Chapter 198: The Envoy from the North (3)
"It's a lie!"
Liu Xunyi saw that Luo Tianjin's mind was shaken, and he couldn't help but feel worried, like sitting on pins and needles. In a hurry, he suddenly had a plan, so he ignored Xie Xuan's prohibition in vain, and suddenly asked: "You said that the Lord of Chifeng Ridge strongly recommended the Xian Wangfu in front of the Mongolian Great Khan, so what explanation should you make when you appeared in the Western Regions last year and visited the Jade Dragon Palace of the Tianshan Mountains?"
Xie Xuan hadn't spoken out to reprimand, but Luo Tianjin frowned, and at the same time waved his hand to signal that Xie Xian didn't need to say much, as if he wanted to hear Cha Gan's explanation.
Cha Gan seemed to have been prepared, and chuckled slowly: "Yes! The Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace is also one of the targets we want to woo. It's just that the purpose of Zhao'an Yulong Palace is the same as Zhao'an Xian's Mansion...... Completely different. β
"How do you say that?" Ling Xiaoxiao said suspiciously.
"I don't dare to deceive. Cha Gan pretended to explain respectfully, "The Great Khan recruited the Yulong Palace to use their strength to advance westward, and to make friends with the Xian Wangfu ...... Intended to go south. β
"It's nonsense!" Liu Xunyi snorted coldly, "It's clearly a wolf's ambition......"
"Lord Luofu may wish to think carefully, the Jade Dragon Palace is the head of the four great pagan sects. Even if we recruit him, I'm afraid that Ren Wuya will not have the ability to unify the Central Plains. Cha Gan didn't give Liu Xunyi a chance to refute at all, a pair of thief eyes stared at Luo Tianjin, and swore to the heavens and swears, "The Central Plains Martial Arts, there is the Xian Wangfu in the north, and the Golden Sword Dock in the south. Coupled with the six major sects and the four great families, it can be said that the masters are like clouds and strong as rain, and if you want to go against you with just one Jade Dragon Palace, it is tantamount to shaking a tree. We wooed the Jade Dragon Palace, but we didn't want it to become a burden and resistance to the Great Mongolia and dominate the world in the future. Other than that, there is no other use. The Great Khan is wise and martial, and naturally knows that if you want to bring the Central Plains heroes under your command, you must choose the real heroes among the famous and decent families. What's more, the status and prestige of the heroes of the Luo Mansion and the Xianwang Mansion in the rivers and lakes are obvious to all, how can they be comparable to the left side of the door?"
Obviously, Chagan came prepared today, and carefully prepared a whole set of rhetoric. Enwei and grace are combined, and they are both generous and fierce, and they also pretend to be sincere for Luo Tianjin's sake everywhere.
Liu Xunyi only relies on his enthusiasm, and it is really difficult to argue with him.
"Mansion Master!" Liu Xunyi turned his urgent gaze to Luo Tianjin, and pleaded, "You must not be deceived by this person, if the Xianwang Mansion accepts the recruitment of the Mongolian court, it will definitely be scolded and ridiculed by the world's heroes in the future." β
Luo Tianjin's deep eyes stared straight at Liu Xunyi, but he didn't answer. After a long time, Luo Tianjin asked Cha Gan: "Twenty-four Cities and the Huma Gang, why did you choose the Hexi Qin Clan?"
Cha Gan groaned: "Initially, they just wanted to deliberately dismantle the stage and make things difficult for the mountain master, and there was no exact candidate. Later, the battle between Pan and Qin spread in the rivers and lakes. Twenty-four Cities and the Huma Gang learned that the Qin clan in Hexi had formed a bond with the Xianwang Mansion, so they set their sights on Qin Ming. β
As for this, Cha Gan's face changed suddenly, and he said urgently: "Lord Luofu, if they really succeed in recruiting the Qin clan in Hexi, then the Great Khan will definitely give full support to Qin Ming." By then...... The enemy of the Hexi Qin clan is the enemy of the Great Khan, and the person that the Hexi Qin clan wants to deal with is naturally the person that the Great Mongolia wants to deal with. In addition, Wang Xu's unification family died tragically in Luoyang not long ago, and many spearheads will be pointed at the Xianwang Mansion, just afraid of ...... I'm just afraid ......"
Although Cha Gan did not make his words clear, the deep meaning of his words could be understood by everyone present. If there really is that day, the Qin clan in Hexi will definitely use the power of the Mongolian court to eradicate the Xianwang Mansion in one fell swoop.
Ling Xiaoxiao and others, who originally cared about 'the family and the country' and the 'national righteousness', began to hesitate when they were about to face life and death.
"Lord Luofu. Cha Gan continued, "Although you are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, if you are in trouble in the future, will the Great Song Dynasty court be willing to send troops to tide over the difficulties with you?"
