180. 179: Discuss countermeasures
After picking the last few herbs in a hurry, Tang Li hurried back to the ghost house and told them as much detail as possible about what he had encountered in the woods.
Baili Wuyang pinched the bridge of his nose a little tired after listening, originally planned to let Nangong Jue replace Nangong Ze as the emperor, and then open the ancient city of Yilan to take the dragon gentian, but now the situation has changed greatly, Nangong Jue and Nangong Ze have lost their news, and even the people in the capital have begun to look for Nangong Ze, presumably it is because the early dynasty has caused chaos for many days.
Nangong Heng listened to Tang Li and Baili Wuyang's words, and was a little anxious, although no one in the entire Nangong family knew him at all from childhood to adulthood, and no one cared about him, but after all, the current world was laid down by his ancestors, and now the dragons have no leader, and it is likely to be occupied by others taking the opportunity, telling him how not to worry, to be anxious, but he doesn't know how to be good, he can only pin his hopes on Baili Wuyang, because Nangong Jue trusted Baili Wuyang so much when he was still there, there must be a reason.
"So what do we do now?" Nangong Heng couldn't help but ask.
Baili Wuyang's cold face was full of tiredness at this time, this time was really enough for him, Nangong Jue's guy walked away by himself, leaving a bunch of things for him to solve, looking at Nangong Heng's similar face to Nangong Jue, Baili Wuyang's heart suddenly moved, and he squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Or, you will be the emperor?" ”
"What?" Several other people couldn't help but exclaim, in unison, even Nangong Heng himself was dumbfounded, he was just an abandoned prince who had never been recognized, how could he be the emperor?
Baili Wuyang thought about the plan roughly in his heart, and felt that this method seemed to be the only way to work at the moment, if he let the world be in chaos, and then let others take advantage of the situation to seize the throne, then there would be no way for him to retreat, although for the time being, it can be thought that the thousand-year-old python can cure his strange appearance, but in case the ancient book is wrong, and the ancient city of Yilan can't be opened, wouldn't he have to live with this strange appearance for the rest of his life?
"No one will admit me." Nangong Heng said with a wry smile, how can you admit it? No one has ever seen him at all, and his father has never talked about him to the world, he is like an invisible person, no one can see him, and now he suddenly comes out and says that he is actually the prince of Nangong, I am afraid that everyone will only say that he is crazy.
Tang Li listened to Baili Wuyang's words, she was surprised at first, but then she also felt that it was feasible like Baili Wuyang, if she didn't act now, even if Nangong Jue came back in the future, the world would have changed her name and surname, if Nangong Heng sat on the throne, at least it would not pose a threat to them in the future, she winked at Nangong Heng slyly: "Have you forgotten that Shuofeng is still with us?" "Shuo Feng is Nangong Ze's well-known confidant, and his prestige in the court is also quite high, with his help, plus Mama Zhang's proof, then Nangong Heng's identity credibility has increased by half.
"Nangong Heng, don't hesitate, think about it, if someone else really becomes the emperor at that time, then he will definitely find a way to vigorously hunt down the missing Nangong Jue and Nangong Ze, Nangong Ze and I will live and die with him, do you want your imperial brother Nangong Jue to be chased and killed by someone? And if you are the emperor, we can mobilize a lot of forces to find Nangong Jue, right? Tang Li saw that Nangong Heng seemed to be still hesitating, knowing that he was timid, Nangong Heng was different from Nangong Ze's viciousness and sophistication, and also different from Nangong Jue's calm and smart, he had almost never seen the world since he was a child, and he had been waiting for death with an old grandmother in the cold palace, his mind was not stable enough, nor was he enough to withstand the wind and rain, but Tang Li had to let him mature, for the world of the Nangong family, and for Nangong Jue.
Nangong Heng's eyes swayed, it was not that he didn't want to do it, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it, he didn't think that he had the ability to be ruthless like Nangong Ze, and he didn't have the courage to confront Nangong Ze like Nangong Jue, he ...... He was actually really cowardly, but what Tang Li said was reasonable, which made him in a dilemma at this time.
"Hey, Baili Wuyang, don't you have that Gu worm? You can also feed one to Shuo Feng to eat, he has been with Nangong Ze for so long, and he probably knows a lot more about the things in the palace than you and me, so let him assist Nangong Heng should be able to get twice the result with half the effort. "Tang Li came up with another idea, didn't Baili Wuyang feed himself Gu worms? Even allies can be fed, so feeding a Shuofeng is a piece of cake as a matter of course!
Baili Wuyang looked at Nangong Heng, he was waiting for Nangong Heng's answer, until Nangong Heng nodded heavily and agreed, then he showed a smile: "No problem." ”
Looking at Nangong Heng, who had a bad face, Ah Liu comforted: "Nangong Heng, you have to believe that Miss Nu Wuyang Gongzi, they will all help you." “
Nangong Heng nodded, of course he knew that Tang Li would help him, but he was afraid that he would disappoint them when the time came, so he was so embarrassed.
