Chapter 602: Lonely Gao Shaoyi
Hearing the happy name, Liu Zhong and Wu Shun glanced at each other, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, and the corner of the old woman's mouth pursed a faint smile. Happiness is not untargeted, nor is it the vicissitudes of seeing the old woman, he obviously saw the uniqueness of the old woman, and saw that she was the person with the highest status among the three.
Liu Zhong glanced at the old woman, and when he saw her head, he smiled and introduced to Xing Xing: "Little Wangye, this is the old senior sister, and it is also the great elder of my sect. ”
"Little prince, the old woman Shangguan Yunfeng, this is polite!" The old woman saluted respectfully, smiled kindly, and her voice was slightly hoarse, but it was not harsh to listen to, but very comfortable.
The light in his eyes flashed in his happy eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was rich and sincere, and he bowed his hand and said: "It turns out that the predecessor is the famous Shangguan Elder in the martial arts, and when I see it today, I am really fortunate to have three lives!" ”
"The little prince is serious!"
Shangguan Yunfeng shook his head, paused, and said with some emotion: "The little prince is a young hero, and his reputation and old body are also like thunder, but he has always been on the same side, and when I saw it today, it was really a dragon and phoenix among people, which made people admire and admire!" ”
"The seniors of the Shangguan appreciate, and the juniors are afraid!" Happy and reserved and modestly smiled, bowed slightly, made a gesture of please, and said gently: "Senior, Elder Liu, Shun'er, please!" ”
"Little prince, please!" Shangguan Yunfeng said with a smile, and then walked in with Liu Zhongwu and the trio.
After entering the house, the four of them sat down separately, and happily made hot tea for Shangguan Yunfeng and the three of them, and then returned to their seats and sat down. This scene made the hearts of the three Moon Worshippers warm, and they looked at each other and smiled, especially Wu Shun's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance. The Lunatic Cult was sincere and happy, and although the negotiations had not yet begun, they had finally created a more harmonious atmosphere.
"Little prince, on the bank of the Yellow River that day, the old man had a ten-day appointment with you, I don't know if the son still remembers?" Liu Zhong took a sip of tea, sat up straight, smiled and said happily.
He said happily: "I have never forgotten that I have been sweeping the bed for the past few days to wait for the arrival of Elder Liu. There are a lot of misunderstandings between you and me, and fighting and killing can't solve the problem, and some things still need to be discussed. ”
Liu Zhong's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Shangguan Yunfeng, but the latter was sitting lazily on the chair, his eyes slightly closed, and he was drinking tea by himself, so leisurely. His eyebrows raised slightly, a touch of gloom flashed on Liu Zhong's face, and he smiled apologetically: "Little Lord, I am deeply sorry for the harm caused by the Zhang family to the prince and Mrs. Zun, now that the first evil is dead, I hope you can let go of this grudge and think about the relationship between you and me in the long run!" ”
"Elder Liu can rest assured, happiness is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. Ten days ago, Bengong was able to retreat with his whole body, thanks to Elder Liu's help. As he spoke, he happily bowed his hand and said sincerely: "Here, I am glad to thank Elder Liu!" ”
Hearing Xing Xing say this, Liu Zhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Liu Zhong can't talk about how sad he is about the death of the Zhang brothers, but it's just a pity that the fall of the Zhang family has hurt the vitality of the Moon Worship Sect. It is obviously impossible to say that Liu Zhong has no resentment towards Happy Happy, but from the perspective of the interests of the concubines of the Lunatic Sect and the overall situation, he must let go of the mustard in his heart and cooperate with Happy Happy.
If Liu Zhong used to advocate cooperation with Gaoxing, it was mostly based on his concern for the people of Limin, the inheritance of the legacy of the Lunatic Worship Sect's ancestors, and his appreciation of Gaoxing, but now it is mostly forced by the situation.
Liu Zhong has no way of knowing what kind of agreement he has reached with Baihua Palace, but the cooperation between the two is a fact. A Hundred Flowers Palace has already made the Lunatic Cult feel oh in crisis, not to mention the Cult's support for happiness. It is true that Yuan Tiangang didn't say anything or did anything, but it is a fact that he is friendly with Xingxing, but even if it is just a gesture, he can exert great energy.
Although Gao Changgong has not yet ascended the throne and claimed the emperor, Liu Zhong knows that this matter is not far off. On the surface, it seems that the princes of Qi are divided, and the situation is chaotic, but in fact, it is not.
It is not a secret that Wang Lin in the south and Gao Xing are friendly, and Dugu Yongye was originally ordered by Gao Wei to go north to quell the rebellion, but when Gao Yu was captured, he stopped and watched, such an ambiguous attitude, coupled with the fact that Gao Xing had gone to Luozhou, Dugu Yongye's position is self-evident.
In this way, except for Gao Shaoyi, who in the Qi country can compete with Gao Changgong, even if they are united, I am afraid that in front of Gao Changgong's elite army, they are just chickens and dogs, and they are vulnerable. It is conceivable that once Gao Changgong spreads the word to the world, all parts of the country will inevitably fall from the wind, but Gao Shaoyi will not be able to turn up the wind.
Of course, there are no absolutes. If the Turks and the Zhou State jointly sent troops, the situation of the Qi State was really worrying, although Liu Zhong admired the happiness, but he did not think that the happiness would definitely have the last laugh under the attack of the Turks and the Zhou State. However, neither for the Lunatic Cult nor for Liu Zhong himself, he did not want to be defeated in joy.