Battle sneered and mocked: "The Great Song Dynasty has always been timid and fearful, and it will only give in and out to us, and retreat and retreat. Maybe on that day, the Great Song Dynasty will not only not help you break the siege, but will fall into the ground, sacrifice you, and turn to curry favor with our Great Khan. Haha......"
Chagan and Battle sang and harmonized, which made everyone present blush, and their hearts were ashamed, but they didn't know how to refute it for a while.
Liu Xunyi looked at the melancholy looking crowd, and was furious, gritting his teeth with hatred. He clutched the armrests of his chair with both hands, and whitened the joints of his bones.
"Lord Luofu, don't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again!" Cha Gan followed the temptation and smiled, "In fact, the Great Khan has long known everything that happened in Luoyang City, he just opened one eye and closed one eye. After all, the Great Khan was waiting for the reply of the Lord of Luo, and hoped that the Lord of Luofu would not let the Great Khan down. Hey hey ......"
Seeing the subtle changes between Luo Tianjin's eyebrows, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart, "It's not good!"
At this moment, in order to curb this recruitment, Liu Xunyi can't take care of much. He suddenly got up, stretched out his hand and pointed angrily at Cha Gan, and scolded: "Sharp teeth, clever tongue! Do you think that you can make us rebel against our ancestors with your incorruptible tongue? It's just wishful thinking and daydreaming! I can tell you plainly, not only will we not accept your recruitment, even the Qin clan in Hexi will not accept it either, I advise you to completely die of this dead heart! The Han people have backbone, and they would rather die than be traitorous thieves! Take your dirty money and get out of the ......Xianwang Mansion as soon as possible."
"Liu Xunyi, you are too presumptuous!"
Before the words fell, Xie Xuan was already furious, and shouted: "Come on, blast Liu Xunyi out for me!"
Without waiting for the disciples outside the hall to rush in, Lin Fangda had already taken the lead in running to Liu Xunyi's side, and while complaining to Luo Tianjin and Xie Xuan, he was desperately dragging Liu Xunyi, wanting to take him out of the middle hall.
"Big brother, you let go of me! I can't let this treacherous villain who shakes his lips and puff up his tongue push the Xianwang Mansion into the fire kang......" Liu Xunyi pretended to be angry, sad and angry, and looked crazy, struggling desperately, scolding, and pleading, "Chagan, you have ill intentions, and you can't die well...... Mansion master, don't be rash, beware of a misstep that will turn into a thousand years of hatred......"
"Boom out!" Xie Xuan's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "Otherwise, the family law will serve!"
Hearing this, Ling Qing, Chen Yong and the others' faces changed suddenly, and they all stepped forward and worked together to "rack" the angry Liu Xunyi.
As Liu Xunyi's shouting and scolding faded away outside the hall, Murong Bai turned his eyes slightly and explained to Cha Gan, who was pale: "Liu Xunyi has been assassinated by Long Yu many times, so I am extremely repulsive to you in my heart, and I hope that you don't mind." β
Cha Gan snorted lightly with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Now there is only Liu Xunyi who is in trouble." But if the stalemate continues, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come...... It will not only be Liu Xunyi. Alas!"
After that, Cha Gan looked very good, bowed his hand respectfully to Luo Tianjin, and said: "I implore the lord of Luofu to lead the Xian Wangfu to obey the mandate of heaven and be loyal to the Great Khan!"
In the face of the aggressive investigation and the imminent situation, Luo Tianjin and Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, and there was an unprecedented solemnity in their eyes.
......
At night, Liu Xunyi, who was depressed, drank alone in the room. Xu Heng and Tang Cong waited cautiously outside the door, neither daring to leave without permission nor daring to disturb them.
It wasn't until Lin Fangda, Luo Ningyu, and Luo Hongxuan came uninvited that Xu Heng and the others were relieved and secretly relieved.
In the room, seeing the drunk Liu Xunyi, with a pitiful look of grief and indignation, Lin Fangda and the three couldn't help but look at each other.
Luo Ningyu looked at Liu Xunyi with complicated eyes, and asked Lin Fangda without looking back: "What's wrong with him?" β
"Maybe ......" Lin Fangda was also confused, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Maybe Xunyi is a person who values national integrity, right?"
"Strange man!" Luo Ningyu pursed his lips and complained, "The Mongols are here for my father, not for him, why should he react so much? Besides, whether the Xianwang Mansion accepts the recruitment of the Mongolian court is something that my father has to consider, and it will not be his turn to bother anyway, he is really a nosy weirdo." Hmph!"
In the face of Luo Ningyu's reprimand, Luo Hongxuan and Lin Fangda just smiled bitterly, but they didn't want to refute. Because in their opinion, Liu Xunyi's performance today is indeed a bit abnormal.
