Chapter 45: The Flowers on the Cake
The Illuminati is a mysterious organization that has existed in the Western Continent since the beginning of the Terran Yin, and it has never been visible on weekdays, and it is completely nowhere to be found, and its internal personnel will not exceed nine people in the past dynasties, but it is such a little person, but it has been stirring the world, and it can even be said that it interferes with the historical process of the entire Terran race.
The interior of the Western Continent, or the entire human race, can be summed up in eight words, that is, "a long time must be divided, a long time must be united", even if the empire is strong, it will not escape this fate, at most a few hundred or thousands of years of national fortune, and in the end it will definitely fall apart, either a foreign enemy, or internal strife, and then the heroes will rise together to compete for the deer, just like the current situation.
And every time there is a troubled time, there will suddenly be a number of powerful strategists, all of whom are looking forward to the world, have a long-term vision, have the ability to plan everything, and anticipate things like gods.
These people have only one goal, that is, to assist their chosen masters to rule the world again, establish a new regime, and wait for the world to be stable, and these people will quickly retreat in rapids, no matter how the monarch retains, they will not stay, but will disappear in the mountains and wilderness, disappearing, leaving only a good story in the world to be praised by the world.
These people are the people of the Illuminati, and it can even be said that behind the unification within the human race, there must be the shadow of the Illuminati, and no one knows their specific purpose, because no one will notice them at all, after all, good birds choose trees to perch, and in the troubled times, people with the ability to take refuge in the Ming Lord, show their ambitions, and leave behind a lie for the ages, which is what the world yearns for, which is very normal, and who will notice and doubt it?
Lu Yi actually didn't know what Gu Cang wanted to do, but since Gu Xuan had mentioned that he wanted to be an enemy of the family, it was even more impossible for Lu Yi to let Gu Xuan return to Beijing, because he clearly knew how powerful these families were, it can be said that they were the middle pillars of a country, if they were enemies of all the families, they were afraid that a dynasty would fall apart in an instantγ
He even suspected that Gu Cang might want to use Gu Xuan as his shield, while doing what he wanted, once he caused a counterattack from the outside world, he would immediately take out Xuan Gongzi to blame, but these thoughts could not be said to others, what kind of person Lu Yi was, even if he thought he was inferior to a few senior brothers and sisters, he was also the top wise man in the world, how could he not see Gu Xuan's feelings for the prince, as long as Gu Cang did not die, he would not be willing to establish himself as a king.
Now, only take one step at a time, many times, it is not the heroes who create the times, but the times that create heroes, under the general trend, the rolling waves, everyone is involuntarily moving forward, in the troubled times, who can maintain the original intention?
Just wait for the next day, for various reasons, Gu Xuan's mentality will inevitably change, which requires his own careful management, subtly changing him, and not attracting the slightest attention from him, otherwise his previous efforts will be wasted.
Just as the two of them were thinking separately, in the distance, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and the expressions of Jinglong and the other three standing outside suddenly became nervous.
Jinglong gently tugged at the reins, held the knife, and rode his horse in the opposite direction, wanting to find out who the person was.
Gu Xuan, who heard the movement, also drove his horse and Lu Yi to greet him.
"Who's coming?"
As soon as the words fell, the deep voice of Yan Keni on the opposite side instantly sounded: "It's me!"
I saw that under the opposite hillside, there were dozens of horsemen galloping over, and most of the people stationed in Kanmengan were infantry, and it was already very good to have these dozens of horsemen.
Running all the way from the border of Yanzhou, it is far from being as close as Huangsha County from here, and it is normal for a few people to wait for so long.
Gu Xuan hurriedly drove his horse away, hugged his fists loudly, and took the initiative to greet him: "General Wanyan, meet again!"
People on both sides hurriedly turned over and dismounted, showing respect to each other, at first Wanyan Keni still had a smile on his face, but as soon as they met, his complexion suddenly changed, showing a look of surprise, looking at Gu Xuan, frowning deeply, and stammering: "Lord Wang, you are γγγγγγ β
Of course, Gu Xuan knew what he wanted to ask, and he himself was quite calm about this, although he didn't like it in his heart, he still pretended to be casual and said: "As the letter said, after leaving General Wanyan last time, I was attacked by thieves on the road, and I picked up a life in nine deaths, but I also lost an eye. β
Wan Yan Keni's expression tightened when he heard this, this kind of thing, where did he behave so easily, he even had to wonder if this person had grown up in the palace since he was a child.
After all, since childhood, he has been a person who has been pampered and pampered, even if he can be ruthless and practice martial arts to get calloused, but it is impossible to see this kind of thing so indifferently, losing an eye, not to mention how much pain it is in the body, first of all, it will affect his eyesight, and secondly, it will also destroy the beauty of his face, and he will definitely be ridiculed and ridiculed behind his back.
Who can endure this kind of shame?
Why is the criminal law of the imperial court, the first heavy corporal punishment, either cutting off people's noses or carving words on people's faces?
