Fang Wen was at the end of winter when he set off, and the journey was doubly difficult, Shu Litu persuaded him to wait a few more days, but he didn't want to delay for a day, "Nie Zeng can go to Biyu City in the middle of winter, and he has done it every time, I am not as good as him as an adult?"

Fang Wen overestimated himself, he was indeed inferior to the young Nie Zeng, he couldn't stand the fact that he didn't sleep for a few days and nights, so a high-spirited departure soon turned into a difficult trek in the ice and snow, and the speed of travel became slower and slower, Fang Wen was the weight that he had managed to raise, and it disappeared in the process, which made him sigh.

He took fifty followers, all of whom stayed north of the Tianshan Mountains, and only passed through Tongtian Pass with Nie Zeng, and went to Biyu City without stopping.

When the two finally appeared in front of the Dragon King, their states were completely different.

Nie Zeng has grown a few inches taller than the last time they met, although he is very thin, he looks extremely sturdy, his expression is resolute, and he no longer has a bit of childishness left.

Fang Wen is also thin, but he looks very weak, his eye sockets are deep-set, listless, as if he is seriously ill, because he has been riding on horseback for too long, his legs form an unnatural loop, and he is a little shorter, and with Nie Zeng's support, he staggered forward with strange duck steps.

But as soon as he saw the Dragon King, Fang Wen pushed Nie Zeng away, his legs became straighter, and the person was also in good spirits, holding his head high, solemnly bending slightly, and said in his unique tone: "It's good to see that the Dragon King has a qualified attendant, and threats and bribes have no effect on him." ”

Qin Yeming's report was very simple, Gu Shenwei could imagine the scene where he intercepted Fang Wenye, so he walked around in a few steps, and personally held the arm of the military advisor, "Why is the military advisor emaciated like this?

The dragon king showed a rare kindness, Fang Wen felt that he had regained face, and it was worth the trip, nodded indifferently, and entered the house with the dragon king, the only regret was that the dragon king's attendant seemed to be indifferent to this, just quietly busy with the front and back.

Gu Shenwei ordered Qin Yeming to take Nie Zeng to find a room to rest, and then asked the military advisor, "Something happened to the grassland?"

Fang Wenis nodded, "The battle for the Khan throne between Shulitu and Luo Luo is not over yet, and there are two new kingdoms and two new kings on the grassland, and they are all related to the Central Plains. ”

"What's going on?" Gu Shenwei was taken aback.

Fang Wen once wrote to tell the Dragon King, saying that the Central Plains sent two envoy teams to Shu Litu and Luo Luo respectively, and soon after the letter was sent, the envoys arrived, Fang Wen suggested that Shu Litu warmly receive the envoys and find out the strategy of the Central Plains.

Shu Litu did a good job, and because he was still young, the Central Plains envoys thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, secretly bribed the generals of various departments, made all kinds of promises, and soon revealed the true intentions of the Central Plains people.

The Central Plains wanted to perpetuate the ** of the Northern Court, so it was not only decided to recognize the two khans of the East and the West, but also to establish two new countries in the southern part of the steppe, one of which bordered the Central Plains, not called the "country", but called the fief of the Xiao Yan clan, and the owner was naturally the surrendered Xiao Yan clan.

Strictly speaking, this is not a country, after the death of the Xiao Yan clan, you can leave the fief to anyone, "This is a struggle reserved for the North Court, to please the Xiao Yan clan is to please the Central Plains, and the competition for the fief will cause more**." ”

The second country that the Central Plains hoped to establish on the grassland was real, just north of the Tianshan Mountains, bordering the Western Regions, with a vast territory, which could be cultivated and pastured, and as for who would be the new king, the Central Plains envoys knew very little, but he hinted that the new king would never be from Beiting, but from the Western Regions.

If Shulitu and Rollo were to be recognized by the Central Plains, they had to accept the new state.

"Dubu King, this is the territory prepared for Shangguan Var. Gu Shenwei immediately thought of this possibility.

"This is a kind of saying, and there is also a saying that it will be an obedient country in the eastern part of the Western Regions that will get this land, such as Loulan, which will be better controlled, and to be fair, if I am in power in the Central Plains, I will definitely choose Loulan. ”

The news brought back by the military advisor was indeed very important, and Gu Shenwei asked, "How did the people of Beiting react?"

Fang Wen spread his hands, "Shulitu has no choice, it is said that Luo Luo has agreed, whether this news is true or not, in fact, both sides have to fight to curry favor with the Central Plains, and being an enemy of the Central Plains at this time is tantamount to withdrawing from the battle for the Khan position." I asked him to fight for the interests of the Central Plains as much as possible, and then he had to agree to what he should have agreed. ”

Far away, Fang Wen could only make his own opinions, and without waiting for the Dragon King to ask, he continued to explain: "The Central Plains inserts a country between Shulitu and the Western Regions, which is actually a good thing, this land is separated from the Northern Court, and the control of the new king must be unstable, which just provides a big bait for the group of males to compete with the deer, and the Dragon King must join in." In five years, at most ten years, the Dragon King will be able to have a real power, enough to compete with the Central Plains and Beiting, and there is no need to look at others. ”

Fang Wen was excited, for him, five years to ten years were as short as a white horse, and it was an extremely cost-effective business to be able to realize the emperor's business during this time.

Gu Shenwei didn't interrupt the military advisor and let him keep talking.

