"Elder Zhu, will the three heroes of the Qin clan believe us?"

Late at night, after the three heroes of the Qin family left Yingtian Tower, Lu Yao, who had been silent all night, could no longer hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked the scheming Sikong Zhu repeatedly: "Since the prince wants the Qin family to help us sweep away our worries, why doesn't Zhu Lao go directly to Qin Ku, but instead find the three heroes of the Qin family? As everyone knows, Qin Ku is the upright head of the Qin family, and no matter how high and powerful the three heroes of the Qin family are, they are only a retainer after all." ”

"First, the three heroes of the Qin clan will not only believe in us, but will definitely do what we ask. Sikong Zhu smiled confidently, "Right now, the Hexi Qin clan has broken up with the leader of the martial arts alliance, if there is no intermediary to reconcile, even if Qin Ku carries Liu Xunyi's head to see Qingfeng, presumably Qingfeng will not forgive him for his rudeness to himself before." As for the middleman...... The martial arts factions were already merciful if they didn't fall into the trap, so how could they take the thankless risk of cleaning up the mess for them? Now except for us, no one in the rivers and lakes dared to approach the Qin family, let alone help them fight against Qingfeng. Therefore, if the Qin family wants to survive the crisis smoothly, they have no choice but to cooperate with us. Second, although Qin Ku is the head of the family, he is greedy for money and lustful, and indulges in lust, so the Qin family is run by the three heroes of the Qin family. In terms of the mastery and dispatch of the intertwined connections in Hexi, the newcomer Qin Ku is far inferior to the experienced Qin Sanjie. Qin Ku left the Qin family since he was a child, and he left with hatred, so his relationship with the Qin family did not have much affection except for the blood inheritance. Therefore, when he is young and vigorous, he often acts impulsively and makes foolish choices between the 'overall situation of the Qin family' and 'brotherhood'. If we go directly to him, even if Qin Ku doesn't refuse on the spot, he will disobey him. In this way, instead of helping us, it will add a lot of obstacles to us behind the scenes. ”

"What Zhu Lao said is very true, but it is just ...... What we did tonight is somewhat of a swedge to sow discord. Lu Yao carefully observed Sikong Zhu's reaction, and repeated words in his heart, "I mean...... After all, Qin Ku and the three heroes of the Qin clan are relatives of the same clan, and their relationship is definitely closer than ours. In case they are open and honest and confess to Qin Ku according to the truth, then ...... Not only will we lose all our achievements, but we will also offend Qin Ku. ”

"That's good!" Sikong Zhu said approvingly, "The fact that I can think of this section shows that you have made some progress." ”

"Xie Zhu praises it falsely, it's just ......"

"Don't worry!" Sikong Zhu waved his hand and said, "Before coming here, the old man had sent someone to repeatedly inquire into the details of the Qin family, and knew that the relationship between the three heroes of the Qin family and Qin Ku was not as harmonious as rumored by the outside world. On the contrary, since Qin Ku took office, there have been repeated disputes between them, and they have always been deeply dissatisfied with Qin Ku's actions, and even complained in public more than once that 'Qin Ku is bent on going his own way, reckless and impulsive, and sooner or later drags the Qin family into the abyss of no return'. This shows that the contradictions between them are increasing day by day, and now they have reached an irreconcilable and embarrassing point. ”

As for this, Sikong Zhu suddenly smiled slyly and said in a low voice: "Hugh looks at them calling 'family master' one by one, but in fact, deep in their hearts, they have long regarded Qin Ku as a loser who is greedy for joy and fun, and they want to drive him down from the position of the head of the family." Qin Ku has been alone all the year round, and has long developed a cynical habit, he is the head of the Qin family, one is to avenge his father, the second is glory and wealth, and the third is infinite scenery. He has been starving all year round, and he only cares about tangible benefits, as for the invisible things such as reputation and face, he actually doesn't care. In terms of attaching importance to the future of the Qin family, the three masters of the Qin family are far superior to Qin Ku, and they do not want the Qin family to decline more than anyone else. ”

"In this way, Qin Ku is just a fool and fool who is inadequate and scheming?"

"This is a mistake!" Sikong Zhu said in his words, "Actually, Gongzi doesn't want Qin Ku to be in charge of the Qin family. He hoped that the power of life and death of the Qin family would fall into the hands of the three heroes of the Qin family. Compared with Qin Ku, who has tricky and eccentric thinking and acts unreasonably, the three heroes of the Qin family are easier to control. ”

"What do you mean?" Lu Yao frowned, as if the monk of the second zhang was confused.

"Today, among the leaders of the various major sects of martial arts, our son is the youngest, even if he is more than ten years younger than Jin Fuyu, who was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, he can compete with those old foxes and sit on an equal footing. Imagine what will happen to the pattern of the rivers and lakes in ten, twenty, or thirty years?" Sikong Zhu asked rhetorically, "At that time, most of those old foxes will return to the west, and how many of the new people in power can be compared with our sons in terms of experience and means...... Who is in charge of the overall situation in the Central Plains Martial Arts, and who is in charge of the ups and downs?"

"Hiss!" Sikong Zhu hit the nail on the head, which made Lu Yao stunned and contemplative.

