Chapter 213 Scene 28: The Seventh Red Armored Prairie Fire
That night, Gao Li was alone and came to the dungeon where Feng Weishu was imprisoned again. This was the tenth meeting between the two in half a month. Before that, he had already reached some kind of agreement with the imprisoned chief priest.
In the agreement, the other party actually agreed to use key information about the Holy City in exchange for future freedom.
For Gao Li, this is simply a business that is sure to make a profit. Now, although he is the deacon elder with the highest status, the longest seniority, and the most power under Kun Jie, he only knows about the existence of the Holy City.
No clues about its location, past legends, etc. are known.
Although he is about to ascend the throne, he is always worried that there will still be many variables in the future. At present, the bargaining chip used to exchange for the secrets of the clan that only the archpriest could have access to in the past is just a promise that may never be truly fulfilled.
However, Gao Li still thought Feng Weishu was too simplistic. This once-unparalleled high priest is not as desperate as he seems on the surface, and he has never given up on regaining his freedom.
Hope. The secrets he told Gao Li were just carefully selected and incomplete information. And all of this was just to learn more about the outside world from the other party's mouth, and to prepare for his and his daughter's escape.
Plan and be prepared.
Therefore, not long after the conversation over the past few days started, Feng Weishu noticed the endless anxiety in the other party's tone and asked tentatively.
At first, Gao Li was unwilling to reveal anything about his thoughts to his prisoners. However, Feng Weishu's eyes were vicious after all, so he only said a few words in an understatement, and he already guessed the whole story:
"Could it be that your Majesty is worried about the enthronement ceremony in the future?"
Gao Li was scheming in the Yongyang Palace and had long been accustomed to being wary of everyone. Only he knew many of the secrets hidden in his heart. However, the more secrets he hid, the more depressed he felt in his heart year by year.
Now these burdens made him feel as if he was being pressed down by white light, and he couldn't breathe at all.
The more this happened, the more he hoped that someone would listen to him and share his burdens. But it seemed that the fellow tribesman in front of him who had lost power and whose fate seemed to be controlled by him suddenly became the most suitable target. Gao Li
Increasingly, I feel that it is not impossible to discuss the difficult issues that are happening right now with the other party.
"...Today I learned that all the princes from all over the world have sent envoys to Beijing, but they are weak and small countries that cannot be reused at all! In this case, even if I ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, how can I resolve the dissatisfaction and instigation of the other countries?!"
Gao Li said angrily, but he could not hide the helplessness and confusion in his tone. It seemed that at this moment, even he himself was not sure whether he should continue to be the emperor of the land people.
"Why? Didn't you say a few days ago that Kunjie had brought back the news of Peng's oath of allegiance? The blue flame is very powerful, and it is also an ancient miracle left by the ancestors. With its help, you are also worried about other princes.
Congress raises troops?”
Feng Weishu asked deliberately. Although he knew in his heart that something had happened, he did not point it out directly, but wanted the other party to tell him personally.
"Swear allegiance? If there is an envoy from the Peng Kingdom in the city post today, why should I be afraid of beheading the envoy and Wei Liang and Nalu Qiu Borong, who have shown their rebellion? How should I be afraid of Yubei, who has just lost his master?
And the country of Ye, which is riddled with holes and holes! How can it be so radiant on the back, as if it’s sitting on pins and needles?”
Speaking of Pengguo, the anger on Gao Li's face became more intense, "This time, Kunjie, who is so small, must have obstructed him in every possible way. I'm afraid it was Chengguo who wanted to surrender, but was blocked by his ruthless rule.
His eloquence made him run away!"
"No, definitely not. I'm afraid you may have misunderstood something." Feng Weishu shook his head repeatedly, pretending not to agree with the other party's inference, "Kunjie and his party are able to achieve the power they have today because of
Relying on the capable elders under his command and Wan Qian Zhihuo. Although he is arbitrary, he can still think clearly about this."
"He can think clearly! If he can think clearly, why did he kill the two elders who held the staff and the law enforcement officer in succession, and then re-appoint two young men who were still young to take their place?! If he could think clearly, back then,
As long as I bribe the important officials in the court with a few mysterious gems, I don't have to sacrifice my life to get into the palace, let alone work hard to get to where I am today just to raise money for him! If he can think clearly, why?
