Chapter 898: Ten Sons
Zhang Ji, who has been teaching ancient books in the castle for half his life, has plenty of time to design a clear future path for himself: it is Dubu Wang and Jinpeng Fort who provide him with power, it is Beiting and the Central Plains who rush to the front, and his favorite student Shangguan Yun walks side by side, and he never looks back at the crowd of beings and losers who follow behind.
On this road, Huan Nu is just a passing moment, and it is not even as important as Shangguan Hong, who has been used by him for a while.
Therefore, in the face of the Dragon King, Zhang Ji couldn't help but have mixed feelings, the Huan slave of the year did not fall behind him, but needed him to look up, and the sense of shame contained in it even made him a little restless.
But he won't show it, Zhang Ji is Zhang Ji, even if the huge waves in his heart are surging, his face is still silent, although the road he designed has been ruined beyond recognition, before he is cornered, he still has a chance to completely defeat the Dragon King.
"You are my enemy. Zhang Ji said.
Only people who know this teacher very well can taste the praise in his words, and Gu Shenwei is one of them, so he bowed his head and saluted, "I am honored to be able to achieve this status." ”
"If you want to ask me for advice, answer me a question first, be honest, and don't be half-false. ”
Zhang Ji still can't get rid of the habit of teaching, and the dragon king is always the student who regularly gives wine and occasionally humbly asks for advice in his eyes.
"I tell more lies than the truth, but with Mr. Zhang, I will make an exception. ”
"Well, don't worry, I don't ask you about the future, I just want to know how you got behind Luo Luo's army in the Battle of Qianqi Pass, and then rushed into the Chinese army, that requires an extremely complex and detailed plan, and the ability to see the overall situation, I don't believe - there is no derogatory meaning - there is such a figure in the Dragon King's army. ”
The simplest and most straightforward answer: that's a miracle.
The battle of Qianqi Pass was full of accidents and accidents from beginning to end, and Gu Shenwei had spent a lot of energy investigating the conspiracies and wrestles that took place on the battlefield at that time, but the result was still like a fog, and he could only dig out the most obvious betrayers, and as for their impact on the war, he never thought about it.
Zhang Ji asked a difficult question to answer, Gu Shenwei didn't want to lie, and he didn't want to throw out that simple and false answer, he pondered for a while, and said: "I made a plan with the generals in the army, but I couldn't implement it completely, my original idea was to block Luo Luo's attack, prove that he is not invincible, to boost morale, and then sit back and wait for winter to come." Circumambulating the back of Rollo's army, or even rushing straight to the Chinese army, was not in the original plan, and the truth is, I was lost. ”
Zhang Ji listened to this unbelievable answer, grabbed the teacup on the table, drank it like wine, and then laughed a few times, his expression became relieved, "I see, I ...... so."
A burden in Zhang Ji's heart has finally been relieved, "I thought it was ...... Forget it, the Dragon King is honest with each other, and I have to be polite and reciprocal, tell me about your doubts, be detailed, don't cover it up in a roundabout way, that will only confuse me, not give you ideas. ”
Zhang Ji was proud of his resourcefulness and eyesight, and when he learned from the Dragon King that the fiasco of Qianqi Pass had nothing to do with strategy, his confidence returned.
Gu Shenwei felt that he was telling the truth, but he did not fully express the true experience of that war, getting lost is the same as a miracle, it is an overly simple answer, without those Dragon Army soldiers who swore to follow him, without the unswerving attack of Duguxian and others, and even without the resistance of the army led by Liman and Xiao Yan on the left flank, it would be impossible for the Shulitu army to win.
It was too complicated to list everything, Gu Shenwei finally chose to detour the past, he said the information he got from Mrs. Meng, "I don't believe her, but I can't figure it out, what is the means of Madame Meng framing me, and what is the purpose? She has fallen out of favor with King Dubu, betrayed the Central Plains people to me, provoked me to fight with Wei Song, and almost offended all possible backers, what benefits can she get?"
"You think I'm against Mrs. Meng, so I'll help you with ideas?"
"Yes. "Gu Shenwei doesn't need to say much, Mrs. Meng's means of dealing with the enemy everyone in the castle knows that her fall from grace shows that her love is exposed, but behind the scenes is Zhang Ji's operation, and Mr. Teaching will not be defenseless.
"I persuaded the royal lord to kill this woman, but he didn't agree, I originally thought that if I could bring Luo Luo's army back to the Western Regions, it would be more weighty to speak, and it would naturally be easier to get rid of Mrs. Meng, but I didn't expect ...... You saved her. ”
"Well, an unintentional result, so she won't be grateful to me. ”
"Wei Song wants to kill you?" Zhang Ji asked, he had already begun to think about the possible conspiracy in it, this was his preference, even if it was to help the enemy, he had to do his best.
"I have some personal vendetta with him. ”
"Do you suspect that he hired a killer to assassinate the Gu family back then?"
"Probably, but Wei Song doesn't seem to be particularly close to King Dubu, so I suspect that he is just an insider, anyway, I killed his son, and he wants revenge. ”
"Revenge again. Zhang Ji threw out a sentence disdainfully, his views on revenge, he and Fang Wen were the same, and they both felt that it was a burden on the road to the emperor's hegemony, "Mrs. Meng inherited her own subordinates to assassinate the Central Plains envoys, but put all the responsibility on Wei Song?"
