Volume 1 Study Tour Chapter 68 Seek the world and make a clear plan
At night, at the post house in Suncheon City, a figure wearing a night suit sneaked in. The people living here are all famous and well-known people in the rivers and lakes, for them, King Yan is not too harsh, and there are only a few soldiers to maintain order, so that the defense here is slightly inferior to other places.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, but I really miss you. ”
The black-clothed figure fell into the room, first bowed respectfully, and then said: "Meet the prince, I heard that the prince came out of the mountain, and the old general of the palace, Wang Lingdong, came to protect him." ”
"The entanglement of power and lust in the world has nothing to do with Xiaodao, and now calling you an uncle is just a thank you for taking care of Xiaodao back then. ”
The blue-eyed and purple-haired Taoist priest did not wait for Wang Lingdong to finish speaking, and bluntly stated that he had been separated from this world, and the identity of the son of the world was only a burden.
Wang Lingdong was furious, as one of the generals under King Ning who could fight well in the past, not only was he brave in battle, but his temper was also hot. "What kind of ecstasy soup did Longhu Mountain pour into the world, which actually made you have the mind of being born, see me go back, order all the people and horses, kill Longhu Mountain, and ask these bulls to give an explanation!"
"Xiaodao's move has nothing to do with the mountain gate, Wang Jushi doesn't have to be like this, if Wang Jushi really wants to lead the troops here, Xiaodao is also willing to live and die with the dragon and tiger. ”
Hearing the prince's categorical answer, Wang Lingdong was full of helplessness, so he had to sigh: "Alas, you kid, you really follow the stubborn temper of the prince. ”
The little Taoist priest smiled when he heard this, although the cultivator is away from home, he can also enjoy this kind of care without any utilitarianism.
"What grievances did the prince suffer on this trip?"
"Uncle Wang don't worry, I came with my family teacher to help, King Yan is very polite to us, and when the dust settles, we will also set off for the mountain. ”
"Why don't you stop by and have a look?"
"When I returned to Longhu, I would naturally go home to visit my parents, but I was cultivating in Longhu Mountain, but my father worshiped the Buddha at home, which really gave Xiaodao a headache. ”
Wang Lingdong's stiff face also showed a smile, when the prince sent the prince to the dragon and tiger to avoid disaster, he built a family temple at home to worship the Buddha, and prayed for His Royal Highness the prince every day. According to the private statements of these rough people, the reason why the son of the world is blessed is not only because of the blessing of the Taoist gate, but also because the Buddhist gate is quietly working behind the scenes.
There was silence for a while, "The prince doesn't ask me why I'm here?"
The Taoist priest sighed slowly, "You don't have to ask to guess, is it my father's order?"
"It's not that the prince ordered, everything in the palace is the princess in charge at this time, the prince just concentrates on worshipping the Buddha and doesn't ask about foreign affairs. ”
"And this is my mother's order?"
"No, the princess is a person who has no quarrel with the world, so naturally she will not send us here. ”
"Then why did Uncle Wang come here to obstruct the opening of the ghost market, as far as I know, my father and King Zhao did not have a good relationship. ”
"I think that back then, the prince and the king of Yan were both the kings of the immediate domain, and they had great achievements, but now that the king of Yan has recently won the ghost market, I am afraid that the power will leave our Ning Wangfu far behind. ”
"Over the years, I have been cultivating in Longhu Qing, but it is not that the news is closed, and Ning Wangfu has long been much worse than before. After my father believed in the theory of cause and effect, a large number of the old generals of Ning Wangfu switched to others, and some of them were disarmed and returned to the field, leaving only a few people such as Uncle Wang still in the mansion. Uncle Wang's father has come here, doesn't it mean that there are no available people for the younger generation in the house?"
"Since the prince is clear, why don't you go back to the house to preside over the overall situation?"
"I don't think it's bad, my father and Uncle Wang, they have fought to the death on the battlefield for half their lives, except for a little prestige, all that is left is pain. Now that I'm older, it's not bad to enjoy the joy of teasing my grandson. ”
"But now the prince only has one son left, if you don't get married, where will the prince get the joy of family?"
The Taoist priest's head is full of black lines, how can it involve his own head. "The matter of bloodline inheritance, Xiaodao has his own opinions, but why can't Uncle Wang let go of his obsession?"
