While Mu Daoren and Cao Zhengchun were still talking quietly.
Nie Yunhua bowed his head directly and said:
"Nie is willing to obey all the prince's instructions."
He has a clear self-understanding, and compared to the other two parties, he is just an extra.
He also knew very well that Qin Fan had given him time to think about the stick of incense because the power represented by Mu Taoist and Cao Zhengchun themselves and behind them was worth the time he had to wait.
Although the reputation of the Four Great Gods in the world is not small, at this moment, it is not even a fart in this small conference hall.
So he needs to take a stand first.
Of course, the most important point is that on the way from Nanxuan Prefecture, he was considering joining the Zhennan King line. During this period, his conversation with Yuan Suiyun strengthened his belief.
There are many factors involved in this, including the gains from the exchange with Xue Yan, joining a new faction to gain more opportunities, not being optimistic about the current Daxuan situation, and also being uneasy about one's own situation.
(As mentioned earlier, he initially worked for Yu Cangmiao, which also means that it is impossible for ordinary factions to accept him, and unusual factions will be more careful if they accept him.)
All in all it was a very risky gamble.
That's why he was driven by Yuan Suiyun to kill two colleagues regardless of the consequences, which was equivalent to actively submitting a certificate of surrender.
Also, just now Zhuge Zhengwo seemed to have the upper hand and gave him a timely option to stop his losses. However, he still insisted on his previous decision and made it clear for once that he took sides.
Now it seems that at least he took the first step on the right track.
Qin Fan didn't say much about this, he just raised his eyes and nodded.
Then he looked at the other two parties, knowing that they had also made up their minds, so he said:
"Then it's time to hear this last story from this king."
The expressions of the five people, Cao Zhengchun, Mu Daoren, Ning Xiaoyao, Cao De and Nie Yunhua, became serious. They had already expected that this last story was also related to their own destiny.
Qin Fan's first words made their hearts break.
"After the imperial envoys came to the ghost market, they were warmly entertained by me. Chief Zhuge even drank and chatted with me. They also talked very harmoniously about the second stage of cooperation and transactions until the envoys left. .”
Everyone present looked at the dead body of Zhuge Zhengwo, and a line of ellipses silently emerged in their hearts.
"But there are always some villains who want to take the opportunity to sow discord between our ghost city and the imperial court. According to the investigation, it is learned that this operation involves Daoyu, Buddha Land and Baihutang, and the target is to launch a conspiracy against Zhengshi Zhuge Zhengwo. plan!
And the one who secretly communicates with him is Cui Lueshang, Wuhou's new apprentice!
This person is a secret agent of Baihutang lurking in Nanxuanzhou Mansion. After discovering his fateful identity, Shangguan Jinhong used this to make him meet Wuhou!
Later, while he was careless, Zhuge Zhengwo was led into a trap and was surrounded and killed by Zen Master Huineng from the Buddhist realm and Mu Taoist from the Taoist realm.
As for Governor Cao who was traveling with him, he was trapped by the Buddhist treasures and formations in the Buddha Land and Tao Realm.
Naturally, warriors from other realms could not participate in the battle between masters of the Celestial Realm. Therefore, Nie Shenquan and Cao Erdantou had no choice but to return to the ghost market for help.
But even though I arrived at the scene as soon as possible, Zen Master Huineng, who was already like a mad dog, still dragged Mr. Zhuge to death together.
However, this also angered me. After using the ghost market's instant messaging, I joined forces with Liumen and Dongchang to retaliate against Huineng's Qibao Chanyuan, and completely eradicated it in one day.
In the end, I decided to draw a clear line with the Dao domain, and then gathered all forces to solve the problem of Baihutang, one of the three masterminds behind the death of President Zhuge, and regain the hometown of the Southwest Prefecture. "
Then Qin Fan threw Huineng's head out.
Seeing the head rolling towards the center of the conference hall, everyone present fell into silence.
Among them, Ning Xiaoyao frowned the most.
Because he didn't understand what Daoyu could gain from this story, but he noticed one thing, that is, the expression of the Taoist Mu standing next to him did not change at all throughout the whole process.
He opened his mouth, but when he looked at Yin Bugui, who had fainted at some point, he still swallowed the words that reached his lips.
He suddenly remembered something. The alliance between Daoyu and Ghost City had ended long ago. The oath signed by Zhang Sanfeng and Qin Fan was until the Qianlong List was announced to the world. Now that the time limit has passed, the alliance between the two parties is only verbal. constraints.
