Ji Zhaoning's face was not moved.

It seems that his words did not surprise her, but were still in her expectation.

At this time, Ji Zhaoning raised his eyes, his gaze bypassed Dongfang Shuo, and looked in the direction of the front pavilion of the Drunken Immortal Residence.

After being silent for a moment, Ji Zhaoning said: "In this way, the-for-tat confrontation between you and the third young master of the Sima family is not just taking advantage of the situation, I'm afraid you have already made plans for the future when you came, right?"

Dongfang Shuo shook his head again.

Then, he said: "This is not something that has been calculated for a long time, the third young master of the Sima family suddenly ran out is not my expectation, this is just a matter of taking advantage of the situation." It's just that the homeopathic thing happens to coincide with what I want to do, and that's it. ”

"Doesn't it coincide?"

Ji Zhaoning retracted his gaze, lowered his head and chuckled.

After laughing, she looked up at Dongfang Shuo again: "But no matter what, you have used the excuse of this time to throw a pathfinder stone into the sea of the Longlin Empire." ”

"I don't deny that. ”

At this moment, Dongfang Shuo also smiled slightly.

"After all, the Sima family is also a first-class family in the empire, and it is quite important to put it in the government and the opposition, so you are not afraid of stirring up a thousand waves with one stone?"

"If it can really stir up a thousand waves, it will allow me to see the upper and lower structure of the empire more clearly. ”

"That's a bold idea. ”

"But even so, the fact that you can talk to me calmly now means that this matter is still under your control, right?"

"You're a clever little ghost. Ji Zhaoning nodded, "But the facts, as you can see." ”

"I still don't know how big your power is within the Dragon Forest Empire. At this point, Dongfang Shuo's gaze shifted slightly, and he glanced at the white-clothed swordsman outside the tempering intentionally or unintentionally, "But I think that if there is one person in this world who can help me, it can only be you." ”

At this time, Ji Zhaoning's face suddenly showed a sinister smile.

"Since you know that I have a lot of power, aren't you afraid that after I finish using you, I will throw you aside and ignore you?"

She asked.

Listening to this question, Dongfang Shuo looked at her.

But at this moment, Dongfang Shuo's face was still very calm.

"If you really wanted to do that, you wouldn't have told me at all. Dongfang Shuo said. However, after a short pause, Dongfang Shuo continued, "It's just that this doesn't rule out that you said this in order to let me relax my vigilance." Either way, I have to admit that I need your help. ”

"You're such a realistic person. ”

Ji Zhaoning chuckled.

As soon as she said that, she took out two letters from her body and put them in front of Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the two envelopes in front of him, each of which had the words 'Gongzi Zhang' written on it, but he was completely different, which could prove that it was not from the same person.

However, no matter which letter it is, it is not famous.

"What is this?"

Dongfang Shuo raised his head and looked at Ji Zhaoning.

Ji Zhaoning stretched out his hand, his fingertips lightly pressed the letter on the left in front of Dongfang Shuo, and then spoke: "This letter comes from a general sitting in the southeast of the empire, and he is the feudal official of the empire with heavy troops in his hands. Then, she pressed the one on the right again, "And this one, in it, has the joint names of several rulers in the government and the opposition, covering almost seventy percent of the power in the center of the empire. ”

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes and vaguely understood what Ji Zhaoning meant.

But even so, he asked, "What does this mean?"

"For me, you don't have to pretend to be confused, you're a smart person and you won't not understand what I mean. ”

While speaking, Ji Zhaoning sat upright again, and left the two letters to Dongfang Shuo.

Obviously, this is a multiple-choice question for Dongfang Shuo.

When she mentioned the Xinjiang official, she specifically stated the situation of 'holding heavy troops', which indicated that the letter represented a 'mutiny'.

As for the other letter, it covers seventy percent of the power in the center of the empire, which is enough to challenge the imperial power although there are no soldiers and horses, which means 'overthrowing the imperial power'.

These two choices can undoubtedly help Dongfang Shuo gain imperial power.

Looking at the two letters, Dongfang Shuo said: "It seems that you have long been ready to give me such a choice today, right?" At this point, he raised his gaze and looked at Ji Zhaoning again, "You already knew that I would want you to make this request, but why do you know?"

Ji Zhaoning smiled: "I know everything. ”

"You are not a god, and your perception should also be based on having eyeliner. Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes, "And unless you can arrange your eyeliner to the future, you can only speculate about my thoughts at most." ”

"Why can't I put my eyeliner into the future?"

Ji Zhaoning said with a smile.

