Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Second All Out of the Sky Alliance
When Gu Cheng was brought to his mansion by Li Xiaozhun, Gu Cheng was indeed a little surprised to see the people inside.
In addition to the leader of the Fighting Heaven Alliance, there are six other people there.
Among them, Gu Cheng knew Qiu Erniang, Zi Cheyou, Liu Qi and Xiao Kaishan.
The other two, Gu Cheng, were strangers and had never met them before.
Qiu Erniang pointed to one of them, a middle-aged man who was thin and elegant, as if he was a teacher, and said, "This is Third Brother Xie Xie Xuan'an."
As she spoke, Qiu Erniang pointed to another young master in his thirties, who was pale and a little sick, but had a smile on his face and said: "Ling Wu, 'Mo Ghost' Ling Xia, has a certain...
There is a scroll of thousands of ghosts, and hundreds of powerful ghosts are trapped in it."
Gu Cheng was surprised. Counting the nine core members of his Heavenly Alliance, only one Yu Si, Yu Yuanhai, who was guarding the southern barbarians far away, was not there. The others were all here.
"I've met Third Brother Xie and Fifth Brother Ling."
Xie Xuanan and Ling Xia also greeted Gu Cheng politely, but in fact they were not as good as Gu Cheng in terms of strength.
When it comes to cultivation, Xie Xuanan and Ling Xia have just stepped into the fifth level, and their auras are unstable, as if they were improved by external objects.
But among them, Xie Xuanan is good at formations, talismans, elixirs, weapon refining and other strange things, and is not good at combat cultivation.
Ling Xia, on the other hand, is more like a left-behind monk, and is not known for his own cultivation.
The leader of the Fighting Sky Alliance has said before that this operation in the capital is very important to the Fighting Sky Alliance. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. Not to mention that the entire Fighting Sky Alliance will mobilize this time, it is almost the same.
It's just that Yu Yuanhai is serving as the governor of Nanjiu County, so it is still a bit conspicuous to come to the capital at this time.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the second prince Li Xiaowu also walked out of the room, looking tired and solemn.
After seeing everyone present, Li Xiaowu respectfully greeted everyone present, especially the leader of the Zhengtian Alliance and Gu Cheng.
"I heard that Mr. Gu was promoted to the position of Chief Supervisor by my father. He can supervise the entire Jingyesi Division and his power is second only to the Commander. I am really happy and congratulated."
Li Xiaowu was very arrogant before, but now the situation makes it impossible for him to be arrogant.
Now the Fighting Sky Alliance is his only hope and his last trump card. If the Fighting Sky Alliance doesn't help him, the crown prince's position will be completely gone.
The leader of the Fighting Heaven Alliance said solemnly: "Fourth Prince, now we need to know everything about the situation in the capital, including the power you can control now. At this time when everyone is preparing for a last-ditch effort, you must not hide it."
Li Xiaowu let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "I know this.
In fact, the situation in the capital was favorable to me at the beginning. Especially last time, with the help of Mr. Gu, the prince and the third prince were all eliminated. The second prince did not take advantage. Only me got the limelight, so as long as I give him
In the king's time, the general trend that I can control will definitely be able to overtake the second prince from behind.
But who knew that big problems would occur in this year, one is that my father’s body can no longer hold on, and you should have seen this, Mr. Gu.”
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "Your Majesty is almost running out of oil. Let alone a year, it will be good if you can last for a month."
Li Xiaowu said: "Yes, it is precisely because the father can no longer hold on, so some ministers in the court are forcing the father to establish a prince.
Also, there were some problems when I went to the frontier.
Previously, my father transferred General Fan Sihai and General Ye Wuzhao to the North and Western Xinjiang. Originally, these two places should be easily resolved.
But last time, after the envoys of the barbarians in the North saw the civil strife in Daqian, they also took advantage of the fact that their father was seriously ill and sent troops to the North to put on a menacing look. It is said that they have already fought several battles. .
And something happened in Western Xinjiang, which dragged many powerful people from the local court there. Even Governor Ye Wuzhao has sent a commander there, but there is no news yet."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. These two pillars of Daqian had not returned to the capital for a year. No wonder Jingyesi and the others in the capital were so unsure. Even the wild Taoist priests of the Xianqin Daomen They all dare to run wild in the capital.
Li Xiaowu continued: "These are the general trends of the world. They originally did not have much impact on the situation, but half a year ago Taiyimen came to the capital with a Taoist branch, Xianqin Daomen, saying that it could help his father refine it. The medicine is used to prolong life and heal injuries, but it is actually the elixir of immortality.
The Immortal Qin Dao Sect is the state religion of the Qin State that has dominated the Central Plains for thousands of years. It is very experienced in refining the elixir of immortality. It is even said that if the Qin State had not perished too quickly, the elixir of immortality would have been refined.
Because the Immortal Qin Dao Sect had a close relationship with the Qin State at the beginning, they suffered an extremely brutal blow. They lived in seclusion and studied the elixir of immortality. It took them thousands of years to recuperate and build up the foundation of a major Tao sect.
