Chapter 37 On the World
(Big chapter, one more, ask for a monthly pass.) )
"Is Childe going back?" At the door of the Bafang Inn, Ji Huanxi asked with a frown.
Wei Lai's expression was not depressed, so he said at that time: "Girl, at this moment, there is no need for you and me to continue acting, since the girl is deliberately trying to pull me out, then if there is anything to do, or if there is something to say, just say it." ”
Wei Lai's frankness made Ji Huanxi slightly stunned, but soon the trademark charming smile appeared on her face again.
"I've heard a lot of rumors about Childe in Tailin City. ”
"It is said that the son of Wei Shou, the Shuangbi of Yanting, was stupid by the water, and he bowed to kill his father's enemy day after day. After the news of Wupan City spread, the world knew that they had been deceived by Gongzi. ”
"When I saw it today, Childe was not only not stupid, but also very smart. Ji Huanxi covered his mouth and chuckled.
Wei Lai was not very accustomed to the other party's way of speaking, he frowned again, and said, "The girl praised it falsely." ”
Although it was polite words, the tone was full of the chill of rejection thousands of miles away.
Ji Huanxi also knew that her method had no effect on Wei Lai, so she simply restrained the smile on her face and said softly: "Since the son doesn't want to stay with me longer, it's not easy for people to force it." But the ten taels of silver have already been spent, so why does Childe have to let the family get the book back?"
"Accompany me on a trip and let the family finish what they want to say to Childe, so that Childe doesn't have to worry about me coming to you every day, okay?"
I have to say that although Ji Huanxi looks similar in age to Wei Lai, she is very good at manipulating people's hearts, and the bureau pokes at Wei Lai's pain points, so it is no wonder that those holy sons of Qiankun Sect will be played with by her and applauded, without knowing it.
Wei Lai pondered for a few breaths, and then nodded, he was also curious about what this woman was going to do, not to mention that after seeing the four marquis of Yu Mansion from the past to the present yesterday, although Wei Lai had no intention of participating in this complex whirlpool that he could not fight, but deep down, he still wanted to know what the purpose of this group of people was, maybe these messages could help the little marquis to some extent.
Walking on the streets of the ancient Tongcheng City, the vendors are shouting and drinking, the shops in the wine shops and restaurants are busy, and the children are chasing and laughing, everything is no different from every day before this ancient Tongcheng. No one really noticed that the dark tide was surging under the calm surface of Gu Tong City. At this point, Gutong City is very similar to Wupan City a few months ago......
Ji Huanxi looked at everything on the street with a smile, and suddenly asked, "Did Gongzi go to the Yu Family Ancestral Temple yesterday?"
Wei Lai glanced at the woman beside him in surprise, and had to admit that Ji Huanxi was indeed born very beautiful, even Lu Yan'er was inferior to it, among the women Wei Lai saw, probably only the cold Ah Cheng could have a look to compete with.
Wei Lai did not hide what happened yesterday, after all, since the woman mentioned it, she should have enough evidence to think about it. It is estimated that the Hu family in this ancient Tong City has completely fallen to the Qiankun Gate at this moment, otherwise this Ji Huanxi will be able to reach the sky again, and it is impossible to spread the eyeliner so tightly and impermeably after coming to Wupan City for two or three days.
Seeing that Wei Lai acquiesced in this matter, Ji Huanxi said again: "What did those Hou Ye say to you? Let the prince save the Tong Forest, or save the little Hou Ye?"
Wei Lai did not answer this question, but continued to be silent - Wei Lai, who has been a fool for six years, is the most bad at communicating with people. The girl in front of him is very good at this, Wei Lai is afraid that even if he spits out a few words, he will let the other party guess something, even if he has no intention of helping the Yu family, but he will not do anything unfavorable to him. Therefore, silence at the moment is Wei Lai's best choice.
Ji Huanxi didn't show the slightest annoyance at Wei Lai's silence, she continued to ask: "Then in the eyes of Gongzi, Huanxi should be a heinous person like the snake in the Wupan River, right?"
