"Then Chief Tan is here for Yuan Jiuchen and Tailing Sect?"
"Exactly!"
Zong Shou nodded. Both parties knew this matter well, and there was nothing to hide. It would be best for both parties to talk openly.
"The Tailing Sect has ulterior motives. Now that I think about it, Your Highness is aware of it. I wonder what your Highness thinks?"
This time, Yin Quan had a silent expression: "Although the Tailing Sect and my ninth brother plotted against me, I do not necessarily have to make an enemy of the largest sect of the sect. Your Excellency, today, you can
Leave, pretend you didn’t see me—"
Zong Shou smiled, knowing that he was going to bargain with him. Ordinarily, at this time, he should make some promises to reassure the King of Han. But as far as he was concerned, he really didn't want to do that.
"I think that Your Highness should ask me, the common people, to deal with Yuan Jiuchen!"
"Huh? I would like to hear the details!" Yin Quan's first reaction at this time was not anger, but curiosity. Just like before, if the young man was not sure, he would never say such a thing, so he just said it in a vague tone
, a bit heavier.
"In that case, let me talk about the truth first. I look at the history books and find that the fight for the throne over the years has been the most cruel. Killing brothers, killing fathers and mothers, are all recorded in history. Even if His Highness does not want to offend,
Will the Empress Dowager Tailing Sect let His Highness go and not become an enemy of His Highness? With all due respect, even if His Highness the Ninth Brother, the Empress Dowager, spares His Highness’ life, he will inevitably end up in a miserable life!"
As Zong Shou spoke, he sighed in his heart. This was also the reason why Tanya did not want to continue to be the demon king. He did not want his own heirs to kill each other like this. However, due to the constraints of 'Zong Shou's' last wish, he had to guard Qian Tianshan.
's foundation.
Yin Quan's expression only moved slightly: "This statement is just your guess. Besides, Yuan Jiuchen is also my favorite general——"
"A confidant? This is a confidant who has a close relationship with the Tailing Sect. Since this person can betray me, the common people, why can't he betray His Highness? Besides the interests, His Highness wants to ascend to the throne in the future. It would be better to have one more opponent.
One more friend. Although I will not help you, I will not be your enemy."
Before he finished speaking, Yin Quan's eyes could be seen changing insignificantly. Zong Shou knew that threatening words like this were most likely to offend people. Then his tone changed again: "Isn't it possible that Your Highness is unwilling to do this again?"
Are you going to stay in Western Qin City for a while longer? Is it really wise to enter the capital at this time?"
Yin Quan looked stunned. He naturally wanted to stay in his fiefdom as long as possible.
Entering the capital seemed to be a good time, and it was the first time for any prince. But if he could still be complacent before he knew about the connection between the Tailing Sect and the King of Liao, now his heart has already sunk to the bottom.
——Not only is it not a happy event, but it is enough to kick him out!
But with the ministers in the court asking him to do so and his father's permission, he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
Is there any way to talk about Qiu? With the strength of Cangshengdao, maybe he can really help himself.
Zong Shou's expression was calm, and he poured himself a cup without being arrogant or arrogant. It was not until Yin Quan sighed and looked at him with a look that asked for advice that he said calmly: "The general under his command was assassinated, and there are more rebels in the land under his jurisdiction.
To cause chaos. The place is not peaceful. I don’t know if this excuse is enough? Is His Highness really relieved and entrusting your army to Yuan Jiuchen?"
At this moment, not only Yin Quan, but also the old man named Li moved slightly and looked at each other.
In fact, they would be able to think of this method in a few days. However, it seems that nothing is more suitable than Yuan Jiuchen's death and the chaos in the world.
"This Yuan Jiuchen, I remember, is a traitor to the common people. Isn't it natural for you to clean up the family?"
The speaker this time was the old man surnamed Li. Zong Shou also gave a cold reply, and his answer was very unambiguous: "As a common people, I can kill him today or kill him tomorrow, but it doesn't have to be before His Highness leaves -"
After counting this sentence, Zong Shou refused to say any more. He held a cup of tea and did not drink it. He just quietly sniffed the faint fragrance. He allowed the King of Han to consider it carefully.
The problem is that at this time, it has been less than ten days since Yin Quan left for Beijing! And this Yuan Jiuchen, I am afraid that these four princes will hate him even more than they do in the common people, and they will kill him as soon as possible.
After a moment, Yin Quan and the old man surnamed Li exchanged glances. After their expressions changed for a moment, they finally let out a wry smile.
"Your Excellency has won! I just don't know what you, the common people, want from me."
"There are three million people in Heliantieshan. I want to beg His Highness to let them go and let them go. A few dozen days ago, a dozen of my fellow disciples who were detained——"
Having said this, Zong Shou paused. For a moment, he really didn't know what he should get from this King of Han. The common people have great wealth. Although the King of Han is rich, after just a few decades of management, he may not necessarily be better than the King of Han.
His sect guarded the current Qiantian Mountain. Even if there were some benefits, the sect might not appreciate it.
If you ask for too much, the King of Han will probably not agree.