"Exactly. ”
"In fact, if it can really be proved that the main messenger is Wei Song, it will be a good thing for Biyu City and the entire Western Regions. ”
"I suspect that Wei Song had already thought of this when he asked Mrs. Meng for help, and he would definitely take precautions. ”
"It's a trap. Zhang Ji said with certainty, "I don't know Wei Song, but I know that Mrs. Meng is not as weak as you think, the king has forgiven the tenth prince, and sooner or later he will forgive his wife, so you said that Mrs. Meng fell out of favor, it is not exact, it is only temporary, I believe she still has a plan, hoping to regain the favor of the king, at least, she wants to take Shangguan Fei back to Shibao." ”
"This is not easy, it is easier for Dubu Wang to accept Madame Meng than Shangguan Fei. ””
Shangguan Fei's surname and habits were the biggest obstacles to his return to the stone castle, and it was impossible for King Dubu to turn a blind eye to this.
"Unless...... "Unless the king has only one son left." ”
"Shangguan Yun. Gu Shenwei immediately thought of the third young master who was arranged by him in Xiaowan Kingdom.
Zhang Ji let out a long sigh, "The third young master has disappointed the king lord, to be honest, it also makes me a little disappointed, he has lost his fighting spirit, and would rather surrender to the dragon king than fight hard." Sooner or later, Mrs. Meng will still get rid of him, but she will not list him as the most important target at the moment. ”
The son of King Dubu was either dead or wounded, unless there was another illegitimate child, and there was only one person left for Gu Shenwei to think of, "Luo Ningcha's son?"
"Shangguan Cheng, his name is Shangguan Cheng, this year...... It's four or five years old, I haven't met him, and he's said to be very smart. There is a prophecy in the stone castle, called 'cross becomes king', or 'ten sons become kings', in short, it should be on 'ten', and the king seems to believe in it very much. The tenth prince is a tomboy, it doesn't count, Shangguan Hong, the king has never wanted to admit him, and it doesn't count, so Luo Ningcha's son is the tenth son, and his name was taken by King Dubu himself, and the word 'Cheng' has already indicated his attitude. ”
"He's a ...... Not much older than a baby. Gu Shenwei felt a little incredible.
"When a person stays in a high place for a long time, looking around, he will inevitably believe in the set of things of the Mandate of Heaven, and the victory of the Dragon King's 'lost' will be believed a few more times, and the king is like this, I can understand, but the persuasion is not moving, he is firmly convinced that this child will inherit the king's title. ”
When a person falls to the bottom and is helpless, he will also believe in the destiny of heaven, and Gu Shenwei remembers how obsessed he was with finding the instructions of "divine will" when his family was just ruined.
There was a wonderful similarity between the highest and the lowest, Gu Shenwei let out a small sigh in his heart, and immediately turned to the crisis in front of him, "So Shangguan Cheng is the biggest obstacle for Shangguan Fei to return to Jinpeng Castle." ”
At least in Mrs. Meng's opinion. Zhang Ji dipped his fingers in the water and scratched around on the table, not knowing what he was writing, but his train of thought was not interrupted, "But she didn't dare to do it, first, the king likes the youngest son very much, and second, alas, I didn't expect me Zhang Ji to say this kind of thing, the beauty of Luo Ning tea is of great value, even the king wants to use it, this is also Shangguan Cheng's talisman." ”
Gu Shenwei could imagine that as long as Jinpeng Castle became strong again, Luo Ningcha would obediently return to Dubu Wang and offer all the gains she had earned.
"So Mrs. Meng wants to borrow someone else's hand to get rid of Luo Ning tea, but she still can't move Shangguan Cheng. ”
Zhang Ji shook his head, "'Ten Sons' is actually eleven strokes, but ...... Shangguan Cheng is ostensibly the tenth son, but in fact he is the eleventh, can he really become a king? Alas, I can't think about things, and the more I think about it, the more confused I become, and I'm about to believe in that messy thing. ”
Zhang Ji said an inexplicable word, wiped the water traces on the table, looked up at the Dragon King, and his eyes became cold and stern, "There is a rumor, although it is not widely spread, but there are many people who know it, saying that the Dragon King exceeded the limit of master and servant with the Seventh Young Grandmother in the stone castle and did things that should not be done. ”
"This is Biyu City, no matter how bad the rumors are, few people take it seriously. "Gu Shenwei didn't promise to tell the truth in this matter.
"You don't need too many people to take it seriously, as long as you can make the king believe it, or even just have doubts, Mrs. Meng's goal has been achieved: to clear the way for Shangguan Fei to return to the stone castle, if you can get rid of the dragon king casually, it will be a great merit, a hundred times and a thousand times greater than my defeated military advisor. ”
Zhang Ji picked up the tea and said that he was sending off the guests.
Gu Shenwei got up to say goodbye, and his heart was much clearer than when he came.
Zhang Ji and Mrs. Meng are mortal enemies, but his analysis is unbiased, Gu Shenwei figured out where his mistakes were, Luo Ning tea, Luo Ning tea, who knew nothing, was the core of the whole conspiracy.
Seeing the Dragon King leave the tavern, Zhang Ji also understood one thing: the Dragon King was able to win because he knew how to use the power of the enemy, and this was exactly what he taught Huan Nu back then.
