"Then first seat Tan came here for Yuan Jiuchen and Tailing Sect?"
"That's right!"
Zong Shou nodded his head. Both sides knew about this matter and there was nothing to hide. It was best for both sides to be open about it.
"Tailing Sect's intentions are unfathomable. I think your highness knows about it. What does your highness think? "
This time Yinquan was expressionless, "Although Tailing Sect and my 9th brother schemed against me, they didn't do anything. I don't have to be enemies with this top Taoist sect. You can leave today and I will act like I didn't see anything … "
Zong Shou smiled and knew that he was going to bargain with him. Logically speaking, at this time he should make some promises to make this Han King calm down. However, he didn't want to do that.
"I think your highness should beg me, Cang Shengdao. You should deal with that Yuan Jiuchen! "
"Oh? I am willing to listen to the details! "Yinquan's first reaction wasn't anger but curiosity. Like before, if this teen didn't have confidence, he wouldn't say such words. This was why his tone was a little heavier.
"Since that is the case, then allow Tan Qiu to speak some logic. I have read history books and in history fighting for the throne is the cruelest. Killing one's brother, killing one's younger brother, killing one's father, killing one's mother, these were all recorded in history. Even if your highness doesn't want to offend them, in the future will Tailing Sect let you off and not be enemies with you? Allow me to be direct, even if your 9th brother lets you off in the future, he won't be able to avoid a tragic life! "
Zong Shou said while he was filled with emotions. This was also the reason why he wasn't willing to continue being the monster king. He wasn't willing for his future children to kill one another. However, due to the wishes of Zong Shou, he had to protect the foundations of Gantian Mountain.
Yinquan's expression changed slightly, "These words are just your guesses. Moreover, that Yuan Jiuchen is my trusted general …"
"Trusted general? This is a trusted general who has a close relationship with Tailing Sect. Since this person can betray me, Cang Shengdao, why can't he betray His Highness? As for the pros and cons, if His Highness wants to ascend the throne in the future, it would be better to have one more friend than one more opponent. Although I, Cang Shengdao, will not help you, I will not make an enemy of Your Highness. "
Before he finished his words, Yinquan's eyes changed. Zong Shou knew that such threatening words would easily make one feel disgusted. His tone then changed, "Your Highness, are you not willing to stay in the Western Qin City for a while longer? Is it really wise to enter the capital now? "
Yinquan was startled. He naturally wanted to stay in his fief for as long as possible.
Entering the capital might seem grand, but he was the first prince to do so. However, if it was before he didn't know about the connection between Tailing Sect and Liao King, he could still be satisfied. Now, his heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley.
Not only was it not a joyous occasion, it was enough to kick him out!
However, with the officials in the imperial court calling for him and also with his father's permission, he had no way to reject.
Did this Tan Qiu have a way? With Cang Shengdao's ability, he might be able to help him.
Zong Shou's expression was calm, calmly pouring a cup for himself. Only when Yinquan sighed and looked over with a seeking gaze did he say expressionlessly, "Your general was assassinated, the land under your rule has Cang Shengdao bandits causing chaos. The place isn't peaceful, is this excuse enough? Is Your Highness really at ease to hand your army over to Yuan Jiuchen? "
At this moment, not only Yinquan, but even that old man surnamed Li was slightly moved, exchanging glances with one another.
Actually, they would be able to think of such a method after a few days. However, it seemed like there was nothing more suitable than Yuan Jiuchen dying and Cang Shengdao causing chaos.
"I remember that this Yuan Jiuchen was Cang Shengdao's traitor. Isn't it a matter of course for you all to clean up your sect?"
The one who spoke this time was the old man surnamed Li. Zong Shou scoffed coldly, replying without any hesitation, "I Cang Shengdao can kill him today, tomorrow, but I don't have to choose before Your Highness moves …"
After saying those words, Zong Shou wasn't willing to speak anymore, holding a cup of tea and not drinking, only quietly smelling the fragrance. He allowed this Han King to consider carefully.
The problem was that at this moment, there were less than ten days until Yinquan headed to the capital! As for this Yuan Jiuchen, this 4th prince probably hated him to the bone even more than Cang Shengdao and wanted to kill him.
A moment later, Yinquan and the old man surnamed Li exchanged glances. Their expressions changed for a moment before they gave out a bitter laugh.
"You have won! What does Cang Shengdao want from me? "
"Helian Iron Mountain has three million people, I beg Your Highness to let them go and let them leave. Also, tens of days ago, my ten over fellow sect members who were locked up … "
As he said that, Zong Shou paused. All of a sudden, he didn't know what he should get from this Han King. Cang Shengdao was rich. Although this Han King was rich, in these short tens of years of operation, he might not be stronger than Zong Shou and the current Gantian Mountain. The sect probably wouldn't care about some benefits.
If he asked for too much, this Han King probably wouldn't agree.
Sizing up this Yinquan, Zong Shou's gaze finally locked onto his waist, his pupils constricting slightly.
