Chapter 668 Fire Attack!
"Prime Minister, please feel free to speak!"
"As long as we can get rid of Xu Lao Er, then I will find someone to shoulder all the blame and will never implicate the Prime Minister!"
As a superior, you must be ruthless when necessary.
After all, he has a lot of subordinates, so finding someone to take the blame is not a difficult task.
"Fire attack!"
Guo Zhun took a deep breath and told his own method.
"As far as I know, in half a month, a southeast wind will blow in Jiannan Prefecture for a long time."
"When the southeast wind blows, if we send people to set fire, the fire will quickly spread throughout the entire Shicheng County."
"Even if Xu Lao Er's martial arts skills are incredible, he can never defy the heavens!"
"Xu Lao San set fire to a hundred miles of land in Xiangyi Prefecture, burning away the locust plague that destroyed Qiping Prefecture."
"Your Majesty, I came up with this method to deal with Xu Lao Er from Xu Lao San's method."
"However, once the fire starts and spreads, I'm afraid that only one in ten people in the entire Shicheng County will survive. Even the surrounding counties are likely to be affected by the fire."
"Once the fire starts, I'm not sure how far it will burn!"
Having said this, Guo Zhun stopped.
It is easy to set a fire, but it is extremely difficult to put it out.
The reason why Guo Zhun dared to make such a suggestion was that it was already autumn and winter, and after the southeast wind in Jiannan Prefecture, there would often be rainy days lasting for more than a month.
But even though he knew it might rain, Guo Zhun still felt uneasy. After all, it had rained in previous years, but who knew if it would rain this year?
If there is no rain this year, or if the rain is not enough, no one can predict what the consequences of this arson will be.
"I need to consider this matter!"
Du Qingruo was a cruel person, but he was still shocked when he heard Guo Zhun's method of killing Xu Laoer.
It is not known whether this method can destroy Xu Lao Er, but once this method is implemented, the popularity of Daoguo in Jiannan Prefecture will probably plummet.
Even if she could find someone to take the blame later, the harm caused by this incident was too far-reaching and too terrifying. Could it really be resolved by just a few people taking the blame?
Therefore, even though Du Qingruo was mentally prepared for Guo Zhun's method, she was still very dizzy at this moment.
"Your Highness, those who achieve great things do not dwell on trivial matters!"
"Xu Lao Er can't stay!"
Guo Zhun was still very hesitant before making the suggestion, but when he saw Du Qingruo's hesitation, he became a little anxious.
Du Qingruo glanced at Guo Zhun and frowned slightly.
At this moment, Du Qingruo sensitively realized that Guo Zhun was not as loyal to her as she thought.
Before, Guo Zhun acted hesitant, but now he acts very eager, which is enough to show that this person is hypocritical and says one thing and means another.
Guo Zhun naturally noticed Du Qingruo's unhappy expression.
Guo Zhun's expression froze slightly when he realized this, and he quickly said, "Your Highness, I am incompetent and willing to take all the blame. I only ask Your Highness to protect my family after this incident!"
As an old silver coin who played tricks, Guo Zhun realized that he had been a little impatient before, and hurriedly expressed his position and loyalty, using his life to prove it.
Du Qingruo had only a slight suspicion of Guo Zhun's loyalty just now, but after Guo Zhun's statement, she became more certain of this fact.
Guo Zhun is not a trustworthy person.
Perhaps, fire attack is indeed a good idea.
However, Guo Zhun was definitely not a minister she could trust to control.
The harm of fire attack is too great. By then, in order to quell public grievances, she, the female leader of the Taoist country, may become the target of public criticism.
After all, such serious harm cannot be taken by just anyone.
"You are too kind, Prime Minister!"
Realizing that Guo Zhun was truly unreliable, Du Qingruo did not directly express any dissatisfaction, but responded calmly.
"Many matters concerning the Dao Kingdom still require the Prime Minister's planning."
"Let's think about how to get rid of Xu Lao Er. There might be other better ways!"
"Your Highness is right. I was too hasty!"
After hearing what Du Qingruo said, Guo Zhun did not insist any more.
He is a smart man, but today he made two mistakes in a row.
First, he should have hidden his inner anxiety; second, he should not have used his life to express his opinion. He has never been a person who would sacrifice his life for anyone or for anything.
"Prime Minister, please go back first!"
Du Qingruo waved her hand gently and sent Guo Zhun away.
After Guo Zhun left, Du Qingruo immediately called his confidants in and asked them to keep a close eye on Guo Zhun's house to see who Guo Zhun was in contact with.
Since Guo Zhun was plotting against her, it couldn't be just his idea.
Who knows who is hiding behind this matter.
It is even possible that behind Guo Zhun lies the old fox, the Lord of Disaster.
"Keep a close eye on any movement in Guo Zhun's house, even if it's from his servants. Don't let them go."
"I understand!"
"Go!"
After waving his hand to send his trusted subordinate away, Du Qingruo put Guo Zhun's abnormality aside and focused on thinking about the fire attack method proposed by Guo Zhun.
Fire attack is indeed a good method.
However, if Xu Laoer wanted to run away, the fire attack would probably be useless.
Therefore, even if they had to use a fire attack, they had to at least lure Xu Laoer out first and lead him to a special terrain so that he had no way to escape.
Otherwise, how could a master like Xu Laoer be killed?
"How can we lure Xu Lao Er out?"
Du Qingruo frowned.
"No, no!"
“It shouldn’t be like this!”
"For a fire attack, it's not necessary to lure out Xu Lao Er."
"Once the fire starts, Xu Lao Er won't be able to escape. After all, he also wants to win the hearts and minds of the people."
"Fire attack, what a good idea!"
After thinking about the process of fire attack in his mind, Du Qingruo found that when the gap in combat power was too large, this method of fire attack was really the most effective way he could think of to deal with Xu Laoer.
The only annoying thing is that if you want to use fire attack, someone has to take the blame.
And the person who takes the blame must be quite important.
Guo Zhun!
The Prime Minister of the Human Kingdom!
In this human world of disaster, Guo Zhun is the most important person besides her, the female leader of the Taoist country.
Letting him take the blame seems to be the best choice.
Of course, Guo Zhun alone is not enough to quell public anger.
It’s just right to find Guo Zhun’s accomplices. No matter what they are planning, let them take the blame and take them away in one go.
Du Qingruo has never been a kind-hearted person.
How could she possibly continue to keep Guo Zhun when she was sure that his loyalty to her was fake?
The struggle for power is always bloody. Either you die or I die!
