After Feng Deyi sent Lu Junxian away, he sat alone in the dim candlelight, deep in thought.

He has a strong sense of foreboding, although he has repeatedly comforted Lu Junxian, and he is also full of confidence in the handling of the Boling crisis, but in fact he is very uneasy, and he has a premonition that the difficulty of handling the crisis is very great, not only because there are Guan Long people like Duan Da on the side, but also because of the large number of traitors bought by the desert Beiyu to watch on one side, and the wealthy families in northern Hebei are under the attack of internal and external "opponents", there is not much room for manoeuvre, and it is difficult to achieve the best of both worlds.

If the wealthy families in northern Hebei want to quietly solve the crisis and eradicate all the conspirators, and also want to continue to hold the uncovered conference and win the favor of the Holy Lord, it will be too big, and it is very likely to be self-defeating, and the bamboo basket will be empty, and finally move a stone to hit their own feet and bring disaster upon themselves.

So in the current situation, the best of both worlds does not exist in fact, the northern Hebei giants must make a decision, resolutely open the crisis, with the courage of a strong man to break his arm, self-redemption, and strive to minimize the loss, but this cannot guarantee that the holy lord and the center will not retaliate, will not kill chickens and monkeys, will not use bloody means to deter the border traitors, once the holy lord and the center point the finger at the innocent local heroes, monks and believers and Hulu merchants, and start killing, although the northern Hebei giants themselves will not lose too much, However, the loss of related interests is too great, and the interests at the doorstep cannot be preserved, which is not only a great shame, but also a heavy blow to the dignity and prestige of the wealthy family, and the invisible loss is incalculable.

Feng Deyi can be sure that when Lu Junxian sent a letter to the Boling Cui family and the Zhongshan Liu family, the choice of these two wealthy families must be the former, and they must have thought that they have absolute certainty of achieving the "best of both worlds", and must have underestimated the huge risks contained in this choice.

Like Lu Junxian, they will underestimate the serious political consequences caused by "Song Zixian's assassination of the Holy Lord", and the reason is that they will misinterpret the purpose of the white-haired thief who suddenly leaked this major secret, and they will all take it for granted that this matter is fake, that the white-haired thief deliberately framed and planted the false goods, and that the white-haired thief deliberately provoked the fight between the two giants of Jibei and Youyan in order for the alliance to gain a foothold in Yanbei. Since the assassination is fake, the situation is controllable and the harm is limited. It can't be fake, it can't be fake, even if there are ill-intentioned people who use this matter to make a big fuss in order to crack down on the wealthy families in northern Hebei, but the wealthy families in northern Hebei are not vegetarians, not soft persimmons, won't? by slaughter.

However, Feng Deyi believed the white-haired thief, and he concluded that it was true. Since it is true, the white-haired thief is not framing and planting, but helping each other, and is to save the two wealthy families of Jibei and Youyan from danger. Although there are contradictions and conflicts between the wealthy families of Northern Hebei and the wealthy families of Youyan because of regional interests, after all, they are brothers with the same spirit, and they are still cooperating at critical moments, or they are consistent with the outside world, so the white-haired thief's move is equivalent to selling a big favor from Fanyang Lu's family, which can effectively alleviate the contradictions between the Youyan wealthy family and the wealthy families of Northern Hebei, and lay the foundation for working together to deal with the upcoming Civil War.

However, the white-haired thief had a far-sighted plan not only to promote the unity of the local forces in northern Xinjiang, but also to ease the tension between the Holy Lord, the central and the local forces in northern Xinjiang.

The direct consequence of Song Zixian's assassination of the Holy Lord was to provoke a struggle between the Holy Lord, the Central Hub, and the Northern Hebei and Youyan wealthy families.

There are no Shandong people in the central core, which in itself already shows that the Holy Lord is quite wary of the Shandong people, so that the Holy Lord is basically surrounded by Guanlong and Jiangzuo people, and in order to consolidate and strengthen their own power, they will inevitably join forces to prevent Shandong people from entering the core decision-making layer, so the "decline" of Shandong people in the highest power in Middle-earth has become inevitable, and the less political discourse, the more they will suffer in the distribution of power and wealth.

The distribution of power and wealth is one, and when the power is small, the wealth will be less, so the anger of the Shandong people can be imagined, and the contradictions between the Shandong people and the Guanlong people will be deepened, and the cracks between the Shandong people and the Jiangzuo people will become bigger and bigger. Although the general trend of the political situation in China and Turkey is that the Shandong people and the Jiangzuo people join forces to fight against the Guanlong people, the Jiangzuo people always want to make profits and are happy to see the two tigers contending, so the conflict between the Shandong people and the Jiangzuo people is also becoming increasingly fierce, especially after the successive defeats of the Eastern Expedition, Hebei and Youyan are no longer "blood transfusions" for this war, but are crazy "blood sucking" by this protracted war. The consequences of "blood sucking" can be imagined, the contradiction between the two sides is no longer a conflict of interest, but a battle of life and death, in this case, if the Holy Lord and the center want to launch the third crusade to the east, but also to carry out the Great War of the North, then what is the fate of Hebei and Youyan, the price paid can be imagined, and the return is even more eye-shattering?

