Chapter 168: The Battle of the Heavens (1)
No matter how smart or cunning a person is, no matter how many years he has been preparing and how powerful he is, he would never have expected that in another two years, the Northern Song Dynasty would come to an end, and all his plans would come to naught. This is why, in the end, Liu Zhenglong chose to cooperate, this is the benefit of crossing rebirth, and this person will not have it.
That person was very satisfied with Liu Zhenglong's choice, he said with a smile, "I haven't slept all night, I guess you're tired, why don't you rest here." β
"No need, I'd better go back." Liu Zhenglong has the disease of being widowed, but he has not yet reached the point where he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, and he doesn't want to make mistakes in this regard.
The man smiled and said, "You won't refuse, because if you refuse her, you will definitely regret it, okay, let's not talk about it, you go to the third room on the left hand, if you refuse again after seeing her, I will never stop you." β
Cherish Yunyan, the moment he saw Xiyun Yan, Liu Zhenglong was stunned, he finally understood why the other party was willing to see him, it seemed that he had planned it well, but this point was calculated, which shows that this man has been paying attention to himself for a long time, and it is definitely not because of Master Li.
Xi Yunyan was not surprised to see Liu Zhenglong's appearance, she gently closed the door and said, "I'll serve the adults to bathe." β
"No, you can go back with me."
"Go back, where are you going, going to your house as a concubine?" Xi Yunyan is not willing to leave with Liu Zhenglong, this life is destined to see no light, what does it make if she is not a concubine, as long as she can be with her beloved man, it is enough, why care so much?
"No, follow me back to Que Yun Tower."
Liu Zhenglong didn't want to explain so much, so he took Xiyunyan's jade hand and began to walk out, because it was dark and under curfew, there was not even a figure on the street, the cold wind was blowing, and the thinly dressed Xiyunyan was shivering from the cold, this guy had to take off his coat and put it on the beauty.
Although the capital in December has not reached the point of dripping into ice, it is still a cold wind, and on such a night, this man gives his coat to himself, which makes Xi Yunyan very moved.
The guys in Que Yunlou didn't expect someone to knock on the door so early, and they didn't expect that the proprietor was coming, so they hurriedly opened the door at this time to welcome the proprietor in.
Xi Yunyan rested in Que Yunlou, but she didn't wait to look forward to the still stormy, because this man quietly left in her expectant eyes.
Leaving is indeed leaving, but not because Liu Zhenglong wants to pretend to be a restless Yanagi Hui, but because he feels the presence of the assassin, how can he stay in this situation?
Assassin, this made Liu Zhenglong feel very surprised, how many people in the world dare to assassinate him, but he quickly guessed who it was, if he didn't guess wrong, it should be Fang La's prime minister Wang Yin, looking at the world, only this person can fight with him.
Yuwangtai, this battle is destined to take place in Yuwangtai.
Liu Zhenglong stopped at Yuwangtai, and he said with a smile, "Prime Minister Wang, did you come to assassinate Liu, besides, are you confident that you can kill me?" β
"Lord Liu, why do you think Wang is here to kill you? Besides, since he decided to kill you, how could he not be fully prepared? β
Wang Yin walked out unhurriedly, followed by five men in black, who seemed to be first-class masters, no wonder, since he assassinated a top master like Liu Zhenglong, how could he act alone?
Liu Zhenglong doesn't like to go around in circles, he said with a smile, "It's an assassination, it's okay to find Liu if you have something, I'm an official, you're a thief, we're destined to have a war, although Liu didn't bring weapons, but I'm confident that I can still fight with you, as for your helper, hehe, Liu really didn't look at it." β
Wang Yin admired Liu Zhenglong's self-confidence very much, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry, when you face off, it's definitely one-on-one, but before you start, you do have something to talk about." β
"Listen up."
"You have looted the Divine Father's tens of millions of wealth, abducted the princess, and robbed the future crown princess, should you give the Holy Father an explanation?"
