Chapter 2 Listen to the Tide of Arguments
Luo Chengyu stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, his eyes stared at the begonia tree in the courtyard, although the danger of Fang Cai had become a thing of the past, but he couldn't calm down in his heart, and he couldn't erase Zijing's pale face in front of him, at this time, Mo Qingyun hurriedly walked into the study with a stack of files, and saw Luo Chengyu's heavy back, and felt uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but stop.
Hearing the clear and slightly heavy footsteps in his ears, Luo Chengyu knew that it must be Mo Qingyun, in addition to Mo Qingyun, although Meng Yun and Lian Wuxian among the guards could enter without telling them, but these two people were strong in martial arts, and their steps would definitely not be so heavy, so he didn't look back, and said lightly: "Fan Yang has news coming?"
Mo Qingyun saw that Luo Chengyu was still concerned about Fan Yang's situation, his heart was relieved, and he said with relief: "Your Royal Highness, as you expected, Mr. Wu sent a letter to report that the king had secretly met with the generals in the army several times, and even summoned the right general Duan Zhicheng several times, and the words even hinted that there was a intention to depose the prince, but although the right general was also dissatisfied with the prince's excessive trust in General Zuo and the generals over the years, he still advised the king not to act impulsively. However, the king's intention seems to be very resolute, and it is faintly revealed that there is already an heir who can replace His Royal Highness, General Duan bitterly advised the king, saying that His Royal Highness the prince is outstanding, and the hearts of the people are attached, if it is easily deposed, I am afraid that the emperor will be troubled from now on, so the king temporarily gave up this idea. Your Royal Highness, the king's mind has been clear, for His Royal Highness's plan, he should strike first, imprison the king, and officially inherit the throne of King Yan, so that he can work together and fight for the world. ”
Luo Chengyu sighed lightly and said: "The king has always been dissatisfied with Chengyu, the estrangement between Fan Yang and Xindu is already something that everyone in Youji knows, Qingyun can remember that two years ago, when his mother died in Luoyang, the king had this intention, if it weren't for the disappearance of His Royal Highness Yang Ning and the support of Uncle Fang and the generals, I am afraid that Chengyu would already be homeless." ”
Mo Qingyun's eyes flashed with remembrance, and he said: " The minister remembers, when the minister was framed by people, on death row, His Royal Highness's situation at that time was overwhelming, and the danger was unspeakable, the enemy, Yu Wei, was the general of Zhiwu, won the trust of the king, and was the second person among the five generals, if His Royal Highness offended him, I was afraid that the situation was more critical, that is, Mr. Wu also advised His Royal Highness to temporarily forbear, not to delay the big thing for such an unrelated person as me, but His Royal Highness tried his best to override the public opinion, for Qingyun Zhaoxue was wronged, and even dismissed General Zhiwu and punished him。 ”
Luo Chengyu shook his head and said: "Qingyun was framed and imprisoned, which is not only a personal vendetta in the general's communiqué, but also caused by the lack of thoughtfulness of Youji's law, Chengyu is the son of Youji, so he can't see such a situation happen, how can he kill innocents in vain because the situation is inappropriate, but the situation is indeed critical that day, his mother died suddenly, and the Youji people will be sad and resentful, and they are panicked and ownerless, if the king really expels Chengyu with an iron heart, then there is a chance that the goal can be achieved." Fortunately, Uncle Fang did his best to protect him, and the hundred officials of Youji had no knowledge of His Royal Highness the Nine, and the king was also heartbroken because of his mother's suffering, although he had the intention of angering Chengyu, but he did not have a good impression of His Royal Highness the Nine, so he did not make a painful decision, so Chengyu had the opportunity to gather power in Xindu and set up the palace of Fan Yangyan.
Despite this, I have never resented the king, Chengyu was an orphan whose parents died, if it were not for my mother to adopt me under my knees, earnestly taught, Chengyu how can he have today's status achievements, you should also know the past, the father failed the county lord affectionately, the county lord did not blame, but the military order to give marriage, to fulfill my parents' marriage, I have heard Aunt Xiu said, my mother in my birth after the mian sickbed, if there is no mother repeatedly gave expensive medicine, and ask a famous doctor to adjust the treatment, the mother is only afraid that it will not be able to delay those times, and the mother loves Chengyu as her own, but also for Chengyu to give up the opportunity to dominate the world, more than ten years, more than 200 handwritten generals to teach the study of strategy, and painstakingly cultivated strength for Chengyu, so that I have to take power, such kindness, even biological parents may not be able to do this, how can not let Chengyu be grateful.
