Volume 2 Stormy Eighteen States Chapter 148 Power, People's Hearts
After hearing Mrs. Bai's words, Ning Xiaochuan frowned, he really didn't expect so many things to happen in Langya, if it weren't for his personal experience, he would never have believed it, even the governor of Yizhou had someone pretending, which was too bold.
After hearing this, Cheng Hao slowly frowned, "It seems that the chaos in Yangzhou today is all because of this person." ”
At this time, Ning Xiaochuan could also understand why Bai Xiangting was so unkind to the envoys sent by Gao Xian, not only that, but also tried every means to search for Gao Xian's inner line in Langya, the purpose of which was to avoid them from coming into contact with Madame Bai.
"Madame, dinner is ready." Outside the door, the maid's voice sounded.
Madame Bai hurriedly responded, "Okay, I know, you go down first." ”
Ning Xiaochuan cautiously looked outside the door and said, "Madam, don't worry, since I already know all this, I will definitely find a way to rescue you." ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Bai shook her head helplessly, "Child, I understand your kindness, but I can't leave, once I leave, then my old man will die soon." ”
Cheng Hao couldn't help but bow, "Now Mrs. Bai can't leave here, these people are very insidious, they use Mrs. Bai to threaten Mrs. Bai and ask Mrs. to act with them, and at the same time use Mrs. Bai to threaten Lord Bai and force Lord Bai to be their prisoner, now the best way to ensure the safety of Lord Bai and Mrs. Bai is to maintain this balance, only in this way can the lives of Lord Bai and Mrs. Bai be saved." ”
Ning Xiaochuan frowned and nodded, "Juniors understand. ”
Mrs. Bai smiled with satisfaction, "Sir, thank you for bringing this child here today, learning the whereabouts of the old man, it can be regarded as the end of my concern, as long as the old man is alive and well, even if I am a little wronged, what is it." ”
Ning Xiaochuan got up and arched his hand at Mrs. Bai, "Madame is so righteous, the younger generation admires it." ”
……
When night came, Ning Xiaochuan and Cheng Hao drove back to Langya School Palace.
Ning Xiaochuan recalled the conversation with Madame Bai during the day, while Cheng Hao closed his eyes and recuperated, at this time Ning Xiaochuan slowly spoke, "Sir, now that we know that this Bai Xiangting is fake, in your opinion, what should we do next?" ”
Cheng Hao slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, "Do you have your own plans, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the old man listens." ”
"Then the junior will be ugly." Ning Xiaochuan arched his hand and said, "Lord Bai's affairs must first let the prince know, let the prince prepare in advance for emergencies, and the people of Langya must see the true face of this impostor, and the people of Langya will be completely lost in Langya. ”
Listening to Ning Xiaochuan's words, Cheng Hao bowed slightly, and then smiled lightly, "You still look at the problem too one-sidedly, this matter is not so simple, first of all, there is nothing wrong with you telling the prince this, but can you guarantee that no one around the prince will leak the news?"
Once the matter is revealed, what can these people do, can you guarantee the safety of Mrs. Bai and Lord Bai, second, once the identity of the fake Lord Bai is revealed, it can save Yangzhou from catastrophe, but what about the real Lord Bai in Yindu? Lord Bai really can't come back. ”
"This ......" Ning Xiaochuan didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Not to mention the safety of Lord Bai and Mrs., even if you say that this person is fake, then where is Lord Bai who you really are? Do you want to say that you are in Yindu? Cheng Hao asked again.
This question made Ning Xiaochuan even more embarrassed, yes, once he said that Lord Bai was in Yindu, wouldn't it lead the disaster of Yangzhou to Yindu, and once he was involved with Yindu, it would be troublesome, don't say that he and the Ning family would be finished together.
Seeing that Ning Xiaochuan didn't speak for a long time, Cheng Hao continued to stroke his beard and said, "The truth is not the same as solving the problem, if the old man says one more thing, have you heard of Zhongfu in Yindu?" ”
"Huh?" Ning Xiaochuan got up instantly and looked at Cheng Hao with a surprised expression, "Sir, how did you know about this organization?" ”
Cheng Hao shook his head helplessly, "By mistake, the prince inadvertently mentioned it." ”
"So, do you think that this time Lord Bai's matter is the handiwork of Zhongfu?" Ning Xiaochuan asked cautiously.
Cheng Hao looked at Ning Xiaochuan, his eyes were deep as if he could understand everything, "You already have the answer in your heart, the old man wants to say that this matter must not be reckless, it must be done step by step, and rash action will only backfire." ”
"What does that mean, sir?"
"If the central government intervenes, then the problem is no longer the dispute between the governor and the prince, but the contest between Yindu and the prince." Cheng Hao said.
Ning Xiaochuan next to him nodded undeniably, "Yes, what you said is all reasonable, so what do you say we should do?" Do you just let it go? ”
"Of course not, it's not an opportunity for us; Don't forget that their identities can't be revealed, so we still have a chance to crack the game. Cheng Hao continued.
