Beijing, Qifeng Tower.

Today's deliberations have ended, but Lu Pingyi has not left.

"You're still not going to stop?"

"Let's wait and see. ”

"The 'Marquis of Zhongzhou' failed to attack the 'Yangdao League', three days ago it was defeated, a four-rank general, two five-rank generals were captured alive, it is said that there are two officials in the court today to impeach the 'Zhongzhou Marquis' Gao Kuo, saying that it is a private transfer of troops, not abiding by the law, and disturbing the people for no reason, so as to provoke a popular uprising. ”

"Well, I already know that. ”

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's weird?"

"'Yang Dao League' has always been peaceful, even if there is some misunderstanding with the government, it will not be taken seriously, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he was so bold to capture the imperial court officials, did he want to disrupt this game of chess and cause chaos to Wu Jingguo, or was he demonstrating to the new emperor, wanting the emperor to issue an edict to seek some benefits, and even enter the military circles?"

"What does the matter of the 'Raising Sword Alliance' have to do with us?"

"It is said that we have not seen the shadow of a purple butterfly for several days in the surrounding mountain, and this has nothing to do with us?"

"What do you want to say?"

"The 'Yang Dao Alliance' has made abnormal moves, not only to the imperial court officials, but also to accept the rebels who fled in the early stage, and the 'Six Dragons Gang' is unusually quiet, I always have a bad feeling. At present, the situation is becoming more and more complicated, and we can't provoke two of the four major gangs in the world at the same time, even Wu Jingguo definitely doesn't want to do this. ”

Wei Ciyun sighed faintly and said, "I don't understand what you said, but if we withdraw at this time, we will inevitably be retaliated by Wu Jingguo." ”

"Well, success is also Xiao He defeats Xiao He, we are prosperous because of him, and we must prevent defeat because of him. But if you want to quit ......"

"Well, just keep an eye on it. Lu Pingyi wanted to say more, but Wei Ciyun had already interrupted him.

"What about Xiao Lou? You haven't asked what you shouldn't be asking these days, right?"

"No, I'm curious, son of the dragon god, how do you know about the 'Hidden Dragon Hall' that even Wu Jingguo doesn't know?"

"I heard from a friend. ”

Wei Ciyun smiled and said, "Can you trust me?"

Lu Ping nodded and said: "It's Chang Lao Jiu of the 'Jiuyuan Blacksmith Shop', he previously served in the 'Buyi Guard' of the 'Osumi Heavenly City' Tianzong, the 'Osumi Heavenly City' was the enemy of the 'Six Dragons Gang', in a battle, seeing that the 'Hidden Dragon Hall' was suddenly killed under the complete victory, the battle was reversed, only then did I know that the 'Six Dragons Gang' still has such a secret hand, and this 'Hidden Dragon Hall' may be any of the peddlers around him, they are not many in number, their identities are different, but they have a common characteristic, strong!" Any person who gets it on the rivers and lakes is a master of one in a thousand. The six dragons of the "Six Dragons Gang" on the rivers and lakes refer to the "Five Dragon Kings" and the "Dragon God" themselves, in fact, the "Six Dragons Gang" has the "Six Dragon Kings", and the most powerful is the "Old Dragon King", the hall master of the "Hidden Dragon Hall". The "Hidden Dragon King", also known as the "Old Dragon King", is the master of the "Dragon God", although the strength is not as good as the "Dragon God" but far above the other Dragon Kings, if he is willing, there will be a place among the six masters in the world. ”

"Chang Lao Jiu is a person from 'Osumi Heavenly City'?"

"Yes. One of the two commanders under the head of the 'cloth guard', and the cloth guard is him. ”

"How could he tell you this?"

"He's half my master. Our two families were originally neighbors, he rarely came back when he was in the heavenly city, and later he married a wife and gave birth to a child, I know some martial arts, and I will protect and take care of him, and he will give me a few tricks when he returns from rest. He was more than ten years older than me, but now he looked more like an old man. ”

"It turns out that you still have this relationship, and the son of the 'Dragon God' is also what he told you?"

"The 'dragon god' has no son, and the 'thunder god' is the son. The 'Thor' took the son as a hostage and negotiated with the 'Dragon God', but the 'Dragon God' liked the child very much, so he accepted him as a righteous son, and there are many people who know about this matter, but there is no need to hide it. But people only know that there is such a thing, the 'dragon god' recognized such a son, as for what the child looks like, but very few people have seen it, the 'dragon god' is really good to this child or just used to blackmail the thunder god is not clear, the 'thunder god' is a hostage or a blatant pawn put into the 'Six Dragons Gang' There is no way to verify, and some people guess that the 'thunder god' is afraid that the heavenly monarch will bring the 'Ming and Tang Five Mirrors' revenge to implicate this son, so it is given Dragon God's protection, this matter involves the relationship between the three major gangs, we don't know if there is an open and secret fight, and it's best not to ask, let alone tell Wu Jingguo, no matter which of these three gangs is not something we can afford to offend, once the son of the 'Thor' has an accident, our entire 'Qifeng Tower' will not be left behind. Regarding the 'Hidden Dragon Hall', it may involve the struggle between the 'Six Dragons Gang' and Wu Jingguo, let alone ask, it is enough to help Wu Jingguo make a stand on certain matters, we don't need to be the vanguard for him, take 10,000 steps back, once Wu Jingguo loses power, we still have room for peace talks, and it will be too late to completely become a life-and-death situation. ”

Wei Ciyun said: "Well, don't ask." ”

"Did you ask Xiao Lou about that, and what did she mean?"

Xiao Lou didn't say anything, so let's talk about it as a last resort. It's you, one thing in front of you and one thing behind you, aren't you tired?" Wei Ciyun looked at him with a smile.

