The Child Emperor

The news of the assassination of General Cui Hong will soon be a sensation in the capital. Zong Zhengqing and Han Chou were among the first to know. It was very late at that time, but he did not sleep. He sat alone in the study and drank boring wine. He was so dizzy that he seemed to have returned to Luoyang. There were flattering crowds in front of him, and everyone had smiles on their faces, trying their best to please him.

Even if he stayed in the capital as prime minister, he would not do it.

Unlike those noble children who only wanted to stay in the capital, Han Chou liked Luoyang, where his roots were, but now he was uprooted.

Han Chou grabbed the wine glass and wanted to drink it all in one go, but after drinking half of the glass, he felt indifferent and tasteless. He changed his mind and wanted not to drink it, but the coordination between his hands and mouth was not coordinated enough. After a few times, the breath in his throat couldn't be smoothed out, his face was flushed, and he wanted to ask the servants to help, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

Han Chou put his hands on the table, bowed his head and coughed violently. Suddenly, he was slapped heavily on the back. His breath was finally smooth, and he was able to breathe freely again.

Han Chou gasped, mouth drooling, and looked up, it turned out to be a stranger who was helping.

The stranger was masked in black, with only one pair of eyes showing, no weapons in sight, and a package in his left hand.

Han Chou didn't show any surprise. He found a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth to ease his mind and said, The strong man came alone?

The stranger nodded.

Will it work? Han Chou tried his best to put on a solemn appearance to hide his embarrassment just now.

The stranger put the package on the table and undid the knot, revealing the boxy wooden box inside.

Han Chou was finally startled. He stared at the wooden box for a while, then raised his head and glanced at the stranger. He reached out his hand to open the lid, but suddenly felt timid. After searching, he picked up a chopstick on the table and slowly Reached out, quickly picked it up, and immediately closed his hand, leaning back, as if poking open a hornet's nest.

When the contents of the wooden box were exposed, Han Chou was startled again, more than half awake, but after seeing it clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then became furious, and stood up abruptly, This is not... this is not at all... ...who is this?

Inside the box is a woman's head.

The stranger probed over to take a look, and spoke for the first time. The voice was a little dull behind the black cloth, but it was clear enough. It's her.

Han Chou slapped the table angrily, It's not him! Yun Xiong said it clearly... He lowered his voice, The one who wants to kill is General Cui Hong of the National People's Congress, this is, this is clearly a woman!

The stranger still did not admit his mistake, This is the woman next to the general. If I can bring her head, it means that I can also bring the head of the general. I stabbed the general in the chest. If he is lucky, Shouldn't die.

Han Chou was stunned, and after a while he said angrily, Where's Yunxiong? Call him and I'll talk to him.

What do you have to say to my servant?

Han Chou was stunned again, You... who are you?

The stranger thought for a while, stretched out his hand and took off the mask, took it off and held it in his hand, revealing an extremely young face, it looked like he was only about twenty years old, his face was slightly round, with a slight smile, and there was no killer at all. Ling Li, My name is Luan Kai, and Luan Banxiong, the divine general of Yunmengze, is my adoptive father.

Han Chou stared at the assassin Luan Kai and was suddenly startled, Why are you showing your true face?

Luan Kai smiled slightly, Don't you want to know who I am? He walked to the table, picked up the head in the wooden box, and then put it back, This is just a test, there is nothing in the world that I can't get. Heads, including you.

Han Chou was so frightened that he slumped on the chair.

Luan Kai took a few glances, Your neck is relatively short and thick, with a lot of fat, so it is not suitable for using a knife. You should use a short blade within one foot.

Luan Kai said and acted, Han Chou's face was pale, You want to kill me?

Kill you? Luan Kai smiled, Why should I kill you? We have no grudges and no grudges. Your name is not on the list that my adoptive father gave me. Your name is Han Chou, right?

Han Chou nodded blankly.

Then you're fine.

Han Chou was stunned for a while, then pointed to the wooden box on the table, Is this woman on the list?

I don't even know her name. My foster father told me, don't kill Cui Hong first, kill the person closest to him first, and give him a warning.

Han Chou was terrified, but felt strange, Doesn't 'the closest person' refer to Cui Hong's relatives, such as his son?

Luan Kai frowned slightly, This woman is lying next to Cui Hong, closest to him.

This 'near' may mean 'closeness'.

Luan Kai thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and patted the table, but he didn't see him trying too hard, and a piece of the heavy sandalwood table corner fell off, Did I kill the wrong person?

Han Chou was so frightened that his heart stopped beating, and hurriedly said, No, no, I misunderstood, and you killed right. Only in this way can I teach Cui Hong a lesson.

Luan Kai smiled again, brilliant like a child, with a three-pointed foolishness, You almost turned me in, the foster father always said that a scholar is the worst, are you a scholar?

Han Chou shook his head vigorously, I hate reading books the most. You see, this is the study room, but there aren't many books, and I haven't read them.

Luan Kai nodded, picked up the half glass of residual wine on the table, and looked at Han Chou, which meant asking if he could drink it.

Han Chou waved his hand, indicating casual, and then pointed to the jug, Also.

