The fact that Kabu and the Hogg clan drew their swords and almost started to do so soon reached the ears of Liu Yuanzhi and Shi Min.

"That's pretty much it." Zhang Mufeng said.

Shi Min nodded with satisfaction and instructed Zhang Mufeng, "You should retreat first." ”

"Yes."

Seeing Zhang Mufeng retreat, Liu Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Master Min, it seems that things are going more smoothly than we imagined!" ”

Shi Min nodded and said, "This strategy of ours just hits the interests of the Hogg clan and the Kabu family, so it will stimulate their contradictions. ”

"It's just that this matter still needs to be closed, although on the surface, the Qiang people have promised to surrender, but the matter of Curritai acting as a proton has not yet been settled. Although our purpose is to provoke internal contradictions among the Qiang people, wouldn't it be better if we could hold Mudu's son in our hands? Liu Yuanzhi said.

"What Lord Liu said is very true! But in my opinion, there is no need to worry too much about this! ”

"Why?" Liu Yuanzhi was puzzled.

"The Hogg clan and Kabu who are now supporting Curitai must have made it clear that they want to compete for the position of heir, my lord, don't you say?"

"It's nature!"

"Those uncles in Curitai, as long as one of them is not a fool, they will definitely associate these things with our Zhao Kingdom!" Shi Min paused, and then said: "The adults have said just now, since a few days ago, some people have spread rumors that Curitai is not Mudu's son, and now we ask Mudu Kulitai to be a proton. So the Hogg clan must think that we have colluded with Ka'b and want to take the position of heir to Curitai. ”

"So, the people of the Hogg clan will definitely come to us!"

"That's right!" Shi Min smiled and said, "Lord Liu, it seems that you may have to act in another scene." ”

Liu Yuanzhi nodded and said, "In my opinion, this scene can be played like this......"

Liu Yuanzhi said and beckoned to Shi Min.

……

In the dead of night, Liu Yuanzhi sat alone in the tent, shaking a pu fan in one hand, holding a book in the other, and a mutton fat lamp lit on the table next to him.

Suddenly, Liu Yuanzhi vaguely heard a slight sound of footsteps, then raised his head and saw a vague figure already appearing outside the tent.

"Since you're here, come in and sit down!" Liu Yuanzhi said unhurriedly.

The man hesitated, but lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Daban Thousand Households." Liu Yuanzhi smiled and put down the book in his hand.

The person who came was Daban, and when he saw Liu Yuanzhi recognizing him at a glance, Daban was a little surprised.

"Lord Liu actually recognizes me." Daban said calmly.

"You may be seated!" Liu Yuanzhi raised his hand and said, "I've been waiting for a long time!" ”

Daban sat down slowly, his face puzzled.

Seeing Daban's expression, Liu Yuanzhi explained unhurriedly: "Daban Qianhu and Clair Qianhu are the uncles of the eldest prince Kuritai and the leader of the Hogg clan, so it's not surprising that I know you here. ”

"Lord Liu just said that he had been waiting for a long time, did he know that I was going to come to you?" Daban asked.

Liu Yuanzhi smiled and replied, "I just guessed that someone from the Hogg clan would come to me, but I didn't expect it to be Daban Qianhu." ”

"Since that's the case, then the purpose of my coming, Lord Liu should also be clear, right?" Daban asked again.

Liu Yuanzhi still had a calm and calm smile on his face, and said, "I probably know!" ”

"Since Lord Liu knows, then I won't go around the bend, I have something to ask for advice below, dare to ask if I want Curry to go to Zhao Kingdom, is it a whim or a plan?"

"Qianhu already has the answer in his heart, and he wants to ask me again, it seems that he wants to confirm his guess." Liu Yuanzhi said, poured a bowl of water for Daban, pushed it in front of him, and then said: "Don't hide it from thousands of households, it's a whim." ”

"Then if you want to ask your adult to withdraw this request now, I wonder if your adult will agree?"

"I am also entrusted by others, since I have promised others, I am afraid that I will fall into the hands of others."

