Xu Buling turned back from Jiang Rui's mansion. It was already late at night. He no longer cared about what would happen in the distant imperial city.

At this moment, Xu Buling suddenly understood why Grandpa Fubao could stir up trouble in the world with his own hands. It was just that he had too many eyes.

Taking advantage of the advantages of information asymmetry and telling the most suitable person at the most suitable time is enough to provoke the overall situation in just a few words, and it is a dignified and open plot. The other party must jump in even if it knows it is a pit, because if it does not jump, it will fall into a bigger pit.

The superiors attack the plot, the generals kill people and use soldiers, and the counselors kill people and use their mouths. This kind of pleasure of being a messing stick is really hard to stop.

However, in today's situation, Xu Buling does have some luck.

Originally, his plan was to use agarwood, and he would kill Jiang Lin if he had the chance, and he would not have the chance to kill Jiang Du, and he would not have the chance to kill Jiang Rui and frame Jiang Kai. Anyway, if you come to Beiqi for a trip, you would have to leave a big hidden danger that cannot be quelled for Beiqi.

But I didn't expect that I could just run into Jiang Duxiong, and I didn't even have to move my hands, and just rely on a trick to achieve the best result at present.

He had already returned with a full load, so Xu Buling naturally had no interest in staying here and watching the dog bite. After returning to the inn, he left Guiyan City with four girls overnight. What he left for Northern Qi was a sensation that was destined to be damaged...

The westernmost side of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Heicheng.

The yellow sand and snow blended thousands of miles outside the city. Prince Zuo Jiang Yan, wearing the armor that he never took off except sleeping, stood at the top of the city day after day, looking at the Suzhou City that had been looking at for decades.

Although Jiang Yan's "old enemy" Xu You had already slapped his ass and left to Chang'an to become the regent, Jiang Yan's habits remained unchanged. The oath of "not breaking Suzhou and not removing armor" had been made, and there were no other enemies around him. He could not turn around to see the many small tribes that had already become unchanged in the Western Regions.

"Report to the prince, prince, something happened..."

Jiang Yan was looking at Qianlishaxue and was in a state of ecstasy when an anxious cry suddenly came from the bottom of the city wall.

Jiang Yan frowned, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the chief adviser Chen Xuan running up the steps, his face as white as paper, and panicked.

"What kind of funeral is the New Year just now? King Su sent troops to destroy Yuanzhou?"

Chen Xuan hurriedly ran to the front and handed Jiang Yan the news that was rushing to 800 miles and said anxiously:

"On the eve, Prince Jiang Du committed such a traitor as 'killing the king and father' in Hanyuan Palace..."

"What?!!"

Jiang Du's whole body was shocked, which was even more incredible than hearing that Guiyan City was broken by the Xiliang Army. He grabbed Chen Xuan's collar and cursed angrily:

"Nothing nonsense. Jiang Du just received the title of crown prince. Why did he kill his father at this time? Did you kick him in the brain?"

Chen Xuan's face turned pale and said anxiously:

"It's true. Jiang Du has been taken down on the spot by the guards, even the national squad was implicated, and Guiyan City is in chaos."

Jiang Du felt like he was hit on his head by a bolt from the blue, and his mind was dizzy. He thought for a while and said angrily:

"What did Ruier do in the capital? Don't say that this bastard went to fight for the throne?"

Chen Xuan naturally knew that he could not fight, and this battle for Northern Qi was over, and he had no strength to compete with Da Yue. He slapped his knees and said angrily and helplessly:

"It's impossible not to fight. It is said that before the emperor was dying, he wrote a blood edict to send it out of the palace city and abolished Du and Rui. He obviously wanted to adopt the crown prince as his legitimate son and establish another crown prince. The crown prince rushed to the palace after receiving the news, but was taken a step forward by the crown prince Jiang Kai and arrested by Jiang Kai."

“…”

Jiang Heng gritted his teeth, overturned the desk, and cursed:

"If this group of bastards were there, they would not have the courage to do so. Immediately send troops back to Yancheng."

"yes."

...

“Excellent!”

Slap

At the foot of Yuelu Mountain, in a small village.

The old master with snow-white hair clapped his palms and looked at the chessboard in front of him, and was filled with joy:

"I underestimated that boy and asked him to destroy the alliance between the two countries, but in the end he left such a move. He used one person's strength to disrupt a country. He took the real stroke of the gods, how wonderful it is..."

Opposite the chessboard, the painting Saint Xu Danqing stared at the messy chessboard and frowned:

"Mr., I can't understand this game."

Mei Qusheng was fiddling with the brazier beside him and nodded:

"Yes, Xu Bucheng's killing Jiang Lin and Jiang Du, and thus provoking the two kings to fight for the throne, can be understood. But what method did he use to make Jiang Du kill his father and willingly resist this eternal infamy? Will he bewitch Jiang Du with magic?"

The old master touched his beard and said in a mysterious way:

"Xu Buling is a contemporary hero. His layout is so far and profound that he plans. You ordinary people naturally cannot understand it. This situation must have used people's hearts. Xu Buling discovered Jiang Du's character in advance and hid it in secret to guide him. Until Jiang Du made a big mistake without realizing it, he did not know that he was being used afterwards. Such a skill of playing with people's hearts and applause but not showing off his dew is really clever."

