Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 392
----

"Father, if you check the people around him, is there something wrong?"

Si Ziqi hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "After all, Shang Yang Chao is a close confidant of the king. Although our Langhuan is the wife of Lu Guo, it is not easy to be in trouble with Shang Yang Chao, a close confidant."

"Moreover, the influence of Nancai's old ministers is so intricate that it cannot be underestimated in today's Lu State. Although you are acting under the emperor's orders, the emperor may not accept your favor."

Wen Yuanming looked at Si Ziqi in surprise and said, "Very good, it's very rare for you to have such an intention!"

After all, the old matriarch sighed: "It's a pity that you are still not ready, and you haven't seen the real intention of our lord. Our lord is worse than everyone imagined." Be more resolute and courageous, and be more invincible!"

Obviously, this old master who had experienced five dynasties had already smelled a different atmosphere. Although he did not know Xun Shaoyu's specific thoughts, he was somewhat mentally prepared.

And being able to survive five dynasties in Bo Yun's treacherous court situation, Wen Yuanming not only had the Shangqing Palace behind him, but also had a precise vision that was far ahead of others.Si Ziqi had no choice but to believe in Wen Yuanming's vision, which had been practiced countless times.

Si Ziqi clenched his fists anxiously, his face was full of uneasiness, and he frowned and whispered, "Father, what you mean is that all of this is planned by the lord, and the matter of Fenshui is also controlled by the lord?"

If Wen Yuanming's guess is true, if this news spreads, a big earthquake will occur throughout the Lu Kingdom. This is not something that ministers should be involved in, and no ministers should be involved.

Wen Yuanming smiled faintly and said: "You are worrying too much... It can't be said to be manipulation, at most it is just paying attention to one or two things. Our prince is not worried about the old ministers of Nancai being too big, but he is afraid that these people will not be able to be used. , just rest in pleasure and be content with the status quo!"

"The prince is in his youth, full of ambitions, and needs a group of ministers who are good at conquering and fighting. However, the current weak national strength and no war inside and outside have caused some ministers to only enjoy themselves and have no ambition, so they dare to carry out such a crisis. Lu Guo’s stupid things, the princes also want to give these people a shock.”

Wen Yuanming's eyes shone with a faint light. An old minister is an old minister after all. Wen Yuanming directly saw through Xun Shaoyu's thoughts.

Xun Shaoyu had only been in power for three years, and the civil and military officials under his command had fallen so low that they dared to reach out for money and food for disaster relief.This trend must not last forever. If it goes on like this, when will Lu Guo become the overlord of a state?

As a qualified king, Xun Shaoyu, as a qualified king, kept this saying firmly in his heart as he was born in sorrow and died in happiness.

Si Ziqi nodded and whispered, "I see, it seems that there is going to be trouble in Quanpu again!"

The incident in Fenshui is neither small nor big, and it all depends on Xun Shaoyu's temperament. If he really follows the plan and kills all those involved, many people will die.

"Yes... there is going to be a disturbance. Once the disturbance arises, it will depend on the prince's thoughts if it will subside."

…………

A few days passed in a blink of an eye. Within these few days, Quanpu, the capital of Lu State, and even the area of ​​Sanpu, were inexplicably filled with a solemn atmosphere.

In this inexplicably heavy atmosphere, it seems that even the common people in Guizhou are affected by this. They move around in a hurry and are even less talkative outside.He was afraid that he would get into trouble because of his quick words, and he would die somehow. Even the crowds in the market had become much thinner without realizing it.

The increasingly depressing atmosphere in Miura made these war-torn Guizhou people seem to smell something.Uneasiness is brewing, whether it is the uneasiness of the common people and the leaders of Guizhou, or the uneasiness of the dignitaries, it has slowly spread over the past few days.

In a guest room of a wine tavern in the east city of Quanpu, Shangyang Kai sat next to the wine table with a fearful expression on his face. He looked at the door of the guest room from time to time, his expression mixed with uneasiness and fear.

"He...why hasn't he come? Why hasn't he come?"

The fear and uneasiness on the face of this dandy boy from the Shangyang family has almost reached the extreme. He even doesn't know where to place his hands and feet. Sitting on the long bench, his legs are shaking constantly.

have to!have to!have to!
His teeth were chattering unconsciously. In these short few days, Shang Yangkai was under pressure that ordinary people could not imagine. If he hadn't been lucky enough, he would have collapsed long ago.

