356. Scramble III

"Ran'er, do you have a compromise strategy?" Fu Wenxuan would not fail to hear the intention of Gao Ran's exhortation, so he asked bluntly.

"I don't have a specific countermeasure, but I have a general idea ......."

"Oh, what do you think, might as well tell me about it?"

Gao Ran was silent for a while, as if he was sorting out his thoughts and sorting out his emotions. She was like this, but Fu Wenxuan couldn't help but mumble in his heart.

"Wen Xuan, I will find a way to force Yun Zhen to make concessions, and use the double pressure of Tiange and Medical Valley to force him to never take the initiative to provoke your Fu family in my lifetime. But if your Fu family takes the initiative to provoke the Yun family during this period, then I will definitely stand on the side of the Yun family, and then your Fu family will definitely be defeated.

"You should know that as long as I am willing to help the Yun Clan contain you, then Yun Zhen still has the strength to resolve the differences within their clan. And as long as the differences are resolved, the overall power of the Yun Clan will still be slightly stronger than yours. Their weakness at this time is mainly due to the lack of unity within their clan.

"But I don't want to be your enemy. As long as your Fu family does not take advantage of the danger of others, I will always remain neutral and will never take sides of you. And as long as I'm not involved, neither of you will have an absolute advantage. And the Gao family can only always hover between you, not daring to take clear sides. Even if the Yun clan has an indisputable orthodox advantage, in the south of Yunxiang, the actual popular opinion is biased towards your Fu family. If you really want to go toe-to-toe, I'm afraid that the Yun clan may not have an absolute chance of winning. And this will also be where the Yun family and the Gao family have to be afraid of you.

"Therefore, whether it is the Yun family or the Gao family, even if it is only for their own interests, they will not easily violate the bottom line I have drawn.

"Furthermore, because of the relationship between the Medical Valley, even if he changes hands in the Heavenly Pavilion, the three of you will not dare to rashly threaten my life. Otherwise, 'killing the disciples of Yigu' would be to wrap all the hatred that Yigu is about to take revenge on himself. And in this way, it will not only harm itself, but also let the other two parties reap the benefits. - None of you would do such a thing that harms oneself and others.

"So, the best option for you is to wait for me to die, and then you will have to break the balance between you that you have to accept for a while.

"But rest assured, this kind of unwillingly waiting won't last long...... You can afford to wait. ”

"Ran'er, what do you mean by this?"

Fu Wenxuan knew that what Gao Ran said just now did have some truth. If she really only chooses neutrality, does not favor any party, and does not allow any party to cross the line without permission, then the current opportunity is no longer a good opportunity for the Fu family.

Moreover, in addition to such a situation in which the three parties contain each other, he did not forget to consider that after the change of hands in the future, Tiange will inevitably participate in their power struggle. At that time, even if the Heavenly Pavilion may no longer favor Gao Ran as much as it does now, Gao Ran's influence on the next Heavenly Pavilion Pavilion Master should not be underestimated. - Although he had only met "Seven" once, Fu Wenxuan had already seen Gao Ran's understanding of "Seven" at that time, and he was very sure: "Seven" was not Gao Ran's opponent, and Gao Ran would not support a chess piece that she could not control well to replace Qiu Yueze.

Therefore, Fu Wenxuan also believes: as long as Gao Ran does not die for a day, and they are afraid of the complete revenge of the Medical Valley, then their main Quartet forces will not be the first to violate Gao Ran's bottom line, let alone kill Gao Ran stupidly, and choose to sacrifice themselves to fulfill the other three parties. - What's more, it's unknown whether he can kill Gao Ran without hurting his vitality.

However, since the situation that Gao Ran hoped to form in which the four parties checked and balanced each other was feasible, then why did she have the last exclamation? If it was just because Gao Liwen's specific whereabouts and his specific forces had not yet been able to be grasped, now that Fu Wenxuan had Amu's help, then it would be just around the corner to solve this hidden danger. Gao Ran didn't need to worry too much about this, and she couldn't have thought of it......

"It has nothing to do with Gao Liwen. Gao Ran seemed to have penetrated Fu Wenxuan's mind at this time, and deliberately said his doubts at the moment bluntly.

Fu Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled lightly to cover up the panic at this moment.

"With Amu's help, and the fact that I have already asked Tiange and my junior uncle to help me find Gao Liwen's whereabouts as soon as possible, it will not be long before Gao Liwen's threat to me will no longer be as unpredictable as in the past.

"Besides, if you can look at it from another angle, in fact, with me in the middle of the three of you, this is not a good thing for your Fu family. Won't your Fu family be able to take this opportunity to recuperate and recuperate? By the way, you can also 'deal with' Gao Liwen's hidden danger as soon as possible. If necessary, you can also bring the Gao family together to deal with Gao Liwen. - After all, Gao Liwen is now a hidden danger to the Fu and Gao families, and the Yun family will not treat him.

"Besides, if you really want to be able to protect the Fu family and Gao Liwen at the same time as you wish in the future, then you yourself must first take advantage of this short period of peace to truly replace Fu Tong as the new ruler of the Fu family - even if you can't become the head of the family because of your male body, you must firmly control the real power in your own hands. It's a big deal, you can raise a suitable puppet to sit in the position of the head of the family at that time, and you, just be the real master behind this puppet, right?