As everyone knows, Liu Xunyi at this moment is not worried about the Xian Wangfu, but worried about himself.
Once Luo Tianjin agrees to be loyal to the Mongolian Great Khan, everything that Liu Xunyi has worked so hard for during this period will become meaningless. And his future will also be bleak because of this.
Success and fame will become a bubble in the end.
"You don't have to be like that. Lin Fangda snatched the wine jug from Liu Xunyi's hand and comforted, "The lord of the mansion did not agree to the request of those Tartars in the end, he only said that he would consider it......"
In fact, the mansion master already had the answer in his heart. Liu Xunyi was drunk, looked at Lin Fangda stupidly, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "The house master accepted the gift brought by Cha Gan, which is enough to explain everything." The reason why the mansion owner did not promise on the spot is because there are still many people in the mansion who are in a dilemma, and the mansion owner wants to give everyone time to slowly adapt to ......"
"Hey!" Luo Ningyu stared at her and said angrily, "How dare you judge my father? Even if my father agrees to their request, it is for the sake of the overall situation." After all, it's not for everyone's livelihood? I heard that today, my father repeatedly told Cha Gan that after he returned to Saibei, he would definitely try to make Long Yu give up his pursuit of you. Dad has always been concerned about your life and death, but you are slandering him here, I really have no conscience!"
After saying that, Luo Ningyu quickly picked up Luo Hongxuan, walked out quickly, and complained at the same time: "Brother, we shouldn't come to see him, let him drink and die! Let's go!"
"Brother Liu, you have a good rest......"
Before Luo Hongxuan finished speaking, he was brutally dragged out by Luo Ningyu.
Lin Fangda looked at Luo Ningyu away with an embarrassed face, turned to look at the depressed Liu Xunyi, and hesitated: "Xunyi, in fact, if you think about it carefully, what the Tartar said today is not unreasonable, if it really makes the Hexi Qin clan ......."
"It's fake. Liu Xunyi interrupted, "Big brother, why are you so naΓ―ve? Do you really think that the three major sects in Saibei will intrigue with each other and tear each other down? Do you really think that the Twenty-Four Cities and the Huma Gang will go to recruit the Qin clan in Hexi? No! These are all nonsense that Cha Gan made up to deceive you, and he resorted to such a trick in order to make us skeptical and obediently give in. β
"How do you know?" Lin Fangda asked with a confused expression, "Why are you sure that what Cha Gan said is all false?"
"Because ......"
Liu Xunyi originally wanted to say that because when he was on an errand in Tianji Pavilion, he had already known a lot about the factional disputes within the Mongolian court.
Although the three major sects in northern Cyprus are quite famous in the rivers and lakes, they are insignificant to the huge Mongolian state. The factional disputes in the Mongol court were mainly between the descendants of the imperial family. The Mongols had always been very disciplined towards their subordinates, requiring all their subordinates to share the same hatred and punishment. Therefore, since the three major sects in the northern part of the country were recruited by the Mongol court, they will do everything they are told, and even if they are angry, they will never dare to disobey the yang and the yin, let alone deliberately sow discord and increase internal strife. After all, this was a taboo for the Mongol court.
The words came to his lips, but he was swallowed back by Liu Xunyi. Because as a person in the rivers and lakes, there are some things he shouldn't know in such detail. In case of a gaffe, Liu Xunyi will inevitably arouse suspicion and even expose his identity.
Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi could only sigh and simply say no more.
Lin Fang's mind was rough, so he naturally didn't think much about it. In order to avoid Liu Xunyi's worries, he hurriedly changed the topic and grinned: "Xunyi, how is your foot injury recovering?"
"With Brother Lao's concern, it's not a big deal. Liu Xunyi replied nonchalantly. With that, he snatched the wine jug from Lin Fangda's hand and poured himself a drink.
"Don't worry! If the mansion master doesn't officially agree for a day, this matter won't count for a day. Lin Fangda comforted, "Those Tartars will leave tomorrow, just out of sight and out of mind." β
"Leave tomorrow?" Hearing this, Liu Xunyi suddenly perked up and hurriedly asked, "The mansion master hasn't agreed yet, are they willing to go?"
The lord of the house accepted their gifts and promised that within a month he would give them a satisfactory answer. Hey...... Count them as knowledgeable, and know that we don't welcome them, so I quit early......"
Regarding Lin Fangda's words, Liu Xunyi had long been unable to listen to them. He stared at the wine glass without squinting, and the ripples in the cup were reflected in his pupils, and before he knew it, he had fallen into deep thought.
Suddenly, Liu Xunyi had a flash of inspiration, and an extremely bold plan gradually appeared in his mind.
"Big brother, this matter has made the younger brother quite depressed, if you have time...... Why don't we go to Tianxianglou tomorrow to drink? Drink him in the dark, not drunk and homeless!