Things have changed over time, and now the power of Youji is in my hands, even if the king intends to depose Chengyu, he is also powerless, I have received my mother's deep favor, and I have no way to repay it, if I turn against the king, wouldn't it be to repay virtue with resentment, so Qingyun can no longer mention any preemptive strike, this move is absolutely not feasible. ”
When Mo Qingyun heard this, although he was moved in his heart, he was only loyal to Luo Chengyu, and he had no loyalty to King Yan or even the Lord of Huofeng, so he euphemistically admonished: "Your Highness is grateful for the kindness of the county lord, and he is so tolerant of the king's step-by-step progress, which is really magnificent, and the ministers admire." It's just that now that the county lord has passed away, His Royal Highness has lost such a backing, and he can't help but be weak in Youji, although King Yan has long been hollowed out by the county lord, and now he is even more powerful, controlled by His Royal Highness, but after all, he is the upright master of Youji, if His Highness has any accidents, all the generals who want to come to Youji will turn to talk about King Yan. This time, His Royal Highness went south, except for General Zuo and Mr. Wu, only King Yan knew, the assassin attacked, if he succeeded, he was afraid that the king would get the greatest benefit, it was the king who was afraid that the assassin had nothing to do with him, if His Royal Highness was still so forbearing, I was afraid that one day he would be taken by the king, even if His Royal Highness did not think about the safety of his life, he also had to think of the county lord's expectations, since His Royal Highness was determined to be in the world, he could not be merciful, and asked His Highness to consider it carefully. ”
Luo Chengyu shook his head and said: "Qingyun's intentions, I already know everything, but the use of the plan is not avoidable, only know its benefits, do not avoid its harm, although the power in the king's hands is mostly lost, but after all, he is the lord of Youji, the generals in the army, thirty percent are the generals selected by his mother in the past, fifty percent are rookies over the years, but there are still two percent of the king's former generals, that is, new generals, and how many can not have relatives with these old generals, I have my own sense of proportion in the king's affairs, Qingyun does not need to say it anymore." ”
Mo Qingyun saw that Luo Chengyu's face was firm, so he had to sigh secretly, shook his head slightly, his eyes flashed, and said: "Since Your Highness has already made a decision, the minister does not dare to object, and since Mr. Wu has no such intention, presumably the situation is still under control, but the minister still has advice, His Royal Highness should not visit the assassin today, if it were not for the mercy of Prince Zijing's subordinates, His Highness's life would not be guaranteed, and the minister also asked His Highness not to risk himself in the future." While talking, Mo Qingyun secretly paid attention to Luo Chengyu's expression, he was the most confused person in today's affairs, whether it was Zijing's sudden madness after learning Luo Chengyu's identity, or Luo Chengyu's inexplicable words at the end, it was difficult for him to understand, but it was obviously an extremely secret thing, Mo Qingyun was not sure that Luo Chengyu would be honest, after all, he had only followed Luo Chengyu for two years, although he had to be reused, but after all, the time was too short, and Luo Chengyu might not be willing to tell him about some things. And he even found that Luo Chengyu seemed to have an indescribable affection for the assassin, when he said the word "assassin", although Luo Chengyu's expression remained unchanged, but the phoenix's eyes had already revealed an uncertain color, Mo Qingyun had to change his mouth and use the honorific title, and Luo Chengyu's eyebrows stretched. But in Mo Qingyun's opinion, even if Luo Chengyu and Zi Jing hit it off at first sight, they shouldn't value an extremely hostile outsider so much, coupled with some scenes that he had heard and witnessed, Mo Qingyun judged that the young man and Youji must have some kind of inseparable relationship, otherwise even Meng Yun would not have hinted that the guards were vague about the soldiers sent by the King of Dian to support, and refused to reveal Zi Jing's true face.
Luo Chengyu's heart was like turning over the river and the sea, as long as he thought of Zijing, he felt that his heart was unbearable, and it took a long time to calm down, seeing the essence and cold light in Mo Qingyun's eyes, he realized that this was his henchman who wanted to know the secret in his heart, but he didn't mean to be angry, Luo Chengyu said gloomily: "Qingyun doesn't need to be so careful, if you don't know about this, you can't help but miss everything when you are my counselor, and I won't hide it from you, Meng Lao and I both suspect that Zijing is the biological son of his mother, Yang Ning, His Royal Highness the Nine." ”
Mo Qingyun's body was shocked, and an incredible look appeared on his face, and he said after a long time: "How can Your Highness think like this, what credentials does Elder Meng have?"
