With the support of the two of them, Li Quancheng sat in a pavilion halfway up the mountain. Only then did he realize that Li Quancheng's whole body was shaking. Even Bai Yi couldn't help being surprised and said, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Damn, I'm so nervous..." Li Quancheng breathed a long sigh of relief and cursed with a smile: "You know, we just walked around the gate of hell!"
Baiyi's expression changed and he said, "Did Kublai Khan come with his troops?"
"There are at least ten siege crossbows hidden on the top of both sides of the mountain!"
Thinking of the birds hovering over the top of the mountain and Kublai Khan knocking on the railing more than once, Li Quancheng knew that Kublai Khan had set an ambush, so he had no choice but to stay close to Kublai Khan and never leave. In the end, there was no other way, so Li Quancheng had to take the risk.
The matter of moving to Ryukyu was sold to Kublai Khan. When he told the news, Kublai Khan's hand suddenly stopped and he never knocked it again!
"That's why you reached this agreement with Kublai Khan!"
Bai Yi suddenly understood, but was a little worried, and said: "Aren't you really afraid that this agreement will leave you with eternal infamy?"
Li Quancheng was silent for a while, still avoiding talking, but said: "You know the real situation best. Even if there was no Kublai Khan, I would still keep the imperial court in Fu'an and Quanzhou. This plan is my hard work. I am not the kind of person who is
When people sell, they still have to help the person counting their money!"
"You know the properties of the two are different!"
The man in white clothes was unyielding, staring at Li Quancheng, and said solemnly: "You restrained the Song Dynasty court in Fu'an, and you made a deal with Kublai Khan and restrained the court in Fuzhou. The two are different. The former is just a matter of history.
Some people hold the emperor hostage to order the princes. No matter how bad your reputation is, at most you are not a traitor, but the latter!"
Bai Yi took a deep breath and said: "The latter is a traitor who regards thieves as his father!"
Li Quancheng was shaken and couldn't help but think of Wang Jingwei's grandson. Then he shook his head and said seriously: "It's different. What senior brother said is all based on the premise that I have selfishness and ambition, but I don't
There is no selfishness or ambition!"
"But who believes it?"
Bai Yi suppressed his voice and shouted, "Who will believe that you have no selfish motives?"
"Senior brother, do you believe it?"
Bai Yi was silent for a while and said: "I want to believe it, but intellectually, I don't believe it either!"
"Think about it, even I won't believe it rationally, let alone other people!" Bai Yi looked at Li Quancheng with some pity and said: "Junior brother, now it is different from what you planned at the beginning. Now we have three pillars.
You are the weakest and most disadvantaged party!"
"Senior brother, are you trying to persuade me to give up?"
"no!"
"Senior brother, tell me what to do?"
"I don't know!"
Bai Yi answered simply. After hesitating for a while, Bai Yi said slowly: "I just want to remind you. I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds!"
"Senior brother, you are flattering me. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. The development of the situation was not in our plan. Who the hell knew that Queen Mother Xie would suddenly do something like this? Who knew that Lu Xiufu would do this?
Switching sides at the last minute? I didn't expect it, and I didn't know what the best way to do it, but I knew that I had to take measures. I can't play politics with those people, so once they get to Ryukyu first, this country will still be there.
It would be a country that is rotten to the core! It’s just that the capital has been changed, but the court is still the same court, there is still an emperor in the court, there are still those officials in the court, and the people are still the lowest group, so what I have been fighting for
This undertaking will mean nothing to me and will be nothing more than a joke!"
Li Quancheng sneered and said: "If I betray my career in order to be enshrined on the altar by future generations and praised as the "Eternal Loyalty and Bright Moon King of the Song Dynasty", I would rather take the risk. Even if I succeed in the end, I will still be beaten.
Falling into dust and being stepped into the mud, I am also willing to rot in the mud with a smile!”….
Li Quancheng never thought that he could say such great words. In fact, he doesn't know now which system he can lead his comrades around him to after arriving in Ryukyu, but he knows that what he wants
The system of choice will definitely not be the emperor.

On the new pavilion, Kublai Khan was still standing by the railing, overlooking the Jiangnan plain. However, as dusk fell, he could no longer see clearly. However, Kublai Khan seemed to have no intention of leaving. At this time, there was already an additional person in the pavilion.
Man, a young man.
"Bohan, I didn't kill him, you won't blame me!"
The young man smiled and said, "Bohan doesn't dare, and Bohan has to ask the Great Khan to forgive me."
"What are you guilty of?"
"When Li Quancheng said those three reasons, Bohan had already ordered the Golden Sword Guard Battalion to unload the crossbows!"
"Oh?" Kublai Khan raised his eyebrows and said, "Did his three ridiculous reasons convince you?"
"Bohan knows that those are just his words to protect himself, but in the long run, what he said is extremely reasonable. He is a person with a long-term vision. Coupled with his relationship with the princess, I am very willing that he can serve the great people.
Work hard!"
