Chapter Twenty-Eight: Behind the Conspiracy

"You can see it clearly, but that fake Chu Zijie won't think like this, I'm afraid he wants to take advantage of the fisherman's profits, expand the territory for the Liuguo, and want to take advantage of the time when Beicang is late in sending troops to the south and flawlessly cares about the rear, capture Jian'an, and destroy Beicang in one fell swoop!"

After Chu Zijie heard this, his heart sank, and he suddenly looked up at Shangguan Jiyue, his face was solemn, and he said in surprise: "Is this true?" ”

And the masked man who had been sitting quietly on the side interjected lightly at this time: "I'm afraid things are even more complicated." ”

When Shangguan Jiyue and Chu Zijie heard this, they couldn't help but cast puzzled glances at him, but when they saw the dark iron mask on his face flickering in the firelight, their gloomy eyes only focused on the flames jumping in front of them, and they didn't mean to speak again.

No one in the cave said anything for a while, the silence was strange, only the flames scurrying up and down were high and low, and occasionally there were a few "crackling" sounds of burning wood, and a small cluster of sparks exploded.

After a long time, Shangguan Jiyue suddenly raised her head, her eyes like a deep pool bloomed with a rippling brilliance, and her little face and cheeks were crimson in the light of the fire, this appearance was really beautiful.

She looked straight at Chu Zijie and said affirmatively: "I understand!" It's a big conspiracy at all! From your assassination in Nanchi at the beginning and being impersonated, to the later imprisonment of the lord of Chu, and then to the dispatch of troops to Songtaoling, this is a huge conspiracy foreshadowing! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Zijie frowned slightly.

"Judging from the current situation in the country of Liu, now the state affairs are completely in the hands of that fake Chu Zijie, since he is ready to deceive and win the trust of Beicang, why should he send troops to Songtaoling, besiege the second prince of Beicang, and form a grudge with Beicang, isn't this a contradiction?" Shangguan Jiyue calmly met Chu Zijie's gaze and did not answer the question.

"That's true, so why did he do this?"

"Naturally, it is the back road for the Ryuk Kingdom to return to Beicang! When Beicang sent troops south, it was true that he surrendered and surrendered, and it was not false to let the Beicang army pass, and then he went straight to the capital of Beicang to build an an, but the most real purpose was to use the 100,000 soldiers of the Liuguo State to make chaos in the rear of Beicang, consume the national strength of Beicang, and make Beicang unable to connect the end of the end. The entire Ryuk Kingdom and the millions of soldiers and civilians of the Ryuk Kingdom have become an outcast on this chessboard, whether they live or die! ”

Hearing Shangguan Jiyue's words, the masked man quietly hooked the corners of his lips, and lowered his eyes to hide the emotions that flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, my father was right, if she was a man, she would be the head of the family.

Chu Zijie stood up suddenly, his eyebrows were raised, and he said fiercely: "This person has wolf ambitions, my country is the life of millions of soldiers and civilians!" How could he be like that?! ”

"With such a careful plan, I'm afraid that he alone doesn't have this ability, and it's just that the people behind the scenes are manipulating!"

"You mean ......?"

Shangguan Jiyue hooked her lips and smiled: "If the situation develops as we expected just now, only Nan Chi will benefit, and once their plan succeeds, even if they can't destroy Beicang, it will greatly weaken Beicang's strength, at least for fifteen years, Beicang will not send troops to the south again." But the country of Ryu is the one who paid the heaviest price, I am afraid that the whole country will be scorched and the bones will become mountains, and they will no longer exist! ”

Shangguan Jiyue's words were shocking to think about. Word by word, sentence by sentence, like ten thousand ice needles piercing Chu Zijie's heart, made him feel cold into the bone marrow, and even his blood was coagulated into ice.

His fists were clenched, his face was as pale as dirt, his long eyebrows were furrowed, and his gentle eyes were full of monstrous anger, and the raging flames in them seemed to burst out of the frame and burn away the evil people in the world.

After a while, the anger in his eyes gradually receded, replaced by a resolute and resolute tenacity, his thin lips pursed, and he slowly spit out: "It can't be like this!" Absolutely not! The army and the people of our country have always kept to themselves, and the people are simple, and they must not become the tools of others and suffer from this catastrophe! I'm going to the Imperial City to expose the conspiracy of that treacherous villain! ”

"No!" Shangguan Jiyue got up and stopped in front of Chu Zijie, "It's useless if you go, if you fake Chu Zijie fights back, you will only have a dead end!" ”

"Even if you die, stop his plot! Use my Chu Zijie's life to exchange for millions of living beings in my Ryuk country, and die without regrets! ”

"The courage of the horseman!" The masked man stood up, left the words, turned away, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Shangguan Jiyue looked at the direction where the cyan back disappeared, and was stunned for a while, this back was much thinner than the back in her impression, was she really thinking too much?

She smiled bitterly and retracted her thoughts, but her heart was still sour and unbearable, she took a deep breath, turned to Chu Zijie and said: "I'm afraid such a careful and vicious plan is not something that a brutal person like Situ Rui can come up with, there must be someone who gives him advice, this matter has to be considered in the long run, and it can only be done slowly." ”

At this time, Chu Zijie looked straight at Shangguan Jiyue and said suspiciously: "Zijie doesn't understand, why do you know Nan Chi so well?" And this matter is the business of my country, and it has nothing to do with you, why do you want to wade into this troubled water? ”

Looking at the undisguised suspicion in Chu Zijie's eyes, Shangguan Jiyue calmly met his gaze and said, "Of course, it is the person who knows himself and knows his opponent to live up to his trust!" ”

"Are you trusted?!"

"Yes!"

"Who?"

"I have no comment." Shangguan Jiyue pursed her lips and smiled, "However, the person entrusted with it also doesn't want to see the blood of the Ryuk Kingdom flowing into rivers and innocent people being slaughtered by war, so I will appear here." ”

When Chu Zijie heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he already understood seven or eight points in his heart. He glanced at Shangguan Jiyue deeply, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, bent down to bow to Shangguan Jiyue, even changed his title, and arched his hand, "Sir, do you have a solution?" For the sake of his father and the kingdom of Liu, Zijie is willing to do anything! ”

"The eldest prince is polite, wait for me to go back and think about it, and in three days, you go to the inn to find me." Shangguan Jiyue dragged his arm, smiled lightly and reached out to return the human skin mask to him, "You still have to wear this, they don't know you're alive yet." ”

"Everything is at the gentleman's command." Chu Zijie took the thin thing with a respectful attitude.

Shangguan Jiyue smiled at him, said "farewell", and turned around and walked outside the cave.

"Dare to ask Mr. Honorable Name?"

When Shangguan Jiyue walked to the entrance of the cave, Chu Zijie's inquiry came from behind.

Hearing this, she was stunned, unconsciously looked up at the boundless night sky, and after a while, she spit out two words: "Ah San!" Then he strode away.

Ah San, she is the third in the family, the eldest brother Shangguan Jifeng, the second brother Shangguan Jiyang, the third sister Shangguan Jiyue, and the younger brother Shangguan Jiyun. Yesterday's memories are still in front of us, but today's memories are like a lifetime away. Yun'er's whereabouts are still unknown, and she is the only one in this world.

The night is like ink, the moon is like a hook, Shangguan Jiyue doesn't know why today, I feel that this winter night is particularly cold, especially dark, as far as I can see, dead trees and withered grass, full of desolation......
