Chapter 85: The Lord and the Ministers Have Different Hearts
"The Nalan family has always been ambitious, isn't today's covenant intended to win over his father?"
I remember that after Gongsun Xiong returned home and told his children everything, Gongsun Chen once said this.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he will not be able to mess around if you sit up straight?" Gongsun Xiong couldn't help but "snort": "If it weren't for his status in the Chamber of Commerce and the vested interests of the association, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to his invitation." ”
That said, my father had better be careful. ”
Gongsun Chen's consolation came to this point, and his own doorman came to say that Huan You sent someone to invite Gongsun Xiong to the mansion to discuss matters. Gongsun Xiong didn't think much about it, and immediately greeted the envoy and immediately came with him to see Huan You.
said that it was a discussion, but what Gongsun Xiong never expected was that Huan You would ask such a question. Gongsun Xiong was very unhappy in his heart, and at the same time, he unreservedly hung his unhappy emotions on his face. How smart Huan You is, why can't he see it? He was silent for a long time and still didn't see Gongsun Xiong's reply, and he was a little angry.
"What, when you meet an old friend, do you still need to be sneaky?" Huan You sneered, and at the same time, his eyes were full of sharp colors: "Can't you talk about anything to me now?"
Gongsun Xiong was suddenly enraged by Huan You's words, and his eyes were also full of sharpness, staring at Huan You at this time. After a long silence, he suppressed the anger in his heart before speaking again.
"My father-in-law Sun Xiong has always sat upright, and there is nothing I can't say. Gongsun Xiong said indifferently, and then his eyes also cast contempt for Huan You: "But the lord, how can you know now that I have met with an old friend? Could it be that you are secretly monitoring my actions and have doubts about me?"
Gongsun Xiong sneered and didn't answer Huan You's question, and at this time he turned against the army. Huan You was angry and immediately took the case. He stared at Gongsun Xiong stubbornly, and Gongsun Xiong was also staring at him with anger at this time. Huan You was silent for a while, but decided to calm his attitude and sat down immediately.
"Vice Master Gongsun, what do you think of my treatment of you?"
Huan You suddenly asked. Gongsun Xiong sneered and couldn't help but nod.
"The Lord has been good to me. He said indifferently: "But in the same way, my grandson's family is also good to the Lord." ”
"It's a good relationship for each other. Huan You nodded calmly: "The vice master is the elder of the three dynasties of the association, and I hope that everything should be based on righteousness." Now that I have confessed my mistakes to you and have received your forgiveness, there are some things that you need to keep a secret for me. ”
"This is natural. Gongsun Xiong nodded, his face still full of displeasure. He sighed lightly, and then couldn't help but divert the topic: "In the past, the Lord ordered people in the palace to pass on the order, and now I am invited to come to the so-called discussion. Now that I have come, dare I ask what is the matter with the Lord who is in counsel?"
Huan You's eyes were cold, and his fists couldn't help but cluck after hearing Gongsun Xiong's words that were neither soft nor hard. He was silent again for a few moments, but his eyes were still sharply fixed on Gongsun Xiong, who was standing at the bottom of the place.
"Nothing. ”
Huan You said softly, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Hehe~ Since there is nothing to do, please allow me to say goodbye now. ”
Huan You didn't speak, but his eyes were still full of sharpness. Gongsun Xiong couldn't help but smile contemptuously when he looked at him, and then turned around and chose to leave without waiting for him to speak.
"Please keep in mind what I have said to you today. ”
Huan You looked at the back of Gongsun Xiong slowly leaving, and couldn't help but say this. Gongsun Xiong sneered, and didn't even turn his head back when he heard this.
"Though the Lord is young, he ought to know the measure of all things. Naturally, we must focus on the righteousness of the meeting, but I hope that the Lord should also be restrained in everything. ”
Gongsun Xiong said that, and then left with his head held high.
Gongsun Xiong left, Huan You sat on the main seat in a daze, and his originally peaceful eyes were also full of murderous intent at this time. The maid came to serve tea, and Huan You was angry and threw the teacup on the ground and smashed it.
"Gongsun Lao'er, you deceive me too much!!"
Huan You shouted angrily, and his voice was like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests. The maids were all stunned, seeing the fragments of teacups scattered everywhere on the ground, no one dared to step forward to clean up.
The two had an estrangement, and soon after, a secret agent reported to the Nalan family mansion again. Xiongba, Cangqiong and others were all overjoyed when they heard it. After laughing for a long time, Xiongba immediately turned his gaze to the sky again.
"My son's plan is wonderful, everything is going according to Jihua. ”
"Although Jihua was initially successful, it only made Gongsun Xiong and Huan You estranged each other. Cangqiong smiled indifferently, and then spoke again: "But to make him determined to kill Gongsun Xiong, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”
"Oh, is there a plan for that?"
"Since Huan You can't make up his mind, then as long as we help him make up his mind. ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"Adding fuel to the fire, let Huan You's suspicion of Gongsun Xiong turn into resentment and a threat to himself, so that he will naturally do something to the Gongsun family. ”
"I see. Xiongba nodded: "So what are we going to do?"
"Four words, stabbing Huan You!"
"What?!??
The sky was shocked, and several people present couldn't help but be surprised.
"This is not a trivial matter, and my father needs to think about it carefully. ”
Qiong Lou, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but say this, and at the same time his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Actually, there's nothing to think about. Cangqiong smiled indifferently: "This matter requires my father to come out in person, and the important thing is the details." The assassination is just an action, and to be precise, it is actually for Huan You to see. Whether it went well or not, it couldn't really put him to death. ”
"Well, I don't understand that. Xiongba immediately frowned and asked, "If it goes well, then we can get rid of Huan You." He is still young, and there is no heir of the Huan family who will inherit the throne in the meeting. If he is killed today, there will be chaos within the Honghuai Society, which must also be a fact. Wouldn't that be more beneficial to us?"
"Father was wrong. Cangqiong shook his head and said, "Although there will be no heirs of the Huan family who will inherit the throne in the meeting after Huan You's death, the elders of the Honghuai Society will definitely elect a new lord to inherit the throne. Furthermore, Huan Youruo's death at this time is indeed not good for us. You must know that although it is not difficult for us to gain the initiative in Motan City, my father should know that it is not just the Honghuai family that is entrenched in Xiongzhou. If Huan You dies and Honghuai will be in chaos, then the factions entrenched around Xiongzhou will have a chance to take advantage of it. At that time, although we will be able to temporarily obtain the ownership of Motan City, it will not be enough to hold on to our current strength. ”
"Well, that's true. Xiongba nodded, and then an indifferent smile appeared on his face: "Go on, I'm really more and more interested in your strategy now." ”
