For the Fang family, one of the three ancient clans, they probably don't even know how many connections there are in the capital.
Over the years, there have been many, many characters like Duan Rufeng who was let go.
Of course, it is not that simple to be favored by the ancient tribe.
What they want is just the resources or information in the hands of the Ancient Clan, and they may not really sacrifice their lives for the Ancient Clan.
But having said that, if you just ask them to reveal something that is not a secret, the difficulty will be much lower.
Among the hidden lines left in the Fang family's stronghold, there is one that can directly approach the target of 'Xu Chong'.
Gongsun Mansion.
"Recommend Xu Chong?"
Gongsun Mang was stunned for a moment, then became a little disdainful, "Xu Chong is different from people from a small family like me. Taizu's legacy is backed by the royal family, so there is absolutely no need to get involved with your Taiping Dao. I advise you to give up this idea."
"Master Gongsun's words are wrong."
Fang Lezhong chuckled, "We are just appreciating the outstanding juniors. Just like you back then, we formed a good relationship in advance... After so many years, has there been anything in our Fang family that has made it difficult for Mr. Gongsun?"
"Indeed, it doesn't, but this only proves that my utilization value is not enough. It cannot prove anything else."
Gongsun Mang twitched his lips.
"Haha, Master Gongsun refuses to believe us, how can he still believe in Emperor Yongtai?"
Fang Lezhong's eyes flashed and he said meaningfully: "Not to mention anything else, in our entire Taiping Dao over the years, we have never massacred civilians once."
"..."
Gongsun Mang's face darkened, but he couldn't refute it at all.
After what the prince has done these days, Du Qianchuan's deeds have almost spread throughout the capital.
Compared with before, only the participants of the imperial meeting knew about it, now it is almost known to everyone.
The difference is that what a larger number of people hear is the hearsay version, which only has a rough outline and does not know so much detailed data.
The direct consequence is that the people do not believe it.
This is something that Prince Jiang Xinghe, Gongsun Mang and other direct officials of Zhan Shifu never dreamed of.
In the past, people in the capital would almost always believe such gossip, such as a certain official's corruption and bribery, a certain nobleman's masculine behavior, etc.
It was the turn of the gossip to appear on the heads of the late emperors, but they did not believe it.
Not only did they not believe it, but they also spontaneously defended it, looking for evidence from various historical materials, rumors, and even fabrications that the late emperor loved his people like his own son.
This made Jiang Xinghe feel extremely ironic, and also made all Zhan Shifu officials feel extremely absurd.
Gongsun Mang sighed secretly. "If you want to see Xu Chong, no problem, go meet him in Zhan Shifu... I can give you a one-time passage prop."
It's easy to let go, but he's not that careless.
These two people from the six major families claim to be introductions, but who knows what their real intentions are.
It would be easier if the meeting place were changed to Zhan Shifu.
"Zhan Shifu..."
Fang Lezhong and Fang Leshan looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
"We don't intend to harm anyone, but we also don't intend to be harmed."
Fang Leshan said coldly, "If you enter Zhan Shifu, as long as the prince closes the entrance and exit with a thought, you can catch a turtle in the jar..."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Gongsun Mang spread his hands, "Since Xu Chong took up the post of Xi Ma, he has never left Jixiangtian once. If I invite him suddenly, let alone what will happen to me afterwards... Do you think he won't be suspicious?
?”
The faces of the two Fang family members became ugly.
"Or maybe you two wanted to do harm to him, but because of your Taipingdao status, you thought you could fly away afterwards?"
Gongsun Mang sneered again and again.
Fang Lezhong's eyes darkened.
After all the words have been said, there is nothing to be polite about.
A wisp of breeze blew by and strangled Gongsun Mang violently.
"Let me tell you this."
Fang Lezhong pointed outside the study, "Everyone in Gongsun Mansion is normal. Why?"
"The attitudes of the two of us have given you enough face. Why?"
"Is it because we are afraid of your Gongsun family?"
"no."
"It's just because we are willing to give you and the Gongsun family a chance."
Fang Lezhong waved his hand and slightly loosened his grip on Gongsun Mang, "If you don't want this opportunity, you can just say so."
"Cough cough cough..."
Gongsun Mang coughed and was horrified.
Only now did he understand the weight of the old man in front of him.
Dharma Realm! It must be Dharma Realm!
This is just one of the two...what state should the other one be in?
Dharma form? Golden body?
No matter who it is, even an ordinary person, if they have a Dharma image, they can surely kill the Gongsun family.
This is the tragedy of a small family.
Without the warning device created by the Ministry of Industry, no one would know if the strong man wiped out the family.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Gongsun Mang said: "It's not that I won't help you, but that Xu Chong really doesn't leave Jixiangtian... Since you are at this level, you must have other clues, right? Just ask around and you will know."
