Chapter 18 Seek a good opportunity in the cracks, and listen to the thunder in the silence

Bai Peony was sobbing and sobbing for a while, raised his eyes and saw the two guests looking straight at him, and hurriedly apologized: "White Peony disturbed the two Yaxing today, it is really a hundred deaths." But it's too late for her beautiful face to be paired with the tears of pear blossoms and rain to make people feel distressed, which man in this world can bear to blame?

Lin Zhibai smiled considerately at Bai Peony to alleviate her embarrassment, and said comfortingly: "The white girl said that she laughed, everyone has difficulties, this is human nature. I also want to thank the white girl for her pleasing tune, listening to the two of us only feel refreshed,

How can the word "collision" be discussed!" Zhang Bao also smiled slightly: "Before I came, I heard that the white girl was born in the country and the city, and I also said that the rumors were exaggerated, although the girl was in the Qinglou, but out of the mud and not stained. It's too late for Zhang to admire people by only pleasing people with music skills and not by sexuality!" Bai Peony listened to the two of them so understanding, and there was no blame between the words, all of them were relieved, and said to the two gratefully: "Thank you for the large number of two distinguished guests, Bai Peony has nothing to repay, I just want to play some clumsy songs in the coming day to express my heart." Lin Zhibai thought that Bai Peony was in a low mood at this time, and he probably didn't want to play music here anymore, so he bowed with both hands and said: "That's the best, I see that the white girl is a little tired today, go back to the room early to rest." Bai Peony felt relieved and said secretly: "It's the best." He replied: "Since this is the case, the slave family will retreat." The two guest officers also rested early. Then he picked up the guzheng, walked lightly to the door, and turned to close the door.

It's just that for some reason, he glanced at Zhang Bao imperceptibly before leaving. .................................................................. After Bai Peony left, Zhang Bao said to Lin Zhibai: "This little episode is over, let's talk about how the two of us should go in the future!" Lin Zhibai solemnly looked at Zhang Bao and said: "No matter what to do in the future, the first thing that should be done is the competition between me and the Five Emperor Brothers tomorrow, this battle can only be won, not lost!" Zhang Bao pulled a chair and sat down and said: " This is natural, the cultivation of the five princes is also in the top ten among their peers in Great Qin, as long as you can win him tomorrow, you will definitely get the attention of the royal family. As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and said to Lin Zhibai: "This is some information about the five princes, you can read it slowly after you go back." Now I want to know what you think of the court situation?" Lin Zhibai touched his nose and said secretly in his heart: "This should be Zhang Bao's test for me as a collaborator" Then he pulled the coffee table on the table closer and said to Zhang Bao: "The Qin State is different from the other four major powers. He was not as influenced by the Xuanmen and Buddhism as the Xia, Southern Liang, and Northern Yan, and the power was also concentrated in the hands of the royal family and the four great families, and there were not as many families as the Eastern Qi. As he spoke, he picked up a teacup and said to Zhang Bao: "And the royal family is nothing more than the emperor's grandmother and father." This teacup represents the emperor's grandmother" said and picked up another teacup: "And this is the father, but whoever sits in that position doesn't like the shadow of a person above his head, so I conclude that there must be a conflict between the two, and what I want to do is either to be left and right, or completely rely on one side or the other!" Zhang Bao listened to these words, touched his beardless chin and asked, "So, what about the crown prince and King Jing?" Lin Zhibai nodded and picked up the two teacups again and said: "The prince and King Jing both want to sit on that chair, but there is only one chair." Looking at Daqin as a game of chess, the emperor's grandmother and father are mother and son after all, and maybe there will be a draw," Lin Zhibai paused, then put the two teacups together and continued: "But the two chess players, the prince and King Jing, are divided between victory and defeat, as well as life and death, and they are completely playing a zero-draw game! With the continuous collision, there will definitely be a broken teacup!" .................. Zhang Bao's eyes blinked, and he asked again: "So, which chess player are you more optimistic about?" Lin Zhibai stretched out his right hand and nodded on a teacup and said: "The prince's advantage lies in his reputation, behind him is the imperial grandmother and the Dou family, the Dou family's protégés and former officials are all over the government and the opposition, the official department, the criminal department, and the Dou family's own courtyard, and the head of the Dou family, Dou Wei, is also a cultivator himself

The qi practitioner of "Yuan Baby". The prince with their support has a better chance of winning in my opinion!" Lin Zhibai kept moving in his hand, and his index finger changed to another teacup and said: "And King Jing's mother family is also slightly inferior to the Dou family, but it is also a very powerful Sanjia, and the Sanjia controls Daqin's money bag – the household department, the throat – the Imperial History Academy, because of the vigorous praise of the Imperial History Academy, it is rumored in the government and the opposition

"Virtuous King" said, and I, Daqin, have never only thought about being virtuous, not only long, so King Jing gathered a large number of people

"Qingliu" officials support him" Zhang Bao snorted when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched and mocked: "These."

