Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 255 Outline

Of course, there are many factors. For example, Luzhou is prosperous and has a large population, which requires more energy. It is not as easy to deal with the small population as in the desert snow mountains. Another example is that Luzhou happens to be hosting the World Martial Arts Competition, and is even more worried. From several aspects, it is indeed a target that can be taken advantage of.

In any case, most of the confusing parts have been cleared up, and Xue Mu can probably outline the outline of the whole thing.

The Eight Righteous Sects have never been obedient. The royal family has wanted to weaken their control for a long time, and their thoughts have taken root. If we can manage to eliminate one of them and support another, much weaker and obedient sect, such as the Egret Sect, to come to power, this will severely insert the power of the imperial court into the eight righteous sects, and the effect will be immeasurable.

The imperial court lacked strength, and Ming Mou could not do this at all, so he could only use conspiracy and tricks, such as creating a disaster in Luzhou, leaving Wujiu Temple exhausted and exhausted. Then, taking advantage of the emptiness in Luzhou, he attacked Wujiu Temple in one fell swoop.

However, the thousand-year-old sect of Wujiu Temple has a strong foundation, no matter how empty it is, no one can defeat it. This mastermind does not have enough strength to do it, so he must have foreign aid.

Xinyi Sect is the foreign aid. The two sides made an exchange. The Xinyi Sect helped the imperial court to destroy Wujiu Temple, and Pan Kouzhi wanted to suppress Shiding. Or conversely, the Xinyi Sect was the mastermind, and in order to seize the World-Suppressing Cauldron, he asked a certain prince to cooperate with him in exchange for helping him rise to power.

It's hard to say which one it is specifically. For now, let's just assume that Ji Qingyuan is the mastermind.

Both Ji Qingyuan and Pan Kouzhi want to take advantage of Luzhou's emptiness to attack with force and end it all at once, but this kind of thing cannot be done easily. The reputation of the imperial court and the Xinyi Sect has become so bad that it has made the whole world furious. They are all attacking. Isn't it true that the Xinyi Sect is asking for trouble? It is true that the Xinyi Sect will not be able to defend it even if it has the cauldron.

Therefore, if you want to do this, you must first consider a way to clear yourself of the crime and frame it for others.

Xue Mu didn't know what method they were originally considering, but there must be a method. In the original secret that Xu Jing knew, the Dao robbery also happened, which proved that this step had been successful. Wujiu Temple was so frustrated that it didn't even have the energy to greet the participating warriors, allowing Yue Xiaochan to take the opportunity to rob the Dao and complete a task. A shocking killing.

In other words, this disaster would have happened without his poison, but it might have been in another disaster mode. It is currently impossible to estimate what mode it will be.

But this time, because of the presence of his toxin, Ji Qingyuan was provided with another choice.

Originally, the poison in Ji Wuyong's brain had been controlled by Chen Qianzhen and would not spread. The half-dead straw lying there had long been forgotten by people, even Xue Mu himself. But one day, when Ji Qingyuan or someone discovered that the toxin in Ji Wuyong's brain could be extracted and had the effect of transmitting plague, he immediately thought of a way to create a plague in Wujiu Temple. The blame can be placed on Xingyue Sect very naturally. The poison is indeed Xue Mu's. It shouldn't be too easy for him to take the blame.

As long as the whole world denounces the Xingyue Sect, even if Wujiu Temple discovers the real culprit when they take action, they can divert public opinion and have plenty of reasons to pin people's attention on the Xingyue Sect. On the other side, at most, it will lead to a lot of discussion and suspicion, but in short, it will not form a situation of group attack.

With this level of purpose, people first need to generally realize that the poison was caused by Xue Mu before they can take the next step. So from the very beginning, there were people in the plague area desperately trying to propagate that this was Xue Mu’s poison and that it was Xue Mu taking revenge on Wujiu Temple.

It's a pity that this pot is not as good as imagined. It is true that the poison is Xue Mu's, but you have no evidence. Xue Mu is obviously thousands of miles away in Lingzhou, how many people can take it seriously? The result is that although the rumor was made, people had all kinds of opinions, and this rumor was just one of them, and no one took it seriously at all.

At this time, Xiao Qingwu, Chen Qianzhen's favorite disciple sent by Yuan Zhong at the request, arrived in Luzhou. As for why they sent her here instead of coming by themselves, this person has his own reasons, and it's hard for others to guess. In short, when Xiao Qingwu arrived, the happiest thing was not Yuan Zhong, but the mastermind behind the scenes. This girl had no political sensitivity and actually directly confirmed in public that this was Xue Mu's poison.

