332 Festival Jedi(1/2)
Xiao Buyi was a little surprised when he heard that King Yue summoned him.
After entering the Eastern Capital, he had little contact except for seeing King Jiyue alone with Pei Mingcui. He was not close to King Yue, not because he looked down on King Yue, but because he felt a little pity.
He knew that King Yue was actually a pitiful person.
In Dongdu, King Yue was the biggest, but in Dongdu, King Yue actually had no real power. When Yang Guang left at the beginning, King Yue was still inferior to tens of thousands of people, but when everyone understood that Yang Guang could not turn around, King Yue's status had plummeted. He could still sit in a high position because there were some loyal ministers in the Sui Dynasty who were safe and sound. He was not protected by layers of protection like Yang Guang, but more people thought that he was more valuable to live.
Every time Xiao Buyi thinks of this, there is a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. I don’t know why he remembers Princess Leping and her son. When Yang Jian took the throne from the mother and son, he expanded his territory. Now if the same method is taken away by someone, it will be a great irony.
"Brother Huang, don't know what King Yue is asking for me?"
"This... I don't know, but King Yue looks in a good mood today. I think it may be a discussion to sacrifice to heaven." Huang Sheren said everything to Xiao Buyi now, saying that he didn't know, because there was no news.
Xiao Buyi nodded and was about to stand up. The bat walked in and whispered in Xiao Buyi's ear. A strange feeling suddenly appeared on Xiao Buyi's face. Huang Sheren asked in confusion, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong."
Xiao Buyi shook his head, "An old friend is here."
"Then can you enter the palace conveniently?" Huang Sheren asked, "If it is inconvenient, I can go back to King Yue for the time being and say, Brother Xiao, you are inconvenient." Huang Sheren's words prove that the weight of King Yue in the eyes of these ministers is sometimes not as good as Xiao Buyi.
Xiao Buyi smiled, "He is in the palace."
Huang Sheren also laughed, "Since that's the case, that's the best."
He didn't ask much and entered the palace with Xiao Buyi. Xiao Buyi went straight to Longguang Hall, but before he could come to the front of the hall, someone suddenly called out: "General Xiao..."
Xiao Buyi was a little surprised. When he saw Lu Chu coming over, he smiled and said, "I don't know what Lord Lu has to give?"
Lu Chu said softly: "General Xiao is going to see King Yue?" Seeing Xiao Buyi nodding, Lu Chu smiled and said, "The Queen Mother, Liu Liangdi, invites you, and asks the General to meet Queen Yue. Go to me for a while, I don't know if the general has any time.
Xiao Buyi was a little surprised and said after a while: "There is leisure, but I don't know if it's convenient?" If someone invited me, he was still very considerate, but Lu Chu was loyal and made him doubt other things. But Liu Liangdi was a widowed mother, and there were too many taboos when he went to see him.
Lu Chu smiled and said, "The Queen Mother thought of this, so Miss Pei and the monk Daoxin were present around her."
When Xiao Buyi heard the names of these two people, she smiled, "Then I would rather be respectful than obedience." In fact, before leaving the door, the bat told him that Daoxin came to Dongdu. When Daoxin came, Xiao Buyi was only surprised, but she felt that this monk would not enter the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Last time, he held an unblocked conference and almost destroyed the Great Sui Dynasty. What was the purpose of coming again this time?
While thinking, Xiao Buyi entered the Longguang Hall and saw King Yue high above. The two rows sat in Huangfu Wuyi, Duan Da, and Yuan Wen both had a group of ministers.
Xiao Buyi bowed and said, "I don't know if I am here, King Yue Xuan. What's the point of doing?"
When Huangfu Wuyi saw Xiao Buyi coming, he smiled and said, "General Xiao, it was my idea to invite you to come this time."
The ministers all changed their colors slightly, and thought to themselves that what Huangfu Wuyi said was extremely rude and was not the reason for a minister. The King of Yue was in a high position and his smile remained unabashed. He said softly: "General Huangfu has worked for the country and the people. It is also hard for him." His voice was a little hoarse than usual, and he coughed a few lightly.
Huangfu Wuyi asked with concern. "Is King Yue unwell?"
King Yue waved his hand and said, "I felt the cold yesterday, so it's okay. Thank you General Huangfu for your concern."
Every time the King of Yue was rude to Huangfu Wuyi, he would compromise and everyone was not surprised. When Xiao Buyi saw Huangfu Wuyi's demonstration, he did not confront him and just asked, "I don't know what General Huangfu has to do?"
Huangfu Wuyi said in a deep voice: "The King of Yue is worried about the country and the people, and is concerned about the success or failure of Lord Wang's expedition. Today, Lord Wang has sent troops to Luokou. King Yue decided to fast for three days to pray for Lord Wang's expedition. I wonder what General Xiao wants?"
Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "If you are not in his position, you will not plan your affairs. The King of Yue and General Huangfu should ask Taichang Qing about this matter. Asking me is considered as asking Yu Blind."
