Chapter Ninety-Nine: Confidant
White Deer City is located in the center of the Four Kingdoms, and it is a veritable strategic artery, and it is precisely because Lin Zhongbo took the risk to attack White Deer City four hundred years ago.
When it came to the Lin Zi period, his ambition was no worse than Lin Zhongbo, and if he wanted to take the world, White Deer City was an important city that had to be conquered, so he sent troops to White Deer City after Shang Zeyi's realm plummeted, and after being blocked by Shang Guo, he put Lin Zixuan next to Shang Zeyi, the new city lord.
In the end, what I want is still White Deer City.
"Hongu is almost convinced by you. ”
Lin Ziqi looked interested, but his words changed abruptly: "But this palace still doesn't believe you." The defense map of White Deer City, how can this palace be sure that it is true. With your status in the Shang Kingdom, this palace believes that you are showing the enemy weakly, giving the picture is false, and it is true to deceive the army of Qi to attack Bailu City, and then take this opportunity to wipe out the army of the southern front of Qi. ”
Shang Zejin probably guessed that Lin Ziqi would say this, he smiled freely, and said indifferently: "This king knows that His Royal Highness doesn't believe it, so the defense map is the hole in the defense of White Deer City, and then plan as shown in the map, I believe that only 10,000 elite soldiers can attack White Deer City." ”
"I believe that with the courage of His Highness, he will test the authenticity of a defense map with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he should not dare to pay such a price. ”
Lin Ziqi put down the wine glass, and his slender fingers tapped Huang Huali's tabletop, and then he slowly raised a finger: "Interesting, you successfully persuaded Bengong to exchange Shang Zeyi's life in case of a plan, and then Bengong can make an exception and make an appointment with you." ”
"What is it?" Shang Zejin asked.
Lin Ziqi looked at him directly, and there were countless conspiracies stirring in his eyes, making him seem to be difficult to see through in the deep sea: "If you can't stay in the Shang Kingdom one day, bring your sincerity to the Qi Kingdom, and the palace will not treat you badly." ”
Shang Ze Jin Pi smiled and said, "The king thanked His Highness first." ”
The two foxes toasted each other, both of them had calculations hidden in their hearts, knowing that the other party was not sincere, but the scene still maintained harmony and did not break it.
Next, they talked about the details of the defense map and the assassination of Shang Zeyi, and both of them refused to back down in time, neither of them was willing to give the hole cards to the other party first, and finally they could only take a step back to reach an agreement.
When Lin Ziqi sent eight rulings to Shang Zejin's side to help him kill Shang Zeyi, the defense map of White Deer City would also be delivered to Lin Ziqi.
After the two reached an agreement, they left separately, and Lin Ziqi didn't want to leak his whereabouts at the post embassy, so he went back to Li's house directly.
He seemed to feel something, looked up at the top of the tallest white tower in the Golden Tower, and smiled defiantly.
At the top of the White Tower, two pairs of eyes were staring at the eighth floor of the Yiyue Tower, and the two people in the building were separated, and the two pairs of eyes were only focused on looking at Lin Ziqi.
Lin Ziqi smiled provocatively, and Shang Zerui, the owner of a pair of eyes above the White Tower, also smiled lightly, and then said: "Lin Ziqi is really my great enemy in life, such a good opportunity, I can't kill him, and even secretly protect him back to Qi State, it's really unwilling." ”
"This man is as unchanged as I did when I first saw him, still a gloomy poisonous snake hidden in the shell of a tortoise, and people hate it with itchy teeth and nowhere to start. ”
On Shang Zerui's side, he is naturally his confidant Chang Si, his health has deteriorated in recent days, his legs and feet are not very neat, and he doesn't want to get up when he sits on the ground like jade, but what remains unchanged is still his daily alcoholism, and the wine gourd does not leave his side.
