Chapter 53 The Calculations of the Parties
In the letter, Huangfu only mentioned that Murong Xihua had stayed in the Uighurs to recuperate, but did not reveal the truth. After all, the matter of the soul refining puppet was too appalling, and Huangfu naturally didn't want her to be frightened. It's just that the more you try to hide it, the more sudden it will be.
A few days ago, the main altar of Lingyan Pavilion was attacked by a mysterious woman, and only two of the thirteen masters left behind survived, and this portrait on the table is the description of this mysterious woman by those two people. What made her toss and turn like this was that this woman was none other than the Tianxiang Goddess who had been refined into a bloody goddess. Probably because of the puppet, the appearance of the goddess of Tianxiang is exactly the same as in her memory, the only difference is that the mysterious woman now has more hair.
It is rumored that those with advanced skills can turn gray hair to black, and this Tianxiang goddess has not only had a trace of wisdom since the last time her skills have advanced, but also a green silk has been born on her brain.
"No matter who that person is, he has a lot of connections with the master!" Dian Jing muttered, at this critical juncture, he naturally missed the emperor of Dali even more, and had already made up his mind to go to Dali, one to talk about lovesickness, and the other to explain this matter clearly.
Huangfu Yan naturally didn't know about the Tianxiang Goddess, and at this time, he was looking at Mu Wanqing who was following him with an embarrassed expression. Outside the house were Zhong Ling and Duan Yu who were chattering, telling something in surprise.
Less than a cup of tea after everyone left the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, they saw Zhong Ling riding a black rose and chasing after them. Duan Yu, who felt sorry for himself, was naturally overjoyed, and the two of them did not settle down on the side of Hongye Zhai that had been coming.
Mu Wanqing was quiet, holding the emperor along the way, people who didn't know the truth thought she was a quiet little woman, but they didn't know that this girl was a ruthless character who killed decisively. Although Huang Fu Yan does not reject beautiful women who like him, when he thinks of this temperament, he is a little uncertain, for fear that he will be uneasy in the backyard in the future. He had never thought that with the strength of his current confidantes, this backyard never seemed to be very stable. It's just that those people from all over the world have never gotten together, which has maintained peace on the surface.
Mu Wanqing followed the other party into the house and secretly regretted not falling, she was a little groggy along the way, full of warmth and affection, and only the man in front of her was left in her eyes. After reacting, the dough is hot. Seeing that the emperor was wandering outside the world, he secretly scolded the wooden nerd, and said, "Would you like to accompany me to see the moonlight?"
"Yes, yes, the moon is really round today!" Huang Fu woke up and patted his head and said.
Mu Wanqing had a black line on her head and looked at the waning moon outside the window.
Huangfu Yan stood up, extinguished the light with one palm, picked up a cloak at the head of the bed, and put it on Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing's heart was warm, although the night was cool, it was not worth mentioning for people like them, but the other party's subconscious actions made her quite fond of it. Brushed a lock of hair hanging down on his forehead and said, "
Brother Huangfu ......"
"Well......" Huangfu was moved by the momentary act that he had not yet realized.
"It's fine!" Mu Wanqing is not good at expressing herself after all.
The two of them sat on the roof, the moonlight was like frost, sprinkled on the ground, insects chirping, and the night wind swept from the valley. The dew wets the shoes, and with the refreshing coolness, it is really a quiet night, a gentle night......
The stars are shining, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and there is silence in front of you.
Mu Wan's clear flowing waves were projected on Huangfu's face, and deep affection shot out of his eyes.
Huangfu took a sip of night incense, facing this elf-like woman, he really didn't want to hurt the other party, and finally mentioned the situation in his own family, so that the other party could retreat.
Mu Wanqing shook her head: "I've always thought that half-hearted men are not a good thing......"
Huangfu Yan smiled embarrassedly, and the other party said: "But there are some things that can't be explained clearly, although I have long guessed that a character like Huangfu's eldest brother must be admired by many women, but I still can't help but fall into it......"
Huangfu opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak.
Mu Wanqing slowly sat down beside Huangfu Yan and said softly: "I don't blame you, as long as you are with me in the future, I never knew that I would be so concerned about this person, regardless of everything, regardless of any face." ”
Huang Fu thought for a moment and said, "I prefer that carefree female knight!"
Mu Wanqing said: "But that Mu girl, she can only see you in her dreams, she lives too pitiful......"
Huangfu Yan was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but look at her with wide eyes. The girl has lost the youthfulness of the year, and the long eyelashes cover her eyes, making her eyes as hazy as hazy, and the cold and arrogant in her impression is covered with another layer of pitiful fog. Looking at her, he suddenly wanted to take her into his arms and hug her.
