Chapter 352 Double Stars Accompanying the Moon
It's late at night, and the clouds are flowing over the Baijiang River in the north.

Yunbai River, the largest river system in Tianqi, spans the north and south areas of Tianqi and benefits many areas.The Yunbai River in the northern region is the northernmost section of the Yunbai River.

The river water irrigates and nourishes all things, and the people in the north rely on the Yunbai River water to live a prosperous life.

Moreover, the 30 troops led by Marquis Wu'an in the past dynasties guarded the border, so that the people in the north could live in peace of mind.

Even when the late Dai Viet Emperor repeatedly invaded more than 30 years ago, the areas affected by wars were limited to border areas.Going inward, the people in the north can also live a good life.

For the people in the north, there are two guardian gods in the north.One is the 30 northern troops led by the Marquis of Wu'an in the past dynasties; the second is the Yunbai River in the north.

At this moment, it was the dead of night.

The Battle of Apocalypse and Dayue broke out, and the news about Wu An Hou being poisoned was heard, and then it was heard that the emperor's imperial commander was going to fight in person. In those days, the people in the north were in panic all day long, and had trouble sleeping and eating!

A few days ago, a great victory was achieved in the North. As soon as the news came out, the people in the North could finally sleep peacefully.

During the day, the area near Yunbaijiang River is bustling with people, traffic, and a strong atmosphere of life.

At night, all the ships that had been busy all day docked at the riverside, and many of the ships had boat guards on board.At this moment, the ship guards were also asleep.

In the quiet winter night, everything is hibernating. Occasionally, there are a few weak swaying sounds of ships, adding a little bit of vitality to this winter night.

Time passed little by little, and a glimmer of light emerged from the sky.

Suddenly, there was a crashing sound... a crashing sound!

The sleeping shipkeepers were woken up one by one, with doubts in their eyes. What was the sound at night?

One by one, they poked their heads out of the cabin and looked around...
Finally, all eyes were fixed on the river in the distance!
I saw a large rectangular stone slowly emerging from the water...

Many pairs of eyes looked at this scene with shock and curiosity. They all ran out of the cabin and shouted:

"What is that?"

"Yeah, why did such a big stone come out of the water!"

"Look, the stone swam toward the shore."

"Let's go and have a look."······

Everyone ran off the boat and followed the rocks to the shore ahead.

The light in the sky is getting brighter and brighter, and more and more people are running behind it. There are boat guards and people who get up early to work. They are all curious to watch the big stone slowly approaching the shore!
This is the downstream, and the rocks move from upstream to downstream. The huge rocks, coupled with the impact of the water flow, made a bang... and the big rocks hit the shore and stopped!
Everyone gathered around curiously and started talking:

"Hey... look, there are patterns on the stones!"

"Really, what is that? Do you see it clearly?"

"It looks like a moon. But what is that next to the moon?"

Suddenly, an old man shouted: "Oh my God, that's a picture of two stars and the moon!"

"Yes, that's a picture of two stars and the moon."

Many people are wondering: "What is the double star with the moon chart?"

Immediately, someone shouted again: "Yes, that is really a picture of two stars accompanying the moon. This thing floated up from the Yunbai River. Oh my God, the sky is showing a strange phenomenon to warn the world! Two stars are accompanying the moon, and those without virtue will perish!"

"What! Is something big going to happen?"

"Isn't it a great victory in the north? What other big things will happen?"

"No, that's not right. I heard the old people say that when two stars accompany the moon, those without virtue will perish. It does not refer to disasters in other countries, but to changes in the sky."

"What! Things are going to change!"······

There are many restaurants and teahouses of all kinds near Yunbai River. During the day, many merchants are chatting about business there, and there are also many literati who are meeting friends with letters, warming wine and making tea.

At this moment, the news about the pumice stone in Yunbai River has spread throughout the restaurants and teahouses, and the discussion is already boiling:
"Is the stone still there? I'll go take a look too."

"You're late. The prefect has just sent his servants to transport the stones away."

"It's gone! What a pity, we should have come earlier."

"Hey... are those two stars and the moon really made by nature?"

"That's right, we all took a close look at that time. The imprint was extremely smooth. How could man-made carvings have such an effect? ​​It is definitely caused by the erosion of the river!"

"Oh my God, what a warning from God!"

"Hey... let me tell you, these rocks floated up from the Yunbai River. This warning from God is no small matter."

