Chapter five hundred and forty-eight doubts

Lu Bing said: "Your Majesty, I have told him before, but he seems to have no interest in being an official! Even if he is an official, he is probably in the court's heart and in the world. In my opinion, don't force him, just let him be the leader of his Iron Blood Sect!"

Lu Bing had long known that Zhao Yuan did not intend to become an official at all. In fact, he also understood that a person who was like a fish in water in the world might not be as good as a fish in water in the court. Instead, it might be difficult to deal with every step. After all, the court is not a world of martial arts. The intrigue and intrigue in the court are far more dangerous than the world of martial arts. And the difference is that many times, killing people will never see any blood.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan is unwilling to involve the court, and he is not willing to force it. Now the world still needs the Iron Blood Sect, and the Iron Blood Sect still needs Zhao Yuan, or in other words, it needs Zhao Yuan and his group of people to manage it. This is more important than letting Zhao Yuan enter the court as an official. Once you enter the officialdom, Zhao Yuan is now like a dragon trapped in the shallows, a tiger falls into the flat sun, and the Jianghu is simply not working in the court.

Zhu Hou nodded slightly and said, "Since Lord Lu has said that, then that's it. But you are just Qianqiu Cauldron, just to be asked for by others. If it is spread, wouldn't it mean that I'm stingy? In this way, since you use a sword, I will give you a sword. This sword was originally my sword, and those who see this sword are like me in person!"

Why did Zhu Hou still have his own ideas when he gave him a sword? In the eyes of ordinary people, this emperor practices Taoism all day long. However, the court is in order now. Does it have nothing to do with him?

Zhao Yuan was shocked, looked at Zhu Hou incredible, and said, "How can I bear such a valuable thing!"

If I come here in person, it means that even if I rise up in the Ming Dynasty, no one will stop me!

Zhu Houdao: "The meaning of giving you this sword is not to make people rely on this sword to act as a blessing on Jianhu, but to hope that you will better serve the court in the future. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan knelt on the ground and said, "I thank you for your kindness!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and nodded to the eunuch beside her. The eunuch immediately turned around and went in. After a while, he walked in with a box in his hands, held it and handed it on, saying, "Young Master Yang, please!"

Yang Kai raised his hands high, took the box with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao said, "Get up, as for the Nine Dragon Aoki Cloud Cauldron, I will ask someone to prepare it. Where will I send it to you when the time comes!"

…………

After Zhao Yuan left, only Lu Bing and Zhu Hou were left in the study. After all the eunuchs around him went down, the room became much quieter!

"Can things be like he said?"

Zhu Hou asked lightly, and he was actually not safe to believe Zhao Yuan's words.

Lu Bing said: "Yes!"

Zhu Houdao: ‘If you say so, he hasn’t lie?’

Lu Bing said: "How dare he lie in front of the emperor? As for the Tianpo Sect, there is indeed such a thing. According to the secret report of the Jinyi Guard, when they were guarding the Return Peak, the Tianpo Sect had already attacked twice. The first time they used poisonous snakes and the second time they used poisonous insects, which was hard to defend against! Now the number of people in the Central Plains is not clear, and their whereabouts are strange. Unlike the Brahma Sect, they are even more difficult to deal with!"

Zhu Hou was a little displeased and said, "If it is difficult to deal with it, can't be dealt with? Are we still afraid of a mere sect in the Western Regions?"

Lu Bing said: "Your Majesty, I think it's not because Iron Blood Sect is now the top power in Taihu Lake. Most of the surrounding gangs have surrendered. The reason why Yang Kai is unwilling to get involved with the Tianpo Sect is actually a big reason because they are good at using poison. If they secretly run to the wells in the city, ordinary people will not be able to identify whether the water is poisonous, which will cause great panic at that time! Because of this, Yang Kai and others' purpose is to appease, rather than kill them! This is not a question of whether they are afraid or not."

Zhu Hou had a calm face and said, "A small foreign country sect dared to attack the Jinyiwei. Isn't this courage too much?"

