"Of course, what Lord Basten said is not unreasonable, but after we control Derlock, we can free up our hands and try to keep both of them balanced strength. In the end, no one should have an absolute advantage. In this way, it is in our interests. I think on this point, the Pooles and the Sisro people should be consistent with us, and in action, they should also be consistent with us." Gomez added.

"Prime Minister, do you think Qin Mu will participate in this operation?" Duke Maili finally asked the question he had been worried about, "If he also sent troops into the Kansai area, how should we deal with it?"

"Duke Maley asked well, this is also a question that has always troubled me. Qin Mu is too cunning. Once the Central Plains is in chaos, with his personality, he will not intervene. The question is how deep he is to intervene? Should he gain some practical benefits, or take the opportunity to compete with the Central Plains?"

"I have analyzed this for a long time. I feel that under the current situation, as long as the orthodox dynasty of the Great Qin Empire has not yet collapsed, he will not enter the Central Plains in large quantities. After all, the Zhao family has been in the footsteps for thousands of years. The people of the Central Plains, especially the upper class, still have certain feelings for the Zhao family. Moreover, if they really want to enter the Central Plains, their strength is still weaker. We have occupied Jiayuguan, and the Jiama area is also in our hands, and they can also restrain their strength at any time. Now the Xisluo people are stationed in the north of Lishan County, which will also drag some of his troops. So I think once the war breaks out, he will not be able to control the situation in the entire Central Plains for the time being."

Obviously, Gomez also had a deep consideration of Qin Mu's actions and made arrangements in various aspects. In addition, he had some ideas that he had not expressed. Qin Mu was like a tiger out of the gate. If he was not careful, he would cause serious harm to himself. He had to prepare more hands to deal with it.

But people are counting tigers, and tigers are counting humans. Can Qin Mu stay in the northwest obediently? Will the few pieces available in Gomez's hands be useful? This can only be proved by the wheels of history.

The most prosperous Xidu Avenue in Tianshui Prefecture City, Ziyun Pavilion, the three-story building, is the most famous restaurant in Tianshui Prefecture City. Next to it is the largest gold-selling cave in Tianshui Prefecture City - Qinglianyuan.

A group of men in black sat silently in a secret room in Qinglian courtyard, as if waiting for something. Especially the middle-aged man sitting at the door, although he was masked with a black scarf, he could not hide the anxious look in his eyes.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and recently there was a woman with a brocade. The man in black scarf was overjoyed when he saw it. He suddenly stood up and followed the woman with a brocade out of the door. There was a murmur outside the door.

"Has you confirmed?" It was the voice of the man in black scarf masked.

"Well, there is no problem. I saw them in with my own eyes." It should be the voice of the woman in brocade.

"Then where is the best place for us to ambush?" the man in black scarf asked in a deep voice.

Next was a vague conversation. In a bag of cigarettes, a man in black scarf masked walked in like a gust of wind. With a wave of his hand, all the men in black who were sitting indoors quickly got up and came out one after another, and soon disappeared into the yard.

In the largest private room on the second floor of Yunting, a tall and thin old man in the main seat raised his glasses frequently. He clinked glasses with seven or eight plainclothes men at the same table. Although several men were dressed in casual clothes, several of them could not hide their fierce military temperament.

"Come on, come on, I wish you another cup. You will set off for the journey to the west tomorrow. I wish you all the best and have a good time!" The old man stood up and raised his glass and drank it all.

The remaining few people also stood up and picked up their wine glasses. At this moment, a huge change suddenly occurred.

The windows on the east side all broke in an instant, and the shadows of the window flashed, accompanied by a loud "crash", followed by a chilling "bang bang bang" sound. Locust-like crossbow arrows immediately enveloped the entire room.

Two of the people sitting around the table were very quick to react. One of them raised the round table and sat down violently, causing one to roll sideways and roll into the corner of the wall, and then brought the sitting brocade stool to block the face. The powerful crossbow arrow shot on the table and stool, making a harsh sound. The others were not so lucky, especially the three people facing the window were shot like hedgehogs on the spot, and one person next to him was also shot in the shoulder by a slow arrow.

The tall and thin old man was lucky. He was blocked by the crossbow arrows by the erected original table, and his body fell to the ground, "Come on, there is an assassin!" The shrill cry made people shudder.

Before the soldiers outside the door rushed in, the black figures had already covered the collapsed windows, and they flew in in a flash, and the sound of chopping was filled with ears. The soldiers guarding the door were also very sensitive to the reaction and broke into the door before they could open the door. However, the narrow space restricted their performance. Before they could pounce, the man in black had already controlled the entire scene. Five of the eight people fell in a pool of blood at a table, and they could not survive. The other two were also flying flesh and blood, in danger. Fortunately, the soldiers rushed to block the crazy attack of the man in black regardless of life and death. The superior soldiers who followed the advancing soon gained the advantage, and the guards who received the news quickly surrounded the entire restaurant.

The entire battle did not last long, and the men in black paid a heavy price surrounded by the army. Except for a few people who escaped, the rest were either killed in battle or seriously injured and captured. But when the soldiers held the captured people, the black blood from the corners of their mouths also declared the end of their lives.

That night, Tianshui was martial law in the whole city and suspicious people were searched.

Looking at Qin Mu's sleeping face, Situ Qingqing's rapid pace couldn't help but slow down. It seemed that Ailang was indeed too tired. Should he wait and wait again? In recent days, both Gu Dengyun's intelligence department in the Kansai area and the intelligence network arranged by the Northwest Intelligence Agency in Kansai have noticed the abnormality in the entire Kansai area, and even the governments of various Kansai prefectures have noticed it. The entire Kansai six prefectures seem to be thinking of a restless big powder barrel. Whoever touches it gently may stir up smoke in the sky.
