Chapter 100: Wading into troubled waters

Chapter 100

After the word "don't think" was shouted, the Taihe Hall became quiet in an instant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two columns of officials bowed their heads tightly, not daring to get involved in the slightest.

"What about Liu Qi, the assassin of Jingzhou, why don't you come over and tell our emperor about the situation in Jingzhou, so that our emperor can understand the situation," Xu Pingguo shouted outside the Taihe Gate.

Not long after, Liu Qi, who was wearing a thorn official hat and holding a wat board in his hand, trembled and walked into the Taihe Palace, and he didn't know whether he was afraid or nervous, and he fell to the ground before he got closer, and the official hat on his head fell to the ground, so frightened that Liu Qi hurriedly held on, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live"

After Yan Kang walked out from behind the dragon case, took a few steps forward, pointed to Liu Qi, the assassin of Jingzhou who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Tell me, but this happened in Jingzhou?"

Liu Qi heard the voice, and slowly raised his head buried between his two strands, but after catching a glimpse of Yan Kang's angry eyes, he immediately lowered his head again, held the wat board with trembling hands and said, "What the general said is true, many towns in Jingzhou have been plundered by a sect called the Ghost Dao Mound, because the other party is all cultivators, and the local officials are powerless to stop it, and the people in Jingzhou are now worried and panicked."

After listening to this, Yan Kang pointed at Liu Qi's fingers and angrily turned into a fist, and scolded angrily, "Bastard thing"

Liu Qi, who was kneeling on the ground with fright, trembled his legs.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Jingzhou is in crisis, and I hope the emperor will make a decision as soon as possible," Xu Pingguo still said with fuel on fire.

Wan Yankang was short of breath, his hand in his wide sleeve trembled slightly, Wan Yankang knew very well in his heart that Liu Qi, the assassin of Jingzhou, must have been sold by Xu Pingguo, as for today's trouble, it must be to vent yesterday's dissatisfaction, even though he was clear in his heart but had no evidence, he didn't know what to do, and Wan Yankang was already in a dilemma at this time.

Xu Pingguo didn't give Wan Yankang a chance to breathe, and pressed step by step, "Please make a decision as soon as possible, don't end up making the people of Jingzhou miserable, heh, maybe it will be ...... to rebel later."

"Bold!" Before Xu Pingguo finished speaking, Bu Fan at the back of the Taihe Hall suddenly stood up and shouted.

This bold voice really made everyone in the Taihe Hall break out in a cold sweat, who is Xu Pingguo? The famous general Wuwei of the Cangbei Empire, which official usually dares to speak to him like this, and even the emperor has never confronted Xu Pingguo in person.

When Xu Pingguo heard Bufan's voice, he immediately turned around and roared angrily, "Presumptuous, how can you speak here!"

"The emperor is here, General Xu is so pressing, I don't know if I am presumptuous or General Xu is presumptuous?!" Bu Fan was not afraid at all, and replied directly.

"Noise! I am discussing with the emperor how to solve the crisis in Jingzhou, what kind of thing are you, and you deserve to interject?"

"General, don't forget, but I was just appointed by the emperor to the post of Kedu Division, what do you think I am?

Every time Bufan collided, it was undoubtedly a 'thunder from the sky' for the other officials in the Taihe Palace, which made them tremble.

But Wan Yankang heard Bu Fan speak for himself without the slightest fear, but his heart was a little more relaxed, and Liu Zhishu, who was at the front on the right, also squinted his eyes slightly and couldn't see any expression.

"It's only as fast as your tongue, I don't know as much as you like a child, Your Majesty, you better make a decision quickly!"

Bu Fan saw the embarrassment and displeasure on Yan Kang's face, and immediately said, "The emperor is not in a hurry, I don't know what General Xu is anxious about? Could it be that he has done something and his heart is weak? This kind of major event is naturally to let the emperor find out the situation and think about it clearly."

"You!you!" Although Xu Pingguo was already angry, he didn't know how to refute for a while, and finally came back to his senses and pointed to Liu Qi who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "This assassin in Jingzhou has personally explained the situation, what else to consider, the situation is endangered, and if you make a decision earlier, you can return peace to the people in Jingzhou as soon as possible." ”

"There are many doubts in this matter, so it is natural to find out," Bu Fan said unhurriedly.

"Where is there any suspicion, don't you talk nonsense?"

"Then I want to ask the general, why did you know about such a big thing first, not the emperor? As far as I know, the general didn't seem to take this kind of thing to heart in the past, why did he deliberately call the Jingzhou Thorn Shi thousands of miles away to explain the situation, isn't this a suspicion?"

After listening to this, Yan Kang immediately sat back in the dragon chair and asked Xu Pingguo, "Yes, why don't I know any news about this matter?"

