Chapter 971: Changing Friends and Foes
"Xiao Xiao's change caused Xiao Yixiao to have to send killers to chase and kill again, and this operation also completely dragged He Zhenzhi into the chess game." Situ Zhao said, "From the very beginning, He Zhenzhi was just a chess piece that completely obeyed Xun Tiansheng's messenger, Jin Xinxin chased and killed me, which was originally a number, but after Xiao Xiao was out of control, Xiao Yixiao had to shift our focus to Jin Xinxin in order to cover up his true motives. And just one Jin Xinxin, obviously the weight is too low, so Wang Binghao of Guanghui Group was also involved, and in this way, He Zhenzhi became Xiao Yixiao's pawn step by step. ”
In order to strengthen the centralization of power for Xun Tiansheng, Xiao Yixiao took advantage of He Zhenzhi's ambition to start a game with Li Rui. Even though we didn't know who our real opponent was at the time, we were forced to take it. It's just that neither of us showed our hole cards, but your Shengshi Group and Wang Binghao's Guanghui Group competed. In the end, we lost. Shengshi Group left the imperial capital and lost Shanghai, Guanghui Group officially entered the imperial capital, the Jin family became the leader of the four major families in the imperial capital, and He Zhenzhi's '38 series' fully controlled the imperial capital. ”
Speaking of this, Li Rui couldn't help but be puzzled and said, "Master, about all this, has Xiao Yixiao never shown any horses' feet?" ”
Situ Zhao shook his head and said, "In this world, there is no perfect plan. Xiao Yixiao's wishful thinking is indeed very good, through the two clever tricks of transferring flowers and trees, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, since he has covered up his intentions, and solved the trouble in Xun Tiansheng's heart, it can be said that he kills two birds with one stone. However, he was also smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and his ambition was too great, which led to his own exposure. ”
At this time, Qin Lingling said, "Do you remember Miss Jiang? ”
Li Rui was stunned and said, "Jiang Wanting, remember, what does this have to do with her?" ”
"If you don't say that Miss Jiang is a female Zhuge , it's she who first suspected that there was something wrong with this." Qin Lingling said.
"Master, what the hell is going on?"
Situ Zhao said: "Xiao Yixiao's ambition is too great, he not only squeezed out the Shengshi Group and realized He Zhenzhi's goal of actually controlling the imperial capital, but also focused his attention on Fengjun. It seems that this is a power struggle within the '38 series', but if you think about it deeply, you will find that there is a problem. ”
Li Rui frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "You mean, Demon Eye?" ”
"Yes." Situ Zhao nodded and said, "Wang Binghao entered Fengjun because the whereabouts of the Demon Eye were exposed, which is too unbelievable, as if someone deliberately gave Wang Binghao a reason. Although we didn't figure out Wang Binghao's true intentions at that time, it is not difficult to see from this 'surprise' that there is an unknown hidden secret. ”
"And then?"
"After Fengjun's defeat, I had to arrange for you to go incognito and send you to Haizhou. At that time, my intention was to investigate Bai Heng's true intentions through you. But at that time, Miss Jiang found Lingling and found me through Liu Xiao. Situ Zhao said, "How else to say that she is a female Zhuge , just by virtue of her relationship with Lingling, she can find me, she is indeed very smart." ”
"Don't praise her, I just want to know, what happened?"
Later, Ms. Jiang told me her suspicions and offered that she would secretly investigate the truth of the matter. And the direction of her investigation is very clear, which is the 'magic eye'. Situ Zhao said.
At this time, Liu Xiao said: "At the beginning, we were indeed deceived by Xiao Yixiao, because the 'Demon Eye' was indeed a member organization of the 'Countercurrent', so we lost our way, and we always thought that the current 'Magic Eye' was still a member of the previous 'Countercurrent' organization, and the result was that the bamboo basket was empty. We investigated a lot of information about the countercurrent, but after peeling back the cocoon, we found that none of what they had done in the past five years was directly related to the Celestial Empire. ”
"Later, we learned from the information provided by the inner line of the Demon Eye that the 'Demon Eye' has long experienced a split within the 'Demon Eye', and the current Demon Eye is a branch under the control of the mage, and it has long been attached to Xun Tiansheng's command." Liu Xiao said. 33
Li Rui nodded and said thoughtfully: "So that's the case, I understand." ”
"All of this depends on your confidante Jiang Wanting." Liu Xiao said, "If it weren't for him, we would probably still be led by Xiao Yixiao's nose now." ”
Li Rui said embarrassedly: "Eh, where did this confidante start." ”
"Hehe, still pretending, I'm afraid that except for the two of you who didn't go to bed, the others have already done it."
"Wronged, this is really made up out of thin air, I swear, I have never had anything to do with Jiang Wanting."
"You already know the rest of the matter, the dispute between us and Bai Heng in Haizhou now seems to be just a sandpiper and a clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman, Bai Heng's strength has been further weakened, and Xun Tiansheng's strength has been further strengthened. The controller behind it is still Xiao Yixiao. Situ Zhao said.
"However, Xiao Yixiao will not only let Bai Heng suffer, he did not directly participate in the 'lava operation', and pushed the responsibility for Haizhou's loss to the Ma Xinglong brothers, which eventually led to Ma Xinglong being unloaded and killed by the donkey, and ended up with a sad end."
