Old Wolf Dream Twenty: The Game
Nalan Yuanji's gaze became more and more condensed:
"The Wolf King's exclusive standard coffin, to say the least, will take ten days to make, the coffin on the main hall, you can naturally say, was prepared for the former Tuoba Zhi Wolf King, but the Wolf King died strangely, so it was temporarily placed in that coffin."
Tuobhar's face changed drastically, he already knew what Nalan Yuanji was going to say next.
"But if the coffin in your palace, which has long been completed, is made public at the same time, you guess that people will think about it. Hey! The corpse of the Chasing Deer Wolf King has just been transported less than a day, how come our Lord Regent has already built another coffin that can be built in ten days, could it be that the Lord Regent can not know the prophet, knowing that the corpse of the Chasing Deer Wolf King will arrive exactly after ten days; Or is it that he already knew about the death of the wolf king; Or is it that the death of the wolf king was planned by him?" The other party's tone was obviously very flat, but in Hal's ears, it was more amazing than the thunder outside the window.
Hal felt that his fingers couldn't help trembling slightly, but the next moment, he calmed down - Nalan Yuanji's dead people had a total of dead people, and the three of them had just appeared in the main hall, leaving the "ugly" to steal the documents by his side, and Nalan Yuanji no longer had the manpower to make the coffin public.
But Nalan Yuanji had already expected the other party to think like this, and at the moment when the other party had just calmed down, his voice came at the right time:
"It was my granddaughter Nalana who carried the coffin. The younger generation, in addition to chasing His Majesty, counts her as the most prestigious, the prince might as well guess, does she have the ability to go to your house to transport the coffin out?"
Before Hal could reply, one of them broke in recklessly, and he was immediately furious:
"Get out! Didn't I say ......."
But after seeing the person who came, the second half of his words were stuck in his throat - the person who came was none other than the captain of his own personal soldiers, Tuoba Tu!
Tuoba covered his face and said in a mournful voice:
"Lord, that thing ......?"
But then he stopped knowing each other - Nalan Yuanji on the side was looking at him with interest.
Tuobhar took a deep breath:
"Say."
"But the prince ......."
"I'll let you speak! Son of a bitch!"
"Yes, yes," Tuobatus said hurriedly.
"At noon, just after the watch, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came, and with a group of children of the ministers, she broke into the house and dragged that thing out......
Speaking of the back, his voice became lower and lower, and his head almost shrank into his chest...... But Tuobhar calmed down:
"Why didn't you stop her?"
Tuoba Tu said with a bitter face:
"I...... I stopped it, but she was very handsome in kung fu, slapped the villain hard, and said that she was ordered by you to come to you immediately......
Tuoba Har looked at Nalan Yuanji on the side - good old man, it happened to be noon at this time, you are so ruthless in calculating!
Then he waved his hand:
"Stand down."
Tuobatus whispered:
"Lord Wang, should we transfer troops......
"I'll let you go! Useless stuff!"
"Yes, yes......" Tuoba Tu was so frightened by the roar of this life that he couldn't possess his soul, and he crawled away.
Nalan Yuanji said with relief:
"As long as there is no change here, there will be no next move for Na Fu, you can rest assured, Lord Wang."
Hal gritted his teeth:
"Nalan Yuanji, you're amazing! Go on, I can afford it!"
Nalan Yuanji nodded when he heard this, and then he did something unbelievable - he took off the clothes on his upper body, showing his rugged and thin body in front of the other party, and he pointed to the tattoo on his chest that was slightly deformed due to aging:
"This wolf head tattoo has been tattooed for hundreds of years since the founding of our wild wolf."
Tuoba Har squinted at Nalan Yuanji and said angrily:
"This is the ferocious wolf, the glory of the ancestors of the wolf, worthy of only the most warlike warriors.
」
Nalan Yuanji ignored his sarcasm, and instead pointed to the right tooth of the evil wolf:
"This wolf tooth has not been damaged in the hundreds of years since the founding of the country."
Hal couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
Nalan Yuanji put on his clothes and shook his head slowly:
"The fire in Baiyuzhou is indeed terrifying, I am afraid that even the sword will turn into molten iron, but this wolf tooth is absolutely impossible to damage."
Hal certainly knows this:
"What do you want to say?"
Nalan Yuanji doubted:
"If it's not damaged, why did it disappear out of thin air?"
Hal said resentfully:
"I want to know too! It was the crumb who took the wolf's teeth......
"I know." Nalan Yuanji's words were conclusive.
"What?"
Nalan Yuanji does not detour around:
"On the body of the Wolf King."
Hal blurted out:
"Impossible!"
