Book 32 - Chapter 11 – Treating Illness For An Enemy (1/2)
Leaving the Six-Happiness Casino’s e turned into the street
Shan Wanjing laughed sweetly and said, “Every ti for you outside the door?”
Xu Ziling peeked through the curtain at the arive him bad luck; he asked in surprise, “Surely they have people inside the casino standing guard to take precautions againstvia the back door or any other doors, or even juot into Gongzhu’s [princess] carriage?”
Shan Wanjing nonchalantly said, “If we cannot even deal with these s Ming Pai stillback into his seat, Xu Ziling turned his head toward the beautiful wozhu’s vision is very forh the curtain, you already recognized Xiaodi”
With , you really are too easy to recognize! My guess is that even Qin wang has also seen through your disguise; only he hides it in his heart and did not express it out!”
Xu Ziling recalled the previous night’s situation, where in the end Li shi+min advised him to leave the city It was indeed re that anybody would say to a randoer His heart wasthat within his Heavenly Policy Mansion, there ; because anything that happened in the Mansion, Li Jiancheng see like the back of his hand”
Just frouise of Mo Wei was subjected to questioning and Li Jiancheng immediately received the news, he knew that there was a mole inside the Heavenly Policy Mansion
Shan Wanjing nodded and said, “I arn hi in the direction of the pier area Not knohat to say, Xu Ziling had to ask, “Gongzhu this ti’an, was it for any particular reason?”
Shan Wanjing replied indifferently, “Taking advantage while wang shi+chong and the Li Clan have not for to deliver a shi+pment of weapons, shi+elds, bows and arrows, as well as armors, that have been , to replace the broken and old weapons You ought to kno tense the situation in Chang’an is these days”
Xu Ziling nodded, indicating that he understood But there was so that he did not understand, “With Li Yuan here,” he asked, “Although they, the three brothers, don’t get along well like fire and water, they should not dare to openly fight desperate battle!”
Shan Wanjing sighed and said, “I am afraid only Laotianye would know the answer to that question! Right now both sides are soth in Chang’an Because Jiancheng, Yuanji’s side obtained Dugu Clan, Nanhai Pai, and Li Mi joining their ranks, also the Tujue people openly and without fear rooting for them, their power enjoys dramatic increase, immediately they tower over the Heavenly Policy Mansion”
Xu Ziling really wanted to ask her whether she knew that Yue Shan was her Yeye [paternal grandfather (I think he ought to be her randfather)] But naturally he did not dare to actually ask her that question
This e warshi+p, the Dong Ming Pai flagshi+p, cast its anchor by the bank Shan Wanjing sighed and said, “Qin wang already has enough headache, yet you, two Dage plainly chose this ’an for the treasure hunt What do you suppose he has to do?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Xu Ziling said, “He ought to welcoest to hi and I only bring benefit to hi any harm”
But then he frowned and said, “Li Yuan only look on helplessly at Li Jiancheng’s power growing big, and the people he is pulling in are either fau Clan, or those harboring evil intentions like the Tujue; what is he actually thinking?”
Shan Wanjing said, “Li shi+bo [uncle (affectionate naht to be deliberately letting Li Jiancheng expanding his Chang Lin Ar [the same ‘shi+’ character as in ‘shi+bo’ above and in shi+min’s na’] not daring to be disloyal In hispower to go on the ra, Yuanji, could forget about surviving, it would be even more difficult for his beloved imperial concubines to live to their later years”
Stunned, Xu Ziling said, “Is he really that clueless on how to look at people?”
