Lincheng Ink Chapter 191: The Trickster King is worried
When Yingruge left, he made a suggestion to Zhong Xihou, if he Zhong Xihou felt that the two children were good, he could accept them as disciples and teach them the martial arts. Zhong Xihou did not answer this question directly, but said that he would train these two children well, first practice the heart and then the sword, and succeed in the future, whether to stay in the West or travel the world, let the two children decide for themselves.
After the excitement, Zhong Xihou was once again the only one left, Zhong Xihou sat slumped in the chair, holding the empty cup in his mouth, and the cup kept swaying up and down. As soon as his mouth loosened, the teacup fell, and Zhong Xihou reached forward, caught the teacup, and put it on the table. Then he got up and walked out of the house.
Zhong Xihou went to a wing room in the corner of the house, or rather, another study after vacating the wing room and rearranging it.
Zhong Xihou lightly slammed the door, and a soft voice from inside "entered", and Zhong Xihou pushed the door open and walked in. When the people inside saw that it was Zhongxi Hou, they immediately stood up from their chairs, gave Zhongxi Hou a blessing, and said respectfully: "Master Hou, is there something wrong with this?"
This study was specially arranged for the use of the king, and the room was originally quite large, but now it was filled with rows of bookshelves, and one blue book after another was thrown on the ground around the desk. There was still half of the ink left in the inkstone on the desk, and there were four or five broken pens next to the inkstone.
Zhong Xihou's study is quite tidy, but this tricky king's study can only be described as a mess.
Perhaps because Zhong Xihou saw the embarrassing scene in his study, King Wei's face couldn't help but show a little guilt. Zhong Xihou smiled slightly, and then waved his hand, and a gust of wind passed, and the blue books that were originally lying quietly on the ground floated up and were neatly stacked on the table.
Zhong Xihou turned around and closed the door, then moved a chair and sat down, and said straight to the point: "King Wei, Gu plans to leave tomorrow and return to the West, you, what is the arrangement?"
King Wei took a blue book from the table and respectfully handed it to Zhong Xihou, who only glanced at it casually after taking it, and couldn't help frowning. He looked at the Trick King, but the Trick King nodded, indicating that the content above was not false at all.
Zhong Xihou was a little helpless, and said: "This old dragon king is really an old fox, and in the end, he has to be alone to be this wicked man." β
In addition to these, King Jinling also sent a letter. β
Zhong Xihou also took the letter, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and saw the content on it, first startled, and then laughed. The King of Tricks was a little puzzled, and looked puzzled.
Zhong Xihou stopped laughing and explained: "Gu Zheng plans to let Tianqin go to investigate, there is a tavern in the city that never sleeps, pick a big one and give it to the junior brother." The little junior brother plans to settle down outside Hangzhou, open a restaurant, and live an ordinary life. From this point of view, these two brothers are finally going to meet each other in their true colors. β
Hearing this situation, King Wei also showed a shallow smile. But she thought of what Zhongxi Hou asked before, frowned slightly, hesitated for a few moments, and finally replied: "Since the Hou Ye wants Tianqin to stay in Jinling City for the time being, the cooperation with the Zhu family was all done by the old city lord's generation, and now the Hou Ye has begun to take over these thoroughly, and the slave family, it is better to stay in Jinling City first." β
Zhong Xihou nodded and continued, "But what are the origins of those people who have found out the Yama Palace?"
King Wei took another blue book from the table, and still respectfully handed it to Zhongxi Hou. Zhong Xihou also flipped through it roughly, and then showed a strange look, and said a few times: "Sure enough, the little junior brother is just a reckless man after all." However, the one in the Twilight Tower is indeed a fat fox, and even if I don't sleep in the city, it will take me so much time to find out. β
"Nothing to do, even if he is the little junior brother of the Hou Ye, there are times when he is kept in the dark, no wonder he. β
Zhong Xihou nodded and continued: "That's true, since the old dragon king wants to help alone, then let the people on this list go." Even if you tell the fat fox in the twilight building, Xidi, it's not easy to mess with. β
Seeing Zhong Xihou's decision, King Yi smiled with satisfaction, as if he had seen his disciple finally grow to the point where she was satisfied. If it was the people of the Yama Palace who did these things, it was sent by Zhongxi Hou on the surface, but with the ability of King Jinling, how could they not know that these people were from the Dusk Cold Tower?
At that time, the fat fox in the Dusk Hanlou will have to think carefully about what kind of attitude he should have towards the city that never sleeps and the city that never sleeps.
The King hesitated for a few moments, but finally decided to speak, and said, "Master Hou, there is one thing that needs to be decided by Lord Hou. β
Zhongxihou was a little puzzled, he gave power to the king of tricks, and it can also be said that the power in the hands of this king is no different from him. The trickster king is resolute and resolute, and the design strategy is ruthless and fierce. This suddenly had something to ask himself, and Zhong Xihou also wondered. He nodded, motioning to the Trick King but saying it was okay.
King Wei also nodded and continued: "Zhu Jiying set up a bureau a few years ago, and this bureau was only known to the west in the past few days, and the slave family didn't know if the west should be mixed up. β
Hearing that it was Zhu Zhiying, Zhong Xihou was slightly stunned, puzzled, but a little curious.
