Chapter 99: Prepare for War (1)
"Wencai, Dad Wu is carefully nurturing you. Why are you so impulsive and revealing your identity? Do you know how big the consequences will be?" Wen Zhang said to his favorite son with a heartache.
Wencai didn't dare to show off in front of his father, so he could only lower his head and listen to the teachings. He was too impulsive, and this was not the emotion that a person who did big things should have.
A flash of light in Wen Zhang's eyes. Even if this matter didn't happen, Wen Cai would not be the son-in-law. He had already seen Duan Xin's heart. He thought that it would be fine if Duan Xin's life was left and he would be a puppet Supreme King. Unexpectedly, Duan Xin actually found a powerful helper by choosing the son-in-law, and he was not an ordinary opponent. If they were together, it would be very unfavorable to his plan. Now he had to take action first.
"You are too reckless to deal with that Nalan Piaoxue. Doing this will only allow them to unite against us. You go down and think about it!" Wen Cai locked Wen Cai in the room and thought about his mistakes, and no one allowed him to see him.
Although Wencai is narrow-minded, he is not a stupid person. With the abilities of Changfeng and others, he will definitely notice that someone wants to kill someone with a knife, and it is easy to associate himself. Moreover, Changfeng is now a father-in-law and son-in-law with Duan Xin. He naturally may join forces against the same enemy. As long as one of them is raised, he believes that the alliance is easy to form. It is their Wen family who asked Nongying to kidnap Xiao Xiao from the Leyi Hall. He was a little too anxious and felt a little annoyed, but there was no way. It was already done, and it was impossible to renege.
Now the two brothers should be hiding in the quilt and laughing secretly. They made such a big mistake on impulse. The two brothers who have always been hostile to themselves have not taken any damage. They don’t know what to do with their father. They are both dissatisfied with their father’s love for themselves alone, and their talents are above the two of them. They are confined. I really don’t know what the situation is going on outside, and their resentment towards Changfeng deepens a little.
Wen Zhang immediately summoned his intelligence personnel to closely monitor Changfeng and others' every move. From Changfeng entering the palace to leaving the palace, people watched from afar. Of course, they would not foolishly follow him. Wen Zhang's underground power in Dianjing is very large. Changfeng's whereabouts cannot be hidden from the gangsters on the street. Besides, Changfeng is now a public figure, and who would not recognize him when he walks on the street?
When Changfeng left the palace and went to the palace, the news that Princess Caiyan's wedding was heard. Wen Da sighed greatly. It seemed that Duan Xin showed no sign of taking action. As for Xiao Xiao, who was too big, it was useless. There was no need to hide the exposed things. Just let them rescue them. As long as there was no direct evidence, what could he do to the Wen family? If you want a beauty, what kind of thing he couldn't find after becoming the king of Dian Kingdom?
After Changfeng settled Xiao Xiao, he went to see Duan Caiyan, told her about the matter, and asked her to send someone to take care of her. Duan Caiyan had also heard of some rumors between Changfeng and Xiao Xiao, and thought that Changfeng was interested in Xiao Xiao and she was not a jealous woman, so he agreed and let Xiao Xiao stay in the villa.
Changfeng is hard to say, and I don’t know how to say it. Just settle down first and explain later.
It was still Changfeng who lived in the room in Caiyan Villa for two days. Changfeng took off his clothes and planned to sleep. It was getting bright and he didn't sleep all night. He would go to see Wulin later. He had not yet decided to say anything!
Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze.
Today, Duan Xin came to court and said: "This envoy Wen from Loulan has been in Dianjing for more than half a year. All the ministers know his purpose. Now Loulan City is in danger. If Loulan City is broken, I don't know where Loul Wuyun's next target will be. So what we have to discuss today is whether we will help Loulan."
Wu Xiang and Wu Gong first stood up and said: "Master, our Dian Kingdom is a neutral country. The old minister thinks it is not appropriate to interfere in other people's affairs."
With short-sighted eyes, Duan Xin is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with martial arts. No wonder this kind of person has fought with Wen Zhang for more than ten years and has never taken advantage of it. He said in a deep voice: "Does Lou Wuyun have to fight to Dianjing before it is our business?"
When Wu Gong heard this, he was so scared that he knelt down and said, "I don't mean this. If I anger the other party, it will give the other party more reason to use military force against the Dian Kingdom, the lord."
Duan Xin said with a slightly angry face: "Wu Aiqing asked him to get up, but the Lone King does not plan to send troops into Loulan. What's there to worry about?"
Wu Gong wiped his cold sweat and said, "How can the master help Loulan?" Wu Gong is loyal, but his talent is limited.
