The Grandmaster Strategist

Chapter 36 Retreating to Advance

Fengyi Sect Master's eyes fell on Jiang Zhe, and an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes. She said in a cold voice: "His Royal Highness, the matter has come to this, no matter what our Fengyi Sect's original intention is, for Dayong , is already a rebellious enemy. Even if His Highness wants to kill Fengyi Sect, no one can stop him. I am here just to remind His Highness one thing. Although His Highness still has the advantage now, as long as I am here , then His Highness will have to worry about his own safety.

The Emperor and I are friends in times of need, so I don’t have to kill him. But the two noble concubines, Princess Changle, you, Prince Yong, King Li Xian of Qi, and these loyal ministers and brave generals, if I am willing, don’t even think about it. Escape from Xiaoshuang Palace. Although these disciples of mine will also lose their lives in the Hunting Palace, our Fengyi Sect still has some hidden strength and will not be devastated by this. Speaking of which, this was originally my selfish intention. My junior sisters and maids are all people who have experienced hundreds of battles and survived disasters. I don't want them to be involved in danger again. In addition, I also underestimate His Highness King Yong, thinking that Wei Ying, Han You and others can successfully seize the palace, leaving this power to deal with possible provocations from the Demon Sect.

Your Highness, you should know very well that no matter who wins or loses, the Demon Sect of the Northern Han Dynasty will not let go of this opportunity. Otherwise, Your Highness and the King of Qi would not have issued secret orders in advance to order the army to strictly guard the passes to prevent the Northern Han Dynasty from attacking. Han's raid. Now, if His Highness refuses to give way, then I can only go on a killing spree, but I will definitely spare His Highness's life, and then go back to lead the remnants of my sect to cause turmoil in the territory of Dayong. By then, the internal instability will be , the Northern Han army took the opportunity to invade, and Dayong Sheji was facing internal and external troubles. Although His Highness is still alive, I am afraid he will regret it and only wish he was alive. "

Although her voice was calm and cold, everyone in the hall felt ice-cold in their hearts. At this time, Li Yuan had already helped the imperial concubine Changsun, and stood up slowly: "Master of the Brahma Sect, don't be impulsive. The Sect Master and Dayong are closely related. If the Great Yong State is in danger, the Sect Master will also be in danger of unforeseen disasters. Although this time A disciple of your noble sect has made a big mistake, but everything can be discussed, so please calm down the sect master."

When he said this, everyone in the palace was in an uproar. No matter how strong the martial arts of Fengyi Sect Master was, he was always rebellious. As a king, how could Li Yuan be so weak. Li Zhi frowned, glanced at his father, and said: "What my father said is what I think. The sect leader is a man of great honor. This rebellion may not be caused by the sect leader. As long as the sect leader makes up his mind, he will These rebellions will be left to the king to deal with, and if the sect owner is willing, the Dayong royal family is willing to build a palace for the sect leader for his purification."

Although Li Zhi said he agreed with Li Yuan's decision, everyone could hear that Li Zhi wanted the Fengyi Clan leader to personally kill those who participated in the rebellion, and then voluntarily be placed under house arrest. After the Fengyi Clan was purged, he would She could only become a vassal of the royal family, and although Fengyi Sect Master was involved in the rebellion, if she could be controlled, with her status as a master, she could also deter the Demon Sect of the Northern Han Dynasty. This was Li Zhi's helpless move. Elder Cizhen, who was responsible for containing the master of the Fengyi Sect, was nowhere to be seen, but the master of the Fengyi Sect came to the hunting palace. Thinking of the identity of the master of the Fengyi Sect as the head of the three great masters, Elder Cizhen might have already Unfortunately, if the leader of Fengyi Sect betrays Dayong again, Dayong will lose someone who can compete with the Demon Sect of the Northern Han Dynasty. Therefore, although Li Zhi hates Fengyi Sect deeply, he has to propose a compromise.

A look of pride flashed in Fan Huiyao's eyes, and when she was about to speak, she heard only a crisp sound. When she looked up, she saw Jiang Zhe's expression was cold. Princess Changle had already stood up and stood beside him, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed. , looking at Jiang Zhe with worries in his eyes, and at Jiang Zhe's feet, a crystal clear jade jewelery was torn into pieces. It was obvious that Jiang Zhe threw the jade jewelery he was wearing into pieces on the main hall.

Li Zhi looked shocked. In the past two years, if he saw some bamboo fans, inkstones and other elegant and interesting things, he would definitely be bought and given to Jiang Zhe for viewing. This jade was given to Jiang Zhe years ago. If As for the material, although it is precious, it is also ordinary. What is rare is the exquisite workmanship.

