"Of course, what Lord Basten said is not unreasonable, but we can free up our hands after we control Gerlock, try to keep both of them balanced in strength, and in the end, neither of them will have an absolute advantage, so that it is in our interests, I think on this point, the positions of the Poole and the Sithlos should be consistent with ours, and in terms of actions, they should also be in harmony with us." Gomez added.

"Prime Minister, do you think Qin Dui will be involved in this operation?" Duke Miley finally asked the question he had been worried about, "If he also sends troops into the Kansai region, how will we respond?" ”

"Duke Miley's good question, and that's what has always bothered me. Qin Duan, this guy is too cunning, once the Central Plains is in chaos, with his character, he will not not intervene, the question is how deep is he ready to intervene? Is it to reap certain practical benefits, or to take the opportunity to chase the Central Plains? ”

"I have analyzed this for a long time, and I feel that under this kind of situation, as long as the orthodox dynasty of the Great Qin Empire has not collapsed, he will not enter the Central Plains in a big way, after all, the Zhao family has been based for thousands of years, and the people of the Central Plains, especially the upper class, still have certain feelings for the Zhao family, and to really enter the Central Plains, his strength is still weaker, and we occupy Jiayuguan, and the Jiama region is also in our hands, and we can also contain his power at any time. So I think that once the war breaks out, he will not be able to control the situation of the entire Central Plains for the time being. ”

Obviously, Gomez also had a deep consideration for Qin Dui's actions and made arrangements in various aspects, and he still had some thoughts that he didn't say, Qin Dui was like a tiger out of the gate, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would bring harm to himself. He'll have to be prepared a few more hands to deal with it.

But people are counted as tigers, and tigers are also counted as people, can Qin Duan stay in the northwest obediently? Will the few pieces available in Gomez's hand be useful? This can only be proven by the wheel of history.

The most prosperous Xidu Avenue in Tianshui City, the three-story Ziyun Pavilion is the most prestigious restaurant in Tianshui City, and next to it is the largest gold cave in Tianshui City - Qinglian Temple.

A group of black-clothed men sat silently in a secret room in the Qinglian Courtyard, as if waiting for something. Especially the middle-aged burly man sitting at the door, although the black scarf was masked, he couldn't hide the anxious look in his eyes.

The door was pushed open, and it was a brocade woman who was nearly, and the masked man in the black scarf was overjoyed when he saw it, he stood up violently and followed the brocade woman out, and there was a muttering sound outside the door.

"Already decided?" It was the voice of a masked man in a black scarf.

"Well, no problem. I saw them go in with my own eyes. It should be the voice of the woman in brocade.

"So where is the best place for us to ambush?" The man in the black scarf asked in a deep voice.

Then there was a faint conversation, a bag of cigarettes, a black scarf masked man, walked in like a gust of wind, waved his hand, all the men in black sitting in the room quickly got up and rushed out, and soon disappeared into the courtyard.

In the largest private room on the second floor of the Ziyun Pavilion, the tall and thin old man who occupies the main position frequently raises his glass. Seven or eight plainclothes men at the same table clinked glasses and drank with each other, several of whom were dressed in civilian clothes. But several of them could not hide their fierce military temperament.

"Come on, come on, come to you and give you another glass, tomorrow you will set off for the west, the old man wishes you all a smooth journey, come to do this cup!" The old man stood up first, raised his glass and drank it all.

The rest of the people also got up and raised their glasses. That's when a big change happened.

The windows on the east side all cracked open in an instant, and the shadows flickered, accompanied by a loud "bang", followed by a chilling "boom" sound. Flying locust-like crossbow arrows suddenly enveloped the entire room.

Two of the people sitting around the table responded very quickly, one of them lifted the round table suddenly, and sat down violently, causing one person to roll sideways and roll into the corner of the wall, and by the way, he brought the brocade stool to block the front. The powerful crossbow arrows made a piercing sound on the table and stool, and the other people were not so lucky, especially the three people with their backs to the window were shot like hedgehogs on the spot, and the one next to them was also shot in the shoulder by the arrow.

However, the tall and thin old man was lucky, and the crossbow arrows were blocked by the original table that was erected, and his body fell to the ground with a limp, "Someone, there are assassins!" The screams were chilling.

Before the sergeants outside the door poured in, the black figure had already covered the window that had already collapsed, and they swarmed in a flash, and the sound of slashing and killing filled the ears, and the sergeant guarding the door was also very sensitive, and broke into the door before they had time to open the door, but the small space limited their play, and before they pounced, the man in black had already controlled the whole scene, and five of the eight people at a table had fallen in a pool of blood, and they could not live, and the other two were also flesh and blood, and they were in danger. Fortunately, the soldiers swooped desperately to block the crazy attack of the man in black regardless of life and death, and the superior soldiers who followed quickly took the advantage, and the guards who got the news quickly surrounded the entire restaurant.

The battle did not last long, and the men in black paid a heavy price when surrounded by the army, except for a few who escaped, the rest were either killed or seriously wounded and captured. But when the soldiers held the captured ones, the black blood on the corners of their mouths also announced the end of their lives.

That night, the whole city of Tianshui was under martial law to search for suspicious people.

Looking at Qin Duan's sleeping face, Situ Qingqing's hurried steps couldn't help but slow down. It seems that Ailang is indeed too tired, should he wait and come back? In the past few days, both Gu Dengyun's intelligence department in the Kansai region and the intelligence network deployed by the Northwest Intelligence Agency in the Kansai region have noticed the abnormalities in the entire Kansai region, and even the official offices of the various prefectures in the Kansai region have also noticed it. The entire Kansai Six Prefectures seem to want a restless powder keg, and whoever touches it lightly may stir up gunsmoke in the sky.

Qin Duan has also been dizzy and busy these days, and it seems that everything is gathered together. In addition to paying attention to the changes in the situation from the Kansai region occupied most of his energy, the changes in the Western Regions countries also made Qin Duan feel a little annoyed, and at this time, Su Qin was visiting outside, Zhuge was sitting in Taixuan Mansion, and there was no one around him who could discuss and discuss, which made Qin Duan feel the pain of lack of talents again, his foundation was too shallow, and it was indeed a little difficult for himself to have a deep accumulation in just a few years, Qin Duan could only comfort himself like this.
