Starting as a God-Emperor by Intercepting Destiny

0037 A true diversionary tactic, also involving a scheme to sow discord.

"absurd!"

After his initial shock, Gu Changfeng flew into a rage:

"The imperial mausoleum is a sacred site, guarded by tomb keepers, protected by a grand formation, and inhabited by the spirits of past emperors."

"Let alone me, even if the head of the Yuwen family came in person, he wouldn't be confident of victory."

In his anger, Gu Changfeng didn't even bother with his secret telepathic communication technique.

Zhao Jing smiled faintly:

"Brother Gu, when Fourth Brother sent me here, he told me to say something."

"You wouldn't want the Countess to..."

"Although I don't understand the meaning of those words, he said that Brother Gu will definitely understand."

You scoundrel!

I wish I had killed that lowly servant long ago, for this calamity continues to this day!

Gu Changfeng's teeth were grinding together.

His hatred for Yuwen Yi reached its peak.

He even considered whether or not to kill Yuwen Zhe.

Zhao Jing didn't care.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to inflict more hatred on Yuwen Yi?

He would laugh out loud if both sides were to exchange insults.

To prevent the other party from discovering a flaw, Zhao Jing continued to press the issue:

"It all depends on human effort."

Gu Changfeng gritted his teeth for a moment:

"It's impossible."

"Even threats won't work."

"The eunuch guarding Wanshou Mountain, Eunuch Xu, is also a grandmaster, and his strength is not much worse than mine."

Zhao Jing frowned:

"Even with so many troops in the Beijing garrison, reinforced by their formation, they couldn't accomplish that?"

Gu Changfeng rejected the idea:

"Outlandish!"

Of the 100,000 troops in the Beijing Garrison, I only truly control 30,000.

"This time, Zhou Tao and Zheng Ming were forcibly killed before they could be merged."

"They simply won't listen to reason."

The location of the Beijing Garrison was crucial, and even if Emperor Hongjing were foolish, he wouldn't entrust it to just one person, but rather to three.

As a result, Gu Changfeng successfully assassinated the two men, thus gaining control of an army of 100,000.

Emperor Hongjing couldn't understand how the capital's defenses, which had been in perfect condition, had suddenly disappeared.

That's what cheating is like.

If I'm not mistaken, the eldest princess is weakening the palace's grand formation.

As for Yuwen Yi, he is probably waiting in the capital, holding a reserve force, awaiting the arrival of a true powerhouse.

Zhao Jing disrupted Yujing's plans, and although there were many people involved, none of them were Grandmasters or Great Grandmasters.

It looks like it's luring the snake out of its hole.

It's unlikely that Yuwen Yi will make a move.

If Zhao Jing's maternal grandfather comes, he will definitely be the primary target.

The others only have scabies.

They can hand it over to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and others, but they cannot mobilize Yuwen Yi, lest it affect the overall situation.

Otherwise, given that Yuwen Zhe had an accident, we still haven't seen the Grand Tutor's mansion, and we haven't seen much effort made in its preparation.

Even with Tu Su's ability to block his senses, one can still see the Grand Tutor's Mansion's determination in the coup.

Zhao Jing understood the current situation and felt even less pressured.

Seeing Gu Changfeng's constant complaints, he smiled but remained silent.

If you don't comply, then wait for the mother and son to go to the guillotine together.

The pressure increased dramatically in the military camp.

Zhao Jing remained silent, so Gu Changfeng could only stare at him.

Master craftsmen, meticulous and precise.

If Gu Changfeng hadn't worried about his mother, he would have had a chance to discover Zhao Jing's weakness.

But his heart was not in it.

Zhao Jing was not afraid at all; in fact, he deliberately stared back at her.

It was as if it were saying, "Those who engage in such shameful acts with their mother and child are not worthy to compete with me."

Zhao Jing manipulates Yuwen Zhe with sharp insight, penetrating to the heart of the matter.

The dignified master was actually showing signs of defeat.

It has nothing to do with cultivation level.

Gu Changfeng's face turned pale, and his hatred intensified.

But with her mother in the hands of the Yuwen family, she had no choice but to submit.

Gu Changfeng's voice became somewhat hoarse:

"The Yuwen family insists on this course of action; I need help."

"The Beijing garrison can't do this."

