Zhang You felt that he was an excellent lobbyist, in the palace, although he had a lowly position and was inconspicuous, he was one of Yan Qin's most relied on confidants, and often lobbied all parties in the palace on behalf of his master, nine out of ten, so he didn't understand which of his words annoyed the Dragon King and made him suddenly change his attitude.

"Dragon King...... I ......" Zhang You knelt down habitually, and then felt that this was not the lobbyist's style, but he didn't dare to get up immediately, "Everything I said is true, why is it a lie?"

Gu Shenwei raised his right hand slightly, Zhang You couldn't stand up this time, the feeling of ice needles and thorns had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, just thinking about it made him unbearable, "Dragon King Kaien, Dragon King Kaien, you let me think about it......"

Under intense pressure, Zhang You's mind spun fast, and he finally understood where the loophole in his rhetoric was: he had painted the prospect too perfectly.

As long as the Dragon King says a few words, it proves that King Xiao's military exploits are fake, so that Yan Qin can win in the battle of the court, he can change from an enemy to a favorite, not only get half of the Western Regions, but also have the opportunity to become the lord of the grassland.

He ignored one point, when Yan Qin was powerful, the so-called persuasion was just a passing scene, and the other party didn't believe it, and usually had to accept it, but Yan Zhongshi's authority was far from affecting Biyucheng, and the more beautiful the rhetoric, the more it looked like a lie.

"The Dragon King may not know much about the situation in the Central Plains Court, Yan Zhongshi is not an ordinary person, although he does not have the title of prince, his status is far higher than that of the ministers, the Dragon King only needs to inquire a little......"

Zhang You hopes to quickly establish the image of the master in the mind of the Dragon King, which will make his persuasion twice as effective with half the effort.

Gu Shenwei slapped his palm on the top of his head, and turned to look at the stack of papers on the table.

Unknowingly, he used the methods of interrogating the prisoners in Jinpeng Castle: torture, torture, and rarely asked, until the prisoner collapsed and took the initiative to reveal all the secrets hidden in his heart.

This is not very efficient, but it often yields surprises.

Zhang You made a strange sound on the ground, and those who were hit by the icy energy usually did not have the strength to let out a scream.

Gu Shenwei had already read half of the paperwork on the table, and what he was reading was the information sent by Xu Xiaoyi.

A few days ago, he asked Xu Xiaoyi to collect the backgrounds and contacts of the monks of the Four Noble Truths, and this is the result.

Xu Xiaoyi was conscientious, but the content of the information was very unbalanced, and the vast majority of the people who came and went with him, whether he believed in gods and Buddhas or not, the vast majority of the forces in Biyu City, especially the nobles and wealthy merchants living in Beicheng, had close contacts with the Four Noble Truths, so that too much information lost its meaning.

The background of the monks has become a problem, most of the monks of the Four Noble Truths seem to have no background, they have been monks since birth, and only a few indicate their origins, and they are basically nobles from a certain country in the Western Regions.

Even so, Gu Shenwei still looked at it carefully and came to the impression that the influence of the Four Noble Truths in the entire Western Regions was very great, and it could even spread as far away as the Central Plains and the Northern Garden.

The sound of teeth fighting behind him was gone, and Gu Shenwei waited for a while before turning around to check on Zhang You, who had fainted, and entering the Sumeru mustard true qi for him.

Zhang You slowly opened his eyes, as soon as he saw the figure of the Dragon King, he moved backwards and crawled lifelessly, he was Yan Zhongshi's henchman, he could command the protectors of the Western Regions, and he could change the situation in the Western Regions, he should never be treated like this, but the Dragon King regarded him as the lowest minion, tortured at will, regardless of life and death.

The information he got before was all wrong, who told Yan Zhong that the Dragon King was stoic and steady, and was willing to compromise? Zhang You hated this person to death, and in his mind, those originally absurd legends were true and credible: the Dragon King was a demon.

"Dragon King ......" Zhang You's voice was so hoarse that even he felt unfamiliar, "I, I confess, don't break and torture me anymore, I'll tell you the truth." ”

"I like to be honest. Gu Shenwei said, perhaps because he killed Wei Song with his own hands, the fire of hatred in his heart has been burning vigorously for the past few days, and cruelty has brought him satisfaction.

Zhang You thought for a while, "Yan Zhongshou trusts me, but he won't tell me everything, what I tell the Dragon King now is all speculation, it may be accurate, it may be ...... Forbid. ”

"Hmm. Gu Shenwei also likes to speculate, but he needs to treat other people's speculations differently.

Zhang You paused for a moment, and once again felt that the scene in front of him was unreal, the Dragon King's behavior was like a desperate gamble, which was quite different from the king in his impression, and the momentum of contempt for life and death was full, "That's right, the saint is getting older today, and it's a little ...... is a little disobedient, and even dared to disobey the queen mother's decree, but got closer and closer to his uncle King Xiao. Yan Zhongzhi was worried that the cunning rabbit would die and cook the lackey, and once the saint was in power, he would and would kill him. ”

"Good guess. Gu Shenwei encouraged, and finally felt a little bit of truth, "Stand up." ”

Zhang You squeezed out a flattered smile, barely got up from the ground, his legs still trembling, "Although Yan Zhongshou has never mentioned it to me, he has been anxious in the past year or two, and I can still see it." ”

"And then, what does this have to do with me?"