"That's right, there is a cloud in ancient books. If two stars accompany the moon, if the two stars are in conjunction, the country will have soldiers and will establish princes and kings. Those who are virtuous will prosper, and those who are not virtuous will perish."

"That's right, it looks like something big is about to happen again."······

Suddenly, there were many noises outside. As the footsteps approached, the sounds became clearer and clearer:
"It's too much, it's too much. The northern army fought so hard to win this battle, but he dared to assassinate Marquis Wu'an."

"This kind of person should be cut into pieces with thousands of swords and the nine tribes should be annihilated."

"Yes, yes, no wonder the pumice in the Yunbai River shows twin stars accompanying the moon. I think there is a lot to be said for this matter!"

"Hey...brother, what are you talking about? Who assassinated Marquis Wu An?"

"You don't know yet. It's been widely spread outside that the night before yesterday, the left minister of the Ministry of War, Yang Yuqing, dressed in black and masked, assassinated Marquis Wu An and was captured on the spot!"

"What! Yang Yuqing, the left minister of the Ministry of War! Isn't he the supervisor assigned by the emperor to the northern border?"

"What's going on? What's being said outside, please tell me."

"Previously, 20 soldiers of Dai Viet were imprisoned, and the northern army was scattered in various places to guard them, so the northern military camp was insufficiently defended. As a result, more than a dozen masters sneaked into the northern military camp the night before yesterday, intending to assassinate Marquis Wu An, and in the process they killed We killed many northern soldiers and were about to be captured, but who knew that Yang Yuqing and those masters were actually in the same group!"

"That's right, when Marquis Wu'an and the others were dealing with those people, Yang Yuqing suddenly attacked Marquis Wu'an. In the end, it was Prince Xiao and the Eleventh Prince who joined forces to take him down. When the mask fell off, all the soldiers in the north were I’m shocked, who would have thought that there would be a thief!”

"What! How about Marquis Wu An?"

"I'm glad that Marquis Wu An is fine. Now we have finally managed to send away the 20 soldiers from Dai Viet." "Really, that's great, that's great. If these people are not sent away, our Tianqi will be in danger."

"But I heard that the second lady of Wu'anhou's mansion rushed out to block Wu'anhou's sword, and Wuanhou just escaped this disaster."

"Really! What a hero among women. It's all thanks to the Second Lady. Otherwise, if Marquis Wu An is killed, Dai Viet will come back again, and we will have trouble sleeping and eating again."

"Not only that, I heard that those people were assassinating Marquis Wu'an in the military camp. There were nearly five thousand men in black attacking at night outside the military camp. They wanted to disperse the troops in the northern military camp so that the people in the military camp could successfully assassinate Marquis Wu'an."

"I heard that the soldiers in the northern border were furious!"

"Of course I'm angry. We just worked so hard to finish the war, and these bastards are actually assassinating one of our own people!"

"That's it, damn it. Marquis Wu An led the northern army to defeat Dai Viet with great difficulty, and finally had an life in Ansheng. Damn it, these days, they dare to assassinate Marquis Wu An! They are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!"

"Not only that, I heard that the person who poisoned Marquis Wu An has been caught, and it was deputy general Zhang Tianling."

"Tian Ling and Yang Yuqing are probably the same person!"

"What! Damn it, these traitors should all be killed."

"No, it's more than that. The nine tribes should be destroyed."

"That's right, destroy all nine of his tribes!"

"Hey... This Yang Yuqing is the supervisor of the army, but he dared to assassinate Marquis Wu'an. Who ordered him?"

"Who ordered it! I think Yang Yuqing had ulterior motives when he came to the north!"

"It makes sense. It seems that he has ulterior motives and evil intentions!"

"Hey...you think that the stone was a warning, could this be this?"

"It makes sense. With two stars accompanying the moon, those without virtue will perish. It seems like this is a warning from God!"

"I heard that the Eleventh Prince has asked Prince Yu to come forward to handle the matter."

"Really, that's great. Prince Yu was the one who took care of the Yunbaijiang repair money issue last time."

"That's good, that's good, otherwise our Tianqi would really be in chaos."

"It is said in ancient books that two stars accompany the moon. If the two stars are combined, the country will have soldiers and will establish princes and kings. Those who are virtuous will prosper, and those who are not virtuous will perish. It seems that this is really a warning from God."

"It makes sense, hey... have you noticed that ours is the place where Taizu raised his troops to bring peace to the troubled times."

"You said this is the apparition of Taizu!"

