The two hundred and fortieth chapter will be assassinated
Wei Wuji quickly found Lian Po. Lian Po was a little afraid of Wei Wuji, either because he was afraid of anything else, or because Wei Wuji came to him to drink. Lian Po had never seen such a drinkable person. Lian Po was almost unable to find him. Wei Wuji could still smile and continue drinking until dawn. Lian Po felt that he could drink more, but in front of Wei Wuji, Lian Po did not dare to speak. When Wei Wuji pulled him to drink for three days and three nights, Lian Po almost quit drinking...
It wasn't Wei Wuji who deliberately made things difficult for him, but Lian Po was one of the few people who could accompany Wei Wuji to have fun, so Wei Wuji pulled Lian Po to drink. Lian Po looked at Wei Wuji, who was full of alcohol in front of him, with a little alert and was ready in his heart. As long as he dared to talk about drinking, he would say that he had quit drinking. Just when he was ready, Wei Wuji suddenly said: "Ma Fuzi is the son of Yiren, the prince of Qin. He left Zhao State and adopted his son because Ma Fujun adopted him."
Lian Po was stunned. He didn't know why Wei Wuji talked about this. He thought for a while before saying, "I understand."
"This matter has been known by the Lord Long Yang of Wei. He asked me to stop attacking Wei State, otherwise, I would tell King Zhao about this matter."
"Xinling Jun, this matter cannot be concealed, and Shangjun will know sooner or later."
"I know, but we, even Ma Fujun, can tell the King of Zhao personally, that is, outsiders cannot tell the King of Zhao."
"I understand what you mean."
"Mr. Long Yang wants me to dissuade the war. This is to make Shangjun mistakenly think that I favor Wei and make him no longer trust me. Therefore, I cannot personally propose to Shangjun. It is better for you to complete this matter." Lian Po nodded? He said again: "The State of Zhao has captured two cities of Wei. It is not impossible to stop the war now? If you insist on destroying Wei? This is not a good thing to displeased the princes of Wei and other countries."
"The envoy of Yan State Jiang Qu? I suspect that he had another purpose when he came to Zhao State? I will ask him to discuss matters between Zhao State and Yan State? Please be prepared and keep a close eye on his disciples."
"only!"
.........
The next day, Lian Po proposed to King Zhao: Stop the attack on Wei State to avoid quarrel with Wei and Chu countries? King Zhao was already a little shaken? He heard Lian Po’s proposal at this moment, so he naturally agreed to this matter. When he called Long Yang Jun and told him that Zhao State would stop attacking, Long Yang Jun was very happy? He kept toasting King Zhao and flattering King Zhao’s wisdom? King Zhao laughed loudly and prepared to hold another banquet to celebrate.
As expected, Long Yangjun did not talk to King Zhao about anything about horse coquettish.
This made Wei Wuji, who had been staring at him in the air, calmed down? Jiang Qu was also at this banquet, sitting next to Wei Wuji? He smiled and chatted with Wei Wuji about the affairs of the two countries. Wei Wuji's goal was actually always on Yan State? If Zhao State had to find an expansion target, it would be Yan State. Wei State's strength was not inferior to Zhao State. Although Wei State did not have a decent general, Xinling Jun was a native of Wei after all, and would not focus his expansionary gaze on Wei State.
Han was very weak, even weaker than Yan, but he had just joined Qin and became a subordinate of Qin. If Zhao attacked Han, it would definitely trigger a showdown between Qin and Zhao. If there was no Wei, Chu would come to help Zhao, Zhao would not be the opponent of Qin... Therefore, the goal was naturally to fall on Yan. Yan itself was weak and Qin could not interfere. Moreover, Zhao did not need to do its own efforts. As long as Li Mu led the knights from the frontier to attack Yan, Wei Wuji and his soldiers would block Qin, and Yan would have no way to survive.
What's more, Qi State has a grudge against Yan State, Zhao State may be able to get help from Qi State.
When Tian Dan arrived at Zhao State, he was unwilling to do anything, but when Zhao State wanted to attack Yan State, the Qi people still came forward and defeated tens of thousands of soldiers in Yan State in one battle and directly captured several cities. He forced Yan State to bow his head. Wei Wuji even suspected that if Zhao State was preparing to attack Yan State again, Tian Dan might be willing to help. Therefore, Wei Wuji opposed the idea of Yan State's desire to seek peace.
