Chapter 177: New Ideas
Wu Zhizai smiled and shook his head, "Cheng Ting, do you want me to feel guilty? I won't feel guilty." Don't forget, it was my father who blocked your own father back then. The strength of the Hao clan is not something that can be easily defeated. Yes, I admit it, because of my relationship, it was not easy for my father to be in front of the blazing clouds. You should have heard that after I made a big fuss about the palace three years ago, the picture above Blazing Cloud did not blame me, but blamed my father for making a fuss. It's just a talisman that doesn't mean anything. ”
Wu Zhizai smiled bitterly and shook his head, chatting with Cheng Ting for more than two months, most of them were talking about some issues related to state affairs. If Cheng Ting said something about the Nanzi Dynasty, he would be very interested in listening to it. But Cheng Ting didn't say a word about this, but was very interested in Wu Zhizai's affairs. This is Wu Zhizai's turn to have a headache, and he really doesn't want to talk too much about himself. If you say too much, you will lose, he is afraid that one day, he will accidentally tell Cheng Ting about An Youming's existence.
Wu Zhizai put away the dishes and chopsticks, and left without looking back.
Cheng Ting said behind him: "It should be soon, I will be able to hear the news of the fall of your Hao clan." Hopefully that day won't be too long. ”
Wu Zhizai dropped a sentence lightly, "It will disappoint you, just like you think you can beat me." ”
When night fell, Wu Zhizai lay alone on the deck, watching the dense stars and bright moon in the sky. Whenever Wu Zhizai was lying here alone, the other people on the boat were very conscious not to come here, because they knew that Wu Zhizai did not want to be disturbed by others.
Sometimes they see Oh Zhizai lying here with his eyes closed and meditating, while others are looking at the stars in the sky. Only Su Xiaowen and Lan Ruo knew that at this time, Wu Zhizai would communicate with An Youming.
An Youming's voice sounded, "Wu Zhizai, from tomorrow onwards, you let others bring food to Cheng Ting." The rest of the crew can't do it, so let Shun Kang or Su Xiaowen go over. I think it's better to let Su Xiaowen go, if there is any emergency, Su Xiaowen will definitely be able to deal with it. ”
There have been no emergencies in the past two months, and there will probably be no in the future.
Wu Zhizai said: "You're right, I shouldn't personally bring food to him." He wanted to know me better so that he could overcome me in the future. I can understand him. I've known about this for a long time. Actually, if I pay attention to it a little bit, nothing will happen. ”
Cheng Ting wanted to understand him, why didn't he want to know about Cheng Ting and the affairs in the Nanzi court. Cheng Ting also knows this.
"An Youming, do you think what Cheng Ting said is true? Regarding the fact that my father has not recovered from his serious injury. ”
"Looking at Cheng Ting's appearance, I think Cheng Ting also heard Liu Huanying's speculation. If that's the case, Liu Huaying did seriously injure your father back then. Returning the talisman to the imperial court is a matter of no refuge. But this storm army is your father's hard work for more than ten years, and taking away your father's storm army is equivalent to taking away the fangs and claws of a tiger. After the hunter has taken away the tiger's fangs and claws, the next step is to take the tiger's fur. ”
Tigers can live for a while without fangs and claws, and if they can learn to eat grass, they can live longer. But if the tiger doesn't have any fur on its body, it dies instantly.
Haoyu's "tiger skin" is everything Haoyu has at the moment, his official position, and his family.
It is not easy to take away Haoyu's "tiger skin" from the picture above the blazing clouds, and Wu Zhizai still understands this in his heart.
When he was still in Yan'an City before, Wu Zhizai learned about the war from people's mouths. At that time, the Qiyang Dynasty was the largest country in the world and had a vast territory. In addition to being robbed of half of the country by the Nanzi Dynasty, several countries in the Western Regions took advantage of the fire and captured more than a dozen cities.
The common people did not have time to flee from the cities that were taken, and lived in darkness there, not even as good as a brute. When the people of the Qiyang Dynasty knew about this, they were grateful to their father in their hearts, and they were grateful to him for protecting the country and protecting them.
Therefore, my father's prestige in the hearts of the common people is very high, but this prestige is because he ignores the royal family, and the emperor does not care at all. The prestige of my father in the hearts of the common people is slowly weakening. Although the feudal imperial power oppressed the common people, in any case, the imperial power was still not allowed to be trampled on in the hearts of many ordinary people.