"If you want to explain, I'm afraid it shouldn't be now, it's definitely not that simple to find it today, don't go around in circles what you want." The only thing Liu Zhenglong is worried about now is the princess Fang Baihua, and now when he hears Wang Yin's tone, it seems that Fang Baihua is missing, how can he not worry in this situation? He said coldly, "What future crown princess, Fang La is just a bandit, how can his son's fiancΓ©e be considered the future crown princess?" Fang Baihua didn't go back, but she was still hidden by you. If she has any strengths and weaknesses, I will personally lead the army to kill you, and no one will be left. β
Liu Zhenglong's cold tone made people feel creepy and shudder, as if it was a soul-hooking sound from hell, and the five black-clothed masked people couldn't help but take several steps backwards when they heard it. Even Wang Yin, who had experienced strong winds and waves, couldn't help but gasp when he saw the murderous intent in Liu Zhenglong's eyes.
Obviously, it is not possible to have an explanation today, Wang Yin said helplessly, "Since the princess has disappeared since she met you, the Holy Father is also very worried, you can rest assured that no one will embarrass the princess." Yes, you really don't need to give an explanation to the Holy Father, and we don't expect you to give an explanation, so I came to you today to make a deal. β
"Deal? Don't you think it's ridiculous for a rebellious minister and a thief to negotiate a deal with an official of the imperial court? Liu Zhenglong didn't want to have anything to do with Fang La, which would cause the imperial historians to impeach, he said coldly, "Fang Baihua is my woman, so you'd better not easily challenge my bottom line on this issue." β
"Yes, it's just to trade with you." It's already this time, Wang Yin doesn't want to go around in circles, he said bluntly, "We are fighting against Tong Guan, and we are fighting very hard, and it is difficult to survive if we continue to fight like this." I hope you can show us the way. β
Absurd, the rebellious ministers and thieves were beaten by the officials and soldiers and could not survive, and they really wanted the court officials to point out a clear road, which made Liu Zhenglong feel very absurd, he said coldly, "Pointing to a clear road, do you mean to let the court recruit peace?" β
"Zhao'an is unrealistic, and from the day of the incident, the Holy Father has not thought about the problem of Zhao'an."
"Since it's not Zhao'an, how can this official show you a clear path?"
Wang Yin saw that Liu Zhenglong was pretending to be confused with his cleverness, so he said, "Let's put it bluntly, you find a way to let Tong Guan not kill us, and show everyone a clear way, we promise not to invade Hangzhou, but you have invested a lot of money in Hangzhou, once Hangzhou is occupied by us, I am afraid it will be a big loss for you." β
In fact, Wang Yin didn't say it, Liu Zhenglong could also guess some, Tong Guan led the army south, and it was difficult to resist with Fang La's strength, in this case, Wang Yin came to find him, and he should have come for this matter.
Obviously, Wang Yin grasped Liu Zhenglong's weakness, and he was not afraid that the other party would refuse, so he was not in a hurry.
Liu Zhenglong pondered for a while and then said, "Things are not as simple as you think, if Tong Guan is defeated in Jiangnan, then the next one to go on the expedition must be me, do you think I will be merciful?" β
"We have thought about such a problem, and we have never thought that it will last for a long time, before the Holy Father still had lofty ideals, but after the arrival of Tong Guan's Shengjie Army, the Holy Father understood that it was simply impossible to overthrow the imperial court. What we need now is a year or two for the Holy Father to complete the retreat and we go overseas, but the Shengjie army is pressing too hard, and there is no possibility of escaping at all. β
Fang La wanted to run, and when he heard this, Liu Zhenglong had an idea, and he said with a smile, "In a year or two, I can help you, but I can't do it if I don't attack Hangzhou." β
"Then what conditions do you want?" Seeing that the other party was loose, Wang Yin was much calmer, as long as he could talk, nothing was a problem, he smiled and said, "I hope you don't open your mouth, otherwise don't talk about it." β
"I'll talk about it if you win."
As soon as the words fell, Liu Zhenglong made a move, and this guy suddenly had two more daggers in his hand, one left and one right stabbed at Wang Yin.
The masked men were frightened by the sudden change, and one by one they had to take out their weapons and prepare to join the warband.
"When you go down the mountain, you are not allowed to come up." Wang Yin quickly reacted to what Liu Zhenglong meant, and while he took out the Qingling Sword to fight back, he asked his subordinates to hurry down the mountain.
