The game time soon entered May 1900, Chen Hao studied with Wang Minyun for ten days, and every day Wang Minyun would instill some scheming methods into him. Wang Minyun has an educational A-level stunt, which has a bonus effect when explaining, so Chen Hao improves quickly. Ten days later, he not only learned the Stratagem perk, but also increased the Stratagem stat by 3 points.

Emperor's Mental Technique: A-level stunt, subordinates with scheming lower than themselves will never betray, increasing the chance of NPCs defecting by 50%.

The introduction of the Emperor's Mind Technique is very short, but it is a top-notch stunt, and this stunt Chen Hao can use it immediately. Although his scheming is only 27 points, there are not many NPCs with high scheming except for those old fritters in the officialdom, such as NPCs with strong martial arts like Lin Heier and Cuiyun Niang, and their scheming is not high, as long as they can be subdued, they don't worry about their betrayal.

Chen Hao did not leave after learning the emperor's heart surgery, but seized the time to study with Wang Minyun, and two days later, a systematic announcement suddenly appeared in Huaxia District: "On May 24, 1900, the envoys of various countries sent a note to the Qing court that they would garrison troops in the embassy. ”

The rapid development of the Boxers made the foreign powers panic, and they asked the Qing government to take measures to eliminate the Boxers, and the Empress Dowager Cixi repeatedly issued edicts prohibiting the Boxers and organized troops to encircle and suppress, but it was difficult to extinguish them for a while due to various reasons.

On May 19, Catholic Archbishop Fan Guoliang sent a letter to the French minister, requesting that the navy be summoned to Beijing for defense. On May 24, the Great Powers sent a note to the Qing court requesting a garrison, but the Qing court first refused and was later forced to agree. After the embassy guards of the great powers entered the capital, some diplomats headed by German Minister Klinder blindly used force to solve the problem, further intensifying the contradictions.

The stationing of troops in the capital made the Qing court feel threatened, and after discovering that the Boxers had been resisting the foreign ** team, the Qing court's attitude towards the Boxers changed. On June 6, Cixi sent Gangyi to "dissuade" the Boxers, which was actually an investigation of the situation, and the result of the resolute investigation was that "the boxers can be feared", which made Cixi make up her mind to use the Boxers to deal with the foreigners.

The game time is on May 24th, which means that the important plot of the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance is about to begin, and Chen Hao does not want to miss this plot mission. He had made a deep impression on Nie Shicheng, who was the protagonist of the victory in Langfang, so he had a good chance of going to northern Hebei to get an important mission.

On June 10, the Boxers surrounded the embassy, and the embassy area was cut off from telecommunications with the outside world, and on June 11, Russia, Britain, the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, and Austria cobbled together 2,066 officers and men to form an allied advance team, led by British Vice Admiral Seymour, and set off from Tianjing by train to Beijing to defend the embassy.

The coalition forces were attacked by the Qing army and the Boxers led by Nie Shicheng in Langfang, and Seymour was a naval general who was not good at land warfare, so he was at a disadvantage before he began to engage the coalition army, and could only withdraw to Tianjing to wait for reinforcements. History called this battle "Langfang Victory", but in fact the results were not great, because this battle Empress Dowager Cixi's self-confidence was extremely inflated, and she declared war on the Eight Kingdoms at the same time in the name of Guangxu.

The capital has gathered a large number of Chinese players, and many players from the great powers have also received coalition missions, and northern Hebei has become the most lively location. In the invasion plot of the Eight-Nation Alliance, players of the Great Powers can have up to 40,000 people to join the Coalition Army, and Huaxia players can have 80,000 people to participate in the task of resisting the Coalition Army due to the lag of weapons and equipment behind the players of the Great Powers.

The advance team of the coalition led by Seymour has 2066 players, so the ratio of players from the Great Powers is 2000, and Huaxia can have 4000 players to participate in the battle in Langfang. Some of the players currently gathered in the capital are looking for opportunities to participate in the Battle of Langfang, while others have received a mission to mix with the Boxer NPCs and prepare to participate in the siege of foreign embassies.

There were almost twenty days before the Battle of Langfang, and Chen Hao decided not to go to the capital for the time being after thinking about it for a while. Although there are many small tasks that can be done in memory, the rewards obtained are not as important as the conspiracy attribute points, and then follow Wang Minyun to study for more than ten days The conspiracy attribute points can be increased by a few, and it means little to him to get weapons and equipment or money by doing those small tasks, and it is more important to improve the conspiracy attributes.

Chen Hao left a deep impression on Nie Shicheng, so when he waited for the Battle of Langfang, he could directly participate in the mission with Nie Shicheng, without looking for mission opportunities in northern Hebei. After making up his mind, he found Wang Minyun and said: "Recently, I have received guidance from the teacher, and I feel that I have benefited a lot, and I hope to continue to study under the teacher." ”

Wang Minyun said: "I teach you the art of scheming just on paper, if you want to continue to learn, you must first learn to use it, you should first use the art of scheming I taught you to practice and then continue to learn the theory!" ”

"Player Chen Baxian, NPC Wang Minyun issued you the learning task 'Scheming Practice', task completion conditions: Successfully use the scheming techniques taught by Wang Minyun under suitable conditions, do you choose to accept it?"

Players will trigger learning tasks every once in a while after apprenticing, and they can continue to receive guidance from the teacher after completing them. The scope of this task released by Wang Minyun is very wide, as long as he successfully uses the art of scheming in interpersonal communication. But it is precisely like this, Chen Hao is more entangled, there are only more than ten days before the battle of Langfang, where will he find a suitable opportunity to use his scheming skills in a day or two?

