Shen Wuchou smiled and said: "Interesting, but do you still have wine?"

He originally came to assassinate Zuo Xuanji, but now he seemed to be reunited with an old friend and wanted to continue talking with Zuo Xuanji with great interest.

Zuo Xuanji also smiled, reached for a wine jar and handed it to Shen Wuchou. After taking it, Shen Wuchou opened the seal, raised his head and took a sip, and then said: "Continue talking."

"If someone wants to cause rebellion in Kyoto, he must first think of how to deal with the three armies and horses guarding Kyoto." Zuo Xuanji said: "If you cannot control any of these soldiers and horses, creating rebellion in Kyoto is simply asking for death, so If nothing else, the rebel party must have controlled one of the troops."

Shen Wuchou smiled and said nothing.

"Of course the Shence Army has nothing to do with the rebel party." Zuo Xuanji said with a smile: "Then the Wu-Gui Army and the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army may both be rebels. No matter which of these two armies wants to participate in the rebellion, the rebel party is the biggest The trouble is naturally the Shence Army. The Shence Army is stationed in the suburbs of Beijing. Once there are changes in Kyoto, they can come to Beijing at any time to quell the rebellion. Therefore, as long as the Shence Army does not move, the rebels will not dare to act rashly." He actually picked up his chopsticks. , put a piece of beef into his mouth, chewed slowly and said: "If Lord Qin hadn't fallen from the sky during the Suzhou Rebellion, the Shence Army would have sent a large number of troops to go there. In fact, Xiahou Ning had already led the forward battalion. After going to Jiangnan, if the rebellion in Suzhou continues for another ten days, at least half of the Shence Army will be mobilized."

When Shen Wuchou heard the words "Master Qin", his expression was quite complicated.

"The Shence Army mobilized its troops to the south of the Yangtze River. They were restrained by the rebels and were unable to return to Kyoto to aid in a short period of time." Zuo Xuanji said calmly. When he said this, he suddenly thought of something, his body shook, and he lost his voice: "That's not right. ....!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's not just the Shence Army!" Zuo Xuanji realized something and said in shock: "Your Highness... Your Highness the Princess is trapped in the south of the Yangtze River and is used as a banner by the rebels. If... if you just want to attract Shence If the army is mobilized, there is no need to go to great lengths to lure the princess into a trap...!"

Shen Wuchou stared into Zuo Xuanji's eyes and said nothing.

Zuo Xuanji lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "I understand. Chief Manager, your goal is to be the Chief Manager!"

"General Zuo is indeed very intelligent." Shen Wuchou said with admiration: "No wonder you can serve as the general of the Shence Army. Your bravery and wisdom are both extraordinary."

Zuo Xuanji didn't seem to stop thinking because the deadline was approaching. He quickly gathered various clues in his mind to figure out the strangeness. After a while, he finally said: "The princess was taken as a banner by the rebels. The saint will not turn a blind eye. He will definitely find a way to rescue the princess back to Kyoto. The only person who can rescue the princess from the rebel formation is the Grand Master. And beside the saint, the Grand Steward happens to have this ability, so without Qin Xiao to protect the princess, the Grand Steward can only Heading to Jiangnan...!"

"Without the chief steward around the saint, the rebels in the palace will have no fear." Zuo Xuanji's mind was racing, as if he was telling Shen Wuchou, more like he was explaining to himself what was wrong: "The Great Heavenly Master is here Although Yutiantai is also in the palace, it cannot always guard the saint. Without the personal protection of the general manager, once the saint is kidnapped, the great heavenly master will not dare to take action easily. That is a taboo." He suddenly realized: "So that's it. , it turns out that the real purpose of Jiangnan’s rebellion is not in Jiangnan, but in Kyoto.”

Shen Wuchou smiled and said: "The palace should thank Qin Xiao. If it weren't for Qin Xiao, our plan would have been successful half a year ago."

"Qin Xiao turned the tide in the south of the Yangtze River, causing your previous plan to fail." Zuo Xuanji said: "Neither the Shence Army nor the chief executive has left the capital, so your plot has to be postponed." He raised his head slightly, his pupils shrank, and his expression was solemn. Abnormal: "And this time, you have found a new opportunity and made a comeback."

Shen Wuchou looked calm and asked, "I really want to hear, what did you notice this time?"

"Xia Houning was assassinated in Hangzhou. As far as I know, the murderer was the Datian Realm of Sword Valley." Zuo Xuanji looked at Shen Wuchou and said, "If I'm not wrong, the murderer of Xia Houning should be you. This is Mr. Sword Valley."

Shen Wuchou said with a smile: "This is not difficult to guess, and your emperor and Xiahou Yuanzhen have both confirmed that the murderer is me."

"Jiangu and the Xiahou family have enmity, but your purpose of killing Xiahou Ning is not just to seek revenge." Zuo Xuanji sighed: "You want to use this to tell the saints and the prime minister that another big man has emerged from Jiangu. Heavenly Realm. The Saints and the Prime Minister own the entire Tang Dynasty. There are not many enemies that they can fear, but Sword Valley has always been a thorn in their side. Sword Valley's Six Ultimates are famous. If these people become the climate, one by one When they all enter the Great Heaven Realm, even if the Saint has a Grand Manager and a Great Heavenly Master around him, there will still be a hidden danger."

"So the one-and-done solution is of course to send people to hunt down the Sword Valley disciples." Shen Wuchou smiled and said: "Xiahou Ning's death made the emperor uneasy, so he sent the eunuch chief around him to take action. This is a method we really have no other choice. , may not be successful.”

