297 Summoned death row inmates
After Li Yuanfang and Wang Yue retreated, Liu Wei immediately gave instructions to the system: "Check for me the summoning privileges and points that can be used?" β
"Ding-dong...... Because of the last time Li Jing exploded the table, the host got an unlimited summoning privilege, which can be used currently. The designated character has the privilege of choosing one of the two, and since the host currently only has 15 pleasure points and 8 hatred points, it is currently unavailable. β
"Then use this unlimited privilege to summon, and specify the range as assassination, okay?"
Although it is a bit of a waste to consume a privilege like this, Liu Wei, who has a lot of money, doesn't care, isn't there still Gao Zhong and Zhang Juzheng lining up behind to explode the table, if you don't solve Tao Qian's old age, I really can't swallow this bad breath!
As long as Tao Qian is dead, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou can be connected together, so that the transportation of baggage in the three places can become unimpeded, which is of great strategic significance.
"Ding-dong...... The system prompts that the host chooses to focus on the Assassin range and can perform the summon. However, due to the low force of the candidate Assassins in the number of JΓΉ Vaults, the lower limit of this summon was lowered to 85 force. Please wait a moment, the system will execute the summon immediately! β
"Minimum force 85? Can this kind of force kill Tao Qian'er? If you are sent to death in vain after you get to Xiapi, it will be a big loss! Listening to the system's prompts, Liu Wei suddenly felt a little worried.
But there is no turning back from the bow, the system has begun to execute the summoning procedure, and he has already told Li Yuanfang and Wang Yue to die, but when the time comes, the assassin will not be pushed, which will also damage the majesty of the Son of Heaven. So far. I can only summon it head-on, and I believe that the system will not pit itself!
Besides. The most important thing for an assassin is his assassination skills and experience, as well as the ability to seize opportunities and create opportunities. and not force; As long as the killing game can be set up, 85's force is enough to succeed in a surprise assassination. In terms of martial arts alone, Sun Ce can be regarded as the world's first-class, and in the end, he didn't die at the hands of a few unknown people!
Most of the famous assassins in history were concentrated before the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, such as Jing Ke, Nie Zheng, Yao Li, Zhuan Zhu and others, or tragic or heroic, all from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the famous assassins after the end of the Han Dynasty are really only a handful. And none of them are known for their superiority in force.
Of course, it is not a good thing for the dry assassin industry to be famous, being famous means failure or death, and being able to do what Li Bai described "brushing off your clothes and hiding your merit and fame" is the top. However, Heaven is fair, and these Assassins have lost the opportunity to make a name for themselves while enjoying their lives.
"Who are the famous assassins since the end of the Han Dynasty?" Liu Wei pondered, "Guo Xiu, who assassinated Fei Yi, is counted as one." In the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Zhu, who assassinated Kublai Khan's cronies, counted one, and Zhang Wenxiang, who assassinated Ma Xinyi, the governor of Liangguang in the late Qing Dynasty, counted one, and the others really can't be remembered. β
"Does a woman count? Aunt Gongsun? Lu Siniang who assassinated Yongzheng? Uncle System won't give a female assassin, right? Liu Wei in the deep groan was a little whimsical.
At this time, the system interrupted Liu Wei's thoughts and gave the answer: "Ding Dong...... This summoning is complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Tang Dynasty Ranger Zhang Zhongjian - 92 in force, 91 in command, and 86 in intelligence. ζΏzhΓ¬80. Special Attributes: Assassin - Gifted for assassination, +1 force when performing assassination."
"Tsk...... This is definitely a talent! Both force and command are over 90. Intelligence and politics are over 80, and such an ability can simply be the pastor of a state. It's a shame to be an assassin! β
Although he was a little unfamiliar with this Zhang Zhongjian's name, Liu Wei was full of praise for this person's attributes, and it was a pity that such an ability was worth being an assassin to die.
"Ding-dong...... The system prompts that Zhang Zhongjian is a bearded guest in the Sui and Tang dynasties, because he was summoned as an assassin, and Zhang Zhongjian's concept is to be a prince, so the host's hope of accepting Zhang Zhongjian as a courtier is almost zero. β
After listening to the prompts of the system, Liu Fang suddenly realized: "Who am I, it turns out to be a bearded guest among the Three Heroes of Wind and Dust, isn't this Li Jing's sworn brother, haha...... It's good now, the two brothers are gathered in my Jinling! β
However, since they were all summoned, the memories of their previous lives no longer exist, so Liu Wei estimated that the two brothers would not know each other even if they passed by.
In the wild history records, Zhang Zhongjian was determined to compete in the world, and had a crush on Li Jing's wife, Hongfunu, and finally felt that his talent could not match Li Shimin's, and he could not be famous in the Central Plains, so he left the Korean Peninsula, and finally gathered more than 100,000 horses under his hands and became the king of a kingdom in Korea, which can be regarded as living up to his life's ambition.
"Since the system says that Zhang Zhongjian's ambition is to be a prince, if he assassinates Tao Qian and does not die, he may escape to Silla according to the trajectory of history, which is also a good result, let him pinch Li Shimin and hinder Li Shimin's development, which is also a good result!"
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Wei's face.
If Zhang Zhongjian knew that he fled to Silla in his previous life because he was afraid of competing with Li Shimin for hegemony, but in this life he fled to Silla to compete with Li Shimin for hegemony, I don't know how he would feel?