The atmosphere in Miura was extremely depressing, especially the undercurrent in Shangyang Mansion, which made Shangyang Kai extremely alert.Perhaps it was because he was hiding something wrong in his heart, but Shang Yangkai seemed to have a scrutinizing gaze on everyone he met. Even the servants and other servants made Shang Yangkai extremely vigilant.

Especially the look from his uncle Shang Yangchao made Shang Yangkai even more tormented.Almost every moment, behind Shangyang Kai, there seemed to be thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him coldly, which made Shangyang Kai's heart extremely heavy.

tread!tread!tread!
At this time, several heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the wing, and the floor creaked. Shangyang Kai's expression changed, and he stared at the door tightly.

Squeak - the door of the wing was slowly pushed open, and a mediocre-looking middle-aged man in white looked around at the surrounding decorations before slowly walking into the wing.

Looking at the person coming, Shangyang opened his face and said, as if crying or smiling, "You...you are finally here!"

The middle-aged man in white looked calm, glanced at the flustered Shangyang Kai, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, his face was still as usual, and he said calmly: "What happened to make you so anxious to meet me. Didn't I tell you I have to ask you, now is the most critical time, it’s best not to meet each other if nothing happens. If you are so anxious, has something happened to Shangyang Mansion?”

"That old guy in Shangyang Chao noticed it. He must have noticed it. I won't do anything with you anymore."

Shangyang Kai gritted his teeth, his nose and tears mixed together, and he growled: "I'm scared... I'm really scared... I don't want any of those jade shells or stone shells anymore, I'll give them all to you... I'll give them all to you, I don't want any more I have nothing to do with you!"

The middle-aged man in white looked at Shang Yangkai's sudden vent indifferently, and the corners of his mouth curved. Just looking at Shang Yangkai's crazy expression, a trace of contempt in his eyes flashed away.

"Why?" The middle-aged man in white, with a warm smile on his face, slowly sat down next to Shangyang Kai and said, "Isn't our cooperation always smooth? You provide us with convenience, and we share the profits with you. , this cooperation has always been a win-win situation for us!”

The middle-aged man in white said calmly: "We have our own methods, and you can take advantage of your uncle's influence. If we join forces, we will benefit from both. As long as you use them freely, you don't know how great the benefits are. You really Are you willing to give up this benefit and go back to being your spoiled playboy? With this resource, even a pile of resources can push you to the ninth level of the soul."

Hearing that the Nine Transformations of the Soul was right in front of him, Shangyang Kai gritted his teeth, his expression became hesitant, and his attitude became a little loose.

This amount of money is not a small amount. No matter where you are, food is real hard currency. 20 stone of food is really not a small amount.

"Just relax, you don't have to be suspicious all the time. After all, you are the nephew of Mr. Shangyang. You have Mr. Shangyang as your backer. The monarch does not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. For the sake of the stability of the court, the monarch will not take advantage of you. How."

Seeing that Shangyang Kai's mood gradually calmed down, the middle-aged man in white smiled evilly and said: "It's just that we lost 20 shi of food and starved to death of tens of thousands of untouchables. What can he do to you and what will he do to you?" In this way, the king can still ignore the separation between the king and his ministers just to kill you, a playboy?"

Hearing the middle-aged man in white clothes mention Shangyang Dynasty, Shangyang Kai's mood gradually eased, and he said in a daze: "Yes, I still have an uncle, and his old man will definitely not watch me die. If it’s different, I’ll be fine.”

The solemn atmosphere in the past few days has given Shangyang Kai a feeling of being surrounded by soldiers, which is really a kind of torture.Every time he wanted to reveal the truth to Shang Yangchao, when he thought of how furious Shang Yangchao would be when he learned the truth, Shangyang Kai fell silent again. His muddled mentality was self-evident.

However, after several days of panic, the pressure on Shangyang Kai became heavier and heavier, and he even had to escape from Shangyang Mansion and hide in this wine shop to survive.

The middle-aged man in white looked at Shangyang Kai, who was still in a daze, with a hint of coldness in his brows, and said, "How long have you been out of Shangyang Mansion?"

