Shendu City, the hall of the Shendu Army Yamen.

Nanrong Qufeng, whose face was full of anger, stood there, staring at Mu Yinghao who was kneeling below.

Mu Yinghao kept explaining that the Armor Monster that appeared in the Rouyuan Palace had absolutely nothing to do with him, but Nanrong Qufeng was angry, but he didn't say a word, and even that strange and weird smile appeared on his face.

When Mu Yinghao raised his eyes to see it, he was even more frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, as a retainer, he knew very well that once this kind of smile appeared on Nanrong Qufeng's face, it was going to kill.

But will it be himself who he killed?

Mu Yinghao said again: "Master, this matter really has nothing to do with my subordinates, I have already dealt with all the ashes of Zhang Haotian and Liao Ran after their deaths, and there is no outflow." ”

Nan Rongqu asked coldly: "The dragons in the Four Seas Inn, as well as the dragons in the underground secret passages of the Twelve Squares, have nothing to do with you!?" ”

Mu Yinghao trembled, lay on the ground and closed his eyes: "The sprites in the Four Seas Inn were indeed made by me, but the sprites in the underground secret passages of the Twelve Squares were made by Liao Yanqi, and after that, I really disposed of the ashes of those two people cleanly." ”

Nanrong Qufeng walked up to Mu Yinghao and shouted, "Then you tell me, how did the cavalry captain who attacked the Rouyuan Palace become a ghost!?" How did those soldiers turn into armor? ”

"Master!" Li Chaonian hurriedly walked in and knelt in front of Nanrong Qufeng, "Master is angry, this matter really has nothing to do with General Mu. ”

Nanrong Qufeng didn't seem to give Li Chaonian any affection: "It's all this time, are you still speaking for him?" ”

Li Chaonian said: "Master, I am not speaking for General Mu, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the Nanrong family!" ”

Li Chaonian's words are very serious, and they are categorical, in fact, he is reminding Nanrong Qufeng not to mess with himself, and at the same time, it is also tantamount to telling Nanrong Qufeng that he must turn lies into facts.

In fact, Nanrong Qufeng knew very well that this matter had nothing to do with Mu Yinghao, because Mu Yinghao did not have that much courage, and besides, Mu Yinghao sat in the Yamen of the Shendu Army before and after the incident, and did not leave for more than half a step. If he hadn't gone in person, the flag camp wouldn't have opened its gates.

Mu Yinghao did not go to the flag camp in person, and he had to let the flag camp open the door to let him go, unless he held a token, but Mu Yinghao did not have a token in his hand. Therefore, it is obvious that the only person who did this was his ambitious second son, Nan Rong Zhongwei.

But that is the heir of Nanrong Qufeng, he can't directly pursue it, he can only be angry with Mu Yinghao.

That's right, just to get angry, he won't do anything to Mu Yinghao, and at the same time, because Mu Yinghao agrees with and supports Nan Rongzhong's ambition to raise troops to overthrow the Dachang Dynasty, he will reprimand Mu Yinghao, which can be regarded as a reminder.

Nan Rong Qufeng pondered for a moment and then said to Mu Yinghao: "You go to inspect the city defense, and you also pay attention to the movements of the Iron Armor Guard and the arrest of the Yamen, and once you find any abnormal movements, tell me immediately." ”

Mu Yinghao immediately said: "Yes! ”

Before Mu Yinghao got up to leave, he cast a grateful glance at Li Chaonian.

After Mu Yinghao left, Nanrong Qufeng said to Li Chaonian: "Please get up." ”

Li Chaonian got up and said: "Master, although the Rouyuan Palace was attacked, even if the emperor knew that this matter had something to do with the Nanrong family, as long as we didn't make any moves, the emperor would pretend not to know, as long as we maintained this tacit understanding with the emperor, we would be safe." ”

Nanrong Qufeng naturally knows that the biggest problem at the moment is the robbed Princess Baomeng, as well as the army of the Torsi Department who is stationed in Valley City.

Nan Rong Qu said: "Where is Zhong Wei?" ”

Li Chaonian said: "The second son has returned to Nanrong Mountain. ”

Nan Rong Qufeng gritted his teeth and said: "Throw a mess away for me, but he left by himself?" Unfilial son! ”

"Master, it may not be the so-called mess," Li Chaonian took a step forward, "It is an indisputable fact that the second prince has established contact with the Tors Department without knowing from the master, but hasn't the master always wanted to establish contact with the Tors Ministry?" A fait accompli, why bother? ”

Nan Rong Qufeng nodded: "What the strategist said is right, even if Ji Chengying knows that this matter is related to the Nan Rong family, he will pretend not to know, otherwise, the Ji family will be attacked on their backs." Although it is indeed an opportunity for us to jointly send troops with the Tors Department at the moment, but our division is unknown, on the other hand, the Tors Department, they can use the princess to make a fuss, even then, for us, the time is not ripe, we must unswervingly stand on the side of the Ji family. ”

Nanrong's style of music is not stupid. Li Chaonian immediately said: "The master is wise." ”

If you consider it purely from a tactical point of view, if something happens to the Rouyuan Palace this time, if the Nanrong family adds fuel to the fire again, so that Baomeng cannot return to the Rouyuan, the Tuo Si Department will use the excuse to raise troops, and when the troops come to the Shendu City, the Nanrong family will come back to meet with each other.

In an instant, no matter how brave the ironclad guards are, plus those outside the palace are waiting, the army can directly set foot on the imperial city.

However, force is only a means to an end, and the most important of the ends is strategy.

Tactical success, strategic failure, is meaningless and can even lead to eventual defeat.

