Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Heart Is Quiet and the Wind Doesn't Stop
Why did he come? Liang Yue was startled, subconsciously took a step back, and watched Emperor Ming Xuan slowly walk over and stop in front of her.
"Can I think that it was a coincidence that you met this person here?" Xuanyuan Zili looked at Liang Yue's eyes coldly and asked with a smile.
Liang Yue pursed her lips and glanced at Feng Xun, who shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "It's not a coincidence, I've been with her for a long time." ”
This tone was arrogant, half joking and half serious, and Xuanyuan Zi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard it. Been following for a long time? Has this palace become a place where he can come and go freely? With Gu Liangyue's martial arts, can't you find out if you're being followed? I'm afraid that the two of them are quite compatible, so let's practice martial arts here?
When he came out of Kunning Palace, he asked the direction of Dark Guard Liangyue, and followed all the way to finish the unfinished words on the table. This is good, as soon as I came, I saw that she was learning martial arts with the assassins, and the two looked damn tacit, they were really from the rivers and lakes, so they were used to making piles, right?
Liang Yue listened to Feng Xun's words, and wanted to laugh inexplicably, this person spoke without proportion, but it unexpectedly made her feel very good, especially when she saw Emperor Mingxuan's not very good-looking face, the last bit of gloom in her heart slowly dissipated. It was clear by now that Feng Xun was a friend and foe.
"Does the emperor want to call someone?" Liang Yue tilted her head and asked with a smile.
Xuanyuan Zili looked at Feng Xun with a calm face, and when he heard the words, he snorted coldly: "What do I ask people to do?" Capture this assassin? It's better for me to do it myself, so as not to hurt the devil's life again. ”
As soon as the words fell, the emperor set off towards the position where Feng Xun was standing, his figure was extremely fast, and Feng Xun had no time to retreat, so he could only slap him hard, and a few turned over and landed on the ground three zhang away.
"Tsk, you really deserve to be the emperor, you are born so domineering." Feng Xun laughed, took the emperor's tricks, and began to see the moves. Both of them are martial arts and don't use other weapons, so they fight like this. It didn't look so bloody, but the withered bamboos that swept up all over the ground were flying all over the sky, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.
Liang Yue watched from the side, hesitating whether to step forward, but thinking about what Feng Xun said just now, he always felt that his so-called task should still be related to the emperor. Feng Xun is a smart person, since he didn't kill Emperor Mingxuan, and said that he had a task, then he would definitely find a chance to complete it himself. Rather than persuading, Liang Yue is more curious about what Feng Xun is going to do now.
"Twenty moves." Between the fights, Feng Xun spoke softly, and his breath was not chaotic at all: "If your majesty fails to hurt me within fifty moves, then stop and listen to me?" ”
Xuanyuan Zili raised his eyebrows, showing no mercy in every move, and said in a cold tone: "Why should I listen to you? ”
"Because, you are also an ambitious monarch." Feng Xun smiled: "Under the condition that it is beneficial and harmless to the country, there is no reason for you not to listen to me." ”
Ambitious monarchs. Xuanyuan Zili snorted coldly and continued to greet him calmly. If you want to talk about ambition, his ambition is just to do the last thing for the third emperor brother, and he doesn't like this country much. But Feng Xun is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he wants to hear what can be beneficial and harmless to the country.
The last move turned into Feng Xun's fist, Xuanyuan Zi stopped his movements from Yiyan, took a few steps back, looked at Feng Xun and said: "Fifty moves have passed, you say, I listen." ”
"Your Majesty is so happy." Feng Xun withdrew his hand, as if he was smiling, glanced sideways at Liang Yue next to him, and said, "Since you are also curious, it is better to come and listen." ”
Liang Yue chuckled and walked towards the two of them as she said. Xuanyuan Zili turned his head and looked at her coldly, when the shallow smile on the corner of her lips was touched, the light in the emperor's eyes quickly darkened, with some biting coldness, looking at her like this.
"I'm just curious, and if I hear something I shouldn't have heard, I'll treat it as if I didn't hear it." Liang Yue met Emperor Mingxuan's gaze, thinking that he was guarding himself, so he explained: "Don't worry, I have no reason to betray you now." ”
Betraying him? Xuanyuan Zili sneered, he wasn't worried that she would betray him, but the last time these two met, they were quite rusty, and today it seems that they are very close! Did he come one step too late, and Gu Liangyue really followed this person out of the palace?
"I want to make a deal with Your Majesty, if Your Majesty agrees, naturally both parties will be good, if not, it will be fine, I can cooperate with others." Feng Xun said, took out an envelope from his arms, and handed it to Emperor Ming Xuan.
Trading? Xuanyuan Zili took the envelope and did not open it immediately, but looked at Feng Xun and said: "Do you know that to make a deal with the monarch, there is a corresponding capital, if the chips are not enough, I will not be interested in opening this thing." ”
Feng Xun shrugged indifferently, glanced at Liang Yue, and said, "She should know what chips I have, and it's not very powerful, but it's enough to shake your people's hearts." ”
Xuanyuan Zili frowned and turned his head to look at Liang Yue. Shake the hearts of the people? With such a big breath, what is the basis of this search?
