When Chu Qianqiu deceived Miss Yuan Qin, he once made an assumption.
Huang Qianhu aroused the anger of the Shenwei Army by massacring the people in the Jiangwu Hall, setting off a frenzy of rebellion, and even united with Daxia to overthrow the Shenwu Army.
After coming into contact with the Yuanyang Sect, he believed that his guess was wrong and that the real enemies were the Yuanyang Sect and the bad people of Daxia.
But Huang Qianhu's behavior was so abnormal that he had to make a bolder guess.
My guess was not wrong, but this matter was not decided by my father-in-law, but by a higher-level military officer. This person could only be Liu Dutong.
If it were other senior military officials, my father-in-law would not be so panicked.
Only Liu Dutong, to whom he owed a huge favor, could make him show such a weak expression.
The Shenwei Army was indeed planning to rebel. His father-in-law might have objected, but his opposition was ineffective, and Liu Dutong still decided to push forward with this conspiracy.
Huang Qianhu looked surprised. He really didn't expect that Chu Qianqiu would guess the answer correctly.
"My dear nephew, how did you guess that?"
"It's hard to repay a debt of gratitude. I'm afraid there aren't many people in the world who can make my uncle so nervous."
"If it is Liu Dutong, everything will be explained. Only with Liu Dutong's help can the bad people of Daxia dare to risk the disapproval of the world."
"I'm afraid Governor Zheng also knows about this matter, and has adopted a tacit attitude, or even added fuel to the flames."
Chu Qianqiu smiled bitterly and said that he originally thought that the matter about the martial arts hall was just a bad person from Daxia taking risks for the sake of profit.
But he forgot to consider an issue. Once this matter was exposed, the Shenwei Army would become obedient to the imperial court and even declare war on Daxia.
As long as Daxia's commanders still have some brains, they will definitely find ways to avoid risks, and the biggest way to avoid risks is to lure Liu Dutong into the water.
In other words, the two parties hit it off immediately.
Liu Dutong may have wanted to rebel for a long time, but he just needed a spark, a landmark event, to complete the ideological mobilization of the army.
The bad guys in Daxia contacted the other party and helped Liu Dutong accomplish all this without getting Liu Dutong's hands dirty.
This way everything can be explained.
"Back then Brother Chu Xian said that a loving mother often loses her sons, so she should let her good nephew suffer a lot from childhood, and then he can teach martial arts after he has established his moral character."
"After all, it's not difficult for us to spend a little more money and catch up to the success of accumulating energy."
"Brother Chu Xian is still known as a prophet."
Huang Qianhu couldn't help but sigh, as if he was remembering the years when the three brothers, including Master Juemi, worked together to fight for the world.
"You are right. Rabbits can bite people when they are anxious. Civil servants and military attachés from all over Lingzhou are pushing this matter, which ultimately led to today's tragic disaster that is out of control."
"General Long had a life-saving grace with Liu Dutong, and he was the general he promoted. I am not surprised at all that he would do such a thing."
"Thirty years ago, when General Long was summoned to Beijing by the gold medal, Liu Dutong advocated for peace talks with Daxia, and even united with Daxia to fight back to Beijing."
Huang Qianhu mentioned the past thirty years ago, which made Chu Qianqiu listen attentively. The preciousness of this information could not be found at the bottom.
"But General Long knows that as long as the Maha Temple is still there, it is impossible to allow such a thing to happen."
The Maha Temple is the real backer and trump card of the Xiao family royal family. As long as the two holy places have not given up on the dynasty they support, ordinary frontier army rebellion is unlikely to succeed.
"So General Long negotiated with the imperial court with the guarantee of the eminent monk of Maha Temple."
"He voluntarily returned to the imperial capital and accepted the supervision of the imperial court."
"But the imperial court cannot take action against the officers of the Shenwei Army. It must ensure the prosperity of its subordinates and not settle accounts later."
