I will hunt down this world

Li Shun maintained his "sense of shock" and said in a "trembling voice":

"But... hasn't the parliamentary system been abolished a long time ago? Since the early 25th year of the Ming Dynasty, the Maharaja abolished the parliament and established the Privy Council... This, is it...?!"

"That's right, the first Maharaja Su Tianci, the second Maharaja Lu Buran, the third Maharaja Mingming, the fourth Maharaja Lian Ye..."

Dong Zhongtian said leisurely:

"The masters of Yezhi in the past are all partners of the Taishan Club, or in other words, they were chosen by the Taishan Club. They are the embodiment of the personality of 'one voice' and 'one will'. They are all the most outstanding heroes in each era. , Taishan will recognize their strength and will, and then assist them to ascend to the supreme throne."

"The Taishan Society itself, using a more secretive and ingenious method and structure, hides itself in the ever-growing system of the Night Mansion to continue its life, persistently stirring the pulse of one era after another."

Having said that, he changed the subject and said lightly:

"In order to solve the problem that the position of the maharaja has been vacant for many years, Taishan Society designed a trial called [Zhiye Dachan], and then called the descendants of the maharajas of the past to determine the suitable candidate. cause of the incident."

"Presumably by now, you have guessed Lian Linxi's true identity to some extent. Yes, she is the only daughter of the fourth generation of emperors, and she was born with the qualification to compete for the throne of the fifth generation of emperors."

"Taishan Society has no position. If there is one, then the position is the Night Mansion itself, so regardless of status and background, all participants have equal opportunities [Prince Crown Prince], we will not interfere with specific objects, but the Four Generations Jun's political opponents didn't want Lian Linxi to participate in this trial, and even resorted to all means to end her life."

"After hearing the news, we dispatched a force to the outskirts of Mingjing to respond. If the guild didn't intervene, Lian Linxi should have arrived in Mingjing by now."

The voice from the receiver was calm and gentle, like a bottomless lake.

"Now for Mr. Bai, the way to break the situation is actually very simple. You only need to choose an opportunity to send Lian Linxi back to Mingjing and hand it over to Taishan Society to take over. Then everything will be safe. If Lian Linxi becomes the king, Taishan will I will help her, and the enemy will solve herself, if not, she will no longer have the value of being targeted, and she can also protect herself."

"I have stated the pros and cons, and Mr. Bai can carefully consider them."

When Dong Zhongtian finished speaking, Li Shun sneered.

consider?

Consider shit.

This old bastard, King Beichen, clearly hides treachery in his heart.

He deliberately cut out several of the most critical parts of the whole thing.

-------

Chapter 18 Ability

A cold sneer flashed in Li Shun's eyes.

King Beichen was clearly using speech to seduce himself with ulterior motives, just like he did when he seduced Lord Lianye back then.

The Taishan Society has a high tone, but in fact, in recent decades, there have been frequent wars in China, and the ruling power of the Yefu Mansion has been declining. This huge orthodox body is accelerating its decay.

Maharaja Lianye was lured by King Beichen and became a tool of the Taishan Society because he always had a heart of compassion and compassion for the world.

Li Shun is different from Lianye Maharaja, he does not have any lofty ideals in his heart, from the beginning to the end, he is just doing his best to survive, and now he adds a little more - to protect the people he wants to protect as much as possible, That's all.

He has already seen the whole picture of Lian Linxi's incident, and he can see at a glance that two important facts have been deliberately cut and concealed by King Beichen.

First, the essence of Zhiye Zen.

As early as the Yeshen incident, Li Shun had learned from Su Xingliu that the Zhiye Great Chan was actually a set of secret rituals called [Feng Chan], which was designed by Lianye Maharaja to restore The secret ceremony of the [Maharaja Seal Ribbon] made of Taiyue stone has strict conditions to achieve it. So far, only Maharaja Lianye has ever repaired the seal ribbon.

Because of this, the participants of this night meditation are limited to: the descendants of the maharajas of the past, and the holders of [Taiyue Stone Fragments].

