In the quiet courtyard of the royal family, a guard is patrolling outside the window. It seems that he is blind and deaf. wearing something.
"He is too suspicious, so he doesn't need to design anything, he will jump out and take the initiative to design." Li Yunrui slowly closed his eyes and said: "And he is very arrogant, so arrogant that he can use his tricks... What kind of shit! Where is there any plan?" , He was simply playing there by himself.”
She suddenly opened her eyes and said: "It's just... I was afraid that my brother would be lonely, so I had no choice but to play with him. Dadongshan's assassination... seems to have become a ridiculous thing on the surface. He knew that I was going to kill him. Waiting for me to kill him, knowing he was waiting for me to kill him, but still going to kill him is really funny."
Yuan Hongdao listened to this tongue twister and looked at the smile on the corner of the eldest princess's lips, but he didn't think it was funny. Instead, he felt a slight chill. Knowing that Dadongshan was a game, the eldest princess jumped in without hesitation. Could it be that she really Think Ye Liuyun, a great master, can change the whole world
Although after Huang Yi's death, he had become Li Yunrui's closest counselor, he knew that although the eldest princess seemed to have been forced back step by step by her Majesty and Fan Xian in the past two years, and was released from the hands of the incompetent, she was still in a conspiracy. On the other hand, there is really not much need for yourself.
It is also because of this that he has not figured out the details of the eldest princess' final plan, so naturally he has no way of reporting to the dean and His Majesty the emperor.
But as a counselor, at this critical moment, Yuan Hongdao had to give some suggestions, whether it was to pretend or win people's trust, so he looked into the eyes of the eldest princess and said softly: "Interesting, at a certain These moments are a combination of absurdity and stupidity... I don't know which side is more absurd and which side is more stupid, but since His Majesty is the one who made the first move, then you should choose another path. The chess piece will always be one step slower than the person on the other side of Shiping."
The Eldest Princess Li Yunrui slowly closed her eyes, and after a long silence said, "Another way? You are persuading me not to move for the time being."
"Exactly."
The eldest princess suddenly opened her eyes and smiled, with an extremely innocent smile: "What's the use of not moving? If Dadongshan's sacrifice to heaven ends smoothly...the queen mother will always go one day, do you expect me to be imprisoned forever? In this other courtyard."
Yuan Hongdao was silent for a while and then smiled. Since he can easily enter this other courtyard, the eldest princess must have many ways to easily leave this other courtyard. He knows that the eldest princess is only thinking about the future situation of Qing Kingdom, From which point of view, if the opportunity of His Majesty to leave Beijing is not seized, what chance will the eldest princess have if she wants to make a comeback
"Fan Xian." Yuan Hongdao tried to persuade the eldest princess. Before receiving further instructions from the courtyard, he would of course want to delay the eldest princess's actions as long as possible. "This is your chance."
"Fan Xian?" The eldest princess became interested and said with a smile, "Even if His Majesty wants to cut Fan Xian's power in the future, this will not be an opportunity for me."
"It's not as simple as cutting power." Yuan Hongdao said in a low voice, "Fan Xian's relationship with the North is too close, and Your Majesty... once the internal conflicts in the court are subdued, the blade will definitely be directed at the Northern Qi. What will Fan Xian do at this time? If you do it, it’s worth considering, maybe it’s your chance then.”
"So I have to live?" The eldest princess laughed at herself.
"You must live."
She smiled lazily, without commenting, and tapped the teacup on the table with her orchid-like fingers. When Yuan Hongdao got up to pour tea for her, the woman slowly lowered her eyelids, thinking quietly that Yuan Hongdao's thoughts were not wrong, but he didn't understand what kind of character the emperor was.
In this world, only the eldest princess, Li Yunrui, knows best what kind of person her emperor's brother is, and she is the only one who knows that this is the opportunity given to her by the emperor, and if she doesn't seize this opportunity, nothing will happen to her. Need to mention again.
