Chapter 2519 The eve of the decisive battle
After leaving Zhu Qingyang's room, Hu You and Huang Ming both breathed a sigh of relief. Before entering, they didn't know where Zhu Fangfen would be at Zhu Qingyang, and they didn't expect her to jump out suddenly. Fortunately, she didn't see anything, otherwise it would be troublesome this time...
"You have met Zhu Fangfen before, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Huang Mingquan asked Hu You dissatisfiedly. For this plan, he had been lying on firewood and tasting gall for twenty years. He didn't want any accidents to happen at the last moment.
"I have indeed met you once, and I can't tell you everything, just as you didn't tell me everything, right?" Hu You said calmly.
Huang Mingquan had never said that there were eight shadow guards around Zhu Qingyang before. Until he wanted to have a direct contact with Zhu Qingyang, Huang Mingquan mentioned it simply, which also made Hu You not so satisfied.
Hu You knew that the shadow guard was there. When Hu You was in the Tianfeng Continent, there was a shadow guard around him. Their terror was not how powerful their kung fu was, but that no one knew where they were hiding.
Just now, Hu You focused on this aspect when he was Zhu Qingyang, but unfortunately, Hu You could not accurately find the location of the shadow guard except for vaguely feeling other people in the room.
"Are you blaming me?" Huang Mingquan snorted coldly: "The whole plan is mine. If you don't like it, you can not join. I didn't ask you to join."
Huang Mingquan seemed to be very angry today. He changed his previous attitude of being speechless and cold, and suddenly poured out all the dissatisfaction in his stomach.
"It seems that it shouldn't be the time to coax it inside." Hu You shook his head and said, "I know you are nervous about your plan, and I am also nervous about this plan. Although Zhu Fangfen and I have met, I am no longer the same way I did when I met Zhu Fangfen before. Zhu Fangfen is only suspicious at most, and it is absolutely impossible to recognize who I am."
Hu You's words calmed Huang Mingquan a lot. After twenty years of waiting, everything was going according to his plan. The whole plan had reached the last moment, and the feeling of gain and loss in his heart became stronger and stronger, which made his mood fluctuate greatly. He also thought Hu You were his own person and got angry at Hu You. In front of Zhu Qingyang, no matter how he did, he had to suppress the fire.
"I'm nervous." Zhu Qingyang shook his head and said, "I'll take back what I said just now, and I hope you don't take it to your heart."
"Yeah." Hu You thought for a while and said, "I don't think Zhu Fangfen will be fooled so easily. Anyway, I need someone I know. I know almost the same. It's better to leave the palace for a few days. On the one hand, I can avoid Zhu Fangfen, and on the other hand, I can coordinate the things outside to get hit."
"Okay, then you'll stay outside the palace in the next few days. Do you have a place to stay outside? I'll have a few places to go, so why not draw a place for you to use for the time being."
"No need." Hu You smiled and said, "Wei Yunfeng and the others are considered local snakes. It's okay to find a place to hide. By the way, I have something I have always wanted to ask you, why did you start with Wei Yunfeng and Long Guangyun before?"
************************************************************
Hu You, who had left the palace, was thinking about Huang Mingquan's previous words. Huang Mingquan didn't say that Hu You really didn't expect that Wei Yunfeng and Long Guangyun were originally calculated by Huang Mingquan.
Huang Mingquan's entire plan was really big. He silently calculated everything he could use, making them unconsciously become Huang Mingquan's people.
"Including me." Hu You smiled bitterly.
Hu You himself knew that it was completely an accident that he would come to the Empire of Light. It should not have been in Huang Mingquan's plan. However, Huang Mingquan's ability to adapt to the situation was really unmatched. He actually fine-tuned this part of the plan in a short time, allowing Hu You to participate.
The only surprise was Li Qiushui. Huang Mingquan should have never expected Hu You to make a decision on Li Qiushui before. This caught Huang Mingquan off guard, but Huang Mingquan was still a very calm person. After analyzing Hu You's personality traits, he determined that even if Hu You used Li Qiushui, he would not cause harm to Li Qiushui. This is also the reason why Hu You could stay by Li Qiushui for so many days and Huang Mingquan did not take action.
While thinking and walking, Hu You thought about it and happened to return to the hotel. Because the whole floor was under the control of his own people, no outsider knew that Hu You had not been in the hotel for several days.
