Brutal touch

Chapter 4: Nan Yichang secretly plots for power

Nan Yichang put down his hand that was about to push the door open, turned around, looked at Nan Yichang blankly, and said, "You continue." Nan Yichang added, "Do you know who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday? Is it that person with the sixth surname? Who is the sixth surname? He is one step away from being one of the ten wise men. How about being in front of the old man? You have to kowtow to the dock. Now that the old man is old and confused, the position of the prime minister does not want us brothers. , but he focused on his students. Over the years, the old man has tortured many people to death. How many people have you and I tortured to death? The people below us have done so many immoral things through the reputation of the Prime Minister’s Palace. You and I both have a feeling in our hearts. Count, you figure it out, how many people want the old man and want our two brothers to die. When the old man gets sick or old, the position will be handed over. Just wait," Nan Yichang said, his tone revealing helplessness and Tired, like an old man who has been walking in an abyss all year round. He sighed unconsciously, slumped down on the Taishi chair, and finally continued: "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat even if I want to."

"This can't be true." Nan had never seen Nan Yichang like this before, and was even more surprised by Nan Yichang's remarks. He couldn't speak coherently for a moment: "Old man. How can such a shrewd man like this do this? Have you not even arranged an escape route?" "The official has reached this point. Who can protect whom, and who can leave a retreat for whom. If you don't want to save yourself, then no one can save you." Nan Yichang's expression changed. He stared at Nan Yixian viciously, making Nan Yixian feel uncomfortable all over, and then he said, "Tell me what you want me to do." "Don't tell anyone what happened today. People in gambling houses are not ignorant of life and death, and this will not be the case in the future. We must first let people outside know that some people hid the dirty things in the Prime Minister's Mansion from our brothers. When the time comes, King Chu will remember the old man's old relationship, We will also walk around Shizhe's place more. As long as the Prime Minister is from our family, you can have fun with as much as you want." Nan Yichang thought about it, his expression getting louder and he couldn't help but laugh. "If the Prime Minister doesn't leave our house, then it's your fault. You said I can't practice energy until I'm fifteen years old. Don't hide my magic tricks from the gong beaters. How are you better than me? The old man is the number one person under the King of Touch, so that's a big deal. Only one hundred thousand nobles are recognized as worthy of the Prime Minister of the country, we brothers? Maybe there will be something to do when the one hundred thousand nobles of the country die and eighty thousand die."

Nan Yixian smiled disdainfully and sat down to drink tea. Nan Yichang sat down, lowered his voice, but said in a stern tone: "Okay, then you have the old man to beat to death the Tongma Tongkui who is confronting him in Shizhe, and then beat to death the few who are hanging on the wall. , so that the old man doesn’t have to worry about big things every day, and we don’t have to plan any escape route here." Nan Yixian muttered: "When it comes to this Tongma, it can’t be better than the old man." "The old man is so early in the morning. I went out to discuss Shi Zhe. I have to wait for someone to tell me whether I will go back home for dinner. If I go to kill Shi Zhe, I will come back before the sun sets. But Shi Zhe Who is not carrying a huge responsibility, even if he can kill him, he cannot kill him. You and I have been helping the old man to do things for twenty or thirty years. How long ago did this prime minister use the realm of refining Qi to suppress people? Many people who touched the country It is the duty of a prime minister to handle matters well. In the past twenty or thirty years, have you ever seen the old man actually kill people? It can be seen that the thing of refining Qi is actually empty. After everyone's calculations are made, this is the world. The ability to be number one.”

In violation of the country's laws, the princes did not have to participate in the grand discussion. Therefore, the eldest son got free time and enjoyed himself in the backyard of the house, fetching water and cooking tea alone. While the pot was still burning on the fire, he suddenly heard a sentence: "I'm quite happy today." The eldest son looked back and saw that King Chu came to the house quietly. He hurriedly fell to his knees on the ground and couldn't even say a word for a while. King Chu waved his hand and asked the eldest son to stand up. He walked around the eldest son's courtyard and took a look. King Chu's capital was at the highest point of King Chu's kingdom, and his palace was at the highest point of King Chu's capital. The eldest prince's palace was right next to King Chu's palace. You can almost touch the clouds with your hands. If you lower your head, you can have a panoramic view of the entire territory of Huguo. However, King Chu always looks straight, looking at a vague mountain shadow in the distance.

"The capital of King Chu where we are located is second to none in terms of prosperity and scale in the country of Chu. It is only located on the Three Bitter Peaks that hold the sky and the ground. It seems not worth mentioning." King Chu knew that the eldest son must be I didn’t know what I meant by what I said, so I just kept it to myself.

"Yes, my father is right." The eldest son lowered his head and replied seriously.

