When he said these words, Mu Changan acted extremely forcefully.
Yan Yan didn't speak or even refute, she just stared at Mu Chang'an for a long time before looking back.
But the look between his brows still looked cold, and there was only indifference on his face, but not a trace of smile.
"Well said! Exterminate demons and defend the Tao! You are worthy of being a Taoist master of the Five Pecks of Rice!"
After saying this, he immediately looked back, his eyes fell on Xiao Wen, looked at the soldiers behind him, and raised his free palm upright.
When his palms were raised, the soldiers behind him spread out, leaving a passage for Xiao Wen and others to pass through.
"General, please."
Hearing this, Xiao Wen was not polite and drove Feitianhu to walk out through the passage left by Yan Yan.
After Xiao Wen and others set off, Yan Yan followed Xiao Wen with a few soldiers and escorted Xiao Wen to Shangyong County.
Halfway through, Dian Wei stood beside Xiao Wen, holding a Xuanling halberd, with a bit of anger on his face, obviously very dissatisfied with what Yan Yan did.
Logically speaking, I and others came here to help the people here solve the troubles. The army did not do anything, and they came to do good things for the army.
As a result, in the end, instead of thanking themselves, these guys treated their lord like this?
Like this, anyone who sees it will feel angry in their heart.
Of course, besides being angry, Dian Wei still had some doubts in his heart: How could these guys control the timing so well?
Just after I and my lord finished dealing with the bandits on the mountain, those guys came over?
If you slow down for even half an hour, you might be gone by yourself.
Seeing Dian Wei's look in his eyes, Xiao Wen explained: "Or the general can change his mind. For example, the man sitting in Shangyong County has been paying attention to us. After all, others may not know our whereabouts.
I know, but Leader Zhang understands it in his heart."
"Moreover, Liu Zhoumu is his direct superior. Although he is new to Yizhou, he still has a lot of power in his hands. If Wu Dou Mi Road wants to survive forever, it still needs the care of this official."
"The general will understand all this after a little thought."
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei immediately frowned, with a hint of anger on his face: "General, you mean that person betrayed us?"
"There is this possibility, but there is also a second possibility, that is, this leader Zhang did not betray us, but this group of bandits has always been under the sight of the state pastor."
"After all, it is not easy to hide things in Yizhou from that person. Moreover, when I was on the mountain, I noticed some movement on the mountain road nearby. Although it was very faint, I did notice it."
"If my general guess is correct, it should be the Mo family's mechanism technique. And behind it, it should be Liu Zhoumu. Only in this way can we explain how the old general Yan arrived in such timely manner."
Xiao Wen spoke slowly, but when he said these words, he did not control his volume at all.
Even after he finished speaking, he deliberately looked back at Yan Yan, waiting for the other party's reply.
Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Yan Yan's eyes, and she was shocked.
Just as Xiao Wen's second guess was, they had already focused on this cottage early on.
It was just because of some reasons that we needed to put in a long line to catch big fish, so we kept them instead of eradicating them.
The movement that Xiao Wen noticed before was from the "rat hunting" of the Mohist organ technique.
"Rat-seeking" is a mechanism recently developed by the Mo family. It is named because of its small size and resemblance to a mouse. Because it is a mechanism creation, the power fluctuations in it are almost zero, so it is difficult to be discovered. It is mainly used for intelligence detection.
.
Moreover, in the position of its two eyeballs, there are an image stone and a sound transmission stone respectively inlaid.
The sound transmission stone can only be used for a distance of one mile, while the image recording stone can only leave a picture for half a day.
These two things are precious materials collected by Liu Yan. In order to conquer a descendant of the Mohist family, he just took them out and gave them to him, thus obtaining the "Rat Hunt".
This time I was staring at the cottage because this place is very special and must be monitored at all times, so I borrowed this thing from Liu Yan.
Yan Yan was also surprised when she saw Xiao Wen.
He had seen Xiao Wen's portrait in Liu Yan's mansion before and heard his lord talking about some things about Xiao Wen. Naturally, he was quite afraid of the newly promoted hussar general in the imperial court.
However, it's more of jealousy than fear.
Yan Yan is also considered a veteran general. He has been on the battlefield for decades, and now he is just a lieutenant general under his lord.
But what about that kid?
Compared with Yan Yan, he was just a fledgling boy. He actually won a few battles on his own and was favored by the emperor, and was given the position of General of Hussars.
However, this guy’s military merit and virtue are far from worthy of this official title!
