Chapter 240: How to Show Sincerity for the Alliance (2)
Letting the lord of a country personally touch the hinterland of the enemy country sounds somewhat conspiratorial.
Hearing that the three of them made such a request, Yu Lingyi's face instantly became very ugly.
If it had been his own thoughts, he would have said "absolutely not" by now.
In Yu Lingyi's view, the key to the Turkic country's northern expedition is Duanmuyu himself, and other military resources, men, and intelligence are just external forces. Even if there are no soldiers and horses of the Xu family, no information about picking up the Star Pavilion, and no silver money from the bank, only Duanmuyu is in charge, the Turkic Kingdom and Dahua will win the battle.
Taking Duanmuyu's safety in exchange for the allegiance of the Xu, An, and Chen families is by no means a good deal. Perhaps it should be said that there is nothing in this world that can be exchanged for the safety of the emperor of the Turkic country.
"Mr. Xu, do you know what you're talking about?" Yu Lingyi stared at Xu Xiaoyu and snorted coldly.
Hearing the non-negotiable tone in Yu Lingyi's mouth, Xu Xiaoyu was angry, looked at him, and reprimanded loudly: "The three of us are ready to risk tens of thousands of lives to conspire with the Turkic country, if we can't meet the people who are plotting the situation, how can we feel at ease? How to explain to the old and young of the clan? Since the Turkic country wants to conquer Dahua in the north, doesn't the lord even have the courage to come to his homeland!"
"Buzz~~~"
Yu Lingyi finally couldn't help it, pulled out his sword from the sheath, and shouted: "Presumptuous!"
... ...
Although Emperor Yonghua's illness has never been disclosed to the public in the palace, however, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he must be no longer good. If it weren't for the emperor's terminal illness, King Duan would not dare to regent in the court, and the palace would not have changed its martial law.
Xia Muyan is now the eldest son of the emperor, and the only prince among the six princes, plus the position of his mother Empress Hu, once Emperor Yonghua dies, he can directly take over as the emperor.
What if Xia Muyan died?
Several princes are widow kings, and this throne is for them to sit on, and they dare not sit on it.
The only ones who can fight are the three princes of Xia Chenghuan, Xia Chengcan and Xia Chengxuan.
"On the verge of ascending the throne?"
Ran Jingru thought about it for a long time, and felt that this matter was also very possible.
"Cheng Hyun went out early in the morning, thinking that he was going to contact those families. Although the three kings have been fighting for many years, they have never formed much resentment. If the Jaw Palace's Mansion makes a big effort at this critical juncture, they will get revenge, and it may be impossible to say if they are really willing to support Cheng Hyun to ascend the throne. ”
"This Zhang Suiguang can hold so many extremely hidden objects, and he is by no means an ordinary gang leader. He didn't want anything, as long as he had a handle in the palace, he must be thinking about blackmailing Chengxuan to do things for him in the future. This person is not small, and being held by him is also a disaster..."
This degree is the work of a cup of tea.
"What handle do you want?" Ran Jingru finally made up her mind to make this deal with him.
She wants to kill Xia Muyan to take revenge!
She wants to push Xia Chengxuan to seize the throne!
As long as you can do these two things, why not drink to quench your thirst?
"What handle do you want?" Ran Jingru asked again.
... ...
Hearing that Xia Chengxuan was coming, Xia Muzhou was very surprised.
In the past eighteen years, Xia Chengxuan has only gone to Duanwangfu twice, once three years ago and the other thirteen years ago. The first time is Duanwang's Jiazi birthday, and the second time is to do 70 birthdays.
"What is he doing here now?"
The first thing Xia Chengxuan did after entering the mansion was to see Duanwang. Duanwang is his ancestor and the master who taught him, and he knows that he is seriously ill, even if he is busy, he has to go to see it first.
Hearing the news that Duanwang was seriously ill, and even said that he was "running out of oil and running dry" and "the day is not safe", but what he didn't expect was that when he walked into Duanwang's room, he was sitting.
