Xuzhou Yudu, the residence of the great minister of the country. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The failure of this plan is really a big loss for us! Years of painstaking management were almost ruined, and there were many casualties. Shi Long shook his head and sighed, looking at the two people in front of him. The two were one old and one young, the younger one was in his twenties, wearing a blue robe, and it was Li Zilong. The old man, wearing a moon-white robe, with a thin and cold face, is in his sixties, and is the famous minister of the Yu Kingdom.
At this time, the three of them gathered to discuss with the prime minister, and there was no fourth person in the airtight house.
Li Zilong was also embarrassed for a while, and after a while, he said abruptly: "Alas, this is also a matter of no way, I wanted to fight on both sides, on the one hand, I launched an uprising in Jingxiang to establish a base camp, and on the other hand, assassinated the emperor and caused chaos in the world. ”
Shi Long said: "After all, it is difficult to sing alone, if you want to rely on 100,000 displaced people alone, it will definitely be difficult to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Li Zilong bowed his head, and with his previous experience of going deep into the palace to assassinate, he could deeply feel the strength of this empire. Now he was at a loss, looked at the two of them and asked, "What should we do next?"
Shi Long stopped talking, obviously he didn't know, and looked directly at the great minister of the kingdom, Wu Libu, who had never said a word.
"What's going on over there?" However, the Urib did not answer Li Zilong's question, but only asked in a deep voice.
Shi Long said: "I don't know! Before Liu Tong launched an uprising, the Lord left Jingxiang. Indeed, I do not know where it is at this moment. You also know that the Lord has always seen the dragon without seeing the end, and he does not like anyone to inquire about his whereabouts. He looked at Li Zilong, and there seemed to be doubt in his eyes.
Li Zilong also shook his head and said: "When I entered Beijing, I saw the Lord in the suburbs of Beijing last time, he ordered me to flee south if the assassination failed, and said that someone would answer the CD, and sure enough, when I was in danger, I met dozens of martial arts masters to help, and I also met General Shi." ”
Shi Long said in surprise: "That's what the Lord ordered you? He also told me, saying that if the uprising failed, let me flee to CD, saying that someone would answer it, and sure enough, I just arrived outside CD City and received a message asking me to go to the East City Gate to help you." ”
Li Zilong said with admiration: "How can the news of the Lord be so well-informed?"
Urib smiled lightly and said, "It's not that it's not that it's well-informed, but that everything is in the Lord's calculations. ”
Shi Long said suspiciously: "How can this be calculated, does the Lord know that we will fail?"
Wu Libu slowly lifted the tea on the table, took a sip, and said slowly: "Liu Tong is brave and unscrupulous, how can he succeed if he leads the uprising." And the defense in the palace has always been extremely rigorous, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are not vegetarians, not to mention that there is a Wang Zhi by the emperor's side, and with this person on his side, it is impossible to get it easily. ”
Shi Long nodded approvingly, and Li Zilong immediately added: "That's true, let's not talk about Liu Tong's uprising, as far as my experience of entering the palace and assassinating is concerned, I deeply feel the power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, as you said, don't look at that Wang Zhi, this person is young, but his martial arts are extremely high, if he hadn't suddenly appeared that day, Zhu Jianshen would have died under my sword." After that, he gritted his teeth, slapped his palm on the case, and continued: "My assassination failure is precisely because of him, and if this person falls into my hands one day, I will have to skin him and cramp him to vent the hatred in my heart!"
Wuli said: "Childe doesn't need to be angry, it is not easy for you to escape from the palace and get rid of the pursuit of Jinyiwei and Dongchang." Wang Zhi or Zhu Jianshen, sooner or later, I will wait for the soul of the sword, hahaha, hahahaha!"
The Urib burst into a wild laugh, the laughter was sinister and terrifying, but it seemed to be full of confidence.
"Sir, you are the most relied on by the Lord, what do you think we should do next?" Shi Long saw that Wu Libu did not answer Li Zilong's previous question, and asked again.
Ulri preached: "The man who received you in CD City was arranged by the Lord, and the Lord has already shown it, so what's next, hum!"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Libu had already stood up, Li Zilong and Shi Long were still looking at him intently, and slowly heard Wu Libu say calmly: "Fan the wind and ignite the fire, take advantage of the situation!"
Yudu, Yuwang Palace Jinzhi Village.
"Princess, princess is not good, princess is not good......" A woman who looked like a maid hurriedly ran in, looking at her panicked, as if something was wrong.
"Oh, what's the name of the shouting, this princess is fine, what's wrong!" said Axue'er, the princess of the Yu Kingdom, with the tea she was about to drink in her hand, and said resentfully.
