Chapter One Thousand and Eighty-Two

"Eight Million Army ......"

Fang Yun was silent for a long time in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He could have imagined what a tragic scene such a huge number would be on the battlefield.

"Take out a billion taels of gold as a pension! Give it to the widows of these fallen soldiers!"

Fang Yun looked at Zhao Boyan and commanded.

Zhao Boyan was stunned, this is not a decimal. However, with their relationship with the Treasure Chamber. Throwing out some magic weapon transactions, coupled with the few gold ore veins that Fang Yun plundered from the Ying Wilderness, it should still be enough.

"Yes, sir!"

Zhao Boyan readily agreed.

Fang Yun thought of appeasing the fallen soldiers and their relics. But what Zhao Boyan thought of was to take this opportunity to buy people's hearts.

The court turmoil had just been decided, and the use of gold was not yet so obvious and so important. It is a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to buy people's hearts and establish the benevolence of the champion Hou. Although Fang Yun probably wouldn't agree with his next move, as a subordinate, shouldn't he share the worries of the Lord?

Zhao Boyan pressed the thought in his heart and didn't say it.

Fang Yun nodded and continued to look down.

This time, the loss of the imperial court was not as simple as eight million armor soldiers. Behind this data, there is also a long list. I don't know how many people in the art of war, who are good at fighting princes, died on the battlefields of the Quartet. Marquis of Good War, Marquis of Wuchang...... , a long list, Fang Yun sighed in his heart.

Among these princes, there were quite a few people, and Fang Yun had also talked to them, subordinate to his lineage. But he died on the battlefield like this.

The Marquis of Good War died in battle, the Marquis of Manghuang was shocked to break his meridians, his skills were exhausted, and the Marquis of Faithfulness broke a left arm...... , and I don't know how many princes died on victory.

For the Great Zhou Dynasty, the death of these princes was a great loss. Although this victory was won, for a long time, it was difficult to fill the vacancies in commanders created by these princes!

In addition to the ordinary regular army, in this Shangjing, the imperial court was responsible for guarding the capital's military strength, and it also suffered heavy losses.

The forbidden army was directly disabled. Of the 80,000 men left in the conquest army, the Shenwei army suffered the heaviest losses. Almost lost staffing. Only a few hundred remained. However, those who survived were all the elite of the elite, the strongest of the strong!

The eight martial marquis of the imperial court, the mighty marquis, the brave marquis, and the liewu marquis were killed in battle, and the Shenwu marquis and the Yuanwu marquis were seriously injured. Only Wang Xichao and Shengwuhou are still unharmed. There is only one Tianwu Hou left, and he is missing. However, Fang Yun vaguely remembered that when the sect was defeated, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a demonic qi that wrapped around the place where Tianwu Hou was standing. Then, he disappeared without a trace.

"This guy won't be so unlucky, right?"

Fang Yun muttered to himself, a strange look in his eyes. If he remembered correctly, that true qi should be the "Chaos True Qi" unique to the Chaos Demon Ancestor. The Marquis of Tianwu survived the most tragic killing process, but when the sect was finally defeated, he fell into the hands of the Chaos Ancestor. The back of luck is breathtaking.

In all fairness, Fang Yun is not the kind of person who falls into the trap. Seeing that Tianwu Hou was taken captive, he didn't do anything. It's just that at that time, it was too far away. Moreover, the strength of the Chaos Ancestor was too strong, it was just a trance, and the Tianwu Marquis disappeared. It's too late to save it.

"The wicked have their own wicked people! Tianwu Hou! Because of your identity, I can attack you. However, I didn't expect the Chaos Ancestor to do it for me!"

Fang Yun shook his head secretly in his heart. The exile of the Marquis of Tianwu was a great loss for the imperial court, which had experienced an eventful autumn. Fang Yun would not gloat, but he could not commit false compassion either. Tianwu Hou was very hostile to the Fang family at the beginning, and when they met, they opened their mouths with a back-to-back bone and closed their mouths with a back-to-back bone, which made people very unhappy!

Now, he has been taken captive by the Chaos Ancestor. can only blame his life for not being hard enough, and blame others!

"I asked you to find out the news of the third prince, have you found out?"

Fang Yun roughly skimmed through the content of the message excerpt, his eyes swept over, and then fell to Zhao Boyan on the ground, paused, and asked:

"I asked you to find out the news of the three adults, Taifu, Taibao, and Dazai, has it been settled?"

During this time, there was an incident that caused a stir at the imperial court. That is, after the war, the whereabouts of the three dukes were suddenly unknown, and there was no trace of them.

The battle of Shangjing, Fang Yun remembered it clearly. After toasting Zhuang Sichen to sacrifice his sword and turn into dust. Sangong was obviously still standing behind him, and he was unharmed. Later, when the Emperor of the People gathered his ministers to rebuild the earth, Fang Yun was concerned about his mother and didn't pay too much attention to it.

But unexpectedly, when the imperial court was ready to reorganize the six departments, the third duke suddenly disappeared without a trace. It's as if the world has evaporated.

