Chapter 576: Conspiracy
Tianqi Pass, through the palace.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"
An old man in his sixties with a goatee hurried into the study.
In the study, Long Tu, whose right arm was wrapped in gauze, was discussing important matters with a group of subordinates, and was slightly stunned when he saw the goatee rushing in.
"Master Zou, why are you here?"
The goatee didn't care that there were still many people in the study, and said hurriedly: "My lord, I heard that Xu Rui's Tianqiwei is only two days away from Tianqi Pass, but is there such a thing?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the study suddenly became a little delicate.
Long Tu waved his hand with a calm face, and a group of subordinates hurriedly got up and retired.
"He Gui, Gan Cheng, the two of you stay."
Long Tu pointed to the two closest to him and said in a deep voice.
"The last general (lower official) retires!"
The subordinates who were not named hurriedly saluted, slowly exited the study, and did not forget to close the door when they left.
"My lord, tell the old man quickly, is there really such a thing?"
When everyone retreated, Master Zou couldn't wait to ask.
Long Tu looked at his panicked appearance and smiled silently, He Gui and Gan Cheng glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but hook up a smile.
"What are you laughing at, say it quickly, the old man is in a hurry to die!"
Master Zou looked at the three of them, anxious and suspicious, sat on the chair, and didn't know who drank the remaining half bowl of tea in one go.
He Gui looked at the dragon figure sitting at the top, the dragon figure nodded slightly, and then seemed to inadvertently pick up the official document in his hand and read it.
"Master Zou, don't worry."
Seeing that Master Zou was about to go crazy, He Gui, who was five feet wide at the waist, walked to Master Zou with a smile and said unhurriedly: "Champion Hou has indeed arrived near Tianqi Pass. ”
"It's broken!"
Master Zou slapped his thigh and said hurriedly: "Xu Rui wandered all the way, as if he was reluctant to be separated from Princess Qixia, but when he came to Tianqi Pass, he sped up his speed, and it was obvious that the person who came was not good!" ”
Long Tu glanced at Master Zou and said lightly: "Xu Rui is the marriage envoy appointed by the saint, and it is the only way to send Princess Qixia out of the Tianqi Pass, why would Master Zou say that he is not good?" ”
"Your Excellency!"
Master Zou couldn't help but laugh and said: "In order to cover up the fiasco outside the Saiwai, the old man offered the adults a self-respecting plan to raise bandits, and used the 300,000 iron horsemen in the Central Plains of Wuliji as a bargaining chip to force the saint to throw a rat trap.
Fortunately, the adults adopted it, and this plan has already had an effect, even if the saint knew the defeat of the outside at this time, but because of the army of Wu Liji, he still didn't dare to take the adults.
But the old man had already made it clear that although this plan could be delayed for a while, it was like dancing on the tip of a knife, and the saint had suffered such a big dumb loss, and sooner or later he would try his best to make up for it.
Xu Rui was a young man, and he made many miraculous feats in the battle array, and was deeply appreciated by the saints.
This time, the saint was unusual, and he actually sent Xu Rui, who was ambiguous with Princess Qixia, as the marriage envoy, and nine times out of ten he had the intention of dealing with adults.
And Xu Rui's Tianqiwei traveled all the way, and he was still going around in circles in my Great Wei for more than half a year, but as soon as he arrived near Tianqi Pass, he immediately accelerated his trip, and caught us off guard.
My lord, the knife is already on your neck, how can you still be as steady as Mount Tai? ”
Hearing this, a hint of playfulness flashed on Long Tu's face, and he said with a smile: "Since the knives have been put on the old man's head, then Master Zou has a good plan?" ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Master Zou suddenly became serious, and his thin body revealed a murderous aura.
"This matter is your life and death, you must not leave anything to chance, according to the old man's opinion, it must be arranged in advance, and Xu Rui and his Apocalypse Guard must be ...... together"
At this point, his voice stopped abruptly, but he stretched out his thumb and slashed his neck.
Seeing this, Long Tu and He Gui and Gancheng glanced at each other, and immediately laughed.
"Why are you laughing again? Is there anything wrong with the old man's strategy? ”
Master Zou thought that the three of them were making fun of him, and suddenly blushed.
Long Tu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Master Zou has a lot of heart, the old man doesn't think this plan is inappropriate, but he thinks it's very good!" ”
"Huh?"
Master Zou was stunned for a moment, and the puzzled look on his face was even worse.
He Gui on the side hurriedly explained: "There is an old saying, heroes see the same, Master Zou, the adults you just said have already been arranged!" ”
"Really?!"
Master Zou was taken aback and hurriedly looked at Long Tu.
