Chapter 426: One Breath and One Branch
Above the mansion of the high priest of Bimu Village, Lan Li and Yu Ersheng were drinking tea and discussing the marriage of Lan Ting and You Yu, and the entourage ran in and said, "Lord Priest, Mr. Deng is back, and he is waiting in the side hall at the moment."
Lan Li nodded and said to Yu Ersheng, "Brother You, I'll leave for a while, and then continue to discuss the marriage between Ting'er and Xiaoyu."
Yursheng arched his hand "not in a hurry, there is a rush in advance"
Lan Li walked outside and asked in a low voice, "What happened, why can't you speak in front of the hall?"
The attendant whispered, "This is a big matter, Mr. Deng said that he must say it to the high priest in person."
In the side hall, Mr. Deng was closing his eyes and waiting for Lan Li's arrival.
"Mr. Deng, but what's wrong with that group of Han people?" Lan Li's first sentence when he came in was to ask.
"High Priest, as you said, is the Han Lu Shaoyuan in the mouth of the eldest lady, and what is even more tricky is that it seems that the imperial court has taken action and sent someone to mediate," Mr. Deng said.
Lan Li took a step back, "What, the imperial court reacted so quickly, did he make any requests?"
Mr. Deng shook his head, "This is not true, but he took the initiative to ask His Excellency the High Priest to the inn to discuss."
Lan Li touched his chin, "Take the initiative to ask me, sir, how are their martial arts?"
"Extremely high, in front of him is like a lonely boat in the sea, it may be capsized by him at any time, the old man took eighteen people, he sensed it at once" Mr. Deng said cautiously, as if reminding Lan Li not to think anything wrong about these people?
Lan Li said with a slight disappointment in his tone, "So, how does Mr. Deng think we should act? If he really comes to mediate, we can't stop here, right?"
Mr. Deng paused, "The first step is to delay, the high priest will drag this secret history master as much as possible, and then we will immediately dispatch troops to continue to fight for territory in the north, it is best to mobilize all Jiuzhai, mobilize their troops as much as possible, and occupy as many places as possible before the end of the peace talks, so as to promote the talks and grasp the initiative, this is the best policy." The middle strategy is to unite the high priest of Jiuzhai and the master of the secret history to make peace, and fight with its wheels, killing its time and patience, and we suspend the land we have given and turn to digest it for ourselves. The next strategy is to hide from all the major high priests, negotiate with them alone, exchange the alliance Jiuzhai for the interests of our Bimu Village, weaken the other Jiuzhai with the power of the imperial court, let Jiuzhai exist in name only, and we will vote for the imperial court again, on the condition that our Bimu Village will be the head of Miao Jiang from now on."
Lan Li frowned, "Mr. Deng has three plans, although the plan is fast, but it is very likely to be lively in the court, so tearing the skin, the gains outweigh the losses, and if Jiuzhai is not single-minded, casually exposed or delayed, it is very likely that the catastrophe will not be recovered, if one of the villages wants to be the master of this Miao Jiang, I am afraid that we will make wedding dresses for others." The middle strategy is too slow, we have given the land at this moment, if we go back on our word at the moment, we are only afraid of the Jiuzhai Alliance, and there will be chaos before the war. ”
Mr. Deng's cold light flashed, "What does the implication mean, the high priest is the one who takes the next step?"
Lan Li frowned and patted Mr. Deng on the shoulder, "Mr. Deng, the imperial court is staring at it right now, it's better for us to keep a low profile, now I'll go and inform the two high priests of Yuan Ye and Cuifeng, with our current strength, I'm afraid that the implementation of the next policy is not strong enough, and I also ask Old Mr. Deng to think of a way according to the next policy."
Mr. Deng bowed his hand, "The old man obeys the order, then tomorrow at noon, I will ask the high priest to go to the inn in the village under the village on time."
Suddenly, there was a noisy voice outside, "High Priest, Changlin, Cangzhu, Jinshi, Yinqing, Yihua, and Yixuan The six high priests said that they wanted to petition, and it seems that something happened. ”
Lan Li frowned, and said to Mr. Deng, "Please come with me to see what's going on, didn't these people get the land, why don't they leave?"
Mr. Deng frowned and said, "This time, I'm afraid it's not good."
In the hall, the six high priests sat in separate seats, and Lan Li came with the remaining two priests, and said with his hands, "Brothers, but what happened?
The high priest of Yinqing asked, "High priest Bimu, are we in Miaojiang Jiuzhai the same breath?"
Lan Li nodded affirmatively, "Sure"
The high priest of Yinqing then said, "Then if my Miao brothers are bullied in Miao Jiang, should they advance and retreat together?"
Lan Li also nodded and said, "This is the land of Miao Jiang, no matter who comes in, it should be a local custom."
Although the high priest of Yinqing did not draw an answer from here that he wanted to hear, he also said, "Okay, since this is the case, right now, the young village masters of Yinqing, Yihua, and Yixuan Sanzhai are all caught within the strength of your Bimu Village, and the high priest of Bimu Village, as the high priest of Bimu Village, and the high priest of the Jiuzhai Alliance, do you want to stand up for us?"
Lan Li's face changed, it turned out that these people came here for this purpose, but in fact, it was their own affairs, so he agreed, "Brother, tell me where they are, I will make decisions with you on this matter"
The high priest of Yinqing clapped his hands, and a group of subordinates had already run out and said, "The high priest of Bimu is above, and now the three princes are imprisoned in the inn by those murderers, and they are outnumbered, and we can't beat them."
As soon as Lan Li heard the inn, he glanced at Mr. Deng, "In the inn?"
The high priest of Yinqing saw the change in Lan Li's face, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Without further ado, let's set off as soon as possible, lest those gangsters leave."
Lan Li stopped them, "It's not a problem for you to go, but please bring your strongest men."
As soon as the High Priest of the Plains heard this, he instantly knew that the situation was wrong, and said to the entourage behind him, "Go down and be prepared"
The High Priest of Yinqing was puzzled, "High Priest Bimu, are you hiding something from us?"
Lan Li shook his head, "I didn't plan to hide it, but I suddenly let everyone know the result in advance, I told everyone here, those 'murderers' in the inn are not ordinary people, or officials of the imperial court, and their martial arts are extremely high, I have already sent Mr. Deng to ask one or two, presumably the three sons have done something great, say, what good things have your sons done? Let you leave your sons alone, don't say that your sons are moving forward bravely, no one will believe this kind of!"
For a while, the eyes of the high priests of the remaining three villages were all focused on Yinqing, Yihua, and Yixuan, and the high priests of Yixuan Sanzhai "I listened to your complaints, but I forgot to ask you the reason for the matter, do you have something to hide from us?"
The three high priests of Yinqing, Yihua, and Yixuan looked at each other for a while, left and right.
Lan Li waved his hand, "You, let's say, you are the entourage who went out with them, it's up to you to let us know what is going on, so that we know how to save people!"