The five masked men had no intention of descending the mountain, but instead prepared to join the warband. But at this time, dozens of guards appeared on the mountain, led by Wang Gui, the leader of the dragon scale group, who said coldly, "You'd better not join the battle group, otherwise you won't be killed." β
At this time, Wang Yin understood that Liu Zhenglong always had a shadow-like organization around him, no wonder he was fearless when he saw him. He said coldly, "If the five of you don't want to lose your soul Yu Wangtai, hurry up and let me have a fair competition with Liu Zhenglong." The battle between the two of us, whether we win or lose, you cannot interfere. Once I am defeated, you should hurry back to Jiangnan and tell the Holy Father about the situation here. β
The five masked men didn't want to go down the mountain, but in the face of the powerful dragon scale team, they really didn't want to send them to death. Originally, there was a secret mission to come to the capital this time, that is, to spy on Wang Yin, but now Wang Yin really wants to fight Liu Zhenglong alone, which makes them very difficult.
Liu Zhenglong saw that the masked man was unwilling to go down the mountain, so he said coldly, "I'll count dozens, if these guys don't go down the mountain, Wang Gui, you will carry out the killing order." β
"Yes." Wang Gui and the members of the dragon scale team behind him drew their weapons and waited for the master's order to execute the killing order.
Wang Yin didn't know that these five guys were spying on him, but if these five people were killed in the capital, then it would be difficult for him to go back to the holy bus, he looked at the masked man coldly and said, "Then do you really want to send them to death, why don't you get out of here." β
The masked men eventually stopped holding out under strong pressure and descended the mountain one by one.
After the masked man came down the mountain, Liu Zhenglong waved his hand to signal Wang Gui and others to go down the mountain, and he said, "As long as those people don't go up the mountain, don't kill people, after all, killing these people, it is not easy for Prime Minister Wang Cheng to go back." β
After the masked man came down the mountain, Wang Yin jumped out of the circle and stopped moving, he said coldly, "Those people are gone, if you have anything to say, just say it, there is no need to beat you to death." β
Liu Zhenglong no longer attacked, he said with a smile, "Fang La must die, this is the most wanted criminal in the imperial court, this is a fact that cannot be changed." But everyone else can survive, and even the army can be kept, but they will be suspended overseas, and no one will be allowed to come back without my orders. I will demarcate the area for you, and as a repayment, I will give you five million, and if the deal is made, it will be decided. β
"Then you'd better win and I'll talk about it!" Wang Yin didn't expect Liu Zhenglong's conditions to be so harsh, he made a killing move, and the Qingling Sword in his hand stabbed towards the other party's chest.
"Okay, then the winner is king, if I win, I will implement my plan, and if you win, I will do what you say."
Today's war, which can be said to be a shocking war, concerns the millions of people in the Jiangnan uprising, no one can afford to lose, and no one wants to lose.
Wang Yin knew that he couldn't defeat the imperial court, and according to Tong Guan's current style, once Fang La was defeated, the number of people slaughtered would definitely exceed one million, or even more. Comparatively speaking, Liu Zhenglong's conditions are not too harsh, but he doesn't want to turn his back on Fang La, so he would rather fight to solve all problems.
Liu Zhenglong didn't know that this was a strong man's difficulty, but he couldn't help this problem, he said helplessly, "Fang La has been proclaimed emperor, in this case, it is difficult to explain to the court if he does not die, Tong Guan can't do it, the court will send me south, at that time, not only Fang La will die, but it will also be difficult for others to survive." During the suppression of Tongguan in Jiangnan, it can be said that there was a river of blood and a mountain of corpses, should these people die because of Fang La's survival? I am not the savior, I am the official of the imperial court, Fang La will not die, and when the time comes, the head will fall to the ground, maybe it will be me, in this case, I will definitely not regret letting Fang La go, besides, I have already been called the emperor, suspended overseas, and seems to be floating, is this what Fang La has chosen to survive? β
"But, but, Fang La is my lord, and I can't be ungrateful."
Wang Yin didn't think about sacrificing Fang La alone in exchange for everyone's safety, but he was unwilling to do that, and he didn't dare to do that, but now that Liu Zhenglong brought it up, it was even more embarrassing.
Liu Zhenglong said with a smile, "You think too much, your five people were not sent by Fang La to help assassinate this official, but to spy on you." Fang La had already thought that there would be such a day when the incident happened, so he wouldn't be surprised, the problem was with you, you couldn't bear it, so I proposed a shocking battle, you can keep Fang La from dying if you win, he must die if you are defeated, don't worry, I will definitely not show mercy. β