"The Lone King plans to send 20,000 troops to the Louyue border to suppress Louyue's ambition and let Loulan draw some border guards to quell the rebellion. What do you think of this proposal?" Duan Xin said with a long time ago.
"This matter is absolutely impossible, Lord." What stood up to oppose the article. If Duan Xin wants to transfer troops, he must transfer the troops he controls. This will make it much easier to deal with him. He saw Duan Xin's intentions and naturally stood up to oppose it. "Lou Yue's troops are good and have enough food. This move may cause the war between the two countries to rekindle?"
Duan Xin knew that Wen Qing would object at the beginning, but he had already thought about it and said: "The Wen Qing family is too worried. We are just a routine mobilization to conduct an exercise with the border guards. As long as you don't do too much and don't talk, you should be fine."
The article had nothing to say. It seemed that Duan Xin had already taken into account everything they wanted to say. The dispatch of troops may have been irreversible. The only thing that can be persuaded is to let Duan Xin adjust the number of troops sent, so he stood up again and said, "Twenty thousand soldiers are half of the soldiers in Dianjing. Should the master consider reducing the number of troops? The safety of Dianjing cannot be lost."
The article was supported by many ministers, and Duan Xin had already expected it. He pondered for a moment and said, "Then cut it by half, what about ten thousand?"
"Ten thousand is good, ten thousand is good." The ministers below started to discuss. Wu Gong was in charge of the garrison of the capital, so naturally the fewer it could be transferred, and they also came out to express their approval.
However, the purpose in Wen Zhang and Duan Xin's heart has not yet been achieved. Wen Zhang wanted to say it, but was stopped by Duan Xin and said, "Don't say it again, five thousand, no less, no less, no less is meaningless." Whether you agree or object, Duan Xin finally achieved his goal.
Wen Zhang said resentful, knowing that it would be unreasonable for him to oppose him any more. The person who was accusing him of Wugong would come out to accuse him, so he agreed. If he really controls his 5,000 troops, he will only have more than 20,000 in his hands. If he removes 5,000 at once, how can he not feel sorry for him?
Duan Xin didn't say anything when he saw that everyone was silent. He stood up and said, "Transfer the will of the orphan king, quickly select 5,000 elite soldiers to go to the border for exercises. The specific matters will be left to the Wenqing family. After retreating from the court, Wenqing's family will come to the orphan king's study."
I originally thought that today's morning court would discuss the princess' wedding, hoping to get some good things from it. What is the purchase and the ceremonial ceremonies are all good things, but I didn't know that nothing was wrong. I was disappointed and went back.
Duan Xin’s imperial study room.
"What's wrong with the Lord asking for the old minister?" Wen Zhang has not completely broken up with Duan Xin yet. Of course, he still has the courtesy of his subordinates to meet Duan Xindao.
Duan Xin laughed and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I want to talk to Wenqing's family about Caiyan's wedding. If I had just mentioned it in the court, I didn't know how to argue, so the Gu Wang planned to listen to the Qing family's opinions first. Anyway, there is still plenty of time."
The article did not expect Duan Xin to come to him for this matter. He was already ecstatic about asking him to be responsible for sending troops just now. Such a good opportunity to transfer some people loyal to Duan Xin. If he knew that he was responsible for this matter, why bother to object? It would be better to send him and those who were martial arts to the border. However, such a good thing made him alert, would there be any conspiracy? But he was relieved now. Duan Xin obviously put Duan Caiyan's wedding first, just for his own use. If it were at the wedding ceremony, Mo Changfeng and
Duan Xin's family will all return to the west. At that time, he will push the responsibility to the dead man Mo Changfeng, and he will naturally become the king of the Dian Kingdom. At that time, the Heavenly Demon Sect will be the largest sect in the world and the supreme martial arts world. I am extremely excited when I think of this, but he dare not reveal any flaws to let Duan Xin notice. After all, Duan Xin is not an ordinary monarch, smart and careful, and some means. He has a Falcon organization under his command, and his article has never been able to enter. I heard that Duan Caiyan is still its leader, and his strength cannot be ignored. It is better to test it first.
The article's thoughts were spinning rapidly and said, "Is it too hasty for the Lord to set the wedding ten days later?"
Duan Xin said: "Do you have any concerns?"
Wen Zhang cleared his throat and said, "First of all, it's the problem of the guests. It's such a big deal for the princess to get married, wouldn't it be a bit rude if it's not just invited countries on the mainland to come to watch the ceremony?"
