Pull the snake out of the hole.

This is the plan that Xinyuehu and Hou Qing made at the beginning.

Because Xinyuehu knew in his heart that the relationship with Huanglong had almost reached the point where Qinglong, which was incompatible with water and fire, even if he learned about the drastic changes in Zhongjitian, he would not feel any disturbances. He might even wake up from his sleep in the middle of the night because of this news.

At this point, Xinyuehu actually made some mistakes.

She underestimated the energy of the dark chess she buried in the East Ji Tian. She just wanted to cause some trouble to Qinglong. She would never have expected that Qinglong's prestige would decline to the point of being affected by a few words.

However, this had no effect on her plan to lead the snake out of the hole.

Because her judgment on another thing was very accurate.

That is the hatred value of her "traitor" in Qinglong's eyes.

So based on this point, she was sure that after Qinglong learned that she had dared to take the risk of staying away from Yingtian City and away from the protection of the government, he would definitely make up his mind to send a large number of people, and might even come in person to eradicate her, a "traitor".

As for whether Qinglong suspects that this is a trap?

Xinyuehu is even less worried.

Knowing how much threat he posed to Qinglong and how much Qinglong wanted to get rid of his heart moon fox, he knew in his heart that even if Qinglong knew that this was a trap, he would step in without hesitation.

As long as she can be killed, even if all the sent people are buried with her, Qinglong will definitely be willing to do so.

Because after eliminating her, the greatest threat to her prestige, as long as the people of Dongjitian have not yet died, he can rely on his powerful prestige to pull Dongjitian up again. All he needs is time and resources.

But if she had been alive, then Qinglong's prestige would have the risk of collapse at any time. Once his prestige collapsed, even if everyone in Dongjitian was alive, the entire Dongjitian would immediately fall apart and no longer exist. Even if someone could turn the tide by luck, barely support it, and even rebuild Dongjitian, it would obviously not have a relationship with him Qinglong.

Just as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said in the "Chen She Family" by Ma Qian, Taishi Company, when planning, "If you die now, you will die, and if you make a big plan, you will die. If you wait for death, will you die in the country?" Generally speaking, Qinglong faces a similar situation today.

A bet may die, but if you don’t bet, you will definitely die.

Perhaps those with pessimistic mentality are not willing to fight again even if they close their eyes and wait for death. However, Qinglong, who can control Dongjitian for more than ten years, suppress many arrogant soldiers and generals under his command, and can still compete with Huang Long, the powerful Zhongji Heaven Lord, for several years, without losing his edge. Obviously, it is not such a pessimistic person.

As Qinglong's old subordinate, Xinyuehu naturally knows what kind of person he is.

Therefore, she was sure that Qinglong would inevitably take the bait this time.

As for whether you can catch this big fish because of this, it depends on the ability of the Six Doors.

However, at least from the moment, the situation is pretty good.

Although Xie Laosan always criticized the orders, he did not disobey Hou Qing's orders at all. No matter how reluctant he was, he would honestly follow the orders of Xinyuehu every day.

After several days, the six gates of the Six Gate and the captains who had left Taiping Mansion were also on the way back at this time.

After leaving Taiping Mansion, they learned the complete plan from their confidants assigned by Hou Qing. They changed their previous resentment and laziness, and they wanted to fly to the designated location to ambush them, waiting for the big fish Qinglong to take the bait and make great contributions.

As for the envy of the two of my colleagues who could go to Hongdu Mansion in my heart, it has long turned into ridicule.

...

Nearly half a year after retreating to the territory of Yangzhou Prefecture and coming to this temporary camp, the entire Tianyan Gate Dongjitian finally mobilized again.

Just as Tongxin Yuehu guessed in his heart, even though he felt that Xinyuehu left Yingtian City as a trap to deal with him, he still prepared to act without hesitation.

Even Fang Ritu, the confidant who still had the last bit of expectations for him, secretly asked him to explain the situation after learning the news and reminded him that this was a trap. Even if he wanted to act, he would at least investigate such reasonable suggestions first, and he was not moved.

He just used the reason of "Eliminating that traitor was originally my plan!" and "The opportunity is fleeting, we can't stand it!" and refused Fang Ritu's suggestion in a very firm tone.

Even if he knew that this would happen, Fang Ritu, his last confidant, would probably be separated from him in the future.

The seven star masters of the Dongjitian, five of whom died, were already dissatisfied.

When the seventh is gone, it is time to push it back. Since this is the case, Fang Ritu, the star master with strong traces of the "old era" on her body, has no reason to exist.

Dongjitian almost emerged from the nest, but the only remaining star masters, Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu, were left in the temporary camp by Qinglong.

Obviously, Qinglong no longer trusts them, worried that if they leave their sight and lead the team to eradicate the traitor Xinyuehu, it will cause trouble.

Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu were equivalent to being under house arrest, waiting for news with Qinglong.

...

Hongdu Prefecture City.

When Bai Shier passed by midnight, while the night was getting dark and preparing to visit many high-rise courtyards in the East City at night, he accidentally saw an acquaintance.

However, for this acquaintance, Bai Shier obviously had no intention of going up to say hello. Instead, he quietly hid in the shadow under the high wall, quietly left Dongcheng, and returned to his residence.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Zhu Jinxuan, who was anxiously waiting for Bai Shier to return, couldn't help but show a little astonishment and confusion on her face after seeing Bai Shier's figure.

