Elder Amitabha seemed to be thinking at night, and he could not sleep all night. After Yao fell asleep, he added some soothing and hypnotic incense to the incense burner to prevent Yao from waking up and finding out that he was not there.
He said softly in front of Yao's bed: "Madam, you can sleep peacefully. I am going to get back what belongs to us now."
After Amitao finished speaking, he gently kissed Yao's forehead. Then he closed the door gently, jumped up to the high beam, and jumped out of the prince's palace from the southeast wall with the help of the night.
General Qinglin, who was hiding on the roof of Juyuan Restaurant, caught the dark shadow of Amitabha. He immediately followed him, but his Qinggong was far from that of Amitabha. He didn't get far away from him before Amitabha's shadow came from behind. It disappeared before his eyes.
General Qinglin had no choice but to find a hiding place at a commanding height nearby, waiting for the dark figure leaving the prince's palace to pass by again in order to confirm his true identity and see who he was.
But General Qinglin waited on the high beam for almost the whole night, but did not see the strange black shadow passing by here again.
The general thought, "Did the man in black never return to the Prince's Mansion after he came out? Then where did he go?"
After Amitabha left the prince's house late at night, he went straight to Yuzhi's mansion. He sneaked into Yuzhi's bedroom secretly. He slowly opened the curtain of Yuzhi's bed. In order to prevent Mrs. Yuzhi from being awakened, Amitao performed an acupuncture point in the air. The method used was to tap Liu's sleeping point, making Liu fall asleep.
Yuzhi, who was sleeping, felt someone beside him and was immediately woken up. Under the dim light coming from outside the house, Yuzhi saw a blurry face. He was about to call for the guards, but Amitao motioned him to take a look. His wife is still sleeping beside him.
Yuzhi immediately reflexively covered his mouth that was about to scream, fearing that Amitabha would hurt his wife.
Amitao signaled Yuzhi to get up from the bed. Amitao put down the bed curtain, Yuzhi put on his coat, and Yuzhi and Amitao came to the table and sat down together.
Yuzhi pretended to be calm and asked: "Who are you, and why did you break into my mansion in the middle of the night? What do you want to do?"
Amitabha waved his fingers, and the candle on the candlestick not far away slowly lit up a bright flame.
Under the bright light, Yuzhi finally saw clearly that the person sitting in front of him was none other than Prince Amitabha. Although Yuzhi was extremely reluctant, facing Amitabha's power, he quickly stood up against his will and saluted him. He said: "It turns out to be Prince Amitabha. I wonder why you visited my mansion and entered my bedroom in the middle of the night?"
Amitabha threatened: "It's a dark and windy night this month, and it's a day of murder and arson. What do you think I want to do in this life, going through so much trouble to sneak into your mansion in the middle of the night?"
When Amitabha said this, Yuzhi felt a chill on his back. Yuzhi knew that Amitabha was a lunatic. What he said was not necessarily to intimidate him. He could do anything. Although he was very scared in his heart, But he still tried his best to suppress it and said with a forced smile: "The elder is joking. I have no enmity with you. What will the elder do here?"
"Haven't you heard that a common man is guilty of carrying a jade when he is not guilty?"
Yuzhi raised his hands and said, "But look at my empty hands, there is nothing worth worrying about."
"What I want is not your possessions, what I want is your status in the Jiuli Dynasty."
"Your Majesty is already a nobleman, and your subordinate is just an insignificant minister. How could your Majesty covet my humble official?"
"Sometimes you, a humble official, are much more effective than me, a prince and nobleman. You are a smart man. I came to you tonight for one thing. If you obey me, your wife and children will be spared from death." , otherwise tomorrow will be the anniversary of your death."
When Yuzhi heard this, he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart. Yuzhi immediately knelt down and prayed: "Please don't hurt my family, please."
"The lives of your whole family and the entire Yu family are in your hands. Whether they live or die depends on what you do?"
Yuzhi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with your official position? Are you willing to show your dignity and let me go?"
"It seems that Lord Yuzhi is starting to become smarter now. I don't understand. Everyone is obviously smart, why do they communicate in a stupid way? You get up first, and I will give you a slow speak."
Yuzhi slowly stood up from the ground and sat back on the stool opposite Amitabha. His whole body was still shaking involuntarily.
"I want you to do two things for me. Once you do it, you and I will share the glory and wealth. I will also let you enjoy royal treatment from generation to generation. If not, I guarantee that everyone in your Yufu will never see tomorrow. of the sun.”
Yuzhi knew that he had no choice, let alone the right to bargain. For the lives of hundreds of people in Yufu, he had no choice but to accept any request from Amitabha.
