The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 497 King Han is bound to kill King Chu

Yang Ling looked at the two identical Chu kings in front of him in disbelief. They look, sound, express, and even move the same. He can no longer tell who is real and who is fake.

King Chu himself was also very surprised. The person in front of him looked like himself, and he seemed to be looking into a mirror.

The fake king of Chu took off his human skin mask, revealing an ordinary face. He turned around and looked at King Chu respectfully: "Your Highness, are you satisfied with your subordinate's appearance?"

King Chu stabilized his mind, suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked calmly: "Not bad." Not only are they similar in appearance, but they are also similar in spirit. It is difficult for ordinary people to tell which of them is true and who is false. "It's enough to confuse the fake with the real thing." King Han and his people will never find out.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Tiger Thirteen handed King Chu a brocade box and said in a respectful tone, "Your Highness, this is the human skin mask made for you by my subordinates."

King Chu took the brocade box and put on the human skin mask under the guidance of Tiger Thirteen.

Looking at the ordinary face in the mirror, King Chu's eyes were filled with shock.

Yang Ling watched in stunned silence as King Chu put on the human skin mask and turned into an ordinary man with a sallow complexion.

King Chu looked at his face carefully in the mirror. The human skin mask fit tightly on his face. If he hadn't put it on himself just now, he would have thought he had such a face.

Now that he has an ordinary face, his temperament will naturally change. King Chu suppressed his noble temperament and became ordinary in an instant.

Yang Lingzhang was dumbfounded as he watched King Chu turn into an inconspicuous person. If he hadn't seen the changes in King Chu with his own eyes, he would never have recognized that the person in front of him was His Highness King Chu.

King Chu turned around, looked at Tiger Thirteen and asked, "How am I doing now?" He deliberately changed his voice and spoke with a northern accent.

"Very good, Your Highness, your cross-dressing skills are very superb." Tiger Thirteen exclaimed in his heart. His Highness, King Chu, is very talented in cross-dressing. If you cultivate it well, you will not lose to him. Unfortunately, King Chu will never do it. Be his apprentice. Alas, what a pity for a good seedling. "King Han will never recognize you."

The King of Chu took off the human skin mask and restored his original appearance. His temperament also changed accordingly, restoring the noble temperament expected of a royal relative.

"Your human skin mask is very lifelike." I didn't expect that the tenth brother would have such a talented person around him.

Tiger Thirteen said humbly: "His highness is laughed at by his unattainable skills."

Yang Ling on the side sighed in her heart: This is not a skill that cannot be put on the table, this is the ability to steal the sky and change the day.

If His Highness the King of Han asked this person to replace His Highness the King of Chu and pretend to be His Highness the King of Chu, I am afraid that no one in the world would be able to notice it. When he thought of this, Yang Ling felt a storm in his heart. However, nothing showed on his face.

Tiger Thirteen reminded King Chu: "Your Highness, for the sake of safety, it is better for you to leave the north as soon as possible."

King Chu nodded and said: "Tomorrow night, I will leave the northern border."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, my subordinates will arrange everything for you to leave the North safely."

"Thank you."

King Chu spoke to Tiger Thirteen again, and then asked Tiger Thirteen to retreat.

After Tiger Thirteen left, Yang Ling told the King of Chu about his shock, fear, and worries.

King Chu was not surprised at all when he heard what he said.

"Sir, I still say the same thing, I believe that my tenth brother will not harm me."

"Your Highness, it is important to be on guard against others. I think we should be prepared." This person next to His Highness the King of Han who is good at disguise... is really scary. There should be many talented people like this around the King of Han. Now it seems that His Highness the King of Han secretly recruited many people before going to Lingnan.

"Sir, how do you want to be on guard?" King Chu also knew that Yang Ling was doing it for his own good. If he didn't allow him to take precautions, he would always be uneasy. In order to make him feel at ease, the King of Chu had no choice but to allow him to take precautions.

"Your Highness, this..." Yang Ling lowered her voice and discussed with King Chu to be wary of the people sent by Zhao Yao.

