Qi Ning stood among the pile of corpses, and the horse under the gray-robed man also stepped on the corpses, with a strong smell of blood floating in the air.

But the two of them were talking calmly, as if they were chatting.

"If one day Qi can control the Great Chu behind his back, will Qi be safe and worry-free?" Qi Ning sighed: "This sounds incredible, but for some people, it is not completely impossible. At least someone has already prepared to do this."

"Manage the State of Chu?" said the man in gray robe: "How can Qi control the State of Chu?"

"Of course, it is to let the people controlled by Qi control the court of Chu." Qi Ning stared at the other party's eyes: "It's like causing civil strife in Chu and allowing the people controlled by Qi to seize power. In this way, wouldn't Qi control the court of Chu?"

The man in gray robe let out a strange laugh: "Is there a person like Chu that can be controlled by Qi?"

"As long as you are careful, you can always find it." Qi Ning said: "You must have heard of the name Hidden Lord!" As soon as the words fell, he shook his head and said: "Not only have you heard of it, you should be familiar with anyone."

"Hidden Lord?" asked the man in gray robe: "Who is the Hidden Lord you are talking about?"

Qi Ning looked calm and said, "My Great Chu pacified the East China Sea and knew that the East China Sea family was always a hidden danger, so she always was more vigilant against them. The East China Sea navy under the command of the Old Marquis of Dan Tai was stationed on the coast of the East China Sea, although it was to have a naval army that could fight on the waters, and to monitor the movements of the East China Sea family nearby to prevent them from being in chaos in the East China Sea. The court was so alert, the East China Sea family still dared to plan rebels in the East China Sea. If there was no backer behind him, or if no one gave him enough confidence, how could they dare to block the future of the family and intend to rebel?"

The man in gray robe didn't say anything, but Qi Ning continued: "Shen Liangqiu and Jiang Mantian privately colluded with each other to murder the Grand Governor of Dan Tai, intending to control the Donghai Navy. I kept wondering, why did Shen Liangqiu do this? What reason did he have to go with Jiang Mantian and attempt to rebel? Don't he know that even if he really controls the Donghai Navy, then the Donghai Navy and the Donghai family can really cause great storms? Throughout history, no one will easily rebel without any chance. Either he has to go to the forefront, or there is a huge temptation to make him take risks."

"Shen Liangqiu and the Grand Governor of Dantai are brothers. He is also one of the East China Sea Navy. It is natural to be promoted to a higher position in time, so of course he cannot be desperate and rebelled." Qi Ning said slowly: "If he can make him and the Jiang family plan to rebel together, they can only have greater interests to tempt him."

The man in gray robe sighed: "Man dies for money, birds die for food, and whatever he wants to get always comes at a price."

"Shen Liangqiu and the Donghai family combined, their strength is far from impossible to compete with the court, so why do they still take risks?" Qi Ning's eyes were sharp: "The reason is actually very simple. In their opinion, the success of the rebellion is very high. Otherwise, with the temperament of these two people, of course they would not take risks. Then why do they think that the rebellion is very likely to be successful? The reason is also very simple, just because they believe that the backer they rely on can help them win, and that backer is of course the hidden master."

Qu Xiaocang and others stood not far away, listening very clearly, but they all said nothing.

"Who is the Hidden Lord? Why can I convince the Donghai Family and Shen Liangqiu?" Qi Ning said: "At the beginning, I suspected that the Hidden Lord was from Dongqi. Because Jiang Mantian built weapons on the island, many of the blacksmiths used were secretly transported to the island by Dongqi people. It can be said that the Dongqi people and the Donghai family have a close relationship in private, and there is also the Feichan Mien on the island. I have always felt that the Feichan Mien was a lackey raised by the Dongqi people, so I have always locked the identity of the Hidden Lord on the Dongqi people, and I feel that the Hidden Lord wanted to use the Donghai family to provoke a chaos in the southeast of the Chu State."

"When Dan Tai Huang pacified the East China Sea, the Donghai family was forced to surrender. Several major families in the East China Sea used to be the generals of the Han family who held great power. After being pacified, the glory of the power before was gone and they could only do some trade." The man in the gray robe sighed: "It is better to have power than to have money. The Donghai family naturally knows in his heart that even if wealth is as rich as a country, as long as the court has a document, all the family wealth is a dream. They seem to have a prosperous business and wealth, but there is always a sharp sword hanging above their heads, and life and death are not in their own hands. In such a situation, how can the Donghai family be at ease?"

Qi Ning nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's better to live than to die. Even if I'm dissatisfied, I don't have a great chance of winning, and the Donghai family dare not act rashly." He smiled bitterly, "I have always been wrong, thinking that the Hidden Lord is from Dongqi, and this is indeed affected by some superficial things. Today I suddenly realized that the Hidden Lord could never be from Dongqi."

