Chapter 48: Complexity (2-in-1)
"It's too complicated." His Royal Highness shouted with blood-red eyes and Mo Yun's scalp.
"Old immortal, if you want to eat me, just put your mouth in your mouth, why torture me!" Mo Yun never waited for the fleeting light to come back on, but was tied to the head of the bed by His Highness and "Li".
His Royal Highness had no manners, and sat in front of him, stretching out his long, astringent tongue and licking it on Mo Yun's scalp.
After the blood on his scalp was licked clean by His Highness Qian, his gaze shifted to Mo Yun's forehead, where there was a bloody skull, like a beautiful umami taste that seduced His Highness's appetite that had not been satisfied for more than forty years.
Mo Yun didn't know what to do now, and the only way he came up with was to delay time.
Although he didn't know what was happening downstairs, he instinctively felt that if it was morning, Xu Buyan would definitely come upstairs.
So he came up with an idea that he thought was particularly bad, saying:
"Cooked meat is delicious, and raw meat is not as chewy as cooked meat. I've heard that there is a way to make delicious food in the north in the north, which is to open the braincase, pour hot oil on the brain, and dig it with a spoon to eat it very fragrant. ”
When Mo Yun said this, his eyes saw the "departure" who had not spoken on the side.
"Li" the black hole's eyes didn't know what she was looking at, as if sensing Mo Yun's gaze, she tilted her head slightly, and let out a "Huh?" ”
Mo Yun always felt that he had some kind of delusional disorder, and he had a feeling that this "detachment" actually had eyes.
“…… Well? Belch? Hey...... The little one is very conscious, and he can still come up with such a happy way to eat. His Royal Highness didn't know if he wanted to play with Mo Yun or if he really planned to use this method of frying, so he actually sat down and began to recall the menu he knew.
Mo Yun saw that His Royal Highness was thinking seriously, and he didn't really want His Highness to eat himself.
He tried to accosting "Leave": "Hey...... Leave, yes? ”
"Li" ignored him.
"I have a hairpin in my pocket, I just bought it in the evening, do you want to try it?" Mo Yun rolled his eyes and said again.
"Li" moved, Mo Yun was overjoyed, but saw a pipe thrown on his body, and there was a dry voice from "Li":
"Sit honestly."
Mo Yun has no honest thoughts at all, he is now in a crisis, and he may be eaten by His Highness ex-highness.
"Are you really a 'class'?"
"I read a book that says that 'kind' is a kind of lifeform that the metamaster has studied, and it is not easy to succeed, but it is very faithful. You actually have a sense of self, which I haven't seen in a book. Mo Yun racked his brains to recall the introduction of 'class' that he had seen in Xiao Qianshu.
"Hey, Your Highness ex, aren't you worried about this 'leaving' identity at all? A 'class' is actually self-aware. "Mo Yun saw that he couldn't get into' oil and salt, so he had to change his object.
"The ability of 'kinds' to have self-consciousness is not recorded in the classics, and it has been pursued by aspiring to create mystics for many years. He is so powerful that even if I fully recover, I will only be able to crush it, and I think he can go this far. Don't worry, I won't be sowing discord with this kid. His Highness turned his head and said to Li, but Mo Yun saw his blood-red eyes flickering faintly.
"Old immortal, it's useless for you to think about it here, why don't we talk. Tell me, why have you been stuck here for so many years? I have to go out today. Coincidentally, it had to be when I came. Mo Yun thought about it, and every time he was going to do something in Shimen before, he had to let Lao Buxiu remember it first. All the old guys have too much experience and have a stomach to talk about, and often a memory is a night, so if you are not careful, the big guy can do a lot less, and it can be said that there are a hundred tries.
"Hey, we're fated to do it." His Highness opened his mouth, revealing his sharp teeth, which were jagged and not at all like human teeth.
After saying this, His Highness stood up and walked around the room, muttering in his mouth that he didn't know what to say, vaguely saying something like 'complicated'.
He stopped suddenly, looked at the furnishings in the room, and walked towards the other three humanoids, carrying a leg and an arm on the ground on his shoulder.
Here, all of a sudden, only Mo Yun and 'Li' remained.