This time, Wei Lai raised his eyes and glanced at her, and responded calmly: "I don't know anything except the girl's name, so I don't dare to make a conclusion." It's just that the snake and I have a common enmity, and what the girl is doing now seems to me to be far behind. ”
Ji Huanxi turned his head to meet Wei Lai's gaze and blinked: "Does that son want to know who I am?"
"Yes. Wei Lai said truthfully, the woman's cultivation is extremely high, Wei can't see the depth, but the age is similar to him, such a character should be famous in the Great Yan Dynasty, but Wei Lai thought about it carefully, but there is no such person in his memory, how can he not be curious?
Ji Huanxi smiled when she heard this: "My mother often said that being curious about a person is the beginning of liking her, so be careful." ”
"......" Wei Lai was speechless for a while, he still underestimated Ji Huanxi's ability after all, so he could only be silent again.
Ji Huanxi was also a little bored when he saw this, so he simply closed his voice, and the two of them walked forward in silence, and before they knew it, they came to Nanyang Street, the main street of Gutong City.
In the middle of Nanyang Street is the Hou Mansion of the Yu family, but at this moment, the front of the Hou Mansion is full of people from the Hu family, who are begging to see Yu Hou and ask him to allow the Hu family to cut down the woodland to avenge Hu Fuxing's youngest son. This situation has lasted for more than half a month, and the Hu family has taken turns to squat at the gate of Yu's mansion, but Yu Tong has always been closed, and the people have long been surprised by this farce.
"What does Childe think of the Hu family?" Ji Huanxi looked up at the people in front of Yu Hou's Mansion, and suddenly broke the silence.
"Not good. Wei Lai made a conclusion with certainty.
"So in Childe's heart, I shouldn't be so good as a bad person, right? It's just that it's not so bad that like that old snake, Childe can't wait to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin. Ji Huanxi said softly.
Wei Lai didn't know why to comment, but that silent attitude was obviously a tacit acquiescence to Ji Huanxi's remarks.
But the girl was still not annoyed, and continued: "The Hu family is a relative of the Yu family, a close relative. ”
"The Hu family can have today's status thanks to the support of the Yu family back then, and the dog raised by the family bit the owner for a bite of food, which is called a white-eyed wolf, which is really bad. ”
"What about Qiankun Gate? fell from the Divine Sect a hundred years ago, these years are like a vicious dog, where is there a chance to return to the Divine Sect, so I will come to the past with one mind, several generations have been completely stunned, has reached the point of unscrupulous means, who in this world can smell the fragrance of the Divine Sect for him, they will squat down, shaking their heads and tails at you. They're not good either. ”
When the Zhou Dynasty collapsed, Yu Nuo, the ancestor of the Yu family, drew his sword and took the white wolf to swallow the moon. Although now because of one reason or another, the history books are very secretive about the dispute between the Yu family and the Yuan family, but the records of other countries in the north make it very clear that if the fight continues, with the white wolf swallowing the moon, the eight great sages of Yu Nuo can be cut down, and they may not necessarily be defeated by the Yuan family. ”
"So this Great Yan Jiangshan is not so much that Yan usurped Zhou, but that the Yu family gave it to Great Yan. ”
Of course, there may be the old marquis of the Yu family who has the world in mind and can't bear the big mind of the people of Li again, but it is more because of the yin dragon under the tung forest outside the city. ”
"Back then, Zhou usurped Dayu, and his methods were despicable, and he was even more unbearable than Yan usurping Zhou. It is rumored that a southern saint was invited at a great price to steal the unfinished national fortune with vicious secret methods, and this is why the Great Saturday has been ruled for a hundred years. But after all, Da Yu's qi is not exhausted, and Zhou steals the fortune of the country, but he can't extinguish the dragon vein. The dragon veins hidden in the ancestral land of the Yu family absorbed the souls of the 100,000 ancestors of the Yu family who died in vain, turned into a yin dragon, and entrenched here. ”
"Although it was suppressed by the immortals with a paulownia tree, the Yin Dragon was not extinguished, and the luck was connected to the Yu family. At that time, Yu Nuo knew that once the Yu family won the world, the luck of the four states would be reversed, and at that time, Mo said that this paulownia tree would bring the eight great sages of the four states, and it might not be the opponent of the Yin Dragon. The old marquis knew the general situation, so he relieved his military power, accepted the white wolf swallowing the moon that made the world fearful, and returned to the ancestral land. ”
In this way, the Yu family really can be called the world. I think that's what Wei Gongzi thinks the same in his heart, right?"
