Chapter 157 Finding a Strategy

Zhao Kuangyi broke into a cold sweat when he heard this, and his face looked horrified.

"Master and the others are using tricks to hide things from heaven. It is no longer possible to expect success from God. It is up to people to make plans for my mother..."

"After the battle at Gaoping and the two Fans escaping from the battle, the emperor's servants valued their loyalty first and then their abilities. He relied heavily on the Shenhu Camp Guards composed of the academy disciples and the Tongbao Pavilion Archer Guards, but everyone All important battles require the participation of the Shenhu Camp Guards."

"A general who can command the Shenhu Camp must be the emperor's confidant... If Shang You hadn't gone south to assassinate the Liao envoy and died, your second brother would not have been able to command the Shenhu Camp."

"The archery guards in the camp, like the students in the academy, do not fight for rights and have no objection to who should be the leader. As long as the leader is loyal to the emperor, if there is a way to conquer, Fan Aineng... will escape from the battle. Hehe, at that time, these camp guards will be broken into pieces."

Zhao Dushi paused for a moment and looked at Zhao Kuangyi, "However, the reason why these arrow guards are so united and serve the emperor is because of Master Luo Pavilion... And although your second brother is the commander of the Shenhu Camp, if you are right about these The influence of Yingwei is comparable to that of an elder of Tongbao Pavilion."

"My mother asked you to find out where the main pavilion of Tongbao Pavilion is, so that Master Zhiku takes action against the master of Luo Pavilion and the elders. The purpose is to allow your second brother to truly control the Shenhu Camp in the future... The so-called human heart is fickle. If these Arrow Guards Without the backbone, it will be easy to divide them and even bribe them for my use."

"Academy students are no better than those experienced arrow guards. They are more valuable because of their innocent hearts." Zhao Du stopped for a moment, stared at Zhao Kuangyi, and said slowly: "But it is also because of their innocent hearts that they are more likely to be innocent." All I have to do is...as long as I establish an image of family and country justice in front of them, they will naturally follow me wholeheartedly."

"You, Yan Qiu, and Gong Shaowen have devoted themselves to studying medicine in Yaowang Valley. You are also brothers. You should make use of this to make more friends with the students who serve in Shenhu Camp, carefully check their character, and keep it in mind. If necessary, If you put it to your liking at the time, it may be of great use when you have something to do in the future.”

"My mother told me, and I have remembered it."

"Although Master Luo Pavilion is injured and most of the elders have lost their lives, there are still seven or eight elders hiding in other courtyards. They will accompany the military camp in the future and influence the arrow guards in Shenhu Camp... When there is an opportunity, we should let them Master and the others take action and destroy them in one fell swoop."

"That day, the master wanted to find the location of the tomb for my mother, but I guessed that the emperor would have his trusted confidants do it. In addition to Taishi Feng, my mother also wanted to find Mr. Jiang... But my mother didn't let your second brother find out. Tingyi, do you know the whereabouts of Mr. Jiang at that time?"

"I remember that my mother once said to the child and second brother that day that Mr. Jiang cares about the peace of the people of the world and is a person who cares about the overall situation. He is not like a foolish person who is dominated by one family... If there are changes in his plans in the future, Mr. Jiang is a figure who can stabilize the situation."

Du Du nodded, smiled slightly, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of fragrant tea, and said slowly: "I didn't want to touch Mr. Jiang that day, but I can't do it now... If you want your second brother to be in power in the future, you must Mr. Jiang acts by the Emperor’s side.”

When Zhao Kuangyi heard this, he was confused for a moment and looked at Zhao Du, but he hesitated to speak and did not dare to ask.

Zhao Du's face was solemn, "If Mr. Jiang makes a mistake, the emperor will definitely not let it go. At that time, the elders of the college, and even Mr. Chu who does not want to show up to intervene in the affairs of the court, will accompany the emperor and stay in the palace. among.”

"And if this is the case, there will be a big change in the generals of the Imperial Forbidden Army, and your second brother will probably lose the position of commanding the Shenhu Camp. Once he loses the command of the Imperial Imperial Army, even if he is favored by the emperor...at most he will only

The party who is sent to lead the troops loses the opportunity to enter the core of the court."

Zhao Kuangyi hesitated for a moment and said: "My child once met Mr. Wu, Mr. Luo and others in the princess's mansion...and Mr. Jiang. Every time he mentioned the second brother, he praised him greatly. Why would his mother think that once Mr. Jiang

If there is any mistake, the second brother will also lose his position as the commander of the Shenhu Camp."

