Chapter 1193 Tell me
"Zhao Kuangyin, I'm afraid I'm about to die."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Fan Xiang has already gone to King Lei's Mansion to steal Qilin's blood, and the minister is also actively looking for Zong Xin's whereabouts. As long as Your Majesty persists for a while, he will definitely be able to survive."

Chai Rong waved his hands and said, "Don't say nice words, I know what's going on with my body. Zhao Kuangyin~ How do I treat you?"

"The sky is high and the earth is thick."

"Now I have something for you to do..."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Tell me, who did you harm?"

"Bastard~ Do I still need your help when I hurt someone?"

"Then... this conversation is exactly the same as when Zong Xin asked me to harm someone before, and I said it without paying attention." Zhao Kuangyin said: "Is there anything you want me to do, Your Majesty?"

"You don't need to go to Zongxin anymore, I guess Zongxin won't help me." Chai Rong said: "I think Zongxin was very worried about the widow's extermination of the Buddha back then, but even if he offended Zongxin and the widow, he must do it." How can a country not have its own coins? But those believers worship Zong Xin so much that they use all the copper coins from previous dynasties to cast Buddha statues. The basic currency in circulation is gone. The national strength of a country lies in the effectiveness of its currency in circulation. If the copper coins of Dazhou are not as valuable as Buddha statues, then how can we talk about national strength? Zongxin has too much influence on the world, I must To limit Zong Xin's right to speak, it is imperative to destroy the Buddha."

Zhao Kuangyin also understands this truth very well. When a monk becomes an idol of the whole people, he must be suppressed.During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang became the idol of the whole people. At that time, Emperor Xuanzong Li Shimin still killed Master Xuanzang's most proud disciple, Monk Bianji.

Of course, distinguishing the opportunity is also seeking death, and his adulterous relationship with Princess Gaoyang is also one of the fuses.But in fact, the private lives of all members of the royal family in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty were very chaotic, and no one cared about such things.But Li Shimin took this matter as an excuse and cut Monk Bianji in half. In fact, the real reason was to suppress Buddhism.

"Zhao Kuangyin, you go directly to Guo Xin. You must find him before I die and let him inherit the throne." Chai Rong said: "After I die, there will be no one to inherit the throne, and Great Zhou will perish. It is definitely not a good thing for Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde to inherit the throne. Neither of them are talented emperors, and letting them inherit the throne will definitely cause chaos in the world, it is better to let Da Zhou perish."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty, the rivers and lakes are so vast, how can we find them? I can only do my best."

"Then... Aiqing is troublesome. You are the only one with the highest martial arts in the imperial court. You were also a member of the Jianghu back then. You must be the only one who can find Xin'er. Remember, I won't last long, so I must hurry up."

Guo Xin's martial arts is superb and his resourcefulness is unparalleled, so he is the best choice to entrust the world.Although Chai Rong also hopes to be more selfish, after all, his son Chai Zongxun is only 6 or 7 years old. How can such a young child help Da Zhou get through this critical moment?
But what Chai Rong didn't know was, how could Zhao Kuangyin help Chai Rong find Guo Xin?If Guo Xin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Zhao Kuangyin would have no chance at all. All he had done for so many years was making wedding dresses for others.

Not only would Zhao Kuangyin not go looking for Tianya, he even hoped to find Tianya on the way and kill him.

But Tian Ya is too cunning, he never appears in front of the world, only reveals his name occasionally, he will come and go without a trace.I have only met Guo Xin once in so many years, and Guo Xin also figured out a way to help Zhao Kuangyin defeat the Southern Tang Navy that time.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin was also quite reluctant to kill Guo Xin. He also watched Guo Xin grow up, and Guo Xin was much smarter than him, so he could ask him to help when necessary.Not only his mind, Guo Xin's martial arts has also developed greatly, and he will become a well-known master in the world in a short time.

Zhao Kuangyin knew very well that Guo Xin had great potential, and he was someone who could not afford to offend Zong Xin. The reason was simple because offending Zong Xin would mean fighting Zong Xin alone, but if he offended Guo Xin, his master would come to help... There is also the national power of the entire Great Zhou, which is also a very terrifying thing.

It's impossible to find it, but you can't say this in front of Chai Rong, just pretend to be a little bit.

"Your Majesty has a decree that your ministers must do their best and die." Zhao Kuangyin said: "Then Your Majesty will persevere and wait for the minister or Fan Xiang to come back."

"General Zhao, where are you going to find him?"

"Toyosu."

"Why is Xin'er in Fengzhou?" Chai Rong asked curiously, "What basis does General Zhao have?"

