Chapter 70 Night Talk

Bang!

With a crisp sound, it didn't sound like someone hitting a wine cup, but it seemed like someone caught it with his hands.

The footsteps suddenly became clear.

Gao Hong picked up the knife he placed beside him, and Zhou An also touched his waist, but saw a white-haired old man wearing casual clothes walking out of the archway shrouded in the darkness.

Gao Hong and Zhou An quickly put down their weapons, stood up and said, "Master General!"

It's Kanglongi here.

He lives next door, which is close.

Kang Longji raised his hand to the two, indicating that they didn’t have to be restrained... This is in private, Kang Longji has no habit of putting on airs. His age, strength, identity, and putting on airs are unnecessary.

Except for the Empress, no one dared to breathe when they saw him. Only Princess Yunjing dared to act spoiled to him, and even the Empress respected him very much.

If a eunuch can achieve this, it is not the case that there will be no future, but it will be unprecedented.

"We are meditating, listen to you, come and have a look." Kanglongji said in a crisp voice, walked to the door of the house, and placed the intact wine cup on the small table.

Although Kanglongji lives next door in Ningyiyuan, he is still far away. He can hear him talking here, and his ears are a bit scary.

"Grandmaster, I've aroused you, so we'll withdraw..." Zhou An respects Kang Longji very much. In terms of age, Kang Longji must be of Zhou An's seniority. Of course, what Kang Longji deserves the most respect is not age, but character.

He is a wise official who can be passed down through the ages.

"Forget it, I'll just come and take a walk." Kanglongi, who was private, seemed easy-going.

"Mr. Kang, please sit down." Gao Hong hurriedly pulled his chair to Kanglongi.

Zhou Anze turned around and went into the house to get chairs and bowls and chopsticks.

Kanglongi may not necessarily eat barbecue with them, but he still has to take what he should take.

When Zhou An came out again, he heard Kang Longji, who had already sat down, talking to Gao Hong.

"...I heard you just said that tomorrow's dynasty will be about the emperor..."

Zhou An heard this, handed the chair to Gao Hong, and stood aside again.

"Sit down, sit down." Kanglongi casually signaled to Zhou An.

"Kang Gong, we are all rude. Don't forget to go to your heart. We just drank some wine and didn't control our mouths..." Gao Hong was a little frightened and said it was a serious crime. It was a great disrespectful crime. It was nothing to be heard by others, but this was heard by Kang Longji.

"It's okay." Kang Longji waved his hand and glanced at the two of them, "You are all loyal ministers and loyal slaves of the priest. I always want to share my worries for the priest. No one will blame you, tell me..." Kang Longji sat on the chair, straightened his right leg, and subconsciously pounded his fist on his knee.

"The situation is not known to everyone in the world, and it is not much different. There is nothing that cannot be said." Kang Longji said, shook his head slightly, and he could feel his fatigue from his words.

He is too tired!

At the age of over 100, he still has to work hard day and night for the country and the country. The empress is still young and the empress cannot see many things clearly. Kang Longji has to help control it. The current empress seems to be capable and talented, and has started to fight back against Wu Xukuan, and has achieved some results.

But in fact, behind all this, there is the shadow of Kanglongi.

There is nothing more tired than him!

Zhou An and Gao Hong looked at each other, but they didn't know where to start, and they were afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Gao Hong calmed down and said, "Mr. Kang, actually, Xiao Anzi and I didn't say anything. It just means that the Tianda Dynasty is still in the situation. Old Wu wants to force the palace, but he doesn't know if he has used any conspiracy..."

"What do you think will happen tomorrow morning?" Kanglongi asked.

"This..." Gao Hong hesitated and paused, "Mr. Kang, Beizhi is a rough man. If you ask Beizhi to go to battle and kill the enemy, if you say such a thing, Beizhi dare not make assertions. Tomorrow's affairs... Beizhi is hard to say."

It is true that Gao Hong is a general or a rough man, but he is smart enough to be smart. His rank as a general of the country protection is not for nothing.

It’s not that he is hard to say, but he dares not say it! He can’t say it!

The situation is too unfavorable to the empress, and he cannot say anything disrespectful, anyway... too much words will lead to mistakes!

"Oh!" Kang Longji sighed and said, "Tomorrow, how many people do you think will come to court? Just say an imaginary number." Kang Longji asked directly.

"I guess there must be some people..." Gao Hong looked very difficult to say.

"Yes, there must be some people..." Kanglongi answered, but did not say anything more. Instead, he glanced at the small table next to the stove and said, "Is there any wine?"

“Yes, there is wine!”

"Grandpa, I'll give you a full list."

Zhou An had brought a new wine cup before. When Kang Longji said he wanted wine, he immediately got up and picked up the wine cup that was buttoned on the table, picked up the wine pot, and filled Kang Longji with a cup.

Kanglongi loved wine when he was young, but when he got older, he gradually stopped drinking. Now it can be said that he doesn’t touch the wine.

Today he suddenly wanted to drink, probably because he was unhappy and under too much pressure!

His pressure is imaginable. The burden of the country and the country is actually mostly on the empress, but to put it bluntly, what does the empress know?! She is still a young eagle. Whether she can spread her wings and fly high depends on whether she can withstand this disaster!

Zhou An handed Kang Longji the filled wine cup and sat down again after Kang Longji took it over.

Kang Longji took a sip of wine, glanced at Zhou An again, and when he put down the wine cup, he spoke: "Xiao Anzi, what do you think? What will happen tomorrow morning?"

"The little one dares not speak nonsense." Zhou Andao.

"It's okay, just say it, we don't blame you for right or wrong," said Kanglongi.

"Then... the little one said..." Zhou An hesitated for a moment before continuing: "The little one thought that Wu Xukuan would probably come to court tomorrow morning!"

"Oh?" Kang Longji tilted his head and looked at Zhou An. He was surprised. He had asked many people, but no one dared to assert that Zhou An was the first to dare to assert.

"Why?" Kanglongi asked.

"Because Wu Xukuan is also afraid!" Zhou Anlian said, "This old thief Wu said that he held the power of the world's troops and horses, and was in power in the court, but in fact, more people were just afraid of him, not loyal to him, especially in Qianjing City, where the interests are complicated. Wu Xukuan wanted to rebel, so he had to support him below, but why didn't he rebel yet? The young thought that he was afraid that directly rebelled would cause chaos in the world, and the other was that his direct descendants in the court could not be said to be as few as there were rumors from the outside world."

"Well, let's continue...what is Wu Xukuan afraid of?" Kang Longji said.

Zhou An was shocked, and he quickly pulled the chair away, stood up and bowed, "Small obey the order!"

Kanglongi didn't say anything else, picked up the small wine cup, dried the remaining wine in one sip, and then got up and walked out.

"Cough! Cough cough cough... Cough cough cough!" Kanglongi took only two steps and suddenly started coughing. Not only did he cough a few times, but he became more and more violent, as if his lungs were about to cough out.

Zhou An suddenly rushed behind Kang Longji, carefully patted Kang Longji's back shoulder, and then patted Kang Longji's back and said, "Grandpa, are you okay?"

"Master General, are you anxious to drink..." Gao Hong also hurried over.

Kanglongi raised his hand and waved it, coughed twice before pressing down his cough.

"Our family is fine, you drink less, don't miss it tomorrow." Kang Longji did not let Zhou Anfu go, and left with his hands behind his back.

Zhou An and Gao Hong watched Kang Longji out of the yard, and their faces were so cunning.

"Grandmaster..."

"I'm afraid..."

The two of them looked at each other and both understood what each other meant.