Daban frowned slightly, then returned to a smiling face, and said: "Liu Da's popularity is extraordinary, and he is admirable!" But what benefits can Lord Liu get by insisting on doing this? What Kabu can give, we Hoggs can give! ”

"Money? It's not what I like Liu Yuanzhi. Fame? The Qiang people can't give it. Then may I ask Daban Qianhu, what kind of reason can you give me to convince me? ”

"Then I'm curious, what reason did Kabu give to bother Lord Liu to help him?"

Liu Yuanzhi didn't answer Daban's question directly, just smiled and took a sip of water.

"Lord Liu thought that Kulitai went to Zhao to be a hostage, but in fact, what you took away was just an ordinary person who ate dry rice, that's all!"

"Oh? What is the opinion of a thousand households? Liu is willing to hear about it! Liu Yuanzhi deliberately pretended not to understand.

"Kuritai's biological mother, the eldest sister in Xia, has passed away for many years, and now there are rumors outside that Curritai is not the son of the leader, this, Lord Liu should have heard of it, right?"

"I heard."

"What kind of person is the leader, Lord Liu also knows very well in his heart, so if Curitai really goes to Zhao State, it means that the leader has given up on him, so Lord Liu, do you think there is any point in Curlitai being a proton?"

"Yes." Liu Yuanzhi replied.

"I'm afraid that you can give an explanation to His Majesty the Emperor of Zhao State, right?"

Liu Yuanzhi smiled and asked, "Qianhu said so much, just to let me retract this sentence in front of the head of Mudu, am I right?" ”

"Exactly."

"Then I want to ask Qianhu a word, even if Kuritai stays in the Qiang tribe, what are your plans?"

"This ......" Daban's expression was grim, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"It's not that you haven't thought about it, but you can't think of it at all, right?" Liu Yuanzhi looked at Daban calmly, and said: "Because you are not sure that you can keep Curitai at all, your worst plan is nothing more than to break the net with Kabu!" If it succeeds, fortunately it supports Kuritai as the new leader, but if it fails, it will be a catastrophe. ”

Daban was deeply shocked by Liu Yuanzhi's words, he didn't expect that Liu Yuanzhi, who was not amazing, had such a meticulous mind and excellent inference ability, but he only said a few words, but he hit the main point word by word.

"Lord Liu is worthy of being the pillar of Zhao Guo, so shrewd, very human!" Daban said.

"Daban Qianhu, in this case, do you still want to leave Kuritai in the Qiang tribe? Even if Curritai wants to be an ordinary person, I'm afraid Kabu and Mrs. Rouge won't agree, right? ”

Daban was silent, his fingers rubbing back and forth, indicating his restless heart at this time.

"Senho-sama is actually right! If Kuritai goes to the Zhao Kingdom, there is actually no benefit! But did Qianhu ever think that it was really dangerous for Kuritai to stay in Hexi! So instead of this, why don't you let him go back to Zhao with me? ”

"Lord Liu, what I want to know is that you know that Curry Tai can't be your pawn, but why do you want to take him away?"

"Daban Qianhu, sometimes thinking about the problem, you might as well change the angle, maybe there will be a different conclusion."

"Please teach ...... Lord Liu"

"Right now, the only way to let Curritai go to Zhao is the best choice for both Curritai and your Hogg clan. At least, no matter how long the hands of the Kabu brothers and sisters are, they can't reach Zhao Guo. ”

"Lord Liu, can you keep Kuri safe?" Daban asked suspiciously.

"Of course." Liu Yuanzhi smiled slightly.

"Why?"

"Because I hope that the Qiang people can truly submit to our Zhao Kingdom!"

"The chief has promised to submit to ......"

"No, no, Lord Qianhu, with your understanding of the Mudu leader and the Kabu brothers and sisters, do you think that this so-called peace between the Qiang and the Qiang tribe can last for a few days?"

"Lord Liu means that he wants Curry to ......"

Daban said that he still didn't say it after all, because he felt that Liu Yuanzhi couldn't be so kind, but the meaning of his words seemed to be ......

"That's right! I'd rather trust the Hogg clan and the Curitai Boys than Ka'b and Lady Rouge! Liu Yuanzhi said, raised the bowl to Daban, and said, "Replace wine with tea, come." ”

Daban picked up the bowl with a puzzled expression, looked at Liu Yuanzhi, and then made a bowl with him. [.]
