Chapter 206: Undercover Xi'er
Li Hongji said: "You say that the third brother, he is a blind man, you want to say that the second brother has the slightest possibility of snatching my throne, the third brother is absolutely impossible, that waste ......"
Xi'er pressed her hand again, and looked at the two princes very seriously, and the two of them knew that Xi'er was not joking, so they sat up straight and looked at her very seriously.
Xi'er sighed, "What was the first rumor you heard about Master Zongxin?"
"You can't ask me about this, Master Zongxin was born in Xishu, at that time, Meng Chang, the king of Shu, invited Master Zongzhi to eat wine, but just happened to meet Dugu Feng to seek revenge, Master Zongxin used Buddhism to resolve Dugu Feng's hatred for many years of hatred of Meng, and also found an old wife for Dugu Feng, and the woman who wanted to come to Dugu's family was quite fated with Master Zongzhi. ”
"What about the transition process?"
Li Hongmao said: "This matter is known to the whole world, Master Zongxin gouged out his eyes with his hands, and then put them back into his eye sockets. Dugu Feng put down the butcher's knife because he saw this scene......"
When Li Hongmao said this, he immediately looked at Li Hongji. The two of them were stupid at the time, they didn't even figure out such a simple thing, since Zong Xin could gouge out his own eyes and put them back, then he might also be able to gouge out other people's eyes and put them back.
If Master Zongxin cured the eyes of the third brother...... That's a catastrophe. Although they don't want to admit it, Li Hongji and Li Hongmao are really not mixed, they know their martial arts and literary talents very well, that is, they are better than ordinary people. But the third brother Li Congjia is different, his martial arts are very powerful, and his writing is also very good, and his military is also very good.
If the third brother Li Congjia's eyes are cured, Li Hongji's position under the East Palace may indeed be lost. Li Jing, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is not a fool, he knows very well in his heart that his third son is very good, so he loves him everywhere. It's a pity that he is blind and can't let him inherit the throne, otherwise Li Hongji would have no chance to be named under the East Palace.
Li Hongji's face had begun to sweat, this matter was too terrible. Although he has no enmity with his third brother, his relationship with him is not very good, and he even laughs at him sometimes. If the third brother is made the king of Tang, their lives will be sad in the future.
Even some ministers killed them in turn in order to curry favor with the Tang King, but it was not necessarily. This is no longer a question of a loss of status, but a loss of life.
Whether it is status or life, it is equally important to Li Hongji and Li Hongmao. For they have no place as they have no life. Because of the misdeeds on weekdays, if the status is not guaranteed, someone will definitely come to take their lives, so they must keep the status of the Tang King in the future.
But...... They really didn't expect that the third brother would be able to turn over, and Master Zongxin would actually mix with him. Although it is not yet known whether Master Zongxin can cure the eyes of the third brother, this possibility is very high.
Li Hongji and Li Hongmao's eyes also began to become serious, the two of them are actually not stupid, and their talents are also very good, but they are not competitive at all for too long, so there is no need for them to work hard. When you think about the crisis in the future, even the stupidest person will get serious.
"Xi'er, let's see if Master Zongxin can cure the eyes of the third brother. ”
Xi'er shook her head and said, "I don't know about this, anyway, Master Zongxin and King Wu have a close relationship, and I think they are already called brothers." If Master Zongxin had this ability, he would definitely not be stingy with his mana to heal King Wu's eyes. Now the question is whether Master Soshin can cure his eyes. ”
If it were someone else, Li Hongji and Li Hongmao would never be worried. But Master Zongxin is a legend on the rivers and lakes, if it is just a strong martial arts, but his Buddhism is profound, and he can subdue demons and catch monsters. This has been confirmed, there have been three huge snake heads hanging on the gate of Xinzhou City, these three snake demons have eaten countless monks in the world, and the person who surrendered these three snake demons is Zongxin.
A person who can kill a youkai must have mana, and the mana is still very high. The most important thing is that Zong Xin can gouge out his eyes and put them back, which happens to be what he is most worried about. If Zong Xin finds a normal person to change his eyes to the third brother Li Congjia, I believe that the third brother will be able to see the light of day again, and then he will be in danger.
"The only way to do this now is to strike first. Kill the third brother and Zong Xin first, so as to prevent future troubles. ”
Li Hongmao immediately nodded and said, "Big brother, I'll arrange people." ”
Xi'er used force in her hands, and the two of them immediately became honest.
"What did you two do? Don't you use your brains except for eating, drinking, and having fun? If killing people can solve the problem, do you still need to arrange for people? Xi would have killed King Wu for you a long time ago. Xi'er said: "Master Zongxin's martial arts are profound, and everyone around him is a martial arts master, just talking about the eighteen protectors of the eighteen horses of Youyun and their mounts, it is not ordinary people who can hurt them." What's more, this is not only the territory of the two of you, but also the territory of the Dugu Valve, Master Zongxin, the son-in-law of the Dugu Valve, you dare to send someone to kill it?"
