020. Yu Wei
In the secret room of Bojun's Mansion in the Ministry of Xiang Liu, Xiang Liu was discussing something with someone. He asked: "Mr. Kao Shi, Boyu has arrived in Huaize, what does Wuzhi Qi say?"
The man called Mr. Kaoshi is a young man in his twenties, who feels that his cultivation should be at the fifth level. A fifth-level monk can be considered an expert, but he is still not enough in front of Xiang Liu. This person
At such a young age, not only could he have a seat in front of Xiang Liu, but he was also called "Sir" by this uncle, which shows that his origin and identity are not simple.
If Huwa were here, he might feel familiar when he saw Kao Shi. Huwa actually didn't know Kao Shi. In fact, he had never seen this person before. It was a mysterious and indescribable fairy feeling.
Kaoshi leaned forward and replied: "I met with Wuzhiqi, and the specific matters were discussed with the Demon King Dao Tou. That Wuzhiqi was very arrogant, and now he controls the Hongmeng clan, the Shangzhang clan, the Douhu clan, and the Li clan.
There are four major tribes of the Lou clan, and there are many small tribes in Huaize area that are attached to these four major tribes. He will definitely prevent Boyu from controlling the water in Huaize, and even wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Boyu."
Xiang Liu sneered and said: "He is too crazy! If Boyu was so easy to get rid of, he would not be alive today. Boyu is not alone. Controlling floods is the great cause of justice. He is the hope of all people. There are many experts behind him to help. No matter
Zhi Qi has already taken control of the tribes around Huaize, so he should stop when he sees fit. If he still wants to get rid of Boyu, he will be desperate!
In other words, even if he really kills Boyu, what's the use? The Emperor of China will definitely appoint another flood control minister, and there will be no compromise with Wuzhiqi. What I mean is, what do you have?
Didn’t you make it clear to Wuzhiqi?”
Kaoshi quickly replied: "I have conveyed your Lord's suggestion to Wuzhi Qi. He and several demon kings under his command all agreed with it, and were very grateful and admired you, Lord. But Wuzhi Qi said that he must first give it to Uncle
Let's see how powerful Yu is, otherwise he would make peace so easily, and Boyu and the Emperor of China would not happily agree to his request."
Xiang Liu frowned and said: "Of course it is necessary to take action. This is my plan. I wonder how he wants to take action?"
Kaoshi: "According to the sword-headed demon king, Boyu must be subdued first. After defeating him, he will be frightened, and then put forward conditions. At that time, the ministries around Huaize will ask for support, and Boyu and the Emperor of China will have to agree.
.But if Boyu can be destroyed with one action, it means that this person has nothing to worry about, and there is no need to worry about the rest."
Xiang Liu: "Wuzhi Qi is simply more arrogant than Fang Feng!"
Kao Shi shook his head slightly and said: "The situation of these two people is completely different. Although Fangfeng is arrogant, he only dominates the land of Baiyue and does not accept Chinese education, but after all, he is the Chinese Bojun canonized by the emperor. He once made contributions to water control, and now
He is also leading tribesmen from various parts of Baiyue to control floods. As long as he does not go too far, it is difficult to find excuses to deal with him, and no one is even willing to provoke him.
But who is Wuzhiqi? He is just an evildoer who takes advantage of the flood to cause trouble. Not to mention his achievements in controlling the flood, he is one of the flood victims and has seriously harmed his people. It’s just that his current ideas are beneficial to your plan, so he is
Can be cooperated.”
Xiang Liu muttered: "Wuzhiqi's plan is not unreasonable. He really needs to let Boyu see how powerful he is before he gives in and negotiates. Now his biggest advantage is that he occupies the Huaize River system and has the support of the surrounding tribes.
, you can advance and attack, retreat and defend, you can make Boyu helpless, but you can't just make trouble."
Kao Shi: "Your Majesty, please! Let the water demon of Wuzhiqi fight with Boyu. No matter how powerful he is, he can only occupy Huaize, and Boyu should also know that Wuzhiqi will be difficult to control. At that time, my lord, you will lead the army to the north.
, intervening in mediation in the name of assisting in water control can achieve the goal."
If there is anyone among most of the monarchs who least wants to see Boyu succeed in controlling the floods, of course the first one is Xiang Liu. When Boyu controls the water of the river, Xiang Liu cannot stop it, and it is also good for Xiang Liu's tribe, but Xiang Liu will never do it.
I hope to see Boyu succeed in governing Huaize. As long as Huaize is still there, most of the former Gonggong land will still be separated from the outside world, which is still the most advantageous condition for him to dominate one side.
So when Boyu went to Huaize, Xiang Liu also sent Kaoshi to secretly contact Wuzhiqi and sent him a prepared plan. There was bound to be a battle between Wuzhiqi and Boyu. When the two sides reached a stalemate, he
He came forward to "help" again, and the ultimate goal was to retain Huaize. Almost all these strategies were the work of Mr. Kao Shi next to him, but Kao Shi did not take the credit, and instead praised Mr. Xiang Liu for his cleverness.
