A Clash of Gods - Chapter 239

[Chapter 238 Trading]

When they came out of the palace, Xue Lingfeng was fast, and the matter was urgent, so he and Qi Ning were the first to leave the palace gate.

Outside the palace gate, Xue Lingfeng said: “Master Hou is still too impulsive today. I said last night that no matter what happens, Master Hou should not involve himself in it.”

Qi Ning knew that Xue Lingfeng meant taking the guilt for him in his early days, and smiled: “Uncle Xue still can’t hear it. Even if I don’t take the initiative to stand up, someone will bring me in.” He frowned and asked, “Yes. , who is that Lord Lu?”

“He is Lu Xiao, the left servant of the Ministry of War. Although he is only the left servant, he is now in charge of the Ministry of War.” Xue Lingfeng explained: “Although the Marquis of Jindao has the name of the Ministry of War, he is very old, and he has been in charge for the past two years. It is said that he is afflicted with all kinds of diseases, and he does not even go out, nor does he have the stamina and energy to take care of the military department. Lu Xiao was a fierce general who fought with the Marquis of the Golden Saber. The waiter will naturally handle the affairs of the military department.”

Only then did Qi Ning understand that Lu Xiao, whose nostrils were smoking, was the Minister of War, but it seemed that the Ministry of War was the force of the Marquis of Jindao.

During these days in the capital, Qi Ning had an understanding of the reputations of the four hereditary marquis, and he knew how the Marquis of Zhongyi and Marquis Wuxiang behaved, but Marquis Jindao had never seen them before.

“Marquis, the emperor said that you already have a special order for deploying troops, why didn’t you take it out last night?” Xue Lingfeng hesitated for a while, and finally asked in a low voice, “If you took out the dispatch document last night, and the emperor’s Special purpose, we should do things more comprehensively.”

Qi Ning was startled, then smiled and said, “Uncle Xue, if others ask this, I will ignore it, but since you asked…!” He looked around and approached Xue Lingfeng’s ear. After whispering a few words, Xue Lingfeng was stunned, then showed an intriguing look, and smiled: “So it is.”

“Jinyi Hou is young and strong, but it’s not like us old men can compare.” Suddenly hearing a voice from behind, Qi Ning looked back, only to see the King of Huainan walking slowly.

Although the King of Huainan was over forty years old, he was well maintained, looked young, and was obviously full of energy.

Qi Ning and Xue Lingfeng handed over at the same time, and the King of Huainan waved his hand and said with a smile: “This king has never cared about this, so don’t be polite in private.” Xiang Xue Lingfeng said: “Commander Xue, you still have something to do, so don’t delay. Now, official business is important, this king and Jinyi Hou can say a few words casually.”

Xue Lingfeng glanced at Qi Ning and cupped his hands: “Resign from my humble position!”

When Xue Lingfeng left, the King of Huainan smiled and said, “Marquis Jinyi, why don’t you accompany this king for a walk?”

After going out of the palace gate, you have to pass through a long marble square, walk through the square in front of the palace, and go down the steps before you can leave by car and horseback.

Qi Ning respectfully said, “Your Highness, please!”

The King of Huainan had his hands on his back, and Qi Ning followed behind. Although he knew that the King of Huainan and the little emperor were secretly competing, as a prince of Jinyi, it was impossible to walk with the King of Huainan, but so far, the two sides have not There is a substantial conflict, and Xiao Zhang is also a prince, so it is better to be humble in front of him.

“The future generations are formidable.” King Huainan walked slowly, but sighed: “Jinyi Hou, in fact, today in the imperial study, this king is quite emotional.”

“What does your lord mean?”

“When this king sees you, he thinks of himself when he was young.” King Huainan said with a smile: “He is full of enthusiasm and dares to speak bluntly.”

Qi Ning was stunned, not knowing what King Huainan meant, but he still said, “Your Majesty is incomparably precious, not something Qi Ning can compare to.”

The King of Huainan laughed, and seemed to be quite happy, and said, “Do you know what this king appreciates about you?”

“My lord, please advise!”

“You are doing things with one heart and one mind for the country, and you not only dare to speak out, but you can also come up with a solution. This is what this king appreciates.” The king of Huainan said: “Some people are eloquent, but they really want to do things, but they are not. There’s nothing to do, hehe, the corpse’s vegetarian meal can only be mistaken for me.”

Qi Ning naturally heard something in the words of King Huainan,

But who is this corpse vegetarian meal referring to?

Is it the Marquis of Zhongyi?

Is it the God of Simon?

Or the emperor?

“Marquis Jinyi, what do you think about the matter of the Black Lotus Sect?” Before Qi Ning could think about it, the King of Huainan suddenly asked.

Qi Ning knew that an old guy like this, pulling himself to chat, could never be just to enhance his feelings.

“Your Highness, this junior is still young and has limited knowledge. The juniors really don’t dare to talk nonsense about such important national events.” Qi Ning deliberately made a nervous expression.

The King of Huainan laughed and said: “This king already knows what happened last night. You know that the epidemic is going to happen, you work all night, and you are worried about the country. That’s no trivial matter. You don’t have to think about it. Let’s chat a few words, even if you say it wrong, that’s fine. And since you inherited the title of Marquis of Jinyi, you will inevitably have to participate in more state affairs in the future.

Qi Ning thought to himself that it seemed that this capital was really unusual. He had to know where he was. These old guys seemed to know all about him. It only meant that they had been paying attention to him secretly all the time.

