Weizhou, a remote house, at this moment, the lights were bright, and several black shadows quickly swept into the house, "Sir..."
After the Forbidden Dragon Guard who reported the information left, Chongguang walked out of the house. He was only wearing a single coat in the cold weather. From the loose skirt, you could see the gauze bandaging his shoulders, with faint traces of blood dripping out.
In front of the desk, Yin Wuyan put the letter in his hand in front of the candle and lit it. Then a cold voice sounded, "How is the injury?"
"The boat capsized in the gutter, but Master Qi, I found that the martial arts skills of that group of people were similar to those of the Huai'an Mansion." Chongguang grinned, pulled up a chair and sat down aside, "It's a pity that they are all dead soldiers, in the end
They all committed suicide by taking poison."
Hearing the words Huai'an Mansion, Yin Wuyan's handsome face turned cold and stern in an instant, and murderous intent flashed across his phoenix eyes.
The matter in Huai'an Mansion was left undisturbed that day. In the final analysis, the Holy Spirit did not want to continue the investigation, fearing that it would lead to undesirable results. After all, Zhan Feiyu was also in danger.
But Gu Qingzhou couldn't get over this matter. Similarly, Yin Wuyan also made a note of it. It's not that he won't retaliate, it's that the time has not yet come!
Chongguang was injured this time. In the final analysis, he was trying to capture these people alive, so he was accidentally injured. He received a sword on the shoulder and was almost shot through by a sharp arrow in the chest.
"Let Xi Qisu lead people to lurk in the sixteen prefectures under the jurisdiction of Longyou Dao." Yin Wuyan stood up and was currently looking at the distribution map of the prefectures of Longyou Dao spread out on the desk.
Unlike the prosperity of Jiangnan, Longyou Road was almost a barren land, but it was also the border of the Daqing Dynasty, with sixteen states under its jurisdiction. In addition to the garrison posts in each state, it was the Seven Guards who really controlled the military power.
Chongguang looked over and said, "Master Qi, the Yang family intends to make good friends. If we reveal a little information, as long as the Holy Emperor revives the Yang family, our people can take at least one-third of the military power of Longyou Road."
At such a critical period, General Yang asked Yang Xu to live with Zhan Feiyu in Qiu Mansion. He was using Zhan Feiyu's name to protect Yang Xu. On the other hand, this was also the Yang family's trust in Zhan Feiyu.
.
There was no wave in the cold phoenix eyes. The military power of Long Youdao, whether they were the ministers in the court or the princes in the palace, all stared at him with red eyes. Only Yin Wuyan remained unmoved.
"The Yang family stayed away from the court. They made friends with Bachelor Gu just to have a helper in the court and not to make the same mistakes again." The cold voice was different from Qiu Jinyu's clear and sweet voice. Every word was as if it had been frozen by ice and snow.
The coldness can spread throughout the body.
Come on, the Seventh Master actually looks down on the Yang family! Chongguang rolled his eyes. As long as the Holy Emperor resurrects the Yang family, it is estimated that all the princes will be scrambling to win over the Yang family. That will be a real military power!
Yin Wuyan continued in a cold voice: "Your Majesty has taken over the Northwest Seventh Guards for eight years and has not won the hearts of the people. Do you think those people will betray easily?"
The merits of the Yang family are the result of the accumulated military exploits of one general and the bloodshed and sacrifice of generations of people in the general's palace. The same loyalty of the old Yang family cannot be shaken by others, including
Today's Holy One.
Therefore, Xiao En Xiaohui will not bribe these people. If he wants to get involved in the military power, he will inevitably conflict with the Yang family. In this case, why should Yin Wuyan support the Yang family? Why not make a way out of it? If the Yang family wants information and information, then give them something in exchange, Tong Sou
No deception!
"So we don't want the military power of Longyou Road?" Chongguang understood the meaning of Yin Wuyan's words, and his eyes stayed on the map again, "Forbidden Dragon Guard only sent people to investigate the intelligence of Longyou Road."
These people are the nails, taking advantage of the turmoil in Longyou Road to lurk. In the future, if there is any trouble in Longyou Road, the news will be sent back to the Forbidden Dragon Guard as soon as possible. This is Yin Wuyan's real purpose.
"The Holy One will be at ease only if he does not touch the military power." Yin Wuyan's eyes were dark and hard to distinguish. Even if the Holy One trusted him, when it comes to military power and the country, this trust will be shaken.