Luo Chengyu turned around and sat down behind the bookcase, motioned for Mo Qingyun to sit down on the chair of the next Grand Master, picked up the teacup, took a sip of lukewarm tea, and said, "Qingyun knows the names of the four great masters?"
Although Mo Qingyun is a scribe, but in today's world, advocating martial arts and light literature, all forces are widely recruited masters and celebrities, that is, lieutenant generals and colonels, if there is no outstanding martial arts, most of them will be difficult to get ahead, so Mo Qingyun also knows these rumors well, so he said like a few treasures: " The first of the four great masters is the Rong national teacher He Lou Qi who retreats in the Great Xianbei Mountain, He Lou Qi is a Rong noble, he has traveled to the Central Plains when he was a teenager, turned to the world, did not meet the enemy, and then met the sword king Yang Yuan challenge, He Lou Qi defeated Yang Yuan, he was also injured and retreated, on the way back to the northern Xinjiang, the road met the Cuihu suzerain, because He Louqi's injury was not healed, so the Cuihu suzerain and the incense and martial arts, the two sides were equally divided, and the Rong people attacked Shuofang County, He Louqi personally led the crowd to attack the city, and the sword king Yang Yuan fought for the second time, although Yang Yuan still lost a move, but He Louqi was almost besieged and killed at the head of the city, frustrated and retreated, and since then he has been in the mountains for a long time, in addition to training disciples, it is rare to make a move.
The second person is the Cuihu Sect Master, although Youji has a deep grudge against the Yue Sect Master, but if it comes to martial arts, she can be said to be the first person in the Central Plains, although some people have said that Yang Yuan, the king of Yi who was defeated by He Louqi twice, may have surpassed the Cuihu Sect Master, because only King Yi has such a rare experience in the world, and the master level master who is especially above himself in martial arts fought twice, both were defeated and did not die, not to mention the battle of Dingxiang, King Yi was only one line worse than He Louqi, it can be seen that the entry is extremely fast, after the two defeats, he is concentrating on seclusion, and now if he fights again, I am afraid that He Louqi will not be able to defeat him, but because he has a record of two defeats, after all, he is still listed as the third person of the four great masters。
As for the fourth person, who is not famous, called Emperor Yin, almost no one in the world today has seen him, but this person has fought with the other three grandmasters, and it is said that none of them have won or lost, because it is difficult to guess the depth of his martial arts, so this person is listed as the last of the four great grandmasters. ”
Luo Chengyu smiled slightly and said, " Qingyun knew that the Yanshan guard was created by his mother, the heaven and the earth were yellow, the universe was desolate, in addition to guarding the safety of the Yanwang Mansion, there was also a martial arts hall, teaching the lieutenant general of the army, training secret spy scouts, this sincerity is the foundation of Youji, these more than ten years, Youji can produce talents, countless rookie generals have emerged, and the martial arts hall accounts for most of the credit, so the person in charge of the Yanshan guard must be both civil and military, both moral and moral integrity and loyal characters, today's Yanshan guard commander Ximen Rin is such a person, do you know how he belongs to my Youji?”
Mo Qingyun said cautiously: "There is a difference in authority, and the minister does not know about the protection of Yanshan, but I have heard that the commander of the West Gate was personally appointed by the county lord back then, and no one knows the origin, only that his martial arts are unfathomable, and there is only a line of difference between him and the level of the grandmaster. ”
Luo Chengyu said: "Commander Ximen is indeed a rare master in the world, but he has a fellow brother, and his martial arts are really unfathomable, and that person is the Hidden Emperor who is the last of the four great grandmasters." ”
Mo Qingyun couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this: "Is Emperor Yin actually inclined to seclusion, why has the minister never seen this emperor in Yanshan?"