"I'm tired, but I'm more afraid. ”

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the situation will get out of your control or will you be afraid of causing unnecessary trouble?"

"I'm afraid that I will lose my value in front of you, and I'm afraid that you won't use me anymore. Lu Pingyi did not shy away from it and said directly.

"Really?" Wei Ciyun smiled slightly. "Am I that snobbish?"

Lu Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Then are you willing to put down 'Qifeng Tower' and go with me?"

"I don't want to. ”

Lu Pingyi smiled helplessly.

"Pingyi!" Wei Ciyun shouted with a little anger. "You just want me to be a piece of waste, doing laundry and cooking at home all day?"

Lu Ping sighed one by one: "Okay, don't talk about it, it's your reason inside and out." If you don't talk to our leader, I will be content with the deputy gang leader. ”

Wei Ciyun glanced at him and was about to fight, but Lu Ping hugged his head and fled like a child.

In the Jingguo Mansion, the adults had just dispersed, and only Wu Jingguo, Master Li, the patriarch and Granny Rui were sitting in the hall.

Since the new emperor succeeded to the throne, this is the first time that Wu Jingguo has officially returned to the palace to discuss matters, and related topics are not leaving the throne.

"Did you all hear what you said?"

"I heard you. Master Li was the first to answer, and both the patriarch and Granny Rui nodded.

"Mr. Li, what do you say?"

"There are drawbacks and omissions between advance and retreat, and the key is for students to think about it again. ”

"Well, what do the patriarchs and Granny Rui think?"

Granny Rui hugged her fists and said: "Governor of the Mansion, the old man thinks that Lord Ren, what Lord Luo said is reasonable, and there is no certainty of victory at the moment, and it is not easy to move." ”

Wu Jingguo frowned, looked at the patriarch, and the patriarch hugged his fists and said, "Does the governor want to hear the truth or lie?"

"Of course it's the truth, why listen to lies?"

"Five wins and five defeats in battle, nine losses and one win without fighting. ”

"Patriarch, please speak clearly. ”

"There are three reasons for the war, first, when the emperor is the 'honorary king', the governor wants to get rid of it, this is a feud, one day he is in power, how can he let go of the governor; second, the governor holds real power in the court, and the emperor is elevated, and the new emperor will be hostile to the governor if he wants to take power; third, the emperor has just succeeded to the throne, everything is unstable, there are many ministers and bystanders in the court, and the number of people who are hostile to the governor for a long time increases, and the grass on the wall under the governor will surely sway with the wind, and even turn against each other, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the governor. The patriarch said.

"It's as if the patriarch hadn't thought so before. "Wu Jingguo rubbed his 'temples', it is difficult to do things with many people, the previous adults, you and I have a word, each has a reason, this will be another reason for the elder, how can he not make difficulties?

"Before, I also had the mentality of exploring the truth and talking about it, but two things had to make me change my mind. ”

"What two things?"

"One, color, the saddest thing for young people is the color word level, may I ask how many beauties of the palace governor and guard gang leader have ever missed?"

A trace of unhappiness flashed on Wu Jingguo's face, and he said in a deep voice: "It is rare to miss. ”

The patriarch said: "But our 'King of Honor' only went to one trip to 'Qifeng Tower' and never went again, if the old man remembers correctly, that day's 'King Yu' found a girl named Yan Hong, a few days ago the old man went to a 'Qi Feng Tower', that Yan Hong looks very good, if it is twenty years younger, the old man may not be able to bear it, 'King Yu' is greedy for women at the age but did it, he is not here, what he wants is not pleasure, it must be a position of power. ”

Wu Jingguo said tepidly: "What about the second thing?"

The patriarch said: "The second is today's matter, 'King Yu' succeeded to the throne on the twenty-fourth of this month, and it has only been a few days since then, but it is quite old to deal with the matter between the 'Marquis of Zhongzhou' and the 'Yang Dao Alliance', and there is a fear that there is a mind to confuse the governor and the marquis to relax their vigilance. ”

Today, the emperor did not punish Gao Kuo for sending troops privately, nor did he detain the court officials to order the attack on the mountain because of the 'Yang Dao League's private possession of Qin criminals, but pardoned the faults of both parties by taking advantage of the 27-day mourning period before the death period, and said that the 'Yang Dao League' is also a citizen of the court, and the court should take out the court's measure if they can be content with doing business and not causing trouble, and specially ordered Gao Kuo and Zhong Yu to go to pacify, thinking that they are a model for the gangs in the world, so that the gangs in the world are inspired by the emperor's grace and abide by the law.

Wu Jingguo nodded, what the patriarch said is not unreasonable, the little emperor's trick is really incomprehensible, whether it is the young man's mind that thinks things too simple and too perfect, or the flaws that the young man deliberately sells, he is actually not sure, for this little emperor, he has three points to look down on, and three points to fear, but the remaining four points are unpredictable, because it is unpredictable, so as early as the emperor when ' He had tried many times, but every time he was tempted, after a few days, he felt uneasy again, so he tried again, and each time he tried it, there was not much change, but the uneasiness in his heart could not be removed. Until the conflict a few days ago, what he didn't expect was that after the conflict, he actually became the emperor, which made him even more uneasy, when he was in the palace, he discussed with Ren Siqian and Luo Pai about usurping power when he had not succeeded to the throne, but these two people did not dare to agree, and he did not insist anymore, and these two people still have this attitude in today's discussion, which makes it more difficult for him to decide.

After listening to the words of the patriarch, Wu Jingguo turned his eyes to Master Li again, and Master Li's eyes flickered and said that the pros and cons of the two compartments had not been weighed clearly, and he did not dare to speak nonsense. Wu Jingguo waved his hand, and everyone withdrew from the hall.