Therefore, Yin Wuyan's trip is also a statement that he has no interest in military power. Only in this way will the Holy Emperor be truly relieved.
Chongguang understood completely and couldn't help laughing, "No wonder the fat girl dared to use the Forbidden Dragon Guard's token to order Dou Hanhai to arrest people. This shows that she is fearless and has the style of our Forbidden Dragon Guard."
If the Seventh Master does not interfere with military power, then the Forbidden Dragon Guards can act openly and justly, and be upright without desires.
Under the candlelight, the originally cold and handsome face softened in an instant, and Yin Wuyan could imagine the little girl holding the token to bully others.
"Those people dare to attack Yang Xu. The reputation of Master Gu cannot stop them." Yin Wuyan's voice was inexplicably arrogant. At the critical moment, the Forbidden Dragon Guard was still reliable.
Thinking of the notoriety of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, Chongguang burst out laughing, "A fat girl can open a dyeing workshop just by giving her some color. Haha, I guess she can definitely walk sideways in Weizhou now!"
The person Zhan Feiyu caught was Zhang Yiyi, Zhenbianhou's bedfellow. The effect of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys was definitely a good one.
The little girl is best at assessing the situation, which is why Yin Wuyan was relieved that she was alone outside. However, thinking of the situation on Longyou Road, Yin Wuyan wrote another secret letter and sent it out. No matter what, the little girl's safety is the most important!
…
The news of Zhang Yiyi's arrest was also immediately sent back to the Zhenbian Hou Mansion.
"Father." Even though he had already fallen asleep, upon hearing the summons from the Marquis of Zhenbian, not only the eldest son, but also the two younger brothers below, and four adult grandsons all dressed up and came to the main courtyard.
"Everyone, please sit down." Looking at the arrogant juniors, the Marquis of Zhenbian raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then revealed the news that Zhang Yiyi had been arrested and imprisoned.
"It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Zhan Feiyu is too arrogant!" The young and energetic Zhu San said with a ferocious face: "Grandpa, you are just a yellow-haired girl. Long Youdao dies at the hands of barbarian spies every year.
People don’t know how many there are!”
In contrast to the recklessness and impulsiveness of his third cousin, the 30-year-old Sun Zhusheng, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenbian, spoke in a calm and unhurried manner: "It is precisely because beating a dog depends on the master, Zhan Feiyu is not afraid, but
Behind her is Gu Qingzhou, not to mention that she has an unexplainable relationship with the Forbidden Dragon Guard."
Even though the legitimate sons and grandsons of the Zhenbian Hou Mansion could walk sideways on Longyou Road, their expressions changed when they heard the words "Forbidden Dragon Guard".
Even the arrogant Zhu San's expression was a bit ugly. It was easy to kill Zhan Feiyu, but the subsequent trouble caused by it was something that the Zhenbian Hou Mansion could not afford.
"Grandfather, Your Majesty intends to revive the Yang family for the sake of salt tax. Our Marquis Mansion is already in the most difficult period. If we offend Bachelor Gu and the Forbidden Dragon Guard at this time, it will make things worse." Zhu Zhengrong's words were:
Consider the overall situation and endure the temporary anger for the long-term consideration of Zhenbianhou Mansion.
"Zhengrong, what you said makes sense, but have you ever thought about it. If you can't get over this hurdle, what awaits us in the Marquis' Mansion will be the confiscation of the house and the destruction of the entire family. All considerations of the overall situation and long-term planning are all nonsense." Ci, who is the Marquis of Zhenbian.
The second son, Zhu Lao Er, was jealous of his eldest brother, who was the heir to the throne. Naturally, he also disliked his eldest grandson, Zhu Zhengrong.
As soon as Zhu Lao Er said these words, the atmosphere in the study instantly became tense. Even Zhen Bianhou, who was sitting in the chair, looked unhappy. If you want me to die, I have to die! The end of the Yang family seemed to be that soon.
The fate of the Zhu family in the Marquis Mansion at the edge of the town.
Zhu San couldn't help but complained, "Back then, I said that we would use thunderous means to gather military power. If our Zhu family had military power, how could we be so passive today?"
"That will only make you die faster!" As a brother-in-law, Zhu Laosan is a scholar and his words are harsh, but his words are reasonable.
The sage, Wen Tao, also conducted military campaigns in person. As the sage's uncle, Prince Yu also gave up military power with both hands, and finally became the king of leisure in the capital.
