Text Chapter 2011 This Thief Has Great Ambitions

Why they colluded together is a bit difficult to explain. After all, they are fighting each other. Wei Shu was a little hesitant.

Xiahou Tuo didn't rush him. He squinted his eyes slightly while chewing the river delicacies and sipping the wine.

After Wei Shu thought about it briefly, he said relentingly: "The third master may be worried that the second master has murderous intentions towards him."

Xiahoutuo chewed the food and said in a slightly muffled voice: "Now you understand why Niu Youde was so calm and calm in the first place? Because Niu Youde was sure that the second and third children would not pee in the same pot, and he was sure that the third child would follow. He cooperates and will not cooperate with his second son to turn against him.”

Wei Shu couldn't help but sigh, "Third Master is so confused!"

"Confused?" Xiahou Tuo shook his head: "Since I can put the third child in that position, I know who the third child is. Unless I am sure that the second child will kill him, he will not collude with outsiders to protect himself. Just because I know Lao San, here comes the problem. Lao San should know that it would be difficult for Lao San to touch him at that time based on his power, and Lao San would not dare to show his murderous intention and force Lao San to jump over the wall. So what about Lao San? Why did the third child immediately collude with Niu Youde after confirming that he was going to kill him? Why did the third child eagerly collude with outsiders to fight against the family? "

Wei Shu realized something and said in a deep voice: "It must be because the Third Master has received reliable information and is convinced that the Second Master wants to kill him!"

Xiahou Tuo: "If you think about Niu Youde's calmness when facing the second child, don't you think it's suspicious?"

Wei Shu was shocked: "Niu Youde must have done something!"

Xiahou Tuo took a sip of wine and swallowed the remnants in his mouth, "So I was thinking about where the source of the information that the third child was convinced that the second child wanted to kill him came from. If it was provided to the third child by an outsider, the third child would definitely have doubts. After all, he is an outsider. How could he be so easily captured by outsiders after he has been in charge of Xinyi Pavilion for many years? So the most likely source of information is someone within the family who has done something about it. Someone within the family can make the third child confident. , the relationship between these three made me have to target Lao Liu who is by Niu Youde’s side.”

Wei Shu was more and more surprised, "Sixth Master has been exposed?"

Xia Houtuo: "I sorted out Lao Liu's situation around Niu Youde. At first glance, it seemed that he was not exposed, but upon closer inspection, you will find that Lao Liu was isolated from the Netherworld Governor's Mansion most of the time and was run by Xu Tangran. In Juxian Hall, Niu Youde never let Lao Liu control any military power from the beginning. He was secretly guarding Lao Liu from the beginning. Then I realized that maybe Lao Liu had been exposed from the beginning. So I was thinking about Lao Liu. How Liu was exposed is not a trivial matter. If the secret layout of the Xiahou family can be easily dug out, it would be fine. The possibility of Lao Liu himself being exposed is very small. I suspect there is something wrong with Lao Liu. I will sort out Lao Liu again. A problem arose in the relationship between Liu and the Netherworld Governor's Mansion. The Juxian Hall run by Niu Youde, Lao Liu's gang, was basically running in the same direction as the Xiahou family that Lao Liu was originally running. Only then did I realize that Niu Youde was very It is possible that he not only saw through Lao Liu's identity, but also knew what aspects Lao Liu controlled in the Xiahou family. Lao Liu must have done something to win Niu Youde's trust. Niu Youde was simply taking advantage of Lao Liu's resources. Expand financial avenues and accumulate financial resources for him.”

Wei Shu took a breath, "This thief is so insidious!"

Xiahou Tuo: "If Lao Liu was exposed in this relationship, and it was exposed from the beginning... I followed this direction and noticed the Xinghai Alliance that made Juxian Hall suddenly rise in the first place, and I was ready to start from scratch. After combing through it backwards, the problem was found. It was found that Chu Antian, the leader of the Xinghai Alliance, was not willing to be controlled. He secretly hid his wife and children, leaving a way out for himself. Since he had to comb through it carefully. , Naturally, I had to investigate carefully and not let go of any doubts. I immediately ordered people to secretly take Chu Antian for strict interrogation, and dug out the truth from Chu Antian. It turned out that Chu Antian had supernatural powers and could follow the body's movements. Chu Antian didn't dare to expose this, but he knew that Xu Tangran was eyeing the Xinghai Alliance in order to expand the Juxian Hall. The men and horses used all means to control Chu Antian's wife and children. Chu Antian secretly took refuge in Xu Tangran, and the secret fell into Xu Tangran's hands. The rest of the matter was simple. Lao Liu happened to go to the ghost market to seek refuge. When Niu Youde saw the list, how could he not understand the spies who had sneaked into the Xiahou family? "

Wei Shu was already accustomed to the old man's ability with such precise tracing capabilities. Without this ability, how could he have built a huge Xiahou family single-handedly. What really surprised Wei Shu was the old man's ability to control the Xiahou family. The old man secretly investigated these things, but the people here didn't even notice at all.

He suspected that Xiahou Tuo had used the clan elders' association's hidden power within the family.

