Chapter 169: Waiting for the Heavens

In the two years since Ji Chengying succeeded to the throne, although Ji Hanguang also knew that his eldest brother was pretending, he looked ahead and backwards, and was not decisive enough, and even many things needed to be solved by the queen mother, which made Ji Hanguang even regret his original decision.

The unification of Jiuyuan is the goal of the Ji family, and this goal is far from being achieved, although the southern expedition is victorious, but after the army withdraws from cultivation, the southern area that was originally conquered is only superficially surrendered, because Ji Chengying is unwilling to rule by forceful means, and believes that all parts of Jiuyuan must be governed in accordance with the customs and traditions of the place, otherwise, it is only a symptom but not a cure.

But for Ji Hanguang, the root cause must first be treated as a symptom, just like the current proposal of Sangluo, which completely woke up Ji Hanguang. Therefore, the people of the Xuan Department assassinated Nanrong Qufeng and Nanrong Zhongwei at the same time, and then waited for Nanrong's family to mess up, and then the imperial court sent troops to clean up the mess.

Sang Luo saw the killing intent in Ji Hanguang's eyes, and immediately said, "Lord Wang, although this matter can be done, it needs to be considered in the long run." ap.

"Think long?" Ji Hanguang looked at Sang Luo, "It really should be considered in the long run."

While Ji Hanguang said this, he was also thinking about what kind of chain reaction would be caused if he did that.

Sang Luo looked at Ji Hanguang and said: "As long as Nanrong Qufeng and Nanrong Zhongwei die, even if the murderer is not discovered, they will immediately think that it was done by the imperial court, that is a group of reckless people, for reckless people, they will not think too much, and they will immediately start an army."

Ji Hanguang nodded: "So, the first thing we have to worry about is the Shendu Army?"

Sang Luo said: "In terms of strength, the Shendu Army is definitely not the opponent of the Iron Guard, but the problem is that the Iron Guard is the only armed force of the royal family, even if the Iron Guard wins a big victory in this battle, it will cause the Iron Guard to be exhausted, plus to consolidate the city defense in the future, how to face the private soldiers of the Nanrong family under the city?"

Ji Hanguang looked at Sang Luo and said, "You can give an order to let all the provinces send troops, isn't the closest to the imperial city the Tiangan Road?" You can let the Tianqian army rush to help."

At this time, Ji Hanguang and Sang Luo are like playing chess, which can also be said to be a verbal sand table deduction.

Sang Luo said: "Nanrong's family is in trouble, and the soldiers are coming to the city, even if they send troops to King Qin, but is their real purpose really King Qin? Some of them are probably for the sake of making a fuss, some are afraid that they will come to the side of the Qing Jun, and more of them are probably to replace the Nan Rong family, and then it will be really chaotic."

Ji Hanguang frowned, returned to the table, stretched out his hand and pressed the thick stack of folds in thought.

After a while, Ji Hanguang turned around and asked, "What does the Great Strategist think should be done?"

Sang Luo looked at Ji Hanguang and said, "The minister thinks that it is absolutely right to capture the thief and capture the king first in the first step, but the retainers of Nanrong must clearly know that the death of Nanrong Qufeng and Nanrong Zhongwei has nothing to do with the imperial court, that is to say, while taking the first step, they must be given a clear target of revenge in addition to the imperial court. The key to defeating the enemy is not to be controlled by force, but to be mistaken by skill."

When Ji Hanguang heard this, he said: "That's right, the key to defeating the enemy is not to win by force, but to use various methods to induce the enemy to make mistakes."

Sang Luo said: "Therefore, the best way is to let the murderer be caught on the spot, and the identity of the murderer must be related to the person who was originally enmity with the Nanrong family, so that the Nanrong family will not target the imperial court."

Ji Hanguang nodded: "When they send troops to take revenge, it will naturally consume their own strength, plus those retainers are not in harmony with each other, and there is no one to lead them, civil strife is natural, and when they kill each other and are exhausted, it will be easy for us to find a way to clean up the mess."

Sang Luo arched his hand and said, "The prince is wise."

Ji Hanguang said with a smile: "The one who crowns the world is the great strategist, not the king."

Sang Luo said: "Lord, for now, we must be patient and wait for the time."

Ji Hanguang took a deep breath: "Okay, wait for the time."

——

Shendu City, Nam Rong Mansion.

Nanrong Qufeng sat on the top of the main hall, listening to the scouts of the Shunfeng Battalion of the Tianqian Army reporting the news, while Li Chaonian stood aside and listened quietly.

Nanrong Qufeng naturally didn't know that everything that happened in Liangcheng had a lot to do with Li Chaonian, and he thought that Li Chaonian had been assisting Nan on Nanrong Mountain these days

Rong Zhongwei, but he didn't know that while Nan Rongzhong pretended to be Nan Rongyuan and went to Liangcheng, Li Chaonian also followed.

The scouts of the Shunfeng Battalion of the Tianqian Army also inquired about the superficial news, and the details of the demon disturbance in Liangcheng were sent back by other spies planted in Liangcheng by the Nanrong family, some of these spies were just ordinary businessmen, and some were officials in the yamen of Liangcheng.

Therefore, as long as the news sent back from all over the country is synthesized, Nanrong Qufeng can know what exactly happened.

After listening to Nanrong's tune, he was silent, expressionless, and sat like that.

Li Chaonian knew that Nan Rong was full of doubts now, and he was naturally puzzled why his youngest son Nan Rong Yuankai, who only liked to travel in the mountains and rivers, would go to Liangcheng with the so-called goods to do business?

In the news sent by Liang Cheng, only a certain general placed in the Tianqian army knew about making a deal, which was also the reason why Nanrong Qufeng was puzzled, he didn't know whether he should trust this general. Because in other people's news, Nanrong Yuankai was not mentioned at all.

