Alternative Jianghu Adventures

The crisis did not come out of the blue.

As early as when He Lianqiu first met Xia Yun, she was going to tell him about the general trend of change, but Shen Gongze forcibly put the matter between her and Cheng Zhe on the table halfway, which made He Lianqiu's The topic is interrupted.

And it was on the first day of junior high school that he hurriedly announced the news that the Ten Mile Sword was coming to take Helian Qiu's head, so Shen Gongze took this opportunity to call Xia Yun and others to tell him.

"Master Yun, are you looking for me?"

Yuan Hua pushed open the door from the outside, and was surprised to see that the study room was fully staffed. Yuan Chong stepped in after him, and said, "Didn't Pavilion Master Shen call you here?"

"What did you call them here for?" Chu Yi was puzzled and looked up at Shen Gongze.

——Obviously, in his cognition, these two brats' martial arts skills are so poor that they will die, and the strategy of governing the country is useless in the current situation. He can't understand the purpose of Shen Gongze sending people to call these two people.

"Tsk, anyway, it's the world of others in the future, so it's okay to follow and listen." Xia Yun curled her lips, raised her chin, and pointed at the future prince and princess, "Go, find a chair to sit on, don't Disturb adults talking about things."

Yuan Chong stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes.

"Since the Southern Army signed a treaty with Usai, Lu Kun's followers have come out."

Shen Gongze sat on the main seat, and moved out a national sand table from under the desk!

Small flags of various colors have been planted all over the sand table, divided into red and blue sides, with Wushui as the boundary. The south of Wushui is almost all southern forces, while the blue flags to the north are all over the ground.

He drew a line on the Linyun Mountains on his own, and then replaced the place from Wushui to the middle of the line with a blue flag representing the north.

"The method is very simple. Lu Kun is eager to prove the legitimacy of his regime to the world. After all, the real emperor is still trapped in Nangong by him. In the area under the jurisdiction of the Northern Army, all the people have gradually believed in his way. The word 'assistant'."

Shen Gongze paused, and then said:

"On the other hand, he has spared no effort to tarnish the reputation of the Southern Army, so he has been looking for excuses. This time, regardless of whether the Southern Army and Usay's peace talks are successful or not, it will definitely become an opportunity for him to make a fuss—as expected, you guys After leaving Laquan, rumors spread in the south that Vice General Lantian was in collusion with people from other races and knew foreign countries.

Although there is no conclusion, the common people don't care whether you have evidence or not.Gradually, people's hearts will be separated. "

This is a dead end.

The southern army was not strong enough, so they had to join forces with Wu Sai to attack Lu Kun's army from both sides.Although the leader of Usai claimed that he had no interest in the Central Plains, this kind of thing is far from everyone's heart, and no one can guarantee it. Even the joint move was a careful choice made by the young emperor after repeated consideration.

If they join forces, there is still enough time to deal with the crisis that may not happen, but if they don't join forces, it will be a deadly chess game for both parties.

This is a grand gamble. This game relies on strategy, courage and luck, but the gamble is on the belonging and safety of the entire world.

"Even though General Lantian and Vice General Yue are well-known in the army and among the people, neither of them can stop the intrusion of rumors."

Rumors are invisible and pervasive, and the more turbulent they are, the wider they spread, which is really a headache.

After all, the mouth grows on the human mouth, how can it stop the mouths of many people?If this kind of handling is a little careless, later generations will call it "the only husband" or "the thief of the people"-the Southern Army and the young emperor are closely related. Once Lan Tian's attitude is too tough, Lu Kun will catch his tail again, so that in the future " "Abandoned Emperor" can even be justified.

"Vice General Yue?" Xia Yun frowned, "Who is it? Wasn't the former Vice General named Sha Xianren?"

"Yue Pingsheng." Shen Gongze explained: "The former chief disciple of Ding Fan and Ding Escort of the former SF Escort Bureau, Sha Xianren was beheaded by Lan Tian for violating the military law, and the previous SF Escort Bureau did not do business after the war broke out. He decided to join the army—he already had a bit of boxing skills, but with his proficiency in the terrain, he was promoted quickly."

Xia Yun was dumbfounded.

She doesn't remember Sha Xianren's appearance very much anymore. After all, it's been so long, the only thing she remembers is that he hid Lan Tian as a robber and robbed rich families to barely maintain the military expenditure of the Southern Army during the initial period.

His behavior is indeed not a gentleman, but he has no bad intentions.

I have always heard that Lan Tian is a person who is very clear about rewards and punishments. I never thought that such a person can be beheaded without hesitation to achieve the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, establishing prestige in the army, and buying people's hearts among the people.

... As expected of the late emperor's favorite person.

Xia Yun thought to himself: At first glance, I thought he was a simple and honest fat man, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.

"However, since you have reconnected with Shen Yuan Pavilion, Lu Kun's offensive has obviously accelerated." Shen Gongze pointed to the sand table, "Just now I drew the changes in the battle situation after you left for a year, and now this line has to go further. Nan pushes a little more."