Liang Yue looked at Emperor Mingxuan's puzzled gaze, and said lightly: "I only know that the people of Xiaoyao Palace are good at martial arts and business, if I am not mistaken, all along, most of the grain merchants I have seen have the logo of Xiaoyao Palace on their signboards." I don't remember how many, but the range should be national. ”
The emperor's face sank, and his fingers pinched the envelope slightly.
Since the first emperor, the Apocalypse has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, but since he ascended the throne, he has found that merchants can sometimes make much more contributions than farmers. It's just that food is the foundation of survival, and there is no way not to pay attention to it. If the grain merchant is the person who provides food for the ordinary people, if he unknowingly it, most of the grain merchants are already from the Xiaoyao Palace, then it is too terrible.
After a pause, Xuanyuan Zili calmly opened the envelope, and there was a piece of paper inside, unfolded, and a map of the apocalypse was drawn. It is densely marked with some small red dots.
"What is this?" Xuanyuan Zili raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Xun to ask.
Feng Xun stood with his hands in his hands, and his tone was much more serious, even mixed with a hint of hatred: "Those are the strongholds of the so-called famous and decent people, there are shops, restaurants, and green buildings. The strongholds of the five major factions in the rivers and lakes are all on it. ”
Xiaoyao Palace and the five major sects have a common enmity, this Liang Yue knows, looking at this map, Liang Yue faintly understood the meaning of Feng Xun. It's just that after so many years, he finally wants revenge, and this endurance is not as good as usual.
"Let's talk about the deal." Emperor Mingxuan.
Feng Xun looked at the map in Xuanyuan Zili's hand, and said word by word: "What I want is the destruction of the five major factions, and I can't do it by force alone, these strongholds, I hope Your Majesty can use your means to uproot them." Correspondingly, what I can do is to hand over all the grain merchants under the gate of the Xiaoyao Palace to Your Majesty after the matter is completed, and Your Majesty can replace them with his own people, or he can continue to keep them in the same place. ”
Xuanyuan Zili was stunned, and looked at Feng Xun with some surprise. Such conditions are too lucrative, just to destroy the five major factions, will he give him all the grain merchants? You know, controlling food, you can also control half of the country, Feng Xun is not stupid, why are you willing to pay such a big price?
couldn't help but glance at Liang Yue, who looked thoughtful, met his gaze, and only nodded slightly.
Is this what he means to believe Feng Xun? Xuanyuan Zili frowned and pondered slightly.
"Your Majesty thinks about it slowly, and I don't force it." Feng Xun walked to Liang Yue's side, put his elbow on Liang Yue's shoulder habitually, and said, "With your thoughts, it is estimated that you want to wonder why I used these for a long time in exchange for the destruction of the five major factions. But if it was Liang Yue, she would understand that on the rivers and lakes, this is completely worth it, isn't it? ”
Liang Yue nodded, the grain merchant is just a source of income for Xiaoyao Palace, and it is really worth it to take revenge. But for Emperor Ming Xuan, the grain merchant is a very important thing, so he wants to be suspicious, and she is not surprised.
"Let go of your hands." Emperor Mingxuan's face sank, he pulled Liang Yue's arm, took her behind him, and looked at Feng Xun with a not very good-looking face: "What you said, I will naturally consider it, but Gu Liangyue is no longer your person in the rivers and lakes now, don't touch her casually." ”
Feng Xun's hand was raised in the air, and he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Emperor Ming Xuan, slightly surprised. This is said, sneering, it seems that he cares about Gu Liangyue's appearance.
Liang Yue was pulled behind Xuanyuanzi, listening to this, her eyes widened slightly, and her heart bumped inexplicably. Looking at the emperor's slightly angry side face, I actually felt a little warm.
However, in the next moment, Xuanyuan Zili reacted, let go of her arm, looked at Feng Xun and said, "If you still have the ability to stay here tomorrow, then wait for me to give you an answer." As for Gu Liangyue, she is a palace concubine, you can't touch her, and don't look for her again. ”
Palace Concubine.
Two simple words define the position of Liang Yue in this person's heart. Feng Xun sneered, looked at the dim expression of the woman behind him, and chuckled: "I entered the palace to trade with you, as for other things, you don't seem to have the power to control me." Liangyue is a palace concubine, but she is still a woman with an iron-blooded order in the rivers and lakes, it's a big deal that I take into account your feelings, just look for her next time when you're not there. ”
"You..." Xuanyuanzi's face darkened, and he stepped forward and wanted to make a move with Feng Xun again, but Liang Yue gently pulled the dragon robe behind him.
Emperor Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, and turned back for some reason, but saw Gu Liangyue smiling lightly and said: "The hour is not early, if Your Majesty does not return to the palace, Father-in-law Sixi should come to look for someone later." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Feng Xun and said: "The palace master is willing to learn from Liang Yue, naturally it is Liang Yue's honor, see you next time." ”
Next time? Xuanyuan Zili pursed his lips, snorted lightly, and said, "Tonight, I will send you to bed, or you go back to the palace first, so as not to wait for Aunt Peony to find no one." ”