"I think...... Yan Zhongshou seems to have a big plan for the Dragon King, and I am only a small part of this plan. My task is to persuade the Dragon King to turn his back on King Xiao, but if it doesn't work, I have to pick up a wedge between them. Really, that's all Yan Zhongshou told me. ”

Zhang You's "small" plan failed miserably halfway through, which made him lose confidence in his master's "big" plan, "Yan Zhongshou felt that - this is all my cranky thinking - could shape the Dragon King into the saint's greatest enemy, and then he mediated in the middle, left and right. As for the means, I guess it is related to General Gu's experience of hostage Beiting back then, but it's just ...... It's just that for the Central Plains, it doesn't matter who the Dragon King's mother is, the father is the key. If I were Yan Zhong's servant, after winning over the Dragon King, I would release rumors that the Dragon King was actually the private ...... of the first emperor and Princess Beiting The son born in secret is not only noble, but also the eldest son......"

In this way, the Dragon King has the qualifications to win the Central Plains and become a natural enemy with the current emperor, so the power of the general Pang Ning and the Queen Mother will be enhanced, and Yan Qin's status will also be guaranteed.

Zhang You's speculation still has many loopholes, Yan Qin personally set up another prince, may benefit, and is more likely to cause death, how he will deal with this danger, Zhang You can't know, and he can't guess.

Gu Shenwei believed that Zhang You could confess that, "You have to stay in the Western Regions for a while." ”

"Yes, yes, the dragon king can keep me for as long as I want. Zhang You couldn't wait to grow wings and fly back to the Central Plains.

No matter what Yan Qin's final plan was, at the beginning it brought Gu Shenwei all benefits, he killed Wei Song, Dugu Xian was able to control all the 20,000 Central Plains soldiers outside Biyu City, and Zhang You bowed down to the Dragon King, which was enough to control the deputy envoy Sun Chengqi.

No one knows how long the good situation will last, so Gu Shenwei decided to make the most of this time.

The news of the death of Wei Song, the protector of the Western Regions, reached Biyu City that night, and the next morning it was known to the whole city.

Two high-ranking officials of the Central Plains died one after another within the boundaries of Biyucheng, and even the dullest people regarded this as a bad omen, although the two deaths were said to be related to each other and had nothing to do with outsiders, Biyucheng was still in a panic because of this.

Just after noon, Hu Shining, who stayed in Nancheng, came to the barracks to report the new situation, and the Tianshan Sect had greatly reduced its sphere of influence, and now it was only limited to a small part of the northern city and the southern city, that is, the area of the tavern on the south wall.

While the Tianshan Sect retreated, a large number of swordsmen poured in from all directions, asking to join the Dragon Army, which overwhelmed Hu Shining.

Compared with the swordsmen of Biyucheng who saw the wind and steered the rudder, Gu Shenwei valued the martial arts people in the Central Plains military camp more, most of them came from famous and decent families, and if they adapted to the environment of the Western Regions, they could become usable people like slaughtering dogs.

That night, Gu Shenwei summoned all the Central Plains masters, a total of more than fifty people, Tu Pianpian and several Kongtong disciples were also among them, they were obviously deeply shocked by Wei Song's death, and they couldn't help but have mixed feelings when facing the Dragon King.

Tu Pianpian was more calm than her disciples, and after this summons, she told the Dragon King through her younger brother Tu Gou: "If it is a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, the Kongtong faction has to avenge Lord Wei, and it involves the Central Plains court, and the Kongtong faction will stay away." ”

In this way, Tu Pianpian made her position clear: she knew who killed Master Wei, but she would not avenge him at the moment.

The recognized leader of the Central Plains martial arts people is Luo Qikang, who has taken a stand in another way.

Luo Qikang was also summoned, and was introduced to the Dragon King by several martial arts celebrities, including Tu Pianpian.

The two have already met once, and the second time is considered a formal acquaintance.

Under the leadership of Luo Qikang, all the Central Plains warriors only nodded to the Dragon King, and then he said: "We are from the Central Plains, and we only obey the orders of the Central Plains officials. ”

Luo Qikang kept the dignity of the Central Plains martial arts, and also made it clear to the Dragon King that he was here to avenge his younger brother, and all he lacked was a little official support.

Zhong Heng attended this meeting, and said to the Dragon King afterwards: "We must beware of the Central Plains people throwing themselves into Jinpeng Castle, the battle between the Dubu King and the Dragon King for the overlord is losing and retreating, and they are forced too tightly, and sooner or later the old methods will be adopted." ”

In order to gain the trust of Beiting and the Central Plains, and to prove to the world that Jinpeng Castle is qualified to compete for hegemony, Dubu King has been reducing the strength of the killer, but when there is no way back, he still has a knife in his hand.

"Do you want to know how far the Dubu King has been forced?" asked Gu Shenwei.

"The Dragon King has figured out a way?" Zhong Heng asked a little uneasily.

"Well, send someone to report, I will go to Jinpeng Castle in person and ask for a few people from King Dubu. ”
