Chapter 10 Surveillance
That night, Gong Qianbai moved to the iron pot. It is said to be moving, but in fact, it is a thin quilt, and there is nothing else.
Tieguo and Gong Qianbai can talk very well, the two have some similar personalities, they are both bold and delicate with some finesse, and they are about the same age, so in just one afternoon, they have become good friends who talk about everything.
"Didn't you say Duxiufeng was fun? Can you go that night? ”
The iron pot began to pester Gong Qianbai at night to visit Duxiu Peak, because Gong Qianbai's description aroused his great curiosity, and he didn't want to wait until tomorrow.
Gong Qianbai only hesitated for a moment and agreed, he had been doing the night tour of Duxiu Peak for a month, and he was very familiar, so naturally there was no problem. And his hesitation is just a small trick, which can make the iron pot feel more hard-won.
Duxiu Peak was relatively cold at night, Gong Qianbai secretly carried a quilt up the mountain, and the iron pot laughed at him all the way, but when the two of them sat on the top of Duxiu Peak, the iron pot began to praise Gong Qianbai's wisdom again and again.
"Guangji, how do you feel that the moon here is different from the one in the north?"
The two men were shoulder to shoulder, draped the quilt over their backs, and looked at the moon in the sky with their heads exposed.
For the question of iron rods, asking people in this era may have a more answer, but for Gong Qianbai, it is very simple.
"Do you think the position of the moon is different? That's right! The position of the moon itself remains the same, but because this is the south, the distance is nearly 10,000 miles, and it is because our position has changed, so I feel that the position of the moon has changed. Just like this tree, if you stand here, then the tree is on your right, but if you are standing there, the tree is on your left, and the tree itself doesn't move, it's just that you move! ”
The iron pot looked at Gong Qianbai blankly, and it took a long time before swallowing a mouthful of saliva and giving Gong Qianbai a thumbs up: "Cow!" I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable and understand so many truths! ”
Gong Qianbai smiled modestly: "It's just that each of us cares about different things!" Your Highness is actually very smart and motivated, but he acts like another person, because he doesn't dare to be too good, someone is staring at you? ”
In the darkness, there was a hint of panic in the eyes of the iron pot, and he calmed down. After thinking about it, he said: "You guessed very right, and you saw it accurately, but I still hope you can keep it a secret for me, there are indeed people staring at me." ”
"I see!" Gong Qianbai suddenly realized, "In the future, I will cooperate with His Highness to help His Highness be safe and sound and ascend the throne smoothly!" ”
The iron pot was silent, and after a long time, he emotionally grabbed Gong Qianbai's hand and said: "If there is really such a day, as long as you are willing to return to the vulgar, I will definitely give you a big official to do!" ”
Gong Qianbai was also very excited, and his hands clenched the iron pot: "As long as Master agrees, I will definitely be His Highness's best helper!" ”
The iron pot also held the other hand, and his eyes showed a look of yearning, and as long as someone was willing to help him, he would charge towards that position. Timur was not afraid of anyone, for there was nothing in the world to be afraid of.
The moon in the sky seemed to be closer, and the Duxiu Peak below the ass seemed to be much higher.
However, what they didn't know was that on the big tree behind them, a black shadow showed a mocking expression, opened its arms and turned into a pair of wings, jumped into the sky and turned into a goshawk, leaving Duxiu Peak and flying out.
Outside the Great Circle Temple, a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.
The original owner of the courtyard was an old man who lived alone, with a withdrawn personality and rarely went out. I heard that his son and daughter-in-law were doing business outside, and the relationship with the old man was not very good, and they rarely came home to visit him.
So when the old man's body was lying in the courtyard with blood, naturally no one knew, and no one would know about it in the short term.
There are a total of 4 people in the small courtyard, led by a Sinicized Liao person, dressed in Mongolian dress, thin, forty or fifty years old, with a small mustache, looking polite, but the ruthlessness in the eyes will make people can't help but be afraid.
There are also two people who are also Liao, also dressed as Mongolians, but they are burly and tall, with a big knife on their backs, and they are also much younger, one left and one right follow behind the Liao man at the head, and their whole body is full of steaming war intent.
At this time, the eagle demon who was listening to Gong Qianbai and the iron pot talking on Duxiu Peak had re-manifested into a human form and turned into a middle-aged man dressed in black.
The eagle demon had just finished reporting to the thin man about Duxiu Feng's investigation, and was standing with his head down, respectfully waiting for the thin man's instructions.
"It seems that this iron pot has not given up the battle for the throne, but after all, he is young, and he trusts a little monk who is eight or nine years old, which really disappoints Xiangye."
The thin man spoke in a grim tone and his voice was a little hoarse, like a demon in the night, waiting for his prey with his fangs open.
