The Great Doorway of Daoism

Chapter 93



Hongshi's plan was a great success.

First of all, he used the power of Xia Zi's acting director to mobilize 50 of the most elite Samurai ninjas in Wenlan to gather in nangu.

This is a plan to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, use force and kill two birds with one stone.

First, everyone knows that he is hostile to Japan. No matter how to trace it later, he will not doubt that he instigated the assassination from the Fusang samurai.

Second, of course, he would not spare the lives of ninjas, so Xia Zi issued a suicide attack order.

In this battle, the whole army of the 50 elite ninjas did their best and did not return for life. Although the imperial Lin army paid the price of nearly 200 deaths and injuries, Japan suffered heavy losses after the collapse of the samurai regiment to be ridden by Panasonic.

Third, it directly led to the death of the great prince Hongjian, and the competition for political enemies. This account will be counted on the Japanese, which can arouse the common hatred of the whole country and lay the foundation for the subsequent war against the Japanese.

Secondly, he expected that the old emperor Yu Li and Yu Qing should meet with the special envoy of the Heng Dynasty, so he paid a lot of money to buy the Chamberlain in the palace and found out the time and place in advance.

This is the first opportunity of the enemy and the victory of intelligence and money.

As the commander in chief of the army, Hong Shi naturally knows the importance of information. He didn't put effective ears and eyes in the palace before, but it doesn't hinder buying with money and killing afterwards.

Later, he ordered the Ninjas to secretly dig a secret road from a civilian house near the palace day and night through Xia Zi, which led to the Palace Banquet Hall. He surveyed the terrain in advance and made careful plans and arrangements for concealment and raid.

This is a way for people to do their best, surprise and win more with less. It takes advantage of the fact that the ground of the palace is closely guarded, but the protection is not as comprehensive as the imperial officials. It gives full play to the advantages of Ninja's multi ability and good at latent assassination, and launches attacks from the weak places underground.

At the same time, we have fully implemented the intention of attacking East and West, fighting more and fishing in troubled waters.

First, send someone to block the gate to form a local population advantage in a short time.

Then attack Zhao Lingyu first. If you succeed, the special envoy will die in Wenlan, which will destroy the alliance between the two countries. If you fail, you can also distract the guard's attention and defense.

In reality, Zhao Lingyu's guards were dead and injured. If Dai Luosi was not on the side, Zhao Lingyu would not be spared.

After that, it focused on assassinating the old emperor. It was not successful. It was aimed at disturbing the situation, attracting the forbidden army and creating favorable conditions for attacking and killing Hong.

In the end, sure enough, in addition to Hongjian's personal guard, the incoming imperial guards did not pay attention to and protect Hongjian, resulting in the death of the eldest prince under the desperate siege of many Ninja masters.

One more thing, Hong Shi himself actively escorted him and pretended to be injured by a knife in the fight, making enough impression in front of the old emperor and his ministers.

In addition, there is an unexpected harvest. After the old emperor was frightened, his physical condition deteriorated sharply. Once there was a trend of death, the eldest prince was dead, the third prince was dead, and the eighth prince was abolished. Among the other six princes, only Hong Shi could be of great use. With the support of the Empress Dowager and the echo of the military and persuaded officials, Hong Shi won the line and even ascended the throne.

Late that night, Wang Shi, who helped deal with the aftermath of the assassination in the waterside pavilion of the palace and returned to the palace for recuperation on the pretext of injury, told hualanting the details of the above-mentioned scheme.

Hua Lanting and Hong Shi touched their glasses with Xia Zi and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

It was an accidental act to meet Hong Shi and help him to the top. I didn't think there was a gully in Hong Shi's chest. I could have this plan in a short time. This action plan was well planned, used a knife to kill people and killed people with one stone, which demonstrated Hong Shi's extraordinary talent.

In particular, the skill of digging tunnels enables 50 assassins to complete the assassination task under the protection of thousands of royal guards. It has the charm of light sword walking in martial arts, no thick into space and pulling a thousand pounds in four or two.

However, Hua Lanting was also afraid that his lack of participation almost led to Zhao Lingyu's death.

He can hardly understand his position. It is said that Zhao Lingyu and Dai Luosi are hostile to him. If the two women die, they are only good for the dust Dynasty. It seems that he cares about their safety.

