The thick smoke was billowing, illuminated by the firelight in the night sky, like the ferocious face of a demon, shaking and trance-like, as if it was about to devour the city. The fire was raging, and the flames were billowing several feet high in the wind. It looked like an angry dragon rolling over the earth. "This, it's gone!" Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zao Chang, looked at the sky illuminated by the fire and shook his head slightly. In this huge city, it is inevitable that there will be so many fires a year. This is the first time this year. Together, I just don¡¯t know which family caught the fire, whether it was an ordinary person or a noble family. There is a big difference in the twists and turns, but now Changsun Wuji has no time to estimate these things. The most important thing he has to do is to persuade this boy Li Chengqian to come back. The path he is taking now is extremely dangerous, and if he doesn't pay attention, he will be shattered to pieces. "Chengqian understands all this, but the forces in the DPRK and China will never express their stance easily. Chengqian needs more power to plan the future, otherwise everything will be over when it comes!" Li Chengqian is also a A smart person would not understand that cooperating with the Japanese people is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. But now that Li Er is in his prime years, he holds the imperial artifact in one hand and will never let it go easily. The only object of allegiance to the ministers of the DPRK and China is him. The prince at this time was actually just a false name. Therefore, although Li Chengqian has been a prince for several years, he is not much different from an ordinary prince, and he is not even as free as a prince. Being tied up in the palace every day, if you want to go out to play, you have to be surrounded by a large group of people and protected secretly. You have to think about where you can't go and where you can't go. These things have to be considered for a long time. Deep down in his heart, he has always longed for that kind of free life, like the herdsmen on the grassland, using the sky as their support and the earth as their mat, as free as a gust of wind. But the constraints of his identity determine that every move he makes must be in line with etiquette and must not exceed the slightest. Otherwise, countless officials would read Li Er's book in front of him. This kind of life made his inner ambition constantly suppressed. He wanted to reach the supreme position and drag out all the officials who spoke ill of him. Then live the life you want and go hunting in the Qinling Mountains outside the city. Go boating in the distant East China Sea, go to Mobei to bow and shoot eagles. These things kept appearing in his dreams, torturing him almost to the point of going crazy. So he must seize all the power he can, accumulate these powers in his hands, and then fulfill the ambition in his heart. He wants to ascend to the throne of God, but Li Chengqian has not yet thought of disobeying Li Er. He just wants to show these powers to shock those who have always been against him, and let them know that he is not the one who can be stepped on casually. Children, but people who can threaten their wealth and lives, it is enough to ask them to stop snitching in front of their father. As long as they wait until the father abdicates, the whole world will be theirs. At that time, as long as you If the guy is still here. In good liquidation and liquidation. Recently, Li Chengqian got in touch with the Wonu Kingdom, and he did so through someone he trusted. Moreover, the leader of the group of Japanese slaves quietly arrived in Chang'an and reached a secret agreement with him. All this was done secretly under the cover of that man. Apart from that man and himself, Li Chengqian only talked with his uncle. Changsun Wuji once mentioned that he believed that the number of people in the entire Tang Dynasty who knew about this matter was definitely not more than one palm, and this also included his pillowcase Hou Lian'er, because he didn't know whether he was talking in his sleep or not. "Uncle, do you know how Cheng Qian has spent these years? Do you know how a bird yearning for freedom feels when it is locked in a small birdcage? He often looks at the horizon when he is alone. Clouds, I hope I am one of them, and I can float to the horizon with the wind to take a look! But I don't dare, because there are countless eyes in the Tang Dynasty watching Gu's every move, just waiting for Gu to make a mistake. , because as long as a mistake is made, they will be able to show their faces in front of their father!" Li Chengqian said with some bitterness. He could only say this in front of Changsun Wuji, because only Changsun Wuji, the queen's biological brother, could He would not speak ill of himself in front of his father. This is the conclusion Li Chengqian came to after so many years of verification. "Boy Chengqian, are you thinking about wooing the forces you can come into contact with, and then frightening those officials who gossip?" Changsun Wuji didn't know the little Jiujiu in Li Chengqian's heart, so he directly pointed out Li Chengqian's Thought: "But have you ever thought about it? How do you control those forces? If there is no benefit, who will follow you? As you said, the current Holy Emperor is in its prime, and it is the year of the war. If you want to sit on the throne, at least It will take another thirty years, and this is still calculated according to ordinary standards, so this is a long-term investment. Who is willing to wait for thirty years? During this period, there is only payment and no return. This is absolutely