Chapter 202: Yin and Yang Contract
"Waiting for reinforcements? What reinforcements? ”
Thorsen wondered very much, it stands to reason that this person is so capable, knowing that the rebel army is not sending troops, he should quickly dispatch troops, strategize, and travel thousands of miles, how can he seem to be overstretched?
It's not that Zhou Yu doesn't want to move the rescuers, it's just that three days, three days is too short. Now his only hope is on 139, who was sent out by him on a special mission, calculating the time, this kid should have returned to Butterfly City to join him a long time ago. It's just that after falling into the chain of Cuo Ling and Nika, everything was disrupted.
"Enter the city first and then make plans. Torson, foot fly, will you follow me into the city or stay put? ”
"Of course, it's with the adults...
Thorson was the fastest, and as soon as he spoke, he felt a little obvious, and stuck out his tongue in disdain. Old immortal, your focus is not on whether to enter the city or not, but to accompany Lord Carney. You can't go west if he goes east, and you can't bark a chicken if he teases a dog, this is the death order of the commander-in-chief.
Horses are too eye-catching, so they found a hidden place outside the city to tie the horses and move into Butterfly City. Needless to say, the place to stay is definitely the hot spring bathing center.
"Master, are you old?"
As soon as Xiao Eryi saw Zhou Yu, he greeted him with a happy face, dusting himself and serving tea. This guest officer is not simple, every time he comes in a big way, not to mention how much he spends, the tips alone are ten times more generous than others.
"It's the same as last time."
Zhou Yusai gave him a handful of chestnuts, and didn't wait for Xiao Er to lead the way, he turned against the guest and went straight upstairs.
"Okay, sir! The water is still so hot? ”
"Well, some more food and drink, as always."
"Gotcha, sir! You're good to go! ”
Thorson and Flyfly must have been in this kind of place for the first time, and their eyes were dripping and swirling, especially when they saw the huge pool of steaming steam, and they were happy to bubble their noses, and they jumped into it.
The Metropolitan Governor didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he first called Ma Partridge to his side and gave him a few words. Although this kid has a low rank, he is better than having a clear mind and a sharp soles under his feet, and he can rest assured that everything will be handed over to him.
Then, he sat down on the wicker chair, Tarzan and Jaeron sat on his right and left very acquiescing, and the three of them frowned and disgusted the two of them who were humming and bathing in the pool.
"Governor, what next?"
"Yes, Grand Duke. Our people are in the hands of that Nika, and now there is not a single soldier in the hands, how can we go down to the city to replace people? ”
"Metropolitan Governor, where is this Nika the girl we knew before? It's just a female devil! ”
"Metropolitan Governor, I briefly assessed the city defense of Butterfly City when I passed by just now, and it is definitely difficult to shake her without 18,000 people."
"That's it!"
Although they were all muttering quietly, Zhou Yu still stretched out his hand to stop the two. Their doubts are also his own; They found it incredible, and the Metropolitan even more unacceptable. Now is not the time to turn over old accounts, write summaries, and plan for the future.
"There are two more pairs of eyes around us, and we are definitely not so comfortable doing work. But fortunately, there are still three days to go. Although it is rare to see soldiers who surrender without a fight, it is not uncommon. As long as you have enough chips in your hand, the emperor can commit himself to give you a bath! ”
Zhou Yuyu is not shocking and endless, Jielang and Taishan are very clear, but the current situation is urgent and imminent, does the Metropolitan Governor really have a way to persuade the Wing Clan to give up Butterfly City?
"Taishan, you take my seal and map, and go north to find it. If you find a large number of Scorpion Knights, show this to their leader and tell them that I asked you to pick it up. After the rendezvous, don't startle the snake. I need this force to hide on the side of the rebel stronghold and surround it. Surround but not fight, surround but not show! ”
"Jaelan, I have saved some chestnuts and amber here, you go out into the streets and scatter these money and goods, and buy beggars, blind streams, and vagrants in large numbers, the more the better, the more miscellaneous the better, it is better to gather them, and in two days it will come in handy."
"Okay!"
"The subordinates have orders!"
"Go ahead!"
Tarzan and Jay Lang also left the bathing center one after another after walking on the front foot of the partridge. At the moment, there are only Zhou Yu who is thinking with his eyes closed and the two big men in the pool who are naked.
Thorson and Flyfly were ostensibly bathing, but in fact their eyes never took their eyes off Lord Carney for a second. He sent all his subordinates out to do errands, and the two didn't care, as long as Master Carney was in sight, it was enough.
After all, the Commander-in-Chief's orders were directed at him, not at his minions.
"Oh, Master Carney. You've chosen a good place, or you're going to enjoy it! Tasteful! ”
"yes, yes!"
"I don't have the heart to resist you here, I'm going to go to Miyagi next, will you come?"
"This..."
