Xiao Huayong thanked him calmly and even with a hint of sincerity, which made Xiao Changtai's wanton smile fall: "You did it on purpose!"
"Not stupid." Xiao Huayong raised the corners of his lips, "My goal from the beginning to the end was Geng Liangcheng, you... were just a by-product."
Geng Liangcheng has already surrendered to Emperor Youning. Even if he has bigger ulterior motives of his own, if he is not eliminated, his first step will certainly be to wait for an opportunity and join forces with Emperor Youning to harm Shen Yueshan. Before this, the more trust Shen Yueshan has in him, the greater the disaster will be if he retaliates.
However, Geng Liangcheng has never done anything detrimental to the Northwest so far. Perhaps he has done something, but there is no evidence. On the contrary, his military exploits are outstanding and his dedication to the Northwest is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if he makes an ordinary mistake, there will be countless people pleading for him.
People like Geng Liangcheng must be struck immediately, leaving them with no chance of recovery.
Xiao Huayong knew that Xiao Changtai had seen through his true face, so he deliberately entered the city and pretended to be bedridden. Xiao Changtai must have eyes and ears in Tingzhou. After learning about this, he would definitely suspect that Xiao Huayong had other intentions. Looking at the entire Tingzhou, he could not find any other changes. Xiao Changtai would definitely boldly guess that Xiao Juesong was the one he was impersonating.
The purpose is to use Geng Liangcheng to lure Xiao Changtai into a trap. In this case, Xiao Changtai might as well take advantage of the situation and persuade the Turkic king to use Geng Liangcheng as bait. The Turkish soldiers will follow Geng Liangcheng back to the city under the cover of night and take the opportunity to kill him by surprise. If they can attack Tingzhou City, it will definitely shake the foundation of the northwest.
Because the northwest is a complex power system with countless tribes entrenched there, although Shen Yueshan has suppressed, gathered and educated them in recent years, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, but they may not be willing to do so. If they don't have a chance, they will naturally be stubborn. Once they are sure that the Turks have invaded Tingzhou, they may be tempted. In addition, Shen Yueshan has passed away, which will make them even more eager to move.
If everything goes well, this move will inevitably cause the Northwest to fall apart and fall into civil strife. Xiao Huayong will also be distracted. He will take the opportunity to get rid of Xiao Huayong, and then see if he can take advantage of the chaos to make some plans and become the one to quell the riot. Then he can clarify that the witchcraft was framed by Xiao Huayong. Maybe he can negotiate with his father and become the king of the Northwest.
All we can say is that Xiao Changtai dared to think and do. If his opponent had not been Xiao Huayong, I'm afraid he might really be able to make a comeback.
With his five fingers clenched together and veins popping out on the back of his hands, Xiao Changtai felt a lump in his chest and the anger in his eyes was real. He had planned everything, but in the end, he was still caught up in Xiao Huayong's plan. Xiao Huayong was like a huge rock pressing on his back. Xiao Changtai, who had always been successful, had all his misfortunes start from when Xiao Huayong returned from the Taoist temple.
"If I had known this would happen..." Xiao Changtai gritted his teeth. If he had known this would happen, he should have pointed his sword at the Taoist temple as soon as he started to show his talent, making it impossible for Xiao Huayong to come back.
"If I had known this would happen, you would still end up like this." Xiao Huayong drooped his eyelids slightly. He did not show any contempt, but his contemptuous attitude was obvious.
"Do you think you can escape safely after coming here today?" Xiao Changtai raised his arms, and dozens of guards immediately rushed out from the rock wall behind him.
He had an appointment with Xiao Huayong today in a group of rocks. These rocks were like a series of small peaks, and behind them hid nearly half of his elite guards. Today he must make Xiao Huayong give up his life!
