Qi Ning clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Second uncle is indeed thoughtful. After thinking about it, I can only explain it this way."
Duan Canghai was startled, then smiled and said: "It turns out that the Marquis has discovered the clues in this a long time ago." Then he whispered: "Master Marquis, if you say so, that inexplicable Ghost Heavenly Master is really a member of the King of Huainan ?”
"It's not certain yet." Qi Ning shook his head and said: "But you said that the purpose of transferring Wu Dalin from Yulin Camp is very possible. Uncle Duan, you understand Yulin Camp better. Is Wu Dalin in Yulin Camp? Very powerful?”
Duan Canghai thought for a while and then said: "Master Marquis, although all the troops in Dachu are loyal to the emperor, everyone knows in their hearts that the most trusted one in the palace is Yulinying. Yulinying started from Emperor Taizong It has been established from the beginning that those who can enter the Yulin Camp must go through strict selection, so there is no need to doubt the loyalty of the generals of the Yulin Camp to the emperor."
"It is said that Chi Fengdian, the current commander of the Yulin Camp, has a close relationship with the Jindao Tantai family." Qining said softly.
Duan Canghai said: "This happened many years ago. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, as long as you are from the military, you are either related to the Tantai family or our Jinyi Qi family. Chi Fengdian is indeed in Jindao Lao The Marquis's subordinates had served as soldiers, but the Tantai family could not say that they had much respect for Chi Fengdian back then. The emperor once inspected the team and discovered this man, and then transferred him to the Yulin Camp, where he trained After many years, the late emperor entrusted him with the important task and handed over Yulin Camp to him."
"The former emperor was a man of great talent and strategy, and he was right in his judgment of people. Since he promoted Chi Fengdian, Chi Fengdian is naturally outstanding." Qi Ning said: "Presumably this person is indeed loyal to the palace."
Duan Canghai nodded slightly before continuing: "But Lord Marquis should still remember that when the late emperor passed away, the Yulin Camp was transferred out of the capital, and Sima Lan transferred the Black Knife Camp into the imperial city."
Qi Ning naturally remembered this matter clearly. A few days after he came to the capital, the deployment of defense occurred. At that time, the capital was in turmoil and the situation was turbulent. When Longtai ascended the throne, it was indeed the Sima family who supported him.
"Logically speaking, the Yulin Camp is the royal guard. No matter what happens in the palace, the one who serves as the guard must be the Yulin Camp." Duan Canghai said softly: "But Sima Lan transferred the Yulin Camp to the Black Scales under his control. When the battalion is transferred into the city, what do the people in the Yulin camp think?"
Qi Ning said: "Chi Fengdian, the leader of the Yulin camp, once served as a soldier under the Tantai family, and the Tantai family once spoke for the King of Huainan in Zhezi, so Sima Lan must have been worried that the King of Huainan would use the Yulin camp to suddenly launch an attack. He The reason for deploying the Yulin camp is naturally to be on guard against King Huainan and even the Jindao Tantai family."
"Sima Lan was trying to control the situation at the time, but it also made everyone in the Yulin camp complain." Duan Canghai sneered: "The soldiers in the Yulin camp all felt that they were loyal to the emperor, but they were transferred by Sima Lan. This is undoubtedly It was a slap in the face in front of everyone in the world. Sima Lan may have always wanted to transfer Chi Fengdian away, but Chi Fengdian did not make any mistakes in his work. The Yulin camp was originally dissatisfied with Sima Lan. If he did not know why, he would Chi Fengdian's transfer will naturally cause enmity between Yulinying and the Sima family."
At this time, Qi Ning walked to a chair next to him and sat down. He motioned to Duan Canghai to sit next to him, and then said: "What the second uncle said is absolutely true. The Yulin Camp is dissatisfied with Sima Lan, and the King of Huainan can obviously see it. , so he will definitely feel that this is a great opportunity to win over the Yulin camp."
"The King of Huainan has never had military power in his hands. Although he has some people in Xuanwu Camp, he cannot control the situation of Xuanwu Camp." Duan Canghai said slowly: "His biggest support can only be the Jindao Tantai family, but Tantai However, the Tantai family has never expressed support for King Huainan in terms of soldiers and horses, and in recent years, the Tantai family members have not even been close to King Huainan, so until now, King Huainan has never had any soldiers and horses in his hands that can be mobilized."
Qi Ning nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "If the case in the Black Scale Camp was planned by King Huainan behind the scenes to transfer Wu Dalin from the Yulin Camp, what does the second uncle think the purpose of transferring Wu Dalin is?"
"The Sima family cannot control Yulin Camp, but they cannot let Yulin Camp get too far away." Duan Canghai said seriously: "Sima Lan persuaded the late emperor to transfer Wu Dalin to Yulin Camp, and promoted him along the way, and finally became The deputy commander second only to Chi Fengdian in the Yulin Camp. Although Wu Dalin's power in the Yulin Camp today is absolutely impossible to compare with Chi Fengdian, with Wu Dalin's power, it is completely possible to restrain Chi Fengdian. Arrive. The most important thing is that Wu Dalin is right next to Chi Fengdian, and his words and deeds are all in Wu Dalin's eyes. Wu Dalin is like Sima Lan's eyes and ears, always monitoring Chi Fengdian."
Qi Ning understood this matter quite well and nodded slightly.
