The second sacrifice came and went in a hurry, but what he left behind made people not so calm.

"What are the countermeasures of your Aiqing?" the emperor asked as he clasped the table.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that war is an acceptable countermeasure. "There was a middle-aged military general with a burly figure and a scar on his face in the crowd of military attachés, he was a member of the main battle faction among the military generals, and his official position was not low, and this time was no exception, he still supported the war.

"Tell me about your considerations. The emperor glanced at him, and there seemed to be no change in his eyebrows, but there seemed to be more coldness.

"Raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while, the East China Sea is no longer the weak, chaotic East China Sea, this is one of them.

The maintenance of friendship between countries is not only as simple as interests and mutual non-aggression, but also requires sufficient force; otherwise, the weak side will be sheep, so why should the wolf ask for peace?

Third, the country, to have national prestige, although there is Lord Qian Quanlin, we are in the national war battlefield all the way like a bamboo, Zhong Zhen is difficult to resist, but is this enough? The answer is no, defeating Zhong Zhen is a normal thing, they are facing enemies on three sides, except for Miao Jiang who does not fight with them, the other three countries have a national war battlefield with them, such a consumption of manpower and material resources, they cannot win. If we defeat them, we will not be able to erect national prestige, and another goal is obviously placed in front of us -- Miaojiang, their strength does not seem to be strong, and it is a plate of scattered sand, but in history, how many can conquer Miaojiang by war? The answer is none! Because of the existence of the god-worshipper, the high priest, and those who have returned to the mandate of heaven, Miao Jiang is willing to annex a part of their territory, but what about the rest? None of the countries that dare to fight with Miaojiang have a good end, even if they can occasionally take advantage of some advantages, the price paid is actually big enough, and it is no different from losing.

How important is the national prestige, I believe that I don't need to say more, the reason why the previous sacrifice dared to have such an attitude towards us was because our national prestige was not strong enough, so he acted recklessly and did not take us seriously.

And now there is an opportunity, an opportunity to surpass all the predecessors and create history: to defeat Miao Jiang and capture the worshippers alive, this is a feat that has never been seen before or since, and it cannot be missed, Your Majesty. The man slowly enumerated three reasons, one more convincing than the other, and had the ability to deceive people.

"Hmph, the abacus is good, but unfortunately it is a little unrealistic, the minister can be the main battle, but in the case of not finding a peaceful solution to this matter, there is a sentence that the minister must say in front, the high priest of Miaojiang never fights a senseless battle. This meaninglessness means that there is no meaning, that is: it cannot be defeated or the victory or defeat is meaningless, if it is really as the sacrifice said, the high priest is ready to go to war, then no matter whether it is won or lost, it is a bloody battle, and the minister will accompany him, but the minister hopes not to fight this battle, because this is a meaningless sacrifice, and it will only make others see the joke. This passage was said by Qian Quanlin standing up, he was burdened with the name of the first general, if it was a war, he would naturally take the lead, but he didn't want to fight, not because he Qian Quanlin instigated them Miao Jiang, but, these things are indeed not advocated by the East China Sea, if doing these things is even a little meaningful to the East China Sea, let him Qian Quanlin lead the troops to wipe the East China Sea's buttocks, he Qian Quanlin did not complain at all, fight, it will be over, whether it is a sacrifice, a sacrifice, or a god worshipper, he dares to fight, but in addition to letting the East China Sea be blackened, he can't see the slightest meaning in this matter, so he said that he can fight the main battle, but he actually refused。

"Jun Aiqing, what do you think?" the emperor smiled, Qian Quanlin's thoughts were already clear to him, and he didn't care, the key was that no one had any other ideas to solve these things.

With this inquiry, everyone's eyes were focused on Jun Yishen, and they wanted to see if the legendary prime minister would have any strange tricks this time.

"To put it bluntly, it's just that someone wants to do something, throw the pot on our heads, let Donghai carry it, let Donghai and Miaojiang fight until both sides lose, and he is a good fisherman. But who is this fisherman? I only thought of a Zhongzhen, but the answer given by the high priest of Miao Jiang was a key figure in the East China Sea, so the answer was nothing more than two situations: first, that person was connected with Zhongzhen, and second, that person could really benefit from this matter.

