[Chapter 1344 Eat my food and spit it out]

The old eunuch Yanmo sighed: “Every move Sima Lan takes is within the expectations of the prince, but to eradicate this person, the prince is actually asked to…!”

“If your father knows about me The plan will definitely be gratifying.” Xiao Shaozong’s eyes were deep and his expression solemn: “To deal with Sima Lan, only Xiao Guang can take action. I have been with Xiao Guang since I was a child, and I know that this person is very smart, such a person will never be He will allow Sima Lan to pose a threat to the imperial power, he will definitely find a way to get rid of Sima Lan, and the only force he needs to use is the Qi family.” He smiled lightly and said, “After Qi Jing passed away, I am still worried about Qi Family. The decline of the family is not enough to be Xiao Guang’s help. I didn’t expect that Qi Ning would come to the top, and this brocade-clothed Qi family has produced talents from generation to generation, but it has also helped me a lot.”

Yanmo said: “Sima Lan is aggressive, and the prince knows that Xiao Guang will not tolerate him. , but Xiao Guang was very calm and did not act rashly.”

“Xiao Guang did not act rashly, the reason is very simple, he did not understand the true strength of Sima Lan.” Xiao Shaozong said slowly: “The forces in the DPRK are complicated, it seems that many people They all defected to the Sima family, but most of them were forced to choose, Xiao Guang knew this, so he couldn’t see how powerful Sima Lan was in the court.” Leaning on the chair , said: “Knowing yourself and the enemy can help you win a hundred battles. Before Xiao Guang fully understands Sima Lan’s strength, he will

definitely

not act rashly.

It is manifested in times of crisis.” Yanmo said: “Without a bloody storm, Sima Lan’s strength will not be fully exposed.”

Xiao Shaozong sighed: “So the father wants to attack the imperial mausoleum. Although he knew that the possibility of success was slim, he did not stop him. At that time, the only person who could force Sima Lan out of the court was his father.” He closed his eyes and said, “To get rid of the Sima Clan, only I can make some sacrifices.”

“The old prince did not disappoint the prince.” Yanmo said: “Before and after the Emperor Mausoleum Incident, Sima Lan’s strength was indeed fully exposed, and Xiao Guang must have really figured it out at that time. Sima Lan’s strength.”

“The transformation of the imperial mausoleum is certainly the most beautiful time for Sima Lan, but it is also the time when they dig their own graves.” Xiao Shaozong said lightly: “Since Xiao Guang took the opportunity of the transformation of the imperial mausoleum to understand Sima Lan’s strength, he naturally You can start the layout in an orderly manner, otherwise how can Xiao Guang dare to act rashly?”

Yanmo laughed: “Xiao Guang naturally doesn’t know that all this is under the prince’s control, but secretly invites the prince to enter the palace to discuss countermeasures, and the prince also It happened to use Xiao Guang’s hand to kill Sima Lan.”

“In Xiao Guang’s eyes, after all, he and I are the blood of the royal family.” Xiao Shaozong said calmly: “And I am a dying person, use me to help him make plans. , there is no harm to him.” He sneered: “If he hadn’t known that I was terminally ill, I wouldn’t be here today.”

Yanmo said: “After the Sima Clan was exterminated, only Jinyi Qi was the only one among the four great hereditary candidates. The family can pose a threat to the prince.”

“The Qi family is more difficult than the Sima family.” Xiao Shaozong sighed: “It is not because the Qi family has a military background, but behind the Jinyi Qi family, there is a great master. .”

Yanmo clenched his fist when he heard the word “great master”, Xiao Shaozong glanced at his clenched fist, and calmly said: “It’s not difficult to kill Qi Ning, but who did it? That’s the hard thing. We don’t know the temperament of the great master known as the Sword God. If he still has an old relationship with the Qi family, of course we can’t kill Qi Ning by ourselves.” After thinking about it, he said: ” Jiang Mantian reported the news of the Dongqi man, which just happened to solve my problem. It

would be great to be able to use the Donghai Baiyun people to assassinate Qi Ning.”

“The Dongqi people know that the Donghai family is unwilling to the imperial court .

, so I went to instigate secretly.” Yanmo sneered: “He really underestimates Jiang Mantian, the Jiang family has been forbearing for many years, and dare not act rashly.

“You are wrong!” Xiao Shaozong shook his head: “If you think that the person from Dong Qi has such a simple mind, then you really underestimate him. If this person can find the East China Sea, he must have an eye in the East China Sea, and his The eyeliner is very good. At least the court and the local government did not notice any changes in the Donghai family, but this person could detect it. If they didn’t notice the Donghai family’s change, as a disciple of Baiyun Island, how could they easily find Shang Jiang Mantian? He seems to be Looking for Jiang Mantian, but his purpose is definitely not Jiang Mantian.”

Yanmo obviously did not follow Xiao Shaozong’s thoughts, Xiao Shaozong sighed: “What you said just now is not wrong, if there is no more than 50% certainty, Jiang Mantian would not agree. Acting rashly? He wants to bet on the lives of hundreds of members of the Donghai family. He will be cautious in any decision. Since you can see through this, doesn’t Mo Ying understand? He found Jiang Mantian casting weapons in the dark at sea. The world is planning a rebellion, and he must have understood at that time that Jiang Mantian has a backer behind him, and it is enough to make Jiang Mantian take the risk.”

