Chapter 317: The Land of Right and Wrong
In Jingyang City, people are still unaware of the fact that Dayu Jiangshan has changed hands.
They had just gone through a frightening rebellion and were exhausted. Therefore, after dinner, almost every household turned off the lights early and went to bed to prepare for a good night's sleep.
However, Gong Yan, who has been hiding in Zheng Yong's private house in the east of the city for several days, is unpleasant to eat and difficult to sit and sleep.
He stayed in the house all day, knowing very little about what was going on in the outside world.
The day before, I had just heard from the person in charge of guarding this mansion that his father-in-law, Zheng Yong, was leading people to hunt down Han Bing in the city, and he should be able to succeed soon.
As a result, he sat until midnight, and no news came.
just closed his eyes and took a nap, but was suddenly woken up by the person sent by Shen Qingluo.
And the news brought by that person immediately drove Gong Yan's sleepiness away-
Jingyang City has been surrounded by King Ji's people, and Zheng Yong has also fled.
This news should be called great news for Gong Yan, who is a spy of the northerners. However, for the Miyahiko who has personal ambitions, it is tantamount to a bolt from the blue!
King Ji's rebellion is really a rare opportunity for Darong, who has always coveted the country of Yuguo.
After this rebellion, no matter who wins or loses between the emperor and the king of Ji, Yuguo's troops will be consumed by at least half of the troops, which is not enough to compete with Darong's iron cavalry.
The country will change hands, just around the corner.
But what does this have to do with him?
Zheng Yong escaped, and his plan to provoke civil strife through this traitorous eunuch has failed.
And all the hard work he spent on Zheng Yong was also in vain!
When the time comes, what will he do to ask His Majesty the Emperor of Darong for merit and reward, in order to obtain the position of the leader of the Chiyang Sect?
Thinking of this result, Gong Yan's mood was not only depressed, but also overwhelmed by a complete despair.
Because losing the position of the Chiyang Sect Master, for him, a person who has practiced the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, is equivalent to losing everything.
If Duxiao Qiong finally passes on the position of sect leader to Gongyu Sarong, then Gong Yan will have to hand over all his internal strength to his own brother, and even his life will be guaranteed.
Since he had already expected what a bleak ending would await him, Miyahiko didn't want to bother thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
It was already night, and the noise that had been going on outside for a whole day had gradually disappeared.
Gong Yan suddenly found that at some point, the subordinates of Zheng Yong who were originally guarding this mansion had disappeared. I think the guards who were guarding in the shadows were also clean.
After being stunned for a moment, he laughed inexplicably and went to turn over a few jars of good wine that Zheng Yong had secretly hidden here.
Then he sat down at the table alone and poured himself a drink.
Just when Gong Yan was already drunk and felt a little fluttery, a figure quietly appeared in front of him.
He glanced up at the visitor, then picked up his glass and prepared to drink it all.
But his hand holding the wine glass was suddenly seized by the man, and the wine glass fell into the other party's hand in an instant.
The man casually threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", and the thin porcelain wine glass was shattered.
At the same time, the man also opened his mouth coldly: "His Majesty the Emperor will never let a useless drunk go to be the leader of the Chiyang Sect!"
Gong Yan smiled a little drunkenly, and said, "His Majesty the Emperor will not let a person who is useless to him seize the Great Yu River and Mountain become the leader of the Chiyang Sect!"
"If you continue to drink like this, and finally get caught by Song Qingfeng's people, then you are really useless to His Majesty the Emperor. β
Although Gong Yan drank a few more glasses, he did not completely lose his vigilance. When the man said the word "useless", he clearly felt a hidden murderous aura in it.
Frightened, he immediately stood up vigilantly, stared at the man, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you talking about?"
The man looked at him with disdain and said, "You have been hiding here like a mouse all day long, and there has been a lot of trouble outside, and you don't even know it!"
Just this morning, that King Ji had completely failed. Fuyuan general Xing Chengbiao and Dongping Marquis Yan Jiwu, who participated in the rebellion, were also killed one after another. And the 100,000 Western Route Army and the 100,000 Eastern Navy under their command have surrendered to Song Qingfeng, the commander of the forbidden army.
After that, Song Qingfeng led the forbidden army to purge the Yan soldiers in the capital, and his father Song Xingye also captured Empress Yan and others to quell the rebellion in the palace.
At this moment, Song Qingfeng's men had blocked all the gates of Jingyang City, and searched for the remnants of the Yan clan and the secret spies of the northerners in the city.
This place is no longer a safe place, without Zheng Yong's protection, how many days can you, a northerner secret spy, continue to hide?!"
Hearing the man's words, Gong Yan's eyes gradually brightened, and even the few remaining drunkenness had disappeared.
King Ji was defeated! This battle ended abruptly before it began.
