"Tell Li Zixiong that we will only give him one month." Feng Deyi's tone was serious and unquestionable.

Feng Deyi was also suffering. He was limited to one month by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to resolve the crisis. At the same time, he had no solutions to make adjustments and was subject to restraint everywhere. The difficulty was too great.

Duan Da knew it well and knew that Feng Deyi was implicated by Yang Xuangan and was "attacked" by political enemies. The Holy Lord and the central core also had objections to him and were in a very difficult situation. Although Feng Deyi planned ahead and tried his best to save himself, the future seemed to be still pessimistic. Whether he could resolve the crisis, drive away the white-haired thieves to fight in the frontier, and promote the development of the situation in the northern border and even the relations between the north and the south in a direction that was conducive to Central China was the last life-saving straw he could seize. As long as he succeeded and won the recognition of the Saint Lord and the central core again, he could turn the risk into a bargain and save his political life, otherwise it would be over.

Because of this, Duan Da believed that Feng Deyi would do his best, and he could cooperate with him with all his strength. After all, the edict issued by the Holy Lord had clearly told him that Feng Deyi was the one who was in charge of this matter now. As an important figure in the Shandong noble group, Feng Deyi could call on the power of the wealthy families of Hebei and Youyan, and put huge pressure on the white-haired thieves and their heroes under his command at critical moments, and then play an important role in driving the white-haired thieves out of the frontier. Duan Da could not do this anyway. If he led the matter, he would definitely be constrained by the wealthy families of Hebei and Youyan, and he would be very likely to backfire and even ruin himself.

However, is it realistic to drive the white-haired thief out of the frontier in the next month? Duan Da is very pessimistic. If Pei Shiju did not "stop the strife", Feng Deyi and the King of Qi joined forces, and all forces should cooperate and siege from all sides, and might be able to force the white-haired thief out of the frontier in the next month. But now Pei Shiju not only "intervenes", but also reached a temporary agreement with the white-haired thief to "take the initiative to trap Feihu". The situation would be complicated. The white-haired thief could definitely infer the fierce game between the top leaders from the joint coercion of Feng Deyi, Qi Wang, and the wealthy families of Jibei and Youyan. From his own interests, coupled with the flying fox natural danger and the heavy snow in winter, he would definitely defend Feihu to death, waiting for Pei Shiju's return. In this way, he would be in a dead end. Even if Feng Deyi had the ability to go all the way through the sky and the earth, he would not get what he wanted.

Duan Da thought about the pros and cons, but he carefully tested it, "Mr. Jing, Shu said frankly that Li Zixiong is a mature person. As long as someone says a month's time limit, he can definitely guess that the situation has changed and that we can guess that we are in a certain dilemma. For this reason, he will take the opportunity to put forward higher demands to force us to compromise and make concessions."

Feng Deyi pondered and said nothing.

Duan Da continued to make a statement, "Li Zixiong has been in the center for a long time, and is well-informed. He knows that in the short term, we are simply unable to mobilize troops to enter Ji Youyan to suppress the rebellion and suppress the thieves. In other words, he has established a great advantage in seizing the flying fox and entering Yanbei. As long as he supports the heavy snow, the crisis will be effectively alleviated. The next new crisis will break out in the spring of the next year. At that time, Pei Shiju may have returned from the Western Land. Not only will the general trend of China and foreign countries change, but the situation of high-level games will also change. These are all beneficial to Li Zixiong, so..."

Duan Da did not finish his words, but his meaning was clearly expressed. It was actually impossible to drive the white-haired thief out of the frontier within one month, and it was too late. Therefore, Feng Deyi must come up with more and better countermeasures to promote the most drastic changes in the situation in the shortest time.

It would be fine if Duan Da didn't test it, but this test made Feng Deyi feel anxious. There were solutions and there were several countermeasures, but the problem was that the agreement reached between Pei Shiju and the white-haired thief was just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, Pei Shiju used the white-haired thief to dig a big "pit", but Feng Deyi was "difficult" and he opened his eyes wide and racked his brains to see this "pit". This was terrible.

Three days ago, Pei Xuanji personally gave Feng Deyi a memorial to the Holy Lord and the Central Master, and sealed the memorial in front of Feng Deyi. This is a strong hint that the white-haired thief was successful. The white-haired thief was the one, but the matter was that simple? It is definitely impossible, because even if the white-haired thief was willing to hand over the army, what about Li Zixiong? What about those rich and handsome men? Are everyone willing to hand over the army? Therefore, Pei Shiju could not help the rebels with the conditions of the Holy Lord and the Central Master. For this reason, Pei Shiju had to come up with the conditions that could impress all the rebels, and this condition must be in line with the interests of the Saint Lord and the Central Master. So what is the condition for "the best of both worlds"?

