"Haha, I'm kidding. There are only a few Mohist disciples. Most of them are in the Ministry of Industry. The few who joined the army are also in the Bureau of Equipment Manufacturing. How could I be a Mohist disciple?" Seeing Wang Xulu stunned for a moment, Xu Zhi laughed boldly and said,
It's like telling a bad joke.
Wang Xu laughed along with him, and then recalling Xu Zhi's previous expression, he didn't think he was joking.
There's something fishy, Wang Xu thought, but he didn't intend to delve into it further.
There are too many people with secrets in the world. The difference is that some people have big secrets, and some people have small secrets.
And those who are too curious will not be able to become a royal guard, let alone survive in this world full of secrets.
"After all, I still have to report Jiang Tianchen's matter to the imperial court. After all, as the emperor's personal soldier, Jinyiwei has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and the governor is not a cat or a dog. He will not investigate the matter.
When the truth comes out, we cannot afford to be blamed by the higher authorities."
The speaker was Wu Yong, the magistrate of Fuzhou. He was an old man in his sixties. If he could not go further and enter the court to become a marquis and become a prime minister, he would be an official in a few years.
Fuzhou ranks neither high nor low among the 36 states in the world. It is neither a prosperous state capital nor the most barren area.
Although he was unwilling to do so, Wu Yong knew very well that if he had no other opportunities in his life, he would probably retire from his position as Zhizhou.
A hundred years later, the imperial court looked not at merit but at hard work, and could give him another half-level promotion, and put him in a third-grade court uniform when he was buried in the tomb.
Therefore, when it comes to handling government affairs, Wu Yong is known for being conservative. His general concept is not to seek merit, but to seek no faults. Even if he cannot make progress, he cannot be pulled down.
At present, the matter of Jiang Tianchen, the governor of Fuzhou, is an internal matter within Jinyiwei, but if something goes wrong, he, the governor of the state, will still be implicated.
"The zombies have been killed. The rest is between your royal guards and the court. It is not convenient for me as a warrior to participate. If the person who harmed Jiang Zhenfu is a demon, you come to Danling Mountain to find me. When the time comes, the army will be dispatched.
Kill him without leaving any trace behind!" The military and political affairs of the Daning Dynasty were separated. Xu Zhi, as a general under Danling Marquis, also knew how to avoid suspicion when it was time to do so.
Soon, Xu Zhi left with his soldiers and horses and rushed to the Danling Mountain military camp.
As soon as Xu Zhi and the army left, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became relaxed. Wu Yong glanced at Wang Xu and the other two Qianhu, and said: "Where did the zombies come from? Whether Jiang Tianchen's governor is alive or dead depends on it."
You can investigate it internally. I will send a letter from Hongyan back to the capital about what happened, Wang Qianhu. You exposed the identity of the zombie and killed it. I will report all of this."
When Wu Yong said this, he pretended to look at the sky, waved his hand and said: "I am busy with my affairs, so I won't bother you any more. Let's go back home!"
The gongs and drums opened the way, and the government officials accompanied him. Wu Yong got on the eight-carriage sedan and left.
When all parties had withdrawn, Wang Xu and the two Qianhu looked at each other and walked towards the meeting hall with understanding.
Arriving at the meeting hall of the health center, Wang Xu took the main seat as a party involved, and two Qianhus sat beside him, asking: "Wang Qianhu, you were the one who revealed the identity of the zombie. Can you tell me the details at that time?"
The name of the Qianhu who spoke was Feng Zhong. He was one of the two Qianhus who were in charge of the Fuzhou City and were responsible for the Jinyiwei training camp of the Fuzhou Health Center.
"I just arrived in Fuzhou City last night. As a routine matter, I went to the Zhenfu Mansion to meet Mr. Jiang. When Mr. Jiang saw me, we were separated by a screen. He was breathing but had no heartbeat. This caught my attention at that time. Then I used an excuse to check on Mr. Jiang's condition.
, bypassed the screen and came to the back hall, and I could see at a glance that the person sitting in the main seat was a zombie."