The emperor had too many opportunities to kill himself, but if he didn't kill him, he naturally hoped to attract some people through himself. Junshan would have those people who had been hidden in the government and the opposition, some old monster...
She thought in her heart, if she won, it would be nothing, but even if she lost, it would be good for His Majesty the Emperor to achieve his goal... Thinking of this, a self-sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her lips again.
…
…
"Brother Hongdao, when you talk about killing people, what is the final competition?" The princess looked at him with a smile.
Yuan Hongdao thought for a while and said: "Time, opportunity, general trend."
"Not bad, but it's wrong again." The eldest princess lowered her head slowly, and said, "Actually, in the end, the comparison is the most crude, boring and direct things, to see whose knife is faster and whose thugs are better. some more."
"Competing for the dragon chair is actually no different from gangs competing for territory in the rivers and lakes... Your Majesty is arrogant and suspicious, thinking that he can calculate the world, but he forgot one thing, not all the knives are in his hands, don't forget I said a word before, because of his suspicion, he will definitely lose."
The indifferent words of the eldest princess set the tone for the whole matter.
…
…
Yuan Hongdao smiled, knowing that he could no longer persuade the eldest princess, he was inevitably a little anxious, but he concealed it very well, and said: "The crown prince and the second highness have almost contacted each other, and we will start making arrangements as soon as the news arrives. There shouldn't be any problem with it, sad news is always the most shocking to the defenses of these civil servants... and no matter from which point of view, they have no reason to refuse."
"What you said makes sense." The Eldest Princess smiled and said, "The Overwatch Council is always shady. They are very powerful tools, but they can never become a decisive force at certain times. Only the courtiers support them. With the support from the palace, what use is Chen Pingping going to do?"
Then she smiled and said: "I heard that Wan'er has been taking care of the concubine who is about to give birth... Let's arrange this matter."
———————————
On the top of Dadong Mountain, Fan Xian looked at the man sitting on the futon outside the door, the blind man who was covered with a black cloth, not very tall, but always looked so calm, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. What came out.
The emperor smiled, turned and left, leaving this place to their uncle and nephew.
Fan Xian walked in, closed the door carefully, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then he indulged his joyful expression, hugged the blind man, and patted him on the back lightly.
Wuzhu still looks indifferent, this kind of indifference is different from Mr. Xiaoyan, it is not a kind of emotional release of self-protection, but a kind of impression brought by the absolute peace of mind that is not tied to the heart.
But when Fan Xian hugged him tightly and was ecstatic, the blind man showed a very rare gentle smile behind his head that Fan Xian couldn't see.
It's a pity that Fan Xian didn't see it, otherwise he would have made some abnormal moves.
Wuzhu is not a person who likes to have physical intimacy with others, and so is Fan Xian. It's just a reunion after a long absence. Fan Xian can't suppress the joy in his heart and indulges in a hug.
The two sat on the futons separately, "looking" at each other, and were quiet for a long time without speaking.
Fan Xian's face became more and more gentle and happy, confirming that the blind uncle's injury was almost healed, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, where to start. After separating a year and a half ago, he went south to Douming's house in the south of the Yangtze River, was killed by a sniper in the valley, and killed people overnight in the capital.
However... All this is probably not what Uncle Wu Zhu wants to hear. These things are nothing to Wu Zhu. Wu Zhu doesn't care about what the Ming family is. Dangers abounded, and Wu Zhu would only think that Fan Xian's performance was very poor.
So after holding back for a long time, Fan Xian said, "Uncle, I'm going to be a father."
…
…
Wu Zhu, who didn't change his expression even when he was on the top of Dadongshan, fell silent very rarely after hearing these words, as if he was slowly digesting the news, then he tilted his head slightly and said, "You ...to have a baby too?"
This is also a word, I don’t know how much information it contains. For Wuzhu, there are only two people in this world. Yes, although there are thousands of people, there are only two people for him, and nothing else exists. Only the things about these two people are worth remembering.
Twenty years ago, the woman gave birth to a child, and twenty years later, the woman gave birth to a child. Although the two events were separated by twenty years, in his feeling, they seemed to be two consecutive events, so There is only that word.
