In the garden, the smell of blood filled the air.
Duguwei's long silence made Zheng Shi feel a little uneasy. He managed to hold up his upper body, licked the blood on the corner of his mouth and said, "You can't kill me. I can testify for you whether it's Zhang Lu or Master Suzaku. It's all Murong Xiu Ming's fault, and you, the commander, want to correct this fault."
Dugu Wei lowered his eyes and said with a cold expression: "Murong Xiu Ming is an idiot, but neither you nor Heng Yu are. Have you been waiting for those things to happen?"
"Gudong." It was obviously his own blood, but his mouth was still bitter after swallowing it. Zheng Shi faced Dugu Wei's cold gaze and said calmly: "I really want Mu Qing to die, and I also know that Murong Xiu Ming intends to provoke the commander and Mu Qing, but I don’t know yet what happened to Lord Suzaku, it’s just..."
"Just what?"
Dugu Wei turned around and walked towards the pavilion. Zheng Shi felt relieved, stood up and followed Dugu Wei and said, "It's just that one's emotions can't deceive others after all. Murong Xiu Ming obviously succeeded."
"Murong Xiuming is a complete idiot. After this incident, even Zhang Lu will not ask for anything from Qinglong and the others. You want me to take action against Mu Qing at this time?"
Although Dugu Wei was not defeated by Xing Fei, he was defeated by the personal guards led by Xing Fei. He would not attribute the defeat of the battle to emotional negativity. Feeling the noisy movement in the direction of the inner city, Dugu Wei He became more and more optimistic about Xing Fei's leadership ability, and his gaze drifted toward the inner city, and he said calmly: "I heard from shopkeeper Chen that Xing Fei and Mu Qing have a good relationship, and Mu Qing's strength has already been recognized by Qinglong and the others. , do you think you, or rather just me, can kill him?"
Dugu Wei had always disdained these conspiracies, but when the target was Mu Qingzhi, he was able to suppress his temper. After thinking about it carefully, Dugu Wei's expression became more and more indifferent.
Zheng Shi wiped the blood from his nostrils and said softly: "If Murong Xiuming dies in Bai Hao's hands, in fact, with the prestige of Zhang Lu, the matter between Mu Qing and Master Zhuque will only collapse into civil strife faster, but Master Zhuque is also extremely powerful. Something might happen because of this. In the current situation, Master Qinglong and the others seem to have more say, but they also give the leader time."
"What do you mean?" Dugu Wei's expression changed, he stopped and turned around.
The lines on Zheng Shi's face were slightly relaxed, and he gradually grasped what was in Dugu Wei's heart, and spoke more easily: "I know that the commander-in-chief is only worried about the safety of Lord Suzaku. For this, even Mu Qing, you can turn a blind eye, but the situation develops Good luck, in the future, even if you don't want to, you will still passively fight for the right to speak."
Dugu Wei frowned. Zheng Shi didn't say anything more about Mu Qing, which made him in the mood to listen.
Zheng Shi said: "When I first came to Zhuque City, I actually had the same idea as Hengyu, intending to help Murong Xiu Ming fight for the position of city lord."
Zheng Shi saw a trace of strong ridicule flash across Dugu Wei's face, and said with a smile: "I know that Murong Xiuming will not be able to be the city lord in any case, so I just settle for the next best thing. I just want Murong Xiuming to be in Suzaku." The city occupies a place, this matter, after Murong Xiu Ming came out of Zhanglu Fangzheng’s confinement, it can be seen that it was Zhanglu’s intention, and Master Qinglong and the others acquiesced.”
"You mean, let me occupy the right to speak that should belong to Murong Xiu Ming, no, to Zhang Lu?" Dugu Wei understood the meaning of Zheng Shi's words.
He has already understood that this can be regarded as a roundabout way to save the country. As long as Qinglong and his friends' ambitions do not end, his status in Murong Yin's heart will become higher day by day.
"But, I'm afraid this still won't help her." Dugu Wei rarely showed a bitter look in front of outsiders.
Zheng Shi lowered his head, pretending not to see it, and said in a deep voice: "Murong Xiu Ming is Murong Xiu Ming, and the commander is the commander. Looking at everyone in the Hidden Valley, Master Qinglong and Master Bai Hu rescued Murong Xiu Ming. They definitely want Zhang Lu to remember him. I will save this favor for the future and will never waste it on the city lord position, so it seems that the most suitable choices for the city lord are Commander and Mu Qing."
