[210] Change of subordinates
Xiao Shizhu asked this question to determine whether the carrier pigeon was from the north? If so, then Changshan must have received a secret order from Emperor Xudu to find a co-worker, trying to provoke civil strife in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
According to the routine of Emperor Xudu, he liked to often secretly provoke unrest in a vassal state, or wars between countries and other countries, in order to weaken the strength of the vassal states and consolidate his rule.
Therefore, Xiao Shizhu guessed that the carrier pigeon came from the north, but he never expected that he, who had always been good at judgment, guessed wrong this time.
"Nope. The next second the man spoke again, affirmatively, "According to my people, the carrier pigeon comes from the west. ”。
"West?" Xiao Shizhu was stunned, and his doubts instantly climbed up to his eyebrows: "Juxing County?"
"Yes. "The fungus man nodded his head.
There was a quiet moment in the house, except for a few sparrows outside the house, chirping and jumping around on the eaves.
Xiao Shizhu, whose face was full of doubts and a little heavier, groaned again, pacing in circles in the room.
He secretly thought to himself that if he was from the west, it was very likely that his judgment was wrong, and perhaps Changshan was Wu Hui's spy.
And according to the national teacher Yingying, the Gonggong State once gave Wu Hui some cold snake grass juice to poison Zhu Rong, forcing Changqin to withdraw his troops and return to China for funeral.
In exchange, Wu Hui provided the Gonggong State with information on Changqin's troops, weapon configuration, and even told the Gonggong about Xiao Shizhu's plan.
And according to the latest situation reported by the secret agents of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, there was a battle for the throne in Zhurong Kingdom. Wu Hui and Changqin, in the capital Bifang City, fought in the dark.
The cause seems to be Wu Hui's attempted murder of Changqin, and Changqin discovers that his father was poisoned by Wu Hui.
It can be seen that Wu Hui is a very ambitious and scheming human soul, in order to seize the royal power, he must have taken great pains to install his own people in all major departments of Zhurong Kingdom.
Combined with the fact that the carrier pigeon came from the west, it is not impossible to say that Changshan was the secret agent he placed next to Changqin, but Changshan was too well hidden and trusted by Changqin, so he was left by Xiao Shizhu's side by mistake.
This is the scene on the day when he entered the Yuque City, Changshan invited Xiao Shizhu to enter the urn and publicly denounced the Emperor Xudu, intending to seize Xiao Shizhu's handle.
It's a pity that Xiao Shizhu was not fooled, but was wary of Changshan and sent someone to monitor him. As a result, Changshan's movements were also restricted, and it was quiet for a while. Now, he moved again, although Xiao Shizhu's face was still calm, the nerves in his entire body were completely tensed.
"What did they say after they met?" Xiao Shizhu suddenly stopped and asked.
He said a few polite words, and then said to the co-workers, are you willing to die like this?" After a little recollection, the fungus man said: "The co-workers said that he was unwilling but there was no way, he chose to conform to the will of heaven; Changshan wanted to say something, so Gonggong took the hat to go fishing and ignored him. ”。
"It seems that the co-workers can still carry it clearly. Xiao Shizhu bowed his head slightly, and said categorically: "Immediately notify Lu Wu and secretly arrest Changshan." It is necessary to do not show the slightest rumor, and not let any of the ghosts of the clans and clans who stay in the Nine Shadows country find out. In addition, the people of the Zhurong clan should be strengthened to be vigilant and tight inside. ”。
"No. The matter of stalking, rest assured to be handled by our fungus people. The fungus man patted his chest and said, "I guarantee that if they have any troubles, you can know the first time, the king." ”。
"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu nodded, and after thinking for a while, he asked again: "I am selecting a few elite fungus people to enter Zhu Rongguo to investigate the situation of the long qin." ”。 After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Qin Yuan and the fungus people to take their seats first.
Ruyu in the painting naturally listened to everything clearly, and after a little thought, the two eyebrows inadvertently frowned slightly: "Is the king worried that Changqin will lose the battle?"
"Mom!" Xiao Shizhu didn't say anything, and the fungus man who was seated with Qin Yuan looked at Ruyu and shouted: "It turns out that this painting can speak, is she the legendary soul in the painting?"
"Do you also know the soul in the painting?" Xiao Shizhu asked lightly, and as he spoke, he walked to his main seat and sat down.
"Gotta know. The fungus man was a little proud, raised his head slightly and said loudly: "Although we are not of the same race, we are all spirits, how can we ......."
"I do worry about Changqin, and it's not just out of friend's morality. Under Qin Yuan's glare, the fungus man also found that he was talking again, so he hurriedly shut up, and quietly listened to Xiao Shizhu turn around and smile at Ruyu: "He governs the country well, but he can't fight; I'm sure Changqin will lose this battle!".
