Hou Ying sat down, looking very relaxed.

This old man, who had white hair, sloppy clothes, and was full of alcohol, actually had the feeling of a wise man at this moment.

I saw Hou Ying open his mouth and say to Xinling Jun: "The minister has heard that the king and Na Ruji have a great kindness, dare to ask the king if there is such a thing?" ”

Wei Wuji nodded and said, "This is indeed the case. ”

Who is Ruhime? Ruji is the number one favorite concubine of Wei Wangyu today, and she is the only woman in the palace city of Wei who can compete for favor with Longyang Jun Gaoji.

The story between Ruji and Wei Wuji is actually quite old-fashioned.

Ruji's father was a minister of Wei who originally belonged to the faction of Meng Weijun Tian Wen, who was assassinated by assassins sent by political enemies after Tian Wen lost power.

Ruhime's family once offered a high bounty for revenge, but after several years, nothing was found.

Ruji, who was still a girl at the time, in order to avenge her father, personally took her younger brother to kneel at the gate of Xinling Jun's Mansion for a whole day, and finally waited for Wei Wuji, who returned from going out.

After listening to the girl's story, Wei Wuji used the powerful intelligence network of the Xinling Monarch's Mansion to find out the truth, wiped out the assassins and the main messengers behind the scenes, and brought the heads of these enemies to Ru Ji so that she could pay tribute to her deceased father.

Since then, Ruhime's family has become a hardcore ally of Shinling-kun in the court.

A few years later, with the help of Wei Wuji, Ruji successfully entered the palace, and lived up to expectations and successfully favored Wei Wangyu with her appearance and charm, changing the previous situation that Wei Wangyu favored Longyang Jun Gaoji but abandoned many beauties in the Wei harem.

It was also with the help of Ruji's pillow wind that although the situation Wei Wuji had faced over the years had gotten worse and worse, it had not been so bad that it was irreparable.

Wei Wuji looked at Hou Ying a little strangely, not knowing why Hou Ying would mention Ruji.

Hou Ying continued: "The minister once heard that the soldier talisman is often in the king's bedroom, such as Ji is favored by the king, often in and out of his bedroom, and wants to come to be able to steal the talisman. The king can ask Ruji to steal this talisman, and then the king can hold the talisman to Yecheng, so that Jin can save Zhao and reject Qin, and the big thing can be done. ”

"Stealing Talisman?" Wei Wuji was shocked when he heard this.

The soldier talisman, also known as the tiger talisman, is definitely a very important token in this era.

Generally speaking, the talisman is in the hands of the king in peacetime, and when the army is sent out, it is divided into two halves, with the king keeping half for himself and giving the other half to the commander-in-chief.

This half of the talisman is equivalent to the so-called Shang Fang Sword in later generations, which is the proof of the power of the commander of the army.

When the army is on the march, if the king sitting in the capital wants to give orders to the commander or even change the candidate, then he needs to send an envoy with the edict and the half of the talisman in the king's hand as proof.

For example, not long ago, the Changping Qin State changed its commander, and Bai Qi held the right half of the talisman given by Qin Wangji to replace Wang Di, who originally had the left half of the talisman.

As long as he has the military talisman, then Wei Wuji can rush to mobilize the 100,000 troops of Jin in front of Wei Wangyu's envoy and send troops to aid Zhao!

It does sound like a good idea, and while it's a bit risky, it doesn't seem like it's out of the question.

What's more, apart from Hou Ying's method, Wei Wuji and Zhao Sheng couldn't think of any other better way for a while.

So Zhao Sheng agreed almost immediately.

It's just that Wei Wuji obviously looked a little hesitant, and only said after a while: "If Ru Ji steals the talisman, then the king will notice it, how can Ru Ji live?" In this way, have I harmed Ruji's life? ”

Hou Ying seemed to have expected this, and immediately said: "The minister heard that Ruji had said to those close to him that he wanted to die for the king in order to repay the king's kindness." Today, please be like Ji stealing talismans, isn't this like Ji repaying her kindness with death? Please do not hesitate to avoid missing the opportunity. ”

Zhao Sheng on the side also joined the camp to help persuade him, but no matter how the two persuaded him, Wei Wuji seemed quite hesitant, obviously very reluctant to let Ruji sacrifice.

