Creed of the heavens

This set of plans is theoretically feasible, but the Road to Babel is an exotic spell from the West, and Dugu Ning Ke knows its principles best.

As long as he can find a way to plot against Yutuo to take Xuanyuan Sword at the most critical moment, Dugu Ning Ke can use the power of Xuanyuan Sword to manipulate the road to Babel, expand the gap in the barrier of Shenzhou, and let the western demons surge from outside the barrier And enter.

Dugu Ning Ke is vicious and scheming. In order to prevent Yu Tuo from collecting the five artifacts needed by the Lost Formation, she secretly did a lot of shady and cruel things, and quietly prepared some killers that will work at critical moments.

But in front of people, she is still the charming and lovely Princess Dugu, and even Yu Tuo has been kept in the dark by the personality she performed.

"Dugu Ningke's purpose is very clear, it is to prevent Yu Tuo from gathering and arranging the five artifacts of the Lost Formation."

Lu Xiao rubbed her chin and pondered: "Then, can we use the artifact as a bait to draw Yutuo and Dugu Ningke over at the same time, and let her reveal her true nature in front of Yutuo?"

Yongzhen nodded and said: "Theoretically it is possible, but there are still many problems to be solved."

"Dugu Ning Ke may indeed be attracted by the artifact as bait, but she probably won't go into battle to snatch the artifact by herself, but will hide in the dark and engage in some conspiracy."

"In contrast, members of Yutuo's faction are all from military backgrounds, and their personalities are more upright. They are likely to become pawns in Dugu Ningke's charge without realizing it."

What Yongzhen said has a high probability of happening. The reason why Dugu Ning Ke has not been exposed for so many years is mainly because of her caution.

The time at Mowangzhai was a good opportunity, but Dugu Ningke had prepared a disguise in advance. In the absence of definite evidence, it was difficult for people to compare the fake Yutuo and the "powerless" Dugu The princess got in touch.

Similar to Lu Xiao's situation, Nicole who was possessed by Dugu Ning Ke was also suppressed by the Divine Barrier, unable to use the spells she had passed down from the West.

Like Lu Xiao, she chose to re-learn oriental Taoism, and she has made remarkable achievements after more than ten years of secret efforts.

Coupled with the huge wealth in Dugu County's palace and even Yang Guang's possession, Dugu Ning Ke collected a lot of magic weapons scattered all over China out of curiosity.

If you really let go and fight, her combat power is definitely stronger than the four major generals under Yu Tuo's command.

"How about this."

Lu Xiao thought about it for a while and proposed a new plan again: "Now that Yu Tuo is temporarily grounded by Yang Guang, if he finds traces of the ancient artifact, he should send his four generals to help."

"We still used the artifact as a bait, deliberately let the subordinates sent by Yutuo get it, and arranged for Jing Qiu and the others to fight this person to reduce his combat effectiveness."

A look of surprise appeared on Yongzhen's face: "I understand what you mean. Arrange a group of people to deliberately let go of Yutuo's generals during the battle. Dugu Ningke may take advantage of the weakness of the other party to snatch it. Take the artifact."

"We will arrange another group of people to bring Yu Tuo or his most trusted subordinates to witness this scene with their own eyes and expose Dugu Ning Ke's true colors."

The general framework of the plan is basically set, and the next step is how to fill in the details.

Before Chen Jingchou and Zhang Lie arrived at Daxing City, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen further perfected the plan during the day, quietly monitored Dugu County Prince's Mansion at night, and found out the night patrol rules of Daxing City's guards.

In about half a month, Lu Xiao did find some clues in the county palace.

Dugu Ning Ke has two very trusted personal maids, named Shan Xiaoxiao and Yuchi Yanhong.

Among the two, Shan Xiaoxiao is good at communication. Under Dugu Ning Ke's instructions, she often goes to the mansions of various dignitaries and nobles, and has established contact with almost all the official maids in Daxing City.

This is a very large intelligence network. The dignitaries are not as cautious in their words and deeds at home as they are in the court, and they often leak their words in front of their families and maids accidentally.

These after-dinner chats are often used by the maids as private conversation material, and Shan Xiaoxiao has collected a lot of useful information by virtue of this intelligence network.