After the start of the Eastern Crusade, why were the rebellions concentrated in the north and south of the Great River, especially in Hebei and Qilu? There is no other reason, it is precisely because of the unrestrained "bloodsucking" of this war that the officials forced the people to rebel, of course, this "people" is not ordinary civilians, but local aristocratic groups that control resources and wealth. The central authorities have already contained and cracked down on them, but now they are still desperately sucking blood and squeezing them dry, which is tolerable or unbearable.

Forced by the current urgent Sino-foreign crisis and embarrassing domestic political situation, the Holy Lord and the center must try their best to win over the Shandong people, unite the forces of the Shandong people and the Jiangzuo people to contain the Guanlong people's fierce political counterattack, and the most important of them is to ease the tension between the Hebei wealthy family, the Youyan wealthy family, and the Qilu family.

Therefore, this divisive plan is too powerful, once this storm roars, not only the northern Hebei giants will be hit hard, but also will inevitably affect Youyan, Dai Heng and other local forces in the entire northern Xinjiang and its surrounding areas, and finally both will lose, so the situation at home and abroad is more and more unfavorable to the Holy Lord and the center, and the last laugh is not only the conservative forces dominated by the Guanlong aristocratic group, but also the desert and the northern captives who are eyeing the Middle Earth and are ready to invade the south, so it is not difficult to imagine its seriousness.

The more Feng Deyi thought about it, the more "headache" he felt, and he felt very troubled.

The white-haired thief is a key person who cannot be ignored, and anyone who regards him as an ordinary thief is very wrong, and now even Feng Deyi has to ask, why does the big secret of "Song Zixian's conspiracy to assassinate the Holy Lord" not know about the big secret of the wealthy family in northern Hebei, but the white-haired thief who came from afar knows? Where did the white-haired thief know? Does he have clairvoyance and ears? Or did he secretly arrange a lot of eyeliner inside and outside the Great Wall during the years of his disappearance?

Song Zixian is in Tang County, Boling County, and is running to organize the "Uncovered Conference" to "cater to" the Holy Lord, so the wealthy families of Jibei and Youyan, the local government offices, monks and nuns in the dojo, and the Han merchants will all contribute generously and actively support, after all, it is good for everyone to be able to win the favor of the Holy Lord. On their way back to Kyoto, the Holy Lord and the Central Authority passed through Boling, and they were bound to participate in this "Unveiled Assembly" to demonstrate the benevolence of the supreme rulers who held the Heavenly Constitution. At this time, once someone attacks the Holy Driver and assassinates the Holy Lord, the result can be imagined, so it is not difficult to imagine how many pairs of eyes are firmly fixed on the organizers of the conference, lest there be an accident during the preparation process or during the conference. However, after a hundred secrets, an accident still appeared, but what was unbelievable was that the person who found this "accident" turned out to be an "outsider", a thief who had just come from Qilu to fight, which was incredible.

Feng Deyi suddenly had the idea of seeing the white-haired thief, but then abandoned this absurd idea. What can two strangers, distrustless people talk about? couldn't talk about anything, and Duan Da was purely helpless before, and he rushed to the doctor in a hurry, so he thought of making an appointment to meet the white-haired thief, but fortunately, the white-haired thief's purpose was also to force him to negotiate, so the white-haired thief took the initiative to invite, but the person who was in charge of the negotiation was Li Zixiong, the reason was that there was a foundation of trust between Li Zixiong and Duan Da, if the white-haired thief came forward to negotiate, Duan Da could believe his words? It can be inferred from this that even if Feng Deyi made an "amazing move" to secretly meet the white-haired thief, the person he saw would definitely be Li Zixiong, and he took a step back and said that even if the white-haired thief came forward in person, the white-haired thief would not reveal anything substantial to Feng Deyi, and it would be in vain to see it.

The bell also needs to be tied to the bell. Feng Deyi concluded that he had no solution to the crisis, and the Boling Cui clan, Fan Yang Lu clan and Zhongshan Liu clan were arrogant, and the countermeasures they came up with were very likely to shoot themselves in the foot, so if they wanted to solve the crisis in the shortest possible time, they had to ask the white-haired thief, and even, they had to turn to the white-haired thief, otherwise why did the white-haired thief suddenly reveal this major secret? There are no three hundred taels of silver here.

Feng Deyi thought of Pei Shiju.

After repeated analysis, deduction and weighing, Feng Deyi resolutely made a decision and asked Pei Shiju to help. Now Pei Shiju is still in the palace, and he should not have left for the northwest yet, because this trip to the west takes a long time and has a big mission, and a lot of preparations must be done, so it is impossible to leave as soon as he says.

Feng Deyi immediately wrote a book, focusing on the white-haired thief, and gave a detailed account of the sharp changes in the battle situation in Shanggu and the sudden Boling crisis, revealing a strong hint between the lines that the white-haired thief was the key person back then.

Once this secret is exposed, it will inevitably involve and implicate Pei Shiju. Pei Shiju has too many political enemies, and the reason why he can't stand in the center depends on the Holy Lord's trust in him, and once the crisis of trust breaks out, Pei Shiju's personal life is a trivial matter, and the ongoing adjustment, revision, and implementation of the national defense and foreign affairs grand strategy will inevitably suffer heavy setbacks, and the crisis faced by the Holy Lord and the center will become bigger and bigger.

In order to prevent trouble before it happens, Pei Shiju must take precautions and must firmly seize the initiative, and the top priority is to immediately verify whether the white-haired thief is the key person back then.