Lu Bing said: "This also shows that they are fearless. The Tiandu Sect is not my Central Plains Martial Arts Sect, and its sect is far away in the Western Regions. Even if we have thousands of troops, we will be out of reach! And it will take time and effort to deal with it. If a Qianqiu Cauldron can make them leave the Central Plains honestly, it will be much easier!"

Zhu Hou's expression still did not improve at all. A dignified court actually showed weakness to a foreign sect, which made Zhu Hou feel a little unhappy. It was said that there was no problem of bowing his head but not bowing his head.

But when he thought that as Lu Bing said, if they poisoned or something, they would suffer greater casualties to ordinary people, he could only sigh slightly and said, "I won't be the case!"

Lu Bing said: "Yes, the emperor!"

…………

Zhao Yuan returned to his residence. Shang Qianfei had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Zhao Yuan holding a box in his hand, he smiled and said, "Looking at how cautious you hold this box, it must be a treasure rewarded by the emperor. I wonder what it is?"

Zhao Yuan entered the house, placed the box on the table, and said, "You will know at a glance!"

Shang Qianfei stepped forward and opened the box and found a sword inside. The sword shark-skin scabbard, the golden swallow, and the scabbard and the sword jaw were also inlaid with rubies. In terms of this appearance, it was already valuable.

Shang Qianfei held the hilt of the sword and pulled it gently. A cold light suddenly appeared, and the sword was unsheathed.

"Well, is it a good sword?"

Shang Qianfei looked at the sword in front of him and said, "Is this the so-called Shangfang Sword?"

Zhao Yuan said: ‘This is not Shangfang’s sword!’

Shang Qianfei returned the sword to the sheath and said in confusion: "What's the Shangfang sword? Is it just because it was made gorgeously? Isn't this the emperor too stingy? We have found so many treasures and only gave one sword. However, when it comes to swords, how many swords in the world can compare to your Zhishui sword?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Of course this sword is not as good as the Zhishui Sword. Then Zhishui Sword is sharp and is not invincible in the world, but this sword can do this. This is the sword of the current emperor. If you see this sword, it is like the current emperor who is here in person!"

Zhao Yuan never expected that the emperor would reward this sword. You should know that in the plan he is implementing now, a big unstable factor is the obstruction of others, such as the Jinyiwei. With this sword, it would be like the emperor who came in person. If he encounters any danger at that time, this sword can save people.

Shang Qianfei was surprised, looked at the sword in front of him and said, "The emperor's sword now? In this way, this emperor is still not stingy."

As he said that, he put the sword back into the box and said, "By the way, what about the Qianqiu Cauldron?"

Zhao Yuan said: "The emperor has agreed and said that someone will be sent to you later!"

Shang Qianfei asked in confusion: "Send someone to send it? Isn't this Qianqiu Cauldron, the Jiulong Xiangyun Cauldron, always by his side, just reward you directly, why do you need someone to send it?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I thought this was strange at first, but now when I think about it carefully, it must be that the emperor does not believe much about us. Another point is that he feels that it is difficult to swallow this tone in his heart when he leaves Lord Lu wherever he leaves."

Shang Qianfei said: "Then in this way, it is still unknown if this Qianqiu Cauldron can be replenished?"

Zhao Yuan said: "It should be fine to get it. After all, the emperor will never regret it when he opens his mouth. Moreover, where Lord Lu is, he also knows very well the harm of the Tianpo Sect. It is not because of how powerful the Tianpo Sect is, but because of their poison. Moreover, in the eyes of these sects outside the country, the lives of the people in the Central Plains are like ants. If they intentionally take revenge and poison the water source, the people will not only suffer huge casualties, but will also cause great panic. This is the most important thing. In addition, if they break the whole into pieces and act separately, they will be even more unpredictable. If the court wants to eliminate them, it must pay a considerable price. This manpower and material resources are far better than a mere Qianqiu Cauldron. Which one is more important, whether it is Lord Lu or the current emperor, they all know it very well."