"Even so, since you are Zhan Shi, it shouldn't be a problem if you order or send someone to wash the horses, right?"
Fang Leshan asked calmly.
"Shi Zhan's position is not low, and he is considered a powerful person in the court... But you have to see who you compare with."
Gongsun Mang forced out a bitter smile, "Compared with Xu Chong, he is obviously not qualified... Even if I invite him, he may not give me the face."
"You lied!"
Fang Lezhong suddenly increased the strength of the breeze, "Even without the relationship between colleagues, your classmate Zhang Shunyi is a fellow student of Xu Chong... Don't do any investigation before we find you.
?”
"..."
Gongsun Mang felt despair in his heart, knowing that he had no room for mediation.
But what to do?
Fighting for the entire Gongsun family and vowing not to compromise?
To be honest, first of all, he didn't have that much dislike for Taiping Dao, and secondly, he didn't have such a deep friendship with Xu Chong.
The reason why I didn't want to help these two people set up Xu Chong was simply because I was afraid that the Gongsun family would still be held responsible.
After all, it was the legacy of Taizu, and even his mentor Lu Zhong wanted to fawn over him.
But now, it seems that he is not allowed to choose?
In other words, who else can save the Gongsun family now?
Gongsun Mang thought hard, and after a long time he sighed and opened his mouth to signal.
"very good."
Fang Lezhong nodded with satisfaction and loosened his grip on Gongsun Mang.
"I will entertain many people, not just Zhang Shunyi and Xu Chong, and I don't guarantee that Xu Chong will attend the banquet."
Gongsun Mang said, "This is my only condition, the condition that can try to get rid of Gongsun Mansion. If you don't agree..."
In his opinion, no one can help the current Gongsun family.
So he can only save himself.
As for what these two people wanted to do to Xu Chong, he was no longer qualified to intervene.
Unfortunately, Gongsun Mang guessed wrong.
There was another person who witnessed this scene in Gongsun Mansion with his own eyes.
It was Xu Chong himself.
It's a coincidence.
In recent days, Xu Chong always felt that the atmosphere in Zhan Shifu was not right.
Even the few petty officials under his command often whispered and whispered to each other.
Upon hearing this, it turns out that the East Palace is about to change hands...
The prince asked everyone to prepare to serve the new master of the East Palace.
Xu Chong's first thought was that the prince was preparing to seize the throne and ascend the throne in advance.
It just so happened that as soon as the value expired today, his soul felt a slight crisis.
However, after finding the prince, he discovered that the crisis was not within the auspicious sky.
Instead, it points to the outside of the cave.
Since he didn't have a strong sense of crisis, which meant he had a good chance of averting the danger, Xu Chong left Jixiangtian and followed the direction of the crisis, all the way to Gongsun Mansion... and then he saw two acquaintances.
Fang Lezhong and Fang Leshan.
These two old guys didn't even bother to do the most basic disguise, so they just wore the same appearance as they did at the Spring and Autumn Tomb.
Maybe it’s because I’m confident, or maybe I’m relying on the fact that no one in the outside world knows me.
In short, Xu Chong recognized him at just one glance.
Now Xu Chong is still hiding outside Gongsun Mang's study, and his phantom body has gone to the Xueyi General Office to find Dou Tianyuan.
To deal with the elders of the Fang family, he himself is still a little weak at the moment, so he has to rely on Dou Tianyuan's strength.
It was a pity that Chuan Yun Ling was taken to the Spring and Autumn Tomb, and he was unable to contact Dou Tianyuan instantly.
Although the phantom body broke through the sky with one hand and rushed to the Xueyi Wei Zongyamen, it also failed to find Dou Tianyuan.
He must have gone out for something.
Xu Chong continued to listen to the sounds coming from the study while controlling his phantom body to wait.
"...Where is the banquet location?"
Fang Lezhong asked.
"The ones I go to most often are Miao Ke Lai and Weiyang Pavilion... both are in the east of the city."
Gongsun Mang replied.
Fang Lezhong twitched his eyebrows and showed a slight smile, "Then Weiyang Pavilion."
"...Everyone in the capital speculated about the background of Weiyang Pavilion. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the Fang family, one of the six major families of Taiping Dao."
Gongsun Mang's heart became increasingly gloomy.
"When the time comes, the two of us will pretend to be servants and secretly control Xu Chong to leave with us. You will be responsible for attracting other people's attention."
Fang Lezhong said lightly: "Don't worry, no one will doubt you... Besides, as long as Xu Chong is willing to cooperate with you, I don't need to kill him."
After hearing this, Xu Chong finally understood what the purpose of Fang Lezhong and the others was to find him.
No clothes.