After hearing this, King Chu felt a little unhappy, but still asked Yang Ling to do it.

Seeing that King Chu agreed to do this, Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Sir, I have arranged for someone to protect you." King Chu left secretly, so he could not take Yang Ling with him. In order to prevent the King of Han from noticing, Yang Ling had to stay with the fake King of Chu. This would put Yang Ling in danger, and the King of Chu was very worried. "Tenth Brother has also arranged for someone to escort you."

"Your Highness, don't worry about me, I will be fine." Yang Ling reassured King Chu, "Yang Qi is my cousin. For the sake of his fellow clan, even if I fall into his hands, he will not take me away. my life."

King Chu didn't think Yang Qi would let Yang Ling go, but he didn't say it.

"Sir, we will meet in the capital."

"Your Highness, you should take care of yourself." Yang Ling was more worried about King Chu's safety than his own safety.

King Chu didn't say anything more. If he spoke too much, he would become more and more uneasy.

The next day, the King of Chu went to the northern military camp to bid farewell to King Dai and General Chu.

King Dai could not return to Beijing for the time being, and had to stay in the north for a while to prevent the Huns from invading south again.

Seeing that the King of Chu was about to leave, King Dai made some unceremonious remarks. The implicit meaning behind his words was that the King of Chu might return to the capital without his life.

When the King of Chu heard this, he was not angry and politely thanked the King for his concern.

King Dai hated the hypocrisy of King Chu the most, so he was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and just drove him away.

After the King of Chu left the northern military camp, he returned to his residence, packed his things, and prepared to leave tomorrow. At noon, the King of Han sent someone to invite him to a dinner. The king of Han also invited the acting king. However, Dai Wang refused. The King of Chu also rejected the invitation of the King of Han.

King Han was just pretending, and he was not annoyed when he was rejected by King Dai and King Chu.

"The Fourth Brother will leave the north tomorrow. Sir, have everything been arranged?" "Your Highness, don't worry, everything has been arranged to ensure that King Chu will not return to the capital alive." Yang Qi was very confident in his arrangements.

King Han also believed in Yang Qi's ability, "This time we want to see whether the fourth child is more lucky or me."

"Of course, Your Highness, you have a great destiny."

"When the fourth child leaves, our cooperation with them can continue." Since King Dai and King Chu came to the north, King Han had temporarily cut off contact with the three princesses. "Let them move on to the next step."

"Your Highness, will Dai Wang take the bait?" Yang Qi was a little worried, "The Yuan family's matter has just passed not long ago. Does Dai Wang have the courage to cooperate with the three princesses?"

"I won't dare at first, but as long as the conditions offered by the third princess are attractive, the second princess will definitely agree." King Han said with a smile, "Let's just wait for the good news."

"What's going to happen to King Jing?"

"There is nothing to be afraid of, Old Seven." King Han let out a disdainful laugh, "The Zhenguo Palace has been in decline, and there is no one around Old Seven. As for Old Eight, it is even less impressive, so there is no need to worry."

Yang Qi thought of Zhao Yao who was far away in Lingnan, "Where is His Highness the King of Han?"

"Old Ten, ha!" King Han's eyes were full of cold ridicule, "As long as the fourth child is gone, the old ten will be at my disposal." Before long, all the business of the old ten will be his.

"The King of Han is ignorant. I cannot blame you for not caring about brotherhood, Your Highness."

"I have no brotherhood with him." King Han said with disgust, "He is not qualified to be my brother." Except for Zhao Yao, King Han did not regard anyone else as his biological brother. In his eyes, Dai Wang and the others were all obstructionists that hindered his ascension to the throne.

Yang Qi reported some things to King Han before leaving. Regarding the assassination of the King of Chu, he had to remind him again that there must be no mistakes in this matter, otherwise they would be the ones who died.

At night, the King of Chu disguised himself as an ordinary person and went to join Liang Run's caravan in the north. Early the next morning, he successfully left the northern border with the caravan and headed for the Western Region.

