It would be great if Gu Qingyan could find a good way, not to attack forcefully but to outsmart him.
For Chu Yan, he could not only pay the emperor's job, but also avoid being accused of being a coward and incompetent, let alone forcefully attack and severely damage his vitality. What's more, he couldn't bear to have so many people on Wufeng Mountain attack him.
Kill and blood will flow like a river.
The old Nanyang King immediately pricked up his ears and said, "Your Majesty is really confused. How can you capture Wufeng Mountain without giving you a single soldier? I also understand that Wufeng Mountain is very difficult to attack without ten thousand or eight thousand soldiers and horses."
Unless you outwit them. Huai'an, do you have any good ways to outwit them? I just want to listen."
The old King of Nanyang has been thinking about it all afternoon. He still doesn't know much about Wufeng Mountain. He doesn't know much about the Taoist sect. If he were in Nanyang City, he could command thousands of troops, but it's not far from the capital here.
Wufeng Mountain is far away, and I really can’t think of any good way to avoid injuring one soldier.
Gu Qingyan said warmly, "There is no need to go to many people. Ning'er and I will accompany His Highness Seventh Prince to Wufeng Mountain to negotiate a deal with the people in Wufeng Mountain. Maybe this matter will be solved."
"Huh?" Old Nanyang King was stunned, "You and Ning'er are accompanying Xiaoqi to Wufeng Mountain? Don't bring too many people with you?"
"It can be said that I don't take anyone with me, not even the guards, just the three of us." Gu Qingyan explained.
"Is this... possible? How to negotiate a deal?" Old Nanyang King was puzzled. Is there any deal to be negotiated with the Taoist priests of Wufeng Mountain?
Gu Qingyan smiled, "The little princess openly rebelled against Your Majesty. Everyone in the world knows that Wufeng Mountain is not separated from the world, so naturally it is well known. But I took action against the Imperial Guards on the day of the palace banquet, and I never went to court again."
, but went to Nanyang with the little princess. It is also known to the whole world that Ning'er is the only true bloodline of the Nanyang Palace and is not known to the world. The little princess's identity and reputation are in front, as well as mine and Ning'er's.
With our status behind us, and with His Highness the Seventh Prince as the legitimate prince, the three of us are enough to negotiate a deal with people from Wufeng Mountain."
Chu Yan's eyebrows moved, thoughtfully.
"Tell me." Old Nanyang King still doesn't quite understand what these trump cards are used to trade for? An Huajin's identity, Gu Qingyan's identity, the secret of An Yining's life experience, and Chu Yan's identity, so many trump cards, are big enough
What can be done? He looked at Gu Qingyan and guessed, "Is there anything good in Wufeng Mountain?"
"Grandpa An, you are right. There are indeed good things in Wufeng Mountain." Gu Qingyan smiled, "There are countless gold and silver mountains in Wufeng Mountain. Compared with the Jokhang Temple, the ability to make money is ten times greater. Only relying on the Jokhang Temple
The military pay given to them can only meet the needs of the Nanyang Army in the autumn and winter this year. The internal political situation of Dachu is now, even Grandpa An knows what it is like. Nan Qi and Nanliang have been planning for a long time, and now His Majesty is determined to kill them.
The little princess, the monarch and his ministers are in harmony but cannot do it. Your Majesty supports and indulges the king, but the king is flashy and only knows how to scheme, but his ambition is to worry about the world but not to worry. If this continues, the internal affairs will be in chaos, and Nan Qi and Nan Liang will definitely take a look.
Use the right opportunity to raise troops and invade the territory."
King Nanyang nodded.
Gu Qingyan continued, "Since ancient times, what has been the most feared thing in war? First, obsolete weapons, second, weak soldiers and generals, and third, insufficient reserve supply. Therefore, the national treasury is not abundant, and the Nanyang Palace has long been emptied. If we do not seek
With the reserve method, how can we deal with the war between Nanqi and Nanliang one day? Therefore, Wufeng Mountain has the military pay that the Nanyang Army needs."
King Nanyang suddenly realized, "Why is Wufeng Mountain's method of making money so powerful?"
"It has been more than seventy years since Lu Tianshi founded the sect when he was a teenager. A Taoist ceremony can cost a fortune." Gu Qingyan said, "Seventy years is enough for Wufeng Mountain to build five gold mountains."
The old King of Nanyang sighed, "A small sect in the world is rich all over the world, much richer than the Nanyang Palace."
Gu Qingyan smiled, "The Nanyang Prince's Mansion raises a million Nanyang troops. With such a huge number in the world, only the An family can support it. Otherwise, why has no family been able to replace the An family? The Gu family can't do it either. Although the Gu family has many generations of heritage,
But if you use literature to establish scholars, you cannot command a million soldiers and horses. The Southern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasties jointly raised more than a million soldiers. Anjia is unique in the world."
"So, His Majesty both relies on Anjia and is afraid to guard against Anjia. This is also the root cause." Old Nanyang King sighed, "Because of Anjia, Xiao Qi is so unpopular with Your Majesty. It is because Anjia has tired him."
"Grandpa, don't say that. I was born as the legitimate son of my mother. I have been envied by others since I was born. As the grandson of the An family, I was born with a strong backing and was jealous of others. My status and income are not the envy of many people. Some hardships,
It’s nothing.”
