Origin Chapter 711: Friends of kings and ministers
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan get up, Wang Xinran also stood up, "Go, we don't know when we will be back after we leave. We must explain in detail, and don't make any omissions."
Wu Zhongyuan nodded and walked out the door.
Leaving the Central Palace, Wu Zhongyuan went to the West Palace where Jiang Nan lived. He wanted to see if Jiang Nan left any potential clues when he left.
Judging from the things in the room, Jiang Nan walked very calmly and cleaned up very carefully. After all, it took a long time to select 100 soldiers of the West Palace. When Jiang Nan left, he brought everything he should have with him. No valuable clues were left.
After a short stay in the West Palace, Wu Zhongyuan came to the Zhongtian Temple and ordered the yellow-robed guards to summon the old blind man to visit him.
There are deputy positions in the official system of each country. The deputy positions are still very useful. They assist the chief officer in his work on weekdays, and perform the duties of the chief officer when the chief officer is not in office. To supervise the country, this time, many things still have to be entrusted to the old blind man.
At the same time as the old blind man was summoned, Wu Zhongyuan also sent a guard to summon A Luo and A Bing.
Waiting for a while, Wu Zhongyuan got up and opened the secret room. Most of the black iron weapons collected by Wan Shanhong were distributed to the city lords of the major Yuancheng and Yicheng, but he still left some of them, which are the best of the best. Among them is the amazingly powerful Dark Star Spear that can be rotated and pierced. He left this spear to A Bing. When Wu Ao was in power, the old Bai Clan was brutally bloodbathed by the Bear Clan.
Not long after, the old blind man came.
"When there are no outsiders, you don't need to bow." Wu Zhongyuan stopped the old blind man from saluting, walked off the dragon chair, helped the old blind man into the seat, and then sat on his right, straight to the point, in a few words, concise and comprehensive.
After hearing Wu Zhongyuan's speech, the old blind man lowered his brows and pondered for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Has the sage ever thought that this decision you made may be exactly what the demons want you to do?"
"Details." Wu Zhongyuan said.
The old blind man spoke very slowly, "Now is the critical moment of preparations for war, and the harvest season of grain is approaching. You are traveling far away from the court at this time. If there is a change in the court, how should I deal with it?"
"If everything goes well, we can come back in seven days." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"What if the sky doesn't go according to people's wishes?" asked the old blind man.
Wu Zhongyuan understood what the old blind man meant, "Sir doesn't agree with me going to find Jiang Nan?"
The old blind man coughed twice, and said, "When the holy dragon dived, Wei Chen and Queen Jiang were already by your side, Wei Chen and Queen Jiang were very close, and I hope you can get there early. Some of them found Queen Jiang, but I am more worried that the disappearance of Queen Jiang was deliberately done by the demons, not to mention disturbing the Sacred Heart, but it cannot be ruled out that they are doing this for the purpose of turning tigers away from mountains.”
"Tiaohu Leshan?" Wu Zhongyuan said to himself.
The old blind man nodded, "Exactly, the Sage had been away from the court for several months before. Wei Chen and a group of colleagues worked hard to support it, and it was very difficult to maintain. As a result, you can see that if the Sage hadn't rushed in at a critical moment. When we come back, the evil deed of the rebels will succeed, and everyone like me will be purged."
Not waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to answer, the old blind man said again, "Wei ministers are old and weak, and their energy is deteriorating. If they assist the sage in charge of the bear clan, they can still do their best, but now the sage is in charge of the human race, with a vast territory and a large number of clansmen. The small subjects have the heart to share their worries but not the power to share them.”
The old blind man stopped talking, but Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer. What the old blind man said was true, but the main reason was that the old blind man did not approve of him going to find Jiang Nan. It was not that the old blind man was ruthless, but the old blind man. Taking the overall situation into consideration, this is also the biggest difference between the elderly and the young. Those who are older will consider the consequences more when making decisions.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's silence, the old blind man knew that he had made up his mind, and after sighing, he said again, "If they are just to temporarily deceive the Sage, that's fine. The Sage had previously enshrined kings, rewarded armor, and promoted cultivation. Including the two princes, we already have twelve masters of the Three Falsehoods, and we can do our best to deal with ordinary incidents. But what Wei Chen is most worried about is that they secretly plan to cut off your retreat, so that the golden dragon cannot enter the sea and the tiger cannot return to the mountain. "
Having experienced too many changes, there are very few things that can make Wu Zhongyuan feel frightened, but the old blind man's words really made his back feel cold, which was something he had never thought of before. This move by the Demon Race is to lead him back to the modern age, and then try to cut off his retreat, and he will be trapped in the modern age forever.
"What Mr. said is very true, I will carefully infer and take precautions." Wu Zhongyuan said in a deep voice.
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, the old blind man didn't speak again. Wu Zhongyuan's attitude was very clear. He would not hesitate to take risks and find Jiang Nan at all costs. It was useless for him to persuade him.
Speaking of this time, A Luo and A Bing arrived, and seeing Wu Zhongyuan and the old blind man discussing matters in the hall, they did not rush to make progress, but waited quietly from a distance.
"For the retreat, does the Holy One have any plan?" the old blind man asked.
"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded and said, "In addition to the main road, there is also an emergency path."
"Does the enemy know of these two paths?" the old blind man asked.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer right away, and what the old blind man was worried about was exactly what he was worried about.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't speak, the old blind man had the answer in his heart, and said sternly, "The sage has to plan for the worst. If the two retreats are not safe, then take another retreat."