However, he did not reveal his inner thoughts. He just smiled and talked enthusiastically with Jiangqu about the withdrawal of the border soldiers on both sides. The uninformed people looked at them, probably thinking that Zhao and Yan were really going to stop the war and shake hands and make peace. Jiangqu looked very happy. In his opinion, if Yan wants to become strong, he naturally needs to stabilize his relations with several surrounding countries, consolidate his territory outside the border, and silently increase his strength.
Just as the banquet was about to end, Long Yangjun said to King Zhao: "This time, the two sides were able to fulfill their agreement, thanks to Xinlingjun. Xinlingjun is in Zhao and Pingyuanjun is in Wei. The two countries will definitely maintain friendly relations... I heard that Ma Fujun founded a school in Handan, and wise men from all over the world heard of his reputation and made an appointment to come to Zhao State. The warriors were competing to become his disciples..."
"I have to congratulate you on this. With so many talented people gathered in the horse suit, you will no longer have to worry about no one under your command."
"Before leaving, I want to visit Ma Fujun and give me the gifts I prepared."
The smile on King Zhao's face froze, especially when Long Yangjun mentioned the wise men in the horse suit, because so far, none of the wise men gathered in the horse suit were willing to serve Zhao State, and some even scolded the envoy sent by King Zhao, threatening that he would stay in Zhao State just for the wise men. This made King Zhao feel very uncomfortable. Long Yangjun's words immediately made King Zhao even more angry.
King Zhao did not even try to keep Longyang Jun and let him leave.
At the end of the banquet, Wei Wuji held Jiang Qu's hand, and the two walked out of the palace with a smile. They had just walked out of the palace and got on the carriage. "Swoosh~~", and only heard a sound of breaking through the air. Wei Wuji bent down suddenly and heard someone screaming in the distance. The warriors ran and were extremely noisy. When Wei Wuji looked behind him, he saw a warrior in Yan blocking Jiang Qu, with crossbow arrows inserted behind him, and laying on the ground.
Wei Wuji hurriedly walked forward, and the warriors guarding the palace shouted. Dong Chengzi quickly rushed over with his soldiers and prepared to arrest him. Jiang Qu looked very scared and was trembling all over. He looked at the body of the warrior of Yan State lying in front of him, his face full of pain. Wei Wuji hurriedly bent down and looked at the corpse in front of him, especially the arrow inserted behind him.
"This is a powerful crossbow of South Korea..." Wei Wuji analyzed, but Jiang Qu was far away from Wei Wuji and asked cautiously: "What do you mean: The Koreans come to Handan to assassinate me?" Wei Wuji raised his head and looked at Jiang Qu who was obviously wary of him. He was not surprised. In Handan, he was the most opposed to peace talks with Yan State. In other words, assassinating Jiang Qu is in his interests, and Jiang Qu will inevitably think too much.
"If I want to kill you, you will not be able to enter Handan City at all." Wei Wuji said, then he stood up and looked around the surroundings. The guards around the palace were very strict. It was difficult to carry a powerful crossbow and assassinate here. The surroundings were empty areas. Anyone who dared to approach this would arouse the warriors' alert. This is a very bad assassination place, and he wanted to kill Jiang Qu.
There are many opportunities, why do you need to assassinate here?
Wei Wuji quickly started thinking, perhaps the assassin's purpose was not to kill Jiang Qu, but to have other ideas? To destroy Zhao Yan's peace talks? But who are the people in Handan City who are so opposed to peace talks? In addition to himself, there are Lian Po, Le Jian, and Tian Dan... Wei Wuji quickly started thinking in his mind. If the Qin people wanted to kill Jiang Qu and destroy the relationship between the two countries, wouldn't it be better to kill Jiang Qu directly?
Choosing a dangerous place like the royal palace failed in the end, which was not like the style of the Qin people.
Is it someone who wants to attract everyone's attention and then do what?
Just as Wei Wuji was thinking, Dong Chengzi finally came here panting. He hurriedly sent someone to search the surroundings and inquire about the situation related to Jiangqu. Looking at Jiangqu with a sad face, Wei Wuji suddenly thought again. Could this be done by Jiangqu himself? But what did he want? The people in Zhao who prefer peace talks accounted for the vast majority... Just when Wei Wuji was in deep thought, Dong Chengzi suddenly stood in front of him.
"Xinling Jun..." Dong Chengzi said seriously.
"Hmm?" Wei Wuji was interrupted and looked at Dong Chengzi with some confusion, and then asked, "What did you find?"
