From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1236

"What? A fight?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't believe his ears. He couldn't help asking again: "You said that the Great Protector attacked Chenxi?"

Guan Lu nodded and said: "At first, they only fought one move. The old monk saw that Chenxi had internal strength, so he didn't fight again."

"But later, Chenxi's free clinic was so popular that there was no one left on the old monk's side. He was so angry that he proposed to fight with Chenxi."

"Then Chenxi knocked him down. Those people went crazy and asked how to join the sect and raise funds to build a Taoist temple."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said: "The Great Protector really helped us a lot. This fight will definitely go viral everywhere. Chenxi will be famous in Yili."

"Let Queenie mobilize his connections and resources to make this matter into a story, package it well, and spread it to all parts of the Western Regions Go."

"It's hard to change this place. It will take decades or even hundreds of years, but this is a good start after all."

"Chenxi has done a good job, and her image is also good."

"In terms of establishing the Dao, we need to do more."

Guan Lu said: "Let's talk about the current situation. I feel that Yining City is changing, and it seems that the city is about to be closed again."

"Can this be understood as Sima Yi jumping off the wall?"

Zhou Yuan looked at Ye Qingying and smiled: "What do you think, Second Senior Sister? From Sima Yi's perspective now, which direction would he pray for things to go?"

"It must be peace talks."

Ye Qingying said decisively: "Sima Yi is an ambitious person. It is impossible for him to choose to surrender and sacrifice for the so-called Western Regions. He must try his best to catch us, and then to promote negotiations. "

"In this way, he can at least buy himself three or four years."

"During these three or four years, he can communicate deeply with the Tsarist Empire and neighboring countries, hoping that they will send troops to protect us and strive to gain a foothold in our subsequent attacks."

"And the Mughal Empire and the Tsarist Empire will indeed help Sima Yi to a certain extent, because they do not want the hands of the Jin Dynasty to reach the Western Regions."

Zhou Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Look, my second senior sister is still powerful. If the old man Ziya had thought of this level, he would not be scared by me like that."

"Yarkand does have a way out, provided that peace talks are promoted and protection is obtained from neighboring countries. At that time, I will be busy with maritime affairs and may temporarily put this side on hold."

"If the development at sea is not very smooth, the shelving time may be "It will be more" "and the old man in Zia, in his mind, it is estimated that the guns of the army are all three years later." Laughing: "He wants to talk about peace, do others want to talk about peace? There are many people with ambitions on this land. Not everyone is willing to bury him." "Xiao Ying, help me send me a letter in the afternoon." Xiao Ying wiped his mouth and his eyes were on: "Who am I also?" Some guards conflicted. "Xiaoying slammed the chest:" To me! When I evacuated, I discussed with the nephew of the teacher. Who?"

"It's Chenxi's apprentice, the old lady who looks a bit fierce."

Xiaoying blinked and said, "She also wanted to learn witchcraft from me. I didn't agree or refuse."

No, this old lady is really a lifelong learner. She still wants to learn at such an old age.

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "The seeds of the Black Mountain Sect have been planted. We won't close the net there for the time being. It will naturally have miraculous effects when the time comes."

"It's time to meet the White Mountain Sect. Otherwise, they will think we are in such a mess. They might even waver."

Ye Qingying said, "We can't meet them. They are watching us closely. It's really difficult for us to infiltrate."

Zhou Yuan said, "People can't get in, and news can't get in?"

Ye Qingying said in a deep voice, "The news is fine. We can bring the news in through the logistics team. This is the limit of what we can do at present."

Zhou Yuan thought for a while, then whispered, "Take the letter in and tell them that we will meet at the palace in three days." "

Hearing this, the others were stunned at first, and then extremely shocked.

Ye Qingying immediately said: "Are you sure? We can't enter the palace."

Zhou Yuan said: "The Baishan Sect has not reached the point of desperation. How can we always watch the fire from the other side of the river? They must have princes or nobles to support them. We can definitely enter the palace by mixing with the guards and maids."

"Sima Yi couldn't sit still anymore,I'm afraid we'll have to seal off the city again starting today. No place is safe this time, including the Il Manor."

"Only the palace is safe."

Guan Lu frowned and said, "This move is too risky. If we're not careful, we'll be exposed. Once exposed, we'll have nowhere to escape."

"But the good thing is that we not only withstood Sima Yi's investigation, but also truly understood the structure of the Baishan faction, which can lay a solid foundation for the coup."

"I agree with this move, but we have to put on a few more layers of shells so that even if the opponent finds us, it's too late."

Zhou Yuan chuckled and said, "Three days later, it will be Sima Yi's sixtieth birthday."

Mei Wen heard it and said, "That's a good opportunity!"

Guan Lu slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no, this guy deliberately sealed off the city and waited for us to fall into his trap."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's useless to guess. It's actually very simple. Sima Yi knows that my only way out is in the palace, so he must be on guard here. ”

“He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to celebrate his birthday, settle the situation, and get everyone to sit down at the table for peace talks.”

“He is ambitious and confident in doing this, so he created such a situation.”

“We have no choice but to accept it.”

Ye Qingying frowned and said, “Then the Baishan Sect is the key. They must cover it up with all their strength so that we can have a hope of not being discovered.”

Guan Lu said, “It’s difficult. On the birthday, the Baishan Sect will definitely be the focus of attention, and their people will not escape scrutiny.”

“Now we can only hope for the prince secretly supported by the Baishan Sect.”

“Only if this prince protects us can we escape this disaster.”

Ye Qingying said seriously, “Sima Yi has more than 20 sons, but only four of them truly recognize the prince’s identity.”

“The eldest prince Azati, who is 40 years old this year, is Sima Yi’s right-hand man and the most respected.”

“The fourth prince Alim, who is 29 years old this year, is in the Black Mountain Sect camp and has no real power.” ”

“The fifth prince, Huojia, is 28 years old. He is a prince fully supported by the Black Mountain faction. He has fought with Sima Yi for several years and has performed well.”

“The ninth prince, Erken, is 22 years old. Due to poor health, he has been living in Yining City and has little information.”

Speaking of this, she paused slightly and said in a deep voice: “At present, the strong contenders for the throne are Azati and Huojia, especially Huojia. Many ministers have already stood on his side.”

“Alim has no hope and is not good at doing things. No one is optimistic about him.”

“Although the ninth prince, Erken, has been claiming to be sick, is it possible that he is keeping a low profile? He should be the prince that the White Mountain faction has been supporting.”

“If we want to enter the palace, the White Mountain faction can only play its trump card. The ninth prince, Erken, should send someone to contact us.”

Zhou Yuan thought about it, nodded and smiled: “Then we will wait for his good news!”
