I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 526 Chapter 628 Chapter 629 This Gong Ruo Miao is too stable

At this time, Gong Nan just wanted to put Gong Ruo Miao to death!

After all, even though he and Gong Ruoxiao belonged to the Shusun clan, they are life and death enemies.

However, if Gong Ruoxiao really had his back on Liyi and launched a rebellion, he regained the power of the Shusun family.Then he will definitely die, even if there is no chance of being expelled.

So, Gongnan immediately led people to the vicinity of Liyi quietly, and then sent people to sneak into the city.

Soon, one person came out of Liyi and came to Gongnan's hiding place.

When Gongnan saw this person, he said enthusiastically:

"Hou criminal! Don't come here unharmed!"

It turned out that this person was Ma Zheng of Liyi, Gongnan was Ma Zheng of Uncle Sun, and Hou Zuo was Ma Zheng of Liyi.

The position of Ma Zheng, in fact, belongs to the local military responsibility wherever he is.Therefore, in the eyes of Gong Ruoxiao, Hou Zuo is considered as light-hearted.

However, Gong Ruoxiao didn't know that this person was Gong Nanan's spy in Liyi.It's just that he has been hiding in Liyi for many years, but he has always been regarded as a backup, so no one knows about it.

I only heard Hou criminal say there:
"Ma Zhenghou of Liyi has seen your lord, what orders does your lord have today?"

Gongnan smiled slightly and nodded:

"Hou Cheng! You have been in Liyi for some years, and that matter... should be done, right?!"

Hou criminal also did not hesitate, and immediately replied:
"Master Ma Zheng is kind to Hou Criminal. Over the years, Hou Criminal has only thought about how to repay His Excellency. Today, since Your Excellency has entrusted you, Hou Criminal will never dare to shirk!"

Gongnan was silent for a moment, raised a cup to drink, and then said:

"Gong Ruoxiao, who has occupied Liyi for these years, probably has the heart of rebellion. I wonder if you have heard any movement around him?"

Hou Zuo was startled for a moment, and said casually:

"There is no evidence to say that the rebellion... is committed. However, in these years, Liyi has not suffered any natural disasters, but the tribute to the Shusun family is less than one year! If you want to say this... ...I'm afraid this Gong Ruo Miao really has ulterior motives!"

Because of Gong Ruomiao's deliberate concealment of the situation in Liyi by the Shusun family, the former knows very little about it.

But now, according to Ma Zhenghou, Gong Nan has obtained a certain degree of proof: Even if Gong Ruo Miao has no intention of rebellion, at least he is suspected of occupying Liyi secretly.

"Hmm... this matter shows that Gong Ruomiao already has a different heart, and he has long wanted to bring trouble to my uncle's family! This person was opposed to the lord's succession to the suzerain before, and now he occupies Liyi, I am afraid it is still the same. Have this idea!"

"Now that the Lu State has the precedents of Nan Kuai and Yang Hu, I'm afraid that in time, the Uncle Sun family will also suffer great chaos!"

"Before, we all watched Ji's making a fuss there, but now the fire is burning on our own heads! And you and I have all been favored by Uncle Sun, so we should think about Uncle Sun's safety!"

Hou criminal said respectfully:
"My lord is right! But I don't know how to do it if I want to commit a crime?"

Gongnan stroked his mustache:
"Since this person has such a wolfish ambition, I now hope that you... If you can lure him out of Liyi! And if I set up an ambush here, I can kill him in one fell swoop, and we will never have any future troubles!"

After hearing this, Hou Criminal couldn't help being surprised, and shook his head again and again:
"Gong Ruomiao is very cautious. Even in the outskirts of the city, he seldom goes in and out. He occasionally goes out, but only wanders in the city. This matter... is not a villain's excuse, I am afraid it is really difficult to do!"

Gongnan knew that what Hou Zuo said was true, so he thought about it, and said:

"Since this plan fails, then please Hou Ma Zhengneng to take the risk and assassinate Gong Ruoxiao!"

