"What is Ding Kui doing? He ran to Zhenna City to appeal to me for peace talks with that kid who can't even open his eyes." Shao Dianyong received the latest information.
Yang Zhao analyzed: "The previous strategy of our court was to let Ding Kui occupy Nanzhao Prefecture and contain Zhenjing City. Unexpectedly, Shao Dianjian and Shao Dianrun would support him, making him a force that could influence the domestic situation.
However, it is impossible for Ding Kui to support Shao Diancong. He must have other motives for going to Zhennan City to show off. In my humble opinion, he may want to delay time and prevent us from unifying the country as soon as possible.
It is undeniable that he is a genius. Relying on the inheritance of the Ding family, he has developed many new weapons over the years and trained troops who are proficient in the new weapons. Give him time to train more new troops.
What he needs most now is time. Once the full potential of the Protector Hou Ding family is revealed, we will face a powerful enemy, so we must not let him develop and we need to do our best to suppress him."
"I agree that Ding Kui is a genius, ahem." Fan Yu cleared his throat, "But it's not a military one, but a business wizard. Essentially, he is a businessman. He is best at doing business."
He looked around and found that most people were nodding, so he continued: "Have you noticed? Every battle he commanded was for profit, and he never fought a war without benefits.
This time he called on the king to have peace talks with Zhenjing City, simply because he wanted to act as a middleman to mediate the war between our country and Zhenjing City, increase his voice over Shaodian Kingdom, and seek more benefits from our country and Zhenjing City.
In fact, our court can take the opportunity to invite Ding Kui to Xingbang City and listen to his true thoughts. If possible, the king may wish to bribe him with heavy profits and induce him to send troops to attack the capital. If this plan is successful, our court will soon be able to unify the country."
Xuanyuan Xiong, who rarely expressed his opinions, suddenly said: "You have all underestimated Ding Kui! Everyone here, I just want to ask, which of you has a combat potential comparable to Ding Kui? At the age when he was promoted to dominate the knight, who were you?
What kind of cultivation?"
Everyone was silent. Although they all held high positions and many of them had level six combat abilities, none of them broke through level six earlier than Ding Kui. In this regard, no one could compare with Ding Kui.
"What's really great about him is his training ability!" Xuanyuan Xiong continued, "There may be some luck involved, but no one should object to saying that he is the most outstanding martial arts genius in the history of the Ding family.
His thinking habits have been developed through long-term training and battles. If you master his habits, you can analyze his thoughts. Everyone knows that he comes from the Invisible Sword Sect, he is very particular about winning without any moves, and he is best at adapting to changes.
The biggest flaw of the Invisible Sword Sect is the lack of initiative, and there is no way to adapt to the situation. Ding Kui is good at responding to the enemy from behind but not good at taking the initiative to attack. This can be seen by analyzing his previous records.
We are at war with Zhenjing City, and he suddenly called for peace talks. There must be a reason behind it. It should not be his original intention. It is probably related to Zhenjing City. We should strengthen the collection of intelligence on Zhenjing City."
The leader of the indigenous nobles had a different point of view, but he was right to the point and many people agreed with his point of view.
"Really, Ding Kui will not take the initiative to provoke others. He can hide in Nanzhao Prefecture to recuperate. There is no need to actively intervene in the conflict between us and Zhenjing City. He should have important information that we don't know." Yao Ai was the first.
Someone stood up to support Xuanyuan Xiong.
The Yao family has its roots in Hailin Prefecture, and there is no conflict of interest with the Xuanyuan family. The relationship between the two families has always been harmonious.
"What Duke Zhongguo and Duke Rongguo said is reasonable, and the analysis of Duke Dingguo and Duke Xingguo is also possible. In this way, I can summon Ding Kui and send additional people to Zhenjing to find out the news." Shaodianyong synthesized the opinions of several dukes.
.
He did not want to offend any of the dukes. The four major families of Yang Xuanyuan, Yao and Fan supported most of the Xingbang City court, and he must unite them around him.
Shaodian was also puzzled by Ding Kui's appeal.
"What is Ding Kui's real purpose in going to Zhennancheng? Who has he met?" He summoned Shaodian, the new director of the Intelligence Department, to ask coldly.
"Ding Kui went to Zhenna City to visit Prince Zhongwang, stayed for less than half an hour, then left, and then left the city to the west. His true purpose is still difficult to judge."
Shaodian Leng was originally a member of the Knights Association responsible for monitoring nobles in various places. After he was transferred to the Intelligence Department, he developed secret spies from his old subordinates and quickly re-established an intelligence network.
"I've only met Shaodianjian? Let me have peace talks with Shaodianyong? What good will this do to him?" Shaodianshi had already promoted Ding Kui to an enemy equal to Shaodianyong.
"Is it possible?" Shaodian was about to speak coldly but stopped.
"explain!"
"Ding Kui may negotiate with the rebel king Shaodian Yong on behalf of the deposed king Shaodianfeng. If they reach an agreement, it is very likely that they will join forces to deal with the imperial court." Shaodian said coldly what he was thinking.
Shaodian's expression froze. What Shaodian Leng said was exactly what he was worried about. The combination of these two hostile forces would completely suppress Zhenjing City.
"Immediately investigate the people Shao Dianfeng has met recently. You must not let anyone go, even those you have not spoken to." He does not dare to put Shao Dianfeng under house arrest now, after all, that is what his ancestors wanted.
.
"Okay, uncle general, let's accompany Brother Yu to the rebel territory. If possible, help the security bureau solve some problems." Ding Kui asked Shi Jiang to pretend to be himself and go to the west to attract the enemy's attention.
After sending Ao Yu and General Shi away, he quietly sneaked into Zhenna City and came to a medium-sized inn, which was actually an industry secretly controlled by the Jiang family.
"Luan'er, where is uncle?"
Shaodian Luan disguised himself as a middle-aged woman and waited for him in a guest room.
"My uncle has gone to arrange our identities for us. It is always troublesome to go to the magic branch from the Central Magic Branch. There are several review procedures, and it is not as convenient as before."
Ding Kui and Shaodian Luan wanted to go through the portal, but the Magic Association, at the request of the Prince Regent, strictly controlled the personnel exchanges between Zhenna City and Zhenjing City. Without suitable identities, they could not use the portal.
"Haha, luckily I have other preparations. We won't go to the Magic Club."
"Where to go? Take the road to Hexi Prefecture?"
"No, let's go directly to Master Gui." Ding Kui knew that Shaodian would not let him sneak into Zhenjing City easily, so he specifically asked Ruan Xingzhu if he could use Gui Jing's magic tower.
Gui Jing knew Shao Dianhuan's intentions. He helped Shao Dianluan without interfering in the struggle for the throne. He simply gave a favor and helped Shao Dianluan and Ding Kui secretly sneak into Zhenjing City.
An inconspicuous carriage drove out from behind the Magic Tower and blended into the traffic on the street under the cover of night.
Phew, a gust of wind blew by, and the curtain of the carriage moved. The wheels still rolled forward smoothly. No one noticed that the four horses pulling the carriage became more energetic.
