Chapter 1293: Peeling Back the Cocoon
Lu Shanghe hurriedly said: "What Brother Xian said is that if Jizang wants to disturb Xichuan, it is necessary to gather the two forces of Li Hongxin and the Miao family's seventy-two caves. The imperial court has been staring at Li Hongxin, if there is no incident in the 72 holes of the Miao family, Li Hongxin will not be able to set off the storm at all, but if there is only 72 holes to make a rebellion, there is no main general, and the Miao family ..... The rebellion of the 72nd cave of the Miao family can be extinguished soon, then Li Hongxin fought with the imperial court back then, and only when Li Hongxin and the 72nd cave of the Miao family are combined, can Xichuan really mess up. Once there is an accident in the capital, even if the officers and soldiers want to come back to help, they will be dragged by the rebels and difficult to get out, and they will be far away from the capital, and it will be too late to save them. ”
It was natural for him to call Xiang Baiying "Virtuous Brother", as if nothing had ever happened between the two.
Everyone was ashamed in their hearts, and Qi Ning asked: "When I was in the East China Sea, there was a person on that island called the Ghost King, who was he sacred?" ”
"He's one of the six envoys of Jizo." Lu Shanghe said: "That person is a dwarf, but his martial arts are not weak, and his martial arts are much higher than those of the treasure boy." ”
Qi Ning thought for a moment and said: "The treasure boy and the treasure goddess and the powerful envoy are all in chaos in Xichuan, the angel regent is in the East China Sea and the Jiang family, among the six envoys of the earth, where are the other two?" They weren't in Wild Ghost Ridge. ”
Qi Ning came out of the Wild Ghost Ridge, but he only killed the treasure boy in advance, but he didn't see the other envoys, he knew that if the other people were still on the mountain, they would not hide.
The Great Messenger and the Treasure Boy both died at his hands, and the Treasure Celestial Maiden Flower wanted to disappear without a trace, and should have gone down the mountain with Jizang, but among the six envoys of Jizang, there were also Yanmo Messengers and Great Mercy Heavenly Maiden, but they never showed up.
Lu Shanghe said: "Two years ago, the Yanmo Envoy and the Great Mercy Heavenly Maiden disappeared without a trace, I guess it must be the Dizang Secret who sent them to do something, but where did they go, I ..... I really don't know, and Jizo never mentions them. ”
"Since Jizo is bent on rebellion, then the capital will inevitably arrange people." Xuanyuan said: "I thought those two people were likely lurking in the capital. When he said this, his tone was a little unnatural, after all, the duty of the Shenhou Mansion is to deal with the hostile secret agents, their biggest opponent, naturally the Nine Heavenly Towers of the Northern Han Dynasty, although the people of Jizo are silently lurking in the capital, and the attention of the Shenhou Mansion has never been on the body of Jizang before, but if the secret agents under the Dizang are lurking in the capital safely, the Shenhou Mansion knows nothing, and there is still a loss of face after all.
