Everlasting prosperity

In Gaoan Taiyuan Wangcheng——

Rong Chizi was wearing a thin robe, leaning against the edge of the door, holding a letter in his hand, frowning tightly.

Zongzhengyuan wanted him to persuade Yu Linyuan to form an alliance with Jiuzhao and take down Great Wu.

But he has already agreed to Yu Linyuan, and will not do anything to hurt him again.Now this letter of alliance, how is he going to talk to Yu Linyuan?

A hundred years ago, Jiuzhao and Gao'an fought a war without gunpowder smoke, which made the two countries confront each other in the court of Yongqing for a hundred years. It's going to turn into a war.

Now, Zongzhengyuan, as Emperor Jiuzhao, proposed to form an alliance with Gao'an, the world's enemy, to conspire with Great Wu.

It means that no matter how much Rong Chizi conceals it, Yu Linyuan will know Zong Zhengyuan's true intention sooner or later.If not, it would be tantamount to telling Zong Zhengyuan that Rong Chizi not only exposed the province, but also betrayed the Jiuzhao Kingdom.If he agrees, he will betray Yu Linyuan and completely put him in a place where there will be no redemption.

How is he going to do it?

Slowly?Change again?

Rong Chizi thought over and over again, his heart was full of irritability.He looked up into the night.

He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with horror.Then he turned around and walked to the table, picked up the pen, dipped it in a little ink, and took a deep breath to write straight.

A Yuan, I gave you everything I have, so don't let me down.

"Wild Willow." Rong Chizi called out.

But the words had fallen, and the man in black did not appear in front of Rong Chizi as usual.

"Wild Willow." Rong Chizi called out again.

The man in black still didn't show up.

At this time, Rong Chizi suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and panicked for no reason.He remembered that Maoliu once said about Ghost Shadow Hall, but if he was asked to say anything, he kept his mouth tightly shut and refused to reveal half a word.He always felt that the Ghost Shadow Hall should be a difficult organization to mess with, and he didn't know who was manipulating it behind the scenes.

"My lord, Elf Liu has already left the king. From now on, his subordinates will take over his duties." A man in black suddenly knelt in front of Rong Chizi, his voice was clear and unfamiliar.

Rong Chizi looked at the person in front of him, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you from Ghost Shadow Hall?"

"Return to the lord, the subordinates belong to the lord, and the code name is Ciyue." The man in black replied respectfully.

"Okay, you should bring this letter to your majesty." Rong Chizi said as he handed the letter to Ciyue.

"Yes." Ciyue took the letter, responded briefly, and then disappeared.

Was it originally Zongzhengyuan's subordinates?

Thinking about it, he also suspected Ghost Shadow Hall.That's right, this ghost hall is said to be the number one shadow hall in the world, and the royal families of all countries are vying to get the shadow that ranks high on the list to work for themselves at any cost.Thinking about it carefully, the shadows of this Ghost Shadow Hall can be said to spread all over the world.

In other words, the behind-the-scenes of Ghost Shadow Hall has almost mastered the internal affairs of all countries in the world, which really makes people feel a chill down the spine.If the people behind the scenes want to use this information to do something, wouldn't it be a situation where the world is in chaos and the countries are subverted?

Thinking of this, Rong Chizi couldn't help but feel like falling into an abyss, like an ice cellar.

too frightening.

"Knock knock knock."

There were several knocks on the door.

"What's the matter?" Rong Chizi raised his head, looked outside the door, and asked.

"My lord, you are here." The servant lowered his head and said respectfully.

Rong Chizi paused for a moment, then glanced out the window, at this time?

"Okay, wait for me to change." Rong Chizi hurriedly got up to put on his clothes, and responded.

"No need."

Suddenly, a steady and powerful voice came, and then Yu Linyuan, who was dressed in black, appeared in front of him.

Rong Chizi looked at the visitor in puzzlement, and asked, "Why is your lord looking for me at this time? What happened?"

Hearing this, Yu Linyuan stretched out his hand to embrace him, leaned forward, and said softly, "I want to see you, so I'm here. You won't blame me, will you?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to see me, just send someone to call me. Why bother to come to the door in person?" Rong Chizi frowned slightly and asked.

Yu Linyuan laughed lightly, stretched out his hand and picked up the man vigorously, facing him, raised his head to look at him, and said, "You blame me?"

"Don't dare, what you do is right." Rong Chizi looked down at the person in front of him, a little helpless.

Hearing this, Yu Linyuan was as happy as a child who got candied haws, a bright smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and a gleam of light shone in his eyes.

"Chizi, that's what you said, everything I do is right."

Rong Chizi, who hadn't realized what it meant, felt dizzy for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a warm tent.

In the middle of the night, the wind is warm, the lights are bright, the curtains are fluttering, and the words are whispered.