This Xiang Liu didn't have a long memory. He still used the same strategy as Di Jiang of the Gonggong clan. Di Jiang instigated the Chongchen tribe to fight Jiuli, and then led a large army to suppress the border in the name of mediation. What was the result?
?Although Xiang Liu's department is strong, it is not as strong as the Gonggong Department of the past; although Xiang Liu himself is strong, he is not as strong as Di Jiang. But now that the world situation has changed, he has not made any progress at all.
Kaoshi added: "The military formations are being assembled, and the warships have been built. We are waiting for news from Huaize. If Boyu has no choice but to hold the Qi, then in a few days, my lord, you can lead the army and set off."
At this moment, a subordinate suddenly came down to report the visit of Mr. Lu Zhong of the Rong clan. Xiang Liu was surprised and said: "What is he doing here? It's so sudden, it's not even dawn yet!"
Kao Shi frowned and said: "I must have noticed that your Excellency is building warships and gathering military formations. Lu Zhong has already guessed your plan and came here specifically to delay Your Excellency."
Xiang Liu snorted coldly: "He is quite courageous! Do you still think it was the time when the four war gods shocked all the tribes? With one arm and a broken body, he can still have some majesty. Am I afraid of him? He penetrates deeply into my Xiang Liu
In this land, if you really dare to fall out, wouldn't it be like seeking death?"
Kaoshi quickly reminded: "Of course your Excellency is not afraid of Na Luzhong. But if he comes openly and in the name of a visit, Your Excellency, it's hard to fall out with him. No matter how much magical power he has left, we should not underestimate him. If he really takes action,
Of course you can win, sir, but if the commotion becomes too big, or if this person is not retained in the end, it will not be a good thing for Prime Minister Liubu."
These words are already very tactful. Lu Zhong has mastered Chi You's magical skill. Even if one of his arms is missing and his power is no longer at its peak, it is definitely not easy to deal with. Although Xiang Liu is full of confidence, he may not be able to defeat Lu Zhong.
, even if you can defeat Lu Zhong, you may not be able to keep Lu Zhong if you really take action.
What is even more worrying is that Lu finally came in the name of being a guest. What reason did Xiang Liu have to fall out with others? That would be a blatant provocation to the Chongchen tribe, and he would lose his reputation for justice, and would even be criticized by all the tribes in the world.
Common condemnation and crusade.
Even if these are not problems, this is the core territory of the Xiangliu tribe. If masters like Xiangliu and Lu Zhong really let go and fight, it would be easy to destroy a city. No matter who wins or loses, it will be bad luck.
All of them are from Xiang Liu’s department. In that case, how can Xiang Liu meddle in other affairs?
Xiang Liu asked his subordinates with a sullen face: "Did Lu finally come alone?"
The subordinate said: "He is indeed here alone, without any entourage. At this moment, before the city gate has opened, he is already standing outside the city."
Kaoshi further analyzed: "Now the Chongchen headquarters and its affiliated tribes have put in their hard work to dig ditches, dredge waterways, cultivate fields, and build villages and farms. They are still too busy with their own affairs, and indeed they can't spare any time."
There are more people. Not to mention arriving here from the Chongchen tribe. Now they are blocked by many swamps. Lu finally wants to meddle in his own business, so he can only come alone.
If he wanted to enter the city, he didn't need to go through the city gate, and he wouldn't be discovered. He deliberately waited there before the city gate opened, just to let everyone know that he was coming, and that he was visiting your lord.
name……"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice: "Chongchen Bulu finally came to visit. I have heard for a long time that Lord Xiangliu has great cultivation skills, so I came here to spend a few days to discuss and gain insights. I also heard that Xiangliu Bulu is successful in controlling floods.
I also want to observe it here for a few months and learn from it for Chongchen Department’s flood control.”
Lu Zhong was still outside the city, and his voice reached Bojun's mansion, and everyone in the city heard it. Just before dawn, when he spoke, all the roosters inside and outside the city crowed, and many people
They were all awakened, and then got up. This was good, everyone knew that Lu Zhong was coming. He not only wanted to visit Lord Xiangliu, but also visited Xiangliu's department for several months. His current intention was not to leave for the time being.
Lu Zhong didn't know Xiang Liu's plan, but seeing that Xiang Liu's tribe did not try its best to control the water under the current situation, but instead built warships and assembled military formations, of course he could guess that Xiang Liu must have something up his sleeve. Lu Zhong came here.
The purpose is to make Xiang Liu dare not act rashly. Even if he wants to stay on the territory of Xiang Liu's department, Xiang Liu will not dare to fall out with him.
When Lu Zhong proposed a duel with Di Jiang back then, he had already put life and death aside, and now he is not afraid of Xiang Liu. If he said that he could deal with the entire Xiang Liu tribe by himself, it would of course be an exaggeration, but on other people's territory
In a fight, the louder the noise, the more damaged Xiang Liu's department will be. Only an idiot would fight with him, not to mention that Xiang Liu can't find an excuse to fall out.