"After we landed?" Xia Yun smacked his lips.

"Yes." Shen Gongze said, "He Lianqiu and I have been looking for what stimulated him... thinking that if we can find it, maybe we can catch Lu Kun's lifeline. Later, I read the message you sent back. After the letter, I finally confirmed one thing."

"what?"

"The ends of the earth." Shen Gongze gently dropped these four words, which changed the expressions of Xia Yun and others.

Yuan Chong sat restlessly on the chair and shifted his body, subconsciously covering his chest with his hands——

When he was on the island, Qiao Anyue used the only Tianya Haijiao flower on him. After waking up again, his whole body was safe and sound. The only difference was that there was a strange light-colored pattern on his chest.

Like the imprint of a fetus.

"Before you went to sea, there was news that Lu Kun secretly sent someone to look for something—from the news you sent back, it should be Lei Zhen, Tiangan, and Lihuo, and the thing should be Tianya Haijiao. If this is all If it is true, then the rumor must be true."

Qiao Anyue suddenly remembered what Lansang had said to them in Lixi before, and took it up, "It is rumored that no one in the Lu family can live past fifty?"

"Exactly." Shen Gongze nodded.

"There are less than two years left, Lu Kun must be in a hurry." Xia Yun counted the time and said firmly.

On the first day of the lunar new year, he suddenly said, "So you think the Ten Mile Sword is a commission issued by Lu Kun?"

The biggest difference between Shilijian and Shen Yuange is that as a killer organization, Shilijian never cares about the identity of the client behind it, and he doesn't care about the target he kills. Money is the only criterion for the success of the mission. .

However, although Shen Yuange, who claims to be an orthodox assassin, does some sneaky things, and most people are also accustomed to using hidden weapons, which is also despised by martial arts people, but more or less they are people with a little bit of pursuit.

Get rid of violence and bring peace to the good, help the world, and seek good trees to live in.

In any case, they always have their own judgment standards, and firmly stand on what they think is "right".

Scholars die for their confidants, sacrifice their lives for righteousness to be chivalrous, for the country and the people, without exception.

"The fire burned all the blood of the royal family, and the other vassals were also completely cleaned up, but Baicao stole two children under his nose, which destined Baicao to become Lu Kun's next A thorn in the side."

That's why there was the incident of burning all kinds of herbs in the same way.

"But the ridiculous thing is that even if Baicao is burned, a large part of those high-level personnel still escaped by chance. Lu Kun has always been on guard against Baicao, for fear that Helian Qiu, who survived, would make something big for him again, and he Eager to take down the whole world and hope to stabilize his position in his lifetime, and even more so to eradicate all hidden dangers without resorting to any means."

"Looking for the Ten Mile Sword to deal with Shen Yuan Pavilion and Baicao Garden is the most cost-effective way to kill two birds with one stone."

"Do you need me to go back and deal with the ten-mile sword?" The first day of the junior high school offered to explain: "If I go back, at least some high-level tasks will be stopped by me, and within a year, there will be no danger of life. "

"Yes." Shen Gongze nodded, "Then I will trouble you."

"Oh, what do you want me to do after talking so much!" What Xia Yun couldn't stand the most was Shen Gongze's endless character.

——When he was young, he was still a taciturn and workaholic obsessed with busy affairs in the cabinet, but the older he got, the more he liked to pull her to chat with Shen Feiwei.

This time, he even intervened in the affairs between Cheng Zhe and He Lianqiu. It can be said that this person is very boring.

Shen Gongze turned his head and looked at Xia Yun, with an elegant smile slowly showing on the corner of his mouth, "Valley Master Helian and Nangong, I set a trap for Lu Kun together."

"..." Xia Yun rolled his eyes.

If there is any chance of a comeback, you should tell me quickly!Still grinding here!

"Many small sects in the martial arts couldn't understand Lu Kun's approach, and they were gradually bought by us. Now they are wandering around in the north, talking gossip."

"Tsk, it's really dark."

"Just follow the same pattern." Shen Gongze raised his eyebrows, stood up from the table, pointed at the sand table, drew a circle around the entire board with Laquan as the boundary,

"Now many places in the circle have discovered the auspicious omen of 'Lantian Yunuan' at the same time, or Lantian jade, or holding the emperor's hand to make the princes talk, teahouses, inns, brothels, markets... those small sects Although the martial arts are not very good, the advantage is that there are many people and the range of activities is large, three people become tigers, and the situation can be reversed quickly."

"And outside the circle," Shen Gongze pointed to the vast Wusai area where grasslands and deserts intersect, "the army is gathering, of course, there are also people from the Southern Army, the capital is close, and Lu Kun has already focused on it— —That’s why the masked general was transferred here.”

"We're going to do a routine." Shen Gongze said mysteriously, "We're going to let the Usai people break into the capital!"

Shen Gongze reached out and tapped Xia Yun's forehead, "And I need you to sneak into the army and keep an eye on the Usai people so that they will never be able to sit on the dragon chair!"

Xia Yun was a little confused by the sudden order.