"To the east of Sanku Peak is a plain. When the country was at its strongest, I killed three horses on this plain, but none of them reached the border. Among our ancestors, the best in magic skills also had to leave. Fifteen days. Do you know what this plain is called?" King Chu started to turn around and began to speak to the eldest son. As soon as he finished speaking, a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

"Return to my father, my name is Sannanyuan. My father's equestrian skills are naturally unparalleled in the world." The eldest son knew that his words were not a good reply, but he could not think of a more suitable word to say back, so he lowered his head even lower. .

"What about the Three Dilemmas going further east?" King Chu didn't seem to give up and insisted on asking what the result would be.

"This should be Barbarian Country. It's such a far away place, there can't be any other place besides Barbarian Country."

"It's the San'e Peak." King Chu said a little impatiently, "The Barbarian Kingdom is actually somewhat similar to us. The San'e Peak is the same as the San'e Peak, and it's tens of thousands of miles away. The territory of the sages can span San'e Peak and San'e Peak. Mountains, it’s almost dreamy to think about.”

"Father, as long as you use your talents and your loved ones prudently, with your father's ability, it will only be a matter of time to reach the achievements of the late king." The eldest son still said almost dullly.

"Oh? Then do I need to send people to find the collapse place again?"

"My father is the king of the Chu Kingdom. Since he has given the order, the people of the Chu Kingdom can only do it with all their strength." Qi is used on the land of the Huo country. Once a piece of land in the Huo country becomes a collapsed land, the people of the Huo country cannot use Qi here, but the barbarians can use Qi here. The boundary between the two countries is actually based on the collapse of the land. It changes due to the change of the land. So the fourth son’s recent search for the seven hundred miles of collapsed land is a credit, and there should be some reward. Do you know what the fourth son likes? "

"This... I don't know."

"That's all, I'll just arrange for others to do this. You can slowly learn all the tricks and tricks under your control. The most important thing right now is that you have to reach the level where you can master great magic. If you master great magic, you will be able to control this whole experience in the future. The power of the country is truly in your hands. Although the ancestors have summarized many experiences that can make subordinates desperate, the most reliable way to control them is the powerful power in their own hands. Among the many nobles in the country, Nan Buwen is naturally needless to say. , each of the ten philosophers has extraordinary abilities, plus there are so many aristocratic families, is it possible for them to surrender to a person who has no power to restrain a chicken?"

"Yes." A voice came from a distance. The king and the eldest son went to look for the voice, and the fourth son came towards them.

"Why do you have to refine Qi?" Fourth Young Master said as he approached.

"For the food in your mouth and the clothes on your body - isn't this reason enough?" King Chu seemed very unhappy with such a question. The eldest young master could no longer hide the fear on his face. It was not right to intercede for the fourth young master at this moment, nor was it not to intercede for the fourth young master. He could only watch the fourth young master reply from the spot. The fourth young master said: "Everything that touches the country, except the craftsmen. What is made is what the white people made, so what does it have to do with refining Qi?" "According to what you said, the royal family, ten philosophers, and one hundred thousand nobles of the country have all become parasites of the white people and craftsmen. Already?" King Chu's tone was slow and even contained a smile, which was even more terrifying in front of the eldest young master.

The Fourth Young Master looked at King Chu in front of him and felt that the person in front of him and the eldest Young Master next to him seemed to be incompatible with him. Not to mention them, sometimes even the Fourth Young Master himself felt that there was a difference between him and the Qi Refiner. The eldest son cannot be called a human being. At this moment, the eldest son's panic has already overflowed. The fourth son knows that this is coming from the same person who is refining Qi. The eldest son knows where the gap between himself and King Hu is, but the fourth son is against This gap is incomprehensible, which makes some ignorant people fearless. King Chu suddenly said: "Since you think so, it would be a good thing that you can't practice Qi. If it weren't for your body that couldn't withstand my attacks, I would definitely punish you." After saying this, King Chu turned around and put his hands behind his back. , directly left the eldest son's house and went to the King's Palace to discuss matters.

The Eldest Young Master and the Fourth Young Master watched from a distance as King Chu walked away. They didn't know how to speak for a long time. Finally, the Eldest Young Master slowly spoke and said, "You must not know how I spent my time around you just now." The Fourth Young Master He smiled and said: "What, are you scared?" The eldest son asked seriously: "You have been studying in Taipei for so long, and you have competed with bouldering. Have you ever won?" Although the fourth son wanted to lie and claim to have won, But first of all, he really had never won, and secondly, even if he insisted that he had won in front of the eldest son, it would be meaningless, so he bowed his head and remained silent. The eldest son continued: "Bouldering is just one of the Ten Philosophers. What is the Ten Philosophers? It means that there are ten in total who have the same strength as Bouldering, not to mention Tongma, the leader of the Ten Philosophers. Above Tongma is Tukoku. The prime minister of the country is Nan Buwen, and the one above Nan Buwen is the father. If you are helpless with bouldering, the gap in strength between you and those in power will be a huge chasm for you." Although the Fourth Young Master felt very unhappy after hearing this, he also Knowing that the eldest son was right, he did not refute, but said: "Great magic is wrong. No matter how strong the Shizhe is, or how powerful the king is, what is wrong is wrong and will never become right. Maybe there is a time when it touches the country. There may be dark clouds covering the sun, but the history books of the ages will have their own conclusions.”

