The further north we go, the colder the climate becomes. Spring has already arrived here in Dongbo. When we approach the southern border of Loufan, the north wind is as cold as a razor blade.
However, Loufan is too big and the climate varies from place to place. It is cold here in southern Xinjiang. After entering Loufan and walking for more than ten days through the Suling Mountains, the climate will become warmer.
Ye Wuyou had always been afraid of the cold, and now he was curled up in the carriage holding a book and reading. He was wearing a snow-white fox fur. In addition, there was a stove in the carriage.
The old servant who seemed loyal to him and taciturn was sitting next to him. He was reading quietly while the old servant closed his eyes and meditated.
"It's time to take your medicine."
Soon after, the old servant opened his eyes and took out a bowl of medicine from his wide sleeves, as if by magic.
Ye Wuyou took the medicine bowl and frowned before he drank it.
"There's no way to make it taste better?"
"Is there no way to prevent you from seeking death?"
"whispering sound......"
After being scolded by the old servant, Ye Wuyou didn't have any temper at all. He pinched his nose and drank the bowl of medicine, and then a series of coughing sounds spread outside the carriage.
The Lou Fan knights outside the carriage heard this and looked at each other, with worry in each other's eyes.
They are not pretending, but they also know that their wealth and life are now tied to His Highness Lianhai, and whether His Highness Lianhai can become Emperor Loufan is also tied to Mr. Ye. dead.
If this Mr. Ye really dies halfway, it will be a fatal blow to His Highness's fight for the throne.
In the carriage.
Ye Wuyou glanced at the old servant: "Just tell me, should you praise me?"
The old servant also glanced at him: "Just tell me, should I blame myself and reflect on myself?"
Ye Wuyou didn't want to talk to him anymore.
After a while, Ye Wuyou opened a gap in the car curtains and looked out. What he saw was not what was close, but what was far away.
Outside the official road is endless wilderness. Because the Dongbo people have basically given up on villages and towns, you can hardly see anyone in the fields along the way.
Large tracts of fields will be abandoned for at least a season, which is a blow to the Dongbo people who have just recovered their strength. Fortunately, they have been relieved for a few years, so it is not a fatal blow.
He didn't see the person he wanted to see.
But he knew it must be there.
"After returning to Loufan this time, the overall situation must be stabilized within three months. If it cannot be stabilized, Zong Zhengxianhe will come back."
Ye Wuyou looked at the old servant: "The situation in Loufan looks complicated, but it is actually simple. As long as the descendants are stabilized, Zongzheng Lianhai can temporarily stabilize the Loufan court."
The old servant glanced at him, but still didn't bother to pay attention.
Ye Wuyou pouted.
"If I can achieve something in Loufan, wouldn't I be worthy of your praise?"
"Shut up."
The old servant said: "Use the method I taught you to breathe and exhale. Although you are a loser in practice, I am powerful after all, and I will be of some help to you after all."
Ye Wuyou said: "Shut up, just shut up, why are you so loud..."
Then, instead of taking a breath, he opened a gap in the car curtains, leaned there and looked out the window, and kept looking, and kept looking.
At the same time, Loufan capital.
Harem.
The Queen sat there and listened to the quarrels of several people below, and she felt equally restless in her heart.
If she knew that Zong Zhengxian was facing the same situation as her in the Loufan Camp outside Yunzhou City, then she would probably feel some sympathy in her heart.
The old monk from Jinlan Temple was sitting not far from her. He seemed to be able to achieve purity. He sat cross-legged and looked at his nose and heart without saying a word or even raising his eyelids.
The queen thought, it is better for monks to have determination.
Little did she know that this old monk, who came with an important mission, was listening to the chatter of the descendants and endured many curse words in his heart.
"Master Qihui."
The queen did not interrupt the debate among the descendants, but looked at the abbot of Jinlan Temple: "Give me a reason."
Master Qihui asked: "What is the reason for your request?"
