The tall room, the top is a very rare circular dome in the Great Xia, with all kinds of jade, stone, emerald, treasure to fill in the star map model, the magnificence is inexplicable, and the middle is inlaid with a diameter of more than two feet of circular glass, so that the sunlight can be sprinkled refreshingly.

With his eyes closed, half-lying on the chair, the sky was bathed in the sunshine, and he seemed to be draped in a golden coat. This is his favorite room, which has been renovated many times since the Little Heaven National Foundation, and each time, it will be taller and more solemn than the previous one, and it will also make the Hun Tian who sits in it look even more imposing.

"Godking?"

The footsteps were heavy, and there was only one person, who opened his eyes and sat up slowly.

"The Northwest Army Horse, are they all wiped out?"

Nodding heavily, Chang Gung walked to a place seven steps away from Hun Tian and stopped, just outside the sunlight that threw himself down. The expression is tired like never before.

He didn't sit, although there was still a chair in the room...... However, since that chair was placed there, only Higashiyama has ever sat on it.

"It's too far away...... The mountains and rivers are separated, and the whip is beyond reach. ”

As long as the army of King Zuowu cannot go south, it is a success, but the king of wings wants to do his best to go west...... The chess shape is already heavy, how to move it? ”

What the two of them said was the news of the Northwest Army that had just come: the Taiping Army fought in March, and finally ran out of food and grass, defeated Jinzhou, 170,000 children stained with blood and yellow sand, and were wordlessly besieged and killed by King Zuowu with one hundred and two strong men, fought hard for three days, shot countless people, but finally lost the enemy, and the bow was broken.

"This should also be a very heavy blow to the North King."

The northwestern states are barren and barren and have weak material resources, which are not enough to support the long-term operations of the large corps; although they are important places for the eastward advance to the south, the two armies have always only regarded them as partial divisions and clamped each other down, that is, the so-called meaning of "not seeking merit, but seeking no fault." And the reason why Wuyan insisted on ordering all the troops and horses of Qi to go north was because he saw that King Zuowu's troops were also not much, and he wanted to break through Zuowu's first army and forcibly take Jinzhou before the logistics collapsed.

"However, the imperial army's military strength in the northwest is more than imagined...... In other words, the other party also intends to use this opportunity to completely defeat the Silent Army, all according to Jinzhou! ”

In the final analysis, all this is inseparable from the sea: although no one said it explicitly, everyone knows that the wordless departure has a great deal to do with him, and this is not counted, as the first general in the army of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, but he failed to judge the strategic intention of the imperial army to "cut off one arm first" from the changes in the opponent's front, and was attracted by the small profits of several counties, and threw heavy troops on the eastern front, so that when the northwest military was in crisis, the Little Heavenly Kingdom could not even make a tactical move of feint attack and containment.

“…… Their sacrifice is for peace, and it is the day of peace in the world every year, which is the time when these brothers live forever. ”

Finally, these words were used to indicate the end of the conversation, Hun Tian leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and watched silently for a while, Chang Geng bowed and turned to leave.

Kankan was about to come to the door, but behind him, there was a loud voice. "But, god...... Do you think, Winged King, that he really has to die? ”

After hesitating, Chang Geng slowly turned around and shook his head slightly.

"No, the Winged King is still alive...... Because, Heavenly King, you should also understand, right? ”

"You really understand!"

Standing up, the clothes around the sky were blown up without wind, rising to a height of more than three feet, thoughtful, angry, bathed in the sun, even more majestic and majestic.

"Now that you understand...... Why?! ”

"There are no two days in the sky, there are no two lords for the people, and there are no two lords...... There is only one God, and there can only be one God. ”

“…… You can say that again. ”

With his hands behind his back, still floating in the air, Hun Tian raised his head and looked at the scorching sun through the huge glass above.

"So, do you think the Winged King will come back?"

“…… No, it won't. ”

There was a hint of sentimentality in his voice, and Chang Geng said: "So far, I have thought of the overlord, and I have no face to cross Jiangdong...... The Winged King, bound by shame and remorse and anger, will no longer be able to come back to see us, let alone ......

