"Actually...... I didn't know that the winner was Jeruzhen. Zong Xin said: "Many things are not under my control, in fact, what I do is just to provide them with a chance to duel, and in the end, no matter who wins, the credit is mine." Because each of them fooled them into thinking they were helping him, and at the same time told everyone that they had sent spies on that side. As long as I do this, it doesn't matter who the winner is, the winner will definitely think that I helped him win and express his gratitude. ”

"Don't look at me as your own apprentice, even I think it's shameless for you to do this. ”

"Hmph~ What do you mean to be quite shameless? It should be very shameless. Zong Xin said: "You kid still has a lot to learn, just watch it honestly." Then there is nothing to do, we go back to Chang'an to have a good rest for a while, although it is also a pleasure to travel around, but occasionally we should go home to live a stable life. Anyway, now that the world has been decided, nothing will happen for the time being. ”

Tianya sighed and said, "Master, can I ask you one more question? Why did you give all the Qilin blood to Yeluzhen? That is something that you got with great difficulty, and even if you regret it in the future, you will not be able to find a second copy." ”

"Who said that I gave all the Qilin blood to Yeluzhen?" Zong Xin took out a small bottle from his arms and smiled smugly at everyone: " If you don't give him the Qilin blood, Yeluzhen and I will not finish, because his beloved is already old, and he must take my Qilin blood to restore part of the youth of the Empress Dowager Xiao, so when I left the Fire God Temple to distribute the excess Qilin blood to Youyun Eighteen Riders, I had already made a plan, first left a part, and then deliberately let him see in front of Yelu Jing that he put all the Qilin blood into that bottle, there should be three drops of Qilin blood in that bottle, and I have left two drops in advance, so I don't lose. ”

Such a despicable monk, he has already calculated everything so accurately, no wonder he has not suffered much since Zong Xin's debut, except for Wu Yan Hongyu's time, there is really no one who can make Zong Xin suffer.

"This ...... Is this for my father?" Tianya said excitedly: "Master, you are really good, you know that my father is not in good health, so you deliberately left a little for my father, right?" ”

"There is only unicorn blood for one person to drink, and your father's destiny is only three years old, he has been mentally prepared for this, and it is a waste of unicorn blood to give him. Zong Xin sighed: "Alas, there is really no way, good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years, so everyone remember, don't be a good person, try to be a bad person." ”

Every time they heard that Guo Wei could only live for three years, Tianya and Ning An felt a chill in their hearts, and these words came out of Zong Xin's mouth more than once, although no one believed it, no one doubted it. After all, Guo Wei is still young, and judging from his body, there is no problem in living for another few decades. However, since Zong Xin dared to say this, naturally no one dared to doubt its authenticity, and Zong Xin said that no one harmed Guo Wei, he died of natural causes.

As a martial arts master, Guo Wei's body is so good...... But Guo Wei himself nodded at this matter, he really wanted to know what was going on, but he didn't want to ask more, and he was unwilling to accept this fact.

Tianya and An Ning both hope that Zong Xin will be wrong once, even if it is only wrong this time, and hope that his father can live a long life and live a few more days.

Zong Xin clasped his hands together and said: "Don't be sad, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky." Everyone comes into the world to have his own things to do, and when things are done, they can be regarded as a happy ending. The three years of the Son of Heaven of my father's old man are too important to the Central Plains, because the three years of the Father's Son of Heaven have laid the foundation for the unification of the Central Plains, and thousands of people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. ”

"Master, what you said is very good, but it is useless. Tianya said depressedly: "Although it's a pity, but after a while, let me go back to the palace to accompany my father." ”

"Okay...... But I have one condition, I have to stay with you all the time. Zong Xin said: "Your eldest brother Chai Rong's illness will only get worse and worse, and in the future, he will have murderous thoughts when he sees his bald head, and he can't control it himself, so I must ensure your safety, no matter where you go, you are not allowed to move alone, and even sleep and go to the toilet with me." ”

"Oh~" Tianya has no intention of refuting this matter, because of the strange illness of the eldest brother Chai Rong, he can't see the bald head. The reasons are heartbreaking for everyone, but they must be remembered constantly......