Yan Yan was naturally angry.
If he is angry in his heart, he will not give Xiao Wen a good look.
Moreover, Yan Yan was not the only general who was angry with him. Most of the generals in the court were straightforward and straightforward, so they couldn't see the truth clearly, so they fell in love with Xiao Wen.
In response, Xiao Wen could only shrug helplessly.
In this case, what can he do?
Just enjoy it with peace of mind.
Back to the subject, Yan Yan was surprised when she heard Xiao Wen's words. She clamped her legs on the horse's belly, and the horse's speed became faster than before. When she came to Xiao Wen's side, her eyes fell on Xiao Wen and her eyes narrowed slightly.
He said coldly:
"The general is more meticulous than the general imagined. As the general said, my lord has already discovered the traces of the bandits. He just wanted to fish for a big fish for a long time, but he did not expect that the general would suddenly arrive.
, disrupted the original plan, we can only choose to take action."
Seeing Yan Yan admitting, Xiao Wen nodded, the calm expression on his face did not change at all, he just stretched, yawned, and replied: "It seems that the old general is still missing some extremely important information.
"
"How do you say this?" Yan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, lowered her voice and asked.
"Is the big fish mentioned by the old general the Wuliang Sect? Or is it the hidden force behind the Wuliang Sect that belongs to the imperial court?"
"The latter." Yan Yan replied.
"So General Yan probably doesn't know that the forces behind the Wuliang Sect, in addition to the forces of the imperial court, are also witchcraft and Gu masters belonging to the Southern Xinjiang lineage, right?"
"Witch masters sneaked into Yizhou all the way from southern Xinjiang, and also supported a sect with impure intentions such as the Wuliang Sect, and joined forces with the imperial forces hidden in Yizhou to dig coal mines."
"I wonder how General Yan views this matter?" Xiao Wen looked at Yan Yan and asked.
Yan Yan didn't speak now.
In other words, when Xiao Wen pointed out the existence of the witch and Gu master, a look of shock appeared on Yan Yan's face. Apparently, he never thought that there was a witch and Gu master hidden behind the Wuliang Sect!
With or without the intervention of a witch and Gu master, this matter is completely of two natures.
The witch and Gu master represents southern Xinjiang.
Once Southern Xinjiang intervenes, it will not be a matter of power and profit among the official factions in the region, but a matter of survival of the entire China!
Although the Han Dynasty declined, as long as they are in China and the royal power does not collapse, they, the people of China and the descendants of Yan and Huang, will not allow foreigners to set foot on the land of China!
This is the bottom line for the emperor, and it is also the bottom line for these Han clan members.
"Is this true? The general should know that this kind of thing is no joke!" Yan Yan looked at Xiao Wen with a serious face and asked solemnly.
"Of course it's true. If the old general doesn't believe it, he can ask you how to make five buckets of rice."
When he finished speaking, Yan Yan tilted his head and his eyes fell on Mu Changan, with some doubts in his eyes.
When he looked over, Mu Changan didn't hesitate at all and nodded immediately, agreeing with what Xiao Wen had just said.
The villagers in the deep mountains have been poisoned, and the witch master in the village here.
Both of these indicate the existence of witchcraft and Gu masters in Hanzhong.
Moreover, from Qiu Lu's inquiries, he also got some useful and even secret information.
However, that part of the news was buried deep in his heart and he did not tell anyone.
"It seems that things are becoming more and more complicated nowadays. Things are going to change in Yizhou!"
Yan Yan sighed with emotion, feeling something was wrong in her heart. She immediately looked at Xiao Wen, bowed her hands, and said: "What the general said is of great importance. We must speed up our journey next."
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Wen replied, and then several people rushed to Shangyong County.
In Shangyong County, the state pastor was sitting cross-legged and meditating in the county office, with his five hearts pointing toward the sky.
Opposite the Master Zhou Mu, there was a beautiful woman wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist bun on her head.
This beautiful woman is none other than Zhang Lu's mother.
Although Zhang's mother is not young, she is proficient in the art of immortality. Even though she is over fifty, she is still young.
At the beginning, when Liu Yan came to Yizhou, he heard someone mention that there was a dragon spirit looming here, and he was an official here, or he might have the opportunity to touch the master's position.
Therefore, Liu Yan just came here with his whole family and his old Youzhou tribe.
After all, in terms of wealth, Yizhou cannot compare with other places.
And he came here for the "Dragon Qi" and "Dragon Veins".