"It's not impossible, it's a fact." Nalan Yuanji:
"That day, the Wolf King fell into the fire, until the fire spread, no one crawled out, the wolf's teeth were gone, there was only one possibility, he escaped - these are my dead soldiers who saw it with their own eyes, he used a double sword, and was chased and killed by Lingbao Tianzun, you can ask yourself."
"But it's such a big ......," Tuobahar's voice began to tremble.
Nalan Yuanji said as a matter of course:
"He is the pride of the sky, and of course he can do things that ordinary people can't."
Hal thought for a moment, and gradually lowered his head, and then he began to curl up involuntarily - he believed it, so he really began to feel fear.
Nalan Yuanji seemed to turn a blind eye:
"But the prince doesn't have to worry, because in Zhulu's heart, you may always be a loyal and good uncle, after he recovers from his injury, he will still go to Daqin to die as you wish, and when the news of his death comes, you can still be the wolf king according to his orders......
Hal snapped his saber hard, which seemed to give him some courage, and he stood up again with a gloomy face:
"There won't be that chance, now the corpse outside is Tuoba Chalu, I said, who dares to object!"
"I'm against it." Nalan Yuanji's answer was crisp and neat.
Tuoba Har was furious, he picked up the broken knife and pointed at Nalan Yuanji's front door:
"Old thief! You do have some skills when you talk about it, but don't forget the cause of the death of the old wolf king, the whereabouts of the new wolf king, and all my plans...... What if everyone knew about it? Aren't you afraid that I will burn your jade?"
Nalan Yuanji sighed heavily:
"The current situation, the strength is to swallow the river stronger, the name is my Mu Jiang correction, if the prince really chooses to burn the jade, our Mu Jiang will definitely be destroyed; Xiao Jiang's remarks may be suppressed by you; After Nafu took out the coffin, he would soon be surrounded and suppressed; Thou hast taken precautions from now on, and my dead man may not be able to kill thee...... To tell you the truth, the advantage of swallowing the river is huge, otherwise why would I be verbose here?"
Hal finally felt he had the upper hand:
"You know you're scared this time?"
Nalan Yuanji shook his head firmly:
"But if I say I'm afraid, but it's not these that I'm afraid, a sage in the Central Plains once said - since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat. What I'm afraid of is that our Wild Wolf Country will fall apart and never recover, not my life or death or the survival of Mu Jiang's faction. I hope the prince understands."
Tuobhar chewed on this sentence carefully, and then asked:
"You want to talk to me about the terms?"
Nalan Yuanji stretched out three fingers:
"I'm going to exchange three hot things for a few small promises from the prince."
Tuobhar sneered:
"Oh? Wouldn't you be at a loss?"
Nalan Yuanji bowed slightly:
"The prince is worth a thousand gold, and he doesn't lose his old age."
Tuobhar snorted coldly
One voice:
"Hmph, let's talk about it."
Nalan Yuanji withdrew his first finger:
"First, I will give the prince a wolf's fang, a throne, and an army of 200,000."
Hal was immediately warm, but he was still vigilant:
"Go on."
Nalan Yuanji pointed to the throne hanging in the hall:
"Now the whole country has no owner, and the wolf's tooth is lost, but a few years ago, I looked through the ancient books and stumbled upon the method of casting the wolf's tooth, and I know the most powerful craftsman in the Central Plains, who can make exactly the same wolf's tooth for the prince. However, because of the preciousness of the materials, one of the quenching liquids takes at least six years to refine, plus one year of casting, exactly seven years, and the prince can get an identical wolf tooth. We can agree to re-elect the wolf king in seven years, and the prince will be on the throne, with the wolf's teeth in his hands, and the military power in his hands, won't he get his wish?"
Tuoba Har knew that what Nalan Yuanji said was indeed true, although he was secretly ecstatic, but his face was still silent:
"Your conditions."
Nalan Yuanji's sleeve robe shook:
"I want the prince to announce it himself, the king of the deer wolf is not dead, but missing."
Hal frowned, groaning.
Nalan Yuanji:
"If the prince is unwilling to announce this, to tell the truth, the old man is afraid that you will forcibly seize the throne."
When Tuobhar heard this, he nodded and agreed.
So Nalan Yuanji put down his second finger:
"Second, I want to give the prince the official positions of two important ministers, a huge fief, thousands of elite soldiers, and a mountain of gold and silver treasures."
Hal certainly knew what he was talking about, and he checked the baggage in his arms:
"You mean the Dong family?"
Nalan Yuanji nodded silently.
Hal shook his head:
"The fall of the Dong family is a foregone conclusion, I earned it myself, where do I need you to give it to me?"
Nalan Yuanji asked rhetorically:
"The prince has promised the first point, he won't kill me now, right?"