"what?"

"The Usai people are good at riding and fighting. With the help of the Southern Army, they can attack the capital as quickly as possible. However, the Southern Army needs to retake our 'city' under the leadership of the young emperor and drive out the group of foreigners. '. If the Usai people do the fake show for real, Xia Yun, you have to guarantee that this action will always be just a 'play', and I will make it never come true!"

After finishing speaking, there was complete silence in the study.

Qiao Anyue asked calmly, "But all this needs to be based on Lu Kun ensuring that the Southern Army is not a threat. This point - how do you guarantee it?"

Shen Gongze glanced at Qiao Anyue in surprise. Shen Gongze had already investigated her identity, and then looked at the two siblings, Yuan Hua and Yuan Chong, who were sitting and listening, showing a strange smile.

"Lu Kun claimed to the outside world that today's son was seriously ill. If we do the fake show and make him really bedridden?"

There is nothing more reassuring than catching the thief first and the king first.

"Ah?" Yuan Chong didn't react, and showed Xia Yun's same expression, and then asked: "But this..."

Yuan Hua swallowed, frightened by his guess, and asked tentatively, "Medicine?"

Shen Gongze, who had been in contact with two little ghosts before, obviously did not expect this little girl to be the first to answer.

He glanced at Yuan Hua in surprise, and then turned his gaze to Qiao Anyue, "Valley Master Helian has been researching a medicinal material that does not hurt people's foundations but is enough to deceive Lu Kun for such a long time, and more than half of the progress has been made. Interested in joining?"

"Of course, there is one more thing to bother you." Shen Gongze didn't give Qiao Anyue a chance to refute, and his tone even tinged with the oppression of the elders, "I heard that you also have a lot of research on drug production. If possible, you Can you develop a drug similar to witchcraft?"

"What do you mean?" Qiao Anyue became interested.

"In order to ensure the success of seizing the palace, wouldn't it be wonderful if the poison was poisoned in Lu Kun's body early on, so that he died of the poison on that day?"

This difficulty cannot but be said to be high.

It is necessary to ensure the dose enough to kill many people, but also to ensure that it can be controlled at a certain time-the day of breaking the door is unpredictable, and if it succeeds, it will be a terrible killer.

Shen Yuange has never been an upright sect, compared to those self-proclaimed upright gentlemen in the Jianghu, they never care about unscrupulous methods.

It's just that, compared to other people, what they stick to is the morality they understand and respect.

"Understood." Xia Yun nodded.

"Of course, there are still some gadgets that can be used to attack the city, so please ask Leader Cheng to help you." Shen Gongze glanced out of the window meaningfully. a little."

"...I'm afraid it won't work." Xia Yun looked embarrassed, "Don't forget, Lu Kun is not the only one looking for it in the ends of the world."

Shen Gongze was taken aback.

"There are also clues that my master...Xia Cunxiu left behind a lot of immature Tianya Haijiao." Xia Yun suddenly opened his mouth and reminded: "This time Cheng Zhe was able to come to Shenyuan Pavilion because of my master's relics." I put it all here."

Cheng Zhe is not from Shen Yuan Pavilion, he just has a pair of skillful hands, and all he seeks is his own selfishness. Being able to leave Helian Qiu to find this seemingly "non-existent" thing is enough to prove that he is an extremely stubborn person. people.

In the face of family and country righteousness, Xia Yun felt that this person would choose "family" over "country" without hesitation—even Helian Qiu couldn't stop him.

"I'll go!" Yuan Chong said abruptly, "I was the one who used up the flowers, and I should get them back for him."

"Go? What can you do?" Xia Yun sarcastically said.

Shen Gongze also agreed: "You have to stay here. There are only two bloodlines left in the royal family. If your father fails in the plan, you will be the only one who can take the lead."

"Then I'll go." Yuan Hua stood up abruptly, facing the room full of surprised eyes calmly, "My brother is a prince, so naturally he can't make any mistakes, but I'm different. No one cares about the life and death of a princess. Don't let other people know about the matter, at least I can carry my luggage with me."

"Do not……"

Just as Xia Yun wanted to refute, he was interrupted by the little girl, "Master Yun, I also want to understand, compared to being unable to do anything in the palace, I prefer the feeling of wandering the rivers and lakes with you, unrestrained and free—— Most importantly, I love the feeling of being in control of my life."

"..." Xia Yun was silent for a long time before he replied, "Don't go to hell and cry when you die."

"I should be able to meet Cheng Zhe halfway," said the first day of junior high school, who came over to smooth things over. "My business won't take long, and Yuan Hua will follow. You have to rely on her for teaching disguise techniques and the like."

"Then it's settled." Xia Yun was determined, speaking quickly, "I'll go and talk to Cheng Zhe tomorrow."

A group of people nodded one after another, and the candlelight on the desk flickered on and off, making the shadows of the people in the room extremely long.

However, no one noticed the flash of loneliness and envy in Yuan Chong's eyes.

The position of emperor has always been a lonely position.

There are no exceptions.
