Lord please forgive me

Chapter 289 Please eat fish
On the outskirts of Chengdu, the Chu Palace is located in a quiet mountain forest. Although there are many houses and a large area, it is not towering. However, the layout of the landscape and gardens in the mansion seems to have taken a lot of thought. Many tree species are from Jiannan Road. Transplanted from other places, the ten-thousand-tailed koi in the lake is also a rare and precious species.

Twelve miles to the east of the palace is the East Jihu Camp of Jiannan Road, and eighteen miles to the west is the West Jihu Camp. The two battalions are all heavy armored cavalry, as many as 4. They are the real soldiers in the hands of Chu Wang Li Xun. trump card.

Kong Yuan was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, and was sitting by the lake fishing. There was a drizzle today. Whenever it rained, he always liked to be alone. He liked to listen to the sound of rain. Not surprising.

Just yesterday, Yingzhen had arrived at the small town of Gu'an, [-] miles away from Chengdu, and at the same time, the newly formed King Bao League was mobilized to surround the entire town, including Dugu Jing, the leader of the Dugu lord. , a total of fourteen great masters, visited the town in person,

Kong Yuan felt that if Yingzhen could leave the town smoothly, he would have the opportunity to see his real cards.

From far away by the lake came a man holding an umbrella. He was wearing a Confucian gown, his temples were stained with frost, and his hair was combed neatly. His appearance did not alarm the dead around, so we knew that the man was familiar with Kong Yuan. .

Kong Yuan turned his head to look at the person who came, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile:
"Sir, what do you want me to do?"

Cui Wang didn't salute, didn't even say hello at all, just stood by the lake, looking at the lake mirror broken by the drizzle, he was one of the few people who didn't need to salute when he saw the King of Chu,

"Ruan Maozhu told you not to use the army to intercept, so you really don't need it? If you want to kill Yingzhen, you can rely on the alliance to protect the king? If he really kills the palace, we old men may not be able to protect you .”

Cui Wang, who is 80 years old, looks like an elegant Confucian scholar in his forties.

Kong Yuan turned his face away, looked at the fishing line, and smiled embarrassingly:

"I have been laying out Jiannan Road for 20 years. It can be said that it is my life's painstaking effort. There is no chance to do it again in life. Although Yingzhen and Jiang Qinghui have joined forces, I still have the means of escape, but let me leave this I can't live alone with a big family fortune,
In fact, I, Kong Yuan, am very satisfied to have the status I have today. Half of the Holy Gate is attached to me, a foreigner. This has never happened. If he really died in Mingjing Lake back then, maybe I would still think about it. Gather the entire Holy Gate together, and fight for the throne of the emperor, but now, because of his arrival, many old guys have already given up their hearts. When Ping Lusheng left, he came to bid farewell to me, and it was also by this lake. I didn't keep him at that time, and I knew I couldn't keep him. Killing him would make many people in the Holy Gate who took refuge in me feel dissatisfied, so why didn't I just let him go,

Now because of Li Qingxue's mediation among the Li family brothers, the Li brothers have already pointed the finger at me, and it's only a matter of time before they join forces to deal with me. Internal and external troubles, do you think I still have trouble? How many good days have you lived? "

Cui saw his depressed appearance, couldn't help but sneered from the side and said:

"Did you already buy the coffin in advance and just wait to lie in it?"

Kong Yuan smiled and did not speak. Cui Wang has a high prestige in the Holy Gate and belongs to one of the few top bosses. Kong Yuan has always treated this person with sincerity and courtesy, while Cui Wang The reward for him is naturally not bad.

"People without long-term considerations must have near-term worries. I am used to thinking of the worst in everything I do, so I have never encountered the worst situation until today. Li Qingxue is here, Jiang Qinghui is here, and old man Deng, I had to think about the worst. When Dugu Jing was about to leave, I told him, don’t expect to be able to kill Yingzhen in Gu’an Town. It would be great if he could kill Jiang Peining and Deng Jiu. I will do the rest. tidy,"

Cui Wang nodded aside and said:

"In the palace, I have already made preparations. Our strength is enough to kill Yingzhen, but the premise is that you don't die in front of Yingzhen. If that is the case, all of us will give up and regard Yingzhen as the lord again. .”

Kong Yuan couldn't help laughing and said:
"Your words are quite sad. Although it is true, I am very curious. If I really die in front, do you think Yingzhen will let you go?"

Cui Wang said expressionlessly:
"There is no sect behind the four of us, but we represent the four schools of the Holy Gate. The struggle between schools is not something that happened in the past 100 years. We are loyal to the Holy Gate, not a certain person. Yingzhen knows this in her heart, and you know it too. For the sake of the former emperor, Yingzhen will not kill Ruan Maozhu first, Qiu Shenji is my junior, Gu Shang is the uncle of Mingjiao Dharma protector Gu Heng, and Qi Yuanhe is even worse. Needless to say, Ying Zhen didn't dare to kill him, at most he would exile the four of us, and besides, do you think the four of us are afraid of death?"

After hearing this, Kong Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head:
"So, in the end, you are all fine, and only I will die?"

Cui Wang didn't care about the other party's mood, nodded and said:

"It's roughly the same, so you should cherish your little life even more."

Kong Yuan shrugged,

"It doesn't matter. There is an enmity between Yingzhen and I for killing the teacher. Sooner or later there will be a battle. I, Kong Yuan, have acted all my life but have killed many people with my heart, but I have never felt any guilt. You have given me the grace of regeneration, and this vendetta must be repaid."

After finishing speaking, he paused, then suddenly raised his head and said:
"Mr. Cui, everyone did it together, and I can't let me alone,"

Cui Wang was startled when he heard the words, the next moment, a finger was nailed into his temple,
"Among the four gentlemen, you, Cui Wang, are the most cunning. You want to leave a way out for yourself? There is no door."

Cui Wang's body fell into the lake, dyed bright red,
A white figure suddenly appeared by the lake, carrying a knife bag made of white python skin on his back, looking at the corpse in the lake, said lightly:

"I have intercepted Yingzhen's biography of Yingzhen written by this person's younger brother Qiu Shenji. The letter said that Cui Wang is willing to be an internal response and will try his best to lobby for Yingzhen in the Holy Gate. This kind of double-faced person , you actually stayed until now, are you Kong Yuan blind?"

Kong Yuan raised his hand and waved the dozen or so dead soldiers who retreated to the front, and said with a smile:
"I've always been on guard against this person, but I didn't expect him to still have a way to send the letter. Old age is a thief. Cui Wang, oh Cui Wang, since you choose to be my dog, I'll bear the stinky mouth. At least be more loyal. "

The man in white sneered and said:

"Do you know why I came to you?"

Kong Yuan slammed the rod, and a bass jumped up into the air along with the fishing line. He caught it with one hand, and then used his finger as a knife to cut open the abdomen and scales.

"Don't be in a hurry, I invite you to eat a fish."