Now that we probably know the reason, we can start from four aspects, one is the intelligence information mining on the side of the Miao Jiang envoys, this point is handed over to Lord Feng, I think it is no problem? The second is the intelligence collection on the side of Zhongzhen, if Miao Jiang also sends an envoy over there, the answer will be obvious. The third is the internal troop mobilization in the East China Sea, the investigation of important people and other matters, and the fourth is the investigation of the homicide case in Miaojiang. Jun Yishen analyzed the situation and gave an answer.

"Oh, it's Jun Aiqing, do you have anyone to recommend for the investigation of the Miao Jiang murder case?" the emperor smiled with satisfaction.

"This ...... Chancellor didn't. Jun Yishen shook his head, he wanted to recommend Shangguan Yi, because people like Shangguan Yi can do anything, but unfortunately Shangguan Yi is not his person, and it is Mo Lan who needs Shangguan Yi more than him.

"Qian Aiqing and Wei Lao, do you two have any suggestions?" The emperor turned to ask about the other two courtiers who had the style of a general in their own right, and he saw that Jun Yishen seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he didn't know who he wanted to recommend, and how weird his identity was, so he didn't dare to say it.

"Mo Lan, he's the best at this. Qian Quanlin did not hesitate, although he was a military attaché, but he still admired Mo Lan very much, so when Mo Lan was impeached that day, he was silent, so most of the military attachés were silent, it was to give him Qian Quanlin face, and now he recommended Mo Lan to get him a hand, if this errand went well, then it was not a dream for him to return to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"In terms of investigating cases, handling cases, and discovering suspicious places, I also think he is suitable, there are not many people in the entire East China Sea who are better than him, but on the whole, I'm afraid it's not good, especially recently when he is ill, and if he goes back and forth, I'm afraid his life will be gone, something is wrong. Wei Lao shook his head and vetoed Qian Quanlin's suggestion, he didn't know what happened to Mo Lan, but he believed that Mo Lan was not a person who ate inside and out, so he also felt sorry for Mo Lan's body, and he couldn't bear to drag his injured body that was beaten thirty boards to Miao Jiang to investigate the case, and come back after the investigation, this time and again, no one can stand it.

Qian Quanlin heard Wei Lao say this, and there was a hint of understanding in his expression, it was he who owed a little consideration, he thought that Mo Lan and Jun Yishen were strong, so he put Mo Lan and Jun Yishen in the same position as himself, but he forgot that even Mo Lan was only physically stronger than the quality of ordinary people, and Jun Yishen was just a weak scholar, although they were not so weak on the surface, and even when their aura was full, they would be shocked by three points, but they were indeed not as strong as themselves, and they were too simple to think.

"Okay, I'll decide the candidate, I'll arrange it, is there anyone else who has anything else? The emperor looked around for a week, and when he saw that no one answered, he said: "Retreat from the court." Then he got up and left, his face dark, as if bothered by the incident.

On the other side, after Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong, who left by detour, converged, the three of them probably exchanged information after separation, and then unanimously decided to pick a small road to return to Kyoto secretly. After all, if you meet the people of the Wei gang outside, don't want to live on your side, if Shangguan Yi's power explodes again, he won't be able to reach the Four Heavens, and he won't even be able to deal with the Wei, let alone add other younger brothers. Take a step back, even if you don't meet you, you meet someone else, such as the East China Sea worship, or the strongman passing by, it's quite troublesome to deal with.

Fortunately, the way back to the city is still there, although you have to pay double the money, but as long as you collect money to do things, it is not a big problem.

"Let's go, target, ghetto. Shangguan Yi said lightly, he had no intention of changing his clothes, so let's just pass.

"Well, it's still raining, and it's still dark, so I guess it's easy to find your way there. Hua Xiangrong looked at the considerable rain that was still falling, and speculated.

"Just send a letter? I always think it's not that simple, you have to be careful. Shangguan Yi reminded that he didn't know if Huichen's old bald donkey had added some drama to him in the back, so it was better to be careful.

"Slums, go this way. The little monk pointed to an alley, which was a dark alley, which usually belonged to a very remote and dark one, let alone at this time.