"This game is called the Qingyang Gambling Game, and it is rumored to be about the lord of the five cities and many rich and celebrities. Those rich and famous people are still investigating, and the five cities related to are known to be Lincheng, Bangfeng City, Thousand Stone City and Tongyi City, and there is one more, which I don't know for the time being. β
"What's it about?"
"Hou Ye only listens to the name, so he can naturally know that this gamble is related to the position of today's son. β
Hearing that it was about the position of the Son of Heaven, Zhongxi Hou laughed, and then said: "This Zhu Zhiying is really interesting, a few years ago, a few years ago, it seems that if this Zhu Zhiying is not crazy, the situation in this world is really unpredictable." The five-city gambling game is not smooth, so this gambling game is a six-city gambling game. "Fun read
King Wei understood what Zhong Xihou meant and nodded, but then Zhong Xihou spoke again, saying something that made King Wei frown and even gasp.
"King Wei, I forgot to tell you, Zhu Jiannan, dead. β
The Trick King's eyes were first shocked, then panicked, and finally worried. This series of changes made Zhongxihou a little puzzled, Zhu Jiannan died, how could King Wei have so many emotions.
King Wei finally opened his mouth to explain: "Zhu Jiannan is dead, and the situation in Daye should change again. β
"Tell me about it. β
King Wei nodded and continued: "King Jinling is old, Zhu Yinuo has not yet become a king, and as soon as Zhu Jiannan dies, he will be in the city, and he will lose his core leadership. Inside Lincheng, personnel changes, power changes, what will happen in it, Hou Ye can imagine. Outside, I think that the envoys from all cities will flock to it, and it is difficult to say how to divide the interests of the city. β
What the King of Tricks said was all conventional, and the Marquis of Zhongxi was a little puzzled, if it was just like that, how could it make the King of Tricks look so sad.
"If it's just these, that's it, it's terrible, if today's son knows that Zhu Jiannan is dead, I'm afraid that he will think of ways to start cutting the domain. In this way, the whole Daye will definitely start up again-chaos, and the western land is really unfavorable. β
Hearing King Wei's explanation, Zhongxi Hou frowned and nodded.
Hearing the king sigh again, he continued: "I think that the king of Jinling will also temporarily block the news of Zhu Jiannan's death, and he will return to power in Lincheng. Zhu Jiannan has done many things himself, if he has been staying in the Forbidden City and does not show up, he can hide it for a while. β
"So, how long can you hide it?"
King Wei stretched out three fingers, but his tone was a little uncertain: "Maybe three years." β
"Three years?"
Zhong Xihou lay down again, rubbing his chin, and began to think about the question of time. Then he sat up straight, nodded, and said, "If, what Gu said is if, if Mo Ming is in power in Lincheng, maybe it will drag on until the time for Zhu Yinuo's young python to turn into a dragon?"
King Wei nodded directly, without the slightest hesitation, and said: "During the time I came to Jinling, the slave family has been observing a person, if I can, the slave family wants to accept this person as a protΓ©gΓ©." β
Hearing that King Wei wanted to accept disciples, Zhong Xihou's eyes shot a golden light, and said, "Which little lady or son can get the favor of King Wei?"
But when it came to who this person was, the king hesitated for a while, and the air was quiet for a moment. Zhong Xihou kept staring at him, and King Wei finally said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "This person is the grandson of the Li family in Jinling, Li Pinghong." β
"Li Pinghong?"
Zhong Xihou couldn't help frowning, and he also hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and said, "This person's surname is Li, it is impossible for him to defect from Lincheng." But if it is the person you take a fancy to the king, it is not good to seek personal desires for some power, and I want you to give up. The boxer disciple keeps a hand, you must not forget this truth. β
Hearing Zhongxihou's promise, King Wei's face also showed a little joy. After talking about private matters, King Wei began to talk about business again, and said: "The death of the old city lord has nothing to do with King Jinling. β
After King Wei finished speaking, Zhong Xihou couldn't help but gasp, he would never have thought that King Wei would suddenly come up with such a sentence. Then Zhong Xihou's voice trembled a little, and he asked, "King Wei, this matter is no joke. β
The King of Tricks was a little puzzled and shook his head, indicating that the information was correct.
Zhong Xihou collapsed in his chair again in an instant, and then kept letting out a self-deprecating laugh. Seeing that Zhongxihou seemed to be stupid, the king of treachery was even more puzzled.
"King Wei, do you know that not long ago, the old dragon king told Gu that he killed his father-in-law. It was he who sent his father-in-law's sister to his father-in-law's bed, which made his father-in-law ashamed and finally killed himself. β
Hearing that King Jinling told Zhongxi Hou like this, the doubts in King Wei's eyes were even worse, and he was puzzled: "In addition to being the disciple of the Dugu City Lord, the old city lord also once apprenticed to a teacher, and that person is the third brother of the King of Jinling. This senior also has a disciple, called Wen Jiu, and our people know that it is the Hou Ye who is exploring, so this senior called Wen Jiu told everything calmly. β
"Wen Jiu, Wen Jiu, So, Lonely, does he still have an uncle and uncle? What did he say?"
The King hesitated, as if he didn't know how to speak. Zhong Xihou kept staring at her, and the king was finally helpless, so he had to tell everything: "Wen Jiu's evaluation of the old city lord is a pig and a dog. β