On the morning of the day when King Chu left, the fake King of Chu, Tiger Thirteen, left the northern border with a group of people.

On the night they left, Tiger Thirteen and the others did not assassinate him. On the third day, they were assassinated.

The first wave of assassins were very brutal, but Tiger Thirteen and the others were prepared in advance and did not let them succeed.

Yang Qi and King Han did not plan to kill King Chu in the first wave of assassinations. If the first wave of assassinations could succeed, then King Chu would be too useless.

Next, there will be assassins every day, one wave after another. Each wave became more fierce than the last and was about to kill the King of Chu.

Zhao Yao, who was far away in Marsh Mansion, was not surprised at all when he received the news that Tiger Thirteen, the fake king of Chu, was being chased and killed. Fortunately, Tiger Thirteen and the people around him were not ordinary people, otherwise they would not have been able to withstand King Han's assassination.

On the other side, King Zhen Chu's journey went very smoothly. Except for encountering a few bandits and bandits, the journey was basically safe.

"Fortunately, I arranged for Tiger Thirteen and the others to help Fourth Brother, otherwise it would be really difficult for Fourth Brother to return to the capital safely this time." Compared with the pursuit of the deposed prince and the Duke of Qianzhen, the assassins sent by the King of Han were more sharp.

"You sent Tiger Thirteen, but after showing your strength to King Chu and others, aren't you afraid of arousing King Chu's jealousy?"

"Don't be afraid, I believe fourth brother will not doubt me."

Seeing Zhao Yao's complete trust in the King of Chu, He Lianfang felt angry and snorted coldly: "I'm waiting to see you being suspected by the King of Chu."

"Second uncle, you can't see it."

In response, He Lianfang gave Zhao Yao a cold look.

"Aren't you afraid that Tiger Thirteen and others are in danger?"

"Tiger Thirteen's disguise skills can conceal the truth. If he is really cornered by King Han's assassins, he will find a way to escape." Zhao Yao believed in Tiger Thirteen's abilities, otherwise he would not have sent him to pretend to be King Chu. "Actually, I gave Tiger Thirteen an order."

Hearing this, He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao in shock: "What order did you give?"

"Let Tiger Thirteen and the others force King Han to use his trump card."

"King Han's trump card?" He Lianfang asked with confusion, "What is King Han's trump card, a dead soldier?"

Zhao Yao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, a dead soldier."

"A dead soldier is nothing but a trump card. Every wealthy family will raise a dead soldier. It's not surprising that the King of Han has a dead soldier."

"It is not unusual for the King of Han to have dead soldiers, but have you ever thought that among the dead soldiers of King Han there will be Huns?"

He Lianfang had not thought of this. Now when she heard what Zhao Yao said, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Do you suspect that there are Huns in Prince Han's palace?"

"Well, I also suspect that there are private soldiers of the Huns in Prince Han's palace." Zhao Yao expressed his suspicion, "The private soldiers of the Huns in Prince Han's palace should be in the grassland and trained by the three princesses."

"It's not impossible." He Lianfang said, "The King of Han is a cautious person, and he should not easily expose his dead Huns."

"In normal times, he would definitely not be exposed easily, but this time is different. He wants to kill the fourth brother and prevent him from surviving in the capital, so he will kill the fourth brother at any cost. If he had sent him before If he still can't kill Fourth Brother, then he can only use his ace death warrior to assassinate Fourth Brother."

"Do King Han's dead Huns dare to approach the capital?"

"Of course he doesn't dare, so he will kill the fourth brother completely before he leaves Jizhou." Zhao Yao calculated the time and found that Tiger Thirteen and the others only had a few days left before they left Jizhou.

"Then it depends on whether Tiger Thirteen and the others can survive until the end."

"It doesn't matter if you really can't make it to the end." Zhao Yao is not determined to catch King Han's fox tail this time. "If we didn't succeed this time, we will have a chance to catch King Han in the future. Besides, wait. Fourth brother returns to the capital safely, can King Han still sit still? "
