Aunt Mei chuckled and said: "Do you know why King Taishan took the risk to rebel? Although he is in charge of Xuzhou, he does not know how to win people's hearts. He also behaves in Xuzhou on weekdays and is nepotistic. The officials in Xuzhou are unconvinced by him. "
Qi Ning said: "I'm really surprised by what you said. Aunt Mei, last time when we were at Niuwangpo, you said that King Taishan would only dare to rebel if he had a backer. Are you from the Northern Han Dynasty? You must be acquainted with this matter. It’s as if you can see the fire.”
Aunt Mei twisted her delicate body, leaned in Qining's arms, and giggled: "You are so smart, guess why King Taishan dared to take risks and wanted to kill Prince Duan Shao in Xuzhou?"
Qi Ning pondered for a moment, then his body shook violently, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "So that's it, that's it. Hey, actually I should have thought of it a long time ago, but I only realized it now. I'm really stupid."
"Oh?" Aunt Mei's beautiful eyes flickered, and she chuckled: "Little guy, tell me, what did you think of?"
Qi Ning sighed: "Why would my aunt ask questions knowingly? If I am not wrong, King Taishan is so confident that he dares to attack Duan Shao. It must be my aunt who is supporting him behind the scenes."
Aunt Mei's white snake-like soft and delicate body twisted again, raised her head slightly, looked at Qining with her charming eyes, charming and affectionate, and asked with a smile: "Do you think it's me? I have such great ability, I can make King Taishan listen. my words?"
"King Taishan may not rebel because of his aunt, but with Baiyun Island Master, he has nothing to fear." Qining sighed: "Back then, when the king of Dong Qi tried to kill your father, King Taishan was not very old at that time, and he His temper is violent. I think the King of Dong Qi will definitely not let King Taishan participate in that matter and murder your father. This matter is despicable and insidious. Naturally, the King of Dong Qi will not let many people know about it, so Taishan The king may not know the inside story of those things back then, and even your true identity may not be clear to King Taishan."
Aunt Mei’s beautiful eyes were smiling and her voice was soft and sweet: “Keep talking.”
"King Taishan may not know your identity, but Baiyun Island Master certainly knows." Qining said: "Baiyun Island Master is like a god in Dong Qi. He is the king of Dong Qi. I'm afraid he also wants to see the island. The Lord acts according to his face. King Taishan is the eldest son, but he was squeezed out of the capital, and there is no hope for the throne. This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that once Duan Shao ascends the throne, what will happen to him? "
Aunt Mei's voice was soft and she said softly: "Taishan King and Duan Shao have been fighting since childhood. The two are incompatible. Once Duan Shao takes over the power, Taishan King will naturally not end well."
"That's right, no matter how stupid King Taishan is, it's impossible not to understand this." Qining gently stroked Aunt Mei's slender waist with one hand, and said softly: "It's just that King Taishan is weak, even in Xuzhou. There is no climate. For him, if he does nothing, there is only one word to describe it."
"Sit back and wait for death!" Aunt Mei smiled softly.
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Exactly. Of course King Taishan is not willing to sit back and wait for death. Although he has not formed a big climate, he still has a group of people under his command. For Duan Shao, his position as prince is not safe, because King Linzi His mother was favored, so King Linzi became Duan Shao's biggest threat." He sighed and said: "For people in high positions, any visible or invisible threat must not be allowed to exist. The best way is to nip it in the bud, so Duan Shao has to be wary not only of King Taishan, but also of King Linzi. Of course, he has been thinking about how to eradicate these two people quietly."
Aunt Mei sighed faintly: "If you were a prince, it would be very scary to be so scheming."
Qi Ning said: "I can think of it, but I may not be able to do it. I am not a prince, so I don't have to face such a choice. But Duan Shao finally came up with the strategy of killing two birds with one stone. Even the last hunting in Xuzhou, in fact, he may not He was completely sure, but he was taking a gamble. He sent himself to Xuzhou as a bait and put it on King Taishan's mouth to see if King Taishan would bite him."
Aunt Mei smiled and said: "The King of Taishan may not know Duan Shao very well, but Duan Shao knows the King of Taishan well."
"Actually, you can't say that." Qi Ning said: "At least Prince Duan Shao may not be completely sure whether King Taishan will fall into the trap. However, he has made all preparations. Even if King Taishan cannot take the bait, I will at least look for an opportunity so that King Linzi will never come back, and he will definitely put the responsibility on the head of King Taishan." He smiled faintly and said: "I arrived at Niuwang Slope that day and saw the camp layout. It didn't look like an ordinary one at all. Not hunting, but marching and setting up formations, Duan Shao has already prepared how he will respond once King Taishan comes to kill him."
"Without careful arrangements, Duan Shao would not have dared to go to Xuzhou." Aunt Mei said, "How could a person as deep-minded as Duan Shao be easily involved in danger?"
Qi Ning said: "King Taishan naturally doesn't know that Cheng Wu, the most valued general around him, is the person arranged by the prince. I even doubt that besides Cheng Wu, the prince has other back-ups. It’s just that I didn’t need it later.”
Aunt Mei smiled bitterly and said: "After all, I still underestimated Duan Shao. Although I know that Duan Shao is prepared, King Taishan may not have no chance if he uses all the power under his men to fight with all his strength."
Qi Ning said: "So there is no one but Aunt Mei who really determined King Taishan to send troops to rebel." Looking down at Chi Danmei's charming and beautiful face, he sighed softly: "Of course you have a way to make King Taishan believe that you are Baiyun Island disciple, as long as he believes that you are the disciple of Island Master Mo, then he will naturally believe everything you say. If you tell him, Island Master Mo does not want Duan Shao to ascend the throne and wants him to be the King of Mount Tai. Being able to inherit the throne and persuade him to eradicate Duan Shao immediately, King Taishan will naturally not hesitate. In his opinion, with the support of Baiyun Island Master, as long as Duan Shao is killed, then the throne of Eastern Qi will naturally belong to him. He does not trust him. You, but he has deep faith in Baiyun Island Master.”
