Although Qi Xiaotong smoothly explained the grudge relationship between the Qi family and Donglu, he could not completely conceal their hidden military intentions.
Killing Donglu would be beneficial to both Dafeng and Qiongzhou, so she was so concerned about it.
However, the King of Korea was also happy to do this.
As expected, he had begun to fear the Donglu forces.
My own prince is so powerful that he still has to guard against him, let alone the heavy cavalry of a foreign race?
If such a wild horse were to run loose, it would definitely be a tragedy of bloodshed and drifting.
Even, destroy the country!
Therefore, from the moment the rumors began to spread, he had already developed the determination to remove the cancer.
In addition, Jin Liufu took the opportunity to offer advice, which further confirmed his own judgment.
The final conclusion is that the Qi family can be used to weaken Donglu's strength, or to kill them directly.
However, in this process, Goryeo should not be too involved in it, so as not to fall into the blame of others, it only needs to do its own defense to prevent trouble from causing trouble.
As for what methods Qi Xiaotong will use to act, that is her own business.
In short, just watch from the sidelines without participating.
Naturally, it was better to decline the hunting invitation she sent her. At such a sensitive moment, there was no need to get too close.
If there is no Donglu incident, we can still keep in touch with each other to build a relationship, but now is not the time.
If it is misinterpreted by others as a conspiracy between the two parties, wouldn't it be an unjust accusation?
You should pay attention when you need to pay attention, there is no need to add worries.
In fact, Qi Xiaotong also expected that the King of Korea would refuse, but she just wanted to see how he would react after learning about the location.
Are you surprised? Or do you think it doesn't matter?
As it turns out, it's neither.
The explanation given by the King of Korea was that there were too many wild animals in that area, so it was not advisable to venture into it.
Moreover, I am a kindhearted person, and it would be unbearable for me to step on an ant to death, so how can I be willing to take the initiative to increase the number of killings?
Amitabha, very good, very good.
Not only that, he also ordered the hunting area to be sealed off to prevent unwary 'common people' from straying into it.
This...it's obvious that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?
If the King of Korea admits it generously, it is a secret place of their royal family and it is inconvenient for outsiders to set foot in it. In this case, Qi Xiaotong will relax his vigilance and think that the possibility of something fishy there is relatively small.
However, if he blocks it so directly, it is equivalent to telling you that it contains secrets that he does not want outsiders to know.
This phenomenon also confirmed her previous guess to a certain extent.
There must be something weird in that place.
If combined with the glass mirror fragments obtained previously, it is very likely that that is where Li Hongyu was imprisoned.
Because even if it was the granary and arsenal of Goryeo, it would be impossible for this king to react like this.
The reason is very simple.
Qiongzhou's agricultural richness is many times higher than that of Goryeo, not to mention military manufacturing. It's like a sky and a place.
Since we are facing a powerful boss and it's too late to ask for guidance, why should we be so self-conscious?
To put it bluntly, the things that others have eliminated are all your latest breakthroughs.
This move may seem like nothing, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is illogical.
Although Qi Xiaotong is certain of the above speculation, there is still a lack of solid evidence to support it.
She decided to make a night visit herself to see if she found anything special, so as to guide her future action plan.
As for the blockade obstacles arranged by the King of Korea, they were basically useless in front of her, and there was no resistance at all.
And this situation is where her martial arts training is absolutely useful.
…
In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
In the bleak cold wind, there was a black figure moving quickly like a ghost.
If you don't distinguish carefully, it will look like an illusion.
This person is naturally Qi Xiaotong, who is wearing night clothes.
It didn't take long for her to follow the directions on the map and arrive at the 'cottage' that the Shi brothers had spied on before.
When I looked up, I saw that the cliff was about ten feet high and as smooth as abrasives. It was absolutely difficult to climb without a ladder.
Not only that, there are not even any vines growing up and down to lend strength to it. It is said to be extremely dangerous, but it is better to say it is impregnable.
For ordinary people, it would be as difficult as climbing over this obstacle, but for Qi Xiaotong, she was still confident enough to give it a try.
I saw that she pulled out three sharp daggers and threw them casually, inserting them into the upper, middle and lower positions of the cliff.
After everything was in place, she jumped up and landed on the dagger at the bottom, and then took advantage of the momentum to get up again, straight up to the middle position.
Repeating the same trick, she successfully jumped up to the dagger at the top, barely touching the object, and then took advantage of the situation to get up again.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
When she reached the upper edge of the cliff, she swung the long sword in her hand and inserted it into the stone crevice beside her.
In this way, a so-so support point was barely obtained.
After she stabilized her body slightly, she took advantage of the momentum and jumped up to the top of the cliff.
It’s so dangerous!
I almost didn’t come up!
Qi Xiaotong secretly rejoiced twice, and then looked towards the cave sky ring at his feet.
Since you are standing at a high place and looking far away, you can have a panoramic view of the layout below.
Although the night was hazy, it was still possible to identify it with the help of the faint glowing firelight.
Liao Wang saw that the terrain below was roughly in the shape of an upright plate, half a mile long both left and right.
In other words, the Shi brothers' previous explorations only saw the tip of the iceberg, not the whole picture.
This place was far larger and vaster than she had imagined.
In the field of vision, there are roads and roads, and houses are densely packed and numerous.
In addition to residential buildings and common infrastructure, there are also many artificial green forests and cultivated fertile fields, giving people the impression that they are like the paradise described by Tao Yuanming.
However, this place lacks a bit of harmony and has a bit more solemnity, which is very different from the atmosphere described by Mr. Jingjie.
You said, in such a big place, where should I start?
That is where to start.
While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a faint sound of Hujia playing in his ears.
The feeling is looming, and you can't hear it unless you listen carefully.
Although the music was played harshly and unsmoothly, the sense of sadness and beauty was so strong that people couldn't help but feel moved when they heard it.
Who is this? Why is he still playing when he is up in the middle of the night?
Just as he was about to make fun of him, Qi Xiaotong suddenly felt his heart tremble, as if he had realized something.
