Chapter 1175 Two bets
Chu Huan laughed and asked back: "Prime Minister Xin seems to be very confident that I will join the Skynet Project? But Prime Minister Xin may have forgotten that this governor is an official of the Qin Dynasty. The Skynet Project involves the royal family. Do you think I will walk on the same path as you?"
Xin Guiyuan was not anxious and laughed and said, "If you don't have confidence, how could you let Lord Chu know these top secret matters? Although I, Xin Guiyuan, have been without humans and ghosts for twenty years, I am not confused. Lord Chu is not a stupid person. If you are not sure, do you think you are qualified to know these secrets?"
Chu Huan smiled coldly and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
"I said we need to make a deal." Xin Guiyuan said: "Mr. Chu should not have forgotten that you are in a desperate situation now. Without my help, you will definitely not be able to leave here."
Chu Huan said "Oh" but said nothing.
Xin Guiyuan sighed: "Mr. Chu, in fact, this matter is not a difficult situation for you. I am not asking you to rebel, but just asking you to help our Xinzong find Buddhist jade together."
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Master Xin is afraid that he will misread the person. I am not able to help you any more."
Xin Guiyuan said: "Mr. Chu is a governor with a high position and a powerful position. Although Xichang and Qin are a great hatred, the purpose of the Heavenly King is not to avenge revenge, but to find what belongs to us." He stared at Chu Huan and said: "Mr. Chu, don't think that the Skynet is controlled by me. The Skynet is controlled by the Xin Sect. If the Buddha Jade is not retrieved for a day, the power of the Xin Sect will not withdraw from the Central Plains in one day..." He sighed: "In order to retrieve the Buddha Jade, the Xin Sect can do everything. If they stay in the Central Plains for a long time, it may not be a good thing for the Central Plains."
"Oh?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "It's strange that Prime Minister Xin said such words."
Xin Guiyuan stared at Chu Huan and said, "Does Lord Chu think that our Xichang people and Xinzong are not different from each other?"
"Isn't it?"
Xin Guiyuan shook his head and said, "I know that before the king left, what did he tell us to retrieve the Buddha jade, but what did he tell us?"
Chu Huan shook his head.
Xin Guiyuan looked back at the remains of King Xichang and smiled bitterly: "The king converted to the Buddhist sect and practiced Buddhism, and was compassionate. Before he died, he even told us not to have the idea of restoring the country."
Chu Huan was a little surprised, but Xin Guiyuan said seriously: "This is what the king said in his own words, and we must make a vow to never have the intention to enrich the country, because restoration of the country means bleeding. Qin State has great power, and the people of Xichang who want to restore the country must be loyal people in Xichang. The king does not want to see these people bleed and sacrifice because of restoration of the country."
Chu Huan looked at the bone and sighed: "It seems that King Xichang really understands the meaning of Buddhism."
"We must not refuse to obey the will of the king. If it were not for the will of the king, we would not have watched the crown prince leave." Xin Guiyuan's voice trembled slightly: "So our only task is to retrieve the Buddha Jade. Xin Sect came to the northwest and established the Skynet with us. Although the purpose was for the Buddha Jade, over the years, the Skynet has now been controlled by the Heart Sect. If they do not withdraw from Middle Earth, I believe that it will eventually bring about a greater disaster."
"Disaster?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Does Xinzong have other plans?"
"At the beginning of the establishment of the Skynet, human and material resources mainly depended on us Xichang people." Xin Guiyuan said slowly: "When the Skynet was established, the Buddhists of the Xin Sect who came from Middle-earth from the East had made a vow that as long as the Buddha jade was obtained, they would immediately leave Middle-earth with the remains of the king and would not participate in any right and wrong in Middle-earth."
Liuli frowned and said, "So what now?"
"Since Xinzong has made an oath to the Peacock King Bodhisattva, he will never dare to disobey it." Xin Guiyuan's voice fell: "But don't forget that the people of Xiliang regard Xinzong as their national religion. As far as I know, their national teacher is the Buddhist disciple of Xinzong...!"
Chu Huan's eyes twitched slightly, but Liuli had already understood, "Are you saying that the people of Xiliang could use Skynet to make trouble in Middle Earth?"
Xin Guiyuan said: "To be more precise, it is to use the disciples of the Xin Sect in Tianwang. After Feng Hanxiao died, when the people in the world were still kept in the dark, our Tianwang learned the news very early. Of course, Qin did not want people to know that Feng Hanxiao was dead. They tried their best to hide this matter, and even the Northwest Army at that time was kept in the dark... But Xiao Tianwen, the king of the Southern Court of Xiliang, led his army south in the shortest time...!"
Chu Huan looked solemn, "Do you think the people of Xiliang received the news and were conveyed by the people of Tianwang?"
"Yes." Xin Guiyuan said: "I have always had such suspicions. The people of Xiliang have never dared to move south. In fact, it was because they were too afraid of Feng Hanxiao that Xiao Tianwen did not have the courage to fight head-on with Feng Hanxiao. If he had not known that Feng Hanxiao was dead, the Xiliang army would not have been able to move southward... Since they were moving south, they naturally knew the news, but even the Qin people did not know that Feng Hanxiao was dead, how could they know?"
"Maybe the people of Xiliang themselves have other spies in the Central Plains." Liuli whispered: "It may not be done by the people of Tianwang."
