"So, you still blame me?" Yang Zhan said with a smile.

"No, Lord Shu, what I mean is, don't believe Wu Sangui. Xingming's quest for prisoners is just a pawn of his. I've been there, I understand. Anyone in his situation wants to be the emperor.

Wasn't that what I was like at the beginning? I ruled the roost, held a large number of troops, and kept my word. If I was not the emperor, over time, I would be destroyed by those who wanted to be the emperor. Power makes people crazy, and power drives people to a dead end. I believe Wu Sangui

People are all fools, or they are obsessed with things. Just watch, it won't take long for this gang of rabble to collapse, and Wu Sangui will not be able to make a difference!" Sun Kewang couldn't restrain his excitement.

Lan Lan said: "If you don't help him, then you are going to kill him?"

"No, no, no, Ma Nuxia, I'm not interested in killing people anymore. I'm just going to watch the fun."

Yang Zhan teased: "I think you are just trying to block me, right? Are you worried about the treasures you have hidden?"

Sun Kewang spread his hands and said, "Nothing can be hidden from the Lord of Shu! To be honest, I'm afraid that you would give those treasures to Wu Sangui. That would be a pity!"

"Are you afraid that I gave it to him? Are you going to leave the mountain?" Yang Zhan asked tentatively.

"How is that possible? Lord Shu, please don't tempt me. I live in this temple, and even though I have not been ordained, I have long since devoted myself to the Buddha and have not cared about worldly affairs. I will never take those treasures. Since Lord Shu

If you are dedicated to serving the people, help us return it to the people of Shu, which can be regarded as atonement for my father and the Western Army."

Sun Kewang took a sip of tea and said again: "I brought you here, and there is one more thing I want to ask in person."

"Is it about Ainengqi?" Lan Lan asked first.

"Yes, I heard that it was the Lord of Shu who knocked him off the cliff. I also heard that he was shot by someone from the old Daxi Army. What is the truth?" Sun Kewang's voice suddenly became hoarse.

Yang Zhan was in a dilemma. He had to tell him the truth. Huang Hu's magical thing was indeed unbelievable. Moreover, in the final analysis, Ai Nengqi's last blood was sucked by Huang Hu. If he didn't tell the truth, it would be difficult to get over this matter.

.

Besides, if Huang Hu's soul can find Ai Nengqi and Feng Shuangli, it is possible that it can find Sun Kewang.

He took a breath and decided to tell the truth.

After listening to his narration, Sun Kewang's nose and tears came out. He couldn't help crying for a while and sighed: "My father is so miserable, my brother is so miserable!"

Lan Lan said in surprise: "Ai Nengqi is indeed miserable. He died due to his father's plan, and even used his own blood to resurrect him. However, Huang Hu lost his humanity and became a demon. How can he be miserable?

?”

Sun Kewang cried: "Ma Nuxia, you have always followed the right path, so you cannot understand people who have become possessed by demons. My father has never lived a normal life since he was introduced to the path of demons by his master, Monk Jingguang. He died.

Finally, I thought he was finally freed. I never thought that he was so deeply possessed that he still refuses to look back. I could imagine the dark world he was in, his roars, and his struggles.

A pain that no one else can understand."

Yang Zhan put his hand on his shoulder, "So, you want to help him like Ai Nengqi?"

"No," Sun Kewang shook his head in pain, "He knows that I won't help him, so he never comes to me. If he comes to me, I will only help him to be saved."

"Okay, I'll teach you how to help him achieve salvation." Yang Zhan said enthusiastically, "You can set up a stage at Caoxi Temple. I'll make a list for you and prepare the ritual objects according to the list. Then invite twelve monks.

Chanting sutras day and night. The most important thing is that you should meditate on the platform to attract his soul."

Sun Kewang was doubtful, "My father has a strong will. If I attract his soul here and he controls me instead, it will be difficult to handle."

"So, those twelve monks must be eminent monks. When I get back, I will hand over this task to Master Miaofeng of Mount Emei. He is my master and will help you."

Sun Kewang still had concerns, "They won't directly send my father to the eighteenth level of hell when the time comes, right?"

Lan Lan quickly comforted him: "The eminent monk can only save people, how can he harm others? Since you have such filial piety, they will help you. I suggest that we help Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu to save themselves together."

Sun Kewang was overjoyed, "Yes, yes, with Dingguo and Wenxiu accompanying me, my father will feel more at ease."

This matter is settled.

Yang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. This trip was finally worthwhile. Not only did he find out Wu Sangui's background, reached an agreement with him, but he also found a solution to Huang Hu's hidden worries in Sun Kewang.

Lan Lan was a careful person and asked Sun Kewang in a casual tone, "Do you know why Ai Nengqi went back to Fenghuang Mountain to plant bargrass?"

Sun Kewang's heart suddenly sank. He couldn't tell the truth because he wanted to preserve the bones of his father, Zhang Xianzhong. However, the grass all over the mountains and plains was too scary, which meant...

"I don't know what he did for it, but since Neng Qi was controlled by his father's soul at that time, it's definitely not a good thing. I suggest you destroy the grass he planted."

After Yang Zhan and Lan Lan left Caoxi Temple the next day, they planned to return to Pingxi Palace to say goodbye to Wu Sangui, but they heard a shocking news on the way.

Wu Sangui killed Zhu Guozhi, the governor sent to Yunnan by the Qing court, in advance, claiming that "the whole country is recruiting generals of soldiers and horses", and started a rebellion. A large number of troops were mobilized in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the vanguard was heading to Huguang in batches.

"Lan'er, let's split up. You go back to Emei quickly and ask Jian Kuan to issue the Shujiang Order. He orders Liang Yue in eastern Sichuan and Luo Weiji in northern Sichuan to organize troops to block the border. No matter which side it is, no soldiers will be released.

The soldiers entered Sichuan. I will go to the palace again to find out the generals Wu Sangui is planning to pass through Sichuan and draw up a marching route with them."

Lan Lan flew away with a head of white hair. Yang Zhan looked at her back, feeling inexplicably sad.

What is supposed to come has come. Shu Kingdom and Shu people, I, Yang Zhan, have tried my best.

He couldn't stop Wu Sangui, and he was unwilling to put the Shu people to death. He could only survive for the Shu people in his own way.

At this moment, Wu Sangui was in high spirits and did not want to waste any more words, so he made arrangements as Yang Zhan intended.

After finishing all the affairs, Yang Zhan hurried back to Jiading and walked to the Jinsha River, where he was picked up by Gao Chengen.

"Cheng'en, what's the matter?"

Gao Chengen whistled, and hundreds of brothers from the Shujiang League emerged from the mountain cliffs by the river. Yang Zhan burst into tears. It turned out that they had been waiting here for a long time, ready to respond to him at any time.

"Cheng'en, you came just in time. Wu Sangui has already rebelled. From now on, you can't leave anyone by the Jinsha River for a moment. You should observe the trends on the Yunnan side at any time and don't let any soldiers enter Sichuan. Moreover, you also have a major task.

, transporting gold, silver, and materials to Wu Sangui."

"Ah, Lord of Shu, are we going to rebel with him?" Gao Chengen's eyes darkened. Over the years, under the influence of Yang Zhan, he also strongly rejected war.
