Chapter 71 Don't move, it's me
Rong Xiuxing's eyes flashed, and he withdrew the hand that was placed on the table and put it in front of him in a dignified manner, with a humble attitude but not humble or arrogant: "Although Qin Rong read a few books less when he was young and knew a few words, he has been traveling since the accident at home, and he doesn't know much about the capital or even Qingyun Mountain, so he doesn't dare to give advice lightly. However, if the big boss had to say something about Qin Rong, then Rong Xiu would have to get an axe and simply tell the big boss and the brothers what he had seen and felt recently! ”
The big boss made a gesture of please, Rong Xiu stretched out his hand and waved his sleeve, slowly stood up, his eyes shining under the lights in the front hall: "Everyone knows that the Baili Dynasty has gone through six generations of monarchs and ministers since the beginning of the Yulie King who opened up the territory, from Baita River in the east, Qingyunding in the west, Nanluowan in the south, and the Zhen border in the north, which can be described as a vast territory. Moreover, the small countries around it still have the intention of returning to the court, and the future is limitless. ”
"But," he said, "at the same time, some criticisms are becoming more and more prominent. After six generations of monarchs, the territory has expanded, the population has become more prosperous, and life has become more stable. Except for a few border areas where there were frequent battles, most of the rivers and mountains of the Baili Dynasty were peaceful. Although the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, they also began to promote some extravagance and laziness, especially in the capital and Nanling. To today's Emperor Ling, except for the Rong clan in Beijing, the rest of the troops are basically civil officials, and the hundreds of miles up and down are basically civil officials who can't resist and can't mention, and they are experts in quarrels, but once the external intrusion and internal enemy are simply on paper, it is difficult to parry with the Rong clan alone! ”
Saying this, he cleared his throat: "Moreover, now that Emperor Ling is over the age of sixteen, both energy and physical strength are very limited, although the prince has been supporting for many years, but as early as three years ago, there was a great drought in the suburbs of Beijing, and the prince was ordered to govern it inappropriately, causing hundreds of thousands of displaced people to flock to the capital together, and once fought against each other. After this incident, both Emperor Ling and other ministers of the imperial court were very dissatisfied with the crown prince. On the contrary, in recent years, other princes have made remarkable achievements, made great achievements, and were ambitious. It won't be long before Emperor Ling abdicates, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble on the question of who will succeed him! ”
He paused suddenly, stretched out his index finger and put a little on the table: "And for us Qingyun Mountain, this is precisely the time when we develop and grow." The terrain of Qingyun Mountain is complex, rich in copper and iron, although our weapons today are from outside the mountain, but if we can master the method of building troops, I am afraid that Qingyun Mountain, a treasure of feng shui, will sit firmly. After the strength grows, and then match up with a certain prince in Beijing, it will inevitably benefit in the future! ”
Yan Xiaoyun was very shocked when Rong Xiu said it, although she knew that he was revealing the plan in his own way to lure this group of bandits into the bait, but when she heard that he analyzed the shortcomings of the Baili Dynasty, she still sweated for him. However, after listening to the words, except for the last saying that he wanted to match up with a certain prince and led to the plan set up with the Nine Emperor Princes in advance, what he said was actually known to everyone for a long time. It is suggested that Qingyun Mountain make weapons, although it seems to be a strategy for Qingyun Mountain, but mining requires a lot of manpower, and it is actually used to weaken the bandits.
When pondering carefully, this remark only seems to hit the nail on the head, but the more substantive content Rong Xiu did not reveal it, and it was difficult to implement.
However, his last sentence obviously captured the heart of the big boss, and the big boss's eyes obviously lit up, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.
The big boss slapped his palm: "Sure enough, he was born in a scholarly family, and Brother Qin sees the problem thoroughly!" Especially the last sentence, it is simply in line with what I am thinking! ”
I saw him raise his right hand high, snap his fingers in the air, and after a crisp sound, the bamboo curtain connecting the front hall and the back hall was lifted from the inside, and a man slowly walked out!
Yan Xiaowei fixed her eyes and saw that it was actually the Nine Emperor Princes!
Unlike last time at night, he was now dressed in a moon-white robe, and his unkempt hair had been combed and tied upright on the top of his head, revealing a smooth and broad forehead. Although his skin was still pale, his peaceful eyes seemed to be infused with an aura, and with the cold temperament around him, a natural nobility arose.
The big boss slowly stood up and stood side by side with the Nine Emperor Princes: "Last time there was a fire in the main hall, Hui Ling once made up a hexagram, saying that a green dragon had landed on Qingyun Mountain, and this green dragon would compete with the white dragon in Beijing in the future!" Don't hide it from everyone here, this green dragon is the one next to me - the Nine Emperor Princes! ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone except Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyu was deeply surprised.
Ah Feng glanced at the Nine Emperor Princes and then at the big boss: "Why did this kid come out, isn't he locked up in the firewood room!" ”
The big boss suddenly frowned, and scolded in a deep voice: "There are no rules!" This is the Nine Emperor Princes today, is this kid' your name? Quickly make amends to the Nine Emperor Princes! ”
Although Ah Feng was dissatisfied with this superior Nine Emperor Princes who appeared out of thin air, he still bowed his head because of the face of the big boss.