"You are finally back." Zhu Fangfei discovered Hu You when Hu You entered the hotel and was waiting for Hu You to come up here.
"How about Zhu Fengda and the others?" The one who was most reluctant to let go of Hu You was Zhu Fengda. This guy was not successful enough and had more than enough trouble. If he didn't pay attention, he might get into trouble. If it weren't for this, Zhu Xianming wouldn't have taken the training of Zhu Fengda as a condition for cooperation. I believe Zhu Xianming is more clear than anyone else.
"Yang Changji looks at him, there will be no problem. How are you doing? I am really worried these days." Zhu Fangfei did not hide her concern for Hu You at all.
"I'm fine, with Huang Mingquan taking care of me, there will be no problem." Hu You smiled and said, "Then you are your family, what's there to worry about? By the way, are Zuo Zhi and they are not in the hotel?"
It’s not that Hu You couldn’t see Zhu Fangfei’s love, but like Li Qiushui, he couldn’t afford to accept this love. He could only pretend that he didn’t know anything. Anyway, after the incident of the Light Empire, he had almost no chance of coming to the Light Empire again. If he didn’t meet him for a long time, Zhu Fangfei would forget him.
"They went out to do business. The Guojun sent some good men for us to call. They went to resettle those people." Zhu Fangfei told Hu You everything he knew.
"Have they taken action recently?" Hu You remembered what Huang Mingquan said. In the past few days, several very important figures on Zhu Qingyang's side have more or less problems. These information was sent back by Hu You. If Wei Yunfeng and the others did not do anything, Huang Mingquan would not say that, and Zhu Qingyang would not directly look for them.
"I don't know much about this. It was Zuo Envoy, Yang Changjian and the others who were dealing with it." Zhu Fangfei shook her head. She knew that she didn't know about this.
"Yang Changjian is here, I'll go and talk to him."
************************************************************
"Why did you take action without discussing with me?" Hu You asked when he saw Yang Changji.
"I don't understand what you are saying." Yang Changji's eyes flashed, as if he was intentionally trying to avoid Hu You's eyes.
"You know what I mean, don't tell me, something happened to Zhu Qingyang has nothing to do with you." Hu You was not polite to Yang Changji at all. It's not that Huang Mingquan was angry before. Hu You was also unhappy when encountering such a thing. Everyone is a partner. Shouldn't you take it out and discuss it together? The actions of taking action in private will not only fail to achieve the results, but will also put everyone in a dangerous situation.
"These are all instructions from the master of the country. I just follow the orders. You and I don't know what kind of person Huang Mingquan is. For the sake of the Light Empire, we have to provide some guarantees and do not communicate with you. That is not to affect you." Yang Changji looked at Hu You and made the words clear.
"Put me a man from the country." Hu You snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. You want to put gold on your face and strive for more merits and reward merits!"
"Whatever you think. I just follow the order. If you are dissatisfied, you can tell the Master of Guo. As long as you say a word, I can ignore anything, but before that, I must do it according to the Master of Guo's wishes." Yang Changji also became tough. In his opinion, the information in his hand was enough to step on Zhu Qingyang. Whether Huang Mingquan's help was no longer important.
"Yang Changjian, I've misread you." Hu You said angrily: "I'll contact Mr. Guo to see what he said."
Hu You had known for a long time that human nature is fragile in the face of interests, but he never thought that now there was still so far away from success, so someone would jump out to pick peaches. If this continues, they would not be closer and closer to success, but farther and farther away. If they were not done well, the entire plan might be affected. No wonder Huang Mingquan would lose control, and Hu You would be unable to control himself at this time.
Yang Changji smiled and said, "You are also a smart person. Can't you see what the master of Guo's family thinks? Even if you contact Mr. Guo's family, what can you do? No one is willing to hand over his fate to others. Even if Mr. Guo's family does not pursue fame and fortune, he must consider protecting himself in such a chaotic world. Besides, what's wrong with getting rid of this obstacle? Let's pull out Zhu Qingyang's minions first. Wouldn't it be much easier to deal with Zhu Qingyang?"
"Yang Changjian, you are still a military advisor. You can say that. Don't you know what the plan is? If you don't act according to the plan, it will affect the operation of the entire plan in minutes. At that time, we will not deal with Zhu Qingyang more easily, but may be defeated!"
