Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 777 Different Brain Circuits

There is one bad thing about bamboo houses, it is that it is difficult to avoid making noise when climbing up the house.

However, bamboo houses are also the best in this regard because they are particularly effective in preventing thieves.

As the slow and steady footsteps got closer, the door opened and an old man in brocade robes walked in.

The old man had a clear face, a slightly dark complexion and many wrinkles on his face.

On the leather belt around his waist hung a small Dali knife about the length of a dagger.

The scabbard with silver carvings reflected the light on the bamboo and wooden walls, which were as beautiful as colorful snowflakes.

"You... you..."

Gao Shuyao was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

If Yang Yuan and Yang Liangao had something planned, how could they have such a close relationship with her uncle?
Also, wasn’t my uncle in Dali City handling government affairs and discussing the negotiation rules between the two countries? How come he is here?

Yang Yuan let go of Gao Shuyao's arm, quickly stepped back two steps, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Gao, you guys chat, I'll be away for a while."

Gao Shuyao finally reacted and glared at Yang Yuan fiercely.

Her originally snow-white face had turned red to purple.

Although... it was unlikely that her uncle could hear what she and Yang Yuan said, let alone see anything.

But...after all, my uncle was standing not far from the small building at that time.

At such a close distance, with the head of the family standing there, she was so coquettish that even if she was pretending, it was so embarrassing.

Yang Yuan, this bastard ah ah ah ~~~
Sorry, Xiaodao!

I really want to kill your man now!

Yang Yuan left in a very elegant manner, waving his sleeves without any hesitation.

Yang Yuan needed the Dali king to cede land to Song for the sake of justice, but to maintain the newly occupied land, strong military force alone was not the solution to long-term peace.

Therefore, he also needs the cooperation of the real powerful figures of the Dali Kingdom.

He was trying his best to unite the chiefs of the twelve counties in Liangshan Prefecture, so how could he ignore the Gao family, the real behind-the-scenes king of the Dali Kingdom?

During the time when Yang Liangao was injured and accompanied him on the front line for negotiations, Dao Feifei often went to Gao's house.

She has the best relationship with Gao Shuyao, but that doesn't mean she has no friendship with the other sisters in the Gao family.

It was with the cover of this relationship that Dao Feifei actually represented Yang Yuan and had secret contacts with the Gao family time and time again.

Therefore, there was a secret collaboration between Yang Yuan and Gao Zhenshou.

……

Gao Zhenshou sat down behind the table, poured two cups of tea, and pushed one of them to Gao Shuyao.

"Shu Yao, sit down."

Gao Shuyao took a deep breath, walked over and sat down.

Although she was resentful, she was just avoiding the Gao family before.

Her own uncle, and even her parents must have agreed to her entering the palace.

What else could she do? Would she fight against her own parents?

"On your wedding night, you crippled Yang Liangao?"

Gao Zhenshou asked calmly.

"Yes!"

Gao Shuyao looked like a rebellious child, and even had a smug smile on her face.

You want me to marry a man I hate, and I will make him unable to be a man. Are you satisfied now?

Gao Zhenshou was silent for a moment, chuckled, and said, "Very good."

"Ok?"

Gao Shuyao was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Zhenshou in astonishment.

fine?
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Gao Shuyao couldn't help but sneer.

"That day I said I didn't want to marry Yang Liangao, and my uncle told me to go and tell him myself.

When I went there, he used drugs on me, so it was my uncle who informed him?"

Gao Zhenshou was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

"Now that I have abolished Yang Liangao, the Gao and Yang families are at odds with each other, and the rift between the two families can never be bridged.

Uncle thought Shu Yao was still useful, so he approved of something that you didn't approve of and couldn't change?"

Gao Zhenshou sighed and said slowly, "Yao'er, uncle knows that you are resentful.

But in a family like ours, all the children, regardless of gender, have gone through the same thing, right?

Even your uncle and I, as well as your parents, fully considered the interests of the family alliance when we entered into marriages.

But if that person is so bad in every aspect, how could we let our children suffer? Yang Liangao is indeed not bad at all.”

Gao Shuyao sneered: "But I don't like being manipulated by others."

Gao Zhenshou smiled bitterly: "Your parents are just too doting on you."

Gao Shuyao snorted coldly but did not refute.

Although her parents' marriage was decided based on political factors, they were not a couple of enemies and they did love her very much since she was a child.

That's why she developed her lawless character.

She didn't want to deny this, nor could she deny it.

Gao Zhenshou said, "Before, your uncle hid something from you. I didn't expect you to be so aggressive and cause such a big thing."

"Now that I think about it, you are also a member of the Gao family. You also have a responsibility to maintain the Gao family's strength and unchanging glory."

