Chapter 194: When a young contempt for power
The person who was most influenced by Zhuo Mufeng Dingding in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was none other than the cloaked man.
In the cloaked man's plan, the Demon Sect will fight to the death with the Dongfang Family. Once Fang Zhaonan pacifies Nanwu, he can take advantage of the situation and advance eastward, destroying the foundations of the Demon Sect and the Dongfang Family in one fell swoop.
Western Chu is shrinking in a corner, so there is nothing to worry about, and Northern Qi also has a large number of troops. At that time, all they have to do is to fight steadily and cooperate with Fang Zhaonan, plus Zhongzhou, which is the most terrifying but has hardly been involved in a war...
It can be said that this chess game of world hegemony is all under the control of the cloaked man. Under his chain layout, the chess game is full of killing opportunities. With bows fired left and right, only the last three moves can destroy the enemy and clear the chess board!
But now, the chess situation has been cut off, and it was Zhuo Mufeng who cut off his steps.
Due to the surrender of the Dongfang Family, the losses of the Demon Sect Army and the Dongfang Army were far less than the cloaked man expected, and both sides even merged into one. Not only that, the unexpected appearance of Zhang Jiajun also delayed Fang Zhaonan, making him unable to
Withdrawing from Nanwu, naturally it will not lead to subsequent killing moves.
The current apparent situation is that Fang Zhaonan, Bi Dongliu and the Blue Water rebels controlled by the cloaked men each occupied half of the territory of Southern Wu and Northern Qi. Among them, Fang Zhaonan was connected with the territory ruled by the Blue Water rebels, forming a stronghold in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The middle area between Nanwu.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty where Zhuo Mufeng was dominant was also connected to the sphere of influence of Jianhai Palace, forming another whole. He and the cloaked man's territory were closely connected, like a dragon and a tiger fighting each other, forming a confrontation with each other.
Southern Wu existed in name only, Northern Qi was in civil strife, and Western Chu could only sit and watch the show. The only thing that was most feared was Zhongzhou, which suffered the least losses during the chaos, but had the strongest national power.
This is a behemoth that makes all parties extremely fearful. No one knows when it will erupt and what impact it will have on the world situation.
In the dark room of Zhongzhou, seeing the cloaked man in silence, Uncle Ming was puzzled and said hastily: "Why bother, Lord? Although Zhuo Mufeng barely controlled the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were many hidden dangers. It would be better to take advantage of his unsteady footing to order
If Zhongzhou sends troops to attack, as long as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is destroyed, there will no longer be any suspense about who belongs in the world!"
Cloaked Man: "You are wrong. Once Zhongzhou is exposed, it will be extremely detrimental to us. Even if Zhongzhou attacks with all its strength, it will not be a matter of time to destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. And at that time, everyone will see through my plan, and the Western Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed."
Chu and Northern Qi will definitely unite with Eastern Zhou. No matter how strong we are, we cannot withstand the siege from the world."
If Zhongzhou could solve everything by sending troops, how could the cloaked man still hide until now? Because this card was so shocking, it made him even more cautious, lest he force all parties to form an alliance and suffer the consequences.
Hearing the explanation of the cloaked man, Uncle Ming was stunned for a while, and then he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He obviously held a big killer weapon in his hands, but now he was too restrained to use it. Not to mention the depression.
After carefully sorting out the whole matter, he found that the root cause was the variable Zhang Jiajun, and Zhang Jiajun was the sharp sword in Zhuo Mufeng's hand. In other words, the Lord's plan to pacify the world was interrupted by Zhuo Mufeng.
When he thought of this, Uncle Ming's expression became more complicated. If he had known today, in Baijiang City, he would rather expose all the strength of Dark Night Pavilion than kill that kid!
In fact, what Uncle Ming regrets most is not killing Lou Linxuan.
According to the Lord, Zhuo Mufeng’s series of plans to establish the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were all planned by Lou Linxuan. If he could have been killed, how would he be in trouble today? But he didn’t pay attention to such a small role back then, otherwise, otherwise
It can be killed easily.
Uncle Ming felt aggrieved and asked: "My lord, what should we do now?"
Tapping his fingers on the table, the cloaked man had already made up his mind: "Zhongzhou can't move rashly, but it can't move either. Aren't Southern Wu and Northern Qi in chaos? In the name of helping the two courts and suppressing the rebels, we sent troops to both places.
Let’s start with Nan Wu first, let Fang Zhaonan cooperate secretly, and even if it doesn’t work, we will drive away Zhang Jiajun and Jianhai Palace, and then support the Nan Wu court to regain power.”
This is the result of the cloaked man's careful consideration.
Northern Qi was still too tough, and the impact of sending troops to Northern Qi was too great, so he settled for the next best thing and started with Southern Wu to test the reactions of all parties. Supporting the Southern Wu court was also done for outsiders to see. At that time, all parts of Southern Wu
What is the difference between being a soldier of Zhongzhou and being ruled by Zhongzhou?
Of course, this cannot be hidden from smart people, but the wonderful thing is that there is too much room for maneuver. Zhongzhou can withdraw its troops at any time, how many troops should be withdrawn, and when can be determined according to the reaction of the outside world. In this process, Dark Night Pavilion has also
There are many tricks you can do.
Uncle Ming thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but said with great joy: "My lord, you are wise! As long as we control the speed and don't force Western Chu all at once, by joining forces with Northern Qi and Eastern Zhou, we can eat away at the power of the three parties little by little. And even Lou Linxuan can see it.
, in the absence of evidence, the three dynasties joining forces are of great significance after all, and it is impossible to join forces just because they say they will. This period is our opportunity to make plans!"
Cloaked Man: "Don't do it right away."
