Chapter 726: Infighting Assassination

Yuan Taizuo snorted heavily, got up and left the hall, and the ministers were afraid of Yuan Taizuo's threat, and they also left one after another, leaving only Quan Huan and Gao Yuan in the hall.

Gao Yuan said coldly: "Draw your sword in front of me, this Yuan Taizuo is simply becoming more and more presumptuous." ”

"Your Majesty, he has always been so arrogant!"

"Humph!" Gao Yuan snorted heavily, and said very dissatisfied: "Didn't you say that you used the opportunity of Pyongyang to eradicate him?" ”

"Wechen has been waiting for an opportunity, we must not be in a hurry at this time, let alone show our signs, otherwise Yuan Taizuo will definitely back, and we will be in danger."

After a pause, Quan Huan said again: "Although Jian Wuqi has been co-opted by Weichen, but Yuan Taizuo let him garrison troops in Xunshui, to my surprise, now the key is the 10,000 troops in the city, only 5,000 soldiers are loyal to His Highness, and the other 5,000 people are in the hands of Zhao Beiyi, before I thought that Zhao Beiyi was neutral and could be co-opted, but later I found out that he was actually Yuan Taizuo's person for a long time, Yuan Taizuo City Mansion is very deep, he controlled Zhao Beiyi but did not show his face, if we didn't find this and acted in a hurry, I'm afraid it would be us who died." ”

"Do you mean that as long as Zhao Beiyi is transferred out of the city, we can do it?"

"It is impossible for Zhao Beiyi's army to be transferred out of the city, Yuan Taizuo will not give us this opportunity, Weichen suspects that Yuan Taizuo also wants to kill us, your lord, we must wait patiently!"

Gao Yuan nodded slowly, "Okay, then endure it for a few more days!"

Yuan Taizuo angrily rode back to the mansion in a carriage, and as soon as he walked through the gate, one of his subordinates stepped forward to report, "Gao Lie asks to see your lord." ”

"Let him come to the study to see me!"

Yuan Taizuo returned to his study, he stood in front of the window and looked at the sky, his anger gradually subsided, but there seemed to be a thorn in his heart, which made his heart uneasy, he knew very well what this thorn was, that was when he took out his sword, Gao Yuan's eyes flashed in a moment, but he caught it, Gao Yuan had a killing machine for himself, and he was likely to unite with Quan Huan to do it to himself, did he Yuan Taizuo have to wait any longer?

"My lord, Gao Lie is here."

"Let him in!"

Yuan Taizuo turned around and sat down on the soft seat, and after a while, Gao Lie hurriedly walked in.

The Bohai Society has always received the secret support of Goguryeo, in fact, it is the support of Yuan Taizuo, who fled to Goguryeo after the defeat of the Gao Lie army last year, and naturally defected to Yuan Taizuo, and this time Goguryeo's attack on Liaodong is also completely in line with the interests of the Bohai Society, and Gao Lie hopes that the Goguryeo army will fight all the way to Hebei, so that he can re-establish the country in Hebei.

However, although Gao Lie's expectations are wonderful, but the reality is very cruel, the Sui army used the absolute superiority of the water army to cut Goguryeo into two in Yalushui, and concentrated the superior forces to divide and annihilate it, and now even Gao Lie is not optimistic about Goguryeo, and began to think about a plan to get out for himself.

Gao Lie stepped forward and bowed, "See Lord Mo Lizhi!" ”

Yuan Taizuo waved his hand very politely, "Please take a seat!" ”

Gao Lie sat down on the side, and he asked tentatively: "I heard that there is a war and controversy in the imperial court today, I don't know what the result is?" ”

Yuan Taizuo smiled, and didn't answer him directly, but asked from the side, "Is the Hui Master worried that we will negotiate peace with Sui Jun?" ”

The muscles on Gao Lie's face twitched, how could he not be worried, once Goguryeo and Sui Jun negotiated peace, then he would inevitably be handed over to Zhang Xuan by Goguryeo, and he would definitely die, Yuan Taizuo obviously knew this, so a word put him at a disadvantage.

Sighing, Gao Lie smiled bitterly and said, "My lord is asking knowingly. ”

"So I resolutely oppose the negotiation of peace with the Sui army, to a large extent, I cherish the friendship between us, and I will never agree to hand over the lord to the Sui army, so I resolutely disagree with the peace negotiation, and would rather offend the king and many ministers."

The implication of Yuan Taizuo's words is to say, 'The reason why I oppose peace is to protect you from being noble, and I will pay a great price for you.' ’

Gao Lie secretly scolded Yuan Taizuo in his heart for being shameless, obviously because he gave him 50,000 taels of gold, but Yuan Taizuo never gave himself actual benefits, so now he deliberately betrayed favors with the opposition to Yihe, and he objected to Yihe and had a fart relationship with himself.