Luo Chengyu sighed: "Emperor Yin is his mother's best friend, when the Rong people Kou Yanmen, Ma Yi, mother led the army to meet the enemy, He Lou Qi mixed in the Rong soldiers, raided his mother, if it wasn't for the Yin Emperor to come to find He Lou Qi's skills, in a thought, he rescued his mother and father, I am afraid that there is no existence in this world. After that meeting, Emperor Yin and his mother hit it off at first sight, and recommended the leader of Ximen to his mother, but after his mother married into the royal family, Youji never saw the trace of Emperor Yin again, and then after my righteous brother was born, the commander of Ximen once hinted to me that Emperor Yin had accepted His Royal Highness Nine as a disciple. In the fifth year of Yonghe, his mother was robbed by fire, and everyone in Youji was suspicious, and the masters around his mother were like clouds, and there was even a hidden emperor to protect him, not to mention that Yang Yan did not have a grandmaster-level master to help, it was Yang Yuan, The Cuihu Sect Master personally took action, and he may not be able to leave the Hidden Emperor, even if his mother was robbed, the Hidden Emperor should also send back the news, and the letter from Luoyang said that the mother's bones were gone, and the whereabouts of the righteous brother were unknown, but because the Hidden Emperor was missing, everyone in Youji had doubts in their hearts, and they didn't want to believe that their mother was dead. ”
Mo Qingyun was dizzy when he heard it, this matter is the highest secret of Youji, not to mention him, even many important ministers under the command of King Yan, and most of them don't know the relationship between Emperor Yin and Youji, let alone Mo Qingyun, who has just arrived. He pondered for a long time in his heart, and said: "Emperor Yin accepted His Royal Highness Nine as apprentices, famous teachers and high apprentices, presumably His Royal Highness Nine must be strong in martial arts, Meng Lao and Ximen Commander intersect with each other, could it be that you can see the number of martial arts of Prince Zijing?"
Luo Chengyu smiled bitterly: "The martial arts of the Hidden Emperor are said to be ever-changing, even the commanders of the West Gate can't know all of them, but their light skills are extremely powerful, and there is a body method called 'a thousand miles and a line', which is a peerless magic skill beyond the scope of light skills, even if the skill is not deep, it can also be swept over a distance of at least fifty zhang in an instant, except for Cuihu' Outside of Ling Bo Du Xu, there is no other light skill that can be compared with it, this kind of body method is a secret that is not passed on in the Hidden Emperor's door, so Meng Lao can see that Zijing is the descendant of the Hidden Emperor, not to mention that he is so young, his martial arts are already so shocking, if it is not the descendant of the Hidden Emperor, how can he have such an achievement. ”
Mo Qingyun said with a solemn expression: "His Royal Highness, if Prince Zijing is really His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness, His Royal Highness has any way to prove his identity." ”
Luo Chengyu shook his head and said: "There is no way to do this, if it weren't for his various strange behaviors and his way of doing when he left, I wouldn't think like this, after all, although it was rumored that Yang Ning had disappeared that day, but in my opinion, most of them were controlled by the Yang family and kept as a chess piece, otherwise if he really escaped from Luoyang, why didn't he come to Youji, even if he couldn't take away my position as the son of the world, at least he could have a place to live." But think about it, even if he really came, it was difficult to determine his identity, because except for the guards beside his mother, no one in Youji had ever seen Yang Ning's appearance, and his mother never mentioned anything about his brother-in-law. ”
Mo Qingyun's eyes flashed with a cold gle, and he said in his heart, the Lord of the Fire Phoenix County is really decisive, this kind of practice is that the royal family wants to use His Royal Highness the Ninth to blackmail Youji, and it is difficult to make Youji believe that the hostage is true or false, it is true, and it can also be regarded as false, thinking of this, he persuaded: "Since it is difficult for His Royal Highness to confirm the identity of Prince Zijing, you might as well let it go first, since Prince Zijing mentioned the two disciples of Mr. Qingjue, His Royal Highness might as well take people back, and interrogate them carefully when the time comes, or be able to know whether Prince Zijing is His Royal Highness the Nine." If this is the case, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World must not let himself go, but still take His Royal Highness Nine back to Youji, so as not to displace him, if not, it is necessary to find out why he has such a grudge against His Royal Highness the Prince, so as to decide what to do with him. The current priority, His Royal Highness should not be too concerned about this matter, if Prince Zijing is really the heir of Emperor Yin, he will definitely not die easily. ”
Luo Chengyu was silent for a moment, and said: "I know what Qingyun means, if Yang Ning is still alive in the world, most of you will not be calm, but I am confident that I can control the overall situation, and the position of power is not only glory, but also responsibility. What's more, although I met Zijing for the first time, I felt very close to him, if he was really Yang Ning, I couldn't embarrass him with reason, and if he wasn't, I wouldn't want to hurt him. It's just that, somehow, as soon as I saw him, I felt that he should have been my brother, and he was probably really Yang Ning. ”
If Luo Chengyu put forward all kinds of reasons to convince himself that Zijing is Yang Ning, Mo Qingyun would naturally question it, but Luo Chengyu said such an ethereal reason, which made Mo Qingyun feel speechless, he secretly thought in his heart, if Zijing is really Yang Ning, but he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, this young man has such a martial arts character, sooner or later he will become a rare top master in the world, not to mention that he has hatred for the world, but the prince has a very good impression of him, if there is such an enemy, he really can't sleep. But after thinking about it, at the last moment of today's Zijing, he finally gave up the opportunity to kill Luo Chengyu, Mo Qingyun didn't believe that Zijing was afraid of death, a young man with such eyes would never be coerced by death, it seems that this young man is not completely hated by His Royal Highness, I am afraid that in his heart, he also has the same feeling as His Royal Highness the Prince, pouring as before, white hair as new, how bizarre and unpredictable the love between people is. But no matter who Zijing is, Mo Qingyun has already made a decision, Mr. Wu is the gentleman of His Royal Highness the Prince, and his ruthlessness is far above himself, as long as he informs Mr. Wu of this matter, then he will definitely make the best decision for His Highness, but he doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore, but he has made up his mind in his heart that he must pay close attention to Zijing's whereabouts and actions, if this person is hostile to the Son of the World, even if he offends the Son, he can't let this person make trouble.