"Alas." Mrs. Zhao Du sighed and shook her head, "You idiot, if Mr. Jiang makes mistakes, Mr. Chu, Mr. Wu and others are accompanying the emperor. Do you think Mr. Luo will also participate in the palace?

Among them?"

"Luo Xiaoyao?" Zhao Kuangyi was surprised for a moment.

"Pavilion Master Luo is injured. Master Luo will naturally investigate the cause of his father's injury, but I think he already knows that the murderer is Master Zhiku."

"If Mr. Jiang is at fault, with Mr. Chu's wisdom, he will definitely find out that it is Master and the others. You said that if the whereabouts of Master and the others cannot be found, will Mr. Luo stay in the palace and wait? And with his identity

, do you think the position of commander of Shenhu Camp will be taken by him?"

Zhao Kuangyi was surprised and doubtful for a moment, "But as my mother said, Mr. Chu and the others knew about the Protector and the Tomb Formation? Then why did my mother just tell the master... Mr. Chu should not know about the Protector."

"Everything I hear when you come in and out of the Princess's Mansion is that Mr. Chu and his wife have gone into seclusion in the mountains. Therefore, my mother thought that he was ignorant. But just now I heard what Master Zhiku said...Mr. Chu suddenly showed up to investigate.

Captain Meng's body is still there, so we dare to think that he knew about the guardians and the tomb array."

"Ah?!" Zhao Kuangyi was shocked, "But if Mr. Chu knows about it and intervenes in this matter, what should we do..."

"That's why I said you can't touch Mr. Jiang now, and you can't investigate the tomb formation."

"Then..." Zhao Kuangyi was stunned, "How can we achieve great things if we don't find a protector?"

"Didn't I just tell you that your second brother is just one of the dozen or so commanders in front of the palace? He has no power, so why can the soldiers of the three armies support him now?" Zhao Du's eyes glared, "Tingyi

How can my son be so short-sighted?"

Zhao Kuangyi's heart trembled, "I know my mistake, I hope my mother will calm down."

But seeing Zhao Du's face softening, Zhao Kuangyi hesitated for a moment and then said: "If Master Zhiku and the others go to investigate on their own, what should we do?"

Zhao Dushi smiled when he heard this, "Although I am not familiar with martial arts, I do know some things. Master Zhiku said that the Zhiguang Kung Fu was impeded... I dare to guess that he was injured when he went to find Master Luo Pavilion. That's why.

Only then will I go to Tianzhu to practice for more than a year."

"Mr. Jiang is very skilled, but it's not easy for Master Guizhiku to read his memory, so he asked me to check... But now that temples are being demolished everywhere, I'm afraid that Master and the others will be stimulated and do something on their own."

Mr. Jiang agreed to the matter first, but the purpose was to delay time."

"Take advantage of this time to arrange some matters so that your second brother's power can be strengthened." Zhao Dushi paused for a moment, then thought for a moment, and then said: "The former director of the Forbidden Army Palace is here to inspect Zhang Yongde.

Tong, the pro-army bodyguard department is led by Li Chongjin, the commander-in-chief of the capital."

"If you want to succeed, you must use these two powers. However, these two are relatives of the emperor, and the emperor is a wise master. It is absolutely impossible to replace them with alienation... Even with outstanding military exploits, it cannot be done.

"

"But the current military expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty is to divide the military power of the bodyguard Li Chongjin... Li Chongjin, who is a mother but wants to be brave and good at fighting, will be the pioneer of the emperor to expand the territory, and he will definitely command the troops from all over the country.

His troops and horses mixed with the soldiers sent down from the Southern Tang Dynasty to fight in the killing field. At that time, there should not be many guards and soldiers left by his side."

"Then the position of commander of the bodyguard department...can the second brother seek it?"

Zhao Du shook her head, "Given the high regard the Emperor places on Li Chongjin, even if he leads the troops in front of the formation, he will still be the commander of the Guard Division. But he will not be able to influence the promotion of the generals of the Guard Sima Infantry Army.

…”

"Although your second brother is currently only commanding the troops of the Shenhu Camp in front of the palace, he is also assisted by the Guards Division soldiers and horses. If you allow him to transfer the general's power to these Guards Division leaders, he will be able to serve in the Guards Division from now on.

Establish prestige.”

"We can also create opportunities to recommend the generals we have made friends with in the army to serve in the Guards Department. Then there will be many grateful people in the Guards Department... There is no need to pursue the position of commander of the Guards Department."

"Although Zhang Yongde was brave in battle, he was not as magnanimous as Li Chongjin. He was afraid of the emperor's suspicion, so he did not dare to reuse or recommend good generals in the army in front of the palace. But I don't think any general is born and died for fame and fortune. Zhang Yongde's actions will make many people suffer.