Although Xiao Shizhu's tone was flat, Qin Yuan and the fungus people were still suffocated after hearing this, and they didn't talk again. Once again, the room was surrounded by silence.
They couldn't understand that Changqin had 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands, not to mention, and was the orthodox heir to the throne, which belonged to Youdao, and Wu Hui lost his conscience, even poisoned his own brother, and wanted to kill even his nephew, which belonged to the Tao. There is a way to fight and there is no way, and it should be a way to defeat and a way to win.
"You must be thinking, Changqin beat Wu Hui, there is a way to fight and there is no way, why do you still lose, right?" After a while, Xiao Shizhu saw what they were thinking from the doubts on their faces, sneered, and sneered: "In this world, victory or defeat has never had anything to do with the lack of way. If the two armies face each other, and if you say that you have a way and you have a reason, will the enemy lay down his arms and surrender? Besides, you might as well take out Youdao and see how much this so-called Youdao is worth? Or is it worth 100,000 soldiers?
"All the ways can only bring a certain victory to the war, but not all of them. Xiao Shizhu raised his hand and pointed to his head, and added: "And it is by no means all the factors that win the war. ”。
As soon as these words came out, the other ghosts were slightly stunned, although this was the first time they had heard this remark, they couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, but they were also speechless.
As Xiao Shizhu said, the reality is like this; there are many ghosts with Taoism, but they are still oppressed by other ghosts without Taoism all their lives. The most obvious is the Emperor Xudu. This thing has been unprincipled for thousands of years, and it is still as stable as Mount Tai in the underworld.
After thinking about this, they felt a lot more relieved, and at the same time, their admiration for Xiao Shizhu was a little more.
"Once Changqin is defeated, if he is still alive, he will definitely escape. After Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment, he held the five fingers of his right hand holding the teacup on the table in front of him, quietly clenched and loosened, and said in a low voice: "He will find a foothold, and then think about it in the long run, but in the huge underworld, where can he flee to a prince of a dead country?"
His expression was solemn, as if he was talking to himself.
"He has only one place to flee. Immediately after, without waiting for him to talk, he suddenly slapped the case and said again: "It's my Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。
The fungus people and Ruyu were all shocked.
"Wouldn't that be more troublesome?" Qin Yuan pondered for a while, then lowered his head slightly and said thoughtfully: "Once Wu Hui becomes the new Fire King, he will definitely refuse to spare him; But if we don't hand him over, our country and Zhurong will have a war. And if we hand over the piano, we will become a country of faithlessness again. The ghosts of the underworld will think that you are a cowardly and fearful coward. ”。
"Well, so Wu Hui definitely won't let him die. Qin Yuan's words woke up Xiao Shizhu, only to see him turn his head and analyze: "He will defeat Changqin, but he will never kill him immediately, but drive him into our country as a hot potato, and let my country be in a dilemma." ”。
After finishing speaking, he sighed softly, frowned, and closed his eyes.
Qin Yuan, the fungus people, and Ruyu all frowned, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom had just annexed the Gonggong State, and the land expansion was in short supply, so it was impossible to fight to the death for Changqin and Wu Hui. It's like a dead end, no matter which step you take, it's Wu Hui's benefit.
For a while, they were also anxious.
"For the king, when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, his face does not change. In the silence of the ghosts, Yingying's voice slowly came from outside the house. As soon as the words fell, she was dressed in white and holding a spirit snake staff standing in front of the door, and said leisurely: "Nine Shadow King, you frowned. ”。
"The national teacher is here. Xiao Shizhu said lightly, but he didn't open his eyes, Ying Ying's perception was abnormal, and her hearing was not weak, Xiao Shizhu's conversation must have been listened to by Ying Ying, who was resting in the wing.
Ying Ying nodded, crossed the threshold with light steps, walked into the room, and sat down opposite Qin Yuan.
"Zhu Rongguo wants to throw the Changqin as a hot potato to us, what can they do? Two years ago, the battle between them and the king on the sea left Zhu Rongguo's soldiers dead and wounded, and then they had constant friction with the Gonggong State, and the domestic economy has been declining. In addition, after the war, civil strife in the country immediately occurred because of the throne. The former tiger has become a sick cat, what is there to be afraid of?" Ying Ying turned her head and smiled at Xiao Shizhu, and after sensing that the other party had heard her analysis, her brows had already expanded, and she said, "The king must have a way, right?"
"You. After Xiao Shizhu pointed at her, he looked at her and smiled, and said: "That's right, he Wu Hui has a lot of appetite, and I, Xiao Shizhu, have a bigger appetite; Changqin is the orthodox successor of the Fire King, and there must be a mass base in the Zhurong Kingdom. If you come, you will be safe, why don't I take this opportunity to eat him Zhu Rongguo. ”。
"It's nothing more than a change in the affairs of the subordinates. Xiao Shizhu stood up, and the sadness on his face had disappeared with his brows.
