People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse

Chapter 550 Zhao Ji's Killing Intention

This time, the coalition forces of Mongolia, Liao, Jin and Western Xia invaded the Song Dynasty together, but were ultimately annihilated. The news quickly spread throughout the continent.

When people heard that Lu Chen alone destroyed an army of hundreds of thousands, the whole world was shocked, which made the royal families of various countries even more wary of the grandmaster.

After hearing the news, Cai Jing was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand away.

"Lu Chen must die!"

Cai Jing's cold voice sounded.

Originally, he had no conflict with Lu Chen, but Lu Chen was blocking his way, and Lu Chen must not be allowed to stay.

At Prince Rui's mansion, after receiving the tip-off, Prince Rui was silent for a long time. After changing into casual clothes, he secretly went to a secret house.

Not long after, a figure in a black cloak walked in.

When King Rui saw this, he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to the visitor.

The figure unceremoniously sat in the first seat, while King Rui stood opposite him.

When the figure raised his head, it turned out to be Zhao Ji's face.

"Uncle Wang, have you heard the news from the front line?"

Zhao Ji looked at him and asked.

"Go back to the official house. I heard about it."

King Rui nodded and said, "To serve the king is like to serve a tiger." Although it was in private, he did not even dare to call himself the king.

"You don't have to be so reserved. This is in private."

Zhao Ji said.

King Rui smiled and said seriously, "In private, I should abide by the duties of a subject."

Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction.

"What do you think about what's happening on the front line?"

Zhao Ji asked.

Prince Rui pondered for a moment and said, "Although Lu Chen was born in the martial arts world, he was able to stand up at the critical moment to defend his country. This is a contribution to the court. The government should reward him generously so that people all over the world know the court's attitude. In this way, more talented people will serve the court."

"I have seen this man before. He is not a law-abiding person, and he will not serve the court."

Zhao Ji said leisurely.

King Rui said: "This is how the people in the martial arts world are. They are lawless and never take the imperial court seriously. Fortunately, these people in the martial arts world will not be enemies of the imperial court. This time, facing the million-strong army of the four countries, Lu Chen was able to go to fight the enemy in person, which shows that he still has a conscience."

Zhao Ji glanced at Prince Rui and suddenly asked, "I heard that Lu Chen has close contacts with the four disciples of the Grand Tutor. Is Lu Chen the Grand Tutor's man?"

Prince Rui was shocked and didn't know what Zhao Ji meant by asking this question. Originally, the matters on the front line were handed over to Zhuge Shenhou to handle.

Not long after, Wuqing and Zhuiming went to Gusu City, and then the two of them went to Xiyun City with Lu Chen. It seemed that Zhuge Shenhou asked Lu Chen to take action.

In this case, the relationship between Lu Chen and Zhuge Shenhou must be complicated.

He was moved. Could it be that the government was afraid of Zhuge Shenhou?

The emperor can be cautious, but he cannot speak carelessly. After all, his relationship with Zhuge Shenhou is not simple.

He thought for a moment and replied, "From what I know, it seems that Lu Chen has some contact with Wuqing and the others, but he should not be from the Divine Marquis Mansion."

Zhao Ji remained calm and nodded slightly. Then he looked at King Rui and asked, "What has King Zuo Wu done recently?"

This is the real reason why Zhao Ji came to meet King Rui secretly.

His cousin has suddenly become very low-key recently.

"King Zuo Wu hasn't made any moves recently. He seems to have realized that the Divine Marquis Mansion and the Six Gates are investigating him."

Rui Wangdao.

Zhao Ji sneered and said, "My cousin is quite secretive. Does he really think I don't know about what happened between him and Fu Zongshu?"

Obviously, Zhao Ji had known about the collusion between Prince Zuo Wu and Fu Zongshu for a long time, and he knew it very well.

"I sent you to get close to them in order to find out their details and find solid evidence of their rebellion."

Zhao Ji looked at Prince Rui with a deep gaze: "Prince Zuo Wu is a member of the Zhao royal family after all. Without solid evidence, it is not easy for me to touch him, especially since he has practiced such advanced martial arts."

Prince Rui was startled. He knew that Zhao Ji was an extremely scheming and resourceful man, and would not easily let go of anyone who threatened his imperial power.

"It's my incompetence that has prevented them from trusting me. Plus, now that Fu Zongshu is dead, it's even harder for me to gain the trust of King Zuo Wu. Even Cai Xiang is wary of me."

King Rui sighed and said.

"it's time."

Zhao Ji suddenly said.

"What the government means is..."

King Rui asked tentatively.

"Aren't the Six Gates and the Divine Marquisate investigating King Zuo Wu?"

Zhao Ji raised his lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Find an opportunity to reveal some information to the Six Gates, so that they can find evidence of Zuo Wuwang's crime as soon as possible."

Prince Rui understood that Zhao Ji wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

He was in a bad situation, so he asked the Six Gates and the Divine Marquis Palace to deal with King Zuo Wu.

Not only can he eliminate the threat posed by King Zuo Wu, but he can also weaken the strength of the Six Gates and the Shenhou Mansion, while he himself can reap the benefits.

"I understand."

King Rui bowed in response.

"Uncle Wang, remember to keep this a secret. Don't let anyone know that I am the one pushing this."

Zhao Ji warned.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely do it well."

After King Rui finished speaking, he took his leave.

Zhao Ji looked at Prince Rui's departing figure, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He knew that his Uncle Wang was a smart man and would be able to do the tasks he asked him to do perfectly.

Then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Ji. It was the old eunuch Kuihua.

Zhao Ji looked at the old eunuch Kuihua and said, "Do you think I should kill this man named Lu Chen or not?"

The eunuch Kuihua did not directly answer Zhao Ji's question, but asked: "Does the emperor want him to die or live?"

"After the incident with King Zuo Wu, he is no longer useful. Give him some respect."

Zhao Ji said slowly.

The sunflower eunuch nodded slightly.

King Rui left the mysterious courtyard, took a walk around the city, and then went to the Mansion of the Divine Marquis and met the Divine Marquis Zhuge.

When Zhuge Shenhou saw King Rui, he laughed and asked, "Why are you here?"

Prince Rui looked at Zhuge Shenhou seriously and asked, "You and I have been friends for many years. Tell me honestly, is Lu Chen from your Shenhou Mansion?"

"You came to see me just to ask this?"

Zhuge Shenhou looked at King Rui strangely.

King Rui looked at Zhuge Shenhou and said solemnly: "I am not kidding you. Do you know who I just met?"

Seeing that King Rui was so serious, Zhuge Shenhou also stopped smiling, pondered for a moment, and said, "Did you meet the emperor?"

Prince Rui took a deep breath and said, "As expected, I can't hide anything from you. To be honest, the emperor has already expressed his murderous intention towards Lu Chen through his words and deeds."
