From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1234

It was a dark night, and the wind was a little cold.

Ziya pulled his collar, his face gloomy, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Zhou Yuan continued to speak slowly: "It is not easy to accept the truth, because it requires responsibility and a strong heart."

"Huang Taiji chose to accept the truth, so he bore all the infamy and finally found a way for the Jurchens to survive."

"Does Elder Ziya have this responsibility? Find a way for the Black Mountain Sect."

Ziya panted heavily, his forehead was full of sweat, he gritted his teeth and said: "You are attacking the heart! Don't think that what you say is so reasonable, in fact, you are still far from victory, in fact, we have just started the struggle."

"You have limited resources to use, and you can't even kill me!"

"You are afraid that after killing me, the conflict with the Black Mountain Sect can no longer be reconciled, so you can't peacefully recover the Western Regions."

"Zhou Yuan, these words can be used to deceive children, but they are useless for old bones like me."

He seemed to have figured out a lot of things and suddenly laughed.

"What did you really do by coming to the Western Regions? You saved the people from the Inner Court with a little trick, and secretly found me by repairing the plank road. That's all."

"You haven't made any substantial progress at all, but you want to use this superficial advantage to seduce my heart."

"Haha Zhou Yuan, your mouth is really worth a thousand gold. Do you know that there were a few moments just now when I was almost fooled by you."

Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand and said lightly: "I give up."

Ziya was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took a step back, and said: "What tricks are you playing again!"

Zhou Yuan said expressionlessly: "No tricks, I give up, I am willing to let you capture me alive, and let you, the elder of the Black Mountain Sect, become the biggest contributor to this peace talk, how about it?"

Ziya said: "Would you be so kind?"

Zhou Yuan spread his hands and said: "I came to the Western Regions, there are only two ways to go, one is to launch a coup and overthrow the Yarkand regime, The second is peace talks. "

"Don't you just want to capture me alive and then promote peace talks?"

"Come, I'll give you this opportunity."

Ziya sneered: "You must have a conspiracy! But... I won't be wrong to catch you!"

Zhou Yuan said: "I won't put forward any conditions for peace talks. I just want some compensation and compensation. I don't even need you to be a vassal or pay tribute."

Ziya grinned and said: "You are confused!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Isn't this the result you want?"

Speaking of this, he changed the subject and said: "Three years later, I will bring 100,000 cavalry, 10,000 mother-and-child flintlock guns, and 600 falconets to the Western Regions again."

"At that time, there will be no so many intrigues, and the artillery will help me make everything clear."

"Come, catch me, and catch me to enter the three-year countdown."

"Come on! Do it!"

At the end, Zhou Yuan stood up and stretched out his hand to Ziya.

Ziya kept retreating, trembling all over, sweat dripping down his cheeks, he didn't know what to say.

Zhou Yuan glanced at him, then glanced at the people around him, but no one dared to look at him.

Then he sat down, exhaled a breath, and said: "I asked you to choose a path for the Black Mountain Sect, but you didn't go. I asked you to catch me, but you didn't dare."

"Who is confused? You are the real one."

"As the head of a sect, you don't know where your sect should go. Do you want to get through the difficulties in a muddle? Is it that easy!"

"Accepting the truth is not an easy thing, Elder Ziya, it's time to make a choice."

Ziya's whole body was sweaty.

He didn't understand.

He didn't understand why Zhou Yuan had such great magic power. He ran over alone, didn't kill anyone, but just spoke, which could shake people's hearts and make them struggle on the edge of life and death.

His words were more terrible than swords, as if they were imprisoning people's souls.

As a result, Ziya now opened his mouth, wiped his sweat frantically, and didn't know how to choose.

He was not new to the world, but tonight's decision would really affect the entire Western Region.

"I know you can't see some things clearly, about the future and about the heart."

Zhou Yuan looked at him, said calmly: "I'll help you."

"You are from the Western Region. From the perspective of ethnicity, you naturally hope that this place will become better and more prosperous."

"You are the head of the school. From the perspective of religion, you naturally hope that the Black Mountain Sect can have influence and become the mainstream."

"From the perspective of power, you naturally hope that the Yarkand Dynasty is still alive, and it would be best if the royal family led by the Black Mountain Sect controls the Western Region as it is now."

"This is the picture you want to see in your ideal."

ZiyaHe looked at Zhou Yuan in horror and growled, "This place was like this before! If we hadn't attacked the Jin Dynasty, we wouldn't have fallen to this point!"

Zhou Yuan said calmly, "If we hadn't attacked the Jin Dynasty, could Yarkand have risen so quickly? Can you take all the inheritance of the Khoshut tribe? Without the support of the Tsarist Empire, you can't even raise enough military expenses."

"This is all linked together, there is no way out."

"Now I'll tell you the truth. Yarkand will definitely be destroyed. The regime and royal family led by the Black Mountain Sect will no longer exist. This is a foregone conclusion."

"When the power of the Western Regions belongs to the Jin Dynasty, you should think about the problem from a religious perspective. How to make the Black Mountain Sect an influential mainstream?"

"Of course it depends on power."

"You can preach, build temples, and gain corresponding influence only if power allows. Otherwise, it's all empty talk. "

Zhou Yuan looked at Ziya, his eyes gleaming, and said slowly: "From your perspective, facing such a situation, there is only one way to win."

"Whether to choose to live and die with Yarkand and perish together, or to find a new way and bloom another spring...you choose!"

"Which result, I, Zhou Yuan, will accept and bear."

Ziya took a deep look at Zhou Yuan, and then said angrily: "Want to completely change the situation with a few words? Zhou Yuan, you are so naive!"

"Even if I die, I will never betray the court! Betray the royal family!"

"Come on! Capture Zhou Yuan alive! Reward with ten thousand taels of gold!"

All the people around rushed towards Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan laughed wildly, his internal force surged, and he broke through the encirclement with a few ups and downs and entered the darkness.

It was inexplicably quiet here, with only heavy breathing.

Ziya pulled up his clothes with shaking hands, washed his face vigorously, wiped off the sweat, and then let out a long breath.

He stood there, thinking, thinking, and didn't know how long it took before he was awakened by a sudden voice.

"Master! We won!"

Hu Biao strode over and laughed: "The garrison areas of various forces were tightly guarded by us, especially the Baishan Sect, where even birds can't fly in."

"Zhou Yuan didn't do anything all night, I'm afraid he must be very anxious, haha!"

"Master, why don't you say anything?"

Ziya looked at his apprentice, and then thought about the oppression brought by Zhou Yuan just now...

He laughed helplessly, this... how to fight?

How to win?