Hou criminal showed embarrassment again:

"I'm afraid it won't work...Gong Ruoxiao is too cautious, and he is always guarded by his side, even when he is sleeping! He never lets others get close to him, so he wants to assassinate him personally." ...I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult."

When Gongnan heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little angry:

"If the Duke doesn't die, my uncle Sun will never have peace! Marquis...you are the only one who can do this now! Please do your best!"

When Hou criminal heard this, he suddenly kowtowed and said:
"I came from a humble background, and it was my uncle who received the grace of my uncle and grandson, so that I can live comfortably. I... Although I am so heartbroken, how can I spare my life?! Now, the only way to do it is to do my best to fulfill my lord's life." Enyi! Please wait for the news, my lord!"

Gongnan couldn't help being overjoyed, and helped him up:
"I know that you, Hou Zuo, will never let me down! If that's the case, then please go back and make plans. If this happens, you will be the benefactor of Uncle Sun! Nan Ye will definitely tell the whole story in front of the lord, so that you It will be used for you! Let you enjoy this glory and wealth for generations to come!"

When Hou criminal heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude:

"Thank you, my lord! Committing... will live up to my lord's high expectations!"

After the two talked, Hou Zuo resigned and left.

After Hou Peng returned to Liyi, his mind immediately became active.

Actually, speaking of it, the person he admired the most was none other than Yang Hu!After all, he is also like Yang Hu, a tall man with outstanding martial arts.

And what Yang Hu did, in his eyes, was simply the ceiling of a generation of retainers!It is the goal that he should strive for all his life!

However, he has always been Ma Zheng in Liyi. Although Ma Zheng is important, he is not a person around the powerful after all.

Therefore, compared with his ideal, it was more than a star and a half short.But if he can kill Gong Ruomiao and make great contributions for the Uncle Sun, then he will definitely come into the view of the Young Master, and then he will take it slowly, which can be said to be exactly what he wants!
However, the headache for Hou Zuo was, how could Gong Ruo Miao be an ordinary person?He was so cautious before, which also shows his excellence.The security around him is also unusually tight.

Therefore, Hou criminal tried to wait for the opportunity several times, but all ended in failure without exception.

As for Gong Ruoxiao, he seemed to be alert after that, and became more and more cautious.

As a result, the assassination operation is even more difficult.

Hou Zuo was helpless for a while.He could only write a letter to Gongnan, saying that this matter still needs to be delayed for a few more days.

When Gongnan got this information, he also became a little anxious, but he was helpless.He had no choice but to inform Shusun Zhouqiu of the progress of the matter.

And Shusun Zhouchou said with worry:
"The repeated misses in the city of Liyi may have aroused Gong Ruomiao's suspicion?! Will he... just turn around?"

Gongnan was on the side, but replied:

"Probably not. Even though Gong Ruoxiao was vigilant, he didn't dare to rebel openly. What's more, now he doesn't know who did it, so he won't rebel just because of it!"

Uncle Sunzhou Qiu heard the words, but he was frowning, and said helplessly:

"This old man, what is the difference between open rebellion now and open rebellion? Thanks to Si Kou's reminder this time, otherwise, if he really rebelled against the Uncle Sun family like Nan Kuai in the future, then with our current Uncle Sun's strength , I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture Liyi!"

Gongnan heard the words, but said from the sidelines:
"My lord, don't be alarmed! If it really comes to that time, you can also ask Lord Si Kou to go out, and in the name of the public office, Shuai Sanhuan's division will suppress them together!"

Hearing this, Shusun Zhouchou couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead:

"Hey... I just hope that this kind of thing doesn't happen. If that time really comes, even if we capture Liyi, I'm afraid Liyi will suffer heavy losses. What good will this do for our Uncle Sun?"

Gongnan looked at Shusun Zhouchou with great satisfaction, and nodded:
"My lord, it's really my uncle Sun's luck to have such an idea!"

"Then...for today's plan, we can only hope that Liyi can get it as soon as possible! Hey...it was also the fault of the last general back then, but he failed to kill Gong Ruoxiao, which made this person a disaster to this day! "

chapter 629
Hou Zuo wanted to assassinate Gong Ruoxiao, but after several unsuccessful attempts, he also knew that the matter could not be rushed, so he had to put it on hold for the time being.