There is also a picture of Hongmen Banquet engraved on the back. Although there are only a few strokes, it is vivid in spirit and form. Jiang Zhe was very fond of this piece of jade, so he kept wearing it. Today he threw the jade jewel into pieces, he seemed very angry.

But before Li Zhi could react, Jiang Zhe had already smiled and said: "The master of the sect is in a dangerous situation today. Zhe is not worthy of being the sect master. The so-called son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall. Why should the sect master open his eyes to these rebellious people? Master Cizhen Although he is a master, although he may be slightly inferior to the sect leader, it is impossible for the sect leader to escape easily. Jiang has some knowledge of medicine. Although the sect leader uses medicine to maintain a glimmer of life, if he wants to save his life, he still needs to It's better not to act rashly. Otherwise, Zhe's meager life can be given with both hands, but the sect master will not be able to leave the hunting palace alive. Xiao Shunzi, in this palace now, the emperor is the Ninth Five-year-old, His Highness King Yong and His Highness King Qi are both I am an important minister of Dayong State, if I want you not to worry about my life or death, are you sure you can save at least one person?"

Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "Don't worry, young master, even though I am incompetent, I will never let Master Fengyi do whatever he wants."

My smile became even more joyful, and I continued: "Master, in the whole world, is it the land of the king? Is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king? In any case, Fengyi Gate is still in the territory of Dayong, but it is the people of Dayong. Today, the emperor As long as one of the two highnesses survives, the allies of Fengyi Sect and Guimen will not be able to leave a single remnant. By then, not only the reputation of the sect master will be ruined here, but also the Dayong court will inevitably suffer heavy losses. In any case, Dayong The sect leader has made great contributions to the founding of the country. If Dayong Sheji is in danger and the Fengyi sect commits rebellion and endangers the national artifact, it will only leave an eternal infamy and be despised by future generations. How can the sect leader face the world? "

Fengyi Sect Master's face was as dark as water, and he didn't seem to be tempted by what Jiang Zhe said. However, Li Zhi's eyes lit up. If Fengyi Sect Master was seriously injured, then it would be natural to kill them all. Jiang Zhe wanted to Throwing Jue to the ground is urging yourself not to hesitate and to make up your mind. His eyes flashed and he made a few gestures secretly. Everyone in the palace quickly formed three military formations, guarding Emperor Yong Li Yuan, King Yong Li Zhi, and King Qi Li Xian. Although everyone did not act rashly out of concern to anger Master Fengyi, everyone was determined to protect these three people when Master Fengyi made his move. Even the guards and soldiers who protected King Li Xian of Qi were ruthless and would rather trade their lives for the possibility of Li Xian's survival. Who knows that now, in addition to King Yong, Li Xian is also a candidate who has the ability to take over the throne.

Fengyi Sect Master sighed in his heart, and looked at Jiang Zhe with a murderous look. At this time, Xiao Shunzi and Leng Chuan took a step towards Fengyi Sect Master at the same time. If Fengyi Sect Master made the move, then these two people would be Block the main force of Fengyi Sect Master.

At this time, I saw that my goal of suppressing the momentum of the Fengyi Sect Master had been achieved. If I continued to force the Fengyi Sect Master to take risks, the result would be a bit miserable, so I said: "Sect Master, although we can kill them all now, Kill Jue, but considering the merits of the sect master, His Highness King Yong still hopes to reach an agreement with the sect master. Now most of the disciples of your sect are poisoned. If there is a melee, they will definitely die under the sword first. If the sect master is willing to give in, If we go one step further, it is not impossible to turn the hostility into friendship. Even for these noble disciples who are involved in rebellion, Jiang can also make the decision to let them go."

Fengyi Sect Master smiled coldly and said, "Jiang Sima is indeed very calculating. I wonder if His Highness Prince Yong means the same thing?"

Li Zhi said loudly: "What Jiang Sima said is my king's decision." He was a little confused. Jiang Zhe's words were unclear, but he didn't seem to want Fengyi Sect Master to hand over the disciples who participated in the rebellion. Wouldn't this condition be more favorable? Youhou, but he always trusted Jiang Zhe, so he didn't stop him.

The master of Fengyi Sect sighed softly, but she understood that Jiang Zhe's intention was not with those Fengyi Sect disciples, but with himself. If he really kept these close disciples, how he would lead Fengyi Sect in the future would be difficult. It’s the betrayal of relatives and separation. In addition, Jiang Zhe pointed out the fact that he was seriously injured, so King Yong would surround him at all costs. Fengyi Sect would naturally suffer heavy losses, and he would not be able to leave this place alive. But if so, Jiang Zhe was probably heartbroken about the price he had to pay to kill him, so he first pointed out that he could not kill all the important people, and then pointed out the fact that he was seriously injured, and then hinted to himself that Xiao Shunzi was like this With the existence of masters, it is absolutely impossible for him to leave the Hunting Palace. In this way, the so-called concession, since he agreed to let go of the remaining disciples of Fengyi Sect, he can only commit suicide to thank the world.