"So, since I've asked you to get involved, there are some things that I should be honest with you about."

Gao Zhenshou paused for a moment before saying, "My uncle didn't expect that the local chiefs usually didn't show much hostility towards the Yang family, but after Yang Liangao ascended the throne, the reactions of the local dignitaries were so intense."

"At that time, my uncle and Venerable Vajrabodhi discussed the matter."

"It is not allowed to re-establish the Duan family. Although we are a small country, we cannot take national affairs too lightly."

"So, Master Vajrabodhi gave my uncle an idea."

Gao Zhenshou told the solution he had discussed with Master Vajrabodhi.

At that time, he did not tell Gao Shuyao all his plans, even though he heard Gao Shuyao say that she did not like marrying Yang Liangao.

Yang Liangao was young and promising, had great martial arts skills, a good character, and was also the king of Dali Kingdom.

With such conditions, countless Dali girls are willing to be his concubines.

If you tell Gao Shuyao that you are marrying him just to use him, we will slowly turn him into a mentally retarded person, and then he will become a puppet in your hands...

I believe that even if Gao Shuyao did not like marrying Yang Liangao very much, she would not be able to accept such an arrangement.

Wasn't she also treated as a victim in this matter?

But now, things have come to this point and it is irreversible.

Yang Liangao has lost his ability as a man and is dead. Can the three supervisors really help him calm down his anger?

Don't be naive. Yang Liangao just knew that the Gao family was powerful, and he needed the Gao family's help now, so he had to accept this condition.

If he is given the opportunity, he will stab the Gao family sooner or later.

Gao Zhenshou also knew that it was no longer possible for the Gao and Yang families to maintain a true alliance.

Since Gao Shuyao dared to do such a heavy hand to Yang Liangao, it can be seen that she really has no feelings for Yang Liangao and hates him very much. In this case, it doesn't matter if I tell her my plan.

Gao Zhenshou said: "Yao'er, you are now the queen of Daxing Kingdom. Everyone in the world knows this fact and it cannot be changed.

If you continue to act like this, our Gao family will be in trouble."

Gao Shuyao chuckled, but her smile did not reach her eyes, and she was very cold: "But things have become like this, does uncle still want his daughter to return to the palace?
Uncle, do you know what Yang Liangao will do to me? "

Gao Zhenshou said calmly: "Master Vajrabodhi gave my uncle a kind of medicine. After taking it for a period of time, people will become confused and confused, and become a mentally handicapped fool."

Gao Shuyao was shocked and said, "Uncle is saying..."

Gao Zhenshou nodded gently: "Yes, the medicine has been sent to the inner palace. If Yang Liangao had not come here to accompany Yang Yuan, he would have been infected by now."

Gao Shuyao said hesitantly, "So what if he is turned into a fool? Once the civil and military officials in the court and even the Yang family find out, they will never let him continue to sit in that position."

Gao Zhenshou smiled slightly on his skinny face and said, "Yes, but what if Yao'er uses the 'Six Phases of the Concubine Ming' to control him?

A fool is easy to control, just a look is enough."

Gao Shuyao was stunned. She had never thought that such a thing could happen.

He actually wanted to turn the emperor of a country into a fool, and then manipulate the fool to continue occupying the throne.

Gao Zhenshou emphasized his tone and said, "Yang Liangao didn't want the scandal on his wedding night to spread and be laughed at by the world, so he strictly blocked the news about you.

Therefore, after he starts to have mental problems, there will be no problem if you quietly return to the palace and control him.

At that time, they would say that Yang Liangao had a headache and could not attend to government affairs for a long time, so he and the empress attended the government together, just like the story of Li Zhi and Wu Zhao in the Tang Dynasty. "

"Uncle, you...are you crazy?"

Gao Zhenshou's expression became serious: "Does Yao'er have any other solution? Your becoming the queen has already been announced to the world!

Even if you kill him now, you can't change your identity. Where do you want to put yourself and the Gao family?"

Gao Shuyao said angrily: "Then where does uncle put Shuyao? Doesn't Shuyao want to get married?

From now on, you will live with a fool?"

When Gao Zhenshou heard this, his anger turned into joy, he laughed and said, "Yao'er, so you are worried about this? Yao'er, you worry too much.

If even the Emperor of Daxing has become a puppet in your hands, you can take any man you like into the palace and keep him by your side as a eunuch.

It doesn’t matter how many desirable men you like to keep around you.

If the child is born, it will be Yang Liangao's, but we can't let it be known, otherwise it will be very difficult for our Gao family to do it."

