“…”

Zhao Yu glanced at Tong Yan a few times, then turned his head to look at He Shun.

He Shun understood, nodded and turned around and walked out of the house.

And just then, Tong Yan suddenly spoke again: "Wait... I need another dose of poison that will die."

He Shun turned to look at Zhao Yu, and saw that the latter looked at Tong Yan deeply and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, He Shun stepped out of the house.

There were naturally no good wine and food on the Dongyi Mountain, nor any poison that would die if taken. In order to meet Tong Yan's request, He Shun sent Gong Jiao to drive a carriage to Kunyang County, purchased a wine and food from the inn in Kunyang County, and grabbed a dose of poison at the pharmacy.

This time, Gong Jiao and his group took two hours to bring the wine, food and poison that Tong Yan asked for back to Dongyi Mountain.

Two hours apart, Zhao Yu and Tong Yan sat opposite each other at the table again.

From the side, He Shun and several black tiger generals bought wine and food on the table.

During this period, Gong Jiao handed a small bag of poison to Zhao Yu, and immediately said a few words to Zhao Yu.

In front of Tong Yan, Zhao Yu placed the small bag of poison on the corner of the table next to him and said calmly to Tong Yan: "The pharmacy said that after taking this bag of medicine, he will die in an instant. Tell me the truth about what happened back then, and I will give it to you."

"good."

Tong Yan nodded.

Now that things have come to mind, he has also been thinking about it. Anyway, the other party will not let him go. He just wants to die quickly and not to suffer any more.

He used his complete right hand to pour a bowl of wine for himself, took a sip, and then frowned: "Is this the good wine here?"

"Some of them are good to drink." Zhao Yu interrupted Tong Yan impatiently, and then said in a deep voice: "Tell me the truth about that year, why did you frame me, the Zhao family of Luyang."

"Framed?" Tong Yan looked at Zhao Yu with a strange expression, then shook his head and said, "Do you think I framed the Zhao family of Luyang? No, I don't have any grudges and grudges with your family. I have never even heard of it before, so why frame your Zhao family? But, your Zhao family of Luyang is a disaster and a threat..."

"Who will harm and who will threaten?" Zhao Yu asked frowned.

"Royal family, the Li family." Tong Yan raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "You really don't think that I, a commander of Liangcheng, can frame the nobles from all over the country, right?"

"Who?" Zhao Yu asked in a deep voice.

Tong Yan smiled, looked at Zhao Yu with a playful look, and asked back, "Who do you think it is?"

"The Emperor today?" Zhao Yu asked with a frown.

Tong Yan smiled jokingly, shrugged and said, "Who knows? I was just a captain in the inner court back then, but how could I know the specific one? I just obeyed the order."

“…”

Zhao Yu's expression changed slightly.

He finally understood why, even if Zhang Jing came forward a few years ago under the order of Grand Master Chen, he had only rebelled against him for the Zhao family in Luyang, but did not pursue Tong Yan and the forces behind Tong Yan.

It turned out that the one who secretly instructed Tong Yan to frame him about the Zhao family in Luyang was actually the royal court, and it was even very likely that he was the current emperor of Jin.

"But... why?" Zhao Yu asked with a frown.

Tong Yan smiled, held the wine bowl with his right hand and took a sip, and then recalled: "Ten years ago, some prophecies, or rumors spread throughout the world one after another, such as "Muzi declined, King of Zhao", and "Eighteen Sons, the country will perish; the Zhao Sons will become kings"... These prophecies that do not know the source are consistent, saying that the Zhao Sons will replace the Li Sons and become the lord of the world."

Zhao Yu clenched his fists in anger and sneered: "You mean, because of these so-called prophecies, the royal family ordered you to frame me, Zhao, Luyang?"

"Of course not."

Tong Yan glanced at Zhao Yu and explained: "As you said, a prophecy that does not know its origin is naturally not enough to arouse suspicion from the royal family, but if it is the prophecy of the national teacher, it would be different..."

"National Master? Who?"

"I don't know either." Tong Yan shook his head, grabbed a piece of meat, and said to himself: "I only know that he was a alchemist who worshipped in the palace. When I was still working in the inner court, I saw him once, but that's all..."

"Is the national teacher of the inner court...?"

Zhao Yu secretly remembered this incident in his heart, and immediately asked Tong Yan: "What did you mean by the national teacher's prophecy?"

"Li's family is about to perish, Zhao's family is about to prosper."

Before Zhao Yu asked a question, Tong Yan continued, "The one who promoted the Zhao family was 'Shen Hu'."

"What?" Zhao Yu frowned in confusion.

"That was a person, a person born in the year of the Tiger and Shen Shi. According to the calculations of the national master, the man's surname was Zhao, and his name was probably Yu..."

"Zhao Yu?" Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized.

He vaguely remembered that Tong Yan was looking for this person named "Zhao Yu", but why was it probably famous?

After Zhao Yu asked a question, Tong Yan chuckled and said, "Do you think Busan is that easy?"