The Nine Temples and Five Supervisors of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the Taichang Temple mainly manages the rituals of the ancestral temples and sacrifices to heaven. It is understandable that Xiao Buyi said this.
Huangfu Wuyi did not sarcastically this time, but just smiled and said, "But Mr. Taichangqing and Zheng are old, and they have been feeling cold these days and are bedridden."
Xiao Buyi replied: "Taichangqing is sick, so you can let Taichang Shaoqing deal with it. This is also a normal phenomenon."
Huangfu Wuyi waved his hand and said, "After all, Shaoqing Taichang is not as safe as Lord Zheng, and King Yue is uneasy."
Xiao Buyi said lightly: "General Huangfu is safe in his work, so why not take this position as Taichangqing. I wonder what General Huangfu wants?"
Huangfu Wuyi was shocked. Unexpectedly, Xiao Buyi made this suggestion. Duan Da said, "Actually, General Xiao is a steady person and a kind-hearted person. If General Xiao presided over the matter of King Yue's sacrifice to heaven and praying for blessings, it should be reasonable."
Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "It's a problem for Lord Duan to say this."
Duan Da asked in confusion, "I don't know what General Xiao has to give me advice."
"Mr. Duan said that I am kind-hearted and kind-hearted, which is suitable for presiding over this matter, which is like saying that General Huangfu is not kind-hearted enough." Xiao Buyi smiled. Duan Da was full of embarrassment, "Of course not. I want to say that General Huangfu still has a heavy responsibility."
"Then isn't it important to sacrifice to heaven?" Xiao Buyi asked again.
Duan Da shut up and found that he shouldn't have interrupted. He originally wanted to please both sides, but he didn't expect that both sides would be bad. Huangfu Wuyi laughed, "General Xiao is really good at joking. I actually want to serve as a blessing. But on the one hand, the city defense is of great importance, and on the other hand, it is not as leisurely as General Xiao. If General Xiao refuses, he just needs to say a word to King Yue. This general will never force him."
King Yue asked at a high position, "General Huangfu and General Xiao work hard and have made great contributions, and each performs his responsibilities. Please do not refuse."
Xiao Buyi was not good at pushing him anymore and said with a polite manner: "Since that's the case, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful to me."
King Yue looked at Huangfu Wuyi on the high platform and hesitated: "I wonder if General Huangfu has any other business?"
Huangfu Wuyi shook his head and said, "King Yue... the empress is nothing else."
King Yue sighed with a long sigh. "Then..."
"Return to King Yue, I have something to do with me." Xiao Buyi suddenly said.
King Yue changed his color a little, and after a while, he said, "I don't know what General Xiao has to do?"
Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "Since the sacrifice to heaven is of great importance, we should ask for a serious act. The eminent monk Taoist has arrived in Dongdu, and I don't know how to ask him to preside over the sacrifice. What does the King of Yue mean to do?"
King Yue coughed a few more times, looked at Huangfu Wuyi quickly, and nodded slowly when he saw him. Zhan Yan said, "This is the best."
After Huangfu Wuyi walked out of Longguang Hall, he returned to the mansion. After a while, Liu Changgong hurried over, "General Huangfu, Xiao Buyi, left the hall, but went to the harem to meet the Queen Mother."
"What did you do when you see the Queen Mother?" Huangfu Wuyi's face turned gloomy.
Liu Changgong smiled bitterly and said, "General, that's the harem, I'm not allowed to enter without a chance."
"Why did Xiao Buyi go in again?" Huangfu Wuyi's thoughts flew around.
Liu Changgong whispered: "Lu Chu led him to go. According to the news in the palace, there are also the bitch Taoist thief Tui and Pei Mingcui beside Xiao Liu Liangdi."
Huangfu Wuyi's heart sank. "This Pei Mingcui is very cunning, with her..."
"Do you want to remove her?" Liu Changgong made a slashing gesture.
Huangfu Wuyi shook his head, "Don't make troubles outside the room, fortunately we only need to wait for another three days. Chang Gong, are everything ready?"
Liu Changgong nodded and said, "General, I am ready. The guards of Hanjia Gate have our local people. At that time, only the general will give me a signal. I will lead troops from Hanjia City to the East City. There is no problem in passing the East Palace to Ziwei City."
Huangfu Wuyi frowned and said, "Chang Gong, you are very important to the success or failure of this matter. Don't be careless."
Liu Changgong said seriously: "Changgong understands!"
Huangfu Wuyi sighed lightly and patted Liu Changgong on the shoulder, "Changgong, how many years have you been with me?"
Liu Changgong was stunned, "It should take three or four years, General, Changgong has always been promoted to have his current status. I am very grateful to the general. This time I can get the general's heavy trust, I must do my best to live up to the general's high expectations."