There was a trace of surprise in Aunt Mei's charming eyes. She looked at Qi Ning, her charming fog-like eyes looked at Qi Ning's bright eyes, and finally sighed: "You are better than Aunt Mei thought." Be smart. It seems like you, the little guy, heard all this with your own ears. You are right. Without the support of the island owner, King Taishan would never dare to act rashly, so I just need to make him believe that the island owner wants him to inherit. As for the throne, he will not be afraid of anything. It is not too difficult for me to make him believe that this is the island owner’s intention.”
"Letting them kill each other as brothers is just a plan for you to take revenge on them." Qi Ning sighed: "It's just that you also miscalculated, and in the end it helped Duan Shao. Now the three princes of Dong Qi have gone away. Second, Duan Shao’s position is already as secure as a mountain."
Aunt Mei twisted her body and sighed: "Who knew things would end up like this. I'm still thinking that when King Taishan gets rid of Duan Shao, I might as well lead his troops to the capital. It's a pity that the mud can't support the wall. , there is really no other way, so I can only plan and take action myself."
Qi Ning thought to himself that it would be really scary if this woman really started to use her schemes. Fortunately, Chi Danmei was not his opponent, otherwise it would have been a big trouble. Thinking of the situation in the capital, he said softly: "What are you doing this time?" Entering the palace to assassinate, I don’t know if the Northern Han Dynasty will explain it clearly."
"Are you worried that Princess Tianxiang will be snatched away by the Northern Han people?" Aunt Mei chuckled and said, "That's really possible. The Northern Han Dynasty wants to cede territory to ask for marriage. Do you, the Chu State, have such courage?"
Qi Ning smiled lightly and said: "The Chu State will never be able to cede territory and ask for marriage. The emperor will not agree to it, and I will not agree to it. Although the Chu State's territory is not small, every inch of the territory is filled with the blood of the Chu State's soldiers. Naturally, one cannot easily cede an inch of the land dyed red. If you want to get the land of Chu, you have to sacrifice your life." He frowned and said, "Auntie, do you think the Northern Han people are crazy? In order to compete for Princess Tianxiang, they ceded a large area Land, what incompetent person came up with this idea?”
Aunt Mei smiled charmingly and said: "When someone has the upper hand, you scold them behind their back. If you have the ability, think of a way to make the Northern Han people go back to the Northern Han Dynasty in disgrace." After a pause, she said: "But the Northern Han people are not like this. His hands are very powerful. The Hunjun calls himself a wise and holy king and always wants to expand the territory. This time the Northern Han Dynasty ceded Maling Mountain, which was really a big blow to the Hunjun. Although Beitang Feng brought me into the palace, The Eastern Qi will definitely use this to make things difficult for the Northern Han, but the Northern Han people will also come up with countermeasures. Little guy, I'm afraid you will return empty-handed from your trip to the Eastern Qi."
Qi Ning felt really troubled, and said, "Forget it, let's think about these things later." He asked, "Auntie, you see the island owner and the Sword God are very familiar with each other. Could it be possible that they had a relationship a long time ago? I heard that when the Sword God was young, he liked to travel around and make many friends in the world. Did he know the island owner at that time?"
Chi Danmei said: "Before the island owner settled on Baiyun Island, I didn't know what he did. It's just that when the former emperor was still in power, he made the island owner a national advisor. However, the island owner never He had intervened in the national affairs of Dong Qi. However, the eldest brother once revealed that when the island owner was young, he seemed to have traveled around and made many friends. It was probably at that time that he met the sword god. However, they should not have seen each other for many years. The Lord lives on Baiyun Island all year round, and the Sword God has never been to Baiyun Island, so they should have no chance of meeting each other."
"That time when you went to Chu State and asked me about the whereabouts of the Sword God on the Qinhuai River, it didn't seem like the island owner meant it. Why did you want to know the whereabouts of the Sword God?" Qining asked.
Chi Danmei's cheeks were slightly dizzy and she said, "That... that's nothing."
Qi Ning scratched Chi Danmei's body. Chi Danmei giggled, twisted her body, and said: "Stop making trouble, it's good... it's so itchy, good, I said, actually... I was watching it at Daguangming Temple." When I think of you, I think of the sword god Beigong Liancheng, who was born in the Jinyi Qi family. The sword god has not been heard from for many years. I just want to find out if... If he is still alive, I will see if there is a chance for him to enter the Qi Palace to kill the Hunjun. .”
Qi Ning was startled, then Chi Danmei said: "In the whole world, the only one who can enter and exit the Qi Palace at will to kill the Hunjun is probably the Grand Master."
Qi Ning sighed: "You are really fanciful. How could the Sword God kill the King of Dong Qi because of you?"
"I have no choice." Chi Danmei said: "I just want to know if he is still alive. If he is alive, I will find a way to let him kill Hun Jun."
"Fortunately you didn't." Qi Ning said: "If the Sword God knew that you wanted to use him to kill people, I'm afraid you would be killed by him first. Don't you see, the great master is so arrogant, how can you endure it? Others take advantage of them? They are only players in the game, not chess pieces on the chessboard." He raised his hand and gently scratched Chi Danmei Qiong's nose, and said: "Don't do anything wrong in the future. Revenge will naturally be avenged, but you must Think long-term and don’t be reckless.”
He looked much younger than Chi Danmei, but at this time his tone was like an adult educating a child. Chi Danmei rolled her eyes at Qi Ning, but she was charming, enchanting and beautiful.
