Chapter 60 The Last Pit

Guo Wei was in a good mood. He originally thought his life was lost, but unexpectedly he was saved by Master Zong Xin.Now that Li Shouzhen has lost power and the Han Dynasty is stable, Li Shouzhen will undoubtedly die.

Li Shouzhen was too eager and greedy. If he returned to the river to rebel, he would have at least 20 troops.Naturally, Liu Chengyou would not let him return to the river to consolidate his power and let him become an official in Kaifeng.Unexpectedly, even so, Li Shouzhen's desire to proclaim himself emperor could not be stopped, and he even sent troops to force the palace, but his success failed. Now there are only [-] soldiers and horses, and he may not be able to make a comeback.

When Zong Xin was eating, the others also got the news and rushed over immediately.This time Zong Xin slept for too long, but no one was surprised, because Zong Xin was planning all this, and they were just the executors, so of course Zong Xin was the most tired person.

After Zong Xin finished eating, he immediately took the Khitan warrior and Tian Ya to the palace.

At this time, no one dared to stop Zong Xin and took him directly to the Yinlong Hall.Now most of the palace has been burnt to ruins, Liu Chengyou can only temporarily live in the Yinlong Hall.

Knowing that Zong Xin woke up, Liu Chengyou had already greeted him outside the Yinlong Palace. No one else would receive this treatment.

After the two met, Zong Xin put his hands together and said earnestly, "Greetings to Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, excuse me~ Master Zong Xin has woken up. I originally wanted to go to the Guo Mansion to see him yesterday, but I found out that Master Zong Xin was unconscious. How are you?"

"It's okay to delay His Majesty's blessing." Zong Xin said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the poor monk has something important to report."

Liu Chengyou nodded immediately: "Everyone, please go down. Master, please come in."

Zong Xin glanced at Zhao Kuangyin, then shook his head towards the Yinlong Hall, Zhao Kuangyin knew that he was asking him to go with him.Although it was a bit strange, he still followed Zong Xin.

There were only three people in the entire Yinlong Hall, and Liu Chengyou was very worried, not knowing what Master Zongxin was going to say.What if something bad happens?You may not believe what other people say, but you must believe what Master Zong Xin said.

"Your Majesty, Li Shouzhen has been eliminated, but the poor monk is still worried." Zong Xin said.

"What does Master mean?"

"The Emperor's Star is dim and lightless, surrounded by purple energy. I'm afraid..." Zong Xin sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, do you remember that day? Your Majesty asked the poor monk about the art of fortune-telling and how to judge longevity with his face. The poor monk Leaving with an excuse is not without reason.”

This matter has always been Liu Chengyou's heart disease. Since he asked about this kind of matter, others did not answer but left with an excuse. It is conceivable that the answer did not satisfy him.Could it be that he is also short-lived?How short is it?

"Master, please make it clear that I will forgive you."

Zong Dao said: "Based on what the poor monk saw that day, His Majesty's life expectancy is not long... Maybe he will not live to be 20 years old. I thought that after Li Shouzhen's death, His Majesty's destiny has changed, but I never expected that His Majesty's appearance has not changed at all. I'm afraid it is Li Shouzhen, not Your Majesty." Hit the evil star, but someone else."

"Who is it?" Liu Chengyou didn't have any doubts.

Guo Wei's two sons had to be late to criticize the Taoist, there will be a catastrophe before the age of ten, and they must join the famous teacher to have a chance to survive. Zong Xin also said the same thing to Guo Wei, and he accepted Guo Xin as his disciple, Guo Xin Then escaped unharmed.Guo Tong did not have a teacher, so he was captured by Li Shouzhen, which happened to be the calamity.

Now Zong Xin said that he would not live to be 20 years old, so he must be in trouble. Moreover, Zong Xin said that there was an evil star to oppose him, and this evil star was a person.You must know who he is and kill him quickly to avoid this disaster.

Zong Xin shook his head and said, "Forgive me for not practicing enough, so I can't figure it out. But in today's world, who has the ability to kill you and take your country? Although the poor monk can't figure it out, he can see it."

"Guo Wei?" Liu Chengyou could hardly believe his ears. Zong Xin didn't actually say Guo Wei's name, but Liu Chengyou's first reaction was him.

"Amitabha, I don't dare to lie, I just want to ask, what if it is really Guo Wei?"

Liu Chengyou couldn't believe what Zong Xin said, but he also didn't dare not believe it.Indeed, what if Guo Wei really wants to rebel?Kill him?Impossible, absolutely impossible.Guo Wei holds the most powerful military power in the world and is very powerful in martial arts. Retrieving the general's head in front of the two armies is like picking up an object from a bag. If Guo Wei wants to rush into the palace and kill himself, I am afraid no one can stop him.

"How did this happen? Guo Wei is as worthy as the brother of the former emperor, how could he take over my country."

Zong Xin suddenly laughed and said: "Your Majesty, how did Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty win the world? How did Li Shimin dominate the country? They don't even let off brothers, let alone brothers with different surnames? Master Guo is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but people There will always be changes, originally Li Shouzhen and Master Guo restrained each other, but now that Li Shouzhen has lost power and Master Guo is in full swing, it is inevitable that there will be other ideas."

Liu Chengyou nodded immediately, this is true.If Li Shouzhen does not rebel, it is the best situation for the two to restrain each other, although one is treacherous and the other is loyal.Guo Weigong is a master, and he holds the power of soldiers and horses in the world. He is also a peerless master. Has he ever thought about becoming an emperor?How can this be?He just dared to think or not to do it.