In this way, the vitality of Yuguo has not been injured, so His Majesty the Emperor Darong's plan to invade the south cannot be implemented for the time being.
This means that his chance for Gong Yan has come again!
After this rebellion is put down, the emperor of Yuguo will still be the emperor. Then, Zheng Yong, the head of the Ouchi, should also appear soon and continue to help him complete his plan to subvert Yuguo.
Thinking of this, Gong Yan couldn't help but smile and said to the man: "Since King Ji has been defeated, the emperor of Dayu should return to Beijing soon." When the time comes, Zheng Yong will definitely come back with him, so why should I worry about Song Qingfeng's people anymore?"
Who knew that the man shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not as you wish this time!" Previously, Zheng Yong had sent people to attack many princes' mansions, which showed that he had no scruples.
This traitor's sense of smell is the most sensitive. The reason why he dared to commit such a brazen murder in the capital should be that he no longer took His Majesty the Emperor of Great Wealth in his eyes.
And this person's cunning will never be carried away by hatred to do such an unwise act. The reason why he suddenly gave up the emperor should have been guessed a long time ago, that the emperor is no longer the emperor!"
"What do you mean by this? Who else but King Ji will take the opportunity to take that throne?"
"Have you forgotten that Xiao Tianjue, who was rescued from Jishi Temple, is the real Prince Ding of Yuguo?"
When Gong Yan heard this, he immediately stayed there.
The man continued: "We once suspected that the father and son of the Zuo Prime Minister wanted to control the government by manipulating the crown prince. However, judging from what happened later, there should be someone else behind them.
Song Qingfeng is friendly with Han Bing, and his father Song Xingye is Xiao Tianjue's old department.
This apparent connection, however, has been obscured by the various illusions of discord that they have deliberately created, and has not attracted enough attention from us.
Now it seems that Zuo Xiang's father and son and the real Prince Ding, Xiao Tianjue, are simply accomplices.
Even if that Han Bing is not a hermit, Xiao Tianjue's apprentice Xiao Yu is a hermit. Therefore, Xiao Tianjue must have the support of the hermit people behind him. β
"Hermitsβ"
Gong Yan was completely awake at this time, and his mind had regained its usual sharpness and flexibility.
He frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "What you said is right, Zuo Xiang's father and son are indeed connected with the Yin people. And according to my speculation, Han Bing should be the accomplice of the parting arrow Ling Qiyu.
More than a month ago, on the barren ridge outside Xiangzhou City, I witnessed Ling Qiyu, a parting arrow, being seriously injured by his teacher, and then being rescued.
At that time, due to the suddenness of the incident, I could not see the action of the person who rescued Ling Qiyu. But just by virtue of the fact that he was still able to take Ling Qiyu calmly after receiving a ten-successful Chiyang palm from his family teacher, it was enough to see his high skills, and I am afraid that he was no longer under the family teacher.
At present, in Yuguo, it is rare to see a peerless master like this. And the only thing I've ever seen is the cold ice who killed Zhao Zhan, the former commander of the forbidden army.
and the assassination of Zuo Yusong that happened later, on the surface, it was done by the parting arrow alone. But when you think about the designs, it's clear that it is someone who works with them to achieve that perfect effect.
And the person who secretly cooperated with the parting arrow must have been the cold ice that had just been framed by Zuo Yusong during the martial arts. β
Speaking of this, Gong Yan looked at the man and said, "In this way, His Majesty the Emperor of Dayu will indeed not come back, and the head of Dauchi, Zheng Yong, will not come back!"
"Yes, so you must leave this land of right and wrong at once, in order to find another opportunity for His Majesty the Emperor to find a way to overthrow Yuguo as soon as possible. β
"What about you?"
Gong Yan stared at the man, and his tone unconsciously revealed a trace of concern, as if he had completely forgotten that just now, that person had killed him.
The man listened, but only smiled. Under the dim candlelight, the smile looked at in the haze, revealing a different kind of charm.
Gong Yan couldn't help but look a little distracted.
Immediately, he pursed the corners of his lips, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Yes, your Qingluo girl is the top brand of Yuanfang Pavilion, and she is also the Shunfeng Hall Master of the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance, where can you use my little role as a lost dog to worry about you?"
Shen Qingluo smiled to herself again and said, "In less than half an hour, the forbidden army guarding the city gate will start to change guards. I'll make some noise in the shadows to draw the attention of the Praetorian Army, and you can sneak out of the city. β
"Thank you so much Miss Qingluo!"
Gong Yan bowed and bowed, and without saying more, he walked towards the courtyard first.
But before his person walked out of the hall door, he was suddenly grabbed by Shen Qingluo behind him.
He looked back in surprise and saw that Shen Qingluo's face, which always had a charming smile, had completely lost its color!