"I just don't understand why the alliance between the Yuwen family and the princess is the foundation for their conquest of the world."

"To attack the imperial tombs now would be a losing proposition."

"Without the name of the eldest princess, people from all over the country would raise troops under the pretext of avenging the royal family."

"What exactly is Yuwen Yi's intention?"

Finally, under pressure, Gu Changfeng chose to give in.

He simply didn't understand where this foolish approach came from.

Even if the Yuwen family were to turn against them, they should first conquer the world.

It must be said that although Gu Changfeng is a scoundrel, he has a very far-sighted vision.

Despite the numerous conflicts, the alliance between the Eldest Princess and the Yuwen family will not collapse for the time being.

The normal approach is to first conquer the entire country, and then resolve the issues step by step.

Seeing that Gu Changfeng had given in, Zhao Jing took a step back.

"Brother Gu, why go to such lengths?"

"Fourth Brother said he wanted to seize the imperial tombs, but he didn't say now."

After all, Gu Changfeng wasn't a fool.

If he wanted to capture the imperial tomb, he might actually go and contact Yuwen Yi.

Then Zhao Jing's plan would fall through.

The preceding part is simply the art of negotiation.

How do you get the other party to agree to a difficult condition?

Give him something he can't possibly agree to first.

Gu Changfeng first breathed a sigh of relief, then realized he had been tricked and glared angrily.

Witness!

A single glance can cause someone emotional distress.

The pressure from a grandmaster-level expert was indeed extraordinary.

However, Zhao Jing is no longer the same person he once was.

He condensed a holy seal, and with two great deities attending to him, he was not afraid of mental pressure at all.

Are you trying to oppress me?

He wasn't afraid of the earlier contest of momentum, let alone a small threat.

He is now Yuwen Zhe.

Zhao Jing faced the situation calmly, and Gu Changfeng was defeated once again, only able to say resentfully:

"If you don't tell me now, don't blame me for being heartless."

Seeing that Gu Changfeng had given in, Zhao Jing took a step back and apologized:

"Brother Gu, I have offended you greatly."

"But Fourth Brother said we need to figure out first what level First Brother is willing to agree to."

Gu Changfeng had accepted the fact that he was being threatened, and snorted coldly:

"In the past three years, my younger brother has truly undergone a complete transformation."

"Now I feel ashamed to be the eldest brother, because I am no match for him anymore."

Zhao Jing smiled faintly:

"The eldest brother will always be the eldest brother."

"It's just that Fourth Brother has some unspeakable difficulties, which is why he needs Eldest Brother's help."

"Alright, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Stop beating around the bush."

Seeing that he couldn't subdue Zhao Jing, Gu Changfeng became somewhat impatient.

Zhao Jing then approached Gu Changfeng and whispered:

"Fourth Brother only hopes that when Her Highness the Princess comes to pay respects to the ancestors, Eldest Brother will lead the troops to offer his opinions."

"Your Highness is now a daughter-in-law of the Yuwen family, and should pay homage to the ancestors of the Yuwen family."

The alliance between the Eldest Princess and the Yuwen family has a fatal flaw.

Li Xuanqing could see this, and so could Zhao Jing.

He naturally intended to deceive them ruthlessly here.

Gu Changfeng revealed a cold smile:

"I see."

"He wants me to be the one to make the first move."

"Will he then step in as peacemaker when the princess gets angry?"

Zhao Jing smiled faintly:

"Brother, this is also a meritorious service in supporting the emperor."

Gu Changfeng frowned, still finding it unbelievable:

"Isn't this too hasty?"

"If the princess gets angry, the alliance between the two families will be weakened, which would allow the remnants of the kings to take advantage of the situation and rise up."

That's exactly what I hope for.

Zhao Jing wanted both.

They wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain while also creating rifts.

It's best to make the conflict public.

The Yuwen family needed the eldest princess as a figurehead to gradually seize control of the Dayong Dynasty.

The eldest princess needs the power of the Yuwen family to realize her political ambitions.

This was supposed to be an invincible alliance.

The only serious flaw lies in the rituals performed.

Zhao Jing wanted to stir up conflict and push for a complete break between the two sides.

Whatever the outcome, it's a good thing.

But you can't say it like that.