Duan Xin nodded and said, "Yes, Wen Aiqing was considerate. This matter was not considered by the Lone King. What should the Qing family thinks about it?"
"The old minister means to change the wedding into an engagement ceremony, and then hold a wedding after guests from various countries arrive. What do you think?" the article said.
"What the Qing family said is not without reason, but the Lone King has issued an order to get married ten days later, how can he break his trust in the world?" Duan Xinbao was so embarrassed.
The wedding was originally a cover, and Duan Xin didn't think too much about it. As a result, he gave Wen Zhang the opportunity to break the engagement, but the marriage could not be changed. The old guy was still considering his son. Could it be that he wanted to obtain his throne through Cai Yan? Duan Xin was a little suspicious.
This is also a false appearance that Wen Zhang wanted to give Duan Xin, making him relax his vigilance against himself and think that he was still seizing power through Duan Caiyan. In fact, he had already decided to assassinate Duan Xin's family and blame Mo Changfeng and his group for the matter.
Although Duan Xin didn't understand Wen's heart for a while, everything had been decided long ago. How could he change it? He said: "This matter is related to the prestige of the Lone King, how can it be changed? Wen Aiqing, it's better to leave it to you to do it. You are more familiar with this kind of thing."
Originally, this matter was left to the eunuch of Sili, Liu Huanran, but Duan Xin also wanted to test whether Wen Zhang really wanted to attack him. If he refused this matter, it would mean that there was a ghost.
Sure enough, Wen Zhang knew that he must not participate in this matter, otherwise the finger would point to him afterwards. It would be that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he found a reason to shirk: "Master, this is not in line with the ritual system. The princess's wedding is a royal family matter, and it is all organized by the palace. The old minister is an outsider and is not suitable to participate in it."
Duan Xin suddenly felt a little illuminated. Wen Zhang was indeed inappropriate and planned to do something to himself at the wedding. Then he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then forget it. The Lone King has sent people from the inner court to handle it."
Shortly after Wen Zhang left, Duan Xin said to Liu Huanran who was following him: "How is it? Do you hear it?"
Liu Huanran said calmly: "This old fox is going to do it, and it's the night of the wedding."
Duan Xin sighed: "I didn't expect that our confusion would make him want to kill. And our losses may be minimized."
"In this way, it's all clear." Liu Huanran said with
"The plan will never keep up with the changes. Huanran, you can go to Caiyan Villa quickly and let Mo Changfeng enter the palace tonight." Duan Xin ordered.
Liu Huanran panicked and disappeared into Duan Xin's imperial study. Duan Xin sighed that his martial arts skills were so high that Duan Xin sighed that he was not as good as Liu Huanran. Over the years, his state work hard, and his progress in martial arts was far inferior to that of Liu Huanran.
Changfeng woke up and hurriedly asked someone to visit the Wu Mansion.
I hurried to the martial arts mansion, and I came back from the court. When I saw Changfeng, I hurried forward to salute: "Mr. Prince Consort, the old minister has never come to visit me. I'm asking you to come to visit me first. It's really a sin, a sin." No matter what Changfeng's origin is, his current identity is the prince consort, and he is much higher than his martial arts minister.
He is the Wu Prime Minister of Dian Kingdom, and Changfeng had to say politely: "The Wu Prime Minister is so polite, so it is the younger generation who should come to visit the elders first."
Wu Gong laughed proudly and welcomed Changfeng and Guo Huai who was accompanying him in.
Wu Gong took off his court uniform, changed into casual clothes before he came out to greet Changfeng: "The old minister is negligent. It's uncomfortable to wear court uniforms at home."
It seems that this martial arts master is a straightforward person. Changfeng said: "You are polite to Wu Xiang. In addition to visiting Wu Xiang today, Piaoxue also wants to visit the martial arts world, the number one talented man in the Dian Kingdom. I wonder if Brother Wu is in the mansion?"
It turned out that he didn't come to see him specially. Wu Gong was a little unhappy, but he also came specially. He couldn't lose his manners and said to a servant next to him: "Is Lin'er in the mansion? Are you asking him to come here."
The servant replied, "Young Master Lin has gone out, it seems to have gone to Xinlefang."
Wu Gong was furious when he heard this, and said, "He is about to become an official, why are you still going to that kind of place for something?"
The servant knelt down in fear and said, "I heard that the courtesan girl Xiao Xiao from Cinaishou has been redeemed. Young Master Lin ran over to see who has such great ability."
Wu Gong smiled at Changfeng awkwardly and said, "Mr. Prince Consort, the old minister is negligent in discipline. He is curious by nature in this martial arts world, and the old minister has no choice."
