"Yes, the royal family has always wanted to win over one of the Hashim family or the Kordo family. In this way, even if they have enough capital to compete with Khawalij in terms of the number of nobles... You haven't said what they want. What are you doing? You are not someone who is easily frightened. What did they say to you that made you suddenly turn around and show your kindness to my father?" Saleh turned his head and realized that this guy was changing his ways again. Telling the story of the power distribution and grudges of the big food aristocrats from his own mouth.
Just like in their Tang Dynasty! Just like on the boat, when he faced that innocent face who pretended to be harmless, with the same virtuous expression as he had now, he unknowingly got rid of almost all the friend-enemy relationships among the food nobles. .
Now this guy wants to repeat his old tricks again and get more information about the Khawalij family from him!
The Khawalij family is definitely the most powerful among the eleven nobles. They are no less powerful than the Umayyad family and can fight against the royal family on their own.
Don’t forget, the position of the King of Dashi was passed from the hands of the Khawalij family to the Umayyad family through a false “God’s ruling”.
Moreover, the power of the Khawalij family has been slowly accumulated by several generations of food monarchs during the change of dynasties. Their power is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.
The care of several generations of monarchs and the accumulation of generations have enabled the Khawalij family to branch out in the vast land of Dashi.
And the most frightening and alarming thing is that each of these branch families maintains absolute support and loyalty to the main family. Some branch families are even close to catching up with or surpassing the original power in power. Some of the eleven major families are powerful.
So you can imagine why this huge family, this behemoth, makes Aviyeh sleepless and wants to try his best to win over the Hashim family, a direct competitor, to fight against the Khawalij family.
"That's all I know. In order to convince me of their sincerity in wanting to cooperate with me and to show me the strength of their family, they said that I would see some surprises from different parts of the Dashi Empire in the past few days. Seeing how powerful their family is, so..." Li Hong stood at the door of the palace and said goodbye to Saleh with a relaxed expression.
"You don't believe what they say. You think they are weak and will not be your loyal partner, but you also want to take back Jiling City. Faced with the huge temptation, you are considering whether to cooperate with them or take risks. So. You come here to talk to me, and then decide whether to cooperate with whom?" Saleh's face turned green. He had just quarreled with this shameless bastard for some reason, and then he got excited and confided in Hawa. The Liggie family told the whole story.
"My original intention of coming to you is not to talk to you, but because of the relationship between Ye Yue and I. I hope you can relay what I said to your father, so that your father will look at you differently, or... In this way, you Father will be happy to give you more rights to deal with more conflicts between other nobles. I am friends with you and I want to help you." Li Hong said at the end and punched Sa hard. Lihe's chest seemed to have received a shot of cardiotonic on his heart under the clothes!
"You want to help me? What do you mean?"
"Because of Yeyue!" Li Hong waved his hand gracefully and got into the carriage.
Saleh was left standing at the door of the palace, thinking about Li Hong's words just now, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time, feeling as if a door was gradually opening to him.
I feel that one day, I can become the protagonist of the power struggle like Li Hong and Hassan. Maybe one day, I can become the monarch of Dashi without having to wait for my father to abdicate.
Although Li Hong could not accurately grasp Saleh's thoughts, he believed that Saleh had absolute ambitions for the position of King of Food, and he did not want to have more competitors besides himself, so no matter No matter what angle he stood at, Saleh would not be willing for Awiyeh to cooperate with the Hashemite family, and he was even less willing to see either Hassan or Sultan become his rival for the position of the King of Food.
In the next few days, Yeyue was like a caged magpie being released, running into the tenement building every day, and being with Li Hongni every day. As for the secret fights between the various families in the capital city, it seemed that they were fighting against each other. There is no relationship between the two.
It was precisely because of Ye Yue's accompanying testimony that when various assassinations began to occur one after another among the Dashi nobles, Li Hong was able to get rid of various suspicions and prove to the Dashi nobles that all things had nothing to do with him. .
The weather was a bit gloomy, and even the sun, which had been groggy and confused all day, was lifeless and "clocked out" early.
Darkness enveloped the Dashi Capital City earlier than usual, and the gloomy weather began to turn into dark clouds. The cool breeze gradually accelerated, urging the people of the Dashi Capital City to finish work quickly.
The Great Food City has always been known as the Garden on Earth. The dust-carrying wind blowing from the desert has been weakened by the obstruction of Mount Cassin and Salicia Mountain, making the wind blowing to the capital clear. It doesn't look like it's mixed with gravel.
