Chapter 199 No.20 Act Seven: Unexpected Enemy Part [-]
In the second year of Zhaoxi, the fifth day of May.It is another year of Wuyang Festival, but there is no festive atmosphere in Yujing's Yongyang Palace.

Half an hour ago, Gao Li deliberately brought a food gift prepared with care, and went into the Si Nian Palace early in the morning to look for Ning Yue. Since a month ago, he brought a large cart of rhododendrons from the flower collection to the palace, the girl's His attitude seemed to be softening day by day, and he was no longer as cold as before.Gao Li only thought that she had finally figured it out, so she planned to take advantage of the festival to show her courteousness, so as to bring the relationship between the two closer.

However, he didn't know that the reason why Ning Yue's attitude changed was all because she wanted to spy on Feng Weishu in the prison.The Wanzhou special snacks and exquisite gadgets that Gao Li specially prepared today made her feel emotional when she saw them, and suddenly remembered the old scene when she first entered Mulu City many years ago.

As soon as she saw the white balls presented by the other party, before she could explain her intentions, the red-haired girl couldn't hold back the emotions in her heart anymore. She reached out and knocked all the delicate food boxes and presents to the ground. He even expelled Gao Li and his followers from the gate of the Hall of Si Nian.

After being slammed for being shut down, Gao Li's complexion immediately became longer, and he returned to his bedroom resentfully, furious.Seeing this situation, the followers and attendants around him didn't dare to speak any more, and retreated one after another.The palace lanterns and curtains that were specially decorated for the festival were also quietly removed.

Two hours later, no one dared to remind Gao Li that it was noon and it was time for lunch.However, he did not attend the table, and no one dared to touch the table full of dishes among dozens of confidantes and staff.Only a few palace people secretly picked up some cold dishes and sent them to Bai Jiangxing to appease the silly emperor who was already crying because of hunger.

Finally, someone broke the dead silence that seemed to be nothingness.Just as Gao Li was lying on his side on the couch, thinking about how to make the girl who was as unruly as wildfire obey him, he suddenly heard a voice outside the door, saying that someone had entered the palace to ask for an audience:

"Lord Gao, someone lingered in front of the palace gate for a long time and refused to leave, saying that he must see you."

Gao Li was full of annoyance, but he saw that standing outside was a young inner eunuch who had just entered the palace and he could not name him. He guessed that his confidant was afraid of provoking him, so he let this young man who knew nothing about the world come forward. Come to play.For a while, he didn't feel like having a seizure, so he could only shout with a dark face:

"I don't see you! In this city of Yujing, is there anyone who doesn't like to gain power? I have been a dog in the palace with the Baijiang family for so many years. When they meet on weekdays, they just pay me a respectful salutation." Grandpa. Now that the Baijiang Clan is finally on the decline, they just noticed a little trouble, and they gathered around like a group of flies that saw fat, which is really annoying!"

However, the little eunuch on the opposite side didn't seem to understand what the master meant, and continued respectfully: "The man claims to be an old acquaintance of the lord, and he only met him in the palace not long ago."

As soon as these words came out, Gao Li's face suddenly became serious: "I just met you in the palace not long ago?" Then he was suddenly startled, as if he had guessed the identity of the visitor, "The other party gave his name Is it?"

"The man claimed that his single surname is Kun. He also said—"

"It's Kunjie?! Then you can't see him again. Go back to that person and say that I'm dealing with state affairs and it's inconvenient to see guests!"

Before the little inner eunuch finished speaking, Gao Li didn't want to listen any longer, and waved his hand to signal him to send him away.Since the last time they met, he has been afraid of Kunjie, for fear that the other party will see that he has two hearts.At this time, he made an excuse to shirk, hoping that the other party would get impatient and retreat in spite of the difficulties.

After the little inner eunuch left, Gao Li couldn't sit still in the bedroom, so he walked out the door to relax in the garden outside.The warm spring sun made his body warm, and he felt that his eyelids were getting heavy like lead, and before he knew it, he leaned against a pear tree and fell asleep.However, in his sleep, he vaguely heard a voice whispering in his ear:
"The deacon elder said he was busy with state affairs, but he secretly hid here to take a nap. Could it be that he didn't want to see me, so he deliberately excused himself?"