If the generals have the heart to miss their talents, then I can use the same method to make these generals available to me."

Zhao Kuangyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "But if there are many generals from the Palace Front Division and the Bodyguard Division who make friends with the second brother... is it when they are inspecting the tomb array and protecting the Taoist?"

"That's right." Mrs. Zhao Du nodded, "I just heard what you said... In two days, all the academy students from Shenhu Camp will go to the front?"

"Exactly, Elder Na Weng brought some troops yesterday and said they were going to join the Shenhu Camp. Mr. Jiang, who had just returned to Beijing in the morning, had already organized them into the camp and arranged for them to go to the battle line with the students the day after tomorrow.

"

"Oh?! Elder Weng brought some people? What's the origin...how many people are there?"

"My child heard from Junior Sister Ke Xue... like the Arrow Guards of Tongbao Pavilion, there are more than 20 people."

Zhao Dushi nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Have you heard that other dean elders will go together?"

"I haven't heard Ke Xue mention this. What does mother mean?"

"Master Jiang must have returned to Beijing this time to investigate the fire in the granary of Yimen Mountain. He will definitely be suspicious of Master Zhiku. In that case... let Master Zhiku take action and kill these elders together."

"Ah?!" Zhao Kuangyi was shocked.

"Kexue, Yan Qiu and the others are also going together?"

Zhao Kuangyi, who came back to his senses, nodded, "Yes. Senior Brother Yan and the others were going to escort Jin Chuang Yao to the army, and they wanted the child to go with them. When the child came back, before he finished speaking... he went to the Buddha with his mother.

Tang, I haven’t reported it to my mother yet.”

"That's very good. It's time for you to go to the military to practice." Zhao Dushi smiled and said with a serious expression, "But you can stay in the military and work with the college students... As for how to get along with them, you don't have to worry about your mother anymore.

Did you give the order?"

Zhao Kuangyi nodded and said: "Children, keep your mother's teachings in mind."

"As for the elders in other courtyards, please remember not to ask any more whether they will go with the Shenhu Camp this time. I will let Master Zhiku investigate. If those elders are following, the master will take action.

, Don’t be upset when the time comes. But with their skills, you won’t be able to get close to them in a fight... Should you stay or retreat, just follow Yan Qiu and the others."

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Zhao Du's calm face, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "My son, please give me your life."

"What happened to the elixir made by Princess Qingqing?"

"I heard what Ke Xue said. One pill was made last month, and two pills were made three days ago. Senior Brother Xiaoyao sent them to Pavilion Master Luo to take. Unfortunately, Ke Xue doesn't know where they sent them..."

"Tingyi, you must not inquire about the whereabouts of Pavilion Master Luo." Zhao Du's voice deepened, "Listen to what Zhiku said, he has lost his memory at the moment. Even if he is alive, it will not have any impact on his plans. Don't make any extra trouble.

.”

"Perhaps Pavilion Master Luo will be with Mr. Chu now, but you should not even think about asking, including where Mr. Chu is staying. But you must remember that you should not do any harm to the people of the academy unless you have to...

Heart."

Zhao Kuangyi looked stern and said, "My child has written it down."

"You are going to look for Yan Qiu and the others right now. As usual, you can stay in the camp and prepare medicine and load the truck with them... There is no need to go back to the mansion to say goodbye."

****

In Qingliang Temple, the abbot's room, Chu Nanfeng told Wen Yi the reason why Luo Hanshui escorted Zhu Xuanzhou and the existence of the tomb formation, but Wen Yi listened solemnly.

"Zhiku took away the treasure book and the secrets of the Luo Family Tongbao Pavilion. On that day, the junior did not dare to tell the master. The existence of the tomb array was only learned later. However, for fear of disturbing the master's cultivation, he only waited for the situation to change.

I… really have no intention of deceiving Master, and I hope Master will forgive me.”

"Amitabha, when matters arise from heaven's will, we should act accordingly. Master Chu's move is really prudent. How dare I misunderstand Master Chu's painstaking efforts."

"The Pao Tomb in Yimen Mountain has been lost. I don't know if I can find the other three places with the magical power of Zhiku's 'Luo Jie Tong', so I came to ask the master for advice."

"Although it is said that the magical power of 'Liao Ji Tong' has no deficiencies and cannot be repaired, and no leaks cannot be seen, there are few Qi in the world that cannot be detected, but 'Ping Long Recognition' is also a great success method that can not be looked at without Qi, and cannot be blocked by Qi."

"If we talk about the strength of the two, whoever has the upper hand...whoever has the upper hand will have the upper hand. The most important thing now is the person who placed the tomb. If these people are not known to Zhiku...it is difficult for me to think about him.