In the Palace of Jiuzhao and Jiuan——

Zongzhengyuan pinched the letter in his hand fiercely, narrowed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, what did Lord Rong say?" Cai Wenjun looked at Zongzhengyuan in front of him, faintly feeling that the alliance was hopeless, and the emperor's expression was so gloomy and terrifying that he had to ask cautiously.

"Some people, I'm afraid they don't want to come back." Zongzheng Yuan put the letter on the oil lamp, lit it immediately, and said coldly.

Hearing this, Cai Wenjun's heart skipped a beat, as expected, but this Rong Chizi is a member of Jiuzhao after all, why on earth is he defecting now, betraying the main country, and taking refuge in Gao'an?

"Lord Cai, you still need to go to Gao'an for this matter." Zong Zhengyuan looked at Cai Wenjun and said in a deep voice.

"Minister, obey the order." Cai Wenjun arched his hands in a bow, and replied respectfully.

Cai Wenjun, who used to be the government office of Xizhou, because he solved the private iron case, Zong Zhengyuan naturally transferred this person to his side.This man is a rare talent in terms of talent, learning, and strategy. Zong Zhengyuan also knew through Yang An that he is a man who is upright but understands the world. Don't remember the person who stepped on him back then.

Really a great helper.

After giving an order to Cai Wenjun, Zongzhengyuan wrote another letter and handed it to him. After the court, Cai Wenjun held Zongzhengyuan's jade handle, packed his bags overnight, and hurried to Taiyuan City, Gao'an.

Zongzhengyuan walked slowly to the bedroom, thinking constantly in his heart.

He suddenly remembered what Rong Chizi had said when he infiltrated Gao'an many years ago, and felt restless and angry.

"Your servant must do his best!"

Back then, he promised his father in this way, but now?The sentence "Near Gao Anxinjun has no intention of war, the minister may not be able to return to the court as scheduled"

It is to forget all the words of those years!

In the end, it is impossible to grasp the people who are sent out all the time.

The more Zongzhengyuan thought about it, the angrier he became, and the faster his steps.He dashed into the bedroom, walked straight behind the screen, and squeezed in without waiting for the stone door to be fully opened.

Jiu Ye, who was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed in the stone room, did not notice the surging people coming from outside the stone room.

"Zongzhengyuan! You must be sick!"

Jiuye, who was suddenly thrown to the ground, suddenly woke up, looked at Zongzheng Yuan who was inexplicably angry, and cursed.

Hearing these words, Zongzheng Yuan stared at Jiuye on the ground with his eyes full of determination, he stretched out his hand and picked up the long whip hanging on the side, and whipped it down involuntarily.

Seeing the long whip approaching, Jiu Ye dodged subconsciously, stood up in embarrassment, and looked at the madman who suddenly became angry.He knew that it must be someone who didn't know how to look up and annoyed him again. Ever since he escaped from the emperor's tomb and was arrested that day, this lunatic would go crazy and beat him up every time he encountered something that didn't go his way. yourself, or doing something weird.

Afterwards, however, he cheekily leaned over to apologize, his face full of apologies.

Repeatedly taught lunatic!

You obviously don't owe him any more, so why shut yourself up?

If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, carrying Guiyingtang's orders and assassinating Emperor Jiuzhao, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed and humiliated as he is now.

Being caught under the gu, not only revealing Ghost Shadow Hall and his true identity, but also being humiliated and abolishing his internal strength, this should be regarded as repaying his guilt of assassinating his father, and this is already clear.Why is this lunatic still imprisoning him?

"Zongzhengyuan! Can you be more sober!" Jiu Ye pulled a distance away and cursed loudly.

Hearing this, Zongzheng Yuan waved his hand for another whip.

This time, Jiu Ye didn't dodge, and stood still and let him swing a long whip.

I saw a bloodstain on the brocade coat.

Seeing the dazzling blood on the white clothes all over his body, Zongzheng Yuan stopped immediately, staring at the blood mark in a daze, his hand holding the long whip trembled slightly.

"Xiao Jiu...I'm sorry..." Zong Zhengyuan said tremblingly.

Jiuye stretched out her hand to cover the wound, ignored him, dragged the chain on her foot, walked slowly to the edge of the bed, took out a white porcelain bottle from under the pillow, carefully took off her shirt, and lightly sprinkled the powder on the wound, He frowned slightly.

This inexplicable beating has become a common occurrence.

I thought that if I lost my internal strength, my martial arts would also be affected by it.Now it's good, once he hit it, it became an opportunity to practice, but it's just that he suffered some flesh injuries.

Zong Zhengyuan felt very dazzling when he saw his cautious and skillful movements.Stepping forward quickly, he snatched the porcelain bottle from his hand and threw it to the ground.

"Who asked you to apply the medicine yourself?" Zong Zhengyuan pinched his neck and asked viciously.

