Volume 2 Chapter 101 My name is Orchid

Sedum thought that he had found a way to deal with these old men, although these people were all very powerful princes in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but after all, they were all old men in his eyes.

Since he is an old man, then he has a way to deal with them, his fake old man has been fighting with him for many years, although most of them are lost by himself, but Sedum does not feel that he is losing, but feels that he has won.

But he forgot that he could lose to the old man at home, and how could he not lose to these obviously cunning old men opposite?

Listening to Sedum's prevarication, Wei Guogong smiled and glanced at several other princes and said, "But now His Royal Highness is in the Tang Dynasty, and Ling Zun Dingnan is in Dingnan City." ”

Sedum immediately understood what Wei Guogong meant? The so-called people should act there, and people should not react first wherever they are close.

Just as you must first find water sources in an arid desert, you must first find islands in the vast ocean, you must first find human tracks in a wild and uninhabited wilderness, and you must first find a way down the mountain when you are on a towering mountain.

Since you are in the Southern Tang Dynasty, then you have to face the complex problem now, instead of pushing it away, and you can't push it off.

Let the family go to find Hong Zhao, the king of Dingnan, don't say it's unrealistic, even if you find Hong Zhao, what can you do, Hong Zhaowan can use his stay away from Nantang as an excuse.

Sedum felt very aggrieved, isn't this a hooligan? Do you have to force yourself to make a statement? Obviously, even if you express your position, it will not have any effect, and even force the hidden forces of all sides to do bad things, can't you push it off if you want to?

"Your Highness's identity is special, first of all, you have to recognize your own specialness, and then you need to make a decision to ......!"

Because Cao Guogong likes Sedum very much, he has spent the longest time with Sedum in the mission station, so he is also the most kind to him, and he also opened his mouth to persuade at this moment.

"Actually, many years ago, we have already gone to find your father, there are a lot of hidden secrets here, I am afraid that your father has already guessed about his life experience, and has also done some investigation for this, but I don't know what the reason, the news will let the Shendu court know ......!"

Lu Guo said openly: "In order to help King Dingnan get rid of unnecessary trouble, we have made a lot of sacrifices, and I don't know how many people have died......!"

"yes...... There are some things that King Dingnan may not have told you, but it doesn't mean that they haven't happened, and if you ask him, he will definitely tell you. ”

Cao Guogong was still sighing, because these decisions were made by the three of them together, and the original Dingnan Wang Hongzhao finally gave his own answer, that is, let him think about the whole thing carefully, and then reply.

Only then did Sedum know that the old man sent himself to Nantang was the answer he gave, this old guy was too much, and he would definitely settle accounts with him when he went back!

And not only did he think so, but I am afraid that the three princes of the Southern Tang Dynasty who were doing it probably also thought so, and the arrival of Sedum was actually the reply given by Hongzhao, the king of Dingnan.

This is probably the most fundamental reason for all the situations faced today, Sedum is naturally bitter now, in addition to slandering his father in his stomach, he can only make contemplation on the surface.

He listened to the three princes talk to him, from the royal inheritance of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to all the glory of the entire royal clan, and then to the current predicament!

Especially at present, the emperor has no heir, and he is also facing the battle for succession, but in fact, the cruelty of Li Honglie, the king of Ping, is easy to kill, but he wants to get involved in the throne with his clan relatives!

Only then did Sedum know that Li Honglie was not surnamed Li, he was just a person with a foreign surname adopted by King Ping, and because of the laws of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he inherited the identity of King Ping.

Moreover, this person is extremely ambitious, not only colluding with the feudal towns in various places, gradually co-opting a few jiedu envoys, but also raising private armies, and even colluding with pirates of the ocean, and even the owners of several islands, promising great benefits to the other party, just so that in the future, in the event of an incident, the other party can send troops and warships to assist him.

Over the years, under the continuous management of Li Honglie, the king of Ping, his power has become bigger and stronger, and the court has to be jealous of him, and even connived at him to do a lot of lawless things.

In the past few years, Li Honglie has been even more arrogant and domineering, a large amount of land outside the southern city has been taken by him, and he has recruited strange people, and the group of stone giants around him are actually from the island!

And he engages in piracy every year, and I don't know how much of the wealth of the Southern Tang Dynasty has been swallowed up, and how many innocent merchants and sailors have been killed!

If the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty is unstable, Li Honglie, the king of Ping, will definitely get involved in the throne, and he is also making preparations in many ways, and the rebellion is clearly revealed.