Xia Zi knelt over with a wine pot in her hand and filled it up again. Hua Lanting drank it casually and stayed for a while. Then he asked Hong Shi:

"Within three days, when Hong night's skin turns blue and blue, it is the time for him to die. At that time, he will mix the foot stone. What will the king do behind him?"

Hong Shi's face suddenly became ferocious and said word by word: "of course, birds are full of bows and hides, and rabbits die and foxes are sad."

"What?" Hua Lanting was shocked and suddenly felt abdominal colic, dizziness in the brain, fatigue and loss of internal power!

No! This is an image of poisoning. Hua Lanting was just about to get up. There was a click from the seat. His wrists and ankles had been fastened by the stretched steel hoop and could not break free.

Xia Zi, who was next to her, jumped over, turned in the air and ran into hualanting's arms. Her hands had touched a short sword from her thigh, and a sword stabbed into her lower abdomen. The short sword popped up a quiet blue sword tip in her abdomen again, and went out from her back and plunged into hualanting's abdomen!

Hua Lanting only came and reluctantly retracted his belly, but the sword tip still entered the meat and brought out blood.

Looking at Xia Zi, who had died in his arms after being poisoned again, Hua Lanting understood, kept himself awake and looked opposite: "Hong Shi, you are despicable. Kill people so soon!"

Hong Shi didn't answer. He waved and retreated at the same time. There was a team of royal palace guards around, including armored sergeants, who surrounded Hualan court with a knife.

Hua Lanting was very anxious and his heart was cool. He could use two kinds of poison to kill himself. He could drive the poison and save himself as long as he was given time, but now he can't move and can only be slaughtered.

Careless!

I thought he and Hongshi were in the same camp for the time being. I didn't expect him to be so vicious. Before the event was finally successful, he killed himself and Xia Zi.

No one can hurt a hair with his martial arts. I don't want to die here tonight. It's true that people are separated from each other. I don't know anything about the world.

I can't help sighing in my heart: Hua Lanting, Hua Lanting, you are still young. Although you know that people's intentions are evil and worse than poisons, you are not fortified enough due to experience. Knowing that Hong Shi is wise and embarked on the road of striving for storage, your mentality has become more and more deep and gloomy. You are still negligent in prevention and even fall into the calculation.

It's just that you can't die anyway. If you return to the original world, you can see the impermanence of human nature. You haven't experienced it in vain.

Looking at the closer and closer guard with a knife, hualanting was sad and helpless in his heart. He closed his eyes to die. This taste is really not good.

Hong Shi's palms were sweating at this time, and he secretly said that he was lucky. He knows the strength of hualanting, and this design is also very risky.

Xia Zi still had half a bottle of the medicine he used at that time in his hand. He put it in a wine pot. The wine pot is a secret object in the palace. It is divided into two parts. The liquor flowing out of different holes is different.

They always drank normal wine until the last time they poured it to hualanting. Hualanting was distracted and didn't pay attention to this detail. Later, the restraint of the seat and Xia Zi's suicide abdominal Poison Sword finally made hualanting fall into the dice.

He knew that the medicine didn't seal his throat with blood, and he also put heding red on the dagger. Even so, Hong Shi is not sure that he can poison Hua Lanting on the spot, but as long as he can't do it for a while, his guards and sergeants can end his life.

It's almost a success. No matter how high your martial arts are, it's no match for scheming and resourcefulness. This is Hong Shi's consistent understanding.

But he missed one thing. Few people in the world can calculate it accurately, that is luck!

At the desperate moment of hualanting, a masked man fell from the top of the waterside pavilion. A silver thin sword in his hand shook out all kinds of light balls. The guards of the Royal Palace, including the heavily armored soldiers, stood wounded and fell down.

The visitor fired four fireballs in succession, burning the connection between the steel hoop and the seat at hualanting's hands and feet. While waving a sword to resist the guard's attack, he picked up hualanting and left after the steel hoop fell off.

Hong Shi was already angry and tried his best to command his men to attack and chase.

His own martial arts are not weak, but once he has the heart of literary beauty in Junlin, he doesn't want to take the lead as before. Although he knows that he will face greater danger if he leaves hualanting, he hesitates and doesn't come forward in person.

With such hesitation, the masked man threw out several smoke bombs, killed several guards with a silver sword, and rushed out of the palace with Hua Lanting, which was beyond the reach of the army.

