On the ninth day of the eighth month, Lu Junxian, accompanied by Cui Ziduan, met Cui Yu in the manor outside the city.

Cui Yu was also angry. She had already overestimated Li Fengyun, but she didn't expect that Li Fengyun would be more powerful than she thought. After the breakup, it immediately launched a counterattack, and one hit and caught the Hebei wealthy family off guard. What's more serious is that if the Hebei wealthy family was not properly handled, it would definitely be bloody, and the Hebei wealthy family and even the entire Hebei noble group would be severely hit.

Then how can we deal with it? Is it appropriate to cut off the arm of a hero? Can this crisis be resolved? Obviously not. If the wealthy families in northern Hebei want to block the attacks of political enemies, they must first be loyal to the Holy Lord and win the trust and support of the Holy Lord. In this way, they must unconditionally support the Holy Lord. The Holy Lord launched the third Eastern Expedition to win the victory of the war between the North and the South. For this reason, they must do their best to maintain the security of the northern border towns. Therefore, the power of the white-haired thieves became an unavoidable "hindrance". They could only swallow their anger and cooperate with the white-haired thieves secretly. In other words, the decision they made before was wrong. In order to maintain the interests of the family and the group, they ignored the interests of the Middle Earth and the country. In the end, they shot themselves in the foot, and were slapped by Li Fengyun, and were in a mess.

"There is no evidence in this matter, only a word from a white-haired thief." Cui Ziduan saw Cui Yu blushing with anger. She was worried that she would make an irrational action in anger, and hurriedly warned her, "Song Zixian is a member of the Liu family. The unblocked conference planned by Song Zixian also received strong support from Liu family. Therefore, in terms of the current situation, we cannot convince Liu family. After all, Liu family has to bear joint and several liability and become a victim of this matter. The loss is very large and difficult to estimate, so Liu family's reaction will be very fierce. If you want to convince it, you can only provide evidence, otherwise you will become enemies and kill each other. The situation will inevitably be out of control and may eventually evolve into a situation of losing both sides."

Cui Yu looked at Cui Ziduan coldly, then looked at the anxious Lu Junxian, and then said, "The situation has changed. Do you know the news from Dongdu? Do you know what Yang Xuangan's fate is?"

Cui Ziduan pondered silently. He didn't know the news that Cui Yu knew, which was enough to show that Cui Yu's status in the family had surpassed him. At the critical moment, he chose to hand over the final decision-making power to Cui Yu. He had no more information and could not see the whole picture of the situation. Of course, he could not make the right decision.

"What's the news in the East Capital?" Lu Junxian asked anxiously, "Have Yang Xuangan broken through Tongguan, entered Guanzhong, and captured Xijing?"

"Yang Xuangan was defeated and his entire army was wiped out under Tongguan." Cui Yu said coldly, "This is the news that I just received. If nothing unexpected happens, the Holy Lord and the Palace should have received it."

Cui Zi was expressionless, but his heart was filled with "storm waves". Lu Junxian was also surprised and looked incredible.

Yang Xuangan was defeated? The huge mutiny was defeated like this? It was completely different from what I expected. It was completely wiped out in just two months. It was too fast. The news I received before was still that the east had fallen. Yang Xuangan took advantage of the victory and advanced westward, and the blockers were invincible. He did not expect that the entire army would be wiped out in a blink of an eye. What was going on? What subversive changes happened in the middle?

However, now is not the time to speculate on how Yang Xuangan was defeated, but to analyze and deduce how the political situation of the two capitals will go after Yang Xuangan's defeat, what impact will this direction have on the general trend of China and abroad, and what impact will it have on the future decisions of the Saint Lord and the Central. Obviously, this is good news, which is conducive to the Saint Lord launching the third eastern expedition. Once the Saint Lord tries his best to create conditions for continuing the eastern expedition, then the King of Qi will go north to guard the border. Once the King of Qi goes north to guard the border, the white-haired thief will definitely gain a foothold in Yanbei and develop in the northern border under his protection. If the future situation of Youyan and even the northern border develops in this direction, then the relationship between the North and South will become increasingly tense. Not to mention that the benefits of smuggling from the north and the south will definitely be completely cut off. Even the war between the North and the North and the North may break out at any time. In this way, the wealthy families in northern Hebei and the Youyan wealthy families must quickly adjust their future strategies to gain the greatest benefit in the overall situation in the future.

Cui Jiu, who was sitting on the side, spoke in a very serious tone, "The Holy Lord ordered the King of Qi to go north to Gaoyang to suppress the bandits, which shows that the Lord of Qi had already had a positive intention in the matter of the King of Qi guarding the border. It can be imagined that when the news of Yang Xuangan's defeat reached the palace, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee were very likely to make greater compromises with the King of Qi in order to alleviate the crisis of garrison in the northern border, and then await the opportunity to issue an edict to announce that the King of Qi guards the border. Therefore, the time for us to deal with the crisis is really tight? As long as the King of Qi leads his army to Shanggu to suppress the bandits, the white-haired bandits will quickly evacuate. In this way, we are facing tens of thousands of troops of the Wei Palace. If we are not careful, the corpses are everywhere and blood flows into a river."

Cui Ziduan was frightened and uneasy. The situation changed too quickly, and it was unexpected and there was no time to react at all. But this was not the key to the problem. The key was that Cui had already obtained this prediction from the white-haired thief, but ignored it directly, so he was now in a passive state. The white-haired thief once said that Yang Xuangan would be defeated quickly, the King of Qi would go north to guard the border, and the Holy Lord and the Central Committee would also launch a third Eastern Expedition, and then the war between the north and the south broke out. However, Cui did not believe it and disdained this prediction. Now Yang Xuangan was defeated quickly, and the King of Qi was in the white-haired thief.

