I am a fairy in the world of mortals

Chapter 230 Whose head should I offer?

Li Lang instinctively felt that there might be some secret behind the whole incident that he didn't know about.

However, compared to being completely passive last time, Li Lang was obviously more proactive this time.

"Your Majesty! I can be considered one of your own!"

"Is there something you can't tell me?"

"Although one more person increases the risk of exposure, there is also one more person to help shoulder the responsibility." Li Lang said to the Queen.

At this time, Gu Zhaozhao also appeared and spoke out to help and support: "Yes! Ruyi!"

"Although this kid is a bit messy, he is still quite smart sometimes."

"You might as well tell him...hehe! Tell me too! What riddles are you playing?"

The Queen seemed to sigh.

Li Lang felt the angle of view shaking, as if the queen was sitting upright.

Then he said: "After solving the legacy of the late emperor, I once met Cheng Xu."

Although some sacrifices were made, Ci did not control the troops. From a strategic level, if the results of the victory were large enough, it would be difficult to understand but not tolerable.

The Queen said: "I have a telepathic power that allows you to take a look at my memories at that time."

But they are precisely the largest group of people in the entire Daqian bureaucracy.

Cheng Xu had had contact with the Queen, and they even worked out such a plan to sacrifice their heads together, which was reasonable.

The Queen herself, Gu Zhaozhao, Huangfu Qian, Shen Xinghai, as well as Wen Fengshi and Qingyang Division, who were completely dependent on the Queen's power, belonged to the Queen's party through and through.

She didn't seem to want to explain more and just gave the picture.

"Although the resources that the imperial court can mobilize are not small, and the strength it maintains is not low, the core must be stable. If the core is unstable, those important ministers who rely on it will immediately become the source of turmoil."

Gu Zhaozhao immediately interrupted: "So, is this really a plan of yours?"

The yellow-faced and fox-eyed Cheng Xu was standing at the foot of the steps, with his hands clasped in his fists and bowing down the stage. He still had the same indifferent look that Li Lang remembered.

With the unique longevity channel as the link, a memory quietly emerged in the minds of Li Lang and Gu Zhaozhao.

"Whose head?" asked the Queen.

With such a person and an army watching from afar, anyone who wants to take advantage of the declining national fortunes to cause chaos must first think carefully.

"What's the use?" asked the Queen.

"But, in this way, the so-called Yue Po plan is not an opportunity for Huang Ren, but an opportunity for Da Qian?"

At this moment, Li Lang seemed to have entered the perspective of the original queen.

The royal family, as well as many forces attached to the imperial power, such as the Nine Guards in the capital and the kings in various places, are royalists and they defend the emperor, but who the emperor is is not actually specific.

"This is not a small sacrifice! But... it is also necessary. The chaos is coming, and all kinds of monsters and monsters will pop up. Shen Xinghai's survival can have a great deterrent effect."

They basically only recognize the Queen and cannot be swayed from their position.

"What's the plan?" came the Queen's voice. Because Li Lang was assuming the Queen's perspective, these words made Li Lang feel as if they were spoken from his own mouth.

He represents the powerful individual and a battle-hardened and absolutely loyal army.

"Give me your head!" Cheng Xu's response was still calm and powerful, interrupting Li Lang's random thoughts.

Li Lang lowered his head subconsciously, and then saw the majestic peaks.

Li Lang didn't speak, but his mind was spinning rapidly.

Li Lang was now looking down from a bird's eye view, obviously looking back at that memory from the Queen's perspective.

These three positions are intertwined. If there are obvious flaws in the core Queen's Party, then the Royalists will have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Quickly looking away, Li Lang coughed twice with a guilty conscience. Of course, this sound could not be reflected in the memory fragments.

After that, there are many ministers, local officials, and generals. The composition of this part is very complicated. Although they are all attached to the Daqian court, they do not only have this identity.

"To cooperate with the release of Shen Xinghai?"

After all, Gu Zhaozhao had been a royal concubine and knew the structure of the Daqian court very well.

"Qin Shouye, three thousand border soldiers, me!" Cheng Xu replied.

This in turn affects the entire Daqian bureaucracy.

After saying that, she did not immediately explain what happened, but remained silent for a while, as if she was sorting out her thoughts and looking for an entry point for explanation.

"Your Majesty! I have a plan to solve the national crisis!" Cheng Xu said loudly.

They are officials, children of aristocratic families, and disciples of great sects. When the country is stable, they are the cornerstone of stability. When the country is unstable, they can also be the source of turmoil.

Therefore, Shen Xinghai's position is very important, far more important than it seems.

