Chapter 642 Scheming

Seeing that although Xin Jiyao was seriously injured, he was not worried about his life, and Shangguan Xiu was relieved. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

He sat for a while, saw Xin Jiyao's tired face, and got up to say goodbye to her. Xin Jiyao asked weakly, "Shangguan, are you going to go back now?" ”

"No need, in Turana, I'm afraid I'll have my life to sleep, but I won't have the life to get up. Shangguan Xiu said half-jokingly, "You take good care of your injuries, I think, it is not far from the time when the Besa army will counterattack." ”

"You have to be careful during this time. Xin Jiyao said with concern, and while speaking, she subconsciously looked out of the door and reminded: "Also, try to stay away from the Besa people, don't be used and framed by them." ”

Shangguan Xiu glanced at her with a smile, you better take care of yourself first! He muttered in his heart, didn't say anything more, waved his hand casually, turned around and walked out.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu walk out of the door, Xin Jiyao slowly closed her eyes.

Ji Zheng sent Shangguan Xiu out of the City Lord's Mansion on her behalf. Before parting, Ji Zheng apologized again to Shangguan Xiu for the assassination incident, who smiled nonchalantly and left with the saint and three retinues. Ji Zheng returned to the inner room of the City Lord's Mansion, Xin Jiyao looked at her, and asked weakly, "Is Shangguan Xiu gone?"

"It's gone, General. Ji Zhengbi replied respectfully. Kneel and beg for a hundred eyes to sing

"Hmm. Xin Jiyao replied softly, and then she suddenly lifted the quilt and jumped up from the bed. Looking at the swiftness of her movements, where is there still a little bit of serious injury?

A guard brought over a basin of water, and Xin Jiyao quickly washed his face, revealing a small face carved in pink and jade, red and fluttering, with two eyes, full of energy and shining. She took a handkerchief from the guard's hand, wiped her face, and said with a sneer: "If I don't pretend to be sick, Shangguan Xiu will definitely not want to join forces with our army, with his person, he will inevitably lead the army deep into the hinterland of Besa, and throw the defense of Turana and Navia to our army, so that our army can fight with the main force of the Besa army alone!"

"Seeing that the general is seriously ill, Shangguan Xiu won't do this?" Ji Zheng asked cautiously.

Xin Jiyao smiled and said: "Although Shangguan Xiu is cunning and has no merit, at least he is still a trustworthy person, since he said just now that he is willing to join forces with our army, then he will definitely do it!"

The most critical point is that if he was not injured, the Zhengxi Army was fully capable of resisting the counterattack of the Besa Army alone and holding the two cities of Turana and Navia, but now that he was injured and bedridden, the Zhengxi Army would have lost the ability to resist the counterattack of the Besa Army alone, and Shangguanxiu, who was bent on fighting in the hinterland of Besa, certainly did not want to see the main force of the Besa Army break through Turana and Navia and withdraw from Duki to Besa, which caused him to worry.

While the two of them were talking, a young woman in her twenties wearing a Ningnan military uniform walked in from outside, and when she approached Xin Jiyao, she knelt on one knee, intervened in the salute, and whispered: "The subordinates are not doing well, and I ask the general to forgive me!"

Seeing this young woman, and then looking at her dress, Ji Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, and thought about it, and suddenly she understood that the person who assassinated Shangguanxiu was not a spy who mixed into her own side at all, but was actually assigned by Xin Jiyao.

Xin Jiyao stood there, her eyes lowered, staring at the young woman kneeling in front of her, and said expressionlessly: "I can't do such a small thing, what's the use of me raising you?"

The young woman's body shook, her head hung lower, and she said in a trembling voice: "The general is angry, and his subordinates can ...... again."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xin Jiyao interrupted coldly: "Opportunity, there is only one opportunity, if you grasp it, you are a hero, if you fail to grasp it, you are a sinner!"

The young woman's cold sweat flowed out, and she knelt on the ground, not daring to gasp more. Xin Jiyao didn't speak again, just stared at her with a cold gaze.

Quiet, the room was silent, it seemed that even the air was about to freeze, and even Ji Zheng on the side felt out of breath. I don't know how long it took, Xin Jiyao, who had an ugly face and sharp eyes, finally said slowly: "You, go out!"

"General Xie is not to blame, his subordinates are retiring!" the young woman was relieved when she heard this, bowed her head forward, and then stood up, bowed, and retreated outside step by step.

As soon as she left, Ji Zheng couldn't wait to ask, "General, since we still need Shangguan Xiu now, why does the general still kill him?"

Xin Jiyao glanced at Ji Zheng deeply, the corners of his mouth rose, and he snorted faintly, and said: "You should have read a series of battle reports after the Zhenjun army entered Besa, its combat power is not what it used to be, Shangguan Xiu is too much of a threat to our country, and the significance of getting rid of him is no less than winning the Besa army in this national war." Compared with the role of Shangguan Xiu being alive, the benefits brought to us by his death are greater. It's a pity that this operation was not successful, and there are even more powerful masters around Shangguan Xiu!"