This also makes this city with humid winters and little rain in summer, people often rejoice when there is a storm, and a kind of joy like rain after a long drought will fill people's hearts.
A rainy day is the most enjoyable time for people who have worked hard for a day. Every tavern will be filled with the sounds of various styles of music, and the wonderful dances will spin in front of the laughing people.
Different from other places, the tenement building, which was supposed to be a gathering place for the nobles of the food capital, was like a ferocious beast, silently lurking at the crossroads.
Looking at Ye Yue as the weather was getting worse and worse, she was scowling about whether to go back to the palace when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder, and then Li Hong's serious voice sounded in her ears: "Follow me, something is going to happen. "
"What's wrong?" Yeyue was shocked, but she seemed to feel a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.
In fact, her heart has been hanging around these days. She always feels that the capital city is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface, so the calmer it becomes, the more uneasy she feels. Now she hears Li Hong say something is going to happen, Ye Yue But despite being shocked, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not clear yet, but it's possible that your brother Wang is seeking death." Li Hong frowned, took Ye Yue's arm and walked out.
However, the eunuch Qingqiu, who was always closely following Yeyue, unexpectedly did not follow Yeyue this time. Instead, he quickly gathered in the garden of the tenement building with a hundred members of the personal guard led by Yu Tuqi. Together.
Following Li Hong's order, Qingqiu saluted like Li Hong, took the lead in getting on his horse, and then led the way. People began to surround Yeyue and Li Hong, and galloped out of the main entrance of the tenement building in a swagger.
"Where are you going?" Yeyue, who was veiled, found it much easier to speak than Li Hong on a windy day.
Li Hong covered his mouth and looked at Ye Yue on the horse next to him, and then suddenly rode his horse closer to Ye Yue. When Ye Yue exclaimed and slapped Li Hong, he felt his chest tighten and was grabbed by the pervert. , and saw the pervert holding a silk handkerchief for his personal use.
Li Hong looked at Ye Yue, who was angry and staring, and put the silk handkerchief he just picked up from the beauty's chest to the tip of his nose and smelled it. Then he followed Ye Yue's example and covered the silk handkerchief. on his own face.
"Disgusting!" Yeyue's face felt shy, and she became a little uncomfortable because of Li Hong's actions.
"Let me ask you, what happened to your other brother Wang? Why haven't you seen him during this time?" Li Hong suddenly asked Yeyue, who had not yet realized that he had taken advantage of her.
"Ah? Brother Er Wang?" Yeyue asked with a strange expression.
"Yes, didn't your three brothers die inexplicably on the way to the Tang Dynasty? But why have I never seen your other brother besides Saleh?" Li Hong continued to ask road.
Yeyue's brother Cassim, the third king, died under the crossbow when he went to Anxi, but now it has been ten years and no one is pursuing it anymore.
When Saleh came to Datang for the first time, he wanted to take this opportunity to make enemies with Datang. In the end, he had a fight with himself and ran back to Dashi in despair. No one mentioned this matter again. .
Saleh has great feelings for Qasim. According to this inference, he should also have great feelings for his second son. However, since he came to Dashi, he has never seen the second prince of Dashi: Malik.
"Are you going to find him?" Yeyue discerned the direction on the horse, and then thought about why Li Hong asked Qingqiu to lead the way, she instantly understood Li Hong's intention, but she was very strange, Li Hong was looking for her. Brother, what's the matter
"Why did your brother, the Second Prince, not live in the capital, nor was he sent to any province by your father, but why did you choose to live at the foot of Salicia Mountain? Why?" Li Hong continued to ask.
Yeyue's eyes flickered with complexity, and Li Hong couldn't see the expression on her face because of the black gauze. However, Yeyue on horseback said after a while: "I don't know, but it should be related to the order of succession. Bar."
"Salih doesn't like Malik? Or Malik doesn't like Saleh?" Li Hong continued to ask.
When I was in Saleh's palace two days ago, I was inquiring about whether the Khawarij family was powerful or not, and I suddenly discovered this question. Why have I never seen Malik
Regarding this topic, Li Hong once asked Saleh insinuatingly, but he was ignored by Saleh without any trace.
And just as he received the message from Jingwei, Saleh suddenly led more than ten generals from the palace and quietly went to a mansion under Salicia Mountain outside the capital.
