The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 252 Coup
In southern Xinjiang, the high priest was dealing with recent business affairs. Suddenly, a man in a blue-gray gown and a bamboo hat approached the high priest's room, and walked slowly behind the high priest. Make a little noise.

However, the high priest seemed to have expected such a person to come, and without turning his head, he said, "Thank you for your hard work, is there any news?"

Hearing the sound, the man stopped his progress and said, "Ran Hai has returned from Liuli Kingdom."

"Oh? Has his goal been achieved?" The high priest frowned and asked.

The man heaved a long sigh and said, "Well, I wish his purpose hadn't been achieved. In that case, others wouldn't be easily inspired by him."

The high priest stood up, turned to look at the man, and said with sympathy: "You are right, and I understand your feelings, but I hope you can consider it from the long-term perspective of Southern Xinjiang and look at it from the overall situation. The thing is, as long as you pamper them for a day, their hearts will not die for a day. For the long-term peace and stability of southern Xinjiang, we must endure the pain and pull out these fangs."

The man nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, and I will do as you want. I hope that southern Xinjiang can really enter into stability and peace in the future. If there is nothing else, I will go back down."

The high priest nodded and said: "Well, you go, be careful and follow the plan."

"I see."

After the gray-clothed man left, the high priest looked at the lonely back of the gray-clothed man when he left, and lowered his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.At this time, a boy knocked on the door suddenly, and the high priest rolled his eyes and said, "Come in."

Hearing the sound, the little boy opened the door and entered, followed by a person in black clothes and black trousers, with a handsome face and light steps, he should be a good player.

After the little boy brought the man in, he respectfully said to the high priest: "Old man, someone from Zhaoxuan Kingdom said he wanted to see you, and there was a token of the saint, so I brought him in directly."

The high priest nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, you've done a good job, you go down first, and don't let anyone come in to disturb you during this period."

"Yes, the villain understands. The villain is watching outside. Call me if you have anything to do." After finishing speaking, the little boy turned around and bowed to the person behind him, then walked out of the room and closed the door specially.Seeing that the little boy was so sensible and smart under his careful cultivation, the high priest nodded in relief.

Then the high priest turned his head to look at the person who stayed in the room and asked, "Your Excellency is from Zhaoxuan Kingdom, but does your Empress have anything to say?"

The man cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the high priest, the empress wants me to convey one thing, the queen will come to southern Xinjiang in a few days, I hope the high priest will deal with the matter of southern Xinjiang very quickly."

The high priest was stunned when he heard that Gu Xinning was coming, and said, "The empress is coming to southern Xinjiang in person at this time? Does the empress not know that the southern border is about to face a disaster that has never been encountered in hundreds of years, and it is an extremely dangerous place. "

"Back to the high priest, the empress has heard about these things, but the empress said that she is also a member of Southern Xinjiang, and she cannot leave such a big mess to the high priest alone, and the emperor is also very concerned about this matter, so The Empress has decided to personally come to assist the high priest."

After hearing the other party's words, the high priest knew that Gu Xinning was still thinking about herself all the time, and felt extremely relieved. After being touched, the high priest asked the person again: "What else did the empress say?"

The man continued: "The empress also said that she still understands the situation in southern Xinjiang. The empress hopes that the high priest will try to spread the news that the empress is about to come to southern Xinjiang. .”

"What?" The high priest looked at the man in surprise and said, "Could it be that the empress is going to be used as bait? Clearly, if the situation gets out of control, wouldn't it be impossible, she is not only your queen, but also our saintess in southern Xinjiang, I must not let my empress be in danger."

The other party pursed his lips and continued: "The empress also said that after hearing the words, the high priest must have scruples about this and refused to agree, but the empress said that the high priest should rest assured that since the empress dared to do this, she would naturally save her life." Please don’t worry about the high priest, just do everything according to what your mother said.”

"Your Majesty really said that?" the High Priest asked in surprise.

The man nodded and said: "Yes, that's what the empress said. Even if my subordinates have a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to fabricate the imperial edict."

After hearing this, the high priest lowered his head and remained silent for a while, as if he was making an important decision. After a long time, the high priest raised his head and said, "Okay, go back and tell the empress, and say that I will do this according to her orders." Please don't worry about her."

"In this way, there will be a high priest, and my subordinates will leave, please!"

"Please!"

After the man left, the high priest called the little boy in, who pushed the door open and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"

The high priest said: "You go and call Huai Gu, and tell him that the master has something to ask him to do."

"Yes."

Soon, the news that the Saintess was about to return to the southern border spread like wildfire, and spread throughout the streets and alleys. Ran Hai also got the news, and immediately called the four patriarchs together to discuss the situation.