"Good. "Shangguan Yi walked in, he is the strongest in the team, and he is also the strongest in improvisation, leading the way, exploring the way, there is naturally no reason for the little monk and the others to do it.

The three of them drilled around in the dark alley, looking like headless flies, but in fact they followed a very winding trajectory, which would not be unfamiliar to those who knew the industry, because he was part of the Qimen gossip and formation, although it was very shallow.

"Whew, it's almost there. Shangguan Yi sighed, he had been busy for so long, and when it was over, even he had a kind of luck mentality.

"Oh, go knock on the door, that's it. Hua Xiangrong pointed to a dilapidated mansion not far in front of him and said.

The house is located in a dirty and messy slum, perfectly integrated into it, there is no sense of contradiction, well, in fact, there is still a little contradiction, its upturned eaves hung a blue sea glass lamp, even at this moment has not been extinguished.

Shangguan Yi took a deep breath, with his keen perception, of course he would not think that this was an ordinary mansion, and he was not stupid.

"Knock Knock"

Three knocks sounded at the door, not too big or too small, with the right strength.

"Please come in, old man, I have bad legs and feet, and I have to walk hard, so if you have anything to do with me, please come in and tell me directly." An old voice came out from inside, and the three of Shangguan Yi who listened to it shook their eyebrows and feet involuntarily, is this the legendary pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? The voice is indeed old and weak, but what are the three of them? Hua Xiangrong is well-informed, Shangguan Yi and the little monk have both cultivated the internal strength of the top column, and they can detect a hint from the qi that speaks: This guy's cultivation of internal strength is definitely not simple. Moreover...... On a rainy day, and thunder, you are an old man who has a hard time walking, and you can make them hear so clearly the small sound, don't you think it's fake?

Shangguan Yi complained in his heart, but he didn't say anything, pushed the door in, walked to the front of the main house, took off the poncho and put it under the eaves, pushed the door in, and no one saw the old man when he entered the bedroom: his hair was white, his eyes seemed to be cloudy, but he was a little clear, his face was full of wrinkles, and his expression was peaceful.

"Here's a letter from an old man, do you think it's for you?" Shangguan Yi took out the letter and handed it over respectfully.

The old man took it but didn't open it, just looked at Shangguan Yi, and after a long time, said, "I should say, you came, I didn't expect you to really come, or did you finally come?"

Inexplicable words sounded in the room, and at this moment, it seemed that the inside and outside of the house had become two different worlds, and no matter how noisy the house was, it seemed that it could not affect the tranquility inside the house.

"Obediently, this hand won't be the giant of the Four Heavens, right? Huichen old bald donkey, you...... I should have been reminded sooner. Shangguan Yi was about to scold his mother in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, he just said: "I'm here." ”

"Hehe, young man, you are still too young, have you ever thought about what you should do after coming here and getting nothing?" the old man smiled lightly, asking a question that only he and Shangguan Yi understood, the moment he saw Shangguan Yi and the little monk come in, he knew that it was time for him to fulfill his promise, but this promise, should it really be honored? Grievances, grievances, grievances will never end!

"I thought about it, if I can't get anything, I'll borrow it, use the fox and fake the tiger, borrow the east wind to achieve my wishes, and I will never give up until the south wall. Shangguan Yi knew that this old man should know his identity, just like his seemingly clever disguises, arranged in front of Huichen's fragile paper is no different, this old man who doesn't know how long he has lived can also see through it at a glance.

"Why bother, isn't it good to let go of grievances and live a life in style?" the old man continued to persuade.

"Some things, not only grievances, I know what you and Master Huichen mean, but I am a very stubborn person, I will definitely do what I believe, otherwise, it will be meaningless for me to climb back from hell, this is also destiny, you don't have to persuade again." Shangguan Yi was very firm and did not waver in the slightest.

"Eh, okay, okay, just like I couldn't persuade your father back then, I can't persuade you either, so be it. There are still some empty rooms in the courtyard, and you will stay here, and tomorrow you will spend a day tidying up, repairing what should be repaired, and purchasing what should be purchased, and you will often live here. The old man sighed and gave an order to Shangguan Yi and the three of them, but this order made the three of them a little dumbfounded.