Second, [The Lord]'s motive for chasing and killing Lian Linxi.

As far as Li Shun knows, Lian Linxi's identity is not a secret among the upper circles of Zhiye Mansion. Even Jingu Yao knows it. It is obviously impossible for the high-ranking owner to be ignorant. If the owner is only because of Lian Linxi's identity , There is no need to wait until now to start.

Lian Linxi was hunted down because she broke the deal on Taiyue stone fragments at the Feast of Bliss and won the fragments (sword scabbard), which destroyed the owner's plan to participate in the night meditation, so she was chased. There is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

The ins and outs of this matter, to say that Taishan, the organizer of the Zhiye Chan and the manipulator behind the Zhiye Mansion, would not know about it, is obviously a bit too fake, but regarding this point, King Beichen did not mention a word, just a simple attribution To the so-called four generations of political enemies.

Concealing these two points is actually concealing the most important part-the motivation of the Taishan Society.

If the range of participants in Zhiye Zen is "descendants of successive maharajas and holders of Taiyue stone fragments", it just makes Li Shun feel a little strange, then after hearing King Beichen's proposal to let him hand over Lian Linxi Li Shun immediately noticed the strangeness when it was suggested by the protection of Mount Tai.

Now it seems that for the Taishan Society, the importance of the Maharaja Xishou and the descendants of the Maharajas of all dynasties is actually equal.

Even if combined with Lian Linxi's identity as the daughter of the four generations, the existence of "Lian Linxi" may have an extraordinary significance for the Taishan Club?

The context is still a bit confusing, but Li Shun has already made a preliminary guess, all of which are most likely related to the conditions for achieving the secret ritual of Fengchan.

"I will consider it." Li Shun said indifferently.

King Beichen was silent for a while, and asked with a smile:

"Did the great sage offer the same conditions?"

"The great sage said that it can be used to emulate the old affairs of Guang Mogong."

King Beichen laughed and said: "Looking at it this way, my bid is actually low."

But I heard him go on:

"After the civil strife in Guangmoye, Duke Guangmo hid in Chang'an to seek asylum in Chang'an, and the great sage shielded her from the pressure, and helped her make a comeback after a few years. This is indeed a golden signboard of Chang'an. However, at this time and at that time, the great sage of today is already different, and his promises are no longer trustworthy."

"...how do I say this?"

"Not surprisingly, the great sage summoned you this time because he wants you to destroy the foundation of a certain force in Chang'an for him. If you choose one of them... the Vanishing Sect?"

Hearing what he said, Li Shun's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

"Well, this should be the best choice. You had a fight with the Huanguang Sect in Mingjing, and you fought against Dong Pingchuan, who defected to the Sect after you arrived in Chang'an. You know the facts and facts, and you are the perfect candidate. If it were me , I will also schedule in this way."

King Beichen said calmly:

"You should be wondering why I know the content of the secret conversation between you and the great sage. It's actually very simple, because I know his ultimate purpose and everything in the process is just deduction."

"Final goal?"

"The great sage is a very dangerous person. He has a deep-rooted hatred for the Night Mansion. A few decades ago, he was just a frightened bereaved dog, an insignificant desperado, but now he has changed completely. Became the master of this heavenly city. So what do you think he will do next?"

Li Shun pondered for a while, and said:

"revenge."

"That's right, his ultimate goal is to take revenge on the Night Mansion."

King Beichen lowered his voice:

"Trying to overthrow the Night Mansion with a small force may sound ridiculous, but according to my calculations, with the war potential of this city, it is absolutely possible to set off a war no less than the [Battle of Chiyuan]."

The Battle of Chiyuan, which took place in the 90th year of the Ming Dynasty, was a great battle at the foundation of the Dingding Guild.

Li Shun was not born at that time, but he had been in the guild all these years, so he knew something about that period of history.

At that time, after ten years of lurking and accumulating, the Hunter's Guild was gradually gaining momentum. At the same time, the three generations of kings had come to the final step on their way to becoming emperor. His totalitarian rule could not suppress the waves of opposition. Therefore, a war inevitably broke out in Chiyuan on the border between the north and the south of China.

