Chapter 1679: The situation is unfavorable
Song Chaoyi and I soon arrived at the detention room and saw Song Zixiong, the old guy was beaten badly, and when he saw me, he still couldn't hide the hatred in his eyes.
He hates me very much, I know, but I don't care, they targeted me when they were very powerful, but they didn't show mercy to my subordinates, and now that the situation is reversed, I naturally won't show mercy to my subordinates.
What I want is not to support Xu Maoshan as the master, but to completely collapse the Taiping Temple.
Although he hated me very much, Song Zixiong still bowed his head in front of me and took the initiative to greet me.
I saw that he was showing weakness, so I didn't want to make things difficult for him anymore, after all, I still wanted him to do something, so I immediately asked Song Chaoyi to relieve him of the handcuffs and shackles, and beckoned Song Zixiong to sit on the bed and talk.
I told Song Zixiong my purpose, and when Song Zixiong heard my words, he understood that Xu Maoshan had long colluded with me, and he was even more angry in his heart.
Why did Xu Maoshan betray the Taiping Temple and cooperate with the sworn enemy of the Taiping Temple?
Although he was angry, he could only do what I said unconditionally, and after being released, he actively moved in the Taiping Temple to support Xu Maoshan.
But Song Zixiong told me that although he could support Xu Maoshan, he could not guarantee whether he would succeed.
I said that as long as he fulfilled his promise, the rest of the matter had nothing to do with him at all, and at the same time, I also gave Song Zixiong a promise that after Xu Maoshan became the master of the Taiping Guanguan, he would be given the position of the master of Qinghe Guanguan.
Although the position of the Lord of Qinghe Guan is not as prominent as that of the Lord of Taiping Guanguan, after all, he is also the Lord of One View, and Qinghe Guan has always been very methodical in collecting money, and it is also hot, and everyone is red.
After explaining to Song Zixiong, I asked Song Chaoyi to bring paper and pen, and asked Song Zixiong to write a confession in person, sign it by hand, press the handprint with his own hands, and keep it in his hand as a handle, so as not to regret it after Song Zixiong went out.
I warned Song Zixiong that this confession was written by him, and as long as he dared to play tricks, I guaranteed that he would be ruined, and if he was obedient, the confession would be returned to him after the matter was completed.
Of course, this is also to fool him, such a handle, how can I easily hand it over to him, naturally I have to keep it in my hand until Song Zixiong has no use value.
I don't know if Song Zixiong believes my words or not, but it is certain that he has no other choice but to be my dog with peace of mind.
After Song Zixiong left, I made a few phone calls, one was to Xu Maoshan, telling him that Song Zixiong had compromised and would help him canvass for votes, and with the influence of Song Zixiong and the two of them, there should be hope to be elected, and also, after Xu Maoshan became the master of the Taiping Guanguan, the position of the master of Qinghe Guanguan would be handed over to Song Zixiong.
Xu Maoshan originally wanted to hand it over to his cronies' disciples, but now the situation is bad, the situation is different, and the Taiping Guan Guan is his biggest goal, and the Qinghe Guan Guan can also let it out, he said on the spot that there was no problem, and said with a smile: "It's still a good way for Brother Kun to get rid of my senior brother's old stubbornness so quickly, and it turns out that it is the wisest choice for me to cooperate with Brother Kun." ”
I smiled and said, "Needless to say, you should put more effort into the election." ”
Xu Maoshan said respectfully: "Yes, I understand." ”
After talking to Xu Maoshan on the phone, I made another call to the eldest prince to report the situation to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was also very happy to hear that I had made a breakthrough, and praised me on the spot, saying that he hoped that I could succeed and control the Taiping Temple.
If I control both the Taiping Temple and the Shenwei Camp, then my power will increase to a higher level, and I can even make up for the slight gap between me and Ji Shaojun.
The Shenwei Battalion and the Zhongjing Praetorian Guard cannot say who is stronger and who is weak, the Shenwei Battalion is stronger alone, but the Zhongjing Praetorian Guard is superior in numbers.
But in all fairness, if I were to lead the Shenwei Battalion and the Zhongjing Janissaries to fight, I wouldn't have much confidence.
First, I have no experience in leading troops in battle, let alone military command.
Second, the Zhongjing Praetorian Guard is already strong, and it looks down on Zhongjing.
……
After Song Zixiong compromised with me, he didn't dare to play tricks, and after he returned, he secretly gathered his disciples and announced that he would abandon the election and support Xu Maoshan instead.
