Pei Shiju concentrating and silent for a long time.

Pei Xuanji saw that his elders did not speak from beginning to end and did not show enough interest, so he couldn't help but feel anxious. After all, Pei Shiju had already proposed a plea in front of the Holy Lord, and now he has confirmed that the white-haired thief is Li Pingyuan. Then Pei Shiju must "set up" Li Pingyuan, quickly resolve the potential crisis that threatens his own interests, and skillfully transform the danger into opportunities. Otherwise, this would be a sharp sword hanging high above Pei's head, a disaster that would break out at any time, put Pei's in a huge uncontrollable risk.

"Sir, this strategy should be the product of Li Pingyuan's foresight. Whether inside or outside the Great Wall, it can bring short-term or long-term benefits to all parties involved." Pei Xuanji said cautiously, "So the purpose of Li Pingyuan's proposal is to tell us that he does not threaten us. He will implement this strategy regardless of whether we support it or not. There is no doubt that this is not a question."

Pei Shiju glanced at his son without saying a word.

"Sir, Li Pingyuan is no longer a secret soldier alone, but a hero with a 100,000 army. His purpose is obvious. He wants to take revenge. If he succeeds, the world will be in chaos and life will be in trouble. Therefore, this person cannot stay in the northern border no matter what. Even if he cheats, he will trick him into the frontier, let him fight with the Turks, and let him harm the enemy outside the frontier."

Pei Shiju closed his eyes and had no expression on his face.

Pei Xuanji felt his despise of his elders and smiled helplessly. If Li Pingyuan could deceive him, could he still be resurrected from the dead? Pei would still fall into today's predicament? Li Pingyuan's revenge plan has just begun. As long as he does not die, the situation inside and outside the Great Wall will definitely be deeply affected in the future. What's more serious is that Li Pingyuan firmly grasped the god-given opportunity that the Civil War is about to break out. Under this background, Li Pingyuan and his 100,000 army have become a third-party force that cannot be ignored inside and outside the Great Wall. Whoever controls this force or wins the support of this force will seize the initiative in the war between the North and the South.

However, the Holy Lord and the Central Master did not know that Li Pingyuan was, and they looked down on this force at all. If they took a step back, even if they knew, they were worried that raising a tiger would be a disaster and would have to kill it in the cradle. Therefore, Li Pingyuan has always been very low-key, and now he is more anxious to leave Middle Earth and go far outside the border, so he has to escape from the Great Wall before the Holy Lord and the Central Master realized his harm and have no time to kill him.

Although Li Pingyuan was outside the Great Wall, although it was difficult to survive and even had the danger of being wiped out, as long as the Beilu saw his strength and realized his importance, it was a Zhongtu strategy to drive away tigers and wolfs, and to lure the waters eastward. If you deliberately curb, weaken and consume the Beilu, then the Beilu must use his own way to cure his body. Instead of fighting against both tigers, it is better to become sworn brothers to plan for the future. If you want to use Li Pingyuan's knife to kill me, why can't I go against the rules?

If you do, you will use this knife to kill you? Besides, Li Pingyuan has a connection with the tent leader and faction. Now that the tent leader and faction are in decline, he can completely form an alliance with Li Pingyuan to use this third-party force to fight against the tent leader and war faction. In this way, Li Pingyuan's life outside the border will be easier. He attacked the sky and soared in the sky. With his own strength, he joined forces with Xi, Jun, Khitan and other tribes outside the border to roam between the two major forces in China and abroad for profit, and thus became a hero, awaiting revenge and killing.

How can Pei Shiju not see anything that Pei Xuanji can see?

Pei Xuanji knew very well that the grievances between Pei and Li Pingyuan were unresolvable. Pei was no longer able to win Li Pingyuan's trust and could no longer control him. Since this is the case, it would be better to be a favor, send you out of the frontier, give you money, food, and weapons, and let you be a hero outside the frontier. No matter what, the blood of Middle Earth flows in your body, and your subordinates are all Middle Earth people. At critical moments, I don't expect you to live and die with me. As long as you don't betray Middle Earth and don't help the Northern Escapists harm Middle Earth, that's fine.

Pei Shiju stood high and saw far. His views on this matter were very different from Pei Xuanji. There was no political integrity, only interests. Traitors were not betrayed because of Xinyi, but because interests betrayed the soul. Therefore, all politically uncontrollable risks must be ruthlessly strangled. Li Pingyuan was the same. Although his strategy of entering and leaving the frontier did help Middle-earth to seize the initiative in the upcoming Civil War, it was not a decisive opportunity, nor was it an advantage to determine the outcome of the war. The risks taken for this opportunity and advantage were fatal, and it might counterproductively detonate the war in advance, and it might raise a tiger to cause trouble for its own disaster. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he would quickly and resolutely eliminate Li Pingyuan once and for all.

Pei Xuanji had already expected the result, but he was lucky. Li Pingyuan was grown up by Pei Shiju and was also cultivated by Pei Shiju. Moreover, Li Pingyuan sacrificed his life to save Pei Shiju, but Pei Shiju abandoned Li Pingyuan in the Yulin storm. Pei Shiju apologized for this and was still hard to let go. Therefore, Pei Xuanji had reason to believe that Pei Shiju should give Li Pingyuan a chance.