"My subordinates have been living a life of licking blood from the knife, and now that they are idle, they only feel sore. For a killer like us, it is our fate to die on the battlefield, and it is better than dying of old age and sickness. ”
The Taoist priest saw that the person in front of him was firm, so he gave up the idea of persuasion, "Everyone has their own ambitions, I don't force it, it's just that Uncle Wang has all kinds of plans, and he needs to protect himself first." Whether the power is present or not is just a different way of living. ”
"The prince of the world is in a calm state of mind, and his subordinates admire him. It's just that his subordinate is a man who only recognizes the banner of King Ning, and swears to share the glory and disgrace with King Ning's Mansion, and King Ning's Mansion has declined, and his subordinates have no place to stay. ”
It is the Taoist priest who is dedicated to cultivating the Tao and does not want to be contaminated with mundane things, and he can't help but say a good man in his heart, Ning Wangfu is no longer the Ning Wangfu of the past. Although he still enjoyed the favor of the vassal king, the power in his hands was greatly weakened.
The Taoist priest made a gesture and said, "Uncle Wang is loyal and righteous, and my nephew is grateful to him, that is, the palace is ruined, as long as we still eat, we will not let our family go hungry." The nephew Yu Longhu cultivated, and his parents at home asked his uncle to take care of him. ”
Wang Lingdong was moved by this move of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World and cried bitterly, as long as the Prince of the World approved, even if he gave this life to the palace, it would not be a matter. Entrusting the family is the greatest trust, and it is in vain that he has been running around for the palace for many years.
The heroes of the rivers and lakes who live here are many people, and soon the news was passed on to King Yan and Monk Liming.
"Strategist, how credible are you listening to what my nephew said?"
"There was still some credibility, but now there is no one. It turned out that he was in contact with the prince of Ning Wang, thinking that he was a year-round cultivator, so he was not familiar with human feelings. But today, seeing what he said, he began to want to capture the old man and said that he was devoted to the Tao and had no intention of the world, and then he pretended to be moved, gathered people's hearts, and finally threw out a big killing weapon entrusted to the family. ”
"According to what the military master said, Ning Wangfu is dormant waiting for change. ”
"Yes, power is the most erosive thing, King Ning also participated in the seizure of the heir back then, for that chair, he always had a thought, just to cultivate Buddha as a cover, it seems to be a little thin. ”
"King Ning has a big heart, how can he easily agree to form an alliance with us? Now it is true that there are common enemies, but we have the same goal, and if we really reach the imperial city, we can't escape the battle between Ning Wangfu and Yan Wangfu. The sick prince also listened and voiced his doubts.
"So, we also need the help of one person. ”
"Who?"
"When Your Majesty wants to cut the domain, we will follow his wishes. Now that Your Majesty has not lost his morality, few people are willing to sacrifice their heads with us to pull the flag and rebel, and it is too whimsical to overthrow the court with the power of one family. ”
"It's really not like what the military advisor said. The man surnamed Ma laughed behind Shizi.
As the most fanatical rebel in the Yanwang Mansion, now he says that he has no confidence first, is it possible that he will change his mind and become a submissive citizen next?
The poor monk himself did not believe that he could say such a thing. Everyone laughed.
"It's just a proper reasoning based on the current situation, now that we and Liaodong are in the north, we still have the demon sect in the rear, and we still have the demon sect in the rear. ”
"What does the military advisor mean is that we have to put ourselves in a position of bitterness and win the sympathy of the world?"
"Yes, a bitter vassal king, forced to guard the frontier, and finally wanted his family business to prosper, but was expropriated by his own emperor brothers, it sounds very sympathetic, doesn't it?"
"It's a bit off. King Yan made a rare expression of his opinion.
"Brother vendetta will only become a laughing stock, born in the royal family, it is a good fortune that the poor family hopes for but cannot obtain. ”
"What the prince said is true, so if you want to touch the people, at least it has to be a drama of loyal ministers suffering. ”
"We pretended to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor to cut the domain, but in fact, we wanted the world to see His Majesty the Emperor's insatiable nature, and we didn't even leave a trace of life for our brothers. ”
"It's still a bit crude, but that's the general idea. When the time is ripe, when King Yan and King Ning can no longer endure the pressure of His Majesty the Emperor, the two join forces to have a chance of winning. ”
"According to the military plan, what should we do next?"
"The prince and the Ma brothers went to Jinling, waiting for an opportunity, the money was not enough, and despite the cost, only the military power could not be put down. ”
"Obey the orders of the military advisor. ”
The prince then left with the man surnamed Ma to pack his bags, in this Yan Wang's mansion, the monk Liming has the same authority as the king of Yan, and in the past actions, the monk Liming has also proved his worth.
"It is announced that the ghost market will not be open for the time being, and we will notify you separately after we screen the members. ”
