Chapter 15: The Eight Divisions of Luofu
Shangguan Gu saw Yang Zhentian's displeasure, and waved his hand to signal the attendants in the hall to all retreat. Putting down the teacup in his hand, he laughed and said, "Brother Yang, don't be angry, it's my brother's fault, the old man apologizes to you here." So saying, he himself got up and bowed his hand.
Yang Zhentian hurriedly got up, clenched his hands into fists and saluted Shangguan Gu, and the two exchanged pleasantries and retreated to their respective positions.
"Don't hide it from Brother Yang, Xiao'er suffered a misfortune in Dongshan last night, and he was still lying in bed unconscious at this time." Shangguan Gu carefully looked at Yang Zhentian, who was sitting at the bottom, and he got straight to the point, hoping to find some clues from the look of the supreme commander in charge of public security in Gyeonggi.
Unexpectedly, Yang Zhentian's eyes were round, extremely surprised, and he exclaimed, "What! The fire in Dongshan turned out to be..."He subconsciously felt that the fire was definitely not aimed at Shangguan Junqian, and it was unthinkable that it was a fire in Longcheng, causing a sea of fire in the entire Dongshan.
Seeing Yang Zhentian's reaction, Shangguan Gu felt that this matter should have nothing to do with the Armor Breaking Army, he slowed down his tone and said in a low voice, "Since my brother already knows, I don't know what you can find today?" β
"Hey! If he knew that Jun Qianxian's nephew was seriously injured in this fire, the elder brother would definitely order someone to thoroughly investigate the entire Dongshan. Yang Zhentian's expression was resolute, and his face did not show the slightest hint of prior knowledge.
"How's that?" Shangguan Gu moved his body forward slightly, and whispered to Yang Zhentian with a smile, "Brother Yang spread the news for Brother Wei, and said that the matter in Dongshan has been recognized, and a few people who committed murder that night have been arrested and locked up in the prison of your armor-breaking army. β
Yang Zhentian nodded understandingly, and responded, "Don't worry, brother, I will order someone to do this immediately, and it will definitely spread throughout the entire Dragon City early tomorrow morning." He knew in his heart that Shangguan Gu was planning to use this fake news to fish out people with intentions.
Shangguan Gu nodded with satisfaction, got up and sat down beside Yang Zhentian, leaned sideways and asked cautiously, "What do you think of the matter of Yuntian Sect?" β
"This matter is the news from the Flying Eagle Rider, I heard that the entire Tianyun Mountain is already a sea of fire, and the entire Yuntian Sect has no living mouth." Yang Zhentian said as he spoke, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly.
Both of them knew very well in their hearts that Yang Zhentian was even worried that Shangguan Gu would suspect that he had done it, but from the other party's plea to help him deal with the fire in Dongshan, he knew it.
"Presumably..."Shangguan Gu was silent for a moment, staring at Yang Zhentian with his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Is there anyone who doubts in my brother's heart?" β
"This..."Yang Zhentian didn't expect the old fox in front of him to push this hot potato into his hands, he paused and said, "Brother made fun of it, our armor-breaking army was ordered to guard Dragon City, and the news was very closed, and the matter of Yuntian Sect was naturally news from the Flying Eagle Horse." β
"Then what does Your Majesty think?" Shangguan Gu waved his hand and sat upright, a wicked smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he asked in a low voice, "Brother also thinks that Canglong did it?" "Although the Flying Eagle Rider is the Eagle Eye of the Imperial Dynasty, if it can eradicate the Yuntian Sect overnight, I'm afraid that the Canglong of the previous Dynasty does not have this ability.
Although Shangguan Gu is no longer an official in the court, after all, he is a protΓ©gΓ© all over the court, and he has some news channels. Hearing his words, Yang Zhentian smiled bitterly, "My brother has always been well-informed, I don't know what I think?" β
"Being able to eradicate the Yuntian Sect with one hand, and it is uprooted, this is simply moving my Luofu Pillar Stone. At this juncture, who do you think is likely to take the risk? Shangguan Gu smiled and pointed at his white hair with his right index finger.