However, Pei Shiju's heart was as hard as iron, cruel and ruthless as he did not give Li Pingyuan any chance.

"Sir..." Pei Xuanji weighed the pros and cons, but still tried hard to advise, "Even if you don't want to be Li Pingyuan, you have to consider it for me, Pei."

Pei Xuanji was still worried that the true identity of the white-haired thief would be exposed, which would affect Pei Shiju and even impact the power of the Pei family.

Pei Shiju was unmoved, his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping soundly, turning a deaf ear to his ears.

Pei Xuanji sighed and gave up completely.

Perhaps in Pei Shiju's eyes, personal power and family future are important, but more importantly, the interests of Zhongtu, and the great cause he has worked hard and devoted to. Besides, even if the true identity of the white-haired thief was exposed, as long as the white-haired thief did not cause major harm to the interests of Zhongtu and did not affect the outcome of the Civil War, it would be difficult to pose a substantial threat to Pei Shiju. After all, Pei Shiju is the first authority in China-Turkey diplomatic affairs today. Especially when the Civil War is about to break out, Pei Shiju's importance is more prominent. The Holy Lord and the central core decision-making level will never be able to doubt Pei Shiju's loyalty because of a secret soldier who has recovered from the dead, ended Pei Shiju's political life and destroyed the Great Wall. When the North-South War is won, Pei Shiju's contribution is enough to offset his merits and demerits. On the contrary, if defeated, Pei Shiju will have to bear the blame and do not care about such an extra crime.

"Sir, how do you report to the Holy Lord?" Pei Xuanji was a little depressed, his tone was low and he was uneasy.

Pei Shiju closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and made a gesture slightly.

Pei Xuan understood it carefully, "Sir, let's go first, and I will catch up later."

On the afternoon of August 11, Pei Xuanji met Li Fengyun, who had been waiting here in a forest outside the city of Qiucheng.

When Zu Fengyun was very anxious, he saw Pei Xuanji, he asked, "Can you meet Ming Gong?"

Pei Xuanji smiled bitterly and shook his head, "A certain family member has crossed the river to the west."

Li Fengyun's heart suddenly sank, and a cold chill suddenly spread throughout his body. He had imagined countless possibilities, but the result was the worst. Pei Shiju's refusal to summon him was enough to prove that he was too arrogant and optimistic. The power of himself and the alliance had no weight in the highest power level in Middle-earth China, nor was he qualified to bargain. As for the strategy of entering and leaving the frontier, it was a huge joke in their eyes. Raising enemies is the most important thing, and raising tigers is the trouble. Do they all be fools?

Li Fengyun's face suddenly looked ugly.

Pei Xuanji reached out and patted his back to show comfort, "But I still came, and this is not a loss to you. As for that matter, I just pretend that you didn't say it or heard it." The implication was that although a certain family member was extremely dissatisfied with you and rejected your strategy of entering and leaving the frontier, he did not cut off your vitality. He still acquiesced to you for "taking a fox and cheating" with his signature.

This sentence became mysterious, and Li Fengyun's first thought came to Li Zixiong.

If Pei Shiju acquiescedly appoints Li Fengyun to continue to play his signature "scam and cheat" and maintain the status quo, Li Zixiong will continue to misunderstand, believing that Pei Shiju stands behind Li Fengyun, and the two continue to cooperate, and Feng Deyi will continue to misunderstand, believing that Li Fengyun's every move comes from Pei Shiju's instructions. In this way, in the future, the Guard Army and the Alliance Army will form a tacit understanding.

Duan Da once asked Li Zixiong for cooperation, hoping to kill people with a knife, and to drive away the alliance army outside the frontier to join the northern enemy. If the two sides formed a tacit understanding, Duan Da would continue to make this request, and Li Fengyun was about to go out of the frontier and hit it off. However, Li Fengyun could not get the support of food and grass weapons, and could only die on his own after going out of the frontier.

This is the fatal key. Li Fengyun's strategy of entering and leaving the frontier seems to be high-sounding and of great significance, but in fact, the core is only one, which requires the support of food and grass weapons. Pei Shiju saw through it at a glance, refused at once, and also dug a "pit" for Li Fengyun without mercy.

If Li Fengyun doesn't jump down and fall into Pei Shiju's wish, you will stay in the Great Wall, be dependent and surrender, and honestly help the King of Qi to guard the northern border, otherwise he will be killed by the Guards. On the contrary, if you have to jump down, in the dilemma of no food and grass inside and no rescuers outside, you will be a lamb to be slaughtered, and the enemy outside the frontier is a group of hungry wild wolves, swarming and killing on all sides, and in a blink of an eye, there will be no corpse left.

Li Fengyun sighed bitterly. He was too naive and thought that with his strength, he could influence the situation to a certain extent and find an opportunity to save Middle-earth. However, the facts were cruel. Now the opportunity is right in front of him, but he couldn't catch it. On the contrary, he even put himself in a bigger predicament.
