Dugu Ningke is the grand-niece of Yang Guang's mother, Queen Mother Dugu, and calls the current emperor Yang Guang his cousin.
Because of her cleverness and sweet mouth, Dugu Ningke has been deeply loved by Queen Mother Dugu and Yang Guang since she was a child.
But in fact, the real Dugu Ningke died when she was one year old, and now she is possessed by a female demon general sent by Satan, the Great Demon King of the West.
When the red demon star crosses the sky, it will tear a hole in the barrier of China. The task given to her by Satan is to expand the size of the crack so that the Western demons can invade China in a large scale.
If Yuwen Tuo could gather together the bell, sword, ax, pot, and tower artifacts to form the Void Formation, it would be almost impossible for Dugu Ningke to find an opportunity to expand the crack in the process of repairing the mark of the sky.
Unfortunately, since Donghuang Zhong had already been reincarnated as a human and lived in seclusion on the top of Donghuang in Taoyuan Wonderland, Yuwen Tuo never got any clues about it.
Under this situation, Dugu Ningke finally had the opportunity to use the topic to her advantage. She proposed to Yuwen Tuo an alternative to the Void Formation, which was the Road to Babel.
Use six All-Spirit Blood Beads to replace the Demon Refining Pot, use the Babel Tower to replace the Haotian Tower, use the Earth Hexagram to replace the East Emperor Bell, and use two Tengu Sun Eclipses to replace the Pangu Ax.
Finally, with the help of Xuanyuan Sword owned by Yuwen Tuo, the road to Babel can be opened to the interior of Chiguan Demon Star.
This plan is theoretically feasible, but the Road to Babel is an exotic spell from the West, and Dugu Ningke understands its principles best.
As long as he can find a way to plot against Yuwen Tuo and seize the Xuanyuan Sword at the most critical moment, Dugu Ningke can use the power of the Xuanyuan Sword to control the Road to Babel, expand the cracks in the Shenzhou Barrier, and allow Western demons to surge out of the barrier.
And enter.
Dugu Ningke was vicious and scheming. In order to prevent Yuwen Tuo from collecting the five artifacts needed for the Lost Formation, she secretly did many cruel and shameful things, and also secretly prepared some killer tricks that would work at critical moments.
But in front of others, she was still the cute and cute Princess Dugu, and even Yuwen Tuo was kept in the dark by the personality she performed.
"Dugu Ningke's purpose is very clear, which is to prevent Yuwen Tuo from gathering the five artifacts of the Lost Formation."
Lu Xiao rubbed her chin and muttered: "Then, can we use the artifact as a bait to set up a plot to lure Yuwen Tuo and Dugu Ningke over at the same time, so that she can reveal her true nature in front of Yuwen Tuo?"
Yongzhen nodded and said: "Theoretically it is feasible, but there are still many problems that need to be solved."
"Dugu Ningke may indeed be attracted by the artifact as bait, but she probably won't go into battle to snatch the artifact herself. Instead, she will hide in the dark and engage in some conspiracies."
"In contrast, the people in Yuwen Tuo's group are all soldiers and have relatively upright personalities. They may unknowingly become pawns in Dugu Ningke's hands."
The situation Yongzhen mentioned has a high probability of happening. The reason why Dugu Ningke has not been exposed for so many years is mainly because of her caution.
The time at Demon King's Village was originally a good opportunity, but Dugu Ningke had prepared a disguise in advance. In the absence of definite evidence, it is difficult for people to distinguish the fake Yuwen Tuo from the "unable to tie a chicken" Dugu
Get in touch with the princess.
Similar to Lu Xiao's situation, Nicole, who was possessed by Dugu Ningke, was also suppressed by the Chinese barrier and could not use her own spells from the West.
Like Lu Xiao, she chose to relearn Eastern Taoism and achieved remarkable results after more than ten years of secret efforts.
Coupled with the huge wealth owned by the Dugu County Prince and even Yang Guang, Dugu Ningke collected many magic weapons scattered across China out of curiosity.
If really let go, her fighting power will definitely be stronger than the four major generals under Yuwen Tuo.
"How about this."
Lu Xiao thought about it and proposed a new plan again: "Now Yuwen Tuo is temporarily banned by Yang Guang. If traces of ancient artifacts are found, he should send his four major generals to take action."
"We still used the artifact as bait, deliberately letting the subordinates sent by Yuwen Tuo get it, and arranged for Jingchou and others to fight with this person to reduce his combat effectiveness."
Yongzhen's face showed a look of surprise: "I understand what you mean. Arrange a group of people to deliberately let go of Yuwen Tuo's generals during the battle. Dugu Ningke may take advantage of the opponent's weakness to seize them.
Walking magic weapon."
"We will arrange for another group of people to bring Yuwen Tuo, or his most trusted subordinates, to witness this scene with their own eyes and expose Dugu Ningke's true face."
The broad framework of the plan is basically set, and the next step is to fill in the details.
Before Chen Jingchou and Zhang Lie arrived at Daxing City, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen further refined the plan during the day, secretly monitored the Dugu County Prince's Mansion at night, and figured out the night patrol patterns of Daxing City guards.
In about half a month, Lu Xiao did find some clues in the Prince's Mansion.
Dugu Ningke has two personal maids whom he trusts very much, named Shan Xiaoxiao and Yuchi Yanhong.
Among the two, Shan Xiaoxiao is good at sociability. She often goes to the residences of various dignitaries under the instructions of Dugu Ningke, and has established contact with almost all the official maids in Daxing City.
This is a very large intelligence network. dignitaries are not as careful about their words and deeds at home as they are in the court, and they often accidentally spill the beans in front of their family members and maids.
These after-dinner chats were often used by the maids as private conversation materials. Shan Xiaoxiao collected a lot of useful information based on this intelligence network.
Yuchi Yanhong has a more active personality. She is good at riding, shooting and hunting, and often accompanies Dugu Ningke to participate in royal hunting events organized by Yang Guang on a whim.
Yuchi is originally the name of the Xianbei tribe, and Yuchi Yanhong’s hunting behavior is indeed very similar to that of the nomadic descendants of the Xianbei people.
When Yang Guang held a royal hunting event, Lu Xiao stood on the high mountain outside the royal garden and watched from a distance. He always felt that there was something wrong with Yuchi Yanhong.
Traces of the Sky is a game that Lu Xiao played many years ago, and she has almost forgotten the details.
But he still vaguely retains some memories about these two maids. They both seem to have considerable fighting power. It seems that in the timeline of the coming of the devil in the West, he will need to fight with them separately to snatch the artifact.
"This smell...or breath."
Lu Xiao looked thoughtfully at Yuchi Yanhong, who was receiving praise from Dugu Ningke: "A bit like Gu Yuesheng? But in essence, there is a big difference."
Gu Yuesheng is a white fox who has practiced for thousands of years and transformed into a human. After hundreds of years of painstaking training in Tianwai Village, he finally became an immortal.
Using this clue to work backwards, Lu Xiao vaguely recalled some memory fragments.
"Vixen?"
Perhaps the long gaze caught Yuchi Yanhong's attention. The body of the princess's maid, who was receiving compliments from the noble ladies, suddenly stiffened for a moment, and then turned her head to look in the direction of Lu Xiao without leaving a trace.
Although she sensed something was wrong with her beast-like intuition, Yuchi Yanhong was unable to detect anything unusual due to the distance, and there was a vague look of doubt in her eyes.
