Chapter 442 The civet cat changes to the prince!
Shen Wuxiang's words were one part joking, three parts threatening, and six parts sincere.

He really wanted to kill Lu Yu.

I even calculated in my mind the losses and gains of doing so.

He is the core figure among the remnants of the Tang family and the mainstay of the entire team.

Now that Lu Yu is dead, will that place collapse?
Tang Fei alone is just a rootless duckweed, what waves can he cause?
Thinking of this, the look he gave Lu Yu became even more sinister.

Lu Yu was not panicked at all. He drank hot tea, ate dried fruits, and kept that unique, slightly sarcastic smile on his face.

咕噜 咕噜
He drank the tea in the cup in one breath, then looked at Shen Wuxiang with great satisfaction and said, "Nineteen years ago, I killed myself."

"You can't kill me now."

Shen Wuxiang was puzzled. Nineteen years ago
Is he talking about the case of destroying Tang?
Killing yourself. What does this mean?
"Besides, you want a complete and powerful empire. It is not in your interest to take over power peacefully and calmly."

"Otherwise, why bother negotiating with us? Why not just send your army to destroy us all?"

The old man knew very well that Shen Wuxiang was willing to negotiate because he did not want to undermine the country's strength and the "stability" of the regime.

At least it looks stable.

He wanted to gain control of the country quietly.

It would be best if the outside world didn’t know that this country has changed its owner.

The reason why he did this was because
Subconsciously, he already felt that he was the master of this country.

Zhong Tianque?
Just a puppet.

"Perhaps, seeing you, I changed my mind again?" Shen Wuxiang remained calm, still weighing the pros and cons in his mind: "I underestimated your importance, and also ignored my fear of you in my heart"

"I am just an old man, what can I have that would be worthy of the military minister's fear?"

Shen Wuxiang shook his head and said, "After decades away from home, he is still able to plan and make plans, and stir up the situation in Kyoto."

"The grass snake is gray and the veins are hidden a thousand miles away. Hiding in the dark, it is still possible to force the palace to seize power."

"The most important thing is that you guys actually managed to do it."

Shen Wuxiang looked at Lu Yu thoughtfully, and was amazed in his heart.

"The Phoenix was in danger in the old land. Was it your Lu family who bribed people to do this? The escape pod that the Phoenix was riding in happened to fall under your noses. Only your Lu family's technical level could do this."

"If I remember correctly, the escape pod is a military product produced by your Lu family factory."

"At that time, the people of Phoenix City were in a panic, speculating and spreading all kinds of rumors, and the first to bear the brunt were our Shen family."

"As a result, your Lu family quietly made a big deal in Luban Mountain and used this as an opportunity to send the Tang bandit to the Zhong royal family."

"You have entered the game with your own body, and used the power of the Overwatch Council as a knife to either cut off branches and leaves or win over people's hearts. You have taken full advantage of this."

Lu Yu waved his hand and said, "It's just a trivial trick. It's not worth mentioning. When we were plotting against the Zhong royal family, weren't they also plotting against us?"

"Why did they let Tang Fei into the Supervisory Council? Why did that old man Yan Wenli ignore what he did? Isn't it just to lure all of us old guys out through him so that we can catch us all in one fell swoop?"

"If they hadn't closed in so suddenly, we wouldn't have had to respond hastily. This job was done too roughly, leaving countless troubles behind."

According to the idea of ​​Tang Fei and the old man, it would be better to delay for a while.

When they have greater bargaining chips and more autonomy, they will let Zhong Tianyi step forward to force the palace.

Perhaps Zhong Daolong felt that the time had come, or perhaps he had sensed the danger, and had Yan Wenli and Shen close the net in advance.
Therefore, in order to protect themselves, Tang Fei and the old man had to expose their hidden powers.

Chen Fenglei, Yan Jingnian, Wuyou Palace.
Including the Qin family.

At that time, Tang Fei took Qin Jianyi away in front of countless people at the shore of Luoxia Lake. Everyone thought that the two had become mortal enemies.

Little did they know that the two had a frank talk in the Supervisory Commission and reached a preliminary intention for cooperation.

Later, Lu Yu went to Qin's house in person and finalized the details of the cooperation.

Why would the Qin family cooperate with the weaker Lu family?
This is because they know very well in their hearts that if the Shen family comes to power, the first to suffer will be their Qin family.

Like the Shen family, the Qin family rose to prominence through military success, and its influence in the military is second only to the Shen and Zhong royal families.

