of killers would arrive in the cold garden at the same time?