Look for."

Chu Nanfeng felt relieved, "The people buried in the other three tombs, one is a nephew of the younger generation, and the other is a younger brother of the younger generation. Both of them have died. Now the world knows about these three burial tombs.

The general location... In addition to the Emperor Zhou and Junior Brother Jiang, there are two other people, Junior and Concubine."

Chu Nanfeng acted prudently. Although he informed Wu, Hua and Mu Daocheng of the existence of the burial tomb, he did not tell the general about the location.

"That's good, that's good." Wen Yi smiled slightly, "On that day, two laymen, Wu and Hua, came to see Lao Na and inquired... whether it was possible to read the memory of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty using the magical power of Zhiku's 'Destiny Tong'. It turned out that this was the case..."

Chu Nanfeng smiled apologetically, "After Brother Hanshui suffered, I was afraid that Zhiku would go looking for the emperor, so I wanted to ask someone to protect the emperor. Fortunately, my wife reminded me, so I asked two masters to come and disturb the master. Only then did I know

The emperor must be protected by heaven... and this will also prevent the younger generation from having to guard against thieves every day."

Wen Yi stopped spinning the rosary beads in his hand and pondered for a moment, "How could Zhi Ku find the location of the Yimen Mountain Pao Tomb...Mr. Chu asked people to find out the reason."

"On that day, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty knew that the tomb was of great importance, so he wanted to go to Yimen Mountain to place it secretly. However, the place was in a granary, and there were many guards coming and going. Due to the inconvenience, he asked Feng Taishi to place it there.

Let people do it.”

"This matter is secretly trapped. It is possible that he was able to find out because of his clever connections with people from the Great Zhou Dynasty... When this junior came to visit the master, he asked Junior Brother Jiang to return to the capital to secretly investigate the matter."

"Junior brother Mr. Jiang is doing this for...?"

"Junior Brother Jiang is accompanying the emperor as Dr. Zhou Guanglu."

"Oh?!" Wen Yi was slightly surprised, "So...junior brother Jiang Master can know that the matter of the burial tomb was not told by a layman from Chu?"

Chu Nanfeng thought he knew what Wen Yi was worried about, so he nodded, "Junior brother Jiang knew about the burial tomb earlier than junior, and the other three burials were arranged for junior brother Jiang... Since the Yimen Mountain incident, junior

I was anxious to find him, and when I sent Junior Brother Jiang back to Beijing to investigate, I also asked Master Mingwu to go with him and protect him secretly."

Chu Nanfeng originally wanted to let Ming Wu stay in the military camp in front of the formation and cooperate with Hua Qianxing and others. When the dean of the other party went there, he planned to lure out the murderer who shot Zhao Yinshan and others and capture him. But he knew that Yimenshan

When the tomb was broken, I thought that Zhiku was not going to hurt Guo Rong, but asked Mingwu to protect Jiang Qiubai secretly.

"It's good, it's good. Master Chu acted thoughtfully, but it made me worry too much." Wen Yi nodded, hesitated for a while and then said: "The incident in Yimen Mountain fell, as Master Chu expected...it was due to the conspiracy between wisdom and suffering.

What did people in the Great Zhou Dynasty do?"

"This is what this junior is thinking about. Although Zhiku has the magical power of 'fate power' and can read other people's memories... But I think he guessed that someone had laid a tomb to prevent him from doing anything. Since the emperor cannot spy, he must be looking for the emperor.

Attack from your side and your closest confidants."

"He is not a member of the court... It is difficult to tell who the emperor will ask to carry out the burial. It is possible for the palace servants, eunuchs, and court officials to search for them one by one. I don't think he will use his magical powers to find them one by one.

"

After a pause of words, he told one by one that Zhiku knew the location of Lingxiu Village and that the elders and Zhao Yinshan were shot dead in front of the formation.

"That's why I guessed that Zhiku had conspired with people in the Zhou Dynasty, so I could find out that it was Taishi Feng who sent people to the Yimen Mountain to bury the tomb, and he would spare no effort to help Zhiku. I just want to have the luck with the Dragon Vein

It’s about... that he wants to seize the throne.”

Wen Yi nodded, "Since Zhiku kidnapped King Yan four years ago, I have also suspected that Zhiku wanted to change the fate of the dragon's veins in order to prevent the Buddha from being reborn. At that time, I could not guess who he was.

How to act.”

"Just now I heard Master Chu say that he had captured the 'Golden Jue of Changing Qi' and the 'Earth Meridian Hui Shuo Sutra'. Now Master Yiluo has been in trouble again, the elders have been killed, and the tomb of Yimen Mountain has been destroyed. Looking at it, he is Zhiku.