The "Qingliu" talked about some sage words all day long, showing how they were high-spirited, how they were for the country and the people, in fact, in the final analysis, they just wanted to cast a good master so that their butts could move up!" ..........................................

"Typical conspiracy theory" Lin Zhibai said secretly in his heart, and continued: "People live in this world, and everything they do is nothing more than for one

The character of the prince does not meet their requirements, while the character of King Jing just meets their needs for interests.

The so-called like-mindedness is essentially like-mindedness! Therefore, although King Jing's advantage is worse than that of the prince, it is only a little. Zhang Bao nodded approvingly and said, "Well, what he said is true. Then he picked up the two teacups with both hands and said, "Listen to what you mean, our chance is in the other two?" Lin Zhibai's expression froze, and he held the teacup tightly with one hand and said: "Yes, power is maintained by force, and on the contrary, force can also gain power! The Nangong family controls the imperial military department, and holds the top three in the combat effectiveness of the six armies of the Son of Heaven."

"Supporting the Snow Army", only with his support can we have the confidence to compete with the crown prince and King Jing!" Zhang Bao stood on the table with his elbows and asked again: "What about the other one."

Lin Zhibai said with a pale face: "I can't see through this person!" He never seemed to care about the court situation, but those nobles, those qi practitioners from the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian, and those disciples of the Mogong Sect from the Ministry of Industry all looked at him. These people have never joined the party struggle, as if they only care about the path of immortality! I'm not sure that I can pull him into our camp!" Zhang Bao smiled and said, "As you said, everyone is for one

The word "profit", the road of eternal life is not a big one

What about the word "profit"? What we are trying to do is not something that can be accomplished overnight. There is a way to go to the poor place of water, and sit and watch the clouds rise!

I can't see through it now, but sooner or later I can see through it!" As he spoke, Zhang Bao's ten fingers kept exchanging, and then he pointed his two index fingers at Lin Zhibai and said, "So you are biased towards the Queen Mother by taking the path of Princess Jinfeng, right? Do you want to marry the county lord of Yuechan to gain her support?" Lin Zhibai shook his head, picked up a teacup and put it in the middle of the two lines of teacups and said, "My aunt's identity is different. She is the only daughter of the imperial grandmother, who in turn is the crown prince's biggest supporter. is also the wife of the second son of the Sanjia family, Sanjia, and the Sanjia is the biggest supporter of King Jing. As long as I can marry Yuechan, then, in the future, the imperial grandmother may treat me as half of her own because of Princess Jinfeng, and the scattered family may also treat me because of Yuechan" Zhang Bao's hands suddenly collided together and said: "These are the general trend you said, now I have been addicted to my mouth, according to me, Princess Jinfeng is a person who loves money like life, and is sexually lewd, in short, she is a person who can enjoy it very much" said the corner of his mouth habitually hooked and said: " A person who can enjoy will be afraid of losing everything he has and will also try to make his life better. As he spoke, Lin Zhibai picked up a teacup and put it in the ranks of the prince's line and said: "On the day you deceived the child half a month ago, my people happened to be on duty in Kunning Palace and heard some words!" .............................................

"What words?" Lin Zhibai automatically skipped Zhang Bao's mouth

"Trick the kids" asked sarcastically.............................. Zhang Bao also stopped selling Guanzi, and said playfully: "Our eldest princess, who is more like a businessman, quarreled with the queen. I heard that it was the eldest princess who proposed that the prince and Yuechan make a family affair, but the queen not only refused, but the queen also scolded the eldest princess for sending beauties to the emperor every day. Saying that, Zhang Bao smiled and said: "One is ten years old, and the other is in his twenties." It's like giving tender grass to the mouth of an old cow, and feeding it fatter can make it more delicious!" Then he suddenly laughed at himself: "Look at where I said." In short, Princess Jinfeng is by no means a small stepping stone! her ambition is no longer just one

"The Emperor's Sister" can be satisfied, and she still wants to be it

"What about the Emperor's mother-in-law?" ................................................

