When he came to the Ming Pagoda again, Li Shizhou was much more relaxed, and he even said a few words with a smile:
"Your Excellency Guizun has so many things to do every day. He should be busy planning strategies for the entire southwest prefecture. How can he have time to see you next?"
After Qin Fan glanced at Li Shizhou, he motioned to Feng Mo on the side to hand over the intelligence information he had found in the Northwest Prefecture.
Li Shizhou didn't show the expected panic, but frowned tightly.
Qin Fan somewhat understood this. It was normal for people like them to have a bit of persecution paranoia. Therefore, after Qin Fan confirmed the ambush outside Ling Jue Mountain, his first thought was that the other party's main target was himself.
From Li Shizhou's point of view, he also felt that the person behind the scenes took advantage of the opportunity of him coming to the Desperate Pawn Shop to complete the transaction, and actually wanted to assassinate him.
So after having this expectation, Li Shizhou showed the prudent demeanor that a hero should have.
Then he put down the paper filled with information, looked at Qin Fan seriously and said:
"That should be a strong piece of evidence."
"Does it prove that you were not involved? But this does not rule out the possibility of a trick." In fact, when he said these words, Qin Fan had basically cleared Li Shizhou's suspicion, and the remaining point was the vigilance that must be retained. .
After all, if it is really a bitter trick, it will be a disaster if it is not done well. Moreover, Li Shizhou's situation is different from his own. The power he established is not a one-word statement, so the news of his death at this moment has a great impact on his Shaohou Army.
After hearing this, Li Shizhou rolled his eyes at Qin Fan and stopped worrying about whether he was suspicious or not.
"Why do you think this rumor is spreading? To use my death to instigate the relationship between Gui Shi and Da Xuan?"
"The main target is definitely you and your Shaohou Army, there is no need to say more about this.
Regarding the ghost market, they probably have the idea of shooting the rabbit out of the grass. Of course, they do not rule out the possibility of killing two birds with one stone in the plan they have formulated.
As for instigation...it's a bit troublesome indeed. "
Qin Fan replied after thinking for a moment.
Di Fei, who had been standing behind Li Shizhou, was surprised and said in confusion:
"Your Excellency Guizun, we saw those big screens showing news on the way here. When the time comes, let the Lord show up in person to clarify, we should be able to avoid unnecessary conflicts between Gui Shi and Daxuan."
Qin Fan shook his head. He found that Di Feijing was still a little immature now. If he were a complete lower-headed dragon, he would never ask such innocent questions.
Li Shizhou took the initiative to explain:
"It is indeed a way for me to come forward personally to clarify, but who can confirm that the person who appears on the screen is not someone else pretending to be someone else.
Moreover, when this rumor is thrown out, the other party should make relevant arrangements.
As long as they don't see the real person of this prince, they can find countless excuses to get through.
The most important thing is that this rumor is just a lead, and the forces that will actually be affected by this lead have their own agendas.
To put it simply, this is the same reason why Brother Qin attacked the White Tiger Hall. "
In fact, what Li Shizhou wanted to give as an example was the true cause of Zhuge Zhengwo's death. It was also a frame-up and fabrication of facts. The other party's methods were obviously much rougher than Qin Fan's, but the other party also had an advantage that Qin Fan did not have.
It is a stronger public opinion energy. In other words, the forces that endorse this rumor can gain more recognition from the public if they work together, which also eliminates the disadvantage of this slightly crude method.
After Di Feijing pondered for a moment, he realized:
"So the best way to completely settle this rumor is for the Lord to return to the northwest capital as soon as possible to stabilize the overall situation, but this should also be their real purpose!"
"That's right." Qin Fan looked at Di Feijing with admiration, and then asked Li Shizhou, "Do you want to go back?"
"You think I've had enough life, right?" Li Shizhou spread his hands helplessly.
Knowing that the other party's purpose is to lure him back to the northwest state capital, the result must be that there is an even more dangerous ambush waiting for him than outside Lingjue Mountain.
And if he dies by then, the loopholes in the story can be filled in, and the main target will be moved to the ghost market.
So even if Li Shizhou proposed to leave now, Qin Fan would never let him go back.
"Your Shaohou Army was established by borrowing a chicken to lay an egg and relying on the strength of other powerful lords?" Qin Fan suddenly asked.
