Chapter Eighty-Six: Northwest Raiders
As the name suggests, Xunyoufang is a place to find secrets and explore secrets, and it is the largest gold cave in Wanfang City.
Its architectural style is very different from that of the Central Plains, with layers of stacking, tent spires, external wall reliefs, white jade as a building, gold brick roof, jewelry ornaments, silk and satin as tents, extremely luxurious.
Agarwood burns candles, dragons add fire, and candles burn all night.
In this exotic building, the blonde orchid wears only a few thin pieces of cloth, revealing a large area of fair skin, twisting her waist and swinging her hips against the passing guests. The silk dress is almost transparent, and two long straight legs loom in it, inviting people to infinite reverie.
A red-clothed orchid dangled in front of Yu Fei with two plump balls on his chest, so shaking that Yu Fei's eyes almost fell into the deep groove. He took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the collapse of the table and pinched his thigh, and only then did he take advantage of the tactile pain to move his firmly absorbed gaze to the roof, and by the way, stop the nosebleed that was about to flow.
He has just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den now, so he can't be vigilant.
Le Kai saw that his face was light, and he hurriedly came up, and said with a smile: "The land of the Western Regions, the place of barbarians, there is really no good hospitality, if there is anything inconsiderate, please also invite Chen Gonghaihan." As he spoke, he took out a box from his bosom, which was full of jewels. "This is a small gift from Wincini, a wealthy merchant in Hanbei, and the barren northwest is just such a special capacity, and I hope Chen Gong will accept it with a smile. ”
"Hmm", sure enough, Le Kai waited for the same sound.
He secretly sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being a very human minister's blood master, how amazing this city was, his joy and anger were not revealed at all, and even his old fritter had a feeling of being a mouse pulling a turtle and not knowing where to start.
Seeing that the song and dance had reached **, he didn't dare to disturb Yu Fei's interest and returned to his seat, although the latter had always been careless, he didn't dare to speculate on his thoughts.
Wen Hui saw Le Kai coming back, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
"The bottomless pit. Le Kai's lips squirmed back four words.
Yu Fei couldn't open his eyes from the goose-egg-sized sapphire, he was a chick in terms of women, there was nothing to say, but in the gold and silver jewelry, people seemed to have a natural attachment.
Wen Hui glanced at Yu Fei's constipated expression, and said to Le Kai: "I said earlier that gems are not easy to value, so it is better to send gold and silver directly." ”
"It doesn't matter what you send, the key is whether it can be done. ”
"There is no such thing in this world as it is safe, and everything can only be done to obey the destiny of heaven. The key point is that we have no choice at all, if we take refuge in the King of Qin, we will definitely be liquidated by the imperial court one day; if we take refuge in the imperial court, you and I will not survive the day when the King of Qin is defeated. Wen Hui's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be very unwilling to accept this fact.
Le Kaifei's face also showed a solemnity: "How can you be sure that the King of Qin will be defeated? The King of Qin has the backing of the kings, and the Saiwai Huyi is the foreign aid, which is not slightly worse than the imperial court." ”
"Hmph", a trace of contempt flashed on Wen Hui's face and said: "The kings are just a group of rabble, they look like they are separated, it's okay to wave the flag and shout, but it's not enough to rely on it." Except for the King of Shu and the King of Jin, the others are no more than a battalion of guards, and they can be used as a bird. Not to mention the barbarians outside the Saiwai, they come after profit, and they leave when they exhaust their profits, which is not reliable at all. What can they do in front of the upright army of the imperial court?"
"Then it's useful to take refuge in Chen An?" Le Kai was still puzzled.
"As long as you keep him, it's useful," Wen Hui affirmed, "I received a secret report that Chen An is not a single person, but a whole army, the most elite blood guards in the Great Zhou. This army can't fight against the King of Qin, but it is not difficult to hold a city. ”
"You said it easily, he brought his subordinates down, he must have another mission, how could he deliberately come to protect us. Just point to these women and jewels to buy him?"
Wen Hui smiled: "These women and jewelry are just additives, and the real gifts are you and me." ”
Le Kai was stunned, and then listened to Wen Hui continue to explain: "He ascended to the throne too quickly, his foundation is unstable, and he needs people like you and me to show his eyes." Besides, to defend Wanfang, he doesn't need too much support, and he doesn't even need to send troops directly, as long as he makes the movement bigger during the mission and attracts the attention of King Qin, he can share a lot of pressure for us. You must know that the imperial court is the great enemy of the King of Qin, how much energy can he invest in us? When the King of Qin is defeated, the imperial court and the heavenly army arrive, and he has invited us to take credit, not only can we keep the current glory, but I can't say that we can go further. ”
Le Kai admitted that he was moved, nodded and said, "Will he believe it?"
"As long as we show enough sincerity. Wen Hui looked at Yu Fei again and said firmly.
......
The weather in the northwest is unpredictable, the sky is still clear during the day, and at night, the moonlight can only struggle out of the dark clouds under the entanglement of a glimmer of fog, a secluded place outside the city of Wanfang, two figures are depicted by the flickering bonfire eerie horror.
A hoarse male voice said, "Why are you?"
"Why can't it be me?"
"Aren't you still collecting those bellows rats in Wanfang City?"
