Zhou Xuanhao, the king of Kaiping, is the new emperor proposed by Luo Chong and the Taiping sect leader, and next, if Luo Chong does not have a better choice, the founding emperor of the new generation of imperial court in this land is almost him.

Counting the time, he should also come, so Luo Chong asked his subordinates to invite King Kaiping and his party into the barracks tent.

This person looks to be in his thirties, dignified, not short, and has the kind of majesty that only hereditary nobles have, that is, ordinary people often say that they are not angry and arrogant.

However, when he saw Luo Chong, he must not be intimidating, but took the initiative to salute him, and said extremely warmly: "It's really Zhou's honor to finally see General Luo." ”

Luo Chong invited him to sit down first, and with him came a young Confucian scholar, who was obviously a confidant whom King Kaiping relied on very much.

"Speaking of which, I am also destined for the prince......

After sitting down, Luo Chong said with a smile: "That time on the dock in Lingyuan County, it was the prince's personal guard, right?"

"Exactly, exactly. ”

Zhou Xuanhao waved his hands and smiled: "I'm ashamed to say that time, it was really Zhou Mou's big deal, but he should have personally gotten off the boat to meet the general." ”

"I didn't know each other at that time, so I didn't need to care, it was just a joke between us. ”

Luo Chong's attitude was also quite gentle: "Besides, the prince took the initiative to get to know me Luo Dong, with his status at that time, even if it was very face-saving." ”

"The general is polite. ”

Zhou Xuanhao was originally a little worried that his impression in Luo Chong's heart might not be very good, but now he was relieved, and the young Confucian student he called 'Mr. Guan' sat aside and laughed silently.

After a few polite words, Zhou Xuanhao cautiously asked tentatively: "Don't hide it from the general, I was still thinking about it before, would it be a little inappropriate to come to visit you now?"

lowered his voice slightly: "I mean His Royal Highness Yongning...... But Mr. Guan said that it was okay, the general was very human, and we didn't need to worry a lot. ”

The words were subtle, in fact, he really couldn't wait, since he received the news from the Taiping Holy Sect, he rushed towards Guangling Town in a hurry, and along the way, he had to keep an eye on Luo Chong's news: whether he had returned to Guangling from the capital.

If he can't see Luo Chong as quickly as possible, if he has a better choice, he will miss the most important opportunity in his life.

Zhou Xuanhao has always paid special attention to all the news related to Luo Chong, coupled with the private advice of the Taiping Sect Master, Zhou Xuanhao has long regarded Luo Chong as a key person who is enough to change the pattern of the world.

To put it bluntly: if you can get Luo Chong's support, it will be a great thing!

Zhou Xuanhao already had such an awareness, and he must have attached great importance to the first meeting with Luo Chong, and originally planned to make it more ceremonious, but then I heard that Princess Yongning actually followed Luo Chong to Guangling Town, which made Zhou Xuanhao anxious.

Princess Yongning is clearly planning to recruit Luo Chong as a colt, how can this be good?

proves that he Zhou Xuanhao is not the only person who has vision in the world.

Think about it, if Luo Chong becomes a concubine, he will definitely wholeheartedly protect the interests of the Jin Dynasty royal family, and when the time comes, let alone support him Zhou Xuanhao to become the new emperor of the founding of the country, if he doesn't do well, he will directly turn the knife and behead him, the ambitious King of Kaiping, first.

Many times, success and failure, life and death, are only a line between the line, and one wrong step is a catastrophe.

Therefore, Zhou Xuanhao couldn't wait for these and that, and once he heard that Luo Chong had returned to Guangling, he hurried to meet him.

Luo Chong guessed his thoughts thoroughly, if he was replaced by other hypocritical people, he would definitely deliberately take care of it, raise his value, and further deepen his importance in Zhou Xuanhao's heart......

But Luo Chong was too lazy to do this, and disdained to engage in these things, so he said to him bluntly at this moment: "Mr. Guan is right, Princess Yongning will not have an impact on my decision, nor will it change the fact that the Jin Dynasty was defeated, and as for the meeting between us, there will be nothing wrong." ”

Now it can be said that way, but I don't know that not long ago, if Yongning really nodded and agreed to be the empress of the new dynasty, there really would be nothing to do with him Zhou Xuanhao.

If Zhou Xuanhao knew about the situation, he would definitely break out in a cold sweat, and said again and again: It's so hanging, it's hanging!

"That's good, that's good. ”

Zhou Xuanhao's tense heartstrings finally stabilized slightly, but there were still some conjectures in his heart: the personal relationship between Yongning and Luo Chong would more or less have some impact on the future fate of the Xiao royal family, right?

For example, the emperor of the new dynasty will definitely take some cold measures against the Xiao royal family, which belongs to cutting the grass and eradicating the root cause to prevent future troubles, and from the perspective of the interests of the world, there should be nothing wrong.

But if it is mixed with the personal relationship between Luo Chong and Yongning, it will not be easy to do.

Luo Chong was still able to guess his thoughts, and said unabashedly at this moment: "However, there is a condition in this, the prince must agree to protect the personal safety of the Xiao royal family as much as possible, and he can't kill them all...... Of course, I won't leave them in this land to block you, I will send them overseas, separated by the vast sea, thousands of miles away, which means that the Xiao royal family has completely disappeared from this land. ”

"Sent overseas?"