In the eyes of the middle-aged man in white, this Shangyangkai is an extremely useful chess piece. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the middle-aged man in white would not abandon this useful chess piece in Shangyangkai.

Shang Yang smiled bitterly and said: "I escaped the night before yesterday, I dare not stay in the mansion anymore, if I stay in the mansion again, I will definitely go crazy in that atmosphere."

"Damn it, you bastard, you...you actually ran away. Who asked you to run away?" The expression of the middle-aged man in white changed, and instantly became extremely terrifying and sinister, and he said in a cold tone.

The middle-aged man in white suddenly learned that Shangyang Kai had escaped from Shangyang Mansion. After learning the bad news, the middle-aged man in white was almost so angry that he vomited blood.

In the eyes of the middle-aged man in white, although Shang Yangkai is a good chess piece, the greatest role of this chess piece is when he is not exposed.

And Shang Yangkai's unauthorized escape was not self-inflicted. He clearly told Shang Yang Chao that there was something wrong with this Shang Yangkai, and in this case, half of the chess piece was useless.

The reason why it was only half destroyed was because the middle-aged man in white couldn't figure out Shang Yangchao's thoughts and whether he could kill his relatives with justice, so Shang Yangkai still had some use value.

"No, the power of Shangyang Dynasty is so great. Although he is punished by a hundred-day confinement and it is impossible to show up in person in a short time, it is extremely simple for him to find someone in Quanpu. It may take him even an hour. Not on."

The middle-aged man in white was so frightened that he couldn't help but pinch the corner of the table to pieces with his palms. He said with fear, "No, this is a trap. Maybe Shang Yangkai is the bait!"

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. The middle-aged man in white knew deeply about Xun Shaoyu's cruel methods.If he only acts in secret, the middle-aged man in white may not be so afraid of Xun Shaoyu, but if he is placed in full view of the public, the middle-aged man in white will be a little less courageous.

boom!boom!boom!
Waves of roars that sounded like muffled thunder suddenly exploded from the ears, and an unbearable killing aura suddenly fell from the sky. The middle-aged man in white saw a phoenix bird bathed in fire, suddenly spreading its wings and flying high.

"Flying Phoenix Divine Weapon!" The middle-aged man in white clothes could no longer remain calm and composed. There was indescribable panic in his high-pitched voice.

The power of Lu Guozhen's national army [Flying Phoenix Divine Weapon] is engraved in the hearts of every Lu Guo people. It is a reputation that has been earned through countless fierce battles with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

A Taoist soldier at his peak is enough to suppress a martial arts saint. No matter how confident this middle-aged man in white is, he would not dare to compete with a martial arts saint.

"Where is Zhong's army? They sealed the area for ten miles, set up a dragnet, and entered the tavern with me to capture the thief alive!!"

At this moment, a majestic voice seemed to fall from the sky, terrifying energy shook all directions, and countless sealed spaces loomed.

…………

"what?"

At the same time, in the Ganquan Palace, Xun Shaoyu was sitting on the throne, with an extremely indifferent expression, his palms stroking the table, his behavior was majestic and unpredictable, and he looked towards Dongcheng with his eyes open and closed.

"It's Wen Yuanming's aura. Not only did he set up a sky net, but he also dispatched a [Flying Phoenix Soldier]. It seems that Wen Yuanming has gained a lot in the past few days!" Xun Shaoyu laughed softly and said: "It's just In the past few days, there have been too many restless people in both the government and the public. Wen Yuanming's move this time may be able to suppress these people."

The solemn atmosphere these days has caused many officials to complain, but Xun Shaoyu suppressed it hard, so these officials had to suffer and did not dare to express their dissatisfaction.

With Xun Shaoyu's skillful method, which was almost as good as the way of heaven and man at this time, Wen Yuanming's actions were very clear in his eyes.And mobilizing the [Flying Phoenix Divine Armament], a Taoist army that controls the country, would not be so simple without Xun Shaoyu's quiet acquiescence.

All of this is under the control of Xun Shaoyu, and Xun Shaoyu wants to use this to clean up a group of mediocre people in order to correct and rectify the atmosphere in the court.Although under his arbitrary power, he could act directly, and what he did might not be impossible, but it seemed a little too hasty.