Qi Ning groaned slightly, his body shook suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Fire Gate!" ”
Everyone didn't understand, looking at Qi Ning, Xuanyuan Po was puzzled: "Guogong, what does Huomen mean?" ”
Qi Ning said: "You don't know, there was a big case in the Black Scale Camp at the beginning, the wife of Meng Guangren, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, rushed back to her hometown overnight, and passed near the Black Scale Camp station, but she encountered a tragedy and killed several followers. ”
At that time, Xuanyuan Po was still in Xichuan, but he didn't know about this case, and said in surprise: "What does this case have to do with the Black Scale Camp?" ”
"The Kyoto Prefecture Yacha caught the murderer, and those Yacha are all from the Black Scale Battalion." Qi Ning's expression was solemn: "After investigation, this matter has been a bureau from front to back, and the yacha of Kyoto Prefecture was used by someone, and it happened to pass by there to catch the murderer, and those murderers were recruits just recruited by the Black Scale Battalion, and they ..... It's the people of the Fire Gate! ”
Xuanyuan Po frowned and said, "Fire Gate? My subordinates have never heard of such a sect. ”
"The Lord of the Fire Gate is called the Ghost Heavenly Master." Qi Ning explained: "So far, we have not found out what the origin of this person is, but one thing is certain, this person secretly recruited a lot of people, and made these people take advantage of the Black Scale Battalion to recruit new recruits, and mixed in with it. ”
"Ghost Heavenly Master?" Xiang Baiying said: "I have never heard of this person. ”
"The arrested Huomen murderer confessed that the back of the ghost heavenly master's hand was tattooed with a flame .....!" Before Qi Ning finished speaking, Lu Shanghe hurriedly said: "Flame Messenger, yes, there is also a flame tattoo on the back of the Flame Messenger's hand, the Ghost Heavenly Master you are talking about, maybe.... It could be the Flame Messenger. ”
Qi Ning sneered: "It's really him." In this way, the Flame Messenger and the Great Mercy Heavenly Maiden are both in the capital. Speaking of this, my heart was full of joy, and I couldn't help but wonder, since Zhuo Xian'er may be a person from Jizang, does it have anything to do with the Flame Messenger? Even Zhuo Xian'er is the Great Mercy Heavenly Maiden? If this is the case, then is the black-robed man who claimed to be under Mu Yunhou in the palace the same time as the Yanmo Messenger?
Could it be that the power of Jizo has infiltrated the palace?
Xuanyuan said: "Guogong, those Huomen villains killed Meng Shaoqing's servants, was someone carefully designed?" ”
Qi Ning thought for a moment before he said: "After this incident, the imperial court transferred a deputy commander Wu Dalin on the grounds that the military discipline of the Black Scale Battalion was not strict, and Wu Dalin himself was the deputy commander of the Yulin Battalion. ”
"Wu Dalin?" Xuanyuan said: "This person seems to have been promoted by Sima Lan, and he was able to enter the Yulin Camp, and it seems that Sima Lan single-handedly contributed to it." ”
"Not bad." Qi Ning said: "Soon after this incident, the king of Huainan launched a rebellion when the Holy Heaven was worshipped, intending to usurp the throne after killing Sima Lan. ”
The others didn't know the intricate relationship between the DPRK and China, but Xuanyuan Po seemed to understand something, and said: "Guogong, Wu Dalin was transferred to the Yulin camp by Sima Lan, and the emperor sacrificed to the sky, so he was naturally escorted by the Yulin camp, and Wu Dalin was transferred from the Yulin camp, just like ..... Drain Sima Lan's power in the Yulin Camp. ”
Qi Ning said: "In fact, this matter was originally brewed by the King of Huainan, and the case that happened in the Black Scale Camp should be planned by the King of Huainan to transfer Wu Dalin, and the King of Huainan wanted to use the Yulin Camp under Chi Fengdian's complete control to attack Sima Lan, but it was just ..... Chi Fengdian did not go as King Huainan wished in the end, and in that rebellion, King Huainan completely fell into Sima Lan's trap. After a pause, he said: "At least it can be proved that the Ghost Heavenly Master has been colluding with the King of Huainan in secret, which means that Jizo is actually involved with the King of Huainan." ”
"I see." Xuanyuan Po bowed slightly.
Yin Wuji said: "Does that prove that Jizo originally wanted to assist King Huainan to ascend the throne and become emperor?" ”
Xuanyuan Po asked Lu Shanghe in a deep voice: "Lu Shanghe, there is collusion between Dizang and the King of Huainan, do you know?" ”
"I don't know." Lu Shanghe hurriedly said: "I don't even have a ghost heavenly master..... No, even the Yanmo envoy didn't know that he was in the capital, and he didn't know that they had colluded with the King of Huainan in private. ”
Qi Ning said thoughtfully: "Dizang sent a flame envoy in the capital to collude with the King of Huainan in private, and brewed the ...... of the case in the Black Scale Camp!" Speaking of this, he was silent and did not continue to speak, but Xiang Baiying suddenly said: "No, no! ”
"Uncle Xiang, you mean?"