Then he said: "I didn't intend to hide it, but this matter is indeed not suitable for spreading. Just know it, and don't tell others about it."

It is a part that can be used, but cannot be trusted.

For the Queen, loyalty is acceptable, but it is far from complete trust.

This is just a memory, not a real return to the past.

It sounded like she didn't want to continue listening. However, given that Shen Xinghai was in jail and wanted to die, she still chose to continue listening.

"First, save the commander-in-chief!"

"Baiyuguan can't live without a coach for a day, and Daqian can't lose his coach either!"

"But even if we keep the coach, it's not enough."

"We must also ensure that the coach has the ability and opportunity to command southward at any time."

"So, my second plan to sacrifice my life is to kill Hu Huang."

"With my plan, I will lure the barbarians and barbarians to attack, and kill most of their young men in one fell swoop, so that they will have no time to look south for at least twenty years."

"If the northwest is determined and the coach is in charge of the army, even if the country's fortunes suffer, young people who are worried about the reputation of the coach will not dare to make mistakes easily."

When Li Lang saw this, he already understood Cheng Xu's intention.

Chaos is about to break out in the Central Plains, and the barbarians and deserters will definitely take the opportunity to go south and invade the Central Plains.

Instead of waiting for them to invade and then find ways to resist and expel them within the country, they would suffer heavy losses and make the already precarious Daqian even worse.

It would be better to snipe the effective strength of these barbarians and barbarians outside the country from the beginning.

Even though there are still strong people among the barbarians and barren people, if these people invade the Central Plains, the strong men of the sects and aristocratic families in the Central Plains will come forward to resist them, so they can ignore them first.

"So, my attempt to collect wealth from the shaved man is just superfluous?" Li Lang felt complicated for a moment.

Although they have lost a lot of wealth, the Hu people are also severely weakened. If they want to organize a large-scale battle, as long as they cannot quickly support the war with war, they will definitely collapse internally. However, this also makes the Hu people, possibly in In the subsequent Yue Po plan, he retained his vitality.

Cheng Xu's plan of sacrificing his head was never allowed to be fully realized.

"Is it possible...that we have to give back the wealth we have taken away?"

"Then why did I do this?" As Li Lang thought about it, the memory scene continued.

"How can you guarantee that everything will go according to your plan?" the queen asked Cheng Xu. She seemed to be convinced, but still hesitated.

From this point, it can be seen that the Queen is not a truly iron-hearted hero.

At best, she can only be regarded as a very good guardian.

The last time the country was able to survive the decline of the country's fortunes, firstly, it was because the two emperors Yuanheng had always suppressed the foreign races from all sides. At that time, the barbarian forces were scattered and the Heihan tribe among the deserters had not yet risen. Secondly, it was also because of the Great Qian Dynasty. After hundreds of years of founding the country, the foundation accumulated is still there, the people's hearts are still moving towards the great cause, and Emperor Heng is secretly helping to support it. Only then can it withstand the pressure and take a breath.

It's just that some things can never happen again.

Once again, most of the country's destiny has been consumed, and its basic foundation has been completely lost. It is expected that the country's future will be more difficult than before.

The only thing worth looking forward to is that the Queen at this time is far more mature than a hundred years ago, and Shen Xinghai, Huangfu Qian and others are available.

The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the harmony of people.

If the dynasty is stabilized and the ministers are motivated and able to act in one place, it is not impossible to survive the crisis.

"Can not guarantee!"

"Planning in this world is basically one-third calculated by people and seven-pointed by destiny."

"However, after I return to the Western Regions, I will do cruel things, kill people, and reveal military intelligence. The crimes are so extreme that it is difficult to describe them."

"Only in this way can we win the trust of the deserted man, listen to my words, and lead an army to attack Baiyuguan." Cheng Xu said, and bowed his hands to the queen.

Without waiting for the Queen to speak, she said to herself: "After I return this time, please Your Majesty, please don't inform the commander of all the plans immediately, otherwise the commander will certainly not allow it."

"This plan only uses the word 'poison'!"

"Poison to the enemy and poison to oneself, the commander-in-chief is marching in full swing. He must not like this."

The Queen seemed silent for a moment.

Then he asked: "What is your wish?"

Cheng Xu smiled and said: "I am alone. I only hope that the world will be peaceful and that no one like me will be born again."

As he spoke, as if he suddenly remembered something, he added: "However, if Your Majesty really wants to fulfill my wish! Then...send the monk named Xuelang to the Western Regions!"

