Chapter 120, Brothers in the Cave

Yue's Great Tusi, the most mysterious person in the West Slope Mountain, is rarely seen in his true face. But he is a very wise man, and he uses his own means to control the hundreds and ten large and small villages in the Xixishan Mountain, and a dozen towns around the Xixishan Mountain. The people of these villages and towns together must be in the hundreds of thousands.

With such a large population in control, as well as the wealth of a country that rivals the rich, and a third of the medicinal herb market, this is not a force to be reckoned with in anyone's eyes.

The power of the Yue clan was all in the hands of the Great Tusi, and his orders were spread throughout the West through several elders under his command. Among these elders was his own brother, named Yue Kun, who was called the fifth uncle by the young master of the Yue clan.

Because they are brothers, Yue Kun has the trust of Da Tusi, and this trust sometimes even surpasses the trust in his son.

Da Tusi's whereabouts are uncertain, and if it weren't for his own willingness to show people, it would be difficult for everyone to find him.

But there are two exceptions, one is the next big toast he selected, the young master of the Yue clan. The other is his younger brother Yue Kun.

At this moment, Yue Kun saw Da Tusi in a cave and reported to him everything that happened during the day.

This cave is located on a peak in the northwest of Yue's cottage, and it is high and secretive. If the martial arts are not enough, it will not be possible at all.

There are hundreds of such caves in the western slope of the mountain.

There were only two brothers here, so they both took off the masked black robes that were unique to the Yue people.

The appearance of the two is indeed somewhat similar, but the big toast beard hair is gray, while Yue Kun has black beard and black hair.

Although Da Tusi has gray hair, he looks younger and more energetic than Yue Kun. If it weren't for the difference between the bearded hair, the big toast would be more like a younger brother.

The two brothers sat opposite each other around a stone table, and the big toast was making tea by himself, but he was using herbs instead of tea leaves.

"People have seen it. Da Tusi poured a cup of brewed medicinal tea and handed it to Yue Kun.

"Yes. Yue Kun took the teacup with both hands and said.

Da Tusi picked up his teacup and drank it all, then poured another cup, looked at Yue Kun and said, "What do you say?"

Yue Kun put down the teacup in his hand and said: "During the day, in the council hall, Yue Bai, this kid just talked nonsense, so that the envoy of King Cheng didn't tell the truth. ”

The big toast raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

Yue Kun smiled and said, "I don't know, but listening to what he means, it seems that he has some opinions about King Cheng." ”

Da Tusi was puzzled: "He hasn't seen King Cheng again, how can he have an opinion on King Cheng?"

Yue Kun explained: "Maybe I heard something. During the day, he went out of the stockade, as if he had done something with someone, and not only did he come back late, but his clothes were torn. ”

Da Tusi said lightly: "Oh, I'll go back and ask him." Have you seen the messenger of the king alone?"

Yue Kun said: "See." ”

Da Toast drank another cup of tea and asked, "What do you say?"

Yue Kun said: "King Cheng was originally a prince cultivated by the emperor, but now it seems that there are variables. The emperor recalled the Nine Emperor Princes who had studied art from the Wuxie Zi of Moxiao Mountain, and named the King of Qi and let him participate in the government affairs, as if to check and balance the king. ”

While pouring tea, Da Tusi said: "King Cheng is self-inflicted." ”

Yue Kun also picked up the tea in front of him and drank it, and then said with a smile: "What the eldest brother said is true." The emperor had two sons left, and the king of Qi left the temple to go to Moxiao Mountain, and the throne was said to be the king. The emperor was sick, and let King Cheng take care of the government, which was both helpless and cultivated, but King Cheng really regarded himself as the emperor, acting arbitrarily, forming a party for personal gain, and making a mess of the court of Great Wei, perhaps it was because of him that the emperor recalled King Qi. ”

Da Tusi picked up the teapot and poured tea for Yue Kun, and said: "We don't care what happens to the Great Wei Dynasty, and we don't care who is the emperor. Tell me what it means for King Cheng to send people here. ”

Yue Kun said with a smile: "Look at me, I have gone wrong while talking." The throne that became the king was threatened, and he was naturally unwilling. He had failed to attack the Qi King several times before. I heard that he used the power of the Tianyi Sect. ”

Da Tusi had already picked up the teacup, and when he heard Yue Kun's words, his hand and teacup stopped in the air, as if he was thinking. After a pause, he drank the tea in one gulp, and then asked as he put the teacup down, "Tianyi Sect, is it the Tianyi Sect that came to us for cooperation eighteen years ago?"