Bohan said sincerely: "The Han people have a saying that it is easy to win the world, but difficult to defend the world, and even more difficult to govern the world. Li Quancheng is a rare talent, and we need such talents in the future of Yuan Dynasty!"
Kublai Khan sighed deeply and said: "Boyan Anda has a son like you. It is his blessing, this Khan's blessing, and my great Yuan's blessing!"
Bo Han gave a slight salute and said: "The great Khan is so complimentary!"
"Bohan, there is something I don't understand about Ben Khan!"
Kublai Khan suddenly said seriously: "Why did Li Quancheng make this deal with Ben Khan?"
Bohan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Back to the Great Khan, I can't see through this person's plan, but I can guess a thing or two. Li Quancheng may want to use the hands of the Great Khan to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.
, he can support his own troops and build a country in Ryukyu!"
"Are you saying that he was unwilling to accept the founding of the Ryukyu Kingdom as a wedding dress for the Song Dynasty?"
Kublai Khan shook his head and said: "Even if that's the case, why would he come to Jiankang Mansion in person instead of sitting in Lin'an City? I think with his methods, it is not difficult to cover the sky with one hand in the Song Dynasty court!
"
"This is why I can't understand him!"
"Then do you think Li Quancheng's promise to "send people to block the Song Dynasty court in Fu'an Mansion" is credible?"
"I believe he will do this!"
This time Bonham said it categorically.
"He is eager to withdraw from Jiankang this time because he wants to rush back to Fu'an or Quanzhou as soon as possible. However, if he is faster than us, then he will definitely not fulfill his promise, because he can tie up the imperial court and go to sea.
The Han people pay attention to orthodox status, and Li Quancheng wants to stand on his own feet, so it will be much more convenient to tie up the Zhao family, so he will definitely send people to block the Song Dynasty court and prevent them from crossing the sea, but he will not wait for us!"
"In other words, Ben Khan cannot let him rush back smoothly!"
"The Great Khan is wise, we can follow closely behind him, and when he loses his composure, we can take advantage of him and cut off half of his strength, so that he can be on par with the power of the Song Dynasty court. Maybe we can enjoy the success!"
"When my father was attacking the Song Dynasty, he had been studying the Han people and their dynasties, and discovered a very interesting phenomenon!"
"oh?"
Kublai Khan became interested, turned around and pulled Bonham to sit on the stone chair, saying: "Sit down and talk."
"Thank you Khan!"
Bonham was humble and polite, but not pretentious. After Kublai Khan sat down, he also did it openly.
"Once the emperor of the Han people conquered the world, he thought that he was the son of God, and he thought that his descendants would be emperors from generation to generation. My father said that throughout the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, the royal family was an extremely selfish group. Just like
Like coyotes, they just want to eat enough and want to bite some food to eat later.”….
"The Han people have some particularly interesting sayings. One is "The cunning rabbit dies, the running dogs are cooked, the flying birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden." There is also a saying called "High achievements shake the master." Once there are forces within them that can threaten their status.
When the time comes, we must first eliminate this force. Please know that this is the source of the disaster!"
Bohan said with a gentle smile: "Li Quancheng is now the leader of the Song Dynasty! Once he sends troops to put the Song Dynasty royal family and officials under house arrest, it will not only be the leader of the Song Dynasty but also the evil plot. How can the Song Dynasty court just let it go?
?”
Kublai Khan was silent for a while and said solemnly: "Bohan, are you trying to persuade Ben Khan?"
Bohan's expression remained unchanged, but he quickly stood up and said, "I don't dare!"
Kublai Khan burst out laughing, pointed at Bonhan and said, "You little guy, you are much smarter than your father!"
"but···"
Kublai Khan slowly suppressed his smile and said: "But Boyan Anda's is a great wisdom, and yours is a little clever!"
After hearing these words, Bohan's expression suddenly changed. He knelt down quickly and said in panic: "Please forgive me, Khan!"
"You just imitate the Han people too much, and your stomach is full of gossip!"
Kublai Khan snorted coldly and shouted: "Get up, the Han people are very deceitful. I hope you learn how to govern the country, not the art of deceit and manipulation of power!"
"Please remember this!"
"But I will also remember your words, and I will definitely not do anything to disgrace the hero!"
"I am terrified!"
"Get up, sit down!"
"Thank you Khan!"
Bonham stood up and sat down carefully, but he did not dare to speak again.
Kublai Khan reminded: "The Song Dynasty court will not yield to Li Quancheng's intimidation, so in your opinion, what will they do?"
Bohan bit the bullet and said: "The Han people have a saying that 'to fight against foreigners, you must first settle the domestic affairs.' But if Li Quancheng had long planned to establish his own country in Ryukyu, then Fu'an, Quanzhou and other places must be his main sphere of influence. I think,
Even if the Song Dynasty court wanted to deal with Li Quancheng, it would have to be something outside of Li Quancheng’s sphere of influence!"
Kublai Khan's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "I know this. You send people to find the princess and protect her secretly."
After a pause, Kublai Khan sighed softly and said: "Let her go wherever she wants!
