The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 3: Flavorful words

In May of the 25th year of Wuwei, the princess Jingjiang and the princess Xiao Clan used Xia as the guardian to flatter the lord, and wanted to kill him, but was blocked by the king. Since then, the gap between the king, the princess and the princess has deepened.

–“Yong Shi·Biography of King King”

Xiao Lan’s eyebrows are erected, her expression is frosty, and she coldly said: “Well, since you still dare to quibble, then this palace will tell you to understand, what you have done this year, you need this palace one by one. Come on, as a subject, I don’t know how to persuade the lord, but I only know how to flatter the power and instigate the prince to do things that are not courteous. Don’t you deserve to die? You are unfaithful and unrighteous. Since you are such an unfaithful and unrighteous person, if you still have a little bit of conscience, you should slay yourself with a horizontal sword, do you still have to do it in your own palace?”

Xia Jinyi’s expression calmly said: “The subordinate is just a prodigal son, neither full of poems, nor peerless martial arts. What he is good at is just a few tricks of carving insects. His Royal Highness saved his subordinate’s life, and the subordinate has no retribution. I can only do my best to make my Royal Highness happy. If this is considered unfaithful, the subordinates have nothing to say. When it comes to unrighteousness, the subordinates recognize it, but the subordinates are only loyal to the Prince, so loyalty cannot have both. Well, let’s talk about the whole world, is it the king’s soil, the shore of the soil, is it the king’s minister, it is the prince who has something excessive, what does it matter? If not, why do you kill people instead of righteousness and relatives?”

Xiao Lan was at a loss for words, and Li Hanyou sneered: “What a stern slave, His Royal Highness is the emperor, and you are a minister. His Royal Highness can make mistakes, but you can’t. You have hindered your Highness’s cause, and this palace is too lazy. Judging with you, Sister, you don’t have to talk to this minion. It’s better to ask your Royal Highness to issue an order quickly. Naturally, the Crown Prince will be the master of the outside affairs, and the Crown Prince will be the master of the affairs of this palace.”

Xiao Lan immediately realized and said loudly: “Hurry up and tell my sister that Xia Jinyi, the slave who confuses the master, has been bound, please give me instructions.”

Xia Jinyi smiled coldly, and said to her heart, this Empress Lan concubine was very scheming, she did a good job of killing with a knife, but there was no fear in his heart. Death had long been a desperate thing for him.

Li Hanyou frowned slightly. She was originally just thinking that Xia Jinyi was just a villain who tends to be inferior to the flames. Once faced with life and death, this kind of person is often slavery and has no integrity at all. But now this young man just sneered slightly, not asking for mercy. Don’t cry, this makes Li Hanyou very uneasy, whether he has any way of self-protection, or is his nature like this, if this is the case, he may have done these hurtful things with ulterior motives.

In the dormitory of Crown Princess Cui, Xiuchun was kneeling on the ground and begging, Cui helplessly said: “This palace also knows that Xia Jinyi is your lover, and often speaks for me in front of the palace. There will be no gratitude, but Concubine Lan is right. His Royal Highness is our husband and our support. If the Crown Prince has an accident, how can we behave? Xia Jinyi will instigate His Highness to be romantic outside. If things spread, If you want to annoy the emperor, this palace is also a last resort.”

Xiu Chun cried and said: “Niang, the maidservant is not talking bad about Concubine Lan. In these years, the Concubine Lan has never looked at the concubine in her eyes. She asked her for her opinion on anything, and she gave orders to beat her. Thousands of words, why now I think of letting the empress order to dispose of people, besides, Jin Yi is not good in every way, he is loyal to the prince, and respects the empress, these days, the empress has not felt it, no matter what He always speaks nice things for the empress. Last year, the uncle did not inform him of the news, and the empress was still in the dark. If the empress was not crying and pleading in front of the temple, I am afraid that the uncle would be charged if he died. Everything is dead, what can your family do? It will also affect you and the young man. It depends on Jin Yi’s heart, you should help him too.”

Cui sighed: “Yes, this person really respects this palace. Over the past year, it has been extremely difficult for the concubines around the prince to see the prince. Only this palace is very convenient. The prince gave back to the soup and dim sum, and there are always a few days a month to stay here in the palace. I know that Xia Jinyi put a lot of thought into it.”