One day, Hou Zuo was sipping wine at home when someone rushed in.

Hou Peng was not surprised when he saw this person, but secretly put his hand on the hilt of the saber under him, and said calmly:
"Nao! What are you going to do?"

This person is Hou Zuo's subordinate Yu, who is mainly responsible for raising horses and herding horses, and has been following Hou Zuo for some years.

Li Na took a deep breath, and asked angrily:
"May I ask my lord, where did Gao go?"

Hou Zuo tilted his head and replied:

"Nao, there are some things you shouldn't ask, so don't meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll get yourself into trouble, you know?!"

Obviously, this Li Gao is Li Luo's friend.

Qi Gao was sent by the Marquis to assassinate Gong Ruoxiao, but in the end he chose to commit suicide because his deeds were exposed.

Afterwards, Hou criminal secretly buried him on the spot, and he didn't even know where the body was buried.

I saw Li Luo sitting cross-legged in front of Hou Zuo:

"My lord, what Gao was sent to do by you, he told me everything before he left!"

Hearing this, Hou Peng couldn't help but stare, revealing a killing intent.

After all, if Gong Ruomiao himself found out about the assassination, would he still be able to survive?

Hou Zuo held the hilt of the sword, looked at Li Luo in front of him, and said with a sinister smile:
"Really? Then... what do you know?"

Of course Li Luo also noticed Hou Zuo's movements, but he didn't rush and said directly:
"Hehe, sir, don't be nervous, and Nao has no intention of going to report on him. If I really want to report, why should I come to find you? I came here today because Nao wants to have a plan, which can help my lord... to get things done!"

When Hou criminal heard the words, it was hard to believe him.So, he only shouted loudly towards the outside of the house:
"Come here!"

Immediately two soldiers came in, and Hou Zuo continued:
"Take it off!"

The two soldiers immediately stepped forward to arrest him, but Nao didn't rush, and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha! My lord is really as cowardly as a mouse! No wonder you can't deal with a mere man! No matter! No matter! My lord will regret it in the future!... Hahaha!"

When Hou criminal heard this, he didn't dare to let the two soldiers take him away, worrying that he would talk nonsense again when he was outside.

So, let the two soldiers tie him up, and let the two soldiers go out of the house first.

Seeing the soldiers go out and close the door, Li Luo laughed again:

"My lord, what you have done is truly daring! But I never imagined that you would be so cowardly as a mouse at this moment! It really makes people... a little disappointed!"

At this time, Hou Peng didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly pulled out the saber he had held down for a long time with a "chuckle".

"Nao, you've been following me for a few years, but with this mouth, you really can't hold back! If that's the case, then don't blame me for being cruel!"

As Hou criminal said, he wanted to kill Li Luo.

At this time, Li Luo's tone became a little anxious:

"My lord is only drinking in his own room, don't you want to accomplish great things? Today, Luo really has a way to succeed in one fell swoop, but you are going to kill me! How can you be so suspicious as your lord is capable of doing great things?" people?"

The tip of Hou Zuo's sword had already reached Luo's throat at this moment, but upon hearing these words, he couldn't help but stop the movement of his hands, and said in a deep voice:

"What do you... know?"

Li Luo stared closely at Hou Zuo's eyes.

"Gaoyu told Luo everything before leaving. Luo wants to take care of his friend, and I want to avenge him! Secondly, Luo also wants to be famous. Therefore, I am here to ask for your order. My lord wants The head on the neck, the villain can take it instead!"

Hou criminal said in a low voice:
"You... know who I want to assassinate?"

Li Nao sneered and replied:
"Oh, of course I know!"

Hou Peng thought for a while, but the tip of the sword did not leave his throat, and asked extremely cautiously:
"Then... what's your plan?"

In fact, Li Luo's life was hanging by a thread at this time, and he had tried to remain calm there before.

But at this moment, hearing Hou Zuo's tone slowed down, he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief:

"To tell you the truth, the villain has an ancestral sword. I heard that the man likes these magical weapons the most. The villain just needs to get this sword and find a chance to attract him on purpose. Only wait for the villain to approach. At that time...!"