Lu Zhong was not only here to intimidate Xiang Liu, but also to hold him back. As long as Lu Zhong was still in Xiang Liu's tribe, how could Xiang Liu leave with the elite members of his tribe while leaving Lu Zhong hanging around in his tribe's territory?
If Xiang Liu has an open heart, he may not care, but if he has evil intentions, he certainly won't dare.
Kao Shi also had to secretly admire Lu Zhong's courage. This man represented the remaining power of the four Chinese war gods. Even if Xiang Liu said he was not afraid, it was impossible not to be afraid in his heart. When Lu Zhong came, he represented Xiang Liu
They can no longer leave, and the elite military formations assembled in the tribe cannot be sent out anymore.
This is just a one-armed death. If Bo Yi comes, Xiang Liu, who has something in his heart, may be thinking about how to escape, right?
Xiang Liu said with a gloomy face: "Since he is visiting in public like this, Xiang Liu's department must not lose etiquette and quickly open the city gate to greet him so that he has no excuse to find trouble... Mr. Kaoshi, please rush to Huaize immediately and tell
Wu Zhiqi, the previous plan has changed, I may not be able to arrive in time."
Kaoshi said hesitantly: "Actually, Wuzhiqi said last time that he would like to thank you for your guidance and help, but as the God of Huaihe, he can handle matters in Huaize, so he does not need your help..."
In this case, it would be better to let Wuzhiqi suffer a little."
Wuzhiqi was even more arrogant than Xiang Liu thought. In fact, he didn't give Kao Shixian, a small five-level monk, any face. He just met him once and sent the Blade-Head Demon King to receive him. Kao Shixian's strategy was
Okay, the Blade-Head Demon King also said that he could consider it, but said that there was no need for Xiang Liubu to intervene anymore.
These words were very disrespectful, so Kao Shifang didn't say it directly, and was thinking about how to tell Xiang Liu tactfully. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhong suddenly came, and now Xiang Liu couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
…
Lu Zhong may not be aware of Xiang Liu's plot to collude with Wuzhi Qi, but he just wants to frighten Xiang Liu so that Xiang Liu cannot act rashly at this juncture. But Wuzhi Qi from Huaize actually took the initiative first.
On the night when Boyu convened the leaders of various tribes to discuss flood control, he sent his water demons to attack Tushan. This was obviously to catch Boyu off guard.
Boyu really didn't think about it in advance. In fact, he didn't know the details of the so-called Huai Shen Wu Zhiqi until he met the Qingqiu girl. He didn't even have time to make any preparations, and the water demon had already arrived!
Wu Zhi, Shan Zha, and Shan Cha were all sent out, and Ao Guang suffered a heavy loss. However, the Blade Demon King and all the demon soldiers and demon generals under his command were all secretly left in the artifact jade ring by Hu Wa.
, slapped Huaize back.
When Boyu walked down Tushan Mountain, the sky was just getting dark. The water demon came last night, and no movement was seen among the people of the Tushan tribe on the other side of the mountain. It must be that Qingqiu had already warned Lord Tushan, and the Tushan family
The Lord also warned his subordinates, which shows that this is not the first time this happened.
Qingqiu handed a belt made of soft fluff to Boyu and said, "Sir, it's daybreak and it's time for me to return to my tribe. The people here don't know my identity. They only know that I am the daughter of the Tushan clan. Sir
There is no need to mention it clearly. If something happens, you can call me through this thing."
Boyu stretched out his hand to take it, but Qingqiu put it on his wrist with his own hands, and then disappeared, leaving only a faint scent of fragrance.
Boyu's camp is at the foot of Tushan Mountain. It is a very spacious and exquisite courtyard. It was originally the manor of Bojun of the Tushan clan. Lord Tushan placed him here, it seems, not just because of etiquette. On this morning
, the people of the Tushan tribe close to this area began to move to higher places on the land, even thirty miles away from Huaize.
This was obviously an order from Lord Tushan. Qingqiu should have told him something. This area is likely to become a battlefield for fighting with water monsters. People should be evacuated in advance to avoid being affected. The nearby people moved away, but Tu
Shanbu sent servants to guard the camp under Boyu's orders, but they still stayed here.
Boyu returned to the camp, but did not find anyone to inquire about the situation, because the introduction given by the Qingqiu girl was detailed enough, and ordinary tribesmen would never know more. He was waiting for Wu Zhi and others to return, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
If he had known that he would see Qingqiu last night, he would not have sent people out, and it would be difficult for Wu Zhi and others to find out more about the inside story.
Before noon, Wu Zhi and the two auspicious beasts came back. As soon as he saw them, Boyu was surprised and quickly stepped forward and said: "Mr. Wu Zhi, why are you and Shan Zha injured?"
Ao Guang screamed strangely at the same time: "You are not here. A water demon attacked last night. I was carelessly injured. I didn't expect you, Shan Zha, to be injured too? ... Well, senior Wu Zhi, who can hurt you?"
Shan Zha was injured, and Ao Guang could feel it. However, as a true immortal, Wu Zhi, no matter how seriously injured he was, seemed to be fine on the surface. Boyu just instinctively noticed that something was wrong with his expression, so he was surprised and asked. (~
