Chapter 126: Trying to Cover Up
The old man with white hair and a cane on the dragon's head was solemn at this time. And the person opposite him was holding a glass jade cup, savoring the crystal sweetness. The clouds on his face were light and breezy, and there was no panic at all.
"He's back." The old man slammed the dragon's head on crutches, and his words were clearly full of anxiety. And the middle-aged man with the tea cup said slowly, "It's done"
"According to the spies, they didn't succeed. And the two little ladies of Yichu are chasing after each other. The old man's hands were dry in the ravines, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the dragon head crutches under his palm.
It was a middle-aged man who was light and breezy, and when he heard the word "Yichu", he gently put down the tea cup in his hand and stood with his hands in his hands. "Xiang Qian is aware of it"
The old man subconsciously turned the blood jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand, and said in a low voice, "The spies I sent came to report yesterday, and there was no abnormal movement, as if they were waiting for an opportunity. ”
"Oh, how do you say this" The middle-aged man had some doubts, walked to the table and sat down, looking at the clear tea.
The old man seemed to have made up a lot of determination, and said word by word, "Yunlan is dead." ”
With a "snap", the glass jade cup fell to the ground and shattered. And the tea gradually flowed to the ground and slowly flowed to the feet of the two people. It's just that the two of them have their own thoughts at this time, but no one notices it.
The middle-aged man got up angrily, a little excited, and he was no longer as light as he was just now. On the contrary, the old man had stabilized his mind, and said with relief, "Since this is the case, there is no need to hide it." ”
"Can you know who did it" The middle-aged man seemed unwilling, but asked a little helplessly.
"I don't know at this time, but no more than four people shot." The old man pondered for a moment and said firmly. The middle-aged man forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a little inquiry, "Liu Qingmei is still Nalan"
The old man stroked his beard, and his words were full of cruelty, "I'm afraid I have to add Luo Xiu." ”
"Who is this person" The middle-aged man seemed to be a little unfamiliar with this name, so he couldn't help but ask more.
"The killer who has been famous for many years in Lonely Whistling Heights, martial arts are not under you and me. It's just been dormant for many years, and recently I know that this person has come to the capital, or has made a move. The old man's words were full of resentment.
"Do you think this person is here to join forces with Hades Venerable and want to kill you" Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, the old man interrupted, "Under the nest, there are eggs." This truth, the prince will not understand. The threat between the words gradually rose to the dust.
The middle-aged man was the prince of the Later Tang Kingdom, and the one who conspired with him was the old man behind the helm of the penny village.
It's just that the old man who is already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and can't protect himself, I don't know when he got on the "big boat" of the prince of the Later Tang Dynasty and helped each other in the same boat. And Yunlan, who has been working hard for him, has become an outcast in the mouths of the two at this time.
And from the words of the two, it can be clearly inferred that Xiang Qian, the envoy of Yichu, has been under the supervision of the two, but he doesn't know about the conspiracy, but if the things that Gu Xing saw that day are like this, then the Later Tang Dynasty, and even the entire Jiuyuan, will be chaotic.
Ge Lao hadn't been back to the penny village for a long time, and he was worried that the Immortal Venerable would come to the door to find bad luck, or that Mingyue Tower would secretly make a stumbling block. When Yunlan was desperately trying to survive, he quietly hid in the Houtang Prince's Mansion.
Ge Lao already has a lot of connections in the capital, but how can he beat the business behind his back. Over the years, the prince of the Later Tang Dynasty has been extravagant and wasteful on the surface, and has spent extravagantly. In fact, he recruited troops behind his back, and wanted to be ashamed of seizing the throne back then.
And the envoy of Yichu chose to come to court at this juncture, he must know some secrets. After that, Zhou is about to move, and the lord of the country may not have time to take care of him. Then the forces buried in the shadows by Tang Wangye were strong and strong.
Rao is Mingyuelou is sideways, I'm afraid I can't help it.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Hou Tang's mouth, staring at Ge Lao's face, and he didn't say a word for a long time. This old fox is so tough at this time, but relying on the "penny village" behind him, if he can gain power one day, he will definitely be the first to kill this person and vent his hatred.
It's just that what I think in my heart is not what I say, "Ge Lao is too worried, we are already in the same boat, how can we say that we will finish the nest." The most important thing at the moment is to find the secret of this world. ”
Ge Lao is a person, how can he not know the prince's thoughts, but if he tears his face at this time, it will be a lose-lose situation. can only borrow the slope to get off the donkey," the prince said very much. I'll let you know tomorrow when there's news. If nothing else, he will retire in the future. ”
After finishing speaking, he was about to get up and say goodbye, and then Tang Wang Ye did not stop him, but said gently, "Ge Lao pay attention to his body, he is old, and he has to work hard, be careful"
Old Ge interrupted, "Thank you for your concern, I will definitely pay more attention to it in the future." For a moment, the smell of fire and smoke in the words of the two people permeated.
At this time, a person hurried over, and when he saw that Ge Lao was present, he kept silent. Seeing this, Ge Lao clenched his fists and said goodbye, turned around and left. When Ge Lao walked away, the prince stepped on the broken tea cup with one foot, gritted his teeth and said, "This old man is too deceitful. ”
And the attendant who came to report didn't know whether to speak or not at this time, so he could only be stunned on the spot, with a tangled look on his face.