Xu Danqing nodded half-believingly:

"Have the mentor seen through it?"

"No."

The old master smiled a few times: "It is because he can't see through that he feels clever. The strongest plan in the world is that he doesn't seem to have any plans, and it naturally looks like a coincidence. I hope this kid can make rapid progress and make people intimidate."

“…”

Feelings are bragging...

Mei Qusheng was roasting a brazier and no longer talked about such things that the old master couldn't understand, and said:

"What should we do next?"

The old master swept across the chessboard with his sleeves, swept all the chess pieces into the chess basket, and shook his head and said:

"The world is broken into four pieces, leaving a big dragon in the Xu family alone. Even if you close your eyes, you can finish it. There is nothing to do."

Mei Qusheng thought for a while: "Zuo Qingqiu is the direct descendant of the ancestor. Even if the court loses its power, it is impossible for him to admit defeat. Just ignore it?"

"Zuo Qingqiu will not admit defeat, but he will definitely lose. Human power cannot defeat the destiny of heaven. Xu Buling is the destiny of heaven. Whoever stops him or her will die, just wait and see what happens."

"oh……" --

Ten days later, Qiufeng Town.

At the end of the first month and early February, the gentle spring breeze swept across the earth, the snow on the wasteland gradually melted, and thousands of trees were springing, and tender buds were drawn intermittently.

The dirt road was covered with grass, and a pony carriage passed through the town and parked outside the tea shop that had been closed.

Chen Sining and Zhu Manzhi rode on the horse, carrying a package on their shoulders, looking at the tea shop they stopped when they came, but they were hard to see the old woman who was waiting day and night again.

Cui Xiaowan sat in the carriage, lifting the curtain and looking at the various colors outside, her face had returned to its original state, as bright as peach blossoms.

The agarwood stolen from the imperial city has become a betrothal gift given by Xu Buling. It is placed next to Cui Xiawan, with a red rope and a strand of black hair tied on it.

Xu Buling sat outside the carriage, holding a horse whip, and his eyes were on the girl beside him.

Little Taohua was wearing a small jacket and sat beside Xu Buling, looking at the tea shop next to her, not knowing what she was thinking, her expression was very complicated, as if she was pretending to be a lot of thoughts.

Xu Buling knew Xiao Taohua’s thoughts, and after thinking about it, he raised his hand and rubbed her head, and advised:

"Little Taohua, I'll take you back to Dayue. There's nothing to stay here."

Xiao Taohua shook her head and said softly:

"I was born to be a man from the world. People in the world value friendship. How could they be ungrateful to Qin and Chu? The eldest brother is very nice to me, but the master teaches me to be a man. This kind of kindness cannot be ignored. Big brother, let's see you again in the world after we part."

"There is nothing good in the world. If you learn from your master to settle the world, you will have no future. He can't even beat me."

Xiao Taohua did not deny this, just said:

"Master said that to open peace for the world, it is not necessary to open peace for one side. The purpose of peace in the world can be achieved. So whoever loses and who wins is the same."

Xu Buling took a breath, but didn't know what to say, so he could only say:

"It won't take long for peace in the world. Just don't run away with your master at that time."

Xiao Taohua smiled, and two sweet dimples appeared on her face:

"How could I run away? The Zuo family is not only the national master of the Great Qi, but also the most powerful warrior in the world. Even if the master loses in the world, he should compete for the best in the world. When my art is completed, he will go to find his elder brother to retrieve the ancestral Lei Gong mace and restore the Master of the Lightning."

Xu Buling raised his eyebrows, took off the iron mace behind him and looked at it:

"It turns out that this thing is Zuo Zhexian's weapon, no wonder it's so ruthless. But if you want to get it back, you will definitely have no chance. Just don't send your master's one too."

When Xiao Taohua heard this, she was a little dissatisfied:

"That's not necessarily the case. Master said that my talent is no worse than that of the eldest brother. The eldest brother still has so many women to serve, which hurts his body."

“…”

Xu Buling was speechless and raised his hand to bounce Xiao Taohua's forehead:

"I'm not old and know a lot. Go back and tell your master, as long as he really keeps the world in his heart, I don't mind letting Zuo Zhexian continue to pass on his lineage. I still appreciate his son Zuo Zhan."

Xiao Taohua jumped out of the carriage, ran to the door of the tea shop, stood under the eaves, and waved her hand at Xu Buling:

"I will bring you my words, goodbye to my elder brother."

"goodbye."

Xu Buling showed a bright smile, raised his horse whip and headed towards the south of Qiufeng Town.

Zhu Manzhi rode on the horse, was born to value love and friendship, and lived with the little peach blossoms with a very eccentric flavor for a few days. He was a little reluctant and waved his hand:

"Xiao Shier, when the war is over, my sister will take you to the Central Plains to see the world. The northern Qi Dynasty is full of snow, so how can the Central Plains be fun?"

Xiao Taohua nodded: "I am from Central Plains, and I will definitely go back."