Mo Yun took a breath, he was still afraid in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had been beaten by the old man in the division for so many years, he would have peed his pants by now.
"You're a Xuanshi?" Suddenly, he heard a voice, he looked around, and then his gaze hit Li's face.
"Look at what that kind of person is doing, the old man Bai Burong is the ancestor of Bai Order. Xu Liming and I ordered them to be outside this hall, and now you do what I say, and you are fine. But you have to do the old man a favor first, you ask this class, does she still have any memories of the past. Mo Yun really wanted to scold Gu Rongyuan, who was the unreliable person he introduced, Xu Liming and the three of them actually looked at him and were about to die, and he didn't say that he came to save himself.
"Li, do you have any memories?" Mo Yun's voice was small, but he felt that 'Li' could hear it.
"Little guy, since you are self-conscious, you naturally have some memories of the past. You want to talk to her, and your voice is a little less troublesome. Although I am old, my ears are not bad. "There was the voice of His Highness the ex-high.
Mo Yun scolded secretly.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his ears, dry but a little excited:
"It seems like there's a little bit more."
He hurriedly looked in the direction of His Highness, but did not see the movement that the old fellow had heard.
"I used to be a mystic, and like the white cloth that sounded in your heart, I would have a little voice of the heart." 'Leave' explained.
Mo Yun's heart blossomed.
……
Dongzhou has been in turmoil for nearly a hundred years, and there are countless reasons.
Most of the reasons point directly to the two empires, and it seems that the chaos in the world is precisely the wheel of history that these two giant hands push behind their backs, walking in the direction they identify, crushing every piece of land, corpses can be reclaimed, and blood can freeze the earth.
The banquet dispersed, Gao Zhengjin said goodbye to Bai Xian and others, saying that he still had some things.
Curved along the bank of the Linhuai River, Gao Zhengjin entered a canopy boat, and a smell of fat powder overflowing in the boat came to his nose, he sneezed a few times, quickly turned his head and got out of the boat, took a few big breaths, and then re-entered the cabin.
The boatman pushed hard in the water with a brace, and the boat slowly swung towards the center of the Linhuai River.
There were two people sitting in the boat, one was Liu Gonggong of the Jin Empire, and the other was Zhao Xu, the lord of the Song State.
"High envoy, please take a seat, drink a glass of wine first, and warm up." Zhao Xu had a sick face, saw Gao Zhengjin, endured the pain in his body and knelt on the futon, poured him a glass of wine and handed it over.
Gao Zhengjin hiccuped, took the wine glass without hesitation, and drank it all: "I'm dying of thirst." ”
"Although our family has been walking around in the inner court of the Jin Empire, we have also had some contact with many southern envoys, and the high envoys are very different from them." Father-in-law Liu wore clean clothes, crossed the table on the boat with a glass of wine, and leaned towards Gao Zhengjin.
Gao Zhengjin pinched his nose: "Go away, Gonggong Liu, your fragrance is pungent in your nose." ”
Gonggong Liu's face remained unchanged, and he retreated a little back with a smile.
"Can you open the window?" Although Gao Zhengjin asked, his hand had already pushed open the window on the cabin, and a cold wind from the Huai River blew into the cabin, swirling inside, taking away the smell of incense powder.
"Hey...... High envoy, Ya Luyue is still very cold in the Song Kingdom, and my body is becoming more and more afraid of the cold, please close it. Zhao Xu's body trembled and he proposed with a bitter face.
"That's not possible, although you are both rootless people, the boatman outside is not, in case you seek money and kill here, where do I complain? Nine Hells? Hey, the river was brightly lit just now, and now it's all dark. Gao Zhengjin looked out of the window, only the boat under his buttocks was shining brightly, and there was no light.
"Don't dare, don't dare. The Song State still had to rely on the support of the Jin Empire and the Jun Empire, and after forty years of peace, how could it dare to destroy the foundation of its foothold. Zhao Xu fumbled in the cabin for a while, found a coat and put it on his body, drank a few glasses of wine, and felt that his lower abdomen was a little warm before stopping.