Mu Wanqing seemed to understand what he meant, and leaned over softly. Riding the dust suddenly, the playful woman who stayed in my heart back then was like a flower blooming in the rain, which was overwhelming.
Under the ghostly errand, the emperor took a sip of incense from the other party, making Mu Wanqing's face flushed, her eyes fluttered for a while, but her body was reluctant to leave the other party at all.
Huangfu was stunned, but when he saw that the other party gave him a blank look, he pretended to be calm and pointed to the other pair in the pavilion below and said, "Zhong Ling, this girl was deceived by Duan Mutou......
"Uh......" Huangfu Yan looked strange, "Lovers will eventually become brothers and sisters!"
"What do you mean?" Mu Wan said in surprise.
"Didn't your master mention your parents to you?"
"My parents?"
"Yes, as far as I know, your parents are still alive!" Huang Fu decided to give her a preventive shot first, so that she would not be able to stand the stimulation at that time.
"How do you know, my master said that I picked it up in the wild...... Mu Wanqing naturally didn't believe it, and said her master's words again, and said: "Brother Huangfu, you don't have to comfort me, I'm used to it!"
"Okay, but if you meet your biological parents, you don't have to be surprised, everything has me!"
"Hmm!" Mu Wanqing smiled, leaning on the happiness on his face.
......
Outside the Yanmen Pass, the cliff is inserted into the sky, and the yin wind roars, echoing endlessly.
Two figures shot up, and they jumped up a deep depression of a boulder, and rested for a while.
"Brother Zhou thinks that with the military strength of this Yanmen Pass, if the Liao people call, how long can we hold out?" Fang La's eyes were shining, and he sighed.
The person opposite is an extremely burly man, who has been mixed under Huang Shang for a period of time, surnamed Zhou Mingtong, is a civil and military all-rounder, and Wang Yin is a classmate, both are poor Xiucai who fell into Sun Mountain, but he joined Manichaeism, and the other abandoned literature and martial arts and entered the military camp.
Three years ago, because of the Huang Shang to deal with the Huangfu eunuchs and was hated by the eunuchs, has not been able to achieve the will, until last year, was framed, was imprisoned, came out completely disheartened, traveled to the west of Zhejiang when met Wang Yin, and then strengthened Fang La.
Fang La's ability to recognize people is extremely clever, and he knows that the other party has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, so he came down and tried his best to pull into his camp. It's just that the other party is a person with high morals, and the word "rebellion" is not daring to speak. This time, he dragged the other party to this side of the frontier, just to prove the corruption of this court, so as to pave the way for his rebellion and pull this person into the gang.
Zhou Tong sighed, the morale of the army on the border was sluggish, the command was cruel and cruel, and the people's grievances were boiling, if the other party called, I was afraid that they would not be able to hold out even a day. His mind is extremely high, he couldn't guess Fang La's intentions, he never left, and he also wanted to persuade the other party to give up that idea, but now he didn't know how to speak.
Fang La sneered in his heart and continued: "I heard that the Liao people are fighting with the Jurchens in the north, judging from Brother Zhou, how are the Jurchens compared to the Liao?"
The war in the north has been going on for several years, how can he not know, "The Liao people are used to being comfortable and happy, but they are afraid that they are not as cruel as the other party!"
"If my Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens join forces to destroy the Great Liao, what do you think?" Fang La said meaningfully.
"This, this is seeking skin with the tiger!" Zhou Tong's face turned red, and he could see at a glance that this move was inappropriate.
Fang La shook his head: "But the imperial court is already planning to do this!"
"What?" Zhou Tong's face changed, "Isn't there anyone in the court who understands?"
"That's not clear, but judging from the news I got from Shandong, it won't be long before the imperial court and the Jurchens will form an alliance at sea!"
For a while, both of them were full of worries, and although they had been on the third shift, they didn't feel sleepy.
Zhou Tong muttered: "Empress Dowager Gao is afraid that she won't live long, and she wants to live and leave a name in history, but this name is only afraid that it will be infamous through the ages." The land of the Central Plains is like this Yanmen Pass, and if there is a great hero who can reinvigorate the morale of the army, it is also feasible to join forces with the Jurchens to subdue the northern land, but it is a pity that ......"
Fang La knew what the other party was sorry for, and asked him to come and see, this official in the court was nine times out of ten greedy, and the rest was still an incompetent and mediocre person, and immediately said: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been a hero!"
Zhou Tong was unconvinced and said: "Emperor Taizu Wude of this dynasty, both civil and military, all the way with long fists, a coiling dragon stick, invincible in the world, isn't he a big hero?"
