"Yuqing Daoist, the Moon Worship Committee is really rampant, repeatedly provoking this king, and now he is even more wanton, and he dares to collude with traitors to assassinate this king, is it really easy to be a king? This time, if the Taoist master makes a move, this king will definitely seek justice from the Lunatic Cult! ”

Gao Changgong angrily left his seat and got up, the cold light in his eyes flickered, and a compelling royal majesty spread out freely on his body.

As the concubine of Emperor Shenwu Gao Huan, Gao Changgong is no stranger to the Lunatic Cult, and he also has some understanding of its relationship with the Gao family, not to mention the relationship between Zhang Rong, Gao Changgong is much clearer about the Lunatic Sect than ordinary people.

Decades ago, Gao Huan raised troops from the Six Towns and finally established the Eastern Wei regime, in which the Lunatic Cult contributed a lot, but with Gao Huan's domineering and shrewdness, it is obvious that he will not fully trust the Lunatic Cult, otherwise he will not become a puppet, and all his efforts will also make others into wedding dresses.

Therefore, under Gao Huan's conscious control, even though the Lunatic Cult has gained many benefits, it has not reached the level of rebellion. And the decision-makers of the Lunatic Cult are not mediocre, they will not blindly clash with the imperial power, but seek development in secret, which is why the foundation of the Lunatic Cult can survive for hundreds of years.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains has changed its dynasties, but the wealthy family has always stood tall, not only because of the characteristics of the times, but also because of its unique rules for survival.

As a giant behind the Northern Qi Empire, the Lunatic Cult has entanglements with many wealthy families in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and its connections and power are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Whether it is Gao Changgong or Xing, the reason why the attitude towards the Lunatic Worship Sect is ambiguous is that he does not want the two sides to completely tear their faces, and in the end, both sides will lose and let others get cheap. After all, the situation in Northern Qi is now turbulent, strong enemies are around, infighting is not stopped, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything, and when the world is in turmoil, the lives will be ruined, and the temperament of the father and son does not want to see this kind of thing.

However, at this time, Gao Changgong was completely enraged by the Lunatic Cult. Thinking that he is a dignified prince, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but he can't protect his family, and he has been repeatedly succeeded by the Lunatic Worship Sect, and he is disgraced, even his daughter-in-law almost died, what face is there at all?

Now that his face has been torn, what else do he need to take into account, the kindness to the enemy is cruelty to himself, it is Gao Changgong who finally made up his mind to fight with the Lunatic Cult, and his words were filled with an angry and murderous atmosphere.

"The prince loves the little apprentice, and the poor Dao is very grateful in his heart." Yuqing Daoist Shi saluted and thanked him, and then changed his words, and said sharply: "It's just that Gao Song bullies the small and my apprentice with the big, but the poor Dao can't tolerate him, and this time he will definitely compete with him, so that he knows that this world is not the only one in his Moon Worship Sect!" ”

Gao Changgong nodded with a smile and said: "If the Taoist wants to be the king himself, he will not stop you, but the Moon Worship Sect has many powerful people, if the Taoist has a need, please say it!" ”

"Then thank you so much!" Daoist Yuqing smiled gratefully, then picked up the wine bottle in front of him and said, "Lord Wang, I salute you with a glass, thank you for your love for the apprentice!" ”

Gao Changgong sat down again, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Yes, Dao Chief, please!" ”

……

The north of Yecheng, the moon villa.

"What's wrong with Kang'er, you say it again!" Gao Chong's eyes widened, his hands clutched the armrests on the chair, and he gritted his teeth and said tremblingly. Under the flickering candlelight, Zhang Chong's face was gloomy like water, his eyes were faintly bloody, his body was awe-inspiring with murderous intent, and his breath was unstable, like a fierce beast that wanted to choose people and devour.

Opposite Zhang Chong, kneeling was a middle-aged man who was not good-looking, dressed as a farmer, but his hands were extremely strong, and he looked very hard and powerful.

At this time, hearing Zhang Chong's eager, frightened, and hopeful question, the middle-aged man was shocked, a touch of fear flashed in his eyes, his lips pursed a few times, and finally he couldn't withstand the huge pressure on Zhang Chong's body, and said in a low voice: "Master, three days ago, Gao Changgong announced to the world that the young master would be sentenced to car splitting in the downtown area for the crime of rebellion, and all the three hundred disciples of my sect were also shown to the public by Gao Changgong!" ”

"The car cracks!" Zhang Chong got up suddenly, his eyes were round with anger, his hands were too strong, and he actually crushed the armrest of the pear wood chair, his fat face was even more distorted, and his voice seemed to be as eerie and terrifying as if it came from Jiuyou: "Gao Changgong, you are so ruthless, so poisonous!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Chong's body suddenly exuded a terrifying aura, which made the middle-aged man on the opposite side snort, his face was pale, his whole body trembled, and he fell to the ground deeply, and he didn't dare to come out.

"Kang'er, Kang'er, my poor Kang'er!" Zhang Chong burst into tears, and his voice was sad and desolate, "Kang'er, grandpa hasn't had time to save you, you, why did you die like this, you died so miserably!" ”

He was planning to go to Jinyang to rescue Zhang Mingkang in person, but where did he think that Gao Changgong would be so bold that he did not hesitate to turn against the Lunatic Sect, not only convicted Zhang Mingkang of a felony, but also sentenced him to the punishment of car splitting (five horses or five oxen splitting the corpse), and did not even leave a whole corpse.

At this moment, Zhang Chong was no longer the three elders who were powerful, cloud-overning, and vicious in the Lunatic Worship Sect, just an ordinary old man, grieving and angry because of the tragic death of his nephew.