"Tong Yan." Zhao Yu slapped the table slightly angrily, and shocked Tong Yan, who put his left hand on the table, was in great pain. He quickly changed his words: "Don't be angry, I just said that. Regarding the word "yu", I asked the Taoist boy around the national teacher. According to his explanation, "yu" is the "sunset place". According to legend, the sun was born in "无gu" and was not in "无gu". The royal family of Li family used the sun as a symbol. It was the old national teacher that Shen Hu, who could promote the Zhao family, was probably named Yu..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced at Zhao Yu and asked, "How do you write your name?"

Zhao Yu was not afraid of telling a dying person his name. He said lightly after hearing this: "Yu, Yu of Zuo Yu."

“Um…”

Tong Yan raised his intact right hand, touched his chin's beard, and looked up and down at Zhao Yu.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu sneered: "What? Could it be that I am the Shen Hu who destroyed Li and the one who revived Zhao?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

Tong Yan answered Zhao Yu seriously, and then sneered: "No matter what, it has nothing to do with me... I don't think you will let me go."

Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh and asked, "What else do you want to know?"

Zhao Yu was silent for a moment and asked, "What Li Meng said on that day, the Zhao family in Jinan twelve years ago, the Zhao family in Zhu County, Lu County, nine years ago, and the Zhao family in Dangshan 5 years ago, were all framed by you for this reason, right?"

"Framed?"

Tong Yan shook his head and said, "No, that's not a frame-up, I'm just obeying my orders... By the way, the Zhao family in Dangshan does show signs of collusion with Anpingdao, and it's not unfair."

"Why did you find me, Luyang Zhao? What is there in my Luyang Zhao family that you are wondering about?"

"Your family was buying food in a lot back then, right? In Hebei, Xuzhou and other places."

"..." Zhao Yu was slightly stunned.

Seeing Zhao Yu's expression, Tong Yan said calmly: "I know that your Luyang Zhao family bought food to help refugees who entered the country. Of course, I know about your family and Zheng family in Ruyang. I originally came to see if there was any threat in your family. Unexpectedly, the brothers born to you and your brothers were all born to the Tiger Year, and the younger you are said to be even born to Shen Shi..."

"Just just for this?" Zhao Yu clenched his fists and said angrily.

Tong Yan looked at Zhao Yu deeply, shook his head and said, "The inner court has a fate, I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go... I just obey the order."

“…”

Zhao Yu suppressed his anger and stared at Tong Yan. After a long time, the hatred in his eyes gradually faded.

Because he had confirmed that Tong Yan in front of him was just a little pawn who obeyed orders. The one who really caused his Zhao family in Luyang was the inner court, the royal family, and even the current emperor of Jin State.

After breathing a long sigh, Zhao Yu adjusted his mood, then picked up a small packet of poison at the corner of the table and threw it to Tong Yan opposite him.

"I can't tell, you are still a trustworthy person..."

Tong Yan looked at Zhao Yu in surprise, then opened the wine pot, poured all the poison into the wine pot, then picked up the wine pot, shook it a few times, and finally poured a bowl for himself.

After taking a deep look at the turbid poisonous wine in the bowl, Tong Yan looked up at Zhao Yu and asked with a bit of joke: "I'm very curious, what would you do if you know the truth back then? As you can see, I'm just a pawn who obeys orders. The one who really ruins your family is the Li family, and even the current emperor..."

"So what?" Zhao Yu said lightly.

According to what Zhang Ji said at the beginning, Mr. Gongyang suspected that the incident was caused by the royal family, so the gentleman said that if you want to take revenge, you must be prepared to be an enemy of the entire Jin State.

Because of this incident, Zhao Yu had previously been suspicious of the Li family. The reason why he tried every means to capture Tong Yan was, first, to confirm his true enemy, and second, he did not want to let Tong Yan go. After all, eight years ago, Tong Yan led the Liangcheng army to destroy him, the Zhao family in Luyang.

"madness."

Tong Yan sneered, picked up the bowl of poisonous wine with his right hand, drank it all, and then looked at Zhao Yu and mocked: "It seems that in a long time, I will be able to meet you under the nine springs..."

"Not necessarily." Zhao Yu said lightly.

Tong Yan was about to laugh when he suddenly started coughing violently, and then black blood flowed out from his mouth, ears and other seven orifices.

Obviously, he was poisonous.

In his last breath, he said with difficulty: "Let me... let go of my family..."

“…”

Zhao Yu nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Tong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then his head tilted and he leaned on the table with a bang.

He Shun immediately stepped forward, reached out to look in front of Tong Yan's mouth and nose, and immediately said to Zhao Yu: "Big leader, he is dead."

"Um."

Zhao Yu nodded and looked at Tong Yan's body with a complicated expression.

Tong Yan, the man he wished he could cut into pieces so far, finally died at his hands.

But Zhao Yu did not feel any regret in his heart.

Perhaps it was because, as Mr. Yang had guessed, Tong Yan was just a pawn who obeyed orders.

His real enemy of the Zhao family in Luyang is the royal family of this country - the Li family.
