Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 136 Reasons to believe

The boss of Zuimenglou was dead. He was stabbed through the chest with a sword. Even though Zuimenglou deliberately concealed it, the news spread throughout Daliang City the next day.

On the contrary, the assassination incident that occurred in the Prince's Mansion was silent. Not even a trace of news leaked out, but was there really no movement?

"Does Prince Zeng really believe that Lord Xinling sent someone to assassinate him?" In the inn, Yingge, who was serving breakfast, asked Yang Ming curiously.

"Yes." Yang Ming picked up a piece of pancake and said.

"I have heard some news before. There are many differences between Prince Zeng and Lord Xinling, but they have not reached the point of incompatibility. An assassin assassinated him, and he took the initiative to expose his own details. If Prince Zeng is a smart As a human being, you should be able to see the clues." Ying Ge hesitated.

"That's just a should, not a necessity. Prince Zeng is also a human being. As a human being, it is impossible to be absolutely rational. The special ability that can be called miraculous in killing is not the art of disguise. It is from personality to memory and martial arts. With the ability to perfectly devour everything, he is the real man in black. Faced with the sudden backstab from his 'disciple', Prince Zeng has only two choices, either to believe it or not to believe it. If he believes it, he will take the initiative to attack. What if he doesn't believe it? What will happen if he doesn't believe it? Does he dare to bet on the cost of his misjudgment? " Yang Mingdao.

"Although he would doubt, he had to believe it because he didn't know the special ability to kill. He didn't dare not believe it because he couldn't afford the cost of misjudgment. He didn't want to disbelieve it because he had already had a disagreement with Lord Xinling. He, but he has never been able to find a reason to take action, and now he has enough reasons. Now, he can contact his own people and even ask King Wei to support him." Yang Ming continued.

"It's so complicated." Ying Ge shook his head and said as if he had a headache.

"Think carefully, you will encounter a lot of things like this in the future, but you need to get used to it earlier." Yang Ming reminded.

Yingge, Yang Ming wants to train her to be his assistant in the trap, so naturally she needs to be trained well.

In the Prince's Mansion, Wei Yong was invited here early in the morning by people from the Prince's Mansion.

"Prince, who are you?" When Wei Yong came to the prince's residence and saw the pale-faced prince Zeng, he had a vague suspicion.

"I met an assassin last night. I was slightly injured, but I'm fine." The prince asked his confidants to bring a cushion for Wei Yong.

"Who dared to come and assassinate you, the crown prince, after eating a bear's heart and a leopard?" Wei Yong asked carefully.

"There are many people in Daliang City, and there are also many brave people, but there are not many people who are brave and have the means." Prince Zeng said coldly.

Wei Yong's heart sank when he heard this, because in Daliang City, there are really not many people who have the courage and ability to assassinate the prince of a country. Knowing such a secret may not be a good thing for him. .

Fortunately, Wei Yong was a real old fox. Although there was a storm in his heart, he remained calm on the surface, and Prince Zeng couldn't see anything.

"Although Gu was slightly injured in the hands of that assassin, it was not without gain. In order to get close to Gu, the assassin exposed an extremely important piece of news." The prince added.

"What news?" Wei Yong asked cooperatively.

"My father is in ill health, and Lord Xinling has taken action," the prince added.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xinling?" Wei Yong's eyes narrowed, and he could no longer hide his true emotions when looking at Prince Zeng.

What if something unexpected happens to King Wei, and the throne is vacant, between the Crown Prince and Lord Xinling?

The main reason why Lord Xinling missed the throne back then was that he was too young at that time and could not compete with his brother. But now Lord Xinling is different. If he wants to compete with Prince Zeng for the throne, Prince Zeng will really He may not win, even if he is the prince.

"The assassin is from Lord Xinling. Does Mr. Wei know what this means?" the prince asked.

"I know, but what does His Highness the Crown Prince mean?" Wei Yong asked. Although he had almost guessed the purpose of the Crown Prince's visit to him, he would not let go so quickly if he wanted to get enough things.

"I need your help, Mr. Wei." The prince said.

"Prince, although I want to help, I don't have much power in my hands." Wei Yong was confused.

"If Mr. Wei can help the orphan ascend to the throne, the position of general must belong to Mr. Wei." The prince added, he found Wei Yong not because he was ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry, but because he had sufficient considerations.

Wei Yong, in the Wei Kingdom, is one of the few people with both civil and military skills. The power in his hands is not small, and the surrounding forces are even more intricate. More importantly, Wei Yong has always coveted military power, but Lord Xinling and Zhu Hai blocked him. his way.

"Your Highness, I am not a person who covets power." Wei Yong said righteously.

"I know what Mr. Wei is like, but Wei Wuzu is an important tool for the founding of our country. We cannot leave it in the hands of people like Lord Xinling and Zhu Hai who put their own interests above the interests of the country." , This is not for personal power, but for the safety of Wei State." Prince Zeng said solemnly.

"This?" Wei Yong showed hesitation.

"For the sake of the State of Wei, please help me, Lord Wei." The prince asked.

"Your Highness, you are trying to disgrace me. But you also know that although I have the name of Sikong, my power is really limited. How can I fight against Lord Xinling? Besides, Lord Xinling is famous all over the world and is the most favored one." With regard to his own reputation, would such a person really be regarded as someone who conspired to usurp the throne?" Wei Yong still refused to let go.