After everyone arrived, Ran Hai took the lead and said: "This time, Gu Xinning's sudden return to southern Xinjiang must be because of your Chen Bing's matter that attracted her attention. Why don't you wait for me to come back to discuss before taking any action? Why do you want to act on your own?" Advocate, now cause such trouble."

Ha Bishan curled his lips and said: "Let him come, we are afraid that he will fail, what can a mere girl do?"

Ran Hai said dissatisfiedly: "Patriarch Ha, that's not what you said. You must know that Gu Xinning is still the saint of your southern border. She and the high priest must not be underestimated. At that time, I said, if To be able to negotiate cooperation with the Liuli Kingdom, you must secretly carry out the operation to divide the southern border, and under the condition of secrecy, complete the reorganization as quickly as possible, and immediately send troops to the Zhaoxuan Kingdom, so as to catch him by surprise, but you , but when the situation in southern Xinjiang is not stable, you will send troops to the border without authorization, isn't it to give the enemy time to be alert and prepare?"

Tuobatu frowned and said: "When I heard the news of the cooperation between the Liuli Kingdom, I wanted to use this opportunity to divide the southern border, but I didn't expect that the high priest is more unfathomable than we imagined."

Ran Hai frowned and asked: "What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

Mo Changhao went on to say: "After the news of Liuli Kingdom's cooperation came, we formed an alliance of the four major tribes to stand on the border between the two countries, thinking that if this was the case, the high priest would definitely intervene in this matter, and then we would be able to take advantage of the situation to get rid of it." Lose the high priest, once the high priest dies, the southern border will inevitably fall into chaos. At that time, we can see those things. The clans that are willing to submit to our four major clan alliance will be included, and those who do not obey will be exterminated. After that, they can attack wholeheartedly Zhao Xuanguo, but what I didn't expect was that several days had passed, but the high priest seemed to have nothing to do, as if he didn't know about the matter and turned a deaf ear to it, which disrupted our deployment."

Ran Hai also fell into deep thought when he heard this, and after a while, Ran Hai raised his head and asked: "It seems that the high priest must have seen through your thoughts and deployment plans, so he deliberately stood still in an attempt to drag you down. ?”

"Well, this is what we are worried about now. If the high priest keeps holding back like this, we will not be able to pull him out, and the power of the high priest may hinder us at any time. As a result, we dare not easily launch an attack on Zhaoxuan Kingdom , and fell into a situation of being attacked from both sides." Tuobatu explained.

Ran Hai nodded and said: "The high priest's move seems ordinary, but it is actually the best way to deal with the current situation. However, there is one thing I think you should understand better than me, that is, the high priest can wait , you can procrastinate, but you can’t.”

After listening to Ran Hai's words, the four of them fell silent. Of course they knew what Ran Hai said. In fact, the problem that the nine of them had been worrying about was that the longer they waited, the longer it would be beneficial to the high priest, and the better for the high priest. This side is the most unfavorable.

The reason is very simple, where the high priest is dragged, the four major tribes can make troops on the border in time, and they will not dare to act rashly. If the country and the high priest cooperate, that is the day when the patriarchs of the four major tribes are done.

Therefore, the current situation embarrasses the patriarchs of the four major tribes, and what worries Ran Hai even more is that Southern Border has been standing still. After a long time, Liuli Kingdom may feel that Southern Border is not sincere, and may plant The cooperation is also unknown, and the scheming and price that Ran Hai spent on traveling to the Liuli Kingdom can only be in vain and come to naught.

Thinking of this, Ran Hai felt dizzy. Why did the situation in Southern Border become so uncontrollable not long after he left Southern Border? Ran Hai began to regret it. If he knew this, he should have sent other people to Liuli Kingdom. If I stay in southern Xinjiang to coordinate the overall situation, the passive situation like this will not happen now.but.
"However, Gu Xinning's sudden arrival may be an opportunity for us, what do you think?" Ran Hai looked at several people and asked.

"Gu Xinning? Opportunity? I think it's a crisis! Her arrival will only make the high priest's appeal stronger. When the two of them meet together, it's like a dragon entering the rivers and lakes. It's more smooth. It's also an opportunity, hehe .” Ha Bishan said with a curled lip.

Xiao Yan frowned and said, "Clan Chief Ha, why don't you listen to Master Ran's words? Maybe, Master Ran can really come up with something that makes a difference."

Mo Changhao also nodded and said, "That's right, Lord Ran, please tell me."

Ran Hai asked everyone, "What is Gu Xinning's status in the eyes of the high priest?"

"If the weight is lifted lightly, so what?"

"If we try our best to deal with Gu Xinning, do you think the high priest can continue to stand still?"