Although he scolded in his heart, Gao Lie still had to show a low posture, and he bowed and said, "Thank you Mo Lizhi for your care!" ”

"You're welcome, I took the master's gold, of course, I have to show something."

Yuan Taizuo took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile, "Is this the meeting master coming to me for this matter?" ”

"Not exactly."

Gao Lie hesitated for a moment and said: "That's the case, we want to leave Goguryeo by water, and we also found a few boats, but unfortunately they were detained by General Zhao Beiyi, General Zhao Beiyi said that you must get the consent of the adults to release people and ships, can Lord Mo Lizhi-"

Before Gao Lie finished speaking, Yuan Taizuo's face became gloomy, Gao Lie actually wanted to run away, in case he really negotiated with Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan named Gao Lie, what would he hand over?

But Yuan Taizuo is very deep in the city, his face just sank, and immediately returned to normal, he smiled and said: "I want to protect the master of the guild, if the master really can't trust me, you must go, of course I won't stop it, but the master will just leave, and some follow-up things are difficult for me to deal with!" ”

This is bargaining with Gao Lie, which is also expected by Gao Lie, he muttered and said: "I really don't have any extra money in my hands, then I will give the last 10,000 taels of gold to the adult, which can be regarded as my support for the adult." ”

Yuan Taizuo sighed, "I know that the master will also use money in the future, so I don't want gold, so be it!" You do one thing for me, and when it's done, you leave, and I won't stop you. ”

"With the power of an adult in Goguryeo, is there anything that can't be done?"

Yuan Taizuo smiled, "That being said, there are some things that are really inconvenient to take action, and you still have to rely on external forces. ”

Gao Lie nodded, "My lord, just say it!" What do we need to do? ”

Yuan Taizuo said slowly: "Quan Huan strongly advocated peace, and even did not hesitate to meet with me, I want you to kill him for me, no matter what means are used, kill him within three days, and you will leave." ”

Gao Lie was silent for a while, Yuan Taizuo understood his worries, and said with a faint smile: "Of course I want to put the responsibility on the Bohai Society, so the murderer must be caught, but the master of the society does not have to appear, I hope that I will have a chance to cooperate with the master of the Gao Society in the future." ”

Gao Lie knew that he had no choice, no matter whether he agreed or not, Yuan Taizuo would plant Quan Huan's death on the head of the Bohai Society, he could only take a risk and gamble, he was still useful to Yuan Taizuo.

After pondering for a long time, Gao Lie pondered, "I left the assassin behind, please let us go first, my lord."

Yuan Taizuo shook his head, "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" ”

"What if the assassination fails?"

"If it weren't for your failure, I'll let you go."

Helpless, Gao Lie had to grit his teeth and agree, "Then we will make a decision!" ”

......

With Yen Tae-joo drawing his sword at the palace, the battle was over, and the situation in Pyongyang became calm again, as if the moment before the storm came.

Two days later, a splendid and wide carriage came out of the palace, this carriage was inlaid with precious stones, the carriage was unique in Pyongyang, everyone knew that it was the carriage of the Great Pair of Lu, in the carriage sat Goguryeo's important minister Kwon Huan, and there were dozens of cavalrymen on both sides of the carriage, they were all tall and burly, wearing scales and iron helmets, holding copper spears, and they were particularly majestic.

The carriage ran unhurriedly on the street, Quan Huan's mansion was not far from the palace, less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a large mansion, a small servant rushed forward, and quickly helped Quan Huan out of the carriage and walked to the steps, and the guard warrior entered the mansion from the other side, at this time, there was no guard warrior around Quan Huan, only four soldiers standing guard in front of the gate.

At this moment, a knight suddenly rushed out of the alley next to him, and in the blink of an eye, he ran to the side of the carriage, only five or six steps away from Quan Huan, who was just about to go up the steps, and the four soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and stabbed at the knight with a spear, but the knight was not in a hurry, and raised a short crossbow, on the short crossbow was a green poisonous arrow, the short crossbow aimed at Quan Huan, a poisonous arrow came out of the string, and hit Quan Huan's heart, Quan Huan screamed, and immediately fell to the ground.

At the same time as the assassin rushed out of the alley, dozens of escort warriors saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly turned their horses and ran back, but they were still a step too late, Quan Huan had been shot down by poisoned arrows, and the escort warriors were furious, surrounded the assassins, they shouted at the assassins, the assassins could not escape, and were pierced through the body by more than a dozen bronze spears, and were killed instantly.
