It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 60 This traitor is either a fool or a traitor
"Emperor, you are really good at picking peaches!"

After Gu Xiangzhu said these words, the air in the hall seemed to become much colder.

Zhao Huan seemed unaware, and just sat down quietly with a warm smile on his face: "Oh? Why did my beloved concubine say this!"

There were only two people in the huge hall.

But it didn't feel empty at all.

It was as if every inch of air was filled with the light and shadow of swords.

But Zhao Huan looked calm, as if he was just chatting with his wife about some family matters.

"Oh? Since you didn't want to pick peaches."

Gu Xiangzhu stopped beating around the bush: "Then why are you stopping me from getting the wine refining technology?"

Zhao Huan smiled and shook his head: "My concubine is joking, this wine refining process is not your thing in the first place, why do you want to stop picking peaches?"

"It's not mine?"

Gu Xiangzhu raised his slender eyebrows: "Emperor, you and I are not fools, so why would you say those words to deceive fools? You have cooperated with our teaching for a long time, and you should be very clear that my teaching has what you need, and you also know that my teaching has what you need. Your handle.

Of course, this handle misses the point.

There are areas where I need your help.

But since it is cooperation, the most important thing is sincerity.

If you now point your finger at the sky and say that this wine refining process is yours, then I won’t ask any more questions.

As for what I will do, I hope you won’t ask. "

Stayed in the palace for 17 years.

She has learned too much and knows that Emperor Wu Xian is a good player no matter whether he is making big plans or using small tricks.

Word games.

She understands.

But once the game starts, there will be endless wrangling.

Use the magic sect's method, simple and efficient.

She just needs to know that both parties have reasons for cooperating, and that's enough.

"My beloved concubine is indeed frank!"

Zhao Huan smiled faintly: "But I still want to remind my concubine that Ci'er is Gu's son, and he has no blood relationship with you. It's wrong for you to preconceptionally think that his things belong to you."

Gu Xiangzhu asked, "So what? Without my help, how could he have mastered such a Xingyu Danhui?"

"Of course not!"

Zhao Huan smiled lightly and said: "But without you, he can still develop the wine refining process."

Gu Xiangzhu was silent.

This sentence cannot be refuted.

Because when she noticed Zhao Ci, he had already taken out the first batch of medicinal solution.

Zhao Huan continued: "My beloved, you are a smart person. If I said that this craft was guided by me, you would definitely sneer at me. But there is one thing you cannot deny...

It was because of my guidance first that Ci'er embarked on the journey of refining wine.

It's not that Ci'er has already embarked on this road, and then I stepped in.

Gu sees Aifei's efforts in promoting the Yu Dan Society, and Gu also believes that Aifei should take the majority of the profits from the Dan Society.

But Aifei cannot say that the art of refining wine should be yours alone. "

After all, I fell into this word game!

Gu Xiangzhu sighed secretly. Even though his anger lingered in his heart, he could not break through this logic.

Because every word Zhao Huan said made sense.

In fact, the most difficult thing is the phrase "first there is guidance, then there is the road to refining wine."

Without this incident, she would not have heard Zhao Huan say so much.

But... why?
She didn't understand, she couldn't even imagine, how the father and son brought up this topic.

If Zhao Ci has already decided to take the path of alchemy, the person he should consult most must be the alchemist. Why should he consult Zhao Huan?
Asking yourself for advice is more reliable than asking Zhao Huan.

If he hadn't decided what to do when he went to find Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan would take the initiative to point him to alchemy because any way was easier than alchemy.

She couldn't understand this question.

But she was sure that this problem was a thorn that could not be bypassed. If she did not pull it out, she would never be able to take the initiative.

Unless... robbing and looting.

Gu Xiangzhu said in a deep voice: "What you said makes sense, but what if I must have this craft?"

Zhao Huan couldn't help but shrink his pupils. He didn't expect this woman to dare to ask this question.

The two parties have been cooperating for so many years, and due to their interests, they have been secretly involved more than once or twice.

But Gu Xiangzhu had never shown such an obvious threat.

This woman won't do anything without aim.

Dare to say this, it means that you really have this idea.