"Is there anything going to happen tonight? Otherwise, why did Father-in-law Liu invite me to drink in the middle of the night, and you will be accompanied by King Song in person. Even if I am an envoy of the Jun Empire, I don't dare to take the two of you here together. Gao Zhengjin looked at Zhao Xu's movements, left a gap in the window, and let in a little wind, and did not turn a deaf ear.
"King Song is not feeling well, so let me tell him what is happening tonight." Gonggong Liu glanced at Zhao Xu, sighed in his heart, patted Zhao Xu's shoulder, looked up at Gao Zhengjin, and said with a solemn expression, "King Song will die in the sea as early as this month, or two months later." The Song State was of great importance to the two empires that you and I represented, and should not be taken lightly. At present, the way of establishing business must continue to be implemented, otherwise both the Jin Empire and the Jun Empire will lose great economic benefits. The Song State invested in hundreds of jobs in the two empires, which were related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of trainees, and once it collapsed, it would inevitably lead to the energy of the two empires. ”
Gao Zhengjin was a little indifferent at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he thought that both Nanjun and Beijin were currently facing their own wars.
"In the battle of Fang Wuyuan, the city lord of no return has defeated the 100,000 army urgently gathered by the Fang Wuyuan Joint Association, a certain prince who has a very good relationship with His Majesty almost abandoned his wife and wanted to take refuge in Luodu, and Shen Musi, the fifteenth diocese of Muzong, also actively asked the prime minister to send troops to fight against the ambitious city lord of no return. I might as well say bluntly that the military mobilization of the Jin Empire must have been mobilized from the Zhuzhan Plain, and after lacking the strength to suppress the Zhuzhan Plain, some states that have been preparing to move may not heed the Jun Empire's warning. If the Song Kingdom is destroyed, what will be the face of the two empires of you and me from now on to maintain a balance in the Plains of Battles? "Gonggong Liu said it extremely straightforwardly, which made Gao Zhengjin, a person with a straight intestine, a little admired.
Gao Zhengjin scratched his head: "Father-in-law Liu got the secret order of your prime minister?" But when I came to the Song Kingdom, I was not summoned by His Majesty, how dare I talk like you. ”
"Gonggong Liu said so much, but also for Xiao Wang's foundation in the Song Kingdom to be stably inherited, so that Xiao Wang's death will not lead to many future variables. High messenger, little king is brave! Zhao Xu said and knocked on the ground, "Please see and hear what the Song Kingdom has seen and heard today, so that Your Majesty will not know, and everything that happened tonight will be kept tight-lipped by the High Envoy, which is related to the future hundred years of my Song Kingdom, and it is also closely related to the fact that the states of the War Plains will not harass the peace and tranquility of the borders of the two empires." ”
Gao Zhengjin's face was stunned, and he didn't immediately step forward to help Zhao Xu up.
"You're going to die, the Song royal family has direct inheritance, one is your grandson, and the other is the former highness." Gao Zhengjin took a breath and drank a few glasses of wine, "Before I came, I got a secret order from the Governor's Yuan, asking me to use the Golden Concubine Society to propagate the national policy of the Jun Empire never to give up the Song State, so as to calm the hearts of the Song people." Since the end of last year, the various states in the Plains of Zhuzhan have secretly connected each other, forming a twisted rope, trying to take advantage of the lack of time for the two empires to strike at the Song State. His Majesty and the Governor's House both know about it. ”
Zhao Xu lay on the ground tightly, waiting for Gao Zhengjin's next words.
Gonggong Liu interjected: "High envoy, the war in Xingtu is not going well." It is said that the rebel party in the Gyeongju Mountains has been active again in the past few months, and your Majesty the Emperor has to carry out valve reforms, which is not simple. ”
Gao Zhengjin scratched his head: "I don't know about these things. Nor is it under my control. If your King of Song ensures that he can quell or delay the attack of the allied forces of the states for a period of time, I can send someone to Bolin City with a letter, and ask General Song to transfer a small part of the Jun Empire's troops to come and garrison. ”
Zhao Xu raised his head and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, as long as my grandson can succeed to the throne, he will definitely continue to implement my policy for forty years, and resolutely provide material supplies for the two empires without delay." ”
After a pause, Zhao Xu hesitated: "It's just ......"