Shan Wanjing cast her gaze on the floating snow outside the ; her boso, she said, “The iether Deep in the Palace is where reatest weakness is that he is affectionate and lustful, so that the wo that shi+ht; hence even a better person would become a bad person who is wicked beyond redemption in his eyes For exa a banquet in the Palace Courtyard; re his birthwas overwhelmed with emotion and shed tears in public Unexpectedly Li shi+bo’s irudge against and jealous of Jiancheng and various imperial concubines If he was allowed to hold power, he would definitely kill them [fe Taizi is kindhearted and loving; only he could take care of theain, feminine] Under this daily effort, naturally Li shi+bo put shi+ close to hi time outside on military expedition, how could he have time to make the effort to explain himself? His natural character is the kind of people who refuse to abandon his principle and his stand, who does not keep account on anybody Himself and Li shi+bo are two different kinds of people who are the polar opposite of each other”
Xu Ziling was beginning to understand why Li Yuan would condone Ke Dazhi frustrating Li shi+ authority But after he reht to come to see the truth
After asoftly said, “When are you planning on transporting the stuffs inside the treasure trove out?”
Sue clues on the treasure trove; until this moment we still have not found thesaid, “Unexpectedly you don’t knohere the treasure trove is?”
“You could say that,” Xu Ziling explained, “Niang did not have tiave up”
Shan Wanjing’s pair of beautiful eyes lit up; she cheerfully said, “That is to say that your chance of finding the treasure is just slightly higher than people who coe of the treasure’s location; ahtly stumped for words “You could say that,” he replied
In high spirits, Shan Wanjing said, “Then I advise you to si Su was intelligent but devious; he was reserved but shrewd This kind ofactively to build the treasure trove in preparation of rising in rebellion, how could it be that easy to find?”
Szhu seems to be very happy that we can’t find the treasure trove”
“Of course,” Shan Wanjing admitted frankly, “Do you know that the two of you have becohout the world have the ’s Treasure fell into your hands, you would beco will also be forced to immediately launch the attack to avoid the Shao Shuai Ar trouble for his Li Fa the Central Plains”
Xu Ziling was puzzled, “Such a trivial treasure trove, can it play such a big role?” he asked
Shan Wanjing asked him back, “Do you kno the existence of the treasure trove leaked out?”
Xu Ziling shook his head blankly
Shan Wanjing said, “The infor XuanGan In those days he raised his troops in rebellion To stimulate morale, he clai, he could unearth his old Die Yang Su’s treasure trove He also said that the storehouse has enough weapons of superior quality to equip a division of twenty-thousand-h riches comparable to the state treasury Even before he iped out he still lamented that in vain he had the treasure but could not use it He had the treasure e and take it away Afterwards the ’s hands Everybody thinks that you obtained the secret map from the Luocha Nu [fe”
Xu Ziling shook his head and said, “When Niang passed away, she did not have the secretherself who destroyed it”
Shan Wanjing sighed and said, “If it were other people, not the two of you, talentedto you, I am afraid he would have been captured early on and would be tortured to get to the bottom of it, and then there could not possibly be this kind ofAn Canal; the snow has finally stopped Both banks have entirely beco welled up in his heart This tiain, they were like old friends who had known each other forthat could not be talked about, plus they trusted each other The feeling was cordial and war’an after the New Year like it was originally planned, I am afraid I would not have co asked, “Why did Gongzhu co as well?”
“Niang did not coent letter, hence we had no choice but to deliver the weapons early, siest weapon , Sha Tiannan to throw his lot with hie quantity of excellent quality weapons stored up outside Luoyang Qin wang predicted that obtaining the weapons that the Sha Faht becoood preparation to guard against it”
“And Li Yuan does not know anything about thisasked in disbelief
“So what if he does?” Shan Wanjing said, “Unless Li Yuan forbids his three sons to raise their own ar equipment is theare under Li Yuan’s direct control; therefore, his sonsin asaid, “In this kind of desperate-fight-could-happen-at-any- and deteriorate into trouble”
Glowering at hi, isn’t theis, the better it is?”
Xu Ziling frankly said, “If there were no Tujue people or perhaps the demonic school’s tre would have thought so But for the present virtuous cause, naturally Kou Zhong knows the difference between slight or i to herself irresolutely, Shan Wanjing asked, “Would Ziling be willing tosaid, “If anybody found out about it, Qin wangsecret ties with external eneht not be happy if I do that”
Shan Wanjing’s jet-black eyebrows lightly knitted, she said, “You guys see hiht?”
