Chapter 29: Different Attitudes (Second Vote Request)
The next day, Meng Qi, who was carrying a sword and a sword, escorted Lu Guan, Batu and others to the outside of the palace and saw several Ouchi masters waiting.
"Lu Shuai, there is a right minister guarding the palace city, and there should be no danger. Meng Qi said coldly.
Lu Guan bowed his head slightly: "The right minister will definitely accompany us to find the young master of the Jiang clan, you don't have to wait here, you can do whatever you want." ”
Meng Qi pretended to be a deep groaner and said: "Lu Shuai, it is important to talk about deceitful matters, I want to inform the four princes one by one, so that they can make plans as soon as possible." ”
Lu Guan was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Go ahead." ”
He doesn't have the martial arts, connections and status of the right minister Wang Derang, and wanting to maintain absolute neutrality will only arouse the common disgust of the four princes - Lao Tzu is kind enough to win over you, a broken general with no soldiers and no money, and you don't appreciate it?
As long as there is still hope of wooing, most princes will not hate and turn their faces, and most importantly, I don't know which prince wants to negotiate peace with Xilu in private, adding chips to the great treasure, and I don't know if he knows that the peace talks are fraudulent, this needs to be tested for a moment or two, and the current excuse is just right.
After Meng Qi saw them enter the palace, he walked along the left side of the palace city towards the princely square with an expressionless face, his pace was not in a hurry or slow, just like a walk after morning exercise every day.
He didn't have a specific plan to see who first and then whom, but what he planned was to go along the road and meet whoever he met first.
Entering the Wanghou Fang, Meng Qi saw the Seven Princes' Mansion not far away at first sight, so he walked over lukewarmly and usually explained his intention.
The porter was very polite, and there was no bad custom of collecting money and making it difficult, so he hurriedly went in to report.
This made Meng Qi slightly stunned, the Seven Princes can be valued by the old emperor, they are indeed not idle people, at least in terms of training and controlling their subordinates, they have done a good job. From the small to the big, it can be seen.
It didn't take long for the porter to lead Meng Qi to a flower hall, where a young man in civilian clothes and hair ties was leisurely leaning back on a chaise longue, lazy and casual, as if Meng Qi was not a strange visitor, but a friend he had made for many years.
He has an elegant temperament and does not get up. Looking at Meng Qi who came in with a smile, he said: "It's the same as the 'Amazing Sword' Xiao Meng I imagined, cold and sharp, born a swordsman, but it is more elegant than I expected, and it is more jade and windy." ”
Thank you...... Such a compliment, Meng Qi accepted it all: "Seven princes, there is fraud in peace talks." ”
The flower hall had a number of guards with their temples bulging high, and Meng Qi could also feel the prying eyes in the dark.
The Seventh Prince snorted and was still lying down. Holding the lid of the teacup with his right hand: "Whether there is fraud or not has nothing to do with me, and I am not a person who can call the shots, to be honest, I am a person who values fame." In the eyes of my father, in Shilin's reputation, it is very good, and it is a matter of cutting the soil and seeking peace. I can't do it. ”
"Seventh Prince, you have won the hearts of the people in your work, and there are many supporters in the court. It has a strong influence on peace talks. Meng Qi unceremoniously exposed his modesty.
However, he is not called a lonely person, but he seems approachable and convincing.
The Seventh Prince smiled and said: "It is worthy of the 'Amazing Sword' Xiao Meng, the swordsmanship only attacks but does not defend, and the words are the same, which makes it difficult for me to parry." ”
He smiled and sighed suddenly: "If my father is sober for another year, your words are right, at that time, I have become a general trend, and the throne is not up to me, and now, many courtiers who are loyal to me have begun to alienate me, and the masters who can be wooed are limited." ”
"But I can't quit, since this game has started, I am not eligible to quit, because I am no longer alone. ”
The sunlight shines through the window of the flower hall and sprinkles on the Seven Princes, the golden spots flow, bright and brilliant, but there is a faint sadness and melancholy.