The three of them said goodbye and disappeared without a trace. Even Zhang Ying, as a disciple of Taifu, did not receive the slightest disappearance. The three powerless three princes disappeared from under the noses of a martial arts powerhouse, this kind of thing is incredible!

The "Three Princes" have been in charge of the imperial court for so many years, and the prestige and influence accumulated by the government and the opposition are unimaginable to ordinary people. Moreover, Taimiao toasted Zhuang Sichen, at the cost of thousands of years of Confucianism's lifeline, sacrificed the sword with his body, and re-keyed the holy sword of the human emperor, and finally turned the tide and reversed the chaos, which was the prestige of Confucianism, which reached an incredible point after the war.

The existence of Confucianism is very important. As the leader of Confucianism, the Three Princes have a role that cannot be ignored!

At this special time, the sudden disappearance of the Three Princes was a huge and unbearable blow to the entire Great Zhou Dynasty! Now, I don't know how many people are looking for the whereabouts of the Three Princes.

"Back to the Hou Ye, in the past few days, I have ordered moths from all over the country to search for the whereabouts of the third duke. Pay special attention to the elderly who go into the city. So far, though, there hasn't been any news. ”

Zhao Boyan has been running the Ear and Eye News Agency under Fang Yun's name for several years. The current scale can be said to have reached the point of being one or two in the world. Even the remote wilderness in the north, that kind of cold place, was infiltrated by him.

It can be said that with the current huge network, even if a mosquito flies into the city, Zhao Boyan can disappear immediately. Not to mention the three *** living people.

"Lord Hou......"

Zhao Boyan frowned, glanced at Fang Yun, and said with some hesitation: "There is a saying, subordinates don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"There's nothing to talk about, just say whatever you think. ”

Fang Yun waved his hand.

"Ever since I received the order from Lord Hou, my subordinates have been thinking about this matter. Until now, my subordinates have always felt that this matter is strange. ”

Zhao Boyan paused, seeing that Fang Yun did not have an unhappy look, and even looked thoughtful, his heart was settled, and he continued:

"With the status of the three dukes, at this moment, it is the time for them to help people's hearts. Even if there is no order from the emperor. They should do the same. They ignored it and left at this time. And Hou Ye also said that they must not be taken captive by the sect. Then this thing is very weird. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Fang Yun frowned.

"Master Hou, then the subordinate will say it directly. If it's a denomination, that's fine. But Taifu and Dazai are ordinary people, and they have no power to bind chickens with their hands. And he is very old. It simply can't stand the toss. The only one who has the ability to take them away is the Taibao. But such a thing as shuttling through the void is a great load on Taifu and Dazai's bodies. For the sake of their bodies, it is impossible for the Taibao to do this. The only way to leave the capital is the land route of ordinary people. ”

Zhao Boyan said bluntly:

"But all around the capital are my ears and eyes. Not to mention three big living people, it's mosquitoes coming in. The subordinates also discovered it early. If Sangong had left by land, he would not have escaped my ears and eyes at all. And in a short period of time, they will not go far at all. We don't bother and can't find out. ”

Fang Yun was silent, what Zhao Boyan said, in fact, he had thought of it early in the morning. I just don't want to think about it that way.

“...... Therefore, I am afraid that the three princes are not an ordinary way of retirement or something at all. And, with their status, they completely ignored such a farewell. Unless they feel something. The subordinates thought about it, there was only one person, and the only one who could make them do this was today-"

"Enough!"

Fang Yun immediately made a decision, and drank loudly, stopping Zhao Boyan's words:

"Zhao Boyan, do you know what you're talking about?" -- Are you trying to bring disaster to everyone?"

Zhao Boyan was shouted by Fang Yun and came back to his senses. Suddenly I thought of something, and after a while, my face turned white on the spot, and cold sweat fell down. It's like I've died once.

He was used to being in front of Fang Yun and had no worries. But I completely forgot that this is the capital city, which is at the foot of the Son of Heaven. If he had just spat out the last word, he would have been known immediately.

If the facts are different from what he knows, it will be the opposite. If it was really like what he thought, then not only him, but even the Sifang Hou Mansion, Fang Yun, and everyone would suffer from annihilation!

At the beginning, the civil and military ruled together, and controlled each other. It's okay to say that the imperial power is on the sidelines. But now, the power of Confucianism is crumbling. The Great Zhou Dynasty was now a military and political system. The harm caused by this system, Zhao Boyan understands it more deeply than Fang Yun!

The sky is unpredictable, and the king's heart is unpredictable!

"Adult ......"

Zhao Boyan suddenly softened to the ground, as if he had collapsed.

"Remember, don't talk about state affairs. ”

Fang Yun glanced at Zhao Boyan and stood up: "In the future, remember that the affairs of the imperial court will be handled by the imperial court." Don't speculate. ”

"The subordinates understand. ”

Zhao Boyan muttered.

Fang Yun glanced at Zhao Boyan, Zhao Boyan had followed him for so many years. After all, I felt a little unbearable in my heart:

"Bo Yan, there are some things, even if it's me. It can't be said either. You have followed me for many years, and I can't bear to let you get killed because of your quick mouth!"

"The subordinates understand. Zhao Boyan said respectfully.