I want to replace the Yingjie Emperor..."

"Replace the Yingjie Emperor?" Chu Nanfeng was greatly surprised, "But if so, does Zhiku have the ability to steal the sky and change the sun? Did he get those two treasures? With Mr. Zhu's ability, if these two treasures can be done

He should be able to destroy the art of stealing the sky and exchanging the sun..."

As if aware of something, he paused, shook his head and sighed, and then said: "I think it was Zhiku who found the dragon's veins one step earlier than him, and he needed to rely on the techniques of these two treasures to break the veil hidden by Zhiku."

The place where the dragon's veins reside... In the end, Zhiku obtained these two treasure books."

Wen Yi nodded and said: "What the layman Chu said is certainly reasonable, and Mr. Zhu is cautious in his actions. He is also afraid that something unexpected will happen when he goes south, so he left this tomb formation to prevent his wisdom and suffering from changing the fate of the dragon's veins...

…”

"Does the master know how Zhiku changes the fate of the dragon's veins and makes people replace the Yingjie Emperor?"

Wen Yi slowly shook his head and pondered for a long time before saying: "If you want to know how the suffering of wisdom can change the luck of the tribulation, as a protector, both the emperors of the tribulation will die, and the Buddha will not be reborn again, unless you find the dragon vein.

Only when you enter it... can you see how he laid it out."

Chu Nanfeng originally wanted to find out the real function of the tomb formation, but now he knew it in his heart. However, he thought that the dragon veins had been protected by Zhiku with his 'Leaking Tong' magical power. Even if Zhu Xuanzhou was reborn, he might not be able to find it.

Hearing this, he sighed in his heart, "This junior is still confused, I hope the master can give me some guidance..."

"Chu layman, please tell me. I know everything I know."

"In addition to protecting the fortune of the dragon vein from being changed by Zhiku, the tomb formation set up by Mr. Zhu...can it also be used to protect the disciple's protective aura?"

"Before the guardian's cultivation level reaches the Baodan realm, the protective energy in his body has the innate ability to hide. Unless it is a life-and-death situation and the emperor He Yingjie ascends the throne, it will not appear. That day, Lao Na accidentally forced the young layman to protect him.

The Qi of Tao is to hide it with the help of martial arts."

"Later, Emperor Ying Jie came to the throne... The little layman received another blessing, and he also had the hidden aura of protecting the Tao. However, no matter what, as long as the little layman is forced by someone to hold his veins, or his life is in danger, his aura of protecting the Tao will be

It will also appear."

Chu Nanfeng and Ma Xilan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They spoke silently for a moment and said, "Does Master know the purpose of the tomb in Yimen Mountain?"

"Mr. Zhu has said that you can keep it within three months. Within three months..." Wen Yi pondered and suddenly said: "Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a benevolent monarch. After his death, there must be

The auspicious energy returns to the dragon's veins. If Lao Na's prediction is true, the Yimen Mountain burial tomb is located... to prevent the auspicious energy from returning."

"Preventing the return of auspicious energy?" Chu Nanfeng was puzzled.

"It should be so." Wen Yi nodded and asked again: "Does Chu layman know when the Pao Tomb in Yimen Mountain was buried?"

Chu Nanfeng thought for a while, "I don't know the exact date, but it should be when Taishi Feng was ordered to build the mausoleum, less than half a month after the death of Emperor Taizu..."

Wen Yi nodded, "Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was benevolent to the world, and his auspicious energy returned from all places to the Dragon Vein. Although his return has increased the fortune of the Dragon Vein country, Yu Zhi has tried hard to change the fate of the Dragon Vein for hundreds of years.

Intellectual suffering should not deplete the Qi of cultivation and do useless work to prevent the return of auspicious Qi."

"Mr. Zhu is a scholar of heaven and man, so he must know this truth. The purpose of the Yimen Mountain burial mound... is only to prevent auspiciousness."

"Then what is the role of preventing the return of auspicious energy?"

"As long as there is a theory of ninety-nine returning to one, the number of three months should be for this reason, so that the auspicious energy returning from the four directions gathers in one place, and its purpose is to protect the path of calamity in the dragon veins and not to use it for wisdom and suffering."

"The path of calamity in the dragon's veins?"

"Jun Chu thinks he remembered what I said on Moforget Island that day..."

Chu Nanfeng thought for a while and seemed to realize something, "The master once said that the luck of the Yingjie Emperor is attached to the guardians. The Yingjie Emperor must eliminate his grievances and accumulate merit in order to obtain his luck. This disaster in the dragon's veins