There is no factional dispute within the Zhengxi Group Army at all, if there are factions, there is only one faction, that is, Xin Jiyao's faction, and the main generals of the whole army are Xin Jiyao's henchmen.

Xin Jiyao calculated very well, she is now 'seriously injured and bedridden', even if Shangguan Xiu is assassinated in her own territory, she can also push the matter on the spy, and then hand over a few people to take the blame.

But what she never expected was that there was an unfathomable Besa woman by Shangguan Xiu's side who saved Shangguan Xiu at a critical moment.

As for this mysterious Besa woman, the Xin family's intelligence network was unaware of it, and did not hear any wind at all, as if she had jumped out of a crack in the stone.

Gina! Where the hell did you come from! Xin Jiyao narrowed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and said sideways: "Xuan Ming, Xuan Ghost!"

"Subordinates are here!" As two black shadows flashed, there were two more black-clothed men with ghost masks in front of Xin Jiyao. Xin Jiyao had a cold face, put her hands behind her back, and said in a condensed voice: "Immediately start to investigate, and find out the woman next to Shangguan Xiu for me! Even if it is the eighteenth generation of her ancestors, I will look at them one by one!"

"Subordinates understand! Subordinates retire!" The two men in black both agreed, and walked out quickly.

Let's say that Shangguan Xiu and the Holy Maiden and others left Turana smoothly, and on the way back to Navia, the Holy Maiden suddenly said, "She is not injured. ”

"What?" For her inexplicable words, Shangguan Xiu didn't understand a little, and looked at her puzzled.

The saint smiled lightly and said, "I said, General Xin's injury was deliberately faked by her! Her breath is steady, her pulse beats strongly, her body is full of spiritual energy, and her spirit is full!"

Shangguan Xiu was stunned, he didn't have to ask how the saint saw this, since the saint was willing to say so, there must be no mistake. He narrowed his eyes and muttered, "She's not hurt......?"

The holy woman glanced at him, giggled, and said, "Are you so used to random changes that you have forgotten that there is such a skill as disguise in the world?"

"And ...... her coughing up blood?"

"It could be that she bit the tip of her tongue, or maybe she drank not water, but fruit pulp, which turned red when it met saliva. In short, there are many possibilities!" the saint shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently.

Shangguan Xiu is not a fool, after receiving the reminder of the saint, he pondered it carefully, and his heart suddenly brightened.

He said leisurely: "This cunning woman! She deliberately pretended to be seriously wounded, and her purpose was to drag our army in Navia, so that she could withstand the counterattack of the Besa army!"

The saintess didn't know anything about military affairs, and she didn't understand what Shangguan Xiu said. She shrugged and didn't answer. Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled, and he said in a firm tone: "The assassin who assassinated me just now was sent by Xin Jiyao! If you can kill me, it is naturally the best, in the future, General Ningnan will have one less huge threat, and she can't kill me, so she can also use the strength of our army to help her join forces to resist the Besa army." Xin Jiyao, this woman, has been calculated to the bones!"

Hearing his words, the holy woman couldn't help but burst out laughing, and she said lightly: "I thought you two had a good relationship!"

"It has never been good before, and in the future, it will not be even better!" If Xin Jiyao treated him sincerely, he might really consider doing a joint defense with the Zhengxi Group Army to resist the counterattack of the Besa Army, but now, he has no such thoughts at all.

To make a long story short, Shangguan Xiu, the Holy Maiden and others rushed back to Navia overnight, and after entering the City Lord's Mansion, it was already late at night, and Shangguan Xiu summoned the main generals of the Chinese army overnight to the City Lord's Mansion Hall for a meeting.

The participants included the military advisor Meng Qiuchen, the commanders of the Fourth Army, Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong, Hu Chong, An Yifu, and the deputy commanders and generals under the command of the four people.

After everyone arrived, the huge hall of the City Lord's Mansion was already overcrowded. All the chairs on all sides have been removed, and in the center is a large table made up of four small tables, on which is a large map of Besa.

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Shangguan Xiu told everyone about his trip to Turana this time. After hearing this, everyone present was filled with righteous indignation, and at the same time, the eyes of the saint changed at the same time.

In the past, everyone didn't trust this Besa woman who suddenly appeared next to Shangguan Xiu, but this time she was able to save Shangguan Xiu at the last moment, at least it can prove that she is indeed safe and reliable.

Guangfang stomped his foot fiercely and said loudly: "I have long seen that Xin Jiyao, this woman is not a good thing, this time she pretended to be sick, in order to trick Brother Xiu into going to Turana, she sent someone to assassinate in secret!"

Meng Qiuchen said faintly: "The assassination is a purpose, and the joint defense with our army is also a purpose, Xin Jiyao pretended to be seriously ill, so no matter whether the assassination was successful or not, she could easily get out and finally achieve the result she wanted!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Shangguan Xiu and said, "Your Excellency doesn't plan to join forces with the Western Army to defend Navia and Turana now, right?"