"Well, this situation is really picturesque! In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the bearded guest cannot hang up after killing Tao Qian, and Wang Yue and Li Yuanfang must be asked to secretly protect Zhang Zhongjian, so that Zhang Zhongjian can escape alive after killing Tao Qian!
Liu Wei sat in the imperial study and secretly planned to himself, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden no matter what.
"Where is this Zhang Zhongjian now, and what is the implanted identity?"
"Ding-dong...... The system prompted that Zhang Zhongjian was locked up in Jinling Prison at the moment, and his identity was to be beheaded by death row. Because of avenging the clansmen, he killed dozens of brothers and his entourage with a sword, and was later arrested by officers and soldiers, and now he has been sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn. β
Liu Wei couldn't help but cry out for Zhang Zhongjian: "Hey...... This guy is really sad enough, there are sixty or seventy people I have summoned so far and the people who have exploded, right? Some have been blown up after becoming famous, such as Yang Su; There are those who have become poor students, such as Wang Meng; It's more of a low-level general officer, you Zhang Zhongjian is still the first person to appear as a death row prisoner, I don't know if there will be anyone more tragic than you in the future? β
Although he was aggrieved for Zhang Zhongjian, since the system said that this guy was unwilling to send people under the fence, Liu Wei knew that he and Zhang Zhongjian seemed to have no righteousness as a monarch and minister, and most of them could only pardon his capital crime in exchange for assassinating Tao Qian for himself.
"Sanbao, send someone to the heavenly prison to check if there is a person named Zhang Zhongjian, and bring me to Hanyuan Hall to see me!" Liu Wei withdrew from the system and gave an order to Zheng He, who was waiting outside the door.
Half an hour later, Zhang Zhongjian was taken into the imperial study.
I saw that he was ragged, his hair was unkempt, and his face was full of beard, but he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly and majestic body, and a full beard that could not hide his pride, which made people feel awe after seeing it.
"You are Zhang Zhongjian?"
Liu Wei glanced up and down at the bearded guest, and asked with a torch-like gaze.
"Exactly!"
Although facing the emperor, Zhang Zhongjian was not afraid and replied with his head held high.
"Why do you kill?"
"The world is uneven, and the wealthy clan is bullying, so it's a blade!"
"Now that he has been sentenced to death, what can he say?"
"Life should be like this, death is death, there is nothing to say!"
Liu Wei high-fived and praised: "It's a bloody man, now I give you a chance to get back to life, do you want to do it?" β
Zhang Zhongjian was moved: "You are the emperor on top, and you still need me, a death row prisoner, to work hard?" If I am asked to do something unreasonable, I will definitely refuse! It's just a big deal! β
Zheng He opened his mouth next to him and reprimanded: "Bold death row prisoner, Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, and all the people praise you, how can you let you do something that hurts heaven and reason, I really don't know what to do!" β
"Then what does the Emperor want me to do? Tell me about it! Although he was sentenced to death, Zhang Zhongjian did not express any intention of begging for mercy, and had an expression of despair.
Liu Wei secretly put his mind at ease, only a man with this kind of integrity will be true to his word, and will do what he says, if he is greedy for life and afraid of death, the generation who bends his knees and begs for mercy is really unbelievable. Here promised to assassinate Tao Qian for himself, and disappeared without a trace after leaving the city, you can't help him!
"You can kill dozens of sons and brothers of the Hao clan and dozens of slaves alone, which shows that you are brave. So I plan to let you assassinate Tao Qian for me, killing him can save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and also save hundreds of thousands of people from the war, isn't it hurting the heavens and reason? Liu Wei stared at Zhang Zhongjian and spit out his conditions.
Zhang Zhongjian's eyes turned, and then he boldly agreed: "Seven or eight out of ten officials in the world should die, this errand can be followed!" If the assassination of Tao Qian is successful, will the capital crime of a certain person not be pursued? β
Liu Wei nodded: "As long as you kill Tao Qian, you will be set free!" β
As he spoke, he instructed Zheng He: "Open his shackles and shackles, prepare coils, horses, and weapons for him, and let him go out of the city to Xiapi!" β
Zhang Zhongjian was quite surprised: "Emperor, you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid I'll run away from the city? β
Liu Wei laughed: "A ranger who fights unevenly and draws his sword must be a man of his word, so I believe you!" But I hope that your assassination of Tao Qian this time, whether it is successful or not, will not let people know about my relationship with you! β
"I understand, even if I cut off my head, I won't betray my majesty!" After Zhang Zhongjian was unloaded with torture equipment, he bowed to Liu Wei and generously agreed.
"Then what means do you plan to use to assassinate Tao Qian?" Liu Wei asked.
Zhang Zhongjian arched his hand and said: "Tao Qian is a big warlord on one side, and there must be guards around him, so he needs to go to Xiapi to spy before he can formulate a plan to assassinate Tao." Maybe I have to rely on the strength of His Majesty to help, if His Majesty can trust me Zhang Zhongjian, please let me go out of the city now, and after a few days, I will definitely return to Jinling to give an explanation to the Son of Heaven! β
"Three treasures, secretly send Zhang Zhongjian out of Jinling City!" Liu Wei nodded and decisively gave instructions to Zheng He.
"Thank you for your trust!"
Zhang Zhongjian, who was full of beard, bowed his hand to Liu Wei, then turned around and followed Zheng He out of the palace in great strides. (To be continued......)