In this battle, Zhiye Mansion's elite team put out all the best, and the guild gathered all their strength to put all their efforts into a desperate effort, and finally ended with the guild's disastrous victory.

Zhiye Mansion's defeat this time caused countless disasters, the loss of soldiers and the downfall of the strong were still secondary. The most serious consequence was that it directly triggered the Mingjing incident a year later, which caused the northern border to fail to recover.

The guild wiped out almost all the first-generation Sunshine and its descendants, and the power of the speculative faction began to grow against customers, and the power structure changed a lot.

Li Shun knew that King Beichen was not alarmist, and the great sage did have ambitions for war.

From what he saw and heard after he arrived in Chang'an, among other things, just look at the space-based weapons and ethereal battle clusters made by the great sage using his younger sister Li Ying, and you can get a glimpse of the leopard.

Even Li Zhao once clearly pointed out that the great sage had an attempt to start a war.

"I will not cover up my true purpose like the great sage. To put it bluntly, I don't want to see this war happen."

King Beichen clicked his tongue, as if recalling some past events, and said:

"As early as when the sages organized the creation of the sky city and raised funds from the world, I spent a little money to participate in the city construction, and thus obtained the identity of a group of Chang'an aborigines. It's called Zhiming Dong, the so-called Four Elephant Star Official."

King Beichen stated the astonishing facts lightly.

According to Luo Lizhi, when the Luo family of the Luanniao family decided to bet heavily on Chang'an, Luo Fengyin led the way and directly bet on [-]% of the family property, playing a stud.

However, this means a high-risk, high-return bet for the Luanniao family that has been passed down for generations, and in the mouth of King Beichen, it is just "a little money spent".

"When I realized how powerful the city's potential was, I continued to increase my investment. It took me two to 30 years of hard work and countless money to clear the way, and finally changed the underlying rules of the city to What it is now."

"The forces of the four elephants and star officials are crisscrossed, and there is always a business network that I can mobilize. The Sanyuan faction is solid, but the three major battalions of the imperial guards are often short of money, soldiers, and food. , and it is inevitable that there will be places that need to spend money to manage.”

"Here, money works, and I...have a lot of money."

King Beichen smiled:

"Of course, no one will know about this, just like no one will know that Mount Tai will be in the Night Mansion."

"No wonder..." Li Shun murmured, "No wonder Dong Pingchuan was able to lead the young generation in Chang'an and become the star commander."

Li Shun finally understood why Dong Pingchuan's development was smooth and logical, and why this city that pursued freedom and equality turned into a world of money and a paradise for crime.

The reason lies in the man opposite the communicator.

Regardless of all costs, King Beichen quietly shaped the city into the shape he wanted, cooked it slowly from the root, and completed a thorough corrosion.

King Beichen smiled and said:

"That is indeed a good long-term path. If you can successfully take over Chang'an by means of peaceful evolution without resorting to force, it will be the best choice."

"It's just a pity that the great sage finally made a move to remove this thread, which means that he didn't want to make a fortune. In the previous ten years, he was just hiding his strength and biding his time. He always intended to start a war."

"You mean..." Li Shun pretended to be ignorant, hesitantly said, "It was the great sage who joined hands with the Minguang Sect to instigate Dong Pingchuan?"

"good."

King Beichen didn't seem to care that Dong Pingchuan, the fruit of his cultivation for many years, was picked as a peach, and he still kept his attitude lightly:

"Shortly after the great sage came to the throne, he introduced the ghost market into Chang'an, and gave up many seats in the Nine Executives. At that time, including me, everyone was deceived by him, thinking that he also wanted to make a fortune, until recent years , I gradually recalled it, but I was still lucky, and it was not until Dong Pingchuan's incident happened that I was completely sure of his intentions."