"Old minister of Nancai...Old minister of Marquis Wen..." Xun Shaoyu murmured to himself. These were his two worries, and they were also the biggest hidden danger of Lu State at present.If these hidden dangers are not eliminated, Xun Shaoyu will not worry about attacking the martial arts of heaven and man.

The Fenshui corruption incident was an opportunity for Xun Shaoyu to solve the problems of his two confidants.The old ministers of Nancai were becoming more and more unruly and unruly, and the old ministers of Marquis Wen relied on their seniority to rely on their elders and sell them out. Xun Shaoyu's patience had long been pushed to the limit.

"Perhaps, after solving these people, I can wholeheartedly enter the path of heaven and man!"

At this time, Xun Shaoyu's martial arts powers were extremely powerful. The four gates of Tianmen had already been completed, and there was no way for him to progress in mind, body, strength, and spirit. The next step would be to realize the way of heaven and man.

That Tai Chi incarnation of Yuan Shen combined with Tao, and achieved the enlightenment of half-step Taiyi, which made Xun Shaoyu's realm advance by leaps and bounds. When it comes to the subtle realm of Taoism, Xun Shaoyu is no less than a real heavenly being.

Although it is still a little short of a real celestial being, if Xun Shaoyu polishes it a little bit, he may be able to break into the way of celestial beings immediately.

Under the induction of Xun Shaoyu's spiritual spirit, Wen Yuanming moved very quickly, and set up a heavenly and earthly net. With the help of the [Flying Phoenix Divine Weapon], it was simply a devastating force, like a candle being easily extinguished.

At this moment, since Wen Yuanming took action, it was definitely a thunderous strike, and the [Flying Phoenix Divine Soldier] suppressed all chaos that might occur in the Miura area, including Quanpu.A strong army with an iron-blooded aura, driving bronze chariots like battle fortresses, shuttled freely across the land of Miura.

Less than half an hour later, Wen Yuanming was seen walking into the Ganquan Palace step by step, dressed in court clothes, with a heavy look on his face, and a male and female sword hanging on his waist.

"Old minister, see you, Lord!" Wen Yuanming went straight into the Ganquan Palace, with a solemn look on his face, and leaned over to bow.

Looking at the dusty Wen Yuanming, Xun Shaoyu said calmly: "Zaifu is worthy of being the leader of the country. It only took a few days to catch these rats. I asked Zaifu to handle the matter. It seems that It worked wonders.”

Wen Yuanming spoke frankly and said: "Your Majesty, I am here to return the edict. The people involved are too important. I dare not take charge of it, so I have to ask your Majesty to make a decision."

Although Wen Yuanming got what he wanted with the trap in Dongcheng Liquor Inn, under the expedited interrogation, he got a lot of dirty information.But precisely because Wen Yuanming knew these inside stories, he felt a little embarrassed.

As a nephew of Shangyang Dynasty, Shangyang Kai has a unique background, and it is already troublesome to vaguely involve Shangyang Dynasty, an important minister of the country.

What's more, Shang Yangkai is not just an exception among the middle-aged men in white. There are many noble family members like Shang Yangkai, who are all entangled in Nuo Da's interests.

For example, Shangyang Dynasty and Zhu Yuexing, all officials with deep roots in the Lu Dynasty, were all involved.

Some participated personally, while others participated passively. Without knowing it, the people above and below carefully weaved a large network, covering every corner of Lu State, which made people feel chills on their spines and a sense of warmth. Be wary and frightened.

I'm afraid no one could have imagined that it involved so many aspects that it was so unbelievable and so rampant that even Wen Yuanming had to worry about it.

If this massacre really happened, there would probably be a big earthquake in the entire Lu State. There were too many important ministers involved, whether it was the old ministers of Nan Cai or the veteran ministers of Marquis Wen, Wen Yuanming was a little afraid of them.

Wen Yuanming, an old fox, would never do such a stupid thing that provoked fire. He could only leave it to Xun Shaoyu to make the decision.

"Don't you dare to be good at it?" Xun Shaoyu casually flipped through the memorial submitted by Wen Yuanming, and said, "This is really strange. Zaifu is a veteran of the Five Dynasties. He is just a few dandies, and he can still provoke Zaifu." What's the trouble?"

However, after Xun Shaoyu looked at the whole story, his eyes flickered, and Wen Yuanming's concerns were instantly clear.