The queen said: "The master is highly respected, even those who have the best chance to win the throne will not worship in Jinlan Temple. But as long as the master is willing to come over to show his support, the status of the master and the status of Jinlan Temple will certainly not be compared to that of Jinlan Temple." How bad it was in the past, after all, there are powerful people in the God-endowed realm in Jinlan Temple."
What she meant was, why did Jinlan Temple support the most incompetent Zongzheng Lianhai?
Some are playable in easy mode, why does Jinlan Temple have to choose a hard mode?
Master Qihui said: "Your Majesty, I have misunderstood. I am a monk. A monk has no selfish desires. I am asking to see you, because I am here for the sake of the country and the hundreds of millions of people in Loufan."
The queen's lips curled up slightly, but fortunately she didn't make it too obvious.
She kept a calm tone and asked: "Since the master is here for the common people in the world, you should know that whoever you choose is much better than choosing His Highness Lianhai. If you choose the weakest one, you will be overwhelmed by all the stronger ones." Suppress.”
Master Qihui said: "What the Queen said is reasonable, but I don't think it is right to be reasonable."
The Queen raised her eyebrows.
Those who were arguing saw that Master Qihui had spoken so rudely to the Queen. They all shut up and glared at Master Qihui.
Master Qihui said: "His Royal Highness Lianhai has many advantages, especially for the empress. No one else has these advantages."
The queen pinched a piece of candied fruit and wanted to eat it, but gave up and threw it back into the box: "Master, why don't you speak more clearly? What advantages does His Highness Lianhai have that others do not have?"
Master Qihui replied seriously: "In my opinion, there are at least five advantages that cannot be ignored. First, His Highness Lianhai is young, has little experience, and has simple thinking. When it comes to city government, there is basically no such thing."
"Secondly, His Highness Lianhai only has 30,000 troops in his hands, and 80% of them are rabble-rousers. If anyone is a threat, then His Highness Lianhai basically does not."
"Thirdly, His Highness Lianhai only has one adviser, Ye Wuyou, who is from Dongbo. No noble in the country is willing to support him, and the major tribes treat him as a decoration. When it comes to backing, His Highness Lianhai basically has no one. .”
"Fourth, His Highness Lianhai acts recklessly. If everyone still looks down upon him after he comes back, and he does stupid things in anger, he might kill many people. What if he becomes even more stupid and captures a large number of family members as hostages? That will be terrible. It will offend more people, so His Highness Lianhai’s popularity is basically non-existent.”
"Fifth, if His Highness Lianhai wants to do these things, but he has no soldiers or generals, he has to find someone to borrow. If he borrows, he has to return the favor. He has nothing but promises, so when it comes to wealth, He basically doesn’t have either.”
Poor, stupid, and reckless...
When the people of the Hou clan heard this, some people started to curse. They said to themselves that you can support such a waste. Why come to ask to see the queen and drag the entire Hou clan to play house with an idiot?
But when she heard this, the queen's eyes had narrowed slightly, leaving only a slit, but the slit was indeed shining with light.
"Then His Highness Lianhai is really at an advantage."
The queen suddenly said this, and a small number of people present almost became anxious on the spot...
There were also people sitting there in deep thought and silence, seeming to be calculating the pros and cons.
"Did His Highness Lianhai ask Master to tell me these words?"
Master Qihui responded slightly, "Hui Niang, I saw these words myself."
The queen's smile became brighter and brighter.
"Master really has a keen eye. Master can see the advantages of others at a glance. Except for Master, no one can see so clearly."
Master Qihui nodded and said, "Thank you, Madam."
It doesn't matter what our Highness wants, but if such a person really becomes the emperor, wouldn't he be the most perfect puppet?
As long as the Hou clan succeeds, they will become the largest clan in Loufan, and the power of the Loufan Dynasty will most likely fall into the hands of the Hou clan.
"I just heard from the master that there is a counselor named Ye Ye next to His Highness Lianhai? He is from Dongbo?"
