Lincheng Huamo Chapter 191: The False King Worries
When Ying Ruge left, she made a suggestion to Zhongxihou. If Zhongxihou thought that these two children, Shentu and Yulei, were good, he could take them as disciples and teach Wuyu swordsmanship. Zhongxihou did not answer the question directly, only said this
He will train his two children well, first practice their hearts and then their swords, so that they can succeed in the future. Whether they stay in the West or travel around the world, the two children can decide for themselves.
After the excitement, only Zhong Xihou was left alone. Zhong Xihou slumped on the chair with the empty cup in his mouth. The cup kept swinging up and down. As soon as his mouth was loosened, the tea cup fell. Zhong Xihou reached forward and caught the tea cup.
Put it on the table. Then got up and walked out of the house.
Zhong Xihou went to a wing room in the corner of the house, or it should be said that it was another study after vacating the wing room and rearranging it.
Zhongxihou lightly knocked on the door, and a soft "come in" came from inside. Zhongxihou opened the door and walked in. When the people inside saw that it was Zhongxihou, they immediately stood up from their chairs and greeted Zhongxihou with a wish of "Wan Fu" and respectfully.
Said: "Master Hou, what's going on?"
This study room was specially designed for King Gui. The room was originally quite large, but now it is filled with rows of bookshelves. One blue book after another is thrown on the ground around the desk. There is an inkstone on the desk.
There was less than half of the ink left, and there were four or five broken pens next to the inkstone.
Zhong Xihou's study was quite tidy, but the study of King Gui could only be described as a mess.
Perhaps because Zhong Xihou saw the embarrassing scene in his study, King Gui couldn't help but show a little guilt on his face. Zhong Xihou smiled slightly, then waved his hand, and a gust of wind passed by, and those blue-skinned men who were lying quietly on the ground were
The book floated up and was neatly stacked on the table.
Zhong Xihou turned around and closed the door, then moved a chair to sit down and said straight to the point: "King Gui, I plan to leave tomorrow to return to the West. What are your arrangements?"
King Gui took a blue book from the table and handed it to Zhong Xihou respectfully. After Zhong Xihou took it, he just glanced at it casually and frowned. He looked at King Gui, but King Gui nodded.
The content above is not false at all.
Zhong Xihou was a little helpless and said: "This old Dragon King is really an old fox. In the end, he will have to be the evil man alone."
"In addition to these, King Jinling also sent a letter."
Zhong Xihou also took the letter, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and saw the content on it. He was surprised at first, and then laughed. King Gui was a little confused and looked confused.
Zhong Xihou stopped laughing and explained: "Gu Zheng plans to ask Tian Qin to check whether the city that never sleeps has a tavern and other industries outside Hangzhou. Pick a big one and give it to the younger brother. The younger brother plans to have it outside Hangzhou.
Settled down, opened a restaurant, and lived an ordinary life. It seems that these two brothers will finally meet their true colors."
Hearing that this was the case, King Gui also showed a faint smile. But she thought of what Zhong Xihou had asked before, she frowned slightly, hesitated for a few moments, and finally replied: "Since the Marquis wants Tian Qin to stay in Aurous Hill for the time being,
The city, the cooperation with the Zhu family was all done by the generation of the old city lord, and now the Marquis has just begun to take over it completely, so the slave family should stay in Jinling City for now."
Zhong Xihou nodded and continued: "Have you found out the origins of those people in Yama Palace?"
King Gui took another blue book from the table and handed it to Zhong Xihou respectfully. Zhong Xihou also flipped through it roughly, and then showed a strange look on his face.
Hehehe a few times, then said: "Sure enough, my junior brother is just a reckless man after all. But the guy in Muhan Tower is indeed a fat fox. Even I, in the city that never sleeps, would have to spend so much time to find out."
"He shows his courtesy for nothing. Even if he is the younger brother of the Marquis, he is sometimes kept in the dark. No wonder he is."
Zhong Xihou nodded and continued: "That's true. Since the old Dragon King wants to help alone, let the people on this list do it. You can also tell the fat fox in Mu Hanlou that Xi Di is not easy to mess with.
.”
Seeing Zhong Xihou's decision, King Gui showed a satisfied smile, as if she saw that her disciple had finally grown to a level that she was satisfied with. If it was the people from the Yama Palace who did these things, it was apparently sent by Zhong Xihou, but with the help of
With King Jinling's ability, how could he not know that these people came from Muhan Tower?
By then, the fat fox in Muhan Tower will have to think carefully about his attitude toward the city that never sleeps and Lincheng.
King Gui hesitated for a few moments, but finally decided to speak, saying: "Master Hou, there is something that requires your decision."
Zhong Xihou was a little puzzled that he had delegated power to King Gui. It could also be said that the power held by King Gui was no different from his own. King Gui acted vigorously and resolutely, and the plans he devised were vicious and ruthless. Suddenly there was something to ask.
Zhong Xihou himself was also puzzled. He nodded and signaled to King Gui that it would be okay.
King Gui also nodded and continued: "Zhu Jianying set up a scheme a few years ago, and Xi Di only learned about it in the past few days. The Nu family doesn't know whether Xi Di should get involved."
When he heard that it was Zhu Jianying, Zhong Xihou was slightly startled, confused, but also a little curious.