Wu Zhongyuan frowned when he heard the words, and tilted his head to look at the old blind man. Although the old blind man did not say it clearly, the word "bring" already expressed the old blind man's thoughts. The old blind man wanted him to bring Wu Di, Wu Di Naijiu Yin sorcerer, if the two escape routes are cut off, Wu Di can still use a thousand miles to send him back.
But it can only teleport other people in a thousand miles, and it is invalid for the caster himself. If he does this, Wu Di will be trapped in modern times.
Although the old blind man couldn't see Wu Zhongyuan's expression, he could tell based on his long silence that he didn't want to do this, he sighed and said slowly, "No one can replace your position, anyone can sacrifice, only you No, it's better like this, you entrust your state affairs to Empress Wu and bring Wei Chen, although Wei Chen's meridians have been abolished, but you can forcibly continue the time of a stick of incense, and also send you and Queen Wang back."
Wu Zhongyuan was very moved when he heard the old blind man's words. When he was in charge of the bear clan, he once wanted to help the old blind man restore his spiritual energy. At that time, the two talked about it. The old blind man was abolished because of the meridians. It's not Dantian, it can be forcibly continued, but it can only last for one stick of incense, and the price paid is that the old blind man will die.
"Sir, do you think I would do that?" Wu Zhongyuan, with mixed feelings, stretched out his hand and held the old blind man's right hand.
"The Central Plains can be without me, but not without you." The old blind man is also very sad.
"Although you and I are called monarchs and ministers, we are really close friends. No matter how difficult it is, I will not sacrifice you." Wu Zhongyuan said sternly.
Both of them are deeply emotional people. It seems that this kind of sad conversation has never happened before. Although the old blind man is blind, his tear ducts are still there, and his eyes are red. He raised his hand to wipe it.
"Sir, you don't have to worry too much," Wu Zhongyuan said, "your concern is not unreasonable, but it is the worst possibility, it is unlikely that such an outcome will occur, take a step back, even if they want to To cut me off, have they beat me?"
"The holy is mighty." The old blind man wiped away his tears.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't want to make the atmosphere too heavy, so he started another topic, "Sir is worried about me, but I am worried about Mister, if the demons really move away from the mountains, how can they know that they will not withdraw my arms while I am not in the court, Cut off my brothers and feet, I wish Qianwei to be in charge of the four camps, if the demons want to assassinate, he will be one of the targets, but fortunately he has already become too illusory, and he has psychic soldiers and black iron armor to protect himself There is no problem, and now I am most worried about you, you have a heavy responsibility, you have no spiritual cultivation, and must be strictly protected."
Wu Zhongyuan said this and waved to A Luo and A Bing who were waiting outside the hall. When the two saw him, they hurriedly entered the hall to meet him.
Wu Zhongyuan was not sitting on the dragon chair at this time, and pulled up the two before they could greet him.
The two were ordered to take their seats, but the two stood still.
Other orders, A Luo still does not sit down, A Bing is young, see A Luo does not sit, he also does not sit.
If they couldn't beat the two of them, Wu Zhongyuan didn't force it, and said to Aruo sternly, "In the future, you will follow Xiangguo to protect Xiangguo's safety, inseparable, day and night, no matter who it is, as long as he tries to hurt Xiangguo, he will kill him on the spot. ."
Alo doesn't speak, just nods.
Wu Zhongyuan said again, "I used to have a demon who took the appearance of me. I'm afraid you can't tell the truth from the fake. A Bing will also protect Xiangguo with you. He can distinguish between demons and ghosts, so it's safe."
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the old blind man got up in fear, but before he could speak, Wu Zhongyuan dragged him into the seat and turned to A Bing with a smile, "A Bing, I will explain your errand, can you do it well? ?"
"Yes." A Bing straightened his back and tried his best to make himself look taller, but he was only twelve years old and still a half-old child.
Wu Zhongyuan smiled, stood up, walked to the desk and took the dark star spear, walked back and handed it to A Bing, "You have given credit many times before, I will reward you with a weapon, this thing Called the Dark Star Spear, it is powerful, and it is invincible in attacking and breaking armor."
"Thank you, big brother." A Bing was overjoyed and rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Don't call me wrong." Arlo hurriedly reminded.
"Thank you, Lord Huang Di." A Bing immediately changed his words.
"There is no need to restrain the ceremony, there is no need to restrain the ceremony," Wu Zhongyuan smiled and shoved the dark star spear into A Bing's hand.
Men are naturally fond of weapons, regardless of age, and A Bing is no exception. He happily took it. He probably didn't expect the Dark Star spear to be so heavy, and he almost let it go.
Wu Zhongyuan also had four nine-leaf Qinglian lotus seeds in his hand, two third-order, one eighth-order and one ninth-order. Seeing that A Bing was struggling to hold the spear, he took out a third-order lotus seed and handed it to him. After meeting him, "I'll send you Crimson Cultivation Realm again, and I'll follow A Luo to do errands well in the future."
The difference between a child and an adult is that a child will not be falsely polite. A Bing happily accepts it and thanks again.
"Okay, you guys go to guard outside the door first, I have something to discuss with Xiangguo." Wu Zhongyuan smiled.
A Luo and A Bing solemnly responded, turned and walked away.
"The Sage is now the co-owner of the human race, and he always favors and cares for his old friends. I'm afraid it will lead to criticism." The old blind man said in a low voice.
"The friendship between the poor and the lowly shall not be forgotten, and the wife of the scumbag will not go to court. Anyone who disagrees is unreasonable." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
The old blind man smiled and said nothing.
"Okay, let's go on, I have a few more things to tell you..."