Yanmo instantly understood: “The people from Dongqi went to Jiang Mantian, in fact, to catch up with the prince. Lines?”

“Island Master Baiyun seems to be out of the world and doesn’t ask about mortal matters, but if that’s the case, why would there be a disciple like Mo Ying?” Xiao Shaozong said with a disdainful smile, “The so-called pure heart and few desires are just a Because of the shackles of the Longshan Covenant, he cannot interfere in the affairs of the world, so he has an apprentice like Mo Ying, who came from the Shen family of Dong Qi and is a brother with Shen Tuluo. Such a person cannot abandon the world in his bones. Qi is between Chu and Han, and there is not a day that he does not want the strength of these two countries to be weakened. Of course, he hopes that the turmoil in the East China Sea will weaken the state of Chu, but when he realizes that there are people behind Jiang Mantian, he naturally hopes to be able to connect, hoping to cause Chu. The country will be even more chaotic.”

Yan Mo nodded and said: “I understand. The East China Sea chaos is only a corner of the chaos, but people who can control Jiang Mantian, once they make a move, will definitely turn the Chu country upside down.” He said with a strange laugh. “At least he didn’t guess this wrong. The prince can really turn the kingdom of Chu upside down by stomping his feet.” After a short pause, he said, “The prince finally sees him, don’t you worry that this person will betray the prince? The prince endured for many years and worked hard. , There are very few people who know that the prince is behind the scenes, if this person is…!”

“First of all, protecting my secrets is of greater benefit to him.” Xiao Shaozong simply said directly: “Secondly, he needs me, and I need him too.” After a moment of silence, he said, “I made a blood alliance with him back then. Most of the demands I made were within my expectations. I only had one condition for him, and for him, it was a very good deal.”

“The prince’s request is for him to assassinate the Qi family. ”

I just asked him to help me kill a Chu countryman, and I told him that he would never be a great master.” Xiao Shaozong said: “I didn’t tell him his name at that time, just said that he would wait until one day when he needed to do something. , he can’t refuse.”

“That’s why the lord sent him to assassinate Qi Ning this time, it was already planned a few years ago.” Yanmo sighed: “Assassination of Qi Ning, as long as Baiyun Island is involved, that If Sword God wants to make a move, he has to think about Island Master Baiyun.” Then he sneered: “But this person did not succeed as planned, that is to say, the conditions of the king’s transaction with him have not been completed, and the king and him Of course, the blood alliance doesn’t exist.”

“He seems to have forgotten.” Xiao Shaozong sighed: “He thought I could get to where I am today, and he put in a lot of effort. I promised him the promise, but it was all about important things. It can only be performed after it is successful, so he very much hoped that I could sit on that chair earlier. For this reason, when Xiao Guang was envoy to Dong Qi to return to China, he arbitrarily proposed to send those Dongying ninjas to assassinate Xiao Guang in the middle of the road. , I thought that Xiao Guang was dead, and I would be able to sit on the chair soon.” He shook his head and said, “Although he didn’t succeed, he even asked me for credit afterwards, and it seems that he has already made a great contribution.” His eyes sharpened, like a blade. : “Fortunately it didn’t work out, otherwise it would have ruined my major event.”

Yan Mo pondered for a while before saying, “Your Highness, if you really killed Xiao Guang at that time, it would seem that you would really be very fond of Your Highness. It is beneficial, once Xiao Guang dies, the old prince becomes the only heir to the throne, and you are the only heir to the old prince, this…!”

“If Xiao Guang really dies, the country of Chu will be in chaos.” Xiao Shaozong said coldly, “The Sima Clan had already taken control of the capital at that time, and Sima Lan had been incompatible with his father Wang from the very beginning, and the Jinyi family, these gang Everyone knows in their hearts that if their father takes the throne, their good days will come to an end. Do you think that even if Xiao Guang really died, these people would really be willing to let their father take the throne? The first person who refused to agree was Sima Lan, he was in control of the court and the capital. Naturally, it was impossible for his father to ascend the throne smoothly, and he might even persuade the Qi family to block his father’s ascension to the throne. Qi Jing had just passed away at that time, and the Qi family still had enough influence on the Qinhuai Army. A cold light flashed in his eyes: “Don’t forget, Xue Lingfeng, the commander of the Tiger God Camp, has always been a member of the Qi family. Although he usually does not have much contact with the Qi family, I can guarantee that once the Qi family once Xue Lingfeng will never sit back and ignore anything that happens, and with three thousand tigers in his hands, he can immediately become a sword in the hands of the Qi family.”

Yanmo’s pupils shrank slightly, and said, “So, that Dong Qi The assassination of Xiao Guang really almost ruined the prince’s affairs.”

“If this is the situation, it will be very difficult for me to have a chance to regain everything that belongs to me.” Xiao Shaozong said coldly, “What I want is the current situation, My things must be returned to me, and everything I owe will be returned to me bit by bit.”
