Huan Wu's voice echoed in the hall, but Xia Yunqi did not answer.

"Yang Xian!"

Huan Wu bit the name, and the slightest hatred was there, and the other three people could feel it. Compared to the long-term fear that Yang Ci brought him, and the distant back that Yang Zhong gave him, Yang Xian was the opponent who really stood in front of him and the Huan clan.

Huan Wu could not forget that it was precisely because of Yang Xian's existence that the trend of the Liang army dominating the world was abruptly interrupted, and it changed from the original strategic offensive to the current strategic defense.

A few days ago, the Shu army entered Kou Yongzhou, and the shock in Huan Wu's heart was far more than the huge loss on the surface.

Under Cangqiu City, on the shore of Weishui, the two armies of Liang and Shu were completely evenly matched. Under the command of Yang Xian, the Shu army completed the transformation from the original strategic defense to the strategic offensive in less than a year.

A few years ago, it would have been inconceivable that an army under the world would be able to force the Liang army to such an extent in a frontal battle.

"Yang Xian is indeed the great enemy of the Huan clan, but time is not with him."

"Maybe!" Xia Yunqi's words did not resist much, and they acquiesced to Huan Wu's words, "But after all, it is man-made." ”

Huan Wu shook his head, a little sad, "No matter what, the situation at that time, the old minister can't see it after all." I remembered that more than 20 years ago, when the old minister and His Majesty met, His Majesty was wearing a hemp skirt, but it was difficult to hide his bearing. His Majesty has a tough personality, which is rare in the life of an old minister. ”

When Huan Wu said this, he paused, his eyes flashed, and his face was covered with a layer of smile, as if he was proud, as if he was rejoicing, and as if he was regretting.

"If the first emperor can have His Majesty's means, then why can this world become a hunting ground for our princes to cannibalize? The biggest mistake of the first emperor was that he should not believe in Yang Ci. ”

"Bold! Huan Wu, as a minister, you dare to talk about the first emperor! ”

Fang Chang Shi glared angrily and scolded bluntly. As a servant of the Xia family, Fang Changzhi also came from that era and followed Xia Hengye's father and daughter for a lifetime.

Now the four people in this temple are all old acquaintances, but they are competing against each other.

"Did Liang Hou finally say it?"

There was no surprise in Xia Yunqi's expression, and Huan Wu's ambition was undoubtedly exposed at this moment.

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Huan Wu is the minister of the Zhou family after all, and this will not change at any time. What is the use of the throne for a person who is about to die? ”

Huan Wu didn't move, but the momentum on his body had changed. He is still the same rickety, but he is sharp. It was Fang Changshi, the strongest cultivator in the temple, and his heart was also shocked.

"But Your Majesty also knows that the general trend of the world will not change because of the death of Lao Chen."

The so-called general trend is the upper limit of strength between Liang and Shu and the strength and fault tolerance that both sides can withstand pressure. The Liang State controlled the seven states of the Central Plains, and the Liang army numbered one million. Even if Zhou Nan was defeated, Huan Biao's 250,000 Guanzhong troops were wiped out, and the veterans of a hundred battles in the Liang army suffered heavy losses for more than ten years.

But after all, it will only take three years, and Guanzhong will have an army of 100,000 again, and the upper rhino cavalry will be established at that time.

Although the defeat of the Liang army was disastrous, it was not irretrievable. But the Shu army is different, the military strength of Shu has more than 200,000, and there are only more than 200,000.

It is a great master like Yang Chun and Tong Gu, but the national strength of Shu is there, and the upper limit is there, coupled with the natural danger of Shu, the Liang army attacking Shu and the Shu army attacking Liang are definitely two difficulties, and there is a world of difference.

The confrontation between Liang and Shu will last for a long time, and then maintain this momentum, and the final winner will be Liang Guo. This is the natural advantage of Liang Jun.

"The old minister will go to Jiuquan, but he doesn't want to watch the world fall into chaos again and repeat the mistakes of the past."

Huan Wu ignored his illness and laughed loudly, resounding in the temple. Huan Wu's appearance was extremely arrogant, and he said with a smile: "Yang Ci foresaw that troubled world, but he had no will to change at all. Loyal Ministers! What is a loyal servant? Yang You'an has the ability to change all this, but he insists on competing with Yuan Shoucheng, seeing that the world is all over the place, but he is indifferent. And I, Huan Wu, with blood in my hands, sacrificed my life and forgot to die for decades, supported Sheji, and finally pacified the Central Plains and returned tens of millions of people to peace. But in the hearts and mouths of Your Majesty and the people of the world, the long-dead general is still a loyal minister, and I am a traitor bent on usurping the throne. Ha! Big joke. ”

Zhao Ye looked at Huan Wu, his expression was very complicated, but he was still silent after all.

Huan Wu's mood gradually calmed down, and his face returned to calm.

"Qianqiu ruined my reputation, the world evaluated, I don't care anymore, and I don't need to care. Lao Chen just wants to ask His Majesty here, what did Yang Xian and Zhong Buqi talk about? ”

Yang Xian was jealous of Huan Wu, and so was Zhong Buqi. These two people who shouldn't have intersected got together, so Huan Wu had to pay attention to it.

Huan Wu's eyes were scorching, and he faced Xia Yunqi directly. At that moment, he saw the surprise in Xia Yunqi's eyes.

"I don't know."

Xia Yunqi gently confided these four words, and his expression was the same as before.

Huan Wu smiled, and did not ask too many questions, he could see that Xia Yunqi was not lying. In other words, there was no third person in the world who knew about the secret conversation in the small courtyard in the mountains, except for Yang Xian and Zhong Buqi.

"When Yang Xian infiltrated the Divine Capital, His Majesty sealed him a 600-stone counselor. The old minister never knew what His Majesty's son was for. It wasn't until I found out that Yang Xian and Zhong Buqi had a secret meeting that I understood. Half a piece of cake, Your Majesty is really well-intentioned. ”

Huan Wu smiled bitterly, thinking lightly in his heart, that is to say, Xia Yunqi is just the key to these two people being able to get together, but she can't influence these two people.

Thinking of this, the worries and suspicions in Huan Wu's heart became heavier and heavier.

These two people, one is the head of the world's top sect, the Miluo Sect, and the other is the prince who is in charge of the great politics of Shu and has an army of 200,000.

When they got together, for Huan Wu, it was tantamount to a crisis that was enough to destroy the beam. Helplessly, Huan Wu is far from understanding this crisis to the extent he should have.

is the mastermind behind this secret meeting, and he can't even control it. Xia Yunqi started all this, but neither Yang Xian nor Zhong Buqi would let Xia Yunqi know the next development.

Everything is shrouded in fog, and it becomes more and more difficult to see. Eventually, Huan Wu sighed.

"That's it! It's useless to worry about it now. What happens in the future is not something I can control. ”

Huan Wu bowed to Xia Yunqi, trembled, and said: "The ministers should stay away, and your Majesty may not see you again, I hope Your Majesty will cherish it." ”

After speaking, Huan Wu slowly left this hall with Zhao Ye's support.