His disciples were quite excited to see Song Zixiong come back, thinking that Song Zixiong would come back and see the hope of their faction mastering the Taiping Concept, but they didn't expect that after Song Zixiong came back, he would personally announce that he would support Xu Maoshan, which was a little unexpected.
In the face of the disciples' questions, Song Zixiong also had some words, he said: "I understand everyone's feelings, but this time I was too miserable by Mo Xiaokun's mongrel, and I was detained at a critical moment, and I missed the opportunity, so we can only retreat to the second, and it is not bad to take a Qinghe Guanguan." ”
When the disciples heard Song Zixiong's words, although they still felt dissatisfied, they also felt that Song Zixiong's consideration was reasonable.
Now Liu Yihang's voice in the Taiping Temple is the highest, once he is elected, then Song Zixiong's department will definitely be suppressed, and at this time, it has undoubtedly become the best choice to stay warm with Xu Maoshan.
And they have long heard that the oil and water in Qingheguan is not less than that of Taipingguan, so it is also good over there.
With the support of his disciples, Song Zixiong had confidence.
But in fact, the situation is still full of unknowns, and there are many people who support Liu Yihang now, and no one knows the result until the end.
Because I was concerned about who would end up in the Taiping Temple, I made a temporary decision to take a few people to become Xu Maoshan's disciples on the day of the Taiping Temple election, and go to the Taiping Temple with Xu Maoshan to act at the opportunity.
Qingheguan is a branch of the Taiping Temple, and there are many disciples, so if you become a disciple of Xu Maoshan, as long as you pay a little more attention, the possibility of being discovered is extremely small.
……
In a blink of an eye, the day of the Taipingguan election came, and the eldest prince called me early and asked me if I was sure about today's Taipingguan election.
I told the eldest prince about the situation, and I didn't dare to guarantee that I would succeed, but I promised the eldest prince that I would do my best.
The eldest prince said: "Regardless of whether it can succeed in the end, at least it can't let the fourth child master the Taiping Concept, understand?" ”
In fact, these words don't mean much, we fail, which means that Liu Yihang is elected, and it is a sure thing that Taiping Temple will fall into the hands of Murong Siqi.
I said, "I understand, the Great Prince. ”
After talking to the eldest prince on the phone, I changed into the Taoist clothes of the ordinary disciples of Qingheguan that Xu Maoshan had prepared for me in advance, followed out of the palace, met with Shi Zhao, Da Niu and others, and went to Qingheguan to meet Xu Maoshan and go to Taipingguan.
Shi Zhao, Da Niu and others also changed into the clothes prepared by Xu Maoshan, and prepared to blend in with me into the group of disciples of Qingheguan, and accompanied Xu Maoshan to Taipingguan.
In addition to changing into Taoist clothes, we also made other costumes, after all, if Xu Maoshan's disciples recognized me, they might have opinions.
After all, most of the reason why Taipingguan has become what it is now is because of me.
The death of the master of the Taiping Temple is definitely a fatal blow to the Taiping Temple.
If the Lord of the Taiping Temple had not died, I would never have dared to deal with the Taiping Temple like this.
After arriving at Qingheguan and meeting Xu Maoshan, Xu Maoshan first withdrew his disciples and communicated with me alone for a while.
Today, he is going to officially vote on who is the new viewer, and Xu Maoshan is inevitably a little nervous.
He frowned and said to me: "Brother Kun, according to the news I received, Liu Yihang's support rate is very high now, and I am only afraid of risks today." ”
I saw that Xu Maoshan was so unconfident, and I was also worried in my heart, and frowned: "Song Zixiong supports you, and there is not much chance of winning?" ”
Xu Maoshan said: "It's hard to say. ”
I patted Xu Maoshan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much, maybe the situation is better than you think." ”
Xu Maoshan said: "I hope so, but it's a pity that Liu Yihang is too insidious and disqualified me from voting for Qingheguan in advance, otherwise I will be sure of nine out of ten in this election." ”
I laughed and said, "You have to think about it from a different angle, if the opponent is not strong enough, what's the point?" ”
After communicating with Xu Maoshan for a while, there was a knock on the door outside, and a disciple of Qingheguan immediately walked in and said, "Master, the time is almost up, we should go." ”
Xu Maoshan nodded and said, "You go out first, and I'll come out immediately." ”
The Qingheguan disciple agreed and withdrew.
Xu Maoshan looked at me and said, "Brother Kun, let's go too." ”
I nodded and hummed, and went out of Qinghe Temple with Xu Maoshan and headed for Taiping Temple together.