Being able to sit alone, instead of lying down, shows that his illness is by no means as serious as it has been reported by the outside world.
"Duanfuzi!" Xia Chengxuan naturally called out.
According to the ceremony, he should have called Duanwang "Huang Shuzu".
"Sit down!" said King Duan, pointing to the brocade stool beside the bed. His face was no different at the moment than when he was teaching at the Academy.
"Are you here for me today?"
To be honest, Xia Chengxuan didn't know that Duanfuzi's condition had improved so quickly, and he originally came to find Xia Muzhou, the prince of Duanwang, today.
"Master, I'm here to find Uncle Wang today. Xia Chengxuan replied softly.
The three kings have been competing for the crown prince for many years, and the Duanwang Mansion has always been neutral and independent, and each does not help each other. But he didn't believe that at this time, Duanwangfu would still be able to stay out of the matter. He came today for the sole purpose of wanting Duanwangfu to join his camp.
Xia Muzhou, who was on the side, interjected: "Chengxuan, if there is anything, you can just tell your father directly." ”
Xia Chengxuan glanced back at him, stared at King Duan again, and said, "I'm just afraid that I will delay the master's rest." ”
Although King Duan can sit, his face is not bad, however, he is still sick after all, and he has also passed the age of antiquity, so it is better to rest more.
"Muzhou, go take a look outside. Duan Wang nodded, and said Xia Muzhou.
This is naturally to beware of someone eavesdropping outside the door.
"I'm fine now, if there's anything, just say it!"
After King Duan fell early yesterday morning, Suspense and Suspense Ning gave him a pulse, and it was indeed a weakness and exhaustion of essence, which was already a sign of running out of oil. When the family members heard the bad news, they all knelt on the ground and begged for help in suspense for the overall situation of the country. The internal strength of the suspense heart washing marrow meridian has not reached the state, and it is really insufficient to have more than enough energy.
Master Xuanning in the room listened to anything, and at this time, where would he still be the slightest bit angry with King Duan because of the death of Hanging Yue? He quietly listened to Xia Muzhou's words and got into a critical situation in time, and gradually realized that the reason why King Duan had reached the point where the oil ran out and the lamp dried up was that he couldn't rest day and night for 20 consecutive days, and he was exhausted for state affairs.
Although monks practice meditation and seek a pure heart and few desires, they are by no means ruthless and unrighteous. After listening to Xia Muzhou's complaint, the old monk Xuanning immediately locked the door, helped Duan Wang, and used his internal strength of more than 60 years of marrow washing skills to help him pass the blood and warm the essence. Yesterday night, Duanwang was able to get up and eat, and after resting for another night, his body was fine, and he was more vigorous than before his illness.
"Master, your illness?" Xia Chengxuan asked tentatively.
There were some tears in Duanwang's cloudy eyes, and he sighed softly: "Master Xuanning will not hesitate to die to save me, how dare I get sick again?"
Hanging Ning was already in his old age, and his body was hard and strong, thanks to his deep internal strength to cleanse the marrow. In order to save King Duan, he had exhausted his strength and injured his meridians, and people were not able to do it at that time.
"Don't talk about that. Why did you come here today?" asked Duan Wang in a deep voice.
... ...
"Don't you even have the courage to come to your homeland?"
Xu Xiaoyu's words were not polite at all, and it was no wonder that Yu Lingyi couldn't help but draw his sword.
An Wuyu stood between the two at the right time and comforted: "Sit down, don't hurt the harmony." ”
Yu Lingyi also slowly calmed down at this time, "Yes, the three of them are all in Dahua. Let them do everything they have to make a conspirator with the Turkic country, and it is really a bit insincere to rely on their own words. Once the three families are determined to serve the Turkic country, there is no way out, and if some clues are found by the Dahua court, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Thinking like this, it is not too much for the three of them to meet the monarch of the Turkic country and keep the promised things in person.