After a long time, Zhang Chong sat down on the chair tiredly, and the whole person had regained his calm, whether it was his expression, eyes, or the breath on his body, he had become very calm, and he was terrifyingly calm.

In the middle-aged man's fear and restlessness, Zhang Chongti wrote eight words on the note, "Cooperation begins, chickens and dogs do not stay", the font is strong and powerful, almost wanting to come out of the paper, and the awe-inspiring killing intent on it is even more overwhelming.

After putting down the pen, Zhang Chong folded the note, took out a thing from his arms and handed it to the middle-aged man, and said solemnly: "You immediately go to the Yuelai Inn in the city, and hand over the letter and this jade pendant to the one-armed swordsman, there must be no mistake!" ”

The middle-aged man respectfully took it, only to find that it was a jade pendant with a dragon and phoenix, but now it is only half a piece, the mouth is still new, and the cut is very neat and smooth. Knowing that this was a communication certificate, the middle-aged man did not dare to slack off, and carefully put it away closely, so he kowtowed and saluted: "Master, the villain must live up to his mission." ”

Looking at the figure of the middle-aged man disappearing into the night, Zhang Chong's narrow eyes suddenly burst out with a cold and resentful light, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Happy, you dare to kill my nephew, the old man will definitely make your family ruined, and there is no place to bury you!" Liu Zhong, you old man, the old man has put up with you for a long time, I want you to go down and make amends to Kang'er! Wait, all of you! ”

Moon Worship Villa, in the opposite direction of Zhang Chong's residence lives the second elder Liu Zhong, the second elder of Taishang, and the news of the death of Zhang Mingkang and the three hundred disciples of the Moon Worship Sect naturally also spread here, but unlike the former, Liu Zhong is more afraid and worried.

Liu Zhong knew that Gao Changgong killed Zhang Mingkang and the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect in order to take revenge, to retaliate against Zhang Chong's wanton behavior and despicable assassination of people in the palace, especially Lu Hanyue and Yang Lihua, two people with special identities. Although there was no direct evidence that the assassin who assassinated Yang Lihua was a member of the Lunatic Cult, Liu Zhong knew that it must have been the work of the die-hard Zhang Chong brothers.

Liu Zhong understood Gao Changgong's approach, but he was even more angry at Zhang Chong. Not to mention that Zhang's name is contemptuous and despicable, relying on Zhang Chong's name in the sect to do nonsense, which makes many secters quite slight, not to mention that he has privately provoked and happy many times, resulting in a stalemate in the relationship between the two sides, and Zhang Chong is even more disregarded of the overall situation, pretending to be public and private, and trapping thousands of disciples of the Moon Worship Sect in danger, which is really annoying.

Originally, through Liu Zhong's efforts, the relationship between the Lunatic Cult and the happy father and son had been greatly improved, even though they could not fully cooperate, but the existing interests could still be guaranteed, but now they were completely on the opposite side, and they would not die, which was not good for the Lunatic Sect.

Yecheng has been broken, Gao Wei died, Gao Yanzong also "unfortunately" died at the hands of assassins, Gao Xiang was captured, throughout the entire Northern Qi Dynasty, the only one with some prestige in the Gao royal family is King Fanyang (King Yan) Gao Shaoyi, but compared to Gao Changgong's father and son, whether it is prestige or power, Gao Shaoyi is so bad that he can't be tricked.

Do you want to worship the moon and teach yourself to be the emperor? Not to mention how much effort it takes to say that the name is not right, and this practice is even more inconsistent with the canons of the Lunatic Cult.

You don't see, there are only thousand-year-old families in this world, how can there ever be a thousand-year-old dynasty. The infinite scenery of the emperor's house is only one generation, once the dynasty is changed, it is difficult to escape the fate of overturning and extinction. Only by being behind the scenes can we have more opportunities to mediate and stand in the world for thousands of years without falling.

"Master, now that no one in the entire Qi Kingdom can compete with Gao Changgong, Gao Changgong's ascension to the throne and the emperor is unstoppable, but now how should we deal with ourselves?" Wu Zhaoxiu frowned slightly, looking at Liu Zhong who was frowning, and his cold voice did not carry a trace of emotion.

"Ahh

sighed before speaking, Liu Zhong's face became even more bitter, and he said in a gloomy tone: "For this occasion, we can only start first, except for Gao Changgong's father and son, and then do what he thinks." ”

Wu Zhao smiled silently and said lightly: "Can we win?" ”

Liu Zhong sighed gloomily, shook his head and said: "Gao Changgong is already vigilant, and if he wants to assassinate again, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult, he has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and our chances of victory are really slim!" ”

"In that case, why should we fight with him?" Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows, and his tone couldn't help but be a little higher.

Liu Zhong was stunned, then looked at Wu Zhao in surprise and said, "Zhao'er, do you have a way to resolve the current crisis?" ”

Wu Zhao smiled confidently, his mouth opened lightly, and his voice was like a pearl, crisp and pleasant: "Master, let me ask you, who is the one who has a grudge against Gao Changgong?" ”

Liu Zhong was stunned, suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he replied in a deep voice: "Zhang Chong." ”

"Yes!" Wu Zhao chuckled and said, "Master, although Zhang Song is a member of the Lunatic Sect, he can't represent my Lunatic Sect, not to mention that the assassination of the regent was done by him privately, without the instructions of the Council of Elders. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zhao paused, the smile on his pretty face retracted, his eyes became cold, and he said in a low and cold tone: "Master, if the assassin confers the head, and my Lunatic Sect shows enough sincerity, I don't think that according to the regent's wisdom and wisdom, he will not fight to the death with my sect again, right?" ”
