Chapter 131: War is on the verge of breaking out
The person who came gave him a brocade box and left, Qiao Anping was still immersed in the conversation just now, chewing on the meaning of his words repeatedly.
It seems that this time seems to be a good opportunity, but after more than half a year of understanding, how ruthless her heart is, how ruthless she is, he couldn't be clearer. No matter how grateful she is, she will not waver in her thoughts, the so-called opportunity is just self-deception.
And what he is doing now is nothing more than because of obsession, because he is unwilling, even if the hope is very slim, he still wants to give it a try. Just like knowing that he can't catch a fish by smashing silver into the water, he is willing to smash it, and it is good to see a splash of waves and startle the fish.
It wasn't until the tea was cold that he realized that after sitting for a long time, it was time for him to go back, even though she wouldn't run around anymore now.
"Qiao Anping!"
As soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped, and the owner of the voice was not too familiar to him. Looking for prestige, he smiled and said, "Jin Hongwen, why are you here?" β
Jin Hongwen took Lan Xuyao and the others to take a few steps forward: "We came to you on purpose, find a place to sit?" β
"Where to go, you say." knew that he couldn't shirk it, and Qiao Anping didn't resist.
"Of course it's Yuejiang Tower!" Luo Hengyuan said with a smile.
Qiao Anping took a sip of the teacup: "The fragrance is overflowing, restrained and unassuming, the soup is clear and bright, the entrance is slightly bitter, rich and sweet, fresh and fresh, and the aftertaste is long." Lan Xuyao, your vision for choosing tea has always been so good, and this Dongting Biluochun in Yuzhou Mansion can be called a high-quality product. β
Lan Xuyao said with a smile: "Qiao Anping, it seems that your taste for tea has not changed." β
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Qiao Anping, is this the reason why you left the Ten Thousand Swords Villa in the first place?" Jin Hongwen stopped beating around the bush and asked straight to the point.
Qiao Anping's face sank and he put down the teacup.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lan Xuyao couldn't help but scold: "Qiao Anping, are you crazy!" Do you know what you're doing now? Do you know what Ten Thousand Swords Villa does! β
"I know." Qiao Anping raised his head and looked at everyone, and said very indifferently, his eyes were extremely firm.
"Know you're still doing stupid things? Come back with us! Luo Hengyuan couldn't stand it anymore, "We're just businessmen." β
"I'm not involved in anything at Ten Thousand Swords Villa, I'm just in charge of taking care of Xue Qing."
"Rebellion is a great sin of the nine clans, even if you are not involved, you will not be able to get rid of it if you are with them. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family! Jin Hongwen said angrily, "Besides, although we are businessmen, we also have a bottom line." What to do and what not to do, don't you know? β
"Jin Hongwen, there are only me and Xue Qing in the inn, and the people from Wanjian Villa are in other places. And the prince will also protect Xue Qing, I will be fine. Qiao Anping explained, "I'm just a businessman, I don't know what to do and what not to do, I just know where Xueqing is, I'm there." β
"Qiao Anping, I support you......"
"Jin Xueyan, shut up!" Jin Hongwen looked at Qiao Anping, "Since you said that you are a businessman, then let's talk about business." The prince also approached us and promised that if we could contribute money and efforts this time, he would give us a lot of convenience in the future, which would be a good deal. β
"Jin Hongwen, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, each press one head. Since it is a business, there is no sure way to make a profit or lose money. We do not know how the situation will develop in the future. Now that you have taken refuge in the prince, and Xueqing is here, you will definitely be able to protect me. And I, on Xue Qing's side, if the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Villa wins in the end, I can also leave a way back for you. β
"Qiao Anping, don't be obsessed!"
"Jin Hongwen, thank you for coming to me to say this. But what I've decided is not going to change. It's time for me to go. β
"Qiao Anping......" Jin Xueyan looked at his distant back, and secretly made up her mind, when the matter passed, she would also be like him, do what she likes, and fight for the people she likes.
"See the emperor! See the Prince! β
"Haha, good! All the ministers are flat! β
"Emperor Xie!"
Looking at these generals stationed in various state capitals, the emperor was in a good mood: "When I see you, I feel at ease." However, the stability of each state capital cannot be ignored, and it is not necessary to take care of one or the other. β
"Father, please rest assured, all state capitals have allocated thirty percent of their troops, which will not affect local security."
"Okay, you go back for the time being, and wait for the prince's dispatch at that time."
"Minister's order."
"Yi Xuan, what do you think this time?"
"Huangfu Zongyi is a civil servant, and he has no military power in his hands, but seven of the sixteen guards have been bought by him, and he has many protΓ©gΓ©s. In addition, generals Li Yide and Gu Peiyuan were Ding Sheng's cronies before, and I believe that they will be on his side this time. Also, Wanjian Villa has subdued a large number of Jianghu forces through the sword test conference, and it will presumably be used by Huangfu Zongyi. β
"Then what do you think we have a chance of winning this time?"