Zhou Xuanhao frowned, not to object, but to be a little difficult to adapt to Luo Chong's directness, on weekdays in the officialdom, everyone is used to speaking and doing things around the bush and ambiguous, and it is rare to be so explicit.

Zhou Wangye couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Luo Chong's speech, and before he said anything else, why did he suddenly jump overseas thousands of miles away?

Seeing that Zhou Xuanhao's reaction was a little inappropriate, Mr. Guan, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly took over the conversation and asked Luo Chong in a gentle tone: "Is the general's meaning irrevocable?"

"Yes. ”

Luo Chong nodded: "This country can change dynasties, but Yongning's family needs to be safe and sound, this is a promise that I promised her as her friend." ”

"That's ......"

Mr. Guan was a little surprised, and asked cautiously, "When you were with His Royal Highness Yongning, you had already talked about such a sensitive remark as changing the dynasty?"

"Yongning isn't as confused as her father. ”

Luo Chong replied with a faint smile: "She already has a more sober estimate of the general trend of the world, although she is still trying to fight for some things, but everyone knows that she is powerless to change anything...... Also, people who can be called friends by me can say everything, whether it is nice or bad. ”

"Understood. ”

Mr. Guan nodded silently, and glanced at each other with Zhou Xuanhao.

Luo Chong asked understandingly, "Do you want to give you a little time to discuss it alone?"

"Not really. ”

At this time, Prince Zhou had already reacted thoroughly, to put it bluntly, if you don't agree, you have to agree!

If he didn't promise to let go of the Xiao royal family, Luo Chong would not have agreed to support him.

Zhou Xuanhao was obviously not an indecisive person, so he immediately waved his hand and replied: "Then follow the general's wishes, and at that time, let the Xiao royal family move overseas safely and never interact with each other again." ”

This kind of promise in advance will come down and talk about it, as for the future, if you really sit on the throne, the things that were not easy to solve will become easy, and there is no need to worry about it now.

This account, Zhou Wang Ye can still calculate it.

"I'm not afraid you'll regret it. ”

Luo Chong smiled and said nothing, like a mirror in his heart.

As for what the Taiping Sect Master said, it was just a joke, Luo Chong didn't have the leisure to play those entanglement scenes with Zhou Xuanhao, and what could be negotiated at one time would not be divided into two times.

So then came another topic, Luo Chong said: "I am now a general of the third grade, and I can command five thousand cavalry under my command, but at present, there is only one-tenth, and the other four thousand and a half have not yet come from...... Is there any good way for the prince to do this?"

Aren't you Zhou Xuanhao a careerist, in this time of chaos in the world, you won't be unprepared, right?

"Well, this ......"

Zhou Xuanhao groaned solemnly, he really didn't mean to do it, but he really couldn't keep up with Luo Chong's whimsical speech rhythm, and it didn't seem to be finished just now, why did he jump on another question?

Of course, Luo Chong didn't mean to embarrass him, so he explained with a smile: "After a long time of contact, the prince will know that I am actually quite simple, what to say, too lazy to play those intrigues when talking to each other." Let's put it in the most straightforward way, I have to have enough soldiers to help you fight the world. Now there are only 500 people, of course, which is far from enough. ”

"I understand, I understand. ”

Zhou Xuanhao nodded again and again, picked up the teacup again, and said in his heart I haven't taken a second sip of this cup of tea, you have already gone deep into this kind of Cheng dù, and it is indeed straightforward and white enough.

Don't talk about him, Mr. Guan on the side is resourceful in his calculations, and he is also a little too big by Luo Chong's thunderous and lightning fast pace, and the rhetoric he prepared before is not used at all.

It's like a group of people sitting down to talk about the world's major events, but it's like a few brothers getting together and having a whim: Okay, then go out for a few drinks, you pay for it, I'll treat you, it's decided!

Luo Chong was not so unreasonable, and explained at this time: "I don't care about other issues, but in military affairs, my side has always been like this, chattering, with knives in hand, and never so much discussion." The world is killed, not discussed, what does the prince think?"

"yes. ”

Lord Zhou nodded sincerely: "If the world is in chaos, there will definitely be thousands of miles of blood and millions of corpses." ”

Then he said: "It's just a few thousand soldiers, of course I can still get together with the Taiping Holy Sect, but I am definitely not a qualified cavalryman......"

In this world, the excellent cavalry are all on the side of the Qingyuan Kingdom and the Xixia Kingdom, and the Jin Dynasty is an agricultural nation, and the development of cavalry has always been the shortest shortcoming.

Not to mention that Zhou Xuanhao has the identity of a Kaiping king, it is inconvenient to do a lot of things under the nose of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, even if it is a relatively free Taiping Holy Sect in all aspects, and there is no idea of vigorously developing the cavalry team for many years.

The training of cavalry is not just a matter of cost, there are many rather complex factors involved.

"I know. ”

Luo Chong knew the truth better than anyone else, so he nodded and smiled: "As long as it is a healthy young and strong soldier, even if they can't ride a horse at all, it doesn't matter, the so-called five thousand cavalry is just a statement, what kind of Cheng dù can be done, there is no need to be stubborn." ”

"That's good. ”

Zhou Xuanhao had the momentum that a prince should have, straightened up and nodded: "If that's the case, don't say five thousand, I can send twenty or thirty thousand people to you within a month!"
