In the Qin Mansion in Jinling City, only the study room had a light on.

The Qin Clan, once one of the six great clans in Jinling, has lost its glory.

That vermilion door hasn't even been opened for a long time.

But since Qin Huizhi was released at the end of last year, the door has been opened again, but the lights in the garden are no longer as bright as before.

Qin Huizhi seemed to have stayed in the dark prison for too long. He hated the bright lights. He liked to drink tea, read books and think about things alone in the dim light.

He is drinking alone today.

Yan Beixi's retirement was approved by His Majesty. Having just been released from prison, he dramatically ascended to the position of Prime Minister of the Yu Dynasty, ending the rumor that the Yan family had three Prime Ministers.

This was an aspect he had earned, so he felt at peace with it and it was worth celebrating.

If no one comes to congratulate you, then celebrate by yourself.

A bottle of Xishan Tianchun and a plate of peanuts, happiness is that simple.

Qin Huizhi grinned.

"Fu Xiaoguan, you deserve to die!"

This game within a game and this plan within a plan were all written by Qin Huizhi himself. This stroke was extremely brilliant, simply like a stroke of genius... He poured another glass of wine and took a sip carefully. What a good wine!

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in the eleventh year of the Xuanli reign, Emperor Xuan summoned him to the palace, and the two of them chatted for a whole night in the imperial study.

It was a brilliant conversation, like a beautiful play, hazy at first, like the fog in Jinling in late autumn, then gradually brightening, the thick mist dissipating to reveal the elegant waters of the Qinhuai River. Then, they were frank with each other and reached a consensus—Fu Xiaoguan must die!

It’s not easy to kill Fu Xiaoguan.

Emperor Xuan took great pains to mobilize the spies of Xiyu Tower before he could find out where Fu Xiaoguan was. This is not true, as in fact Xiyu Tower did not know who Fu Xiaoguan was.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, three carriages left Ding'an Earl's Mansion, two of which went straight north, while the other went to the Taoist temple.

The one who went to the Taoist temple was Ning Siyan, and the one who went to the north was Fu Xiaoguan.

But Qin Huizhi obviously felt that this was not normal. According to Fu Xiaoguan's plan, he clearly knew that his own safety was extremely important, so he would definitely not let others catch his whereabouts easily.

So... whether real or fake, true or false, just kill them all!

If you want to kill Fu Xiaoguan, you have to let Fu Xiaoguan join the game.

This comes at a price! A terrible price!

After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Xuan came to the conclusion that Qin Huizhi wanted: the danger of Fu Xiaoguan staying alive was far greater than that of the barbarians going south!

So what if the barbarians go south?

If the western border troops are transferred there, they can stop the barbarians north of the Yangtze River. Since the Wu Dynasty has already invaded the Yi Kingdom, the Yi Kingdom certainly does not have the energy to invade Wofeng Road. Then the eastern border troops can simply transfer 200,000 troops!

If the western and eastern border armies fight together north of the Yangtze River, the 400,000-strong Tiandao Army of the barbarians will surely be wiped out.

And if Fu Xiaoguan were alive...how could the Yu Dynasty resist a powerful Wu Dynasty!

Yanshan Pass can be lost.

Xinzhou City can also be abandoned.

Fu Xiaoguan is indeed powerful in both military and literary skills, and the magic sword army he commands is indeed unparalleled in the world, but he is a human being, not a god. As a human being, he must have weaknesses!

Fu Xiaoguan has a huge weakness: he loves the people!

He couldn't bear to let the people and soldiers of the northern border army die like that.

So the first strategy is to let the barbarians knock on the gate, using red cannons!

Fu Xiaoguan saw that Yanshan Pass was about to be breached, and he had to save it, and then he would definitely die.

If he doesn't save them, then he should abandon Yanshan Pass and let the barbarians enter. Let the barbarians attack Xinzhou again. Xinzhou has nearly a million people. I, Fu Xiaoguan, should save them!

In this second round, the situation is already in Fu Xiaoguan's hands. General Peng leads the main force to the North Peak of Pingling and then enters the Desolate Kingdom. The Emperor of the Desolate Kingdom, Tuoba Feng, will cooperate with General Peng to eliminate the Divine Sword Army.

If Fu Xiaoguan was in the army, he would surely die.

If the person in the army is not Fu Xiaoguan, then he must still be watching in secret.

This requires luring the snake out of its hole.

Is this snake hiding in the First Army of the Divine Sword, or is he quietly watching near Xinzhou City?

Qin Huizhi poured another glass of wine, picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully.

The face that seemed a little blurry under the dim light revealed a hint of hypocrisy - what a pity, Fu Xiaoguan is actually a very remarkable person!

If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being the prince of the Wu Dynasty.

…

…

This place is called Songjian.

The bright moon shines on the pine stream.

On its left side is a densely forested hill called Songgang.

On a moonlit night, the pine hills of Short Pine Hill.

Just at the moment when the continuous explosions stopped!

Fu Xiaoguan suddenly turned around and looked at the dark pine hill. Just above the pine hill, a gunshot rang out. He suddenly shouted, "Retreat!"

Su Mo was shocked.

The sound of gunfire has already been heard in Songjian.

He flew down quickly, channeling his energy into his dantian, and blew the whistle to retreat.

In a hurry, the Excalibur Independent Division had just completed a round of shooting when they received the signal to retreat. Without any hesitation, they left quickly.

Tuoba Xuefeng was completely bewildered——

What the hell is going on?

Where did this army come from?

One guy knocked down thousands of my men. How could he run away when I had just drawn my sword?

Su Mo led his troops and followed Fu Xiaoguan closely. He didn't understand why, but Fu Xiaoguan didn't explain. The direction he was heading was actually the hundreds of thousands of Xinzhou people in front.

What is this for?

Wouldn't that bring the enemy right in front of the people?

What they didn't know was that right on Songgang Hill, 60,000 troops from the northern border were ambushed!

These 60,000 troops came from Yanshan Pass and were the rebels who personally opened the gate - they were the troops under the cavalry captain Wu Chang and the infantry captain Zheng Tietou!

Yanshan Pass was broken and the gate was opened by two captains of the northern border army. Fu Xiaoguan had already received this news, but he didn't know that the two armies had actually left Yanshan Pass and hid here.

This is a game within a game!

Peng Chengwu knew that he had come to the northern battlefield, but Peng Chengwu didn't know where he was. However, Peng Chengwu believed that Fu Xiaoguan must be watching the battle of Xinzhou and would not stand by and watch him die.

He set up this trap!

He was willing to sacrifice Yanshan Pass and Xinzhou City just to kill Fu Xiaoguan!

This was Fu Xiaoguan's guess at the moment; he didn't know the truth yet.

Wu Chang and Zheng Tietou, who were standing on Songgang, were looking at a man beside them. His name was Huo Jing.

He dropped the binoculars in his hand, leisurely loaded a bullet, and spat, "I am ashamed to be associated with you!"

"Bang……!"

Another gunshot was heard, and Huo Jing committed suicide in Songgang.