“My lord, what Zhongyi Hou said is not bad, not to mention whether the virus outbreak is related to the Black Lotus Sect, even if it is really related to them, we can’t be too hasty, we need to separate them from Miaoren Seventy-two Caves first. , can’t be confused.” Qi Ning said cautiously: “What a strong dragon can’t overwhelm the local snakes, those Miao people can be regarded as the local snakes of Bashu, familiar with the geography and climate, if the imperial court is too hasty and pushes them to the Black Lotus Sacred Sect, it will be counterproductive. ”

The King of Huainan nodded slightly and said, “So, you also agree with the use of troops against the Black Lotus Sect?”

“If the epidemic virus is indeed related to the Black Lotus Sacred Sect, and the Black Lotus Sacred Sect can’t come up with a statement, naturally they cannot be soft-handed.” Qi Ning said: “But the most important thing at the moment is to solve the epidemic poison in the capital first, until the end. If the Black Lotus Sect, we can only discuss this matter after the matter is over, the emperor is wise, and there are such pillars as the prince and the Marquis of Zhongyi, and then we will naturally be able to come up with the best strategy.”

The King of Huainan stared at Qi Ning with sharp eyes, and suddenly smiled: “That’s right, he is indeed a member of the Qi family of the Jinyi Hou.” And your father, they are all peerless and famous generals in the world, according to this king, sooner or later, you will become a famous general of my Great Chu.”

“Your Highness is overrated.” Qi Ning immediately said, “The younger generation is very stupid, and he will never dare to compare himself with the previous two generations of Jinyi Hou.”

“Then you are wrong.” The King of Huainan said with a smile: “You are from the Qi family, and you are destined to become a general. The bloodline.” After a pause, he frowned and said, “But if you want to become a famous general, like your grandfather and your father, you still have to have a chance.”

“Chance?”

“No matter how great a person’s skills are, if he is not given a chance, he will never be able to use it.” King Huainan said softly: “Jinyi Hou, this king said something unpleasant, although you have the blood of the Qi family, but In the DPRK, I’m afraid that some people don’t want to see you restore the Qi family’s former glory.”

Qi Ning laughed secretly in his heart, didn’t you want the Qi family to regain its original prestige, wouldn’t you have a share of King Huainan?

But he didn’t change his face, frowned slightly and asked: “My lord, the junior did not offend anyone in the court, why…?”

“This is not something to offend or not to offend.” King Huainan said lightly, looking at Qi Ning with a heart-to-heart look: “Jinyi Hou, this king knows that there are people behind the scenes who confuse right and wrong and slander this king, but this king never I care. This king is from the blood of the Great Chu royal family, and the blood of the Taizu Emperor flows on his body. This Great Chu was brought down by the Taizu Emperor with all his heart and blood. This king and the emperor both hope that the Great Chu will last for thousands of years.”

Qi Ning thought to himself that he really wanted to talk about the Great Chu Empire. Although Chu Taizu had laid the foundation, it was Emperor Taizong who really laid the foundation.

“My lord, the small minister also hopes that my great Chu will last for thousands of years and be passed on from generation to generation.” Qi Ning said.

The King of Huainan said: “The leader of the country is employing people. You are young and promising. You will become the pillar of my great Chu in the future. I understand too well.” He lowered his voice and said, “But when the time comes to really send troops to encircle and suppress the Black Lotus Sect, this king will recommend you Jinyi Hou in front of the Holy Master, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Back then, the Jinyi Laohou led the army to attack Shu, You are invincible, this time your young hero Jinyi Hou will send troops to encircle and suppress the Black Lotus Holy Sect, and it will definitely be captured by hand, and you can also let Jinyi Hou make great achievements!”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, his mind was like electricity, and he immediately understood that this King of Huainan was obviously going to make a deal with himself to support the imperial court’s encirclement and suppression of the Black Lotus Sacred Sect, and in return, he would recommend himself to be the leader of the army.

At this time, he only felt that the middle was really strange.

Today in the Imperial Study Room, from the very beginning, King Huainan seemed to have the intention of encircling and suppressing the Black Lotus Sacred Sect. It should be noted that even the Shenhou Mansion did not know much about the Black Lotus Sacred Sect, but the Huainan King seemed to be right. The Black Lotus Sect knows more than the Shenhou Mansion.

The Black Lotus Sacred Sect is just a low-key gang in the borderlands, and its behavior has always been low-key. They don’t know much about them in the world, but I don’t know why the King of Huainan is so concerned about the Black Lotus Sacred Sect?

And he obviously wants to get rid of the Black Lotus Sacred Sect.

One is the prince of a dignified empire, and the other is a low-key border Miao gang. Qi Ning really didn’t know what connection the two could have, and he couldn’t understand why the King of Huainan wanted to get rid of the Black Lotus Sect.

There is no doubt that the little emperor took action to relieve himself today. In the eyes of King Huainan and others, the little emperor could give him a special decree. Obviously, he looked at himself differently.

The King of Huainan also clearly saw that his Jinyi Hou seemed to have some influence in front of the little emperor, so he even offered Qi Ning’s support for the encirclement and suppression of the Black Lotus Sacred Sect on the condition of a general army.

Young people are young and vigorous. In the eyes of the King of Huainan, the young Marquis of Jinyi certainly hopes to make achievements and restore the former glory of the Marquis of Jinyi.

Throwing out the fat meat of the commander-in-chief, the King of Huainan is obviously confident that he must have a strong temptation for the young Jinyi Hou who is looking for opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