Looking at this elegant prince lying down to meet the guests, Meng Qi didn't say much, but just said: "Seventh Prince, who do you think wants to negotiate peace?"
He actually talked about the throne and the struggle for the throne in front of a stranger like himself, I don't know if it was because the city government was shallow, or if he was deliberately acting and trying to mislead.
The Seventh Prince looked at Meng Qi with a smile: "If I say it, it should be the third brother and the fourth brother." ”
"Huh?" the cold-faced swordsman Meng Qi waited for an explanation.
"Xilu Great Khan Maodun is the lord of the Yu clan, and he is indeed a disciple of the Demon Gate Yin Master, but this does not mean that they are natural allies with the Central Plains Demon Gate, on the contrary, the Demon Queen who wants to unify the Demon Gate and the Yin Master who intends to use the power of the West Lu to unify the Demon Gate have incompatible contradictions, and it is impossible to join forces. The Seventh Prince seemed to come inadvertently.
Are you clearing yourself?Meng Qi said secretly.
The Seventh Prince continued: "The eldest brother has been on the throne of the crown prince for nearly twenty years, no matter how much my father suppresses it, there is still a force that cannot be underestimated, I am under the intention of my father, there are loyal subordinates in the court army, the third brother and the fourth brother are too far apart in this regard, all rely on the support of the masters of the rivers and lakes, it is surprising, if they ascend to the big treasure, they must purge me and the eldest brother's forces in order to sit safely." ”
"They are naturally unwilling to start a war with the West now, and they definitely want peace talks. ”
"If you are outside, you can also be at peace with the inside, occupy the general trend, and take advantage of the situation to make difficulties. Meng Qi replied noncommittally.
The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "Everyone in the world is rumored that I colluded with the Demon Gate, I wonder if you have heard of Xiao Meng?"
"Yes. "Meng Qi cherishes words like gold.
The Seventh Prince shook his head: "It is the hundred officials who govern the world, and the hundred officials are all from Confucianism, and they regard the Demon Gate as an evil demon, and they are eager to be uprooted. ”
Farming first, and then cultivating their own set of civil bureaucracy to replace the current Confucian ...... Meng Qi's thoughts diverged, and he secretly slandered.
"That makes sense. He replied with a serious face.
The Seventh Prince said a few more words, and served tea to the guests without mentioning the matter of wooing Meng Qi and Lu Guan.
Out of the Seven Princes' Mansion, after walking forward for a while, Meng Qi saw the Four Princes' Mansion, the porter's back was straight, and he held a long sword in his hand, which was fierce and fierce.
Governing the government is like governing the army...... Meng Qi suddenly came up with this idea.
The porter of the fourth prince was not harsh and smiled, and his attitude was cold, but before he could go in to report, a housekeeper came out to invite Meng Qi into the mansion.
"The prince has admired Meng Daxia's swordsmanship for a long time, and when he heard that Daxia entered the workshop, he asked me to wait at the door early. The butler said flatteringly.
The four princes all have princes.
Meng Qi bowed his head slightly: "The fourth prince is a disciple of the Sword Emperor, and the sword technique should not be under me." ”
After that, he fell silent, maintained the appearance of a cold swordsman, and was introduced into the study.
The study of the four princes is very large. On one side, there are military books and other items, and on the other side there are various swords hanging.
He turned to Meng Qi sideways, pointed to a sword and said: "Tengxiang Sword, the sword is three feet three inches and three minutes long, built by a meteorite, unstoppable, sharpened iron like mud, and the family teacher persevered when he was young, and he was powerful." ”
"The Akatsuki Sword, the sword is three feet long. The color of the sword is dark red, like the moon into a pool of blood, and the Chinese are like drunk, and the left road 'mad drunk sword' used in the past ......"
It was like meeting a confidant, and he couldn't wait to share his collection with Meng Qi, and he was in high spirits.