After the prince finished venting, he waved his hand and said, "What's the matter, talk slowly." "Lord Qiqi, the lord of the country has an invitation, saying that there is something important to discuss, so let you go quickly." The servant replied loudly with his fists clenched.
The prince frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he waved his hand to rebuke the servants, and muttered in his mouth, "I don't know what kind of crooked idea this Li Cunqiao has."
At this time, on a couch in the inner palace of the capital, the lord of the country, Li Cunqiao, was untidy and his hair was scattered. At this time, I was already a little haggard. And in the main hall under the bed, there was a man in white, standing with his hands in his hands.
And the chief eunuch on the side put his hands on his sleeves. Although his face was invisible, the anxiety in his heart was already revealed. For many years, he had never seen the lord of the country so haggard, and the lord of the country, who had always been strategic, had lost his temper since then.
The three of them formed a corner, but one was light and light, one was disheveled, and the other was anxious.
At this time, the lord of the country who was lying on the couch on his side snorted, and his tone was a little displeased, "Nalan, I let you here, if you have any good plans, you will say them all, don't say a word there." ”
Nalan seemed to come to his senses, and said gently, "I don't know what the lord of the country said, but the chaotic soldiers are brave."
The lord tugged at his shirt, stroked his loose hair to the back of his head, and snorted softly. Nalan then said, "Such a trivial matter, why worry about it, just send troops to suppress it." ”
The lord of the kingdom was about to speak, when a deacon and eunuch preached, "The prince has arrived." ”
It was Nalan, who was standing in the center of the inner sanctum, and slowly walked to the side at this time. And the chief eunuch Wang Itch walked to the king's couch and said "Xuan" in a sharp voice
A middle-aged man, somewhat obese, walked slowly into the inner sanctum. From the moment he stepped in, he counted his steps, and after walking no more than eighteen steps, he knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Weichen Li Yanyun knocks on the lord of the country." ”
The man on the couch waved his sleeves. The chief eunuch on the side, Wang Qi, said, "Get up." The obese middle-aged man stood up very comically and bowed his hand.
The fat middle-aged man couldn't help but have some doubts when he saw that the owner of Mingyue was also there, but he didn't say anything, just hugged his fists and said loudly, "I don't know what the lord of the country is calling Weichen, what is the so-called matter"
"I don't know if my brother knows that Longshou County is in chaos" Although the surface is light and light, the temptation in the words is no more obvious.
The fat middle-aged man just lowered his head and looked at his shoe, as if there was an answer on it. After a while, he said, "Yes." He knew that if he didn't know, he might be guilty of deceiving the king in the next moment, so he thought about it again and again, but he still answered truthfully.
The lord of the country frowned slightly, and his eyes were playful. After a test just now, the owner of Mingyue Mansion did not leak. Although it cannot be asserted that he did this, it is impossible to get rid of it.
And his own brother, if it weren't for his father's great achievements in his war, I'm afraid that the person sitting here would be him. Although the resentment in my heart is difficult to eliminate, it has been many years, and many things are still hidden in my heart.
The lord of the country, Li Cunmiao, got up suddenly, and Wang You, the chief eunuch on the side, wanted to step forward to help, but was pushed away. Suddenly, a momentum of dominating the world poured out, and Nalan, who was originally out of the way, also frowned slightly.
This is the spirit of the emperor
And the people of His Highness did not move at all, just waiting for the temptation of the people of the Palace. "Then what is the countermeasure?" said the lord of the country, Li Cunmiao, lightly.
And the person of His Highness was obviously a little uneasy. Because if he never sat on it for a day, he would be a monarch for a day, and Li Cunqiao could kill him at any time. If you are disrespectful or annoyed by him, I am afraid that your end will not be very good.
And there is another person, on the sidelines, eyeing the tiger.
The prince Li Yanyun raised his head slightly, but he didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the people in the palace, but with extremely good respect, he said loudly, "The matter of a county should not be underestimated. If it is not handled properly, the consequences are endless. Weichen thought that he could send troops to suppress it, and he had already demonstrated his national prestige. ”
And it was exactly the same. There was a hint of cunning in Li Cunqing's eyes, and both of them seemed to have problems.
Although he got the same answer, Li Cunyun was not angry, but followed the temptation, "If you send troops to go, you two think, who is the most suitable" Nalan did not speak, and Li Yanyun clenched his fists and said loudly, "The lord of the country, Weichen thinks that Gao Chengying, the commander of the forbidden army, is up to the task." ”
Li Cunmiao's eyes were slight, his lips were closed, and he couldn't see the slightest depth in his deep eyes. Seeing this, Nalan walked up to Li Yanyun's side, clasped his fists and said, "In the next opinion, the prince can be up to this great task." ”
The lord of the country, Li Cunmiao, was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, just nodded to the chief eunuch Wang Qi, and then turned around and walked behind the couch.
The chief eunuch Wang Qi has been by the king's side for many years, and he has long understood it. Then he said loudly, "The lord of the country is a little tired, the two of them kneel down, and other matters will be discussed later." After speaking, he closed his hands and waist again, and his face was calm.
The two of them clasped their fists and saluted, then slowly retreated to the front of the palace, and then turned and strode out. It's just that I walked extremely carefully along the way, and I didn't dare to make the slightest sound.
And the chief eunuch Wang Itch, who was lying on the couch, whispered to himself, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger." ”