"Whether the new king is the king of Dubu or the king of Loulan, I guess the Central Plains is hesitating at this time, from the perspective of difficulty, it is easier to establish the king of Loulan, after all, he is already the real king. But I can't underestimate Shangguan Var, I heard that Jinpeng Fort has been very honest recently, and he doesn't even want the killers he has cultivated for many years, and he must have a bigger goal of destroying his foundation. ”

"Let's assume that the new king is the king of Loulan. Fang Wen rubbed his ** unconsciously, from now on, he never wanted to ride a horse again, "He is definitely unwilling to leave his country, his control over the new territory must be relaxed, and it will be easier for the Dragon King to fight for it in the future." ”

"If the new king is Shangguan Va, it will be a little troublesome, he finally got a piece of meat from the master, and he will naturally bite it to death, and he will guard against the dragon king from the beginning, and even expand to Shule and Xiaoyaohai again. ”

Fang Wen paused for a while, he had been thinking long enough along the way, he didn't expect that one day he would make such a suggestion to the Dragon King, "Shangguan Fa must die, no matter what means are used, even if it is assassination, he must be eliminated, forcing the Central Plains to choose the King of Loulan." ”

Gu Shenwei was not surprised at all, for eight years, he had been working hard to achieve this goal, but his requirements were getting higher and higher, from killing anyone in Jinpeng Castle to completely destroying Jinpeng Castle now, and destroying it safely.

"I will kill Shangguan Fa in the competition. ”

"Does the Dragon King have a way?" Fang Wen asked in surprise, he remembered very well that the Dragon King had said that he was not the opponent of the Dubu King.

"There you go. "Gu Shenwei actually only has a prototype of a plan, but this kind of thing can't be helped, so there is no need to go into too much detail.

"That's good. Fang Wen clapped his hands, "I heard that the city lord's martial arts competition is to draw lots to determine the opponent, when will the dragon king meet the Dubu king?"

"The last one. ”

"Is the Dragon King sure?" Fang Wen thought that the draw should be random.

"This is an agreement reached between the Central Plains and me, the lottery is controlled by Pang Jing**, he will carefully arrange the candidates for each competition, no matter what others do, he wants to ensure that the Dubu King will compete with Luo Qikang first, the Dubu King will lose, Luo Qikang will win, and then Luo Qikang will lose to me again, and give me a city lord's position. ”

Fang Wen sneered a few times, "The abacus of the Central Plains is quite good, give the Dragon King a sesame seed, but give the Dubu King a sesame field, what is the Dragon King going to do? If the Central Plains' plan is realized, the Dragon King and the Dubu King will not meet at all." ”

"It's very simple, if Luo Qikang dies before the lottery, it won't be an obstacle between me and Dubu King. ”

Fang Wen had just proposed assassination, so he couldn't say anything about the hint to the Dragon King, but just reminded: "No matter what, you can't openly break with the Central Plains now, from the Northern Court to the Western Regions, the Central Plains is now the master of the world, so you can only follow him." Fortunately, this is a ruthless lord who has no feelings for anyone, and as long as the Dragon King does not refute the face of the Central Plains, he will not be punished for killing anyone in the Western Regions. ”

Then he remembered an incident he had heard on the road, "The Dragon King issued a ban on killing in Biyu City, and it won't fall on his head in the end, right?" ”

"I have my own ideas. ”

"Hmm. Fang Wen was too tired, what he said just now was already thought out by him on the road, and he really couldn't come up with a fresh plan at this time, "That's good, tonight is the first competition, right? Fortunately, I caught up, Xiao Chu can win, right? It's better not to let him lose, just let Zhongyuan feel that Dubu Wang has a false appearance." ”

"He's not going to lose. Gu Shenwei said that he really hoped that his "fake show" with Tie Linglong could make Chu Nanping pass this pass.

Fang Wen couldn't hold back his yawn, "Please forgive the Dragon King, the horse's back is bumpy, my waist is ......"

"The military advisor will go to rest first, and we will talk about other things later. ”

"There are a lot of things to talk about, after taking Biyu City, I have to recruit troops, separate Loulan and the Central Plains, appease Shulitu, and occupy new territories, I have a plan, and I have a plan within ten years...... But I'll have to get some sleep. ”

Qin Yeming was guarding the door, he had already arranged everything and led the military advisor to the bedroom.

Fang Wen was top-heavy, as if he had drunk too much wine, but he still hadn't forgotten the Dragon King's attendant's previous obstruction, "How is it, do you know me now?"

"Hmm. Qin Yeming responded calmly, his attitude was unchanged from before.

Fang Wen felt bored and no longer sarcastic, until he passed by a courtyard door, and heard the voice of an early riser woman inside, and couldn't help but ask unexpectedly, "Who lives here?"

"Queen. ”

"Queen Ju of Stone Country?"

"The Dragon King has only one queen. ”

Fang Wen was hot in his brain, and he took a few steps quickly, as if he had done something wrong, thinking that he was going to lose sleep again, but he fell asleep in **, and he didn't even see what the bedroom looked like.

The sky was faintly bright, and Gu Shenwei decided to simply wait a little longer before going to Queen Ju's room to rest, so as not to disturb her sleep.

Chu Nanping walked in at this time, stared at the Dragon King for a while, turned around and walked out again, and didn't say anything.

Gu Shenwei believed that Chu Nanping would win tonight's competition, but he didn't know if he could continue to control this swordsman.