He will be jealous of me in every possible way, not to mention that I am about to become the emperor of the land people, so he will use this evil trick to cut off my escape! In the end, all of us are just his pawns, and we can be discarded at will after using them.
It’s just a thing!”
Gao Li gritted his teeth and roared. In the past few years, he had been suppressed by Kun Jie more than once. And the grievances, depression, anger and unwillingness seemed to have suddenly found a way to pour out, and they all burst out.
come out.
Feng Weishu successfully aroused the other party's emotions, and couldn't help but smile to himself: "So, today's predicament seems to be your own fault."
"Isn't it my own? High Priest, you have been locked up here for too long and have lost your normal mind, right?!"
Gao Li stared angrily, as if he couldn't believe that a prisoner would accuse him of his faults.
Feng Weishu shook his head, without any intention of stopping here: "Am I wrong? What you have in your hands now is power that no one on this land can match. But you are in a high position.
, you are about to become the master of tens of thousands of people, no matter how dissatisfied you are, you are still being manipulated by the leader of the rebel party who only knows how to run around, and you are at his mercy, but you have never expressed any doubts or hesitations.
——Isn’t it?”
"How do you know that I have never questioned or hesitated? But I am a member of the Cangyu tribe after all, and what Kun Jie did is related to the well-being and future of the entire tribe, and more importantly, to my parents, relatives, brothers and sisters, how can it be you
What can this murderous demon understand?!"
Gao Li immediately denied it. All the efforts he has made so far are to pave the way for himself and his blood relatives before the people land. Unfortunately, now, there seems to be no hope of achieving this goal.
, is becoming increasingly slim.
Feng Weishu did not comment on this: "If you really mean it, why don't you resist with action?"
"How do you know that I won't do it even if I don't want to?!" After being provoked several times, Gao Li finally couldn't control what he was thinking and spilled the beans: "Now, although I give way to Kun Jie in every way, I arrange for him to be with Yu.
Beijing is delicious and delicious, but when the time comes, I will definitely settle the old and new accounts with him!"
"When will the time be ripe? If you are suppressed by Kunjie for one more day, everything you have worked so hard for will be destroyed. I am afraid that before your parents and relatives land on land, it will be difficult for you to even fulfill your wish to help them.
"
Feng Weishu continued to launch a psychological offensive, but the other party seemed to have full confidence, and shook his head with absolute certainty: "I naturally have a sense of proportion in my heart! Soon, I will make the man named Kun crawl on my knees. At your feet, acknowledge that I am the supreme emperor in this world!"
"Why do you rely on it? The holy city whose location has not yet been determined? Or the new queen you are about to marry?"
Feng Weishu suddenly sneered. His words immediately made Gao Li change his expression and he took several steps back:
"How did you know Ning Yue was here with me?!"
"Don't worry, I don't have any other intentions, and I don't want to blackmail you." Feng Weishu shook his head and signaled the other party not to be nervous, "But there is a saying among land people: Paper cannot contain fire. Yes, I think you must have heard of it. From the first day I was imprisoned in this prison, I was vaguely aware of a forbidden spell barrier that was carefully hidden in the palace. This barrier is aimed at people with powerful spiritual powers. People, if they are not made of powerful magic weapons made of black roses, they cannot be used at all, and it is even more difficult to break them."
"The chief priest is for important criminals. Isn't it normal to set up a barrier for the prisoners held here?" Gao Li suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be deliberately trying to trick him, and he became alert and did not want to say more.
"Your Excellency, please stop hiding it. People on land have banned witchcraft and curses for hundreds of years. Apart from me, there is no one else here who knows high-level witchcraft. However, Kun Jie brought me to Yujing temporarily. You didn't tell anyone about your idea before, how did you know it in advance and make arrangements in advance? Who is the person you want to be wary of? "
Feng Weishu's narrowed eyes suddenly revealed the sharpness and unquestionability of being a high priest. He spoke so bluntly that the other party was speechless.
