The night before heading to the Governor's Mansion, Meng Mingshu was still hesitating, and he asked Lu Qiying, "Even if everything is in order, will the Dragon King hand over my family's money?" He is now the de facto owner of Biyu City, as long as he turns his face, who will dare to stop him? No matter how powerful the Central Plains is, it will not quench the thirst of the distant water, right?"

Lu Qiying used a hearty smile to contrast the stupidity of Meng Ergongzi, "Of course, if the Dragon King turns his face, the 20,000 troops of the Central Plains will definitely not be able to stop it, so ah, you can't give the Dragon King a chance to turn his face." ”

Meng Mingshu dreamed of his own property, in his opinion, it was worth waging war for the sake of this huge wealth, let alone turning his face? Therefore, he looked at Lu Qiying suspiciously, waiting for him to give a reason.

"Do you understand the principle of giving up the small and protecting the big?" Lu Qiying was slightly impatient, thinking that when the Meng family was in the past, she really didn't see that Meng Er was a fool.

"Of course I do. Meng Mingshu also frowned, "Could it be that my family's property is small? Do you know how many ...... there are?"

Lu Qiying snorted slightly, "No matter how much property the Meng family has, it can be bigger than the entire Biyu City, or even half of the Western Regions?" The Dragon King is very greedy, his ambition is far more than just that little thing in your family, he wants Biyu City, he wants half of the Western Regions, and the most important thing is that he also wants the recognition of the Central Plains, so that he can have all this in a down-to-earth manner." ”

Meng Mingshu understood what the shopkeeper Lu meant, but he was even more confused, "Wait, I'm confused, in order to seize Biyu City, the Dragon King would rather give up the property of the Meng family, I understand this, but in this way, won't the Meng family be unlucky in the future, completely offend the Dragon King, and wait for him to settle accounts after the autumn? It's better to wait honestly, maybe the Dragon King will really keep his promise and return the property to me." ”

"Ha, first, how much money can't satisfy the Dragon King's appetite, will he return the money to you? Don't dream, he will loot the entire Biyu City. Second, whether it is Biyucheng or the Western Regions, they are all bait hanging in front of the Dragon King, making him think that there is a greater harvest ahead, so he is willing to give up the Meng family's money. The Central Plains has been obsessed with the Western Regions for many years, how can it be easily handed over to the Dragon King? What kind of person is Madame Xiao, if she didn't know in her heart, she would have sent me to persuade you? We are just ahead of the curve, or it won't be long before you will find that there will be more and more people who have betrayed the Dragon King. ”

"That's right. Meng Mingshu suddenly realized, "When the Dragon King finds out that he can't capture Biyu City, he won't pay back the money." ”

"That's not the case. Lu Qiying admired Xiao Fengchai, that woman simply saw Meng Er through, and all the reactions were within her expectations.

Meng Mingshu had a bottom in his heart, so in the Governor's Mansion, he eagerly proposed that the bet was destined to convey a message to the Dragon King: I only need money, and it will not affect you to seize the city and fight for hegemony.

But when he thought that the Dragon King had promised to return the property in full, and the Central Plains people had to divide it in half, Meng Mingshu still felt heartache, and the only thing that he could use to comfort himself was: There is no cheap thing in the world, and the Dragon King's promise is perfect, which just proves that he is not sincere, and the Central Plains people opened their mouths, but it is more worthy of belief, this is the transaction.

On the same night, Luo Qikang was also suspicious of Ciyue's plan, worried that the Dragon King would turn his face in public, and only he dared to ask Pang Jing directly, "Will the Dragon King admit to robbing money?" I don't think that's his surname, remind me, if he gets angry and wants to take risks, I can only protect your safety, but I can't stop him." The 20,000 Central Plains troops outside the city drank the [***] soup of Dugu Xian, worshiped the Dragon King so much that they didn't want to go to war at all. ”

Pang Jing pointed to his head, "I'm not stupid, just with just 20,000 horses, I won't challenge the Dragon King, you haven't seen through the core of the whole plan." ”

Luo Qikang's face was slightly gloomy, he didn't like to be belittled, even if this contempt came from a good friend, he didn't see through the plan because Pang Jing had something to hide and didn't say, not because he lacked intelligence.

Pang Jing likes to see the angry look of serious people the most, haha smiled, and accepted it when he saw it, "You forgot, the Dragon King and Meng Er, no matter who wins tomorrow's good show, as long as the gold and silver show up, they will score half of it for me, so even if the Dragon King proves that he didn't rob money, what if he refutes Meng Er?"

"Hmph, only you can come up with such a trick. Luo Qikang praised coldly, "Didn't the Dragon King take all his property away and hide it? It's not easy to take half of it from him." ”

"Oh, no, the real money of the Meng family is still in Biyu City. ”

"Are you sure?"

"No one is more certain than me. Pang Jing deliberately said in a mysterious tone, indicating that he still had secrets that he hadn't said.

Luo Qikang snorted again, but did not ask, as long as Pang Jing can control everything, and the Dragon King will suffer, this is just a small revenge, and it is not yet time for a decisive battle.

The Dragon King has always acted secretively, and the people around him have been accustomed to it, only Xu Xiaoyi has more information, so he is also the most worried, and he frequently came to deliver information in person that night, and when he entered the room for the eleventh time, Gu Shenwei finally allowed him to ask, "If you have something to say, don't be sneaky." ”

Xu Xiaoyi grinned, taking the Dragon King's "rebuke" as a symbol of favor, "Then I'll say it." This is clearly a trap set by the Central Plains, and the Dragon King doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, no, you are in a hurry to get in, and you can't pull it. ”

"Tell me what kind of trap this is?"

