Zhuo Buqun stood respectfully behind the bookcase, looking at the figure with his back to him and contemplating.

The room was unusually quiet.

Quietly, he could hear his heart beating.

Yes, he was urgent and anxious. Because what is planned tonight is not only related to the future of the Sutang Empire, but also to the rise and fall of their Zhuo family.

The slightest mistake will be a catastrophe!

He looked at the court-appointed squire of the military department, his father.

He didn't dare to bother.

It wasn't until the broken lamp in the room dried up that he moved silently and gently changed the candle.

His father finally turned around.

The squire of the military department took out the warrant representing his identity from his arms, looked at his son solemnly, and repeatedly admonished: "Take this order and dispatch two hundred armor from the military department." Shangshu-sama, for the father will personally explain. Remember, it's important to be foolproof!"

Zhuo Buqun took the warrant with both hands and lowered his head: "Father rest assured." ”

About half an hour later.

In the Tiandu City in the middle of the night, a team of 200 people from the military department, led by Zhuo Buqun and Mu Chengfeng, rushed towards the nameless mountain twenty miles south of the city.

In order to encircle the mountains and suppress bandits!

......

Qingfeng Village.

Liu Xuance, a middle-aged scholar with a blue turban, got up from behind the bookcase: "It seems that they are going to do it tonight." ”

In addition to Liu Xuance, the owner of the village, there are two other people in the study.

The three masters hated Guanbei and Xudu.

As the master of Qingfeng Village, how could Liu Xuance, who prides himself on being quite strategic, let such a thing happen to him?

Maybe the rest of the brothers in the village don't know his origin, but the three masters of the family are clear about Guanbei.

Liu Xuance inherited the Warring States Hidden Sect and claimed to have exhausted the organs. Beside the princes of the Warring States who have been fighting for three hundred years, there used to be more or less a few disciples of the Hidden Sect. Each of them is his own master and has played an indispensable role in history.

After the world entered the Spring and Autumn Period, the originally little-known hidden sect completely disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and the world became extinct. Even so, in the year of Jiazi, people still did not forget the saying that the strategists of the Six Realms had been circulated in the Warring States Period.

That saying comes from the Hidden Sect.

It is rumored that the disciples of the Hidden Sect included the wise men of the world and divided them into six realms. There is no difference between high and low, but only six different talents. They are called Heavenly Machine, National Policy, Raising Troops, Calculation, Poison and Sophistry.

And Liu Xuance, who was born in the hidden sect, has a little-known warning maxim, saying that he has three of the six realms of strategists. On the top, you can win a decisive victory in the country, you can govern the country and care for the people in the temples, and you can have insight into the hearts of the people.

Integrating the three realms of the military and national policy and the poisoner, this is the true face of Liu Xuance, a perennial scholar who dresses up as a feather fan and never leaves his hand.

This face, there are more than 100 brothers in Qingfeng Village, and only Qiu Guanbei knows it.

Even if this three-master can only see with his right eye.

Qiu Guanbei said: "I will go and ask the brothers to prepare. Tonight, even Zhao Hanting, including Zhao Hanting, will eliminate all the half-hearted guys!"

Liu Xuance nodded, then looked at the military veteran Xu Du and asked, "How is the background of Luo Lang and Feng Songhan?"

Xu Du, who had fought with Su Hanshan, said: "Before I found out that before I entered the cottage, they had all seen a person. ”

Liu Xuance wondered: "Who?"

Xu Du said: "Mu Chengfeng, the little prince of Chengjun Palace. ”

When Liu Xuance heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Qingfeng Zhai and Chengjun Wang have no grievances, how could they provoke such a big man? However, Liu Xuance soon denied this possibility.

I thought that if the matter was separated from the Chengjun Palace, then the little prince Mu Chengfeng secretly installed two masters of the rivers and lakes to infiltrate Qingfeng Village, which was an autonomous act.

But when did Qingfeng Village and Mu Chengfeng tie up?

And it is observed that Luo Lang has been very close to the second master Zhao Hanting after he mixed into the cottage, and there is no other suspicious behavior except for instigating the latter to replace him, the owner of the village. Feng Songhan is even simpler, he doesn't make contact with people all day, he just holds his Qiutang knife and is stunned.

The purpose of these two people so far is only to provoke civil strife in the cottage, so that Zhao Hanting, who is brave and lacks wisdom, will replace him.

Fei is so scheming, what is the little prince trying to do?

Is it just to kill yourself and secretly take over the cottage?

Liu Hance felt that things were far from being so simple.

Thinking that more than seventy percent of the cottage brothers have secretly defected to Zhao Hanting, and the enemy is outnumbered, only by striking first can the situation be reversed. Just as he was about to instruct the third leader to enmage Guanbei to carry out the plan, Liu Xuance suddenly thought of another thing.

He looked at Xu Du and asked, "Is tonight the time agreed by Li Gongzi?"

Liu Xuance claimed to be a strategist in the Six Realms, and his memory was naturally not bad. For more than a month, Su Hanshan, who is known as Li Xiaoyao Li Gongzi, has visited the village every three or five times, and after careful calculation, tonight happens to be the day of his mountaineering challenge.

He didn't forget.

The reason why I ask is actually a reminder, a reminder to myself.

Xu didn't answer, he looked at the big boss in silence.

At this time, a brother suddenly reported from outside the door.

"The owner of the village, Li Gongzi asks to see you. ”

The moment the voice entered his ears, Liu Xuance's hanging heart fell suddenly.

The hand holding the feather fan unconsciously exerted a slight force.

Yes!

Whether it is the little prince Mu Chengfeng or Luo Lang and Feng Songhan, their goal is not themselves from beginning to end.

Kill with a knife!

took advantage of the accumulated grievances of the cottage brothers to instigate the second master, Zhao Hanting, to replace him. And the date happened to be set when the Nine Emperor Princes were disguised to worship the village. Once the Nine Emperor Princes meet with him, then Luo Lang will definitely join forces with Zhao Hanting to make trouble, and then it will be the real dead end.

Even if the imperial court investigates in the future, it will only give a conclusion about the civil strife in the cottage. Su Hanshan, the son of the Nine Emperors, happened to worship the village, but unfortunately he was haunted by disasters and died under the knife.

Who can be involved?

Namu Chengfeng can naturally get rid of suspicion and sit back and relax!

Or for the sake of safety, after the matter is completed, Mu Chengfeng will even kill Luo Lang, Feng Songhan and even the entire cottage brothers, and kill them.

The best way to do this is undoubtedly with the help of the imperial court.

In the name of the imperial court, he sent troops to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits, which was justified.

Liu Xuance thought to himself: "At this moment, among the snowdrifts in the jungle at the foot of the mountain, I am afraid that I have already laid a heavy ambush......

The study was silent.

Liu Xuance inadvertently shook the feather fan, he was pondering how to deal with it.

The situation has changed, and the original plan is no longer effective. He concluded that all his actions at this moment should be under the surveillance of Luo Lang and Zhao Hanting.

If they send someone to inform the Nine Emperor Princes to leave, they will only force the other party to make a move in advance! Even if they can fight out of the cottage together, they will be exhausted by then, how can they deal with the heavy troops under the mountain?

So no matter what, the Nine Emperors must be met. See it quietly, as you always do.

Liu Xuance, who was in a dead end, calmed down, and instructed the third master to enmity Guanbei and said: "Third brother, you go in person, be sure to invite Li Gongzi into the study." Xu Du called three brothers and brought the two boxes of jewels in the cellar. ”