Then a gentle smile bloomed on the corner of his lips again, and he said to Fan Xian seriously, "Congratulations."
Because of this smile and these two words, Fan Xian naturally fell into infinite shock and joy. He couldn't figure out how he would say such a vulgar word after not seeing Uncle Wuzhu for more than a year. , and he did not hesitate to show his most humane side in front of himself—when was the last time I saw Uncle Wu Zhu’s smile? Probably he was still talking about his mother in that grocery store in Danzhou City.
Fan Xian didn't know why his heart was warm, he seemed to feel that Wu Zhu was finally willing to smile for himself, not just because of Ye Qingmei, this was something worth remembering.
Wu Zhu's smile immediately subsided, and he returned to his usual appearance, and said seriously: "You have to say congratulations when you are about to have a baby. This is what the young lady taught me. I haven't forgotten it, so don't be surprised."
Fan Xian smiled wryly and was speechless, but said again: "This should be an emotion from the heart, we don't need to remember it."
Wuzhu turned his face to the mural in the temple, and said, "For me, this is a difficult thing, for you, you are too happy too early."
The thin and opaque black cloth was tied over his eyes, making the bridge of his nose look extraordinarily straight, and what he said next was also so straightforward: "The time is wrong."
…
…
The meaning of this sentence is too simple and too mysterious, and ordinary people would not understand it, but Fan Xian, who lived with Wu Zhu since he was a child, easily understood the meaning hidden in these four words. He smiled wryly, nodded, and acknowledged Uncle Wu Zhu's judgment.
The emperor worshiped the heavens on Mount Dadong. If someone really dared to rebel, then Mount Dadong would be the most dangerous place in the world, and correspondingly, Kyoto would naturally be the second most dangerous place in the world. Fan Xian was far away by the sea at this time, so he couldn't care less about the situation in the capital. If the eldest princess and the princes really had the courage to do that, then for Fan Xian, a die-hard royalist on the surface... What means
Wan'er is the eldest princess's biological daughter, Fan Xian is not very worried, but what about Sisi and the child that is about to be born in her womb? Even if the emperor made a lot of money in Dongshan, if the capital is in chaos, what kind of damage will those people in Fan Mansion, those people Fan Xian is worried about, suffer
This was the root cause of Fan Xian's shock and worry after seeing the emperor in Danzhou, but it was impossible for him to express anything in front of the emperor, and only after Wu Zhu directly revealed the root cause did his expression reveal the truth in his heart Emotions are heavy.
"The dean and father are in Beijing, so there shouldn't be any major problems." He seemed to want to convince Uncle Wu Zhu, but also seemed to be comforting himself.
"The emperor has not allowed Chen Pingping and Fan Jian to take charge of the army. This is a problem." Wu Zhu's words still had no inference, only the result. He lowered his head and said indifferently: "You may return to the capital immediately at this time, maybe there is still time."
Yes, even if there is a rebellion in the capital, there is always a need for a name. The emperor's assassination and death must find a scapegoat to bear. Therefore, the time of the change in the capital must be about fifteen days after the Dadongshan incident.
Now that Fan Xian hastened back to the capital, there should be still time.
Wu Zhu said: "You are here, it's useless."
After Fan Xian thought for a while, he suddenly said, "My role seems to have been completed the moment I saw you."
When he went up to Dadong Mountain, entered the old small temple, and saw the five bamboos, Fan Xian understood why His Majesty ordered him to accompany him to sacrifice to the heavens, why he wanted to block him in Danzhou, and brought himself up to Dadong Mountain. .
Just like what the emperor said before, since this game is aimed at Ye Liuyun, he needs Wuzhu's participation. Not only will Wuzhu not leave Dadongshan because of the emperor's plan, but even if he is on Dadongshan, if he doesn't want to deal with Ye Liuyun If he makes a move, he won't make a move—the emperor can order everyone in the world, but he can't order Wu Zhu—so the emperor needs Fan Xian's help to help him persuade Wu Zhu to participate in this matter.
