Wu Sansi nodded and said, "Yes, it's Chang'an City." My aunt is resolute, and since she has decided to move the capital to Chang'an, the position of the prince will not change. The only thing we can do is to find a way to strengthen the Wu clan's power in Chang'an City, just wait for my aunt to be a hundred years later...... Hum. ”

"You want to rebel?" Wu Yizong's complexion changed suddenly.

Wu Sansi stared into his eyes and said slowly: "It's not a rebellion, but to take back what belongs to our martial arts family." Don't you, old brother, look forward to your younger brother ascending to the throne? ”

"Nonsense, if you become the emperor, I will still be a relative of the emperor, can you not want to?" Wu Yizong sighed and said, "However, this king has to persuade you, there is really little hope for this matter." If you don't get it right, our martial arts family will be worried about extermination! ”

Wu Sansi sneered: "Could it be that we have been following the rules, and the martial family will not have to worry about extermination?" Not necessarily. ”

Wu Yizong said weakly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been benevolent......"

"Yes, the crown prince Li Xian is indeed benevolent, and the younger brother put a big green hat on him, but he didn't say anything. However, Wei Yuanzhong, Zhang Cambodia, and Cui Erlang around the prince are all ruthless characters. Are you sure that after they gain power, they will not cut the grass and eradicate the samurai family?? ”

"This ......"

Wu Yizong thought for a while, and was really persuaded by Wu Sansi, and said angrily: "Among the men of our martial arts family, King Liang, you are the most capable. Cheng, for the sake of the family, this king is only your horse's head. ”

"Okay, what I want is your words, brother." Wu Sansi said: "If it is in Luoyang, our martial arts family has most of the troops, even if the crown prince Li Xian succeeds to the throne, we can protect ourselves." However, when we went to Chang'an, our people could go over, but the soldiers couldn't take them over. Therefore, the 5,000 Royal Forest Army that Your Majesty gave you is very important, and you have to grasp it steadily. ”

Wu Yizong nodded and said, "This king understands. ”

"In addition, it is the major forces in Chang'an City. First of all, you go all out and compete with Cui Erlang for the position of Jing Zhaoyin. ，”

Wu Yizong was puzzled: "If it weren't for my Chang Cui Erlang's morale and his prestige, I'm afraid I really can't compete with others." ”

"The little brother has already thought of this." Wu Sansi said: "This matter is related to the rise and fall of the martial family, and the whole clan of the martial family must have money to contribute and make a strong contribution." The younger brother doesn't believe it, no matter how big Cui Erlang's ability is, can he still fight against the entire martial arts family? ”

Wu Yizong was noncommittal, and said, "In addition to fighting for Jing Zhaoyin, what else do you need this king to do?" ”

"Gather the unofficial forces in Chang'an City." Wu Sansi introduced: "As far as the junior brother knows, there are now four strongest forces in Chang'an City. One is the Loyalty Society, which controls all the green ~ buildings and gambling houses in the Great Wall. The president of this association is Qin Xiuye, the great-grandson of Qin Qiong, the late Duke of Hu Guo. ”

After a pause, Wu Sansi added: "The second is the Heli Society. Heli has a lot of half-black and half-white transactions in the East and West markets. The president of this society is Cheng Fangming, the great-grandson of Cheng Zhijie, the former Guogong. In addition, there are also pure underworld forces, robbery, theft, kidnapping tickets, and even harvesting and mutilation, all evil, called the Four Seas Gang. Who the gang leader is, the younger brother hasn't found out yet. ”

Wu Yizong sneered: "In the peaceful and prosperous world, how can there be any simple underworld forces? This Four Seas Gang must still be related to which nobles in the DPRK and China. It's just that the business done by the Four Seas Gang is too unsightly, and that person doesn't dare to admit it. ”

Wu Sansi continued: "The fourth force is all composed of Hu Shang and is named Jubaolou. The owner of the treasure building is called Zadamuyu, and he is a Persian. This group of Hu businessmen came to my Great Zhou from thousands of miles away, and they all brought a lot of guards. If united, the power side cannot be underestimated, and it can be the top spot of the four major forces. ”

Wu Yizong groaned: "Your Majesty has come up with three questions, and the school is the king and Cui Erlang. The first of these questions is the security in Chang'an City. Whoever can grasp these four forces will basically win. ”

"That's it." Wu Sansi said: "The second topic is to solve the water mill on the Zhengbai Canal, and the second topic is to solve the natural danger of Sanmenxia." Don't talk about Cui Erlang, even if the gods come, it's okay. So, in fact, it's still a matter of winning or losing. ”

Wu Yizong's eyes lit up, and he said: "In this case, this king has five thousand royal forest troops, and with the support of the martial arts, he really has a big chance of winning." ”

……

……

Wu Yizong got 5,000 Imperial Forest Army, and of course Cui Geng's side couldn't take office alone. Wu Zetian transferred the three hundred female soldiers from Fengchen Mansion to Jingzhao Mansion, and from now on, they will all be captured by Jingzhao Mansion.

