The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

in a few days

Outside Luzhou City

A huge golden eagle was hovering over the military camp outside the city. It lingered there for a long time, and no one knew what it was looking for.

Until it saw a petite woman in red standing at the door of a tent, it suddenly swooped down with great momentum.

But in the end, it landed gently on the girl's raised arms like a good little bird.

The girl took off the secret letter tied to the golden eagle's leg, then released the eagle and walked into the big tent behind her.

At this moment, inside the big tent, a man in official uniform was kneeling on the ground, panting and shivering, while sitting opposite him was a man in gorgeous clothes.

The main colors of men's clothing are black and red. The black robe is decorated with golden edges and complex patterns. The hem is wide, flared, divided into four parts, and has a pattern that echoes the top.

Black pants, unlike the top, do not have much decoration on them. There are golden decorations on the boots. On the head is a golden crown hat with a dragon-shaped hairpin.

It is the current Emperor of Liang - Zhu Youzhen.

Both of their eyes were focused on the secret letter in the hands of the woman in red who had just entered, and Zhu Youzhen was looking forward to taking the secret letter from the woman.

However, he did not look at it immediately, but urged the man in official uniform in front of him:

"Tell me, where do you want to bet on whether the number of souls killed by General Wang this time is odd or even?"

The man in official uniform struggled with his conscience for a long time, and finally stammered out a few words, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty bets... on an odd number!"

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly opened the secret letter and laughed crazily after seeing the words on it, "Hahahaha, you guessed it right, you will be promoted to the third rank!"

The man in official uniform thought he had escaped death. He kowtowed several times, making a "bang bang" sound when his head hit the ground. "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's just that..." At this moment, Zhu Youzhen changed the subject and said teasingly, "You guessed wrong!"

As he said this, he threw the secret letter in front of the man in official uniform. The number written on it was an even number. The man in official uniform instantly turned pale and kowtowed with even greater force than before:

"Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

But Zhu Youzhen ignored him and just waved his hand and said calmly: "If you guess wrong, your property will be confiscated. Just think of it as a contribution to our Daliang treasury."

Since the Liang Palace was emptied by An Dongjun and the Bad People, Zhu Youzhen changed the original bet of killing to confiscating property in order to fill the Liang treasury.

This move caused panic among all the officials in Daliang's court, and they lived in fear all day long.

Who knows that one day I'll be so 'lucky' to be picked by Zhu Youzhen to play this so-called betting game.

After receiving Zhu Youzhen's order, the woman in red shot out a silk thread without hesitation, directly cutting off the head of the man in official uniform below.

The two men looked at the corpse below, without a trace of emotion in their hearts.

What's outrageous is that Zhu Youzhen was actually asking for encouragement from a dried corpse next to him. He could be faintly heard saying "son, mother" or something like that.

That’s right, the mummy was Zhu Youzhen’s mother, Zhang, who was executed by Zhu Wen.

The reason why he has a weird and changeable temperament, is addicted to gambling, and likes to bet on human lives is because he lost his mother when he was young.

When he was young, he was bullied by Zhu Wen and could only depend on his mother. Therefore, he has a very deep affection for his mother. But what's even more outrageous is that this guy also has an Oedipus complex!

According to Shi Yao's words in the original author, he was just an ordinary, lost person among the many people of this era.

Zhu Youzhen lay on her mother's lap and said lazily, "Xiao Kui, have you found that mysterious bad guy?"

"Reporting to your majesty, there has been no news of the whereabouts of that bad guy."

Zhu Youzhen suddenly exploded in anger and said, "Useless! After such a long time, I still can't find even one bad guy. What use do I have to them? Kill them all!"

Who understands him? When he was fighting with Li Cunxu in Luzhou, he suddenly learned that his father and brothers had died in Jiaolan Palace.

He returned to Bianzhou happily, only to find that the entire palace had been emptied, and the only news that came out was about Li Xingyun, the Bad Leader, and the mysterious Bad Man. (mentioned in the hidden plot)

It has been almost half a year now, and there is still no news. His patience has long been exhausted.

"……Yes"

In fact, those Liang soldiers were also innocent. All the people present at that time were bad people. They were all ordered by the bad commander not to spread the news about Anton Jun.