Just when the two of them were relatively speechless and each fell into deep thought, Meng Yu hurriedly pushed the door in, his eyes were full of surprise, and said, "Son, His Royal Highness the King of Dian has come to visit in person." Luo Chengyu and Mo Qingyun were shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect that the King of Dian would come to visit suddenly, they originally met in Tingtao Pavilion, but it was to avoid people's eyes, but after today's assassination, most of the news that the prince of Yan came to Yueyang has leaked out, Luo Chengyu is ready to go to see Wu Heng, the king of Dian tomorrow, according to the number of etiquette, I didn't expect Wu Heng to come to visit in person, but this is a sign of closeness, why did Wu Heng's attitude suddenly become so affectionate, and both of them were suspicious in their hearts.
Luo Chengyu hurriedly stood up, hurriedly walked out, just walked outside the second gate of Tingtao Pavilion, and saw a middle-aged man with a cold and simple appearance striding forward, followed closely behind him was Baling County Shouning Sudao, although he was not masked, but Luo Chengyu had already guessed the identity of the man, hurriedly stepped forward, leaned down and bowed: "Luo Chengyu to meet Uncle Wu." "He met with the courtesy of a junior, this is not the Yin'an Palace in Nanning, and the two met in private, but this kind of etiquette is better than the ordinary officialdom etiquette.
Sure enough, Wu Heng saw that Luo Chengyu was so humble, and before Luo Chengyu's knees hit the ground, he had already picked him up, carefully looked at his appearance and bearing for a long time, and sighed: " The virtuous nephew and Ling Zun are seven points similar, alas, at the beginning of the Luoyang Alliance, the county lord and Ling Zun Ji Yuan Gong both attended, the county lord is heroic, peerless, Ling Zun is also a young hero, heroic and condensed, at that time the king felt that the two of them were perfectly matched, it was a good couple, I didn't expect to learn that Ling Zun married another thing, although I felt regretful in my heart, but I couldn't help but admire Ling Zun for respecting righteousness, the county lord was generous, and learned that Mrs. Ling Tangluo was also a strange woman of filial piety and righteousness, which really made the king envious of the blessing of Brother Jiyuan. It's a pity that the day is not a holiday, Ling Zun Lingtang died so early, Wu was also stunned when he heard it, but it was a pity that he failed to avenge Brother Luo, but today I saw such a character and demeanor of the virtuous nephew, and I think that your parents should also smile under Jiuquan. ”
Luo Chengyu said respectfully: "Mother has mentioned the prince many times in the letter, although there are many heroes in the world, but most of them come from famous families, only the general starts from the cold, rejects the southern Xinjiang and is the hero, and the barbarian is more and more established, my mother often says that the heroes of the world, only the prince is the person my mother admires the most, but it is a pity that there is no way to get together, and I can't fight side by side, which is a great regret in my heart." If the uncle can always take care of the little nephew in the future, the parents and mother will be very comforted. ”
Wu Heng sighed in his heart, this Luo Chengyu is really unusual, every sentence is hidden in the needle, whether it is bearing or words, he is against himself, he has respect in his heart, and said sincerely: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, don't this king understand such a truth, the virtuous nephew is here to form an alliance, but the world has been peaceful for a long time, although the virtuous nephew has the hatred of the country and the family, but if he is for his own selfishness, he will raise an army to fight, he is only afraid that the people's will will not match, and please consider it carefully." ”
At this time, Luo Chengyu had already stretched out his hand to suppress the guest, leading Wu Heng inward, and said as he walked: "Why did the prince say this, Chengyu is the throne of Yan, if you talk about the position of power, you are already the number of ten fingers in the world, how can you have the heart to rebel, today is also the lord of benevolence, the four seas are peaceful, the people are happy, how can the little nephew provoke war for his own selfishness?"
