Two days later, in Yingtian Mansion, Xie Xun was walking in a hurry, found Zhang Wuji, and said:
"Wuji kid, is there any news about Cheng Kun Dog Thief? Where is he at this time?"
Although Xie Xun is blind, he has great skills and cannot see six directions with his eyes, but he has no problem listening in all directions. He can get the information he wants from the conversations of the people around him.
Not long after the news about Mrs. Yang Dingtian's posthumous note came out, news came that Cheng Kun promised to show up and asked his good disciple Xie Xun to bring the posthumous note to him in person.
"Father, please sit down first. It's like this. The child has just received the news. He has not confirmed whether it is true or not, and he does not know whether this is a trap."
Zhang Wuji hurriedly stopped Xie Xun, fearing that Xie Xun would rush out desperately.
Although he had long thought that Cheng Kun would not be fooled so easily, Zhang Wuji unexpectedly turned his back on Cheng Kun.
"Lion King, the leader is sending people to verify the authenticity of these messages. I believe there will be results soon."
Yang Xiao, Fan Yao and others were also trying to persuade Xie Xun. They were obviously worried that Xie Xun would be in a situation like that again.
Wow!
As a breeze blew by, Wei Yixiao's figure appeared in the room, glanced at Yang Xiao and others, and then came to Zhang Wuji's side and quietly said something.
Zhang Wuji's expression changed slightly, he raised his head and glanced at his adoptive father Xie Xun, and said in a deep voice:
"Invite Brother Su over first."
Not long after, when Su Cheng arrived, Zhang Wuji stepped forward to the door of the room, waved his hand, evacuated the congregation in the courtyard, and after confirming that there was no one else around, he said:
"Zhu Tanzhu... has done a lot of things in the past two days, frequently mobilizing brothers in the sect. At first, I thought it was to deal with the upcoming army of King Ruyang, but King Bat accidentally discovered that Zhu Tanzhu mobilized
Brothers, they are actually the fire flags among the Five Elements Flags, and they are also suspected of transporting a lot of gunpowder into the city."
Liehuo Banner is best at using all kinds of gunpowder and firearms. As long as there is enough gunpowder, it is not difficult to destroy the entire Yingtian Mansion, let alone people like Su Cheng.
Although Su Cheng, Zhang Wuji and others were powerful in martial arts, they were still mortal bodies after all. If they were really hit by gunpowder, they would definitely die.
"What exactly does Master Zhu Tan want to do by transporting gunpowder into the city?"
Yang Xiao's face darkened. Although he was asking others, he actually already had the answer in his mind. Apart from them, there were no enemies in the city who could use gunpowder to deal with him.
"The specific situation is still unclear. Monk Peng among the Wusan people informed me about this matter. However, the people of Liehuo Banner act cautiously. There are many powerful people among them, and they are all brothers in the sect. It is difficult for us to deal with them.
Use your means."
Wei Yixiao told everyone the situation. As long as they didn't break their skin, they wouldn't be able to attack those people easily. Otherwise, if they were discovered, the division within the Ming Cult would be even greater.
"Wuji, it seems from this that Master Zhu Tan must have noticed something, and then planned to take action against us, and he must have reached some kind of cooperation with Cheng Kun."
Su Cheng looked at Zhang Wuji and the others, but saw that no one looked surprised. It was obvious that everyone was smart and had guessed this possibility.
"What we need to confirm now is how they are going to take action, or where and when they are going to take action?"
If Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly covering it up, the gunpowder could really appear anywhere. Even the mansion they were in might be in danger of exploding at any time, making it impossible to guard against it.
"The army of King Ruyang has moved south. How could Master Zhu Tan... do such an irrational thing?"
Zhang Wuji was a little disappointed in his heart. The enemy was still killing each other. This kind of quick success and quick gain style was not like the ambitious Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although he knew Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition, Zhang Wuji never thought of harming him. Otherwise, with his martial arts and medical skills, he would be able to kill Zhu Yuanzhang without anyone noticing.
"This Zhu Tan Master has cooperated with Cheng Kun, and Cheng Kun had previously been in contact with King Ruyang, so it is very likely that he acted as a liaison between the two and reached some kind of agreement between them."
Su Cheng knew a lot about King Ruyang, Cheng Kun, and Zhu Yuanzhang, so he could naturally make this inference. In his opinion, even if Cheng Kun did not connect the bridge, the actions of Zhu Yuanzhang and King Ruyang would not be the same.
There must also be a silent tacit understanding.
King Ruyang can become the Taiwei of Yuanting and control the world's troops for decades. He is definitely not a reckless man. Without some means, it is impossible to survive in the life-and-death internal fighting of Yuanting.
Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, from the lowest background of a beggar to the last generation of Hongwu Emperor, if you think about it with your feet, you will know that he is definitely not a simple person.
"Leader, Master Su, why don't we strike first..."
Wei Yi laughed and said, swiping down hard with his right hand. The meaning was self-evident. He planned to kill Zhu Yuanzhang and solve the hidden danger in advance.
Once he is really determined to take action, no matter who is present, he can easily kill Zhu Yuanzhang by surprise.
"No, King Bat, this must not be done. Once we take action, the Ming Cult will inevitably split, and the situation in the world will change drastically. If we want to overthrow Yuan Ting and expel the Tartars, we will have to postpone it for who knows how many years."
Yang Xiao hurriedly stopped him. It would be easy to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, but the situation after that would be difficult to control, and people would lose their support.
Mencius said: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
The human heart is really a subtle thing, and you may not be able to see it at ordinary times, but at a critical moment, the impact it brings can be fatal.
"It is true that we cannot kill people easily. Of course, we cannot kill people blatantly. Lord Zhu Tan must not dare to do so, otherwise he will be criticized by the people in the world, which he cannot bear."
Su Cheng thought for a moment, then came up with a countermeasure, and continued:
"This is also our opportunity. When Yuanting's army arrives, this Zhu Altar Master takes action against us, risking the disapproval of the world. Once this matter is known to the world, this Zhu Altar Master does not need us
If he takes action, his reputation will be completely ruined, and there will be no place for him in the world..."
By then, without Su Cheng and others taking action, Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation would be ruined and his prestige would be gone. Naturally, it would be impossible for him to lead the rebel army again.
"Headmaster Su is indeed very resourceful and can easily turn his passivity into initiative. This is a wonderful strategy. It can not only solve the problems within the sect, but also won't cause too much trouble later on."
Yang Xiao praised Mingjiao out loud. He had a great responsibility for Mingjiao's current situation. If it could be solved, he would feel less guilty.
"Okay, Brother Su, that's settled the matter. What we will focus on next is how to do these things."
Zhang Wuji had no choice but to make a decision. At this point, it was no longer up to him to choose how things would develop.