Xi'er's words made Li Hongji and Li Hongmao not know what to do, if they couldn't kill them, what should they do? At that point, it will be a dead end.
Xi'er said: "Do you know how I came to Jinling? The wolf of the Eighteen Horses of Youyun is a real horse traveling thousands of miles a day, and the speed is by no means comparable to that of horses. If they want to escape, no one can catch up, plus this group of people has strong martial arts, even if they are ambushed, they can fight their way out with their strong martial arts and the speed and physique of the wolf. Therefore, you can't use open guns to defeat you, you can only kill people with hidden arrows. ”
"Xi'er, what do you mean?" Li Hongmao didn't understand very much, he usually used his brain very little, so his brain was not enough.
Xi'er said: "Since I was a child, I told you to read more and use your brains more, otherwise you will become stupid." He never listened to me, but now he knows that he doesn't have enough brains. The so-called two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and the heroes can't stand the crowd, if they can send troops to attack, they will definitely die. But...... We don't necessarily need to kill Zong Xin and King Wu, the important thing now is whether Zong Xin can cure King Wu's eyes, and you have to figure this out. If Zong Xin can't cure King Wu's eyes, then it's not to kill them, but to curry favor with them, how powerful Master Zong Xin is, if he assists King Ji, he will definitely be able to unify the world and become famous for eternity. Even if Master Zongxin has no intention of assisting, as long as he occasionally mentions something, it can make you worry-free for the rest of your life. If there is chaos today, it is not a killing word that can solve everything, you must learn how to get close to the capable, otherwise you will not be able to let the people live and work in peace and contentment after you become the emperor. ”
Li Hongmao nodded and said, "Xi'er is right, I don't have many capable people in Datang. All of them are people who tend to be inflammatory, and those who are capable don't want to get close to the two of us. If you get the approval of Master Zongxin, it is also good to find more virtuous ministers in the future. What's more, our brothers are really not very smart, and it may not be easy to sit firmly on our side. ”
Li Hongji also nodded, although he didn't know what the second brother said, but the last sentence was right, he was indeed not smart. Now there is his father Li Jing to take care of the country, although he is idle, but after the death of his father, he becomes the emperor, then he has to deal with the government and military.
His father, Emperor Li Jing, was indeed a generation of heroes, and the treasury of the Tang Dynasty was almost emptied by him, and all the money was used to fight the war. And my father likes to do it himself, and every time he personally leads troops to attack the enemy country. I can't do that on my own...... What if I lose the battle and am captured?
And the affairs of the court and government are not easy, every day to review countless chapters, every day it takes a month to read the daily chapters, if this is the case, it is better not to be the emperor. What's so bad about spending time in the East Palace every day?
That being said, but his father, Emperor Li Jing, will die one day, and he must also be the emperor at that time. Therefore, I need the assistance of virtuous ministers, if there is no this, I am afraid that this country will be in chaos, and I will definitely have no choice at that time. Although the second brother is dedicated to himself, he is not very smart, and sometimes he is not as bright as his own head, so he can't count on it.
At this time, Li Hongji was a little jealous of his third brother Li Congjia, who was obviously blind but so powerful. If you can, it's not bad to have the third brother assist.
Li Hongji said: "Xi'er, you know that our brothers are not very smart, you clearly said what you should do." ”
Xi'er said: "It's very simple, first find out if Master Zongxin can cure King Wu's eyes, and if he can, he will frame King Wu for a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and send a large army to encircle and suppress King Wu's mansion." At that time, neither King Wu nor Zong Xin will be able to escape, and with your current strength, this matter will not be difficult. If he can't cure King Wu's eyes, it would be even better, and every day under the pretext of visiting King Wu, he will be as close as possible to Master Zongxin, understand Master Zongxin's preferences, and then buy him. ”
"I'm afraid this is not easy to ......," Li Hongmao said: "Master Zongxin is a monk who can't even look down on Zi Bodhi, how can we have anything more precious than Zi Bodhi? Even Zi Bodhi only has three in total, or you killed all Wang Shangshu's family and collected them from home." At that time, we had one for each person, just to save our lives at a critical time, but I didn't expect you to give this thing to Zongxin. ”
"Originally, I didn't want to take out the Purple Bodhi, I just wanted to test Master Zongxin's concentration. Master Zongxin was quite interested at first, but after hearing about me, he gave Zi Bodhi to Bai Yunfei. I'll get this purple bodhi back one day, so you don't have to worry about that. As long as King Ji takes over the business of Baiyunzhuang completely, Bai Yunfei will be useless at that time and can be killed at any time. Didn't you let me go undercover in Baiyunzhuang for so many years just to take over the business of Baiyunzhuang?"
