Journey to the West from Daqin

Li Jue said again: "Dare to ask the old general why he visited late at night? Don't say, it's for this cup of tea."

Wang Jian savored the tea carefully and said, "Every time I drink tea, I can understand some truths from it."

Li Jue listened quietly. He knew that Wang Jian must have something to do when he came this time. Since he refused to speak directly, he did not force it.

After hearing the reasoning, Li Jue fell asleep.

Wang Jian finally started to speak, and said: "The news about an hour ago, Baiyue violated the frontier, and it was because of the support of my people from the Central Plains."

Li Jue said: "When I was in Taishan, I already guessed it."

Wang Jian said: "But you definitely don't know who is supporting and who is leading the way."

Li Jue smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid it's supported by people with surnames in my court, and the person who leads the way is probably a remnant of the nobles who are close to Baiyue."

Wang Jian, who was originally calm, suddenly became a little shocked.

He was shocked and said: "Everyone in the world thinks you are scary. During this southern tour, Wang Ben came back and told you that you are like a heavenly being. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it."

Li Jue said with a smile: "However, I don't know who in the court supports Baiyue, and I don't know who the remnants of the nobles are."

In fact, he had a vague guess, but he couldn't say it too bluntly, and in his capacity, it would be inappropriate to tell their identities after all.

Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Finally, there are some things you don't know, but the old man wants you to know."

With a solemn face, he said: "The people in the court hall may be related to Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, and the local nobles may be the old people of Chu State in Jiangdong."

Li Jue suddenly realized that it was so.

However, he pretended to be surprised.

"There is such a thing? It's incredible."

Chapter 290: Great Achievements Overwhelm the Lord

Wang Jian said angrily, "I didn't expect that the old people in Chu were really dishonest. I suspected that they were responsible for the Huaihe oasis incident, but unfortunately there is no evidence."

"What I didn't expect the most is that the person colluding with Baiyue is actually related to Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC."

When he said this, he took a deep look at Li Jue, as if he wanted to see Li Jue's attitude.

but.

Li Jue's complexion was calm, which made Wang Jian a little disappointed.

However, he also praised Li Jue very much, and felt that Li Jue knew about this, not because he was ecstatic or gloating, but it proved that his city was very deep.

Such a person is suitable for the royal family to form an alliance.

Li Jue had also helped him, allowing him to survive, his cultivation had increased, and his lifespan increased by a few years.

It's a pity that living a few more years is not enough. He wants to continue to protect Daqin, but time is not waiting for him.

The purpose of coming to Li Jue this time is actually to find a successor.

Wang Jian said: "Sir, the old man is not here to tell you about these important military matters, but to hope that you will uphold justice and stand up."

Li Jue rolled his eyes, he actually guessed the purpose of Wang Jian's coming here.

He directly refused: "Old General, you think too highly of me, I'm just a mere executioner."

Wang Jian said: "Everyone in the world thinks you are an executioner, but those who really regard you as an executioner will either become the ghosts of your sword or be fools."

He hehe said: "You are so amazing that you are so beautiful. You are a dragon and a phoenix among people. If you are motivated, you will definitely be able to soar into the sky."

Li Jue said: "Old General, you are too polite, I am not interested in power and interests at all."

Wang Jian was very confident, and said with a smile: "I understand your thoughts."

He blinked at Li Jue and smiled slightly, as if I understood you, but Li Jue was instantly chilled.

Wang Jian said to himself: "You must know that the old man once complained that he would not conscript the six countries, and then His Majesty repeatedly asked the old man to send troops. In the end, the old man asked for millions of dollars in food and land before he would send troops. The world said that the old man is greedy."

"Because of this, after the six kingdoms were pacified, the old man was left out in the cold, and his power became worse day by day, and even my son Wang Ben's voice in the court was not as good as that of a Jiuqing."

Li Jue remained silent.

Wang Jian smiled and said, "But you know, did this old man do all this on purpose?"

Li Jue naturally knew about it, but he chose to remain silent, silently watching him pretend.

Wang Jian continued: "The old man is afraid of being overwhelmed by his achievements, so he chose to be greedy and give His Majesty the handle, so that Wang's family can be peaceful for a long time."

Then he said: "Do you feel familiar? Because, that's what you do now. Hehe, how can there be people in the world who don't like power, even the old man desires it, but the old man cherishes life more and values ​​the future."

When he talked about his excitement, he even jumped up against the case, saying: "You know how to hide your strength and bide your time at a young age, which is a good thing, but if the city is too deep and too cautious and low-key, you will lose many opportunities to rise."

Li Jue couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Old General, you really misunderstood me, I really have no desire for power."

Wang Jian still shook his head, he was confident that he saw the right person, after all, he was this kind of person.

Li Jue followed his example.

Continued: "Don't deny it in a hurry, the old man told you that the reason why His Majesty suppressed your rewards is that the rewards are really nothing compared to your merits, do you know why?"

He laughed and said: "That's because His Majesty is afraid that you will rise too fast, and he will not be able to award rewards at that time, and you will be willing to degenerate. You are low-key and cautious, and you are afraid that your achievements will overwhelm the Lord, and there will be no rewards."

Li Jue really wanted to beat up this self-righteous old man, always talking to himself and self-righteously.

