Chapter 153: Choice
Xia Yu also made a decision in his heart, vowing to keep a firm eye on the mountains of Yuping Mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Whether it is from the memories of Murong Wei's previous life, or the news from Gu Chenxiao's present life, in the next few days, he will have to find the mineral deposits in Gu Chenxiao's mouth, and even more so to find the hollow mountain belly mentioned by Murong Wei.
Murong Wei only thought that the hollow mountainside could hide soldiers, but Xia Yuzhi felt that such a huge place, if there was really a copper and tin mine, it should be an excellent place for the Su family to forge weapons in the previous life.
Could it be that the copper and tin mines in Yuping Mountain in the previous life were found by the Su family, and those elite weapons were built in the belly of the mountain?
Now, Xia Yuzhi's only worry is the ownership of these copper and tin mines, although the east and west are in the boundary of Xixia, but no one explores, and Xixia lacks talents in this area.
If he borrowed someone from Gu Chenxiao, he took the opportunity to offer a piece of the pie, and he had no right to reply. And whether the mineral deposits can be found or not is still uncertain, and he can't report to the emperor with something unnecessary.
Xia Yu's eyes were cold, flickering bright and dark, and changed a few times for a while.
The fragrance of the tulip flowers was bursting, drifting into the water pavilion from the four wide open window sashes, in order to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, Murong Wei deliberately chose the place of conversation here.
There were no servants in the water pavilion, looking at the two cold and tax-profitable faces, in order to ease the atmosphere, Murong Wei gently carried the pot to add tea, and wisely did not urge.
The long cloister is full of carved pillars of vermilion lacquer, and is full of herbs such as turnip and duruo, and it climbs up to the branches. Murong Wei was idly pulling a herb and looked at the two people in the water pavilion indifferently, actually feeling a little anxious.
Xia Yuzhi's face changed rapidly, and his worry Gu Chenxiao could naturally guess a few points. If we want to cooperate, we must show 120,000 sincerity.
In a few breaths, Gu Chenxiao had already made a choice.
There is no shortage of mineral deposits in his hands, even if a large amount of copper and tin ore is mined in Yuping Mountain, he does not need to share the cup of Xixia, it is better to make a temporary concession, looking forward to better mutual assistance in the future.
Therefore, Gu Chenxiao admitted that what he wanted most did not include these mineral deposits, his eyes were clear, his expression was dignified and graceful, and he solemnly reaffirmed that he only wanted to form a close ally with Xia Yuzhi now.
Gu Chenxiao quietly came to Xixia this time, hoping to find out the mineral deposits of Yuping Mountain. Wait for the right time to use this as a condition in exchange for Xixia's support for him.
It's risky. Although he and the crown prince had a serious disagreement before, now only a few people, including the emperor and queen, know about it, after all, they have not yet been openly put on the surface. Once the courtiers and concubines in the Kangnan Palace knew, he was bound to push himself to the forefront.
Although Gu Zhengnuo was killed, Gu Chenxiao still couldn't choose to clash with him head-on at this time.
Now Gu Zhengnuo has forces from the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother behind him, covering the sky in the palace with one hand. And although the mother concubine is protected by her father and emperor, it is difficult for her to get out of this war.
And he and the crown prince tore their faces so early, which was to force the courtiers to stand in line in advance. Then, the vast majority of people dare not choose to stand on the opposite side of the enemy of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, Gu Zhengnuo's crown prince is also justified, and he still has no advantage.
Gu Chenxiao couldn't fight a war with unpredictable results, he was afraid that once he lost, he would lose his mother's life.
Therefore, his bright gaze was serene, as calm as the calm sea, and he contemplated the two of them and expressed all his familiar thoughts.
The craftsmen who are familiar with the exploration, smelting and forging process are all sent by him, secretly sent to Xixia, and then searched for mineral deposits with Xia Yuzhi's people. Gu Chenxiao did not take any of the obtained mineral deposits, and if he needed it in the future, he would only ask Xia Yuzhi to provide assistance in weapons.
Naturally, if the exploration is fruitless, the latter one will be meaningless, and he is still willing to leave the craftsman to Xia Yuzhi in case he needs it.
The breeze caressed, Gu Chenxiao's body seemed to have a gradual fragrance of bamboo, clear and noble, floating past Murong Wei's nose in a trance. In the flash of her eyes, Murong Wei had already understood Gu Chenxiao's meaning.
The situation in the previous life is still the same in this life, but Gu Chenxiao in this life has experienced this life and death and has become more calm than in the previous life.
He is not afraid of stretching the battle line, and he can afford time, and he is not even afraid that Gu Zhengnuo will inherit the throne first. As long as he chooses the most opportune time, he will give Gu Zhengnuo a fatal blow.
Sooner or later, the benefits of copper and tin ore will go to the Xixia treasury, and Xia Yuzhi is very glad that Gu Chenxiao did not raise the problem of getting a piece of the pie to himself. In this case, Gu Chenxiao's request behind him is also reasonable, he only divides a small part of the weapons, which is mutually beneficial to both parties.
Gu Chenxiao was full of hesitation, wanting to strive for a longer cooperation between the two sides. He dared to expose his thoughts in front of the two of them, and he was already on the same page as Gu Zhengnuo.
Murong Wei understood that Gu Chenxiao faintly wanted to get further support from Xixia, and even hoped that Xixia would openly support his seizure of the throne, such a big thing, Murong Wei did not dare to speak easily.
Xia Yuzhi's promise was limited to his outing, and it was counted as a private transaction between the two parties. And after all, she is the princess of a country, and speaking must represent the attitude of the royal family and even Xixia.
The matter of Yuping Mountain has not been explained in detail to her father, but with the memory of rebirth, knowing that the smoke of gunpowder is about to rise, she hates Gu Zhengnuo to the core, and these things should not be decided by her.
After thinking about it again and again, Murong Wei stirred the silk handkerchief in her hand, and her shining eyes were completely sincere: "Today, I can't give His Royal Highness King Ning any promises. ”
Gu Chenxiao's eyes darkened, like stars covered by clouds, and he looked at Murong Wei with gentle and harmless eyes, and he was a little childishly wronged.
Murong Wei asked him for tea, gently stroked the wide plum pink sleeves, and brought a faint jasmine fragrance: "I can only promise His Royal Highness King Ning that at the right time, I will ask my father to judge who is Xixia's true friend between His Royal Highness and your crown prince." And I, naturally, am firmly on His Highness's side. ”
Gu Zhengnuo's name, like this person, is filthy from end to end, Murong Wei disdainfully mentions these words, feeling that such a beautiful text used on him simply tarnished the vast and profound culture of China.
Murong Wei looked back on the unbearable past, thinking about Gu Zhengnuo's dirty face, and the shameless transaction she had made with Su Duhan, her heart had already made the right choice.
Listening to Murong Wei's warm words, Gu Chenxiao raised his head slightly, his eyes were leisurely, like the cleanest winter snow, and suddenly melted into the brightest sunshine. Then, the smile turned to the tiny morning sun, and the golden color stained his face.
Gu Chenxiao calmly stretched out his hand to Murong Wei and shook it with her, the calm and confidence in the corners of his eyes was incomparable: "Murong Wei, I believe in your choice, and I also believe that Your Majesty the Emperor will make the right judgment." (To be continued.) )
