Chapter Ninety-Four: Evil or Lucky
Lu Zhizhen immediately became alert: "Are you just talking about a premonition?" ”
Li Daochun nodded: "It's just a hunch, there is no basis." ”
Niu Ba was also very worried, he knew that Li Daochun had been working with Cheng Shaoqing for a long time in the Sentence Hall. Whether in peacetime or on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition against Fan Luobai's rebels, Li Daochun was often around Cheng Shaoqing. Therefore, the judgments he made, even including the premonitions, must be grounded.
Judging from the current situation, the most powerful person in the demon city should be Cheng Shaoqing. On the surface, the five elders are three out of five, and now the first one should be Wang Zhenji. However, although Wang Zhenji's status is high, he is older than his ancestor. Therefore, although Wang Zhenji has great influence, he has long since stopped serving as a teacher.
Yin Changsheng and Cheng Shaoqing teamed up to suppress Wei Fu and Lin Ji, but Cheng Shaoqing obtained the military power of the Tianshu Army. On the surface, Yin Changsheng grabbed the military and political power, as if he was the heir of the ancestor of the White Lotus Sect. However, it has no foundation in the army, and is actually set aside by Cheng Shaoqing.
Lu Zhizhen said: "Even the words of the current acting head of the Yin Changsheng sect Cheng Shaoqing sometimes dare not listen to it, we can only listen to his words and watch his deeds for the time being." ”
However, at the time of this turmoil, another unexpected thing happened. Wei Dalong, the deputy admiral of the Fire Spirit Sect, actually launched a mutiny, and the warships approached the Juanjutang, claiming to capture Cheng Shaoqing alive and clear the traitors in the White Lotus. I don't know how many rebellious soldiers came to the Qiangjutang, and for a while, the rumors were full of rumors, and the army's morale was in turmoil.
The military situation is like fire, the chaotic soldiers are getting closer and closer, and all the military academies persuade Cheng Shaoqing to avoid his soldiers. A junior colonel ran in front of Cheng Shaoqing: "Report to the superintendent, the car is ready, it's time for us to go." ”
Cheng Shaoqing still stood still. "Why should I leave the Demon City?" He turned his head and asked, "Why?" ”
The person who came was speechless, and Cheng Shaoqing raised his voice: "I am the chief inspector of the demon city, and I have soldiers and generals under me, why should I leave the demon city?" ”
Looking at the large and small military academies beside him, Cheng Shaoqing said: "I am the chief inspector of the Gallium Sentence Hall appointed by the patriarch, and I am also the new director of the White Lotus Sect Army, all the soldiers of the Gallium Sentence Hall, especially the cadet army of the Commander Hall, and all the soldiers and generals of Nanhai County must listen to me." ”
"If the rebels come to the Demon City, the person who will leave should not be me, but their Fire Spirit Sect, it is the person from their Beiju Luzhou and his damned Yin Changsheng, pass on my orders!" Saying that, Cheng Shaoqing began to issue military orders, "Wei Dalong, the deputy commander of the Water Investigation Division, Huo Lingjiao, mobilized warships to launch a mutiny without authorization, and plotted against him. I declare that from now on, that is, now, the demon city will enter an emergency alert and cut off the traffic inside and outside the demon city. ”
"Yes." Cheng Shaoqing's subordinates answered.
"Many Fire Spirit Sect believers in the demon city have already been armed, and now immediately collect their weapons." Cheng Shaoqing added: "In addition to immediately confiscating the blades in the hands of the Fire Spirit Sect in the Demon City, seize all the Fire Spirit disciples in the Heavenly Pivot Army of this Sect and the Cadre Army of the Sentence Hall, remove Wei Dalong from the post of Deputy Admiral of the Water Division, immediately arrest him, and appoint Huangfu Gewei as the new Deputy Admiral of the Water Division." ”
"Yes."