Hu Youzhen didn't know what to say. Before, he saw that Yang Changji was quite smart, but he didn't know that he was so impatient. It seemed that he was still young. Although Yang Changji was trained by Zhu Xianming as Zhu Fengda's right-hand man since childhood, his qualifications were not bad, but his experience was still too little after all. In the face of such a great era, he wanted to show and do something.
Hu You did not suspect that what Yang Changji did was recognized by Zhu Xianming, but Zhu Xianming was far away from home and was not so clear about the situation in the emperor.... It was normal to make wrong judgments under Yang Changji's guidance.
************************************************************
The situation was indeed the same as Hu You thought. After contacting Zhu Xianming, Hu You gave Zhu Xianming details about the current situation in the imperial capital one by one. From Zhu Xianming's reaction, Hu You could see that many things were not reported to Zhu Xianming.
"You have heard what the master of Guo's surname has said. I will take charge of everything in the future. Without my instructions, please stop making your own decisions."
In fact, Yang Changji is Hu You's junior, and Hu You should be tempted by him, but Hu You don't have so much time to help others teach their children. He must use the simplest and most effective method to let Yang Changji know who has the final say here.
Yang Changji was scolded by Zhu Xianming through the communicator. Now he became much more honest. He nodded when Hu You spoke, but he was no longer the same as before.
"Maybe I've said something a little bit, but I did this for the whole plan. I hope you don't have any ideas. The Empire of Light is always yours. I just happened to you. During this period, you will help me, right?"
A slap has to give you a sweet heart. Hu You has been young and knows that people like Yang Changji who are young and have some skills have a lot of ideas in their hearts. Just relying on Zhu Xianming's words may not convince Yang Changji. This time, the plan is a whole big plan. Any problem in any link may affect the final result. Time no longer allows Hu You to fail again, so this time, they must succeed.
"I understand." Yang Changji nodded. In fact, he had already realized his previous mistake. He wanted to show something so much that he bypassed Hu You and did something.
"Then do you know what to do?" Hu You was still relieved to see Yang Changji willing to listen to the teachings. Yang Changji's role is still very important. If he is too determined to decide to sing a opposite tune, then Hu You will be troublesome even if he has three heads and six arms.
"I'll inform Wei Yunfeng and the others not to continue the previous actions." Yang Changji fully understood what Hu You meant. He would be chosen by Zhu Xianming because he really had that talent, not because he was handsome.
"Well, you are more familiar with the people sent by the Master Guo, so you will be responsible for it. You can let them get familiar with the goals. However, before the real action begins, you must not act rashly."
"Okay." Yang Changbing did not postpone it. He was indeed familiar with the people sent by Zhu Xianming than Hu You, and only he could command those people. They would not listen to Hu You's words.
"Then let it be. Just know what I do today. Don't tell the eldest princess and the others." Hu You said and patted Yang Changbing and went back to his room to rest. At this moment, there were still many things in his mind, so he had to take them out and sort them out. It was enough that an accident happened once, and he didn't want similar things to happen again. Cooperation in multiple aspects has never been easy, and even Hu You can only do his best to maintain it.
It is difficult to be a human being, and it is even more difficult to be a person who carries too much responsibility on his shoulders.
************************************************************
In the next few days, Yang Changji was quite honest, and Hu You had been staying in the hotel for a while, and there was no more situations that Hu You didn't want to see.
In a blink of an eye, there was only one day left before Zhu Qingyang's ascension ceremony. Tomorrow, Zhu Qingyang will sacrifice to heaven and become the king. If everything goes well, he will become the new master of the Empire of Light. However, Hu You will not let him succeed.
In the hotel, Hu You, Yang Changji, Wei Yunfeng and others were all there. In the afternoon, Zhu Fengda was secretly sent out of the emperor... They all have to take action tomorrow. Zhu Fengda, Zhu Xianming's only son, cannot stay and take risks.
"In your hands, there is a same list. You all know what you should do. Here, I only emphasize one sentence: If there is one person on this list, you can't appear on the throne ceremony tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, Hu You, we won't let you down." As soon as Hu You finished speaking, Zhu Fangfei said anxiously. Everyone has been busy these days, but she is idle and has nothing to do. To be honest, she is really nervous, but thinking that Hu You will be there tomorrow, she is a little calmer.
Hu You smiled and said, "This is not a question of whether to disappoint me. It is our common cause. We also work hard for ourselves. After the wine is completed, we will drink it with tea instead of wine. I wish you all the best and success!"
