Xi Nuluo stroked the short beard that was carefully groomed on his face, and looked at the subordinates who prostrated themselves in front of him to report Yaozhou's situation with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, it had been fifteen days since Mengshe Zhaozhao advocated Le Jinqiu left Mengshe Zhao.
Logically speaking, if Zhang Lejinqiu goes to Yaozhou to visit Governor Ning, he will usually return in three to five days.
But this time, the trip lasted for ten days, which made Xinuluo think that Zhang Lejinqiu had had an accident in Yaozhou.
Therefore, we specially sent people to investigate, but we never expected that the people sent would be delayed for five days before returning to Meng Shezhao.
This made Xinuluo quite unhappy, and he looked at the other person with a pulled face.
"At first, when the villain arrived in Yaozhou, he only met a few of Zhaozhu's subordinates in the inn. After asking about it, he found out that Governor Ning had kept Zhaozhu as a guest in the mansion."
"But I also feel that something is wrong. How can I spend so much time just being a guest? However, the Governor's Mansion is heavily guarded and outsiders cannot enter at all."
"The villain went to find the imperial edict's subordinates again, but they also expressed their inability to do anything."
"...The villain finally used money to find out from the servants in the governor's mansion that the imperial edict seems to have left the governor's mansion."
"On the contrary, the son of the imperial edict is still in the governor's house. I thought there was something wrong, so I hurried back to report it to the imperial edict."
Hearing this, Xi Nuluo raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
"Then have you found out where the imperial edict went and whether Jialan is in the governor's mansion?"
"The father and daughter of the imperial edict left the governor's mansion together. In the governor's mansion, only his son and a few of his subordinates were left."
After receiving such an answer, Xinuluo's face became even more ugly.
Sitting on the left and right, the heads of the imperial edicts, big and small, and the tribal leaders couldn't help but look at each other.
"The great imperial edict, the imperial edict leader, could he have escaped?"
"Don't talk nonsense. If he really wants to escape, why not take his son with him?"
"Is it possible that he went to ask the imperial court for help?"
"Isn't the governor of Yaozhou an official of the imperial court? There are still elites from the imperial court stationed in Yaozhou."
"But there has been no movement in the past few days. Even if the emperor asked the court officials for help, he was rejected."
Listening to the discussions among his subordinates, Xi Nuluo pondered for a long time before raising his hand.
Seeing his actions, everyone instantly fell silent, waiting for Xinuluo, whose prestige in Mengshe's edict was higher than that of the edict to promote happiness and progress, to speak.
"He probably left Yaozhou City suddenly, so no news reached me."
"As for where he will go? In all likelihood, the Governor Ning of Yaozhou should know, with the eight hundred elites of the imperial court under his command."
"He couldn't deal with us, so he rejected the imperial edict. Therefore, it is very possible that the imperial edict really went to the court to ask for help."
If Cheng Chubi were here, he would definitely be applauded by Xi Nuluo, who has a very good brain. This guy's brain is indeed very good.
Historically, Zhang Lejinqiu was also forced to go to Chang'an with no other options, but at that time, Li Shimin only gave him an official position, a general, to strengthen his momentum.
However, this guy did not dare to continue the tit-for-tat confrontation with Xinuluo, and eventually handed over the foundation of Meng Shezhao to Xinuluo.
After hearing Xinuluo's words, a group of people started talking about it.
"Da Zhaoshou, shall we take advantage of this opportunity and strike first?
Take control of all Yizhao land and give away those party members who are still loyal to the emperor..."
"That's not appropriate." Xinuluo shook his head slowly. "The imperial edict has been canonized by the imperial court after all."
"If we directly take down Mengshe's edict and replace it with the edict's owner, it will be a loss of face for the imperial court."
"What is the most important thing in the imperial court?" Xiyouluo turned his head and glanced at his subordinates.
"The most important thing is face. If I take Mengshe's edict at this time, I will anger the court."
"In front of the elite of the imperial court, even if I have twisted Mengshe's edict into a rope, can I still stand up to the imperial court?"
These words made a group of people nod their heads in agreement. However, some people felt that Xinuluo was not decisive enough and lacked the courage to make the final decision.
Listening to the complaints of his subordinates, Xinuluo couldn't help but snorted.
"That's enough, let's leave it like this for now, wait..."
Before Xinuluo finished speaking, he heard the sound of galloping hooves coming from outside.
Then Xinuluo saw one of the spies he arranged in Yaozhou rush outside the house, jump off the horse and run in.
"Head of the imperial edict, I just received the news that the edict leader has returned to Yaozhou."
Xinu stood up in a hurry, narrowed his eyes and asked.
"So fast...are you sure you are the emperor?"
"The villain is sure that the secret agent around him has followed him back to Yaozhou and specially brought the news to the villain.
The imperial edict only stayed in Yaozhou for less than two days, and then he took his people out of Yaozhou at night and went directly to the Governor's Mansion in Luzhou."
"Luzhou Governor's Mansion?" Xinuluo looked at the spy in confusion.
At this time, the expression of an imperial eunuch next to him changed drastically and he let out a low voice.
"Could it be that the imperial edict went to ask for help from Shi Chengsanlang, the governor of Luzhou who knows the magic?"
Hearing this, all the people turned their heads to look at this person.
"Ke Duonan, what nonsense are you talking about?!" one of the imperial edicts couldn't help but changed his face and shouted.
"I'm not talking nonsense, that Cheng Sanlang really knows the magic." Ke Duo couldn't help but raised his neck and said loudly.
An imperial edict next to him also nodded hesitantly.
"Everyone, I have been to Rongzhou before, but I heard those people from Rongzhou talking about the terrible things about Cheng Sanlang.
Do you still remember that it was broad daylight that day, and the sky suddenly turned dark? It was Cheng Sanlang who was angered by the Rongzhou people, causing the sky and the earth to change color..."
"Yes, yes, I've heard about this too..."
"That's enough!" Xinuluo straightened his face and looked at these subordinates with great sorrow. Damn it, is this the time to gossip about such messy news?
At this moment, the spy who came to deliver the news hesitated for a long time, seeming to have something to say.
Seeing this scene, Xinuluo couldn't help but shouted, "What do you want to say?"
"The leader of the imperial edict, the hidden line around the imperial edict, also saw with his own eyes that Cheng Xian was able to master the magic of demons."
"!!!" There was a sudden silence in the room, and all eyes fell on the spy.
The spy saw so many edicts, big and small, looking at him like knives. He was so stressed that he quickly fell to the ground.
"I don't dare to say anything nonsense. It was the secret source around the imperial edict who said so."
"He said that when the imperial edict went to see the governor of Luzhou, he did not know that Cheng Changshi was beside him.
He spoke in silence and offended Cheng Changshi. Cheng Changshi became furious and directly caused bursts of thunder from the sky. This scene was witnessed by dozens of people who were accompanying him."
"Not long after Cheng Changshi was persuaded by the Governor of Luzhou, he calmed down and left that place. The original thunderstorm only lasted as long as Zhu Xiang's time, and the rain passed and the sky cleared."
