The thing that Shi Xin was worried about was that the princes who had originally agreed to appear the next day all failed to make an appointment, did not even say hello, and disappeared without a trace.

Originally, their plan was to wait for the sect leader to leave temporarily after the canonization ceremony, and secretly sneak back the next day, and after the beauty plan was successfully implemented, they would attack Dong Zhuoqun. You must know that the people brought by the princes are all high-level pulse masters above the sixth rank, and none of them are weak. This is a great force, because in terms of the number and quality of the generals, the state army is completely at a disadvantage, don't forget that there are still men in black who don't know how large Dong Zhuo is. Even in terms of military strength, it is inferior to the wolf-like Liangzhou soldiers.

If there is no strength of the princes' many masters, and only rely on the state army and the Holy Sect, this battle will be very difficult to fight, and it is likely to be completely annihilated, and the throne and Diao Chan will be taken. Therefore, the timely appearance of the princes is extremely important, and it is a force that can influence the situation of the war.

Shi Xin was a little big, he didn't know what the princes were doing. This was obviously a premeditated and very secretive thing, because Yang Xiu was in Cao Ying, and if he had decided before the canonization ceremony, Yang Xiu would definitely find a way to inform Shi Xin. There is only one explanation for this, that is, before the canonization ceremony, the princes had already conspired to discuss some things, and only the lord knew about it.

"Where the hell have they gone?"

Shi Xin supported himself with his hands, puzzled.

"The reason why the princes participated in this matter is undoubtedly for the sake of profit, and this interest is by no means as simple as protecting the imperial power...... Well, interests, interests ......" Shi Xin's head suddenly flashed, "The one who can give benefits to the princes is none other than the emperor." I heard that in order to drive away Dong Zhuo in the past, he did not hesitate to divide the territory to the princes. This time the action is much bigger than the last time, it can be said that it is a complete battle, there is no reason for Emperor Xian to be completely at our mercy, he must want to seek more benefits from it. ”

"Dong Lu killed each other, and the best result was, of course, a lose-lose situation. But it is more likely that there will be a victory and a defeat, so the one who wins will continue to control the court. If that person is Dong Zhuo, Emperor Xian has become a deposed emperor. Emperor Xian will never allow this situation to happen, and he will use all means to uproot Dong and Lu, which will require the strength of the princes. ”

"Even if Emperor Xian wants to use the power of the princes to eradicate Dong Lu, there is no need to hide it from me, after all, we are in the same boat and have the same interests. Unless......" Shi Xin's eyes suddenly became boss, and a bad premonition came to his heart, "Unless Emperor Xian wants to borrow the hands of the princes and get rid of me!"

A cold sweat broke out on Shi Xin's back, he had never been so scared, "Why did he want to canonize me as Shi Hou?" Of course, it was Sima Yi's suggestion, but Shi Hou is his own brother, so it is impossible to canonize it casually, and other Hou can also be." He didn't refuse, just to stabilize me and paralyze me. ”

"And this Zen Jean...... Zen let, Zen let...... Hiss~" Shi Xin suddenly gasped, "Could it be that Zen let this bait not be made by Sima Yi who forced Emperor Xian, but Emperor Xian took the initiative to put it forward?" No, no...... He wasn't so stupid, it was too obvious to do that, and he probably led Sima Yi to bring it up. Then why did Sima Yi do that?"

All the plans of Emperor Xian were certainly speculated by Shi Xin, and there were still many things that he couldn't figure out. But Shi Xin is sure that his guesses are not far from ten, and he is thinking hard about countermeasures.

In Sima Mansion, the old man of the fairy wind and bones talked to Sima Yi again.

"Zhongda, there's something very interesting, do you know who I feel in the palace?" the old man's smile was quite playful.

"Oh?" Sima Yi suddenly became interested, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's rare to see someone who makes Shizun pay special attention. ”

"Hey, hey, maybe you won't believe it. It turned out that all the princes who had agreed with Shi Xin went to Weiyang Palace to lurk. Moreover, some of these lurking locations, some of which I didn't even know beforehand, were obviously provided by Emperor Xian, and they were probably royal ancestral secrets, so they were quite hidden. ”

"All of them?" Sima Yi frowned, "Hmm...... Since it was lurking, it must have been for a sudden blow. At that time, all the forces will gather in the palace, Dong Zhuofang, Lu Bufang, the Holy Sect Fang, and the princes Fang, we ...... So who is the purpose of the emperor?"

The old man didn't answer, or he couldn't answer at all, so he just said leisurely: "Liu Xie is playing a big game of chess, this kid, the older he gets, the bigger his ideas." ”

"What else does Emperor Xian have in his hands that can make the princes desperately eradicate dissidents for him?"