With the help, the northern border is also close to the north. Even if the Holy Lord and the Central Committee firmly oppose it, they cannot stop the King of Qi from going north. Will there be a third eastern expedition next? Is the war between the north and the south about to break out? If the future development of the situation is exactly the same as the prediction of the white-haired thief, the Boling Cui family can no longer watch coldly and watch it change, and cannot watch the opportunity slip away from the palm of his hand. They must change their strategies, actively participate in the magnificent torrent of history, seize this rare opportunity, and rebuild the glory of the Boling Cui family.

"There is indeed not much time." Cui Ziduan sighed, "But we have to do too much, we must do it thoroughly and strive to minimize the losses, so the most urgent thing is..." Cui Ziduan turned his eyes to Lu Junxian and bowed his hand and said, "Please tell Gong Jing (Feng Deyi) to provide support to help us win more time."

Lu Junxian shook his hand, "Duke Jing has made a promise, of course he will do his best. However, the white-haired thief has taken the initiative in the battlefield of Shanggu, and has no worries to advance and retreat. If the white-haired thief suddenly evacuated, Duke Jing will be helpless."

"Are you sure the white-haired thief is still in the battlefield in the upper valley?" Cui Yu asked suddenly.

Cui Ziduan and Cui Jiu knew that Cui Yu was going to find a white-haired thief when he heard this, but the time was too inappropriate. Once someone was discovered, he would catch the handle and cause endless disasters. The two immediately became nervous and worried that Cui Yu would let him say something in anger.

Of course, Lu Junxian also heard the abnormality, but he didn't care. He could ask Song Jingang to represent Lu's family to come forward to secretly contact the white-haired thief, and the Boling Cui family could do the same. What's more, the wealthy families in the north of Jibei had an inexplicable relationship with the white-haired thief. Otherwise, the white-haired thief would never be able to lead a large group of people to enter Yanbei quietly. However, the conflict between the interests of each other was too fierce and the conflict was irreconcilable, so he turned his back on the scene. However, the result of the reversal was really unexpected. The white-haired thief turned his back and refused to recognize others. He just stabbed his hand and directly penetrated into the vitals of the wealthy families in the north of Jibei, and was covered in blood. Although the wealthy families in the north of Jibei were furious, the Youyan thief was also frightened. Is this a killing chicken to warn the monkey?

"I'm not sure." Lu Junxian hesitated for a moment, and then said mysteriously, "I heard from Song Jingang that the reason why he could see the white-haired thief was because he had the help of Li Sixing."

Cui Yu sneered, his face as cold as frost. Cui Ziduan and Cui Jiuze looked at each other with gloomy eyes.

Lu Junxian must know a lot of secrets. The source of information from the Lu family in Fanyang is also very rich, but it is usually kept secret and clear. It is enough to have a clear idea. This is the unspoken rule between wealthy families. If everyone breaks the rules, the family members would have finished playing. And Lu Junxian is testing the "bottom line" of Cui's family at this moment. The purpose is very clear. You, the wealthy families in northern Hebei, must make a decision immediately and resolve the crisis immediately. Otherwise, in order to avoid being implicated by you and avoid suffering undesired disasters, I can only "take action" to save myself. To put it bluntly, I want to report to the Holy Lord and the Central, and I want to report it to you.

"Catch Song Zixian immediately." Cui Yu was decisive in killing and did not hesitate any longer.

"How to catch it? Who will catch it?" Cui Ziduan asked with a frown, "How can I explain it when Liu pursues it?"

"That's your business." Cui Yu said, "No matter what reason you use or what force you use, just arrest Song Zixian in prison before dawn."

Cui Ziduan was speechless. Such a simple and crude method could handle the crisis properly? "Song Zixian is preparing for the unblocked conference..."

"My primary purpose is to destroy this unblocked conference." Cui Yu raised his hand and interrupted Cui Ziduan's words. "Without this unblocked conference, the Holy Lord would not be stranded in Boling, and the Holy Lord whistled by, and even if someone conspired to assassinate the Holy Lord, he would not find a slight chance."

"Song Zixian is not the point." Lu Junxian hurriedly reminded, "The point is the planner of the conspiracy. Who is going to assassinate the Holy Lord?"

Cui Yu waved his hand without thinking, "Then arrest all the Hulu merchants, first capture Boling, there must be spies from the Northern Lu in it, so that the Northern Lu is the planner of the conspiracy, and the Northern Lu is the culprit of the assassination of the Holy Lord, and then expand the scope of the arrest, arrest all the Hulu merchants from Shanggu, Hengshan, Zhaojun and other places, and sweep away all the Northern Lu spies from the Northern Lu in northern Hebei."

Lu Junxian was stunned. Cui Ziduan and Cui Jiu were also disgraced.

Is the twelve-wife of the Cui family really smart or fake? This is too simple. The crisis was resolved in just a few words. However, the barbarian merchants in northern Hebei are not one or two, but hundreds of them have been swarming in the past two years to make huge profits by the rampant smuggling in Yanbei. In addition, hundreds of Han merchants have had close contact with these barbarian merchants. These people must also be arrested. In this way, thousands and tens of thousands of people will face the misfortune of being in different places. More importantly, how much damage will this matter cause to the reputation and interests of the wealthy families in northern Hebei? How much impact will it have on the relationship between the north and the south? Will it accelerate the deterioration of the relationship between the north and the south?
