Dugu Ningke was the niece and granddaughter of Yang Guang's mother, the Empress Dowager Dugu, and called the emperor Yang Guang his cousin.

Because of his intelligence and sweet mouth, Dugu Ningke has been deeply favored by the Empress Dowager Dugu and Yang Guang since he was a child.

But in fact, the real Dugu Ningke died when she was one year old, and now she is possessed by a female demon sent by Satan, the great demon king of the West.

When the Red Demon Star crosses the sky, it will tear a hole in the Shenzhou barrier, and Satan has given her the task of expanding the scale of the rift so that the Western demons can invade Shenzhou in a big way.

If Yuwen Tuo could gather the Zhongjian Axe Pot Tower artifact to form a Void Array, it would be almost impossible for Dugu Ningke to find an opportunity to expand the rift in the process of mending the Traces of Heaven.

It's a pity that because the Eastern Emperor Bell has long been reincarnated as a human and lives in seclusion at the top of the Eastern Emperor in the Taoyuan Wonderland, Yuwen Tuo has never obtained any clues related to it.

In this case, Dugu Ningke finally had the opportunity to play on the topic, and she proposed to Yuwen Tuo an alternative to the Void Array, that is, the Road to Babel.

Six Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Beads were used instead of the Demon Refining Pot, the Tower of Babel was used instead of the Haotian Tower, the six-pointed star of the earth was replaced by the Eastern Emperor Bell, and the Pangu Axe was replaced by two Heavenly Dog Eclipse Suns.

Finally, supplemented by the Xuanyuan Sword that Yuwen Tuo himself possessed, he could open the road to Babel inside the Red Demon Star.

This scheme is theoretically feasible, but the Way of Babel is an exotic spell from the West, and Dugu Ningke knows its principles best.

As long as he can find a way to plot against Yuwen Tuo to take away the Xuanyuan Sword at the most critical moment, Dugu Ningke can use the divine power of the Xuanyuan Sword to manipulate the Babel Road, expand the rift in the Shenzhou Enchantment, and let the Western Demon Race rush in from outside the enchantment.

Dugu Ningke was vicious and scheming, in order to hinder Yuwen Tuo from collecting the five major artifacts needed for the Lost Array, she secretly did a lot of cruel things that could not be seen in the light, and also quietly prepared some killer tools that played a role at critical moments.

But in front of people, she is still the delicate and lovely Dugu County Lord, and even Yuwen Tuo has always been in the dark by the personality she performs.

"Dugu Ningke's purpose is very clear, that is, to prevent Yuwen Tuo from gathering the five major artifacts that arranged the Lost Array."

Lu Xiaomo rubbed his chin and groaned: "So, can we use the artifact as bait to set up a game to lure Yuwen Tuo and Dugu Ningke over at the same time, so that she can expose her true nature in front of Yuwen Tuo?" ”

Yongzhen nodded and said, "It is theoretically possible, but there are still many problems that need to be solved. ”

"Dugu Ningke may indeed be attracted by the artifact as bait, but she shouldn't go into battle to snatch the artifact herself, but will hide in the shadows and engage in some intrigues."

"In contrast, the people of Yuwen Tuo's faction are all from military backgrounds and have relatively upright personalities, and they are likely to become pawns in the hands of Dugu Ningke unconsciously in the charge."

There is a high probability that the situation Yongzhen said will happen, and the reason why Dugu Ningke has not been exposed for so many years is mainly because of her caution.

Demon King Qi's time was supposed to be a good opportunity, but Dugu Ningke prepared a disguise in advance, and in the absence of conclusive evidence, it was difficult for people to connect the fake Yuwen Tuo with the Dugu County Lord who was "powerless".

Similar to Lu Xiao's situation, Nicole, who was possessed by Dugu Ningke, was also suppressed by the Shenzhou Enchantment and could not use the spells she had passed down from the West.