Although she was worried about Bai Shier's safety, she obviously did not expect such a result.

"I saw an acquaintance."

Bai Shier sat down with a helpless look on his face, poured himself a cup of herbal tea and drank it all, then slowly explained.

"acquaintance?"

Zhu Jinxuan didn't understand what Bai Shi meant in a hurry. If she met an "acquaintance" when she went to check the news, wouldn't it be a good thing? Then, following this "acquaintance", wouldn't it just happen to find more clues?

"Hu Xiaolin?"

However, as smart as her, I immediately realized that the "acquaintance" in Bai Shier's mouth had nothing to do with the "acquaintance" she had thought about before.

Bai Shier nodded silently, causing Zhu Jinxuan's face to show a little helplessness.

They had expected Hu Xiaolin to follow him to Hongdu Mansion, but they didn't expect Hu Xiaolin would come so quickly and become smart. They did not directly look for their whereabouts like headless flies, but directly watched the places they might go and used the method of waiting for the rabbit to find their traces.

"What should we do now?"

Zhu Jinxuan felt a little guilty because if it weren't for her identity, Hu Xiaolin wouldn't have come with her, and Bai Shier could have acted with her as much as possible. In the final analysis, this was all because of the trouble she brought to Bai Shier by coming with her.

“…”

Bai Shier didn't answer immediately. Obviously, when things happened suddenly, he didn't think about what to do.

"Otherwise, I'd better leave Hongdu Mansion with them first and let..."

Seeing Bai Shier falling into long-term contemplation, Zhu Jinxuan felt that the best way was to leave Hongdu Mansion with Hu Xiaolin first, leaving enough space for Bai Shier to investigate.

However, before Zhu Jinxuan finished speaking, she was interrupted by Bai Shier's gesture.

“No, no need.”

Bai Shier naturally knew that Zhu Jinxuan must have made great determination to say such words, and he would inevitably feel very unwilling and sad. Therefore, he was unwilling to solve this problem by sacrificing Zhu Jinxuan's personal will.

"But if we don't do this, we can only play hide-and-seek with them here, so how can we have the energy and ways to do the serious business?"

Zhu Jinxuan was very satisfied with Bai Shier's attitude, but this also made her feel more determined in her previous thoughts.

"Besides, I'm just leaving Hongdu Mansion for the time being, and after this incident is over..."

"Since I have already patted my chest before and promised that I will definitely be with you, Xuan'er, how can I retreat if I encounter such a little trouble now?"

Bai Shier interrupted Zhu Jinxuan again, but Zhu Jinxuan, who was interrupted twice, was not at all dissatisfied. On the contrary, she was very happy with such a firm attitude towards Bai Shier.

However, just when she wanted to persuade Bai Shier again, Bai Shier spoke first.

"Give me some time, let me think about it first,"

Bai Shier raised his head and stared at Zhu Jinxuan's eyes, and said slowly.

"Believe me, okay?"

"Um."

Zhu Jinxuan closed her mouth, nodded very hard, her eyes full of trust.

...

It was already late at night, and Zhu Jinxuan's steady breathing from her ears and the feeling of pressure from her shoulders proved that she finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

He looked at Zhu Jinxuan beside him with a doting look. Bai Shier smiled on his face, shook his head gently, and gently supported Zhu Jinxuan's side face with his hand, while slowly stood up in a somewhat awkward position. After leaving Zhu Jinxuan's body with his shoulders, he took Zhu Jinxuan's body weight with his other hand, then pulled out the hand that was originally holding Zhu Jinxuan's side face, held her upper body, then bent down, picked up Zhu Jinxuan, walked gently to the bed, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

"call!"

After doing all this, Bai Shier gave out a sip of turbid air, looked at Zhu Jinxuan's sleeping face, and couldn't help but gently scraping her nose with her fingers, then straightened up, took her steps lightly, and left the room.

The moonlight covered the entire yard like white juan, making the originally ordinary yard look like the legendary Moon Palace, but there was no tragic person who held a big axe and kept chopping the osmanthus tree that would never fall, there was no lunar fairy in the moon with a beautiful and indifferent expression, and a rabbit who kept pounding the osmanthus leaves into immortal medicine.

Bai Shier shook his head and threw these messy thoughts out of his mind.

His old habits have been dealt with again.

Walking in the courtyard under the moonlight, Bai Shier frowned and continued to think about solutions to the problem.

Hu Xiaolin has become smart and even managed to defend the east of the city in the middle of the night. Although he can avoid Hu Xiaolin and sneak in secret, who can be sure that Hu Xiaolin will remain in the same place?

If he was unfortunately found by Hu Xiaolin when he left...

Let’s take a step back, even if he was not discovered today, what will happen in the future?

There are so many tall courtyards in the east of the city, but it took him nearly three days to check it out briefly. If he wanted to sneak in and investigate one by one, he would probably take more than ten times more time.

As the saying goes,

"Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can one defend against a thief for a thousand days?"

Therefore, unless he can grasp Hu Xiaolin's traces at any time and ensure that he cannot meet Hu Xiaolin when he sneaks in and leaves, he may have to really raise his hands to surrender and let Zhu Jinxuan and Hu Xiaolin leave first.
To be continued...