In a trance, Gao Li felt that the voice seemed familiar, opened his eyes, and saw that it was Kun Jie wearing a wide cloak that almost covered the whole body, standing in front of him resolutely!
"Forgive me first! This subordinate has been working hard for the upcoming Zen enthronement. This is a major victory for our Cangyu clan to return to land, and it is a happy event that our clan has never had in more than ten thousand years. Since Do your best to ensure that the grand ceremony is safe!"

Gao Li immediately got up, bowed respectfully and saluted, but he followed the etiquette of land people.Seeing this, Kun Jie hummed heavily in his nose immediately:
"You're right! I've been worrying recently that you've been hanging out with those land people for a long time, and maybe you've even forgotten who you are and why you came here!"

"Subordinates dare not!" Gao Li immediately realized his mistake, and quickly changed the topic, "I just didn't know that you would visit in person today."

"Why, just now I told the little eunuch that if I don't see you today, I will never leave. Could it be that he failed to bring the words?"

Kunjie looked up and down at the trembling man in front of him, but read a little puzzled on his face, and then laughed, "Aren't you wondering how this seat got into the high wall and deep palace? Is it because my subordinates let me into the palace gate? You don’t have to worry, as long as I, Kunjie, want to go in this world, how can a few Zhijinwu be able to stop me?”

"The chief is joking. If you know that you are here today, the subordinates would not dare to be so negligent! Later, the subordinates will go and punish the ignorant inner eunuch, so as to serve as a warning to others!"

Gao Li expressed his loyalty righteously.

"That's not necessary." Kun Jie waved his hand, and his smile seemed to have a deep meaning, "As long as the deacon elders don't have something to hide from me, that's fine. As for the punishment or something, forget it."

A fine layer of sweat had already oozed from Gao Li's forehead, but he was secretly glad in his heart that the fact that he was about to marry a new queen after ascending the throne was still a secret that only a few people knew.In the eyes of outsiders, Ning Yue, who was under house arrest in the Palace of Si Nian, was just an ordinary woman who was lucky enough to enter the palace but didn't know how to praise her.

"The first seat today—could it be that you came here again for the whereabouts of the daughter of the high priest?"

Without waiting for the other party to continue to attack, Gao Li had already taken a step forward and asked back.Kun Jie shook his head, as if a little bit of blame, but also a little bit helpless:

"I have been searching for so long. If there is a clue, I should have found someone long ago. I am here today for another matter. I plan to discuss with you to see if it is feasible."

"If the chief has orders, the subordinates should go all out!" Gao Li's ability to read people's faces and adapt to the wind has already made him perfect.

Kunjie also stopped playing charades, but straight to the point: "Although the Baijiang clan is with you now, there has never been a precedent for this matter since it was promoted to the imperial court. These land people will inevitably feel dissatisfied, and they may It will attract all the princes to fight against each other. Although the ending is still in our expectation, what worries me most now is the blue flame of the Peng country."

Gao Li was very surprised when the visitor suddenly mentioned the Peng Kingdom: "Is the first seat worrying too much? Although the Lanyan Peng Kingdom is powerful, but its country is located on the east pole of the mainland, and it has never liked to ask more about world affairs. Now the first seat is strategizing, which has brought the vitality of all countries. Seriously injured, powerless to govern, and a mere Penguin country, it seems that it is not worth worrying about."

Kunjie corrected his color: "You have stayed on land for too long, and even your thinking is no different from those of those on land. Although Ying Ren of Peng Kingdom is low-key, he is not as popular as the world sees. It’s like wanting nothing. And this is exactly what this seat is worried about.”

When he said this, he suddenly paused, as if he was looking for the right words: "Right now, the Peng Kingdom seems to be indifferent to world affairs, but it is actually watching the situation, and it is very likely to intervene when it is profitable. If it is in its hands If the Blue Flame we hold cannot be used by us, it must be completely destroyed, there is no third way to choose!"

"So what is the chief plan to do next?" Gao Li asked again.

"Now those barbarians and Yubei on the Shuobei grassland have long been unable to take care of themselves. Among the lords on land who still have the power to pose a threat to our family's plans, apart from Wei Liang, I am afraid it is the Peng country. I am thinking , whether we can use the opportunity of the Baijiang clan's Zen position to go to the country as an envoy to explore, it is better to make plans early."

