MTL - That Person In That River and Lake-Chapter 464 Cangzhou Lotus Peak

  Chapter 464 On the Lotus Peak in Cangzhou

King Qi's Mansion is located in Cangzhou City in Cangzhou. When Gu Qingci set foot in this city, he felt only depressed. At that time, the King of Qi, Su Zhui, had been pretending to be crazy all his life, with an extremely dandy face. Facing the people of the world, the city was made into a miasma, and the people were in dire straits.

Gu Qingci doesn't want to talk about the current Emperor Xia, so he can't say whether Su Zhui is right or wrong. However, if he is in the same situation as Su Zhui, he can only do this. There is only one who has no ambitions. Moreover, only the former royal family without successors can reassure the current emperor.

   "It's just a pity," Gu Qingci sighed softly: "Su Zhui was born in the wrong era, and he was also born in the right era. It's rare to be confused, why not continue to be confused?"

Through Su Zhui being able to gather hundreds of thousands of troops in such a short period of time and completely control the entire Cangzhou, it is not difficult to see that this is a man of great talent and boldness, and every step is clearly calculated, but what he met was another A talented person who takes advantage of the right time, place and people is doomed to fail.

On the Lotus Peak, Gu Qingci saw the only king of the opposite **** in Xia Kingdom. He was a very ordinary middle-aged man, not the one who was hollowed out by wine and **** in the legend, but he did not have the tendency to swallow mountains and rivers. He was just a middle-aged Su Beisheng. There is a bit haggard between the eyebrows, and the temples are gray.

   "Patriarch Su!" Gu Qing resigned and said.

  From Su Zhui, Gu Qingci didn't feel any hatred or resentment.

Su Zhui seemed to see Gu Qingci's surprise, and said, "Master Gu, don't worry too much. Although my Su family is a royal family of the former dynasty, I have cultivated it for a hundred years, but it hasn't made much progress. Everything is done by the current emperor. Under your control, in the name of your Sword Immortal, you can come and go freely on my Lotus Peak."

  Gu Qingci did not speak.

Su Zhui continued: "I don't have any grudges against you. It's common for a king to be defeated. Besides, anyone with a discerning eye can see that I am doomed to fail in this rebellion. As for my child and the ancestor, they are just It's just a loss, even though I have sacrificed my life, the members of my Su family can still afford to lose."

  Gu Qingci cupped his hands and said: "The owner of the Su family is Gao Yi."

Su Zhui stretched out his hand to ask Gu Qingci to sit down, poured Gu Qingci a cup of tea, and said, "I can't do anything about the farce in Cangzhou this time. My Su family is too involved with Buddhism. When Zhao Guo was founded, he had the merits of Buddhism." , Later, my Su family was able to keep it, and it was also thanks to Buddhism."

"It's just that this kindness is too great, and it also restricts my Su family too deeply, and I can't get out. Speaking of it, I was the one who broke my promise first. Since my ancestors, my Su family has always been favored by Buddhism, and I also had an oath at the beginning. First of all, this century-old catastrophe, it is time for the Su family to repay their favor, but the Su family has a rare and confused person like me."

   "I broke my promise, which forced Buddhism to persecute me, making me unable to help myself. This farce is doomed, and of course, it must be a failure."

Gu Qingci has also heard about the grievances between the Su family and the Buddhist sect, and it is indeed deeply involved. Otherwise, the Buddhist sect would not have supported Su Beisheng that much at the beginning, because Su Zhui, the current head of the Su family, has parted ways with the Buddhist sect, and they need to find another partner Well, Su Beisheng is the most suitable one. It just so happens that Su Beisheng also needs help from Buddhism.

  However, Gu Qingci was not very interested in these grievances, so he said: "Patriarch Su, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more, I am just curious, why did you come to me?"

  Su Zhui smiled slightly: "I want to make a deal with Master Gu."

   "What deal?" Gu Qingci asked.

  Su Zhui sighed, and said: "My Su family is already doomed to exterminate the family, but I have some people who are worried, and I don't want them to die with me. My Su family owes them too much."

   Gu Qingci was silent, he already guessed who Su Zhui was talking about.

As the royal family of the former dynasty, the Su family has a group of diehard loyalists. Over the years, there are also descendants alive. For example, on the Cangzhou battlefield today, Zhuge Xiu, the first marshal of the rebel army, is a descendant of the Zhuge family of the former dynasty. On the battlefield, he was able to hold on against the trend completely, and even the old Marshal Chu Zixu praised him endlessly, saying that it was a pity that the time, place and people did not take advantage of him, otherwise, the Cangzhou battlefield would not be so easy.

  Seeing Gu Qingci's expression, Su Zhui understood that Gu Qingci knew about these situations, and said, "Don't worry, Gu Houye, I won't make things difficult for you. I'm not asking you to protect your clan."

"Since I started falling out with Buddhism back then, I have already anticipated the situation today, so I have already transferred all the members of the four major ministers of my Su family out. Although they are still in Cangzhou now, they are not in my Cangzhou city. Here, Lord Hou doesn’t need to do too much, he just needs to give them a place to live in Heiyu, after all, after the city of Cangzhou is broken, the world will be so big that there may be no room for them.”

   Gu Qingci pondered for a while, and asked, "Who are they?"

Su Zhui said: "Except for the old, the weak, women and children, that is, some disabled or children, I put them in a village. Over the years, they have all gotten used to the life of ordinary people. If the Marquis promises to give them a foothold I guarantee that they will not bother you, Lord Hou, and I also guarantee that without someone from the Su family, if there is a member from the Su family, they will not be able to survive."

Gu Qingci asked again: "But there is one thing I don't understand. In this world, although there are not many people who can help Patriarch Su, there are still some. As for me, although Patriarch Su is generous, he has no resentment towards me, isn't it? An enemy is also an enemy, why are you looking for me?"

Su Zhui smiled slightly and said: "There are indeed many people who can have this kind of strength, but there is only one Gu Qingci who is unparalleled in the world. How can I rest assured about the others? In addition, in terms of land boundaries, there are no ones who are suitable for them to survive. Is it more suitable than the Black Territory, a place where the three countries do not intervene?"

   Gu Qingci pondered for a while, and said: "I can agree to Patriarch Su's request, but I need to go to see it in person to be sure."

   "Naturally." Su Zhui said with a sigh of relief.

   "Then I wonder what Patriarch Su plans to exchange with you?" Gu Qingci asked.

  Su Zhuiwei said: "I know that Master Hou is planning for your brother, so the first exchange is that the Cangzhou battlefield is opened for him. Of course, this is just icing on the cake."

"Secondly, I have a map of the battle formation. Of course, although the battle formation is very rare, if it is just a battle formation, I think the Marquis must also have it. But my battle formation also has a matching armor, the legendary Iron Buddha that is invincible in the world. !"

  Gu Qing was moved: "Iron Buddha!"