Long Tu nodded and said: "This is indeed the case, Master Zou is busy day and night for the things outside the plug, and he can't get out, because the old man has set a plan to eradicate Xu Rui and Tianqiwei without consulting with you, and I hope Master Zou will not be surprised." ”
"Your Excellency has sent an envoy to the Apocalypse Wei camp to invite Apocalypse Guard to enter the customs as soon as possible, and your Excellency is going to set up a banquet to entertain Xu Rui."
He Gui interface to.
"At that time, we will ambush five hundred axemen and a few masters outside the banquet gate, and we will rush in and kill them as soon as the adults smash their glasses.
As soon as Xu Rui dies, the Heavenly Apocalypse Guards will have no leader, and my hundreds of thousands of soldiers will rush up, destroy them all first, and then hold Princess Qixia in the palm of their hands.
When this matter is over, we will push this matter to Wu Liji, with Princess Qixia and the battle exploits of the Annihilation Apocalypse Guard as bargaining chips and Wu Li Ji, he will be happy to carry this black cauldron, and the saint will not be able to pursue it at that time. ”
Gan Cheng, who looked indifferent, said fiercely.
Long Tu looked at Master Zou with a smile, as if asking him what his clever plan was.
However, after hearing this plan, Master Zou shook his head again and again: "No, this plan is too dangerous!" ”
Long Tu frowned: "What is Master Zou's opinion?" ”
Master Zou said: "My lord's plan is very direct, but firstly, Xu Rui is cunning by nature, and he may not be willing to come to the banquet, and secondly, if he kills Xu Rui like this, it will be another humiliation to the saint, but I am afraid that this time the saint may not be willing to swallow his anger."
According to the old man's opinion, we might as well release the Apocalypse Guard out of the pass first, anyway, all the logistical supplies of the army have to pass through the Tianqi Pass, as long as we do a little tricks at the critical moment and delay his food and grass salary, we can quietly borrow Wu Liji's hand to get rid of this kid! ”
"Wonderful!"
Gan Cheng clasped his palms together when he heard this, while He Gui looked at Long Tu, obviously thinking that this plan was more secure.
A hint of hesitation flashed across Long Tu's face, and he finally shook his head.
"No, Wu Liji is now everyone's life talisman, the old man can neither let it grow bigger, nor can he watch him be destroyed, this matter is related to tens of thousands of lives in my Tianqi Pass, and there must be no mistakes.
Xu Rui is a scheming person, the Apocalypse Guard has made great achievements, once he gets out of the customs, there will be a lot of variables, the old man can't take such a huge risk, Xu Rui must die in front of the old man to feel at ease.
As for going to the appointment, Xu Rui is a young man who is ambitious and domineering, and he will definitely go to the appointment happily, not to mention that the old man also threw out a reason that he couldn't refuse! ”
"Why?"
Master Zou asked.
Long Tu sneered: "I heard that Xu Rui and Princess Qixia are in love, and the saint also intends to match the two, but who knows that Wu Liji suddenly killed and named Princess Qixia and kissed."
I guess whether it is Shengshang, Princess Qixia, or Xu Rui, they must be extremely reluctant to do anything about this matter, but they are helpless.
So as long as the old man says that there is a plan so that Princess Qixia doesn't have to get married, do you think Xu Rui knows that it is a Hongmen banquet, but he still comes hard? ”
"This ......"
Hearing this, Master Zou pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Princess Qixia is not only a woman to Xu Rui, but also a tool for him to cling to the Holy Lord, and it is indeed possible for him to take some risks.
It's just that compared to simmering slowly, the adult's strategy is still too risky, and the consequences are unpredictable, but now the adult has sent a messenger, and it's too late to say anything, so the old man will arrange it now to make things as thoughtful as possible. ”
With that, Master Zou got up and bowed to Long Tu to leave.
"There's Master Lao Zou!"
Long Tu also stood up and politely sent him out.
After he left, Gan Chenghu asked Long Tu suspiciously: "My lord, Master Zou's strategy is indeed more secure, and there is no future trouble, why do you insist on taking the risk of attacking and killing a prince at Tianqi Pass?" ”
Long Tu sneered, looked at the direction where Master Zou left, and said coldly: "The old man doesn't know that this plan is very risky, but Master Zou doesn't know the inside story......
Gan Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he remembered something, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face.
He Gui, who had already seen everything, explained: "After the incident in New Territories City, the Ghost-Faced Demon God disappeared, but Xu Rui was unexpectedly involved. ”
"So if you catch him, you will most likely get the treasure of the Eight Hundred Miles of Hanhai Gobi!"
Willing to take the mouth to it.
Long Tu nodded, and said fiercely: "The secret of immortality, even if there is only a chance for the old man, he must get it, so Xu Rui must be in the hands of the old man!" ”