Although Thorson and Flyfly tried every means to obstruct them, they could not stop the Grand Governor. These two people have ghosts in their hearts, and their origins are not clean, and most of them are sure that they will not dare to appear in front of the Wing Clan elders casually, in case any of them are not long-sighted to recognize them, it will be a big deal and a small matter, and it will not be very beautiful to cut off their heads. After all, over the years, the rebel army has done many things such as "releasing cold arrows", "robbing the rich and helping the poor", and "stealing chickens and dogs".
A few minutes after the soldiers in charge of delivering the message entered, several old men dressed in retro clothes with serious expressions appeared in front of the palace gate and welcomed the Metropolitan Governor in. This was the first time since the death of the wasted ostrich that he had returned to the hall that had amazed the audience, and the people in front of him were all witnesses of the time.
"Uh, Master Carney. On behalf of all members of the Wing Presbyterian Church, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your feat that day. ”
"No need, I promised the matter of the abolition patriarch, which is within my bounds. Of course, that doesn't change anything. In the end, in the end... Alas, you mourn and change! ”
"There is still a difference, if it weren't for the adults who exposed the conspiracy of the soft dragon, I'm afraid the Wing Clan would have become the fragrant meat of Cuo Ling's mouth now, and we old guys don't know if there is a life!"
Another older elder ushered Zhou Yu into the table, and a dozen or so people sat down in a circle.
"Oh, this time I came down to discuss something important. Before that, I would like to ask the elders, is there a candidate for the new patriarch? ”
Sure enough, as Zhou Yu expected, the elders stared at each other with big eyes, small eyes turned and closed their eyes, and their expressions were wandering and flickering, and they didn't dare to answer head-on.
"You haven't been selected yet, have you?"
"Lord Carney, the position of patriarch has always been hereditary, and there is no precedent for selection since ancient times. This time the waste ostrich family suddenly changed, and it was not difficult for all the adult people to reach a consensus, and it was reasonable that they could not reach a consensus for a while. ”
"Oh, dare to ask the elder's name?"
"In Xiapu mosquito, I have seen adults."
This Pu mosquito can answer directly face-to-face without consulting others, which shows that he is the leading figure in the presbyterian church. And when Pu Yan and Zhou Yu were talking, the two old men who were sitting at the farthest distance showed disdain on their faces.
"Dare to ask your Excellency, what do you call you?"
"Don't dare to be, in Shimomatsu Crane!"
"There is Lord Lao, under the quail!"
"Since I mentioned just now that all the adults are killed, does it mean that there are minors in the abolition family?"
"Exactly!"
Songhe and Cotton Quail answered at the same time, they rushed ahead of Pu Mosquito, one pouted and glanced at everyone angrily, and the other did not look at Zhou Yu but stared at Pu Mosquito who was just about to speak.
"Uh, Master Carney. This is a family affair of our Wing Clan! It's not as good as, it's not as good ... ”
"Family matters? Pu Yan, do you think that if you form a faction in the presbyterian church and there are many people, we are afraid that you will not succeed? Don't think we don't know what you're up to, don't you just want to push your son to the throne? ”
"That's enough, Matsutsuru!"
"Afraid of what? Do you have the courage to do it and don't dare to listen to it? Qi Bee is a person who has children, and the outline often discusses the law * historical scriptures, and they should be succeeded by others. What, are you really confused or pretending to be confused? ”
Zhou Yu sat there, clapping his chin with one hand and rubbing his chin with the other. He understood why the Wing Clan had not been able to choose a successor for a long time. In terms of rules, the heir of the strange bee should succeed him, but he has dealt with the strange bee, this person is in his early twenties at best, and even if he has children, he should be fostered in Slaughter Dream City now. When and if it will be able to return to the nest is unknown.
And there is nothing wrong with the most powerful Pu Yan in the Council of Elders wanting to push his son to succeed to the throne, since a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity appears in front of him, if he doesn't make good use of it to update his generation and add a yellow robe, what is the difference between him and a fool? The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, which is a confused account.
The Governor didn't care who would wield the Winged Bull's Ear, he only cared about how to quickly, quickly, and efficiently rescue the hostages he was holding with the rebels.
"Hey, is the strange bee a queen?"
"Uh, this...
Pu Yan glanced at Songhe and the two and did not continue.
"Lord Carney, the Strange Bee does have an heir. Back then, because of this child, he was almost beaten to death by a scrap ostrich! ”
"Oh?"
Zhou Yu looked at the quail who answered, raised his chin and motioned for him to continue, this kind of wild history he likes to listen to the most.
"However, the strange bee has not yet married a wife, and this child is the result of the strange bee's drunken disorderly sex with a small maid. The little maid had a thin life, and she collapsed and died on the day of childbirth, leaving only a boy. ”
"Oh? So this boy should be in Dream Butcher City now? ”
"Definitely!"
