East of Xiangyang City, Tianshui Tea House. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Meng Caiyi sat alone in a private room on the second floor of Tianshui Tea House. The warm sunlight shining through the open windows makes people feel lazy and seem to be unable to lift anything. Her jade hand was lightly relaxed, holding a celadon official kiln, slowly sipping the green tea in the cup, her eyes lingering on the bustling crowd on East Street outside the window. seems to be extremely focused, but in fact, it is allowed to be outside the window, but it does not enter her heart at all.

Since Gu Shan, who is in charge of intelligence, assassinated Wu Ruotang on the street by Long Zexiuxing, and then reported the news of Wu Ruotang's mysterious disappearance to her, her mind has been in a state of unease. Although she was extremely reluctant to admit it, in fact, she did clearly understand that she was really worried about Wu Ruotang's safety.

Could it be ...... Could it be that he really fell in love with that stinky boy? Suddenly, a wave of unexplained shyness and a faint sweetness welled up in my heart, and my cheeks were as hot as if they were burning. But behind this shyness and sweetness, fear and sorrow followed. Recently, every time I think of Wu Ruotang, the internal breath in my body is always surging out of control, like a wild horse getting out of a zombie, and it takes a lot of effort to reintroduce it to the right path, which seems to be the harbinger of 'scattered gong' that the master said. I remember that the master had always warned him before he was taught that those who practiced 'charming' must break their emotions and desires, otherwise they will be devoured by the love fire in their bodies, and they will be killed at the least...... Since I have chosen this path, I will never have a chance to turn back.

I am a person who is not qualified to talk about love! But why is it so hard to forget a person? Wu Xiaotang, Wu Xiaotang, you are really my fateful demon star......

Regarding Long Zexiuxing's unauthorized advocacy to assassinate Wu Ruotang on the street, Meng Caiyi was both angry and dissatisfied but helpless. In the final analysis, Long Ze Xiuxing is also thinking about himself, and the most important thing is that although Long Ze Xiuxing is nominally on the orders of his master to come to assist him, but in fact, doesn't Shizun have the intention of letting him spy on him? Whether he is a pure Central Plains person, the blood of the Central Plains is still flowing in his veins, and the master's move is not without caution! It's just that I do my best to do things for my master, and my master still doesn't fully trust me, which makes me feel frustrated and boring when I think about it.

A few knocks on the door came to my ears. Meng Caiyi withdrew her gaze from the window, put the celadon official kiln in her hand back on the table, and said softly: "Is it Sister Fengyun?" Please come in. ’

The door to the private room slid open silently, and two figures flashed in. But seeing the graceful posture and smile like a flower, it is the 'Imperial Wind and Cloud' Wind and Cloud Dance. Behind Fengyun Dance, there is a middle-aged man with long hair and a shawl, his figure is not very strong, the navy blue light is draped behind him casually, and he does not look very powerful, his face is as calm as water, and there is even a touch of a quiet smile on his lips, just like the approachable uncle next door, which makes people feel good at first sight. But it was this middle-aged man who seemed to be completely threatening that made Meng Caiyi's pupils shrink for a while. Because she also saw something - a blood-red iron spear head.

It turned out that the "stabbing tiger" was coming, and the slave family was disappointed, so please forgive me. Meng Caiyi stood up from his seat as a sign of respect.

Bian stopped but only smiled slightly, and said: "Bian is a general under the command of the young master, how dare you let Miss Meng welcome you from afar?" ’

'Young master? Meng Caiyi was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, and smiled at Fengyun Dance..' Sister Fengyun wants to take over the dynasty? That sister is going to say hello to you! ’

Fengyun Dance felt a slight bitterness in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Thank you, sister." It's just that the little sister is young and ignorant, and she doesn't know everything, so she has to learn more from her sister, and I hope that my sister can give me advice. ’

Meng Caiyi smiled slightly, took Fengyunwu's hand and sat down, and said: "My sister laughed." Caiyi is only a shallow learner, where can I teach you anything? As she spoke, she glanced at Bian and continued, "As long as there is the "Thorn Tiger" General Bian, my sister should be able to sit back and relax. ’

Meng Caiyi skillfully flattered Bian Zhu, but Bian Zhu's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't hear it, his footsteps moved lightly, and he stood behind Fengyun Wu with his hands down, standing still.