Shang Qianfei said: "What do you mean is this Qianqiu Cauldron will be sent?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Yes, but the question now is where the people of the Tianpo Sect and Zuo Yuming are. After we get the Qianqiu Cauldron, we have to hand it over to them!"

Shang Qianfei said: "Even if it is a sect, there is still a problem. Whether it is you, me, or Zuo Yuming and Bai Chenxi, no one can guarantee that the Tianpo Sect will leave the Central Plains martial arts immediately after obtaining this Qianqiu Cauldron. If they do not leave, they will remain here. If something happens one day and is noticed by the court or the current emperor, your behavior is to deceive the king! It is a death sentence!"

Zhao Yuan understood what Shang Qianfei meant, but in fact he knew very well that things were completely possible, as Shang Qianfei said, the people of the Tiandu Sect took the Qianqiu Cauldron and did not leave, and remained in the Central Plains. If something really happened in the future and was discovered by the court, he would be a deceiving king. It would be a death sentence. Even if he had a lot of contributions, even if Lu Bing might protect himself, all this would be useless. For today's rulers, they would not care about your contributions.

He thought carefully and said, "If it really doesn't work, I will personally escort them out of seclusion, and the capital is not far from the nearest border! As for how they return to their own sect through the range controlled by the Mongols, it is their own business! And if they come back to provoke a dispute after they leave seclusion, even if they try their best, they will fight! Just as the saying goes, those who violate my power will be punished even if they are far away!"

Shang Qianfei was stunned, then giggled and said, "Those who violate my heavenly power will be punished even if they are far away. Why do you really feel like a general when you say these words?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I am not a general. Well, you Zuiyu Pavilion is well-informed. Can you find out the whereabouts of Zuo Yuming and others?"

Shang Qianfei: "This is not difficult, I will arrange it. As long as Zuo Yuming and others appear in the capital, we will get the news as soon as they appear."

The Zuiyu Pavilion's intelligence network is spread all over the world, very tight, and the intelligence is conveyed very quickly, even the Jinyiwei can only look at it.

In the afternoon of that day, the Qianqiu Cauldron was sent to the place where Zhao Yuan lived. This tripod was smaller than what he thought, only a mere size, and was green all over. It was carved with auspicious clouds, and the nine dragons that were shuttled through the auspicious clouds. The original meaning was for thousands of years, and this dragon represented the emperor. It was later renamed the Jiulong Xiangyun Cauldron, which was roughly the meaning of the decorations on the tripod.

"In legend, once this Qianqiu Cauldron burns a specific spice, it can attract poisonous insects within a radius of several miles, so it has become a holy object of the Tianpo Sect. It is necessary for them to cultivate poisonous insects. But now it seems that the Qianqiu Cauldron is just average. Apart from being carved from a whole piece of jasper, it has nothing special about the fine workmanship. I really can't see any other effects except that it is of great value."

Shang Qianfei looked at the tripod in front of him, opened the top cover, reached out and gently stroked it. Then he looked at it, and then grinded his fingers gently, saying, "This tripod is indeed used frequently, is there any incense ash inside? Is this the so-called Qianqiu tripod? It must be judged by the people of the Tiandu Sect!"

Zhao Yuan said: "That's true. As you said, this tripod doesn't seem special on the surface. Why can this tripod burn special spices to attract poisonous insects? Don't the others attract? Besides the fine production, I really can't see any other characteristics. This makes me a little doubt that the purpose of the Tianpo Sect is really for this Qianqiu Tripod?"

Shang Qianfei's eyes moved from the cauldron and said in confusion: "What do you mean is they are drunken men? Isn't it wine?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I just doubt that they first said that their purpose was the Eye of Charm, and because the Eye of Charm and the original Divine Sect of my master, the Master Duan also fought with them, but they were poisoned. They helped Zuo Yu understand that Chenxi and his two people were looking for treasures. If what they wanted was in the treasure, why did they still say that the thing they were looking for was still Qianqiu Cauldron? If there were other things in this treasure, they could also tell them, and then we could hand them over them."