Xiuchun’s expression vigorously vibrated, and said: “Manny, the maidservant said something that shouldn’t be said. Although your Royal Highness has not treated you very well this year, he has not left you in the cold. How many times have you been here, how many times are now , His Majesty is no matter how romantic it is. What harm is there with the empress? If you order Xia Jinyi to be killed this time, you will be furious when your majesty comes back. At that time, the one who only said it was the empress, I am afraid that the prince will never again I’m here now. Who will take advantage of you? It’s not a matter of a day or two that covets your seat. You don’t think about yourself but also for the sake of the world. Let’s not say it is now, but in the future, after His Royal Highness becomes the throne, If there is not such a confidant by the prince’s side, how can you deal with those fox Meizi?”

The more Cui heard it, the more chilled he said, “Xiuchun, you are right, this palace was almost deceived by that bitch, you immediately go to give my order, saying that Xia Shiwei is the crown prince’s confidant. The palace is inconvenient to deal with, so he will be detained first, and then he will be handed over to the prince when he comes back.” Xiuchun was overjoyed and quickly sent the order in person.

Hearing Xiuchun’s reply, Xiao Lan’s beautiful face showed anger, she angrily said: “Okay, you are a cheap maid, but you are telling the truth, let your sister change your mind. I heard that you have a private relationship with this slave. Love, now it seems to be true, nothing else, this palace does not ask for help, today you must kill you adulterers and adulterers here.”

There was a look of fear on Xiu Chun’s face. She was worried about Xia Jinyi’s safety. This time she came to pass the order in person. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lan actually wanted to deal with her together. She was too scared to speak out, but she was ashamed. He looked stubborn and refused to beg for mercy. Xia Jinyi said coldly: “His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness have known about the affairs of Xiuchun, but the empress likes to serve Xiuchun, and His Highness also likes to serve her subordinates, so there is no rush to get married. A word, my subordinates don’t dare to be.”

Li Hanyou’s expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly: “What are you talking about with them, Sister, they are delaying time.”

Xiao Lan immediately stood up and said: “Come here, use torture. Beat me the dog and the man to death.”

Li Han said coldly: “That girl has her own master, she has no shame, and her master should teach her.”

Xiao Lan said: “Have you heard that, send Xiuchun back, and tell my sister to discipline this cheap maid. Still not tortured, what are you waiting for.”

Two guards came over, holding a red lacquered torture stick in their hands, and another court lady dragged Xiuchun away. Xiuchun struggled and cried out, “Xia Lang, Xia Lang.” But those few The lady of the court was so powerful that Xiuchun’s voice would soon be inaudible. The two guards walked to the kneeling Xia Jinyi, and one of them whispered: “The empress is watching from above, please forgive me that my subordinates cannot be merciful.” Said that a torture stick had been heavily hit on Xia Jinyi’s shoulder. Xia Jinyi only felt a sharp pain on his back, knowing that these people are going to cut the numbness with a quick knife, and a few sticks can break his spine, but although he usually looks like a wall of grass, he is facing that hard hatred enemy at this time. He would never beg for mercy. He closed his eyes, did not speak, gritted his teeth and waited for the next pain.

Who knows that the next stick was delayed. He opened his eyes and saw a big man with anger and wide-eyed eyes. He gripped the torture stick tightly. He exclaimed, “Brother.” It turned out that the man was exactly the same. His elder brother Zhang Jinxiong, at this moment he is full of majesty and terrible, and his eyes are full of murderousness.

Xiao Lan’s expression sank: “Manager Zhang, what are you going to do, dare to be rude to this palace.”

Zhang Jinxiong said coldly: “Xiao Lan, you don’t have to use your identity to press me. You are the master and I am the manager. But Zhang Jinxiong is the disciple of Kongtong, and you Xiao Lan is the Fengyimen. Brother Gao, when the Fengyimen envoys came to Kongtong to form an alliance, I was ordered by my teacher to come here for you to encourage you, but my junior, what hindered you, you actually wanted to kill him with a rod. Could it be that you really don’t take me Zhang Jinxiong to your heart? Come on, or think I will sit and watch him be insulted by you.”

Xiao Lan was furious and was about to speak. Li Hanyou was already coldly saying: “Daxia Zhang, this palace is fair, let’s not say that this person is a disciple of your Kongtong, now he has done it by your Highness’s side. What? Didn’t you hear any wind? We killed him to kill the people. You are the future leader of Kongtong. You should be clean and self-loving. How can you protect the wicked.”

