The second prince really didn't expect that Ning Guzhou would not only pretend to deny him, but also dare to hit him!
It really pissed him off!
In his memory, although Ning Guzhou had a bad temper and was not easy to mess with, he would never dare to hit him!
He couldn't take a breath and fainted directly.
Ning Guzhou glanced at him with contempt and asked the guards to carry him to the cart and send him to Jingzhao Mansion.
During this period, they met someone from the second prince's palace who came to see him. The second prince was lying there with disheveled hair and a foul odor all over his body, and they didn't recognize him...
They came all the way, because the second prince was so smelly that everyone who saw him pinched their noses and cast disgusted looks at him.
When I arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, I happened to meet Liu Zhaowen.
Liu Zhaowen pinched his nose and asked, "What has this person done?"
Before Ning Guzhou could answer, the guard next to him spoke first: "This is a liar pretending to be the second prince!"
Liu Zhaowen glanced at the second prince with disgust. He didn't connect the smelly man in front of him with the second prince at all. After all, the difference was too big.
He said coldly: "Today's liars are so brave, they dare to pretend to be princes!"
“It’s simply a matter of life and death!”
Ning Guzhou said expressionlessly: "You are indeed seeking death. If my second brother knew about this, he would be very angry."
Liu Zhaowen's eyes changed several times. He was originally Ning Zhiyuan's man, but this time Ning Zhiyuan was suspected of treason and his nature was extremely bad.
Although Emperor Cheng Ming only grounded Ning Zhiyuan without punishing him severely, Ning Zhiyuan had committed too many crimes recently, and his position as prince was in jeopardy.
He felt that he should make plans in advance now.
The second prince has the deepest background among all the princes except the prince. Once the prince falls, the second prince has the best chance of being crowned prince.
He didn't think the second prince would be angry when he saw this person pretending to be him. Instead, he thought this was an opportunity to please the second prince.
He coughed lightly and said to Ning Guzhou: "You can continue to patrol the city, I will handle the rest."
Ning Guzhou glanced at him and left without saying a word.
Liu Zhaowen looked at Ning Guzhou with great disdain. He was just a useless prince. He had never seen any prince who could do seventh-level crimes.
During this period of time, he often caused trouble for Ning Guzhou. Ning Guzhou allowed him to find trouble and generally treated him as farts.
When he really wanted to go too far, Ning Guzhou frowned and drew his sword, but he did not dare to say anything else.
For this matter, Liu Zhaowen also gave several warnings to Emperor Chengming, but there was no news from them.
He knew that this was what Emperor Cheng Ming meant for him to take care of Ning Guzhou, so even if he didn't like Ning Guzhou again, he could only endure it at this time.
As soon as Ning Guzhou left, Liu Zhaowen immediately sent someone to the Second Prince's Mansion to report the news.
As soon as the messenger came out of Jingzhao Mansion, Ning Guzhou glanced out from the alleyway not far away, his eyes cold.
He nodded to the person next to him, and that person immediately followed the person Liu Zhaowen sent to report the news to the Second Prince's Mansion.
Ning Guzhou sneered when he saw this scene, it was time to give Liu Zhaowen some pain. Liu Zhaowen wanted to please the second prince, so he had to have that fate.
Under the operation of the person sent by Ning Guzhou, everyone in the capital soon knew that someone was pretending to be the second prince, and was caught by people from the Jingzhao Mansion.
The people from the Second Prince's Mansion searched all night but could not find the Second Prince. At this time, they heard that someone was pretending to be the Second Prince, so the Chief of the Second Prince's Mansion went to Jingzhao Mansion in person.
After Ning Guzhou arranged these things, he didn't care about what happened next, and went directly to Wuwang Sect's branch in the capital.
When Qu Wuyou saw him coming, he hurriedly came up to him and said, "Sect Master, I have got what you want."
After he finished speaking, he took out a piece of information and handed it to Ning Guzhou.
Ning Guzhou opened the information, looked at it carefully and asked, "Are there any of our people in the four rebel cities in the south?"
Compared with Zhao Guo and Gui Qian who guarded the border with heavy troops, the rebellion in the four southern cities was the first big trouble that had to be dealt with.
Emperor Chengming had always been domineering and dictatorial. After he was seriously injured this time, the performance of the princes and concubines made him very disappointed. He was reluctant to delegate power to anyone.
In the past few days, he dragged his injured body to issue many orders.
The most important ones are the distribution of Dayan's troops and horses.
In addition to sending a corresponding number of soldiers and horses to the borders of Zhao and Guiqian, he also mobilized a lot of soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion in the four cities where there was rebellion.
Qu Wuyou replied: "We have a sub-rudder there. The sub-ruler was promoted after last year's assessment and his ability is very good."
Wuwang Sect is said to be a Jianghu sect, but in fact their management mechanism is more inclined to the military.
They have a very strict internal assessment mechanism, and those who can pass the assessment to become sub-rudders represent good abilities.
Ning Guzhou's eyes were cold: "You notify us and let the sub-rudder find a way to gain control of the quelling army."
Qu Wuyou was stunned for a moment: "Sect Master, wouldn't this be too risky?"
Although he knew Ning Guzhou's true identity, Wuwang Sect was a Jianghu sect, and if it failed this time, it would definitely attract the attention of the DPRK.
When the time comes, one bad move will lead to an encirclement and suppression by the imperial troops.
Ning Guzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and asked instead, "How many people are there in our sect now?"
Qu Wuyou replied: "In addition to the civil servants in charge of business, there are about more than 10,000 people."
Ning Guzhou sighed softly, there were still too few people.
Just give him a little more time.
It is a pity that Emperor Chengming and his brothers will not give him any more time.
He whispered: "Assemble half of the troops to Beijing immediately."
Half of the troops was the maximum number he could mobilize at present, and the remaining troops were needed to maintain the normal operations of Wuwang Sect.
The rivers and lakes are also deep. If they are all transferred, they will probably be besieged by other gangs.
When Qu Wuyou heard these two orders, his heart jumped: "Sect Master, have you made up your mind?"
Ning Guzhou took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Let them come to Beijing just in case."
Of course, Qu Wuyou knew that the capital was in turmoil and was surrounded by dangers.
If something really happened, the guards and secret guards of Prince Qin's palace would not be a match for other princes.
He comforted Ning Guzhou: "Maybe things won't happen to that point."
Ning Guzhou said in a deep voice: "I hope so!"
Seeing him like this, Qu Wuyou stopped trying to persuade him and said softly: "I will arrange the relevant matters immediately."
Ning Guzhou nodded. He couldn't stay here for long, so he turned around and left.
As he walked through the somewhat deserted alley, murderous intent filled his eyes, but he walked forward as if he had found nothing.
When he walked into the alley, a pile of white powder fell from the sky, trapping him in it.