"Is the imperial court trustworthy?" Chu Qianqiu couldn't help but ask.
"The Xiao family royal family is naturally not worthy of trust." Huang Qianhu said contemptuously. He used to look down on the Xiao family royal family, and he still looks down on them now.
"But the Arhats of Mohe Temple still have some credibility. After all, compared to General Long, once they lose the support of Mohe Temple, it will be the biggest crisis for the Xiao family royal family."
Chu Qianqiu nodded. It seemed that General Long was not a simple and loyal person.
In the past thirty years, he has also maintained the interests of his subordinates and maintained the balance of the imperial court in the imperial capital. No wonder after so many years, the soldiers and officers of the Divine Power Army still miss him.
"So the imperial court does not dare to openly deal with the Shenwei Army. It can only use some unscrupulous tactics to slowly make us retreat."
"Liu Dutong believes that if the imperial court is boiling frogs in warm water, they will be boiled to death sooner or later, so it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to resist."
"Even General Long doesn't think he can fight against Maha Temple. Why does Liu Dutong have such confidence?" Chu Qianqiu couldn't help but ask.
Huang Qianhu nodded and praised Chu Qianqiu for getting to the point. However, he did not answer directly. Instead, he said slowly
"Twelve years ago, during the battle at Tianlang City, does my nephew know why Daxia took the initiative to withdraw his troops?"
"Could it be that the imperial court wants to re-activate General Long?" Chu Qianqiu said in surprise.
"My nephew's guess is correct."
Huang Qianhu sighed and continued:
"The commander-in-chief of Daxia, Wei Wuji, was also a rare and famous general. After taking advantage of everything, he decisively chose to stop."
"At that time, the Shenwei Army and the imperial court were negotiating, demanding that General Long be reinstated. After Daxia retreats, there will naturally be no reason."
"Liu Dutong did this for no other reason than to cut off General Long's last worries and let him choose between the court and the army."
"Why go to this extent?"
Chu Qianqiu could not understand Liu Dutong's thoughts.
"We all want General Long to come back, but I believe that doing so will not satisfy General Long, so I have opposed Liu Dutong's actions many times."
"But this time I understood that he had already rolled the dice."
"There is going to be chaos in Lingzhou. I can't stop Liu Dutong, and I can't stop it."
"So we have negotiated with the Yuanyang Sect. They originally planned to use two substitutes to replace you and Xiaoxiao, and let you fake your death in the martial arts hall."
Chu Qianqiu suddenly raised his head, revealing a look of disbelief. The substitute that the Yuanyang sect originally planned to use to steal the sky was now used for this purpose?
If he had not left the Martial Arts Hall on the first day, he would have fallen into the hands of the Yuanyang Sect and become their hostage like Xiaoxiao?
"From tomorrow on, I will arrange for you and Xiaoxiao to go to the outlying island to practice, and come back with different identities in the future."
At this level, are your father-in-law's arrangements still so watertight?
Chu Qianqiu finally understood why his father, his father-in-law, and Master Juemi had become so famous.
"What about you, uncle?"
"Liu Dutong was very kind to me. Without his help, Xiaoxiao would have died that year."
"I will stay and help him. Even if he wants to use his arms as a chariot, I will rush forward with him."
"It was like this on the battlefield back then, and it can only be like this now."
"What's more, the business of the Chu and Huang families is here. If I don't stay, you two little guys will not starve to death on the outlying islands." Huang Qianhu smiled, as if he had escaped from the shadow of the incident.
"Don't worry, even if there is a war between the two countries, uncle will still live well. He just can't see Xiaoxiao all the time. You have to understand what I mean."
"I will protect Xiao Xiao."
"Instead of protecting her, I sent a bunch of guards. Are they no more useful than you now?"
"I want to love and protect her for the rest of my life."
"Yes, uncle."
"Qianqiu, remember what you said today."
"By the way, I have something else for you." Huang Qianhu said slowly, as if he had made a decision.