The corners of Yang Zhentian's eyes twitched a few times, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the white-haired old man in front of him, Shangguan Gu, the head of the four great families of Luofu. lowered his voice very low, and asked cautiously, "Who does my brother think it is?" β
"How many years has Your Majesty been in power?" Shangguan Gu laughed loudly.
Yang Zhentian looked at Shangguan Gu, who suddenly laughed, and replied puzzledly, "It's been more than thirty years."
"Thirty-four years to be exact, but..."Shangguan Gu paused for a moment, and his voice suddenly became very low.
"But what?" Yang Zhentian's eyes were firmly fixed on the old man in front of him, and he didn't dare to blink for a moment, for fear of missing every moment of the expression on his face.
Shangguan Gu did not evade, he asked meaningfully again, "How many years has King Yong been in charge of the country?" β
Yang Zhentian's eyebrows were furrowed, and he didn't know why Shangguan Gu suddenly pulled on King Yong again, he replied embarrassedly, "It's been ten years." β
As we all know, since Emperor Wu unified the United States, he rewarded him lavishly, just to consolidate the imperial power. And now, looking at the world, there is Kunwu Mansion in the north and Yuntianzong in the south, and they are in charge of the northern and southern borders of the Luofu Dynasty, and no one can shake anyone. However, the fall of the Yuntian Sect tilted the imperial dynasty's scale, and all eyes were fixed on Xixue City, which was in the extremely cold land of northern Xinjiang.
At the same time, in the past ten years, the emperor was childless and sick, and the affairs of the court and China were all represented by King Yong, and the Xuanwolf Army, a pro-army soldier in his house, became a strong force that rivaled the armor-breaking army.
"Does the old brother suspect that it is His Royal Highness King Yong? No way... Impossible, His Majesty has already summoned the Eight Divisions of Luofu to Beijing to face the saint. Yang Zhentian turned around, propped his arms on the wooden table between the two, and looked at Shangguan Gu who was expressionless.
"Does my brother suspect that General Kunwu is Li Hanbing?" Shangguan Gu's expression tightened, and the matter of Luofu Babu entering Beijing must have another plan.
"It's not my brother who suspects him, it's Your Majesty..." Yang Zhentian didn't finish his words, and hurriedly swallowed the second half of the sentence. Although Li Hanbing is His Majesty's cousin, compared to King Yong's younger brother, everyone is more willing to believe that he is General Kunwu, who holds military power and dominates the north.
Shangguan nodded his head, "No matter who they suspect, the entry of the Luofu Eight Divisions into Beijing is very important, if they encounter any accidents on the way to Beijing..."
"Don't worry, brother, I have already arranged this matter, this time the eight departments will enter Kyoto to be escorted by soldiers with the army, and their movements will be transmitted back to Dragon City by the Eagle Rider anytime and anywhere." With a dry cough, Yang Zhentian shook his head, not worried about what Shangguan Gu mentioned at all. This time, the eight departments of Luofu entered Beijing, and the eight elders even used first-class master guards to protect them.
Shangguan nodded helplessly, "That's fine, if something happens to the Eighth Division, I'm afraid that the entire Luofu will fall into a war again." "Your Majesty's personal summoning of the Eight Ministries back to Beijing is not only an emphasis on Yuntianzong, but also a worry about the crisis of imperial rule. No matter how worried Shangguan Gu was that the Eight Ministers would encounter an accident on the way to Beijing, he was helpless.
"Brother, rest assured, the route of the eight ministers into Beijing is very secretive, and nothing will happen. Furthermore..."Yang Zhentian patted his thigh and laughed. Seeing Shangguan Gu's worried look, he deliberately raised his voice because he didn't want him to worry too much.
Shangguan Gu was stunned for a moment when he saw Yang Zhentian's look in his chest, a glimmer of light flashed in front of him, and he asked, "Is it possible, the eight elders have also invited... They help? β
"Yes, so don't worry, brother. I will definitely turn over Dragon City in the next few days, and I will definitely finish what you have to do. Yang Zhentian got up and arched his hand, and walked out of the hall under the guidance of Shangguan Gu.