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Zongxin, there is one more thing I don't understand, and I don't understand it very much, I hope you can answer it for me." ”

"Speak. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Although you keep saying that you fool everyone, you are right for anyone to win." But in fact, you can control the victory or defeat of these people, but you are deliberately biased in favor of Jeruzhen, right? At that time, if you really had the intention to kill Jerugen, he would definitely die, which is why Jeruzhen was so polite to you, and you helped him when you had the perfect opportunity to kill him, which makes me very incomprehensible. In fact, the conditions of Yelu Anduan and Yelu Cha are very good, they will never attack the Central Plains in your lifetime, why do you want to send Yelu Jing to the Khitan throne? And let Yelu Zhen be assisted by a monster who has regained his youth, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself? Although you are not involved in the government, the Great Zhou Emperor Guo Wei is your father-in-law, and his son is your apprentice, so you have a share in the country. ”

Zong Xin nodded and said, "Tianya, you can explain this problem." ”

Tianya said confidently: "Master, if I can explain this problem, I am estimated to have already graduated from the teacher." I'm also weird, I just didn't bother to ask. ”

"Stupid~ How did we discuss it when we first came? To let Cangzhou recover the pressure, as the saying goes, born in sorrow, died in peace, you can't let Da Zhou stay happy, just like Li Tang and Meng Shu, they have been happy for a long time, but they are afraid that they will forget about the war in the future. So it is not that if the conditions given are good, there will be a good result, Yeluzhen did not give any conditions, I just hope that he will continue to organize the army to suppress Cangzhou, so that Cangzhou's position can become important again, which was discussed before this. ”

"That's not right......" Zhao Kuangyin said: "There is something wrong with what you said, you can let Yelu Anduan send troops to Cangzhou, but only allow him to attack, but not forcefully attack, Yelu Anduan will definitely agree, can this effect be achieved?"

"That's right...... Why didn't I think of it?" Zong Xin suddenly realized, he couldn't think of such a way.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Don't pretend, tell the truth." ”

"To be honest, I didn't think of this method, by the way, if Yelu Cha is made the emperor, the end of the Central Plains will be very miserable, but if Yelu Jing is made the emperor, the end of the Khitan will be very miserable. Because Yelu Jing will be a tyrant, Yelu Ruan and I are constantly reminding Yelu Zhen that the path he chooses will be completed even if he is on his knees. Zong Xin said excitedly: "Your Majesty the Khitan, are you right?"

Yelu Ruan didn't say a word next to him, he followed Zong Xin, so it was safer. After all, he couldn't go back to Khitan again, and he felt a little sad, but he was also very happy to hear Zong Xin say this.

Yelu Ruan nodded and said, "That's right, if Yelu Jing becomes the emperor, he must be a tyrant." Originally, I thought that I was the only one who knew about this, and Master Zongxin was worthy of being a high-ranking monk, how did you see it?"

"The poor monk can pinch and calculate, what about you?"

"I'm ......," Yelu Ruan said, "I saw it when he was a child, I was his cousin after all, and I watched him grow up." Yelu Jing deliberately pretended to be loyal and honest in front of Yelu Zhen, and he could say anything bad in front of me, when he was young, he regarded me as a brother, so he didn't hide much from me. Before, Yelujing didn't know that Yeluzhen was his biological father, but now that he knew the secret, he knew that Yeluzhen would never kill him, so he would do nothing. I know that if he gains power and has real power, it will definitely be the biggest scourge of the Khitan. But I can't help it, Yeluzhen's martial arts are too high, and he wants his son to be the emperor, and everyone who is a father in the world thinks that his son is the best, even if Yeluzhen is invincible in the world, he is just a mortal. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "I see...... In this case, Zongxin, this is what you planned from the beginning. Yelu Jing is a faint monarch, so you have long planned to support him to ascend the throne and become emperor, so that there will be chaos in the Khitan territory, and it also gives Guo Wei a chance to take advantage of?"

"No, you're only half right. Zong Xin said: "I did plan to let Yelu Jing ascend the throne as emperor from the beginning, but as for the reason...... Half of it is because he is a dumb king, a tyrant, and the other side is because of Yeluzhen, who is too persistent in this idea, and I dare not disobey it. So he admonished him many times, hoping that Yeluzhen could turn back, but unfortunately Yeluzhen couldn't listen, and he had to let his incompetent son be the emperor. In fact, this will not give Guo Wei much chance, Yelujing will know after returning to the Khitan that the person who holds the power now is not Yelujing, but the Empress Dowager Xiao. ”

"Empress Dowager Xiao?" many people shouted in surprise, how could it be her?

Zong Xin immediately said all his complete plan, and after he finished speaking, everyone understood, no wonder Zong Xin wanted to arrange it like this, this monk thought of things far more than ordinary people, and he had already calculated what would happen after leaving the Fire God Temple. According to Zongxin's plan, the most powerful person in the Khitan is no longer the emperor, but the emperor's own mother, Empress Dowager Xiao.

Yelu Jing is afraid that he will be happy in vain, even if he gets the throne, he can't do whatever he wants, most of the Khitan forces are captured in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiao, if it is replaced by someone else, Yelu Jing will dare to force it, but the Empress Dowager Xiao is his own mother, he can't force the Empress Dowager Xiao to give up the power he has now, not to mention that Yelu Zhen loves the Empress Dowager Xiao wholeheartedly, and Yelu Jing is only dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say anything about his suffering.