"The dust has settled over there. ”
"Oh, you're so confident. ”
"Why can't I be confident, does everyone think that I will only use violence to solve problems? What they want is nothing more than to be content with the status quo, neither the King of Qin nor the court can give them, the King of Qin will not allow Yunzhou to have another voice, and the court is beyond the reach of the whip. ”
"And you're still so confident?"
"Of course, if the King of Qin and the court can't give them anything, it doesn't mean that I can't. ”
"You, you're more powerful than the imperial court and the King of Qin?"
"I can't compare with them, but I know one thing, that is, the imperial army is coming much faster than King Qin imagined. Ten days later, the imperial army's 800,000 troops will arrive at Baihu Pass. ”
"And then?"
"Then, hmph, and then there is the price they have to pay, what the King of Qin wants is for them to completely surrender and sacrifice the entire Wanfang City, which will cost their lives, and they will definitely not be able to afford it. As for me, they only need to pay a certain amount of loyalty, and if they stand up to the sky, they will be ruined and avoid disasters. ”
"Can you represent the court?"
"Sometimes. ”
"Huh?"
"What the imperial court wants is not to co-opt the major forces of Wanfang City, but just to keep them quiet, if they are quiet, the sixteen departments of Yunhu will be quiet, and the King of Qin will not have the ability to expand the chaos. And what I want to do is to make Wanfang City quiet, I have the same purpose as the imperial court, can't I represent it?"
"If you want to be quiet, you can be quiet, King Qin will make you so comfortable?" The hoarse voice was mocking, as if he couldn't get used to the other party's confident appearance.
"Then he has to be able to free his hands to talk. The other person's tone was full of disdain, and he didn't seem to pay attention to the threat of King Qin at all: "Don't talk about King Jin's side, it's too far." As far as the headquarters of the King of Qin, it took him all his energy to deal with the imperial army, what else could he come up with to threaten Wanfang City? It was just some empty promises of coercion and temptation, and the businessman who was happy to open this person did not see the rabbit and did not scatter the eagle, how could Wen Hui have served in the dark division for many years without his own news channels, saying that he knew most of the inside story I also believe it. Do you think King Qin can intimidate these two people? With them taking the lead, those eight major forces and three major sects in Wanfang City are all eggless ghosts, and they are not easy to manipulate?"
"Don't look like you're strategizing, what about Nanzhou? How can you guarantee that the King of Shu won't send troops?" He was unhappy when he saw that the other party was in control of everything, and he always wanted to stab him.
It's a pity that the man didn't care about his emotions at all, and said with a smile: "It's up to you." ”
"Me?"
"When the time comes, you only need to block the army of the King of Shu, and Wanfang City will be safe. ”
"I'm going to stop the 100,000 army of the King of Shu?
"Three thousand. ”
"What are you kidding? Even a 3,000-iron cavalry is no match for an army of 100,000. ”
"Who told you to fight him head-on, I am the elite of the three thousand blood divisions, as long as you stick to Qiguan and send assassins to assassinate these people, the army of the king of Shu will not be attacked. As he spoke, his fingers were empty, and five names appeared on the land, all of whom were the confidants and ministers of the King of Shu. "Remember, don't kill them all, kill one in two days, and when you kill the third person, that coward of the King of Shu will definitely flee with his army of 100,000. ”
The owner of the hoarse voice lowered his head and pondered the feasibility of the matter, and fell silent for a while. After a long time, he said: "What if the King of Shu doesn't retreat?"
"Hey, then it's your bad luck, you need to assassinate the King of Shu. ”
The hoarse voice exploded: "Assassinate the King of Shu? You are crazy, the last time you killed the King of Wu, the Golden Scale Guard was lost by nearly half, and that was under the premise that King Wu did not take effective precautions, and the three county kings had their own thoughts." This time is different, if you want to assassinate in an army of 100,000, the old birthday star will hang himself for a long time. I see your brain is in water, anyway, I'm not going, I'm going to you. ”
"What did you say? Do you think it's okay to justify you?"
The voice was cold, the air seemed to be stagnant, the surrounding temperature plummeted, the bonfire was pressed down, and the light and shadow changed to show the appearance of the owner of the hoarse voice, it was actually a middle-aged man with a mustache and a gray face, he was thin and thin, his eyes were sunken, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he had a cruel smile all the year round, and he was described as a ghost. But at this time, his expression was not as good as a ghost, not even a plague ghost, his original gray face became pale, his forehead was fine and dense, and he was obviously under a lot of pressure.
The black shadow in front of him was still talking, but his voice was cold and no longer as casual as before: "Yin Zhong, you have to find out your identity, I am the commander, and you can only obey orders." Let you express your opinion, it's just that I want to show a little affinity, if you are given face, you don't have to be ashamed, then you don't have to go back. Now tell me, are you going to this Qiguan or not?"
How could there be a monster like a grandmaster in this world, Yin Zhong was unwilling, but he felt that as long as he answered half a word, he would immediately be crushed into powder by the fierce and domineering momentum in front of him, so he could only bow his head in humiliation and grit his teeth and said, "My subordinates obey the orders." ”
As soon as the words fell, the momentum that almost suffocated Yin Zhong suddenly disappeared, and it came and went abruptly, making him almost suspect that it was an illusion.
The voice suddenly softened, and it was the same as before: "Is this right?" Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, if you succeed this time, I will guarantee you to be the head of the blood division. ”