Li Shizhou nodded, understanding what the other party meant.
Some of those powerful princes must have been dissatisfied with their continued decision-making, and were thinking of taking back all the eggs laid by the borrowed chickens with interest.
This also means that if he had not returned to the northwest state capital as soon as possible, the Shaohou Army under his control would probably have been completely divided by him.
You must know that as an army that attacks a state head-on, the overall strength of the Shaohou Army is better than the sum of the miscellaneous military forces in the ghost city. Of course, this does not include the Black Fire Puppet who showed off his power on the top of the Sword Mountain. military.
Therefore, it is difficult for such a big piece of fat not to arouse other people's hearts.
In addition, in these troubled times, anyone who is a little ambitious can be the boss, but who wants to be the second and third child?
Therefore, it is normal for a few moles to appear in the originally monolithic Quanhou family.
Immediately, Di Fei was shocked and understood the true meaning of Qin Fan's question. At this moment, his brows furrowed tightly, because according to the analysis just now, it was impossible for Li Shizhou to return to the northwest state capital, and it would not be possible if he did not go back.
If you delay for too long, unexpected surprises may occur.
So is this a direct dead end?
But just when he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he found that both Qin Fan and Li Shizhou were drinking tea in a leisurely manner.
When the two of them put down their teacups, Qin Fan said:
"You want to use the other party's layout to clean up the hidden dangers inside, and at the same time establish the prestige of your young prince?"
"Actually, you can put it more bluntly. For example, the residual value of those powerful princes is not much, and such a group of uncles at home is really an eyesore. It is not bad to take this opportunity to make a few uncles disappear."
Li Shizhou chuckled lightly, but his eyes were full of indifference.
Feng Mo, who was standing next to Qin Fan and was also thinking hard, suddenly realized that the young prince in front of him was not a good-for-nothing protected by his father's generation.
Even though he was beaten by Qin Fan, he was definitely not less difficult than any other leader.
More importantly, he also inherited all the advantages of Fang Yingkan and Li Chenzhou.
Therefore, when he is plotted by the other party, even without Qin Fan's help, he may not necessarily die.
Similarly, Di Feijing also thought of this. He breathed a sigh of relief and spontaneously gave Li Shizhou some tea.
Then Li Shizhou said:
"Of course, if you don't play well, you may lose your wife and lose your troops. As for you, you don't want to face an attack in the court at this time, or even accidentally make the declaration of war you just issued. It would be a joke.”
"So we must first cut off the claws extended by the imperial court."
"That's right, but I can't go to Daxuan in person, because I don't rule out the possibility of one of the factions colluding with it. Of course, it should be said that there must be a faction with considerable power in the court that has joined forces with those forces who plot against you and me. "
"What are you going to do?"
"Send Xiaofei and Yang Guo back to the Xuanhuang Territory, and then transfer to the Northwest Prefecture."
"They both could die."
"So this requires Your Majesty Guizun to personally go out and attract attention."
Qin Fan touched his chin and said, "What can I get?"
"The State Shepherd of the Southwest Prefecture, the general under Guan Xuan, Yue Qizhi, is one of my men. He has 20,000 Snow Goose Heroes in his hands. When necessary, he will help you launch a fatal sniper strike."
"Twenty thousand?" Qin Fan raised his eyebrows and admitted that he was a little shocked.
The Xue Yanying Cavalry under the command of the Southwest Prefecture Mu Guan Xuan is not inferior to the Silver Fall Army of the former Nanxuan Prefecture Mu Che, and because the Southwest Prefecture is not in a state of chaos like the Nanxuan Prefecture, his cavalry has reached the level of A full complement of 50,000 people.
As a result, Li Shizhou now told him that 20,000 of them were his people.
"It should be more than that. There are also some forces in the world that you have supported." Qin Fan said after thinking for a moment.
"When you occupy the southwest state capital, I will ask them to withdraw."
"This is not enough. I need them to help me stabilize the local order before I leave. At the same time, they must also contribute to my attack on the ghost city."
Li Shizhou's expression darkened, then he smashed the table next to him with one palm, stood up and said angrily:
"You are relying on my many years of arrangements to conquer the world for yourself. Don't forget, the Southwest Prefecture was originally my goal, but because of what you did on the top of Daoshan, I can only Change strategic direction, and this account..."