"Okay, let's work together!"
“For our common cause!”
At this moment, everyone was very excited. After so much arrangement and waiting for so long, they finally saw the true chapter. This time their opponent is Zhu Qingyang, who is famous for a long time. Whether Zhu Qingyang is one foot taller or one foot taller depends on tomorrow's performance.
After making the final arrangement, Hu You entered the palace again. Tomorrow he would follow Huang Mingquan throughout the whole process, one was Huang Mingquan's assistant, and the other was to prevent accidents. Tomorrow is an important day, and one can only succeed but not fail. No one dares to be careless or careless.
"All have been arranged?" Huang Mingquan didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or something else, so he actually answered Hu You in person at the palace gate.
"All arrangements have been made, those people will not show up tomorrow." Hu You replied.
"Well, after twenty years of waiting, it's finally over." Huang Mingquan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm basically ready here, but I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm not doing anything."
"You are too nervous. Don't worry. We have made arrangements for possible problems, and Zhu Xianming has also arrived at the Emperor secretly... I will fully support our actions tomorrow, so there should be no problems. You are not in good spirits, so go and rest first."
"At this time, I'm afraid I can't sleep. You'll have nothing to do now. We might as well have a drink." Huang Mingquan said with a thought.
"Okay, I happen to have a very special bottle of wine here, but we have to make an appointment first. I can only drink one, because I promised that the person who gave me wine would taste this bottle little by little."
"Is it Li Qiushui gave it to you?" Huang Mingquan guessed the original owner of the wine.
"Well, I think you are interested in this wine, too."
***************************************************************
Tomorrow is the day Zhu Qingyang chose for himself to ascend the throne. No one knows what will happen, but tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.
Zhu Qingyang has not fallen asleep for twenty years now. In Zhu Qingyang's opinion, that throne should have been his twenty years ago. Tomorrow, as long as he lives tomorrow, the throne will return to his hands again. He vowed to take back all the things he had lost in the past twenty years, and he wanted the regrets that made him was wasting twenty years of time.
The more he wanted to sleep, the more he couldn't sleep, Zhu Qingyang simply put on his clothes and got up. He wanted to take a look at the palace as he is now, and everything would become different tomorrow.
Yes, everything will be very different.
"Why do you feel palpitations?" Zhu Qingyang said in a deep voice. Everything has been arranged, so there should be no problem. But why can't this mind calm down?
"Who?" Suddenly, Zhu Qingyang felt someone approaching, and suddenly became vigilant. Although there were eight shadow guards around him, he would never hand over his life to their hands. Except for believing in himself, Zhu Qingyang did not believe anyone.
"It's you."
Seeing the visitor clearly, Zhu Qingyang relaxed a little. The visitor was Zhu Fangfen, who was counted as his niece. Zhu Fangfen's skill was average and he did not have the ability to take his life.
"It's so late, aren't you sleeping?" Zhu Qingyang asked.
"I can't sleep." Zhu Fangfen shook her head and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel something will happen tomorrow."
Zhu Qingyang's expression tightened and asked, "What do you think will happen, or do you find something?"
"Do you remember the person who came to see you with Huang Mingquan that day? His eyes gave me a very familiar feeling. I can be sure that I must have seen him. But he and Huang Mingquan said they had never seen me."
"What then?" Zhu Qingyang looked calm, as if what Zhu Fangfen was talking about had nothing to do with him.
"After that day, I checked that person. The man seemed to be hiding from me intentionally and never entered the palace again. Until earlier tonight, I accidentally saw him entering the palace. Guess what?"
"Tell me the point." Zhu Qingyang was not a storyteller in a teahouse, and he still guessed while listening.
"When he entered the palace, Huang Mingquan actually went to greet him in person." Zhu Fangfen said the agreement.
"Huang Mingquan?" Zhu Qingyang's expression tightened and said, "Do you doubt Huang Mingquan?"
For twenty years, Zhu Qingyang has been trapped in the Heavenly Prison, and most of the things outside are handled by Huang Mingquan. Zhu Qingyang also sent someone else to look at Huang Mingquan, but he didn't find any problems. Could it be that at this most important moment, Huang Mingquan would turn against him?
"I don't know this. Huang Mingquan is yours, you know him better than me. I just want to remind you to be more careful."
"Well, I understand." Zhu Qingyang's face was as heavy as water, and the air around him was cold for a few degrees.
Chapter completed!
