Chapter 518: Fake Spear and True Shield
Cheng Haofeng didn't react a little, and Hu Xianxian asked aggressively again: "You should have gotten the news around midnight, you know that the Cao family brothers will frame Wuyi, why don't you stop it?"
Cao Beidao should have summoned Cao Songlou with a spirit talisman to tell him how to decide the case, right? You can't come forward directly, you can always intercept the spirit rune.
If you say that you cut off the spirit rune for fear of arousing suspicion, you can also change the message in the spirit rune and then pass it to Cao Songlou. ”
Cheng Haofeng frowned, and reached out to wrap his arms around her shoulders, trying to soothe her violently fluctuating emotions.
She broke free of his hand, no longer concealed what she saw, and said directly: "I saw Wuqi following Cha'er, I thought you would help Wuyi after you got the news." If I had known this, I would have taken matters into my own hands! ”
After hearing her say this, he frowned, and then stretched out his hand to her: "Do you think I am willing to let no one guilt?" Don't worry, nothing will be fine, I'll just take care of it. ”
Seeing that her eyes were stunned, he chuckled and hugged her into his arms, "I thought I was well-planned, but I didn't expect to be deceived by my immortal, and I was shocked to ask questions." I thought they were the ones who gave you this information, and I thought they saw through my plan. It's okay, it was just a coincidence that you found out......"
After he said this, Hu Xianxian calmed down, believing that he would not be like those people in order to solve the trouble, and put all the blame on Hang Wuyi.
She snuggled up to his chest as he slowly elaborated on what he had done. After listening to him, she felt that he was really tired, although she knew that he was tired before, but this was the first time she knew how tired he was.
First of all, although Han Zexi is a Ziwei Xingjun who divides one soul and one soul and then condenses his soul with immortal arts, he is not a real Ziwei Xingjun after all. They are not close friends, but monarchs and ministers.
Secondly, since Emperor Deyuan, the imperial power has been hollowed out, and the reverence of the Manchu civil and military ministers for Lu Huanbang, Huo Tu, Lei Mad and other powerful ministers is far greater than the awe of the emperor.
Thirdly, Duan Mengrou, Fa Luo, Mao Riwu, Zha Cuo, Ghost King, and other hidden cultivator forces only temporarily recognized Han Zexi's status, and as long as there was a slight mistake, they would inevitably support their own forces.
Yes, Cheng Haofeng knew that it would be a matter of time before King Chengjun rebelled, but he didn't dare to let Han Zexi take the lead in cutting the domain. When it comes to cutting the domain, I am most afraid that I will be injured by the tiger if I don't succeed in fighting the tiger.
Because King Chengjun has a group of elite soldiers loyal to him, in case of a fight, he doesn't dare to expect Huo Tu and Lei Mad to do their best to save the king, relying on Han Zexi and Cheng Haofeng's own foundation alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compete.
The only team that can determine the royalist is Han Zexi's old department of Taixing Mansion, as well as Lu Kaizun, Fan Dingyao, Ye Guanying, and Zheng Tianba's little van army.
Lu Kaizun is mainly in charge of weaving matters, which is a fat gap in terms of money, but the teams of his subordinate troops are vulnerable in terms of combat effectiveness.
Some of Fan Dingyao's forbidden troops who "fell into the box" with him back then were elite soldiers, but the number was very small, and some of them were still in exile when he was demoted to Yuezhou, and it was difficult to summon them.
Zheng Tianba, Ye Guanying and some of the old brothers of Panlongzhai are here, and in the past year, they have secretly trained a lot of potters, post guards and other miscellaneous servants, and it seems that the troops under their jurisdiction are not much, and the actual combat effectiveness is okay.
Of course, on the whole, it is still much weaker than King Chengjun. King Chengjun also bought many strange people, and his mastiff guard alone made many people fearful. Because the mastiff is naturally a deterrent to beasts, the cavalry and the guards will fight against each other, and the horses will be in a panic without fighting.
When the two of them talked about this, they talked for a long time in the study, but no one dared to disturb them. The others prepared their own dinner and went back to their rooms to rest.
After understanding this, Hu Xianxian asked him: "But you let them decide the case like that, what should I do if none of them do?" ”
Cheng Haofeng took her hand and walked to the bedroom, and said as he walked: "After the big things are finished, you don't need to talk about some small things in the study, right?" ”
She did not refute, and followed him into the room and lay down on the bed. She pillowed on his arm and listened to him speak: "Cao Beidao is a person with great ambitions and talents, and he wavers among various forces. I originally thought that he would only slap his beard, but I didn't expect that what he wanted was far more than just the emperor's favor.
It was just an accident to drive away the tea and wine that day, but the next day Qiao Jishi pleaded with them after finishing the business, and I asked carefully to find out that it was Cao Beidao who asked him to intercede. Knowing the news so quickly, and being able to find someone to intercede so quickly, Cao Beidao is not simple.
Cha'er and Jiu'er are not only Cao Beidao's gifts to please me, but also the spies he placed beside me.
He can use Cha'er to monitor my every move, and of course I can use Cha'er to know his situation, and I can also give him some half-truths to confuse him. “
Hu Xianxian sighed secretly in his heart, the small conspiracies and tricks in the house fighting technique were useful for a while, but after all, they were just calculations without strength, not strategies to stir up the storm. In this little battle, the worst defeat was Cha'er. Cha'er is really pitiful, every step of the way is in the planning of others without knowing it.
He talked about the weakest thing in the army, and she remembered seeing a thunderstorm by chance, and she had a gut feeling that the arrogant man with a beard and a halberd was trustworthy.
"Ma Jundu Governor Lei Mad should be a person who doesn't care about personal gains and losses and doesn't pay attention to personal interests, you can find opportunities to make friends with him." She whispered as she leaned against his chest.
