Guanzhong County, in the depths of Wu's house.
Mrs. Wu put down the hookah rod in his hand and coughed. The maid behind him gently beat the old man's back with a soft jade hand. After a while, she changed to squeezing her shoulders. The whole process didn't stop for a moment. Obviously it was not the first time. Did it.
Although Mrs. Wu was still coughing, his expression was quite enjoyable. The gentle massage by the young girl made his old tree a little bit about to sprout.
Although in some respects he was unable to do what he wanted, but the man's true nature, Mr. Wu, was brought to the extreme.
Fortunately, he was not the only person in this room, and certain actions that could only happen at night were not performed in front of other people.
"Go down." After Mrs. Wu stopped coughing, he faintly ordered.
The maid said a blessing, "Yes, grandpa."
After the maid left, only a group of old antiques remained in the room.
They are representatives of the six surnames of Guanzhong and the other five surnames.
Gathering together is the most terrifying force in Guanzhong.
To be an exaggeration, destroying this room is equivalent to destroying half of Guanzhong County's combat power.
It's just that the current Wu's house has been firmly protected, and outside this room, there are countless masters standing.
Mrs. Wu asked, "How about the general named Su?"
"It's closed." The Zhou family grandfather said lightly: "The bones are quite hard."
"Don't neglect." Wu Taiye said: "Maybe it will be available in the future. After all, we lack talents in this area. General Su can't fight wars, but resourcefulness is okay."
The grandfather of the Zheng family sneered: "You can be a fart, isn't it caught by us?"
"Don't be proud if you don't get a big event." Wang's grandfather said lightly.
The other Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Qian also nodded one after another, agreeing with the words of Grandpa Wang.
Mrs. Wu raised his hand and pressed down slightly to stop the dispute, and said with a little effort: "Anyway, we finally waited for a good opportunity to rise. Guanzhong County has been dormant for hundreds of years, and finally We have completely changed in our hands. This is a historic moment, and there must be no mistakes. We must unite all the forces that can be united. Of course, those who are stubborn can only be removed."
Grand Master Zhou said, “Datang’s treachery and the promises that were made in those years are no longer left. Since they were unkind, we are naturally unrighteous. But according to my investigation, the one on the dragon chair now seems to be against himself. The Guanzhong bloodline was a bit spurned."
Mrs. Wu said: "It takes time to change the concept, so I can't rush. If he is really disobedient in the future, just change it."
"Agree." The other grandfathers echoed.
"The problem now is that in the city of Chang'an, there are many children from each of our families. In order to control us, Li Hong forcibly ordered each family to send out their informed blood. In name, it was to go to Chang'an to study. In fact, it was control, and according to According to the news from the city of Chang'an, Li Tong assigned Lu Tiansuo to keep an eye on us, and there is no way for us to smuggle these people out of the city." The Zhou family grandfather said, "How can this be good?"
Mrs. Wu said: "It is impossible for any business to only make money without losing money. The key lies in the ratio of profit to loss. Sacrificing these people can exchange for the entire Datang. No matter how we count this transaction, we are all profitable. If you want to calculate the world, what does it matter if you die some blood
However, their deaths are also very valuable, at least involving a lot of energy of the Chang'an defenders. Besides, how did I, Guan Zhong Erlang, ever fear death? If they die irreparably, their names will be engraved on the ancestral book. "
At this time, the grandfather of the Zheng family interjected: "I think, you are too pessimistic about things. Li Tong is tough, but his mother is ours, and Chang'an City will be embarrassed on all sides soon, unless the Li family If you want to be extinct, otherwise you will definitely consider the way out after the country is extinct. What is the way out? Naturally, find a thick thigh to hug?"
"The temple won't accept the Li family, and other countries can't wait to kill the Li family. Then the only thigh that Li Tong can hold is our Guanzhong County. At that time, he should have half of Guanzhong County on his body. I am proud of my blood. As for the children of Guanzhong who are trapped in the city of Chang'an, they have transformed into his comrades. Will Li Tong be stupid enough to attack his comrades?"
Grandpa Wang applauded: "Wonderful, really wonderful! Old Zheng, your analysis has won my heart."
Grandpa Zheng clasped his fists: "Accepting concession."
The Qian’s grandfather, who has not spoken much, said: “You all think that the war will go on smoothly? You all think that Datang will not have the strength to fight back when facing the coalition forces? That is Datang, standing for a thousand years. The Great Tang, the invincible Great Tang, the Great Tang with academies!"
These words were like a basin of cold water, calming down the other elderly people who were ready to cheer.
Mrs. Wu sighed and said: "The old money is right, we still can't be too optimistic. The Tang Dynasty has stood for a thousand years and has gone through thousands of battles, both large and small. Although they have also lost, compared with their victories, they have lost. Those battles are really worthless. For the last minute, we can't relax too much."