"Master Wei, although Gu has already had a crown prince, she has been nowhere to be seen since getting married. This is not a big problem now. If Gu ascends the throne, this issue will involve the country's foundation." The prince met Wei Zeng. Yong still didn't take the bait, so he could only increase his chips.

"What do you mean by His Highness the Crown Prince?" Wei Yong was more interested.

"The Crown Princess is the daughter of Zhao Guozong. It is related to the diplomatic relations between Wei and Zhao. It should not be touched lightly. However, if Gu Ruo ascends the throne, she can still have three wives. I heard that Master Wei's daughter is only twenty-nine years old, so she is suitable for marriage. At that age, if Mr. Wei is willing, he will take Mr. Wei's daughter as his wife when the time comes. If she can give birth to an heir, she will be made a prince." Prince Zeng gave his last bargaining chip.

"Although I am overestimating my ability to be an enemy of Lord Xinling, but for the sake of the country of Wei, I am willing to give it a try." Wei Yong relented. He had already obtained the maximum benefit for himself, and naturally there was no reason to play with it anymore.

"I will never fail to fulfill my promise." Prince Zeng said solemnly.

Wei Yong returned to his mansion with worries. Although the conditions proposed by Prince Zeng were really tempting, it was precisely because they were so tempting that there would be more difficulties involved. Lord Xinling's power in Wei was hard to describe. Then It is no longer just a force on the surface, but also represents a kind of human heart.

Lord Xinling's influence is really too great, and there are too many people willing to work for him, from important officials in the court to traffickers and lackeys, there is no shortage of such people.

The power in the court is clear, and if we really want to fight against it, it's easy to say, but the power in the dark outside the court is a big problem. Can they deal with those strange people?

For a moment, Wei Yong frowned. As time went by, Wei Yong's frown gradually expanded, and a figure appeared in his mind: Luo Sheng.

Maybe it works?

Wei Yong thought about it, and the thoughts in his heart became deeper and deeper. The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt. There were many masters in the net. Even if the Wei State had unanimously cleared it before, the net had not been completely wiped out. If he could now Cooperating with him can be a weapon against Lord Xinling.

However, Luowang is also a master who will not let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit. If he can't come up with enough conditions to make them excited, they can't be asked to take action.

Wei Yong thought and hesitated for a moment.

During the time when Wei Yong returned to his mansion, Prince Zeng also came to the Palace of Wei, wanting to deal with Lord Xinling. Even though he was the Crown Prince of Wei, he was unable to do so. If he wanted to establish his own advantage, he would need the support of King Wei. Also indispensable.

After seeing Queen Wei, Prince Zeng carefully observed a little more. Although King Wei didn't seem to have changed much, Prince Zeng didn't know if it was because of preconceptions, but he still saw something abnormal.

For example, Long Yangjun, who was serving King Wei, did have a gloomy look on his beautiful eyebrows like a charming girl.

“Mr.

"Father, my confidant has been in the palace for several years, but he suddenly rebelled. Apart from Lord Xinling, I really can't think of anyone else who can have such great power." Prince Zeng never expected that he would come to ask for help. I actually got such a sentence.

"Although Lord Xinling has many problems, he still doesn't know how to usurp the throne. Have you ever thought about why it can't be a last resort for the enemy?" King Wei asked in return.

"Father, Lord Xinling is not that simple. Have you forgotten what happened back then?" Prince Zeng was a little anxious.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Go back and recover from your injuries." King Wei said firmly.

For a moment, Prince Zeng felt a coldness in his heart, followed by great fear.

What on earth was his father, King Wei, thinking? Could it be that he was abandoned?

"Yes." Prince Zeng, who was already dominated by inexplicable fear, replied cautiously, and a certain idea in his heart became more determined.

Looking at the back of Prince Zeng leaving, King Wei's face instantly turned pale. There was indeed a serious problem with his body and it would be difficult for him to live through this year. He had to make arrangements for many things in advance.

For example, in the case of Xinling Lord Wei Wuji, King Wei had too many reasons to be on guard against his younger brother, and sometimes it was not just a matter of being a gentleman that could dispel all doubts.

In the past, he was only afraid of his younger brother Wei Wuji, but after the incident of stealing the talisman to save Zhao, this fear has become a real thing.

His harem was infiltrated and his army was easily controlled. This was something that a king could never tolerate.

Thinking of his beloved concubine who was willing to risk her own life to steal the military talisman for Wei Wuji, thinking of his trusted general who was killed, and thinking of the fact that after Jin Bi died, Wei had no general available and was constantly being bullied by Qin, so much so that he had to put down his face. King Wei couldn't control the anger in his heart when he asked for help.

Especially now that he doesn't have much time, he can't guarantee whether his son will be able to suppress Wei Wuji. He himself is not very confident, let alone his own son.

Some things are better done by me. My dear brother, going with me is also a good solution for you. I can’t leave you to the prince. No matter whether the assassination this time is yours or not, I can't leave you to the prince, he can't suppress you.

Maybe you are not wrong, but neither are I. The only thing wrong is that you have the ability to overthrow the throne.

This infamy should be borne by me. Before I leave, I will leave the prince a clean Wei State. King Wei pondered, his face getting paler.