Feng Deyi didn't know and couldn't deduce it. It was meaningless to guess blindly. Only by obtaining the correct news can he make the correct judgment and come up with the correct countermeasures. Feng Deyi thought of the true identity of the white-haired thief, the Li family of Zhaojun and the Cui family of Boling, so he became even more anxious to rush to Boling.

"You first invite Li Zixiong to conduct specific negotiations. If necessary, compromise should be compromised. After all, the Holy Lord has given you a lot of authorization, and you must make full use of it." Feng Deyi said solemnly, "I rushed to Boling immediately to find out more secrets. Wenxi Gong (Pei Shiju) traveled west and had to pass Boling, and he would definitely have contact with Cui and Liu, and would definitely reveal some things related to the white-haired thief."

Feng Deyi was "secured as a bottle", Duan Da couldn't test any valuable information, and his mood was in a low mood, "Since that's the case, I will follow what Mr. Jing said."

Feng Deyi quickly crossed the river.

Duan Daye crossed the river to Qiucheng and invited Li Zixiong to have a secret talk.

That night, Duan Da and Li Zixiong met for the third time. Duan Da was straight to the point, "When will you evacuate Shanggu?"

Li Zixiong smiled and said, "I will definitely withdraw when it is time to withdraw."

Duan Da was unhappy when he heard this, "You don't have any plans to evacuate yet? Do you really want to fight someone with a corpse all over the world and blood flows like a river?"

Li Zixiong's face darkened and his tone was cold and solemn, "I told you last time that you and I will tacitly maintain the chaos in northern Hebei, and force the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to return to Dongdu by water. I would like to be patient and watch the changes. The changes in the situation are much more complicated than you imagined. In just a few days, you have forgotten everything? Are you sincere?"

"Someone is sincere, very sincere." Duan Da looked at Li Zixiong and said word by word, "Someone tells you a message, the news I just received today. The Holy Lord ordered that the white-haired thief must be solved within one month, otherwise he would not return to Dongdu. When the white-haired thief is solved, the Holy Lord will return to Dongdu."

Li Zixiong's face changed slightly, his eyes were cold, and he felt that the situation had changed. Duan Da's wording was obviously wrong. Duan Da was talking about "solving" the white-haired thief, rather than "sweeping" the white-haired thief. This is definitely not Duan Da's slip of the tongue, but a new change has occurred in the palace, and new progress has been made in how to deal with the white-haired thief. Is this because of Pei Shiju, or because of the domestic or foreign situation? Anomaly?

"One month?" Li Zixiong scoffed, "Are you talking nonsense or the Holy Lord's whimsical thoughts?"

"The Holy Lord gave someone a greater authorization, and someone did come with sincerity." Duan Da said seriously, "The question now is, do you have sincerity?"

"Good!" Li Zixiong smiled, "I listen carefully, what are your conditions?"

Duan Da looked serious and said sternly, "It's still the same condition. The white-haired thief must go out to fight, and must go out to fight within one month."

Li Zixiong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What did Wen Xigong (Pei Shiju) say to the Holy Lord? Why did the Holy Lord make such an incredible decision? Do you think it is possible? If you insist on this condition, we still have the need to negotiate? Is this your sincerity?"

"This is someone's sincerity." Duan Da replied, "I insisted on this condition and believed that we had the negotiating. I thought this matter was possible. The Holy Lord's decision was not incredible, but was based on Wenxi Gong's report. Wenxi Gong reported to the Holy Lord, but his revenge was not successful, but it did not fail. He had already coerced the white-haired thief to make a promise that the white-haired thief would trap Feihu in the next few months and would not take the initiative to further worsen the situation in Yanbei, thereby ensuring the safety of the towns and garrisons in Yanbei and even the northern border in the next few months." Speaking of this, Duan Da hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "It is said that Wenxi Gong issued a stern warning at the end of the report, and he refused to allow the white-haired thief to go out of the frontier, otherwise the consequences would be borne by one."

Li Zixiong secretly admired that Pei Shiju's strategy and exquisite methods were no one who could do it today. Pei Shiju's report, as expected, could be leaked in and out of the frontier, but it would never be leaked to recover Anzhou. Duan Da has been using a knife to kill people, while Pei Shiju used the trick to let Li Fengyun take the opportunity to go out of the frontier to fight. In this way, inside and outside the Great Wall, he knew that Li Fengyun had very few real goals, and thus completely eliminated the possibility of secret leakage.

From the Yuwen brothers in the Yulin incident and from the Husizheng in the Yang Xuangan mutiny, we can see that there are many people in the central high-level officials who are "informed with foreign countries", and there are more foreign spies lurking around the powerful. It is not difficult to speculate that if Pei Shiju's plan had been discussed by the Holy Lord and the core level of the central government, "it" would soon become well-known.