"Immediately surround the Huode Building at the entrance of the South China Sea Helm of the Fire Spirit Sect. Surround the residence of the sect's representative head Yin Changsheng, and do not allow him to enter and leave at will. The residence of the envoys of the Fire Spirit Sect of Beiju Luzhou, which surrounded Dongshan in Nanhai County. ”
"Yes."
The Mutiny of the Navy Division occurred, and the Demon City was in turmoil for a while. Niu Ba's deputy, Zhao Yanbin, discussed with Niu Ba what to do next at his residence.
Zhao Yanbin said: "Now the city is full of rumors, and I don't know which one is true and which one is false." Some people say that Yin Changsheng wants to use the power of the Fire Spirit Sect of Beiju Luzhou to clean up this Cheng Shaoqing, and some say that Cheng Shaoqing wants to drive Yin Changsheng out of the demon city. ”
Liu Susu said: "This is not surprising, originally after the death of the ancestor immortal, the White Lotus Sect was the five giants in power. Get rid of a semi-retired Wang Zhenji, the Big Four will definitely not accept anyone. Now that Wei Fu and Lin Ji are out, there are only two people left. Anyway, it seems that there are no two tigers in one mountain, and I don't know which of them will make a move first. ”
Niu Ba clapped his hands and said: "Madam is right, the situation in the demon city is very strange now, the envoy of the White Lotus Sect, Master Shuiyue, and the chief instructor Qingyangzi have all returned to the main altar, and the current head of Beiju Luzhou here is a true master." The Venerable Master didn't know much about the situation of the various forces in the Demon City now, so Cheng Shaoqing, who was in charge of the military and political power, once said that the chief sect of Beiju Luzhou was suspicious of him and wanted to resign. In my opinion, his resignation as a Shaoqing is fake, and it is true that he is acting behind his back. ”
At this time, they remembered the eager knock on the door, and the three of them were shocked.
I heard a person shouting outside the door, "Elder Niu, Elder Niu." Liu Susu went to open the door.
The person who came was a tall and thin Fire Spirit disciple: "Elder Niu, Elder Niu, the surname Cheng has done it." Now that all the gates of the demon city have been sealed, I heard that all the blades in the hands of our fire spirit disciples have been confiscated, and now the streets are full of Cheng Shaoqing's soldiers. ”
Liu Susu was shocked when she heard these bad news, and she took a look at Niu Ba.
Niu Ba was still calm, but he also frowned, and said, "It seems that Cheng Shaoqing is going to do it." After a moment's thought, he immediately deployed: "We can't sit still, I'm going to divide the rudder to contact our people soon, and you are here to wait for my news." Yanbin, you go and tell the news to other people, and let them come to me at the helm. ”
Liu Susu hurriedly said: "You should pay attention to safety when you go out now." ”
Niu Ba nodded, and led the two out of the residence. Liu Susu looked at Niu Ba's back and was reluctant, and she didn't know whether this was evil or lucky.
When Niu Ba came to the outside of the entrance of the rudder hall, he found that there were already White Lotus Sect soldiers guarding it. When these wolf-like white lotus soldiers saw someone coming, they drew their guns and swords, and stopped: "Stand, mother, what are you doing?" ”
Niu Ba was furious and shouted: "Good boy, I am the elder of the White Lotus Hall, which of you dares to stop it?" ”
The soldiers were given a death order that no one should be allowed to enter the building. Therefore, they refused to do anything, and they forcibly blocked their way when they came forward. Niu Ba was too lazy to waste his words with these people, pushed a few people aside, and strode in.
Niu Ba came to the entrance of the hall and saw that a few scribes were still there. Niu Ba asked, "Where is Lu Zhizhen?" ”
One of the scribes replied, "He has just left." ”
Several others nodded. It turned out that Lu Zhizhen was not at ease, and he had already rushed to Dongshan, the residence of the envoy of the North Ju Luzhou General Altar.
Lu Zhizhen was walking briskly alone in the dark night, and when he was close to the residence of the Beiju Luzhou envoy group, he was stopped by the White Lotus Sect soldiers: "What are you doing here?" ”