Gao Shuyao was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

Who does uncle think I am?
I have only practiced the six phases of Ming Fei, and I was born with charming eyes. Am I such a shameless and wanton woman?

What nonsense is this.

In fact, she also knew that Gao Zhenshou was not humiliating her.

If this rhetoric were directed at a man, it would seem to be nothing.

Gao Zhenshou's mind is full of family, power, and various calculations of interests.

Gao Zhenshou simply viewed her as an heir who could be useful to the family and never considered that she was just a young girl in her prime.

That's why he could say such cold words that were completely based on calculations of personal gain.

In fact, what is truly sad is that in the calculations concerning family interests, Gao Zhenshou treated himself as a pawn, sacrificing everything for the existence and development of the family.

Moreover, he felt that this was very natural and even a little self-touching.

Look at me, how I work so hard and selflessly for my family.

"In your uncle's eyes, I, Gao Shuyao, am just a pawn that can be used by the family, right?

"Okay, I just want one man, I want Yang Yuan, I want to sleep with him! Uncle, please give him to me!"

Gao Zhenshou's reaction was completely beyond Gao Shuyao's expectations.

He was slightly surprised at first, then he patted his forehead lightly, his face full of surprise.

"Oh, it's dark under the lamp, it's dark under the lamp, why didn't I think of it. Yao'er, you are still smart..."

Gao Zhenshou looked at Gao Shuyao with admiration and said with a smile, "This is a good idea. If he is your man and the father of your child, then it would be perfect."

Gao Zhenshou admired and praised.

"Besides, his last name is Yang, so the child doesn't need to change his last name after he's born. Okay, okay, uncle totally agrees.
However, my uncle cannot interfere in matters like this.

While Yang Liangao hasn't been tricked yet, you don't have to go back to the palace for now. You need to work hard during this period.
Uncle believes that with our daughter Yao'er's beauty, she will definitely be able to have a happy marriage with Yang Yuanshuai."

Gao Shuyao was originally trying to be sarcastic and provoke Gao Zhenshou, but she didn't expect Gao Zhenshou to react like this.

For a moment, she was so angry that she was stunned.

Gao Zhenshou clapped his hands in praise, then suddenly said nervously, "Yao'er, you really should control your temper.

If you do the same thing to Yang Fushuai as you did to Yang Liangao, our Gao family will not be able to withstand his wrath."

Gao Shuyao's face turned red and white. She had traveled to many places in the past two years and had a wide range of knowledge.

But she had never heard of such a ridiculous thing in the world.

This is simply unreasonable!
……

Xuzhou, Yibin.

This place was originally called Yibin, but it was changed to Yibin to avoid the name of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

Yibin, Guandou Mountain.

This is a branch of the Kunlun Mountains. The mountain is dotted with pine, camphor, bamboo and other trees, which are very lush.

Meng Qingguo, along with more than twenty soldiers dressed in barbarian style, fled hastily into the woods.

Meng Qingguo was the twelfth son of the Wu family in Lixi and was sent to Xuzhou to intensify the conflict between the three barbarians and the local Han people.

In order to accomplish this task, the Twelve Young Masters also dispatched more than 200 elite Western Army soldiers, who were divided into small groups and sent to Xuzhou, and then gathered under the command of Meng Qingguo.

Sometimes they disguised themselves as Rong people and attacked Han people, and sometimes they disguised themselves as Han people and attacked Rong people.

Every time they took action, their purpose was to drive away the other party, fight for the forest land, and kill.

The brutal means eventually provoked the Three Barbarians of Xuzhou to riot, and brought the killing god Yang Yuan from Jianzhou.

They succeeded and they failed.

They thought that this major riot would be like the one that happened to the salt merchant Wang Xiaobo, and would at least stir up half of Sichuan.

As a result, it was suppressed by Yang Yuan with an iron fist.

And Meng Qingguo, who wanted to "retire after success", could not leave.

They were targeted by a terrifying organization called "Tongzhou".

The people in the same boat stared at them like ghosts. No matter where they fled, before they could even catch their breath, the ghosts of their people in the same boat would appear nearby again.

More than 30 of the 200 elite soldiers of the Western Army were killed in the battle while they were disguising themselves and instigating conflicts between the Han and Rong armies.

The remaining 170 to 180 people were also hunted down one by one like a cat playing with mice during the process of being hunted by "Tongzhou".

Now, it seems that it is time to close the net, because there are more "ghosts" suddenly appearing in the forest than ever before.

Meng Qingguo wanted to commit suicide. He knew that if he lived, the consequences would be more terrible than if he died.

However, just as he raised his knife, he was hit in the neck by a blowpipe.

Then, his whole body went numb, and he fell hard into the thick pine needle ground like a piece of rotten wood.