"Qi Wang Guo Xin is exactly the same as his master. Judging from their master and apprentice's love for fun, they will definitely be present in the battle of Cangzhou, and it is precisely because of this that I saved my life. At that time, Zong Xin showed up to save Wei Chen, but King Qi Guo Xin did not show up, and must have been watching the battle elsewhere. After the battle in Cangzhou, I think King Qi will go to Fengzhou to prepare supplies, and then he will go to the Uighurs, and finally to Persia." Zhao Kuangyin said: "King Qi Guo Xin has wanted to surpass him all his life. His master, but both in terms of martial arts and ingenuity, Qi Wang was far behind, so Qi Wang wanted to go to a place further than his master. Last time, Zong Xin and we originally planned to go to Persia to find a way to distill soju. As a result, we met Persian merchants in the Uighurs. They taught Zongxin the distillation method, and we returned to the Central Plains. If King Qi wanted to surpass Zongxin, he should go to Persia, so that he could go further than Zongxin. ”

Chai Rong pouted, Zhao Kuangyin's idea was too extreme, how could there be such a childish idea in the world?But it was this extreme idea that was able to find him.Zhao Kuangyin has been with them for a long time, and he actually knows more about Guo Xin than himself. Since Zhao Kuangyin thinks there is a chance, let him go.

"How much time do you think it will take?"

"It's as little as January, and as much as March."

Compared with ordinary people, the speed of going to Zhao Kuangyin in Fengzhou is already very fast, but Chai Rong still feels that it is not fast enough.Because he didn't know how long he could last, maybe it would be gone in half a month.It doesn't matter if it lasts another year, but Chai Rong really doesn't know how long he can live.

"Hmm~! General Zhao has worked hard. This is for the safety of the entire Great Zhou and the prosperity and stability of the entire Central Plains. As long as the letter can be found, it doesn't matter whether the widow can live for a few more years."

"Your Majesty is serious. As long as Prime Minister Fan successfully steals the Qilin blood, Your Majesty can dominate the world for twenty years."

Chai Rong nodded and said: "There is a little hope, but the hope is not great. You and I know Fan Zhi's martial arts, and he can come and go freely in Leiwang's mansion only by relying on his status as Lei Hong's son-in-law. Let him Stealing the most important thing from King Lei's Mansion...isn't that easy."

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it is difficult to defend against a family thief by day and night. I think the chances are high. Because Fan Zhi has always been upright, and that drop of unicorn blood was prepared for Fan Zhi's son Lei Hailong, who is Fan Zhi's relative." Son, who wouldn't think about his son? That's why Lei Hong never dreamed that Fan Zhi would steal the blood of the unicorn and present it to Your Majesty. But... the minister is worried about another possibility. Lei Fang beside Fan Zhi also After drinking the unicorn blood, the temptation to rejuvenate is not something ordinary people can resist. If Fan Zhi is speculated with a little selfish thinking, he may not be able to send the unicorn blood to His Majesty."

Chai Rong was initially worried about whether Fan Zhi could steal the Qilin blood. After Zhao Kuangyin said that the probability of Fan Zhi stealing the Qilin blood was actually very high, another problem arose. Will he give it to himself after stealing it? It turned out that this was the most critical question.

Thinking about it carefully, in fact, it doesn't make much difference to Fan Zhi who is the emperor. He is already the prime minister, and his status cannot be higher than now.As a civil servant, even if he went to battle to kill the enemy, he would not be able to fall on his head. His life should be very happy.

Because Fan Zhi is now married to a concubine, and the concubine is pregnant, he is reluctant to die.Lei Fang and his concubine are both young and beautiful. How can he bear it if one of them is old and ugly?As long as you swallow the Kirin blood, you can restore your youth for 20 years. This is also a great temptation for an old person whose youth is about to disappear completely.

Fan Zhi is upright, but there is also a time for being upright.When he has 100 taels of silver, he doesn't care about the gain or loss of a penny. At this time, everyone is upright.But if he only has one penny, would he care about the gains and losses of 100 taels of silver?

Even Chai Rong was not sure whether Fan Zhi would give him the stolen unicorn blood, but it was impossible to ask at this time, and this kind of question could not be asked.

Fan Zhi has already gone to King Lei's Mansion, and now he can only wait for the news. He is a loyal minister when he hears about Fan Zhi.

"That's all, life and death are up to fate, wealth is in the sky. Fan Zhi originally came up with this idea, and he couldn't turn his back on it in the end. Now it's up to me to wait." Chai Rong said: "When will General Zhao plan to leave? ?”

"The minister wants to wait another ten days and a half months before leaving."

"Have you waited so long before leaving? If you don't leave immediately, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for King Qi to come back." Chai Rong didn't know why Zhao Kuangyin had to wait so long before leaving, but Zhao Kuangyin must have his fault for doing so. Chai Rong still trusts Zhao Kuangyin very much.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty, if I leave Bianliang City directly... I am afraid that no matter how fast you run, Your Majesty will not be able to return before King Buqi. So I want to find out a way to pass the Red Emperor's true energy directly to His Majesty as soon as possible." , so it will take more than ten days. No matter whether I can research it or not, I will transfer some of my skills to His Majesty to maintain my life and ensure that His Majesty's life is safe."

"The Red Emperor's true essence is possible, but if a person is exhausted, how can he prolong his life by relying on internal strength alone?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "It is impossible to prolong life, but I can keep His Majesty from dying temporarily. Just like Wu Yanhongyu back then, even though his lifespan had already been exhausted, he still insisted on walking for more than a month and came to Bianliang City. I also You can imitate this method to delay for His Majesty until Fan Xiang returns."

"What's the point of doing this? What if Fan Zhi can't steal it back?"

"Do your best and listen to God's will."