(See Chapter 301 for some details.)
So taking this opportunity to cut off this relationship may also be one of Qin Fan's purposes.
But to be more precise, Qin Fan changed his allies in the Taoist realm from Zhang Sanfeng in the open to the secret Taoist Mu.
After thinking about this, he also had some more questions, but he shouldn't be the one to speak at this time.
Then Ning Xiaoyao's eyes moved to Cao Zhengchun, who had already put away his smile, raised his brows, and said with cupped hands:
"My lord, there are many omissions in this story."
Qin Fan nodded and said:
"good."
Cao Zhengchun frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Then this also means that this story cannot withstand scrutiny, and sooner or later someone will find out the truth."
Qin Fan continued to nod and said:
"You're right. Judging from Zhuge Zheng's position, this story is nonsense from the first sentence."
"Then why did the prince still..." Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhuge Zhengwo's body unconsciously, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and a chill arose in his heart.
Qin Fan saw that the other party understood, smiled and said:
“Even if I weave a perfect story, there will still be people who don’t believe it, because the story itself is not important, what is important is the result.
Result 1: Zhuge Zhengwo died, and there was only one person standing behind him. That person would not personally go out to find out the cause of his death until the critical moment. After all, a dead Celestial Realm has no value at all.
Result 2: Today's Daxuan Dynasty is like a giant whose limbs and body have been chopped off. He has only one face left. Otherwise, how could I take advantage of the opportunity of the battle on the top of the Mountain of Swords to become the King of Zhennan? !
And killing a strong man in the Celestial Realm of the Buddhist realm and completely eradicating his sect, Qibao Chanyuan, which ranked second in the Zen sect, was a very glorious achievement for Daxuan.
At present, what the people in the court are most worried about is that the people of Kyushu no longer have expectations for Daxuan, because as time goes by, the people will definitely lose confidence in Daxuan, who has done nothing, and this will also lead to the true nature of the Daxuan Dynasty. to a dead end.
Therefore, they need a powerful shot in the arm in the shortest possible time.
It's worth exchanging a Zhuge Zhengwo for this shot.
Result 3: The task of splitting the Dao Ghost Alliance has been completed. I will also shoulder the responsibility for the death of Chief Zhuge and officially start to attack the surrounding states. In this way, the ghost city will seem to be involved in the quagmire of war again. .
After establishing these three results, is the truth about Zhuge Zhengwo's death still important? "
When they heard the first result, everyone present showed no reaction, because this is the ruthlessness of politics and the sorrow of those without factions.
After hearing the second result, Cao Zhengchun's expression changed slightly. In fact, since Emperor Xuan appointed Qin Fan as the King of Zhennan, Daxuan has been protecting his remaining face at all costs.
But now half a month has passed with the Kyushu Rebellion, and there is still no achievement that makes Daxuan proud.
Therefore, Cao Zhengchun knew very well how valuable the human head not far away was, and he secretly thought that he had been tricked.
Qin Fan promised to let him take a sip of the soup, but this day may actually have arrived, because in the next few days, the elites of Dongchang who have been deployed will completely eradicate Qibao Chanyuan.
But compared to the rash action originally planned, Qin Fan's rhetoric was undoubtedly more effective. Of course, for him, it was just words, and the main force was Dongchang.
As for the final result three, he didn't understand the first half of the sentence. He didn't quite understand why the other party wanted to abandon the alliance openly. Maybe it was a deliberate concession to the court, or maybe there were other plans.
But in the second half of the sentence, he probably understood that the other party wanted to use the power of Liumen and Dongchang to attack the Tianjianmen, Zinong Xie family and Baihutang in the southwest prefecture.
If this thing is done well, it will be a considerable achievement for him. If it is not done well... no, there is no possibility of it not being done well.
From the beginning to the end, what Qin Fan needs is a division with a good reputation. Especially for the people of Nanxuan Prefecture, who have just ended the war, they are undoubtedly extremely resistant to war.
But the behavior of the three masterminds who were blamed for trying to create a gap between the imperial court and the ghost market by attacking and killing the envoys was even more intolerable.
It is a wonderful way to use external contradictions to solve internal hidden dangers.
This is what Cao Zhengchun can think of at the moment. Perhaps for him, this story and the result are not a big profit for Dongchang, but it is enough if it is not a loss.
In today's troubled times, being able to avoid losing money means making steady profits without losing money.