"Liu Qi, tell me why you told the general in advance and didn't tell me, is it because you don't take me seriously?"

"Don't dare" Liu Qi on the ground listened, the cold sweat on his forehead broke out, and the head that had just been raised for a few points immediately drooped again.

Xu Pingguo thought for a long time before slowly replying, "Here's the thing, this Jingzhou Thorn Shi originally wanted to come to the emperor yesterday to explain the situation, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in Beiping, the palace was already banned, so he went to the minister's mansion to explain the situation first." Liu Qi, do you say yes or no?"

"Yes, yes," Liu Qi replied immediately.

"Oh, Liu Qi, you tell me that you don't go to the mansion of so many officials present, why did you go to General Xu's mansion, which is the farthest away from the palace, but Lord Xu has never asked about this kind of thing before, and besides, hasn't this kind of thing been reported to the prime minister first?"

"I ......," Liu Qi hesitated and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xu Pingguo immediately replied, "Your Majesty, do you suspect that the minister is colluding with Liu Qi, the assassin of Jingzhou, don't forget, the minister has accompanied the emperor to fight on the battlefield for many years in exchange for the Cangbei Empire in the peaceful and prosperous era, the emperor is suspicious of the minister, don't make the world feel cold?"

Wan Yankang had heard Xu Pingguo's excuse more than once, but every time Xu Pingguo said this, it still made Wan Yankang speechless.

Seeing this, Bu Fan stepped forward and said with a smile: "According to what the general said, is it possible that as long as the soldiers who open up the country with the emperor can do whatever they want in the future?"

"You!" Xu Pingguo was speechless this time.

Wan Yankang exhaled slightly.

But after a while, Xu Pingguo suddenly knelt on one knee and shouted to the sky, "It doesn't matter if the emperor suspects the ministers, but does the emperor really want to ignore the people of Jingzhou?"

This is the last trick that the eight-character Hu Junshi taught Xu Pingguo, and it is also the most useful one.

Seeing this, Bu Fan didn't know what to do for a while, and Wan Yankang's face was even more ugly.

"Liu Qi, Lord Liu, I don't know how many people are in that ghost knife mound?" Bu Fan asked suddenly.

Although Liu Qi didn't know what Bu Fan's identity was, when he heard that Bu Fan dared to contradict Xu Pingguo sentence by sentence, he immediately replied in a panic, "There should be three or four hundred cultivators in the Ghost Sword Tomb, but the Tomb Master of the Ghost Sword Tomb is said to have reached the volley realm, and there don't seem to be any outstanding disciples in the other places. ”

"Is it in the air?" Bu Fan muttered.

Xu Pingguo didn't react after seeing Yan Kang, and then said, "Please ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible!"

Just when Yan Kang just wanted to speak, Bu Fan suddenly stepped forward and knelt side by side with Xu Pingguo in a straight line and said, "General Xu won't worry about this matter, the general should guard the border for Cangbei" After speaking, he immediately hugged Yan Kang and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to Jingzhou to solve the matter of the Ghost Sword Tomb!"

As soon as the words fell, Taihe Hall was boiling.

"It's up to you? Do you think that if Sun Xiao wins the battle, he will be able to lead the troops to fight?" I really don't know what to do," Xu Pingguo stood up and mocked.

But Bu Fan turned a deaf ear to Xu Pingguo's words, and nodded towards Wan Yan Kang without a trace.

After Yan Kang, he said, "How many soldiers and horses do you want?"

"Five hundred armor soldiers are sufficient, and I want all the officials in Jingzhou to cooperate as much as possible," Bufan replied.

"Five hundred armor soldiers are like solving a cultivation sect, it's just a fantasy!" said a military general in battle armor.

"Your Majesty, this is not child's play, this step is only sixteen or seventeen years old, don't lose your wife and lose your soldiers when the time comes" Xu Pingguo snorted coldly.

After Yan Kang heard this, he took another look, and saw that Bu Fan was confident, slapped the table with his big hand, gritted his teeth and stood up and said loudly, "Bu Fan listens to the seal!"

"The Minister"

"I ordered the imperial envoy to send Qin, and lead five hundred imperial forest troops to Jingzhou to solve the problem of the ghost knife mound hurting the people, and the officials in Jingzhou should listen to the punishment, otherwise, they will be decided!"

As soon as the four words of the imperial envoy Qin Cha !! came out, all the officials present had shocked looks on their faces.

"I just sealed the Sipin Division, and now I have appointed Qin Cha......?

"If this sail can come back safely from Jingzhou this time, it is estimated that he will be the emperor's right-hand man in the future."

"Be quiet, I'll see the situation clearly."

Bu Fan dusted off his sleeves and replied, "Thank the emperor"