"Since Shang Zejin has already done the game, it is a matter of time before Lin Ziqi can enter the game, but what is important now is Bailu City. ”
"When Lin Ziqi returns to Qi, the eight rulings will also be sent, Shang Zejin wants to win Lin Ziqi's trust, and what he gives must be a true picture. But Bailu City is important, it is not only related to the overall situation of the world, but also related to the general trend of the plan, and it cannot be easily lost, do you have a countermeasure?" Chang Si sat on the ground and said lazily.
He seems to be lazy, but he actually speaks every word, and when discussing major matters with him, Chang Si always goes straight to the core.
Shang Zerui said lightly: "What I think, didn't you already target it?"
Chang Si struggled to get up from the ground, but Shang Zerui helped him by the side, and pulled a wheelchair from the side to place him.
After Chang Si's body deteriorated, he lost strength in his legs and feet, and he could only rely on a wheelchair to move.
After Shang Zerui helped him into a wheelchair, he held his push hand and said, "Take a break from state affairs, you and I have known each other for so many years, you have always pushed me to walk, and today I pushed you to walk." ”
Chang Si was calm and said: "I have known you for more than ten years, and these legs and lives have been given to you, so I won't lose if you push me." ”
There is a long aisle above the white tower, and Shang Zerui spoke while pushing Chang Si: "Who would have thought that the high-spirited prodigal son of Dengtu was beaten to the Golden Building with a broom at home, and now he will become the hidden appearance of the Shang Kingdom as the folk say, and his life is like a candle in the wind, and now he can't even retreat." ”
Chang Si gently rested his hand on his leg, flicked his index finger but was unconscious, he knew that these legs were completely crippled, and it was impossible to recover.
He doesn't regret paying so much for Shang Zerui, he died for his confidant, he had to meet a confidant, and he was so vigorous, compared to the prodigal son of Dengtu back then, he didn't feel sorry in this life.
Life has its length and its width, and it is not long in this life, but it is absolutely as wide as the sea.
Since the legs have been abolished, Chang Si is not a person who remembers the past, he said freely: "These legs, this life, can be exchanged for a hundred years in the Shang country, I think it is worth it." ”
"How about White Deer City, let him go?" Chang Si asked lightly.
In his eyes, there is no state affairs to take a break, he doesn't know when his life will end, a little time is extremely precious, and he feels that it is a waste to plan for Shang Zerui every day, every minute, and every second.
As for who the person Chang Si talked to Shang Zerui was, they didn't name it, but they knew it.
Shang Zejin paused, did not answer him immediately, but continued to push him forward, stopping at a corner, where the view was very good, and he could see half of the royal city.
Shang Zerui and Chang Si looked at this seemingly large but still walled royal city, and he suddenly said: "I am also a canary imprisoned in a cage, I thought I could let Zeyi be free, but I didn't think that I would personally cast a cage for him. ”
Chang Si was not restrained in front of Shang Zerui, and he would open his mouth when he thought of everything, so he continued: "His cage is only for a while, this is his life, if you are reluctant, it is not only him who will be harmed, but also thousands of businessmen." ”
Shang Zerui sighed melancholy, looking into the distance through the city wall, as if he wanted to break the cage of heaven and earth, and return Shang Zeyi to freedom.
Chang Si also watched with Shang Zerui, and the power of the injury showed its power in him, which is why he was a little impatient, hoping to set the overall situation of the Shang Kingdom before he died.
"If you continue to hesitate, you will be disappointed by everything that Shang Zejin didn't even want to do with his reputation and life, both of them are your siblings, and you should not favor one over the other. Chang Si said sincerely.
Shang Zerui touched his hair, there were already a few strands of white in the black, although he was only over thirty, he had already begun to resist the rules of time, and he couldn't help but grow old with time.
As a monarch, he is a member of the community, diligent and loves the people, he is now the king of a country, and he is no longer simply Shang Zeyi's royal brother.
Shang Zerui gradually came out of the abruptness of brotherhood, and said coldly: "I know!"