Hua Lanting could not move, but he was still awake. At the sight of the familiar silver sword, photosphere and smoke bomb, he knew that the visitor was Dai Luosi, the daughter of the Hun king. He didn't know the reason and how to face it for a moment. He simply pretended to be in a coma and let Dai Luosi escape with him.

Thanks to Zhao Lingyu.

Zhao Lingyu is not familiar with martial arts, but she has an ability to be sensitive to smell since childhood. She never forgets any strange smell. This ability is only known to her.

On the same day, Zhao Lingyu recognized Hua Lanting during the samurai competition under the prince in the military field of the small school.

She didn't say anything at that time and told Delos when she came back. Since then, Dai Luosi disguised as a night detective to Wang Shi's mansion every night. She didn't see hualanting go in and out for several days. She didn't see hualanting until today. Later, she saw that the situation was wrong, so she killed in time and saved hualanting from Shengtian.

Out of the palace, Dai Luosi did not dare to take Hua Lanting back to the palace, so she had to go through the lane and cross the wall to a folk house she temporarily rented for the exploration house these days.

She went into the house and put down Hua Lanting. Seeing that he looked like gold paper, her breath was urgent and her heart was worried. She knew that Hua Lanting was poisoned. Although she knew some medical skills, she could not judge the source of the poison.

Dai Luosi touched Hua Lanting's hot forehead and said to himself with a crying voice: "smelly boy, bad guy, I didn't expect to see you again. Tomorrow is someone else's birthday. Are you going to walk away like this after bullying me? Just go. If you go, can you not die like this!"

Stamp your feet. You can't cure yourself. You must go back to find Zhao Lingyu first. It may be too late, so you dodge out of the house.

In the palace, Zhao Lingyu was more worried than her. After a little thought, he took the accompanying medical officer and several guards and followed Dai Luosi to the people's house.

Leave outsiders to wait outside the house first. Zhao Lingyu and Dai Luosi go in and have a look. There is no one in the bed and no trace of hualanting.

There was a note on the table, which scribbled: the poison is hard for me. The grace of saving lives will be reported later. Don't read.

Dai Luosi patted the table and said angrily, "he's very angry. He dares to lie to me! People saved him and he won't even meet him! What's not to read? Did I miss him, aunt?"

Zhao Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Dai Luosi: "it's good that people are all right. He has cultivated all kinds of accomplishments. He won't suffer any losses in the future. Let's go back to inquire about the news and make suggestions."

Hua Lanting is no better than Hong Shi. The medicine and heding Hong that made Hong Shi sleep all night were temporarily suppressed in his body with supreme internal power after Dai Luosi left. Although they had an impact, they did not hinder his action.

In the waterside pavilion of Yanping palace, Hong Shi sits alone.

In the shadow, hualanting walked out slowly.

Hong Shi was pale and tight. When he saw Hua Lanting, he reluctantly smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "sit down."

Hua Lanting sat opposite and said coldly, "know I'll come back? Don't you run?"

Hong Shi drank the wine in front of him and said dejectedly, "since you are fated to escape, as long as you are not dead on the spot and the world is big, where can I escape? How long can I escape?"

Hua Lanting was expressionless and nodded: "just tell me why? Why are you in such a hurry? Let's have a good chat before you die."

At this time, neither of them was in a hurry. Hong Shi heaved a sigh and said in a deep voice:

"Although I like Xia Zi very much, her identity can't be exposed, and the medicine effect for a month is coming. Since she can't be controlled and is not my race, of course, she can't let go."

"As for you. Yes, we are temporary allies. You have helped me a lot and saved me, but this is a personal friendship."

"And the state is a public weapon. You have a purpose to help me, right? You want to destroy the Japanese pirates. It's no problem. Although I don't know your exact identity, I infer that you must be related to other dynasties, most likely the dust Dynasty."

"You're not from a beautiful country, and you won't be one heart with me in the end. Your martial arts are so high that I can't control and guard against it. You know what I'm doing in competing for reserves and seizing legitimate rights and take my painful feet."

"The emperor is a loner. He must hate everyone. If he bows his head a little, the crown will fall. You told me that."

"I was also persuaded by you to go on this road. Once the iron heart and ass decide the head and the mind of the emperor, I will consider the problem from the perspective of the safety of the throne and the country."

"Now, I have no opponent among the princes. There is a great chance that I will ascend the throne with Chu Jun, but sooner or later."