"Me and him?" Dugu Wei really didn't think of this and frowned in thought.
Zheng Shi continued: "Becoming the city lord is the first step. This can prevent the rift between Lord Suzaku and the governor from widening."
After Bai Hao was executed, if Mu Qing stood up and wanted to be the city lord, Murong Jing would probably support Mu Qing. This was a foreseeable result. What Zheng Shi said is indeed very pertinent. Dugu Wei looked at Zheng Shi, who was extremely respectful, and felt a little wary in his heart, but he still couldn't help but ask: "What's the second step?"
Zheng Shi raised his head and said word by word: "Kill Mu Qing. Only by killing Mu Qing can Master Suzaku be able to calm down."
Duguwei's eyes were dazed for a while, and he said in a strange tone: "Killing Mu Qing, she will only kill everyone who killed Mu Qing."
"So, we should find a reason for killing Mu Qing that even Lord Qinglong and the others would find difficult to deny, and this reason should have nothing to do with Lord Suzaku."
If Zheng Shi had not added the last part of the sentence, Dugu Wei would have directly characterized Zheng Shi as a sinister villain who tried to make a fortune. But if he really considered Murong Jing, Dugu Wei would have started to consider the feasibility of this matter.
"Then what reason is appropriate?" Dugu Wei asked seriously.
Zheng Shi looked at him and smiled without saying a word. When he raised his eyebrows, he asked, "Even I know this. I'm afraid no one knows the commander's attitude towards Master Suzaku. So this could be a motive."
Dugu Wei's face was full of black lines and he asked: "You want me to challenge Mu Qing in this way?"
The two people in the garden fell silent at the same time. Zheng Shi discovered that Dugu Wei used "challenge" in his words. Dugu Wei had to admit that he had actually made a comparison in his heart. He could not beat Mu Qing now.
"Commander, you don't have to be like this. Who can compare with me when it comes to the gap? You must know that he and I were trained in the same batch..."
Zheng Shi adjusted his emotions and said with a wry smile: "This is a motive, but it is not your motive for taking action against Mu Qing, but Mu Qing's motive for taking action against you. Moreover, Mu Qing's action against you will happen to be after you reveal After I want to be the city lord."
"He won't do anything to me, there's no point, he..." Dugu Wei paused and looked at Zheng Shi.
Zheng Shi pointed at his face, nodded and said, "Mu Qing will indeed not take action, and Lord Suzaku will not believe it, but the commander will be injured, and those who are willing to believe will believe it."
Dugu Wei squinted his eyes and seemed to recognize Zheng Shi in front of him again. He couldn't help thinking with a sense of absurdity in his heart that the two people around Murong Xiuming, Heng Yu and Zheng Shi, seemed to be extremely resourceful people. How could they be together? In the end, we will end up like this.
Thinking of Murong Xiuming's tragic situation, Dugu Wei suddenly came to his senses, shook his head, and walked towards the pavilion.
Zheng Shi could feel the change in Dugu Wei's mood and quickly added: "Commander, please believe me, as long as you cooperate with this cruel trick, I'm afraid even Lord Qinglong and others will be wary of the combination of Mu Qing and Lord Zhuque, so there is a high probability that it will Be silent..."
It turns out that he just handed the leader a knife...
Duguwei thought so, stopped, turned his back to Zheng Shi and said: "I haven't turned into a fool like Murong Xiuming. The beginning of all this was thanks to him. If there are people who really deserve to be killed now, it's him."
"Then just let it go? When Mu Qing becomes the city lord, Master Suzaku chooses to leave Hidden Valley, Zhang Lu will be furious, and all the masters will destroy Master Suzaku. That's what you want to see."
The sun has tilted a lot, the flowers and plants in the garden have more reflections, and the atmosphere seems gloomier.
Zheng Shi took a deep look at Dugu Wei's stiff back and said calmly: "Lord Commander, we still have time, but we are running out."
Looking towards the inner city, he said calmly: "Mu Qing has won the support of many people, do you think there is still hope?"