"I obey!" Uncle Ming strode away...
Outside Jinghua City, in Xianwu Mansion.
Zhuo Mufeng, who had returned successfully, was sitting in the octagonal pavilion drinking with Lou Linxuan.
Now that the overall situation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has been decided, the Dongfang family has been successfully integrated. Seeing that the future development is promising, he has become the Lord of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This feeling of being like sitting in the clouds, supreme, inevitably makes Zhuo Mufeng feel excited and excited.
Next, he poured one glass after another for himself and Lou Linxuan, and kept clinking glasses with each other.
In comparison, Lou Linxuan was much more reserved, but his face turned red after drinking, which was very different from usual. He had realized the first step of his ambition. The sense of accomplishment that pushes a person to climb higher is not something that outsiders can achieve.
imagination.
But Lou Linxuan was Lou Linxuan after all. Seeing Zhuo Mufeng's excitement, he suddenly asked: "Are you happy?"
Zhuo Mufeng put down the cup, shrugged and said with a smile: "If this is not happy, what is? The success of this operation is all thanks to Uncle Lou's help."
Lou Linxuan picked up the feather fan on the table and fanned it a few times, as if to dispel the drunkenness: "Lou remembers that my uncle once said that his ambition is to be a wandering crane, unfettered and able to come and go freely."
After the words fell, the smile on Zhuo Mufeng's face immediately stopped. He looked at Lou Linxuan with a slightly dazed expression, then moved his eyes away to look at the pavilions under the sunset.
After being silent for a long time this time, Zhuo Mufeng said: "Yes, that has always been my wish. If I had not been desperate and accidentally got involved in the world's war, I should have taken the eldest lady and the others to disappear from the world and be at ease.
Yes. Why did Uncle Lou suddenly talk about this?"
Lou Linxuan smiled nonchalantly: "I just feel that fate is unpredictable, so I'm just expressing emotion."
The two drank for several hours. In the end, Lou Linxuan was so drunk that he apologized and left with the help of several servants. When they were far enough away from the pavilion, the drunk Lou Linxuan suddenly turned around and looked at the
The figure sitting alone has a dazed look on his face.
More than half a month ago, Lou Linxuan mobilized the experts in the hidden village to do things, but unexpectedly discovered a secret. It turned out that the helmsman of the Yuhua Branch of the Sanjiang Alliance, Si Kong Yi, was not killed by the Demon Sect, but by the Demon Sect.
My uncle sent someone to bring him back to the hidden village.
But a few years ago, Sikong Yi disappeared for no reason.
The formation of the Hidden Village was mysterious and unpredictable. Later, Lou Linxuan personally reinforced it several times, making it impossible for Sikong Yi to escape. Lou Linxuan specially investigated and found that the day before Sikong Yi disappeared, Barong had entered the Hidden Village.
Leave after a short stay.
This timing is too delicate.
The most thought-provoking thing is that Hidden Village has always been a place of Lou Linxuan's key protection. Even if people from Hidden Village come in and out, there will be relevant records. The previous Balong was no exception, except for that one time.
It is impossible for Barong to go to the hidden village for no reason and also to falsify the entry and exit records, unless Zhuo Mufeng gave the order and did not want others to know.
Based on the above clues, Lou Linxuan came to a chilling guess. He suspected that Zhuo Mufeng ordered Barong to find Sikong Yi and secretly kill him!
The motive is also very simple, because the existence of Sikong Yi will create a gap between Zhuo Mufeng and the leader's family.
Perhaps in the past, Zhuo Mufeng was still thinking about how to lie, as you can see from the fact that he never made a move, but now, he is much more ruthless than before.
It's not just this one thing.
Lou Linxuan had long wondered how the five Yao Wus could be willing to sacrifice their lives for Zhuo Mufeng. He thought about all the possible situations and had chatted with Yan Yiqing, Yao Wu and others over the years.
How could they compete with Lou Linxuan? Although he kept silent about the truth, Lou Linxuan still inferred some outlines based on a few words.
The reason why Zhuo Mufeng can control the five Yao Wu people is most likely related to the Ten Wonderful Skills!
Back then, Zhuo Mufeng had copied all the ten wonders to him, Lou Linxuan. There were some things that he couldn't help but think about, especially for a smart man like Lou Linxuan.
He couldn't be sure what Zhuo Mufeng was thinking at that time. Although he told himself that he was still an uncle, he was still affected after all.
Returning to his study room, Lou Linxuan had just sat down when a confidant handed over the list of secret nails that Dongfang Family had buried in his side. This list was one of Dongfang Family’s submissions, and it would be verified later to see if it was true, so Dongfang Family
Don't dare to cause trouble.
At first, Lou Linxuan just scanned randomly until he saw the three characters Sikong Yi. Due to the relationship between Sanjiang League and Zhuo Mufeng, Sikong Yi's name was written very high.
Lou Linxuan's expression changed again and again, and he stood up suddenly.
What he didn't know was that Zhuo Mufeng's face darkened after he left. Lou Linxuan's question was like a sharp sword piercing his heart. Zhuo Mufeng even felt uneasy just now.
mood.
He has always been used to being unrestrained and ignoring power, but now he is so proud because he has obtained the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!
Zhuo Mufeng sat under the sunset for a long time. When it was getting dark, he got up and walked down the rockery, then passed the corridor and came to the outside of the continuous courtyard.
In every courtyard here, there are his women living.
For the sake of peace of mind, the five Jiedu envoys immediately sent their daughters over after the Dongfang family surrendered, so that the marriage could be implemented. As for Zhang Yuyao, the only daughter of Zhang Jiaquan, she moved in earlier than the other five daughters.