"I hope so too." Xin Guiyuan sighed: "But the many clues I noticed later made me more and more suspicious that it was leaked by people from the Heart Sect..."
Chu Huan said: "In this way, there is a problem with Skynet itself?"
Xin Guiyuan said lightly: "The joining forces between Xinzong and Xichang has a common purpose. Even today, the purposes of Xinzong and Xichang are still the same. But I don't want Skynet to become other uses besides finding Buddhist jade."
"You are the minister of the fallen country in Xichang. According to common sense, you should hope that the Qin State will be as chaotic as possible, so that the grudges in your heart can be dissolved." Chu Huan stared at Xin Guiyuan's eyes, "But what you mean now, you seem to be afraid that the Xinzong will disrupt the Middle Land."
"What I fear is not Xinzong, but Xiliang." Xin Guiyuan said solemnly: "Don't forget that I am from Xichang and from Central Plains. I hate Qin to the core, but I am even more incompatible with the people of Xiliang..." He clenched his fists and sneered: "Qin attacked and destroyed my Xichang back then. Although it was brutal, it was at least not to kill everyone compared to the people of Xiliang. But the people of Xiliang...!" Speaking of this, Xin Guiyuan's eyes actually showed a cold and fierce look.
Chu Huan sighed: "In this way, Prime Minister Xin was worried that the people of Xiliang would use the Skynet to make a comeback in the Central Plains?" At this time, he actually thought that when he left Xiliang, there was an civil strife in Xiliang. In order to compete for the position of Xiliang, the Mahazang brothers were killed by each other, and there was also a Princess Gusa who was as beautiful as peaches and plums but extremely cunning.
It is difficult for Xiliang and Central China to communicate, but Chu Huan did not know what the situation of the civil strife in the Western Liang is now. If it were just the battle between the Mahazang brothers, Chu Huan was sure that Mahazang would be the final winner, but there was an additional Princess of the Gusa, and no one could explain the situation in Xiliang. No matter what, the civil strife in Xiliang would inevitably lead to a great loss of the national strength of Xiliang. Chu Huan also believed that within a few years, the people of Xiliang would have no strength to invade Qin in the south.
But he did not forget that the people of Xiliang were ambitious and never gave up their ambition to conquer the East. Mahazang was even more ambitious. Once the civil strife was quelled, the next step would be to advance south. Xiliang used the Xinzong to prepare for the next advance south. This was not impossible.
Xin Guiyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I have this concern. I don't care whether Qin will perish, but the soldiers of the Xiliang people will be sent to the Central Plains and must conquer the northwest first. Many of the people here were my Xichang people. I don't want to see them slaughtered by the Xiliang people again."
Liuli has always rarely spoken. At this time, she asked lightly: "Prince Xin, according to what you said, to retrieve the Buddha jade, not only for the King of Xichang, but also for the Central Plains?"
"For me, the most important thing is of course to allow the remains of the king to enter the Buddha cave." Xin Guiyuan said in a deep voice: "But for Lord Chu, since you are the governor of Xiguan, you must consider the people of Xiguan. Finding Buddha Jade as soon as possible will allow the children of Xinzong to withdraw from Middle Earth as soon as possible according to their original oath. This is beneficial or harmless to the northwest."
Chu Huan sighed: "After saying so much, your purpose is, after all, I hope I will become your Skynet member and help you find Buddha jade."
Xin Guiyuan said bluntly: "This is indeed my purpose, but it is also a fact. Since you claim to be an official of Qin, it is not without benefits for Qin to let the children of Xinzong leave Middle-earth as soon as possible."
Chu Huan said lightly: "What do you want me to do?"
"You are the governor of Xiguan. You can use your status to find the whereabouts of Buddha Jade in the northwest. Of course, you can help us many Skynets." Xin Guiyuan stared at Chu Huan's eyes, "Of course, the most important thing is that you are very close to Yingren, you are from the Qi Wang Party, and Yingren trusts you very much."
Chu Huan's eyes became cold, "Did you use me and then use the King of Qi to find the Buddha Jade?"
"That's exactly what it means." Xin Guiyuan said: "Although we have always hoped that Yingxiang can ascend the throne smoothly, no one will know the result until the end of the battle for the throne. Yingyuan has four sons, the eldest son will die long ago, and the third son is already crazy. Only Yingxiang and Yingren can inherit the throne. There is Liuli on Yingxiang and you, Lord Chu on Yingren. No matter who can ascend the throne, we can get the files of Bailou and obtain the whereabouts of Buddha Jade."
Chu Huan took a deep breath, and at this moment he finally understood why Tianwang had brought him into something like an outsider. He had always been wondering why Xin Guiyuan told all the things that Tianwang planned in front of him. At this moment, he finally understood that the other party had indeed completely planned himself.
Skynet may have put the treasure on the prince Yingxiang at the beginning, so it did not hesitate to use a stunning beauty like Liuli, but as Xin Guiyuan said, no one could guess the final result of the battle for the throne, so they bet on both sides, not only Prince Yingxiang, but also wanted to use himself to bet on King Yingren of Qi.
No matter who ascends the throne to the emperor in the end, Tianwang is obviously the final winner. For the sake of Buddha Jade, Tianwang really does everything he wants and takes great painstaking efforts.
