Text Chapter 1724: Winner or Loser Determined

Ying Wuman still didn't understand the situation, but Ying Jiuguang had already said in a deep voice to Zuo'er: "Summon that traitor to see me!"

As soon as these words came out, Ying Wuman clearly meant the second child, Ying Wuque. Recently, only the second child was mentioned as the treacherous son by his father. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sweat for Ying Wuque. Just after he came back from the Heavenly Palace last time, his father said a word when he saw his second son, and gave him the Heart-Protect Pill, and then ordered someone to bring him a dragon-taming whip. As a result, his original whip injury had not recovered yet, and his father was injured again. He personally whipped his dick and beat him half to death. Now hearing the anger in these words, it seems that the second child is about to suffer again.

To be honest, he secretly rejoiced that the second child was unlucky one after another. The reason was simple. The more incompetent the second child was in his father's eyes, the less likely he was to threaten his position.

At this time, Zuo'er heard this and hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with the second master, it's just that the second master happened to bump into him. Judging from the recruitment inscription, it was definitely not a whim, which further proves that at the birthday banquet, What happened to Niu Youde was intentional. Even if the second master hadn't bumped into him, Niu Youde would have definitely made trouble. In fact, the conflict between him and the second master was just to make trouble and deliberately make things worse..."

Fortunately, she persuaded him, Ying Jiuguang sneered a few times and stopped pestering Ying Wuque to come to see him. This was considered as letting Ying Wuque go. After sitting down, he stretched out his hand to pick up a handful of chess pieces from the chessboard, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Loss. So what if I have a prince position? If possible, I would like to exchange two prince positions for this son to return home! I didn’t expect this son to be so brave and brave. In the future, I will be able to bear a lot of risks for my Ying family, and I can also help you out. I will have nothing to worry about after my death!" He raised his finger and pointed at Ying Wuman, "It's a pity, it's a pity that this person is actually in the hands of this king. Let him slip through his fingers in vain, I only regret that I don't know how to understand others!"

Ying Wuman was really confused. I wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. After all, my father was still angry just now and was a little anxious for fear of getting into trouble.

The sky is filled with stars. The bright moon shines brightly in Xiahou Tianweng's Mansion, under the big tree that dominates the sky, with lanterns hanging from the branches and a chessboard underneath. Xiahou Tuo was also playing chess with Xia Houling.

Wei Shu came hurriedly and said from the side: "Master, Second Master, Niu Youde has erected a recruitment inscription outside the main gate of Guishi Town."

Xia Houling stared at the chessboard and smiled: "That guy is very interesting. He was so confident at the birthday banquet. I guess there must be some new tricks in the recruitment inscription, right?"

"The inscription on the inscription sets the upper limit for recruitment. We do not recruit the elites of the four armies, but only the people of the mountain gods and the land..." Wei Shu slowly explained the key points of the inscription.

"Oh!" Xia Houling raised his head in surprise, frowning slightly in confusion. However, he heard a "click" sound and looked back, only to see that the chess piece held by Xiahou Tuo's fingertips fell and jumped on the chessboard, with a rather surprised look on his face and a wry smile gradually appearing on his face.

Xia Houling knew at a glance what his father had understood, and immediately looked up at Wei Shu with a questioning look, "Is there some deeper meaning in it?"

"..." Wei Shu opened his mouth to speak. He wanted to say something like "Third Master gives me some advice," but he thought that this was in front of the Second Master. If he said something that the Second Master had not understood yet in front of the Second Master, I was afraid of offending the second master by what he said clearly, so he swallowed the words that came to his mouth. He reminded: "Second Master, don't underestimate the people of the Mountain God Land. There are many people who have no background and have been suppressed and have strong cultivation. It is estimated that there are quite a lot of them. Let alone one hundred thousand, it is estimated that even one million is nothing. Down."

Xia Houling asked strangely: "So what? I'm afraid that the location of the Ghost City's main town may not be better than that of the Mountain God's Land. At least the Mountain God's Land and others have their own territory, and they can be more or less at ease. Even if Niu is virtuous How many people has he offended to be promoted to Netherworld Commander? And what’s the price for betraying the Fourth Army?”

Wei Shu glanced at Xiahou Tuo and fell silent.

"Second brother, you have been rich for a long time. It will be good for you to take time to travel around the world and get close to people at the bottom." Xiahou Tuo said lightly.

Hearing that this was correcting his shortcomings, Xia Houling looked solemn, stood up quickly, straightened his clothes, and bowed, "Yes! The son has remembered what the father said. But I still ask the father to clear up his son's doubts. "

Xiahou Tuo pressed his hand to signal him to sit down, then stretched out his hand to straighten the chess pieces on the chessboard, and picked up the extra piece that had fallen down. Fang sighed and said, "This is a wonderful plan, and it is fair and square." It's a sinister plot, but it's extremely offensive. It can be said that it's calculated on the hearts of the people, and it points directly to the painful shortcomings of Heaven. I really can't believe that this plan can be thought up by a rough guy like Niu Youde, why would anyone do it? "Tou, I only need to say one thing, and you will know something about it after listening to it."

Xia Houling nodded, "My son is all ears."

Xiahou Tuo glanced at the chessboard and seemed to be thinking about how to move, "Let me ask you, why are the lower-level soldiers taking the initiative to take risks in the purgatory examination, but some nobles only go after they are forced to have no other choice?"