Hou criminal looked at Li Luo suspiciously.

"Sword?"

"This sword is currently in the villain's home. The adults can go and have a look with the villain."

Hearing this, Hou Peng couldn't help but frowned again, and seemed a little hesitant.

Apparently, even if he was sent to Li Na's house hastily, he couldn't tell whether Li Na was an enemy or a friend.So, how dare he risk his life?

Seeing this, Li Luo knew his worries, so he couldn't help but sneered, and continued:
"Originally, there is no need for an adult to go in person for this kind of thing. It's just... this sword is absolutely extraordinary, and it is hidden in a villain's house and never shown to others! If it is taken here, it may leak the wind instead, and then the plan will fail. It will even hurt the adults!"

"So, if your lord really wants to accomplish something, please go there yourself!"

Hou Zuo also thought about it for a long time, and slowly withdrew his sword.And untied the rope under Li Nao's feet:

"You'd better be honest with me, if you let me know what tricks you are playing, I will destroy your family!"

Li Na laughed again:
"The adults are highly skilled in martial arts and are so cautious, how dare the villains make mistakes?!"

Therefore, Li Nao led the prisoner back home at night and entered his room.

Hou Fang didn't find anything unusual, so he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"My lord, can you untie me now?"

Li Luo wanted to ask Hou Zuo to untie him himself, but Hou Zuo pondered for a while, and cut the rope for him with his sword, allowing Li Luo to break free from the shackles completely.

But at this moment, Li Luo suddenly raised a hoe again, and Hou Peng couldn't help being startled, and shouted loudly:

"You... what are you going to do?!"

Li Luo held up the hoe, but smiled lightly:
"Hehe, the villain is going to take the sword and show the adult a look!"

While Li Na was talking, he actually started digging in the middle of the room.

After a while, a long wooden box was exposed, and this wooden box did not look like it had been buried underground for a long time.

Before Hou Zuo could ask any questions, Li Luo opened the wooden box, and a bright copper-colored sword appeared in front of his eyes.

This sword is three feet six inches long, one inch and eight inches wide, and the hilt is five inches. It is extremely sharp. The light in the room is dim, but it is still shining brightly.

"Gong Ruomiao has always liked to collect such treasures. If this sword appeared before his eyes, wouldn't it make his heart itch? Wait for him to ask for a look, and then he can take the opportunity to kill him!"

Hou criminal was muttering in his heart.

At this time, Li Luo suddenly made a "bass" and shot suddenly.With a sound from Cang Lang, the saber in Hou Zuo's hand, including the sheath and sword, was cut into two pieces!
Hou Zuo was originally a master of martial arts, but he was thinking about something on his mind at the moment. When he realized it, he found that Luo's sword was aimed at the saber in his hand, so he couldn't dodge it in time.

Hou Peng knew very well that if the sword just now came to take his life, then he would have directly confessed it here today.

Hou Peng couldn't help being taken aback. First, he marveled at Li Nao's skill, and second, he marveled at how sharp this sword is, it cuts iron like mud!
Li Luo held the sword horizontally, and half-kneeled on the ground.

"I just shocked my lord, please forgive my sin!"

Hou Zuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took the sword in his hand again, weighed it, and nodded slightly:
"Good sword! It is indeed a good sword!"

Hou Zuo returned the sword, and Li Luo took out a piece of sackcloth to wrap the sword's body.

And Hou Zuo no longer had any doubts about Li Luo, and brought Li Luo back to his residence again.

"I don't know... who taught you this skill!"

But Li Nao replied:
"It's also inherited from the ancestors!"

At this moment, Hou Criminal had another calculation in his mind.

If you say that he is by his side now, there is indeed no one available.

But if he just let Li Luo go to assassinate Gong Ruoxiao, he would really be worried.

After all, this person was not his confidant before this.Once this person is captured by mistake, he will definitely not be able to withstand torture to extract a confession.

At that time, if he is confessed in this way, then he will die without a place to bury him?