"Master Marquis, transferring Wu Dalin away is like removing the nail that Sima Lan planted in Yulin Camp." Duan Canghai said: "Without Wu Dalin's restraint, Yulin Camp is in Chi Fengdian's hands. In this way, Come, it not only weakens Sima Lan's strength, but also gives Chi Fengdian a huge favor, so this deal for King Huainan is also a good deal."
Qi Ning showed a smile and said softly: "According to this calculation, King Huainan did benefit. He threw away the nails of Black Scale Camp, but took away the nails of Yulin Camp. In this way, at least it can ensure that Yulin Camp will never be destroyed. It has become the sphere of influence of the Sima family." Then he sighed softly and said, "But Sima Lan's reaction to this matter made me very surprised."
"oh?"
"The King of Huainan wanted to transfer Wu Dalin from the Yulin Camp. Sima Lan was present at the time and did not do anything to stop him." Qi Ning frowned and said, "If Sima Lan really wants to stop the King of Huainan from transferring Wu Dalin, there may not be any way."
"Did Sima Lan not see the key at that time?" Duan Canghai said thoughtfully: "Or maybe Sima Lan wanted to use this opportunity to extend his tentacles into the Black Scale Camp?" He smiled coldly and said: "If the case of the Black Scale Camp was caused by King Huainan's intention to transfer Wu Dalin, even if Sima Lan objected at the time, King Huainan must have followed up. Otherwise, he would have sacrificed more than a dozen nails in vain and gained nothing. Wouldn't it be a huge loss? ”
Qi Ning said: "Yesterday morning, King Huainan got his wish and transferred Wu Dalin away. However, in the evening, the guard commander of Huai'an Palace, Ghost Ajiu, died in Sima Palace. In this way, King Huainan still lost money in the end."
Duan Canghai returned to the Black Scale Camp yesterday and was unaware of this matter. Qi Ning briefly explained it immediately, and Duan Canghai immediately said: "Master Marquis, the matter is clear. Sima Lan deliberately set a trap in the palace. He did not object to King Huainan’s transfer of Wu Dalin, but because he wanted to get rid of one of King Huainan’s arms.”
Qi Ning understood what Duan Canghai meant and said: "Second uncle means that Sima Lan did not oppose King Huainan's suggestion in front of the emperor and let King Huainan get his wish. Was it because of the layout last night?"
"Master Marquis, if you think about it carefully, if the two of them had a dispute in the palace because of Wu Dalin, would King Huainan still go to the banquet last night?" Duan Canghai snorted coldly: "Actually, many people know that this King of Huainan Although he is of royal blood, he is not very generous, and some people even privately say that he is narrow-minded, which Sima Lan naturally knows very well."
If Qi Ning realized something: "Sima Lan must have spent a lot of effort to find the great son of the Mo family. He must have planned it for a long time. He must have found out the details of the ghost shadow Ajiu first, and then found the Mo family. Juzi, and then get rid of Ajiu on the grounds that the Mo family is cleaning up the family."
"That's right." Duan Canghai said: "Sima Lan must have been planning to get rid of the ghost Ajiu for a long time. It is very likely that the Mo family's great son has arrived in the capital long ago, but Sima Lan has never found a chance to take action. He and the king of Huainan are fighting openly and secretly, and they are fighting each other. No, if there is no reason to invite King Huainan to a banquet, King Huainan will never agree." Hehehe smiled and said: "It happened that the Crown Prince of Dong Qi came to see his relatives, and Sima Lan used the reason of inviting the Crown Prince of Dong Qi to a banquet, which seemed to be a casual invitation. King Huainan, but his purpose is to invite the Crown Prince of Dong Qi as a cover, and to lure King Huainan and Ajiu there is the purpose."
"He knows that King Huainan is wary of him, and he will definitely take Ajiu with him once he goes to the banquet." Qining sneered, "So as long as King Huainan agrees to go to the banquet, Ajiu will definitely die."
"In order to get rid of Ajiu, he deliberately let King Huainan get his wish in the palace. In this way, while King Huainan was in a good mood, he invited King Huainan to a banquet. King Huainan naturally agreed." Duan Canghai took a deep breath. I felt a chill in my back: "Master Hou, if the facts are really as we expected, this Sima Lan is really extremely sinister."
Qi Ning looked coldly and said: "Sima Lan is insidious, and King Huainan is not weak either. Second uncle, these two people are eyeing our Jinyi Qi family. If we are not careful, we will be swallowed by them." .”
Duan Canghai also said solemnly: "Master Hou, if anyone tries to take advantage of the Qi family, we will have to fight to the death with him even if we are shattered to pieces."
Qi Ning stood up, smiled slightly, and said: "Second Uncle Duan, I'll leave the Black Scale Camp to you. I'll go back to the house first."
Duan Canghai also stood up and said: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, you will learn from mistakes. This time something like this happened because of my negligence. There will never be a next time."
Qi Ning laughed, knowing that although Duan Canghai looked rough, he was a rough man on the outside but delicate on the inside. This time someone sneaked into the Black Scale Camp. Qi Ning himself had not thought about it before. No wonder Duan Canghai was negligent. , but after this time, Duan Canghai and others are naturally more cautious. If someone else wants to take advantage of the situation, it will not be easy.
Duan Canghai and other generals sent Qi Ning out of the camp gate, watched Qi Ning go away surrounded by Qi Feng and others, and then returned to the camp.