"It makes sense, it makes sense, otherwise the Yunbai River in the north is so long, why would those rocks float in the Yunbai River in Binzhou?"

"Yes, it makes sense, it makes sense, it seems that the great ancestor really showed his spirit!"

"Hey, I heard that Miss Xiao originally went with the army, but just after arriving at Linfengdu, she was taken to Linfengdu Guanyi, and there were many imperial guards watching!"

"What! There is such a thing! What do you mean by doing this?"

"Who knows? Miss Xiao originally came here for the soldiers of the Northern Territory, but now she can't go to the Northern Territory, alas!"...

Nowadays, all kinds of discussions and speculations are intensifying across the northern border!

······
Near Linfengdu, Emperor Mingxi's army was stationed.

In the dragon tent, Black Eagle gritted his teeth and continued: "Your Majesty, the place where the rocks floated is at the Yunbai River in Binzhou, the northern border."

"Binzhou is only one day away from the northern military camp. When we received the news, these rumors had already spread throughout the country. Although the prefect had ordered people to remove the stones, the rumors could not be stopped. I guess... It will spread further..."

After writing the book, Emperor Mingxi had a sinister look on his face and growled: "Where is Yang Yuqing?"

Black Eagle said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Yang Yuqing and Zhang Tianling are probably locked up in the northern military camp now. Now that the northern army has returned to camp, there is nothing we can do."

Emperor Mingxi asked angrily: "Isn't Murong Yi at Linfengdu Guanyi? Why does he appear at the northern military camp?"

Black Eagle replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, my subordinates don't know either. They have already sent a message to ask Duan Lei."

Emperor Mingxi shouted angrily: "How could it be possible to defeat Yang Yuqing with Xiao Hengyu's martial arts? So it was Murong Yi who did it! Ha...Murong Yi, you are so secretive! You have learned this skill in the Western Zhou Dynasty all these years Martial arts, if I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have let you leave Tianqi.”

Then he asked angrily: "Where is the pumice stone?"

Black Eagle hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, I heard... that the pumice stone appears to be natural on the surface. Your Majesty, my subordinates have already sent people to check the pumice stone, but the waters of Yunbai River are so long, even if there is something, I'm afraid ···I’m afraid it has been washed away long ago.”

Emperor Mingxi had a sinister look on his face and said through gritted teeth: "If the two stars are in conjunction, the country will have soldiers and will establish princes and kings. Those who are virtuous will prosper, and those who are without virtue will perish."

"Prince Yu, before you became your prince peacefully, it turned out that it was just for today. You are really powerful. You have hidden ambitions. Not only did you hide your ambitions from Emperor Qianxing, but the late emperor was also played by you. I took every precaution against Murong Yi, but in the end, it was you who was really thoughtful!"

Black Eagle gritted his teeth and continued: "Your Majesty, rumors are spreading everywhere, and the morale of the [-] troops outside has also fluctuated. What should we do now?"

Emperor Mingxi's face was dark and calm, and he said for a moment: "It will take a few days to get such a pumice stone. I'm afraid it's not just the northern region that's restless. I'm afraid the imperial capital won't be peaceful either."

Black Eagle was startled: "Do you mean something similar will happen in the Imperial Capital? Your Majesty, what should we do now? Do we want to return to the Imperial Capital?"

Hearing this, Emperor Mingxi's face turned even darker: "I'm afraid that even if I rush back now, I won't be able to suppress these rumors. Now their biggest bargaining chip is Yang Yuqing. But the imperial capital cannot let it go."

Black Eagle asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, if you don't go back, what will the Emperor do?"

Emperor Mingxi's voice turned cold: "Snake hits Qicun. The most critical person in this matter, and he is in the imperial capital, is Prince Yu."

For a moment, Emperor Mingxi quickly picked up the paper and pen to write, and soon put away the pen, handed the paper to Black Eagle, and growled: "Black Eagle, send a message to the capital immediately. Send people to track down Wu'an Hou's people, I will stop the person who delivered the message, life or death. Marquis Wu An will not take the official route in this matter, and will find a way to find the route of the secret guards of Marquis Wu An's mansion, or Murong Yi's people."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Black Eagle followed the order cautiously.

At this moment, Li Yue's voice came from outside the dragon tent: "Your Majesty, three lieutenants want to see you."

Hearing this, Emperor Mingxi cursed in a low voice: "A bunch of useless things, they can't sit still at the slightest sign of trouble."

After a moment, he suppressed his anger and said, "Xuan."
