Gu Shenwei decided to prioritize the removal of Meng's threat, knowing very well that he would attract a lot of opposition, and he was ready to give the most reasonable explanation to all opponents.

But he didn't need to explain to the Dutch girl, she seemed to be willing to be the shadow behind the dragon king, and the longer they got along, the more indifferent and calm they became, and whatever she thought in her heart would not be revealed.

It is conceivable that the most vehemently opposed opinion was put forward by the military advisor Fang Wen, "This ...... Dragon King, let's say okay, why did you change your mind so quickly, please allow me to tell the truth, don't talk about hegemony now, you don't even have the qualifications to fight for hegemony, bear with it, you have to endure it for several years. Trouble, don't take the initiative to provoke. ”

"This plan has been in the works for a long time, it is an agreement between me and the prince of Shule Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the details before the plan was implemented. Gu Shenwei gave an unexpected answer.

Fang Wen hoped that he could be calmer, but there was still an expression of indignation and confusion on his face, he didn't understand, what tricks the Dragon King was doing, how could he get involved with the prince of Shule Kingdom.

Just in the last few days of the pretending Dragon King incident, the Shule Kingdom sent an envoy to Biyu City, and the prince hid in it, brought his sister Tie Linglong, and wanted to talk to the Dragon King.

The crown prince is a very realistic person, he doesn't care about the "betrayal" immediately after the big snow mountain, at least he doesn't show that he cares, "The Western Regions are chaotic, chaos is about to start, Shule Kingdom doesn't want to set up enemies, just wants to win friends." ”

That same night, the crown prince proposed that the dragon king should occupy Biyu Castle in the future, but cede the mountain pass to the west to the Shule kingdom.

There is a mountain pass in the east and west of Biyu City, which is the most important passage from the north to the Western Regions, and for many years, it has been a problem for Shule's henchmen, especially the mountain pass in the west, which is close to the border of Shule country.

Obtaining the western mountain pass is the core demand of the Shule State, but it is also a demand that cannot be said explicitly, and the North Court, and even the Central Plains, will not easily allow the Shule State to take the initiative to occupy this natural danger.

"I see. Fang Wen suddenly realized, and at the same time his face was a little red, he always thought that it was by relying on his three-inch incorruptible tongue that he borrowed the road from Daxue Mountain, but he didn't expect that Shule Country had ulterior motives, it was under the pretext of supervising the swordsmen of Daxue Mountain, Shule Country already had an army of thousands of people stationed not far from the western mountain pass.

This army was nominally to prevent the war from spreading to the territory of Shule, but in fact it was eyeing a strategic place.

Fang Wen suddenly doubted his ability, "King Shule and the crown prince are really insidious, I'm afraid those ministers are still in the dark." ”

"The country has no selfish feelings. Gu Shenwei didn't think that Shule Guo's behavior was excessive, on the contrary, it made him more confident in fighting for hegemony in the Western Regions, and at the same time, he didn't feel that there was a problem with the ability of the military advisor, "If it weren't for the eloquence of the military advisor, the Shule State would not have been able to send a large army to hide people's eyes and ears." ”

Fang Wen is heart is much more balanced, and smiled shyly, "Think about it carefully, in fact, it should be like this, if the Shule Kingdom can become the number one country in the Western Regions, it must have something extraordinary...... Alas, I didn't expect that I would consider myself a strategist and inadvertently make wedding dresses for others. ”

Then he remembered that the main line of this topic was to solve the Meng clan, "What about the Meng clan, what kind of hatred does the Shule country have with him?"

Giving priority to solving the Meng clan was actually Gu Shenwei's idea, he had long felt that the capital turnover was not smooth, and in order to avoid the Meng clan's surveillance, he had to spend a higher price, which had become the fatal weakness of the Great Snow Mountain.

But when he spoke, he said something else, "Everyone knows that the relationship between Jinpeng Fort and the Meng clan is intertwined, and if the Shule Kingdom wants to seize the western mountain pass, it must be prepared to deal with the threat of the Meng clan cutting off trade routes. ”

"Then we really want to get serious with the Meng family?" Fang Wen was a little stunned, he always couldn't help but have some admiration for the rich man, especially the number one rich man in the Western Regions.

Gu Shenwei nodded, "Actually, the war has already begun, but the news has not yet reached Biyu City. ”

The "news" that the dragon king had spoken of spread through the streets at noon the next day, and the crowd went around like crazy to find out every detail.

Several of Meng's money houses and businesses in Shule were attacked by a group of unknown elements at the same time, and the people were killed, the houses were burned, and most of the gold and silver were robbed, so that it was impossible to redeem the silver bills for a long time.

Before everyone could figure out the cause and effect of this incident, in the evening, more news came.

It was not only the Meng's money houses and businesses in Shule that were attacked, but also the entire Western Regions, from east to west, from south to north, more than 20 countries, a total of 50 or 60 Meng's industries, accounting for nearly one-third of the total, and successively turned into ashes, causing countless losses.

It is said that Meng Yuzun, the patriarch of the Meng family, was furious when he heard the news, and immediately pointed the suspect at the Dragon King, "I want him to die without a place to be buried!"

But there is no evidence linking these attacks to the Dragon King and the Great Snow Mountain, and the attackers had obvious characteristics of bandits, ranging from seven or eight to no more than twenty or thirty, and the main purpose was to rob gold and silver.