So no one on Liang Jun's side knows the appearance of that mysterious bad guy, or the martial arts he uses, so how can they find him?

凤翔

After Lord An Dong discussed all matters concerning the alliance with the King of Shu, he hurried back to Fengxiang.

After waiting here for another two days, Miao Luantong and Ying Gou who went to Chu State, as well as the brother-in-law (in disguise) and Hanba who went to Wu State also came back one after another.

Facts proved to be just as An Dongjun had expected. The elder brother-in-law tried to persuade him at first, but King Wu Yang Pu refused to agree, saying that he was afraid of revenge from Liang State.

Then the eldest brother-in-law sneaked into the palace at night, killed their guards, and kidnapped Princess Shangrao to threaten Yang Pu, saying that if he did not send troops, he would massacre his entire family.

It was true that Yang Pu was afraid of the Liang State, but that was a matter of the future after all, and was not as great as the present threat, so he agreed immediately.

But it was useless to agree. In order to prevent Yang Pu from turning against him, the brother-in-law took Shangrao back as a hostage after signing the alliance.

But they were just hostages in words, and Hanba was taking care of them along the way.

He had a reason for sending Hanba and his elder brother-in-law to the State of Wu, which was to let one of them play the good cop and the other the bad cop.

By the way, let Hanba meet his future wife and let the two of them develop feelings. After all, we can't always make empty promises to people and bully Hanba, an honest man.

Now looking at Princess Shangrao surrounding Hanba, Anton Jun knew that the plan was very successful.

Hanba was also deeply moved. He hugged Anton and cried for a long time, expressing his gratitude with words only.

He said something like thank you for Anton's teaching in the past, thank you for finding him a wife, etc.

Then he said something about how he could never repay Anton Jun's great kindness, and he almost kowtowed to him and became his sworn brother.

The situation in Chu State was a little more troublesome. Although Ma Yin was very moved by Miao Luantong's words.

However, his reason still suppressed his impulse, and he practiced Tai Chi with Miao Luantong for a long time, trying to deal with the situation.

In the end, Ying Gou couldn't stand his procrastinating temper anymore and beat up everyone in the palace.

Then he put the knife to his neck and threatened him, asking him to tell the truth.

As long as they send troops, if they defeat Liang State in the future, Jiangling and Fuzhou will be areas that they can obtain stably.

As for Guizhou, Xiazhou and Yingzhou, it depends on who has the bigger fist among the three kingdoms of Chu, Wu and Shu.

If you don't send troops, it would be fine if their joint forces didn't defeat Liang State. But if they did win, it would be inappropriate for you, Chu State, to want to get a piece of the pie at that time.

The combination of her and Miao Luantong is the same as that of her brother-in-law, one is the good guy and the other is the bad guy. After weighing the pros and cons, Ma Yin also agreed.

However, Chu and Wu were different from Shu. If Liang attacked Qi, they did not need to send troops to aid Qi. They only needed to attack the cities themselves to distract Liang's attention.

As for Li Cunxu, Anton Jun just sent a letter and waited to see what he would do.

Now the chess game officially begins. Now none of the princes know what their bottom line is, but over the years, they can roughly guess something.

Among the eleven states in Kyushu, (Han, Min, Wuyue, Wu, Jinghai, Dingnan, Chu, Shu, Qi, Jin, Liang)

Liang was the strongest, followed by Jin and Qi, then Chu, Wu and Shu, and the rest were negligible, but this was only what the princes thought.

(In fact, in the anime, Qi State was not weak. Zhu Youzhen even planned to dispatch all the imperial guards to fight. If Zhu Youzhen's invincible general Daliang hadn't bombed Fengxiang later, the battle of Fengxiang would not have ended so quickly.)

With Anton Jun's intervention, Qi State now has Tubo and the Twelve Tribes of Raojiang behind it, making it more powerful than any other country. However, now is not the time for them to show off.

After a while, he will disguise himself as Lao Liu and go to Luzhou and Bianzhou.

After rescuing Li Xingyun, it will depend on whether Liang will attack Jin or Qi. After all, there are still several variables, and Anton Jun can't really say for sure.

If Zhu Youzhen attacked Jin, Qi would choose to continue hiding.

If Zhu Youzhen attacked Qi State, then Liang State would disappear.
