Chapter 88 (1/2)
The royal residence is well guarded, but no one can find hualanting under the cover of trees and pavilions. After a round trip, he finally saw the fifth prince in a waterside pavilion. The waterside pavilion faces the water on three sides, and the environment is very quiet. The fifth Prince is drinking alone, surrounded by several servant girls and guards.
Hua Lanting appeared in the dark, walked over and said, ”the fifth prince, you're all right. How have you always been?”
”Who? Dare to break into the palace at night!” the bodyguard next to him immediately responded, and Cang clanked and put out his saber to surround him.
The fifth prince was also surprised and stood up. When he saw the face of hualanting clearly, he waved his hand to let the bodyguard and servant girl retreat to the distance. He said in a deep voice, ”it was eunuch who arrived. Why didn't someone report it, but Xiao Wang was frightened.”
Hua Lanting sat directly opposite the fifth Prince and said, ”I met the prince by chance. I'm like a sea of Houmen. I'm afraid I can't get into the palace through communication, so I'll come directly to see him. Won't the prince blame me?”
Emperor Wenlan's surname was song, and the fifth Prince's name was Hong Shi. At this time, he also made up his mind and said with a smile, ”what did you and I say? Although you and I have only met for a short time, Hong Shi was saved by Duke en. Now, if it wasn't for Duke en's action, the consequences of that day would be unimaginable. Duke en was on the table and was saluted by Xiao Wang.” he bowed at the next table.
Hua Lanting stretched out his hand and said, ”you don't have to be polite. You have great blessings. I'm just at the right time. I don't know if the LORD went well later?”
Hong Shi replied, ”although I was poisoned and nearly comatose that day, I listened to the answers of eunuch and that generation. Later, I woke up after a night's sleep. I took the main medicine. That generation has been absolutely obedient to my words since then. I can command with my mind, without interfering with her normal mind.”
”This medicine is really effective, but it's really vicious. Without my grace, I would be controlled by the Japanese. It's terrible to think about it carefully. It's OK for me to say, but if they take advantage of my power in the army, it's really impossible to prevent disaster and cultural beauty.”
Hua Lanting listened and asked, ”is there any reaction to the poison in the Lord?”
Hong Shi said, ”it's OK. I just fall asleep every few days and can't ask questions. Can eunuch find Daizi's brother and get the antidote?”
Hua Lanting nodded and told Gao Daqiang what happened on Sanqing mountain and on the way.
Hong Shi's face was dignified: ”Japan has coveted eastern land for a long time, and has long infiltrated the layout, including the other three dynasties. I know a lot of their secrets from Dai Zi. Their sinister heart is really a big trouble in my dynasty.”
After a pause, the fifth prince saw that Hua Lanting didn't immediately take the initiative to give the antidote. He was also a person with clear mind. On second thoughts, he simply asked, ”Hong Shi doesn't know your name, so why do you come? You have great kindness with me and me, but you have something to ask. As long as Wen Lan is not hindered, Hong Shi will obey his orders.”
Hua Lanting stared into Hong Shi's eyes and said slowly, ”my name is Hua Lanting. As for my identity, it's inconvenient to say it at this time because of my difficulties. The Lord only knows one thing, that is, Japan is our common enemy. On this point, our interests are the same. That's enough.”
Seeing the color of hesitation and vigilance in the eyes of the fifth prince, Hua Lanting said: ”you and I have no deep friendship. It is normal for the Lord to have doubts. I see people's hearts for a long time. Now I want to know what the Lord wants to do with his son?”
Hong Shi thought and answered, ”naturally, she used her intelligence to gradually remove the nail Eyeliner planted by Dong Ying, and destroyed their arrangement for many years.”
Hua Lanting asked, ”of course, this is a festival. In addition, the destruction of the Japanese samurai regiment in my hands also has an impact on their plans, but this is not enough. Has the Lord thought about how to solve their attack on wenlianhai and the invasion of the ready army? This is the key point, won't the Lord know?”
The fifth Prince looked at Hua Lanting with burning eyes: ”what eunuch said is right. Only by defeating the army that Japan has been preparing for for many years and has been gathering through the national war can we solve the problem once and for all. But I think eunuch also knows that Wenlan Dynasty is keen to open up the border and crack the soil to the West and does not regard Japan as a heart disease. My strength alone is not enough to change their ideas.”
Hua Lanting realized that he was not a person who worked in politics, so he had been thinking about how to achieve his goal in the East, but he had no good strategy. Until he met the fifth prince by chance, he thought that the only opportunity was to support the fifth prince to ascend, so that Wen Lan could focus on solving the Japanese problems in the East, so he was not willing or able to take into account the war with the dust Dynasty for the time being.
As for the future competition between the two countries and the four dynasties, because he will return to his world sooner or later, it is not within the scope of his focus.
After listening to the words of the fifth prince, Hua Lanting smiled and said, ”in that case, the prince should strengthen his own strength and influence the Korean Bureau, so that they can take dealing with Japanese pirates as the current national policy.”
After hearing this, the fifth Prince jumped in his heart and suddenly opened his eyes to Hua Lanting: ”what does eunuch mean? Eunuch wants to intervene in my Wenlian political affairs? Who are you? Eunuch has a personal favor with me, but when it comes to state affairs, Shu Hongshi can't agree.”
