Chapter 408 Dilemma
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Wuyan's face and he smiled and said, "Master Yang's kung fu has improved!"
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "You are joking. How come my kung fu has improved. High Priest. Since Mr. Yang has come, is it appropriate for you to avoid him?"
"Ha ha……"
The high priest laughed and then slowly walked out of the house. While walking, he was shaking a palm fan in his hand. Then he bowed to Zhao Yuan and smiled: "Sect Master Yang is still sorry. I am used to taking naps. I just woke up. I talked happily when I saw you, and it was not easy to disturb me, so I didn't come out!"
Zhao Yuan also bowed and smiled, "You are polite to the High Priest. I wonder what the High Priest intended?"
The high priest came over, and someone took a chair and sat in front of Zhao Yuan, saying, "Has this national teacher decided?"
Zhao Yuan said: "It has indeed been decided that he has asked Chen to write to the Ministry of Rites. Now it depends on how the Ministry of Rites arranges it. According to my estimate, the Ministry of Rites will agree."
The high priest was surprised: "Will the Ministry of Rites ask an outsider to go to Taizhou? Isn't the Japanese pirates over there causing serious trouble? Isn't this going to be very dangerous?"
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Dangerous? What the high priest implies is that the court thinks the Japanese pirates are dangerous, or are those left-minded people?"
The high priest said: "According to the court's understanding, it should be those Japanese pirates. After all, Japanese pirates in Taizhou are rampant now, and the court seems to have not completely suppressed them for a while!"
Zhao Yuan said: "Not suppressing does not mean that the court is in powerless situation for those Japanese pirates now. The national teacher and his group still have the ability to protect them. Besides, it is not to let them go to the battlefield. At worst, they can only watch them. And the observation is for them to win. Will they take them into a dangerous situation? In fact, the purpose of the national teacher is to let the officials who accompany you to have a good look. Even if the Ming Dynasty was already very weak in their eyes, they still couldn't provoke existence, so as not to attack those who were thinking about how to occupy the whole world to understand what war and gaps were!"
The high priest smiled and said, "You can see that this national teacher is really worried about the country and the people."
Zhao Yuan said: "I can't judge whether I worry about the country or the people, but there is one thing that the high priest also thinks that this is the best opportunity to attract the left scholars. It is also a good opportunity to catch them all in one place!"
The high priest said, "So you tell us about this?"
Zhao Yuan said: "Yes, as for the reason, I guess the high priest already knows it, so I won't say much. How to decide whether to participate depends on you, I just bring the news!"
He stood up slowly and said, "So high priest, say goodbye!"
He said this, bowed to the two of them and said, "Two, say goodbye. In addition, if it is fast, there will be movement in the next few days. Please be careful!"
After saying that, he slowly walked out of the door.
There were only two people left in the yard at this moment.
Neither Wuyan nor the High Priest wanted to speak.
After a while, Wuyan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Actually, I have been wondering whether Jinyiwei and Dongchang would be happy to see us fight to the death?"
In fact, this is not the first time Wu Yan has said such a thing.
After putting down the teacup, the streets were: "The Jinyiwei provided us with a place for the people of the Left Sect to hide, and then we came out to destroy them. But not long after, the Dongchang provided our hiding place to the people of the Left Sect, and our people were also killed. From beginning to end, whether it was the Dongchang or the Jinyiwei, they did not pay any losses, so they wiped out dozens of people from the Brahma Sect, who were first-class! Even before, it was very difficult for them to do this, except for the battle in Xishan."
The high priest said: "Your suspicion is not unreasonable. The key is that we did not disclose this to the Jinyiwei."
Wuyan said: "This is their cleverness. We did not use this master of hiding place and the others. In other words, we can't blame the Jinyiwei at all. Moreover, the information provided by the Dongchang, the people who killed them were from the Zuo Sect, and they had nothing to do with the Jinyiwei no matter what! I am very suspicious now. The Dongchang and Jinyiwei, who seem to be dissatisfied, have actually secretly colluded, just hoping to see us and the Zuo Sect, or that the three parties are fighting to the death!"
Wuyan is not a stupid person. In fact, he already has such a conjecture, and this conjecture is the best explanation for the current situation.
The high priest said, "What you mean is that this time they plan to use the national master as bait, and then take the opportunity to lure the people of the Zuo Cult. The Zuo Cult may, with the help of the Dongchang, immediately follow their plan, and then want to take the opportunity to eliminate the national master's men? Of course, if we also participate, we will also eliminate us. Even if we do not, we hope to greatly weaken our strength?"
Wuyan smiled and said, "High Priest, you are smarter than me, so naturally you understand in your heart, so now our question is, go or not?"
The high priest was silent, slowly picked up the teacup, gently used the lid to slim the foam, and then did not drink it into the innermost part of him. He was also very confused.
Just like Wu Yan, the trip to Taizhou is likely to be a trap, and this trap is not arranged to target one party, not the national teacher, not the left sect, not the oneself, but the three parties, and others! They completely want to set up a plan to fight the three parties and greatly eliminate the power of the three parties, or in other words, all three parties will be eliminated in this battle, which is what they most willing to see.
Therefore, the most critical issue now is that even though he knew that this was a pit, the national teacher had already jumped. Perhaps he felt that he represented the moderates in the country and had originally thought about maintaining peace and prosperity between the two countries. The Ming Dynasty would not want him to die in the Ming Dynasty, so he was not worried and was willing to be a bait.
The national master jumped because he was fearless. So what about the left sect? The national master left the capital and his defense was relatively relaxed, which was the best time to start. It was obvious that this was a trap. Will the left sect jump?