"Since he came to power, although he has not restricted or even condoned the entry of external forces, the power in his hands has increased day by day. Through his superb political skills, while squeezing the local factions in Chang'an, he stimulated the vitality of Chang'an in a disguised form, thus constantly Strengthening his own power, unknowingly, Chang'an has formed a sharp pattern of confrontation between Yuan and Su, but in essence, the situation has completely fallen into his control."

Li Shun couldn't help nodding secretly, this was almost consistent with his deduction, the great sage was indeed a top political and strong man, possessing both the ability to keep secret and the method of thunder, even an old fox like King Beichen was almost kept in the dark by him.

"If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle the inside. This has been the case since ancient times. Since he decided to launch a war, he naturally had to clean up the inside first."

Beichen Wang is intriguing:

"As early as the beginning of this year, he started laying out the layout. He used the principle of heaven to lure out the big and small forces lurking in Chang'an. With the upcoming inauguration ceremony, all obstacles will be removed."

"It's just that at such a critical juncture, an unexpected thing happened-a few days ago, the strongest combat force under his command, the space-type monarch Wisdom, died, and died in the hands of a legendary figure. .”

"Brajna is so powerful and important that he is almost irreplaceable. His death was an accidental event, which means that it is difficult for the great sage to find a successor for Wijna in a short time."

"However, even though Wisdom is dead, the great sage's plan cannot stop. For this reason, he must introduce some energy from the outside, so he finally found you, the sun guard officer who has a team that can kill the king .”

King Beichen said in a leisurely manner:

"He doesn't know the existence of Lu Viper, and he doesn't know the composition of your team. If your performance in Dead Sea Ruins falls into his eyes, he will definitely be deeply jealous. He borrowed from you and promised you, which is really driving tigers away. The strategy of the wolf, the cunning rabbit and the lackey, wait for his backhand to settle, and then you will be the next one to die, so there is no need to say more about what will happen."

"That's why I found you. To some extent, Cang Xing, you and I are already on the same boat."

King Beichen paused, and said:

"Once the war breaks out, Chang'an will surely suffer. The great sage will reshape the order of Chang'an through the war to shape his absolute power. At that time, my many years of laying out will be destroyed."

"At present, Shenzhou maintains a delicate balance. Neither the Night Mansion nor the guild have the confidence to win a single battle. This is a hard-won peace, but once it is broken by external forces, the situation will be out of control. It is very disadvantageous to Zhiye Mansion and the guild."

He said coldly:

"So, I'm not going to let this war start."

Li Shun heard it clearly. Simply put, it was the great sage who hindered King Beichen's way of making money.

King Beichen has been operating the Zhiye Mansion behind the scenes of the Mount Tai Conference in Chang'an for many years, and has already created an invisible and stable chain of interests and power lines, which has reached the point where money can pass through the gods.

What does it mean that money can pass through the gods?King Beichen was even able to mobilize the three major battalions of royalists directly under the Sanyuan faction without telling the great sage, and he was able to insert dead men into the city of Dead Sea Ruins. The sage destroys his achievements through war.

Of course, as soon as the war starts, arms, supplies, and medicines can be said to be golden taels when the cannon fires, but King Beichen obviously cannot become the biggest beneficiary of the war, and even his interests will be damaged as a result, so there is a tension between the two. Almost irreconcilable contradictions.

Li Shun pondered for a moment, then said lightly:

"Your words are very reasonable, but they are the words of your family after all, and in the final analysis, the game between you and the great sage is not something that a small person like me can take part in lightly."

The implication is that if you refuse ten times, whoever wins will help whoever wins.

King Beichen couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, this was the happiest moment he laughed tonight:

"Hehehe, Cang Xing, you are a promising young man, very good, I think we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"I am a businessman, and I pay attention to clearly marked prices. If you trade with me, my price will always be the most sincere among all your optional trading partners. If it is not enough, I can add it until you are satisfied."

King Beichen, who owns the super chaebol Zhongtianshe, showed his arrogance without any disguise.

"I don't need you to express your opinion, and you can completely stand on the sidelines, but I will give you several times, tens of times, and hundreds of times in return according to the timing of your end. Everything depends on your own choice."