After another moment, Hou Ying's face was straight, and his eyes suddenly burst into an astonishing look, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, this Changping war is in danger, and this is the time when Zhao and Wei are in danger. How could the king make millions of people in the two countries fall into a situation of death and lifelessness for the sake of Ruji and a woman? If Wei dies because of this, how will the king face the first king underground? ”

This sentence finally touched Wei Wuji.

A moment later, a man who looked to be about fifty years old, with an ordinary appearance, a cold expression, and his sideburns that were beginning to turn white, walked into the study and bowed to Wei Wuji: "Chen Tang, I have seen your lordship. ”

Tang Ji, Wei Wuji's number one henchman, was in charge of the intelligence network of the entire Xinling Monarch's Mansion.

The reason why Wei Wuji was able to learn that Wei Wangyu would send an envoy to order Jin to attack Zhao tomorrow was precisely because Tang, who disguised himself as Wei Wuji's chauffeur, secretly connected with Ruji's people when Wei Wuji met Wei Wangyu, and then obtained information from Ruji.

Wei Wuji looked at Tang Ji with blazing eyes, and said, "Tang Ji, I have something urgent to inform Ruji, you may enter the palace and meet Ruji?" ”

When Zhao Sheng, the plain monarch on the side, heard this, he couldn't help but be a little worried.

It is not an easy thing to enter the palace late at night, and to enter the palace secretly.

However, to Zhao Sheng's surprise, Tang He actually responded without any hesitation: "This matter is Yi'er, I don't know what the king wants to tell Ruji?" ”

Wei Wuji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I want to ask Ruji to steal the Great King's Talisman and save Zhao." ”

Tang Ji was obviously taken aback when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "In this case, the minister will leave." ”

Just as Tang He was about to turn to leave, Wei Wuji suddenly stopped him.

"Tang And, after getting the talisman, can you take Ruji out of the palace?"

Tang He's footsteps stopped, and after a while, he said, "Do your best."

Tang He left the study, and Wei Wuji, Zhao Sheng, and Hou Ying were left in the study again.

Wei Wuji didn't continue to speak, but pondered something.

Zhao Sheng glanced at Hou Ying opposite, and saw a hint of disapproval in Hou Ying's eyes.

Obviously, Hou Ying had some opinions about Wei Wuji's need to take Ruji's life into account at this moment.

In fact, not only Hou Ying, but even Zhao Sheng himself thought so.

In this era when human life is as cheap as a dog, what is the life of a mere woman?

In order to maintain his reputation, didn't Zhao Sheng kill one of his most beloved concubines directly?

But no matter what, after all, Wei Wuji was the one who made the final decision, so Zhao Sheng didn't say anything, but sat quietly in the study and waited.

Waiting is always the most boring thing in the world.

I waited for two hours.

It wasn't until the sound of a rooster crowing outside the window that a rush of footsteps finally approached from the corridor outside.

At the moment when the footsteps came, Zhao Sheng, who was already a little drowsy, straightened his body and opened his eyes at the same time.

The door of the study was opened, and Tang entered first, followed by a fragrant breeze.

Zhao Sheng took a closer look and found that behind Tang He was a woman dressed as a palace maid, this woman had a slender figure, fair complexion, pretty appearance, face like melon seeds, eyes like crescent moon, although she was only dressed in ordinary palace clothes, but she had a dignified charm.

"It seems that this woman is Ruji. This woman is so beautiful, no wonder Xinlingjun can't give up. Zhao Sheng thought to himself in his heart, and many gossip thoughts poured out.

Tang He walked up to Wei Wuji, took out an object from his arms, and handed it over with both hands.

"Your Majesty, Tang is fortunate not to be dishonored."