"So, although it's risky to remove you and Xia Zi now, it's better late than early. In this way, I can feel at ease and everything can really be under my control, rather than worrying about other people's faces."

"Although you really don't have more ideas, it may mean uncertainty and variables."

"Is this a good idea? Is it feasible?"

Hua Lanting pointed to the table: "as long as I want, you will disappear from the world immediately, and Wang Tu's hegemony will come to naught."

"That's why I'm going to kill you."

"However, if I die, your plan to deal with Japanese pirates will be difficult to achieve."

"So you're sure I don't dare take your life?"

"Not dare, not, not necessarily."

"So you wait here and gamble?"

"Do I have any other choice? I didn't leave you just now. I've lost only my pants. It's better to put all my eggs in one basket and gamble."

"Bet my heart has concerns and soft compromise?"

"Eunuch is different from me. His heart has friendship and bottom line. The great Xia is for the country and the people."

"You're blocking me with words. Maybe it was before. It's hard to say after what happened just now."

"Then I'll admit my fate and admit defeat."

"Are you playing rogue?"

"Better live than die."

"The Lord will pay for what he has just done."

"You said, as long as you don't die, I can give you some. Now you're in charge and have a good hand."

Hua Lanting raised his hand. Hong Shi's eyes flashed fear, but he just couldn't avoid it.

Hua Lanting slowly put down his palm and gently nodded: "Lord, you won the bet. I won't kill you."

"Drive away the Japanese pirates first and watch the flames of war in the Central Plains behind. You don't have to promise now. You're doing it and I'm watching. If not, I'll do it."

"That's all you have to say, Mr. Hua. Please take care of yourself, Lord."

Hua Lanting suddenly disappeared, leaving Hong Shi sweating through his heavy shirt, the night wind blowing, the front heart and back cold, paralyzed in the chair.

Out of the palace, Hua Lanting secretly scolded himself for being hard hearted, but he didn't regret it. After this twists and turns, Heng Chao and Wen Lan were not afraid even if they signed a contract. Liao Hongshi dared not keep his promise again.

The matter here has been settled. I should go to Zhongping, the capital of the dust Dynasty.

He had previously made an appointment with yuanmiao in North Kunlun, wunian in Yiwei temple in Songshi mountain and taimianzi of Shandong Haijian sect in Sanqing in Zhongping. It's time to start.

Since he wanted to go, he did not have to go to Qingyuan's Hou Fu to find out the news at the eye liner of Nan Jiao.

Only Zhao Lingyu and Dai Luosi still have obstacles here.

Think that Dai Luosi once called out the second son of Yue to Hongtu in the palace. It seems that the two women have found their identity. However, I will eventually return. It's better not to provoke more emotions. It's not good for others and myself.

At dawn, Dai Luosi, who had been unable to sleep for a long night, woke up again, got up and sat down next to the makeup case. She found a piece of paper and a booklet on it. She hurriedly took the list. After watching it for a long time, she was silent and her heart fluctuated.

She called Zhao Lingyu. Zhao Lingyu picked up the paper and saw that it said:

I met the two by accident and met unexpectedly. Although their positions were different and tit for tat, the abrupt beauty took the liberty of Yun Ying. It was really not my wish. I was often ashamed of it.

The two were born in a noble family and saw that their talents were far superior. However, I wanted to be on the fairyland. I just wanted to stay away from the old things and the prosperity of the world.

The world is changeable, the family and country are restless, and the war is ruthless. I really hope to see each other for a long time. It is difficult to repay the crime of offending and the grace of saving lives.

Now, in troubled times, the two of them are all self-protection. They have reserved a Book of mental cultivation methods. According to them, they can keep their face from getting old and live a long life.

The past will eventually become the yellow flower of tomorrow. The only thing left in my heart is unforgettable.

I'd like to make a hundred obeisances here and wish your Highness the king's daughter eternal youth and infinite happiness and longevity! Your royal highness is very good, longevity and health.

The signature is: well-known without.

Zhao Lingyu stayed for a long time, his expression was complex and silent, while Dai Luosi, who was next to him, dropped her head slightly and was already in tears.

On the outskirts of nangu City, in the morning light, Hua Lanting vomited a mouthful of blood stasis and the poison wound healed. After looking back at the direction of the palace for a long time, he turned around and sped away to the northwest.
