The situation had not yet developed to the point of being out of control, and Gu Shen's strategy of betting on both sides had worked, as early as two months earlier, he had revealed Wei Song's plan to the envoy of the North Court, which made Shangguan Nu's testimony weak.

Shangguan Nu must have seen from all kinds of clues that he was about to be betrayed, so he used his identity as a staff officer to protect the Western Regions to steal several letters between Wei Song and the Central Plains court, in which Wei Song roughly described the plan to assassinate the old Khan king and take the opportunity to divide the northern court.

One of the central figures in this plan is the Dragon King.

"The Dragon King revealed the truth to Beiting in the first place, which is really wise. Fang Wen couldn't stop the Dragon King from fighting with the Naihang Clan, he began to think of other ways, "We haven't lost yet, it's not so easy for the King of the Sun to bring down the Dragon King, I have already brought a solid ally for the Dragon King, as long as we have his support, we can deal with it a little better, and defeat the King of the Sun and the Golden Peng Castle." ”

Although the two have always exchanged letters, there are still many things that cannot be described in detail, and in the remaining hours of the day, Fang Wenyi's mouth was not idle, and even when he was eating with the Dragon King, he chattered endlessly, and he collected the situation in the North Court one by one, and sometimes added a few comments.

Gu Shenwei slowly showed a clear picture in front of him.

There are more than 30 tribes with relatively large power in Beiting, after many years of combining vertical and horizontal, forming three powerful alliances, according to their respective positions and demands, Fang Wen gave them their respective names, "The Yanzi faction is the king of the Great Sun, ranked first among the ten kings of the North Court, according to the convention, he is the heir to the throne of the Khan, the most powerful, almost half of the tribes openly support him, unfortunately, the king of the Great Sun is the benefactor of Jinpeng Castle, and the dragon king is incompatible." ”

"Favorite faction, although King Kwari is ranked fourth, he is the most loved by the old Khan king, and he is also the most popular among the kings, as far as I know, some tribes openly support the king of the Great Day, in fact, they have secretly pledged allegiance to the king of Kwari, if the old Khan king dies, the struggle for the throne of the khan will be between these two princes. ”

"The bystanders, some tribes are wise to protect themselves, give up the fight for the Khan, and do not participate in the open and secret battles of the first two factions, just to see who can become the new Khan King, they will surrender to whom, now the King of the Great Sun and the King of Kwari are fighting fiercely, and both sides want to win allies from the Spectators, so the people of this faction are now attracting attention. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Wen sighed, "It's a coincidence that the leader of the Spectator Sect is the King of the Sun. The identity of the king of Rizhu is special, he is the only descendant among the ten kings, and the other nine kings are all royal families, so although he bears the title of king, he is not qualified to succeed to the throne, but his attitude is very critical, and it will be a huge help to anyone, so ......"

"So I have to improve my relationship with the king of the sun. Gu Shenwei understood what the military advisor meant.

"Even if it's temporary, don't give everyone the impression that the King of the Sun is about to fall to the King of the Great Sun because he hates the Dragon King. In that case, I'm afraid King Kwari will have to abandon us. ”

"What are your plans?"

"I think the hatred between the Dragon King and the King of the Sun is actually very easy to dissolve, it was the Gu Lun who killed the son of the King of the Sun, and the King of the Sun Dynasty hated the Gu family, but the Dragon King's surname is Yang, but his father is in the Gu family...... In doing things, there should be no hatred between us and us from the beginning. I wonder if the Dragon King can be like this, openly declaring that his enemies are limited to Jinpeng Castle, in short, Jinpeng Castle killed the Dragon King's father, no matter who is behind the scenes, it is impossible to ...... The Yang family has a murderous intention, right?"

If he revealed his true identity now, the military advisor would probably be dumbfounded, "I thought you had been against me for revenge." ”

"It's not the same, the time is easy, the chessboard in the past is the Western Regions, and Jinpeng Fort is the key chess piece above, and the rash challenge outweighs the loss, but now the chessboard has expanded to the world, Jinpeng Fort is just a small chess piece in the way, public revenge, can divert the attention of the magnates of the Northern Court. ”

"But I heard that King Rizhu is a supporter of Jinpeng Castle, if he was the one who instructed King Dubu to slaughter the Gu family back then, the relationship between the two sides should be good. ”

"If there is indeed a thing, it is only a superficial friendship, Jinpeng Castle is now openly under the protection of the Great Sun King, and has been involved in the struggle for the Khan throne in the Northern Court, and the King of the Sun is eager to get rid of the relationship with the Jinpeng Castle at this time, at least in the information I have received, the King of the Sun has never sought benefits for the Dubu King in recent years. ”

Gu Shenwei thought for a moment, "Well, I can claim that Jinpeng Castle is the only enemy, it's easy. ”

"There is one more thing, that old man wood, I have to find a way to solve it, I suggest...... It's better to hand him over. ”

"Old Man Mu openly pledges his allegiance to me, and if I hand him over at this time, I will lose the reputation of being timid and betraying my subordinates, which is not appropriate. ”

Old Man Mu's use value is rising, Gu Shenwei doesn't want to hand him over to anyone, and the reason he told the military advisor is also very good, most of the soldiers of the Dragon Army are from the south of the Tianshan Mountains, and they know very little about the evil deeds of the old man Mu in the north of the Tianshan Mountains many years ago, they only heard that this little man has made meritorious contributions in the slope of the sea, in their eyes, the Dragon King is not a demon, but a warrior loyal to him.