Zhang Jinxiong said coldly: “Princess Jingjiang, don’t think of me as a fool. Jin Yi is wrong and not guilty of death. If you have the ability, it is better to persuade your Highness. Although my junior brother is not good enough, he It’s not a bad guy, or he’s acting for the tiger. You don’t want to kill the tiger, but you are embarrassed with my junior. It’s a good plan.”

Xiao Lan couldn’t bear it anymore and suddenly floated on her body. She didn’t have a sword in her hand, and her long sleeves curled up like a dragon and snake. When she reached Zhang Jinxiong, the dragon was already rising from the sea, and the strong wind swept towards Zhang Jinxiong. Zhang Jinxiong didn’t dare to neglect, and greeted him with a punch. This punch was intended to be the first, but it seemed to be true. It was the Shenmenquan that only the descendants of Kongtongdi School could practice. The sleeves crossed each other and Xiao Lan was forced to take a step back. , Her heart stunned. On weekdays, she relied on the unique mentality of the teacher, and her internal strength was not weak. I did not expect this Kongtong head disciple to have such a strong internal strength. Now that she had fear in her heart, she flew back, and Li Hanyou had already pulled out. She passed the long sword. She took the long sword and raised her flat finger. In a flash, she was already solemn and laid-back. Zhang Jinxiong said that the disciple of Fengyimen really deserves her reputation. A long sword makes her fierce and cruel. , Her light work is good, and the room is full of sword light in a blink of an eye. Zhang Jinxiong’s pair of iron palms did not show any weakness. Kongtong’s martial arts had already gone very well. Both of them must be saved when attacking the enemy. They used offense instead of defense. They fought for dozens of rounds in a blink of an eye. Although Xiao Lan Fa Qinggong is outstanding, but after all, she is just a woman, and she is always pampered, how can Zhang Jinxiong’s martial arts pure and rich in fighting experience, and gradually fall behind.

Li Hanyou frowned slightly on the side, if she changed someone, or she would give Zhang Jinxiong face, but this Xia Jinyi was out of her expectation and did something that tends to be inflamed, but she was actually stubborn and refused to plead guilty. , There is not even a trace of regret or fear. If he were to let him go today, he would definitely hold a grudge. In the past year, the prince had already become colder towards Xiao Lan. The influence of the prince. Thinking of this, she looked cold, and said lightly: “Zhang Daxia, Director Zhang, it seems that you must protect this villain, or let Hanyou ask you for advice.” After that, she floated forward to Zhang Jinxiong slapped his heart later, Zhang Jinxiong was being entangled by Xiao Lan, and Li Hanyou’s martial arts was on top of him. He was about to be injured by Li Hanyou. Xia Jinyi suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Li Hanyou. Li Hanyou’s eyes flashed with cold light and a palm split. Next, Xia Jinyi’s body fell like a broken kite. Li Hanyou saw that although Xia Jinyi’s mouth was bleeding and his expression was stern, but the light in his eyes was still there, he needed to make up a chapter when he fell. Xia Jinyi sneered coldly and lifted it up. A silver light flashed on the cuffs, and Li Hanyou’s heart shuddered. He already remembered that Kongtong disciples had several hidden weapons used to defend themselves. He quickly folded Liu waist and avoided it. The silver light entered the wall and disappeared. Li Hanyou sneered and said, “Look at what magic weapon you have to defend yourself.” As he stepped forward again, Xia Jinyi raised his hand again. Li Hanyou stretched out his jade hand this time, revealing the silver wristband, blocking the silver light, and then twisted it. The hidden weapon that stayed in the fall, looked carefully, but it was a five-inch long three-sided double-front needle made of polished and sharp stainless steel. If this kind of hidden weapon was hit by one, it would inevitably cause blood flow. Li Han You Leng Coldly said: “Okay, this palace will let you eat the fruits of your own life.” With a flick of his finger, the double-front needle shot at Xia Jinyi, and its momentum was extremely fast. Xia Jinyi couldn’t avoid it, but he looked at Li Hanyou. , That kind of bitter hatred made Li Hanyou feel cold. Just when the double-edged needle was about to shoot into Xia Jinyi’s heart. An angry voice came from outside: “Stop it.”

