Chapter Two Hundred and Seven: Conspiracy
"Well, I know, when are they going to leave?"
Chu Ran nodded indifferently, and then asked again.
"You can go the day after tomorrow. Zhu ignored it and thought for a moment and said.
"Send someone to follow them, just in case!" Chu Ran said.
"Chen understands!" Zhu Wuzhi nodded slightly.
"Let's go errands. After Chu Ran finished speaking, he continued to correct the recital.
"Yes!"
Zhu ignored what he finished speaking, and left the Heart Cultivation Hall respectfully.
Meanwhile!
In the Dongyun City to the east of the Great Zhou.
Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Different from the quiet City Lord's Mansion in the past, today's City Lord's Mansion is extremely lively.
Because the people who came to visit were some distinguished guests.
These include some of the most prominent families in Shinonome City, as well as ...... The Great Elder of Qingyunmen is also here!
Qingyunmen is a small sect located in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But in the small place of Dongyun City, it is one of the best sects, with thousands of disciples and strong strength.
Therefore, the city lord Cheng Hai specially set up a banquet, and told his subordinates that he refused to welcome guests today and attached great importance to it.
At the banquet, Cheng Hai, the city lord who was sitting in the first seat, greeted everyone at the table with a smile on his fist: "Cheng is very honored that everyone can come to my mansion as guests, especially the great elder of Qingyunmen has also come, it is really a great honor for me Cheng Hai, everyone should eat and drink today, don't be polite to Cheng!"
After listening to Cheng Hai's words, everyone also echoed with smiles on their faces.
"City Lord Cheng is really polite!" Zhao Ping, the Great Elder of Qingyunmen, stroked his long white beard and said with a smile.
"City Lord Cheng, come over today, the old man still wants to ask City Lord Cheng and your opinions!"
Hearing Zhao Ping's later words, Cheng Hai's face suddenly changed.
Not only him, but everyone else also became hesitant.
Cheng Hai naturally knew what the "opinion" in Zhao Ping's mouth meant!
A few weeks ago, Zhao Ping had come to him and asked Cheng Hai if he would like to resell the grain transported by the imperial court in order to earn a higher profit of Yuanshi.
Many people are a little moved, but no one dares to put it into practice!
Because once this is done, it will be against the court in the open!
Cheng Hai frowned with sadness, although he also wanted to do this, but if someone found out, then he would have to face the wrath of the imperial court.
He Cheng Hai didn't have the courage to dare to go against the imperial court!
"Elder Zhao, it is said that this time His Majesty has sent the prince down to give porridge to help the refugees, this matter is too risky, I don't have the courage to dare to do it against the court!"
After hearing this, Zhao Ping chuckled lightly and said, "City Lord Cheng, I need to remind you that just the fact that you have gathered a large amount of grain before and coaxed the grain rack is enough to be included in the capital crime!"
"In that case, then why do you need to take too much into account! Even if Your Majesty wants to send the prince down to give soup and relieve the refugees, what if you dare to stop it, let's find an opportunity to get rid of him!"
Zhao Ping's words made Cheng Hai very frightened, he didn't expect that Zhao Ping would be so crazy that he would dare to kill the prince of the Great Zhou.
This is the business of the Nine Clans!
Seeing that Cheng Hai was still hesitating, Zhao Ping snorted coldly and said: "If the city lord of Cheng is still afraid of the imperial court, then you can rest assured, there is a great martial artist in my Qingyun Sect today, and based on this alone, I believe that the imperial court will not dare to act rashly, and if you want to deal with us, you must also weigh it carefully." ”
What the!
Great Martial Master!
Cheng Hai's breathing became rapid.
He didn't expect that Qingyunmen would have such a background.
A great martial artist, at least a great general, can defeat a master of such a realm as a great martial artist, Cheng Hai really can't imagine how many there can be in Da Zhou.
For a while, Cheng Hai seemed to have taken a reassuring pill in his heart, and suddenly brightened.
Cheng Hai smiled and arched his hand: "With Elder Zhao's words, Cheng is naturally willing to do it! I don't know what your faction wants?"
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
Cheng Hai naturally understands this truth.
It is impossible for people to be kind enough to protect you for free, there are no real friends, only permanent benefits.
Zhao Ping chuckled lightly and said, "Haha! Cheng City Lord is really a cheerful person, and the old man also beat around the bush and said it directly." ”
"Our Qingmen sect has only one condition, and that is to take fifty percent of the profits!"
