A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1185
[Chapter 1175 Uninvited]
“If Qi Ning hadn’t been fooled, would tonight’s actions fall into the trap they laid?”
Li Hongxin, who had been silent for a long time in the Prince of Shu’s mansion, suddenly asked a sentence.
Ximen Hengye seemed very surprised that Li Hongxin would ask such a question at such a time, but still said: “My lord, our purpose of attacking the east and west has been achieved. We have been sending people to watch. When we acted, those soldiers and horses still did not move. That is to say, even if the prefect’s mansion was prepared, it was only the manpower of the prefect’s mansion on weekdays. For tonight’s action, our manpower is far away. Overtaking
them is enough to control the situation.”
Li Hongxin thought thoughtfully.
He knew that what Ximen Hengye said was not wrong.
From the beginning of the planned operation, Wei Tong’s available soldiers in the city have been closely monitored by the king of Shu. If Qi Ning really wants to set a trap this time, he will naturally expect that the people of the king of Shu will storm the governor’s mansion, then There will also be an ambush in the governor’s mansion, and in this case, the soldiers and horses in the city will inevitably be used.
However, the soldiers available in the city have not moved, which means that Qi Ning would not have thought that the King of Shu would launch a surprise attack on the Governor’s Mansion today, otherwise he would never have done nothing.
But Li Hong always felt a little uneasy in his confidence.
After experiencing countless ups and downs, Li Hongxin has a strong premonition about many things. Although everything was well planned, and Wei Tong’s men did not move as expected, but the more so, Li Hongxin was at this time. On the contrary, there is a sense of unease, and even deep down, there is a sense of fear.
I haven’t felt this way for many years, but recently it suddenly came up in my heart, and as time went by, this feeling turned out to be stronger and stronger.
The palace of the King of Shu was dead silent. The guards who guarded the palace of the King of Shu had already killed the armory in Chengdu according to the previous arrangement. The armory was naturally guarded by officers and soldiers, but the number was not always large. Nearly 100 troops were enough to make it in the shortest possible time. Internal control of the arsenal, as long as the arsenal is taken, then even if there are other forces in the city supporting Wei Tong and without weapons in their hands, they cannot pose a threat to the King of Shu.
A voice suddenly came from outside the door: “Report, Lord, someone is asking to see you!”
Li Hongxin and Ximen Hengye were both startled, and Ximen Hengye said in a deep voice, “Who is asking for a meeting?”
“He said that he is the person that the prince wants to see the most. .” The voice outside the door said: “I also said that the lord must see him, otherwise it will be difficult for the lord to pass this level tonight.”
Li Hongxin was even more surprised, looking at Ximen Hengye, Ximen Hengye thought for a while, and nodded slightly, Only then did Li Hongxin say: “Let him in.”
“Boom!”
Suddenly there was a thunderstorm from the sky, Li Hongxin’s eyes jumped slightly, and he said lightly: “It looks like it’s going to rain!”
At dusk, there were dark clouds around the sky .
, but the rain never fell.
Not long after, in the darkness of the night, several figures appeared outside the door. Li Hongxin sat on a chair, did not get up, stared at the door, and saw the first person walking to the door, raised his hand, and signaled to everyone behind him. There was no need to keep up, and then he stepped into the hall. When he saw the person coming, Li Hongxin’s pupils shrank, and even Ximen Hengye’s face was horrified.
It was none other than Qi Ning who came in from the door.
Dai Ling’s purpose of bringing people to the governor’s mansion tonight was to kill Qi Ning, how could Li Hongxin think that Qi Ning would appear in front of him at such a time.
In an instant, Li Hongxin’s heart sank to the bottom.
At this time, of course, he knew that Dai Ling and his party would fall into Qi Ning’s trap, and that the palace of the king of Shu also fell into Qi Ning’s plan. The palace of the king of Shu originally had nearly 100 guards who were not afraid of death. Of course
, there is no doubt about the loyalty of Li Hongxin,
and each of them is a warrior carefully selected by Li Hongxin, and each of them is also extremely powerful.
If this group of people are in the palace of the king of Shu, even if Dai Ling falls into the trap, the officers and soldiers will have to pay a heavy price if they want to enter the palace of the king of Shu.
But the 100-person guard of the Shu Palace was sent out to snatch the arsenal.
The entire guardian force of the Shu Palace was the weakest since the Shu Palace was built, but it was at this time that Qi Ning led people to the Shu Palace.
Qi Ning walked into the hall slowly, glanced at Ximen Hengye, then turned to Li Hongxin and said, “Your Highness!”
Li Hong was stunned in confidence, but his face calmed down and smiled lightly: “It turns out to be protecting the country. Sir, in the middle of the night, why do you want to come here?”
“Is your lord going to bed so late?” Qi Ning asked with a smile, without waiting for Li Hongxin to speak, he walked over and sat down on the chair beside Li Hongxin. Clothes, he smiled and said, “Since the lord can’t sleep, I took the liberty to come here, I must not disturb the lord’s sweet dream.”
Ximen Hengye’s face was ugly, his lips moved, but he did not speak.