"Of course, you can't hand it over openly, you can...... Design it so that both parties are satisfied. "Fang Wen thought that Old Man Mu was an obstacle before he came to see the Dragon King, but after seeing him, he became more and more confident in his own judgment.

Gu Shenwei shook his head, "The less this kind of thing is done, the better, if you want people to be unaware, it's too difficult, keep the old man Mu, and there will be more bargaining chips when negotiating with the king of the day." ”

"Alas, the King of the Sun will not negotiate with the Dragon King, his violent temper is famous in the entire Beiting, and he has always been revenged, otherwise, he would not have held a grudge against the Gu family for so many years. ”

"Are you sure that Gu Lun's envoy to Beiting was thirty years ago?"

"That's right, I have verified that Gu Lun and the Seven Princes of the Central Plains have stayed in the North Court together...... Ten years. Fang Wen replied, not understanding why the Dragon King was suddenly interested in such an inconspicuous detail.

Gu Shenwei didn't answer, if Fang Wen found out the right time, it meant that he and his sister were both born in Beiting, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Speaking of the Gu family, Fang Wen briefly talked about the causes and consequences he learned by the way.

In the memory of the people of Beiting, the feud between the Seven Princes of the Central Plains and the son of the King of the Sun is a little more tortuous and exciting, it is not a simple wine fight, but a fight for a woman.

"The hatred between the father and son of the king is related to women, so ah, women are a curse. Fang Wen commented and felt the same way.

It is said that the woman was the fiancée of the son of the king of the day, but the seventh prince wanted to snatch love with a sword, thinking that this was still the Central Plains, and he could do whatever he wanted.

The Seventh Prince wanted to take revenge, so he deliberately created a dispute at the banquet a few days later, and the guard Gu Lun had already prepared, pretending to protect the lord, and stabbed the son of the King of Richai.

Maybe the Seven Princes and Gu Lun didn't want to kill, but that knife was fatal, and the King of Rizhu swore revenge, but it was just in time for the tense situation between the North Court and the Central Plains, and the old Khan King did not want to provoke a war when he was not fully prepared, so he strictly ordered the King of Rizhu to stay calm, and within a few months after that, the Seven Princes ended their hostage careers and returned to the Central Plains with Gu Lun.

In the eyes of the people of Beiting, the most unacceptable thing in the whole incident was that Gu Lun did not choose to defeat his opponent in the martial arts arena, but took advantage of the chaos to stab him, which was almost equivalent to an assassination.

"Beiting doesn't like to kill people secretly, as long as it is above board, no one can say anything, so Jinpeng Castle will be so generous to declare that it will stop all assassination business, in fact, it is all to curry favor with the Beiting magnates. ”

"The king of the day ordered Jinpeng Fort to slaughter the Gu family, which was carried out secretly. ”

"First, in the eyes of the King of the Sun, Gu Lun is sneaking first, and second, it is not certain whether the King of the Day is the instigator or not, from my personal understanding of him, this thing does not seem like he can do it. ”

Gu Shenwei quickly ended the conversation, not wanting the military advisor to know that he was too interested in Gu Lun's past.

After another lively banquet, the team set off at noon the next day and continued to the Dragon Court.

Gu Shenwei has one more fierce general by his side, although Long Chuanyun has a good amount of wine, but he is not good at words, Shangguan Fei can speak well, but it is not the style that Beiting people like, Fang Wen has followed the local customs in the past six months, drinking and talking are equally heroic, and he agreed with seven or eight people to find a time to worship as brothers in one night, and no one mentioned it again afterwards.

After a little comparison, Gu Shenwei felt that Fang Wen was more suitable to be his military advisor, although Zhang Ji was superior in all aspects, he was too proud, Shangguan Yun looked like a student in front of him, not to mention the young Dragon King.

After continuing to set off, Gu Shenwei finally had time to "ask for advice" from Old Man Mu, and he told the Lotus Girl about his plan, and the two of them put pressure together to ensure that Old Man Mu would not stuff lies when answering questions.

Asking questions is a skill, Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl don't want to reveal the idea of three skills in one, so the simple questions are dismantled into hundreds of seemingly scattered small questions, the old man Mu has to answer all questions, almost omniscient, he vaguely guessed the purpose of these two people, neither ask more, nor break it, he knows whose hands his life is now pinned.

Most of the Q&A sessions were conducted at night, and Gu Shenwei didn't want Shangguan Ru to know about it.

Many loopholes in the integration of the three skills have been plugged, Gu Shenwei and the Lotus Girl did not practice rashly before, it was a very correct decision, as for why Shangguan Fei has been fine, the Lotus Girl has a guess, he is too lazy, and regards the practice as suffering, once the Lotus Girl relaxes her supervision, she immediately throws the practice aside.

It was probably this laziness that saved Shangguan Fei's life.

On the seventh day of re-entering the road, it was only four or five days away from the location of the Dragon Court, and the team was intercepted again.

Contrary to Fang Wen's expectations, the King of the Sun, who had a violent temper and rarely compromised, actually wanted to meet with the Dragon King before he had the right to take ownership, "This ...... How is this possible?"

Gu Shenwei was not particularly surprised, he was only worried about one thing: whether Shangguan Nu had already guessed his true identity and revealed it to the King of the Sun.

Recalling the meeting with Tongtianguan, Gu Shenwei felt that there was indeed something suspicious in it.