Wu Heng frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart, Yu Ji has the intention of fighting for hegemony, the world knows that in the past ten years, isn't it just to avenge the Yang family, but this Luo Chengyu is a little too hypocritical. His eyes flashed, but he saw Luo Chengyu's calm demeanor, and his phoenix eyes smiled, but he didn't have the slightest appearance against his will, somehow, an unforgettable figure appeared in Wu Heng's heart, and he couldn't help but stare at it, and only smiled for a moment: "Since the virtuous nephew said so, Wu Mou believed it, but if the virtuous nephew really raised troops in the future, don't blame this king for letting go, let the virtuous nephew deal with the Yang and Tang families." ”
Luo Chengyu's eyes flashed, and he said: "If the little nephew provokes a war, then naturally he doesn't dare to ask his uncle for help, but if someone else provokes the authority of Youji, and the little nephew rises up to resist, what is the uncle going to do?"
Wu Heng's heart moved, he already knew what Luo Chengyu meant, and sighed: "In the last years of the previous dynasty, there were displaced people in rebellion, attacking the imperial capital Luoyang, the thousand-year-old capital was wiped out, and there was Hu Rong in rebellion outside, and the Hu people in Longxi, Huining, Lingwu, Yanchuan, and Shuofang were harassed every year, and Dingxiang, Mayi, Yanmen, Zhuojun, Anle, Yuyang, and Beiping Wairong people wanted to cross Yanshan and herd horses, and heroes in the world arose, but those who could resist Hu Rong outside the country were only related to Zhongzhong and Youji. Therefore, when Hu Rong gradually calmed down, and the Cuihu Sect Master traveled in all directions to promote the Luoyang Alliance, only the two of you were qualified to compete for the throne. In fact, at that time, the king may not want to support the Yang family to ascend the throne, but the Yang family has occupied Guanzhong, Heluo, Jingxiang, the most powerful, and the people of the world have been tired for a long time. In order to reassure each other, in the end, everyone supported Yang Wei as the emperor, since the world has been nominally unified, then no one can easily send troops to fight, that is, Yang Wei, if you want to cut the domain, it is not so easy. In fact, it is understandable that Yang Wei has the intention to weaken our family, but he is too self-conscious, and he first attacked Youji, only to end up in a big defeat, if it were not for the mediation of the Cuihu Sect Master, I am afraid that his Da Chen's country will disappear, but he has wronged the county lord, although the Yue sect master's move has made the people of the world more than ten years happy, but he is ashamed of Youji, ashamed of the county lord. Now that His Royal Highness the Prince is about to grasp the power of Youji, everyone thinks that the virtuous nephew is going to raise troops and hate, but in the eyes of this king, I am afraid that the virtuous nephew wants to wait for the Yang and Tang families to provoke first, but the virtuous nephew can see it clearly, that is, the virtuous nephew does not want to take revenge, and the two families will not let go, but the virtuous nephew wants to hold the righteous name in his hands. ”
Wu Heng's words, although he really admired Luo Chengyu's strategy in his heart, couldn't help but implicitly ridicule, Luo Chengyu didn't realize it, just smiled and asked Wu Heng to use tea. Wu Heng saw that he was calm and calm, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, although he also used all his scheming means to include Southern Xinjiang in his bag, but this means of inviting the king into the urn has not been used, and he can't help but think of the grandeur of the former Huofeng County Lord who did not let the eyebrows and smile at the sky, only felt that although this Luo Chengyu was a son of Huofeng County, he was much more gloomy and thoughtful, if he was a head-on enemy, most of them would die by themselves, if the Yang family really had to be destroyed by Youji, his position as the lord of Southern Xinjiang was only afraid that it would be unstable, and he couldn't help but wait and see, but his mouth was full of sighs and admiration。
Luo Chengyu didn't seem to notice Wu Heng's hesitation, and said with a smile: " Although the prince said that although it is a thing, it is too contemptuous of his own merits, this place of Nanning, known as the hometown of the barbarian miasma in ancient times, to the farthest in the Central Plains, but since Wuhou Ping Nanzhong, it is already a rich land, its land is far away, can be cultivated and pastured, fish and salt are rao, A in the south, when the previous dynasty collapsed, the local native surname intended to split the territory and divide the territory, it is said that the ancestor of the Ning family is the head of the Xiyu, if the people of the barbarian Yue have seized the southern Xinjiang, I am afraid that now this place is not the land of the Central Plains, the prince takes the land to return to Chen, appeases the barbarians, and establishes Nanning, this is an immortal achievement, but it is a pity that the court of Dachen treats the prince as a barbarian, and the little nephew heard that the prince took Baling County, and Tang Kangnian, the prince of Yue, was furious, which once reprimanded the prince and said that the prince was originally a southern barbarian, and dared to invade the land of Hunan and Chu in the north, and watched the land of Jingxiang, and the little nephew heard that the Duke of Yue sent people to claim Baling County recently, I don't know if there is such a thing? If there is such a thing, Tang Kangnian is too arrogant, this world is still the world of Da Chen, but he Yue Guogong threatens the dignified Dian prince like this, and he does not know whose power he is relying on. ”
Wu Heng only felt blood gushing in his heart when he heard this, he was born in a humble background, born in a miasma land, if someone said that he was born poor, he still has a little self-satisfaction, after all, since ancient times, it is rare to be able to achieve such a feat with a humble body, but his ancestors have barbarian blood, and he is often excluded by the Han surname, which is the most taboo thing in his heart.
