Next to the tea table with huanghuali curly grass pattern, Wei Changtian casually added a handful of refreshing Ruinao incense to the incense burner.
Now, he finally understood the purpose of Gui Pei'an's trip.
Just say that this old man couldn't have come all the way to Shuzhou just to see him. Juebi had more important things to do.
It seems that this should be the case now.
Obviously, the situation in Daning in the past year has made Da Li, which has always been weak, unwilling to continue to be a vassal state of the former, so it wants to find an opportunity to "turn over."
But they were afraid that in the end "stealing the chicken would end up losing the rice" and wanted to leave a way out, so they prepared to use this "non-public" method to cause more chaos in Daning.
Of course, no matter what, the 100,000 troops are real.
Since Dali is willing to put so many people into the battlefield, he, as the "direct beneficiary", must pay a certain price.
It's just... is the price for joining Kuixing Academy too small?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. After Wei Changtian figured this out, the excitement in his heart calmed down a little.
"Returning to the First Assistant, you just said that you wanted me to enter the palace and serve as an elder."
Looking at Gui Pei'an, Wei Changtian asked slowly: "I wonder what this elder does on weekdays?"
"It's nothing special."
Gui Pei'an answered truthfully: "I give lectures to my disciples when I have nothing to do. Occasionally, I may need to go out to do some errands."
"So... I need to stay in Kuixing Academy all the time?" Wei Changtian frowned.
"This is natural. Since you are the elder of the academy, it is best for the young master to stay in the academy for a long time."
Gui Pei'an smiled meaningfully: "Of course, it doesn't matter if the young master doesn't want to."
"But... the young master's destiny is to stay in Kuixing Academy."
Fate cards, similar to Zimu jade, can always indicate the life and death of the associated person.
Of course ordinary people don't have this thing. Only "big shots" like Wei Changtian with extremely important status would use umbilical cord blood to make a life tablet at birth.
People die and cards break.
And if the life card is shattered while the person is still alive, there will be a certain backlash.
Although it will not directly cause death, it will also cause serious and irreversible damage to that person.
Therefore, all forces are extremely cautious about preserving life cards.
For example, the only people who currently know where the life cards of everyone in the Wei family are stored are Wei Zhaohai and Wei Xianzhi, and even Wei Changtian will not know it before he officially takes over as the head of the Wei family.
Therefore, Gui Pei'an asked Wei Changtian to hand over the life cards to Kuixing Academy for preservation, and his motives were already obvious.
Depend on! Let’s just say the price won’t be so small!
As long as he masters his destiny card, he will work hard for Kuixing Academy.
Going further, even the Wei family may have to help Kuixing Academy with their affairs!
What you think is quite beautiful!
Of course, Wei Changtian couldn't hand over his life card, so there was no need to talk about joining Kuixing Academy.
"Ahem, let's go back to the chief assistant, I'm afraid this won't work."
"Master Wei..."
Gui Pei'an seemed to have expected this, so he just shook his head slightly: "I know what you are worried about."
"But Kuixing Academy is not yet ready to do what you are worried about."
"There are tens of thousands of disciples in the academy, and many of them have evil intentions and even rebel against the palace."
"But Kuixing Academy has never broken their life cards."
"I think the young master should understand this rule that is known to everyone."
"..."
No sect force is allowed to break the life tablets of its disciples. This is indeed an unwritten rule that is common throughout the world.
Even if this disciple did something hugely wrong, he could only kill people directly and could not be punished by "breaking cards".
After all, once this happens, it will put everyone in the entire sect in danger.
This time the sect can break other people's life cards, but next time it can break its own?
Such rules are for the "sustainable development" of the sect, and as a huge force with tens of thousands of disciples, Kuixing Academy may indeed have been strictly abiding by this rule.
But Wei Changtian didn't care about this.
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over his life card.
"Returning to the first assistant, I naturally believe that Kuixing Academy will abide by the rules."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian had already thought of the reason.
"The reason why I can't enter the palace is actually because...you should know about Tianluo Sect, right?"
"Um?"
Hearing that Wei Changtian suddenly mentioned Tianluo Sect, Gui Pei'an couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Of course I have heard that I had a relationship with Leader Qin a few years ago."
"Is it?"
Wei Changtian smiled calmly, and then said something that made Gui Pei'an's expression change instantly.
"To be honest, I am the leader of the Tianluo Sect now."
"..."
For a moment, there was silence in the quiet room.
Gui Pei'an stared at Wei Changtian in disbelief. After a long while, he slowly asked:
"Master Wei, Master Qin has already..."
"No, my grandpa is living well."
Wei Changtian interrupted: "He just got a secret skill a while ago, and he wants to use it to try to break through to the first level."
"In this way, he naturally had no time to pay too much attention to the affairs of Tianluo Sect, so he passed the position of leader to me."
"..."
Secret skills, first level breakthrough.
Gui Pei'an, who is also in the late second grade and has a great obsession with the first grade, still believes in this statement.
In addition, he didn't think Wei Changtian would joke about this kind of thing, so after being stunned for a while, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.
"I see, then it seems that Mr. Wei is indeed not suitable to enter our Kuixing Academy..."
"Yeah, what a pity."
Wei Changtian shook his head and made a "struggling" look, and then slowly probed:
"Why don't you return to the first assistant position and change the conditions?"
Although he couldn't enter Kuixing Academy, Wei Changtian still wanted to fight for the one hundred thousand soldiers.
Gui Pei'an had obviously anticipated this situation a long time ago, so he immediately said frankly:
"Master Wei, would you like to give a lecture at Kuixing Academy?"
Lecture?
Isn’t this simple?
Even though I don’t know shit, I can definitely agree to this first!
But how can this condition become easier?
"Return to the first assistant..."
After pondering for a moment, Wei Changtian did not respond to Gui Pei'an's "lecture invitation", but asked softly: "But there is a second condition?"
"have."
Gui Peian paused for several breaths this time.
He dipped a finger in the tea cup, and then drew a strange outline on the tea table.
"This is......"
Looking at the pattern drawn by the tea, Wei Changtian looked puzzled: "Gui Shoufu, what are you drawing?"
"That's the second condition."
Gui Pei'an lightly clicked on several locations in the outline and said slowly:
"An, Pei, Su, Lan, Wei, Ding."
"If the young master succeeds, I, Dali, want these six states."
"..."
In an instant, Wei Changtian finally understood what Gui Pei'an was painting.
What he drew was exactly the map of Daning!
And as those six words came out, Dali's ambition became clear.
I will send 100,000 troops to help you. If you succeed, you will cede the land of the six states to me.
For Daning, which has thirty-six states, six states are not too many, but they are by no means too few.
More importantly, if Wei Changzhen really agrees, he will be a complete "national sinner".
The rebellion can only be regarded as an internal conflict in Daning.
Even if Ning Yongnian is eventually ousted and replaced by Ning Yuke, Daning will still be Daning.
But if the land of six states is given to Dali... the nature of it will change.
"Return to the First Assistant, what if I fail to succeed?"
Suddenly, Wei Changtian asked: "Isn't it a big loss for you?"
"There is no business in the world where you can only make a profit without losing money. If the young master really fails to succeed, then Dali will just admit it."
Gui Peian looked at Wei Changtian with a smile and reached out to wipe away the tea on the table.
"Mr. Wei, what do you think of these two conditions of yours?"
"I think......"
Contrary to Gui Pei'an's expectation, Wei Changtian hardly hesitated.
He didn't even bargain, he just smiled and nodded like a traitorous minister seeking glory.
"It's very reasonable, that's it."
