Chapter 319: A Turning Point in the Nation's Situation
Ye Gucheng wanted to protect the person Huo Xiu wanted to kill, but it was not good to lose face like this, Huo Xiu and him did not have this friendship.
Ye Gucheng just paused slightly, then nodded and said, "I begged you."
Both Huo Xiu and Gongsun Lan were shocked by Ye Gucheng, even if Ye Gucheng drew his sword directly, it would not be strange. It is impossible to imagine that such an arrogant person would admit to asking for someone so directly.
Huo Xiu also didn't know what to do, he was not afraid of Ye Gucheng's hardness, his martial arts would not lose to him, and the power of Tsing Yi Lou was also on Feixian Island. The only thing to worry about is that Ye Gucheng is still young, but he is already old.
Ye Gucheng's confession made Huo Xiu's mind move again, it was precisely because Ye Gucheng was young that there was no harm in forming a good relationship with him and making friends.
Huo Xiu was withdrawn because he was in his position and deserved to make too few friends, not because he didn't need friends. Gongsun Lan was insignificant in his eyes, and killing her was just for his own majesty, but now that Ye Gucheng spoke, his majesty was enough, and it was okay to let Gongsun Lan go.
All the exchanges between Huo Xiu and Ye Gucheng were extremely crisp, and there was no superfluous nonsense.
Ye Gucheng admitted that he had "begged for someone", and Huo Xiu nodded directly: "Okay, her business is over."
Ye Gucheng hugged his fists at Huo Xiu and said, "Okay, if Boss Huo needs Ye in the future, but please command."
Ye Gucheng's promise is not insignificant, it is far better than killing a Gongsun Lan.
Huo Xiu also took a deep look at Gongsun Lan when he left, and couldn't see her true face, but the look of inquiry was still a little ambiguous.
Gongsun Lan had never blushed so much, watched Huo Xiu walk away, and turned around and asked Ye Gucheng, "Why did you ask him?"
Ye Gucheng was not straight enough to say, "Because you are not worthy of me and Huo Xiu's two masters", but said, "It's just a misunderstanding between you and him, there is no need to use force."
Gongsun Lan said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, it's good if you explain it clearly to him?"
Ye Gucheng said: "What people like Huo Xiu want is not an explanation, he wants to kill people, and he can kill people without a reason."
Gongsun Lan said, "So you begged him for me?"
After speaking, he looked at Ye Gucheng with his eyes staring.
Ye Gucheng was a little uncomfortable by her, and did not answer directly, "Huo Xiu's matter is solved, you go and do what you have to do."
Without getting an answer, Gongsun Lan thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go now."
Ye Gucheng did not return to the Pingnan Palace, but returned to his Feixian Island Baiyun City. He is more famous as a swordsmanship teacher in the palace, so he doesn't have to waste time. And recently, the owner of Feiyu Island, which is second only to Feixian Island in the South China Sea, is still a little disobedient to himself.
Since he was defeated in his own hands, Flying Fish Island surrendered to him, and Yu Huan has always been unconvinced, he feels that he is a water overlord.
However, one of the important businesses of Feixian Island is maritime trade, and it is inevitable that there will be more and more conflicts with Feiyu Island. Yu was also taken by Ye Gucheng's martial arts, and he didn't dare to fight openly, but he inevitably made it bad in secret.
Ye Gucheng was not polite, returned to Feixian Island, and immediately summoned the six largest island owners in the South China Sea, in addition to himself and Yu Huan of Flying Fish Island, there were also Zou Tianjun of Flying Whale Island, Nie Wenqing of Flying Bear Island, He Zhennan of Feihe Island, *** of Flying Tiger Island, and the six island owners gathered on Feixian Island.
The five island owners were all trembling, Ye Gucheng said nothing in the South China Sea, he was not a person who liked to be lively, he would not want to see them if he had nothing to do, and he would not summon them like this if he had nothing to do.
If you call them like that, it must be a bad thing.
If Ye Gucheng gave people the impression of arrogance in the past, then what several island owners see today is Ye Gucheng's domineering side.
In front of the other four island owners, Ye Gucheng hit Yu back with a move "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky". This trick is very different from when he challenged Yu Hui at the beginning of the year, and it was brilliant and blinded everyone.
Yu was simply powerless to fight back, if Ye Gucheng could use such a trick at the beginning, he would not have any dissent.
Ye Gucheng did not kill them all, but expelled Yu Huan from the South China Sea and occupied Flying Fish Island.
At this time, no one in the South China Sea Islands dared to disobey Ye Gucheng.
Yu is still not a nobody in the rivers and lakes, he was expelled by Ye Gucheng, causing a sensation in the world.
King Pingnan took his son to congratulate him personally.
King Pingnan said, "Congratulations to City Lord Ye for becoming the Supreme of the South China Sea, the entire South China Sea is the world of City Lord Ye."
The words were full of envy.
Ye Gucheng said, "There's nothing to congratulate, I just don't like to waste energy on these things."
Shizi said, "Then I also want to congratulate Master, the strength of Feixian Island is no weaker than any major faction in the martial arts today."
Although he didn't learn swordsmanship with Ye Gucheng for a few days, after all, he was a serious teacher for eight hundred worships, and he didn't suffer a loss by calling "Master".
Ye Gucheng shook his head and asked, "Is there anything else that the prince and the prince are here?"