"Qin Ku is not stupid, on the contrary, he is extremely smart. In this section, through his lonely childhood, instead of starving to death, he learned a shocking martial arts with his own skills, and he thrived in the bloody rivers and lakes, which is enough to get a glimpse. Sikong Zhu's eyes flickered and darkened, and he said faintly, "The reason why he is unpopular now is not because he is ignorant, but because he has not yet opened his mind." Qin Kuchu was in charge of the Qin family, but he had not yet clarified the difference between being in charge of the family and being alone, nor had he learned the rules of open and secret battles between sects. But once he opens his mind, his power and means will surely advance by leaps and bounds, and he will advance by leaps and bounds. The most important thing is that Qin Ku's age is ...... A few years younger than our son. If he is allowed to make a fortune, this person will definitely become the biggest threat to Childe's future. ”

And so...... Gongzi wants to take this opportunity to strangle Qin Ku, the future hero of the rivers and lakes, in the cradle early. Lu Yao thought for a moment and muttered to himself, "Zhu Lao provoked the contradiction between the three heroes of the Qin family and Qin Ku, with the intention of forcing the Qin family to cause trouble against the wall, and even secretly fueled the troubles and drove Qin Ku down from the position of the head of the Qin family......"

"Exactly!" Sikong Zhu sneered, "Today's Jiangnan Lu Mansion and Hexi Qin Clan, one south and one north, are full of vitality, isn't it very similar to the Golden Sword Dock and Xian Wang's Mansion in the past? If we ignore the Qin Clan, maybe in ten or twenty years, Gongzi and Qin Ku will be the next Jin Fuyu and Luo Tianjin." Therefore, it is better to take precautions than to make amends, but the son is young but can be far-sighted, which is really admired by the old man. ”

"I see!"

Lu Yao never thought of a hunt for Liu Xunyi, which was actually mixed with another big conspiracy, and it was integrated and complemented by each other.

I have to say that Lu Tingxiang reacted quickly, thought clearly, made a bold decision, and acted sharply in this matter...... They are far beyond their peers in the rivers and lakes, and Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu when they were younger are not far behind.

......

On the dim and empty streets, the carriage slowly came out of the Yingtianlou and slowly drove towards the Qin Mansion.

The carriage was as dark as ink, and the three brothers sat next to each other, unable to see each other's faces, but could clearly feel each other's dignified and long breathing.

It seems that the three heroes of the Qin family at this moment are all confused, confused, and extremely unsteady.

"Big brother, second brother!"

I don't know how long the silence lasted, Qin San's voice took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the dark, which made Qin Da and Qin Er, who were so worried, couldn't help but be stunned.

"What do you think of Sikong Zhu's proposal tonight?"

In the face of Qin San's inquiry, Qin Da and Qin Er were silent for a while, and then they all let out a sigh.

"Since you have a secret meeting with Sikong Zhu, you have already made a choice, haven't you?" Qin Da's voice sounded quietly, "From beginning to end, my mind has never wavered. For the sake of the overall situation of the Qin family, we must agree to Sikong Zhu's conditions and join forces with Jiangnan Lufu and Jinjianwu. ”

"In this way, we are tantamount to taking the initiative to give up the benefits behind Liu Xunyi. Qin Er hesitated, "Hexi is our territory after all, and Liu Xunyi is the fat that comes to his mouth." If you don't eat it yourself, you give it to someone else...... I felt a little aggrieved. He Jiangnan Lu Mansion wants to take this opportunity to soar into the sky, don't we Hexi Qin Clan want to?"

"Qin Ku doesn't nod for a day, who dares to hunt down and kill Liu Xunyi in the name of the Qin clan in Hexi?" Qin San smiled bitterly, "Even if we let us kill Liu Xunyi, Qin Ku won't admit it, and the benefits will not fall on the Qin family." In my humble opinion, Liu Xunyi's fate is not our biggest worry at the moment. The top priority is...... How do we weigh the pros and cons of this?"

"What the third brother said is good!" Qin Da agreed, "Right now, there are two paths in front of us. First, he truthfully explained the matter to Qin Ku and tried to persuade him to compromise. Second, he acted without permission from Qin Ku, cutting first and then playing. ”

"The biggest hidden danger of the first way is that if Qin Ku insists on refusing, the matter will reach a stalemate, maybe we will have an early fire with him, and no one can predict the consequences. Qin San analyzed, "The second path is diametrically opposed to the first path, and the biggest advantage is that you can advance this matter in secret and save the Qin family." The disadvantage is that once Qin Ku knows the truth, we will inevitably get into trouble with him, even to the point where we can't stand side by side. ”

"I listen to the eldest brother!" Qin Er's heart was crossed, and he said decisively, "Our three brothers have one life, and the eldest brother will do what he says!"

"Although Qin Ku is unpopular in the mansion, after all, he has the 'Xuanshui Scroll' in his hand, which is the key to continuing the lifeline of the Qin family. Once the net is broken, the disciples of the Qin family may not be on our side. Qin San reminded, "We must think carefully and think twice." ”

"Third brother, you ...... Listen to me?" In the darkness, Qin Da's tiger eyes reflected a terrifying ghostly light.

"I ......" Qin San was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes straightened, and he nodded heavily, "I listen to my eldest brother!"

"That's good!" Qin Da's tone sank, and he said word by word, "I have made up my mind, and I will cooperate with Lu Tingxiang and Jin Fuyu without Qin Ku." As long as we can help the Qin family get rid of the declining situation, even if we can't fight Qin Ku in the East Window incident, or even be expelled from the house by him, I will not hesitate!"

"What is the eldest brother going to do?" Qin Er and Qin San's hearts tightened, and the two of them spoke in unison.

"Let Qin Hu and Qin Bao find more beauties, wine, gamblers and the like, accompany Qin Ku day and night, and coax him to play in different ways. It's better to let him play in the dark, forget the sun and the moon, so that it can be convenient for us to do things!"
