At this time, Jiang Sibai was feeling very anxious, but it was not convenient to show it. After all, this was a situation of his own making.
The patrolling Heavenly Official ran away as if he had survived a disaster, leaving only Jiang Sibai and Taoist Heron in a mess in the wind.
Taoist Heron asked with a somewhat difficult expression: "Is it possible that being an official in Heaven would be so humble?"
Jiang Sibai nodded with deep approval and said, "I didn't expect the Heavenly Official to be so spineless this time."
The four boys who were watching the whole process from a distance couldn't help but curled their lips. They were all following the backbone of the Heavenly Officials, but now the two 'backbone' Heavenly Officials were gone.
Jiang Sibai felt very sorry for letting Taoist Heron see the "dark side" of Heaven.
But just when he was thinking about how to comfort Taoist Heron, Taoist Heron himself had already thought through it and said: "I think this heaven is not much different from the mortal world. If you are struggling at the bottom, everything you see will be dark.
"
"So this time I must help Zhe'er succeed, so that I can become a heavenly master and get rid of these low-level struggles."
Jiang Sibai wanted to say that it would be okay to become a Heavenly Master...but after thinking about it, he might as well forget it and give Taoist Heron a thought.
While they were lamenting each other, the Dayan Central Committee finally came to deal with what happened in Zhouzhou County.
Jiang Sibai and Taoist Heron watched the process of Gongsun Zhi accepting the imperial edict as Yafu and Master respectively, and then felt a sense of looking at each other.
In the imperial edict, he first praised the achievements of Gongsun Zhi, a young man in the clan, and even because he had not yet performed the crowning ceremony, the Emperor of Yan simply completed the crowning ceremony for him in the form of an imperial edict.
Although it was rushed, it showed the Emperor Yan's skill.
Emperor Yan, as the elder of the clan, performed the crowning ceremony on Gongsun Zhi's behalf when his parents both died. This is definitely a great kindness in this era.
It can be seen that this Emperor Yan obviously wanted to control the heart of Gongsun Zhi, the Qilin'er of the clan.
After a quick ceremony, Gongsun Zhi took over the post of governor of Zhouzhou County on his behalf and allowed him to fight across the border.
After carefully considering this imperial edict, I found that except for the fact that Emperor Yan used the imperial edict as a crown ceremony for Gongsun Zhi, there were no other substantial benefits.
Last week, the prefect of the county was also acting as the leader. He was allowed to fight across the border in order to consider the surrounding situation. In fact, these are all things that can be taken away with an imperial edict.
There was not even any mention of what to do with the throne of the King last week, as if he was letting the throne go with the wind...
If Gongsun Zhi is an ordinary young man from the clan with little knowledge, then he should be very happy at this time. After all, who can lead a county as the governor at the age of seventeen, and who can lead the army with integrity at the age of seventeen?
But Gongsun Zhi was trained by Jiang Sibai, and he was almost 'pickled' by Lingxi Incense...
He instinctively felt something was wrong.
Mr. Wen, as the head of Gongsun Zhi's staff at this time, had already thought about it and said: "Young Master, I think your Majesty wants to make great use of you. After all, if you really become the king of the princes, then you will definitely not be able to join the central government."
Your Majesty has found a way to share your worries."
This is the level that a head of staff should have. He must analyze the current actual situation for the Lord.
Gongsun Zhi sighed: "But if this happens, I will completely lose the throne passed down by my father and ancestors. From now on, I will become a sharp knife in your majesty's hand."
"I even think that when we calm down the chaos around Zhouzhou County, I will be transferred again with an imperial edict, and eventually I will go far away."
He saw clearly, but he had no intention of getting angry.
Mr. Wen thought for a while and said: "In this case, we may be able to calm it down and wait for the right time."
"After all, the young master's foundation is all in Zhouzhou County. If he leaves this place, he will become a rootless duckweed."
Jiang Sibai was filled with emotion as he listened to the various discussions between Mr. Wen and Gongsun Zhi.
Mortals have so many evil thoughts. Is Mr. Wen trying to persuade Gongsun to stop raising bandits and respect himself?
But this approach was really not Gongsun Zhi's style. He couldn't help but look to Jiang Sibai and Taoist Heron for help: "Afu, Master, what should I do?"
Jiang Sibai knew his hesitation, so he said, "Why not let your master make a fortune for you?"
Gongsun Zhi immediately became interested and quickly looked at Taoist Heron expectantly.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Heron looked at Jiang Sibai and said helplessly: "Fellow Taoist, you actually still remember what happened back then."
Jiang Sibai laughed and said, "Is it true that fellow Taoists are good at divination?"
Taoist Heron nodded and said, "Then let's make a divination for you."
So Henglu Taoist took out the copper coin turtle shell and started divination.
Strangely enough, Mr. Wen, who never believed in ghosts and gods, had great faith in this trick.
Perhaps in his eyes, divination is a 'high-end skill' that can be integrated into life.
Taoist Heron calculated three hexagrams in a row, and then said in surprise: "The hidden dragon comes out of the abyss. This is a very auspicious hexagram. It means that no matter what Zhi'er decides this time, everything will be smooth sailing."
Mr. Wen was a little speechless. This made him feel even more uncomfortable than Taoist Heron suggesting another possibility. This simply meant that there was no need for them to think so much at this time!
Even Gongsun Zhi was a little confused.
But Jiang Sibai had already looked in the direction of Luodu in the distance and said: "Friend Heron's hexagram is correct. The evil spirit in the direction of Luodu is getting stronger and stronger, and it feels like it will explode at any time."
"Presumably even if Emperor Yan wanted to polish Zhi'er, it was already too late."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, because Jiang Sibai meant another way, that is: Emperor Yan is probably dead!
In other words, Luodu, the center of Dayan, will be destroyed by the war!
What an amazing result.
Even those with a clear eye knew that the world was about to be in chaos, but the eight hundred years of rule by Dayan had long been ingrained in people's hearts, and no one had ever thought that Dayan would end in this way.
Mr. Wen didn't believe it. He shook his head and said: "This is impossible. The Huangling Army is just a group of bandits. Even if they attack counties one after another, they will never be able to attack Luodu!"
Jiang Sibai shrugged and did not argue with him. After all, the two of them looked at things from different perspectives.
One is materialism and the other is metaphysics.
From Jiang Sibai's metaphysical point of view, Gongsun Zhi's parents had previously caused disaster for him, which was considered as "parents offering sacrifices to heaven" to ward off disasters, and the next step should be to bring good luck.
Otherwise, how can we call it luck?
And Gongsun Zhi's trust in Jiang Sibai was indeed unreserved.
He immediately made a decision to organize the entire county to prepare for war and prepare to send troops to the county to suppress the bandits after the spring plowing.
When Mr. Wen saw this, he could only sigh secretly and stop trying to persuade him.
However, Taoist Heron looked at this scene and suddenly said with emotion:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I would like to build a magical armor to help him achieve his goals. I wonder if you would be willing to cooperate?"
Jiang Sibai found it interesting after hearing this, and said, "Okay, let's divide the work. I'll be here to build the weapons, and I'll leave the armor to you, fellow Taoist."