"This game is called the Qingyang Gambling Game. It is said that it involves the lords of the five cities and many rich and famous people. Those rich and famous people are still investigating. The five cities involved are known to be Lincheng, Wanfeng City, Qianshi City and Tongyi City.
There is one person who I don’t know about at the moment.”
"What does it matter?"
"Just by hearing the name, the Marquis can naturally know that this bet is related to the position of emperor."
When he heard that it was about the position of the emperor, Zhong Xihou laughed loudly, and then said: "This Zhu Jianying is really interesting. A few years ago, it seems that if this Zhu Jianying was not crazy, the situation in the world would be really difficult.
Test. If the five-city gambling game doesn’t fit your vocabulary, let’s make it a six-city gambling game.”
King Wei understood what Zhong Xihou meant and nodded, but then Zhong Xihou spoke again and said something that made King Wei frown and even take a breath.
"King Gui, I forgot to tell you that Zhu Jiannan is dead."
King Wei's eyes were first shocked, then panicked, and finally worried. This series of changes made Zhong Xihou a little confused. How could King Wei have so many emotions after Zhu Jiannan died.
King Gui finally explained: "Zhu Jiannan is dead, and the situation in Daye should change again."
"tell me the story."
King Gui nodded and continued: "King Jinling is old, Zhu Yinuo has not yet become the king, and when Zhu Jiannan dies, Lincheng has lost its core leadership. Within Lincheng, there will be personnel changes and power changes, which will happen
What, the Marquis can imagine. Externally, envoys from various cities will flock to us. As for how to divide the interests of Lincheng, it is hard to say."
What King Gui said was just routine. Zhong Xihou was a little confused. If it was just like this, how could it make King Gui look so sad.
"If it's just these, that's it. It's terrible.
What’s scary is that if today the emperor finds out that Zhu Jiannan is dead, he might think of ways to cut down the feudal vassalage. In this case, the whole country will definitely be in turmoil again, which is really not good for the West.”
After hearing King Gui's explanation, Zhong Xihou frowned and nodded.
Hearing King Gui sigh again, he continued: "I think King Jinling will also temporarily block the news of Zhu Jiannan's death, and let him regain power in Lincheng. Zhu Jiannan has done many things personally. If he has been here all the time,
In the Forbidden City, if you don't show your face, you can also hide it for a while."
"Then, how long can you keep it a secret?"
King Gui stretched out three fingers and said with a somewhat uncertain tone: "Maybe three years."
"Three years?"
Zhong Xihou lay down again, rubbed his chin, and began to think about the time issue. Then he sat upright, nodded, and said: "If, what I said is what if, if Mo Ming takes power in Lincheng, maybe let
Time is delayed until the young python Zhu Yinuo turns into a dragon?"
King Gui nodded directly, without any hesitation, and said: "During the time I came to Jinling, the Nu family has been observing a certain person. If possible, the Nu family would like to accept this person as a disciple."
Hearing that King Gui wanted to accept a disciple, Zhong Xihou's eyes shone with golden light and said: "Which young lady or young master can win the favor of King Gui?"
But when it came to who this person was, King Gui hesitated for a while, and the air became quiet for a moment. Marquis Zhong Xi kept staring at him, and King Gui finally said in an awkward tone: "This person is the direct grandson of the Li family in Jinling.
Li Pinghong."
"Li Pinghong?"
Zhong Xihou couldn't help but frown. He also hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and said: "This person's surname is Li. It is impossible for him to betray Lincheng. But if he is the one you like, King Gui, it's not easy to do it alone."
You must give up some power-seeking desires. Boxer disciples should keep it a secret. Don’t forget this principle.”
Hearing Zhong Xihou's agreement, King Gui also showed a little joy on his face. After talking about personal matters, King Gui began to talk about business again, saying: "The death of the old city lord has nothing to do with King Jinling."
After King Gui finished speaking, Zhong Xihou couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He never expected that King Gui would suddenly say such a sentence. Then Zhong Xihou's voice trembled a little and asked: "King Gui, this matter is about to begin.
No joking."
King Gui was a little puzzled and shook his head, indicating that the information was correct.
In an instant, Zhong Xihou slumped on the chair again, and then kept laughing like a self-mockery. Seeing that Zhong Xihou seemed to be stupid, King Gui was even more puzzled.
"King Gui, do you know that not long ago, the old Dragon King told Gu that he was the one who killed his adoptive father. It was he who sent his adoptive father's biological sister to his adoptive father's bed, which made his adoptive father ashamed and finally committed suicide."
Hearing what King Jinling told Zhong Xihou, King Gui's eyes became even more confused, and he said in confusion: "In addition to being a disciple of Lord Dugu, the old city lord also once apprenticed to another person. That person was the third disciple of King Jinling.
Brother, this senior also has a disciple named Wen Jiu. When our people found out that it was the Marquis who was searching, this senior named Wen Jiu told everything frankly."
"Wen Jiu? Wen Jiu? So, Gu, does he still have an uncle and a master? What did he say?"
King Gui hesitated for a few moments, as if he didn't know how to speak. Marquis Zhong Xi kept staring at her, and King Gui finally had no choice but to tell everything in full: "Wen Jiu commented on the old city lord that he is a villain and a pig."