"Let me go." Jiu Ye reached out and grabbed Zong Zhengyuan's hand tightly, trying to squeeze out a few words.

Seeing him struggling to breathe, Zong Zhengyuan reached out to grab the wound on his arm, and pinched hard.

"Fuck you!"

Jiu Ye, whose eyes were reddened by the whole pain, actually uttered a few dirty words, but before he finished speaking, Zong Zhengyuan suddenly lowered his head.

"Did I tell you that you should be more obedient?" Zong Zhengyuan leaned into his ear and said threateningly.

As soon as the words fell, Jiuye suddenly felt cold all over, as he had said before.

"If you are disobedient, since I can cripple your internal strength, I can also cripple your martial arts. You should weigh it yourself."

At that time, Zongzhengyuan threatened him like this.

For a moment, Jiu Ye was stunned, gasping for breath, but didn't say anything anymore.

He is afraid.

Zong Zhengyuan looked at his listless appearance, sneered, and let him go slowly.

"Cough cough cough."

"You touched the ground with your hand, it's not clean. I'll ask someone to treat your injury in a while." Zong Zhengyuan said slowly with a deep voice.

This face is made of a book, right?

Jiu Ye didn't reply, panting, leaning against the edge of the bed.

Knowing that his words and deeds were inappropriate, Zong Zhengyuan sat down suddenly and stared at Jiu Ye in a daze.

"What happened to you today?" Jiu Ye looked at him and couldn't help asking.

"Rongchizi is treasonous," Zongzhengyuan replied.

Hearing this, Jiu Ye sneered, and said contemptuously, "But that school minister?"

"How do you know?" Zongzhengyuan was a little puzzled.

"The people in Ghost Shadow Hall don't know anything." Jiu Ye said with a sigh.

This is indeed the case, as far as Ghost Shadow Hall's status in the world is concerned, almost everything in the world is known to everyone.But Jiuye has been imprisoned in this deep palace for several years, and all she knows is what happened many years ago.

"What else do you know about Rong Chizi?" Zong Zhengyuan squinted his eyes and approached him.

Looking at the person approaching suddenly, Jiu Ye thought that this person is still diligent and caring for the people. Apart from being cruel to himself, he also loves the common people. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.

Rong Chizi should have nothing to do with Master Xiao.

"I only know that many years ago, Rong Chizi met Yu Linyuan once, and his mother was indirectly killed by Yu Linyuan. That's all." Jiu Ye replied in a deep voice.

"If what you said is true, he should seek revenge from Yu Linyuan, why would he defect to him?" Zong Zhengyuan sneered.

"Zongzhengyuan, since I killed your father, why have you held me and imprisoned me to this day?" Jiu Ye looked at him coldly and asked back with a sneer.

This question overwhelmed Zongzheng Yuan.

After a while, Zongzhengyuan stood up, walked a few steps towards the stone gate, and then stopped again.

"You have a good rest, I'll pass on to the doctor."

Jiu Ye looked at his back, feeling very mocking.

You'll never really face yourself, Zongzheng Yuan.

At this moment, in the palace of Great Wu Xiyu——

"Your Majesty, what is going on here?" Chi Fei, a minister of the Great Wu, asked suspiciously.

Emperor Wu Ke took the letter, sighed softly, looked at the crowd of civil and military officials, and thought twice.

"Back then, my king's elder brother did not die. He was rescued by an expert in Beili. It was just to hide the truth from Emperor Jiuzhao, so he made this bad plan and announced to the outside world that the first emperor Wu Yue died of illness and his son Wu Zhang succeeded him. Now, Wu Zhang has retired. It is in this lord, and the king brother Wu Yue is also with him, dear friends, what happened back then is over, we should think about the current situation." Wu Ke slowly explained the whole story, while looking at the court officials sitting next to him , frowning, thinking about the next step.

Hearing this, Chi Fei nodded to express his understanding, and then asked again, "Your Majesty, first you can..."

"Brother Wang said that when Rong Chizi sneaked into Gao'an, our country had already sent people to assassinate him. It was because of this that my great Wu and Jiuzhao broke up business for many years. It's just that I only learned about it today, and that Yu Linyuan has already ascended the throne, I think that Rong Chizi is going to attack my big Wu, I wonder what countermeasures you all have?" Wu Ke replied.

Chi Fei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, but did not reply.

"Your Majesty! I have something to say!" A minister, Yun Shicheng, stepped forward with his arms crossed, and said loudly.

"Please tell me, Yun Aiqing," Wu Ke replied.

"Since Rong Chizi wants to persuade Gao An and Jiuzhao to form an alliance to seek our Great Wu, we can send envoys to lobby." Yun Shicheng replied respectfully.

Wu Ke stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "The minister of our country focuses on the iron merchants, and his good words are not far from the iron merchants. If he is sent to Gao'an, it may be hopeless."