After looking at Yin Quan up and down, Zong Shou's gaze finally settled on the opponent's waist, and then his pupils shrank slightly.
"Actually, this time, I, Cang Sheng Dao, and Your Highness are each getting what they need. I, Cang Sheng Dao, don't ask for any reward from Your Highness. On the contrary, I like gold and stone, so I gave you the jade pendant. Tan Qiu looked very happy.
, I would like to ask Your Highness to give it to me——"
Yin Quan was stunned and then relaxed. These conditions were within his expectation and were not excessive.
Without hesitation at that moment, he took off the jade bracelet he was wearing on his waist and threw it to Zong Shou. This piece of jade was just of good quality, and was better than the best mutton-fat jade.
It's just a few points, it's not a strange item. Then he looked solemn and said: "Then you, Cangshengdao, when are you going to take action?"
After Zong Shou took the jade stone, he squeezed it with his hands and realized that it was exactly what he remembered, and there was no mistake about it. This time, this jade pendant was an unexpected surprise.
I still wanted to take a closer look, but I only felt two cold gazes coming towards me. Zong Shou suddenly laughed dumbly and put away the things in his hands.
Do you agree to mobilize troops and horses to help Ji Lingzi, and even lend out the Dingxi cavalry?"
Zong Shou looked out the window and saw that it was raining heavily and continuously.
"What happened to the King of Liao will eventually frighten the snake. It will be a long night and many dreams, so why not just do it today?"
In a few words, Yuan Jiuchen's fate was decided. Zong Shou's eyes narrowed slightly.
This continuous heavy rain is also an unexpected surprise. This is because God is also helping him - after today, he can finally escape!
※※※※“Why does the rainy season never stop this year?”
About two hundred and thirty miles away from Xiqin City, it was also raining heavily and thunder was flashing in the sky.
But a total of nine thousand cavalry troops stood quietly in the field on one side of the river bank.
They were all motionless, like statues.
The leaders were none other than Yuan Jiuchen and Ji Lingzi. However, there were two others standing side by side with him. They were all wearing armor equivalent to a sixth-level spiritual weapon, and they looked majestic and exuded a fierce tiger aura.
There is a faint smell of blood in the servant's mouth and nose. If you look carefully with your spiritual eyes, you can see a bloody evil light rising into the sky. Most of the generals who have killed in the army are like this.
The person who spoke was none other than one of them, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a clear face.
Ji Lingzi glanced at the two men. One was Xiao Ze, the commander of the Dingxi Iron Cavalry. He commanded a thousand cavalry troops, but their strength was not inferior to that of the Zixiao Sword Cavalry.
The man next to him, grumbling in boredom, is equally extraordinary. He is Bo Li, the commander of the Han king's guards.
Although this person's words were complaining about the weather, they were actually expressing dissatisfaction with their Tailing Sect.
"You two, please be patient. In two days' time, the three million criminals will be executed. I expect that when the common people take action, it will be either today or tomorrow. Please work hard for two more days."
, I, the Tailing Sect, will be richly rewarded afterwards!"
Bo Li then shut up and looked at Xiao Ze on the other side, smiling. Then he looked at the Li River not far away.
It has rained heavily in the past few days, and the flood peak of Lihe River is getting higher and higher.
Fortunately, now, there is no need for Your Highness to worry about this matter.
Just as he was thinking this, two groups of radiant lights suddenly fell from a distance in the sky, landing and floating in front of him and Xiao Ze respectively.
Bo Li took it doubtfully, and after a moment, his expression became extremely strange.
Looking at Xiao Ze, his colleague was extremely calm and showed no emotion at all. It was as if nothing had happened.
Ji Lingzi was also a little surprised by these two communication talismans, and asked tentatively: "You two, are you Your Highness, who has something to give you?"
Bo Li smiled, his face returned to normal instantly, and he nodded: "Exactly! He said that he wants me and the two to get things done early and go back to escort His Highness to the capital. His Highness seems to be leaving early -"
When Yuan Jiuchen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Bo Li in surprise.
Ji Lingzi was also overjoyed, but inside her chest, she still felt something strange.
But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't figure out the reason. I just thought that I was suspicious and ignored it.
After dozens of breaths, he saw a group of scouts galloping towards him in the rain not far away.
After approaching, the leader of the Tanqi team rushed to the front of Ji Lingzi and the other four men, and clasped their fists on their horses and saluted.
"My lords, about seventy miles downstream, the river embankment suddenly burst. When I came down, the water had almost reached the Helian Iron Mountain——"
The four people here were all stunned, thinking that the water flooded Mount Heliantezhan? What on earth is going on? Is it man-made or intentional?
Ji Lingzi was only surprised for a moment, then sneered: "I remember that the place where Helian Iron Mountain is located is seventeen feet below the water surface? So, Cangshengdao must have built countless large ships?"
The commander of the scouting cavalry immediately saluted again and said in shock. At that time, there were more than 300 ships with a hundred thousand stone boats going down the river, and they had also arrived at Helian Iron Mountain!