The grandfather of the Zhou family was still cold as water, and said: "We are only businessmen in the closure, but this time the business is a little bigger. The real main force is not in us, in the Daomen, in the Six Nations. Especially the Daomen, they want to annex. Datang has been for a long time, and the Xinzhige incident that year made Dao Sect lose face, and Yue Jingyu has not shown his face in Zhongtu for so many years. If Datang is not dead, this shame will not be eliminated. So Dao Sect will definitely do it. Desperately dealt with Datang and attacked Chang'an. What we have to provide is only financial resources, but this is what we lack the most. So, why should we be afraid?"
"Then what if Datang wins in the end?" Someone asked without giving up.
The grandfather of the Zhou family glanced at him and said, "The master is dead."
In simple four words, Tao does its best.
Yes, the master is dead, so it is right for Datang to destroy the country.
Someone looked up at the top.
Although the ceiling is above his head, his sight seems to penetrate the ceiling and see the red moon in the sky.
"You said, why did the master become a red moon?" Zhang's grandfather asked.
Others responded: "Who knows?"
Mrs. Wu said: "Don't you think everything is very ironic? The Master has become a red moon, but he can only watch the destruction of Datang. What a torment? And the sixth gentleman from the academy said The Master’s death cannot be separated from him. If it were not for his desperate protection of the Demon King’s daughter Ye Yixuan, the Master would not fight against the heavens, nor would he provoke the revenge of the heavens. You say, should Mr. Six? Will it really be ours
"
After speaking, the eyes of the others fell on the grandfather of the Zhou family.
All are surnamed Zhou.
"Don't look at me, our family can't get out of this kind of evildoer." Grandpa Zhou hurriedly set aside the relationship.
"Actually, I think we might try to contact that Mr. Six, maybe we will instigate a rebellion? When the time comes, the city of Chang'an may be destroyed without even having to fight." The Zheng family Grandpa said jokingly.
The other old ladies also agreed and laughed out loud.
The room was filled with cheerful air.
A prison in Guanzhong County.
The old general of Su Chunjun has been locked here for more than half a month.
His beard and hair are unkempt, his expression is haggard, he is locked in the corner of the cell, his head is drooping.
The militia guarding outside the cell felt a little pity for the general.
He should be the most frustrated general in the history of Datang.
After a while, a middle-aged man from Wu's family walked to the door of the cell and said to General Su Chunjun: "General Su, how did you think about what you discussed before?"
Su Chunjun did not respond.
The man surnamed Wu frowned and motioned for the soldiers to call the cell.
As the chains were untied, the low cell door was also pushed open, and a soldier walked in and stabbed Su Chunjun with the tail of his spear.
Still no response.
The face of the man surnamed Wu sank instantly.
Is it dead
He bent over and walked into the cell, pushed the soldier away, grabbed Su Chunjun's hair and lifted him up.
Only then did Su Chunjun slowly opened his eyes, but those eyes were full of turbidity, and the brilliance of the past was gone.
The man surnamed Wu snorted and said, "General Su, do you find this interesting?"
Su Chunjun opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.
The man surnamed Wu said, "Bring water."
The soldiers forcibly poured a bowl of cold water into Su Chunjun.
"Can you talk now?" the man surnamed Wu asked.
Su Chunjun leaned against the cold wall: "What do you want to ask?"
"Result." The man surnamed Wu said coldly: "Cooperation or death, I want results."
"Do I have any choice?" Su Chunjun smiled bitterly.
"Yes." The man surnamed Wu said: "Cooperate, you can go out, drink broth, eat barbecue, take a hot bath. If you refuse, all your subordinates will be beheaded. Their bodies will be thrown away. Under the cliff of Qingfeng Gorge, there are no bones in the true sense. General Su has always loved soldiers like a son, so I guess he won't just watch his soldiers being slaughtered."
Su Chunjun said: "Do you know what you are doing?"
The man surnamed Wu said, "Doing business."
"Using Datang Guoyun as a bargaining chip?" Su Chunjun asked rhetorically.
"I don't need to explain this to you, you just have to answer me, cooperate, or die." The man surnamed Wu obviously has no patience: "I am not afraid to tell you that Meng Zhulu is dead."
Su Chunjun's expression suddenly changed: "You killed Marshal Meng?! How can you do this!"
The man surnamed Wu said, "We are businessmen, and businessmen don't kill. The person who killed Meng Zhulu was the painting of Sage Liu Jianbai. Datang has become the enemy of the world, so why should General Su accompany him to hell? "
Su Chunjun closed his eyes in pain, and after a long period of silence, he said with great difficulty: "Okay, I'll cooperate."