However, when I first arrived in Yizhou, I didn't know where the dragon energy was. After searching all the way, I found this Zhang Mu.
Seeing his face and knowing his age, he was shocked. He immediately regarded this man as a master of Taoism, and often invited him into his mansion to teach Taoism in person.
After going back and forth, although Liu Yan did not enter the Taoist sect, he still had some skills in cultivating Qi.
The reason why he came to Shangyong County this time was because he heard Zhang's mother say that there was a vague dragon's energy here, and the dragon's energy he was looking for might be here.
After hearing the news, Liu Yan rushed here with Yan Yan and sent Yan Yan out to find the place where the dragon energy was. This led to the meeting between Yan Yan and Xiao Wen mentioned above.
"Your Majesty, your heart is not at peace today." Mother Zhang's eyes fell on Liu Yan and she said slowly.
Hearing this, Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, but did not refute. Instead, he nodded and replied: "What the Immortal Chief said is that he just received news from General Yan that an uninvited guest has arrived in Hanzhong."
"Oh? I wonder who that uninvited guest is? How could he make you so worried?" Mother Zhang raised her eyebrows slightly and asked slightly in surprise.
"To be the hussar general whom I personally professed, to kill the upstart Taiping Taoist with a single halberd, and to be half a man in the world of mortals!"
"So, Sir, are you worried that the person who came here also received the news and came for the dragon energy, and will become your competitor?"
Zhang's mother had a delicate heart. When Liu Yan said those words, she could guess what he was worried about.
Today, although the emperor's condition is covered up by many people, there are still many people who know about it.
Liu Yan is one of them.
Liu Yan knew about it, and naturally his confidant Zhang Mu also knew about it.
The fate of the Han Dynasty was cut off, and it was only a matter of time before the Han Dynasty was destroyed.
Now, we just have to wait and see how long the person in the palace can last.
Once that one person falls, the entire Han regime will inevitably fall apart in a short period of time.
Although the dragon energy in Yizhou cannot save the man whose building is about to collapse, it can delay this period of time.
In other words, it means being able to extend the life of the person in the palace.
Although it cannot cure the root cause, it can help it live longer.
In addition, Xiao Wenwen was deeply loved by everyone in the palace, otherwise he would not have made an exception and directly promoted him to the rank of Cavalry General.
Since this person came to Yizhou, does it mean that he came for the dragon's energy and wanted to use the dragon's energy to extend the emperor's life?
If this is the case, then they are really irreconcilable!
However, that guy was a close official of the emperor and a new member of the imperial court. Liu Yan really didn't want to confront him unless he had to.
"The immortal's words are what worries me." Liu Yan sighed.
Hearing this, Zhang's mother chuckled, causing Liu Yan to look sideways, looked at Zhang's mother, frowned slightly, lowered his voice and asked:
"Why is the immortal laughing?"
"The poor man laughs at you for your unfounded worries, which will only increase your troubles."
"What's the explanation for this?" Liu Yan became more and more puzzled, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only wait for Zhang's mother to answer.
"Let me ask you, sir, do you still remember what Pindao said to you earlier?"
"Of course I remember!"
"In that case, sir, do you still remember how to collect dragon energy?"
"Naturally, they are royal nobles and have the blood of the great ancestor. Non-clan relatives are not allowed to take it..."
At this point, Liu Yan's voice stopped suddenly, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his face, and then the expression of astonishment turned clear, and there was even a bit of joy, and a bit of calmness that revealed the truth.
Yes, if you want to obtain dragon energy, you must be someone who is destined to be the emperor. But such people are rare in the world and are rare to see in a hundred years.
Apart from this, there are only the bloodline of the great ancestor and the descendants of the clan.
That guy, no matter how high his official position is, is just a "butler". Even if the dragon energy is in front of him, he can't take it away.
You ask, what if that person is destined to be the emperor and takes on the dragon spirit?
That's naturally possible.
Let me ask, a general with great power is suspected to have the destiny of the emperor and may become the next great ancestor.
Once such news is spread back to the imperial city, what will be the result in the ears of the emperor?
I hope the scene will be extremely exciting when the time comes!
"Chief Immortal, Liu Yan has been taught!"
Liu Yan cupped his hands and spoke.
At this moment, all the haze in his heart was gone, and his mind was clear and clear.
At this moment, there was an announcement outside the door.
"Report!"
"explain."
"General Yan Yan is back with General Hussar and has something important to report!"