"I saw that he was quite interesting. He suited my liking. He might be a good prospect in the future, so he asked me to teach him a lesson."

In the palace, only the Queen's final response was heard: "Okay!"

The scene was interrupted, and all the doubts seemed to be solved.

The only thing Li Lang didn't understand was why Cheng Xu wanted to bring him to the Western Regions.

What does it mean to teach him a lesson?
"He is truly a national scholar!" Gu Zhaozhao sighed.

Li Lang asked, "What confidence does he have that he can retain the main army of the Huang people and the Hu people under Baiyu Pass?"

Gu Zhaozhao answered on behalf of the Queen: "You're stupid! Of course I used the Moon Breaking Sun!"

"I know when he will choose to attack Baiyuguan!"

"It's February!"

"When the dragon rises in February, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is already surging upward. To attack Baiyuguan in February, we only need to transfer the people and the main force in Baiyuguan in advance, leaving some people to lure the enemy deep, and then detonate the spiritual veins." It can turn the entire Baiyuguan into a desert."

"After the First World War, Baiyuguan was destroyed, but the Hu and Huang people were also completely disabled."

"What a ruthless calculation and vicious plan!"

The Queen said at this time: "Gu Zhaozhao! Li Lang! I have a decree to order you two to bring Cheng Xu back to the capital and protect him before he can be reused."

"Can you two do it?"

Gu Zhaozhao: "Ruyi! You want to call me mother concubine!"

"Also, if I can save such an interesting person... I will try my best!"

"However, I can't guarantee it! After this, his purpose will definitely be exposed. Even if it is not exposed, the angry Huangren will destroy him."

"There are many powerful Huangren. I can't guarantee that I can bring him out."

Li Lang also responded: "I will try my best!"

Although Cheng Xu is very vicious, every plan he uses uses human life to pave the way.

But if it is really successful, there is no doubt that it will not only stabilize the Western Region, but also help maintain stability in the Central Plains.

It is not an exaggeration to say that 'the sin lies in the present, but the merit lies in the future'.

Without the communication in the passage, Li Lang began to meditate on what he should do to save Cheng Xu's life.

He came up with the idea of ​​sacrificing his head, and what he ultimately sacrificed was his own head.

Only by taking life as a sign can we invite all the troops of Huang people and Hu people to come out and cut off their luck for at least twenty years.

"Without Baiyuguan as a guarantor, Daqian's Western Suppression Army will definitely lose its ability to supervise the Western Regions."

"Unless we can build another White Jade Pass more quickly."

Thinking of this, Li Lang vaguely grasped an idea.

Then he entered the passage again and made a small suggestion to the Queen.

······
In the small town, two monks, Dingbo and Dingjue, had already eliminated four monks from Dalun Temple.

Of course, when they started taking action, their identities were not concealed.

Those very obvious traces of Buddhist martial arts can only be missed if you are blind.

"This... mage! Thank you for your help!" Dingbo turned to Harry and said.

Although Haribai didn't actually contribute much, his attitude of helping was still very clear.

So Dingbo politely put his hands together and saluted. At the same time, he also felt that there was a possibility of 'rescuing' this fellow disciple from the Western Regions.

Even though I have entered the sect of that pseudo-Buddhist, I still have a lot of compassion and good thoughts in my heart.

Harry Bai immediately returned the favor, and he was also shocked by the methods of the two monks.

Although the four monks from Dalun Temple were not very powerful masters, they had extraordinary skills, but they were unable to sustain three moves under the hands of these two Central Plains monks.

Moreover, these two monks clearly did not even use their magical powers.

It's even more remarkable.

"You're welcome! I practice Yegu Zen, but I don't look down on noble monks like them. They always like to bully the people and don't take ordinary people's lives and wealth seriously." Harry Bai made an angry appearance. With an expression on his face, he said with glaring eyes.

Dingjue said: "You are not cultivating Yegu Zen! I will sign a certificate for you in a moment, and you will be a serious monk from now on!"

Dingbo didn't look at his junior brother for a moment and asked him to make such a promise. He sighed in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He could only make up for it and said: "Buddhism is a door of convenience, and it can make many destined people in the world, but those who practice Buddhism need to If you hold it, the young monk will write a letter of recommendation for you later. The master can go to Dakong Temple to practice for a period of time. After passing the Buddhist examination, he will issue a certificate."

Harry Bay, who was originally happy, was made up for by Dingbo's words, which made him feel a little frustrated.

He felt good about having a place to go and hide temporarily.

It's just that compared to getting the certificate from the Central Plains monk directly and having a formal status, such a 'respite' seems less comfortable.