"Your Majesty brought me to see you, you must know what it means." Fan Xian looked at Wu Zhu and said with his head down.
"You know it too." Wu Zhu said.
Fan Xian raised his head slowly, with a very complicated expression on his face, and said after a while: "I have been in Beijing for three and a half years, and I have done a lot of things, but in fact, I know that these things are all taken advantage of by certain people. I... And now, those people are using me to use you. I'll just let it go, because I have something to ask for, but you don't want anything in this world, so it's unfair to you. "
"There is nothing fair or unfair in the world." Wu Zhu said calmly: "The key is whether this matter is good for you."
Fan Xian noticed something very strange. After being separated from Uncle Wuzhu for more than a year, the blind uncle seems to talk a lot more than before, and his expression is a little richer. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty threw himself into this crisis. If we don't help him, he will be beheaded by Ye Liuyun with a single sword... Things will go awry. He is using his own life and the turmoil in the world to force us to Help him."
"Even if we don't care about these two points, I must care about the safety of those people in the capital." After a pause, Fan Xian said with a wry smile: "If Ye Liuyun makes a move, the eldest princess must have reached an agreement with the second prince in the capital. We can't Let them succeed."
After Wu Zhu was silent for a while, he said, "Say it directly."
Fan Xian sat down seriously in front of him, and said sincerely, "Uncle, please save His Majesty's life. As for Ye Liuyun, don't worry about it."
Wu Zhu nodded directly.
Fan Xian was relieved, the emperor could use him, but he didn't want to use Uncle Wu Zhu. He only had a few relatives in this world, and he didn't want to mix too much with other things. Letting Uncle Wuzhu take action does not mean that Fan Xian is not worried about Uncle Wuzhu's safety, because the change before the sacrifice to heaven must be the biggest shock in this continent in twenty years, even if Uncle Wuzhu has the support of a great master Cultivation, but it may not be easy to please.
But Fan Xian wasn't very worried, because this temple was on a high mountain cliff, even if Uncle Wu Zhu lost in the end, he would just jump into the sea, this method, Ye Liuyun and those big bulls would chase after him even if they flattered him not on.
"I should go down the mountain at this time." Fan Xian said with his head lowered. He didn't have many qualifications to speak in the upcoming event, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to go crazy and take risks with His Majesty the Emperor.
But he knew that the emperor would not let him go down the mountain. This method of kidnapping hostages was used well to mobilize Uncle Wu Zhu to his use. If Ye Liuyun's sword was occasionally deflected and pointed at Fan Xian, even if Wu Zhu didn't want to make a move It doesn't work either.
"If the other party makes a move, he will definitely hurry up before the sacrifice ceremony is completed... I will try to persuade His Majesty to let me go down the mountain later." Fan Xian frowned and said, "The matter here is over, please come to me as soon as possible."
Speaking of this matter, he looked at Uncle Wu Zhu's face and asked in a daze: "I don't know what is so special about the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven, what is the symbolic effect, but I am curious, uncle, is it true that you have been Rehabilitate your wounds in Dadongshan?"
Wu Zhu nodded.
"It is said that Dadongshan is magical, is it true?" Fan Xian looked at the black cloth on his face and asked earnestly, frowning.
Wu Zhu said, "I don't know if it's useful for those people's illnesses, but it's very good for my recovery."
Fan Xian's heart trembled slightly, he didn't understand this sentence, and asked, "Why?"
"The vitality of Dadongshan is so strong that it surpasses any other place in the world." Wu Zhu said.
Fan Xian frowned more and more tightly: "I can't feel it."
"You can only feel the true energy in your body." Wu Zhu said, "The energy in the world is not so easy to capture."
After a pause, he said, "Ku He once practiced Western spells, he should be able to feel it."
Fan Xian was silent, and suddenly thought of those two tasteless sorcerers who occasionally appeared in his life. He seemed to have vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't connect the whole clue. Spells... This is such a distant and strange word. He had thought of practicing spells when he was young, but on this continent, no one is proficient in this point. Even Ku He is more of a collection of theoretical knowledge Research.