Whether there are monsters in Liangcheng, how many people have been killed by the monsters, and how much damage they have caused to the Tiangan Road, these Nanrong styles don't care at all, he only cares about why his youngest son appeared there? He wasn't even worried that what Nan Rong Yuan Kai was doing would make King Xi, who was in Liangcheng, suspicious.

Nanrong Qufeng knew very well that the imperial court would not dare to do anything to him, so he didn't need to think about it at all.

"Strategist?" Nanrong finally looked at Li Chaonian on the side, "Look?"

Li Chaonian said: "Master, the matter of Liangcheng's demon trouble is definitely not simple, but those things have nothing to do with us, as for why the second son wants to go to Liangcheng, I know this matter."

Nan Rongqu's face changed suddenly: "Do you know that Yuan Kai went to Liangcheng? Then why didn't you tell me?"

Li Chaonian came to Nanrong Qufeng and knelt down: "I also ask the master to forgive me, I didn't tell the master, because the master will not agree to the second son to do this, and he will inevitably send someone to stop him, which will hurt the second son's heart that wants to solve his father's problems."

Nan Rong Qufeng clenched his fists, suppressed his anger and asked, "What are he in those two iron cages? Who did he make a deal with when he went to Liangcheng?"

Li Chaonian replied, "As far as I know, it is through the Kang family in Liangcheng that they do business with the Tors Department."

When Nan Rong Qufeng raised his fist and was about to smash it on the table, he seemed to realize something, and slowly put his hand down: "Master, what do you mean, Yuan Kai had an epiphany? Or did he deliberately pretend not to care for the sake of brotherhood?"

Nan Rong Qufeng believes that Nan Rong Yuankai did this in the hope of showing in front of his father, because Nan Rong Qufeng's favorite child is Nan Rong Yuankai, not the eldest son Nan Rong Zhongwei.

Li Chaonian said slowly: "Master, the second prince is not a prodigal disciple, he doesn't want to be a threat in the eyes of the eldest prince."

Nanrong Qufeng asked, "So he has an epiphany now?" Figured it out?"

Li Chaonian said: "Master, I really can't guess what the second prince is thinking, but the second prince has already established trade ties with the Tors Department, and I have to say that this move is far more clever than what the eldest prince did."

After thinking for a while, Nan Rong Qufeng said: "Indeed, it is just trade, and nothing else is involved, even if the imperial court finds out, it is not easy to blame, but Zhong Wei directly handed over the army of the Tuo Si Department to attack the Rouyuan Palace, almost making us lose everything."

Li Chaonian said with a smile: "It can't be said that the second prince can now trade with the Tuo Si Ministry, and it is also thanks to the fact that the eldest prince gave the batch of armor armies to the Tull Si Department to rescue Princess Baomeng, otherwise, the Tull Si Department would not know that the artificially created Gui Armor can be so powerful."

Hearing this, Nan Rong Qufeng got up suddenly: "Could it be that Cheng Yuan opened the door to sell to the Tors Department of the Armor?"

"That's right," Li Chaonian's face changed, "It's indeed a decanter."

Nan Rong Qufeng frowned: "Strategist, you should know that this matter is important, why don't you tell me?"

Li Chaonian was still calm: "Master, Rouyuan no longer has a decanta, I believe you have heard of this matter, right?" It is rumored in the different rivers and lakes that Rouyuan's Armor has long been wiped out by the Beggar Gang Tianrentang, which also causes the Rouyuan Tuoersi Department not to know the strength of the Armor, let alone not

I know that the armor can be controlled."

The fact that the beggars helped Tianrentang eradicate the armor was just a rumor, and in fact, there were few people who really believed it. Because there was no incident of Guijia hurting people in Rouyuan, because Rouyuan is a grassland, a vast grassland, although the people there live in tribal groups, it is difficult for Guijia to hide in it.

Just imagine, the carcass needs to suck people's essence, and if you hide in the tribe and kill someone, you will soon be found out, so there are also rumors that there is no decaria at all in Rouyuan, and the cardiac cannot survive there at all.

Nan Rong Qufeng asked again, "So, is it the main battle faction or the main peace faction of the Torsi Department who is trading with Yuan Kai?"

Li Chaonian shook his head: "My subordinates don't know, and this matter is not important."

Nanrong Qufeng frowned: "Why isn't it important?"

Li Chaonian said with a smile: "Master, if Rouyuan reappears in the Guijia, and the only one in the world who can control the Guijia is the Nanrong family, then whether they will be the main battle or the main peace, it is not up to us to decide, this is what the second prince thinks."

When Nan Rongqu heard this, his face, which was originally full of nervousness and doubt, stretched and became relaxed, and a smile resurfaced on his face.

Nan Rong couldn't help but say: "Yuan Kai is really smart, and he knows that with the help of his eldest brother, if this is a brother competition, then Zhong Wei will be regarded as losing."

Li Chaonian hurriedly said: "Master, don't spread this word, according to the rules, the ruler should be inherited by the eldest son, your words will make the retainers misunderstand that you want to change the second son, I am afraid that there will be changes, and with the character of the eldest son, ......

Li Chaonian didn't continue, Nan Rong Qufeng of course knew what Nan Rong Zhongwei would do, but he really liked his second son Nan Rong Yuankai more than his eldest son Nan Rong Zhongwei, and he even really wanted to change Nan Rong Yuankai as the heir.

Nan Rong Qufeng nodded slowly, "Since it's okay, then just follow the plan."

Li Chaonian said: "The master can be at ease, just wait for the time."

Hearing this, Nan Rong Qufeng muttered, "Yes, wait for the time."