Huangfu Wuyi smiled and said, "There are not many people around me who can trust, you are one of them. Otherwise, I would rather give up Duan Da than keep you. If things are done, I will remember your first achievements! But I always feel that you are alone and alone. When you act, I will send Fei Qingnu to help you. I don't know what you think?"
Liu Changgong said excitedly: "This is the best. In fact, General Fei Lang's martial arts skills are a hundred times higher than mine. If the general likes it, he can let him preside over it. Changgong has no objection."
Huangfu Wuyi shook his head and said, "Chang Gong, you are very wrong. A high martial arts skills cannot represent everything! Qingnu is more skilled than you, but if you are leading the army and doing things, it is far less safe than you. You are the one who is the deputy, so that I can let go.
Liu Changgong showed a touch of emotion, "Thank you for your trust. But General, I don't know if you should say it or not."
"you say."
"We are here to persuade King Yue while offering sacrifices to heaven, but that boy Xiao Buyi has a great reputation. I am afraid that he will be killed and the ministers will not accept it. Besides, that old Lu Chu is not easy to deal with, so we must also be on guard against him."
Huangfu Wuyi laughed and said, "Kill Xiao Buyi, our elite soldiers are in our hands, and the entire East is under our control. How can the guards Lu Chu be defeated? You don't have to worry too much. As long as you lead the troops to break through Hanjia Sect, the rest will be solved."
Liu Changgong could not say much, so he could only say, "As the general's orders." He turned around and wanted to leave, and Huangfu Wuyi suddenly called him, "By the way, how is that Taoist thief bald martial arts? I only know that he is superb in Buddhism."
Liu Changgong also shook his head, "I don't know if I want to find someone to test it?"
Huangfu Wuyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "No need, I am sorry that he is a bald man and cannot make trouble. You should do your best now. Don't be alert to the snake, it would be unsightly!"
After Liu Changgong stepped down, Huangfu Wuyi smiled strangely. Obviously, anyone knew only part of his plan. He sat in the hall until late at night before he arrived in front of a room.
Now Huangfu Wuyi is powerful. The general's mansion is naturally extremely generous, but this room is a little simple and inconspicuous. There is no light in the room. Huangfu Wuyi arrived in front of the door and knocked on the door twice.
Although he was extremely arrogant and didn't even take the King of Yue seriously, he was somewhat respectful to the people in the room.
The door opened gently, and the dark holes were so scary that Huangfu Wuyi walked in slowly. After a while, his eyes slightly adapted to the darkness in the room.
She sat alone against the wall with long hair shawls. The room was very simple, not even bed, table and chairs. Huangfu Wuyi took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Sacrificing to the sky in three days."
The man said nothing, Huangfu Wuyi said again: "How sure are you to kill Xiao Buyi?"
"No." The man's voice was low and floating. As soon as he spoke, the room was instantly covered with a strange aura.
Huangfu Wuyi was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Then I have prepared carefully for so long, so why don't I return without success?"
The man didn't look back and said calmly: "In my opinion, there is no difference between Shizheng and Yizheng."
Huangfu Wuyi thought about his words and finally sighed, "No matter what, I am always on the string and I have to fire it. If I succeed, I will be appointed as the general of the country protection and will never break my promise!"
The man nodded, and there was no more voice. Huangfu Wuyi was originally suspicious, but he seemed to trust this person very much. He was rude and not angry at this person. He pondered for a moment and said, "There are many variables in offering sacrifices to heaven..." Seeing that the man was silent, Huangfu Wuyi smiled bitterly. "Daoxin suddenly came to Dongdu. I heard that he was a Taoist monk. The rest were not aware of it, but he didn't know how good his martial arts were?"
The man exclaimed softly, somewhat surprised. Huangfu Wuyi's heart sank, "Is he very good at martial arts?" The man was silent for a long time and said, "Not low."
The man was taciturn, but sat in the humble room and was full of pride. It seemed that the people of the world were not taken seriously by him. But when he evaluated Daoxin, he was less arrogant and more emotional. "Then are you sure of killing him?" Huangfu Wuyi asked nervously. Although he knew there would be no answer, he still couldn't help asking.
"I haven't fought with him." The man stared at the wall, "I don't have to fight with him!"
Huangfu Wuyi didn't understand what he was saying, frowned and said, "Your martial arts are superb, and it seems that you are not sure about killing Daoxin?"
The man said calmly: "Why should I kill him?"
Huangfu Wuyi breathed a sigh of relief and understood the man's intention. He tried his best to say that he was just a desperate bet and could not be missed. He heard that man's tone, it was not difficult to kill Xiao Buyi, and then he said in a deep voice: "I just hope you don't let me down. Three days later, I will come to you and let you get into the palace."
The man was silent anymore. Huangfu Wuyi walked out of the room and brought the door. Looking at the sky, he saw the stars and murmured: "Fortunately, three days are not long. I have been waiting for so long, why is it coming... Alas..."
To be continued...