"I want to ask you, do you have anything to do with this assassination?"
Wei Wuji suddenly laughed, and he said, "I understand." As he said, he was about to turn around and leave, but Dong Chengzi's soldiers hurriedly surrounded him. Dong Chengzi looked at him with a solemn face and said, "You have a major suspicion. As I know, there are many Han crossbows in your home. Can I go with you to see your mansion?"
"Can."
When Dong Chengzi followed Wei Wuji into the courtyard, Wei Wuji's disciples all felt the wrong atmosphere and held the short swords at their waists. Xinlingjun shook his head and told them not to take action. Then he took Dong Chengzi into his arsenal. Wei Wuji did hide a batch of weapons, but this was legal because these weapons were rewarded by King Zhao.
In order to prevent Wei Wuji from leaving Zhao, King Zhao rewarded Xinling Jun with horses, bows, crossbows, swords and so on to reward him with his bravery after the last rebellion. When Dong Chengzi followed Wei Wuji into the arsenal, he saw the powerful crossbows placed on the table at a glance. It was indeed all exquisite Han crossbows. The so-called Han crossbows did not refer to the crossbows made by South Korea, but the first crossbow made by the Koreans, and later imitated by various countries.
The Qin people even developed more powerful crossbows based on it.
Among the rows of powerful crossbows, a vacant position appeared, and the powerful crossbow on it was gone. Wei Wuji looked at the position and smiled bitterly. He looked at Dong Chengzi beside him and asked seriously: "Do you believe I will use the weapons in my arsenal to assassinate the envoy of Yan State?" Dong Chengzi frowned. He didn't say anything. After thinking for a moment, he spoke; "Because of my friend's identity, I am willing to believe you."
"But because of Si Kou's identity, I must tell Shangjun about this matter. Please don't blame me. I am not qualified to interrogate a Fengjun, but I cannot ignore this matter, because I am Si Kou of Zhao, and the laws of Zhao cannot be trampled on."
"When Ma Fujun killed someone... that's not what you said..."
Dong Chengzi blushed and said, "Ma Fujun has the power to make a judgment in his fief, not to mention that the criminal chooses to resist. In this case, Ma Fujun implements the judgment, which is in line with the law. I can show you the written law..."
"I am not questioning your verdict, I just said casually." Xinlingjun shook his head, he looked around and looked at everything around him seriously. He said, "If it weren't for my disciples betray me, then Long Yangjun stole them. During these days, only Long Yangjun has come to my mansion. I suspect that he wants to limit me and then achieve his own goals. Please be careful."
Dong Chengzi nodded.
After being assassinated by Jiangqu and a samurai in Yan State died, the entire Handan was immediately blocked and was not allowed to enter and exit. Dong Chengzi personally took people to investigate. Xinling Jun had been issued a restriction order by him and was not allowed to leave the mansion. Similarly, there was Jiangqu. Dong Chengzi sent someone to protect Jiangqu, and even Longyang Jun who was preparing to visit Zhao Kuo, was surrounded by Dong Chengzi. Dong Chengzi told him that this was for his safety.
Mr. Long Yang didn't say much.
King Zhao was very angry. Such a thing happened in front of his palace gate? He called Dong Chengzi to the palace and gave him ten days. Within ten days, the real murderer must be caught, otherwise, Dong Chengzi's Siko position would be removed.
Dong Chengzi first searched for the assassin, then investigated Xinling Jun, Long Yang Jun and others. It took three or four days, but found nothing. He could not even confirm whether the crossbow that assassinated Jiangqu was the one that disappeared from Wei Wuji's house. The assassin was missing. The warriors guarding the palace did not see anyone approaching here... Dong Chengzi judged the position of the assassin according to the trauma behind the disciple... But he was surprised to find that the crossbow arrow seemed to be shot from the direction of the palace.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that I assassinate the envoy of Yan State?!"
When King Zhao heard Dong Chengzi's analysis, he was furious and scolded Dong Chengzi again and drove him out.
Dong Chengzi originally wanted to investigate the palace, but he did not get the consent of King Zhao at all. Dong Chengzi could only judge that the assassin was one of the warriors guarding the palace, or he mingled among them, shot and killed them quickly, and fled into the palace. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to disappear without a trace in such a short time. Why did the warriors guarding the palace deny that they saw the assassin?
Poor Dong Chengzi's hair fell one by one, but he had no idea.