Zhao Huan pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly and said: "If my beloved concubine insists on taking it, then she is a son-killing demon and you are a witch who will cause harm to the country. The wine-refining skills of one person are half half, or she may disappear from the world."

This means not being afraid of threats.

Gu Xiangzhu smiled lightly and added: "Also, there will be one less immortal thousand-year hero in this world." Zhao Huan raised his head and looked at her quietly for a while, knowing that this person was planning to kill him.

Think for a long time.

Suddenly he smiled and said: "My dear concubine! Instead of threatening each other like this, why don't you and I think carefully about what we each need?"

Gu Xiangzhu looked at him condescendingly: "Oh? Please enlighten me."

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "My concubine named her alchemy workshop 'Xingyu Danhui'. She should be very clear about what she wants. It is nothing more than to lower the price of elixirs so that as many people as possible can become masters and regain the lost north." territory.

And loving a concubine is nothing more than asking for money and opening up a financial line for your education.

No matter how much, it is just to provide Qi training pills for new disciples.

speak up.

There is no need for you or me to monopolize the wine-making process.

It's just that you don't want me to monopolize it, so I can get rid of you and collect the finances myself.

I also don’t want you to monopolize the art of rejuvenating the country, lest Dayu be taught to control his destiny.

But in fact.

No matter who monopolizes it, it is not a simple matter.

Because the key to this craft is Ci'er, who has a father who cares about his internal organs, and an imposter mother and concubine.

So my beloved concubine...

Exclusivity will not increase our benefits.

You and I are constraining each other, and we cannot allow each other to monopolize it.

You have no exclusive conditions, unless you search for Ci'er's soul and kill him, but this will make you lose the entire elixir industry.

Instead of considering these unrealistic ideas, it is better to listen to Gu's two ideas and see if they are right. "

Gu Xiangzhu raised his chin slightly: "But it doesn't matter!"

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "Either we call Ci'er now and let him write out the craftsmanship completely in front of you and me. From now on, you will continue to make money from Xingyu Danhui.

I will not stop you from taking the money and elixirs, as long as you pay taxes on time and satisfy the court's orders.

I just hope that the price of elixir is stable and falling. As for who is making money, I don't care. After our cooperation is over, you leave with what you want. I have craftsmanship in my hands and a guarantee. "

Ah……

This statement sounds reasonable.

It might even feel like the emperor is really cooperating sincerely.

But Gu Xiangzhu is not a fool. There is a very terrifying loophole in this.

They are the two alchemy workshops of Xunmo and Lingyun.

It is true that Zhao Huan will not interfere in the affairs of the Xingyu Alchemy Society, but he has the wine refining technology in his hand, and he can fully support the two alchemy workshops, and even use this to divide and win over the alchemists of the Feng Zhuyang family.

Those two companies were obviously very moved, but they still rejected their merger. This can only mean that there are greater interests in their sights.

As for the three families of Feng Zhuyang...

It was true that Zhao Huan was afraid of them, but he was also afraid of them.

He no longer understands the art of differentiation and balance.

What a big trap.

Gu Xiangzhu said calmly: "What about the second one?"

"The second type..."

There was a hint of kindness in Zhao Huan's smile: "After all, this is a craft developed by Ci'er. It should have been a weapon for his government to fight, and let him earn more achievements.

At that time, let him find a group of trusted people who can make wine full-time, so that it will not delay your collection of elixirs to make money, nor will it delay the decrease in the price of elixirs.

After the civil war, whether he stayed in Linge or joined the feudal clan, he would have a foothold to rely on. "

Leave it in Zhao Ci's hands.

It's just about trying to get information out of him faster.

There will also be a tug of war.

But compared with competing for profit from other alchemy houses, which one is more acceptable?

Gu Xiangzhu's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and he was caught in an extremely painful tangle.

After pondering for a long time, he finally nodded: "Okay! That's it. I'll call the boy here and agree on some things in person, so as to avoid someone making little moves behind his back."

After that, he pushed open the palace door and entered the room where Zhao Ci was resting.

He called out softly: "Ci'er, come out with me."

Do you want to kill me so much?