"Wu Zhizai, in fact, you don't have to feel guilty. I've told you before that it's been a long-standing fact that your father has been jealous of the blazing clouds. It's only a matter of time before Blazing Clouds will make a move on your father. ”
Wu Zhizai said: "But because of my recklessness, this time has been advanced a lot. My eldest brother is already nineteen years old, but his spiritual power is at the level of the Great Luo Heavenly Master Heavenly Realm, and even Brother Xiaowen's strength is not as good. The strength of the eldest brother is only able to gain a foothold in Yan'an City, where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is located. But the eldest brother is different from others, he is the eldest son of the general. is already nineteen years old, and this strength is not qualified to inherit his father's mantle at all. An Youming, I have to go back as soon as possible. ”
An Youming said: "What can you do when you go back? You have no prestige in the hearts of the people, and you don't have your own manpower. You have no choice but to go back now. Princes, sons and daughters of the powerful, they will unite against you. Wu Zhizai, you have to calm down, according to our previous plan, wait for you to reach adulthood at the age of sixteen, enter the barracks, and then make meritorious contributions. Plug other people's mouths with credit, and swagger back to Yan'an City. You're sixteen years away, but two and a half years away, and that time will soon pass. ”
"That was my previous idea, but now I have a new idea. ”
An Youming was taken aback, "You want to fight Cheng Ting's idea?"
"That's right. The sixth prince, Chi Yunjing, is now in the Nanzi Dynasty as a hostage, and Cheng Ting is now in my hands. I can use Cheng Ting as a bargaining chip to exchange hostages with Liu Huanying. ”
An Youming laughed angrily, "Haha, Wu Zhizai, are you in the water in your brain? Cheng Ting is Liu Huanying's illegitimate son, no one knows." Even if someone knew, that person wouldn't say it. If Chi Yunjing returned to the Qiyang Dynasty, it would mean that the Qiyang Dynasty would not have to pay tribute to the Nanzi Dynasty every year in the future. Do you know what it means to pay tribute? It is the meaning of a courtier to a gentleman? You let Liu Huanying betray your court for an illegitimate child?How could Liu Huanying do this?And Liu Huanying has more than one son. Compared with this illegitimate child, of course, fame and honor are more important. When the time comes, Liu Huaying will kill you directly. Maybe before you have time to solve Cheng Ting, he will already kill you. At that time, you will also harm Su Xiaowen and Shun Kang, as well as Bai Youling. Wu Zhizai, if you want to die, just wipe your neck with a knife, don't hurt anyone. ”
Wu Zhizai hurriedly said: "I'll just say it casually, I also know that this kind of thing can't succeed." My real thought was that if I could use Cheng Ting to find out where Blazing Yunjing was, then I might be able to rescue him. ”
"That's even more unlikely. In order to prevent someone from coming to the rescue of Blazing Yunjing, there will definitely be one or two masters around Blazing Yunjing to watch. If you follow my guess, the strength of the people around Blazing Yunjing must be at the level of Da Luo Heavenly Master or above. Didn't you plan to find out about Blazing Yunjing's current situation before you had this idea?"
Hearing An Youming say this, Wu Zhizai immediately jumped up and ran in the direction of Cheng Ting, and stopped just halfway through. He suddenly thought that if he let Cheng Ting know that he had such an idea, Cheng Ting would definitely laugh at him.
Since you can't ask Cheng Ting, then you can only ask Shunkang.
Wu Zhizai walked up to Shun Kang and asked, "Brother Shun, have you heard of the Sixth Prince's Blazing Yunjing?"
Shun Kang Dao: "Of course I've heard of it, the six princes almost grew up in the Nanzi Dynasty. ”
"Do you know where he lives?"
Conform to Kang Dao: "The Six Princes have been living in a remote place in the west of the capital, and there is a mansion there for the Six Princes. I heard that there are twenty or thirty maids and servants in the house, and there are two masters at the level of Da Luo Heavenly Master as his followers. Most of the lives of the six princes on weekdays are against some powerful children chanting poems, or attending some banquets or something, and their lives are very leisurely. ”
Wu Zhizai was a little surprised, "As a proton, is the living environment so good?"
Conform to Kang Dao: "This is the prince, so naturally he has to serve well." ”
Conform to Kang Hu looked at Wu Zhizai suspiciously, "Xiao Zai, aren't you playing any crooked ideas in your heart? Could it be that you want to save the six princes, and then atone for your sins and return to Yan'an City in the Qiyang Dynasty?"