Ji Huan's joyful words made Wei Lai secretly frightened.
The woman's insight is not profound, but it is enough to make many men who like to talk and think they know the general trend of the world ashamed.
But he didn't like the feeling of being led by the woman's nose like this, he frowned, and asked, "What is the reason why the girl has bothered to talk to me so much?"
Ji Huanxi pursed his lips and smiled, and said coquettishly: "Childe is not patient yet. ”
But seeing that Wei Lai's brows were furrowed again, he also knew that with Wei Lai's incomprehensible temperament, Bao Buqi would really do the thing of "slamming the door and leaving".
Therefore, Ji Huanxi cleared his throat, and then said: "It may be a little abrupt to say, Huanxi wants to tell Gongzi a truth." ”
"Huh?" Wei Lai looked strange and confused.
"Gongzi thinks that the Yu family is good, the Qiankun family is bad, and the Hu family is evil. Therefore, or the Jin family behind me pulled these two gangsters to do something bad to the Yu family. ”
"But it's not. ”
"The Yu family is naturally upright and upright in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, it is trapped by the souls of the 100,000 ancestors seven hundred years ago. The descendants of the Yu family have guarded these 100,000 dead souls for generations, and the previous generation Yu Hou Yu Cheng Guo died young, there are many reasons, but the 100,000 Yin Souls are to blame. What about the little marquis now? He is talented and known to the world. In addition to the two academic palaces of Wuya and Qingying, seven of the top ten Divine Sects in the northern realm have thrown olive branches to the little marquis. But the little marquis has to guard these 100,000 ghosts, and he can't go anywhere. ”
"So you want to destroy Tonglin, in fact, to help the Yu family understand the knot or fate of these hundreds of years?" Wei Lai raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice.
Of course, Ji Huanxi could hear Wei Lai's clumsy ironic tone, and she smiled again: "Of course not." His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince lost the inheritance of Guan Shanhui, and the queen had to find another copy for him, she valued the dragon energy in the body of this Yin Dragon and the great creation in the future, and wanted to refine this thing into a divine pattern Daoyun and give it to the prince. ”
"In this way, the scourge of the Yin Dragon will be eliminated, and the Yu family will also be able to get rid of the fate of being shackled for hundreds of years, wouldn't it be both?"
Ji Huanxi said it rightly, but Wei Lai still found it difficult to agree with the other party's statement: "But is the Yu family willing?"
One hundred thousand yin souls and the yin dragon become one, once the yin dragon is refined, the yin souls that represent the ancestors of the Yu family will also inevitably die, how can the Yu family watch their ancestors become the cornerstone of others to ascend to the sky.
"Seven hundred years have passed, and those 100,000 Yin Souls have already fused and converged, and have been sucked into the mansion by that Yin Dragon. It was indeed transformed by 100,000 Yin Spirits, but it was no longer the ancestor of his Yu family. The Yu family understood this truth, but they did not dare to make a decision. A lot of things in this world are troublesome here, like ......"
Ji Huan, who said this, was overjoyed, glanced at Wei Lai meaningfully, and then said, "Just like Mr. Wei, the father of the son." ”
Mr. Wei knew that the rise of Wupan waters was the trend of the times, and it was related to the rise and fall of Dayan. He couldn't stop it, he couldn't stop it, but he still had to do it. ”
"Whether he is good, or Mr. Lu, he can be called Yan Ting Shuangbi, they are naturally smart people, and it is no exaggeration to say that if they live to the age of Lord Zhou Mu with peace of mind, it is a matter of nails to be hammered into the iron plate to open the Eight Dao Divine Gates. But they died early in Wupan City, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, it is nothing more than that they can't get over the hurdle in their hearts. ”
"The Yu family happens to have such a predicament, and what we have done is of course not comparable to the benevolence and righteousness of Lao Yu Hou to save the lives of the people and return to the field. But just because we're doing something for our own benefit doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The Yu family couldn't make a decision, we helped him make it, the little marquis from now on the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, he can still cultivate the body of a great sage in his year, isn't it beautiful? Why bother to stay here for 100,000 dead people, and even ...... Lost his life. ”
When Wei Lai heard this, his heart jumped.
