Seeing him suddenly say such a sentence, Xu Chengzong's heart was also tight, and then he found that his whole body was so weak that he couldn't move, which made his face change: "This ...... Uncle Zhang? As he spoke, he looked at his housekeeper in front of him.

And Xu Zhang's face had changed to a gloomy smile at this time: "Lord Lu is careful enough, and he can guess the problem at once." It's a pity that you're still a little late, the medicinal properties of this soft tendon powder have already attacked, and you two don't even want to move a finger. ”

After a pause, he turned his head to look at Xu Chengzong again, shook his head and sighed: "Second master, I didn't expect you to disappoint me after all." I thought you had already made up your mind after more than ten years. And Xu Xianzong, who was originally hindering our troubles, has also been eliminated by me, so you should have no worries. It's really unthinkable that your indecisive temperament is still used by him, and you actually have the intention of giving up at this critical juncture. ”

"What do you say? Didn't my eldest brother kill himself? Xu Chengzong's eyes widened suddenly, his face was incredulous, and his body tried even harder to stand up, but he only moved a little and sat back down.

"At this time, I might as well tell you the truth, Xu Xianzong was the one I got rid of. You don't want to think about it, he has been controlled by me with soft tendons for many years, and his muscles and bones are already soft, how can he still have the ability to cut his neck with porcelain pieces and commit suicide? Xu Zhang spoke without the slightest fluctuation, as if what he had killed was just an insignificant little person.

And Xu Chengzong, at this time, his eyes were already red, and his eyes were about to split: "Xu Zhang! You are so bold that you dare to harm my brother, he is the Duke of Wei who was enshrined by the imperial court! ”

"So what? What I want to do is a major event of the uprising, and even the emperor has been killed, do I still care about a little Duke of Wei? If it weren't for your great use to me, I would have gotten rid of you and I a long time ago! Xu Zhang replied nonchalantly.

"You...... How so? Are you a slave of my Xu family...... How did you come up with such an idea? Xu Chengzong was completely stunned, and roared tremblingly: "My Xu family has always been kind to you for many years, and you have such wolf ambitions!" ”

A faint sigh sounded from the side, and Lu Zhen spoke again: "Brother Xu, it's all this time, do you still think this Xu Zhang is the house slave you think?" I've warned you before that this man is not easy. I'm afraid that more than ten years ago, this game was laid out, right? ”

"You're smart enough to see who I am so quickly." Xu Zhang glanced at Lu Zhen again, his eyes were full of coldness: "Yes, for today, I have endured humiliation in the Xu family for more than ten years, and I have become the current power and management of affairs as an inconspicuous house slave, and finally let him be used by me, and decided to raise troops...... You can't imagine how many sacrifices I've made in the past ten years. So, do you think I'm going to let you ruin this perfect plan of mine? ”

"Who the hell are you?" Lu Zhen didn't answer his words, but stared at the other party for a moment: "With your heart, it can't be an ordinary person." ”

"Haha...... At this time, I am not afraid to tell you that the old man is Xu Ziyang, the current leader of the White Lotus Holy Sect! "Xu Zhang, no, now I should call his real name Xu Ziyang, I saw him stroke his beard. While revealing his identity, his original somewhat rickety body had already stood upright, and his body exuded a terrifying momentum and pressure.

This time, even Lu Zhen was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that this steward who had endured in the Wei Mansion for many years and looked inconspicuous was actually the leader of the White Lotus Sect, which was regarded as the biggest hidden danger by the imperial court!

A few years ago, he had also dealt with the White Lotus Sect several times, and he had also learned their insidious methods. But no matter how those guys used their conspiracy and how they took advantage of the situation, they couldn't compare to the methods of this sect master. He was willing to endure being a slave and stayed in the Xu family for more than ten years, and set up such a big situation.

To be honest, if I hadn't happened to ask for my life to come to Nanjing, I was afraid that this turmoil would be inevitable. This is much bigger than the disturbance made by the White Lotus Sect in Jiangnan and other places in the past, this is a real rebellion and rebellion. Moreover, with the prestige of the Xu family of the Duke of Wei in the government and the opposition, once they raise troops under their banner, and cooperate with Zhu Qizhen in the palace, I am afraid that this rebellion can really pose a great threat to the Ming court.

After thinking about this, Lu Jin's expression became more and more nervous, and as for Xu Chengzong beside him, he was completely stunned. He couldn't have imagined that Uncle Zhang, who had been diligent and honest in front of him all these years, would actually be the leader of the White Lotus Sect!