Dongfang Shuo stared: "If you can really do this, I will be frightened now and give up cooperating with you." But what I'm sure of is that you can't do this, and what I think, is something you can guess. ”

"That's right. ”

This time, Ji Zhaoning did not say anything ambiguous, but directly affirmed Dongfang Shuo's judgment.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Dongfang Shuo immediately asked: "But what I also don't understand is that you hold the military power of the imperial border in one hand, and control seventy percent of the power in the imperial city on the other, which is almost enough for you to challenge the imperial power." In that case, what do you have to do for you?"

"That's where our ideals come together. ”

Ji Zhaoning said with a smile.

Dongfang Shuo was stunned, but he didn't speak, just waiting for her to continue.

After Ji Zhaoning paused, he said, "You want to get the imperial power, and I want you to kill the emperor." ”

"Kill the Emperor?"

Dongfang Shuo was taken aback.

However, for a person who wants to get imperial power, killing the emperor, although unexpected, is not unacceptable.

"Don't you dare?"

Ji Zhaoning smiled, and there was a bit of playfulness in his tone.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't dare, it's just that I can't understand your thoughts even more." ”

"Where can't I understand?"

"With your current ability, as long as you make up your mind to bring down the imperial power, then you can easily kill the emperor, why bother to talk to me about this?" At this point, Dongfang Shuo turned his head to look at the white-clothed swordsman outside the curtain again, and said, "And if you want to talk about strength, this one outside the curtain is unfathomable, and it seems that he is obedient to you, why don't you let him kill the emperor, why do you have to let me go?"

When it comes to white-clothed swordsmen at this moment, it is precisely because of the specialness of white-clothed swordsmen.

A month ago, when Dongfang Shuo was only twenty-three years old, he felt oppression from the white-clothed swordsman, and it was difficult to see through his cultivation.

And now, Dongfang Shuo has built a hundred and one foundations, and has opened up the second line of Ren Du in one fell swoop, ranking as the king. But even so, he still couldn't see through the cultivation of the white-clothed swordsman, and it was even difficult to judge what his strength was.

Everything only points to one possibility, that is, the white-clothed swordsman is very strong, stronger than today's Dongfang Shuo.

However, after all, he is also the person who guards the side of 'Gongzi Zhang', and it is strange that he is not strong.

He ...... There are strong people in the palace, although he is very strong, but when he enters the palace, he is like a wolf entering a tiger's den, he may not be able to succeed, and he may even take his life. Ji Zhaoning said.

"Yes. ”

Dongfang Shuo chuckled.

The implication of Ji Zhaoning's words is that it doesn't matter if Dongfang Shuo is dead?

However, after all, the two are just using each other, and Dongfang Shuo naturally doesn't care about this kind of thing.

Then, Dongfang Shuo said: "Even if the assassination can't be done, these two letters are also your two choices, and there is no need for me to help you, right?"

Ji Zhaoning shook his head, then looked at Dongfang Shuo with deep meaning, and said, "That's why I said that our thoughts coincide." ”

“......”

Dongfang Shuo wanted to speak and stopped.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ji Zhaoning continued: "I want to kill the emperor, but I don't want the imperial power, but you want to seize power, we each take what we need, it's for the sake of coincidence." ”

"Want to kill the emperor, but don't want imperial power?"

Dongfang Shuo asked with a puzzled smile, "Is it possible, does the emperor have an enmity with you?"

"Is there a feud? ”

Ji Zhaoning said.

Dongfang Shuo was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Under his rule, under the seemingly prosperous surface of the Longlin Empire, in fact, it is secretly turbulent, and countless people at the bottom of the imperial city freeze to death in the famine year, and the emperor is still like this at his feet, how many miserable creatures are there in the territory of this empire?" Ji Zhaoning frowned slightly, and then looked at the sky outside the pavilion, his face full of worry about the country and the people.

Dongfang Shuo sank his gaze and said, "In this way, do you want to kill the monarch for the sake of the Li people of the empire? I really can't see that the young lady who grew up in the Xiang Pavilion can also have such worries." ”

"I'm not anyone's daughter, I was just one of them before I entered the Drunken Immortal Residence. Ji Zhaoning smiled slightly, "Besides, who would send their daughter's daughter to the land of wind and snow?"

"But as far as I know, you have never committed to anyone so far, and you have even refused to see you when the Six Princes want to see you. You like this are obviously not ordinary dusty women. At this point, Dongfang Shuo paused for a moment, and then said, "It's just that what I didn't expect is that a person who will starve and freeze in a famine year can now be in power." ”

"Choose. ”

Ji Zhaoning said, "After the election, I'll do it for you." ”

Her words made Dongfang Shuo's eyes fall on the two letters in front of him again, and he needed to choose one of them.

"Okay, then I'll choose this one. ”

Dongfang Shuo stretched out his hand forward.