However, firstly, he originally had the intention to form an alliance with Youji, but secondly, he knew that these words were very likely to be what Tang Kangnian said, Tang Kangnian has always prided himself as the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, the most important defense of Yixia, the difference between respect and inferiority, in his opinion, he is just a nouveau riche, thinking of this, Wu Heng said coldly: " The Tang clan is just relying on the support of the royal family, so he dares to be so arrogant, if it is about the strength of the armor soldiers, he Tang clan is not as far as my Nanning, not to mention Youji, if it is a battle between Youji and Jiangning in the future, Wu is willing to go out of Yueyang, echo Youji, and take the southeast together, I don't know what the prince thinks?"
Luo Chengyu got up and said: "Little nephew, thank you uncle for this promise, but in Chengyu's opinion, instead of going out of Yueyang and going to Jiangling or Jiangxia, it is better to go east to Wugong Mountain, attack Yuzhang, Luling and other places, and then attack Jiujiang with light cavalry, choke the throat of Peng Li and Yuzhang in the south of the imperial court, and then take Poyang County, block the southeast reinforcements, and then wipe out the remnants of the enemy in the territory one by one, but it is better than marching to Jingbei, Yueyang is difficult to deal with Jiangling, The strong enemy of the two major towns of Jiangxia wants to go north, it is very difficult, and if you get Jiujiang, you can go north to Jianghuai and take Wuyue in the east, this is the humble opinion of the little nephew, I don't know what my uncle thinks?"
Wu Heng's heart was shocked, didn't he know that although he got Baling County, he wanted to go north to Jingxiang, but it was very difficult, and he only had the intention of dragging the Yang and Tang armies in Jingxiang, and he had no intention of really starting a war, but what Luo Chengyu said was insightful, if he could get Jiujiang, he would have the opportunity to compete for the world, and he was no longer just a bystander in the world. It's just that if this is the case, not only will he offend the Tang clan that is deeply rooted in the southeast, but also the imperial court, and he will rebel to the letter, which is really not a good choice for Nanning, who wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. But Wu Heng knew in his heart that this could be said to be the only choice, if he had the ambition of the world. There were a lot of things in his mind for a while, and it was difficult to decide, Wu Heng couldn't help but pick up the teacup, drank the tea that was already a little cool, and said after a while: "What the prince said is the truth of the soldiers, but once this is the case, Wu will never turn back, but the prince is calculating, do you want Wu to be outside the court?"