Li Rui also sighed at this and said: "Yes, for all this, in retrospect, there are indeed a lot of strange things. ”
"After Ma Xinglong was ambushed, Xiao Yixiao stood up generously, planned the 'Volcano Operation' for Bai Heng, and directly used you as a pawn." Situ Zhao said, "The real intention of the volcano operation is actually very simple, that is, to use Xiao Xiao as a coercion to force you to submit, become a tool in his Xiao Yixiao's hand, and help him get the 'God of War Armor'." But on the bright side, he induced you to come to Shanghai, and got involved in the conspiracy of the Bai, Meng, Ouyang, and He families to strangle Shangguan Liang, and became a puppet in his hands, and once Shangguan Liang fell, he would move out of Xiao Xiao, use family affection to force you to submit, and obediently hand over Shanghai, so that Bai Heng took control of Shanghai without much effort. ”
Therefore, Bai Heng gladly accepted his plan. Li Rui said.
"Yes, it can only be Bai Heng at this time and completely led by Xiao Yixiao, step by step into the tomb designed for him by Xiao Yixiao." Situ Zhao sneered, "It can be imagined that once you defeat Shangguan Liang, Xiao Yixiao will immediately incite the four families to turn against each other, and when the time comes, Bai Heng's wishful thinking will directly fail." After all, none of Meng, Ouyang, and He are vegetarians, so how can they watch Bai Heng sit and reap the benefits? ”
"Even, it is very likely that Xiao Yixiao will incite the three families to join forces to attack Bai Heng, the most powerful, in order to eliminate the common henchman." Li Rui said along with Bai Heng's words.
"That's true." Situ Zhao nodded.
"Master, what should we do next? Do you want to continue to be an enemy of Shangguan Liang? Li Rui asked.
Situ Zhao paced in the forest with his hands behind his back, pondered for a long time, and said, "Not only must we continue, but we must also win." ”
Li Rui was puzzled, "Why?" Isn't this Xiao Yixiao's way? ”
Situ Zhao shook his head and said, "Xiao Yixiao's good days have come to an end, I came to tell you that you can let go of your hands and feet, and there is no need to be afraid anymore." ”
"Master, what do you mean by that?" Li Rui wondered.
At this time, Situ Jin stood up and said: "Your master has reached an agreement with Xun Tiansheng, we will help Xun Tiansheng sit firmly in the country, and Xun Tiansheng promised to disband the 'Demon Eye'." ”
"What? Cooperation with Xun Tiansheng? Li Rui was shocked, "Master, aren't you seeking skin with the tiger by doing this?" As long as we tell Ouyang Xin, Bai Heng and Meng Liang the truth, then the conspiracy of Xun Tiansheng and Xiao Yixiao will be completely exposed, and they will immediately become rats crossing the street, and their demise will only be in the moment. ”
Situ Zhao knew that Li Rui couldn't understand for a while, and said, "I know what you want to say, but things are not as simple as you think. ”
"What the hell are you worried about?" Li Rui asked.
Situ Zhao glanced up at the night sky, and said slowly: "I am guarding the 'God of War Armor', but I am also guarding the safety of the people of Dawn, once this conspiracy is exposed, Meng Liang will inevitably raise troops to rebel, at present, his army has been directed at Zhongzhou, and the swords are only in a thought." And Bai Heng is bound not to sit still, and the entire Celestial Empire will be involved in dire straits, which is by no means what I want to see. ”
Hearing Situ Zhao say this, Li Rui's face also became solemn, "Master, I understand that you are working hard, but I am really worried that this is aiding the abuse." ”
"Li Rui, don't worry, listen to the minister's words." Liu Xiao said.
At this time, Situ Zhaocai continued: "I know that this compromise may lead to a bigger crisis, so we must take Shanghai." ”
"Take Shanghai?" Li Rui wondered.
"Shanghai is an international metropolis, and it is also a place where soldiers must fight, and this piece of territory in Shanghai, no matter which of these four is in the hands, will lead to a complete change in the pattern of strength, so the best result is for you to control Shanghai."
Li Rui was surprised: "Me? ”
"Yes, Xun Tiansheng has promised that in addition to disbanding the 'Demon Eye', as long as you can eradicate Shangguan Liang, you will be the new governor of Shanghai."
"Why?" Li Rui was even more puzzled, "I'm here to be the governor of Shanghai?" That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”
"Nothing surprising." Situ Zhao said: "This is the only choice that we can accept for Xun Tiansheng. Shangguan Liang has long been anti-against Xun Tiansheng, and secretly communicates with Fusang Kingdom, if this person is not removed, heaven will not tolerate it. With you as the governor of Shanghai, you can avoid Shanghai being taken by Bai, Meng, and Ouyang, avoid a larger-scale struggle, and bring peace to the people, so why not? ”
Li Rui thought for a moment and wondered: "Wait, master, why are Bai, Meng, and Ouyang the three families, and what about He Zhenzhi?" What should Xiao Yixiao do? ”
Situ Zhao patted Li Rui's shoulder and said, "You finally came back to your senses." ”
Situ Jin said: "Since Xun Tiansheng has agreed to our request, he will naturally choose to abandon the car to protect the handsome, Xiao Yixiao is already an abandoned son for him, and he will not take care of his safety." ”
Subsequently, Liu Xiao also said: "At present, Meng Liang's army is approaching Zhongzhou, Xun Tiansheng is too busy to take care of himself, knowing that He Zhenzhi is unreliable, and Xiong Jianping has been reactivated, so He Zhenzhi has also become an abandoned son of Xun Tiansheng. ”
Some people died, but not completely......
