Several Qufu cavalry saw that Bu'an had no room to move, and finally "rolled".

As soon as they left, Bu An immediately ordered Monk Huiyuan to run in person and recruit Li Da, Ma Yuanwai and the Dingmin army back to Ningyang County.

Miss Xue suggested that the situation was urgent, so let the ugly aunt fly.

Bu An then remembered that the ugly aunt was an eagle, and no matter how fast Hui Yuan ran, she didn't fly as fast as she - in fact, he subconsciously regarded Miss Xue as half an outsider, and only felt that the ugly aunt was her maid, not his subordinate.

The ugly girl walked out of the inn in the night, and in a short time an eagle rose into the sky.

Everyone in the Seven Divisions looked surprised, and they all held their breath and stared, but Su Su secretly made up her mind: to catch a few flat-haired beasts when she goes back, and enrich her baggage team, otherwise Gongzi will rely more and more on Miss Xue in the future.

Bu'an drove for three days in a row, and when he was in a good mood before, he didn't feel anything, but now he heard the bad news, and the feeling of fatigue came surgingly.

Outside the inn, from time to time, people heard that Bu Ye returned to the city and came to see him with local products.

Bu An was not interested in going to see him, so he only asked Zhang Blind to help block it, and went into the house by himself, leaning on the head of the bed with his clothes closed, closing his eyes, and considering countermeasures.

He had already guessed that he had dug the pit for himself.

Song Shijin was ordered by him, and he must go back to tell Song Yinting that the so-called plan to divert the tiger from the mountain is a suspicious strategy, and Zhang Chengtao must have a backhand - but they didn't expect that they came to the conclusion that Zhang Chengtao would collude with the Moon Worship Cult to set up a trap to attack the Qufu army.

The conclusion may seem wonderful, but it misses out on the most important factor.

To solve this game, it is like a delicate logic problem. What Song Yinting missed happened to be several hidden factors in the title of this question:

First, the old god behind the Moon Worship Cult is an extremely smart guy, otherwise it would be impossible for the Moon Worship Cult to occupy half of the Qimin Dao in such a short period of time.

This person's grasp of people's hearts and judgment of timing are even above Bu'an.

And Bu An was able to occupy Jianzhou Mansion and Yanping Mansion, in addition to coincidentally catching the two Neiying, but also because he had ready-made experience in later generations that could be applied.

Second, Zhang Chengtao ordered Zhangzhou Xuan to ride into the mountain, which is enough to prove that he is not the old god, even if there is a secret collusion between the two, it is only a cooperative relationship at best. It is more likely that Zhang Chengtao was used.

The reason is simple.

If Zhang Chengtao was the old god, then he should have noticed it from the moment Bu'an raised troops in Ningyang County—because the number of believers has decreased. He would either pretend to be ignorant and find another solution, or he would have killed the killer at that time, and he would not have just reacted after Bu'an arrived in Wurong County.

The reason why Zhang Chengtao is in collusion with the old god is that most likely he was used. It was also based on a similar reason: after the old god noticed the decrease in believers, he did not inform Zhang Chengtao as soon as possible.

Third, before Bu'an came, the situation on the Qimin Road was a clever balance, the Moon Worship Cult, Song Yinting, and Zhang Chengtao were restricting each other, and no one could help anyone.

Song did not exert all his strength to exterminate the Lunatic Cult because, in Song's view, Zhang's Yellow Sparrow was behind, Zhang did not have the motivation to suppress the Lunatic Cult, and the reason may be more complicated, and the Lunatic Cult did not have the momentum of expansion, so the reason is worth savoring.

You must know that the Moon Worship Cult has the ability to expand, even if it does not go to Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, it can go west towards Jiangnan West Road, or further south towards Lingnan Road.

But it didn't.

Why?

To answer this question, we have to go back to the first hidden condition: the old god behind the Lunatic cult is very smart.

Therefore, he should know that the extent to which this cult has developed is tolerable to the Great Liang Imperial Court, and once it exceeds the threshold, it will become a serious problem for the imperial court, and it will definitely be exterminated by the power of the whole country.

Even the East China Sea Nuwa clan didn't dare to return to Shenzhou, how could he dare to test the bottom line of the Great Liang Dynasty with a small role.

As long as you look at these three implicit conditions, this problem is not difficult to solve.

In short, the old god behind the Moon Worship Cult is very cunning and not greedy, what he wants is not the entire Qimin Dao, but only a temporary balance.

Now, Song Yinting and Zhang Chengtao are fighting, if you look at it from the perspective of the old god, you only need to consider one point: who of the two will give him a new and still acceptable balance?

Bu'an has already made clear the conditions for Song Yinting: Tingzhou and Jianzhou.

Since that old god was smart enough, he should know what Song Yinting's purpose was in coming to Qimin Dao.

That being the case, a re-established balance is in the interest of both sides. Because either side gets rid of the other, it will face great pressure from the imperial court.

And Bu'an will replace Zhang Chengtao and act as a weak third party.

This is a chess game set up by Bu An on the Qimin Road, and the guy behind the Moon Worship Cult, if he is smart enough, should understand this chess game and be happy to accept it—because he can also develop a little bit to Jiangnan West Road and Lingnan Road, keeping the number of believers roughly the same.

But Song Yinting obviously didn't understand, Song Shijin's rank was too low, not to mention.

As for what Zhang Chengtao's backhand is, Bu An knows too little about him to draw conclusions.

It's just that of all these inferences, he is only worried about one point.

A point that may not be advantageous from Zhang Chengtao's point of view, but it is almost all beneficial to the Moon Worship Cult, and it is enough to break the game.

That is to force Song Yin Ting to rebel!

If the Song family reverses at this point in time, the battlefield will not be Qimin Road, but Jiangnan East Road. First, the political envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao was Kong Haoyan from Qufu Academy, and the Song Guogong Mansion was also in Jiangnan Dongdao; second, Jiangnan Dongdao was rich enough to raise soldiers; and third, it was necessary to guard the Yangtze River in order to block the imperial army moving south.

And at that time, the Moon Worship Cult will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman, hide behind the barrier of the Song family, and swallow the Qimin Dao, Lingnan Dao, and even Jiangnan West Dao in one fell swoop.

If the Moon Worship Cult can really do this, Zhang Chengtao may not have good fruits to eat, but for Bu'an, the pros and cons are mixed, and even the pros outweigh the disadvantages.

When Song Yinting went north to Jiangnan Dongdao, Bu An could justifiably stay in the south, deal with the Moon Worship Cult, and gain more room for development - even if the Song family was defeated in the future, he would be equally meritorious in killing the Moon Worship Cult.

Thinking of this, Bu An shook his head, and said in his heart that he should worry about Zhangzhou Xuanqi first, helping Song Yinting to this step is already the limit, and he will ask for more blessings.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and "Do-do" rang three times, followed by Qingshan's voice: "Has Bu Ye slept?"

In front of outsiders, Qingshan still used his previous name, and only called him "Childe" when the two of them were alone.

Bu An pulled his clothes, thinking about whether he should take them off, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly-there was no name of Miss Song Manqiu on this robe, and he was a thief.

"No, come in. He shouted softly.