But so many attacks happened one after the other as if they had been discussed, and then spread to Biyu City on the same day, this was not a plan that the bandits could make.

Fang Wen was also incomprehensible about this, "Dragon King, how did you find these people?"

"Tonengya. Gu Shenwei gave a brief explanation, "As soon as the temporary truce was reached, he sent swordsmen in batches to enter the Shule country first, accept the assignment of the prince, and then go to various places to start at the appointed time. ”

Fang Wen shook his head with a wry smile, feeling that he had been snubbed again, but the Dragon King had his intentions, no matter what, negotiation and negotiation were the most important tasks of the military advisor, and he had no spare energy to participate in planning more actions.

Meng Yuzun's anger would not be easily extinguished, all along, he and Madam Meng had been thinking about how to get the secret of divine power from the Dragon King, and now, the desire for revenge exceeded all else.

That night, the Dragon King's Mansion was raided three times.

The first group were money-driven swordsmen and robbers, most of whom had participated in the last robbery of the Dragon King's Mansion, and the fake silver had tormented them, making them ridiculed in taverns, brothels, and casinos.

It was these people, after receiving a sum of gold and silver of unknown origin, that they raided the Dragon King's Mansion again, with more people and more ambitious goals, they not only wanted money, but also human lives.

But with the encounter of the Mustang Gang in front, the attack of this group appeared to be half-hearted, and the shouting was earth-shattering, once they collided with the fierce counterattack of the guards of the Dragon King's Mansion, they immediately ran in all directions, hiding in the nearby streets and alleys to demonstrate for half a time, and then secretly dispersed.

Meng Yuzun made a mistake, he shouldn't have given the money in advance.

The second round of raids was much more formal, so the end was even more miserable.

Due to the restrictions of the armistice, the regular killers of Jinpeng Fort could not blatantly attack the Dragon King, so Meng Yuzun hired a group of retired killers, although these killers were no longer in their peak state, but their killing methods were still skilled, far beyond the ability of ordinary swordsmen.

The number of people is not very large, about seventy, divided into three groups, taking turns to lure the Dragon King's Mansion guards out of battle, and then others sneak attack from the flank.

It's a tough battle, with both the attackers and defenders using almost the same tactics: inducement and ambush.

Meng Yuzun made another mistake, his desire for revenge was too strong, and he rushed to attack without waiting for the enemy's defenses to relax, so that the Dragon King's Mansion could meet the battle with the highest morale and the best plan.

Even so, the casualties of the Dragon King's Mansion guards were heavy, and it was not until the Dutch Girl led the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall to appear at the last moment that the tide of the battle was turned in one fell swoop.

Of the more than 70 retired killers, less than 10 will still enjoy the rest of their lives.

Before the battlefield was cleared, the third round of raids began.

Meng Yuzun was desperate to kill the Dragon King, and even sent a female killer of the Heavenly Machine Society who had been hiding.

It turned out to be the worst of all his mistakes that night.

The Tianji Society adopts strict training methods, there is only one problem, in order to keep it secret, the members of the society rarely participate in real assassination operations, and they are extremely lacking in actual combat experience, whether it is Mrs. Meng, who lives in the stone castle and does not know martial arts, or Meng Yuzun, who secretly practices martial arts and rarely shows them, they did not expect how fatal this defect is.

The corpses and rolling heads everywhere disrupted the plans of the female killers of the Heavenly Machine Society from the very beginning, leaving them with no place to stand, and the guards of the Dragon King's Mansion with their teeth and claws, as well as the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall who killed people like mowing grass, all frightened them.

The battle ended quickly, and the Heavenly Machine Society, which Meng Yuzun and Madame Meng had spent a lot of money and effort to create, proved to be far from the level of a real killer.

When the morning came, the experienced residents of Biyu City regarded the Dragon King and the Great Snow Mountain as a powerful force in their hearts from this day, "Except for the stone castle, no one is the opponent of the Dragon King, and Lao Meng is out of sight this time." ”

No one knew Meng Yuzun's mood, for him, it was an extremely humiliating defeat, but he still had to force a smile and complete the most important business of the day.

Meng Mingshi and Shangguan Ru's marriage will be held before noon as scheduled.

Meng Yuzun now needs the support of King Dubu more than ever, and this marriage means a lot to him.

This is also the consequence that the military advisor Fang Wen is most worried about, "We are pushing the Meng clan towards Jinpeng Castle, hey." He sighed and shook his head, but to his relief, the dragon king really didn't seem to have any intention of interfering in the wedding, and his expression was calm, as if he had accepted the matter.

Fang Wen didn't care about offending the Meng family, but he had a strict principle: the strategist can spend all his time drinking, the lord must be pure-hearted and have few desires, and acting for any woman will have a bad impact.

The residents of Biyu City swayed between the Dragon King's killing ring and the grand wedding, and in the end, most of them still found the wedding more attractive, and flocked to the main streets of Beicheng to watch the most sensational wedding in many years.

The Meng family's welcoming procession was several miles long, and the leading wind and percussion band had already walked to the center of Beicheng, and the follow-up team had not yet completely come out of Meng's mansion.

The listless Meng Mingshi was riding on a horse, with Jinpeng killers as escorts in front and behind, and there was no joy of being a groom on his face, and he was even more indifferent to the cheers of the onlookers.