The maid said again: "No, the princess is not good, the big thing is not good." ”
Axue handed the tea to her lips and said unhurriedly: "What's wrong, don't worry, say it slowly." ”
The maid said, "Princess, that ...... The ugly bastard is back. ”
"Poof...... Ahem...... What? What are you talking about?" Hearing the news, it was like thunder on a sunny day, and Axue spewed out the tea she had just drunk in her mouth, choked twice, and said in surprise.
The maid repeated again, "That ugly monster is back!"
Acher still questioned and said, "Really?
The maid nodded deeply and said, "It's true!"
Anger immediately appeared on Axue'er's beautiful face, she set the teacup on the table fiercely, and said, "This ugly monster is really haunted. ”
With that, she stood up angrily and asked, "Where is he now?"
The maid said: "Listen to the virtuous village in the deliberations of His Majesty the Barbarian King!"
Axue was about to walk out when she lifted her footsteps, but the maid hurriedly ran forward and said, "The princess can't go now, the barbarian king is listening to the discussion of Xianzhai with them!"
Axue said with a resentful face: "What is there to discuss with him?"
The maid said, "Not only is he alone, he came back this time and brought back two people." His Majesty the Barbarian King is receiving them at this moment, as well as the Great Minister. ”
Axue said curiously: "He brought back two people, what kind of people are they?"
The maid said: "It's a young man and a middle-aged man, that boy looks more thorough, that big man, it's a bald head, full of fierce faces, and it's not a good person at first glance." ”
Axue said hatefully: "Hmph, things gather by like, and people are divided by groups." And only people like him make friends with people like that. ”
Acher looked at the maid, stared at her again, and asked, "Did you hear what they said?"
The maid looked out, as if she was extra cautious, making sure that there was no one outside, so she said cautiously and very worriedly: "The slave maid heard them from passing by outside Tingxian Village that they seemed to say that Dongchang and Jinyiwei were coming to us to exterminate the Five Netherworlds. ”
Ah Xue'er said in disbelief: "What? Dongchang and Jinyiwei are coming to exterminate the Five Netherworld Sects?"
The maid bowed her head and said: "Well, I heard what the bald man said, and the young man also said that he failed to assassinate the emperor, and finally escaped." ”
Acher's face was full of surprise, only to hear her ask again, "What else? What else did you hear?"
The maid shook her head and said, "I just passed by from somewhere, and I didn't dare to stop longer, so I probably heard this." ”
A Xue'er's face immediately had a layer of anger, she gritted her teeth and looked at the maid and said, "This ugly bastard, I know that he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it will be no good when he comes back." Do you know who she brought with her? It was a court criminal who dared to assassinate the Emperor of the Celestial Empire. ”
The maid said worriedly, "Ah, what should we do? They won't affect our servants, right?"
Axue Er pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "I'm not worried about whether they will affect our servant country, I believe that my father has his own judgment." What I'm most worried about now is Master, you said that now Dongchang and Jinyiwei are going to exterminate them, what should they do? With the strength of the Netherworld Five Sects, they are by no means the opponents of Dongchang and Jinyiwei who are powerful in the world!"
The maid said: "Aren't the masters of the Five Sects on good terms with our barbarian kings?
Axue'er frowned and said, "Things are not as simple as you think, we are the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, how dare we blatantly oppose the Ming Dynasty." What's more, assassinating the emperor is not a trivial matter, this is a major matter that offends Tianwei, and no one who is an emperor will give up. ”
She thought for a while, as if she still had doubts, and said: "It's just that I don't understand, what does that person's assassination of the emperor have to do with our Netherworld Five Sects, why does the imperial court want to come to exterminate us?"
The maid just shook her head, obviously unable to imagine what was going on in her mind.
Axue seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, did you hear that young man, what is his name?"
The maid groaned for a moment, scratched her head, and then remembered after a while: "Oh, I heard that big man call him Brother Zilong, and the barbarian king calls him Li Gongzi, then he should be called Li Zilong." ”
Axue said: "What? Li Zilong? Isn't that my senior brother?"
The maid said: "That's it, that ugly monster must have come to seek refuge when he brought your senior brother and them back." ”
Ah Xue'er finally understood that it was his senior brother Li Zilong, who had betrayed his master, who had assassinated the emperor, and it was obvious that she already knew the reason why Dongchang and Jinyiwei wanted to exterminate the Five Netherworlds. But then, her face was full of confusion, because she didn't know what to do, she didn't know how to save the Netherworld Five Sects.
Helpless, Axue stomped her foot fiercely, and she wanted to trample someone to death at once.
"Hmph, it's all to blame on that ugly bastard, if he hadn't brought my senior brother back, where would so many things have happened, I hate him, hate him to death!"
Obviously, the person she wanted to trample to death was Yunxiao!