"Master, please help me..." Liu Chengyou said: "Guo Wei is a top expert, and he holds the power of soldiers and horses in the world. The people of the world love Guo Wei even more than the widow. If he wants to rebel, the widow will die~"

"Killing Guo Wei? Difficult, difficult to go to the sky. But it is not difficult to make Guo Wei dare not kill you." Zong Dao said: "Now that Li Shouzhen is fleeing west, he should occupy Tongguan and defend to the death. Master Guo hates him to the bone. If you don't prevent Guo Wei Sir, let him lead tens of thousands of troops to surround and kill Li Shouzhen. As long as Guo Wei's family is in your hands, are you afraid that he will rebel?"

Liu Chengyou said: "There are going and returning, what will happen after Guo Wei kills Li Shouzhen?"

"Guo Wei took away the soldiers and horses to besiege and kill Li Shouzhen. Naturally, he will have to hand over other military power. At that time, you will hand over the military power to a cronies, and take the entire military power in Kaifeng back to yourself. At that time, even if Guo Wei returns to Kaifeng, what will happen? ? He no longer has military power, no matter how high a person's martial arts is, it's useless. Wouldn't it be better to give him a spare job and let him take care of himself at home?"

Liu Chengyou suddenly understood that Zong Xin did not let him kill Guo Wei, but slowly reduced his military power.As long as Guo Wei does not have military power in his hands, he will not dare to rebel.

"Master Zong Xin, why don't you kill Guo Wei when he has no military power?"

"Amitabha... The poor monk is a monk, don't kill people at every turn." Zong Xin said depressedly: "Now I'm just doubting, not sure. If your majesty's evil star is someone else, who can protect you if Guo Wei is not around at that time?"

"Yes, yes, I didn't pay attention." Liu Chengyou sincerely admired that Guo Wei's military power could be taken away with a little trick, and there was no plan left, even the funeral was prepared.If Master Zongxin is always by his side, he will definitely be able to help him conquer the city and dominate the world.

Zong Xin sighed and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive this poor monk for being innocent. There are still disrespectful remarks to be made."

"Forgive your innocence, please speak quickly."

"As far as the poor monk can see, His Majesty's martial arts ability is not above ten thousand people, how can he rule the world? Unless..."

"Master, what is your wisdom?" Liu Chengyou knew that he was not a talented person in governing the country, and his martial arts skills were mediocre. How could he be the emperor if the previous emperor had not passed on the throne?However, if someone else said this kind of thing, it would be a capital offense. Today, there are only three people in the Yinlong Temple, and Master Zongxin is always defending it, so Liu Chengyou is not angry, but anxious.

Zong Dao: "I don't know if your Majesty has ever heard of 'The Red Emperor reappears, the world is king'? The poor monk is loyal to the people all over the world. As long as His Majesty promises that the poor monk will treat the people well in the future and implement benevolent governance, the poor monk is willing to go to Mount Tai for your majesty. Take the Red Emperor."

Liu Chengyou was so moved that he almost cried. This is true loyalty and patriotism.Zong Xin did not teach himself what to do, but helped him become a true Nine-Five Supreme.If the Red Emperor regains his glory, he will be king of heaven and earth. If he can win the Red Emperor, he will be able to unify the world without the help of anyone.

"Master~ the widow would like to make friends with you and share the world."

Zong Xin waved his hands and said: "The poor monk did not do this for fame and gain, besides, what is the use of the monks for the world? I just hope that your majesty treats the people kindly. However, the poor monk's fate is unpredictable. Who in the world wants to take the Red Emperor? So dare not I promise to get it back for His Majesty, and please don’t blame Your Majesty when the time comes."

Liu Chengyou said urgently: "Master loyal and widowed, how can you blame him?"

"There are still three months left for the trip to Mount Tai. Your Majesty will ask Mr. Guo to accompany you then. Firstly, Mr. Guo's martial arts skills are superb. If he helps, there will be a better chance. Secondly, it will delay Mr. Guo's attack on Tongguan. The longer the time, the more military power in Mr. Guo's hands. few."

"Okay~ Master Zongxin really has a plan."

Zong Xin waved his hand and said: "The poor monk has not finished talking, and the poor monk still needs to make some preparations. The day before yesterday, I sent half a city of fine wine to the reserve army, and the silver taels brought by the poor monk have been spent. I hope your majesty can reward some silver taels. Let the poor monk finish the job."

Liu Chengyou immediately nodded and said, "Just ask how much silver taels the master needs."

"This... [-] taels of gold may not be enough. Many sects in the Jianghu are only looking for money. It would be better if they can get out of trouble." Zong Xin's face didn't change when he spoke, but his heart jumped. sharp.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were bleeding from staring, and after talking for a long time, he was actually preparing for this, selling Guo Wei for ten thousand taels of gold... If it was him, his own father could also sell it.

"What's a mere 2000 taels of gold?" Liu Chengyou said excitedly: "The widow originally sealed the word "Qiu Qu" as the master, so he had a salary of 2000 taels of gold. How about this, the widow immediately decreed that the treasury will withdraw [-] taels of gold as a reward The master and all the protectors rescued you and repelled the enemy. I will give you another secret decree. If there is insufficient money, order someone to bring the secret decree to Kaifeng to withdraw money at any time."

Zong Xin said with a light smile: "Thank you for your generous donation, the poor monk will definitely go all out, I just ask your majesty to treat the people kindly."

"The widow has always loved the people like a son, so you don't have to worry too much."

Liu Chengyou didn't care about Zong Xin's spending money, as long as he could win the Red Emperor, money would not be a problem at all.What's more, Liu Chengyou is not worried about Zong Xin's backlash, because Guo Wei will go with him when the time comes.