Fengyi Sect Master had many thoughts in his mind. If she had no injuries on her body and could come and go freely, then Jiang Zhe's purpose would be just a joke. But Master Cizhen's Buddhist magical skills are unparalleled in the world. She fought hard to defeat Master Cizhen. Although the old monk had been forced to go back to recuperate due to his promise and would not hinder her in the short term, in order to rush to the hunting palace to save the overall situation, she His internal injuries were already very heavy. If he hadn't taken the life-saving pill, the master of Fengyi Sect might not have been able to take action at this moment. But even with the help of medicine, if he continues to fight hard, he will only have one result, which is that the Qi San Gong will disappear and his heart channels will be severed. And with a master like Xiao Shunzi, he could not kill Yong Emperor and his son at the same time no matter what. In the end, not only would he be killed, but none of his disciples would be able to escape.

Smiling slightly bitterly, Master Fengyi thought to himself that he never expected that he, a hero in his lifetime, would be forced to death by this weak scholar who had no power to restrain a chicken. I thought I could force King Yong to surrender by relying on the master's reputation, but I didn't expect Jiang Zhe to see through her injuries. Yes, how could I forget who Jiang Zhe's medical master was? Isn't the Nine Turns Heart-Proofing Pill that Evil Shadow Li Shun took to Jiang Zhe just now a clear proof? Moreover, if I hadn't taken the Nine-Revolution Heart-Protecting Pill given by that person twenty years ago, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here now.

Although the expression of Fengyi Sect Master, who was covered with white gauze, could not be seen by others, they knew that what Jiang Zhe said was not false when they saw her silence. Some people with sensitive minds also thought of Jiang Zhe's intention, but they were forced to kill Master Fengyi, is this possible? Everyone has automatically abandoned this idea, so they are still guessing about Jiang Zhe's intentions.

After a long time, the master of Fengyi Sect sighed softly and said: "It is not impossible to give in a little. If His Highness King Yong is willing to let go of my disciples and not order a hunt within seven days, then I can Agree to this condition."

I glanced at Li Zhi. He looked a little confused, but he still nodded lightly. Li Yuan didn't want to anger the Fengyi Sect Master, so he naturally didn't refuse. My eyes flashed and I said, "His Royal Highness King Yong does not have this condition." Objection, but Prince Li An and Wei Ying are not disciples of the noble sect, so they cannot be counted among them."

Fengyi Sect Master said calmly: "Li An is a member of the royal family, I will not care about it. Wei Ying is my registered disciple and must leave."

I was satisfied as long as I stayed with Li An, and said: "In this case, we have nothing to say, but this is not a suitable place to rest. The sect master has to supervise the emperor and His Highness here for seven days. We can't waste it like this. If the sect master With permission, how about we prepare a quiet place for the sect master to rest."

Fengyi Sect Master suddenly felt something in his heart and said: "It doesn't matter, but I need to keep the hostages nearby. Otherwise, if you betray your trust, I won't be able to find anyone to kill you."

I was well prepared and said calmly: "Your Majesty is the most powerful person, and His Highness King Yong still has to control the overall situation. The two concubines and His Highness the Princess are all frightened. How can I bear to let them continue to be frightened? The generals have to restrain the soldiers." Ma, even if the ministers in the court are willing to take the pledge, I am afraid that the sect master will not be able to trust him. If the sect master does not dislike it, His Highness King Qi and Jiang can be used as hostages. If the emperor and His Highness King Yong violate their trust, the sect master can take them. The payment will be made with my two lives.”

Fengyi Sect Master smiled lightly and said: "Jiang Sima is good at choosing people, that's fine, I agree, but I have to make it clear that if the Emperor and His Highness King Yong want to leave the Hunting Palace within seven days, they can Don’t blame me for ignoring your promise.”

Li Zhi glanced at Li Yuan and said, "Since the sect master said so, I and my father will not leave the hunting palace within seven days to show their integrity."

At this time, everyone felt that Jiang Zhe was indeed very intelligent. Although they did not know what agreement he had reached with the Fengyi Sect Master, it could at least temporarily stabilize the Fengyi Sect Master. Within seven days, everyone would be able to make proper arrangements. , even if Fengyi Sect Master launches another attack, the losses may not be greater than now, and if it can be solved properly, it will not be a bad idea. After all, everyone is now worried that Fengyi Sect Master will go on a killing spree. As for those rebels, It can always be dealt with slowly.

