Chapter 329: Preemptive Strike
Hearing what she said was so serious, Niu Youdao seemed not to believe it, he hesitated and said: "I think Emperor Qi has a big heart, and he is not a person who hesitates. If he knows the nature of this son, how can he condone it?"
"It's not conniving!" Guan Fangyi sighed: "You don't know that the battle for the throne in the past is full of blood, and Hao Yuntu was no exception when he came to power. At that time, the former emperor passed away, and a life-and-death battle was launched between the princes. I was in Qijing at that time, and the whole of Qijing was bloody. Haoyuntu was outnumbered and surrounded by heavy soldiers. Under a rain of arrows, it was Jin Wang Haoqi's mother who blocked Haoyuntu with her body and saved Haoyuntu. One life. Bu Xun persuaded the three major factions who remained neutral, and gained the support of the three major factions. The woman's body was turned over, and the woman's blood stained Hao Yuntu. Hao Yuntu hugged the woman and cried loudly among the dead. If the woman hadn't rescued her desperately, how could there be Haoyuntu today. How to choose, Hao Yuntu is also in a dilemma!"
Niu Youdao didn't expect that there was such a past event in it, and asked: "Does he dare to confront Bu Xun, the chief executive?"
Guan Fangyi was startled and said: "So, I advise you not to go back to Qingshan County, there is nothing to go back to the poor mountain nest, just stay here in the capital. You have Bu Xun as a backer, Bu Xun is definitely The person who can affect whether the King of Jin can take the position, before the crown prince is determined, the King of Jin will never dare to offend Bu Xun. But if he leaves this capital, it will be hard to say, the external control of the school affairs office is definitely not as strict as in this capital , even if someone strikes at you, who can prove that Jin Wang did it?"
Niu Youdao: "According to what you say, I can't stay away from Qi Jing for the rest of my life, can I?"
Guan Fangyi: "What does that matter? I haven't been out of the city for many years. If there is anything to do, let the people below handle it."
Niu Youdao: "If I'm a waste who has been living in this city, do you think I can still get Bu Xun's support?"
"..." Guan Fangyi concluded, the other party's words were not unreasonable.
In fact, she didn't know the real relationship between Niu Youdao and Bu Xun.
Niu Youdao asked again: "Can King Jin mobilize people from the three major factions?"
Guan Fangyi pondered for a while, "Mobilization is definitely possible, but it depends on what it is. If you are against his father, the three major factions will definitely not listen to him. You have Bu Xun's support. Mobilize the three major factions." It should be impossible to send someone to deal with you."
Niu Youdao: "Which faction's monks are there under King Jin?"
Guan Fangyi: "As a prince, he still doesn't dare to blatantly develop his influence in the cultivation world. The three major sects are the first ones who won't condone them. On the surface, they are the three major sects, but secretly, they are Wei Chu."
Niu Youdao: "Which faction is this Wei Chu from?"
Guan Fangyi: "Wei Chu was originally a casual cultivator, not a person of any power, but he attached himself to the Golden Queen and used the influence of the Golden King to cultivate his own influence in the practice world. Serving for the King of Jin, the people you associate with are very complicated."
"That is to say, if you want to deal with me, it is probably this Wei Que?" Niu Youdao asked.
"It's not far away!" Guan Fangyi nodded, "This Wei Chu is very exclusive. In order to maintain his influence on the Golden King, other people who intend to label the Golden King have been eliminated by him. But in In my opinion, sooner or later, this person will die unexpectedly."
Linghu Qiu snorted and asked, "How?"
Guan Fangyi: "The reason is very simple. If King Jin can take the position, people from the three major factions will not allow other forces to influence and control King Jin. Otherwise, it will affect the interests of the three major factions. He must be eliminated. If King Jin can't be in power, and other high-ranking people will definitely cut off the wings of King Jin. This Wei Chu is also the first to bear the brunt. Therefore, Wei Chu's final fate is almost doomed, and he can't do without King Jin now. It's like drinking poison to quench thirst, the only chance of survival depends on whether he can escape when disaster strikes!"
At this moment, a maid came and asked Guan Fangyi to have dinner.
Guan Fangyi squinted at Niu Youdao, and said strangely, "Do you want me to serve you dinner?"
"I'm afraid of being poisoned to death by you!" Niu Youdao teased, waved his hand, and let her go.
After watching him leave, Niu Youdao turned his head and said with a smile, "Second brother, this matchmaker is much more competent than you, a broker, and knows more than you."
Linghu Qiu smiled wryly: "Can it be compared? She has stayed in this capital for decades, if she knows less than me, then she has been wasted all these years."
Niu Youdao changed the subject, "Second brother, what do you think of this Wei Chu?"
Linghu Qiu heard that there was something in his words, "What do you mean?"
Niu Youdao stood up and faced him face to face, "I want to ask my second brother to do me a favor!"
Linghu Qiu asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"
Niu Youdao said word by word: "Strike first is the best!"
"..." Linghu Qiu was speechless, looked at Hong Fu who was beside him, and then hesitated again: "You want to get rid of Wei Chu?"
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, "What do you think, second brother?"
Linghu Qiu said with a serious expression: "This man is not easy to move! He must have won a lot of good fighters by taking advantage of Jinwangfu's power. It is not easy to kill him, but if he fails and is revealed, the person who killed Jinwangfu may be Even Bu Xun can't come forward to protect you."
Niu Youdao: "If I want to leave this place smoothly, I have to create a certain amount of trouble for the Jinwang Mansion, so that the Jinwang Mansion can't care about me. The best way is to get rid of Wei. The matchmaker has already explained the situation very clearly. In addition to controlling Jin Wang's secret forces, once Wei Chu died, it would be very difficult for Jin Wang to weave people against me for a while, and there is enough time for me to escape."