"I think you might as well take such a test as a minor trial. - Do you think, if you are forced by the situation in the future to take away the entire territory of Yunxiang from the hands of the Yun family, but in order to stabilize the people's hearts, at least for a generation, you still need to support a puppet of the Yun family to continue to occupy the throne. Then it is to wait patiently for the people to gradually get used to it-even if they all know that the real power is in the hands of your Fu family, it will still not affect their lives, and even, because of your rule, they can still get better and better - after the people basically acquiesce in this fact and get used to it, you and the puppet emperor of the Yun clan will complete a ceremony of the transfer of imperial legitimacy, then your legitimacy should be acceptable to the majority of the people after another generation......

"It's just that if you really come to this point, even if the Yun family is controlled by your Fu family in the end, the throne is not destined to be yours. — but it could be a ...... of one of your children and grandchildren."

Speaking of this, Gao Ran let out a long sigh of some boredom.

"Ran'er, that's not what you really want to say, right?"

In fact, when Gao Ran was talking like this, Fu Wenxuan basically thought of all the things she could think of. ——After accepting her intention to have their Quartet (the Fu family, the Gao family, the Yun family, and the Heavenly Pavilion) all stand still for the time being, he immediately thought: What can he do for himself and the Fu family in such a situation?

After all, he is the one who needs to think about these things more. Gao Ran, on the other hand, only needs to consider: how to force them so that they don't dare to act rashly?

But the truth is that she didn't just think about it, she thought about it for him...... This happened to Gao Ran, but it made Fu Wenxuan feel a little abnormal.

Gao Ran looked at Fu Wenxuan thoughtfully for a while before he said meaningfully: "Wenxuan, in this world, I'm afraid only you can easily hear my sincerity......

Fu Wenxuan couldn't help frowning, he vaguely felt that Gao Ran seemed to be saying goodbye to him.

But Gao Ran didn't continue to talk, but talked about another serious thing that the two of them would soon have to face:

"By the way, I almost forgot...... As you know, we will soon be summoned to the palace. Of course, even without my involvement, Yun Zhen would not be stupid enough to do it to you on his own territory. It would be a declaration of war against the forces behind you, and it would be tantamount to pulling you all together against him. Therefore, during your stay in Beijing, your Fu family will not have to worry about life.

"But this meeting can be an opportunity. I've already spoken to the core group that we have to rely on. If my estimate is right, then when we enter the palace for the banquet, we can see from the attitude of Yun Zhen and those people towards us whether they are willing to accept my proposal and whether they are willing to maintain the status quo with your Fu family for the time being?

"No matter what their attitude is, my attitude will not change. And now, I have made it clear to both of you that I will not take sides of you, but I will never allow any of you to try to cross the line while I am still there. Otherwise, I will let Tiange and Yigu side the other side at any time.

"I believe that with the blessing of my two times the power of any of you, as long as I am willing, even if I can't completely destroy any of you in a short time, kill Yun Zhen or you and Fu Tong, and then re-select and support a new puppet among your own forces, and use him to contain the forces of both of you for me - I can still do this.

"Don't think that because I'm an outsider, I can't control the forces behind you. In fact, as long as I have in my hands the suppression of you by powerful forces that you would have no chance of winning if you fight me alone, and especially with other people in your respective forces who already have some prestige, whose status is orthodox, and who are very eager to control the supreme power of your own people, but who have no chance— If I conspire with such a person, then I will support him as my puppet for the time being, but promise him to return power to him completely when I die, plus the shackles of the poison I made him take, and the fact that no other unrelated person will ever know about my existence behind him from the beginning to the end - do you think it is really that difficult for me to control the power of both of you in a short time?

"I dare say that if I have the will, even if I let my puppets take a deadly poison, they will willingly take it in order to get the power they crave, and then be at my disposal until I die. - Just like the original 'seven'......"

"So, you won't live long?"

Fu Wenxuan did not forget the doubts in his heart because of Gao Ran's avoidance of talking. On the contrary, because of Gao Ran's warning, he deduced that the only possibility for the puppet to willingly take the poison was to make the puppet willingly swallow the poison: if that puppet really had the ability to control his own power for Gao Ran, then he would not be willing to serve her all the time under her. Even if it is true that choosing to serve her temporarily will be much less time-consuming than choosing to compete with other opponents, if Gao Ran lives too long, then such a wait may not necessarily be more cost-effective. Perhaps, such a low-risk wait is better than taking a risk and fighting for it directly. - At least, if he wins, he can directly obtain the power he dreams of without waiting, and if he loses, the big deal is death, but this is still better than being a puppet in the hands of Gao Ran for a lifetime, and it is better than waiting for Gao Ran to completely delegate power to him without knowing when he will get it.

Therefore, even if Gao Ran did not reveal anything, it was not difficult for Fu Wenxuan to speculate: with Gao Ran's resourcefulness, it was impossible for her not to think of this. And if she also thought of this, but was still very confident in the warning she had just given, then there was only one possibility-Gao Ran, she was actually dying. Only if she really doesn't live long, then the puppet she supports may be willing to wait patiently for a few years, at the least price in exchange for the ultimate control of his own clan obtained through her.

Gao Ran listened to Fu Wenxuan's question, which seemed to have nothing to do with her warning, and was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted again, knowing that he still couldn't hide it from him after all. He must have found a clue that was not easy to detect in the warning she had just given, and he deduced the truth that she didn't want to tell.