After hearing this, Fang La shook his head and said with disdain: "Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts strategy is indeed good, but he forced Happy Zhou to die because it was unkind; it was unjust to kill Zheng Ziming; and it was unwise to release military power with a glass of wine." Let me ask, how can such an unkind, unjust, and unwise person be worthy of the word 'great hero'?"
Zhou Tong pondered for a moment and replied: "During the Renzong period, the Yang family was full of loyal martyrs and resisted the invasion of the Liao, this can be regarded as a great hero, right?"
Fang La nodded and said: "The Yang family is indeed full of loyalty, but he is loyal to the imperial court, Pan Renmei and others have repeatedly used this to cause harm, and the resistance to Liao has failed several times, and it is difficult to escape the blame." ”
Zhou Tong said angrily: "Could it be that you Fang Thirteen is the first hero of the Great Song Dynasty, don't you know that the righteous army is together, the Central Plains will be chaotic, and the Khitan, Jurchen, Western Xia, Tubo, and Dali will swarm up, isn't it another chaos of five nonsense?"
Fang La shook his head and said: "Otherwise, the fortunes of the Tibetan country are in decline, remote and remote; the Jurchens have not yet been civilized, but they are only brave for a while; Dali is reluctant to steal peace and does not like swordsmen; and the Liao people enjoy peace and enjoy themselves, and they are too busy to take care of themselves...... However, there are indeed people who can be called big heroes right now, but they are not Fang!"
"Who is it?"
"A true hero and hero, the upper should be worthy of the sky, the lower should be worthy of the people, put on the liver and gall, save the people from the dire situation, be happy with the enmity, and achieve a great cause, if Brother Zhou can let go of the prejudice in his heart, he should be the first hero!" Fang La said with a smile.
This sycophant beat so loudly that even Zhou Tong turned red, didn't continue to refute, and didn't pay attention to him for a while.
Fang La's eyes were burning, and he couldn't wait for the other party to bow down, his great career could be expected!
Dali is very important to the Buddha, and the children of the Duan family in the past generations do have a taste of reluctance and stealing peace, but today's Dali is not a hall of the Duan family, the world is stormy, but anyone who is a little ambitious will not be content with peace.
Diancang Mountain, the people of the Diancang faction had just repaired their injuries and gathered together to discuss how to get a piece of the pie in this catastrophe in the world.
"What do you think about the Tibetan matter?" said Gao Shengtai with a smile.
Fan Hua shook his head, among the three princes, Sima Fan Hua is a member of the Gao family, Hua Hegen is the oldest, he was Duan Yanqing's father's right-hand man in his early years, and now he is considered a centrist, and he is not very close to these two parties, of course, the things on the surface are quite so-so. The entire Dali court is harmonious.
The Diancang faction and others are even more happy to see it, the foundation of Tianlong Temple is too deep, and there are any unexpected masters in it, no one knows, Gu Mozhi volunteered to try, which naturally made everyone happy.
"Then the matter is settled, tomorrow I will go to the palace to lie down, hoping that Gu Mozhi can try something!"
Almost at the same time, the two brothers were also talking about tomorrow's trip to Tenryu Temple.
Tubo is indeed in decline, but it is not as unbearable as Fang La imagined, especially the folk customs of Tubo, almost everyone practices martial arts, and the combat strength of the army has never been a problem. With the position of the Tantric Living Buddha falling into the Great Snow Mountain, the Tibetan tribes also slowly reunited their hearts under the strategy of Gu Mozhi, and began to gather together and wait for the end.
The alliance with Dali was only to reduce worries, and the next target was the Uighurs. The Tibetans were interested in the Song land sandwiched between the Tibetans and the Western Xia, which was tantamount to a tiger's mouth for the Western Xia, so persuading the Uighurs to join forces to attack the Xia was the highlight of the rise of the Tibetans.
Different from the complacent ambition of their own forces, the Duan clan in Dali is peaceful, at least in their opinion, the most worrying thing at this juncture is how to rescue the only seedling of the Duan family in Dali - Duan Yu.
In Zhennan Palace, Duan Zhengchun looked at the two rooms in the south and the north with a wry smile, and was distressed by the personal affairs of his children, no matter how he looked at it, it was too far behind the ambitious Gao Shengtai.
In the room to the north, Qin Hongmian was worried, and she couldn't turn her face to Duan Zhengchun until she had to, but she learned her daughter's whereabouts from Gan Baobao, so she couldn't care much anymore. When she left the Gusu Wang's house, she looked at the events of that year, which is why she didn't mention her biological father to Mu Wanqing. (To be continued.) )