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Hai's eyes widened, he felt as if he had heard it wrong, and asked again uncertainly.
"Elder Zhao, is your faction asking for too ruthlessness?"
Zhao Ping shook his head lightly and said lightly: "Cheng City Lord, don't worry, once it is discovered by the imperial court, then your safety is fully responsible for my Qingmen faction, and of course we will take half of the credit." ”
Zhao Ping's words are not exaggerated, it is true, once discovered by the imperial court, the prince of the Great Zhou is killed by them, it must be the capital crime of the Jiu clan, just with their weak strength, it really depends on the protection of the Qingmen faction.
After thinking about it, Cheng Hai nodded and agreed: "Okay, Elder Zhao should be like this!"
Zhao Ping laughed again: "Haha, then wait for the imperial court to come, I wish our plan well!"
Everyone echoed and smiled, but they scolded Qingyunmen in their hearts for being shameless.
…………
Three days later.
King Liang and the other princes got on the carriage that went to various places in the east.
In the carriage, Chu Luo, the king of Liang, Chu Mu, the king of Shu, and Chu Hao, the king of Wu, sat opposite each other.
King Liang had a straight body and a low gaze, as if he was thinking about something.
The king of Shu leaned on the carriage with a look of despair.
King Wu was sitting in a precarious position, and when he saw that neither of them spoke, he did not speak.
The three of them knew it by heart.
Seeming to be a little impatient, Chu Mu, the king of Shu, complained: "Your Majesty is really, he actually used us as a tool for the people, we are not in power and we are not in charge of the army, what threat can there be to him, can we do this to us?"
When King Chu Luo of Liang heard this, he glared at him and kindly reminded: "Be careful!"
Wu Wang Chu Hao also said: "Brother Shu Wang, what you said is not right, Your Majesty will let us go because the affairs in the east are too dangerous." ”
When the King of Shu saw that both of them refuted him, he immediately became displeased, and retorted: "Then why did he let us go, wouldn't it be good to send a minister to accompany us, what a noble identity we are, when I think of me staying with those filthy untouchables, I feel uncomfortable in my heart!"
King Wu explained again: "Brother Shu Wang, don't you understand? If Your Majesty sends other ministers to do this, then it will definitely cause resentment among the people, and when the time comes, there will be civil unrest in the east, so what should I do?"
"What's more, we are all brothers of His Majesty, with royal blood, it is because of our noble status that we go to give soup for relief and appease the refugees, so as not to cause civil unrest, and at the same time to enhance the prestige of the court and the prestige of Your Majesty in the hearts of the people!"
Although the King of Shu knew that King Wu was reasonable, he still couldn't help but retort: "What can a group of untouchables do, is it possible that they can make a mess?"
"What's more, I have a million soldiers in the Great Zhou, as long as it causes civil unrest, wouldn't it be good to send an army over to suppress it, it's really eventful!"
When King Wu saw that he could not be persuaded to do so, he did not persuade any more.
Chu Luo slowly spoke: "Okay, don't say it again, there are brocade guards outside, and it will be carefully passed on to His Majesty's ears." ”
When Chu Mu, the king of Shu, heard this, he didn't dare to say a word for a while.
A few days ago, the prince was beheaded by the Jinyi guard, and he still remembered the scene vividly, for fear that the other party would be unhappy and kill him.
The atmosphere in the carriage was quiet again.
Chu Luo lowered his head and thought about what Chu Mu said just now.
Oh, yes!
Although it is left to other ministers to appease, there will be public resentment. However, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Great Zhou, and can they resist the attack of the army if they send a random group to suppress them, and they are unarmed and can't even eat enough?
But Chu Ran didn't do it!
Instead, what does it mean to send them over to appease them?
Is it a repression?
Chu Luo thinks it is used.
But combined with the words brought to them a few days ago, Chu Ran asked Zhu to ignore the words brought to them.
And big moves!
Chu Luo's brain is not stupid, and he knows that the bane in the east is the Great Yan Dynasty.
Thinking about it in combination with this, Chu Luo faintly guessed something.
Don't...... Does Chu Ran want to fight the Great Yan Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Chu Luo couldn't help but become excited.
If this is the case, then he Chu Luo will have the opportunity to exert his strength and ambitions!
"This soup soup soup to soothe the people, it seems that the hidden meaning is very deep, I must do this well, maybe, Your Majesty will really let me go to the battlefield and fight the enemy!"
Chu Luo secretly clenched his fists and thought with determination in his heart.
