53: If you go against me, you will die without a whole body.
Tuk Tuk~!
At this moment, the elegant man at the head gently knocked on the table.
Although the sound was quiet, the exchange of cups and cups in the hall suddenly stopped.
"Colleagues."
The man looked around: "In addition to being rewarded and promoted, there is also a major event related to the country..."
About the country?
Everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn. Being able to say this word only proves that this matter is extraordinary.
The man pondered and said: "A year ago, a message was played on the observatory, saying that there would be major events in the territory within three years, and it would be related to the rise and fall of the Wu Dynasty."
"Three months ago, the Star Observation Tower reported again, saying that this matter would definitely start in Jinyun Prefecture. Officials on the Star Observation Tower dared to use their lives as a guarantee."
"hiss……"
Sitting down and waiting for everyone to look at each other, my heart suddenly became suspended.
From the founding of the Wu Dynasty to the present, the Star Observatory has never made a single mistake in predicting the trend of the general trend. This time, it was actually true...
"within one year?"
Zuo Chongming couldn't help but squint his eyes, instinctively thinking of the game's internal beta and the arrival of players.
Retrieval of past life memories seems to be the only thing that the Wu Dynasty can take so seriously.
As for the Lotus Sect...I'm sorry, it's not worthy.
Even if there were no players to cause trouble, the Liansheng Sect's plan would at most cause disaster to Jinyun Prefecture, and would be far from related to the rise and fall of the Wu Dynasty.
"Looking at the current situation."
The man said in a deep voice: "I believe that this matter must be related to the Liansheng Sect."
"What your Lord said is absolutely true."
Someone echoed: "Looking at the rise and fall of the Liansheng Sect, every time it comes back, it is trying to bring chaos to the Wu Dynasty."
This statement attracted the approval of many people. After all, the name Liansheng Sect has long had the same meaning as the word rebellion.
The man caught a glimpse of Zuo Chongming thinking deeply and asked aloud: "Zuo Chongming, you have had many dealings with the Liansheng Sect, what do you think?"
"What your Lord said is absolutely true."
Zuo Chongming said: "At its peak, the Liansheng Sect had a total of 108 rudders, eight guardians, four elders, two guardian envoys, etc."
"Although the Liansheng Sect has surfaced now, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. We don't know to what extent they have recovered now."
When Fang Gan and others heard this, they couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
To be honest, everyone present had some understanding of the Liansheng Sect, but when it came to the details, they knew very little.
Zuo Chongming has obviously done his homework.
"That's right."
The man's eyes showed approval, and he nodded and said: "So after you go back, you must strictly investigate suspicious things and uncover as many traitors as possible."
"Of course, when it comes to the rise and fall of the Wu Dynasty, we cannot make assumptions out of thin air. Demons have always been the enemy of our human race, and we cannot let down our guard either."
At the end of the sentence, he paused deliberately and whispered: "Emperor Wu specifically mentioned that in addition to the demons and the Liansheng Sect, don't forget the sect families."
Everyone nodded in understanding and smiled in unison.
After all, no matter the sect or the family, in Emperor Wu's heart, besides demons, they were always the most serious concern, even higher than the Liansheng Sect.
There is no never-ending feast.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Everyone then dispersed one after another and returned to their respective territories.
Since Fang Gan was not only promoted, but also transferred, he had to go back to Ping'an County again, and he happened to be on the way with Zuo Chongming.
Crunch, crunch~!
The carriage drove slowly along the official road.
Zuo Chongming and Fang Gan were sitting in the car, chatting together.
Suddenly, Fang Gan's voice changed: "Do you know where I want to be transferred?"
"Congyun Mansion."
Zuo Chongming raised his eyelids and said without thinking: "If you are determined to make contributions, you will naturally go to a more challenging place."
Fang Gan raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why Cong Yun Mansion?"
Zuo Chongming smiled: "According to the management of our dynasty, the demon-suppressing envoy is promoted to the town government envoy. It is rare for someone to be transferred across the state, unless the superiors name him and the local state and county nod."
"Awesome, I hit the nail on the head."
Fang Qian sighed: "The superiors have thrown me into a mess. The situation in Cong Yun Mansion is corrupt and the sect family is particularly strong. I really don't know how to start."
Zuo Chongming said calmly: "Divide a group, pull a group, beat a group, and destroy a group."
"Oh? What's the explanation?" Fang Qian raised his head in surprise, but he didn't expect this guy to actually answer.
Zuo Chongming rubbed his fingers and said softly: "Everyone's pursuit is different. This principle also makes sense at the level of power."
"First understand the pursuit of each force, and then... win over those who are beneficial to me, suppress those who are detrimental to me, and turn a blind eye to those who sit on the fence."
Fang Gan laughed dumbly: "It's not that easy. I'm not a fool."
Zuo Chongming sneered: "It is true that there are no fools in a power. A fool cannot build a power, but the people in the power... that is not necessarily the case."
"You mean..." Fang Qian's heart moved and he had some inspiration.
Zuo Chongming said coldly: "The accumulation of countless trivial contradictions will eventually lead to war, and war means life and death."
"Awesome, I'm not as good as you." Fang Gan kept these words in mind and looked at him deeply: "I am convinced that I lost at your hands."
"Losing? You just didn't win the most."
Zuo Chongming shook his head: "The more you bet, the greater the risk and the greater the profit. It doesn't matter if you lose, but what I lose is my life."
"..."
Fang Qian was speechless about this.
In fact, this is indeed the case. If he loses at most, he will just stand still. However, Zuo Zhongming's tightrope walk means he will die if he falls.
Fang Gan looked out the window: "What are you going to do after you go back?"
Zuo Chongming said: "Although the various forces have reached an agreement, they all have their own thoughts privately, and the small conflicts between Yinsha Sect and Xuanjian Sect will only become more and more frequent."
"What's more, the Liansheng Sect is afraid that the world will not be in chaos and will definitely add fuel to the fire. Therefore, Ping'an County will not be safe for long."
Fang Gan asked with great interest: "Where is the city? You put the blame on Zhou Yu, how are you going to clean up the mess?"
"It's very simple."
Zuo Chongming raised his eyebrows slightly: "Disobedience means having evil intentions, and having evil intentions means wanting to rebel. Who wants to rebel these days?"
Fang Gan's eyelids trembled, and he solemnly uttered three words: "Liansheng Sect."
Zuo Zhongming smiled with his teeth: "It's not that the Liansheng Sect is rebelling, but... it's the Liansheng Sect that's rebelling. They just rebelled a while ago."
Fang Gan was frightened when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid of offending everyone by doing this?"
Zuo Chongming shook his head: "They cannot represent everyone. They are just members of the collective. Anyone who objects will be isolated, and naturally no one will object."
Fang Gan smiled bitterly: "It seems that I still underestimated you. Although I overestimated you again and again, I still underestimated you in the end."
At this moment, the coachman said softly: "Sir, we are here."
"They must have gotten the message."
Fang Gan's eyes flashed with memories: "You have been waiting at the city gate for a long time. It's a pity that they don't know your character, otherwise... haha."
"I am a very simple person."
Zuo Chongming adjusted his fish dragon robe and said softly: "Those who go with me will benefit from both sides. Those who go against me will die without their bodies intact."