Meng Qi is naturally not stingy with his preferences, his eyes are shining, and he is very reluctant to take them all away, what a good deed this is!
“...... Ironwood sword. The sword before the master forgets the sword. The fourth prince turned his head, looked at Meng Qi, and sighed, "I'm also obsessed with swordsmanship." But he is riddled with mundane things, and it is difficult to get rid of it, so I can only watch you enter the supreme realm of kendo for so many years. It was the first time that the master had praised a swordsman. ”
He regarded Meng Qi as a fellow believer, and he also called himself myself.
Listening to the emotion of the four princes, Meng Qi suddenly had a bad taste. Seriously, he shouted: "
If you are really obsessed with the way of the sword, you must cut them one by one!"
A series of questions made the fourth prince's body shake a little, and he was originally walking in a dragon and walking majestic, but at this time he showed a trace of paleness.
He was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "No wonder Xiao Meng, you can have such swordsmanship at a young age, the sentence on the stone bridge, 'You are not worthy of me to use a sword', really makes my blood boil, but it's a pity that I don't have a firm sword heart like you......"
He sighed: "The invasion of the Western captives, the poison of the living beings, I am only willing to raise 100,000 troops to save the people from fire and water." ”
"There is fraud in the peace talks, do you know the fourth prince?" Meng Qi did not answer.
The fourth prince nodded: "I already know your intentions, and I will do my best to prevent peace talks." ”
"I wonder which prince wants peace talks?" Meng Qi asked the same question.
The fourth prince pondered for a moment: "Big brother is in charge of the country, if he doesn't want to negotiate peace, it won't be the current situation, but he may not know that there is fraud in peace talks." ”
Meng Qi didn't ask any more questions, and after exchanging swordsmanship experience for a while, he said goodbye and left.
After walking a long distance, the Prince's Mansion appeared in front of Meng Qi's eyes.
The concierge of the Prince's Mansion looked arrogant and unabashedly solicited bribes.
Meng Qi looked at him coldly, the illusion Dafa strengthened his momentum, and he didn't say a word.
The porter was quickly made his scalp numb by Meng Qi's cold eyes, sweat leaked out, gritted his teeth, and turned around to report it.
It didn't take long for him to come out again, and said with a slight meaning: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to see you, saying that he already knows." ”
"Good. Meng Qi was not shocked in his heart, turned around and left, and it was also an attitude to not see him.
At the other end of the Princely Square, the residence of the three princes is located here.
As soon as Meng Qi stepped on the steps, he saw the door open, and Cao Zhan, who was full of shrewdness, greeted him, and said with a smile: "You are really a famous Jingshi now, and the prince has been waiting for you early in the morning." ”
Seeing his brocade robe and jade belt, Meng Qi smiled: "You also mix well." ”
"It's fine. Cao Zhan said with a smile, "The prince has recruited a lot of masters, so naturally he needs people who are familiar with the practice of the rivers and lakes to take care of it, and I happen to be good at this, and I have done a good job, and I have been rewarded with secret weapons." ”
"That's good. Meng Qi praised sincerely, when he was in the first reincarnation mission, how could Cao Zhan be so prosperous, and the cheats weapon was started without much effort.
Along the way, Cao Zhan tried his best to win over the relationship between the two sides and curry favor with Meng Qi, he knew that this companion was now famous, his status was not trivial, and he was better at swordsmanship!
Walking through the courtyard and hall, as soon as he entered the study, Meng Qi saw a man in his thirties dressed as a prince wearing shoes to greet him, and his attitude was extremely enthusiastic:
"Xiao Meng, you're finally here!"
He has a bit of a relationship with the Seventh Prince, but his tone is warm and his posture is sufficient, which makes people feel very valued.
Luo Shengyi stood behind the third prince, his expression was calm, smiling slightly, and he didn't have the slightest annoyance that Meng Qi went to see the other princes; Ge Huaien was not here, and he might have been arranged to do something else. (To be continued......)