The art of scheming is intrigue, and if you find someone to deal with it, maybe Wang Minyun will not admit to completing the task, so you must find someone who has a conflict of interest with you to perform it to be considered successful. Thinking of this, Chen Hao thought of the figure of Xuanyuan Sword in his mind, this time he came to Xiangnan Xuanyuan Sword has always been against him, and what he wants to kill the most is Xuanyuan Sword.

After Chen Hao completed the task of eliminating the bandits, Xuanyuan Jian did not leave, and he had a hot fight with the county commander Shi Hong, and he didn't know what his idea was. When Chen Hao completed the task of eliminating the bandits, Wang Minyun instructed him, since he was now asked to practice the art of power and strategy, it happened to be used on Xuanyuan Sword and Shi Hong.

Chen Hao rushed to Yongshun County with the thief, he wrote a letter at the inn, and then asked the thief to hide outside the county office. After Sanshengshi visited Shi Hong and walked out of the county office, the thief slipped to the yamen and threw the letter in. The official picked up the letter and quickly took it to Shi Hong, the county commander, who opened it and read it, and his face became gloomy.

"Lord County, Zheng Laosan, a bandit from Poison Dragon Mountain, looted a lot of gold and silver treasures and buried them in a hidden place, and Deng Wentong, a thousand households, tried his confession. The alien Xuanyuan Sword also knew about this situation, and he had been staying in Yongshun just to inquire about the location of the gold and silver burial, and the grass people couldn't bear to be deceived by adults, so they came to inform him. ”

After Deng Wentong killed Zheng Laosan, there was no seizure, and Shi Hong was suspicious, but there was no evidence, so he had to give up. After reading this letter, Shi Hong affirmed his judgment and believed that Deng Wen informed the whereabouts of the property.

This letter mentions Deng Wentong and Xuanyuan Jian, and Shi Hong judged that the part about Deng Wentong was true, so he naturally believed the latter part. Chen Hao made full use of people's habitual thinking, and after Shi Hong began to doubt Xuanyuan Sword, Xuanyuan Sword's efforts during this time were greatly reduced.

Chen Hao didn't know what Xuanyuan Sword wanted to do if he stayed in Yongshun for a long time, but because he had a grudge, he was happy to add to Xuanyuan Sword.

Shi Hong quickly burned the letter and instructed the officials around him; "Quickly prepare a car for me, I will go to the patrol camp to see President Deng Qian."

Chen Hao was in the patrol camp at this time, because the battle of Poison Dragon Mountain exterminated the bandits, the imperial court would send someone to record the merits, and he sent Deng Wentong a hundred oceans again. When the two talked happily, a soldier came to report that the county order was visiting, and Deng Wentong said in surprise: "Brother Baxian, how did you offend Shi Hong, why did you come to the barracks with your front foot and he followed him with your back foot?" ”

Chen Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly; "I don't know how to offend him, because I'm afraid that the adults will be embarrassed, I was very careful when I came to patrol the camp, Lord Shi shouldn't know that I was here, maybe it's a coincidence! I'll avoid it for a moment. ”

After Chen Hao avoided it, Deng Wentong quickly greeted him and said, "I don't know why Lord Shi came here?" ”

Shi Hongpi said with a smile: "Let's talk about it when we go in." ”

Deng Wentong took Shi Hong into the barracks, the two guests sat down, Shi Hong said lightly: "Lord Deng, the bandit Zheng Laosan has robbed several large families and taken away countless money, how many stolen goods have you seized this time?" ”

Deng Wentong said in surprise: "I have already told Lord Shi that day, the property looted by the bandits has been hidden by the bandit leader Zheng Laosan, because Zheng Laosan is dead, and the lower officials have not been able to find the property after digging three feet into the ground, why did the Lord have this question?" ”

Shi Hong said coldly: "Lord Deng's excuse is only afraid that a three-year-old child won't believe it, right?" The encirclement and suppression of Poison Dragon Mountain is under your overall command, so you don't have any clues? ”

Deng Wentong's face turned cold and said; "The officers and soldiers of the 1,500 patrol battalion can testify, I have been looking for a long time and have not found any property, why should Lord Shi speak ill of each other?"

Shi Hong's face softened a lot, and he said gently: "Lord Deng, Zheng Laosan no longer has a small amount of gold and silver, why eat alone?" ”

Deng Wentong's face turned red, and he said loudly: "What the lower officials said is true, if the adults don't believe me, I can't do anything." ”

Shi Hong glanced at Deng Wentong coldly and then brushed his sleeves away, Deng Wentong was so angry that he kicked over the case. If he really got Zheng Laosan's property, it would be good to say, he didn't have anything and made a fuss, so he couldn't help but be depressed.

Chen Hao walked out of the room, and Deng Wentong said hatefully: "Shi Hong is really too deceitful, he actually came to the door to ask for money, Zheng Laosan's property has been looking for a long time and has not been found, I am here to give it to him?" ”

Chen Hao pondered for a moment and said; "It's been more than ten days since the adults exterminated the bandits, but Shi Hong only came today, don't you think it's strange?"

Deng Wentong said suspiciously: "What do you mean ......?"

Chen Haoxi smiled indifferently; "Lord Shi must have heard some rumors here, it is estimated that someone has slandered and slandered your lord!"

"Smack"

Deng Wentong slapped his palm on the table and said, "If I let me know which villain it is, I will not spare him." ”

Chen Hao shook his head and said; "It's easy to hear! The adults only need to send someone to inquire about who has been in close contact with the county lord recently, especially if anyone has visited the county lord today, he will naturally know who has slandered. ”