Qin Yixuan smiled: "Ten percent! β
"Oh? Let's hear it. β
"The sixteen guards are not enough to rely on, I have already arranged the internal response, and when the emperor is ready to start an incident, Lei Ao will control those leaders, replace them on the spot, and then plan the plan, and the inside and the outside should be combined. Li Yide and Gu Peiyuan have 100,000 troops in their hands, and I have transferred 120,000 horses from various state capitals this time, plus more than 30,000 soldiers from the Sixteen Guards, which is enough to deal with. As for those people in the rivers and lakes, they are just a rabble, and they can be dispersed by throwing small profits, and the stubborn ones will be dealt with by the shadows. At that time, the forbidden army will guard the harem and the imperial study, and the father and the emperor and all the mothers will not have to worry. β
"What about Ten Thousand Swords Villa, you said they were not easy to deal with."
"Throw out heavy profits, let those people in the rivers and lakes turn around to deal with Wanjian Villa, and after they kill each other, there will be little remaining strength in Wanjian Villa, and then the 30,000 horses of the Sixteen Guards will be enough to deal with them. In this way, the rivers and lakes can be clean for decades. β
"Okay, Yi Xuan, I really didn't misunderstand you. After this incident, I believe that there will be no more opposition from the DPRK and China. "Classic
"To protect the safety of my Great Qin, my sons must do their best."
"Okay, you can go down too."
"Yes, the retainers are retired." Qin Yixuan walked out of the imperial study and looked at the clear sky, just like his bright prospects, after this incident, where would there be different voices.
"General Xiao?"
"General Ho?"
"Commander Shao?"
"Commander Yuan?"
β¦β¦
Several people looked at each other, and they met in the imperial study not long ago, and they met again in less than half an hour. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and after a moment of surprise, they showed a tacit look.
"Hahaha! Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting for a long time. β
"I've seen Xiangye!"
"You're welcome, sit! I know you've all been to the study just now......"
Immediately, someone complimented: "Xiangye is clever, and great things will be done." β
"I think you have already understood the purpose of inviting you......
"Xiangye, good birds choose trees to perch, we naturally understand."
Huangfu Zongyi smiled again: "Is there anyone who still doesn't understand?" β
Li Gaowo watched the performance of several people from the sidelines, the corners of two people's mouths twitched, one held a teacup with a hand shaking, and the other with a foot closed, but after all, no one said anything against it.
After being silent for about half a cup of tea, Huangfu Zong opened his mouth and said: "I don't embarrass you, if you are willing to conspire with me, you can stay, if you don't want to quit directly, return to your own station, I don't care, if it's ......" The meaning of the words doesn't need to be clarified, everyone understands.
Immediately, everyone expressed their willingness to follow the prime minister to conspire together.
After dismissing everyone, Huangfu Zong looked at Li Gaowo and said, "Is the owner of the village really sure?" β
"The lives of these people, including the lives of their families, are in our hands, and we are not afraid that they will be disobedient, but when it becomes a great cause, we can't entrust it with important tasks, after all, we don't really take refuge in Xiangye."
"Not bad."
"As long as they don't make a move at that time, we will be 100% sure of taking the imperial city. Li Yide and General Gu Peiyuan have 100,000 troops in their hands, which is enough to deal with the forbidden army and the Sixteen Guards, and we still have most of the forces in the rivers and lakes, and the forces of Tianyi Pavilion have been bulldozed by me, and only the dying Wuhuang Fort remains. β
"Hahaha, good! Or the owner is thoughtful. β
"Xiangye's great cause is also to be entrusted to Qing'er, she has won the world, and she will not lose the benefits of my Wanjian Villa."
"That's right, we are all here to get the most exalted position for Qing'er."
"Those generals, I will send people to follow, Xiangye can rest assured. If nothing else, Gao Wo will take his leave. β
"Please."
"I'm glad you were able to figure it out and take the initiative to come to me." Huangfu Sect looked at Ice Flame Dao.
"Grandfather, I am a descendant of the Huangfu family, and my grandfather's great cause is my great cause."
"You've finally grown up and become sensible." Huangfu Zongyi patted him on the shoulder and said with relief, "I said that I want Qing'er to be the empress, you won't blame me, right?" β
"Sunny ...... My aunt is my elder, and Bingyan has no complaints. β
"Li Gaowo is too smart and has a big heart. Now it's impossible between you and Qing'er, and I can only do this so that he can help me desperately. β
"Grandfather doesn't need to explain, Bingyan understands."
"But don't worry, Qing'er, this girl is not like Li Gaowo, she is like a favorite, she has no ambitions, even if she ascends to the throne, the real power is still in your hands."
"I don't understand a lot of things yet, I have to study hard with my grandfather, and it is best to hold the power in my grandfather's hands."
"You've really grown up. But you have to be careful, you can't be emotional anymore, when we become a great cause, the prince can't stay, and Wanjian Villa can't stay, you know? β
"Yes!"
Bingyan returned to his room, hurriedly changed a set of clothes, and went to the restaurant again, secretly looking at her a few times every day, which was a must-do.
After leaving that day, he went to Huangfu Zongyi to show his loyalty. Even if he is not the bloodline of the Huangfu family, this nurturing grace is real, if Huangfu Zongyi did not send him to Wanjian Villa, he would not have met Xueqing.
Since the love of children is hopeless, then repay the kindness of parenting, as for brotherly love, when the time comes, he will find a way to keep Red Sakura, Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo, and he believes that Xue Qing will too.
To say that he himself, the dying man, has any good plans? No matter what the final outcome is, arranging Xueqing well is the most important thing.
