Why Bai Xiaotian appeared here, everyone was puzzled, and they all looked at the patriarch.

"Don't worry, Mr. Bai is his own person. Xuanyuan nodded slightly towards Bai Xiaotian and continued, "Please continue Mr. Bai." ”

"There is still a month, Ye Gucheng will tour the south to rebuild the situation, I will encourage the Zhang family to take the opportunity to kill, once Ye Gucheng is dead, all over the country and even the affiliated tribes in the new city will inevitably be dissatisfied with the Zhang family, at that time, as long as the Xuanyuan clan has the order to avenge the city lord, they will definitely respond to every call, destroy the Zhang family, sit in the new city, dominate the northern wilderness, just around the corner. ”

I have to say that Bai Xiaotian's plan is quite vicious, although Xuanyuan Wuji hates Ye Gucheng, he never thought of killing Ye Gucheng.

In fact, most generals have this mentality.

The Xuanyuan clan warriors have clear grievances, no matter how Ye Gucheng is, after all, he has made a significant contribution to the family, if it were not for Ye Gucheng, they would not have the living environment they have today! According to their original intentions, as long as the position of Ye Gucheng City Lord was abolished.

Immediately, they expressed their opinions.

Xuanyuan Zhuo did not respond, but set his eyes on Bai Xiaotian.

Bai Xiaotian smiled indifferently and said slowly: "I have long heard that the Xuanyuan clan people are affectionate and righteous, but now that I see it, it really deserves its reputation! It's just that you are benevolent to Ye Gucheng, but Ye Gucheng may not appreciate it! Now it is no longer a matter of personal life and death, but the time of the family's survival." ”

"Yes! Mr. Bai is right. Xuanyuan Zhuozhuo's face was sad, and he sighed lightly: "Ye Gucheng is the destiny of my clan after all, if it is not a last resort, I don't want to come to this point! ”

The generals were silent.

"That's it, you guys step back first! Remember, no one is allowed to divulge Mr. Bai's affairs. Xuanyuan was so excited that he ordered the expulsion of customers.

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Everyone retreated with a heavy heart.

Xuanyuan Zhuo glanced coldly at his son on Mo Li's side, turned his gaze, and smiled at Bai Xiaotian: "Please Mr. Bai move to the inner hall to speak." ”

Bai Xiaotian understood and slowly kept up with Xuanyuan's excellent pace.

In the inner hall, there are no idle people, etc., and the two can finally talk openly.

"Mr. Bai, how can you be sure that the Zhang family will definitely kill Ye Gucheng according to the plan?"

"Since Ye Gucheng killed Zhang Tu and the Zhang family soldiers, the generals of the Zhang family hate him to the core, Zhang Tao has long coveted the position of the city lord, and the only scruple is the Xuanyuan clan! Therefore, he had no choice but to sacrifice Xuanyuan Lidang! After all, only by killing Xuanyuan Lidang can the Xuanyuan clan's hatred of Ye Gucheng be completely aroused, and Zhang Tao can be relieved!"

For these things, in fact, Xuanyuan Zhuo knew about it a long time ago! At the beginning, Bai Xiaotian expressed his loyalty to him, he was half-convinced, and later designed to intensify the contradiction between Ye Gucheng and the Zhang family, he believed it, and then, in order to make the plan go smoothly, he had to push Xuanyuan out of the way!

"Of course, you still need the cooperation of Patriarch Xuanyuan to ensure that the plan is foolproof!"

Xuanyuan Zhuo's heart moved, and he said slowly: "How does Mr. Bai need me to cooperate?"

"Show weakness to the Zhang family!"

"Show weakness to the Zhang family?" Xuanyuan Zhuo looked puzzled.

Bai Xiaotian explained: "The so-called show of weakness is actually a trick to deceive the soldiers, I will arrange a private meeting between you and Zhang Tao in two days, at that time, you only need to tell him that the Xuanyuan clan has no intention of infecting the new city, but only wants to sit on the territory of the original Black Mountain Clan and the Holy Fire Sect, and at the same time can pay tribute to the new city, and when the time is ripe, raise troops to encircle and suppress Zhang Tao." ”

"Mr. Bai may not know that the Zhang family's troops are deployed, the Zhang family has 100,000 soldiers alone, and there are more than 20,000 soldiers in our clan plus the soldiers belonging to the clan, how to encircle and suppress it?"