If the Zuo Cult has gone and they have never beaten the high priest, that is of course the best, but if the Zuo Cult wins, then I will face the Zuo Cult directly. Will I regret not sending people to completely help the national master eliminate the Zuo Cult?
For a moment, the national teacher was a little confident and difficult to make a decision.
"The high priest is a little difficult to decide?"
Wuyan suddenly interrupted, "The tea is a little cold. Do you want to fill it again?"
The high priest came to his senses, put the tea to his mouth, took a sip, and said, "You are right, it's difficult to make a decision. First of all, I have to worry that the left sect loses. We have maintained our strength and can compete with the right sect. Of course, everyone is happy. On the other hand, I am worried that the national sect loses, so we will only stay in the Ming Dynasty for a long time and will never be able to turn over!"
Wuyan said, "What if the Zuo Sect doesn't send anyone?"
The high priest said in surprise: "The Left Cult does not send people to you? How could they miss such a good opportunity?"
He said silently: "The opportunity is indeed good, but they are not brainless. Everyone knows that this is a trap. Will they still drill into it? On the way to Taizhou in the Ming Dynasty, people should be sent to the place. Don't say it, there will be hundreds of people. The Zuo Sect's troops are just like ours. They attack the national sect so carelessly, and some of them hit the stone with eggs. The chance of success is not high, and the casualties are also heavy. If they weigh it, they may only send people to follow, and they may not necessarily use it to assassinate them."
The high priest thought about it after the silent words, nodded slightly, and said, "There is some reason. The national master set a trap. Whether this left sect will jump is another matter, but if it were me, I will definitely go."
Wuyan was puzzled and said, "I will definitely go?"
Since the Zuo Sect knows that this is a trap, why should he go? He thinks that his life will not last long?
The high priest said: "The Ming Dynasty did cause heavy losses to the Japanese pirates in the capital, but is it just you? If only this is the strength, the Ming Dynasty would not have been able to wipe out them for so long. Moreover, they lost 2,000 people in the capital. I believe that the Japanese pirates also want to take revenge. If the troops of the Left Sect directly contacted the Japanese pirates and hid them without hiding them, and they also urgently used the power of the Dongchang to monitor the marching routes of the national pirates and others, etc., then they would be mixed with the Japanese pirates and send troops to ambush them. Do you think they can't destroy the national pirates in one fell swoop?"
Wu Yan said: "You said the Left Cult may collude with Japanese pirates?"
Unexpectedly, he had always felt that the Left Cult had to deal with the High Priest, and that it was all his own strength. Now, when the High Priest spoke out about this possibility, he felt extremely surprised.
The high priest said, "Why is it impossible? This Left Sect was originally the Ming Dynasty people wanted to get rid of it and then get it faster. The Japanese pirates were also the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend. Do you think that the people of the Left Sect would be concerned about the reactions of the Ming Dynasty people and dare not form an alliance with the Japanese pirates?"
Wuyan said: "Of course they will estimate the reaction of the Ming Dynasty!"
The high priest said, "That's right. If the high priest and the second prince are killed, the Ming Dynasty will naturally be unable to protect itself. Maybe their country will be in a big army. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will naturally have much less pressure on the coastal areas when facing the pressure from the three parties. This kind of thing can be done with very few soldiers. Why don't the Left Cult? "
In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. The high priest believes in his intuition very much. If the Zuo Sect uses the reasons he just said to negotiate with the Japanese pirates, the chances of the two sides reaching an agreement are very high.
After a moment of silence, he said, "If the Japanese pirates also participate, this matter will be a bit complicated. Dongchang uses the Left Sect, why wouldn't the Left Sect use the East Sect? Dongchang is a little impatient to let us fight and then reap the benefits of the fisherman. Therefore, he will do his best to provide the Left Sect with information they want, but he did not expect that this would fall into the Left Sect trap! If the Japanese pirates have enough troops, even if you have a master from the Right Sect, you may not be able to stop it! According to what you said, the original right Sect's thing that was sure to be sure of the right Sect has become a sure thing for others. What do you think? What should we do in this situation? If the national teacher is really destroyed, the Zuo family will deal with us next."
The high priest said, "How can I not know this? So now for us, it is how to use this opportunity to fight against the Left Cult and the National Master. We have to participate, but we must ensure that we win at least we still have enough power."
Wuyan said with a hint of laughter and crying: "Is this a little high?"
The high priest said, "It is because of the high, so you must think about it carefully. Anyway, there is still time now, so you can think about it carefully."
Wu Yan said, "Why am I thinking?"
The high priest said, "Because you are smarter, at least smarter than everyone else!"
Wuyan said: "This is true, so I'll think about it carefully. As for whether you can come up with any results, you'd better not expect too much. What you gave me is simply a difficult problem! However, I think I have to tell Yang Kai about the possibility of colluding with Japanese pirates. If they fail to observe, the Japanese pirates have enough troops. I'm afraid that with their little guard, they can't protect them at all!"
The high priest said, "This is absolutely fine!"
Wuyan left the yard and then went straight to Zhao Yuan's residence. It was still early now and he didn't know how to go to the national teacher yet. Most of the time, he liked to collapse at home.
Sure enough, Zhao Yuan had just bought the yard and followed him speechlessly. Seeing this, Zhao Yuan said a little strangely: "I just left, you are catching up now. Are you discussing so quickly?"
Wu Yan said: "The discussion is certainly not confirmed yet, but when I talked to my high priest just now, I thought of a possibility of paying attention to the possibility of annihilation of the national teacher."
After he said this, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel nervous and said, "What's the possibility?"
Wu Yan said: "The possibility of the left sect colluding with Japanese pirates!"
Zhao Yuan was a little disbelief and said, "The left sect colluded with Japanese pirates?"