However, Luan Kai was only willing to drink the half glass. He lifted his neck and took a sip, and let out a long Ah with great satisfaction, Before I left, my adoptive father said that one glass of wine is not allowed, so I only drink half a glass. Your wine is good.

This is Jiangnan's tribute wine, you can have as many as you want.

Luan Kai smiled and shook his head, No, my adopted father won't let me. That's what he said, but his eyes were fixed on the jug.

What is it?

I brought you the heads of the people around the General. You should have confidence in me, right?

Yes, yes. Han Chou nodded again and again.

Luan Kai sighed softly, as if feeling tired, and said to himself, I will go to the palace tonight, and I will deal with the dog emperor in the next two days. The arrangements are very tight, and I don't know if I still have time to visit the capital.

Han Chou was shocked, Go to the palace? Why are you going to the palace?

Luan Kai pointed at the wooden box, It's still this kind of thing.

Who are you going to kill?

I don't know yet. I'll go to sleep first. When I wake up, my adoptive father's servant will tell me who to kill. I'm leaving. Luan Kai glanced at Han Chou's neck again, then turned and walked towards the door. , turned around suddenly, and jumped to the table in one step.

Han Chou's heart stopped beating, and even the whole body's blood was a little cold.

Luan Kai's target was not his neck. He reached out and grabbed the bottle on the table, turned around and ran, opening the door, jumping out, and closing the door. , only the wooden box is still on the table.

After a long time, Han Chou finally came to his senses, and his drinking had already passed, but he bent down and vomited, and finally stopped, looked up at the wooden box, vomited again, vomited three times in a row, finally stopped, got up and went out. He ran, came back after a few steps, stared at the wooden box for a while, then gritted his teeth, closed the lid, and strode out the door with his arms in his arms.

Luan Kai is a lunatic, but Yun Xiong is a normal person, but he neither said that the assassination target was Cui Hong's people around him, nor did he say that there were other targets in the palace.

Yunxiong lived alone in a courtyard, not very far from the study, and the servants were not allowed to enter. Han Chou kicked the courtyard door, and someone opened it soon. Yunxiong didn't seem to sleep, holding a half candle, and said somewhat unexpectedly: Lord Han.

Han Chou shoved the wooden box into Yunxiong's other hand, entered the hospital and closed the door, and walked into the room without saying a word.

Yun Xiongteng couldn't make a move, he followed Han Chou and put the candles after entering the house. Then he opened the box and saw the head inside. He was not afraid, just an accident, Who is this?

Ask me? I'm here to ask you, a guy named Luan Kai suddenly appeared in front of me, saying that this is Cui Hong's 'people next to him', that he is Luan Banxiong's adopted son, that you are his servant, and that he is now Going to the palace late to kill another person, this is all... what's going on? Han Chouqiang held back his swear words.

Yunxiong smiled, Silly boy, he should come to me first, and then I go to see the adults, there will be no more misunderstandings.

He's a lunatic!

A lunatic with high martial arts skills, who can break into the military camp, enter the deep palace and take people's heads, how many such lunatics can there be in the world?

Han Chou was silent for a moment, and then said, What is Yun Mengze's plan? If you keep it secret, I will quit. You can play by yourself. I will keep it a secret.

After meeting Luan Kai, Han Chou's confidence did not increase, but became weaker.

Cui Hong once cooperated with Yun Mengze, but when the Qi Kingdom was in chaos, he didn't remember his old feelings at all, so he had to teach him a lesson, but he couldn't kill him for the time being, and the living general could attract the Su Wei army to divide his troops to protect him. Then there is the palace, killing one person or injuring one person, in short, the old guards will be incapable of being cloned.

Won't the emperor go back to the palace directly? There is no need to separate the military guards.

No, the emperor will never go back to the palace. First, he doesn't trust Su Weijun very much. Second, he feels that he is the real target and doesn't want to implicate the people in the palace. Yunxiong is confident, and he seems to have no confidence in the emperor. Very well understood.

And then? Let Luan Kai assassinate him?

Yun Xiong smiled and shook his head, The emperor is surrounded by strict guards, and even Luan Kai can't easily sneak in. He is creating opportunities for others.

Han Chou waited for him to continue, but Yun Xiong kept his mouth shut.

Is there really any of you around the emperor?

Anyway, we're not here to die. The emperor wants to exterminate Yunmengze, so let's take a cut. Master Han might as well think about who will succeed him. I hope the next emperor can be more honest.

Hey, you have your secret, and I also have mine. The succession has long been arranged. Anyway, it is not the British King in your hands. Even if he returns to Beijing alive now, he is not qualified to be an emperor.

It doesn't matter, Yun Mengze is willing to keep the King of England.

Han Chou gained even more confidence from Yunxiong, Are you Luan Kai's servant?

Haha, in Luan Kai's eyes, except for Luan Banxiong, everyone in Yunmengze is a servant.

Yunxiong is definitely not your real name. When are you going to tell me your real name?

Yun Xiong pondered for a while, Well, there is no need to hide it now. Next is Military Master Yun Mengze, and everyone calls me 'Saint Military Master'.