Zhao Jing chuckled:

"Brother, you are unaware of this."

"If the name is not correct, the words will not be proper."

"Once Fourth Sister-in-law becomes Empress, then Fourth Brother will become a son-in-law."

"In the end, the Yuwen family may still end up with nothing."

"Someone has to step forward and test Fourth Sister-in-law's true intentions."

"This is the real reason why the eldest brother stepped in."

"It's no different from conquering an imperial tomb."

Zhao Jing's plan was insightful and to the point.

He was almost starting to believe it himself.

Because it's reasonable.

Gu Changfeng also began to believe that Yuwen Yi needed someone to take the lead and test the Princess.

Yuwen Yi needed to know how much the Eldest Princess loved him.

To be an empress or an empress.

The two are not equivalent.

This concerns the inheritance of the next generation.

If you don't solve this now, you'll be waiting for your descendants to kill each other.

The ending was already predetermined.

Gu Changfeng was still somewhat hesitant:

"These plans are excellent, but Your Highness is wise and decisive. If..."

Zhao Jing patted his chest and said:

"That's easy."

"I am willing to go with you, elder brother."

"It was precisely because he was worried about his elder brother's safety that he ordered the Beijing garrison to gather together and form a military formation."

"We will wait for Your Highness on the way."

"Fourth Brother will also go with us; even if Her Highness the Princess gets angry, he can stop her."

"Absolutely foolproof!"

Zhao Jing spoke eloquently, making the entire plan seem perfectly meticulous.

The prerequisite is that all of this is with Yuwen Yi's cooperation.

Otherwise, Gu Changfeng would mobilize 100,000 troops from the capital, form a grand formation, and then coerce the princess into acknowledging that she was a daughter-in-law of the Yuwen family.

This scene is absolutely beautiful.

Is this an inquiry, or a coercion?

Whatever happens, it's a good thing.

Even if the eldest princess kills Gu Changfeng in a fit of rage, Zhao Jing still comes out ahead.

He went to great lengths to lure the tiger away from the mountain, using Yuwen Zhe's identity to tell a colossal lie.

If Gu Changfeng falls for the trap, then there's no need to worry about Wanshou Mountain being discovered.

"But what about the safety of the imperial tombs?"

Although Gu Changfeng had agreed to the plan, he felt somewhat uneasy.

Zhao Jing immediately smiled mysteriously:

"Don't worry, brother."

"There are arrangements on Longevity Mountain. Father will take something away at that time."

"Brother, please don't be curious."

Gu Changfeng gasped.

The Yuwen family is truly terrifying; they are meticulously planning every step of the way.

What should I do? What can I do?

Even so, do as my younger brother says.

"I will summon the Beijing garrison immediately."

well.

The defenses on Longevity Hill would be greatly weakened.

With this mental preparation, even if Zhao Jing caused a commotion, Gu Changfeng would assume it was arranged by the Yuwen family.

Zhao Jing said with a smile:

"Brother Gu is wise. I will send my subordinate to report to Fourth Brother immediately."

Zhao Jing planned to make a run for it, at least to get Chen Zhong and the others out of the military camp and escape as quickly as possible.

Only Yuwen Zhe's remains were left, giving Yuwen Yi a big surprise.

Just as he was about to leave the military camp, Gu Changfeng suddenly called out to him:

"etc."

"There seems to be something wrong with your body."

After making his decision, Gu Changfeng relaxed and noticed Yuwen Zhe's unusual physical condition.

Zhao Jing calmly replied:

"Don't worry, brother. I was just a little injured while chasing the remnants of the Crown Prince's faction."

"What's a little injury compared to what happened to Fourth Brother?"

Gu Changfeng sensed something strange.

But Yuwen Zhe's knowledge of so many secrets clearly indicates that he cannot be a fake.

He nodded and said:

"Here, take this precious pill. Take care of yourself."

Gu Changfeng knew the importance of patience. Although he wanted to kill the entire Yuwen family, he had to submit to them and even appease them at this moment.

So he took out his treasured elixirs.

One Heavenly King's Life-Saving Pill.

Zhao Jing's smile grew even brighter:

"Thank you, brother."

That title of "Big Brother" wasn't given in vain.

The rest depends on the main body.

It's time to go up Longevity Hill.

That's the key to victory.
