"My promise to your majesty is worth a thousand dollars. There's no reason to go back on it. It's just that..." He stopped and said with a smile: "the general really thinks that the chaos in the western regions lies in the two princes?"

"Of course," replied morrow without thinking

Zhang Qiling bowed his head with a smile, "general, have you ever thought about why, all the time, Lao Hanwang Mingming wanted the eldest prince to inherit the throne, but before he died, he passed the position of Hanwang to the third prince, that is, Rogge Khan now?"

Molo said: "what's so strange about this? The elder brother is irritable and irritable. Although the third brother doesn't talk much, he has a steady temperament and is more suitable to lead our family than the elder brother."

"In this case, why did Lao Hanwang never mention it before?" Zhang Qiling's repeated questioning made Moluo impatient. "It's a matter within our family. You're just a minister of Zhou Dynasty. What are you doing so carefully?"

Zhang Qiling looked at the scattered fire in the distance and said word by word: "because Lao Hanwang didn't really want to pass the throne to Rogge."

"Don't talk nonsense!" he said

"More than two months ago, Lao Hanwang suddenly had a strange disease and was bedridden. Rogge took care of him day and night by his couch and invited many doctors to come to see him. He could not find out what kind of disease he was suffering from. However, a few days later, Lao Hanwang was so sick that he could not get enough food and water. It was at this time that he unexpectedly passed the throne to Rogge. On the night of the throne passing, Lao Hanwang passed away "You're right, I'm right?"

Morrow looked at him suspiciously. "How do you know?"

"It's not a secret, just a little bit of inquiry." Hunting in the night wind, blowing the Cape of robe, flying in the night, "general, have you ever thought that old Han Wang has always been strong, why did he suddenly get sick?"

This time, even if Molo was dull, he could hear something in Zhang Qiling's words, "what do you want to say?"

"If I'm not wrong, Lao Hanwang is not ill at all. He was poisoned, and the person who poisoned is..." Before he finished speaking, the cold light in the night was suddenly bright, and a sharp steel knife was across his neck. What came into his eyes was Molo's murderous face. "Dare to say another word, I'll kill you now!"

Zhang Qiling did not look at the knife across his neck. He said calmly, "general, you might as well think about that day and see if it's my nonsense?"

Molo was about to speak when his father's eyes on Rogge when he was about to pass the throne suddenly flashed in his mind. For a moment, he saw that his father's eyes were full of disgust and fear. At that time, he thought that his eyes were wrong. Now when he thinks about it carefully, it seems that

No, it won't be. The third brother is not such a person. It's the messengers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who talk nonsense and deliberately provoke!

After thinking for a moment, Moluo took back the steel knife and said with no expression: "for the sake of Emperor Zhou, I don't think I've heard all that nonsense just now, but it's only this time. For the second time, even if you're a messenger of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, you can't leave alive." Without waiting for Zhang Qiling's words, he said, "I know your martial arts are not weak, but this is the western region. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't stop thousands of soldiers of our family."

Zhang Qiling stroked his neck, which was slightly tingling. It was as red as a peach blossom blooming at his fingertips. He was not angry. He calmly said, "it's easy for the general to kill me, but the price will be the destruction of the whole western region."

Moluo's cheek twitched violently, and said in a cold voice, "you don't have to threaten me. You slander King Han first, and I'll kill you. Of course, Emperor Zhou has no reason to send troops. If he has to be rude and unreasonable, he will send troops to attack, that is to force us to join hands with the Western Chu."

Zhang Qiling's eyes were shining. "Do you think that if you join hands with the Western Chu, you can escape the disaster of extermination? Ridiculous

Moluo snorted coldly, "I know you have a million soldiers in the Western Chu, but it's not sure that you can win. Once our family has an accident, the eastern and northern regions will send troops to reinforce. At that time, the three nationalities will join hands and add Qi and Chu. No matter how strong you are in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, you can't resist it."

Zhang Qiling chuckle, like a spring breeze, "when did I say I will send troops?"

Moro was stunned and said, "you just said..."

"The western regions will be destroyed, but not in my hands, but Rogge!"

"No way!" Moro shook his head again and again, "he is the king of sweat, how can he destroy his country."

"In this tribute, Rogge borrowed troops from his majesty, saying that as long as the civil strife was calmed down, it would belong to our court, and then he became a minister. Unfortunately There is not a word of truth

Moluo said unhappily: "Han Wang has a lot to say. How can he break his word? I don't like to deal with you people from Central Plains. I'm suspicious all day and I'm not happy at all."

Zhang Qiling took out a letter from his sleeve, "general, please have a look."

"What is this?" Morrow took it in doubt. When he saw the content of the letter, his face suddenly changed. He said in disbelief, "where did you get this letter?"

"It doesn't matter how I got it. What matters is the content of the letter. Rogge cheated everyone, including the general."

"No way It's impossible... " Morrow murmured, his face not a trace of blood in the moonlight, he bowed his head, wanted to read the letter again, but could not summon courage.This is a letter to the emperor of Chu, which details the plan for the increase of troops in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. These things were just discussed by several of them yesterday. There was no signature at the end of the letter, but he could recognize the handwriting even if it turned into ashes after reading it for decades.

But he didn't understand. Didn't the third brother hate the emperor Chu and support the elder brother and the second brother? How could he contact with him secretly and tell him all about the plan of increasing troops in the Northern Zhou Dynasty?

Seeing his doubts, Zhang Qiling said calmly: "the emperor of Chu seems to support the two princes, but it's just a cover. Rogge is the one who really allied with him. The purpose is to lead our Dynasty to send troops and annihilate them at one stroke. That's why he repeatedly asked for more troops when discussing yesterday."

"Han Wang is not like that." Moro's explanation was so weak that he could not even convince him. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "what's the good for Hanwang?"

Zhang Qiling looked around. "It's very simple. It's very cold outside the Great Wall, but the Central Plains is rich in products and has a suitable climate. For more than a hundred years, the East, West and North regions have all wanted to dominate the Central Plains, but they have no chance. If you can conquer the Northern Zhou Dynasty, not to mention half of the territory, even a quarter will be enough for you to enjoy. "

Moro was silent. I don't know how long later, he took a long breath and nodded: "you're right. It's our people's dream to be in the central plains all the time. No wonder King Han will calculate you like this." With these words, he slowly pulled out the steel knife which was not long in and out of the sheath. The point of the knife was Zhang Qiling.