King Pingnan and Shizi glanced at each other.
King Pingnan rubbed his hands together and said, "This king and Zheng'er have just returned from the capital, and this is the first time we have met the new emperor."
Ye Gucheng looked at them and didn't say anything, what did he have to say when he met the new emperor?
King Pingnan glanced at Shizi again, and Shizi said, "I found that I look like this new emperor, and we are also of the same age, and I can't tell anyone who is not close to him."
After speaking, he stared at Ye Gucheng with expectant eyes.
Ye Gucheng's face was calm, this matter had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Ye Gucheng didn't react, King Pingnan's father and son were a little hesitant, not knowing what to say next.
Seeing that they looked embarrassed and wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, Ye Gucheng was a little impatient, and said directly, "You want to rebel?"
King Pingnan's father and son shook their hands, but they did not refute immediately, but looked at Ye Gucheng hopefully.
Ye Gucheng asked strangely, "I don't have a deep friendship with you, how dare you tell me about this kind of head-killing thing?"
King Pingnan pondered for a while: "Although we have known each other for a short time, the city lord's personality is convincing. As the city lord said, this is a major matter of killing heads, and how can ordinary mediocre people participate in it."
Ye Gucheng knew that King Pingnan was not honest, and he knew it when he promised to accept the prince as a disciple, but he still agreed.
Ye Gucheng: "What do you want to do?"
Listening to Ye Gucheng's words, King Pingnan's father and son were in good spirits.
King Pingnan said: "This time I found that Zheng'er looked similar to the new emperor, but this king thought of a plan."
Ye Gucheng also knew what he wanted to do, but he didn't say anything, waiting for him to explain.
King Pingnan said: "Kill the new emperor and let Zheng'er look like the new emperor, as long as you master some of the habits and characteristics of the new emperor, no one will be able to find out."
Ye Gucheng thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Shoufu Zhang has the power to monopolize and is determined to reform, even if the prince is the emperor, he is also a puppet, what's the point?"
King Pingnan said: "Lord Zhang is in very poor health, and he will not live long because of his hard work."
Ye Gucheng nodded, thinking about it completely, and asked, "Will you be the emperor?"
Ye Gucheng's question stopped the father and son of King Pingnan, is this still useful? The power is in hand, the world is the only one, you can do whatever you want, and you can't do anything.
I didn't know how to answer for a while.
Ye Gucheng said, "You can become an emperor by learning some imperial techniques? If you can't benefit the country and the people, why should I help you?"
"This ......"
If Ye Gucheng can help the prince usurp the throne, it is from the dragon's work, ranking as the emperor, glory and honor, what does it have to do with the country and the people?
This matter was sought to Ye Gucheng because this plan required some strange arts, and if it was a direct rebellion, there would be no need to ask Ye Gucheng.
Listening to Ye Gucheng's words, he doesn't seem to be a swordsman who only knows swordsmanship, but a person with family and country feelings.
King Pingnan asked, "What ......does the Lord of Naye mean?"
Ye Gucheng said, "You first think about what you will do after becoming the emperor."
Although Ye Gucheng's words were annoying, and he was suspected of pretending to be a fork, he didn't mention the difficulty of usurping the throne in his words, it seemed that this process had been pinched in his hands, and he couldn't help but give it to the father and son of King Pingnan
A lot of confidence.
King Pingnan said: "City Lord Ye is Zheng'er's teacher, and it will still be on that day, Zheng'er will listen to the city lord's teachings."
It sounds good, the prince only learns swordsmanship with himself, or three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.
However, Ye Gucheng did not expose him, and it was too early to say anything.
Ye Gucheng said: "With other people's names, even if you become famous in the future, do you think you are the one who has been famous for eternity?"
King Pingnan's father and son were silent, but this was the easiest plan to succeed, and other methods were too risky.
Shizi asked, "What is Master's opinion?"
Ye Gucheng was silent for a long time, and said, "You learn to pretend to be the new emperor, and then find someone to pretend to be you. When you succeed, find an opportunity to pass the throne to the real you, and you can use your own name as emperor."
King Pingnan's father and son were overjoyed, they only had a preliminary plan, and they didn't think too deeply.
Ye Gucheng just listened to a few words and immediately perfected, which can be said to be perfect. But in addition to being happy, he had a new understanding of this usually taciturn Ye Gucheng.
Maybe the prince should spend more time learning with Ye Gucheng in the future, not to learn swordsmanship, but to learn Ye Gucheng's talent hidden under the indifferent appearance.
What exactly does the prince need to learn? The rotten Confucianism who shakes his head, the mouth full of "Zhihu also", reciting a few crooked poems, and making a few limerick poems that moan without illness? What is the use of all this for the Son? "It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and it is better to read countless people than to read 10,000 miles", and Ye Gucheng is the person who needs to "read" carefully.
Ye Gucheng agreed to the plan of King Pingnan's father and son to rebel so easily, of course, not because of the distress of the high place in the original book.
The world of martial arts is illusory, and he is living in a real world at this time. He knew that this dynasty was the last prosperity at this time, and it would soon turn to decline. The emperor fell, the civil officials were corrupt, the military attachés were brave, the alien race rose, the Han people were lost, and the country began to be closed. China began to change from leading the world to being bullied by the world.
Ye Gucheng didn't know how much he could change, but at least he could exert some influence to avoid going to the end.