Sedum sat there quietly and listened, asking a few questions from time to time, and the questions he asked were naturally some key points, such as what preparations did the court make when they knew that King Ping was going to rebel?

So far, except for the black-armored iron cavalry at the northern border pass, which is subordinate to Shen Tugang, the general of the Dubei Army's Jiedu envoy, the other Jiedu envoys are unreliable! This shows that they have basically fallen to Li Honglie, the king of Ping.

As for the capital of Nancheng, there are now only 200,000 forbidden troops left, commanded by 12 Wei generals, but with Li Honglie's means, I am afraid that this forbidden army troops may also be infiltrated!

There are very few soldiers available in the hands of the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, which can even be said to be very limited, which creates a very hollow state, and I am afraid that the last stabbing behavior also happened under this situation.

It's not that everyone doesn't know about this situation, but Sedum doesn't feel that they are in a hurry, and even feels that this is normal, which is strange!

Du Beijun Festival envoy Shen Tugang, this person is loyal and very loyal to the royal family, but no one knows that she is a student of Pei Guogong, so she will be hit with a big question mark again.

And the biggest force that decided the choice of the entire imperial court, in addition to the three princes in front of him, was Pei Guogong, and Pei Guogong was already the biggest force, although this old prince had been recuperating from illness and did not come forward.

But everyone knows that once he makes a statement or speaks out, then the civil and military officials of the entire court will immediately fall to him!

The remaining one Zhao Guogong can be ignored, this person is a well-known wall grass, very unreliable.

If Li Honglie succeeds in wooing Pei Guogong, then the entire Southern Tang Dynasty will be over, but everyone knows that Li Honglie is not so easy to get his way, because until now, Pei Guogong's attitude is very ambiguous.

His attitude also affects many people, even the military, at least 200,000 forbidden troops will probably be swayed by Pei Guogong's will.

What Sedum didn't understand was why the three old princes in front of him didn't do something? At least control a little bit of the army?

It turned out that everyone knew that the army and military of the Southern Tang Dynasty were not trustworthy at the moment, and they were not completely hopeless, but they had been cultivating some of their own strength, but the biggest force they were actually pinning their hopes on Hong Zhao's Divine Guard!

At this time, Sedum really didn't know what to say except scolding his mother in his stomach! How could this be? With the army of the Great Jin? Isn't this crazy?

I'm afraid that even Hong Zhao, who is so strong, probably won't dare to use such a blatant public weapon for private purposes, if he uses the Divine Guard Army to go south to seize the throne, then what should the Great Jin side say? There is no way to say it.

Today, he can't express his position at the end, he can only learn from his father now that he just gave everyone a vague answer, he needs to think about it, and he really can't make a final decision now.

Fortunately, Wei Guogong and the others also knew that it was a little difficult for him, so they didn't urge him and allowed him to think for a while, but fortunately, Sedum would stay in the Southern Tang Dynasty for a while, and he would not leave until after the Seagod Sacrifice Ceremony.

Then he had to make a decision before leaving, and this was the deadline.

Sedum left a little depressed, and it wasn't until he returned to Shangshu Mansion that he found that there was an extra person behind him, and this person was the masked woman standing behind Cao Guogong.

Sedum looked at her a little stunned, not knowing what to say.

Seeing his doubts, the masked woman said, "For your safety, the master asked me to follow you. ”

Sedum smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, saying that he sent a bodyguard over for his own safety, not worrying, getting a monitor, and besides, the masked woman by his side can be regarded as a channel to pass on news, this is the real purpose of this woman.

"What's your surname?" Sedum asked.

"The surname is Cao!" said the masked woman.

"Heh......!" Sedum smiled: "Give a surname, right? Actually, it's okay, so what's your name?"

"My name is Orchid!" the masked woman replied briefly.

Sedum nodded and said, "Orchid...... It's very good, some orchids are very precious and very delicate, and you obviously don't look like a deep valley orchid!"

The masked woman glanced at Sedum deeply and did not speak, since the head of the family let her follow Sedum, she naturally knew very well what she was doing, but she felt that there was an aura around His Royal Highness the Prince of the World that he did not like very much.

Maybe this person is a really dangerous existence, so what can I do to help him by following him?

Sedum didn't care what the orchid thought, he knew that since it was so arranged, she could only follow him, but he was very curious about this orchid, so stay by his side.

However, there are a lot of secrets on his body, and with the existence of shadows, he naturally doesn't have to worry about orchids in terms of safety, but what ......about other aspects?

A family banquet of Yuan Shangshu, the result was still calculated, and Sedum is really not so cool today.