“Ximen Changshi is the person that the prince has been relying on for many years.” Qi Ning glanced at Ximen Hengye and said lightly, “I know that the prince has a high regard for Ximen Changshi, so I think Ximen Changshi has been grateful for his care for the prince for many years. A slight smile appeared
on
Ximen Hengye’s lips, and he said, “Your lord has been so kind to me as a mountain, and I am naturally grateful to your lord.”
“So if it is for your lord, Ximen Changshi will sacrifice his own life. Shi certainly won’t be reluctant.” Qi Ning said: “On the way here, I have already thought for you, the best way should be to drink poisonous wine, I don’t know if there is poisonous wine in the prince’s mansion, you can lend it to me. The long history of Ximen is a use.”
Li Hongxin’s pupils shrank, and he sneered: “This king does not understand what Duke Protector means?”
“The prince rebelled and implicated the nine clans.” Qi Ning sighed: “In order to make this incident less frequent Some people have died, so the lord needs to inform the world that it was Ximen Changshi who made his own ideas and planned this rebellion in private. Although the lord will also be implicated and even face extremely serious consequences, I can try my best to protect the lord. The life of the king. The king handed down the list to my grandfather, and the reputation of the Jinyi Qi family spread all over the world, and therefore made the Jinyi Qi family great achievements. Therefore, in the eyes of the Jinyi Qi family, the king can be regarded as our Qi family. There is some kindness, and our brocade-clothed family repays our gratitude, and now when the prince is in danger, I can only try to save the prince’s life as much as possible.”
Li Hongxin stood up abruptly, with a gloomy killing intent on his face.
Qi Ning didn’t look at him, leaned on the chair, and said lightly: “After the prince sent the guards out of the mansion, the palace of the king of Shu has been surrounded, as long as I give a small signal, they will kill like a wolf like a tiger. Entering the Prince of Shu is an opportunity for them to establish merits, so the prince must not think that they will be soft-hearted. The prince is in the palace of Shu, and he has no strength to compete with me. When the prince handed down the table, it can be seen that he is a handsome man who knows the current affairs. , In this case, please still be able to keep up with the current affairs today.”
“Qining, good method!” Li Hongxin laughed angrily: “As expected of the Jinyi Qi family.”
Qi Ning said with a smile: “The prince is too famous. He is someone who has seen great winds and waves, I know that the lord is a big gamble this time, since the result has come out, the lord certainly knows how to bear the result.” He pointed at Ximen Hengye and said, “Give his head to me, and then the lord Went to Beijing with the head of Ximen Changshi, and took the head to plead guilty to the emperor. I believe that the emperor is a benevolent monarch and may really spare your life.”
Li Hongxin sighed and sat down slowly. Looking at Ximen Hengye, he smiled and said, “Ximen Changshi, Duke Protector wants to let this king take your head into the capital to plead guilty to Longtai, what do you think?”
“If the head of the subordinate can really save the king. Of course, the subordinates will immediately offer their heads.” Ximen Hengye sighed, “It’s a pity that the people of Chu are too afraid of the prince, and this time they finally found a reason, of course they won’t because of one of their subordinates. A head will really be lenient to the prince.”
Li Hongxin nodded and said, “This prince thinks the same way.” Looking at Qi Ning, he said: “Guo Huo, in fact, this prince is very strange, I don’t know. Can you help me with the answer?”
Qi Ning raised his hand and said, “Your Highness, please tell me!”
“I know that you let me into the capital, but it’s not that Longtai really gave you any advice.” Li Hongxin said, “I just want to. Force this king to take action, so you will have the right to deal with this king.”
Qi Ning sighed: “I know this is indeed a bit inauthentic, but the prince is deeply rooted in Xichuan. If you exist for a day, you will be a threat to the court for a day. The emperor has great ambitions. The Lord of Shengming, for the sake of the world, must destroy Qi Pinghan and finally rule the world, but to achieve this goal, the first thing is that the state of Chu itself cannot be chaotic. Looking at the state of Chu, there are not many people who can make the court jealous, but The lord
is of course one of them.”
Li Hongxin nodded slightly, and Qi Ning continued: “And the emperor’s ambition has already begun, the army is going north, but the emperor has always been worried that there will be problems in Xichuan, so if there is a way to take the prince The elimination of the threat here is of course beneficial to the emperor’s great cause, but it is also beneficial to the world.”
“You are young, and your eloquence is good.” Li Hongxin smiled lightly: “If you say this, even this king thinks he deserves to die. It’s
gone.”
Qi Ning said: “If the lord is a fish, Xichuan is the pond of the lord, and the fish will die without the water. If the lord leaves Xichuan, there will be no chance of a comeback, so we must force the lord to take action. There is only one way to let the lord leave Xichuan, I really have no other good way, please don’t take offense to the lord.”
Li Hong said: “It seems that the king used a substitute to go out of the city to sacrifice to his mother, and it has no effect on you?”
“” It has an impact.” Qi Ning said seriously: “I thought the prince was going to take the opportunity to leave, and I was thinking about whether it was necessary to dispatch people to contain the prince, but with this idea, I suddenly understood that I had such an idea, precisely because It is what the lord wants to see. The lord used the substitute to go out of the city. He originally wanted to attract my attention, and even let me deal with the soldiers and horses in my hand. Because of this, I am even more certain that the lord has already Ready to go.”
