Chapter 442: The Cat Replaces the Prince!

Shen Wuxiang's words were one part teasing, three parts threatening, and six parts sincere.

He really wanted to kill Lu Yu.

He even calculated the losses and gains of doing so in his mind.

He was the core figure among the remnants of the Tang family, and the pillar of the entire team.

If Lu Yu died, would the other side collapse?

Tang Fei alone was just a rootless duckweed, what kind of storm could he stir up?

Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Yu with a more sinister look.

Lu Yu was not panicked at all, drinking hot tea, eating dried fruits, and keeping that unique and slightly sarcastic smile on his face.

Gurgle Gurgle

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

"Now, you can't kill me."

Shen Wuxiang was confused, nineteen years ago

He was 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 quietly."

"Otherwise, why bother negotiating with us? Why not just send a large 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 should appear stable.

He wanted to gain control of the country in a subtle way.

It would be best if the outside world did not know that the country had changed its owner.

The reason 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 heart: "I underestimated your importance, and also ignored my fear of you in my heart"

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

Shen Wuxiang shook his head and said: "After leaving home for decades, you can still strategize, lay out your moves, and stir up the situation in Kyoto."

"The grass snakes are gray and the veins are thousands of miles away. Hiding in the dark, you can still force the palace to seize power."

"The most important thing is that you have done it."

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

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

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

"At that time, the people in Phoenix City were panicked, speculating in all kinds of ways, and all kinds of rumors were flying around. 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."

"Join the game with your body, use the power of the Supervisory Council as a knife, or cut off the branches and leaves , or win people's hearts, this advantage has been taken by you. "

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

"Why did they put Tang Fei into the Supervisory Council? Why did the 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 them all in one fell swoop?"

"If they hadn't closed the net suddenly, we wouldn't have to fight in a hurry. This work was done too roughly, leaving countless troubles. "

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

When they have more bargaining chips and can have greater autonomy, let Zhong Tianyi stand up and force the palace.

Perhaps Zhong Daolong felt that the time had come, or he had already sensed the danger, and actually let Yan Wenli and Shen close the net in advance.

So, in order to protect themselves, Tang Fei and the old man had to expose their hidden power.

Chen Fenglei, Yan Jingnian, Wuyou Palace.

Including the Qin family.

At the beginning, Tang Fei took Qin Jianyi away in front of countless people by the Luoxia Lake, and everyone thought that the two had formed a deadly feud.

Unexpectedly, the two had a frank talk in the Supervisory Council and reached a preliminary intention for cooperation between the two parties.

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

Why did the Qin family cooperate with the weaker Lu family?

Because they knew very well in their hearts that if the Shen family came to power, the first to suffer would be their Qin family.

The Qin family, like the Shen family, started with the military, and its influence in the military was second only to the Shen family and the Zhong family.

The Shen family knew how they came to power, so how could they let the Qin family become another "accident"?

So, the Qin family will definitely encounter a cruel and bloody purge.

They had been preparing for this in the early stage. Tang Shengyan, the leader of the Yuhuo Army, stepped down due to age. Qin Jianyi's father Qin Youru sought to move forward and obtain the position of the leader of the Yuhuo Army.

Unfortunately, the Military Commission rejected him in the name of the rejuvenation of the generals.

Not only did they reject Qin Youru, but they also rejected Shen Fangweng, the head of the Shen family who had a higher voice.

Shen Fangweng didn't fight for it, so what can you fight for?

In this way, the Qin family can only suffer such a loss.

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

This time, the Shi family, who was also one of the nine major families, was also pulled into their camp.

Shen Wuxiang maneuvered and pulled or beat, constantly consolidating the influence of the Shen family in the army.

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

The Lu family has the equipment and weapons they urgently need.

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

The Qin family provides people, and the Lu family provides weapons. Is there a more perfect combination than this?

Moreover, even if the Lu family is in power, they do not have the ability to purge the Qin family

Not to mention that they may not be able to grasp absolute power.

Lu Yu glanced at Shen Wuxiang and said, "We fought back and forth, but you picked up a big advantage."

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

Unexpectedly, they sent the little master Ye Shenyi to ambush the old man, but was killed by the fat man.

They sent Shen Xinglan to intercept Tang Fei, but he was defeated by Tang Fei because of his exposed strength.

They even dispatched the great master Zhong Daoling from the royal family, but Xuanyuan Mingjing also took action and stood on the side of Tang Fei without hesitation.

Yan Wenli led people to control Shang Xiulin, wanting to control the voice of the academic school

He was controlled by his own goddaughter.

The most fatal thing was that Chen Fenglei, the chief steward of Phoenix Palace, rebelled, which exposed Zhong Daolong directly to the enemy and handed over the dominance of the entire Phoenix Palace.

If Chen Fenglei had not backstabbed, even if Tang Fei won, the old man ran away, and Yan Wenli was arrested.

As long as Zhong Daolong himself was safe and sound, he would still be the lord of this huge empire.

He could still manipulate power and command thousands of troops and forces to protect and save the country.

He held countless chips in his hands, and he had ten thousand ways to turn the tables.

Chen Fenglei was the man who really gave him a fatal blow.

One wrong step, all wrong steps.

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

"Only those who know how to judge the situation are true heroes." Shen Wuxiang said arrogantly: "It's a pity that you didn't understand this truth back then."

"Yes." The old man looked gloomy and said: "If we had understood this truth back then, where would you have a role?"

"."

"Besides, we didn't understand that I advised him, but unfortunately, he refused."

"A real man has his own way and his own way. I despise him and 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 ideas have always been simple. A wife, children and a warm bed."

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

"Where are your children?" Shen Wuxiang asked.

"Died of illness." The old man said expressionlessly.

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

"Just randomly found."

"That's impossible." Shen Wuxiang shook his head and said, "At that time, Tang Li's family was locked in the beehive inside the Phoenix Palace. Ordinary people had no chance to see them."

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

"Does Yu Si Ning know? She must know. Without the cooperation of the queen, you can't complete the replacement at all."

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

"."