After hundreds of years of development, the Lunatic Cult has been integrated with this land, the Northern Qi Dynasty prospered, the Lunatic Religion itself prospered, and the Northern Qi Dynasty declined, although the Lunatic Religion will not die, but the decline is inevitable. The Turks are alien races, and if they go south to the Central Plains, they will inevitably have a heavy relationship with the Han Dynasty, and the Lunatic Worship Sect will definitely suffer an immeasurable blow. Moreover, the Lunatic Cult was founded by the ancestors of the Han nation, so how could Liu Zhong allow it to bow down to the alien race?
In this way, the Lunatic Cult and Happy Cooperation became the only option. However, the Lunatic Sect has not lost all the initiative, the Turks have formed an alliance with the Northern Zhou, Gao Changgong and his son must integrate all the forces of the Northern Qi as soon as possible, and with the help of the Lunatic Sect, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
Happy and Liu Zhong are both understanding people, and they deliberately showed their kindness to each other when they first met today.
Smiling lightly, Liu Zhong took a deep breath, his face became much more serious, and he paused before saying: "Little prince, the Turkic barbarians have always coveted my Central Plains and are immortal, I think our sect can help you!" ”
He chuckled happily and said solemnly and confidently: "With the help of your teaching, I will definitely be able to make the Turks come and go!" ”
After speaking, Xing Xing stared at Liu Zhong with burning eyes, and the latter also stared at him tightly, and after a long time, the two of them suddenly laughed loudly at the same time, and the laughter was full of joy.
"Hahahaha!"
……
In the hot summer, the weather is the most changeable. No, the morning is still scorching, and the wind is blowing and the clouds are accumulating. The thick inky clouds covered the earth heavily, and the oppressive atmosphere made the air even more dreary and damp, which made people inexplicably irritated.
"Boom—"
A flash of lightning slipped through the sky, and the bright arc of lightning was like a dragon with teeth and claws, terrible and hideous, as if it was about to tear the heavens and the earth apart, and at the same time, the huge thunder made the earthquake tremble, and everything trembled.
Hearing this muffled thunder, Gao Shaoyi's hands holding the teacup couldn't help shaking, the delicate and precious teacup suddenly fell off his hand, and fell to pieces on the ground, and the splashing tea stained Gao Shaoyi's luxurious robe, but fortunately, the tea was already cold, so he didn't burn him.
Looking at the bright and dazzling sky steadily, Gao Shaoyi's face was terrifyingly pale, and his eyes were full of panic, like a frightened bird, his hands trembled uncontrollably.
He was originally middle-aged, usually pampered, and should be well maintained, but he had sunken eyes, frowns, and looked quite haggard.
"Thunder? Could it be that the end of the lonely king is coming? No, it won't! Gao Changgong, you dare to kill me? Don't you really think of brotherhood? Looking at the flickering sky, Gao Shaoyi's face was cloudy, and he muttered in his mouth, and his voice was completely drowned out by the deafening thunder.
Gao Shaoyi is the son of Emperor Wenxuan, his status is extremely noble, and his status is also transcendent, he thought that he was named the king of Yan by Gao Wei, so that he could make a difference, but he never thought that the situation would take a turn for the worse, not only Gao Yanzong died, but even Gao Wei was forced to die by happiness.
Now, in the entire Daqi, Gao Changgong's family is dominant, and no one can compare with one of them. For more than a month, Gao Shaoyi recruited troops and made preparations early, just to be able to compete with Gao Changgong, who would have thought that before he could complete the preparations, the former had spread to the world and wanted to ascend the throne and become the emperor. What made Gao Shaoyi even more frightened was that not only Wang Lin led the crowd to respond, but even Dugu Yongye, who supported the army and respected himself, was also firmly supportive and willing to give up the power of the 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hand. In just half a month, in the entire Great Qi Empire, only the northeast of Yingzhou did not express its position.
Surrendering Gao Changgong Gao Shaoyi is unwilling, his status is not lower than the former, and his background is even much more noble than the former, but how can the country of the Gao clan be handed over to a despicable person? What's more, Gao Changgong has a gap with the Turks, and if he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, it will inevitably attract a large-scale attack by the Turks, causing the people of Li to fall into fire and water.
"Lord Wang, Yingzhou Thorn Shi asks to see you!" Just when Gao Shaoyi was constantly thinking in his heart, the sound of a cronie suddenly came from outside the door.
Gao Shaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly shouted: "Please come in!" Because of the excitement, Gao Shaoyi's voice was a little distorted.
After a short time, under the leadership of his cronies, a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a handsome face strode in, and respectfully saluted Gao Shaoyi: "Xiaguan Gao Baoning, see His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”
"Bao Ning, hurry up and be exempt!" Gao Shaoyi got up, helped Gao Baoning up, and said with a smile: "The widow has been waiting for you for a long time, you are finally here, please take a seat!" ”
Gao Baoning was a little flattered, and said respectfully: "Your Highness is loved, and your officials are afraid, Your Highness, please!" ”
After the two of them sat down, Gao Shaoyi said a little anxiously: "Baoning, how is Yingzhou now?" What do you think about the despicable man being called emperor? ”
Gao Baoning's eyes froze, and he glanced at Gao Shaoyi carefully, and then said: "All the officials are looking forward to His Royal Highness King Yan. After a pause, Gao Baoning said angrily: "The people are ignorant and mistakenly believe in that hypocrite, many people have applauded Gao Changgong as emperor these days, which really makes the officials angry!" ”