Kunjie seemed to have a plan in his chest, and he spoke in a calm and unhurried manner.However, Gao Li shook his head again and again:

"But in this way, it will give the world the impression that I am quite afraid of Lan Yan and Peng. Historically, only princes send envoys to meet the emperor. How often have you heard that the emperor wants to curry favor with his subjects?"

"That said, there seems to be some truth to it. However, if you follow the plan we have made before, as long as you can persuade Baijiang's Zen position, so that the world has no master, you will have accomplished most of the work. The current big promotion Chao, has long been an empty shell, unless—”

Kun Jie suddenly turned his face and stared at the man in front of him, as if nothing could escape his eyes, and continued questioningly, "Unless you actually believe in the land people's set of monarchs and ministers, father The etiquette system of father and son, and even fantasizing that after the Zen position, I can continue to be the emperor who rules the world?"

Facing the leader who single-handedly promoted him, Gao Li was already in a state of panic.However, although he is very clear about Kunjie's fierce methods, another voice in his heart is constantly reminding himself that he can't just give up everything he has painstakingly worked on.So he straightened his body and greeted the other party's burning gaze without hesitation:
"The first seat doesn't live on land for a long time, and I don't know how loyal these land people are to the imperial power. The subordinates just thought that if they can continue to hold the position of emperor in my family's hands, they may be able to send a grand master in the future." use!"

Facing his subordinate's explanation, Kun Jie didn't continue to question him, but looked at him with some surprise, and then laughed, as if he finally believed what the other party said was true:

"So—do as you wish!"

Laughter echoed over the layers of palaces in Yongyang Palace, which lasted for a long time.It was like a dark cloud floating from the sky, gradually covering everything.

As soon as Kun Jie left, Gao Li immediately turned around and entered the dungeon, and hurried to meet Feng Weishu.These days, he would come to this place every three or two days, pressing the once unparalleled high priest, hoping that he could reveal all the secrets of the holy city.

However, today, Feng Weishu didn't hide in the corner of the cell as usual, crazily speaking some incomprehensible nonsense, but was uncharacteristically soberly standing behind the iron gate and asked:
"Just now, did Kun Jie come here?"

"The outside affairs have nothing to do with your Excellency. What you need to worry about is how to answer the questions I asked standing outside this iron fence. If you can cooperate earlier, you can save a lot of suffering! "

Gao Li opened his mouth to threaten, but he didn't know that Feng Weishu had actually met Ning Yue several times.

Feng Weishu immediately smiled coldly:
"There is a saying among people on land that a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. Now in this world, there are only two people who know the location of the Holy City. One is me who was reduced to a prisoner, and the other is that lunatic Kunjie. If you Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask him directly if you think I'm not willing to cooperate?"

Gao Li knew that unless he was desperate, it was absolutely impossible to ask Kun Jie about this matter.And right now, the only chance for him to know the whereabouts of the holy city is through the mouth of the high priest in front of him.So after thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said:
"Then if I promise you, if I cooperate, I will give you freedom after the thing is done?"

However, before Feng Weishu could respond, a Zhi Jinwu who had already been accepted as his confidant suddenly broke in outside the prison.The expression on the other party's face was extremely flustered, and the words that came out of his mouth were even more anxious.

Gao Li only listened to a few words, and he already understood what the visitor was talking about.It turned out that after Feng Weishu left the palace, he left a message to him, but he went his own way and led the crowd to Lincang, the capital of the Peng Kingdom, and said that he had done Gao Li a huge favor by doing so.

"Bastard! He has never trusted me for so many years! It's not just me. In his eyes, except for him, Kunjie himself, everyone else in this world is just a pawn that can be manipulated at will! However, such a day It will be over soon. Once I successfully ascend the throne, I will immediately issue an edict to arrest all my comrades throughout the territory, and let them be killed! At that time, let's see who else will help you!"

Gao Li, who seemed to be talking to himself, clenched his fists so hard that he didn't even feel that his nails had pierced the flesh of his palm.This is not the first time I have seen Feng Weishu in the prison.He didn't ask any more questions, guessing that the person the other party was referring to was Kun Jie himself.

The high priest just watched all this silently, and at the same time kept it in his heart calmly.
