Chapter 888 harbors evil intentions

In the middle of winter, the cold wind swept the desolate breath of the northwest, and the eternal mist of the Loess Plateau seemed to cover the vast land. After all, the expected heavy snow still did not fall, the sun was not so bright, and I often hid in the clouds to peek at everything below. Due to the military disaster experienced in Guanzhong this year, the people hope to take advantage of this ritual to get rid of the heaviness brought by the war. The particularity of this year has caused the Jingzhao Mansion to also attach great importance to this ritual, and on this day, the city patrol soldiers set up control around the Ganye Temple early to prevent any accidents from happening during the ritual. The time is about to pass, and the mountain road leading to Ganye Temple is full of people, and in the huge flow of people, there is a group of people who look a little nondescript. A brocade-robed boy, next to a roe deer-headed rat-eyed sharp-mouthed reckless man, needless to say, this pair is naturally Mu Wanqing and Yue Laosan. With such a grand ceremony, even Mu Wanqing came, so His Royal Highness Zhao was naturally indispensable.

Mu Wanqing walked quickly, and Zhao Yougong accompanied Xiao Guanyin to follow behind. Xiao Guanyin has not been in Chang'an for a short time, but she is still very curious about everything around her, she has been in Chang'an for so long, and she has never come out to shop, let alone participate in Buddhist ceremonies. Xiao Guanyin is a demure person, she walks in the bustling crowd, but she still walks lightly, and a pair of lotus feet seem to be stepping on the clouds. The beauty of shy flowers, the beauty is sharp, the beauty of Xiao Guanyin, like the peach blossoms that are about to bloom, with a bit of intoxicating shyness in the quiet. Zhao Yougong is a sincere person, he has to admit that what has always attracted him is Xiao Guanyin's beauty, and there is really not much to talk about feelings. It's just connected by beauty, and over time, feelings are slowly integrated into it. In fact, the world has always misunderstood the Khitans, and always felt that such a wolf-like people should not like to study Buddhism, in fact, on the contrary, the Khitans revere Buddhism, and their degree is no worse than that of the Mongols. The grassland peoples have been living a life of fighting for their lives against the heavens, and the tribes have often fought against each other, and death and blood have not stopped, in this case, they are even more eager for the protection of the gods.

Ganye Temple is not big, the secluded mountains and forests, the endless flow of people, looking from afar, as if a blank tide. Tired of walking, Xiao Guanyin followed the railing to the high place, her eyes revealed a soft happiness, "Stopping at the edge of the forest is heavy with water, and looking at the mountains from afar." The withered grass welcomes the new snow in the sky, and the white clouds drive in the east. ”

"For a thousand years and a half sleep, everything is empty with bitterness. A lifetime of wandering and longing, ten fingers in the wind and rain. A cloak fell on his shoulder, Zhao Yougong hugged Xiao Guanyin's fragrant shoulder, looked at the vast sea of people in the distance, and found that there was a trace of resonance in his heart. Xiao Guanyin smiled slightly, as if the clouds were scattered, and the sun was shining in people's hearts. For some reason, Xiao Guanyin has a special feeling for Zhao Yougong, it is a husband and wife but not like a husband and wife, a lover but not a lover, but that feeling is very comfortable, this man seems to be able to see the deepest things in her heart. Wandering and thinking about love all his life, in the wind and rain of ten fingers, he started with poignant, but he gave a perfect ending, at this moment, Xiao Guanyin felt that he was truly integrated into this man's chest. He is not Yelu Hongji, he has greater ambition than Yelu Hongji, and he also has a tenderness that Yelu Hongji does not have, she Xiao Guanyin really lived in a man named Zhao Yougong in her heart, is she very shameless?

The warmth brought by the cloak drove away the cold brought by the mountain wind, and the man's embrace made this winter more warm, "Your Highness, you are really good, do you say that the Dharma can really help people who are suffering?" ”

"Why is it Your Highness, called an official, really, is it so long, do you still want to leave this king and go back to your Bailang River to be your Qingluo Goddess? Remember, with this king, you can't be a goddess in your life" Zhao Yougong's slightly ridiculous words made Xiao Guanyin cover her mouth and chuckle, she didn't want to be a goddess. A flower blooming in the wind, I don't know how many living beings will charm.