"The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, no matter how you look at us, we don't have the advantage, dare to ask what Mr. said?" Ning Xiaochuan asked puzzled.
Cheng Hao smiled and looked at Ning Xiaochuan, "This opportunity is the people you just mentioned. ”
"The people? So, Mr. already has a way to deal with it? Ning Xiaochuan looked at Cheng Hao excitedly.
"To solve this situation, you can't just rely on the strength of you and me, you have to need someone."
"Who?"
"Gun Immortal Cloud Summoning."
……
Gun Immortal Jie Yunzhao, has a high status in Dafeng martial arts, the world's eighteen kinds of martial arts, he is called a fairy with a gun, there are countless people with guns in the world, every year there are countless geniuses born, he also released a bold statement, as long as someone can defeat him with a gun, then he will be a hermit and retreat, and give up the name of the gun fairy.
Therefore, in his early years, the spear fairy had to face countless martial arts and spear masters every year, but it is a pity that fifty years have passed, and he has not tasted defeat.
And the only thing that made him feel a hint of crisis was the gun king Yuan Zhenshan twenty years ago.
Jieyunzhao has an unshakable status and authority in martial arts, and even more so in Yangzhou martial arts, and his influence in the private sector even exceeds that of the local government, and Cheng Hao, as a respected teacher of science, also has dealings with Jieyunzhao.
has a high evaluation of this old man Cheng Hao, and once used eight words to describe this person: the heart is vast, and the gun captures the sky.
At first, Ning Xiaochuan was a little puzzled by Cheng Hao's mention of Jieyunzhao, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Cheng Hao meant, that is, to use Jieyunzhao's prestige in Yangzhou to compete with Bai Xiangting's power, as long as the war can be resolved, then the Zhongfu will be self-defeating.
The people and the central government, the people's hearts and power, it depends on how you choose Yindu.
But there is also a certain risk in doing so, not to mention whether Jieyunzhao agrees to come down the mountain here, it is still unknown whether Jieyunzhao's prestige can shake Bai Xiangting's power.
Three days later, Ning Xiaochuan embarked on the road to Taizhou, and it was snowing on the day he walked.
With the robe on his body and the white horse underneath, Ning Xiaochuan on the country road looked particularly calm.
Wang Pingyue next to him followed him carefully, Ning Xiaochuan looked back at Wang Pingyue and smiled faintly, "You don't have to follow me all the time, here, I am safe." ”
"Master asked me to protect you, and I have to follow you every step of the way." Wang Pingyue said to himself.
Ning Xiaochuan stopped, looked at Wang Pingyue and said, "You and I are not related, there is no need to do this, go back, if Mr. Cheng asks, I will take the responsibility." ”
"You can't afford it." Wang Pingyue said lukewarmly, "If you lose your life, I will not live in the world, inherit the promise of the teacher, if you can't do it, you should die to apologize." ”
"What kind of logic are you?" Ning Xiaochuan looked at Wang Pingyue puzzled, "For the sake of someone you don't know at all, you have to take your own life, are you science disciples like this?" ”
"Our science disciples are not as influential as the Northern Legalists and Confucian disciples, but they also have their own dignity and codes, and they are known to everyone; The world is reasonable, but it cares about people's knowledge and action, the so-called unity of knowledge and action, if you can't even do your own promises, then what is the unity of knowledge and action, then what is the reason to talk about, what people know. When talking about science, Wang Pingyue's eyes were bright.
For him, science is not his identity, but a belief that comes from the heart.
Ning Xiaochuan smiled bitterly, "I don't understand the insistence of your physicists, but I have my own rules of doing things, I don't want anyone to die or be injured because of me, no one can, this time I went to Taizhou, whether it was a murder or a blessing, I will bear it myself." ”
Wang Pingyue arched his hand at Ning Yan, "You have your standards, I have my insistence, and we don't interfere with each other." ”
"Wait." Seeing that Wang Pingyue was about to get up and walk forward, Ning Xiaochuan said helplessly, "Since you insist on following me, promise me one thing." ”
"You say."
"You have to go when I tell you to go."
"Yes." Wang Pingyue nodded lightly, and just as Ning Xiaochuan was about to leave, Wang Pingyue said a word.
"I have to get ahead of you."
"Huh?"
……
Taihua Mountain, located in Taizhou, Yangzhou, lives a white-bearded old man in the bamboo forest next to Taihua Mountain, what the old man does every day is to put a chair at the door of the house, and then make a cup of tea by himself, sit on the chair to read a book and drink tea, waiting for the destined person.
This old man is Jie Yunzhao, and the people he is waiting for are those who come to challenge him, more than fifty years have passed, and this habit is still there, but unlike his youth, now he has defeated the Gun King, and no one has challenged him for twenty years.
The snow was drifting, waiting and waiting, Jie Yunzhao fell asleep, and at this time, two young figures slowly appeared in front of the Lin family's bamboo house.
After Ning Xiaochuan saw the bamboo house, he grinned, "Found it, this is it." ”