unacceptable to those forces. "I will do it!" "But uncle,"What should be done? Before taking the throne of Dabao, Gu was just a prince in name only, so what could he do to win over these people? "Li Chengqian looked confused. He also knew all this, and he even tried to use some benefits to attract the forces that were moving closer to him. But the things he could come up with were really limited, and these things were attractive to those forces. Not big. ¡°Cheng Qian, you are putting the cart before the horse! " Changsun Wuji was heartbroken. He didn't expect that his nephew, who usually looked very smart, was so naive. He had nothing to win over those people. This was the best joke he had ever heard. "Please ask uncle for some advice! "Li Chengqian saw Changsun Wuji's expression and immediately knew that Changsun Wuji had seen through his methods and would make some suggestions. This is what he has always longed for. Compared with his more than ten years of life experience, and most of them Judging from the experience spent in the deep palace, Changsun Wuji can be said to be thousands of miles away from him. As long as this uncle changes his mind a little, he will come up with a way to win over him. The way of people's hearts, so he looked at Changsun Wuji expectantly. "Boy Chengqian, tell me honestly, have you already been in contact with those Japanese slaves? "Changsun Wuji brought the topic back again. It's not that he didn't want to give Li Chengqian advice, but all this must be based on Li Chengqian himself being able to understand what the things he gave him represent. Otherwise, he would give him a plan. , this kid doesn't use his brain at all, he will just be a reckless man in the future. Changsun Wuji has always believed that people who can use their brains are the ones who enjoy life best, because if you can easily rely on your brain to make a living, why should you spend it? Covered in stinky sweat, we fight for the interests of those who are not full but still hungry. ¡°We have indeed contacted them, and their leader has also talked with the Guhuan, and we have a happy cooperation! "Since Li Chengqian told Changsun Wuji that he planned to contact the Japanese people, he was not going to hide it from his uncle. "Really? Happy working together? I think you were bought and counted for money! "This is why Changsun Wuji came here today. His information may not be the best in the entire Tang Dynasty, but when he wants to know something, he is absolutely capable of getting what he wants in the shortest possible time. News. This is the network and ability that Changsun Wuji has developed over the years. These things are accumulated over the years. If you don¡¯t manage them for a long time, you won¡¯t see much results. But as long as you build them up, you will be able to achieve them in the future. Many things will become much simpler in the years to come. ¡°Why did uncle say this? "Li Chengqian asked with some confusion. The meeting between him and the leader of the Wonu Kingdom was very secret, and the conditions reached were also cryptic. He believed that there would never be any leaks unless "Don't let anyone know. , unless you do nothing! Chengqian boy, you are so careless in what you do! Do you know how many flaws you have exposed along the way? Changsun Wuji was heartbroken, but he said sincerely: "Do you think you can cover up everything with the face of that guy Nalan Fengyin?" If you really want to know about the entire Chang'an Seed Production, then you will definitely appear on the desks of all interested people the day after you do this! First of all, you went to Nalan Yinfeng's house without any concealment, were you afraid that others wouldn't know about your relationship? Although he is the uncle of the crown prince's concubine, he has no blood relationship with you at all. Even if he is close to the Hou family, it is not a reason for you to trust him with everything! Secondly, the action you made was too big, and you actually dared to reach out to the Tang Dynasty Navy! Have you ever wondered where that place is? It is the elite water power of the Tang Dynasty. You actually reached an agreement directly with the Japanese people to exchange two powerful warships for the Japanese people's support! Once again, you have repeatedly underestimated His Highness King Chu! " "This" Li Chengqian was sweating. He had not thought carefully about how his actions had so many shortcomings. "It seems you are really the mastermind behind this!" This trip is not in vain! You went to the East Palace for a while, but you arrived at Duke Zhao's Mansion! "At this moment, a clear voice came in from outside. When they heard this voice, Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji's expressions suddenly changed. "His Royal Highness, King Chu, came from afar and missed the welcome. Please forgive me! "Changsun Wuji is worthy of being a smiling fox. At this moment, as if he had forgotten all his previous words, he smiled so hard at Li Kuan that he laughed behind his ears. He had to laugh, because what he said before Those words were all very unfavorable words about Li Chengqian's collaboration with the enemy. If such words were spread to the court, no one would be able to escape. They would have revealed too many secrets about Li Chengqian and would have been listened to by Li Kuan. If you fool him, then something big will happen. ¡°Li Chengqian, do you want to be demoted to a commoner? To do such a thing? "Li Kuan said with a heavy expression. He did not expect that he would come back this time.He was going to kill Lord Nalan who Gaoyangzi had betrayed, but he ended up here by some strange combination of circumstances. (To be continued.)