He could clearly feel that at the moment when these words were spoken, the murderous intent that popped up between the woman's eyebrows, he had no doubt that the other party was really determined and capable of killing the little marquis.
"So, you came here today to make me your lobbyist and persuade Yu Tong?" Wei Lai frowned.
"Half. Ji Huanxi gave an ambiguous answer to Wei Lai.
"I want Childe to be a lobbyist for others, but it doesn't matter if I don't convince that little marquis. Ji Huanxi said calmly: "I have heard the story of the Yu family, in all fairness, I admire the persistence of the Yu family, but I have my mission, and it is naturally good for the little marquis to get out of the matter, but if the son can't convince him, I am also 100% sure that this Ningzhou Hanxing list will fall." ”
"His life and death are just a gift from me to my son. ”
Ji Huanxi changed the coquettish and girlish attitude that she had been showing in front of Wei Lai before, and the woman in front of her at this moment was light and light, and her words revealed that she had everything in her hands and planned it. Wei Lai was secretly frightened, but he forcibly suppressed the strangeness in his heart, stared at Ji Huan and said, "Then what about the other half that I didn't guess?"
"Gongzi should have seen that Chu Hou's widow, Ah Cheng, right?" Ji Huanxi did not answer Wei Lai's question, but asked instead.
Wei Lai nodded, but he didn't understand why the woman suddenly asked about it.
"When the Marquis of Chu was beheaded, according to the responsibility of His Majesty at that time, the Marquis of Chu was a rebel, and it stands to reason that he should be connected to the nine clans. ”
But the crown princess at that time, that is, the prince's biological mother, stepped forward to save the young Ah Cheng. But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, Ah Cheng was demoted to slavery, lost his surname, and from that day on, Ah Cheng became Ah Cheng. ”
"For Mangzhou, it doesn't matter if Ah Cheng is a slave or an official, as long as Ah Cheng is still alive, the entire Mangzhou will look forward to the orphan girl. And Ah Cheng thanked the prince's biological mother for her kindness, so she naturally stood on the prince's side. Oh, by the way......" Ji Huanxi, who said this, seemed to remember something extremely interesting, she suddenly paused and showed a strange smile towards Wei Lai: "Wei Gongzi should have heard of the prince's biological mother, right?"
"You mean Ling Zhao Niangniang?" Wei Lai asked.
As Ji Huanxi said, Queen Ling Zhao is the biological mother of the crown prince. She was born in a common family, and married to the current saint forty years ago, and followed His Majesty the Emperor, who was still the crown prince at the time, to be the crown princess for 28 years. But I don't want Empress Ling Zhao to fall at the moment before His Majesty ascended the throne, and Empress Ling Zhao's title is also posthumously sealed after the current saint ascends the throne.
"The world says that Ling Zhao Niangniang is virtuous and virtuous, treats people like a gentleman, and never knows what to calculate. Especially today, the power of foreign relatives is growing, and there is no shortage of rumors about Ling Zhao still in the government and the opposition, and why is Da Yan here. ”
But even the seemingly harmless Ling Zhao Niangniang has her own careful thoughts. Does Childe know what Ling Zhaoniang's last wish was twelve years ago before she died?"
"What?" Wei Lai asked, puzzled.
The smile on Ji Huanxi's face was even worse, she leaned on Wei Lai's ear, and said softly: "Let Ah Cheng, who was only seven years old at the time, make a marriage contract with the prince in his early twenties......
