Chapter 420: Zhang Wuji's layout
Zhou Zhiruo was obviously a little surprised, and subconsciously shook her head: "No." ”
Seeing the surprised eyes of the two women, Zhang Wuji stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly: "People can change." ”
"People do change. Zhao Min snorted, obviously not in the mood to entangle this issue with him like Zhou Zhiruo, his expression was solemn, and his voice was cold, "The first question!"
Zhang Wuji nodded and motioned for her to continue.
"You promised me at the beginning, I won't be my Mongolian county lord, and you won't be your Ming sect leader, we will live in seclusion together......" Zhao Min showed a gentle smile on his face, and then his face sank like water, "Why do you want to regret it?"
Zhang Wuji sighed, his face full of helplessness: "You also know that after the disappearance of Yang Dingtian, the former sect leader of the Ming Sect, the Ming Sect was torn apart and was almost wiped out by the six major factions. If I leave it alone like this, won't the newly unified Mingjiao be scattered again? Unlike in the past, the Western Regions are now full of great powers, and as long as the Mingjiao shows the slightest sign of weakness, it will be swallowed up by the surrounding forces. How can I, for my own selfish gain, put many good brothers in danger?"
Song Qingshu in the shade of the tree couldn't help but be stunned, it seems that Zhang Wuji is still a hero who stands up to the sky? He has encountered his despicable side several times, is it just like he did to Wei Xiaobao, Zhilan is in charge, and has to be removed?
"Selfish interests?" Zhao Min smiled bitterly, "I betrayed the Immortal Heaven for you, betrayed the bloodline of the blue wolf and the white deer, betrayed Mongolia, and betrayed my father and brother...... In the end, you can't just say that you can't do it for your own selfish interests?"
"Minmin, I know you've sacrificed too much for me," Zhang Wuji stopped talking, "So in this life, I will never hurt the people in the Ruyang Palace......"
Zhao Min directly interrupted: "Hmph, there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under the command of the Ruyang Palace, why do my father and my brother need you to let it go? But you have fallen into the hands of the Ruyang Palace, if it weren't for my disregard for my reputation, lying that I was pregnant with your flesh and blood, and forcing my father to die, would you still be able to stand here and say these big words in a dignified manner?"
Zhang Wuji was silent for a long time: "Minmin, I always remember your efforts...... If I can dominate the world one day, the queen's position will be yours. ”
Zhou Zhiruo's face on the side changed slightly, although her expression was not obvious, but she was still caught by Zhao Min, Zhao Min looked meaningfully in the direction of Song Qingshu, and sneered: "What about your sister Zhiruo?"
Zhang Wuji hurriedly replied: "When I was discouraged by the cold and poisonous in my childhood, fortunately I was persuaded by my sister Zhiruo, and I rekindled the fighting spirit to survive. ”
Hearing Zhang Wuji mention the situation of the young Han Shui and the fact that he removed the fish bones for him to eat, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly looked a little stunned, but when she heard the words of the second palace in the east and west, she couldn't help frowning and said: "Although I don't know what happened between you, but if you quarrel with each other, don't get it to me." I am now a wife, and I ask Sect Master Zhang to respect himself. ”
"Miss Zhou, you will be glad that you have expressed your position so clearly tonight. Zhao Min was full of emotion, and he didn't know if what Zhou Zhiruo said was sincere or pretending to be cold. However, Song Qingshu listened to all her words today, and I am afraid that the relationship between the two will go further after tonight.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Zhiruo has always disliked Zhao Min, especially her pretentious and smug appearance.
"It's nothing," Zhao Min smiled faintly, "Actually, no matter what you think in your heart, I still have to advise you, just listen to Zhang Wuji's words, if you are serious, you are stupid." ”
Seeing that her rival for many years was deflated, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but joke: "The county lord's mother abandoned a qiē with others, and was abandoned by others, so naturally she won't have any good opinion of him." ”
"Who said he abandoned me? Obviously, I left on my own initiative!" Zhao Min said angrily, "Do you really think that his promise to you is because he remembers the grace of Hanshui in the past?"
Zhou Zhiruo was stunned, speechless for a long time, and Zhang Wuji's face on the side sank: "Minmin, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"What nonsense?" Zhao Min smiled sadly, "Sometimes I really hate why I am so smart, otherwise I can be kept in the dark for the rest of my life, and live happily with you......"
The abnormality of the two made Zhou Zhiruo suspicious and reborn, and she wanted to leave a long time ago, but there was a voice in her head that asked her to stay and see what happened.
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo looking at him suspiciously, Zhang Wuji pretended to be calm and said to Zhao Min: "I know you have always been smart, but it's better not to chase after the wind and shadows in many things." ”
Zhao Min smiled proudly: "I, Min Min Temur, have always had no last resort, if I didn't really find the evidence, how could I wronged you because of some unwarranted things?"
Seeing Zhang Wuji's face change slightly, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart anymore and asked, "What is the matter?"
Zhao Min watched Zhang Wuji's expression change, and a cruel smile flashed at the corner of his mouth: "I have to ask yourself first, is the father of Master Zhou really an ordinary fisherman by the Han River?"