Meng Caiyi said curiously, "Won't General Bian sit down and have a cup of hot tea?" ’

Bian stopped and said indifferently..'Before the young master drove, Bian stopped and dared to sit? I'll just stand and serve. ’

Meng Caiyi was secretly frightened. Bian Zhu's hand is extremely clever, he himself is a powerful tiger general, with his fame, even if he sees the head of any faction in the martial arts, he can also make friends on an equal footing, and there is no need to stand aside. Now he is doing this, which is nothing more than to elevate Fengyunwu's status by lowering himself...... What a 'stinging tiger'! With such a loyal brother in Fengyun Zhanyi, even if the dynasty has such a tiger general, it is no wonder that it can rise rapidly in just over ten years and become one of the 'eight valves'. If you want to annex the Indulgent Dynasty, the first person you want to get rid of is not someone else, but this 'Thorn Tiger'.

Meng Caiyi smiled faintly, stretched out her hand to pour a cup of tea for Fengyunwu, and said, "This time my sister is coming to Xiangyang, I don't know what to teach?" ’

Fengyun Dance's slender jade fingers circled on the mouth of the porcelain cup, as if he was muttering how to open his mouth. After a while, Fang said: "Sister, do you still remember how you and I agreed in the Yueyang Mansion?" ’

Meng Caiyi blinked, and preemptively struck..'I was just about to ask my sister about this matter, why did my sister withdraw from the border of the Wen family in Guanzhong without honoring the agreement? ’

Fengyun Dance was speechless for a while. This time I came to Xiangyang, I wanted to denounce Meng Caiyi's Qin Duchu, betray the alliance of Yueyang, and form an alliance with the Wen family in Xiangyang without authorization. As soon as they met, they were bitten back by Meng Caiyi, accusing him of withdrawing the army without authorization, and he lost the initiative at that time.

Bian Zhu, who was on the side, saw this scene and sighed secretly in his heart. A change in the situation at the negotiating table is better than a march to war, and if you are not careful, you will lose the upper hand. Meng Caiyi's side should have been justified, as long as Fengyunwu took the lead and firmly grasped the other party's justification, Meng Caiyi would have to accept the conditions offered by his own side. Compared with Meng Caiyi, Fengyun Dance is too immature, and he is forced to lose the upper hand in one photo......

Fengyun Wu's eyes flashed with anger, and said: "We have received news that the eight hundred elites under my sister were destroyed on the banks of Tanxi overnight. Since my sister no longer has the ability to put pressure on the Wen family in Xiangyang, if the allied forces of the Imperial Dynasty and the Sword and Sword Shadow House are still assembled on the border of Guanzhong, once the two sides go to war, will our coalition forces immediately fall into a situation of being attacked on their backs? ’

Meng Caiyi smiled and said, "I don't know where my sister got the news?" I did have some of my unused henchmen who were attacked, but they were definitely not the so-called "elite". Especially to say that I am powerless to contain the Wen family in Xiangyang, that is even more nonsense. So far, have you noticed that Xiangyang has sent a soldier to the west to aid Guanzhong? You withdrew your troops without communicating with me, and I was put in extreme passivity. Of course, this matter must be blamed on my sister, who is young and inexperienced in handling many things. So I'm not going to pursue it either.

Meng Caiyi's upside down rake was very powerful, and Fengyun Dance was annoyed and angry, but he was speechless. Bian Shu coughed dryly and said, "The commander of the two coalition forces is my Bian, and the order to retreat is also given by my Bian, and it has nothing to do with the young master of my family." The first half of Bian Zhu's words are true, but the second half is to relieve Fengyunwu and take the responsibility on himself. When the two coalition armies were in Guanzhong, because Bian Zhu's military talent was far superior to that of others, everyone elected him as the commander of the coalition army. But when the news came that the Mengcaiyi army had broken the bank of Tanxi, all the officers and men of the coalition army were a little timid, afraid that Xiangyang would send troops to attack their own side in Guanzhong, and they asked to withdraw their troops. Only Bian Zhu disagreed, believing that even if Xiangyang sent troops to support Guanzhong, the coalition forces still had something to do. Because with the strength of the two coalition armies, it may be a little insufficient to start a war with Guanzhong and Xiangyang at the same time, but it is more than enough to shock one side. Therefore, when everyone thought that the combat target of the coalition army was Guanzhong, the coalition army could do the opposite, first create a false impression of retreat, and then turn back and counterattack Xiangyang. Since Xiangyang is going to support Guanzhong, its own strength will inevitably be greatly weakened, and this is the best time to use troops against Xiangyang. As long as you choose a good route and avoid Xiangyang to support the troops in Guanzhong, the coalition forces can capture Xiangyang with a thunderous force and join Meng Caiyi in Xiangyang. At that time, because Xiangyang was already under the control of the coalition forces, the Tianshan Sword Sect could take advantage of this to go north for reinforcements and jointly crusade against Guanzhong. With the support of the southern martial arts forces mastered by the Tianshan Sword Sect and Meng Caiyi, I believe that it will be easy to take down Guanzhong and will be just around the corner.

