Volume 2 Shadow Shadow Chapter 236 The situation is treacherous
Seven days later, the flying boat that set off from Chujing to transport supplies finally arrived in the capital of Ningguo.
Shen Yun turned into a twenty-year-old scholar in green shirts, and waited for the flying boat with a group of people.
Subsequently, he did not stay in the "Ningguo Chamber of Commerce", but walked around the Ningdu at will, and bought some books on the history of Ningguo, miscellaneous notes, and maps of Ningguo in a "Babaozhai", and then entered a restaurant and closed the door.
By the time Shen Yun read all these books, it was already late at night.
Shen Yun rubbed his slightly swollen temples, looked at the dozens of books piled up in front of him, and groaned on his face.
I didn't expect that the history of Ningguo was so tortuous, and there was an army of monks, which was really surprising.
And now, with the Son of Heaven as the leader, the King of the West and the King of the Northern Liang as the auxiliary, forming a three-legged trend to jointly govern the Ning Kingdom.
Of course, these three people are all cultivators in the early stage of the Liquid Transformation Period, and they have the Black Tiger Guard, the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, and the Changning Emperor Army, and there are many Naling Stage monks and Qi Refiners in the army, and they are the three official forces of Ningguo.
In addition to these three forces, there are also the Candle Flame Sect, which is known for its fire attribute magic, the Hundred Refining Sect, which is mainly based on refining, and the Fahua Sect of Buddhism, these three major sects.
These three major sects have many disciples, but compared with the three major forces of the imperial court, they are naturally far inferior. Moreover, these three major sects are also forces secretly supported by the imperial court, so they are not a problem.
The three sect masters are all cultivators in the early stage of the liquid transformation period, but their real combat power is not as good as the three of today's son, the king of Zhengxi, and the king of Beiliang, and the three sects have always coexisted peacefully with the imperial court, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
Moreover, the three sects have always pursued the purpose of "encouraging their disciples to join the army and serve the country", so the imperial court also allowed it to develop freely.
Even so, the imperial court was also wary of the suzerains of these three sects, so the king of Zhengxi was assassinated, and the three princes excluded the three suzerains.
It's just that Shen Yun didn't know this, and now, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was secretly distressed in his heart.
Thinking about it, now, he has received the "deficit order" and has been ordered by the sect to come to Ningguo to secretly investigate the border tragedy.
Who knew that as soon as he came, the death of the king of Zhengxi happened in Ningguo, and according to rumors in the market, Ning Yuan, the king of Zhengxi, was killed.
In that case, things are a big deal.
Not to mention whether the king of Zhengxi was killed or not, the fact that he was already dead is enough to make the three-legged momentum of the Dening Kingdom immediately unbalanced, and a war is inevitable.
Moreover, the king of Zhengxi was still killed, and the matter was even more serious.
The Changning Imperial Army under the command of the King of Zhengxi saw the death of the prince, how could they give up, blinded by hatred, and the soldiers who had nowhere to vent their anger in their hearts would only point the finger at the most suspicious Emperor of Heaven and the King of Beiliang.
It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave.
I really don't know how the sect should feel when it knows about this, and how to deal with it.
Even though the strength of the five major sects is unfathomable and their status is transcendent, it is still a headache to deal with this matter.
After all, this cannot be solved by force alone, but also to give a satisfactory explanation to the Changning Imperial Army and the people of the entire Ning Kingdom, so as to block the mouth of Youyou.
Otherwise, the people's grievances are boiling, and no matter how they can get it, they can't be suppressed strongly.
Thinking of this, Shen Yun let out a long sigh, only to feel that his head was big for a while.
Seven days ago, an army of 50,000 monks and 450,000 soldiers who were good at fighting had already been stationed outside Ningdu, and they were about to march into Ningdu to avenge the king of Zhengxi.
For a time, the people of the entire Ningdu were panicked, and this tense and depressing atmosphere, the plague generally spread to the entire Ningguo, the situation was turbulent, and the whole country, hundreds of people, were terrified.
After all, what these ordinary people think about is nothing more than food and clothing for their families, peace and security, and how can they care about the struggle between the government and the opposition and the struggle for rights.
Six days ago, Chen Xiao, the general of the Changning Imperial Army, sneaked into Ningdu, and the three princes of Ningwangfu had a secret conversation.
Five days ago, the three sect masters gathered in Ningdu, and even the king of Beiliang led 300,000 Beiliang iron horsemen to Ningdu.
Four days ago, Princess Ning of King Ning's Mansion returned to the camp with the general Chen Xiao to try to stabilize the Changning Imperial Army, but failed.
Three days ago, when the Son of Heaven, the King of Beiliang, and the three sect masters, together with the three princes of Ning Wangfu, appeared in the military camp of Emperor Changning's army, it was still difficult to persuade the army to retreat.
When Ning Suitian, the son of heaven, was helpless, he promised that within half a month, he would definitely investigate the murder of the king of Zhengxi, arrest the real culprit, and behead him in public, so as to comfort the soul of the king of Zhengxi in the sky, and to calm the anger in the hearts of the soldiers of Emperor Ning.
Subsequently, Ning Suitian issued the "Son of Heaven Zhao", telling the monks of the world that whoever can find the murderer will be given a high-grade spiritual treasure and 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and the treasures in the treasury of Ning Guo are at their disposal.
As soon as this order came out, it shook Ningguo.
Countless monks gathered in the capital of Ningguo, wanting to find the real culprit and obtain this rich reward.
And with so many monks appearing in Ningdu, the Changning Emperor's army had to keep its promise and stay put.
After all, if they were to be enemies with the monks of the entire Ning Kingdom, this group of warlike tiger and wolf divisions would have little chance of winning.
This is also the reason why monks are gathered in Ningdu nowadays.
Now, three days have passed, and countless monks have signed up to participate in solving the case, but no clues have been found.
Shen Yun put down the book in his hand, only to feel irritable in his heart, secretly thinking about the next countermeasures.
"Is the death of the king of Zhengxi related to the border disaster?"
"If it's not related, it's a bit too coincidental. ”
"If that mysterious force did it, its purpose should be more than just to provoke civil strife in Ningning, then what is its real purpose?"
"Senior Uncle Guangyuanzi, as well as Wei Tianci, should have arrived in Ningdu, where are they now, and what actions will they take?"
“......”
In any case, my current situation is very bad.
As a disciple of the Yuanqi Sect, he came to investigate the border disaster, and if he was discovered by the forces behind him, he was afraid that his fate would never be better than that of the "Flawless Fairy".
Moreover, this Ningdu seems to be safe, but it is only temporary, the 500,000 Changning Imperial Army is not vegetarian, if the war breaks out, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to retreat.
It's just that now is not the time to think about this, the "deficit order" is in hand, even if it is a sea of swords, I have to break through.
At the moment, the only advantage is that he has mastered the clue of "Queen Xiao", and he is already one step faster than others.
It was useless to think about it, Shen Yun picked up more than a dozen maps of Ningguo, and found out the map of Ningdu, looked at it carefully, and made up his mind to go to King Ning's Mansion to sign up and participate in solving the case.
