When Gu Daoyuan was talking to himself, Zhu Lihua didn't say anything, but only sighed slightly after Gu Daoyuan finished speaking.

"Master Gu, I seem to have found some clues.

Last night, I heard Li Hao say that Miss Xin'er was begged by Lord Xiangbang from Duke Shu, and at that time, Duke Shu had just suffered from a serious illness and was already terminally ill.

And Gongziye was just assassinated last night, and after Liu Xiangbang lost the biggest card in his hand, Xin'er was taken away again.

Could this be a coincidence? ”

"Nephew Xian is saying that Xin'er was taken away by Gongzi Tu?" Gu Daoyuan immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Lihua's words, and then hurriedly asked.

And Zhu Lihua shook his head slightly again and said to him:

"No, it doesn't have to be Gongzi Tu, maybe there are others.

Lord Zaizuka thinks about it, when the Duke of Shu is not sick, the most powerful person in Shu is naturally the Duke of Shu.

And when Shu Gong was terminally ill, Liu Xiangbang thought he was the leader among all forces.

Now that Liu Xiangbang's strength has been greatly damaged, who will be next? ”

Zhu Lihua frowned and thought, while Gu Daoyuan asked strangely, "Then it should be Gongzi Tu Cai." ”

Zhu Lihua shook his head, and a fierce face appeared in his mind, but he seemed to be a very elegant person in conversation, and then said: "Uncle, don't forget, there is still a force in this Shu Kingdom, perhaps in the eyes of some people, it is more powerful than Gongzi Tu." ”

"Nanhou Lu Xun?"

Gu Daoyuan's eyes lit up, and after blurting out the words, he saw Yu Lihua nodding lightly.

"Nanhou Lu Xun has lived in Lingnan for generations.

And by the Yuecheng Ridge, Du Pang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge, Da Yu Ridge five mountains composed of the South Ridge, and cut off all the roads leading to Lingnan in Shu.

Nanhou has guarded the southern border of Shu for generations, guarding all the roads in the five mountains, and at the same time sitting on the nine counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Dan'er, and Zhuya, and his strength will not be weak.

And just by looking at the number of counties controlled by Nanhou, we know that the territory under his control is by no means inferior to that of Shu itself.

And although Nanhou only has an establishment of 50,000 soldiers and horses, who can really know whether Nanhou's soldiers and horses have exceeded these 50,000 after so many years.

What's more, as long as Nanhou raises his arms and shouts, even if the number of people in the nine counties is small, there must be many people who join the army.

This does not include those Baiyue tribes who surrendered to Nanhou, if they were determined to die for Nanhou, it would definitely be a force to be reckoned with.

Therefore, if the Divine Monarch felt that this Lu Xun's strength was still above Gongzi Tu, it would not be an unexpected move.

Moreover, now that Nanhou happens to be in the Nanhou Mansion in Yidu City, if the Divine Monarch wants to get rid of or weaken Nanhou's power, then it will be twice the result with half the effort to take advantage of the fact that Nanhou has not returned to Lingnan now

......”

Gu Daoyuan listened to Lihua's narration while lightly wiping his beard, while thinking about the judgment in Lihua's words,

He knew that all the information obtained from Lihua's analysis was from Li Hao, the prince of Nanhou, so he naturally didn't have any doubts about Lihua's conclusion that Lu Xun's strength was superior.

At the same time, he knew very well that it was not strange that a feudal official like Nanhou had become a country within a country under the continuous management of hundreds of years.

It's just that if the Lu family really had such superior strength, but they never thought of rebellion or rumored to be disobedient, Gu Daoyuan suddenly had infinite admiration for the Lu family.

Thinking of this, Gu Daoyuan suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice: "In the past, I have heard people say that the ancestor of the Lu family was sent by the Duke of Shu to conquer the Yue people in the north and controlled the road of Wuling, and it is said that after the surrender of Baiyue, the road should be reopened, or controlled by the Shu State.

But in fact, since the rise of the Lu family, the Shu State has never had the intention of recovering control of these roads, but has also acquiesced to the continued existence and expansion of the Lu family.

In the past hundreds of years, the monarchs of the Shu Kingdom have not taken any precautions against the Lu family, which is really incredible.

According to legend, the power of the Lu family may be on par with that of the mother country.

This rumor Gu used to just listen to it as a joke, but after some analysis by the virtuous nephew, Gu was convinced of this rumor. ”

After hearing Gu Daoyuan's words, the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and he suddenly felt that the Lu family seemed to have a not simple relationship with the Shu State Office.

Because from the analysis of the two of them, it can be clearly seen that the Liu family and the Lu family cannot be as simple as the relationship between monarchs and ministers.

But as for what kind of connection and secret the two families have, Zhu Lihua didn't want to understand it for a while.

When he was about to speak and ask Gu Daoyuan about other things he knew, he saw Gu Daoyuan suddenly exclaim and said to him:

"No, it is said that if you want to kill these people with the power of the Divine Monarch, you just need to raise your finger, but why is it so complicated?

And why did Shenjun and Miss Yu have to suppress these powerful figures in Shu one by one?

What's in it for them?

The last time I was in Shenjing, I heard my nephew say that Shenjun just raised his hand, and many people died.

