Li Yunchang, the head of the Li family, secretly visited Jin Cangwu of the Jin family in the morning, the Li family and the Jin family are both the two super families in Zhongzhou, although they are not as good as the royal family and the Xu family, but they are also the most important force in the Zhongzhou Empire.

In the past, the secret meeting between the two families would have aroused the suspicion of the royal family. Therefore, although the two heads of the family are both great friends in the court, they rarely meet on weekdays.

However, today is different from the past, and the matter of the zombie army makes them feel that there will be a drastic change in the Zhongzhou Empire.

The Jin family seemed to have anticipated Li Yunchang's arrival for a long time, so Li Yunchang did not stop at the door of the Jin family, and was directly led into the living room of the Jin family by his cronies.

In the living room, Jin Cangwu was dressed in a military uniform, and his resolute face had the momentum of looking at the world, but Li Yunchang still saw a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.

When the two entered the meeting room, the door to the meeting room was closed, and there was not a single servant left inside, and the guard in charge of guarding was moved to a distance of ten meters from the meeting room.

It can be seen that this will be a secret conversation.

After a brief pleasantries, the two went straight to the point.

Jin Cangwu said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Li Yunchang took out a secret letter directly from his collar, on which Li Liyang's movement trajectory was written. As the spiritual leader of the officials, the Li family got the news, although it was later than the emperor, but the content was definitely richer than that of the royal family.

Jin Cangwu hurriedly took the secret letter and looked at it. And he also realized from Li Yunchang's actions that Li Yunchang's purpose in doing this was to hope that neither side would have any secrets in this matter.

From the secret documents provided by Li Yunchang, Jin Cangwu can clearly see the direction of the zombie army led by Li Liyang.

Li Liyang was the county commander of Qinghe County, and later led the zombie army into Xiyang City, and then changed direction and went south to Tianyong City.

The unusual route caught the attention of Jin Cangwu. He was keenly aware that Li Liyang's initial target was not Tianyong City.

He looked up after reading the secret document and found that Li Yunchang was looking at him with bright eyes.

"Why did Li Liyang change direction. Jin Cangwu asked: "Judging from Li Liyang's initial route, his direction is to the north, and he intends to avoid the Tongyang Pass guarded by the Xu family, intending to enter the Northern Empire, but why has it changed again?" Jin Cangwu said.

"There must be something extraordinary happening in Xiyang City. Li Yunchang also nodded in agreement.

"Then what do you think is the thing that made Li Liyang change direction and go south to Tianyong City. Jin Cangwu asked.

Li Yunchang did not answer this question, mainly because he did not know about it. Immediately after, he threw out the second question.

"Do you think Li Liyang's zombie army has anything to do with the Xu family?"

The question was asked, and the room fell silent for a moment.

The two of them are both giants of the Zhongzhou Empire, and if they want to become such a prominent existence, they not only rely on the strong strength of the family, but more importantly, they have a deep understanding of human nature.

In their opinion, there is no essential difference between the existence of gods and demons, but the things they pursue and the state of life are different, just like the existence of cold-blooded and greedy beings in the Zhongzhou Empire than the demons, and in the world of the demons, there are also existences comparable to the saints of the human race.

Whether he is a human or a demon, he has his own pursuits and desires.

And Li Liyang's change of course in the middle of the course also confirmed the correctness of their viewpoint in a certain aspect.

Jin Cangwu didn't dare to answer this question directly, he knew the severity of this question, if the zombie army led by Li Liyang was done by the Xu family, then it meant that the Xu family's goal was the throne.

If this is the case, the Xu family will definitely contact the Li family and the Jin family secretly. But the Xu family didn't.

Jin Cangwu said: "According to the Jin family's informant, before and after the operation of Li Liyang's zombie army, the Xu family did not have large-scale operations. "This kind of large-scale operation refers to the large-scale movement of troops, as well as the large-scale transfer of grain and grass.

Li Yunchang said on the side: "According to the records of the Ministry of Officials, the Xu family also did not have the transfer of officials before and after Li Liyang's departure. ”

Generally speaking, the feudal officials of a place must make all preparations before starting an incident, such as the advance of the army, the secret allocation of grain, and the control of extremely important official positions.

But all this, the Xu family did not do.

If based on historical experience, these actions of the Xu family can directly negate the suspicion that they intended to cause trouble. But the world is unpredictable, and everything cannot be generalized.

Perhaps, the Xu family has an extremely powerful power, and this power makes him not need to care about the reactions of the other major families in the Zhongzhou Empire.

All this is difficult to speculate on until now.

"What's the queen's reaction?" Jin Cangwu asked.

Li Yunchang said: "There is no abnormal reaction. Her actions did not come as a surprise to me. ”

Jin Cangwu frowned: "Then you mean that it is very likely that the queen did not know about the existence of this action beforehand." ”

Li Yunchang said: "If the Empress knew about this action in advance, and Li Liyang was secretly controlled by the Xu family, then he would definitely be ready to flee from Tianyun City, but we didn't find this anomaly." ”

The queen's existence in Tianyong City is not just as the spokesperson of the Xu family in Tianyong City, after the crisis, more importantly, the hostages left by the Xu family in Tianyong City.

"And Matilda has secretly spied on the Empress. If this incident is really committed by the Xu family, it means that the queen's life will not be guaranteed. ”

"And my doorman told me that at three o'clock in the morning yesterday, the three princes, King Wuxuan, and Shangguan Zhiling had also secretly left the imperial city. Even as we talked, the 50,000 Praetorian Guards stationed south of Tianyun City were still on their way, and their destination was the river valley. Li Yunchang said.

"In that case, Mingde can't tell who is behind this zombie power?" Jin Cangwu said meaningfully.

The river valley region was the second largest grain producer of the Zhongzhou Empire, and its prosperity was second only to Tianyong City and the Zhongzhou region controlled by the Jin family. Moreover, the valley area is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is only a narrow passage at the entrance and exit, which is enough to control the area and allow the power of the royal family to continue.

However, Emperor Mingde's move also gave the Jin family and the Li family a reminder.

At this juncture, neither side has reservations.

Li Yunchang pondered for a moment and said, "I'm going to mobilize 100,000 troops to enter the Zhongzhou region, how about it?"

This proposal made Jin Cangwu's face change subtly. A soldier is the head of politics. Control the most important force in a region, that is, the strength of the army.