Hal frowned:
"What if I don't kill you?"
Nalan Yuanji pointed to that baggage:
"If I report to them, the prince wants to destroy the Dong family, but I'm afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky......
"How dare you!" Tuobhar's eyes were murderous.
Nalan Yuanji shook his head:
"I won't do this, so I'll remove all means and stay in Tianchi City for you to watch until the Dong family is destroyed...... Does this mean that I gave the Dong family to the prince?"
Hal pondered for a long time, and there was nothing wrong with it, and he said in a deep voice:
"In exchange for what?"
Nalan Yuanji replied:
"I want the prince to announce that the Swallowing Jiang faction, the Mujiang faction, and the Yuwen family will sit on an equal footing from now on, and will not offend each other, and if they trespass into each other's territory, they will be disposed of without resentment. Until the new wolf king is elected, and then he will be dispatched?"
Tuoba Har Daqi:
"Why is that?"
Nalan Yuanji lowered his head a little ashamedly:
"If the prince is willing to agree to these conditions, the country has already decided, and naturally the interests of the family must be the most important...... On the side of the Yuwen family, the old man will personally convince him."
When Tuobhar heard this, he laughed:
"Hahaha, Nalan Yuanji, you just have such a big breath, who has not died since ancient times. I can't imagine that after all, I'm still worried about your family's future...... Hum! Your Nalan and Yuwen families want to support their own troops and become a country within a country, I'm just afraid that it's not so easy to deceive."
Nalan Yuanji said slowly:
"You don't have to say yes right away, listen to the third thing I'm going to give you."
He held out a third finger:
"Third, I want to give the prince a solid backing to avoid all worries."
"How?" Hal was also a little curious.
"I just said that the three families sit on an equal footing and do not interfere with each other, which naturally makes sense - the military expenditure of 200,000 border troops will also be determined by these three from now on
Spread evenly." As soon as Nalan Yuanji's words came out, Tuoba Har began to think in his heart.
The eight clans of the wild wolf, excluding the extinct Huyan family and the soon-to-be-destroyed Dong family, the remaining six clans, their own swallowing rivers account for four, the Mujiang faction only has Nalan, and the neutral faction only has Yuwen, if the military expenses are evenly divided...... Seven years later, these two families must have been exhausted.
Seeing that Hal began to waver, Nalan Yuanji struck while the iron was hot:
"My demands are very simple, the border army cannot be reduced, and the structure must not be changed, and the army belongs only to the state, not to any party."
Hal Puzzled:
"If you don't attrition, the system will not change, you two will only get poorer and poorer, and I don't believe you will do a loss-making business."
Hal turned his head to look to the east, and said abruptly:
"There are more than one million Great Qin Tiger and Wolf Divisions, if something goes wrong with the border army, it will be a catastrophe for everyone, and this move is for the sake of the country...... Besides, after seven years, you will be the wolf king, and everything will be yours, so why worry? Again, it's to give you peace of mind knowing that we don't have the ambition to stand on our own."
Hal thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any reason why he didn't agree, so he nodded:
"I promise you everything."
"So," Nalan Yuanji made a gesture of please:
"Now let's go out and fulfill our promise."
"Slow!" Hal suddenly snapped, and then said in a deep voice:
"Let me ask you, if I agreed to all three conditions and did it, but after the Dong family was destroyed, you returned to the station, and told Xiao Jiang Gongzi's remarks and the story of the coffin, will I regret that I didn't kill you when I entered the door just now?"
Nalan Yuanji slowly paced towards the door, and his voice came from afar:
"After the matter is done, the three of us jointly declare that if anyone in the country dares to openly discuss these things, no matter who it is, they will be killed, and the three will fight together, how about it?"
Hal finally laughed from the bottom of his heart:
"Nalan Yuanji, you are amazing, you are desperate to survive in the mortal situation, and you have borrowed from God for seven years, I admire you. Let's go!" ……
The rain was pouring down, but none of the ministers in the hall acted rashly, and they all looked at the portal to the apse, anxiously waiting.
It's been a long time, what did the regent and Prime Minister Nalan say?
"Wow!" The curtain was lifted, and Tuobhar and Nalan Yuanji walked out side by side.
Many ministers have secretly speculated that today's court meeting will be dangerous, and these two people are in the same room, so they must have a fierce quarrel, and they may even start to fight...... When they saw that the two of them were safe and sound, they couldn't help but feel relieved and couldn't help but talk.
Tuoba Har handed Nalan Yuanji an inquiring look, and Nalan Yuanji understood and made a gesture of please.
So Tuobhar stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, be silent."
So the discussion of the ministers stopped, and the whole hall was so quiet that even a needle fell to the ground and could be heard clearly.
