Prime Minister's Office. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jiang Ji sat in the room with a dark face.
Not only did the assassination of Shiyun fail, but the Quartet Realm had some trouble and temporarily stranded his cooperation with him, which made him uneasy. At the same time, some time ago, there were spies who reported that the prince Ji Xi was in frequent contact with the princeling ministers, and judging from all kinds of unfavorable signs, Shiyun may have been in contact with Ji Xi and hid in the capital, which is really bad news.
Jiang Ji put one hand on the table, his fingers constantly tapping on the table, thinking about the possible counterattack he was about to face.
"I didn't expect the remnants of the Shi family to become a monk in the blink of an eye, which was beyond my expectations. If he wants to clear his name, what will he do next?"
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the room, and Jiang Hang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, hurried in.
Jiang Ji's movements stopped and he retreated: "Is there any new news?"
Jiang Hang sat beside him and whispered, "The princelings, they have made a move in the October Soul Sacrifice Ceremony. ”
Jiang Ji: "So they are going to avenge the grievances of the second prince and the Shi family at that time?"
Jiang Hang: "Judging from their various behaviors, this should be the case. ”
Jiang Ji: "I don't know what evidence they will come up with, without real evidence, Your Majesty will not fulfill their wishes." ”
Jiang Hang: "In addition, this time it is the ministers of the prince Ji Xi who contacted him. He has been silent all these years, but now he has suddenly become active, so I think Shiyun, the son of the Shi family, may have also arrived in Duhiko, and he has already figured out some clues. ”
Jiang Ji nodded and said, "I think so too." ”
Jiang Hang said nervously: "The prime minister has already thought of it, so what countermeasures are there?"
Jiang Ji glanced at him and said, "Countermeasures?" ”
Jiang Hang became restless when he heard Jiang Ji's answer: "How can that be good!"
Jiang Ji said calmly: "If others don't figure out what cards they play, even if you come up with countermeasures, what's the use? Besides, the enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark, what are you afraid of!"
Jiang Hang arched his hand and said, "What the prime minister said is true." ”
Between the words, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Jiang Ji: "If I'm not mistaken, the remnants of the Shi family are already a monk, and the Quartet Realm has missed one after another, so from this point of view, he is not easy to deal with." ”
Jiang Hang: "What should I do then?"
Jiang Ji: "But they shouldn't have chosen the timing of their attack at the Soul Sacrifice Ceremony." ”
Jiang Hang was aroused and said, "Why?"
Jiang Ji glanced at him and said, "Don't forget, who is in charge of this ceremony." ”
Jiang Hang suddenly realized that he patted his forehead and said, "Yes, before and after this soul sacrifice ceremony, you have full authority to arrange it, Prime Minister." ”
"It's good that you know, when the time comes, I will bring the cultivation forces that have been friends with me over the years to the Soul Sacrifice Ceremony, and suppress those princelings in the name of soul sacrifice unknowingly, so that they will not return. Jiang Ji snorted coldly: "Even if the remnants of that Shi family come, what are you afraid of." Laying out the nets of heaven and earth, can he alone withstand the power of a hundred thousand monks?"
In that case, there is nothing to be afraid of. Jiang Hang wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said: "I didn't expect the Quartet to be so unreliable, which made me worry all the time." ”
Jiang Ji said: "It's no wonder that they have a master to protect them on the road, so it can only be said that his life should not be extinguished." ”
Jiang Hang sighed: "That kid is really fateful, he escaped from the thousands of troops three years ago, and now the cultivation forces can't do anything about him." By the way, something suddenly occurred to me that seemed a little weird. ”
"Oh, what's the matter, let's hear it. Jiang Ji took a sip of tea.
Jiang Hang: "Ji Xi Shizi seems to be a little interested in the military, and he has been investigating the soldiers with outstanding achievements in the army in the past few days, and he doesn't know what to do." ”
Jiang Ji put down the teacup and said, "Why did he suddenly investigate the people in the army who have outstanding military achievements?"
Jiang Hang said: "He said that he wanted to pay homage to the generals in the army and learn the way to govern the army, but this time he only checked the soldiers of the Great Yan Xuan Army, and they all joined the army four years ago. I always felt that something was wrong. ”
Jiang Ji pondered for a while, and muttered: "Great Yan Xuanjun, ...... four years ago" After a while, his eyes widened: "It's not good, they're checking Xiangbu!"
Jiang Hang said: "Xiang Bu? Isn't that the 'fast knife hand' of the Shi family's murderous people? He has been missing for many years, what is Ji Xi doing to check him?"
Jiang Ji explained more to him, and hurriedly took out a jade plaque from his sleeve, and said something in his mouth.
He pointed sharply, and the jade light on the jade plate flickered, and the golden jade rings rushed out from the jade plate, interlocking with each other and spinning rapidly.
Suddenly, the golden ring must form a golden mirror, and a man in military uniform in the mirror frowned and looked at Jiang Ji, and said with a displeased face: "Prime Minister Jiang, why are you suddenly interested in using Qianli Chuanyin to find me today, I still have a lot of military affairs to deal with." ”
This person is none other than Fang Hui, the commander of the Great Yan Xuanjun.
Jiang Ji snorted coldly and said, "Whether your military affairs are important or your life is important, you are in great trouble." ”
In the mirror, Fang Fang replied with a heavy face: "Prime Minister, you wait for me for a while." ”
I saw that Fang Hui changed the place in the mirror and said, "Please tell the prime minister in detail!"
Jiang Ji: "Is the Xiang Bu of the former family army still under your account?"
Fang replied: "Don't you know before and after this? ”
Jiang Ji: "Didn't you think about getting rid of him? ”
Fang Hui smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that he has a back hand." He stole the false decree before me, and I must ensure his safety when he takes refuge in me, otherwise if he dies in an accident, the false decree will be sent to His Majesty. In this way, I don't dare to act rashly, and he has been conscientious over the years, and he has made a lot of contributions, so I will also use this aspect of my mind again. Is something going on?"
Jiang Ji: "Shizi Ji Xi may have found some clues and suspected him." I hope it won't be long before he can find out about him. I'd rather kill him than let it go, you find a time to solve him as soon as possible, and as for that secret decree, I will find a way to eliminate its influence. ”
The direction was silent, and his face became strange.
Jiang Ji's eyelids jumped and said, "What's the matter?"
Fang Hui: "The day before yesterday, he was just sent by me to carry out the task of suppressing bandits near Duyan, and now it is estimated that he should be near Duyan, and I don't know his specific location now." ”
Jiang Ji: "Since it's near Duyan, then let me come!"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Ji stopped talking nonsense with Fang, and decisively cut off the jade card.
He kept moving his hands, muttering words in his mouth, and contacted another person.
"Mocking wind, you can pay back the favor you owe me!"