Although this tactic may seem a bit risky and rushed, it is actually very feasible and can be said to be a very clever tactic. How could Bian Zhu, who was nominally the commander of the coalition forces, but he was unable to make decisions on such a decision-making issue in many ways. In particular, the generals of the Sword and Sword Shadow Building thought that it was too risky, and actually joined forces to resist Bian Zhu's plan, but Bian Zhu had no choice but to give up.

Meng Caiyi's beautiful eyes turned, and she stayed on Bian Zhu's body for a moment, and said with a smile: "If the order to withdraw the army is given by Sister Fengyun, Long Zaitian and others, it can still be forgiven, after all, they are still young and inexperienced. But if it was General Bian's idea, it would be too cautious. Could it be that General Bian Lian is quite old, and he will no longer be as brave as he was in the past? ’

Bian Zhu did not defend himself, but said with a smile: "Whether it is right or wrong for our two coalition forces to withdraw from Guanzhong is a matter of opinion." However, in recent days, we have received news that Miss Meng has frequently courted Wen Shizhong, and it seems that she has the intention of forming an alliance with the Wen family. The young master of my family did not believe that Miss Meng would do such a treacherous thing, and came all the way to verify it! ’

Bian Zhu is really old and spicy, and he is well versed in the way of offense and defense. With a slight change of words, he hit Meng Caiyi's vital point. At best, the withdrawal of the coalition forces can only be accused of poor decision-making, and it is not at all the same as Meng Caiyi's reneging on the alliance and turning to the enemy.

'General Bian's news is really well-informed! Meng Caiyi chuckled, and her expression was not flustered. Since she dared to come to this Hongmen banquet, she naturally had already prepared..'I just don't know if General Bian has ever heard the story of Ming Xiu's plank road secretly crossing Chen Cang? ’

Bian stopped his heart and said, "What do you mean?" ’

Meng Caiyi said with a smile: "Your coalition army hastily withdrew from the border of Guanzhong, so that the slave family alone could not support itself in Xiangyang and fell into a passive situation. As a last resort, the slave family can only find another solution......

Hearing this opening sentence, Bian Zhu couldn't help but snort to show his dissatisfaction. He naturally knew that this was not the case, and the reason why Meng Caiyi was passive was completely because his elite was wiped out by others, and he was no longer able to suppress Xiangyang by force, which had nothing to do with the withdrawal of the coalition army. Now Meng Caiyi is lightly deducting the responsibility on his side, and the ultimate goal is nothing more than to gain the initiative in the future negotiations on the division of interests, so as to seek greater benefits. This woman is so good!

Meng Caiyi didn't hear Bian Zhu's muffled snort, and continued: "The slave family thought, since you can't take it, why not outwit? Then there was an alliance with Wen Shizhong. The alliance with it is the Ming Xiu plank road; Injecting capital into the Yangtze River water transport system, gradually encroaching, and finally completely controlling the entire Yangtze River water transport, replacing Wen Shizhong is my plan to secretly cross Chen Cang! ’

Meng Caiyi's plan to secretly cross Chen Cang was almost the same as what Yang Si had imagined. If Wen Shizhong was here, he would definitely admire Yang Si's intelligence.

Bian was silent after listening. In my heart, I admired Meng Caiyi's clever methods, but thinking from my own standpoint, it was extremely unfavorable. He pondered for a long time and said, "Miss Meng really has a good plan, with the power of one person, the Yangtze River water transportation will be at your fingertips." It's just that it doesn't sound like I'm indulging in anything about the dynasty anymore, and we just have to sit back and enjoy the results, I don't know if I'm right? ’

Meng Caiyi smiled indifferently and said, "General Bian can rest assured. Since we are allies, how can the slave family not give it to you if they have benefits? ’

The more Meng Caiyi said it, the more Bian Zhu felt bad. Meng Caiyi is not a good man and a woman, and there is nothing in this world that does not work hard......

Bian stopped sneering and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Meng." I just don't know what benefits Miss Meng is going to give us the imperial situation? ’

Meng Caiyi chuckled, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and said leisurely: "Although you have not contributed much in this matter, I, Meng Caiyi, am not the kind of fool who says nothing. How did we agree in Yueyang Mansion at the beginning, we acted according to the agreement. ’

Bian stopped to speak, but listened to Fengyun Wu, who had been unable to speak, and said happily..'Really? Thank you sister! I didn't expect my sister to be so trustworthy, and my sister has always blamed you. I'm so sorry......

"I'll go!" Bian stopped and shouted badly. The naïve Tuoba Dance was fooled and didn't know it, and thought that Meng Caiyi was a good person. It's just that Tuoba Dance is nominally the representative of the indulgent mountain city, and as soon as she speaks like this, she agrees to the conditions offered by Meng Caiyi, and it is too late to remedy it at this time.