"Wufeng Mountain guards the gold and silver mountains. If you don't live, you won't be able to enjoy it. Especially now that His Majesty is furious with thunder. Although Wufeng Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the imperial court really wants to attack, there is nothing that cannot be taken down regardless of the bloodshed.
." Gu Qingyan said warmly, "So, the three of us went to Wufeng Mountain to negotiate the deal. The people in Wufeng Mountain evacuated to Nanyang. The little princess protected everyone in Wufeng Mountain on the condition that half of the gold and silver in Wufeng Mountain would be returned to us.
The Nanyang Army and the Nanyang Prince's Palace have presented their most secret secret as a sign of sincerity, as their most fundamental trust and guarantee for their future standing. And His Highness Seventh Prince and I will make this guarantee in our capacity."
"Half?"
"Yes, half." Gu Qingyan said, "Those who make money love money as much as their lives. Master Lu Tianshi spent his whole life making money. If all of it was given to the Nanyang Army, everyone in Wufeng Mountain would not want to die. Their ancestor
He died in the capital, but his body was missing. Therefore, they hated Your Majesty and killed the imperial guards who were summoned by His Majesty after you passed the decree. If all the money and wealth were handed over to the Nanyang Army, as the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food, they would not let go even if they died.
Agreeing to do this deal is, after all, Lu Tianshi’s lifetime gain. Lu Tianshi’s soul in heaven will probably turn into ashes and be reborn in anger.”
"Yeah. It makes sense." Old Nanyang nodded, "Huaian, are you sure those Taoist priests in Wufeng Mountain will step back and make a deal with you?"

"They have no other choice." Gu Qingyan nodded, "Wufeng Mountain is too close to the capital. If His Majesty wants to get rid of them, there will be no room left. Lu Tianshi has offended Your Majesty very much."
The old King of Nanyang sighed when he heard this, "It's just because of a flower like a jade that things have reached this stage."
"With Master Lu Tianshi's last words, my father is as fond of flowers as jade, and I'm afraid he doesn't think much about them anymore." Chu Yan smiled mockingly.
Gu Qingyan nodded and also smiled, "Your Majesty can't even go to court now. He is most afraid of being possessed by something evil. Otherwise, he would not have sent people to Wufeng Mountain to recruit people for the second time. He would have wanted to kill him."
Everyone in Wufeng Mountain."
Master Lu Tianshi kept saying to kill the faint king, which really offended His Majesty to death.
Chu Yan didn't want to talk about the emperor anymore, so he asked Gu Qingyan, "When will we set off tomorrow?"
"We will not go with His Highness Seventh. After all, His Majesty's imperial edict has been issued. There will be many people staring at His Highness, especially King Jing. We will go in two directions. Tomorrow evening, I will take Ning'er and wait for Qi at the foot of Wufeng Mountain.
"Your Highness." Gu Qingyan said, "I have asked people to let out the news. Your Majesty will send Prince Chen to attack Wufeng Mountain with 50,000 soldiers and horses. Let the Taoist priests on Wufeng Mountain know the news first. It will be tense for two days. After two days, seven
Your Highness and I will take Ning'er to Wufeng Mountain. After weighing the pros and cons, they will agree to this deal that will allow them to escape unscathed."
Chu Yan nodded, "Okay, tomorrow I will bring some people from my house to show off."
Gu Qingyan nodded.
The matter was discussed well, and with Gu Qingyan's method, Chu Yan felt much relieved. Only then did he have the intention to look at Gu Qingyan carefully, and found that Gu Qingyan seemed to have gone to Nanyang.
Something seems to have changed before, but I can’t tell you the specifics. In short, the whole person is very different from before.
His change is not very obvious, but Chu Yan has learned to speculate and observe people's hearts since he was a child, and he is good at observing the subtleties. Naturally, he can see it clearly when he looks closely.
Gu Qingyan noticed Chu Yan's sizing and smiled slightly, "Your Highness, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Chu Yan looked away, his expression as calm as ever, "Are you still planning to go to court? When will you go to court?"
Gu Qingyan's eyes moved, "Whenever Your Majesty goes to court, on the day Grandpa An goes to court, I will go to court together."
Chu Yan nodded, knowing that his good father Huang might still let Chu Lan supervise the country at the Great Court Meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow, and he would probably not even show up at the Great Court Meeting. So, my grandfather was originally scheduled to go to court to meet with all the civil and military officials.
Naturally, there is no need to go to the day of your majesty's debate. It has been postponed to a later date.
After talking about the business, Gu Qingyan stood up and said, "Grandpa An and His Majesty the Seventh Prince should rest early. Ning'er and I are going back."
Chu Yan also stood up, "Actually, there is no need to trade the secret of Ning'er's identity. After all, there are many people in Wufeng Mountain. If someone leaks it, it will always be trouble."
Gu Qingyan smiled, "Don't say five thousand people, just fifty thousand people. If they enter Nanyang's territory, they will enter the little princess's dinner plate. She doesn't want people to spread the news, and no one will open their mouths.
Don’t worry, Your Highness Seventh.”
Chu Yan was silent for a moment and nodded.
An Yining followed Gu Qingyan, thinking that her cousin liked her little aunt, right? It was a bit pitiful to meet a love rival like her little uncle and lose without a fight.
Hey, he is still a child, and his uncle deliberately lets him see so much, which is really sad.
What if he doesn’t learn well when he grows up?
