Chapter Ninety-Four: The Situation

"Damn! In order to make a few of you happy, I spent half a year's salary on Lao Tzu, and next time you are sent out to clear out the rebels, you all give Lao Tzu a long memory, even if you can't beat you and run away, you must also take Lao Tzu with you first!" A middle-aged officer with a full beard walked staggeringly while angrily scolding several drunken soldiers beside him.

"Captain Wu, don't worry! If you lose the battle in the future, our brothers will definitely not leave you and run away. A shrewd-looking soldier replied with a grin.

"Yes......! Wu Chang just doesn't say it, I will do the same, not to mention, Wu Chang also made a lot of money, as the saying goes, 'take other people's hands are short, eat other people's mouths are short', my Wang San'er keeps in mind that Wu Chang is good, and he will die in front of Wu Chang in the future, so that Wu Chang can bring my ashes back to his hometown. Another old soldier clenched his fist and swung it a few times.

"Wang San'er, everyone is happy, and they are saying some depressing words, what are you not going to die for! Are you dead now? Besides, you are a lot old, and among us you died early, so don't worry about bringing ashes. The shrewd soldier smacked the other.

"Don't you all see that King Ning sent us to clear out the rebels, that is, to make a show, you didn't see those generals, once they went to the battlefield, all of them were thundering loudly and raining little, and they were completely pretending, and none of them were really desperate. A loyal-faced young soldier lowered his voice and said, "I heard a fellow villager say that King Ning sympathizes with King Beijing, and even if we are sent out seven or eight times, there will be no danger."

"Rabbit cub! Don't die! Do you think we won't know? You won't be stuffed in your stomach! What did I just say? Do you want Lao Tzu to accompany you to death?" When the middle-aged officer heard this, his blushing cheeks immediately lost a little blood, and his eyes widened in anger, staring at the young soldier for repeated questions, and then he waved his fist in great dissatisfaction.

"Captain, I didn't say it!" The young soldier seemed to sober up a little and immediately closed his mouth, he quickly hid in a corner for fear of being beaten by a middle-aged officer.

However, as soon as the young soldier hid in the shadows, he involuntarily snorted, and a soul-piercing coldness invaded his body, and he realized that the surrounding environment was a little eerie and terrifying, and he glanced around and escaped.

"Haha...... I'm afraid, coward! I will find a wife in the future, not to mention that I am a soldier of Zhongqi. When the middle-aged officer saw the young soldier running back again, and seeing the frightened expression on his face, he immediately understood, and joined several other soldiers in a burst of laughter.

"I'm not afraid......! It's a little cold there. The young soldier blushed and hurriedly defended himself, but he couldn't think of a good reason, so he said one at random.

"Ha, do you miss a woman? Why don't you go and call Cuiyilou's Xianglian and ask her to warm you up first?" The veteran named Wang San'er put his arms around the young soldier and leaned into his ear and whispered. However, this "small" is relatively very large.

When the middle-aged officer and others heard this, they all smiled evilly.

At this moment, in the shadow of this main street, Deng An is sneaking around. He looked at the soldiers who walked away, and his heart was rushing, since he entered the territory of Ju State, he has learned that two years ago, there was a dispute in the royal family of Ju State, and the King of Beijing, who had been guarding the western frontier for many years, was suddenly recalled to the capital and killed on the charge of rebellion. Afterwards, the eldest son of the king of Beijing, who fled, united with his father's old army to rebel, because Wang Changshun and others had already prepared, the eldest son of the king of Beijing was killed, and the rebellion was quickly quelled.

However, this incident became a fuse, which completely ignited the people's grievances for many years, and some royal relatives and local forces who were dissatisfied with the emperor organized a rebel army one after another, called the eradication of Wang Changshun, but in fact planned to replace him and establish himself as the emperor.

Because there are too many rebels in various places, often pressing the gourd to float the scoop, the emperor's army is exhausted all over the country, and at this time, Linguo took the opportunity to invade the border, in desperation, the emperor reached a compromise with these rebels, allowing them to occupy territory on the edge of the Ju country, but the most prosperous central region of the Ju country is absolutely not allowed to get involved.

Of course, there are also forces that can't resist the temptation, thinking that they have the strength to resist the emperor's side, and start the idea of those areas, but it didn't take long for the main figures of these forces to disappear without a trace overnight, because there was no trace to follow, rumors were spreading, and the most widely circulated theory was that the emperor had raised a mysterious army, and all of this army were among the best in the rivers and lakes, and it was they who assassinated those people.

All of a sudden, everyone in the various forces was in danger, and some opportunists, seeing the strength shown by the emperor's side, immediately became a wall grass and announced their renewed allegiance.

Deng Anxin knew very well that if he wanted to kill the high-level figures of a party overnight, he couldn't leave any clues, it was impossible for ordinary Gaohu masters to do it, and only those monks with spells could do this.