"Mr. Xu, Master Ange, Master Chen, Yu has a proposal. Yu Lingyi looked at the three of them separately and said, "If the three of you want to talk to the emperor about the granting of the seal, why don't you go to Yinyang City with me?" Seeing that the three of them were frowning, he said, "At the moment, the two countries are hostile, and the emperor is really not suitable to go into danger!"
What he said was a compromise method, and he thought that the three of them would make concessions, but they all frowned and remained silent.
"Three, what do you think?" Yu Lingyi looked at the three of them with an inquiring expression.
Xu Xiaoyu exhaled deeply, looked at An and Chen, and replied: "Mr. Yu, please ask the emperor to come to Dahua, and listening to his personal promise and intention to keep it is the only request of the three of me." ”
Disagree?
Yu Lingyi's face finally eased a little, and froze again.
"Although our three surnames are descendants of the Duanmu clan, the three family businesses have been accumulated in Dahua for more than 300 years. The country is seeking China, and we are naturally willing to be this pawn. We are willing to give all our money, this is our sincerity. Shouldn't the imperial court of the Turkic Kingdom also show us its sincerity?" Xu Xiaoyu said in a deep voice, seeing that Yu Lingyi was about to speak, and said, "If the emperor comes to Dahua, the three of us will naturally try our best to protect him, with the strength of our three families, no one in the world can hurt the emperor by half a point." ”
The three of them came to protect the emperor's thoughtfulness?
Yu Lingyi lowered his head and pondered, during which he wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally asked, "If Qing Xuanzi comes, can you withstand it?"
You must know that Qing Xuan killed Duanmu Lan in front of the top ten martial arts guests of the Imperial Court of the Turkic Kingdom.
Can the three families work together to restrain Qing Xuan? This is what Yu Lingyi wants to know the most.
"Even if Qingxuan, Yi Qilin, Yun Xiaomeng, Zhang Suiguang, Jin Shenfeng and others all come together, they will not be able to go back!" Xu Xiaoyu replied, describing with confidence.
... ...
"This is absolutely not possible!" Ran Jingru said categorically. Although her words were sonorous, her face was obviously full of hesitation.
It was so important that it would make her abandon her position and her humanity.
Zhang Suiguang was still tapping lightly on the table with his five fingers, "Bang bang... The voice was in stark contrast to Ran Jingru's expression.
"I'm trading so many things for you, and it's certainly not so easy to do. Zhang Suiguang chuckled and said, "The emperor's funeral should be in these few days, you have to think about it." Once you and I have not formed an alliance before this, no one will be able to stop Xia Muyan from ascending the throne. My salt gang is a sect of the rivers and lakes, so it's a big deal not to get involved in the affairs of the court in the future. You Jaw Palace, I don't know where else to retreat?"
Ran Jingru naturally knew that what he said was not false, however, his request was too embarrassing, "If you want to kill the people of Meifu, just send your own people, I can pretend that I don't know." With that, tears welled up in her eyes, and her nails were in her palms.
Mei Siyuan has never had two thoughts about the Jaw Palace, and it is impossible for Ran Jingru to be indifferent to seeing him die.
"Hehe, the princess was wrong. Zhang Suiguang said with a smile, "King Yun's Mansion sent more than two hundred dead soldiers to kill Mei Siyuan, and I only sent a few hundred people to intercept him, how could I want to kill him?"
Zhang Suiguang didn't want to kill Mei Siyuan, why did he want Baiweitang to destroy Meifu?
Without waiting for Ran Jingru to ask again, he continued: "I want a handle from the Jaw Palace, and this handle is, you killed Mei Siyuan's family!"
As soon as the team from the Jaw King's Mansion arrived at the stable, Du Chong came up and told Xia Chengxuan about Zhang Suiguang's visit.
When Xia Chengxuan rushed to the side hall, he happened to hear Zhang Suiguang say this-
"I want a handle from the Jaw Palace, and this handle is, you killed Mei Siyuan's family!"