"The Donghai family has been planning for many years, and the Jizo here in Xichuan has also been laid out for a long time." Xiang Baiying said slowly: "A war between the Chu State and the Northern Han Dynasty is inevitable, and the entire layout, when it is secretly prepared, will be attacked as soon as the Chu army goes north. You also said that Jizo and they are planning to attract the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to Xichuan, and then the Donghai family will take the opportunity to go north to the capital, if Jizo really colludes with the king of Huainan in private, this plan is naturally carefully planned by them together. ”
Qi Ning said: "Exactly, if Jizang really assisted the King of Huainan to usurp the throne, the King of Huainan would naturally know all these plans. ”
"That being the case, why did King Huainan make trouble in advance?" Xiang Baiying said: "The king of Huainan has no military power, but the Sima family is in power, since the king of Huainan has already made a plan with Jizang, why don't you continue to wait?" Why did he easily make a move when the emperor sacrificed to the heavens before the plan was implemented, compared to his plan with Jizo, the risk of rebellion during the sacrifice to the heavens was so great that it was impossible for King Huainan not to know. ”
Although Arnau didn't understand court affairs, he couldn't help but interject: "Is it that King Huainan can't wait?" ”
"Before the rebellion of the King of Huainan, there was already a civil strife in the Northern Han, and the imperial court had already planned to go north, and the King of Huainan was also involved in the planning, he should understand that the time he had been waiting for the Chu army to go north had indeed come." Qi Ning said slowly: "And at that time, the rebellion of the Donghai family had not been detected, and Li Hongxin was still alive and well, although the plot to seize control of the beggar gang failed, it does not mean that their plan failed." After a long pause, he said: "Uncle Xiang is right, logically speaking, King Huainan has no reason to rebel at that time, since he has endured for so many years, it is impossible not to have the patience to wait a little longer." ”
Xuanyuan broke and said: "Guogong, if this is the case, it can only mean that the King of Huainan did not know about Jizang's plan, otherwise he would not be stupid enough to do it himself in advance." ”
"But the case commanded by the Ghost Heavenly Master is indeed in the interests of King Huainan." Qi Ning frowned and said, "Isn't that all that instructed by King Huainan?" ”
Xuanyuan said: "Actually, .....! When the words came to his lips, he didn't continue, Qi Ning said: "It's okay for you to say it."
"Guogong, is it possible that these things are related to the prince of Huainan?" Xuanyuan Po said thoughtfully: "Is it that the prince of Huainan is hiding from the king of Huainan and colluding with Jizo in private?" ”
Qi Ning said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but the prince of Huainan has been staying at home for many years, and he is young, how can he collude with Dizang?" The most important thing is that this person is terminally ill and will die soon, according to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, he will only live for a year and a half, and he colluded with Jizo to rebel, so what is it for? Maybe he would have passed away before the plan could be implemented. ”
"The prince of Huainan is indeed suffering from a serious illness." Xuanyuan broke his head and said: "The Shenhou Mansion has always been staring at the movements of the King of Huainan, the prince of Huainan has rarely gone out these years, he suffers from a strange disease, according to the information investigated by the Shenhou Mansion, he really won't live long." ”
"Is it true that the King of Huainan does not know the existence of Jizo, but he knows the existence of the Ghost Heavenly Master, and the King of Huainan found that the Ghost Heavenly Master could be used, but he was used by the Ghost Heavenly Master?" Yin Wuji said: "There is someone else who is assisted by Jizo? ”
"Who can be the character who can make Jizo do his best to assist?" Qi Ning was puzzled: "In the whole world, who can let this great grandmaster saddle her horse and ignore the hard work?" ”