"Actually, this time Cang Shengdao and Your Highness are just taking what we each need. I Cang Shengdao don't ask for any rewards from Your Highness. I, on the other hand, love metal and stone items. Give me that piece of jade, Tan Qiu is delighted and would like Your Highness to give it to me … "
Yinquan was startled, following which his expression relaxed. These conditions were within his expectations and weren't too much.
He didn't hesitate to take off the piece of jade at his waist and casually toss it to Zong Shou. This piece of jade was only of a slightly better quality than the highest quality Mutton Fat Jade. It wasn't some sort of mystical item. Following which his expression turned solemn, "Then, Cang Shengdao, when are you prepared to attack?"
After Zong Shou received the piece of jade, he used his hands to pinch it. He knew that this item was the item in his memory, there was no mistake about it. This time, this piece of jade could be considered an unexpected surprise.
He wanted to take a closer look, only to feel two cold gazes staring right at him. Zong Shou instantly broke out into a laugh, casually keeping the item in his hand.
"As they say, there is no time like the present. Didn't Your Highness agree a few days ago to gather troops to help Ji Lingzi, even lending out the Dingxi iron cavalry?"
Zong Shou looked out of the window, only to see the heavy rain pouring down continuously.
"That Liao King matter will alert the enemy in the end. Long nights have many dreams, why not do it today? "
In just a few words, he decided the fate of that Yuan Jiuchen. Zong Shou's eyes squinted slightly.
This continuous rain was also an unexpected surprise. The heavens were helping him …
After today, he could finally break free!
※ ※ ※
"Why doesn't the rain stop this year?"
Roughly 230 miles away from Xiqin City, it was also raining heavily, lightning flashing in the sky.
However, there were a full 9 thousand cavalry quietly standing on the plains at the side of the river.
They didn't move at all, like they were statues.
The ones at the helm were Yuan Jiuchen and Ji Lingzi. However, beside him, there were 2 people who stood shoulder to shoulder with him. They were all wearing armor that was equivalent to a sixth-grade spirit weapon. They had a dignified bearing, emitting a fierce tiger aura. There was a faint smell of blood in their mouths and noses. If one looked carefully with their spiritual eyes, one could see a blood vengeful glow charging into the sky. Most of the generals in the army who had killed before were like that.
The one who spoke was a 30 over middle-aged man, his face clean and handsome.
Ji Lingzi expressionlessly swept the 2 of them. Out of these 2, one was the commander of the Dingxi iron cavalry, Xiaoze. He led a thousand cavalry, their strength wasn't below the purple cloud sword cavalry.
The one beside him who was grumbling out of boredom wasn't a small matter. He was the Han King personal guards commander Boli.
Although his words were grumbling about the weather, he was actually expressing his unhappiness towards their Tailing Sect.
"The 2 of you please calm down. 2 days later will be the execution of those 3 million criminals. I think that when the common people path acts, if it isn't today then it will be tomorrow. Please work hard for 2 more days. Our Tailing Sect will naturally repay you after the matter! "
Only then did Boli shut up, exchanging glances with Xiaoze beside him and smiling. He looked towards the Li river not far away.
The rain during these few days was really heavy. The flood peak of the Li river was also getting higher and higher.
Luckily, today his highness didn't need to worry about this matter.
Just as he was thinking about that, 2 balls of light suddenly fell from the sky, landing in front of him and Xiaoze respectively.
Bo Li doubtfully received it. A moment later, his expression became incomparably strange.
Looking at Xiaoze again, this colleague of his was extremely calm and didn't reveal anything at all. It was as if nothing had happened.
Ji Lingzi also felt weird about these 2 message talismans, probing, "The 2 of you, does his highness have something to instruct?"
Boli smiled, his expression instantly returning to normal as he nodded his head, "That's right! He wants the 2 of us to settle things quickly and return to escort his highness.
Imperial City. His highness seems to want to move early … "
When Yuan Jiuchen heard that, his eyes lit up as he looked weirdly at Boli.
That Ji Lingzi was also delighted. However, in his heart, he still felt that something was weird.
However, thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of anything. He only thought that he was being too suspicious and didn't bother about it.
After tens of breaths, he saw a bunch of scouts galloping over from the rain not far away.
After they got close, the leader of the scouts galloped in front of Ji Lingzi and the other 3, cupping his fists and bowing.
"Sirs, roughly 70 miles downstream, the river dam suddenly broke. When I came down, the water had already flooded Helian Iron Mountain … "
The 4 people here were all startled, thinking to themselves that the water was flooding Helian Iron Mountain? What was going on? Was it intentional or intentional?
Ji Lingzi was only shocked for a moment before he laughed coldly, "I remember that the place that Helian Iron Mountain is at is 170 feet below the water surface? Speaking of which, Cang Shengdao must have built numerous ships? "
That scout commander instantly bowed once more, his eyes filled with shock and respect. At that time, there were 300 hundred thousand stone boats going down the river and also reaching Helian Iron Mountain! (To be continued.