"In the heart of the Wing King, there is the peace that he believes in and wants, which is different from the peace that you believe and hope for...... Either he changes, or you change, otherwise, he won't come back. ”

"So, what about you?"

Still looking up at the sky, it seemed that there was all the truth there, Hun Tian said lightly: "Is your peace exactly the same as my peace?" ”

"No, it's not."

Chang Geng shook his head slightly, and added after a slight pause: "You have your peace, I have my peace, just like the Winged King has the Winged King's peace, and the East King also has the East King's peace." ”

Hearing the word "East King", Hun Tian was slightly shocked, but said: "Do you think that the North King still hasn't found his peace?" ”

“…… No. But, perhaps, soon. ”

"So, how?"

Finally took his eyes off the sun, looked at Chang Geng, and met the sad, but indifferent eyes.

My answer...... Exactly the same as back then. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Uh, is there a different Taiping for each of them?) ）

It seems strange, but if you think about it carefully, Yun Chongbo is not incomprehensible: the peace in the mouths of Hun Tian and Chang Gung is more similar to the conception of the "ideal country" in the future, and it is impossible for such a world to have the same answer.

Yun Chongbo was slightly disappointed that the North King had not finally found his peace, but it was not a surprise, after all, ...... He may be the one who knows the sea best.

(But, the question is...... Who made this dream? ）

After being reminded by the second daughter, Yun Chongbo discovered that the problem was wrong, and the latest dream reminded him: in his continuous dreams, not every time the protagonist is in the sea!

(Hey, anyway, I didn't suffer anything in my dreams...... No matter what...... Didn't Dad say that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain! ）

It's refreshing to explain to himself, but when he thinks of another thing, Yun Chongbo can't be so easy.

(Nine days, this guy...... It's really annoying. ）

Since he was in the snowy region, Yun Chongbo and He Lingbing have not been very opposed, and this time they see each other again, the other party seems to have completely failed to remember the "mercy" of his subordinates in the snowy region, but has become Bengali.

Originally, with Yun Chongbo's temperament, he would not care about etiquette and other things with people, but He Lingbing touched on the things he cared about the most...... Xiao Wenshuang!

(Wenshuang was damaged by her!) ）

After the reunion, the two of them were extremely happy, although there was an estrangement born from a dream in the middle, but after Yun Chongbo took the initiative to choose "open and honest", the fog had already dispersed, but on the contrary, He Lingbing had a way to create new unhappiness.

"Sister Shuang...... That's the transgression. ”

Resolutely opposed to the two being commensurate with each other by name, although Yun Chongbo shouted loudly, "Her name is for people to shout, what's wrong with my name Wenshuang......" rejected her opinion, Xiao Wenshuang couldn't force Liang to do this, and changed his words from then on, calling Yun Chongbo an "immortal", and at the same time politely refused the gifts given by Yun Chongbo, and refused to take back the stone that had been hanging on his chest for two days. Every time he thinks about it, Yun Chongbo will want to hit someone.

(In short, let's talk to Wenshuang later...... There's no need for this, isn't it just a stone...... Moreover, what shouts "the undead"...... Twelve immortals, thousands of years before and after, if they shout like this, each of them can agree! ）

While thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the sound of the wooden door "ah", slowly opened, and when Yun Chongbo looked up, he was suffering from being blocked from sight, and could only see the half-moon-white monk's robe.

(Well, monk...... Could it be said? ）

Suddenly thinking of the experience that Xiao Wenshuang had said, Yun Chongbo was violently excited, and when he jumped up, he had already heard the Buddha's horn in his ears.

"Amitabha."

The voice is low, it sounds very young, but it seems to be very old, and it reveals a wonderful "sincerity", which is like a heart-cleansing bell and drum, which makes Yun Chongbo feel very peaceful.

"The immortal, the poor monk is polite."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mr. Duanmu, the concubine is polite."

Politely saluted, sat down upright, Xiaoyin was very wary in his heart, but he didn't dare to bring out half of it outside, lowered his eyebrows, sat sideways, and couldn't even pick out the slightest flaw in etiquette.

"In the last two days, I've been ready to strike at the undead."

Taking this as the opening remark, Zigong said lightly that he had already cashed out part of Xiaoyin's asking price, and in the recent chaos, a number of large merchants who had interests with the Sima family had inexplicably suffered losses and had an accident.

