Five days later, He Zhan and Zhou Yuechan left with Princess Yu, and after Jia Guoan sent them away, he felt a lot more empty in his heart, and called Zhan Yi,

"Show me the recent developments of our other sects. Jia Guoan took the recent battle situation, which described in detail the existing various sects and the strength behind them, the eight major sects except Jia Guoan's Wu'an faction are pure Jianghu sects, the remaining first-class sects are twenty-three, the second-rate sects are only eleven, and the third-rate sects are only fourteen affiliated with the seven major sects, of which the first-class sect Jia Guoan accounts for five, the second prince accounts for three, the third prince still has two left, the rest of the ministers control four and nine are independent sects in the rivers and lakes, the second-rate six are Jia Guoan's remaining five are struggling to support under the attack of those six, all the sects are fighting everywhere for the reason that the Wu'an faction is merged and promoted to the eight major sects。

Looking at this battle report, Jia Guoan was still very happy in his heart, at least one-third of the rivers and lakes were already under control, defeating the second prince and the third prince, and then destroying the fourteen third-rate sects under the pretext, only the seven major sects were left and they couldn't turn over the storm, and when the prince level was directly suppressed by force, thinking about it, Jia Guoan was in a much better mood.

This is Zhan Yi coming in from outside the door

"Lord Qiyu, there is a sergeant in Wanghai City to report. ”

"Call him in. Jia Guoan sat up straight. Soon a man wearing the uniform of a sergeant in Wanghaicheng came in outside, and when he saw Jia Guoan, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord Qiqi, the captain of the third squad of the seventh brigade of the fifth legion of the Wanghaicheng coastal defense army has come to report with a letter from Lord Jia Yi, the marshal of Wanghaicheng. ”

"Present it. As he spoke, he took the letter handed over by the sergeant, and Jia Guoan saw it

"Your Excellency the Governor, seeing the letter, today there are many unidentified teams sneaking up on the coastal villages and towns of Wanghai City. caused serious losses, causing panic among the coastal residents of Wanghai City, and forgetting the Governor to lead the heroes of the rivers and lakes to help me. Jia Guoan looked very excited after reading the letter,

"Zhan took this little brother down to settle down, and then notified everyone to have a meeting. A smile leaked from the corner of the soldier's mouth when he heard the report, but he quickly put it away, knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, the coastal situation is critical, please help me as soon as possible." Jia Guoan suddenly became angry and said: "This is military intelligence, which is a secret, how can you know? You peek at military intelligence, fight one, and drag him down to death!"

"Don't, my lord, the small one is guessing, it's guessing!" Jia Guoan waved his hand and ignored him. After everyone arrived, Jia Guoan sat on the main seat of the hall and passed the letter to everyone and said, "What do you think of this letter?" Liang Yinfeng took the lead in getting up: "My lord, this letter is obviously fake, Lord Jia Yi is an uncle, how can he talk to you in this tone, besides, Lord Jia Yi knows that we are secretly developing a sect in the rivers and lakes, how can he let us have a relationship with the imperial court, isn't this our plan to judge ourselves." ”

"Yes, my lord, anyone who knows the inside story can tell at a glance that it is fake. Others chimed in.

"Yes, this shows that the person making it up doesn't know my relationship with my father, but who could this person be?" Jia continued.

"I think it should be the second prince. Yang Chenxi, who had never had a sense of existence, suddenly said,

"Oh, why do you think that?" asked Jia Guoan in surprise.

"My father was actually an official under the second prince, and later he had political discord and was framed by the second prince and lost his official position. However, my father has a lot of contact with the second prince, and he is very familiar with the second prince's way of doing things, and when I came out to explore the rivers and lakes, my father told me not to offend the person who gave me a detailed explanation, so I think that I can do this, and only the second prince has the ability to do this. Yang Chenxi said with certainty.

"Okay, Chenxi's intelligence is very important, Zhan Yi, you go to Wanghai City to see my father and find out if this matter is true. Jia Guoan continued,

"Everyone is dispersed, and when the news of Zhan Yi comes back, I will see if there is a meeting. After receiving the order, Zhan Yi hurried to Wanghai City, and after seeing Jia Yi presenting the letter, he said: "General, the young master asked you if what you said in this letter is true?" Jia Yi read the letter

"It is true, but this letter was not written by me, and it is true that the coast has been harassed by unknown forces recently. You go back and tell Guoan that you don't need his help, although there is some turmoil on my side, it is fine. "Zhan Yi was ordered to return to the Wu'an faction.

"What did my father say?" asked Jia Guoan,

"Lord Qiyu, General Jia said that this matter is true, but he can control it. Hearing this, Jia Guoan pondered for a while and said, "Zhan Yi, you go and inform Zhan Qijiu, didn't he secretly control the sect of a second prince? If you want to yin me, then I will plan it and find a reason to accept his sect. After receiving the information, Zhan Qijiu led the sect of the nominal second prince and went directly to Wanghai City to help garrison, and did not shy away from explaining that they were the people of the second prince.

Although this allowed the second prince to accumulate a little prestige along the coast, this is negligible compared to the crime of a sect and a crime of participating in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

When the second prince heard the news, he directly smashed the palace, but just when he was discussing with his staff what to do, the holy decree had already arrived.

"The holy decree has arrived, and the second prince has received the decree. The shrill voice of the eunuch outside the door shouted, and the second prince hurriedly got up and came to the front hall and knelt down: "The son of the minister accepts the order." ”

"I recently heard that you and others are involved in the disputes between the rivers and lakes, and it has now been confirmed that you have been named the king of Wanghai City and Dinghai, and you enjoy the standard worship of the prince, and there is no fief. Hearing this, the second prince collapsed directly to the ground, which not only deprived him of the qualification to fight for the throne, but also did not even have a fief, completely cutting off his future development in this vein.

"Lord Dinghai, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and get the order?" the eunuch said disdainfully, he was no longer qualified to compete for the throne, and even the eunuchs around the emperor began to ignore him.

The staff next to him helped the second prince up, and the second prince trembled and took the holy decree. The eunuch looked at the second prince: "Lord Dinghai, the emperor ordered you to leave for Wanghai City within three days, it's better to prepare quickly and don't delay, otherwise the emperor will blame it, and the miscellaneous family can't afford it." ”

"Okay father-in-law, thank you for informing. The second prince said with a confused look in his eyes. With a soft snort, the eunuch turned around and left.

"How can this be? Why didn't they follow the order and go to help garrison the coast without permission? Why didn't they cover up that they were my subordinates? Who is harming me?" said the second prince and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Prince, Prince!" Many staff members were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to carry the second prince back to the inner courtyard.