The Marquis of Zhenbian got married to Princess Ren'an back then, but before Princess Ren'an was enthroned as the Great Treasurer, she took refuge with the second prince. The Emperor did not take control of the Marquis of Zhenbian's house, firstly because Princess Ren'an was a female, and
His surname is Yin, and he has royal blood flowing through him.
Secondly, the Holy Sage needed to use the Zhenbian Hou Mansion to restrain the Yang family, especially since the Yang family was later imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy and treason. The Holy Sage supported the Zhenbian Hou Mansion only to temporarily stabilize the border. After the situation stabilized, the northwest
The generals of the Seven Guards are all confidants sent by the Holy One.
If the Zhenbian Marquis Mansion dares to make big moves or wants to gain military power, the Holy Emperor will never be merciful in dealing with it, so the Zhenbian Marquis can only do it slowly.
After all, Longyou Road is far away from the capital. As the saying goes, the foreign emperor will not be able to accept his orders. The Marquis of Zhenbian planned to boil frogs in warm water to continuously erode the military power of Longyou Road.
It's a pity that eight years have passed with little effect. Originally, after another eight years, maybe the Hou Mansion would be successful. Who knew that Zhan Feiyu had come up with a new salt production method, which would lead to the imminent reform of the salt tax. In order to firmly maintain the
In order to control the annual salt tax of up to 50 million yuan, the Yang family had to be restored. The situation of the Marquis Mansion in Zhenbian was not only embarrassing but also dangerous.
"Father." The prince is already over fifty years old. His facial features resemble those of a Zhenbian marquis. His eyes are as sharp as a tiger under his sword-shaped eyebrows. He does not look old at all. He is more powerful than the young generals in the army.
As soon as the prince spoke, not to mention the four juniors, the two younger brothers Zhu Lao Er and Zhu Lao San also sat up straight. The Marquis of Zhenbian valued the eldest son not only because of his age, but also because of the prince's magnanimity, broadmindedness and strategic ability.
"The reason why the Holy One restored the Yang family was not only because of the salt tax, but also because the Holy One was getting older and would eventually have to establish a heir. In eight years, the Holy One could not firmly control the military power of Longyou Road. When the prince or even the new emperor ascended the throne,
Longyou Road is the most unstable factor, and the Holy Spirit's move is just to use the salt tax to favor the Yang family and ensure the stability of Longyou Road."
It has to be said that even though the prince is far away from the capital, he is far better at guessing the holy will than anyone else present, even the Marquis of Zhenbian.
There are nearly 300,000 troops stationed in Longyou Road, and the Seven Guards have a total of 200,000 troops. Once the Yang family has the intention to cause rebellion, even if the foundation of the Daqing Dynasty cannot be shaken, the entire Longyou Road and the east border with Longyou Road
Guandao Road, Zhongguan Road, even Qianzhong Road and Shannan Road will be affected.
"The Yang family has been in decline for eight years. Are all those people sown with the Yang family's poison? They are all dead-set!" Zhu San slammed his fist on the table with resentment. The loyalty of the old members of the Yang family made him gnash his teeth in hatred.
But there is nothing you can do.
Even the Holy One could not win over these people, let alone the prince or the new emperor in the future, so the Holy One first showed his kindness to restore the Yang family and let the Yang family regain control of the military. When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, Longyou Road will definitely be stable.
As for the loyalty of the Yang family, there is no doubt in the Holy Sage, otherwise he would not have allowed the Yang family's three descendants to live in Stone Village and let Qiu Zongxi protect them.
"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Now that the Yang family has risen, the Zhu family of our Zhenbianhou Mansion has declined." Zhenbianhou's voice was still loud, but his eyes were a little darker.
The end of a hero is the most appropriate interpretation of Zhenbian Hou. He planned for his whole life, but ultimately failed.
Zhang Yiyi's arrest and imprisonment was a hint. Whether it was the court or Longyou Road, everyone knew that the Holy Emperor was going to take action against the Zhenbian Hou Mansion.
In other words, the Holy Spirit wants to repair the relationship with the Yang family through the Zhenbian Hou Mansion, and the Yang family is about to use the Zhenbian Hou Mansion to wish their family members a prosperous future.
Thinking of this, everyone in the study suddenly understood why it was the Holy One who sat on the dragon throne. It was indeed a hundred steps!
The Marquis of Zhenbian is nothing more than a chess piece in the hands of the Holy One. Back then, the Marquis of Zhenbian was left to stabilize the border, but now it is the same with the Marquis of Zhenbian. Life and death can only depend on the Holy One's thoughts.