Lu Zhen suddenly sneered again: "I'm afraid things may not be exactly as you said." It is actually impossible for you to infiltrate the Wei State Mansion in advance, right? ”

This speculation couldn't help but make Xu Ziyang slightly stunned, and then nodded and said: "You are thoughtful, yes, originally I mixed into the Xu family just to avoid the pursuit of the bull's nose of Wudang Sect Leader Xianyun......" While speaking, his face couldn't help but flash a trace of fear.

Even after so many years, he still remembers the situation when Wudang was in charge of Xianyun to help the imperial court find him and fight with him. At that time, although his martial arts had entered the realm, he could not compare to the cultivation of others for nearly seventy years, and under the first battle, he was seriously injured and could only escape by some small means.

But Xianyun, a bull-nosed lackey who is bent on being a lackey of the government, actually refuses to let himself go. In desperation, he fled into the city of Nanjing, killed a house slave named Xu Zhang, and borrowed his identity, which escaped a catastrophe. However, in the end, it also paid a heavy price......

But now it seems that it was all worth it. If it weren't for this, how could it take me more than ten years to achieve this ultimate goal?

After letting out a long sigh of relief and suppressing the fear of the past, Xu Ziyang smiled proudly again: "No matter what I got into the Xu family for, my purpose has been achieved anyway." After today, the officers and soldiers of Nanjing will raise troops under the banner of fighting traitors for the country and avenging the Wei state. When the time comes, there will be Zhu Qizhen and others inside, and hundreds of thousands of brothers and believers of our Holy Sect outside, and the Ming Kingdom will inevitably be completely overturned. When I invade Beijing, I will kill all the people of the Zhu family, and then I will be the lord of the world! As he spoke, he let out a burst of arrogant and hearty laughter.

Lu Zhen stared at the other party and interrupted in a cold voice: "You seem to have forgotten something, didn't Brother Xu already say it just now, it is impossible for him to be used by you again." Moreover, the soldiers of Zhejiang have been displayed on the border of the two provinces, and there is still a filial piety guard in the city......"

"Ha......" Xu Ziyang waved his hand violently and interrupted his speech: "It's enough for you to use these words to scare Xu Chengzong, but don't try to scare the old man." It is not so easy for the local soldiers and horses of the Ming Court to leave the country, if they dare to leave the garrison without permission, it is almost like rebellion, no one will have such courage, even if they do know that we are raising troops. In addition, although the soldiers and horses of Xiaolingwei will have some restraining effect, they are still vulnerable compared to the officials and troops in the city. The old man has already thought about this. ”

This person really sees it more thoroughly than Xu Chengzong, and Lu Jin's half-truths and half-truths can't affect him at all. And after seeing Lu Jin's speechlessness, Xu Chengzong's heart was uncomfortable for a while, it turned out that all this Lu Zhen mentioned was just a bluff, and he was actually bluffed by him. He is really not a person who can do great things, at least in terms of temperament, he is far inferior to the two people in front of him.

But then, he was a little glad again. If I wasn't firm enough, I'm afraid I would really have to be used by others this time, and eventually make an irreparable mistake. He had heard Xu Ziyang's words clearly just now, and the other party simply wanted to be the emperor himself. It's ridiculous, I had fantasized about being able to replace the Zhu family before, but it turned out to be just a pawn used by others.

"Xu Ziyang, don't think that you can succeed anymore, as long as I Xu Chengzong has one day, my army in Nanjing will not rebel! Moreover, everyone knows that my brother died of illness, so how can we avenge him? Xu Chengzong immediately retorted.

A sneer came out of the corner of Xu Ziyang's mouth, and his eyes were full of murderous intent: "What I said about revenge for the Wei State Gazette is not Xu Xianzong'......"

"Who is that?" Xu Chengzong's heart trembled suddenly, and an idea that made him panic in his heart suddenly came out.

Xu Ziyang stared at him for a long time before he said, "Since you already know my identity and have been persuaded by Lu Jin, it is naturally impossible for the old man to keep you in bad things." So, of course, this Wei Guogong is referring to you. ”

After a pause, a smug smile appeared on his face again: "Today, because Lu Zhen sensed your impending plot, he killed you." And I, the loyal steward, of course, want to avenge you, so I killed Lu Jin, the dog official of the court. Then, our army in Nanjing can play the banner of avenging you and raise troops against the Ming court in a dignified manner. Don't worry, at least before we enter Beijing, the old man will still serve your son as the master of the three armies, but after that, it's hard to say. ”

"You dare!" Xu Chengzong shouted loudly, his body struggling to get up, but he couldn't even leave the chair at this time, and could only watch the other party get closer little by little.

It was Lu Jin, who still seemed quite calm at this time, staring coldly at Xu Ziyang who was approaching: "Your plan is indeed thorough, but unfortunately, there are still some loopholes!" ”
