Chapter 514: Plot to Kill Huang Xie
Huang Xie's carriage was finally repaired.
He felt no different than usual.
When he arrived at the Thorn Gate, he looked up at the sky, frowned slightly and said:
"Why is the door open before the time has even arrived?"
"Where are the officials waiting outside the Thorny Gate?"
As soon as the voice fell, the guards at the door clasped their fists and responded:
"Greetings, Prime Minister."
"The Ji Gate was opened early because His Majesty ordered all officials to receive the Yan envoy."
"Because it was a sudden decision, we did not inform you and the others."
Hearing this, Huang Xie nodded subconsciously, and then snorted coldly:
"He's just an envoy from Yan State. Why mobilize so many troops?"
Generally speaking, the Ji Men opens early and is only used during important ceremonial occasions.
"Let's go into the palace too."
Then Huang Xie gave the order.
There were about six or seven people around him, including his entourage and coachman.
Can drive a chariot into the palace.
This is his exclusive privilege.
Today, high-ranking officials of the Xiang family and Huang Xie are here.
But the only one missing was Wu Qi.
He was at home claiming to be ill, and when he heard the news that the thorn gate had opened early, he said disapprovingly:
"Our young emperor really values foreign envoys."
When he said this, he heard from his servants that when he went to Jimen to inquire about the news this morning, he encountered the Prime Minister's carriage broken down on the street.
Suddenly, Wu Qi was startled and thought to himself that something was wrong. "The Prime Minister's chariot was a gift from the late emperor, and there are special people who take care of it every day."
"How could something go wrong so easily? What is this Xiang family going to do?"
"Come here, tell the guards in the palace to put on armor and swords and follow this general into the Thorny Gate!"
However, it was too late.
At this moment, Huang Xie had already entered the Ji Gate.
There was no one in the long corridor.
There wasn't even a single guard.
This made Huang Xie, who was sitting in the carriage, feel something was wrong.
But he continued to move forward.
However, everything was too quiet.
Moreover, he thought that the generals guarding the Jimen Gate today were all unfamiliar faces.
He was immediately shocked and said quickly:
"I won't be entering the palace today. Go back home, go back home!"
However, it was too late.
Wait until he finishes speaking.
Suddenly, twenty or thirty swordsmen and axemen rushed out from the secret door of the corridor, each with unique skills.
Huang Xie was shocked when he saw this. "Who wants to kill me?"
At this time, Li Yuan's figure slowly appeared.
Huang Xie frowned.
"You want to kill me?"
Li Yuan bowed deeply and said, "I have been under the care of the Prime Minister for many years, and I am deeply grateful."
Then he stood up and changed the subject, "But, Prime Minister, you are old after all."
"I don't want to always be an official of the Prime Minister's Mansion and be looked down upon by others."
"I can only let the Prime Minister down."
"Get started."
As soon as the words fell.
Thirty swordsmen and axemen rushed directly towards Huang Xie.
The latter was shocked, "Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
However, even if he shouted at the top of his lungs, no one would respond.
Because this corridor had been cleared by Xiang Yu.
Huang Xie had no choice but to draw the sword from his waist, then jumped off the carriage and ran towards the outside of Jimen at a high speed.
However, the thorn gate had already been closed.
In just a moment, Huang Xie's followers were killed one by one.
Huang Xie was also shot in the leg by a crossbow arrow, making it difficult for him to move forward.
Li Yuan held a precious sword and slowly approached Huang Xie, who had fallen to the ground in a panic, and said in a deep voice:
"Prime Minister, don't worry. This sword of mine will be quick and you won't feel any pain."
Huang Xie recalled what Zhu Ying had said and burst into tears, "If I die, the Great Chu will perish!"
Li Yuan said indifferently, "What does the rise and fall of the Chu State have to do with me?"
What does it have to do with you?
Huang Xie's eyes widened when he heard what Li Yuan said.
At once, he thought of a lot.
Thinking of Xiang Yan’s death.
Thinking of the defeat of the State of Chu due to the intelligence issue.
Thinking about all the previous...
Huang Xie couldn't help but curse, "Traitor!"
At this moment, Li Yuan drew his sword and was about to stab out.
"Respectfully invite the Prime Minister of Great Chu, Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, to embark on his journey!"
The sword finally fell in Huang Xie's desperate eyes.
Li Yuan left in a hurry and the thorn gate opened again.
Then.
Li Yuan and Xiang Yu went to the court together.
On the way, Xiang Yu looked at Li Yuan and said:
"Do you know why I didn't come forward when you killed Huang Xie?"
The latter said: "Please teach me, Overlord."
Xiang Yu said, "I only helped to fuel the assassination of Huang Xie. The cause was you."
"In the history books of the future, it will only be written that you killed your master, and it has nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"
Li Yuan chuckled and said, "I understand."
His master has never been Huang Xie.
At the very least, when Xiang Yan was defeated, his master was no longer Huang Xie.
To be more precise, the owner of Li Garden was not the Qin State.
But himself.
At present, the Xiang family has eliminated its biggest trouble.
It has become the largest force in the Chu court.
Li Yuan was Huang Xie's confidant and the official he relied on most.
With the help of Xiang family, he would certainly be able to become prime minister, there was no doubt about it.
But Li Yuan still had something on his mind, so he couldn't get over it.
That is, Xiang Yan's death and the defeat of Xiang's army were all related to him.
The truth will come out sooner or later.
Therefore, he had to do his best to promote the Chu State to send troops to attack Qin.