"It seems that the Xuanyuan patriarch still doesn't know Ye Gucheng's prestige! The Zhang family has many branches, not everyone hates Ye Gucheng, on the contrary, many soldiers appreciate Ye Gucheng's actions, and these are usually suppressed and not given heavy responsibilities! Of course, there is no shortage of ambitious people who want to set up their own doors, such as Zhang Hao!"

"Zhang Hao?" Xuanyuan Excellence was overjoyed.

In fact, Zhang Hao had different aspirations as early as when he did not move from the Xuanyuan Clan. At that time, the first to respond to the patriarch must be Zhang Hao's 40,000 personal soldiers, most of Zhang Tao's personal soldiers followed Ye Gucheng to the south, there are few left in the city, and there will be no defeat. ”

"How does Mr. Bai ensure that Ye Gucheng can't return to the new city, you must know that he is very likely to be a god descending from heaven. ”

"The gods of heaven are mortals after all, they will bleed, and they will die unexpectedly! There are many relatives of Zhang Hao's soldiers in the army, and if something happens, he will definitely hunt down and kill Ye Gucheng, unless he can really fight against ten thousand, he will die. ”

Xuanyuan Zhuo couldn't help but be excited, he waited for so long, and finally completed the act of rejuvenating the clan in his lifetime, he didn't have to worry about the rescue of the subordinate tribe soldiers, because most of the subordinate tribes today were farmers and had no combat effectiveness.

"After the deed is done, what does Zhang Hao want to get?"

"The right to use the territory of the former Holy Fire Cult and the territory of the original barbarian tribes must not interfere with each other, and the nobles must send Xuanyuan Wendong to help build the stone house wall and other defensive works. ”

Compared with these, Xuanyuan Zhuo cares more about the ownership of the new city, so naturally there is no opinion, he thought about it, and continued: "Then where to choose to assassinate Ye Gucheng?"

"Amudu. ”

Xuanyuan Excellence's eyes lit up, Amudu is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains, which is not conducive to the help of various affiliated tribes, it is really a good location.

However, the most critical point and the biggest variable among them, Bai Xiaotian!

For Bai Xiaotian, although Xuanyuan Excellence trusted, he was not so trusting that he would take risks.

Bai Xiaotian seemed to see through Xuanyuan's outstanding scruples, and chuckled: "Of course! Xuanyuan Patriarch doesn't know much about me, and it's unlikely that he will believe me rashly! ”

The Broken Intestine Pill is a secret poison recently made by the Xili clan, mainly used to control the leaders of the affiliated garrisons in various places, it is extremely toxic, and the antidote is extremely difficult to deploy. Now that the Xili clan is under the jurisdiction of the Xuanyuan clan, the antidote formula naturally falls into the hands of the Xuanyuan clan.

Xuanyuan Zhuo saw that Bai Xiaotian was so sincere, and his heart was reassured, after all, Bai Xiaotian was not a member of the Zhang family, and it was impossible for him to take his life for the Zhang family! ”

"Good!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The storm comes and goes fast!

When Ye Gucheng returned to Ye Mansion, the rain had become lighter.

The guards looked at the city lord who looked like a chicken in soup, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Where's Xuanyuan Xiu?"

"Back to the city lord, her subordinates have imprisoned her in the room, and everything is fine. ”

Hearing this, Ye Gucheng finally put his mind at ease and hurriedly walked towards the room.

Xuanyuan Xiu sat quietly on the wooden chair, motionless for the food on the table, and did not say anything when she saw Ye Gucheng coming.

"I know you hate me and hate me! In fact, I hate myself too!" Ye Gucheng looked deeply at the beautiful face covered with frost, his eyes crossed a trace of pain, and continued: "Ke Xiu'er, you are not me! You don't understand, and you will never understand, killing Dang'er, I am more heartbroken than anyone else, however, if you don't kill Dang'er, Xincheng will immediately fall into turmoil." ”

Xuanyuan Xiu was like a wooden man, unmoved.

"To tell you the truth!Xiu'er! I regret it! If I go back in time, I would rather die in the village with you than come out! The outside world is too dangerous and too dark! I'm about to lose myself, and you're getting more and more unhappy, this is not the life I want!" Ye Gucheng said, his eyes reddened.

Xuanyuan Xiu's expression moved, and tears finally flowed down her eyes at her sweetheart.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Ye Gucheng wiped the tears on Xiu's face with his hand, but his own tears fell silently.