It had already been done, but Yuan Zhong had a piece of news that no one else knew: as the host of the martial arts debate, he had been notified by the Six Sects and knew that he was representing the Six Sects to participate in the World Martial Arts Competition. The person is Xue Mu.

As the leader of a sect, he has a high IQ. Yuan Zhong immediately felt that something was wrong with this matter. Xue Mu had been poisoned, and he came so brazenly to get slapped? What's more, Xiao Qingwu said that Xue Mu once gave the poison to Chen Qianzhen for research. This means that he didn't intend to use it to harm anyone, right? Yuan Zhong, who felt that what happened was strange, strictly ordered the doctors and monks present not to spread rumors, and went back to Wujiu Temple to see Xue Mu. Yuan Zhong is highly respected here, and these people all obeyed him, so this matter was suppressed and never spread!

The man behind the scenes was so angry that he didn't expect it to be so difficult to take the blame, so he could only continue to play his cards. He found Xiao Qingwu's bodyguards and used court orders to make them switch sides - perhaps it was not just a court order. There were factions within the court system. Lin Jingyun might have been the mastermind behind the scenes, and she might have been given the opportunity. After making some kind of promise, she obeyed his instructions, so the poison about Xue Mu finally spread.

Due to the closed nature of the epidemic area, it would not spread to the outside world so quickly, so Meng Feibai came forward to organize Jianghu people to go to the epidemic area, hoping to spread the word throughout the world through their word of mouth. This was the cause of the banquet at Tianxiang Tower, but Meng Feibai was obviously more interested in picking up girls...

As a result, Xue Mu appeared at Tianxiang Tower at that time and showed off his sharp poison skills. This time the pretense was very successful on the surface, but the actual consequences were very bad. Because this let the person behind the scenes know that Xue Mu had actually arrived in Luzhou, and that he had mastered the poison skill to the point where he could send and receive it freely! This made him realize that the real nemesis of this plague has arrived, and its effect is greater than Xiao Qingwu. If Xue Mu and Xiao Qingwu cooperate, maybe this plague will be eliminated soon!

Is this a big deal?

So he arranged a new poison plan overnight, asking Lin Jingyun and others to poison the anti-toxic pills and distribute them to warriors who were eager to help in the epidemic area. In fact, it was impossible for Xiao Qingwu himself to bring so many poison-avoiding pills to Luzhou. Most of them were carried by these female guards or made on the spot. It was too easy to do anything.

What happened next was exactly what Xue Mu experienced. The other party wanted to expose him in public and nail him to the pillar of shame. It not only takes the blame, but also prevents Xue Mu from saving people anymore. It kills two birds with one stone. At the same time, they could not let Xiao Qingwu continue to save people, otherwise Wujiu Temple would probably still not be in chaos, so they had to kidnap Xiao Qingwu.

Although many details have not yet been determined, the general outline has been smoothed out.

In theory, you can actually go straight to Huanglong. The people in charge of this matter in the imperial court, as well as Pan Kezhi and the masters of Xinyi Sect, must all be in Bailumen at this time. By gathering superior forces and pushing down the Bailu Gate, forcing Pan Kouzhi away, the matter was resolved.

But Xue Mu doesn't want to do this. As long as the secret before Xu Jing is reliable, it can be judged that the other party must have a way to harm Luzhou without relying on Xue Mu's poison. It is very likely that he will cooperate at this time. The toxins were used together, forcing Yuan Zhong to quickly invite the World-Suppressing Cauldron. If we take the initiative to attack by force, the killer's eight achievements will not be exposed. In the future, we can just continue to use it to attack Luzhou. What if we use it to retaliate against Lingzhou in a fit of anger? There is no World-Zhending Cauldron to borrow in Lingzhou.

God knows what kind of thing it is, it must be exposed!

Xue Mu let out a long breath and said decisively: "Wei Ruyi, Meng Feibai, and the Yaowang Valley prisoners, whoever is good at torture should be tortured. This is not the time to be merciful. It is best to ask whether the person in the court is Ji Qingyuan." , I have always felt that something is not right... In addition, we should not expect too much from these juniors to know how many details of the operation, we need to make other preparations..."

Yuan Zhong said solemnly: "If Mr. Xue has any ideas, just tell me."

Xue Mu smiled: "Let's all...act with me."