When I heard this voice, not only Li Hanyou’s expression changed, but even Xiao Lan and Zhang Jinxiong also held hands together. At this time, the hall door was kicked open and Li An angrily walked in. Li Hanyou was fortunate that he had killed Xia Jinyi, but saw that Xia Jinyi had already crawled to the ground and rushed towards Li An, knelt in front of him and cried loudly: “His Royal Highness, save the lives of your subordinates, Empress Lan and Princess Princess. To kill the subordinates.”

Li Hanyou was taken aback for a moment, why this person hasn’t died yet. The prince hurriedly asked: “You have nothing to do. I rushed back as soon as I heard it, and it was very timely.”

Seeing Xia Jinyi unbuttoning his coat, he was wearing a protective goggles inside. Now it has been cracked by the double-front needle. Xia Jinyi cried: “The subordinates can hardly see your highness.”

Li An was furious and said: “Li Hanyou, the lonely housework does not require you to intervene, you, you go.”

Li Hanyou sighed and said: “His Royal Highness, since you refuse to accept the faithful words, what else does your concubine have to say, but this person really can’t stay, please think twice.” Li An was not moved, and said coldly: “I know it, you go.”

Li Han sighed as a gift, and left the house. Xiao Lan looked a little nervous, and stepped forward to hesitantly: “His Royal Highness, the concubine is just…” Before she finished speaking, a servant came in from the outside and said: “Master Lan, the princess is going to talk…” Before she finished speaking, Seeing the iron-green face of the prince, he knelt in fright. Li An said coldly: “What did the princess ask you to say?”

The **** tremblingly said: “The empress said,’Since Concubine Lan, you are so bold and presumptuous, you have taken care of your Royal Highness’s beloved guards, and tied back the maid of the palace. This palace will write a letter to the queen empress, this princess. You come and do it.'” Hearing this, Ang Li couldn’t bear it anymore, and with a wave of his hand, he swept the tea on the table to the ground, a mess. Ang Li furiously said: “Xiao Lan, hello, arrogant If you don’t want to deal with Gu’s confidant, you still have to force the princess to give way. Gu will write to the emperor tomorrow and abandon you. You alone cannot be worthy of your senior brother from Fengyi.

Xiao Lan was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: “His Royal Highness calms down his anger. It is the concubine’s or not. I beg your Highness to see that it is for the sake of your concubine. Please spare your concubine.”

Although Li Ang was very angry, but remembering the importance of Fengyimen to him, if he is expelled from Xiao Lan~IndoMTL.com~ I am afraid that the crown prince will soon be lost, and he can’t help but hesitate. At this time, Xia Jinyi Said: “His Royal Highness, all the subordinates are not good. I offended Concubine Lan. The Concubine Princess was also angry with the empress because of this. If your Highness allows you to ask the minister to make a payment to Concubine Lan, the empress will certainly spare her. .”

Li Ang looked at Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan also knew that this was a step, and quickly said: “This palace does not blame you anymore. From now on you must be cautious in your words and deeds.”

Xia Jinyi quickly said yes, and Li Ang said with satisfaction: “That’s it, Concubine Lan, you go to the princess to apologize, if you offend her, the father and queen will not agree to it.” Xiao Lan is already. I was very regretful, and shouldn’t let anyone talk about it, and quickly said: “The concubine must go immediately, please rest assured, your highness.”

Li Ang nodded with satisfaction, and said: “Also, Xia Jinyi, don’t go back with Gu.”

Xia Jinyi hurriedly followed the prince to leave, and gave the brother a grateful look when he left. When he was far away, Zhang Jinxiong said with a cold expression: “The subordinates are leaving.” Xiao Lan quickly said: “Ms. Zhang, it’s all bad in the house, please don’t take it to heart, so as not to hurt the friendship between the two families.”

Zhang Jinxiong said indifferently: “The empress is a king, and Jinxiong is a minister. How dare you take this matter to your heart? My junior has a pitiful background, or has some improper behavior, but he is kind by nature, so I ask the empress to open up .”

Xiao Lan smiled bitterly: “Do you really know what he did?”

Zhang Jinxiong said coldly: “This is exactly what Jinxiong wants to ask Niang Niang. For such a master, Feng Yimen really thinks it is worth protecting. Jinxiong will report the matter to the teacher and ask Niang Niang to ask herself. Is Jin Yi really to blame for those things?”

Xiao Lan looked solemn and did not answer. Looking at Zhang Jinxiong’s back, she whispered: “This time I really made a mistake. I have to remedy it, otherwise the master will blame it. What can I do?”