After the father heard this, Long Yan was overjoyed. At the same time, Baiyunguan and Zhengyi faction endorsed the Xianqin Daomen, saying that there was absolutely no problem with the elixir of immortality refined by the Xianqin Daomen. Only the Taixuan Daomen did not participate because they were not familiar with the Xianqin Daomen.
But the Taoist sect's move was actually to push the Xianqin Taoist sect to the position of the state religion, and to make the head teacher of the Xianqin Taoist sect become the new national teacher.
Feng Taisu rebelled before, and even if the vacant position could not be given to the Taoist sect, it could not be given to the Buddhist sect, so this matter is ultimately a dispute between Taoism and Buddhism."
Gu Cheng suddenly said at this time: "Since it is a dispute between Taoism and Buddhism, we can just sit back and watch. Why does Your Majesty suddenly favor the second prince and put you under such great pressure?"
Li Xiaowu gritted his teeth and finally said with a dejected expression: "I was careless.
Originally, I thought that my father was seriously ill, and as long as I took things step by step, I would naturally gain the upper hand.
But who would have thought that the second prince, who had always done everything properly before, would go astray this time? He actually acted extremely well-behaved in front of his father, and even wanted to help his father find the elixir of immortality. If there is a Taoist sect that contributes, he also has his share.
It was precisely because of him threading the thread that the Daomen lineage was able to enter the capital smoothly and refine the elixir of immortality for their father.
This guy has now won the favor of his father, and the Taoist sect is also supporting him behind the scenes. When the time comes and the election is auspicious, he will almost become the prince.
But this guy is so difficult that he never thought about it. If the elixir of immortality is really refined, is it possible that he will be a prince for the rest of his life until he dies?"
After hearing this, the leader of the Zhengtian Alliance just asked lightly: "Does Your Highness think the elixir of immortality really exists?"
Li Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to be discouraged and said dejectedly: "It doesn't exist."
When the leader of the Zhengtian Alliance asked him a question, he knew where he had gone wrong.
Does the elixir of immortality exist? Of course it doesn’t!
Last time, Li Yuangong followed Feng Taisu's Immortal Treasure Guide and gathered almost all the power of the entire Daqian to refine the elixir of immortality, but the result? It still failed.
Then Gu Cheng tried his best and almost overturned the entire southwest to find the Everlasting Wonderland. But what happened? It was just a wishful dream of the East China Sea Mirage.
Including the current Immortal Qin Taoist Sect refining the elixir of immortality for Li Yuangong, it was only in the past few years. They did not succeed thousands of years ago, and they still have no chance to succeed now.
Therefore, it was precisely because the Taoist sect understood this that they were relieved to let them refine it. Even other Jianghu sects did not intervene this time, because they knew that this was just Li Yuangong's last bit of psychological comfort. That's all, it's impossible to succeed.
The second prince was indeed superior this time. He seized Li Yuangong's last bit of psychological comfort and instantly defeated Li Xiaowu's advantage.
So at this time, Li Xiaowu has no choice. His connections and power in the court are just a matter of Li Yuangong's words. The only thing he can rely on now is the Zhengtian Alliance!
Li Xiaowu looked at the leader of the Fighting Sky Alliance and gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the leader can help me win the throne this time, in addition to the conditions I promised you before, leader, everyone in the Fighting Sky Alliance will be able to occupy a place in the court and take charge of one side!
Among the eighteen counties in the Central Plains, the three most fertile and core counties can be left to you, the alliance leader, to develop as you wish. The imperial court will fully support the Zhengtian Alliance, and the Zhengtian Alliance will surely become the largest faction in the world!
And Sir Gu, you have enough merits now, but you lack the qualifications, so my father is unwilling to let you become the commander.
Don’t worry, if I ascend the throne in the future, you will definitely have a position among the four commanders, and I can even reserve the position of Grand Governor for you, Mr. Gu!”
Li Xiaowu was really anxious, and he even spoke indiscriminately.
What is he doing? Is he directly betraying the country? I am afraid that Daqian is not so easy on his own prince.
If he dares to give such great power to the Tianzheng Alliance in the future, will the Daqian military agree? Will other relatives of the emperor and princes and nobles agree?
Even if you become the emperor, you don't have the final say alone.
Although Gu Cheng's previous impression of Li Xiaowu was not very good, he still felt that the fourth prince had some ability, courage, and good methods.
But now it seems that this person is a bit of a paper tiger. He is okay on weekdays, but when something big happens, he is immediately knocked back to his original shape.
Overall, he still lacked training, and he couldn't calm down even though he had never experienced a severe beating from the martial arts world. Lee Hyo-jun on the side performed better than Lee Hyo-wu.
At least he didn't panic. He wanted to stop Li Xiaowu when he spoke indiscriminately, but in the end he didn't say anything because he was also afraid of offending the Tianzheng Alliance.
However, Li Xiaowu lost his head, but the people of the Zhengtian Alliance did not. No one took Li Xiaowu's desperate promise seriously.
The leader of the Fighting Heaven Alliance said calmly: "Your Highness, there is no need to panic. We, the Fighting Heaven Alliance, have been cooperating with Your Highness for such a long time and have invested a lot in His Highness. At this time, we will definitely do our best to help Your Highness fight for the throne.
Your Highness, put it down. After Li Yuangong passes away, the only person sitting on the throne will be you!"