"Of course, at the moment there are only about forty percent, and the rest ...... I'll do it afterwards. ”

As cold as ever, Zigong told Xiaoyin that if he was not at ease, he could also bring it up.

“…… How dare you. ”

The money was bowed, and Xiaoyin said that Zigong's words were stronger than the joint guarantee of thousands of money banks.

"As for the recent situation......"

Without saying a word, he quietly listened to Xiaoyin's report, and after two cups of tea, Fang listened to Xiaoyin and said, "That's it." ”

"Very good......

dragged out a long tail note, Zigong seemed to fall into contemplation again, thought for a while, and then said: "I invited you here in such a hurry today, in fact, there is something I want to annoy you." ”

With his hands in his sleeves, Zigong said very directly: He has been studying since he was a child and does not know love.

Although, just by reading the writings of the forefathers, it is enough to know all human nature...... Originally, it was not necessary to experience all the seven emotions and six desires in person, but the former sages also had the same words, and they finally felt shallow on paper. ”

Zigong's meaning is to hope that Xiaoyin can provide himself with an idea, an idea that can have the greatest efficiency and play the greatest role, and an idea that can instantly destroy the mutual trust between Yun Chongbo and Xiao Wenshuang, so as to drag Yun Chongbo to the dark abyss.

"Does this mean that you are pinning your hopes on 'the heart of the most poisonous woman'?"

Showing a playful smile, but not in exchange for a slightly softened response, Zigong just bowed slightly and said, "Exactly." It makes Xiaoyin extremely boring.

"Then, the concubine body will be ugly......"

After pondering for a while, a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and Xiaoyin straightened up, indicating that he had an idea.

"Comparison, through comparison, let the immortal understand that his position in the hearts of others is not so high."

gave a few examples, such as "Let the greedy wolf make a comparison, if she finds a suicide note from Zhang Nanjin now, ask her to kill the undead, whether to kill or not to kill ......" and so on, but Zigong was not satisfied, just shook his head slowly.

In the end, Xiaoyin seemed to be poor, and even suggested that otherwise, let Yun Chongbo choose, whether to Xiaoyin, the "big woman who is gathering in the Ming media", or Xiao Wenshuang, the "fox spirit with an unjustified name...... But he seemed to know that this was pure nonsense, and before he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and smiled softly.

"We women, with long hair and little knowledge, can only have these ideas...... Please Mr. Duanmu for correction. ”

"Your knowledge is definitely not shallow......"

With a slight smile, Zigong thought that Xiaoyin's cleverness had never been seen in him.

"You obviously have an idea, you have the best idea, but you don't say it...... Rather, through a litany of ridiculous nonsense, let me think of it myself...... Do you think that this will be more satisfying to my vanity? ”

was pointed out by the other party, but Xiaoyin still only chuckled, in her, she didn't expect this kind of little trick to fool Zigong, and she believed that in the atmosphere at the moment, this would only make Zigong more pleasant.

For smart people, sometimes you can't use small means, because the other party can see through it at once, and sometimes you have to deliberately use some small means, because ...... Seeing through them, they will only be satisfied with their own cleverness, but will ignore other things.

(In short, I can't let him see what I'm thinking, let alone feel what I'm doing...... This person is terrible! ）

“…… All in all, good. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zigong seemed to be satisfied with Xiaoyin's prompt, and gently clasped his palms, indicating that he accepted it.

"Remember, for this prompt, I can do more for the Sima family."

Feeling that this was a very appropriate end, Xiaoyin leaned down again, and used a few clever words to blend self-humility and gratitude, but quietly resisted Zigong's words, and confirmed his promise to "do more things for the Sima family", and after that, he quietly waited for the other party's last words, and after that, he could leave here.

…… But, I heard, Zigong, in the most indifferent voice, said the most unexpected question.

"So, please answer me, if Mrs. Liu and Liu Chilei fall into the water together, who will you save first?"

Stunned, he raised his head and met Zigong's eyes, which were cold eyes, and the middle ...... It's so cold that there's no room for "malice".

Is that the right question...... Please tell me, Miss Liu. ”