Xuanyuan Xiu finally couldn't help but hug Ye Gucheng and cry bitterly, tearing her heart and lungs, regardless of the other party's wet body wetting herself.

A few days later, Xuanyuan Zhuo and Zhang Tao had a formal private meeting, and the two were chatting secretly, no one knew, only that they had a very happy conversation, and the stiffness of the soldiers of the two clans was also alleviated.

This kind of change, Ye Gucheng saw it in his eyes and was relieved in his heart.

The unity of the soldiers and the harmony between the army and the people is his greatest hope. At the same time, he also made up his mind that after a month, he resigned as the city lord of the southern patrol, and when the time came, he could officially marry Xuanyuan Xiu and no longer pay attention to military affairs.

The sun is shining and the lake is sparkling.

On the raft, the graceful posture is graceful, and the oars are slender, looking back and smiling.

Ye Gucheng sat quietly on the grass, looking at the girl rowing in the lake, and his heart was peaceful.

More than ten days have passed!

Xuanyuan Xiu seemed to have walked out of the shadow of Xuanyuan's detached wandering, during this time, in order to make the other party happy, Ye Gucheng put down the affairs in his hand, and wholeheartedly accompanied the other party to play in the mountains and rivers, indulging in the mountains and wilderness.

When Zhang Yueli saw this scene, her expression became more complicated, and she hesitated for a while, as if she had made some decision, and slowly stepped forward.

Ye Gucheng was really startled when he saw Zhang Yueli again, and the woman in front of him looked very haggard.

"Ye Gucheng! I admit it, you are more real now! This is good! If you can, please keep it like this!"

Ye Gucheng didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only be silent.

"Ye Gucheng, I'm leaving! My father ordered me to inspect the territory of the various affiliated tribes, and I should be the first to explore the way for you. ”

Ye Gucheng didn't know why, he heard a sadness from Zhang Yueli's tone.

"You won't hug me?"

What is said ...

Ye Gucheng sighed secretly, and hugged his open hands with a complicated expression.

"Remember, don't go on a southern tour. Zhang Yueli's voice was very low, and immediately, he quickly pushed Ye Gucheng away and said loudly: "Ye Gucheng, remember, when I come back, you will roast me the biggest fish." ”

Ye Gucheng watched Zhang Yueli lead several horses away blankly, and there was a doubt in his heart.

What did Zhang Yueli mean by what he said?

Xuanyuan Xiu, perhaps alone rowing a raft and finding it boring, shouted while paddling to the shore: "Lonely City, come and row with me." ”

"It's here!" Ye Gucheng came back to his senses, shook his head and walked over with a smile.

Zhang's house.

"You mean, Li'er met Ye Gucheng?" Zhang Tao's expression changed suddenly.

"Leader, yes!"

"What did she say to Ye Gucheng?" Zhang Tao's tone became urgent.

The guards didn't know why the leader was so nervous, and reported truthfully: "Commander Zhang just said goodbye to the city lord and didn't say anything else. ”

It seems that Li'er really doesn't know, otherwise, with her character, she will definitely warn Ye Gucheng.

Zhang Tao was still a little uneasy, thought about it, and said slowly: "Pay close attention to the city lord's every move, and report it at any time." ”

"Yes!" the guards didn't know why the leader asked him to keep an eye on the city lord, but as a subordinate, he only had to obey orders.

Happy times always fly by, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed!

The day of Ye Gucheng's southern tour is coming!

Thinking that during the Southern Tour, no matter how difficult it was to eat deliciously, Ye Gucheng tried his best to concoct all kinds of grilled fish, in order to let Xuanyuan Xiumei have a meal.

But the strange thing is that Xuanyuan Xiu looked a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's wrong, little gluttonous cat, you still don't eat grilled fish?" Ye Gucheng looked puzzled.

Xuanyuan Xiu came back to her senses and said solemnly: "Lonely City, today Sister Feiyan pulled me aside and asked me to tell you that you must not go to the southern tour tomorrow." ”

Ye Gucheng's heart froze, this sentence was the second time he had heard it!

"Did she say anything else?"

Xuanyuan Xiu thought for a while and recalled: "It seems that there is no more, but Sister Feiyan looks nervous. ”

Could it be that something happened to the affiliated tribes?

Ye Gucheng thought of what the soldiers of the Zhang family had done, and felt uneasy in his heart, could it be that they dared to disobey the order and slaughter the Black Mountain people?

No, we have to leave as soon as possible.