At this time, the night was getting darker, the temperature on the top of the mountain was dropping slowly, the insects in the grass had been frozen and stopped their chirping, and the several temples gradually condensed into a chilling aura. Fan Xian looked up at the temple in a daze. The murals painted on the four walls, those pictures that are basically similar to those of the Qing Temple in Kyoto, made him a little lost.
Fan Xian was full of curiosity about the temple and the Qing Temple that followed its style. Originally, he really wanted to ask Uncle Wu Zhu, but the urgent situation prevented him from staying for too long.
He stood up, bowed to Wuzhu, and said in a low voice: "On this mountaintop, it doesn't matter whoever dies, you can't die."
Wu Zhu didn't answer this sentence, but turned his ear, and then stretched out half of his right hand from his sleeve, and pressed it directly to the ground, not moving.
After a while, Wuzhu said quietly: "You can't go down the mountain anymore."
…
…
"You convinced him." The emperor stood on the edge of the dark cliff with his hands behind his back. There were clouds in the sky today, hiding the moon behind the thick clouds, and the blue sea far below the cliff was as deep as ink. Only one or two very faint spots of light can be seen faintly, which should be the naval ships escorted by the Jiaozhou Navy.
Fan Xian walked behind the emperor, frowned slightly, and almost fell in the afternoon. How did the emperor acquire his courage? However, the situation was urgent, and he did not answer the emperor's question, but said directly: "Your Majesty, there are cavalry attacking from the mountain."
The emperor turned around slowly, with a smile on his face, without questioning how Fan Xian knew what was happening at the foot of the mountain from the top of the mountain, and said gently, "Really? How many people are there?"
"I don't know." Fan Xian lowered his head and replied, "I think that since the enemy is attacking, we should immediately send Tiger Guards to break through and ask for help from the local area."
The emperor looked at him quietly, did not agree to his words, but said slowly: "I have something else for you to do."
At this moment, a rocket at the foot of the mountain pierced through the night sky with a whoosh, lighting up a little of the sky, and notifying the urgent enemy situation at the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain at this time, there was probably already a scene of killing and blood flying everywhere. The most daring act of killing the king in the history of the Qing Kingdom had just begun.
"Report!" The deputy commander of the forbidden army ran out of the camp on the top of the mountain, knelt in front of the emperor, and quickly reported what happened at the foot of the mountain, but the top and the foot of the mountain were so far apart that it was impossible to fully understand the specific situation with just a few arrows.
The deputy commander's face was pale, and he was sweating profusely in the cold wind at night. He only knew that there was an enemy attacking at the foot of the mountain, and this fact was enough to make him lose his head. He really couldn't figure out how these incoming troops arrived at the foot of Dadong Mountain without alerting the local government, and under the cover of night, they launched a fierce and tragic offensive against the two thousand forbidden troops at the foot of the mountain.
Without any specific content, Fan Xian looked at the lips of the vice-commander of the Forbidden Army moving up and down, but he couldn't hear a single word in his ears, like a ridiculous silent picture.
It is indeed ridiculous that the majestic king of a country is surrounded by Dadong Mountain deep in the border!
…
…
The sound of killing could not reach the high mountain top at all, and the smell of blood could not waft up. The peak of Dadong Mountain was still clear and bright. At this time, in the night sky very close to the mountain top, the thick cloud suddenly dissipated, revealing a The moon is coming.
The moonlight shone like a silver light on the emperor and Fan Xian on the top of the mountain. Fan Xian squinted his eyes slightly. Looking at the god-like figure of the emperor shrouded in the moonlight, he became nervous and excited. , I saw a small boat floating in the sea in the distance.
The boat undulates in the waves, swims forward in the moonlight, and heads towards Dadongshan.
The top of the mountain was far away from the sea, but Fan Xian still felt the boat.
Because Ye Liuyun was standing on the boat.