"You've all brought me to this river, can I stop you? You're just looking at me as young and bullying. Gao Zhengjin opened the window and looked in a certain direction, where it was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"After all, His Royal Highness is old, he inherited the throne, but he will survive for a few years, and he may not be able to hold on for a few days. Find a young man to succeed you, and the continuity of the policy can also be guaranteed. What do you think, High Emissary? Father-in-law Liu knew that Gao Zhengjin had agreed, but he still had to let him give a confirmation from words.
"Yes, there are always plenty of opportunities for young people." Gao Zhengjin looked at his own shadow in the faint waves on the river, and whispered to himself: "Young, you can't be bullied." ”
"King Song, I want to ask you something, why you haven't let His Highness die in the sea for so many years. He's been imprisoned by you, and he's old, so no matter when he dies, there's no problem. Gao Zhengjin is very strange about this matter, and many people who are concerned about Song Guo are very curious.
Zhao Xu was embarrassed, looked at Gonggong Liu, and then at Gao Zhengjin: "This ...... It's not that Xiao Wang doesn't say it, but this involves the promise I made when my brother abdicated forty-five years ago. ”
Gonggong Liu and Zhao Xu are the same age, and they used to be excellent friends, so they figured it out in an instant and shook their heads:
"It's hard for you."
"Promise? What is it? Gao Zhengjin didn't quite understand.
"King Song once promised in front of the first emperor and the last emperor of Nanchen that he would never cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of the former highness. This involved a big man, as well as the situation in the Plains of War at that time and even today. In general, if the Song State dares to break its promise to kill His Royal Highness, it is possible to abandon the Chengping policy and re-arm to expand its territory. Gonggong Liu sighed and said, "Back then, in order for the Song State to train the people so that the country would not die, the King of Song paid a lot." ”
Gao Zhengjin carefully combed it and finally understood.
His Royal Highness reigned for a total of three years, and after the fifth reign of the Song Kingdom, the soldiers of the Song State once covered half of the Zhuzhan Plain, and even pointed directly at the Chen Empire, which was experiencing a hundred years of war at that time.
Most of the war plains were trembling under the iron hooves of the Song Kingdom.
It's a pity that His Royal Highness is a blood master, there are many brutal actions, and the trusted courtiers are incompetent and corrupt, and finally the army was defeated by Shang Yuan, and was counterattacked by dozens of states and states directly under the city of Lin'an.
Once faced with such a powerful Song State, and His Royal Highness did not die, which state would dare to rest assured that the Song State would not rise again one day.
Therefore, in the promise of the two empires, the states and the Song state signed a treaty, which clearly stipulated that the policy of establishing a country by commerce would not be allowed to change for any reason, otherwise the Jin Empire and the Chen Empire would refuse to help, and the states could join forces again to completely divide the Song State.
In these contracts, there is a clause that cannot kill the former highness.
"If it weren't for a big man threatening these states, His Highness wouldn't have survived." Gonggong Liu is not without regrets, "If His Royal Highness dies in the hands of King Song, that big man will not be easy to get along with." ”
"What kind of big man can influence the two empires and the states? It can't be the shepherd of the pastoral sect, right? Gao Zhengjin said in surprise.
Gonggong Liu and King Song glanced at each other and shook their heads: "You can't say it, you can't say it." ”
"Now that he has killed His Royal Highness, isn't the King of Song worried about the alliance of other confederates and the Song soldiers to end up in trouble?" Gao Zhengjin smiled playfully.
"Xiao Wang's checkmate is the biggest variable. If Xiao Wang doesn't take the opportunity of his imminent death, then His Royal Highness will never be able to kill. Either way, he's also a Blood Mysticist. Though...... But I don't want Zhao Zhefu to face internal and external troubles as soon as he ascends the throne. If Xiao Wang could live for another five years, there would be no tonight. At that time, the succession of the throne can be smooth, and a satisfactory answer can be given to the states and the two empires. Zhao Xu looked gloomy, closed his eyes, and sighed.
"It's complicated." Gao Zhengjin shook his head and repeated, "It's complicated. You have been thinking about this all year round, so it's no wonder that you don't dare to do anything until you die. ”