The Nine Emperor Princes waved his hand quite generously: "It turns out that my Baili Ye Su is a prisoner of Qingyun Mountain, and it is not an exaggeration to be called 'this kid'. It's just that now I'm determined to follow the advice of the big boss, advance and retreat with us Qingyun Mountain, and create a great cause together as the Nine Emperor Princes, so I still have to talk about this identity! ”
The people present looked at each other, and hurriedly got up and saluted the Nine Emperor Princes: "The grass people have seen the Nine Emperor Princes, and the Nine Emperor Princes are a thousand years old!" ”
The Nine Emperor Princes raised their hands thoughtfully, and Yan Xiaoyu was almost confused by this scene. Rong Xiu had warned her to be more wary of the Nine Emperors before, and she couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, didn't this guy really defect to the enemy?
However, Rong Xiu beside her was very calm, and he saluted the Nine Emperors seriously, and the slogan was shouted very loudly, Yan Xiaoyun looked at it, and then calmed down.
The big boss invited the Nine Emperor Princes into the banquet: "The main purpose of today's banquet is to tell everyone good news!" The Nine Emperor Princes agreed to form an alliance with us to negotiate with the palace and assign the ten towns in the northeast to our Qingyun Mountain. When he returns to Beijing, he will accumulate strength, cooperate with us in Qingyun Mountain, and compete with other princes! When he succeeds in sitting on the throne, we will definitely not be disadvantaged! ”
The big boss raised the wine bottle high: "Tomorrow, I will send someone down the mountain to release the news that the Nine Emperor Princes are in the hands of our mountain to the officials!" ”
Speaking of this, he was a little excited: "Brothers, the time has come for us to do a big job in Qingyun Mountain!" ”
The atmosphere rose all of a sudden, Yan Xiaowei sat silently for a while, and seeing that the people around her had begun to toast each other, she reached out and pulled the corner of Rong Xiu's clothes, whispered a word to him and slipped out of the front hall while people were not paying attention.
The air in the mountains at night is exceptionally fresh, and it is rare that there is no rain or fog on this day, and the bright stars above the sky are big and bright as if they are about to pour down in an instant. But under such a view, she was a little inexplicably depressed, she didn't know when the days of worrying in Qingyun Mountain would end, and she didn't know if the Nine Emperor Princes were with her. In case he really colluded with Qingyun Mountain, then Rong Xiu and them must have a tough battle to fight.
She took a deep breath and shook her head, no matter what, she still had to prepare the gunpowder as soon as possible, no matter what, she had to help Rong Xiu and end the undercurrent here as soon as possible.
After standing for about a pillar of incense, the sound of the group of people in the front hall could still be heard shouting in her ears, Yan Xiaowei was a little worried about Rong Xiu, if someone got him drunk and unveiled the mask of Yi Xiang, it would be broken, she had to hurry back to the front hall and stare at it!
Thinking so, she limped and walked down the secluded gravel path to the antechamber.
As soon as he stepped on the stone steps, suddenly there was an inexplicable aura approaching him, and Yan Xiaowei was just about to turn his head, and his eyes and mouth were skillfully covered!
The man behind him half-hugged her and pulled her whole body to the right, Yan Xiaoyi's center of gravity shifted, and she rolled down with him when she was unsteady on her feet.
Her face and body hurt from the bushes and weeds around her, but fortunately, the person behind her, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, supported the back of her head with big hands, forming a protective posture.
The two of them fell to a relatively flat place, and the two of them finally stopped.
There was an unfamiliar breath between her nose, Yan Xiaowei was frightened, and hurriedly reached out and clenched her fist and smashed it on the man's face without saying anything.
When it came to the second punch, her hand was suddenly intercepted by the man in mid-air, only to hear him "hiss" and whisper: "Don't move, it's me!" ”
Hearing this voice, Yan Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Nine Emperor Princes?" ”
The Nine Emperor Princes let go of the two hands around her waist and behind her head, and nodded: "It's me!" ”
Yan Xiaoyun squinted her eyes, borrowed the moonlight to take a closer look at the man's face, it was really the Nine Emperor Princes, and she was even more surprised: "Didn't you drink with that group of people in the front hall, why did you suddenly come out!" Besides, why did you suddenly stop me halfway and scare me! ”
Maybe it was because the punch just now hurt too much, he sat up and raised his hand to keep rubbing his chin: "I saw you sneaking out, so I came out with me." ”
Yan Xiaoyu rolled her eyes: "What are you doing with me?" ”
The Nine Emperors pulled her to stand up from the grass, stretched out his hand and patted the ashes on her body: "I now pretend to agree to that group of bandits, and now I have moved out of the firewood house to a side room opposite the big boss's house, although I am free to move, but there are people everywhere to watch, and it is very inconvenient to speak, so I took the opportunity to secretly contact you today." ”
His face suddenly became solemn, and he said the main topic: "In exchange for the alliance with those people, the big boss told me the whereabouts of the Gu people. ”