"I don't know what the prince's instructions are. Yu Zhi will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Amitabha said happily: "I like people like you who know the current affairs and are heroes. The first thing is that I want Chi You to die. Although Chi You has been thrown into the heavenly prison by Jiuli Patriarch, his crime has been shelved If you don’t do it, and you haven’t been able to convict him for a long time, I want you to unite with your party members in the court tomorrow morning to report to Jiuli Patriarch, to convict Chi You as soon as possible and send him to the guillotine.”
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Chi You has violated the laws of Jiuli. He should be punished according to the law. Even if your Majesty doesn't remind him, his subordinates will do the same."
"That's very good, but it must be done quickly. I'm afraid things may change if it's too late.
My second thing is that I want you to report to the ancestor of Jiuli at tomorrow's morning meeting and appoint me as regent to assist him in managing all Jiuli affairs. I will take over the authority of Jiuli in the future. "
"My lord, do you want the position of King Jiuli?"
"Yes, that throne originally belonged to me. If I do this, I have to take back what originally belonged to me. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"However, Your Majesty, don't be impatient. We can only proceed step by step. We must not rush for quick success. After all, this is a huge project to change the dynasty. If we do not act cautiously, once something goes wrong, you and I will be devastated, and it will also affect those around us. everyone."
Amitabha thought for a moment and said: "What you said makes sense, so let's proceed step by step? In your opinion, how should we take this first step?"
Yuzhi would not commit such a serious crime of beheading without high benefits. He asked Amitabha again, "I wonder if the prince has promised to make the descendants of my Yu family princes for generations after the deed is completed. Can it really be done?" cash?"
"As long as you help me sit on the throne of King Jiuli, I promise to make your Yu family a marquis for generations to come."
"Since the prince has promised me prosperity and wealth for generations to come, Yuzhi hereby swears an oath to you and is loyal to the prince to the death. Yuzhi will do my best in my life to lift you up to the throne of King Jiuli, so that you can dominate the world and be trusted by all people. Mobai.”
Amitabha said calmly: "Oaths are the most useless thing to me. I only believe in one thing, and that is absolute control over the fate of the person I use and his life."
Amitabha took out a pill from his waist and handed it to Yuzhi, saying: "This is the 'Shimui Pill'. After you take it, the poisonous insects in the pill will be released and penetrate into your blood vessels. The blood flow from your whole body enters your brain and lives in your brain from then on. Without my antidote, it will slowly eat your brain and make you worse than death."
When Yuzhi heard this, all the hairs on his body stood up. With trembling hands, he took the 'marrow pill' from Amitabha's hand and looked at Amitabha with a pair of hesitant and frightened eyes, hoping that he could take back his life and not let it happen. He took the poison pill.
But Yuzhi only waited for Amitabha's words, "Don't worry, sir. After you take this pill, as long as you take the antidote I give you on time every month, it will not have any effect on you." It works, but this is not the real antidote for the 'Marrow Pill'. It can only help you temporarily suppress the poisonous insects in your body and prevent them from attacking.
As long as you do things for me obediently, I will send you the antidote on time, otherwise you will know the consequences! After I sit on the throne of Jiuli King and get back what belongs to me, I will give you the real antidote to get rid of this 'Shimui Pill', so that you can share the glory and wealth of Jiuli, and even the entire world. . But before that, I have to make you take this "marrow-eating pill" to show your absolute loyalty to me. "
Yuzhi knew in his heart that if he did not take the pill given to him by Amitabha today, he would lose Amitabha's trust. At that time, not only him, but the entire Yufu family would not be able to escape Amitabha's clutches. . For the sake of Yufu and his family, Yuzhi had no choice but to throw the pill into his mouth and swallow it in front of Amitabha.
Amitabha smiled slightly and said: "Okay, from now on, you and I will be grasshoppers on the same rope. From now on, you and I will share blessings, bear hardships together, and live and die together."
Yuzhi knew that these words of Amitabha were just words. He would live and die with him there, and he was just one of his pawns.
But Amitao still forced a smile and said: "To win the prince... no, it should be that the king thinks so highly of me. It is a fool's fortune. I will definitely do my best to serve the king."
"I think it's too early to call me 'King'. When that day comes, when you make me truly the King of Jiuli, you can call me that again! I don't want to be just an empty King. In other words, I will only be the king of a few of you, but I want to be the king of the Jiuli clan and the king of all people in the world."
"Yes, I will definitely make the prince's wish come true. Tomorrow I will unite with the ministers to put pressure on Jiuli Patriarch and ask him to execute Chi You as soon as possible. Then it will be a natural thing for the prince to succeed to the throne."
After hearing this, Amitabha was very satisfied with Yuzhi's plan, "I hope you won't let me down tomorrow."