"An emperor's sister!" ..............................

"An emperor's mother-in-law?" ..................... Lin Zhibai listened to Zhang Bao's words, and leaned forward unconsciously: "Then why didn't she choose King Jing?" I may not be able to be favored by her, in the end, the previous step was just an idle child for me. ”.............................. Zhang Bao shook his head, but his eyes looked at Lin Zhibai very firmly and said, "I don't know about this, maybe it's because Princess Jinfeng still cares about ethics, right?" If you can count on her support, then our plans will go a lot better!" ........................ Lin Zhibai

"Hmm", and asked in a seemingly casual tone: "You said that the eldest princess is lewd by nature, how do you know this?" Zhang Bao shook his index finger at Lin Zhibai and said: "You don't have to know this, you just need to know that eunuchs also have some power." ”................................................ As he spoke, Zhang Bao suddenly remembered a name, a name that frightened him.

He wanted to reach out and pick up another teacup but found that there was no extra teacup, so he could only reach out and take the teapot and throw it on the table, and said in an aggravated tone: "We all ignored one person, and I just remembered when I said eunuchs, we all ignored my godfather - Guo Jiuchang!" .................................... Lin Zhibai frowned and asked: "We are considered tea, and Guo Jiuchang is considered tea, so which cup of tea does he want to make?" Zhang Bao listened to Lin Zhibai's appropriate metaphor and was relieved, and he fixed his mind and said: "Just like you can't see through Taiyun, I can't see through my godfather." So I don't know which cup of tea he wants to make this tea..................!"

"Okay" Lin Zhibai responded to Zhang Bao, then picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, raised them in his hand and said, "In any case, we have made a covenant today that is not very solid. Let's find a good opportunity in the gap between these two mountains................................................!"

"Hmm" Zhang Bao took the teacup and said to Lin Zhibai: "What I said is true, it's not too early, you hurry back to the palace to recuperate and fight tomorrow's battle............................................................................................................!

With a "squeak", Lin Zhibai pushed open the door, walked into the cabinet in his room and picked up a puppet, only to see that the puppet was engraved with Zhang Bao's name.

Lin Zhibai picked up a brush and put that

"?" and hook one to the side

“?” Then pick up a wordless puppet and engrave a name––

"Lin Zhiba". After carving, he put the name engraved with Zhang Bao's name back in the cabinet and picked it up

The puppet of "Lin Zhiba" walked to the bed and lay down............................................................................................................ Late at night, Lin Zhibai lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Thinking about the words on these pieces of paper in his mind for a while, he sketched the image of Lin Zhiba in his heart, thinking about how to fight against him tomorrow.

For a while, I thought of Lu Fengke's cold back, and thought about what the past was like between him and the white peony?

Is it a thin scholar who is infatuated with a dust girl? Or is it an infatuated scholar who is a thin woman with a thin nature? For a while, I thought of Zhang Bao's posture when he sang "Farewell My Concubine", and then thought about the cups of teacups tonight.

Suddenly, Lin Zhibai suddenly got up and slammed his hand on the bed, and said to himself: "How can I see through Zhang Bao? Which teacup does he want to pour this tea in?" Then he lifted the quilt and hurriedly walked to the cabinet to pick it up

The puppet of "Zhang Bao and Zhang Dieyi" looked at it in a daze. Stretched out his right hand and slapped himself heavily, and said to himself: "After all, I'm still too young" Lin Zhibai thought about everything that happened tonight, and secretly said that he was still too anxious.

As soon as Zhang Bao showed favor slightly, he desperately wanted to grasp Zhang Bao, the straw that led to success, and reveal all his thoughts to him.

But what about Zhang Bao? In addition to talking about a tragic past, did he say anything? No, right? Maybe Zhang Bao said that the past was just to unload his own defense!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhibai slowly walked to the desk where "Vertical and Horizontal Talk" was placed, spread out a blank piece of paper, picked up the brush and thought for a while and wrote down....................................

"Seek a good opportunity in the cracks, and listen to the thunder in the silence!"