Like Lu Xiao, she chose to re-study the Oriental Taoism, and achieved good results with more than ten years of secret efforts.

Coupled with the huge wealth in the Dugu County Royal Mansion and even Yang Guang's hands, Dugu Ningke collected a lot of magic weapons scattered all over Shenzhou on the grounds of curiosity.

really let go of the fight, her combat power is definitely stronger than the four major generals under Yuwen Tuo.

"How about this."

Lu Xiao thought about it for a while and proposed a new plan again: "Now that Yuwen Tuo is temporarily grounded by Yang Guang, if he finds traces of ancient artifacts, he should send his four major generals out." ”

"We still used the artifact as bait, deliberately let the subordinates sent by Yuwen Tuo get it, and arranged for Jing Qiu to fight with this person to reduce his combat effectiveness."

Yongzhen's face showed a sudden look: "I understand what you mean, arrange a group of people to deliberately let go of Yuwen Tuo's generals in the middle of the battle, Dugu Ningke is likely to take advantage of the other party's weakness and not to check the artifact." ”

"Let's arrange another group of people to bring Yuwen Tuo, or his most trusted subordinates, over to witness this scene with their own eyes and expose Dugu Ningke's true face."

The big picture of the plan is basically set, and the next step is how to fill in the details.

Before Chen Jingqiu and Zhang Lie rushed to Daxing City, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen further improved their plans during the day, quietly monitored the Dugu County Mansion at night, and figured out the rules of the guards in Daxing City patrolling at night.

In about half a month, Lu Xiao did find some clues in the Junwang Mansion.

Dugu Ningke has two very trusted personal maids, named Shan Xiaoxiao and Yu Chi Yanhong.

Among these two, Shan Xiaoxiao is sociable, she often goes to the mansions of various dignitaries under the instruction of Dugu Ningke, and has established contact with almost all the official maids in Daxing City.

This is a very large intelligence network, and dignitaries and dignitaries are not as cautious in their words and deeds at home as they are in the court, and they often leak their words in front of their families and maids if they are not careful.

And these after-dinner chats are often used by the maids as private conversations, and Shan Xiaoxiao has collected a lot of useful information with this intelligence network.

Yu Chi Yanhong's personality is more active, she is good at riding and archery hunting, and often accompanies Dugu Ningke to participate in the royal hunting activities held by Yang Guang on a whim.

Yu Chi was originally the name of the Xianbei tribe, and Yu Chi Yanhong did look like a descendant of the Xianbei people who were mainly nomadic in hunting.

When Yang Guang held a royal hunting activity, Lu Xiao stood on the high mountain outside the royal garden from afar, and he always felt that there was something wrong with this Yu Chi Yanhong.

Traces of Heaven is a game that Lu Xiao played many years ago, and the specific details have long been forgotten.

But he still vaguely retains some memories of these two maids, they seem to have a lot of combat power, and the timeline of the arrival of the Western Demon Realm seems to need to fight with them separately to snatch the artifact.

"The smell ...... Or breath. ”

Lu Xiao looked thoughtfully at Yu Chi Yanhong, who was receiving Dugu Ningke's praise: "A bit like Gu Yuesheng?" But in essence, there is a big difference. ”

Gu Yuesheng was a white fox who had cultivated for thousands of years and turned into a human, and finally became an immortal after hundreds of years of painstaking cultivation in Tianwai Village.

With this clue to work backwards, Lu Xiao vaguely remembered some memory fragments.

"Vixen?"

Perhaps it was the long gaze that attracted Yu Chi Yanhong's attention, and the body of the county lord's maid, who was receiving praise from the ladies of the official family, suddenly stiffened for a moment, and then turned her head to look in the direction where Lu Xiao was without a trace.

Although she sensed that something was wrong with her beastly intuition, due to the distance, Yu Chi Yanhong failed to notice anything abnormal, and there was a faint look of doubt in her eyes.

'Delusion? ’