The eldest son said: "If you were a Qi refiner now, you would be dead at this moment without having to wait for thousands of generations. You can say this now because you have no power, so they don't care and let you say whatever you want. If you had the power , if you can threaten them, you will be checked and balanced by them. When the time comes, you can’t say what you want to say, and you don’t dare to do what you want to do. You can’t make any mistakes.” The Fourth Young Master said: “I am a person. It is not easy for an abandoned son to hear something from the bottom of his heart. However, there must be a way to gain recognition without relying on Qi in this world. People should not kill people." The eldest son smiled and said, "I hope one day We can walk on the same road. I will discuss things with Asami and the others later, so I won't leave you." The Fourth Young Master also knew that if he continued to speak, he would only bring trouble to himself, so he casually found an excuse to leave. The eldest son left the backyard and went to the main hall. Seeing that there was no one there, he slumped down in the upper room without calling anyone to serve him. After closing his eyes for a while, he opened his eyes and saw a man in black jokingly saying in front of him: "You... Your useless brother is already thinking about doing something for the country, are you still going to continue pretending to be crazy and acting stupid?" When the eldest son saw someone coming, he sat up and said, "It's unfortunate to be born in an emperor's family, for someone like the fourth child , it’s pretty good. If you don’t practice Qi, you only get a salary. No one cares about it, and no one is watching. If you bring a group of incompetent disciples from Taixue to cause trouble, no one will bother to care about it. Difficult Eleven, what do you think? God, I've ruined all my abilities to start trouble with my fourth brother."

Nan Shiyi smiled and said: "In that case, I would be in trouble. I have to go and join the Second Young Master now. All my hard work in the past few years has been in vain." "Nan Shiyi, please stop saying a few words. This is not the time to worry. The most important thing is to protect the eldest son. When one day the eldest son inherits the throne, everything can be done." After saying that, a red-robed strategist came out, it was Asang from the Ma clan in the country, and said to Nan Shiyi. Nan Shiyi still smiled and replied: "It will be difficult if you want to wait for the old king to die. He has practiced Qi to the point where he has returned to his original nature and can do whatever he wants. I believe that he is immortal, but if you don't believe it, Let's wait a hundred or two hundred years and see, but God knows how many more princes he will give birth to in another hundred or two hundred years." "Nan Shiyi, please be more respectful. You are not only carrying your life, but also the eldest son. It has something to do with it." Hearing Nan Shiyi's words, Ma Shang became very arrogant and became very unhappy, and became no longer polite when he spoke. However, Nan Shiyi's expression did not change and he continued: "I am carrying a burden, and you are carrying the same burden. It is ridiculous to have the same idea." "Stop talking, I am the only one you said just now." I haven’t heard a word, so don’t mention it again in the future. The big meeting is about to begin. Shi Zhe and Nan Buwen are not fuel-efficient lamps. It is uncertain what to bring up in the big meeting. For the sake of national affairs, Now is not the time to fool around. The third child has already forced them to death. If the trouble continues, I don’t know how many people will die intentionally or unintentionally. That’s all. They are just sizing up my position. I will give it to him when the time comes." The young master said, stood up and left.

Besides, Li Weng had settled many things in the city. A man slipped into a forest. Without noticing, he bumped into a young man. The young man was staggered by Li Weng. When he saw it was Li Weng, he immediately knelt down. He said: "Master, Master, Master, Master, Master." Li Weng saw that it was his disciple Qichang, and knew that he never wandered around on weekdays, but today he did not know why he appeared here, and asked: "Qichang, you What are you doing here?" "Go in, go in, go into the city." Qichang said on his knees, "What are you doing in the city?" Li Weng asked. "Get rid of, get rid of, get rid of, get rid of evil." Qichang couldn't say much for a moment, his face turned red with urgency. Li Weng knew that Qichang spoke slowly, so he asked him one by one, asking Qichang to say slowly: "If you want to eliminate evil, then who is the evil person?" Zhe is one of them. Li Weng knew that Qi Chang would not make any decision, but once he made a decision, he would definitely not be able to dissuade him. Li Weng said: "Do you know that with your current ability, compared to Shi Zhe, you still can't dissuade him." The enemy." Qichang knelt and said, "Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice your life, sacrifice your life for righteousness." Li Weng's eyes left Qichang and turned to look at the capital: "You can't wait any longer?"