"Your Majesty, I have someone to choose, but I don't know if I can invite you." Yun Shicheng squinted his eyes, playing charades.

"Yun Aiqing might as well just say it straight." Wu Ke asked.

After a long while, Yun Shicheng squinted his eyes and looked at Wu Ke, a gleam of light seemed to flash in his eyes.

Suddenly, Wu Ke seemed to understand, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Yun Aiqing is such a good plan!"

Four days later, in the royal palace of Taiyuan City in Gao'an Kingdom——

Yu Linyuan looked at the person sitting next to him. The person who came was dressed in Xuanqing robes, with a jade bun on his head, and his posture was straight and proud, with a very proud appearance.He knew that this person might be difficult to deal with.

"Cai Wenjun, the chief minister of Xiajiuzhao Kingdom, met Emperor Gao'an."

After saying that, Cai Wenjun arched his hands in a bow and bowed to Yu Linyuan.

Rong Chizi on the side paused in his heart, pursed his lips tightly, and stared at Cai Wenjun.

"The envoy invites you to rise."

"My lord, I'm here to ask you something." Cai Wenjun looked at Yu Linyuan and said.

"What's the matter?" Yu Linyuan was a little puzzled.

"I'm not talented. I have read "Benshi" written by the late emperor. There is an article about the disputes in the world. I don't know if you know it?" Cai Wenjun was talking, observing Yu Linyuan's expression from time to time.

It is said that this Yu Linyuan not only has a cloudy personality and does not know when to get angry, but also seems to be listening to him when talking to him, or he is absent-minded, and he has to speak to grab his attention.

"So this book is already everywhere?" Yu Linyuan replied, looking at Cai Wenjun with a half-smile, he wanted to see what else this man could say.

Hearing Yu Linyuan's words, Cai Wenjun didn't get angry, but hooked his lips into a smile, and continued, "Your Majesty, the former emperor of your country was furious and crowned a woman, and since then he has no intention of fighting. It's more about recuperating with the people, but it's ugly. Isn't it just fear of war?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in Gao An's court, and they all pointed at Cai Wenjun for being shameless.

But Cai Wenjun didn't listen to the foul language around him at all, and stared straight at Yu Linyuan, with his chin raised, his expression very determined.

When Rong Chizi heard this, he closed his eyes mockingly.

It finally came.

After a while, Yu Linyuan slowly evoked a smile.

"Lord Mu, Jiuzhao envoys insulted me, Emperor Gao An, what do you think, how should we deal with it?" Yu Linyuan was talking, but his eyes were fixed on Cai Wenjun.

Rong Chizi took a deep breath, and slowly stepped forward with his hands arched.

"Return to your majesty, according to the law of Gao'an, you should slap ten times." Rong Chizi replied solemnly, pretending not to understand what Yu Linyuan meant.

"My lord, did you hear me?" Yu Linyuan asked contemptuously.

Cai Wenjun took a step forward, looked back at Rong Chizi, sneered in his heart, and looked back at Yu Linyuan.

"It's just a slap, compared to Gao An being in danger, I think it's much more worthwhile." Cai Wenjun responded with a sneer, then turned his head and stopped looking at Yu Linyuan, his face was full of contempt.

Yu Linyuan pursed his lips, squinted his eyes and stared at Cai Wenjun, slowly feeling angry in his heart.After a while, this anger was gradually suppressed again.

Jiuzhao sent envoys to persuade him to be born in Gao'an, even disregarding the grievances of a hundred years ago, it can only show that this plan is definitely not a trivial matter.Excluding the Beili Kingdom, looking at the three kingdoms today, Wu is the most powerful. If he wants to fight against him, he must join hands with him, Gao An, in order to fight.

Not to mention whether it is possible to capture Dawu, even if it is captured, how will it be calculated after that?In other words, there will be a final battle between Gao An and Jiu Zhao.

Yu Linyuan took a deep breath and snorted coldly.

"Lord Cai, you are really eloquent," he said.

Rong Chizi looked at Yu Linyuan suddenly, he knew that Yu Linyuan agreed.

Hearing this, Cai Wenjun looked towards Yu Linyuan slowly, and seeing that his expression was no longer as gloomy as before, he was overjoyed that it was done.

At this moment, outside the gate of Gao'an Palace was a man dressed in Haoyue Brocade Clothes, with a calm expression on his face.

"Mr. Wu, please go back. Without the emperor's permission, it will be useless for you to wait for another year and a half." The guards persuaded.

Wu Zhong frowned slightly. He knew that this trip was full of joys and sorrows. Now that he came here, he also had a bottom line in his heart, so he could talk to Wu Ke.

He looked up at Taiyuan Palace, sighed softly, turned and left.

Yu Linyuan, the balance of the world must not be broken because of you.