Shen knew clearly how he got to the top, so how could he allow Qin to become another "accident"?
Therefore, the Qin family will definitely encounter a cruel and bloody purge.

They had already been preparing for this in the early stages. The leader of the Yuhuo Army, Tang Shengyan, had to step down due to his age. Qin Jianyi's father, Qin Youru, sought to take a step forward and gain the position of leader of the Yuhuo Army.

Unfortunately, the Military Commission rejected him in the name of rejuvenation of the generals. Not only did they reject Qin Youru, but they also rejected Shen Fangweng, a member of the Shen family who had a higher voice.

Even Shen Fangweng doesn’t fight for it, so what is there for you to fight for?

In this way, the Qin family can only suffer this loss in silence.

Shen Wuxiang also manipulated the Military Commission and approved the appointment of Shi Wushuang, a young general who was close to them.

This time, the historians, who were also one of the nine major families, were also drawn into their camp.

Shen Wuxiang maneuvered and manipulated various means, either pulling or attacking, to continuously consolidate the Shen family's influence in the military.

In addition, there is another important reason why Qin chose to cooperate with Lu:

Lu had the equipment and weapons they desperately needed.

Descendants of the ancestor of machinery, God knows how many treasures are hidden in Luban Mountain.

The Qin family provides the men and the Lu family provides the weapons. Is there a more perfect combination than this?
Moreover, even if the Lu family came to power, they would not be able to purge the Qin family.
What's more, they may not necessarily be able to grasp absolute power.

Lu Yu glanced at Shen Wuxiang and said, "We fought back and forth, but you got the big advantage."

It is not difficult to imagine that when Zhong Daolong and Yan Wenli wanted to use the Tang bandits as a guide to catch the "remnants of the Tang family" in one fell swoop, they must have communicated with the Shen family or reached some kind of agreement.

Unexpectedly, when they sent the young master Ye Shenyi to ambush the old man, he was killed by Xiaopang's explosion.

They sent Shen Xinglan to intercept the Tang bandits, but were defeated again when the Tang bandits revealed their strength.

Even the grandmaster Zhong Daoling from the royal family was dispatched, but Xuanyuan Mingjing also took action and stood on the side of the Tang bandits without hesitation.

Yan Wenli led people to control Shang Xiulin and wanted to control the voice of the academic school
Controlled by his own goddaughter.

The worst thing was that the Phoenix Palace's chief steward Chen Fenglei rebelled, which exposed Zhong Daolong directly to the enemy and handed over the dominance of the entire Phoenix Palace.
If Chen Fenglei hadn't stabbed him in the back, even if Bandit Tang had won, the old man would have run away and Yan Wenli would have been caught.

As long as Zhong Daolong himself is safe and sound, he will still be the ruler of this vast empire.

He was still able to manipulate power and command thousands of troops and various forces to protect and save the country.
He holds countless chips in his hands, and he has ten thousand ways to turn the tables.

Chen Fenglei was the man who dealt him the fatal blow.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

If you make a mistake at every step, you will lose everything.

"The one who knows how to judge the situation is a true hero." Shen Wuxiang said arrogantly, "It's a pity that you didn't understand this truth back then."

"Yes." The old man said with a sad expression, "If we had understood this truth back then, you wouldn't have any business."

"."

"Besides, we can't understand why I tried to persuade him, but unfortunately, he refused."

"A real man has things he does and things he doesn't do. I despise him, but I also admire him."

"Do you regret it now?"

"My attitude is not important." The old man shook his head and sighed, saying: "I am not an ambitious person. My thoughts have always been simple. A wife, children and a warm bed."

"Later, I lost my wife, my children, and finally my warm bed, so I had to step up and do something."

"Where are your children?" Shen Wuxiang asked.

"He died of illness." The old man said expressionlessly.

"If Tang Li's son is alive, whose child was killed in the fire?"

"I just came here randomly."

"That's impossible." Shen Wuxiang shook his head and said, "At that time, Tang Li's family was imprisoned in the beehive inside the Phoenix Palace. Ordinary people would never have the chance to see them."

"Your wife and Queen Yu Si Ning are good friends. So, you guys played a trick of replacing the prince with a cat?"

"Does Yu Si Ning know? She definitely knows. Without the Queen's cooperation, you would not be able to complete the replacement."

"So." Shen Wuxiang was shocked, with a burning flame in his eyes: "Yu Si Ning didn't die of illness?"

"."