Of course, the Yang family is just a chess piece on the chessboard, but the Yang family is more useful to the Holy Emperor, so the Yang family will rise again and regain the glory of the General's Mansion!
The Crown Prince spoke again, and his steady voice broke the suffocating silence, "Now that the Hou Mansion wants to have a chance of survival, all they have to do is surrender to the Crown Prince, the new emperor in the future!"
The Holy One can be said to be a benevolent king. Although the Zhenbian Hou Mansion has intended to get involved in military power in recent years, it has acted cautiously and thoughtfully, and there is no clue left. As long as the Holy One opens the Internet, the Zhenbian Hou Mansion can still retain its power even if it loses its power.
In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the Zhenbianhou Mansion that first surrendered to the new emperor will be able to rise again. This is the merit of Conglong!
"Uncle, which prince will the Holy Emperor appoint as the heir apparent?" Zhu San is definitely an impatient man. He dares to quarrel with his cousin Zhu Zhengrong, but facing his uncle, the eldest son, Zhu San's attitude is definitely one of awe.
Not to mention that everyone in the Zhenbian Hou Mansion didn't know, even the ministers in the court, the princes and concubines in the palace, probably no one knew which prince the emperor valued. The flame of hope that had just been ignited was about to be extinguished again.
.
Zhu Zhengrong had discussed the situation between North Korea and China with his father many times in private, and now he took over the conversation and said: "We don't know, but Bachelor Gu must know, and Zhan Feiyu is the key to this!"
Bachelor Gu is far away in the capital. Even if the Zhenbian Hou Mansion has extraordinary abilities, there is no way to get intelligence information from Bachelor Gu. Zhan Feiyu, as the only disciple of Bachelor Gu, is also the lifeline of the Zhenbian Hou Mansion.
After being silent for a long time, Zhen Bianhou thought of the little girl he saw in the ruined temple, "That little girl is very evil."
The so-called evil means both good and evil, which makes people unpredictable! After the forty-eight corpses were hung on the city wall in Huai'an Mansion, the Marquis Mansion at the edge of the town also sent people to inquire about the news. Even though Zhan Feiyu was a scholar, he could
I have lives on my hands!
Moreover, she appeared in Xiangwu County and had contact with the Yang family. This also shows that Bachelor Gu is more interested in the Yang family, which is about to recover, rather than the Zhenbian Hou Mansion, which is about to decline. It is not easy to get close to Zhan Feiyu.
It is even more difficult to win over her!
Zhan Feiyu, who was studying hard in Hanchuang, Xiangwu County, had no idea that the Zhenbian Hou Mansion was targeting him, and was trying every means to win her over, but even if he knew, Zhan Feiyu wouldn't care.
What is the Holy Will? That is to act according to the Holy Spirit's ideas. The Holy Spirit wants to clean up the Zhenbian Hou Mansion to vent his anger on the Yang family. Unless Zhan Feiyu is out of her mind, why would she seek death and be involved with the Zhenbian Hou Mansion?
.
After Qiu Jinyu came back from the county jail, Yang Xu felt relieved. Even if he hated her again, he still didn't want Zhang Yiyi's life to be in danger.
"A letter from big brother?" Zhan Feiyu was in a very good mood, smiling so hard that his eyes were closed. He didn't care about half of the article he had written, and hurriedly took the letter from He Nuan.
After a while.
Looking at Zhan Feiyu, who first read it quickly and then carefully read it word for word, He Nuan couldn't help but sigh about the fate between people. The seventh master has such an indifferent temperament, but he is very good to the young lady.
Likewise, the young lady may seem kind and well-behaved, but deep down she has an indifference that is different from ordinary people.
Just like this time, if Yang Xu blames the young lady and harbors resentment because Zhang was imprisoned, then the young lady will only have face-saving feelings towards the Yang family and Yang Xu, and will only handle business matters.
The smile at the corner of his mouth fell, and his eyes that were originally shining with joy also dimmed. Zhan Feiyu carefully folded the letter and said, "Brother is busy with work and has no time to come to Xiangwu County."
"The situation in Longyou Road is unstable, and Master Qi will definitely be busy." He Nuan explained in a warm voice that the Forbidden Dragon Guards' ability to gain the trust of the Holy One is inseparable from Master Qi's dedication. Even if Master Qi is in Longyou Road, he is afraid that he will be busy.
I don’t even have time to come to the remote Xiangwu County.