Baili Wuyang went to the dark room, since that day Tang Li talked to Shuo Feng, Shuo Feng has never seen anyone other than the food delivery maid, all day long in the dim dark room, at this time, the appearance of Baili Wuyang made him a little distracted. He looked at the man in front of him whose hair was slowly turning gray, and by opening the door, he could see that it was slowly getting dark outside.
"I heard that you have been with Nangong Ze for a long time, right?" Baili Wuyang asked in a light tone, there was no harshness or oppression, as if it was a family affair between friends, Shuo Feng nodded weakly: "Why do you also come to ask me these questions?" Miss Tang has already asked. ”
Baili Wuyang smiled, stretched out his hand to pull up a touch of white hair hanging down on his chest, tsk, white again, and said, "Of course I know, I came to you today to tell you something, about Nangong Ze." ”
"What's the matter?" Shuo Feng looked at Baili Wuyang and asked.
"Nangong Ze has lost his trace, now there is no emperor in the capital, and there is no prince, it has become a pot of porridge, and even General Yang Enlargement, who is guarding the border pass, has returned to Beijing to join the team looking for Nangong Ze.
Your Majesty, has he really been without news? Shuo Feng's eyebrows and eyes were a little sad, although Nangong Ze was usually fierce and irritable, but it must not be the reason for Shuo Feng to betray him, it was the darkness of the palace that forced the once gentle young man to be like that, Shuo Feng, who became the prince's secret guard at that time, the first lesson he learned during training was loyalty.
After Shuo Feng was silent for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to say, just say it." ”
"I want you to help someone ascend to the throne!" Baili Wuyang no longer beat around the bush, his eyes staring at Shuofeng.
"What?" Shuo Feng's face turned pale: "Impossible!" It's impossible for me to help anyone plunder the world of the Nangong family! ”
Baili Wuyang said slowly: "What if that person is also from the Nangong family?" ”
"How is it possible, could it be that Nangong Jue is back......" Shuo Feng muttered, refusing to believe Baili Wuyang's words, Nangong Ze's injury was not as serious as Nangong Jue's return, Nangong Jue was fatally injured, how could he come back! The corners of Baili Wuyang's mouth hooked an arc to answer Shuo Feng's doubts: "Back then, there was another prince who grew up in the cold palace, and no one knew that his name was Nangong Heng." Oh yes, didn't you intercept Tang Li and them halfway? That man who looks similar to Nangong Ze, haven't you noticed? ”
Indeed, on the way to the ghost house with Tang Li and his entourage, Nangong Ze took Shuo Feng to ambush in Qingfeng Town, when a man sat in a carriage, and his eyebrows and eyes were particularly similar to Nangong Ze, but Tang Li said at that time that the man was just a cripple she picked up halfway, could it be him?
"That's probably it, either you assist Nangong Heng to stabilize the court, or, just wait for the change of dynasty, you have followed Nangong Ze for so long, can you be regarded as making a lot of efforts for this day, are you sure you are willing?" After Baili Wuyang finished speaking, Shuofeng's face really changed, of course he was unwilling, from the guard to the secret guard, to the commander, he has experienced so many things, if the country changes hands, he will no longer be anything, but if he agrees to Baili Wuyang, he can still assist the current emperor, but the emperor is no longer Nangong Ze.
"I ...... I promise, but, can you trust me? Shuo Feng replied with difficulty and asked.
"Of course I can't believe it." Baili Wuyang clamped Shuo Feng's jaw with one hand, and smiled coldly: "In order to trust you, you just took this pill, okay?" After that, he took out a black pill with his other hand and stuffed it neatly into Shuofeng's mouth, this is not a real pill, this is another kind of Gu worm, which is more powerful than Tang Li's kind of Gu worm, as long as he finds that Shuofeng is the slightest bit wrong, Baili Wuyang can guarantee that he will die a miserable death.
Shuo Feng felt the pill slip into his throat, and he asked in horror, "What is this?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of an auxiliary thing to ensure your loyalty, as long as you listen to me well, that medicine is not dangerous to you, of course, if it is the opposite, then you can refer to the carrion corpses you saw in the courtyard again." Baili Wuyang looked at Shuofeng's increasingly pale face, and continued: "Okay, since we are now in the same boat, there is no need to continue to trap you. Saying that, Baili Wuyang opened the chain with the key, Shuofeng collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, he was numb, and Baili Wuyang waited until he could stand up, and took him out of the dark room.
At this time, Tang Li and they were already preparing meals in the side hall, and when Baili Wuyang appeared with an embarrassed Shuofeng, everyone's reactions were different, Tang Li felt sympathy, this Shuofeng was foolish and loyal, and his mind was not very bad, but he did a lot of bad things for Nangong Ze, and he also saved Tang Li, alas...... Nangong Heng was a little frightened, was this the henchman next to the irascible and vicious imperial brother? He had only seen it once on the way to the haunted house a few days ago, and now when he looked closely, he was very embarrassed. And Amu, who was already barely able to get up to eat, couldn't tell clearly when he looked at Shuofeng's eyes, familiarity, resentment, indifference, couldn't tell, they used to be trained together, and they used to be good brothers, but then they followed different masters, took different paths, and became mortal enemies, but Shuofeng couldn't recognize Amu anymore, only a sense of familiarity.