"Are you sure you want to settle the matter now?" Qin Fan guessed that Li Shizhou would be a little unhappy, but it was none of his business.
From the beginning of contact with him, he knew that the other party was the same kind of person as Xue Yan to a certain extent. There was no possibility of regaining him. Only by completely suppressing him could he ensure that nothing would go wrong in this 'cooperation' .
And he knows better that the other party will never affect his decision because of emotional problems.
Besides, the angry and unwilling look he is showing now, who can confirm whether it is true?
In particular, Qin Fan, through his control of the true meaning of martial arts, could detect that although his negative emotions had some ups and downs, they were definitely not to the level where he seemed to overturn the table if he disagreed.
To put it bluntly, Li Shizhou was just bargaining with this way of expressing his stance.
Then Qin Fan impatiently pointed at Lei Chun, who was standing obediently behind Li Shizhou.
"I will arrange a fateful disaster for her. After she reaches the growth stage and can confirm the location of Guan Qi, I will help her completely break away from her destiny."
"Disconnect? Not detach?" Li Shizhou regained his composure instantly and sat back to his original position and asked.
This second change of expression made Feng Mo, who was standing next to Qin Fan, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Di Feijing, on the other hand, kept his head lowered, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, snickering like a fox, and his peripheral vision was also looking at Lei Chun, who was a little confused by the sudden call.
At the same time, his ears quietly perked up, obviously very interested in Qin Fan's next explanation.
"Are you sure you want to help him escape?
You have gone through this process, and you should know that it was not a wonderful process for you.
Of course, the more important thing is that the original owner of her destiny body cannot practice martial arts, nor does she follow the extremely unpopular magic divination path like her. This also means that she has escaped from destiny. In addition to being more sympathetic to that cruel past, There is no benefit at all. "
Qin Fan took a deep look at Lei Chun and said.
Just when Lei Chun wanted to refuse, he was interrupted by Li Shizhou:
"You probably won't take action now."
"Of course, but if I can arrange a fateful disaster for her first, and then completely break off the fate, it depends on your actions."
"I think it's still a bit of a loss."
"It's not a loss. If you help me, you are also helping yourself. After all, as long as the movement caused by me is too big, I can attract all the mice in the dark, thereby helping your plan to be implemented smoothly and reducing the probability of beating a chicken to an egg. lowest.
Besides, you have also saved the lives of those subordinates who are loyal to you, because even without their intervention, I would have been late at most in taking over the southwest capital, and this process would definitely involve a major purge.
By standing in line in advance, you can still bring these effective forces back to the northwest state capital. This is already a very good result. "
At this point, Li Shizhou did not continue to bargain, because he knew that Qin Fan was right. The cooperation between the two was equally profitable, and the life-threatening problem on Lei Chun's side could be solved.
For him, it's not a big profit, but it's definitely not a loss.
After all, since he took the initiative to transfer the strategic target to the northwest state capital, he knew that the southwest state capital had no chance of being there. With this, he could retain most of the power he had accumulated over the years. If the move went smoothly, it would be a very good ending. .
"Then let's get down to business, Xiao Fei and Yang Guo need to set off immediately, and Brother Qin, you also need to divert some attention in time."
"My words are not enough. Brother Li, would you like to accompany me to the Heavenly Sword Gate?"
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear."
The two raised their teacups from afar, and the Qin and Li alliance was officially concluded.
Qin Fan also saw Li Shizhou's name appearing in the alliance column in the force interface.
Later, Qin Fan didn't ask much about how Li Shizhou arranged a plan that allowed Yang Guo and Di Feijing to completely cut off the trouble caused by the imperial court.
After all, I am quite reassured by the other party's schemes and methods.
Including the negative impact caused by the Northwest Prefecture's announcement that he had killed Li Shizhou, Qin Fan did not pay much attention to it.
Because getting rid of rumors is a troublesome thing, especially when the other party is determined to throw such dirt on you, and it is even more difficult to completely clarify it. In this case, why waste this time.
And the people of Nanxuan Prefecture would not believe this nonsense. Even if they did, they would think that the young Marquis really deserved to die.
So Qin Fan is now focusing all his attention on the battle in the Southwest Prefecture.
Of course, before setting off, he felt it was necessary to meet the brother he was thinking about.