Naturally, he would not say this out loud, and he said bitterly, "This Chu Antian has ruined a big thing, and we can't let him off lightly!"

Xiahou Tuo waved his chopsticks and said, "He can't help himself. Now that he has been found on his head, he has no other choice but to return to Xiahou's family again. There is no need to touch him anymore and keep him." , don’t alert the enemy, leave a counter-attack piece there, it may play a greater role in the future, which is more interesting.”

"So Niu Youde pretended not to know the identity of the Sixth Master, and secretly used the Sixth Master to drive a wedge between several masters. Did the Third Master fall into Niu Youde's trap?" Wei Shu asked.

Xiahou Tuo nodded, "The third child was forced to have no choice but to cooperate with Niu Youde in order to protect himself. Little did he know that he was forced to a dead end and was riding a tiger with difficulty. From the moment he cooperated with Niu Youde, the second child would not be able to let him go after knowing about it, no. If he dies, the second child will die, and one of them will eventually die." After saying this, he calmly sipped his wine.

Wei Shu looked at him with a sad face, stared at him for a while, and asked: "Master, since you already knew it, why didn't you remind him in time?"

Xiahou Tuo chewed in his mouth, "As I said before, I didn't want to get involved in these things. If the demon monk Nan Bo hadn't been reborn, I wouldn't have told you this, and you wouldn't have appeared in front of me now. In fact, in our hearts They all understand that after my death, no matter who takes the position of head of the family, they will have to find a way to control the power of the Xiahou family. fratricide is inevitable. I can stop it for a while, but if I can't stop it for the rest of my life, someone will be killed in the end. The consequences of intervention will only make their resentment deepen, and the consequences of suppression will be more violent. I can't be emotional. It is their luck and misfortune to be born in such a family. "

Wei Shu didn't know whether he should call him heartless, so he asked, "What do you mean, Master, is it dangerous for the Second Master to go to the Netherworld Governor's Mansion this time?"

Xiahou Tuoluo raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Don't you think there's no danger?"

Wei Shu: "Does he dare to kill the head of the Xiahou family? Even Master Qing would not dare to do this!"

Xiahou Tuo: "That's because Master Qing doesn't know the conflict between their brothers, can't figure out the strength of the second brother, and doesn't know the integration of strength within the Xiahou family. Otherwise, do you think Master Qing will miss this opportunity? Niu Youde This secret meddler knows it all, haven’t you noticed that those rumors are aimed at the third child? Niu Youde is trying to force the third child to seize power!”

Wei Shu was puzzled: "Second Master also suspected that Niu Youde spread those rumors, but the old slave couldn't figure out how Niu Youde knew that we knew about his relationship with Liudao and spread these rumors. Could it be that Third Master Revealed?"

Xiahou Tuo sighed: "The third child will not destroy the foundation of the Xiahou family. If he didn't even have this bottom line, I wouldn't have put him in that position. As for how Niu Youde knew, there are only two reasons. , firstly, there was a traitor within the family, and secondly, Niu Youde had a capable person, and we showed our flaws and others saw it. Now looking back on Niu Youde's rise and doing research, he was passive during his time in Tianjie. There are many situations, and most of the time, I rely on adapting to circumstances, which seems to be more in line with Niu Youde's personality. However, after arriving in the ghost market, he seems to have always grasped the general trend and rarely made mistakes in the general direction, so I am more He prefers to have a master strategist by his side to guide him. From the second child being deceived by him to taking down Ying Jiuguang, to using that girl Chengyu to gain a firm foothold in the Netherworld, and now to the plan to get rid of the second child, This series of movements has a cause and effect. It is clear that a master has set up a series of traps. People who can use such methods are not simple-minded. It is not surprising that they can see the flaws. Of course, a traitor cannot be ruled out. I'm already investigating this matter and haven't found anything suspicious so far."

Wei Shu still found it difficult to understand, "Isn't Niu Youde very stable now? With his troops and self-respect, and Hao Defang as a barrier, I'm afraid even Lord Qing wouldn't dare to touch him rashly, why would he make such a move? What good will it do to him if he forces the second master and the third master to kill each other?"

“Sure?” , it is better to find the right opportunity to strike first! The birth of the demon monk Nanbo has attracted the attention of the world, which just covers up his little tricks. With his current strength, how can the ghost market of Lao San satisfy his appetite? The ghost market is just for show. He can eat the meat in his mouth whenever he wants. It doesn't matter to him at all, and it's not worth his effort. Then it's obvious who the main target is. Whoever blocks his way, he will get rid of. , He will bite whoever is the fat one in front of him, and whoever is closest to him will be unlucky. Hao Defang has protected Niu Youde for so many years, and he is afraid that he will attract the wolf into the house! "

Wei Shu was shocked and said: "Niu Youde wants to occupy Hao Defang's territory? Isn't it overestimating his capabilities to try to swallow up Hao Defang's territory based on his strength?"

"What if we can get the full help of the Xiahou family?" Xiahou Tuo said lightly and raised his glass to drink.

Wei Shu sat up straight in an instant, suddenly enlightened, and finally understood why Niu Youde started rumors to stir up the matter. He was shocked and said: "This thief has such great ambitions!" (To be continued.) 8