If you can have such means, why do you need to let Miss Yu Xin'er take action? ”

Although Gu Daoyuan was confused by this difficult question, Yu Lihua seemed to have thought of the answer to the question raised by Gu Daoyuan a long time ago, and frowned and told Gu Daoyuan about his uncertain guess.

"Shenjun once told Xiao Da Shan Yu and me that he wanted to draw out the mysterious forces that controlled the world behind him, so it would be very likely that his goal would be achieved by forming a unified system outside and inside the Guan, because it seemed that those mysterious forces did not want to see this divided world ruled by one person.

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, the Divine Monarch chose Xiao Dashan Yu and me.

I told you about this with the younger people and Lord Zaizuka, I don't know if my uncle still remembers? ”

Gu Daoyuan nodded solemnly and said, "This matter is too appalling, how can I forget it."

However, the old man understood the old man's guess, did the virtuous nephew want to say that the divine monarch may have delayed the process of unification of the world because of the appeasement policy of Shu, so he would personally go out to break Shu apart, and then bring down the powerful people one by one, so that Xiao Jinxing could seize Shu as soon as possible? ”

Lihua looked at Gu Daoyuan with an approving look and nodded, he knew that this old man's mind was really worthy of the name of the crane.

The crane is the legendary immortal's car, and the one who can make the immortal's car, even if it is a bird, is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

"Uncle guessed correctly, the kid is indeed this idea, but maybe the Divine Monarch will not be able to implement his magical powers when he arrives in the pass, or his magical powers will be subject to some restrictions, so he will use Xin'er to use some ordinary means to achieve his goals.

But I'm not too sure about this, after all, when I was in Shenjing, the scene where Shenjun scared Ji Yinan away and saved Xin'er was not something ordinary people could do. ”

"Could it be that there is a limit to the number of times he can use his supernatural powers?

Or does it take a lot of time to recover once used?

If it weren't for seeing so many people die overnight with his own eyes in Shenjing, the old man would not have believed it when this god monarch and divine power said it.

But even so, the old man doesn't want to guess or think about the secret behind the appalling thing, because the existence that is beyond the old man's cognition, if there is no direct threat to us, how can the old man take the initiative to provoke, let alone think about destroying them like you. ”

Zhu Lihua listened to Gu Daoyuan's words, and looked at his expectant gaze, knowing that this was the first time that Gu Daoyuan was persuading himself to stay away from those unknown horrors.

But in Lihua's mind, the woman in white suddenly flashed back to look back at Feiyan, flashed Yu Xin'er's pain when she was assassinated by Ji Yinan, and flashed the appearance of Yiren singing "Pu Jia" in the col on the bank of the Qingshui River.

After the memories passed by in a hurry like a marquee, a burst of essence suddenly flashed in Lihua's eyes.

"Uncle is right, maybe the Divine Monarch can't always use the supernatural powers that we can't understand in the Guannai, so I decided to meet him and talk to him face to face.

If he chooses Siu Kam Hang and me, then please take his hands back from this game and sit back and watch the two of us play a fair game. ”

After Lu Lihua's words fell, Gu Daoyuan sighed secretly in his heart.

He knew that Zhu Lihua was telling himself that he didn't want to withdraw from this game, but he didn't want to let the Divine Monarch interfere in the survival of the Shu Kingdom.

As a price, Lu Lihua will be thrown into the net of heaven and earth laid by the Divine Monarch, and is willing to become a pawn in the hands of the Divine Monarch.

All of this may be because of that Yu Xin'er girl.

Seeing that what Lihua said was very decisive, Gu Daoyuan could only nod with a solemn expression, which could be regarded as expressing his attitude that he would never hinder Lihua's decision again.

And Zhu Lihua also guessed Gu Daoyuan's loss, so he said to Gu Daoyuan with a smile: "The Divine Monarch messed up the Shu Kingdom, I'm afraid it is not just to let Xiao Jinxing come to reap the benefits of the fisherman, if I can control the Shu Kingdom before Xiao Jinxing, then the Divine Monarch will be happy to see it."

Moreover, before I see the Divine Monarch, I have to do a few more things, and if these things are done, then Shu will surrender to me, and it will be as easy as digging for things. ”

Gu Dao saw that Li Hua said it easily, his expression was as usual, he no longer had the solemnity and worry of Fang Cai, and his heart was also very stable.

He suddenly found that he didn't know when this Lihua's every move had been able to make him have enough trust, and this trust came from the fact that Lihua was in trouble.

It is precisely because of this that he has made himself, a high-minded and arrogant person, subtly dependent on Zhu Lihua in every way.

"Maybe I'm too worried."

Gu Daoyuan whispered secretly.

"Even if we want to see the Divine Monarch, I'm afraid we still need to discuss the details, otherwise, how can I rest assured that the life of the Zuo Daren and the national fortune of the Qin State will be handed over to the Divine Monarch who is not a human or a ghost."

Hearing Gu Daoyuan's first time calling himself Zuo Daren after coming to Shu, and then his words were quite sincere, Zhu Lihua's heart was also warm, and then he smiled at Gu Daoyuan and said:

"Don't worry, Lord Zaizuka, Zuo Geng will never be in danger.

He will meet with the Divine Monarch when he is most sure that he will be able to achieve his goal.

And this bargaining chip that will bless the success rate, Yuan Fu will fight for the left greater. ”