Moreover, the two hostages chosen by Jiang Zhe were also very clever. He was willing to be a hostage because he was loyal, and King Qi's being a hostage was also an opportunity to atone for his sins, so he would not refuse it even if he thought about it. King Yong would never have the heart to sacrifice Jiang Zhe, and Li Yuan would never have the heart to sacrifice King Qi. This would not only reassure the Fengyi Sect Master, but also avoid causing dissatisfaction among the hostages. Therefore, even if those rebels cannot be punished in the end, for the Dayong Court, which has been able to eliminate all the forces of Fengyi Sect, the gains outweigh the losses.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Li Hanyou suddenly said loudly: "Master, Master, it's Li Zhen, Jiang Zhe and Xiahou Yuanfeng who ruined our big event. Master can't let them go."

Fengyi Sect Master glanced at Li Hanyou, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and said: "Hanyou, stop talking, Jiang Sima, I think the poisoning of my disciples is your work, but I don't know how you poisoned me and where the antidote is." ?”

I was prepared and said calmly: "Wansheng has been worried for a long time. If His Royal Highness King Yong comes to Qinwang with his troops, and if your Majesty and others are kidnapped by your family, we will throw a rat weapon and dare not attack. What should we do? In order to successfully rescue the emperor, Wansheng Please ask Princess Changle to send her confidants to replace the incense burning in the incense burner of Xiaoshuang Palace with the Xiaoyao incense produced in southern Xinjiang from the day before yesterday. The smell of this spice is refreshing. If a person feels refreshed after smelling it, it is a lucky thing. Feng Most of the disciples of the Yimen live in wealthy families all year round, and they will not stop such elegant things as burning incense. But if you smell this kind of leisurely incense for twelve hours in a row, and then inhale another kind of Aconitum, a specialty of southern Xinjiang, , will make the limbs weak. Wan Sheng insisted on coming to Xiaoshuang Palace regardless of his illness, just to bring the refined ointment of Aconitum powder, and then let Xiao Shunzi use internal force to promote the release of Aconitum medicine. Because you have been exposed to Jiang The scent of the medicine was mixed up, so I didn’t notice the smell of Aconitum, and the princess had already mixed the antidote into the wine for the emperor and all the ladies to take, so only the noble disciples were poisoned.”

Fengyi Sect Master smiled lightly and said: "Jiang Sima is indeed a disciple of the Medical Saint. He is proficient in the art of mixing poisons. I admire him." Then she saw the flash of pride in Jiang Zhe's eyes, and she felt relieved in her heart. Sex, it seems that Jiang Zhe is also a person, and he will inevitably have pride, which will be very beneficial to her next move. So, she said more and more kindly: "In that case, please ask Jiang Sima to send the antidote so that my disciples can leave early."

I glanced at King Yong and asked for instructions. Li Zhi nodded and said: "Suiyun, give the antidote to the sect master. However, the sect master also asks your disciples to temporarily hand over their weapons, otherwise I will not be able to rest assured."

Fengyi Sect Master's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said: "Of course, if His Highness King Yong is worried, you can ask the Emperor to stay away for now."

Li Zhi was overjoyed and said: "Since there are so many sect masters, I appreciate it. Changle, please accompany your two empresses to the side hall to rest."

Princess Changle hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jiang Zhe, and said, "Changle obeys your order." After that, she walked up the imperial steps, intending to help Li Yuan. Unexpectedly, just halfway through the journey, a cold light suddenly shot up, and a sweet scream came: "Li Zhen, suffer death." Li Hanyou, who had been paralyzed on the ground, actually flew up and stabbed Princess Changle's hand with a sword. On the chest, this move was unexpected. Who would have thought that Li Hanyou, who was poisoned to the ground, would ride violently and attack. Everyone's attention was originally focused on Fengyi Sect Master. Who would pay attention to a poisoned woman? What's more, no one thought that Li Han Youhui would take action when Fengyi Sect Master agreed to compromise. At this time, Leng Chuan and Xiao Shunzi were both several feet away. Although they both screamed and rushed forward at the same time, they had no time to stop them. The other masters who guarded Emperor Yong were dying and injured. Even those who were not injured did not pay attention to Li Hanyou, and none of them had time to rescue him. As for Fengyi Sect, Wei Ying, Xiao Lan, and Feng Feifei retreated to protect the people of Fengyi Sect after the master of Fengyi Sect appeared. They were unable to stop them, and Princess Changle was one of the culprits who turned their hopes into ashes. First, they would never think of rescuing Princess Changle. The only one who has the ability to rescue Princess Changle is the Master of Fengyi Sect. But just as Master Fengyi was about to take action, he felt a surge of blood in his chest. In order not to expose his flaws, he had no choice but to make an indifferent look and look at her coldly. At this moment, She was thinking about how to prevent the death of Princess Changle from affecting the agreement between the two parties.
