Chapter 298: Picking Up the Pace (13)
"Uh-huh....... After hearing Xiao Liu's straightforward question, the shopkeeper paused and replied, "If you want to know, it's not that you can't tell you, but you must ensure that you can't say it to the outside world, even when you report to your master, you can't say it, do you understand what I mean?"www.biquge.info β
"Well...... you understand what you mean...... Xiao Liu nodded slightly and responded, "And you've talked about it to this point, how can I go outside to say it?" I'm not just an errand messenger, I noticed from the time I left that Xiaoxue didn't explain these to me in advance, but only explained after meeting the general, so it can be seen that Xiaoxue deliberately wanted to hide it from my master, so based on this situation, since I want to know, I will definitely not go back on the word and talk nonsense outside. Even if my master asks, I won't miss a word. You can rest assured of this. β
"Hmm...... That's ....... The shopkeeper nodded lightly when he heard this, and said, "You should know Nangong Xue's grandfather, right?" Old lady Xiao Longxiao, it is rumored that Master Long is in the world, you should be no stranger, right......? β
When Xiao Liu heard that it was Xiao Long, he couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper with wide eyes and said, "You...... Do you mean to say ......, you are ...... Long Ye's people? This...... It's so ...... What a surprise....... β
"Hmm...... It's okay....... The shopkeeper said lightly, "Anyway, I don't think I'm surprised, I think that one day I will fight side by side with the imperial court, and we have already prepared ...... in thought." At least not as surprised as you are. And you don't have to, we're not going against the court. This time it's all about helping you. β
"It's not...... I'm not ...... you mean. Xiao Liu replied in a daze, "I actually think that this happened too suddenly, and I really didn't have a ...... for a while, I don't doubt your motives." It's just that I didn't expect this Xiaoxue to be really ...... I admire it, no wonder she's so sure. Co-authored by her grandfather who helped her ....... β
"Well...... you can understand that too. That's right. The shopkeeper said, "But in fact, if it weren't for the outbreak of war here, maybe Xiaoxue wouldn't know about this." And we are just silently paying attention to the movements of Mobei here, and we will not provoke war ...... for no reason. It doesn't mean anything to us, we just want to maintain peace between the two countries as much as possible. The establishment of such a point of contact is also specially built to facilitate contact with those on both sides who are peacemakers. β
"What do you mean that there are still people here in Mobei who want to advocate peace?" Xiao Liu looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Then in that case, this war ...... How can we explain it? β
"Hey...... I knew you would ask ....... The shopkeeper sighed lightly when he heard this, "Actually, according to the information we have obtained, the Khan actually doesn't want to fight this war, but those militant elements lurking around the Khan have to fight, and these people are numerous, and the Khan can't suppress them, so he is forced." β
"The dignified Khan could not suppress the ...... of his subjects." Xiao Liu was a little unimaginable when he heard it, he looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously, and said.
"yes, I can't suppress ......." The shopkeeper breathed softly, "Why do you think it's strange?" β
"That's for sure." Xiao Liu nodded and said, "That's the Khan of the desert, the army is in his own hands, as long as he doesn't want to start a war, even if those militants insist, what can he do?" Isn't it just a war of words? β
"Hey...... Liu Guard...... You're naΓ―ve to think ....... The shopkeeper sighed lightly, "If you say so, then General Huang, who guards the southwest gate, will not lead the whole army to follow the anti-water...... Do you think the emperor will control this? Isn't the emperor also the one who is in charge of the heavy army with one hand? General Huang is anti-water, is he in charge of the dignified 195 Supreme? Isn't there no way at all? Now the emperor must only be able to count on the Imperial Forest Forbidden Army in his hands. Even so, he must still be worried about whether the forbidden army in his hands will also turn against ....... β
ββ¦β¦γβ Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Xiao Liu couldn't help but be silent, thought carefully about the shopkeeper's words, and then said, "I have to admit that what you said is quite reasonable...... hey...... There's no way, Chen Zhao has really attracted people over the years, and the emperor has also neglected to take precautions against this....... β
"In fact, strictly speaking, this is not the emperor's negligence ...... precautions." The shopkeeper said lightly, "It was raised by the emperor, which is called raising tigers." Now that I have made up for it, I just don't know if I can make up ......for it. β
"Uh-huh......." Xiao Liu nodded slightly and said, "I hope we can catch up...... But even if I said that, I still can't understand it, why do you raise tigers? Hasn't the emperor been guarding against Chen Zhao all these years? Beware of him everywhere and prevent him from leaving Beijing at will. How can this be said to be a tiger breeding? β
"Well...... I admit that what you said is true...... but ......." The shopkeeper said lightly, "But despite this, the emperor has never done anything else,...... Anyway, when it comes to this, the old man doesn't care about saying a few more words to you,...... In fact, Long Ye told the emperor a long time ago that Chen Zhao was the descendant of the prince of the previous dynasty, but the emperor didn't listen to it at all, because he had just succeeded to the throne at that time, and Chen Zhao had a great credit to him at this time, so at that time he didn't believe it at all and didn't want to believe that Chen Zhao was the descendant of the prince of the previous dynasty, so Long Ye was also very annoyed, but you said that if you don't believe it, forget it, and expelled Long Ye to prevent Long Ye from staying in the country, at that time he also said that Long Ye was a pirate at sea, and for a long time, he didn't let Long Ye set foot in the empire for half ......a step. If it weren't for the fact that Long Ye was the father-in-law of the Nangong family, I am afraid that Long Ye would only be adrift in this life and would not be able to return ......home. β
"How can this be ......?" When Xiao Liu heard this, he couldn't help but reply softly, "How could the emperor do such a ......?" β
"But even so, although Long Ye was annoyed in his heart, he didn't say anything ......." The shopkeeper said, "Anyway, the emperor can't restrain Long Ye all the time, as long as Long Ye wants to come back, the emperor won't stop ...... if he wants to." (To be continued.) )
