Chapter 460: On the Lotus Peak in Cangzhou

The Qi Palace is located in Cangzhou City in Cangzhou. When Gu Qingci set foot in this city, his feeling was only dull. At that time, the Qi King Su Zhao had been pretending to be crazy and stupid all his life, facing the people of the world with a playboy-minded face, making the city chaotic and the people were in vain.

Gu Qingci was unwilling to talk about the current Xia Emperor, so he could not say whether Su Zhui was right or wrong. However, if he had changed his position in the same situation as Su Zhui, he could only do this. Only a royal family in the previous dynasty who had no ambitions and had no successors could reassure the emperor of the dynasty.

"It's just a pity," Gu Qingci sighed: "Su Zhui has been born in the wrong era and has also born in the right era. It's rare to be confused. Why don't you keep being confused?"

Through Su Zhui being able to gather hundreds of thousands of troops in such a short time and completely control the entire Cangzhou in his hands, it is not difficult to see that this is a talented and strategic person, and every step is calculated very clearly. However, he met another talented and strategic person who has the advantage of time, place, and people, and his failure is destined.

On the Lotus Peak, Gu Qingci met the only king of the opposite sex in Xia Kingdom. He was a very ordinary middle-aged man. He was not the legendary appearance of being hollowed out by wine, but he did not have the power to swallow mountains and rivers. He was a middle-aged Su Beisheng with a bit haggard eyebrows and gray hair.

"Head of the Su family!" Gu Qingci said with rituals.

From Su Zhui, Gu Qingci felt no hatred or resentment.

Su Zhui seemed to see Gu Qingci's surprise and said, "Mr. Gu, don't worry too much. Although my Su family was a royal family in the previous dynasty and had been cultivated for a hundred years, it has not made much progress. Everything is under the control of the current saint. In the name of your sword immortal, you can come and go freely in my Lotus Peak."

Gu Qingci didn't say anything.

Su Zhui continued, "I have no resentment towards you. Success, king, defeat, and enemy is common. Besides, this rebellion, anyone with a discerning eye can see that I am doomed to fail. As for my child and ancestor, I just lost. Although I have given my life, the people of my Su family can still afford to lose."

Gu Qingci bowed and said, "The Su family leader is noble."

Su Zhui reached out and asked Gu Qingci to sit down, poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingci, and said, "This time, I have no choice. My Su family is too involved with Buddhism. When Zhao founded the country, it was a Buddhist. Later, my Su family was able to keep it, and it also had the grace of Buddhism."

"But this kindness is too great, and it has also caused my Su family to be too constrained and cannot be separated from it. Speaking of which, it is also my treason that I have been betrayal of faith. Since my ancestors, my Su family has always been favored by Buddhism. I also had vows first. This time, this century-old catastrophe, the Su family should repay the favor, but the Su family has produced me, a rare and confused person."

"I betrayed my faith, which forced the Buddhists to force me to force me, making me unable to help myself. This farce was also destined, and of course, it must have failed."

Gu Qingci also heard about the grudges between the Su family and the Buddhist sect, and it was indeed deeply involved. Otherwise, the Buddhist sect would not have supported Su Beisheng so much, because Su Zhui, the contemporary head of the Su family, had already parted ways with the Buddhist sect, so they needed to change a partner, and Su Beisheng was the most suitable. Just so happened that Su Beisheng also needed the help of Buddhism.

However, Gu Qingci was not very interested in these grievances, so he said, "Head Su, things have come to this point, and it is useless to say more. I am just curious. Why do you come to me?"

Su Zhui smiled and said, "I want to make a deal with Mr. Gu."

"What transaction?" Gu Qingci asked.

Su Zhui sighed and said, "My Su family is destined to be exterminated. However, some of my people are uneasy and unwilling to die with me. My Su family owe them too much."

Gu Qingci was silent. He had already guessed who Su Zhui was talking about.

As the royal family of the previous dynasty, there were a group of loyal people, and there were descendants of the world over the years. For example, on the battlefield in Cangzhou, Zhuge Xiu, the first marshal of the rebels, was a descendant of the Zhuge family in the previous dynasty. On this battlefield in Cangzhou, he was able to stand against the trend completely. Even the old Marshal Chu Zixu praised him, saying that this person was a pity that the right time, place and people did not occupy the same kind of people. Otherwise, the battlefield in Cangzhou would not be so easy.

When Su Zhui saw Gu Qingci's expression, he understood that Gu Qingci knew these situations and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I won't make you too embarrassed, and it's not to let you protect your clan members."

"Since I started to fall out with Buddhism, I had already anticipated this situation today, so I have transferred all the tribes of the four major ministers of the Su family. Although I am still in Cangzhou, I am not in Cangzhou City. The marquis doesn't need to do much. I just need to give them a place to live in the black domain. After all, when Cangzhou City is broken, the world is so big that they will probably have no place to stand."

Gu Qingci pondered for a while and asked, "Who are they?"

Su Zhui said: "In addition to the elderly, weak, women and children, they are also disabled or children. I have put them in a village. Over the years, they have been accustomed to the life of ordinary people. If the Marquis promised to give them a foothold, I promise they will not disturb you. In addition, I also promise that without the Su family, if there is a Su family, they will not be able to survive."

Gu Qingci asked again: "But there is something unknown below. Although there are not many things in the world that can help the head of Su family, there are still some. As for me, although the head of Su family is generous and has no resentment towards me, he is not an enemy, but he is also an enemy. Why do you want to find me?"

Su Zhui smiled slightly and said, "There are indeed many people who can have this strength, but Gu Qingci only has one. How can I rest assured about the rest of the world? In addition, in terms of the territory alone, is there no suitable place for them to survive than the Black Domain, a place where the Three Kingdoms do not interfere?"

Gu Qingci pondered for a while and said, "I can agree to the request from the head of the Su family, but I need to go and read it myself to confirm."

"This is natural." Su Zhui breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Then I wonder what the head of the Su family is going to exchange it with you?" Gu Qingci asked.

Su Zhui said lightly: "I know the Marquis is planning for your brother, so the first exchange is that this battlefield in Cangzhou will be opened for him. Of course, this is just the icing on the cake."

"Second, I have a battle formation map. Of course, although the battle formation is very rare, if it is just a battle formation, I think there must be one, but my battle formation also has a matching armor, the legendary Tiefutu that is invincible in the world!"
