"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, Your Highness, what do you think?"
This time, Yin Quan had a silent expression: "Although Tailing Sect and my ninth brother plotted against me, I do not necessarily have to go against the largest sect of this sect. Your Excellency, you can leave today. , I just pretended not to see—"
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 is concerned, he really doesn't want to do this.
"I think that Your Highness should beg 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 this young man was not sure, he would never say such words, so his tone was a little more serious.
"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 always been the most cruel. Killing brothers, killing fathers and mothers are all recorded in history. Even if His Highness does not want to offend, In the future, will the Tailing Sect let His Highness go and not become his enemy? With all due respect, even if His Highness's Ninth Brother spares His Highness's life in the future, 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. I don’t want my own descendants to kill each other like this in the future. However, due to the last wish of "Zong Shou", he had to guard the foundation of Qiantian Mountain.
Yin Quan's expression only moved slightly: "This statement is just your guess. Besides, Yuan Jiuchen is also my dearest general -"
"A trusted general? This is a trusted general who has a close relationship with the Tailing Sect. Since this person can betray me, the Tao of the Common People, why can't he betray His Highness? Besides the stakes, if His Highness wants to ascend to the throne in the future, it would be better to have one more opponent. A friend. Although I will not help you, I will not be an enemy of His Highness."
Before he finished speaking, Yin Quan's eyes could be seen changing in an undetectable way. Zong Shou knew that threats like these were most likely to offend people. The tone then changed again: "Isn't it true that Your Highness is unwilling to stay in Western Qin City for a while? 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 like a beautiful sight, and it was the first time for any prince to do so. But if he could still be complacent before knowing 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, it is enough to kick him out!
But with the invitations from the ministers in the court and his father's permission, he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
Is there any way to talk about autumn? With Cang Sheng Dao's strength, he might really be able to help himself.
Zong Shou's expression was calm, and he poured himself a cup without being arrogant or impetuous. 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 at peace. I wonder if this excuse is enough? Is His Highness really relieved to entrust 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, after some time, they will be able to think of this method. However, it seems that nothing is more appropriate than Yuan Jiuchen dying and causing 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 person who spoke this time was the old man named Li. And Zong Shou also gave a cold sigh and answered unambiguously: "I, the common people, can kill him today or tomorrow, but we don't have to choose before His Highness leaves—"
After counting this sentence, Zong Shou refused to say anything more. He held a cup of tea and did not drink it. He just quietly sniffed the faint fragrance. Let the King of Han consider it carefully.
The problem is that at this time, it has been less than ten days since Yin Quan left for Beijing! As for Yuan Jiuchen, he was afraid that these four princes would hate them even more than they did in common life, and he would kill them quickly.
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 do you want from this king?"
"There are three million people in Heliantieshan. I want to beg His Highness to let them go and let them go. And dozens of 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 are rich and powerful. Although the King of Han is rich, his management in just a few decades may not necessarily be stronger than that of his clan and the current Qiantian Mountain. Even if there are some benefits, the sect may 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 eyes finally settled on the other person's waist, and then his pupils shrank slightly.
"Actually, this time, I, Cang Sheng Dao, and Your Highness are just 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, he took off the jade pendant worn on his waist and threw it to Zong Shou. This piece of jade is just of good quality, a little better than the best mutton-fat jade, and is not a rare item. Then he looked solemn: "So, Cangshengdao, when are you going to take action?"
After Zong Shou took the jade stone and squeezed it with his hands, he knew that this object was exactly what he remembered, and there was no mistake about it. This time, this jade pendant is an unexpected surprise.
I wanted to take a closer look, but I only felt two cold gaze lines coming towards me. Zong Shou suddenly burst into laughter and put away the things in his hands, "It is said that it is better to choose a day than to hit it. Didn't His Highness agree a few days ago to mobilize troops and horses to help Ji Lingzi, and even loaned 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 also narrowed slightly.
This continuous heavy rain is also an unexpected surprise. This is because God is also helping him -
After today, I 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 are all motionless, like statues.
The leaders were Yuan Jiuchen and Ji Lingzi. However, there were two other people standing beside him. They are all wearing armor equivalent to a sixth-level spiritual weapon, with a majestic bearing, exuding a fierce tiger aura, and a faint aura of blood. The servants' mouths and noses. If you look carefully with your spiritual eyes, you can even 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. The strength of the thousand cavalry he commanded was not inferior to that of the Zixiao Sword Cavalry.
The person next to him who was complaining in boredom was equally extraordinary. He was Bo Li, the commander of the Han Dynasty'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, it will be the day when the three million criminals will be executed. I predict that when the action is taken, it will be either today or tomorrow. I will ask you to work hard for two more days. I Tai Ling Sect will be richly rewarded afterwards!"
Only then did Bo Li shut up and looked at Xiao Ze on the other side and smiled. Then he looked at the Li River not far away.
The rain in the past few days has been very heavy, and the flood peak in Lihe has become 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 brilliant lights suddenly fell from a distance in the sky and landed in suspension 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 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 instantly returned to normal, and he nodded: "Exactly! He said that the two of me should 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 army rushed to the front of Ji Lingzi and the other four men, and clasped his fists on his horse 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 would flood the Helian Iron Mountain? What exactly 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, Cangsheng Dao must have built countless large ships?"
The commander of the detective cavalry immediately bowed again, his eyes wide with shock. At that time, there were more than 300 boats with 100,000 stone boats, sailing down the river, and they had also arrived at Helian Iron Mountain!
