127. Conspiracy
The same night that Tang Ling left Luoyang.
The Three Towns Festival made An Lushan and his deputy general Shi Siming and the main section of Qixiabao Fort ring the mountain, these characters who were enough to change the color of the Tang Dynasty were gathering in a post station outside the city at this moment, each with different shades of gloom on their faces, as if they were in a brief blank in the focus of discussion.
As the central figure of this gathering, An Lushan was holding a note in his hand, which recorded what happened in Luoyang today: "The King of Wind and Cloud left Luoyang today on a ship that can sail in the clouds. ”
His face remained gloomy, and An Lushan glanced at the note in his hand again before handing it to Shi Siming. Shi Siming took it, read it carefully, and put it in front of Duan Huanshan.
Different from An Lushan and Shi Siming's pure silence, Duan Huanshan was the one who still had superfluous movements in the audience, but his movements seemed too monotonous in the eyes of the other two - just dipping his fingers in a little tea, and instead of thick ink, he wrote one name after another on the table next to him: Fengyun King, Lu Guogong, Yang Guozhong, Li Heng, Blood Sea, Underworld, Qixia Castle......
Each of these names occupies a place on the table, like a case study map. And because it was the reason for the description of the tea, the handwriting gradually dried with the wind before it took long, but Duan Huanshan was not angry, and continued to dip his fingers in the tea and write the same name. This action is repeated all the time, as if it is a pleasure. Moreover, this monotonous action seemed to occupy most of his energy, making him ignore the note that Shi Siming put in front of him.
I don't know how long it took, An Lushan coughed, interrupting the silence present: "The wedding of the King of Wind and Cloud, we have all arrived, and the depth of the heritage it shows is also visible to all." Now the old man wants to hear your opinion. ”
Compared with the wedding banquet that day, An Lushan at this time showed a completely different momentum. Retracting his kind smile, he sat in his place, with a pair of tiger eyes that were not angry and self-imposing, quite a bit of a hero's demeanor that was enough to win the world.
As a deputy general, Shi Siming is not good at being silent, and as soon as An Lushan's words fell, he had already spoken: "King Fengyun's recent move, although it is called a big wedding on the surface, but from the perspective of the last general, it is more like showing his status in this mundane world and making a position. All the details have shown that his relationship with the sea of blood is far closer than I have ever expected. And looking at the guests who came to congratulate that day, none of the four clans of gods, demons, fairies and demons were left behind, and the masters of the two clans of gods and demons were even more profound. The last general boldly speculated that the King of Wind and Cloud was trying to use the Great Wedding to give us a hint: if they wanted to deal with the sea of blood, they would inevitably be besieged from many sides, and once that time came, even the imperial court might not be able to interfere with their actions. ”
"The four clans of gods, demons, fairies and demons congratulated at the same time, and the auspicious end of the six great rui beasts was revealed...... The Wind and Cloud King's status in this heaven and earth is beyond the reach of mortals like us to cling to or provoke, and Huanshan also suggested that all plans against the Sea of Blood in the near future need to be stopped, so as not to attract burning anger. Duan Huanshan's movements did not stop, but he also showed his identification with Shi Siming.
The words of the two powerful subordinates made An Lushan's eyebrows twitch, but recalling the scene of that day, he had to admit the persuasiveness of these words: "But if we don't eradicate the sea of blood, our plan will be full of obstacles......"
Duan Huanshan immediately said: "In terms of the blood sea, we can fake it to others, for example, on the day of the wedding banquet, Yang Guozhong's opinions on the blood sea have a considerable extent, maybe we can start from here?"
Shi Siming also responded: "Yang Guozhong, the prime minister who ascended to the throne by nepotism, has a unique ability to be jealous and compete for favor, if he can lead the disaster to the east and provoke the war between the sea of blood and the underworld, it may remove a lot of pressure for our plan." ”
"General Shi and Lord Duan Bao's words, Lord Jin also agreed. ”
Just as An Lushan was silent, a somewhat weak voice came, and I saw Zhang Jin slowly walking into the post station, judging from his somewhat floating footsteps, it was obvious that he was seriously injured and had not healed.
"Mr. Jin. An Lushan obviously didn't have much affection for Lord Zhang Jin, and when he saw him appear, even his voice became much colder, "A few days ago, you promised the old man that you could eradicate all the forces of the Fengyun King and the sea of blood in Luoyang, but to this day, Luoyang is still calm, I hope you can give an explanation." ”
An Lushan asked, and Lord Zhang Jin did not evade it, but before he opened his mouth to answer, he coughed a few times: "Please also ask the governor to calm his anger, Lord Jin came today to ask for guilt for this matter." ”
An Lushan's eyelids twitched: "What's the matter? Could it be that Mr. Jin's 'reinforcements' couldn't attend the meeting because of something?"
"No, they did arrive in Luoyang within the agreed time. Zhang Jinzhu's face became more and more pale, "But that night, unfortunately ambushed, and now the whole army has been wiped out." ”
"What?"
One sentence of speech caused the shock of the three people present, and Duan Huanshan's eyes were even more stunned, and he was stunned: "Two thousand Heng clans, the whole army was wiped out silently?"
Zhang Jin was silent, just nodded lightly, and admitted this fact again.
In the station, silence enveloped the three mortals present for a while.
The Heng clan is capable, they all know it, and now that they have suddenly failed, it is obvious that they have nothing to do with the Fengyun King, but since the other party has shown such strength, how should they deal with it?
Seeing that An Lushan and the others fell silent, Zhang Jin didn't speak, but slowly walked to the side and sat down, secretly breathing.
This action caught Duan Huanshan's eyes, making him a little more surprised: "Mr. Jin, are you injured?"
"The old ones are not healed, and new injuries are just added. After this battle, the Heng clan will not be able to help us anytime soon, so Lord Jin has only used a small trick to bring in a more loyal ally. Lord Zhang Jin grinned, "Lord Duanbao, when we go to the underworld tomorrow, we should have unexpected gains." ”
"You mean ......"
Lord Zhang Jin didn't reply positively, but said: "Qin Wuxi in the underworld is always undecided, I let him abdicate and let Xian take charge, and change to a more decisive person to take charge." ”
"The two thousand Heng clan can't help the King of Wind and Cloud, what can they do in the underworld?" An Lushan expressed puzzlement at Zhang Jin's approach.
"A wild wolf with a good appearance, and a family dog that advances and retreats together, I believe you will all make a wise choice. Lord Zhang Jin smiled, "What's more, under the hands of Lord Jin, this family dog can definitely become an eclipse tengu?"
An Lushan heard Lord Zhang Jin's sworn words, and he no longer said anything to ridicule: "Mr. Lord Jin, I hope you can indeed train a Sun Eclipse Heavenly Dog for us, don't disappoint me again." ”
Lord Zhang Jin smiled: "Of course, even if Lord Jin is broken, he must also help adults achieve great things." ”
"It's not necessary to break your bones, Mr. Jin is not a person who covets glory and wealth, we are just using each other, if the momentum is not right, it is reasonable to betray each other. An Lushan was not very impressed by Lord Zhang Jin's compliment, "There is news from the front, Gao Xianzhi and the black-clothed Dashi are about to fight, Mr. Jin Lord should leave as soon as possible to realize your plan." ”
"That's nature. Zhang Jin was still smiling, and he was full of bamboo.