However, at this time, Gao Li was worried that if the seemingly down-and-out man in front of him learned that his daughter had been under house arrest and was about to marry him, the secret of the Holy City might no longer be known, so he still Refusing to nod in recognition, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Feng Weishu, who had already turned his back on guests and took the initiative, smiled again and opened his mouth, causing the other party to stop immediately:
"I'm afraid you still don't know that the woman you are about to marry is not my Feng Weishu's daughter at all!"
"Where on earth did you hear that your daughter is in my hands? It's completely false!"
Gao Li suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the other party in great surprise. However, the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.
"Does anyone else need to tell me? Such strong spiritual power is emanating from someone in the palace. Even if it can be suppressed by a barrier and concealed for a while, how can it be concealed from the great priest after so many days have passed? Eyes? Every time you come to see me, your body is always more or less stained with the smell of Yujing's famous rouge powder. If it wasn't the woman you admired, how could you be so interested in her? "
Feng Weishu paused and continued to criticize.
Gao Li suddenly panicked. Although he could no longer pretend to be calm, he showed a look of reluctance: "How is this possible? If that red-haired girl is not the daughter of the high priest, who is her flesh and blood?" ?!"
"Who else could it be? It's the leader of the rebel party who makes you obey and fearful, Mr. Kunjie! Since I can see that something is wrong in the palace, Kunjie must have noticed it a long time ago. Aren't you worried? Now he sees through it but doesn’t reveal it, what’s the reason?”
Feng Weishu actually struggled for a long time whether to tell the other party what he had thought about again and again. On the surface, this move put Ning Yue in a more dangerous situation. But for him who had decided to run away with his beloved daughter, However, it was to a certain extent that when Gao Li used heavy troops to hunt down and intercept the two men, he would not kill them easily.
After hearing this, Gao Li could no longer suppress the despair and helplessness in his heart, and his expression became gloomy and uncertain. Even he himself did not notice that although he still spoke harshly, he had completely accepted the other party's rhetoric in his heart. :
"So, the high priest is telling me that Kun Jie is actually using that girl Ning Yue as bait to lure me into taking the bait? And he already knows everything I do and think? Then why does he still keep me here? So far, you have not removed me immediately? You are lying! What do you want to do to provoke us?!"
"I have fallen to this, what else can I want to do? But your Lord Kunjie——"
Seeing that the other party had fallen into the trap he had set, Feng Weishu decided to go further and completely destroy the last glimmer of hope that the other party still had for Kun Jie, "But do you know, if your Lord Kun Jie succeeds?" If you wish, then it will not only be the people on land who suffer, but all living beings including the entire Cangyu tribe!"
"What are you talking about?!"
Gao Li was trembling all over his body, as if he was a wild wolf caught in a trap. Although he had sharp claws and fangs, he was helpless. He knew clearly in his heart that no matter how hard he struggled, his fate would be pinched to death. In the hands of a hunter who has set a trap, there is no way to avoid it and no way to fly.
And that hunter was none other than Kun Jie.
Feng Weishu did not answer the other party's question directly, but stared directly into his eyes and nodded: "Although the current situation seems to be the end of the road, there is still a glimmer of hope. I wonder if you are willing to listen." What can I say?"
Desperate, Gao Li could only nod his head: "Let's just listen and see!"
Feng Weishu then said again:
"Have you ever thought about why Kun Jie hasn't ordered to kill me yet? If I wanted to help you, he would never be able to find the Holy City first. Even if he found the right location by chance, he would not be able to enter. !”
Gao Li was well aware of the entanglement of interests involved and did not show too much excitement: "But you will never help me easily, right? If you want me to do anything, please tell me."
"I just want you to let Ning Yue leave as soon as possible. If she stays in the palace for one more day, there will be a big variable in your plan. If Kun Jie finds out, he will never let you off lightly."
"No hurry, no rush, let me think about it carefully for now!"
Feng Weishu originally felt that after some hard work, he would be able to convince the other party to cooperate with him. Unexpectedly, Gao Li was noncommittal about this and refused to agree easily.
At this time, there was only one short day left before the enthronement ceremony was held.