As for the "warning" issued by Pei Shiju at the end of the memorial, it was a masterpiece of killing people invisible "trick". It would be better if Pei Shiju didn't say this, but once he said this, it would be equivalent to setting up a "target". In order to attack Pei Shiju, the political enemies tried every means to drive the white-haired thieves out of the frontier, and tried their best to implement the murder plan with a knife.

Li Zixiong looked expressionless and glanced at Duan Da disda, "Doesn't this just mean that the white-haired thief cannot go out of the frontier, and are you talking nonsense?"

Duan Da shook his hand and said in a pun, "I just said that the Holy Lord gave someone a greater authorization, and someone came with sincerity."

Li Zixiong glanced at him, frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and then asked, "How sincere is it?"

"The greater sincerity you need, the greater sincerity you give you." Duan Da said without hesitation.

Li Zixiong was surprised, "You are serious?"

"Take it seriously." Duan Da's words were earnest and his expression was firm.

"I requested to be pardoned by the Holy Lord and forgive without guilt." Li Zixiong paused for a moment and added, "Not only did Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong, Yang Gongdao and others all want to be pardoned without guilt, can it be?"

"Yes." Duan Da agreed, but then changed his subject, "But there is a prerequisite that merits must be exchanged for unsincere pardon. Only in this way can it be reasonable and legal, and can it be blocked by everyone's mouth."

Li Zixiong smiled, already knowing Duan Da’s intention, “What a merit?”

"Turn away the white-haired thieves from the frontier within one month."

"What a plan to dissuade me." Li Zixiong couldn't help but tease, "I can promise you, but the premise is that there is no limit to the empty words. If you take the Holy Lord's edict, as long as the Holy Lord promises to exchange merits for unauthorized pardon, I promise to drive out the white-haired thieves out of the frontier within one month."

Duan Da was furious. Li Zixiong had no sincerity. This was purely a threat to force others. It was a humiliation of the Holy Lord. How could the Holy Lord make such a promise? The Holy Lord gave Duan Da greater authorization, which was already such a meaning. As for pardon, it was reasonable. After all, there were a large number of powerful children to "save", and Li Zixiong was also a founding veteran with outstanding achievements. The Holy Lord had to care about some old feelings to the point of view, and it was normal for him to be kind to the outside world.

Duan Da gritted his teeth, "I think, there is no need for us to continue negotiations. You want to die, you don't want to die, you want to live a few more years."

Seeing Duan Da’s eyes anxiously, Li Zixiong laughed and shook his hands and joked, "Don’t be angry with Xiangyuan, let’s continue talking and continue talking. I believe your promise, but I’m sorry, I’m not strong enough and I really don’t have the capital to rebel against the white-haired thief. I can tell you the truth that there is no trust between me and the white-haired thief, but it’s just for each other to use each other, so be careful, for fear of being plotted against the other party. In this situation, if someone attacks the white-haired thief, there will be only one result." Li Zixiong pointed to his head, "Not only did someone’s head fall, Han Shiye, Zhou Zhong and others probably also have different heads and are difficult to escape."

Duan Da laughed in anger and said sternly, "Since that's the case, we still need to continue negotiations?"

"Of course there is." Li Zixiong said solemnly, "Since Mr. Xiangyuan comes with such great sincerity, how can you let you go back in disappointment?"

Duan Da looked at Li Zixiong in confusion, his eyes showing a vigilant look. He was so treacherous that he should not fall into the trap.

"Where is your sincerity?" Duan Da asked.

"Before making a promise, you want to know something, and you must answer truthfully, don't deliberately deceive."

Duan Da reached out and made a gesture of "please say".

"What is the purpose of going out of the frontier? Although your conditions required us to go out of the frontier to fight, there was no one month deadline. Why did such a change happen in just a few days? The white-haired thief is not alone. He has many heroes under his command. Even if the white-haired thief agrees to go out of the frontier to fight, the heroes under his command may not agree. So it is absurd and unrealistic for you to set the deadline for this month. What is the reason?"

Duan Da said without hesitation, "This is the decree of the Holy Lord."

Li Zixiong looked at him coldly and was aggressive.

Duan Da hesitated for a moment, but he had no choice but to tell the truth, "There are people coming outside the Great Wall. The Turks demanded that the North and South Hui Yi be increased, and threatened that the Xi people and the Khitans had fought to endanger the safety of the frontier. The Holy Lord and the Central Thunder were furious and wanted to counterattack the Turks' coercion, so..."

Li Zixiong was overjoyed when he heard this. God helped me, so good news.

"Since that's the case, as long as someone goes out to fight, it's not necessary to drive out the white-haired thieves."

This sentence fell into Duan Da's ears, and he suddenly felt a thought. He couldn't help it and blurted out, "Are you going out of the gate?"