I really think everyone is like him, an old fox, but in fact he is just a sixth child.

Wang Jian continued: "Your Majesty is cautious about rewarding you. Apart from being afraid that you will be promoted too quickly, there is another point. He wants to entrust you to the future prince and make you his own person."

"But now that he has obtained the Longevity Pill, and his lifespan is extended, he is not very concerned about this matter. He probably plans to reuse you."

Li Jue turned pale with shock, and quickly asked, "How do you say that?"

He doesn't want to be reused, it's better to continue to eat and wait to die, just chop people and behead him.

Wang Jian said: "The old man came to see you this time, not because of the old man's personal intention, but actually by His Majesty's order, at least the old man thinks so."

Li Jue was startled, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean?"

Wang Jian said: "Your Majesty sent Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo to Baiyue, while Meng Yi and Li Xin guarded the north side, so nothing could go wrong. Only Xu Fu went to sea in the east."

Li Jue's heart skipped a beat, as if he understood something.

Wang Jian said: "Your Majesty intends to let you follow him, but I will give you a choice. One is to follow Xu Fu to the sea, to protect him personally, and to monitor him at the same time. This task is very important."

"The second is that I hope you can go south to supervise Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo, urge them to complete the conquest of Baiyue, and clean up the old people in Chu along the way."

Li Jue suddenly realized that Ying Zheng was asking him to choose what to do.

If they go to sea, they want him to monitor Xu Fu because of his status as a disciple of a worldly master, but also because of his strength and loyalty.

If they attacked Baiyue, the purpose was not Baiyue, but to take this opportunity to wipe out all the nobles in Chu.

Li Jue reckoned that Ying Zheng might have regretted that when he summoned the nobles from Chu in Suzhou, he didn't take them all together, or that he took them all to Xianyang.

Now these people have colluded with Baiyue, making it impossible for Daqin to deal with them.

What's more, Yingzheng Taishan sacrificed to the heavens, and he has already stated that he has committed no crimes to the nobles of the six countries. If they are still under house arrest in Xianyang, it is really unjustifiable.

Li Jue could only take the opportunity to destroy them.

This is probably due to his loyalty, and the fact that he has been to Chu, and even went to the prime minister alone, and went deep into the land of the largest noble family in Chu.

That's it.

Li Jue actually wanted to wipe out these people for Ying Zheng, but it was unrealistic to rely on him to do it, and he didn't have the time and energy.

First of all, the Xiang clan's rebellion has no basis and no evidence. Xiang Yu is still a mortal disciple of the giant spirit god. If he rashly kills them, the impact will be bad.

And going to sea with Xu Fu, needless to say, he has no time to play the game of great voyage with Xu Fu.

Li Jue said, "Old General, I don't want to do both."

Wang Jian said: "It's not your turn to refuse, I'm afraid His Majesty has already prepared for you to choose one."

Li Jue was speechless for a while.

Wang Jian said with a smile: "Today you rejected His Majesty's reward, if you refuse His Majesty's order tomorrow, I'm afraid your head will fall to the ground."

Li Jue was very speechless, and said: "I really don't have time, and I really don't know these things. I actually have things to do."

He hasn't found out yet, who messed up the weather on Mount Tai, how could he have time to do other things.

And he felt that Yingzheng was still alive, and could live for a long time, so the Xiang clan and Baiyue were nothing to be afraid of.

And Ying Zheng was alive, Xu Fu dared not return for several years, there would definitely be a second group of people looking for him, and sooner or later they would be able to find his hiding place.

Ying Zheng could afford to wait.

Both of these are not important, but if he participates in it, it will take a lot of time and energy.

Not worth the candle.

What's more, Li Jue calculated that Sun Wukong might be leaving his teacher soon, and he would definitely return to Huaguo Mountain by then.

Then, it seems that the Havoc in Heaven is not far away.

This feeling is very strong. Although his appearance may have changed many things, even the life trajectory of Monkey King, but Monkey King's character cannot be changed.

In the future, the riots in the Heavenly Palace and the study of Buddhist scriptures in the Western Paradise will be caused by some people's schemes at a big scale, and it will be caused by Monkey King's character at a low level.

And someone's calculations also took advantage of Monkey King's character and calculated Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong's character has huge flaws. When he was weak, he would follow the rules and respect his teachers.

And when he is strong, he will be arrogant, defiant, and arrogant. Such a person is the easiest to be used by others.

In other words, as long as Sun Wukong becomes stronger, he will definitely want to strive for enough status and gain enough benefits.

So no matter whether he is practicing with Patriarch Bodhi or Li Jue, if his strength is in place, he will make a big disturbance in the heavenly palace.

Li Jue was not even confident that he could stop him.

And what he can do is to improve his strength before Monkey King makes troubles in the Heavenly Palace, so as to avoid being implicated by Monkey King at that time.

Wang Jian never expected that Li Jue would think so far after refusing repeatedly.

He simply felt that Li Jue's refusal was because he didn't want to give credit to others, and even Li Jue's refusal was to prove that Li Jue had the confidence to complete the task, and he just didn't want to take so much credit.

Wang Jian stood up and said with a smile, "Your Majesty will look for you tomorrow, you can't escape."

Then leave.