Behind Ju Guo is the ghost of the town gate, and the one who shot should be the monk of the ghost of the town gate.

Although there are regulations in the cultivation realm that monks are not allowed to meddle in mortal affairs, but that is based on equal strength, if there is no definite evidence, and there is no monk to support them, other forces can only suffer a dumb loss, not to mention, there are only one or two forces that know the existence of "immortals", and these forces have not poked out this matter out of their own considerations.

For these secular power struggles, Deng An did not have much interest in his lifetime, not to mention that he is now dead, so it has nothing to do with him, from these news, he only cares about two people, one is his eldest brother Deng Hong, and the other is Wang Changshun.

Later, after Deng Zhongshu was assassinated, he predicted that Wang Changshun would cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and designed to escape during a mission, and never knew what to do. However, in the organization of the army by the eldest son of King Beijing, the name of Deng Hong appeared, and he was also one of the main leaders of the army.

However, when this army was defeated, Deng Hong's whereabouts were again unknown.

Wang Changshun's power was very solid, the court and the Chinese were eliminated, and the important positions were either the children of the Wang family or his friends and protégés, and the emperor almost never asked about political affairs, but when there was a rebellion in the country, he approved a sentence on the chapter, which read: "I am about to live forever, and I must not be wasted because of this, and the domestic affairs are large and small, but they are handled by the prime minister of the king." ”

At this time, the people of Ju can be said to only know the royal family, but not the royal family. Once Wang Changshun has ambitions, he can completely abolish the emperor and stand on his own. However, Wang Changshun is not the emperor, and has little impact on Deng An, he is more concerned about the national teacher behind Wang Changshun, Wang Yiping is the biggest obstacle for him to kill Wang Changshun, but unfortunately, among the rumors, there is no information about Wang Yiping, it must be a matter of royal secrets, and no one dares to leak it easily.

Deng An also knows a little about the current situation in Yongning City. It is one of the many border cities, one of the few cities controlled by the emperor, the general who guards this city is the younger brother of the current emperor, King Ning, compared with other border cities, the status of Yongning City is not prominent, why King Ning chose to come to this remote city, its purpose is debatable.

Deng An's father was an important minister of the Ju State, and he had experienced some power struggles, and a relative of the emperor chose this place, in addition to avoiding trouble, it is likely that as the soldier said, he was dissatisfied with his brother and Wang Changshun, and planned to support the army and respect himself.

Although Yongning City is located in the middle of nowhere, but three sides of the mountain, retreat can be defended, advance can be attacked, once Changju City has something, he can not only avoid getting involved, but also lead troops out, and Wang Changshun to compete for the world, with his royal status, can get the support of more old ministers.

In order to find out some more detailed information before going to the capital, Deng An spotted a brightly lit inn and flew away to it under the cover of night.

It is a five-story building, which is nothing in Changju City, but it is the tallest in Yongning City. At this time, all floors of the inn are lit with candles, especially on the fifth floor. There seems to be only one guest room on this floor, and the people living in it must be big people with heads and faces.

Deng An flew closer, and suddenly felt a breath that borered him. Monk, and also two monks in the late stage of Qi refining. As soon as his mind moved, he immediately became much more cautious, further restraining the gloomy aura he emanated.

Due to the southeast direction of Yongning City, it is a place with a strong spiritual aura in the middle of the Burial Immortal Mountain, where there are not only many demon beasts, but also complex kinds of spiritual herbs. They are both indispensable resources for monks, and as a result, some monks are attracted here.

In the vicinity of Yongning City, there are two or three Xiuzhen families, they have built their own residences in the deep mountains, and they rarely deal with mortals, even when they appear in front of the world, they often think they are the faces of the Jianghu family, and no one dares to provoke them.

Before coming to Yongning City, Deng An had already found out that the largest Xiuzhen family here was the Wanjia family in Feiyun Valley. He didn't know much about the Wan family, only that five years ago, the Wan family, like other Xiuzhen families here, cultivated to the highest level of cultivation in the late stage of Qi cultivation, but five years ago, Wan Zhongjian, the ancestor of the Wan family, suddenly succeeded in building a foundation, which made the family's power expand rapidly, and there was a faint tendency to dominate the surrounding areas of Yongning City.

These monks must know more than mortals. Perhaps, they have some news about Wang Yiping. He even had the idea that, if he had the chance, he could use the Soul Searching Secret Technique he had learned from that jade talisman to find out the information he needed. It's just that this technique is too cruel, and he doesn't want to use it on other monks for no reason.

Outside the guest room on the fifth floor of the inn, a simple soundproof barrier was arranged, but for Deng An in the condensation period, it was like a fictitious, he quietly flew under the eaves and looked intently.

The voices of two men came from the room, one was an old man and the other was a middle-aged man, both of them with anger in their voices, arguing over something.