Thinking about it, apart from this, nothing else would make the Fang family's attention fall on the identity of "Xu Chong".
"Thankfully I came out today... No, with the divine warning here, it's hard for anyone to plan anything against me."
"Moreover, after I learned who the enemy was, the warning from the soul completely disappeared..."
Xu Chong twitched the corners of his lips and once again felt the power of Zifu Zhongdao.
As far as we know so far, only the Fang family has successfully planned the Yangshen Powerhouse.
And the conditions here are very harsh:
First, the Spring and Autumn Tomb wrapped in the coffin of the forbidden law blocked the Fang family's evil thoughts towards Lin Kuang.
Second, what the Fang family revealed to Emperor Yongtai was just a rumor.
Third, Emperor Yongtai is smart enough.
Fourth, Emperor Yongtai possesses the Heaven of Immortality.
Five, Lin Kuangtou is strong enough...
The above conditions are intertwined and each one is indispensable.
It should be said that it was Emperor Yongtai who joined forces with the Fang family to complete the plan against Lin Kuang.
While Xu Chong was thinking, there was movement from the side of the phantom body.
"Yo? Are you willing to come out of the East Palace?"
Dou Tianyuan still appeared in the backyard.
"There are two people who are in the third level of Taoism. They are currently in the study of Gongsun's family. They are the elders of the Fang family of Taiping Dao."
Xu Chong controlled the phantom body and went straight in, "They are planning to secretly arrest me and get the phaseless clothes from me."
"..."
Dou Tianyuan was stunned for a while, and after a long while he couldn't help but said: "I believe I believe you, but how do you know? Incarnation?"
No wonder Dou Tianyuan was not surprised.
Although he is standing right in front of him, he can tell what is happening elsewhere... It seems like an incarnation outside of himself.
Xu Chong was well prepared for this: "I pushed Ge Wanshan's greed to the sidelines. This is a phantom body, not an external incarnation..."
"...I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"
Dou Tianyuan gritted his teeth, glared at Xu Chong, then stretched out his hand to push the door open.
"Wait... you're the only one?"
Xu Chong was a little stunned, "These are the third realms of two species."
"With intention and without intention, so what if there are two peaks of the third realm?"
Dou Tianyuan curled his lips and took a step forward.
Almost instantly, Xu Chong, who was eavesdropping outside Gongsun's study, heard two muffled sounds.
Immediately afterwards, Gongsun Mang exclaimed.
"Master Dou?!!"
I wiped it so quickly???
Xu Chong showed his body and broke through the door.
There was a bloody hole in Fang Le's center and he fell to the ground with his eyes closed tightly, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Around him, transparent fragments were scattered all over the ground.
The fragments shine with a gorgeous and dazzling light, seeming to be some kind of powerful protective treasure.
Fang Leshan, on the other hand, was grabbed by Dou Tianyuan's neck and lifted up in the air. His whole head was flattened by half, and he seemed to have lost consciousness as well.
The two men, who were both considered strong men within the Fang family and in the capital, were able to capture them without any resistance.
Even though Xu Chong had imagined Dou Tianyuan as powerful as possible, he was still inexplicably shocked.
How strong is Dou Tianyuan...?
As for Gongsun Mang, he was not only shocked, but also scared.
fine!
Fortunately, the cooperation with the Fang family is still under discussion and has not had time to be implemented.
Otherwise, even if you just reserve a seat in Weiyang Pavilion, "being coerced" will no longer be a reason for exculpation, and the charge of liaison with the rebels will definitely be confirmed.
"Master Dou..."
Gongsun Mang's feet felt weak, "Thank you, thank you for saving my life..."
"We'll talk about your business later."
Dou Tianyuan ignored him, looked at Xu Chong, and snorted coldly: "Do you see clearly? This is the nine turns of the golden body, combined with the peak of breaking the sky with one hand... Why should you practice if you don't follow such a bright road?
Greedy for glory?"
"This is what my lord taught me."
Xu Chong smiled and looked at the two unconscious old square heads, his eyes flickering.
"The Fang family is one of the three ancient clans, right?"
Dou Tianyuan suddenly reacted, "How do you know they are from the Fang family?"
"It's a long story..."
Xu Chong thought for a while and decided to tell Dou Tianyuan something, "Let's talk in a safer place."
"There's something I want to tell you."
"In addition, these two people have great use value, maybe..."
————————————
Today I shamelessly asked around in local circles, and was told that the recovery period for local surgeries would be very long, and I felt like dying...
Fortunately, the symptoms are partially relieved today.
The author decided to wait until the book is finished before finding a good hospital.
In this current state, it should be fully restored to the updated state within five days.
The previously guaranteed guaranteed updates and lack of updates are a bit of a slap in the face, and they will be added one after another.