Zhou Zhiruo's face turned pale, only a few people knew her life experience, she still remembered Zhang Sanfeng's warning at the beginning, and nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"
"How can an ordinary fisherman's daughter have such a fresh and refined name as Zhiruo? The word Zhiruo is seen in "Liezi", in Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu", how can an ordinary fisherman have this kind of insight?" Zhao Min smiled, "Master Zhou, Ling Zun is probably the former White Lotus Sect Leader Zhou Ziwang." ”
Zhou Zhiruo's eyes narrowed, and a murderous aura quietly swept by.
Zhao Min smiled indifferently: "Because of the Southern Song Dynasty court, the White Lotus Sect has now become a taboo. However, Master Zhou can rest assured, people are afraid of the Southern Song Dynasty, but I, Zhao Min, am not afraid. ”
The father of the White Lotus Sect Zhiruo was Zhou Ziwang, the king of Zhou who swept most of the Southern Song Dynasty in that year, and Song Qingshu was shocked, although he was Zhou Zhiruo's husband, he did not know this secret.
No wonder Zhou Zhiruo is secretive about her life experience, the Southern Song Dynasty court has been tracking down the remnants of Bailian all these years, if Zhou Zhiruo's identity is exposed, her position as the head of Emei may not be guaranteed.
"What do you want?" Zhou Zhiruo's voice was cold, and she looked at Zhao Min quietly.
"I don't want to do anything," Zhao Min smiled slightly, "I just want to tell you that Zhang Wuji is close to you more because you are the daughter of Zhou Ziwang, rather than the grace of Hanshui in the past." ”
"After more than ten years of suppression, the White Lotus Sect has ostensibly disappeared," Zhao Min continued, "However, according to the information of the Ruyang Palace, in recent years, the White Lotus Sect has gradually regained its strength under the leadership of the previous sect leader Zhou Ziwang's master, Monk Peng, and the Holy Maiden Tang Sai'er. They have learned the lesson of the last defeat, so they have been holding their troops and waiting for the world to rise again when the world is in turmoil. ”
"Our Sect Leader Zhang must have taken a fancy to the power of the White Lotus Sect, so he came to approach Master Zhou. ”
Zhao Min's voice was originally extremely crisp, and he spoke unhurriedly, but for some reason, the rest of the people in the audience sounded a little cold.
"Sect Leader Zhang, as the head of the Ming Sect, the largest sect in the West, took the Sun Moon Divine Sect, the largest sect in the East, as a vassal a few months ago, and now as long as he can get the head of Zhou, he can not only control the Emei sect in the southwest, but also take the opportunity to control the White Lotus Sect in the southeast, the southeast, the northwest, and all of them are under the control of Your Excellency. ”
Hearing Zhao Min's explanation, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but glance at Zhang Wuji in horror, and subconsciously took a step back, is this still the indecisive Zhang Wuji she is familiar with?
Song Qingshu on the tree also smacked his tongue, thinking that he had secretly controlled the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was already a big deal, but Zhang Wuji had unknowingly taken the world into his pocket.
"Is it me who is hanging, or is he hanging?" Song Qingshu lamented.
Seeing that Zhao Min said that he broke a qiē, Zhang Wuji did not quibble, but smiled: "Minmin, you really saw through it." Yes, it is true that it is as you say, but what is the use of a few means in order to dominate the world? Isn't the great Genghis Khan, whom you Mongols have in their hearts, still scheming? ”
"But what I like is not the eloquent Genghis Khan, but the indecisive, but kind and loyal Zhang Wuji. Zhao Min's lips were about to bite and bleed.
Zhang Wuji's face finally sank slowly: "You don't have to speak of yourself so noblely, do you think I really don't know your Mongolian schemes." ”
"What kind of scheme?" Zhao Min was stunned, this time it was her turn to be confused.
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Wuji's familiar face, but she couldn't suppress a sense of strangeness, and stood there quietly, obviously very interested in Zhang Wuji's words.
Zhang Wuji said expressionlessly: "You keep saying that you have abandoned Mongolia, Ruyang Palace, and your people for the sake of me...... But what do you want, that I abandon the Ming Religion and the war with your Mongols? ”
"Without my leadership, the Mingjiao will eventually return to its previous state of scattered sand, and who is still your Mongolian opponent? Wouldn't it be swallowed up by the Mongol iron cavalry in a short time?"
"You abandoned Qiē and followed me, seemingly for love, but unfortunately in my opinion, it is just a beautiful ploy used by your Mongolians. Mongolia has one less Shaomin county lord, which has no impact on their strength, but the Ming Sect has lost Zhang Wuji, and it immediately changed from a big trouble in Mongolia to nothing to worry about...... Looking at Mongolia, who else but you can come up with such a sweet and heart-wrenching trap?"
Zhao Min's face turned pale, and he subconsciously shook his head and muttered, "I really didn't think about these ......"
"Really?" Zhang Wuji snorted coldly, "Since you are willing to abandon Yiqiē for the sake of love, then why do you know that after I continue to fight against Mongolia, you will not continue to stay by my side, but run back to Mongolia without hesitation, and immediately command the Ruyang Palace?"