Because the physical pain is temporary, but being pointed at by outsiders, the shame of gossiping behind your back is accompanied by a lifetime, this feeling is really worse than death, ordinary people encounter this situation, I am afraid that it is good not to go crazy directly, especially this kind of royal children who have not suffered any setbacks, even more so.
He could even imagine how dangerous the so-called attack was, and at the same time, he had a higher evaluation of this little prince in his heart, he just felt that this person was quite bold and scheming, and he was not a great person, and he was just cooperating with him for temporary interests and using each other, but now he felt that even if this person was excluded to this point and ended up like this, he would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.
The dragon swims in the shallows, the tiger falls in Pingyang, that is temporary, the real dragon encounters the wind and clouds, will ride the wind and rise, Buze the world.
Establishing a good relationship earlier is equivalent to making an investment early, according to a big businessman, this is called hoarding, suffering, in order to test his will.
Wanyan Keni's expression became a little more serious, and he said in a very solemn tone: "This is an oversight on the part of the subordinates, I hope that the prince will forgive me!"
Gu Xuan waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "I don't blame the general for this matter, there are a lot of outcasts, where is the light that can be killed, there is such a catastrophe, it is Xuan's life." β
When Wanyan Keni heard this, he was even more emotional, and couldn't help but sigh: "If the prince could have sent a guard to escort him that day, there might not have been such a disaster." β
Infantry escort? What's the use of that.
Hundreds of riders can play you around.
In this regard, Gu Xuan just said in a flat tone: "Don't talk about this matter, since we are talking about the alliance today, let's start quickly, and introduce to the general first, this is Mr. Lu." β
Lu Yi then took the initiative to step forward, bowed his head, and said humbly: "I am just a strategist under the prince, and I don't deserve to be called a gentleman, this time, I have seen the general." β
Wan Yan Keni raised his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with an outstanding temperament and a celebrity atmosphere, and secretly said that this person can be called Mr. by the little prince, and he also brought this place today, coupled with this outfit, it is the first to win people, it must not be simple, and he also returned the salute very solemnly at the moment: "After finishing Yan Keni, I have seen Mr. Lu!"
After the two sides exchanged a few more greetings, Gu Xuan turned his head, stretched out his hand to the back, and introduced: "General Wanyan, you have also seen the place, after the people on my side, it is estimated that this piece of ore vein, just on the surface, is enough to support an army of 10,000 people!"
As he spoke, he pointed to several other directions in a row, opened his mouth to explain to him, and roughly outlined the direction of the entire ore vein explored by the Wang family miners, and then said, "What does General Wanyan think?"
Wanyan Keni nodded lightly, and immediately said solemnly: "I naturally believe in the prince, but I think it's quite inappropriate to divide the eighty-two points I said before." β
When the people next to him heard this, their faces suddenly changed, especially Jing Long and the others, who secretly said that this person was so rude, and he even had to temporarily regret it at this time, wouldn't it be to deceive no one on their side?
Unexpectedly, before Gu Xuan's side could speak, Wanyan Keni immediately said: "I am willing to give in again and share one percent of the profits to the prince, I just want to make friends with the prince." β
If the county guard Pu Dingbo is here, he will definitely not agree with this person's bold idea, very simple, because your so-called friends, although it seems that the negotiations are not deep, but in the eyes of outsiders with a heart, it is naked to stand in line, before figuring out the specific situation, bet so early, and don't know who will offend, this is an extremely stupid approach, they are far away from the whirlpool of power in the capital, and the people who are safely guarding the border should not be like this.
Gu Xuan was also stunned, glanced at Lu Yi and the two, and then smiled: "General Wanyan and I are already friends. β
"Hahahaha. Wanyan Keni couldn't help laughing, and then stretched out his palm, and said, "The reason why I didn't want to high-five the prince last time was because in the tradition of our Yanzhou people, the oath of high-fives is an extremely important oath and must not be violated, so you must not easily high-five people for an alliance, but this time I sincerely invite the prince to high-five for an alliance, how about it?"
In fact, this means that he didn't treat you as a true friend before, but when Gu Xuan heard it, he didn't care much, so he raised his hand and laughed: "Why not?"
After many days, the two hands collided in the air again, and Wanyan Keni nodded lightly and said: "In this way, this is finalized, and I will immediately go back and send my men to settle in and open up the entire route for the prince." β
When Gu Xuan heard this, he immediately wondered: "If you want to protect the entire route, you need too many people, the general can't be careless, and Kanmeng'an can't afford to lose." β
Although he hopes to use the power of Wanyan Keni to dig out a large amount of ore and equip the entire army, he doesn't want Wanyan Keni to lose a lot of money, once something happens to Kanmeng'an, Hulan County and even the entire Yanzhou will suffer, it is indeed a confidential place, and there is no room for the slightest relaxation.
His original plan was to let Wanyan Keni send a group of people to station here, help escort it, dig out a batch of ore, and send a batch, in this case, in fact, not too many people will be needed, far less than guarding the entire line.
But he didn't want to finish Yan Keni just smiled mysteriously and said: "At this time, the prince doesn't have to worry, the prince's future friend is not only me." β