"Huh!?" Wei Lai's heart jumped, and his face changed slightly.
He couldn't even say it himself, why when he heard that the orange-clothed woman who had been separated for several months and had only been with him for more than ten days had a marriage contract, Wei Lai's heart would be filled with indescribable strange emotions. Although he tried his best to make himself look calm enough, such a clumsy approach obviously couldn't hide Ji Huanxi's eyes.
The woman in red covered her mouth and chuckled: "People say that the son never looks at people with the right eyes, it turns out that the son likes a woman like Miss Ah Cheng." ”
Wei Lai was really helpless about Ji Huanxi's taboos, and he had no intention of dwelling on this topic: "What the girl thinks is the girl's own business, and she has no ability to correct it, but what is the other half of what the girl is talking about, the girl has not yet clarified it with Zaixia." ”
Ji Huanxi was also knowledgeable, and knew what it meant to stop at the point, so she continued: "The prince is so smart, he should know very well what the marriage contract between the prince and Ah Cheng means. From that moment on, the prince was firmly tied to Manzhou. And this is also the reason why the crown prince can still sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince in the storm of the Jin family. ”
While speaking, the two of them had already passed through Nanyang's house and arrived at the market in Gutong City, where the flow of people was more dense than the previous streets.
"The battle between the two dragons is imperative. The Ah Cheng girl who Gongzi had in mind came to Ningzhou from Manzhou, saying that she was here for the trial, but in fact she was a lobbyist for Her Royal Highness the Prince. She knew very well that behind the five princes stood the queen mother, and behind the queen mother stood Guzhou and Kuanzhou. If she wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have a place in this dispute, Ningzhou is the only thing she must and can fight for. ”
"If the two dragons take the heir, there will be an injury. The royal war will only sway on the ground of Tailin City until the last moment, and it will always be these ordinary people who will truly bear the fruits of this karma. ”
Saying that, Ji Huanxi stretched out his hand and pointed to the endless crowd in front of him: "It's like the current Gutong City, if I hadn't come here in person, there would have been many changes in the suppression of Yin Long, and it would be hard to say how many of these people would survive." ”
"And once the battle for succession intensifies, there will be more and more frequent such things. But not every city and every citizen can meet me or my son like the ancient Tong City or Wupan City in front of them. ”
Wei Lai's brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked in a deep voice, "What does the girl want to say?"
Ji Huanxi blinked again: "The eyes of the entire Great Yan have fallen on Ningzhou, and Ningzhou's decision will also determine whether the people of the four states of Great Yan will continue to enjoy this peaceful and prosperous era or be involved in the endless struggle for imperial power in the next ten years or longer." ”
"Childe has the style of your father, I want to ask Childe to ask for a piece of national peace and security for the people of Dayan. ”
Ji Huanxi said this, the playfulness on his face was completely restricted, and he stared at Wei Lai with a solemn face.
"Do you mean to let me persuade Jiang Huanshui to let him cling to the Jin family?" Wei Lai glanced at the woman strangely, in the little contact with Ji Huanxi, Wei Lai had always felt that this girl who looked about his age was unfathomable, but at this moment, her request made Wei Lai a little suspicious of the judgment he had made before.
Wei Lai's sense of the Jin family is extremely poor, whether it is his father and mother and Lu Guanshan's death, there is more or less the shadow of the Jin family, and all kinds of things happen in Wupan City, this is also the plan of the Jin family, Wei Lai is lucky not to provoke the Jin family, how can he repay his kindness to help the Jin family?
But Wei Lai didn't explain the root cause of this to the girl in front of him, he just shook his head and said: "Girl, you are too high-minded, how can I be a commoner who has the ability to talk about the state pastor." ”
"It doesn't matter whether there is or not, it's just a question of whether Childe wants to or not. Ji Huanxi responded.
"Jiang Huanshui is old, the two proudmen are dead, and the only daughter is also dead. There are not many relatives in this world, and the more this time, the more weighty Childe's words become. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Huanxi paused again, and looked at Wei Lai's eyes with a smile on his face: "After all, Gongzi is his only grandson......
