Xia Kingdom, in Jiangzhou City, Jiangcheng Prefecture.
Feng Chu was wearing the brocade embroidered official uniform specially used by the embroidered messengers and sat quietly on the seat.
In the hall, a dozen local mid-level embroidery envoys knelt on one knee and bowed their heads to obey orders.
"Is this possible?" Feng Chu asked in a deep voice.
The embroiderer below heard this and immediately reported back:
"Your Excellency, we have indeed found out. Murong Fu's confidant, the Commander-in-Chief of Shaoyang County, Cheng Lu Xingxian, had previously entered Dejiang County in person to meet with Wu Zixu."
"Wu Zixu's surroundings were heavily guarded and spies were not allowed to enter. The content of the discussion between the two could not be ascertained. However, Lu Xingxian and Wu Zixu discussed for a long time before leaving. This matter is absolutely true and absolutely not false!"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Feng Chu nodded without surprise and said:
"As expected, Murong Fu was a rebel and managed to occupy Shaoyang County. Seeing that His Highness has sent troops to station, he is worried that he will lose power, so he naturally wants to join the Yun Kingdom!"
Among Shaoyang County, there are Wuling County and Yongzhou County. It is related to whether the new southwestern defense line can be established. King Qi is naturally very concerned about it.
To be sure, just in case, Feng Chu's embroidery envoys were arranged early to keep an eye on Murong Fu, and they happened to catch Lu Xingxian's meeting with Wu Zixu.
Hearing this, his subordinates also opened their mouths and said:
"When Murong Fu started to gain momentum, he managed to invade the city where His Highness's personal soldiers were stationed with just a small group of people. Now that I think about it carefully, it's quite strange. I'm afraid that this matter has something to do with the Yun Kingdom!
"
The embroidery envoy of the Xia Kingdom was naturally not a waste. Although it had been a long time, during the follow-up investigation and gathering intelligence, Murong Fu was also found to be strange at the time, and the suspicion was placed on the side of the Yun Kingdom.
And the fact is indeed as they suspected.
Back then, if Murong Fu had not had the help of a master from the sticky pole to help him capture the city gate, even if he was a ninth-level master, he would never have been able to capture a city guarded by elite soldiers!
Feng Chu nodded first, then a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, his brows furrowed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice:
"No, no! There is still something strange here!"
"If Murong Fu is really someone who was installed in the Sticky Office of the Yun Kingdom, he would naturally have contact information at the Sticky Office. If he wants to contact Wu Zixu, he can go through the Sticky Office without anyone noticing, and it is extremely secretive. Why would he need to send his own confidants?
Go to Dejiang County to be so conspicuous?"
One sentence immediately stunned the embroiderers present.
They didn't know that Murong Fu had a different intention before. In order to avoid losses, Ju Meng decisively withdrew the people around him. It was because of this that after Murong Fu found that he could not contact the stick, he
So he had no choice but to send his confidants to Dejiang County.
After a while, some of Fang’s embroiderers spoke one after another:
"This involves Murong Fu's wealth and power. He should not dare to neglect it, so he should send his confidants there!"
"Or maybe this Murong Fu is not closely connected with the stick-stick place? So he doesn't know where the stick-stick place is hidden around him!"
"Yes, anyway, if we are asked to go to the Yun Kingdom to cause trouble, we don't necessarily have to arrange for our own people to go. Find an ambitious Jiang Hu Cao Mang to give some help and support. As long as the time is right, we can make it happen... Murong Fu
Isn’t this the way to build momentum?”
The remarks made by the embroiderers all have a certain truth to them.
Although Feng Chu instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this, he could not think of a more reasonable reason, so he nodded in agreement.
Then Feng Chu looked stern and shouted in a deep voice:
"Send the order!"
The embroiderers immediately clasped their fists and shouted:
"My subordinate is here!"
Feng Chu had murderous intent in his eyes and said coldly:
"Shaoyang County Lieutenant Murong Fu colluded with the Yun Kingdom with evil intentions. He is here to seize the title and official position, and he will be captured and questioned. As soon as he responds to the party members, he will kill them all and don't let them go!"
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Wuzhou camp in Hechi County have now withdrawn to Shaoyang County. With such confidence, Murong Fu's rabble are really not to be taken seriously.
Moreover, the situation in the southwest is now dangerous, and there is no room for mistakes. In order to prevent accidents or Yun Guo's secret calculations, King Qi did not even dare to play the trick of taking advantage of the situation. Instead, he directly ordered Feng Chu, and after discovering that Murong Fu secretly contacted Yun After entering the country, he was directly taken to trial.
Upon hearing Feng Chu's order, all the embroiderers immediately lowered their heads and shouted in unison:
"As you command!"
-------------------
Yun Kingdom, in the palace of Zhongqing City.
Xiao Cheng looked at the secret report that had just been sent to him with a strange look on his face.
In the line of sight that ordinary people cannot see, the golden finger panel is revealed.
[Murong Fu, Xian Fu (a lieutenant of Shaoyang County in the Xia Kingdom)
Force 90, Literature 74, Wisdom 74, Morality 38, Age 30, Dominance 60, Politics 58, Charisma 78, Loyalty 21, Ambition 90]
58 for politics, 21 for loyalty, and 90 for ambition. With these attributes, no wonder I still can’t see the situation clearly at this time...
The secret report in Xiao Cheng's hands at this time was surprisingly the one sent by Wu Zixu just now.