Luo Chengyu smiled slightly, and said: "The prince must be worried about the elite soldiers of the imperial court going south, but I am afraid that they will no longer have such strength by then, Changsha is a rich land, and the prince has stayed here almost all the year round in recent years. The Tang family joined forces to attack, but I am afraid that the prince has already wanted to move the palace from Nanning Prefecture to Changsha, could it be that the prince wants to stay in southern Xinjiang for the rest of his life, if so, why bother to seek the land of Hunan and Chu, such as today is already the Yang family, although I have enough soldiers and food, but there are Rong people outside to harass every year, and there are Yang, The Tang family is eyeing each other, Chengyu is anti-minded, but it is just a struggle to survive, the Han King of Yizhou has always been weak, no enterprising, if it is not for the hindrance of the prince and Youji, I am afraid that the three feudatories have already become two feudatories, if the prince is willing to cooperate with Chengyu to raise troops, then you and I will confront the north and south, and divide the world equally, wouldn't it be better than letting those nobles from wealthy families bet on you and me. Chengyu also did not shy away from saying that if it really came to the day of confrontation between the north and the south in the future, Chengyu still wanted it in the world, so you and I will also be hostile, but I am afraid that it will be decades later, why think too much about things in the future, it is better for the north and south to fight than to be broken by the imperial court. ”
Wu Heng sighed and said: "The prince is really a hidden strategy, this words are the stone to nod, that's it, His Royal Highness is right, rather than being humiliated by the wealthy family, it is better to fight to the death, and the future will be said in the future, when Wu raised the army, it was just to survive, how could he have had any ambition in the world, but the struggle for power, he couldn't help himself, it was like sailing against the current, if he didn't advance, he would retreat, even if Wu didn't want to fight, he was afraid that he couldn't be alone, in this case, Wu was willing to make an alliance with His Royal Highness to deal with Yang, The Tang family, I don't know if His Royal Highness is sincere. After that, Wu Heng's dark eyes suddenly shone with cold light, and the whole person seemed to become as dazzling as a sharp blade.
Seeing this, Luo Chengyu felt a pang in his heart, and secretly reminded himself not to despise Wu Heng because he persuaded him today, but his face was silent, and he took a blue and white wine jar from the cabinet on the side, and said with a smile: "If you can talk to your uncle about wine, Chengyu is naturally very honorable." Then he took two large bowls, and removed the mud seals, and made two bowls of wine.
Wu Heng smiled slightly, his nails were lightly scratched, his wrists did not move, and a few drops of blood seemed to be pulled by silk threads, and they fell into the two bowls of wine without any difference, Luo Chengyu also did the same, but there was no superfluous action, and the blood fell into the wine bowl normally.
The two picked up the wine bowl and touched it gently, Luo Chengyu drank it all first, and said loudly: "The two families have an alliance to discuss Yang and Tang, and there is an alliance with Chongqing, and the clan will be wiped out." Wu Heng also poured the wine into his throat, and as soon as the wine entered his throat, the hot and spicy feeling like fire magma made Wu Heng frown, but his internal strength was profound, and he used his strength to remove the power of wine, and raised his eyes to look at Luo Chengyu, but he saw that his expression was as usual, and he didn't notice that he had any signs of luck, so he couldn't help but secretly admire the amount of alcohol that this young man had, and said solemnly: "Blood is an alliance, annexing Yang Tang, and there is an alliance of Chongqing, and there will be no return." ”
Looking at each other, they all felt that the other party's eyes were full of blazing ambition, Wu Heng put down the wine bowl first, and laughed loudly: "Youji men love spirits and famous horses, and today I saw that it was true, the son of the world has a good amount of wine." Luo Chengyu also smiled slightly, and said: "This wine is called 'Yi Shui Han', it is the most precious liquor in Youji, if it is not this wine, how can it be given to heroes." ”
Wu Heng's heart was shocked, and he said: "Yi Shui Han, a good Yi Shui Han, if everyone drinks this wine, the Yang and Tang families, but when can they be arrogant." After saying that, he stared at Luo Chengyu, when he first saw him, he felt that this young man was gentle and polite, and after some words, he felt that he was deep and wise, but at this moment, he felt that he was generous and graceful, and only in this way could he be worthy of inheriting the mantle of the county lord of Huofeng, Wu Heng thought about it again and again, and finally said lightly: "Your Highness's demeanor can be compared with the demeanor of the county lord back then, but I don't know what kind of temperament His Royal Highness the Ninth is in character." ”
Luo Chengyu's right hand trembled slightly, and he hurriedly put down the wine bowl in his hand, and said as if unintentionally: "My righteous brother who has never been masked has been missing for a long time, but Chengyu also wants to see him. Although he suspected that Zi Jing was Yang Ning, after all, there was no evidence, and no rumors had been revealed, why did Wu Heng mention Yang Ning as soon as he came, wouldn't it be that he knew any secrets, right?
Wu Heng didn't know what Luo Chengyu was thinking, so he just said lightly: "Wu got a news, I heard that His Royal Highness the Ninth has returned to the imperial court, and he may also go to Youji to pay homage to King Yan and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, I don't know if this news is true or not, Wu Mou said, Chengyu might as well listen to it." ”
Luo Chengyu's heart is like turning over the river and the sea, his mind is turning back and forth, if what Wu Heng said is true, then Zijing is not Yang Ning, and he suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