Master Qihui replied: "Yes."
"How is this person?"
"He has the talent to govern the world."
"Then the master thinks this person can be reused in the future?"
Master Qihui said with some regret: "I have seen this person's talent in person, and I can't help but admire him. However, he is a Dongbo person... If a person from a humble background is reused, I am afraid that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will have some troubles." uncomfortable."
The queen's smile was even brighter this time, like a sunflower illuminated by the sun.
"Master, what do you think...what's the chance of winning?"
"If Jinlan Temple stands beside His Highness Lianhai, even if we try our best, we may only have a 30% chance of winning."
"Well... Thirty percent is quite a lot."
The queen smiled and said: "There is a powerful person in the God-endowing realm in Jinlan Temple, but as far as I know, there are at least two in the capital, and there may be one hidden in the house on the balcony, so it must be counted as three... ..."
Master Qihui said: "I just said that Ye Wuyou from Dongbo is so talented that even I admire him because he said something to me before... He said, Yunzhou City Over there, as long as Loutai Mingyu takes action, the beauty will definitely counterattack with the God-endowed realm."
"When the time comes, if Zong Zheng is at a disadvantage and the tower is difficult to support alone, then he will definitely ask for the support of a strong person in the God-endowed Realm. Others can't do this, and the queen can make the decision."
The Queen was slightly startled: "How can Ye Wuyou conclude that Loutai Mingyu will definitely take action?"
Master Qihui said: "I don't know. Ye Wuyou didn't say anything, but he was extremely sure of what he said to me. I guess he guessed it right."
The queen asked: "What else did he say?"
Master Qihui said: "He also said that if there is a hidden master of talent in the Loutai family, it is the same as not having one, because the Loutai family is just the divine guard of the enemy. Whoever is the emperor, they are the divine guard of that person." .”
The Queen couldn't help but get up when she heard this. She walked back and forth in the room, her mind turning over and over again, constantly calculating the pros and cons.
"If... the beauty really uses the God-endowed realm to fight back, and still suppresses Mingyu on the tower, then at least three God-endowed realms must be used."
The queen looked back at Master Qihui: "Zong Zhengxian is not confident now. Only if he can invite more Fu Shenjing to stand beside him will he be more steadfast, not only for foreign wars, but also for the fight for the throne after his return. A helping hand..."
Master Qihui said: "Ye Wuyou said that in about three months at most, Zongzheng will secretly return to the capital, or find some reason to kill the other princes on the battlefield."
The queen's eyes became brighter, and she strode up to Master Qihui: "Master, how do you think Zong Zheng will be chosen?"
Master Qihui said: "Ye Wuyou said that if he was a prominent person in Zongzheng, of course he would get rid of all his competitors outside and then return with a million troops. In this way, no one would dare to object. It would not matter if he came back secretly. Meaning, unless... the beauty is holding him back, and the army cannot come back, so he can only come back secretly."
The Queen was silent for a moment and then said, "This Ye Wuyou is indeed a man of great talent."
Master Qihui said: "It's a pity that this person's face is short-lived."
The queen said: "Then have you ever seen the face of Lianhai Palace?"
Master Qihui said: "It is a destiny of wealth and honor. You will be carefree and idle for half your life. As long as you don't make mistakes, you may live a long life."
The queen shook her head: "I have also seen His Highness Lianhai's face. It is true that he is rich and has a good life. It may be true that he has been idle for half his life, but longevity...can't be said."
Master Qihui leaned over and said, "Your Majesty is right, I am ashamed of myself."
The queen nodded, and then looked at the people in her family. Some had expressions of joy, some were pretending to be calm, and a few idiots were sitting there in a daze, as if they were listening to heavenly scriptures.
She looked at Master Qihui again: "Master Jinlan Temple's God-giving Realm, is it here?"
Master Qihui nodded slightly: "When I come, everyone comes. Wherever I am, Jinlan Temple is there."
