"Sledgehammer, this time I am planning to enter Beijing secretly! You will leave 30,000 elite troops to garrison Liangzhou to prevent those Qiang and Di people who surrendered from turning against each other again. Bring the rest of the troops back to Yongzhou."
Wang Dachui patted his chest and said, "Brother Yi, no problem. So how many people are you going to bring with you to Beijing this time?"
Zhou Yi pondered for a while and said: "Since we are going to Beijing secretly, we can't bring too many people with us. Just help me order 20 skilled people to come with me to Beijing!"
"Hehe! Brother Yi, should I be considered as one of the best in my skills? How about I go to the capital with you?"
The reason why Wang Dachui wanted to go to the capital with Zhou Yi was because he wanted to bring back the ten beauties sent to him by Yan Song, the traitorous prime minister. Because this time the Huns invaded the border, the ten beauties had been left in the capital.
"Sledgehammer, what are you thinking about? My trip to the capital this time is a secret one. Besides, when you return to Yongzhou this time, I have one more important thing to entrust to you."
When he heard that Zhou Yi had entrusted him with something important, Wang Dachui's originally cynical appearance immediately became serious.
Wang Dachui patted his chest and promised, "Brother Yi, don't worry about what I do!"
Zhou Yi looked at Wang Dachui, he looked confident, nodded, and said: "Dachui, don't we have King Youxian and the Huns' beloved concubine Da Yueque in our hands now!"
Wang Dachui knew what Zhou Yi wanted to do, and he said excitedly: "Brother Yi, do you want to use the two of them to exchange for some supplies with the Xiongnu Chanyu?"
"Yes, I want to trade the two of them with the Xiongnu Chanyu for some cattle, sheep and horses!"
"One of them is King You Xian, who is known as the wise man of the Xiongnu grassland, and the other is the favorite concubine of Wuwan Chanyu of the Xiongnu. Both of them have high status on the grassland, so the exchange of cattle, sheep and horses is indispensable!"
Wang Dachui also smiled and said: "We must have a big mouth this time, otherwise how can we afford the cost of sending troops!"
Zhou Yi also agreed with Wang Dachui's views, but Zhou Yi still reminded: "It is best to choose Khitans to send envoys to negotiate with the Huns this time. This will further intensify the Huns' hatred of the Khitans." .”
After hearing this, Wang Dachui couldn't help but give Zhou Yi a thumbs up, "Brother Yi, it has to be you, you are the only one who can think of such a sinister idea!"
"Okay, hurry up and arrange the arrangements. I'll be back in the capital."
Not long after, Wang Dachui selected 20 soldiers with high martial arts skills, and rushed to the capital with Zhou Yi in a hurry.
The spring night is short and the sun is high, and from now on the king will not go to court early. The Chen court had long been accustomed to Li Xuanji's absence from the morning court for many days, so no one thought much about it.
That is to say, the treacherous prime minister Yan Song would ask Wei Zhongxian from time to time about the emperor's appetite recently.
Wei Zhongxian also realized that there were some flaws in his arrangement.
So after deceiving Yan Song, Wei Zhongxian arranged for several eunuchs to pretend to be the emperor in the emperor's palace, eating and drinking day and night.
But continuing like this is still not an option. In particular, many of Li Xuanji's princes would come to the palace from time to time to pay their respects to the emperor.
Whenever this happened, Wei Zhongxian would hold on for a while and say that His Majesty was playing with the Imperial Concubine and did not want to be disturbed, so he refused to see her on this reason.
Once or twice is okay, but if time goes by, the princes will definitely notice the clues. If someone discovers that the emperor is dead, they will not mourn in secret. In that case, Wei Zhongxian himself and the noble concubine Li Wanji may be dead.
Seven days have passed since Emperor Li Xuanji died due to his indulgence in lust. During this period, both Li Wanji and Wei Zhongxian were in fear all day long.
On this day, Bai Sheng dressed as a eunuch and entered the palace with Wei Zhongxian's waistband.
When Wei Zhongxian and Li Wanji saw Bai Sheng entering the palace, they thought it was Zhou Yi who had sent him a rescue method, and quickly pulled him to the palace where Li Xuanji's body was parked.
Wei Zhongxian couldn't wait to ask Bai Sheng: "Oh, shopkeeper Bai, you are finally here!"
"I wonder if you have brought Mr. Zhou's solution to the problem this time?"
Bai Sheng, who had a sly eyebrow, first secretly looked at Li Xuanji who was surrounded by ice blocks, and found that his second brother was still very strong.
"Oh, shopkeeper Bai, please stop looking at him. He won't survive if you look at him again!"
Bai Sheng shook his head and said, "My master didn't ask anyone to bring any news..."
Wei Zhongxian and Li Wanji, who was standing next to her, turned pale after hearing this.
"Oh my God! I am going to die too!" Wei Zhongxian fell to the ground.
Li Wanji's legs became weak for a moment and she collapsed to the ground. Bai Sheng hurried to help the soft and boneless beauty Li Wanji.
It was at this time and opportunity that the wretched Bai Sheng could get up close and personal with this demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.
Bai Sheng tried his best to put on his most handsome smile to comfort Li Wanji, but no matter how Bai Sheng smiled, the smile was still extremely wretched.
"Don't worry, Madam. Although my master has not asked anyone to bring news, he has arrived in the capital two days ago."
Wei Zhongxian, who had a dead look on his face, immediately lit up after hearing this.
Wei Zhongxian crawled up to Bai Sheng and asked in surprise: "Shopkeeper Bai should be serious, Master Zhou has really arrived in the capital?"
Bai Sheng nodded firmly and said, "After receiving the news from Eunuch Wei, my master rushed to the capital without stopping."
"In the past two days, he has been spending all his time thinking about how to break this deadlock for your concubine and Eunuch Wei!"
Wei Zhongxian and Li Wanji both burst into tears after hearing this.
"If we can survive this crisis, my wife and I will definitely do whatever we can to repay Master Zhou!"
Wei Zhongxian turned around and said to Li Wanji: "Mother, I will go out of the palace tonight to meet Mr. Zhou. I believe Mr. Zhou will have a way to get us out of this predicament!"
This is when Bai Sheng said again: "To be honest, my master also said that your crisis this time is really too great. So far, he has only come up with half a solution, and this half of a solution requires Eunuch Wei." It will take a lot of cooperation!”
It was a matter of family and life, so Wei Zhongxian nodded and agreed without thinking: "Cooperate, our family will naturally cooperate!"
"My eldest master said that when you leave the palace to meet him tonight, you must bring some handwriting that His Majesty once drafted himself!"
Wei Zhongxian was very confused about this and asked puzzledly: "I don't know, what does Mr. Zhou want from His Majesty's handwriting?"
"How did I know this? Eunuch Wei just said that he would fully cooperate with my master, and now he is asking all kinds of questions. Could it be that he can't trust us?"
Bai Sheng's rhetorical question immediately left Wei Zhongxian speechless. At this time, the noble concubine Li Wanji stood up and said: "Isn't it written by His Majesty himself? Eunuch Wei, this is related to our wealth and life, so we can't be careless!"
Wei Zhongxian immediately nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. I'll send someone to find him right now."
"No, no, no, I'll go find it myself!"