"Yes, yes. The old man smiled, "At least I know that there is one thing, that is, his Liu family's lot of land." ”

He went on to explain: "Shixie's Jiaozhou, Kong Rong's Qingzhou, Yuan Shu's Yuzhou, Liu Yan's Yizhou, and Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou. Although these territories have owners, these masters are not capable, and the surrounding princes have long been eyeing each other. But they didn't dare to snatch it blatantly, and even if they did, it wouldn't really be his, because those state pastors were personally awarded by the emperor after all. Emperor Xian is still the nominal emperor, as long as he doesn't nod, whoever takes the initiative to attack is unknown. Therefore, Emperor Xian drew a trump card in his hand, which was the trump card that the princes most desired, the "justifiable" trump card. ”

Rao is Sima Yicheng Mansion is extremely deep, and he can't help but be startled by the old man's words.

"If Emperor Xian really does this, the Han Dynasty will enter a situation of warlord division and frequent civil strife, what good will it do him?"

"The benefits are naturally not only as simple as eradicating Dong Lu and restoring his free body, at least he has his own territory to develop, that is, the land of Sili. ”

The old man's eyes burned, "Zhongda, Emperor Xian's most trusted person for the time being is us, this is our good opportunity." Controlling Sili is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the Han Dynasty, and when the time comes, we can really rise in the Han Dynasty. ”

"It's just ......" Sima Yi raised the doubts in his heart, "We asked Emperor Xian to give Shi Xin "Shi Hou", and proposed that he make a plan, but I am afraid that Emperor Xian no longer trusts us so much. In order to convince the old man, he added, "Otherwise, he would have consulted with us about those conspiracies with the princes, so why should he hide them from us?"

"Zhong Da, in fact, Emperor Xian didn't fully trust us from the beginning, he just had to choose to "trust" us and use our power to eradicate Dong Lu. He is well versed in the principle of killing people with a knife and his subordinates, and if he meets a capable minister, he may be able to revive the majesty of the Han Dynasty with his ability. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ......hey

Therefore, we don't need to consider his feelings in everything, or even ignore his suspicions, as long as we are strong enough, he still needs to cling to us. Also, since Zhong Da mentioned the canonization of "Shi Hou" again, I might as well reveal some of my intentions. ”

The old man's eyes narrowed, and the image of the fairy wind Dao bone suddenly became cold, like a cold-blooded beast, "I just want to see the contradiction between these two people deepen and kill each other, hehe!"

Sima Yi maintained a deferential attitude, "I see!" He was not shocked on the surface, but he was secretly attentive to the sudden change in the old man's attitude, and thought to himself: "Why does Shizun seem to have a great grudge against Emperor Xian and Shi Xin? Is there any story between them?"

After brushing over the matter, Sima Yi changed the subject, "Master, this incident is not trivial, is our "corpse soldiers" going to be dispatched? Emperor Xian once euphemistically mentioned to me that he wanted to requisition corpse soldiers, but I refused. I think that the corpse soldier is so strong and looks so "special", once he appears in front of the public, he is afraid that it will cause panic, and I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain a low-key style in the future. ”

The old man nodded yes, "You did the right thing, don't you have a very necessary reason, the corpse soldier should not appear in front of the public as much as possible." This time, Chang'an City will definitely be full of blood, which will have a great tonic effect on our blood array, and the strength of the corpse soldiers can rise to a new level, haha!"

Shi Xin paced up and down the room, fidgeting. The whereabouts of the princes made him very worried, and the more he was sure of his guesses, the more he felt that he was just a pawn under the serial scheme, and his situation was in danger. But the arrow has to be launched, the serial plan must be carried out, and in addition to doing the original role, you must be prepared for it. Walking out of the room, he first went to Ge Xuan's residence.

"Xin'er, even if you don't come to me, I'm going to look for you. The stakes are high this time, and if there is anything needed, be sure to speak up. ”

Ge Xuan looked at Shi Xin worriedly.

"Don't worry, Master, didn't I come to ask you for something?" Shi Xin tried to smile as easily as possible to avoid Ge Xuan's worry, "Over the past year, Master should have saved a lot of Intermediate Cultivation Pills, right? If you can, can you give me some, hehe!"

The eight undercover agents Shi Xin gave two days ago were low-level cultivators, and they didn't come to get them personally. This time, I want to cultivate as an intermediate cultivator, of course, I can't fake my hands to others. In addition to cultivating as a pill, Shi Xin also wants to Kang Yuan Dan, supplement Yuan Dan, and get rid of the Concentration Pill in a bad state.

The effect of the pill increases with the alchemy and cultivation of the alchemist, and Ge Xuan's cultivation is mentioned to the sixth level, which is not unrelated to his own cultivation and taking the cultivation pill.

In fact, Ge Xuan had already prepared, turned around and entered the house, already with an extra burden in his hand, and handed it to Shi Xin. There is a lot of weight in it, and this is the alchemy achievement and painstaking work of Ge Xuan's ancestors and grandchildren over the past year or so. Shi Xin was moved in his heart, this is a kind of selfless love, Ge Xuan never cares about gains and losses to himself.

As early as the day after Ge Xuan arrived in Chang'an, Shi Xin went to the tomb of Emperor Wang Mang and took out a large number of spars. Seeing these superb spars, Ge Xuan could still restrain his excitement a little, but Ge Hong's eyes lit up, more excited than seeing any rare treasure. He took it with a cheer, forgetting to maintain a steady image, not thinking that because the spar was too heavy, he almost hit his foot and startled him.