Xiao Cheng was extremely satisfied with Wu Zixu's explanation in the secret report as to why he did not accept Murong Fu's surrender.
Of course, what satisfied Xiao Cheng the most was that Wu Zixu did not lose his mind because of his family feud. He knew that he should consider whether to continue the attack from the perspective of Xiao Cheng and Yun Guo.
This makes Xiao Cheng very happy!
Xiao Cheng looked at the secret report in his hand again and couldn't help but sigh:
"As expected of you, Murong Fu!"
Every time he made a key life decision, he could firmly choose the wrong option. I don't know if this was a talent...
After letting out a laugh, Xiao Cheng casually threw the secret fold in his hand aside and said loudly:
"Prepare the decree!"
"Wu Zixu, the official in charge of the right army governor's office, defeated the Xia Kingdom's southwestern frontier army and made great achievements in battle. He was promoted to the right army governor's office. He was promoted to the fourth rank and commanded the affairs. He was given the title of Qu Jingbo!"
Naturally, the official positions in this court cannot be promoted too quickly. But with 20,000 soldiers and horses, they defeated the Xia Kingdom's hundreds of thousands of troops and captured Dejiang County. Such a great achievement cannot be ignored.
Therefore, Xiao Cheng could only show his kindness and honor by giving him a title.
But speaking of it, Wu Zixu was the first person to be granted the title of earl since the promulgation of the new imperial system.
The young eunuch on the side heard this and quickly responded.
After the imperial edict was drafted, the Ministry of Rites arranged for the royal seal and seal to be sent to the front line.
After everything was dealt with, a young eunuch quickly stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, Monk Analud from Tianzhu is requesting an audience outside the palace!"
Xiao Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this, turned to look at Feng Bao, and said:
"I remember, he came here yesterday, right? How many times has this come?"
When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly said:
"Back to Your Majesty, I asked to see you yesterday. Since the first day of the year, this is the fifth time he has asked to see you!"
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he thought about it for a while, then suddenly smiled and said:
"Well, after waiting for him for so long, I must have noticed something strange. But since he didn't run away in a hurry, but continued to ask for an audience with me, he is either brave or not malicious."
Having said this, Xiao Cheng stood up slightly and walked out of the Yangxin Hall, saying:
"In that case, let's meet him! I'm curious as to what this guy is thinking about after putting in so much effort!"
When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly bowed his head in response and arranged for the young eunuch to summon him.
With Xiao Cheng's current martial arts skills, almost no one in the world can hurt him.
But even so, when Xiao Cheng received the unknown Tianzhu monk Analu, the masters of the Forbidden Army still did not dare to neglect and were extremely cautious. The current commander of the Forbidden Army, Nan Jiyun, even held the hilt of his saber and tightened his grip.
He followed Xiao Cheng closely, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Wearing Tianzhu's characteristic clothes, with light brown skin and a calm and calm expression, Analu, under the leadership of the young eunuch in the palace, slowly came to Xiao Cheng, leaned over and saluted, and said:
"Analu, meet His Majesty the Emperor of Dayun Kingdom!"
He speaks fairly fluent Mandarin and speaks it very well!
Xiao Cheng looked at Analu, his eyes narrowed, and he stretched his right hand behind him. Amid everyone's puzzled eyes, he slowly pulled out the sword worn by Nan Jiyun at his waist, and then waved it casually.
The level of martial arts has reached Xiao Cheng's current level. Even though he swung the sword casually, the sharp sword energy flew out and struck Analu violently.
When Analu saw the fierce sword energy coming towards him, he sighed quietly, remained motionless, lowered his head and recited the Buddha's name silently.
There was only a soft "thud" sound, and the sword energy that was about to condense into substance suddenly stopped.
Analu bowed his head, and a power that was completely different from the martial arts of the Central Plains overflowed from his body, and then solidified into the miraculous eight-armed Buddha, blocking Xiao Cheng's sword energy.
Because the power of his aura is completely different from that of the Central Plains martial arts, it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it when it is normally activated but not released.
But once it was used, it actually revealed a cultivation level comparable to that of an eighth-level warrior from the Central Plains!
Obviously, Di Renjie's predictions based on his words and deeds were all correct.
This Analu not only understands the Mandarin of the Central Plains, but also possesses profound martial arts knowledge from India!
The surrounding Imperial Guards were shocked when they saw Analu displaying his martial arts, thinking that he was planning to do something evil.
The sound of swords being unsheathed was heard, and the masters of the imperial army rushed forward in a hurry to protect Xiao Cheng. Their weapons were pointed at the Tianzhu monk Analu.
Seeing this, Xiao Cheng shook his head slightly, threw the sword in his hand to Nan Jiyun, pushed away the Forbidden Army master who was blocking him, and said in a deep voice:
"Does Tianzhu Buddhism not practice oral precepts?"
This sentence is to question Analu before why he pretended that he did not understand the Chinese Mandarin and did not understand martial arts.
Hearing Xiao Cheng's question, Analu lowered his eyebrows and paused, chanted the Buddha's name softly, and said:
"The poor monk has no intention of hiding anything, he is just pretending not to say anything..."
Having said this, Analu continued:
"The poor monk came here just to see His Majesty. He has no ill intentions and asks for Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
After saying that, Analu immediately knelt down, bowed respectfully to Xiao Cheng, leaned to the ground, and stayed up for a long time.