Xu Xiaoyi touched the mustache on his lips and thought for a while, "I got the news that Meng Er was probably going to betray the Dragon King, but I think that Pang Jing is not asking for money for the Meng family at all, he is openly blackmailing, and wants to ask for money for himself from the Dragon King, as for Meng Er, he was born unlucky and destined to lose all his money." ”

Gu Shenwei nodded approvingly, "You guessed right, how do you think I should deal with it?"

"It's very simple, if you don't go to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow, let Meng Ergan howl, we don't recognize all the evidence, anyway, the entire Biyu City knows that the Meng family's money is in the hands of the Dragon King, and no one dares to mess with you, even if it's from the Central Plains. ”

"What if the Meng family's money is not in my hands?"

Xu Xiaoyi was stunned, his fingers were on his beard, and he didn't move for a long time, "What, what do you mean? The money is not in the Dragon King's hands?"

Gu Shenwei has always kept this secret, but it will not be long before this matter will be revealed to the world, Xu Xiaoyi is responsible for collecting intelligence, and he should know it earlier than others, so he said: "It's too late for me to do it, the Meng family's treasury only uses a pile of stones and iron ingots, and there is no gold or silver." ”

"Huh?" Xu Xiaoyi opened his mouth wide in surprise, waved his hand, and tore off a small strand of beard, grinning in pain, not caring about shouting pain, "The Dragon King is not joking, right? What about the Meng family's money? It was hidden by Lao Meng, or ...... Oh, the old bastard of the Dubu King was the first to attack, alas, alas......"

Jinpeng Fort has completely controlled the Meng family for a long time, and even the patriarch Meng Zhuzun is a fake, and he has enough time to transfer his property and take stone iron to make up the number.

"Why didn't the Dragon King say it at that time, he didn't take anything, and he had a reputation for robbery?" Xu Xiaoyi covered his lips and spoke in a buzzing voice, but his heart hurt even more, although he no longer cared about money, he was still accustomed to seeing the Dragon King's loss as his own.

"At that time, the dragon army was short of money, and I needed the reputation of robbing money. Gu Shenwei explained, this trick is indeed good, it is precisely by relying on this not very good reputation that the Long Army can get a large amount of grain, grass and military funds on credit, "And I don't get nothing, there is still some money in the commercial houses and money houses around the Meng family, not much, but it is indeed in my hands." ”

Xu Xiaoyi was still distressed, he thought he was leaning on the gold mountain, but when he woke up, he was only holding a gold brick in his hand, and the gap was too big, "In this way, the gold nuggets in Wu Xuan's hand actually flowed out of Jinpeng Castle." ”

"It's sending a message to me. ”

"What information, demonstrations?"

"King Dubu wants to tell me that the money is in his hands, and he wants to give it to the people of the Central Plains. Pang Jing wanted to tell me that he had already gotten the money, and I would either cooperate with him in a play, or I would have nothing, and I would have to be collected by the whole city. ”

Xu Xiaoyi jumped up slowly, not as tall as the old man Mu, three feet above the ground, which was his limit, and said indignantly after landing: "Shangguan old boy and Central Plains stinky boy are so insidious? I don't believe that the people of the Central Plains are so powerful, thousands of miles apart, they can still stretch out their hands, tens of thousands of troops are not enough for the Dragon King to stuff his teeth. ”

Gu Shenwei shook his head, "The timing is not right, once the war with the Central Plains starts, it will have to be a decisive battle, at least ten years of security, the civil strife in the North Court has not been settled, and the strength has not yet recovered, so it is not beneficial to start a war at this time." What's more, Pang Jing will also divide half of the Meng family's money with me, and I didn't suffer a loss. ”

"Pang Jing will divide the money? He, what does he mean?"

"He's balancing, an old trick of the Central Plains. ”

"So Pang Jing didn't fully support King Dubu?"

"Well, we'll have to see if we talk about it. Gu Shenwei believes that the Central Plains does not want to see the Western Regions being controlled by someone alone, and it is best for the Dubu King and the Dragon King to exist at the same time, vying to flatter the Central Plains.

Xu Xiaoyi sighed, not so distressed, "Alas, from a mountain of gold and silver to nothing, and from nothing to half a mountain of gold and half of silver, I really don't know if this is taking advantage or suffering?

"Nope. Many years ago, Gu Shenwei made up his mind to be the one in control, not the one to be controlled, no matter how reasonable Pang Jing's plan is, he doesn't want to be just a small role in it, "I have other plans." ”

Xu Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, and he saw the entire mountain of gold and silver again.

The night full of doubts and explanations passed, and Duan Zihua, the old family member of the Meng Mansion, knelt on the ground, his face was as dead as ashes, because he was going to betray too many people next, the old master, the little master, the dragon king, the Dubu king, Xiao Fengchai...... He couldn't imagine how he could survive today.

Gao Yang was also escorted out, his hands and feet were shackled, facing a room of people, standing proudly, his eyes turned around, and fell on the Dragon King, "I figured it out, you hired me to kill people, and if you didn't admit it afterwards, you actually wanted to repay the debt." ”

Duan Zihua raised his head, "Gao Yang, do you remember me?"

Gao Yang didn't recognize this thin old man, but he remembered his voice.