But he actually knew that it was hidden, and for a 12-year-old boy, he was more scheming than his peers. What Xiangye wants is a person who can contain the power of Tutimur's family for him, and the first thing he needs is this scheming. Yu Yu, don't stop him from developing his own power, the greater his power, the greater his ability to contain Tutimur, and if necessary, we even have to help him to remove some resistance for him. What was the name of the centurion who escorted him to Gui County? ”
Eagle Demon Youyu replied respectfully: "Mr. Qiyu, his name is Hulu, and he is Tutimur's confidant, and Tutimur trusts him very much. ”
"Hmmm! If necessary, you can create some accidents without hurting his life, but if he can't get out, it's best to be bedridden, so that the iron pot has a chance to develop forces to rebel against his own uncle! ”
Tutimur is the current emperor Yuan Wenzong, and he is the uncle of the iron pot. It is rumored that Tutimur poisoned his own brother, that is, Yuan Mingzong, the father of the iron pot, and then seized the throne. In order to avoid future troubles, Tutimur exiled his nephew to Daqingcheng of Goguryeo, and later heard that some Mongolian kings colluded with Goguryeo to conspire to set up an iron pot as the emperor, so Tutimur was afraid that the iron pot would be exiled to Guangxi farther away, and even declared that the iron pot was not the flesh and blood of his own brother Yuan Mingzong.
In addition to attacking his nephew on the surface, Tutimur secretly sent many people to cause an accident to kill the iron pot, but every time the iron pot was turned into a disaster, the angry Yuan Wenzong changed several groups of people to carry out the task. The centurion Hulu who escorted the iron pot this time was a capable man, but also a ruthless man, who had helped Tutimur to make a lot of indescribable contributions, and its meaning was clearly revealed.
After the eagle demon feather flew away, the thin man's face immediately changed again.
His name is Yelu Dayan, after the royal family of Liao, not only knowledgeable, but also far more intelligent than ordinary people, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty Yan Timur trusted him very much, and often let him lead some confidential events, and he was also taking the opportunity to use Yan Timur's power to mess up the internal affairs of the Yuan Dynasty and prepare for the recovery of the Great Liao.
The two young men behind Yelu Dayan, one is called Yelu Zhongcheng, who is extremely brave, and is now the seventh in the internal force stage, and is a famous master among the descendants of the royal family of the Liao State; The other is called Yelu Zhongyun, who is both wise and brave, and has also reached the fifth level of the internal force stage. They were the men of the family who had been sent to protect Jeroddayan.
Yelu Zhongyun saw that the eagle demon had flown away, and gently attached himself to Yelu Dayan's ear and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?" ”
Yelu Dayan looked at the direction where the eagle demon Youyu was far away, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, and when he heard Yelu Zhongyun's inquiry, he said to the two: "Tutimur won't live long, and there will be a civil strife in the Yuan Dynasty soon." But with Yan Timur present, it is very likely that this civil strife will be quelled as soon as it breaks out. What's even more troublesome is that several princes who are qualified to inherit the throne are relatively young and have no power to rely on, so no matter who succeeds to the throne, the power of the court will definitely be firmly held by Yan Timur, which will greatly affect our plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. On the one hand, we want Yan Timur to support Tutimur's eldest son Artenatara, and on the other hand, we need to support other forces, so that he can assist Tu Timur to go to the capital of Yuan to compete for the throne and compete with Yan Timur, so that this civil strife can be prolonged, and the Yuan Dynasty empire can be destroyed as soon as possible, and we can have a chance. ”
"Then which one should we support to compete with Yan Timur?"
Yerodayan pondered again for a long time, and then gave a name to the two of them:
"Boyan!"
……
The iron pot was still quite happy in the Dayuan Temple, because whether it was Elder Qiujiang or Gong Qianbai, they were all really helping him.
But after two days, it will be difficult to attract the iron pot inside the temple, because the iron pot can see the outside scenery from the top of Duxiu Peak.
"Guangji, help me think of a way, I'm going to play outside!"
The more you look at the iron pot, the more itchy it becomes, and Gong Qianbai four or five times in a morning.
Gong Qianbai's expression was quite helpless: "Now that snoring sent people to guard the gate of the Great Yuan Temple, if you want to break in, it is impossible, and it is even more difficult to sneak out, it's not that we are afraid of death, but I think he will be unfavorable to you, I found that there is a trace of murderous intent in his eyes when he looks at you, you must be careful!" ”
"Of course I know that Tutimur has already done it to me more than once." The iron pot's eyes were complicated, with hatred and fear, and a hint of stubbornness and unyielding, "But what can I do, Tutimur does not allow me to have a guard, and I am just a child!" ”
Gong Qianbai comforted him and said, "Don't worry, we have to think long-term." I will also step up my cultivation, at least to protect your safety! It's just that I was seriously injured a few days ago, and I haven't fully recovered, if you let me go for a few days, I will definitely think of a way to let you travel unhindered in Guangxi! ”
"Hmm!" The iron pot was quite moved, "Although you are a monk, I regard you as my answer, and we will never lose each other!" ”
"Never lose!"