Ganye Temple is not big, and there are many people who come, in desperation, the Dharma moved to the open space outside the temple, and the wooden woman has no interest in these gods, gods and Buddhas. The Sanskrit sound was lingering, and the people knelt on the ground reverently, only on the roof of the hall in the distance, two people were babbling something. Qin Hongmian was dressed in a gray robe, his long hair was scattered, but he was playing with a short knife in his hand, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a cultivator, what did he see in his eyes, Qin Hongmian pouted with some taste, "Wan'er, the surname Zhao is so attentive, and there are so many fox spirits around you, do you really not taste at all?" ”

Mu Wan noticed Zhao Yougong and Xiao Guanyin early in the morning, and said that she was not worried, it must be fake, Xiao Guanyin is so beautiful, her beauty is pure and noble with some elegance that cannot be blasphemed, and I am afraid that only Yang Wanran can compare with it. If it was a few years ago, Mu Wan couldn't sit still early in the morning, but after so many years, she found that she couldn't do without that thief, as for Huaxin, it seemed that she was helpless, watching him step by step to get to this point, sometimes many choices are necessary, "What can I do?" But this thief is much stronger than my father, at least he dares to act, Zhu Lian is also a person who knows the general situation, but he has never bullied anyone. Oh, by the way, speaking of my father, I forgot to tell you, the letter from a few days ago, Song Jiang has led people to attack the Luolan Department in Jianchang Mansion, so my father has had a hard time recently, mother, don't you really want to care? ”

Qin Hongmian looked stunned, obviously she had been staying in the Ganye Temple, and she didn't know much about the world's major events, but the kind of stunned stayed for a short time, and then shook her head with a wry smile, and the short knife slammed against the green bricks and tiles, making a harsh sound, "Can you manage it?" Since he is the master of Dali, he should be prepared for this kind of thing. When we were on Shaomuro Mountain, we cut off the previous bad fate. Now that he has let go, why bother with it, he will go his way, and I will go my way. Wan'er, you don't have to tell me this, do you think I'll go to Dali for him? To tell you the truth, the days I spent in Ganye Temple were the easiest days of my life. ”

With that, his gaze swept over a pair of lovers in the distance and looked at the distant sky. Mu Wanqing nodded lightly, maybe this is the helplessness of life, the thoughts in my mother's heart are destined to have no ending, God sometimes loves to play tricks on people, could it be that my mother did something evil in her last life, and she will repay it in this life?

Chang'an was carrying out grand rituals, but in Luoyang City, he felt an unprecedented tense atmosphere, and it had been more than ten days since he returned to Luoyang, but Chai Keyan spent every day in anxiety. After preparing for a long time, he launched the Battle of Fenglingdu, which cost a huge amount of money, and almost consumed the materials accumulated over the years, but in the end he lost a large area south of the Yangtze River and only got a small area south of the Yellow River. There is no problem with the small scope of the direct jurisdiction, the problem is that the Chai family has now been completely fenced by the ****, from now on, all materials will be strictly blocked by the ****, and it is not obvious now, it is estimated that in less than two months, the price of Henan Mansion will skyrocket, and the scene of Luoyang paper is not a legend. There are too many things to worry about, if the material and people's livelihood cannot be properly solved, within three years, the hard-working foundation will be dragged down. The most headache is still Song Jiang, I didn't expect Song Jiang, the castrated tiger, to have such a big momentum, as soon as he entered Shuzhong, as if a fish and dragon entered the sea, out of control, in a short period of time, even Kehan in Chengdu Mansion, some time ago also defeated the barbarian tribes in the south in one fell swoop, and now it has entered Dali. Thousands of miles of fertile land in Shuzhong, with a large population, Dali is sparsely populated, but the country is rich, if Song Jiang takes Dali again, then Song Jiang really has the capital to fight for the world.

For example, today is like the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Yougong's Ding **** occupies a large area of rich regional power, and Song Jiang and Chai's lips and teeth depend on each other, so they can only support it. The most miserable is the Chai family, now the Chai family does not have the previous scenery, sitting still is not Chai Keyan's style, the Xuanzheng Palace is over, Chai Keyan and Gong Zhan came to the imperial study, after closing the door, Chai Keyan's beauty frowned, far from the confidence and freedom above the hall, "Mr. Gong, I don't need to say the current situation, I want you to be clear, this situation continues to develop, our days will only become more and more sad." I don't know Mr. Gong, but what is the best plan? ”