"Not a native of Dongqi?"

"What is the purpose of Jiang Mantian and Shen Liangqiu's rebellion?" Qi Ning's face turned cold: "It is to get the benefits he wants in Chu State. If he only serves the people of Dongqi, how could they believe that the people of Dongqi can fight for them in Chu State? Dongqi is just a small country. Even if the whole country is devoted to the efforts, it cannot shake Chu State. Of course, Jiang Mantian and Shen Liangqiu knew that it was impossible to help them achieve their goals with the strength of Qi State. How could they plan to rebel because of the people of Dongqi? The people of Dongqi were indeed involved, but in their opinion, the people of Dongqi were also chess pieces in this chess game, they were just their allies, not their backers."

"What you said seems to make some sense." The gray robe's people were calm and composed.

Qi Ning continued: "The participation of the Dongqi people only increased their confidence, but the hidden master they rely on was of course not a Dongqi people, but a Chu country. In their eyes, the hidden master is of course a very powerful person. Compared with the Dongqi people, the hidden master is much more reliable." He sighed: "This hidden master is indeed powerful and has secretly connected with many forces. Being able to bribe these people to serve him is naturally a lot of promises. These forces that he has won over, all believe that as long as the result is really completed, the hidden master has enough strength to fulfill his promise."

"So who is this hidden master?" asked the man in gray robe.

However, Qi Ning did not answer directly and continued: "I said before that the people of Dongqi survived in the cracks. If they wanted to find a way to make Dongqi survive, they could only go through some extraordinary ways. However, some things can be thought of, it is not easy to put into reality. However, the people of Dongqi were lucky. If the hidden master wanted to achieve his goal, he had to win over many forces. He won over Shen Liangqiu, won over the Donghai family, and even many other strengths in the Chu State.

He still felt that his strength was insufficient, so he turned his attention to Dongqi and secretly colluded with the people of Dongqi. The people of Dongqi have been looking for a way out. The Hidden Lord came to the door, which naturally made the people of Dongqi overjoyed. The two sides hit it off. Yinmao used the power of the people of Dongqi for their own use, but the Dongqi people also wanted to use this to control the Hidden Lord and achieve their own goals. From the beginning, both sides had their own ulterior motives, but for their own purposes, the covenant between the two sides was very solid."

The man in gray robe smiled and said, "It seems that this hidden master is indeed extraordinary. He is planning quietly, and the Chu court knows nothing."

"Over the years, the State of Chu has first focused on the Qinhuai War. After that, the first emperor passed away. The court situation was unstable, and the new emperor wanted to stabilize the court situation." Qi Ning sighed: "From the beginning to the end, this hidden master was acting secretly while taking advantage of the chaos. The most important thing is that the hidden master was too familiar with the situation of the court. He knew the unknown things of the court, and also knew where the court's attention was focused, so he could calmly avoid the secret deployment of the court."

The man in gray robe said, "What do you mean is that the hidden master is from the Chu court?"

"Since the Hidden Lord has colluded with the people of Dongqi, the Hidden Lord naturally wanted to take this opportunity to infiltrate into the Chu State." Qi Ning did not answer directly, but continued: "Under the Hidden Lord's host, the Dongqi people first entered the East China Sea and colluded with the East China Sea family. After that, they began to infiltrate into the capital city of Jianye. Jiang Suiyun was a chess piece of the Dongqi people. Although the Hidden Lord planned the overall situation, he certainly could not come forward in person for many things and kept hiding in the dark. Jiang Suiyun arrived at the capital and defected to the King of Huainan. He even used the recommendation of the King of Huainan to seize control of the Black Scale Camp. If everything went well, then the Black Scale Camp would become

The Hidden Lord deployed a sharp blade near the capital. No, in fact, it really became a sharp blade in the hands of the Dongqi people, because Jiang Suiyun’s real master was not the Hidden Lord, but the Dongqi people who taught him martial arts." Speaking of this, Qi Ning turned his head slightly and looked at Qu Xiaocang and others, and slowly said: "In fact, what Hidden Lord is most worried about is the Shenhou Mansion. The Shenhou Mansion is everywhere and has many ears and ears. Although the Hidden Lord acts secretly, he has always been worried that the people of the Shenhou Mansion will find a flaw. He really wants to send people to infiltrate into the Shenhou Mansion, but the Shenhou Mansion is like an iron barrel, and it is extremely difficult to penetrate the pesticides into it. If you are not careful, you may even show your own traces."

The man in gray robe sighed: "It is true. The Shenhou Mansion has many ears and ears, and the Shenhou Ximen is experienced. If they see the flaws, the consequences will be unimaginable."