For the Nanrong family, if they want to succeed strategically, they must be justified, and on the land of Jiuyuan, even if they lay down the country, if they want to sit firmly on the country, they must rely on the bloodline of the Kunlun Dynasty, that is, like the founders of the previous dynasty and the Dachang Dynasty, they must find a descendant of the Kunlun Dynasty by all means, otherwise they will not be able to convince the public.

Of course, the so-called descendants of the Kunlun Dynasty is also an excuse that the symbol of imperial power on this land is not an object, but the administrator assigned to the Nine Plains by the Nine Heavenly Emperors in legend.

Therefore, the bloodline of the Kunlun Dynasty eventually became a symbol, a faith.

The reason why the Nanrong family can have those armors is entirely due to Li Chaonian, but even Nanrong Qufeng himself has not understood the ultimate secrets of those armors, but Li Chaonian told him that as long as he continues to study the armor, it is possible to master the absolute power that can surpass the Nine Plains, and he can also figure out the secret of the bloodline of the Kunlun Dynasty from it.

Why are there heterocytes? Why are the descendants of the Kunlun Dynasty called the Celestials?

Why are the aliens and the celestials not infected by the armor and not transformed into monsters, and what is the connection between the three? This is what the Nanrong family hopes Li Chaonian can find out.

Because if the secret of this is clarified, then can the Nanrong family artificially create the so-called alien or celestial.

Since the people on the land of the Nine Plains regard the celestial beings as beliefs and symbols, they created the celestial beings and controlled them.

Nanrong Qufeng thought of this, and said with a wry smile: "Now the belief in the land of Jiuyuan is not a god, but a celestial man, how ridiculous." ”

The Son of Heaven is not a human being, nor is he a so-called god, but a celestial man, and the celestial man replaces the god to govern the Jiuyuan human world, which is the fact that the Jiuyuan has existed from generation to generation since the existence of civilization.

Since man cannot create gods, why can't he create heavenly beings?

For Li Chaonian, Tang Xiaohao is the heavenly baby he brought back then, the king of the Decal Armor, and the savior who can change the status quo of Jiuyuan, but he didn't know that it was precisely because he helped back then that the identity of some people changed, and it also led to irreversible variables in some things.

Because if Tang Xiaohao is a heavenly baby, how can he be a celestial?

Fate plays so skillfully with all those who are in it.

"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning" is just an inspiring slogan, which cannot become a solid foundation for the final sitting on the Jiuyuan country, because everyone needs faith, but this faith cannot be an ethereal god who cannot save the people of the world from fire and water at a critical moment.

Li Chaonian said again: "Master, I heard that the horse has gone to chase the princess, then, now we want to grasp the initiative must pin our hopes on the horse, no matter what, the horse is your grandson." ”

Nanrong Qufeng actually had this idea for a long time, and this cunning old man also realized that he had been tricked, and he had been played by Tang Chen and Tang Xiaohao for eighteen years - if Tang Xiaohao was really a gentleman, a prodigal son, even if he didn't die in the surprise attack of Rouyuan Palace, he wouldn't dare to chase the princess.

Therefore, no matter what, he has to find a way to control Tang Xiaohao now, and at the same time, he must also put pressure on Tang Chen to save the mess left by Nan Rongzhongwei.

Nan Rong Qu said: "The emperor has issued an order to let Prince Xi take someone to Liangcheng to lead this matter." ”

Li Chaonian immediately said: "The emperor must not believe in the concubine, because the concubine is also your grandson in name, if you directly let the concubine receive the decree, isn't it equivalent to hanging a knife on your head?" ”

Nanrong Qufeng looked at Li Chaonian and said, "What does the strategist mean, fully support the concubine?" ”

"That's right!" Li Chaonian smiled, "If we fully support the horse, it will make the emperor think that the horse is on our side, otherwise why should we support him?" As long as the emperor doubts him, he will not trust him, and if he does not trust the concubine, the concubine will face a dilemma, he will either be a superficial disciple as before, or he will completely fall to us. ”

Nanrong Qufeng nodded slowly: "If Princess Baomeng can return to the Tors Department safely, then there will definitely be chaos in the Tors Ministry." ”

Everything Li Chaonian said was to guide Nanrong Qufeng to think in this direction: "So, at the moment, we are just supporting the horses, and as for other things, it is equivalent to making a profit." ”

There is nothing wrong with what Li Chaonian said, the Nanrong family was originally suspected, although Emperor Ji Chengying will pretend not to know because of the form, but he will increase his vigilance against the Nanrong family.

It is completely reasonable for Nanrong to support his grandson, but his support is to prevent Tang Xiaohao, who is blind, from falling to the emperor.

If Bao Meng returns to the Tors Ministry, even if Tang Xiaohao also goes to Rouyuan for some reason, the Tors Ministry's internal strife and the crisis faced by the imperial court will be temporarily lifted, and Tang Xiaohao's next fate will be handed over to Tianding.

There is a cloud in the book of war: If everything is unexpected, the heart will be shocked, and the heart will be shocked and the battle will be defeated.

Everything must be prepared for a rainy day, plan ahead, and a hasty response is a precursor to failure.

The book of soldiers is also cloudy: soldiers have innate, have opportunities, have pioneers, and have voices.

Nanrong Qufeng didn't realize that Li Chaonian was subtly changing his thinking, making him think that after everything was planned, the rest would be left to the Mandate of Heaven.

However, even if he is a sage, although he is not self-observing, he will set up a spirit to challenge the gods and beg for the destiny of heaven.

Leave everything to heaven, and then death is not far away.

Li Chaonian went around in circles to give advice to the Nanrong family, but also to help Tang Xiaohao, as long as the Nanrong family did not interfere, although Tang Xiaohao still had tigers and leopards in the next journey, there were no jackals.