Xia Houling said: "The son understands what the father means. Wealth can be found in danger. Children of powerful people are not short of wealth, so naturally they will not put themselves in danger easily. However, for the same reason, the purgatory examination is almost abandoned now, and no one takes part in the adventure. If there are still ambitious people among those mountain gods and land, why not actively sign up to participate?”

Xiahou Tuo, "Ambitious people do not mean that they are all fools. Why do they rush to die when there is no hope? Some children of powerful people are involved, and there are a large number of followers to help. Most of them are children of powerful people who rank in the former. Have you forgotten that even Xiahou Longcheng can be ranked first? Among the people with the same ranking, the positions are assigned first. How many people are still waiting for their positions after returning from the assessment? ? Although Tianjie has been separated from the local government, it is within the sphere of influence of local people. Can it avoid its influence? Can local forces actively influence Tianjie to regain control in another way? No? How many people can fight against the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty like Niu Youde did in Tianjie? Regardless of whether Niu Youde has a background in the Six Paths, do you think Niu Youde was willing to go to Purgatory to take the exam? People with lofty ideals will not blindly work for their lives, and this is great. If Niu Youde can recruit these people, he will have the foundation to gain a foothold in the world. Once there is an opportunity to go further, all the talents below will be available! "

Xia Houling fell into silence.

Snapped! Xiahou Tuo's son fell crisply, awakening Xia Houling.

Just as Xia Houling was about to reach out to take the piece, Xiahou Tuo already chuckled and said, "I'm a little greedy tonight, my second son. It's been a long time since I tasted your craftsmanship."

"Haha!" Xia Houling smiled heartily and stood up. "Father, wait a moment. My son is going to get some side dishes to go with the wine." He stretched out his hand and motioned to Wei Shu to help him continue, then he turned around and strode away.

Wei Shu had no choice but to sit down, take the pieces, and stare at the chess game to figure out how to place the pieces.

Unexpectedly, Xia Houtuo on the opposite side suddenly said lightly, "Based on your reaction before, has the third child already seen through Niu Youde's clever trick?"

Wei Shu looked up at him in surprise, and met Xia Houtuo's keen eyes. His face was filled with bitterness, and he understood that the old man's so-called greed was an excuse, and he just wanted to send the second master away. Ask questions. Not daring to hide it, he nodded slightly and said in a weak voice: "The news came from the third master. The third master made some suggestions and said that Niu Youde is in an invincible position."

In an instant, Xiahou Tuo slowly closed his eyes, a look of pain appeared on his face, "If you don't know the sufferings in the world, how can you communicate up and down, and how can you control such a large family? Confidence sometimes means blind arrogance! Old man! After three years of training, the second child is not as good as the second child, and you seem to be very afraid of the second child. "

Wei Shu's hands shook in shock.

Xiahou Tuo squinted his eyes at his reaction and sighed unusually tiredly, "You don't have to think too much and do your own thing. The things you and I have in our heads for so long are treasures. No matter who comes to power, there is no reason to get rid of you." , I hope you can really use it. I hope you can really listen to it and practice it. "

The night wind came, and under the dim light, Wei Shu lowered his head silently and said nothing.

In the study room of Haotian Palace and Hao Defang, Su Yun explained the situation of recruiting people for erecting monuments in the Ghost City's main town hall. After pointing out some powerful connections, Haoze who was standing by said in a deep voice: "Father, in that case, It seems that Niu Youde needs to be eliminated as soon as possible.”

Regardless of whether it is the Ying family or the Hao family, since Mingzhu introduced the person who represents the family in the court, the several kings and their sons have had frequent contact and exchanges. To put it bluntly, they are giving guidance and training.

Hao Defang, who was leaning on the chair after the case, snorted coldly, "How to get rid of it? If this bit of protection can't be done, then Master Qing will not be able to sit safely in his position, and there will be no chance to make a move."

Haoze thought for a while, "I wonder if there is any way to prevent those mountain gods and land people from investing?"

Hao Defang sighed softly, "How to stop it? Do you know who will surrender? Will all the mountain gods and land stop them? The world is so big, with the vast starry sky, and those people are all over the lowest level, how many people will be sent to stop it? What else can they do besides asking those people to go up to the top to warn them, but they are suppressed by them from the top? Haven’t they learned from the warnings from the top? It’s useless for these people to intimidate them. If they were wise, they probably wouldn’t be so miserable. , now that he has a place to escape from the jurisdiction of the Fourth Army, and has the will of the Emperor of Heaven, he has no worries, and he has already regarded Shangfeng as an enemy, so how can he take Shangfeng's bullshit warning seriously? Is it possible to stop so many people from making such a big move? Is Qingzhu blind or deaf? Even after he stopped us, we also gave away the reason for the obstruction. It seems that it is not a good thing for people to live longer than to be rich. You should make more time to have more contact with people at the bottom.”

Haoze gritted his teeth and said: "Father, are you just watching helplessly? Is there no other way?"

Hao Defang leaned back and raised his head, sighing: "With this move, victory or defeat is determined. If you lose, what an upright conspiracy! Old ghost Kou missed a talented general... Su Yun, the best way is to find a way to recruit him." ! Let him return to his heart first, and he may not be able to use it when the time comes!" (To be continued.) h:.147.247.73