The quail cleared his throat and glanced at the group of elders with no one in his eyes, as if he were the only one who had witnessed it.
"Qi Bee wants to send the child to Tu Meng City, but in this way, this child will become the eldest grandson of the waste ostrich and the eldest son of Qi Bee, and he will inherit the position of patriarch in the future. Therefore, the scrap ostrich resolutely disagreed, and finally pressed it down. ”
"Press it down, the child is still in Butterfly City?"
"No, he was sent to Xi'er...
"What?"
This answer surprised Zhou Yu, he didn't expect that the strange bee's indiscriminate sowing was actually left for himself, and the unintentional act of the waste ostrich actually gave his minor grandson the possibility of succession. It's really a mountain that doesn't turn around, it's always better to be there than in Slaughter Dream City, and the ghost knows that he won't be able to come back.
The most ugly face of the people in the audience was the Pu mosquito, the little old man was dreaming of the yellow sorghum that would not rise to the sky, but he never expected that in the vote that needed to be passed by all, the pine crane and the cotton quail did not agree. But there is no way, what people say is reasonable, the strange bee does have a future in the world, and the innovation that does not exhaust the means is to play hooligan.
"Lord Carney, you are also a benevolent person to my Wing Clan. We can't fight for a fresher result, if you give a break, which is right and which is wrong! ”
Songhe slapped the table on the mountain, sure enough, the desireless are fearless, he and the cotton quail dare to let outsiders judge the case like this, but Pu Yan doesn't dare, after all, he has selfish intentions.
Zhou Yu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, everyone's eyes focused on his face.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, startling others.
"Well, I'm not here to find you the little prince, but I have something to ask for!"
More than a dozen elders all shook their heads and sighed, but only Pu Yan flattened his mouth. At this time, if there is no external force to intervene, the final result is likely to be in favor of one's own side.
"However, according to what I can see, this turmoil can be easily resolved."
"Oh?"
"Since the qualified heir is still alive, it is time to welcome him back. Yu Gong, worthy of your ancestors and hereditary traditions; For selfishness, it can be regarded as an explanation to the waste ostrich and the strange bee father and son, right? ”
"yes!"
"It stands to reason that this is how it should be!"
"Well, though, the child will be in trouble when he comes back. Elder Pu Yan is not unreasonable to worry about, how can a child succeed to the throne? After succeeding to the throne, how to report back to Tianyin City and Cuo Ling? Everyone knows about the Killing Order, if this kid is allowed to take over the shift in name only, wouldn't it mean to start a fight and fight with Cuo Ling? Is that really good? Are you Wing Clan ready to fight the Central Army to the death? ”
"That's right, what Master Carney said is exactly what the old man is worried about!"
This time, the one who holds the stinky feet is replaced by a simple mosquito. Zhou Yu glanced at the crowd and summarized the micro-expressions that came back, and only the three of them really cared about this matter. That is, everyone else is a wall-header.
"There's a less mature suggestion here, it's not the best of both worlds, but it can solve the problem at hand."
"I want to hear it!"
These words came out again, and Zhou Yu pinched his nose.
"If the child is still alive, healthy and thriving, it is natural that he should be brought back as the best candidate for the patriarch. Of course, this necessary condition is based on the fact that he is still alive. Right? ”
Everyone nodded in unison, including the three old stubborns.
"Well, if the first point is true, what will happen when you bring him back? Do you make a big deal of it? You won't, that's too irrational, Tianyin City and Cuo Ling will immediately send troops to encircle and suppress you in the name of suppressing bandits, and the other four clans will not interfere. Why? Because you broke the rules. Right? ”
"How can you literally not break the rules, but secretly display the warehouse behind the scenes? The third point is that I suggest that you raise this child secretly, and that the people here keep him alive, bring him back, and secretly cultivate these serial secrets in their stomachs, until one day he grows up and can take over in the name of righteousness. ”
"As for the fourth point, how to report to Tianyin City, there is a talk in it. I suggest that you report the name of Pu Yan, and say that he is the best candidate for the patriarch because he has both ability and political integrity, and is old-fashioned, which is a yang contract. And Pu Yan signed a yin contract with the Elders, which means that he is only the regent patriarch, and when the child grows up, he will return the power to Yusi, and he will never transgress half a point. ”
"Yin-Yang contract?"
A dozen old fellows muttered to themselves that they had not only never heard of this new thing, but that it was difficult to understand. Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders, rare and strange!
"Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the child is still alive. If a child dies young, that's a different story. ”
At this moment, he beckoned to the cloudy face of Pu Mosquito and motioned for him to lean over.
"Elder Pu Yan, I advise you to accept this plan first. Otherwise, there are two people who are not willing to poke there, and your efforts will be in vain! It's hard to say where the next thing will go! ”
Zhou Yu winked at him, and there was a lot of content in it.
"Good!"
Mosquitoes, cranes, and quails shouted almost at the same time.