Then Cao Zhengchun nodded solemnly.
"Dongchang is willing to obey the prince's arrangements."
"The same goes for Pindao." Mu Taoist bowed.
This made Cao Zhengchun very puzzled, because this story and the result were not a loss to Daoyu, it could even be said to be a huge loss, so he couldn't figure out why the other party was so cooperative. Could it be that he was acting as a fool? ?
However, before he could think of anything, his thoughts were pulled back by Qin Fan's words.
"The story is over. The missing characters below will be arranged by our ghost market. The time is set in three days. Eunuch Cao, please go to the fourth floor of the conference hall to discuss the transaction of sound transmission tokens with the squad leader and others."
Qin Fan made a move with his right hand, and Huineng's head was put back into the space ring.
This thing is going to be finally sent to the Daxuan Dynasty as one of the important evidences to protect its face. It was just taken out to give everyone some confidence.
Cao Zhengchun nodded. He did not leave immediately, but asked:
"What price does the prince hope to negotiate for this transaction?"
Qin Fan thought for a while and said:
"Both too low and too high are not good. After all, I need to make some compromises for the authenticity of this story. In addition, when you report it, you can say an extra 10% profit.
I don’t care how much of it you Dongchang swallows, but I need you to satisfy the appetites of the wallflowers in the court.
After all, there is no guarantee that someone will speak up for loyal ministers, and the best weapons against loyal ministers are treacherous ministers and sycophants. "
"I understand the humble position." Cao Zhengchun lowered his head and said.
When facing Qin Fan, he always had a sense of déjà vu that reminded him of seeing Yu Cangmiao in the court. He was also so calm and calm, and every word he said was beyond the expectations of others.
Then he glanced at Cao De behind him. After the two saluted Qin Fan, they carefully stepped over Zhuge Zhengwo's body and walked out of the conference hall.
The moment they opened the door, they saw another Zhuge Zhengwo and Cui Lueshang, including the two six-door elites waiting outside.
Through the power of Cao Zhengchun's soul, he can detect the disguises of the four people. The latter three are relatively obvious, while the former only has an oversight in their mental fluctuations.
If the other party breaks through to the Celestial Realm, as long as they don't take action, I'm afraid I won't be able to discover this only flaw.
As for Cao De, who was standing behind him, with his mid-stage Grand Master strength, he looked at the four of them as if he had seen ghosts, because he was completely unable to detect any difference in appearance and temperament between the four of them and their real bodies.
And soon another person followed out, it was Nie Yunhua, the bloody-robed divine catcher.
When he saw the fake Zhuge Zhengwo, he looked obviously startled, but he immediately regained his composure, cupped his hands and said:
"Meet Commander Zhuge."
"Well, Eunuch Cao, let's go. The banquet just now made me very happy, but we can't forget the business." Fake Zhuge Zhengwo said seriously.
The corners of Cao Zhengchun's eyes trembled slightly, and the next second, the iconic smile appeared on his face again:
"Marquis Wu, please."
------------------
Or in the conference hall.
Ning Xiaoyao was staring at Taoist Mu, Taoist Mu was looking at Qin Fan, and Qin Fan was yawning.
After rubbing his eyes, he said to Yuan Suiyun beside him:
"Any gains from this operation?"
Yuan Suiyun nodded and said solemnly:
"From the very beginning, Zhuge Zheng and I have been scheming against each other to undermine each other's arrogance.
By destroying its layout, I wanted to create intensified conflicts within the six doors, and at the same time, I was also preparing to wear off the edge of his sharp sword.
He wanted to use this to undermine Lord Ghost Lord's prestige, and his behavior of not hiding his own purpose even wanted to plant a seed of failure in the Lord's heart in order to prepare for his next killing move.
To put it bluntly, this is a means to mentally destroy the opponent's fighting spirit.
After Lord Ghost confirmed his position, he had already thought of using his destined death to accomplish more far-reaching strategic goals.
This also means that Zhuge Zhengwo has no possibility of victory at all, because the height he stands determines the outcome.
No matter how hard he tries, he will die. Only when he dies can he complete the most important piece of the puzzle. "
Then Yuan Suiyun let out a long sigh, this time it was a good lesson for him and Zhuge Zheng, but the difference is that after the lesson, I can learn from the lesson and strive to hand in a more perfect answer sheet next time.
And Zhuge Zhengyi has no chance to do it again. This is the last lesson of his life.
