Qi Zu saw that the little emperor was relaxed, and his words became brisk.

Then he said: "If the minister guesses well, the minister should have been listed on the crusade list before His Majesty's decree, the reason is that the minister sits on Yunze City, the richest city in the Qianguo, and the minister happens to be the old department of Ao Guang, Your Majesty feels that the minister is definitely not His Majesty's faction, so he wants to encircle and suppress, and if the guess is good, the army of the national capital should have been dispatched, just wait for His Majesty's order, and then start attacking the city." ”

"That's right, you're smart, so smart that I don't want to kill you. Lin Hao sat up, crossed his legs, and said to Qi Zu with a smile.

"Your Majesty is not in a hurry to make a judgment, and listen to the minister, although the minister is Ao Guang's old department, but the minister is also dissatisfied with Ao Guang's lack of court, more and more arrogant, and Ao Guang has more and more differences, helpless Chen is his deputy general, if he treats me badly, it will chill those generals who follow him, so he put me in Yunze City, Ming Sheng and secretly descended. ”

Lin Hao was a little surprised, is there such a past, but thinking about it, Cheng Zhou has not been in the palace for a long time, and he can't even find out the news about Qi Zu's true strength, let alone something so far ago, which makes sense.

"So, are you a loyal minister?" Lin Hao said lightly.

"Loyalty or disloyalty, not all depends on Your Majesty's words, and the minister also wants to take this opportunity to return to the national capital and serve the country, so he staged such a play to praise His Majesty. Qi Zu shook his head and said, as if he was a little helpless.

Lin Hao got up at this time to help Qi Zu, retracted the casual look just now, and said to Qi Zu with a straight face: "I didn't expect the city lord of Qi to have such a mind, now that I think about it, my previous judgment of the city lord is really a bit of a villain's heart." ”

Although Lin Hao didn't know if Qi Zu's true thoughts were like this, this person was really terrifying, he could see things so thoroughly, and even think of countermeasures one step ahead of him, Lin Hao couldn't be completely sure that Qi Zu was loyal.

But in the current situation, it is the best result to be able to recover Yunze City without bloodshed, so that it will have more energy to deal with the other three forces.

Although the minister showed his loyalty, the minister thought that it was better for the two armies to fight. Qi Zu changed his words and said.

Lin Hao asked suspiciously, "Why? ”

Qi Zu explained: "When the time comes, the two armies will fight, and they can't really fight, Your Majesty will lead the army to fight and retreat, creating the appearance of being defeated by Yunze City, so as to confuse the other three forces, it is best to lure the snake out of the hole, let's have another praying mantis to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind, and the sky will send a surprise soldier." ”

After hearing this, Lin Hao couldn't help but admire Qi Zu, and while the enemy was still unclear about the situation, he hid his strength to the greatest extent, which was really the best strategy.

"What the City Lord of Qi said is very right, and I also admire it to the fullest, when the other three cities are suppressed, you will return to the capital with me, and I will definitely reuse you. Lin Hao said excitedly.

Qi Zu knelt down and bowed down and said, "Minister, thank you!"

"Let's go back to the battle situation, in fact, there is only one enemy we still need to face, that is the Wang brothers, Your Majesty doesn't know, although Tuhe City is also disobedient to control, but it is actually divided into two factions, one is the split faction led by Shan Yuxu, and the other is the main and faction led by his brother Shan Yufei. ”

"With the strength of the ministers, it is not difficult to eradicate Shan Yuxu, as long as Your Majesty pretends to be defeated in battle, the Wang brothers will lead the troops to attack, and when the time comes, take the 30,000 soldiers of Yunze City and the army of the national capital to wipe them out together, so that the Qianguo can return to stability. ”

Qi Zu said heavily, it can be seen that his heart really hopes that Qianguo will be stable and can become rich and strong again.

After hearing this, Lin Hao immediately agreed to Qi Zu's approach, and sent a signal to Cheng Zhou to start going to Yunze City, and went to take over the army himself, because this matter is very important, and only Lin Hao can rest assured that he will not leak the news.

"Take care of the city lord of Qi, I will go to pick up the troops and prepare for acting. Lin Hao got up and was about to leave with Xiao Linzi.

Seeing this, Qi Zu bowed and watched Lin Hao and the others go away.

Seeing Lin Hao walking away, Shen Dingcai respectfully said to Qi Zu: "The city lord has pressed the future on the little emperor, have you really thought about it, according to the city lord's opinion, how about the little emperor?"

Qi Zu still looked in the direction of Lin Hao with respectful eyes, and replied: "The lord of the country can think of such a plan at a young age, and there is indeed no recklessness among his peers, this is also to meet me who knows the current affairs, if it is other city lords, I am afraid that he has already died on the spot, and he is a late stage of cultivation in the Xuan Realm, and his future is immeasurable." ”

On the way out of the city, Xiao Linzi asked Lin Hao: "Your Majesty, can you believe this person's words, and what if he is also a snob." ”

Lin Hao still looked forward, his footsteps didn't stop, and he thought for a while and said: "Even if he is not sincere, he can only accept it now, in order to quickly stabilize the national situation, he can't care so much, and this person obviously has a better choice, with the strength of Yunze City, it is not difficult to rebel, and his strength is not below me, since he chose to surrender, I think it should be sincere." ”

Of course, what I hope for the most must be sincere, after all, this kind of person is the enemy, whether it is in terms of strength or scheming, Lin Hao feels that it is difficult to defeat.

The two walked for about a long time, and finally saw the capital army led by Cheng Zhou, and hurried over to meet it.

"Cheng Zhou, pass the order, the general army secretly withdraw to the national capital, remember, you have to hurry at night, no one will find out, and the rest of the people will go with me to attack the city after resting, everyone, if you can't fight, you will retreat, don't risk your life!" Lin Hao said to Cheng Zhou and the soldiers.

Cheng asked in disbelief as he didn't know what was going on.

"Your Majesty, did the assassination attempt fail, and why did you withdraw from the army?"

Lin Hao pulled Cheng Zhou to a place where there was no one, and told Cheng Zhou in detail about his experience in the past few days from beginning to end.

"Qi Zu is actually already a cultivator in the realm of the earth, and he actually surrendered, God bless my Great Qianhou Country, this is God to help His Majesty rectify the Qianguo!" Cheng Zhou said excitedly.

Lin Hao then motioned to Cheng Zhou to make a small voice, be vigilant not to be heard, and said slowly: "Yes, how did you think that it could go so smoothly, you and Xiao Linzi with the retreating army, after you go back, you should not know anything, just tell Qian Lao about this matter, keep an eye on the movements of the Wang brothers in the west, and report to me if there is a slight action, and I will rush back in a few days." ”

"Yes, the last will not be dishonored. Cheng Zhou couldn't calm down his excited heart, and said with his fists clenched.

About an hour later, Lin Hao looked at Yunze City and said slowly: "Soldiers, follow me to attack the city!"

In an instant, thousands of soldiers rushed out of the dense forest.