"Queen Mother, if you want to solve the current situation, there is only one way" Gong Zhen sat in the chair, looking extremely calm, but the ruthlessness in his eyes was still so sharp, "If we want to survive, we can only strike first." As long as we quickly swallow Shuzhong and destroy Song Jiang, we can rely on Henan Mansion, link Xishu, and use Jianmen Pass, Hangu Pass, and Tiger Prison Pass to resist Ding****, and open up Dali to the south as a rear. When it stabilizes, develops with peace of mind, and waits for the current situation in the world, as long as there is an opportunity, we can still recapture the Central Plains and win the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Chai Keyan's eyes were deep, and she thought carefully about Gong Zhen's words, she thought about it, and felt that it seemed a little inappropriate, "Mr. Gong, what you said makes sense, but have you thought about it, why has the **** not moved until now, Guanzhong is still easy to explain, even Xiao Zhiyun near Gyeonggi Road has returned to Bianliang and given up continuing to attack Zhengzhou, this situation is very abnormal." If what they expected is good, they can deliberately see us clash with Song Jiang. Now we and Song Jiang can be said to be interdependent, if we want to live, we can only cooperate, if there is a conflict first, isn't it exactly what Ding**** wants to see? Moreover, even if we go well and rush into Shuzhong, with the cunning of Xiao Zhiyun and Zhao Yougong, coupled with Dongfang Jin's strategy, we will not watch us successfully take Shuzhong and Hanzhong, and we will inevitably send troops to interfere at that time. ”

"Queen Mother, the minister you said has also considered, on the surface, we and Song Jiang can only cooperate, and any party that destroys the tacit relationship will cause the balance to be broken" Gong Zhu understands better than anyone else, it belongs to the three kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, why Wei can seize the world, in the final analysis, Liu Bei made an irreparable mistake in anger, and the battle of Yiling caused excessive losses on both sides of Shu and Wu, and the relationship between the two sides broke down. Especially in Shu, the achievements of recuperation for many years were burned, which also led to the later war of Wei full of vigor, but the stamina was not enough, and it ended many times. Now the situation is the same, no matter how big the grudge, cooperation is the best choice, because they are facing a huge enemy, "Admittedly, we need to cooperate." However, the Queen Mother, you should have seen that Song Jiang has already made a move on Dali, how long has Song Jiang taken Chengdu Mansion and Nanban, and he has not stabilized at all, so he is busy making a move on Dali, is he too anxious? No matter how you look at it, Song Jiang is taking a big risk to Dali Guo at this time, but he knows that the risk is very high, why does he still do it? There is only one explanation, that is, he wants to expand his power as soon as possible, wait for the problem of Dali to be solved, and then concentrate his forces to swallow Lizhou Road. Song Jiang did this, but he had hidden evil intentions, he calculated that we would not do anything to Shuzhong for the sake of the overall situation, and when he waved his troops on Lizhou Road again, the force was probably far greater than ours, and when the time came, he rushed east along Lizhou Road, and he could rush to Zhushan in the blink of an eye, and there was no danger to defend from Zhushan to Luoyang. Most of our troops and horses are now concentrated in Hangu, Guan, Shangzhou and Xiangyang, and the defense near Luoyang is empty, if Song Jiang chooses to act blatantly at that time, what will we use to defend Luoyang? As long as Song Jiang takes Luoyang with lightning speed, how many people does the Queen Mother think of my Chai army will choose to take refuge in Song Jiang? ”

Listening to Gong Zhen's words, Chai Keyan opened her mouth slightly and didn't say anything for a long time, her heart was already full of turbulent waves, she had never thought about it so deeply, think about it carefully, what Gong Yan said was not illusory, but very likely. The Chai clan is very large, but the strength is too complicated, and there are not many real Chai clan henchmen, just take the Chinese martial arts of the DPRK, except for Chai Jin and Chai Yonghao, who will follow the Chai clan wholeheartedly. Even the palace in front of him is the same, as long as Luoyang falls, she Chai Keyan dies in the city, I am afraid that the entire Chai clan will be leaderless, and then Song Jiang will raise his arms with the attitude of a victor, and the defenders of Hangu Pass, Tongguan and other places will not respond? It seems to be a huge Chai clan, but as long as it is handled accurately, it will become someone else's knife and gun in the blink of an eye.

has said this, if Chai Keyan is still hesitant, then she is not Chai Keyan. Since Song Jiang harbors evil intentions, then she Chai Keyan doesn't have to hide it, but she must plan carefully, and she must take Song Jiang in one fell swoop before the **** reacts, at least the Jianmen Pass must be under the control of the Chai family.

Chai Keyan's expression changed so quickly that Gong Zhan admired that it was not easy for a woman to make such a determination in such a short period of time. (To be continued.) )