Linghu Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not that I don't want to help you, how can I get this ability? Don't mention me, people from Jinwangfu, how many dare to move in this country of Qi? Especially Jinwang's confidantes."
"Second brother knows a lot of people. If you think of a way, you can always find the right person. If you need to spend money, I will find a way." Speaking of this, Niu Youdao cupped his hands sincerely: "Second brother , the matter has come to this point, I have no choice, this matter is related to my life and death, I hope the second brother will not refuse!"
Linghu Qiu didn't agree, nor did he refuse, he just said to let him think about it, saying that it was irresponsible to Niu Youdao to say that he agreed recklessly.
After watching Niu Youdao leave, Linghu Qiu sighed and sighed, and Hong Fu at the side also knew that he was embarrassed.
At this moment, Hongxiu came, presented a piece of paper, and said in a low voice, "Wei Chu's situation, the higher-ups will reply."
Linghuqiu took it for a look, then handed it to Hongfu, sighed, "It's similar to what Guan Fangyi said, but more detailed."
Hong Fu looked at and rubbed the paper into fly ash in his hands.
Witnessing Linghu Qiu sighed again: "Oh, I wanted to throw this blame on Niu Laosan before, but now Niu Laosan has thrown it back to me."
Hongxiu was surprised: "What's the situation?"
"He asked Mr. to kill Wei Chu..." Hong Fu explained the general situation just now.
Hong Xiu looked serious, "How can King Jin's confidant be so restless?"
Linghu Qiu squinted his eyes and said: "From the current situation, it is not impossible to kill this Wei Chu. If he is killed, the possibility of the three major factions avenging him is very small, and he has no power behind him, but what to do The gods don't know it, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. Cutting off an arm of the King of Jin is not a trivial matter, it will change the pattern of the court of Qi State, I don't know if it will involve the secret arrangement of the above, and this is not something we can do at all It can only be done by the higher-ups, I'm afraid the higher-ups may not agree to do such a thing, moving Qi Huang's son is risky!"
Hongxiu: "Then what should I do?"
"I'm also in a dilemma. If I don't do this matter, it will be even more difficult to win the trust of Niu Laosan!" Linghu Qiu sighed, then turned around and said: "It is difficult for me to decide this matter. Send a message to the higher-ups, and let the higher-ups make a decisive reply as soon as possible!"
A secret room, dimly lit.
In the empty secret room, there is a long desk, two chairs, a candle, and the flame remains motionless.
The Jade King Haohong, who was dressed gorgeously and had a calm complexion, sat quietly, staring at the candle beside the table, like an old monk in meditation, the candle was half burned.
Suddenly, an air current came from nowhere, causing the candlelight to flicker, and Haohong turned his head to look at the corner of the wall.
hum! The wall shifted and turned, and a man in a black cloak entered.
Haohong stood up, and the person came to the opposite side and lifted the hood, revealing a lean man with a goatee face, it was Wei Chu.
"Uncle!" Hao Hong bowed his hands.
"My lord, please sit down!" Wei Chu stretched out his hand to signal, and after they both sat down, Wei Chu asked again: "There is not much time, so to make a long story short, the princess went to see Niu Youdao, what is the matter?"
Hao Hongdao: "It's the meaning of the father. He wants to use Shang Xue's influence on his father, and Niu Youdao's influence on the Shang Dynasty, to promote peace for both parties!"
"Huh?" Wei Chu couldn't help being surprised.
Haohong asked, "Why is uncle surprised?"
Wei Chu twirled his beard and said: "What Dare Love Niu Youdao said is true, and he didn't hide it from me... It seems that he really didn't want to offend Jin Wang... But Jin Wang didn't want to let him go."
Haohong blinked his eyes, "Boss wants to kill a cow in a proper way?"
Wei Chu nodded.
"Isn't it asking you to do it again, uncle? You can't mess around until the relationship between Niu Youdao and Bu Xun is figured out. Besides, Niu Youdao doesn't seem to be easy to deal with."
"Whether things succeed or fail is good for you. The more mistakes he makes, the better for you. Isn't it just to encourage his surly temper by my side all these years? I'm gradually pushing him to the top." Dead end, if you use his hands to suppress other princes, you just need to stay calm and be your virtuous king. Alas, he also owed his mother's blessing, otherwise he would have been overthrown a long time ago, and now he can only do it slowly and let him Your father is gradually getting tired of him. By the way, what is Bu Xun looking for Niu Youdao? Why does Zhuhe let Bu Xun and the princess take turns to look for Niu Youdao?"
"I'm not sure about this. Bu Xun didn't say anything, so I can't ask too much."
Wei Chu frowned and thought for a while, unable to figure it out, then got up and said, "That's it! I'll go back first."
Haohong hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle, for so many years, my mother has been thinking about you, and she secretly mentioned it to me yesterday, wanting to see you, to comfort my hard thinking!"
Wei Chu waved his hand and said: "Don't see each other! Before the big event is over, we must never meet each other. You tell your mother, don't even mention me in the future, just treat her brother as non-existent, and the school's control of the capital is not yours." I can figure out the depth of it. Once the news leaks out, your father's dislike for King Jin all these years will be poured on you, and he will regard you as the culprit. Neither you nor I can afford the consequences, and neither can your mother. , all these years of painstaking efforts will go to waste, do you understand?"
Haohong bowed and cupped his hands, respectfully said: "Yes! I've made a note!"