Yue Kun said: "Exactly. Back then, they asked us to cooperate, but the eldest brother didn't agree when he saw that they couldn't make a big deal. Later, it turned out that the eldest brother's decision at that time was correct. On this day, the Yijiao suffered heavy losses when they besieged the Shen Mansion in Liyang, and since then there has been no trace, but they did not expect that they would have been dormant for eighteen years. This time, as soon as they came out, they went to destroy the Shen Mansion first. ”

Da Tusi said: "After hibernation for eighteen years, with such perseverance, there is still some potential to become a big thing." But I don't know what their relationship is with Cheng Wang. ”

Yue Kun said: "I don't know this yet. On this day, after the Yijiao destroyed the Shen Mansion, it destroyed several gangs one after another. However, a few days ago, when they besieged Xixia Temple, they suffered a lot of losses. ”

Da Tusi said: "Xixia Temple, that is not a place that can be destroyed casually. ”

Yue Kun said: "Who said it wasn't." Perhaps they were carried away by the previous victories. ”

The big toast picked up a small stick, picked the wick, and said, "Say that you are the king." ”

Yue Kun smiled again: "Yes, yes, you see that I am talking and saying that I have gone wrong." King Cheng failed to kill King Qi with the help of the power of the Tianyi Sect, so he came up with another plan. ”

Da Tusi said: "What plan?"

Yue Kun said: "He plans to raise troops in the capital, kill the emperor and the king of Qi in one fell swoop, and then ascend to the throne." ”

Da Tusi frowned: "Killing his father and killing his brother, this son is really ruthless." What does he want us to do?"

Yue Kun said: "He wants to use the Western Zhou to contain the forces of the western defense line of the Great Wei, let us not interfere." ”

The big toast said, "What's in it for us?"

Yue Kun said a little proudly: "He promised to make the eldest brother the king after the matter is completed." ”

Da Tusi said lightly: "Just a prince, will you see it in your eyes?"

Yue Kun's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Of course one prince is not enough, I have already told Ji Min and asked him to go back and tell King Cheng that the conditions he offered are too small, and we must be independent kings." ”

Big Toast took the teacup and drank it again, then put it down and asked, "What did he say?"

Yue Kun said: "Naturally, he can't be the master, so he has to go back and tell him to become the king, and then reply to us." ”

Da Tusi said: "The trouble of going back and forth, you and Yue Bai will go to the capital to talk to him directly." ”

Yue Kun said with some worry: "Yue Bai has an opinion about him, will he talk to him?"

Da Tusi said: "Bringing Yue Bai is just a pretense to show the Great Wei court." The one who really went to talk to him was you. Yue Bai wanted to go to the Central Plains to have a look, and he just took this opportunity to let him go out for a walk and see the outside world. ”

Yue Kun said: "Little brother understands. The eldest brother is really good to Yue Bai, this child. ”

Da Tusi said: "But the real purpose is to hide from Yuebai, and now is not the time for him to know." I'll talk to him when it's settled. ”

Yue Kun said: "Yes." ”

Da Tusi said: "Remember, we don't just want Xilan, but also the two neighboring states. ”

Yue Kun said: "Understood. ”

Da Tusi said: "I also want to explain to him that if you dare to play tricks, we have a way." You can give him a little deterrent when appropriate. ”

Yue Kun said: "He has the Tianyi Sect behind him, is it appropriate to do this?"

Da Tusi said: "Can a mere Tianyi Sect help us?"

Yue Kun said: "Little brother knows. ”