Although there is a huge gap of orders of magnitude between the three hundred female soldiers and the five thousand Royal Forest Army, Cui Geng is not dissatisfied.

After all, whether or not Jingzhao Mansion can be managed well depends on the ability of the officials themselves. If you really want to use force, you can directly transfer the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

However, just when Cui Geng had reorganized three hundred female soldiers and was about to go to Chang'an to take up his post, the arrival of several uninvited guests completely disrupted his plan.

These uninvited guests are Cao Tianjiao, Cao Hao and Cao Yuechan.

"Three times and five divided by two, the lawsuit for killing the emperor's relatives was settled. Erlang, okay, good, the old man didn't mistake you! Cao Tianjiao praised without words.

Cao Hao also stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "The grace of saving lives is unforgettable." Erlang, please bow to the younger brother. ”

Cui Geng hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Brother Cao, please get up quickly." Belch...... You're not here today to thank you, are you? ”

Cao Yuechan said in a low voice: "First, thank you Erlang." Second, it is to fulfill the promise. Please put ...... Invite Sister Ruolan out. ”

"Fulfillment?"

Cui Geng changed his mind a little, and thought that Cao Yuechan had proposed that if she saved Cao Hao, she would be willing to marry into Cui's mansion as a concubine. Obviously, this matter can be called Cao Yuechan's fulfillment of her promise, and it can also be seen that she has finally found a step down.

Cui Geng nodded yes and ordered someone to invite Lu Ruolan.

After a while, Lu Ruolan took Wang Meifang, Qin Yuer and others to the living room.

After a few words of greeting, Cao Yuechan smiled slightly at Lu Ruolan, and directly explained her intentions, and said: "The concubine is a concubine, and she is willing to marry into Cui's mansion as a concubine." I don't know what Sister Ruolan thinks, when should I pass the door? ”

Cao Yuechan's age is a few years older than Lu Ruolan, and now she has a sister, which sounds really sincere.

However, Lu Ruolan didn't seem to appreciate it, and said slowly: "If it's to repay the favor, then there's no need." Erlang is known as Cui Qingtian, and there are countless living people. If he does a good deed, there will be a beauty who sacrifices his life to repay him, can my Cui family pretend? ”

Cao Yuechan's face was not very good-looking at that time, and her tone was a little stiff: "Listen to Sister Ruolan, is the concubine welcome?" ”

"It's not that it's unwelcome, it's just ...... Our Cui family has no shortage of beautiful concubines. If you just want to repay the favor, please go back. ”

"Okay." Cao Yuechan's face was as red as blood, and she gritted her teeth and said: "The concubine body is indeed a longing for Erlang, eager to tie the knot with him, and ask Sister Ruolan to take it in." I'm always satisfied, aren't you? ”

"Satisfied, of course satisfied. However, Xinmu Erlang, there is no evidence, you have to come up with evidence. After all, it was you who refused to marry in the first place, and it was you who personally proposed a two-year contract......"

After a pause, Lu Ruolan's voice continued a little harshly: "If you want to eat back grass, our family Erlang may not agree to it." ”

Cao Yuechan didn't expect that she had regressed again and again, but Lu Ruolan still didn't give up, and said angrily: "I still want evidence from Erlang? How can there be any evidence for such a thing? ”

"It's up to people, think about it. When will you think clearly, when will you talk about marrying into the Cui family. As for now...... Little lady Cao, please go back. ”

"You...... Lu Ruolan, you are too much. Is it possible, is Cui Erlang a good man in the world? We'll see! ”

Cao Yuechan finally couldn't bear it anymore and went away.

Cao Tianjiao and Cao Hao looked at each other, both a little dumbfounded and a little sad and angry. After a while, Cao Tianjiao hugged his fist at Cui Geng, and said coldly: "Since Yuechan is not allowed to be a big woman, then my Cao family will not be shy and high, and say goodbye!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left with Cao Hao.

"Eh, Uncle Cao walks slowly......"

Cui Geng wanted to stop it, but was swept over by Lu Ruolan's sharp gaze, and he was silent.

After the Cao father and son left, Cui Geng said with some displeasure: "Didn't I say it, it's all a family, save some face for Yuechan." How can you end up humiliating people like this now? ”