"Well, I don't know much about him, how can you be sure of his character?"
Hu Xianxian said that he happened to hear the conversation between Lei Maan, Guo Biezhai, and Ge Peidong, and he stroked her hair and said in a teasing tone: "My immortal has also learned to see the six ways and listen to the eight directions anytime and anywhere, which is really good." ”
She beat his chest half-ashamedly and half-angrily, and asked him worriedly: "If the relatives of King Chengjun put pressure on Cao Songlou and arrested him within a time limit, what should I do?" ”
"If the crime is topped first, people won't let them be caught. I will delay the time on the grounds that there is no one year and the teacher teaches and punishes himself. You live in Xianyunguan with peace of mind, and they don't dare to enter the view to arrest people. “
Since he said so, she couldn't raise any more objections. She slept next to him in a daze, but the uneasiness in her heart never disappeared.
"Mighty Wind...... Let's retreat from the world, maybe we'll find other ways to solve the curse later? We live so long, and after many years of life, a lot of changes will happen. ”
"Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. The safety of the world depends on the emperor, and to help Han Zexi ascend to the throne, it is necessary to help Han Zexi stabilize the throne. Listening to her, he replied with his eyes closed.
She shrunk into his arms and whispered, "Do you feel strange?" Yunhuaguan had seven truths back then, and it was said that they should all take the road of cultivating in the deep mountains and becoming immortals, why did they fall into the red dust when they went around and around?
Even the second senior brother, I have heard people mention more than once that he will eventually enter the mortal.
The matter of Hongchen and the matter of the immortal Buddha are actually closely related, right? ”
Cheng Haofeng was silent, tightly clamped her to his chest, and said after a long time: "No matter what God's will is, I won't let go." I want you to be with me, to be with me for a long time. ”
Speaking of providence, Hu Xianxian usually didn't dare to think about the eternal heart, but after thinking about it at the moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind: "You said that Cao Beidao swayed between several forces, and said that what he wanted was far more than the emperor's favor, and you also said that he was a person with great ambitions and talents, which is quite contradictory, right?" Well, I think you're misjudging him.
He maybe, perhaps, not vacillating between several forces, but wants to provoke a struggle between several forces, and the forces to which he is loyal have not yet surfaced.
I feel that he can be used by Han Zexi, but he is not loyal to Han Zexi. I guess, I guess it's probably ......" she glanced up.
She didn't say it directly, but he understood what she meant. What she wants to say is that the person Cao Beidao is really loyal to is the Emperor of Heaven!
"Yes! Do you remember what happened in the border city? I was originally going to the Black Dragon Temple to deal with the matter of the remnant soul of the Black Dragon, but I didn't expect that so many accidents would happen after meeting you again.
If it is said that the matter with you is unpredictable, then when they meet Azo, they are purely man-made. Let them delay my time to the Black Dragon Temple, only then did I see Mao Riwu and them, and only then did I lead the Black Dragon Remnant Soul to replenish the dragon vein to support Han Zexi's ascension to the throne, and we were pushed to this point.
When I was in the border city, I was still wondering, even you didn't know that I had a plan to destroy the Black Dragon Temple, who could know my plan and reveal it to Duan Mengrou and them?
With your reminder, these things will make sense. Cao Beidao used to know a lot about me through Cen Zaidao, but now they know a lot about me through tea. I was careless, just like the gods who were mixed in the Shenjun Palace, I didn't expect such a thing. ”
Cheng Haofeng was a little angry in his words, and his resentment towards Heavenly Court was obvious. Hu Xianxian regretted saying that he had speculated, and said softly: "I'm just guessing...... Cao Beidao I have only seen this person once, and I still sneaked a peek at it. ”
"You're a naturally intelligent person, with sharper intuition than we do, and that doesn't matter how much you're in contact with him. When I was about to die, the Emperor of Heaven repeatedly sent people to force me to be the spirit of the sun and moon wheel, and his heart was clear, so why should you cover it up again? ”
"Alas...... Haofeng, why didn't I find out that we had a lot of enemies before? It's terrible to go on like this. ”
They do have many enemies, and they can be said to have enemies in the Three Realms. In this situation, Cheng Haofeng actually hooked his lips and sneered.
Seeing that she was uneasy, he comforted her again: "Those things are too mysterious, don't think about it." First do the most urgent thing to stabilize Han Zexi's throne, although I am temporarily at a disadvantage, they can't do anything to me. ”
"If you want to gain a foothold in the world, then you shouldn't be the target of everyone, I want to take none of you out of Xianyunguan." She clenched her fists to cheer herself up, and only then did she dare to mention leaving again.
"I don't want you to be sad and worried more than many big things, so I don't want to say many things. With you by my side, I find it interesting to live. ”
"Flesh and ......" his tone was flat, and it sounded like a very sensational confession to her. Rubbing her blushing face, she said: "I'm not a delicate young lady, I'm a ruthless little witch, I have a better way to solve nothing." “
He looked at her earnestly, waiting for her to say the specific steps. She said carefully: "You only said that I absconded to you in fear of sin, and I broke off my relationship with you. I fled with none of them, you secretly protected us, and we secretly found out the real cause of my uncle's death and forced his family to admit the false accusation. ”
"It's a good idea, but it's all about you."
"It doesn't matter if it comes to me, there's enough to bring it to me anyway." She grinned, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Cheng Haofeng's brows furrowed, she pulled his hand, and said with a coquettish smile: "It's just a temporary parting, not to be separated forever." Please, let me do something, okay? I'm going to get moldy in the idle cloud view. ”
He sighed twice, slightly bowing his head to agree with her approach. She rolled over and sat up with bright eyes, and whispered, "Then we are going to prepare for a quarrel, and we have to find a reason for your refusal to shelter me." ”