Zuo Xuanji smiled bitterly and said: "But you succeeded. No one knew that the chief steward had left the palace. I still don't know that he left the palace long ago. If he had not left the palace, this rebellion would not have happened."

"He is outside the customs now." Shen Wuchou took another sip of wine, "Whether he can come back alive is still unknown."

"Even if he comes back alive, it's already too late." Zuo Xuanji said: "After you launch a rebellion, of course you will worry about the general manager coming back and killing you, so you must have made preparations and set up a trap. Traps await to hunt down the High Controller.”

"Perhaps a trap has been set over there in Sword Valley to kill prey."

Zuo Xuanji nodded and said: "This is naturally possible. However, the Grand Manager is already at the Grand Master level, and with the power of the Six Ultimate Skills of Sword Valley, he may not be able to defeat the Grand Master." He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "You Sword Valley has a grudge against the saint. , since you have your party members in the palace, and you have the strength to hunt down the general manager, then it is not difficult to kill the king. Your purpose is nothing more than to assassinate the saint to avenge the sword god. In this case, why bother to set off a rebellion in Kyoto? Such a big storm?"

"In your opinion, what are our motives?"

"I don't know." Zuo Xuanji shook his head sincerely and said: "I only know that no one in the world can drive the disciples of Sword Valley to become lackeys. Mr. Da personally came to take my life this time. After thinking about it, I just realized I can think of Mr. Da as making a deal with someone."

"oh?"

"Jiangu's purpose is to assassinate the saint, but the rebels in the palace may not have this purpose only." Zuo Xuanji said: "Without the help of the rebels in the palace, Jiangu cannot achieve its goal, so you reached a deal with them. , they help you take revenge, and you must also help them achieve their goals."

Shen Wuchou said sincerely: "I really admire your wisdom, but it's a pity...!" He shook his head and did not continue.

"You killed me to help them seize the military power of the Shence Army." Zuo Xuanji said: "If I die and the saint does not make another decree, the military power of the Shence Army will be controlled by three lieutenants, among whom Zhuang Zhaoyang has the highest prestige. , the most meritorious, the other two lieutenants can only temporarily obey his military orders." He shook his head and said: "But the military power cannot fall into his hands. He is the Prime Minister of the country, so this time when he went to Beijing to quell the rebellion, Zhuang Zhaoyang just stepped in. If he falls into a carefully laid trap, he will definitely die."

"Do you also think that if he follows Xiahou Yuanzhen to cause chaos, there will be no good results?"

Zuo Xuanji sighed: "The saint did not come to court in three months, and the eunuchs in the palace beat the ministers. All this is unbelievable. The truth behind it is shrouded in a cloud. Although I know there is a huge conspiracy hidden behind it, I can't see through it. What happened?" He stared into Shen Wuchou's eyes and said, "It wasn't until Mr. Da arrived and wanted to take my life that the fog in front of my eyes finally began to clear, allowing me to see some things clearly."

"If you can see it now, you are already extremely wise."

"The rebels in the palace naturally guessed that if the saint is delayed in coming to court, the most anxious and fearful person will be the prime minister." Zuo Xuanji's eyes became sharp: "In order to protect the Xiahou family, his only choice is to He took a desperate risk and mobilized troops to attack the palace. The rebels in the palace will definitely guess that the Prime Minister will definitely mobilize the armed guards and even the Shence Army, and the army will come to the city." He frowned and sneered: "In this case, the palace Why did the rebels in the imperial city plunge the imperial city into dire straits? Do they think they can withstand tens of thousands of troops? If they really want to cause chaos, they can send someone to bring the prime minister into the palace early before they get suspicious in the palace. As a result, there is no leader, no prime minister to lead, and the imperial city will not be in crisis today, but why don't the rebels do this?"

Shen Wuchou stroked his beard and said, "General Zuo has naturally thought of the answer."

"That's right." Zuo Xuanji said with a bitter smile: "It's just because today's situation is exactly what the rebels in the palace want to see. Beating the ministers and hanging the assassin's body on the gate of the imperial city. The purpose of all this is, They are all trying to anger the Prime Minister and force him to take action. The Prime Minister also fell into their trap and deployed troops to besiege the city as expected. All of this was planned by the rebellious party. Since the Prime Minister was plotted by the rebellious party, this How can we possibly succeed in besieging the city?"

Shen Wuchou said calmly: "Xiahou Yuanzhen's attack was indeed a strong one, but it also exposed his own strength." He stroked his beard and said: "Before this, although we knew that the Xiahou family must have hidden secrets in the Shence Army. There are few nails, but we can't confirm who it is one by one. Even Tang Changgeng of the Wu-Wei Army, we know that he is secretly involved with Xiahou Yuanzhen, but at the critical moment, will this person really obey Xiahou Yuanzhen's orders? , we are not sure whether he is really Xiahou Yuanzhen's person." Fu Xu said: "But in this situation, Xiahou Yuanzhen's power in the military has been completely exposed, and he has also made a big show of it with many Xiahou party members in the DPRK. Besiege the imperial city, and in this way, we can solve it once and for all."

"It not only brings the hidden power of the Xiahou family to the surface, but also takes the opportunity to accuse these people of rebellion and cleanse them." Zuo Xuanji nodded and said: "It is indeed very clever. But..., the country Xiang has an army of 30,000 men, who can defeat this army?"