Yuchi Yanhong's character is more active, she is good at riding, shooting and hunting, and often accompanies Dugu Ning Ke to participate in the royal siege activities organized by Yang Guang on a whim.

Yuchi was originally the name of the Xianbei tribe, and Yuchi Yanhongshou really behaved like a descendant of the nomadic Xianbei people.

When Yang Guang held the royal siege, Lu Xiao stood far away on the high mountain outside the royal garden and looked into the distance. He always felt that there was something wrong with Yuchi Yanhong.

Scar of the Sky is a game that Lu Xiao played many years ago, and the specific details have long been forgotten.

But he still vaguely retains some memories of these two maids. They seem to have high combat effectiveness. It seems that the timeline of the arrival of the Western Demon World needs to fight with them separately to snatch the artifact.

"This smell or breath."

Lu Xiao looked thoughtfully at Yuchi Yanhong who was receiving Dugu Ningke's compliment: "A bit like Gu Yuesheng? But there is a big difference in essence."

Gu Yuesheng is a white fox who has practiced for thousands of years and turned into a human. After hundreds of years of painstaking cultivation in Tianwai Village, he finally became a fairy.

Relying on this clue, Lu Xiao vaguely remembered some memory fragments.

"Fox spirit?"

Perhaps it was the long staring that caught Yuchi Yanhong's attention. The body of the princess maid who was receiving compliments from the noble ladies suddenly froze for a moment, and then turned her head to look in Lu Xiao's direction without a trace.

Although she sensed something was wrong with her beast-like intuition, Yuchi Yanhong couldn't find anything unusual due to the distance, and her eyes faintly showed doubts.

Delusion?

Chapter 400 Enemies?spouse?

After returning to the inn, Lu Xiao told Yongzhen about her discovery.

"A vixen?"

Yongzhen tried to speculate: "If Yuchi Yanhong is really a vixen, what about Shan Xiaoxiao who is similar to her?"

Lu Xiao shrugged and said, "Although I don't know what race it is, it's probably formed by some kind of spirit. Dugu Ning Ke really knows how to choose maids."

Yongzhen nodded thoughtfully: "Now that I think about it, Shan Xiaoxiao's abnormal social skills are inherently problematic, and her language may contain some kind of unnatural power."

After half a month of observation, both Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen found some abnormalities.

The official maids who have talked with Shan Xiaoxiao always get along with her very quickly, unconsciously revealing the secrets that her master has leaked.

One or two can be said to be more speculative in the compatibility between the two parties, but ten or eight is absolutely abnormal.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. After half a month of observation, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen had a deeper understanding of the forces that Dugu Ning Ke secretly controlled. It was indeed the right decision not to act rashly.

While the two maids were busy expanding their network of contacts, Dugu Ning Ke would go to Yu Taishi's mansion in Dongcheng District almost every day without warning, squatting in Yu Tuo's study in the name of surveillance.

Yu Tuo was temporarily grounded by Yang Guang, so he could only sit in the Taishi Mansion to handle official business, and handed over all the affairs of going out to the four major ministries to solve in the future.

Yang Shuo and Han Teng returned after completing their missions one after another, Shangguan Zhenyuan was sent by Yutuo to the Dunhuang Grottoes to check on the situation of the rebel soldiers, and Hu Lu'an went south to the Bashu area to find the Nuwa stone.

In the process of monitoring Dugu Ning Ke's actions, Lu Xiao discovered a strange thing.

In front of Yu Tuo, the ruthless Princess Dugu occasionally shows a performance that does not match her personality.

She looked at Yu Tuo with complex eyes, sometimes showing tenderness and love, and sometimes showing ruthlessness.

After a long period of observation, Lu Xiao summed up a pattern.

When alone with Yu Tuo, Dugu Ning Ke's performance will be more peaceful.

Although occasionally he would make mischievous complaints about the grand master, but most of the time he took the initiative to lead the topic with a smile.

Yu Tuo is the kind of rigid and dull character who can't say a fart in three sentences. He will only answer one or two when Dugu Ning Ke takes the initiative to provoke the topic. The two personalities complement each other to a certain extent.