Wang Xu narrated what happened, then changed the topic and said doubtfully: "Before I killed the zombie with a thunderbolt, the zombie said that he was Jiang Tianchen, this"
The two Qianhus looked at each other, and before Feng Zhong could speak again, Qian Qianhu, who was in charge of the intelligence, said: "Impossible, Mr. Jiang must have been killed by a zombie. That zombie cannot be the person Mr. Jiang is.
Change."
"Yes, yes, Master Jiang can only die for the country, and he can never turn into a zombie and come back, otherwise our Jin Yiwei's face will be disgraced!" Feng Zhong said here and gave Wang Xu a meaningful look.
Wang Xu thought deeply and said nothing. The governor of Jinyiwei Town in Fuzhou was actually a zombie. It would not be nice to tell this.
Moreover, Jiang Tianchen did not become a zombie just today. He was probably bitten by a zombie as early as half a year ago when he was bedridden.
In the past six months, he must have been trying his best to fight against the corpse poison, which is why he announced that he was terminally ill.
Once the Capital Guard knew that Jiang Tianchen had an accident six months ago, the Fuzhou Guard would at least be guilty of negligence.
Wang Xu came to the Fuzhou Health Center because of Jiang Tianchen's position. Instead of stabbing him without any care and offending his colleagues, it would be better to turn a blind eye and betray everyone.
"Currently, our Fuzhou Guards are leaderless, just like the Qin Dynasty losing its deer, and the whole world is chasing it away. I wonder what you two adults mean?" Wang Xu can turn a blind eye, but there is a prerequisite. Concealing information cannot be used.
In order to capitalize on the enemy, he would rather bring this matter to the forefront and give his competitors a heads-up first.
"What Mr. Wang means is" The two Qianhu people present were able to sit in this position, and they were both people with clear minds. They quickly understood the meaning of Wang Xu's words.
I don't have to fight this hornet's nest, but it can't be without its benefits. We are good friends if we reciprocate.
"What I mean is not important, what is important is what you mean." Wang Xu said vaguely. It's like playing cards. Whoever shows his cards first will be at a disadvantage.
"I only have the perfect cultivation level of a grandmaster. It's no problem to be a member of a thousand households, but it's absolutely impossible to take the next step." Feng Zhong was the first to speak. His lack of strength meant that he would not be able to take the position of governor.
You must know that if you want to be a governor, firstly, someone above you must support you, and secondly, you must have sufficient cultivation, at least as high as a great master.
Otherwise, even if I lift you up, you will fall down and die. If you want to wear a crown, you will be punished. This saying is not false.
"There's no one above me."
Qian Qianhu's answer was simpler. There are thirty-six states in the world and thirty-six governors. How can one sit on the throne if there is no one to support him?
If you are not strong enough, you may fall to death if you force yourself to sit on it. If there is no one to support you, you may simply not be able to get up.
Wang Xu nodded slightly. Whether what the two said was true or false, we will find out if we go back and check.
To others, the Jinyi Guardhouse is heavily guarded, but Wang Xu is able to use insect robots to plant spies in an uninhabited area.
In this world without surveillance cameras and lack of technological common sense, he really didn't believe that someone could secretly communicate with others under his nose without knowing it.
When the time comes, you will know whether the two of them are unwilling to be lonely, just by looking at their actions. A fox always shows its tail sometimes.
"Both of us have no intention of holding the position of governor. If Mr. Wang does, he must be careful about these two people."
"oh?"
Wang Xu raised his head slightly and asked, "Who is it?"
"First, General Xiahou. General Xiahou comes from the Xiahou family of Jinyiwei. His strength has reached the level of a great master. Although he went into retreat half a year ago and failed to break through to the innate level, he is not far behind. He has a fierce reputation and likes to kill everyone.
Absolutely, there have been internal rumors before that if Mr. Jiang is no longer here one day, he should be one of the most promising people to take over."
The innateness in Feng Zhong's mouth is the broken level in Wang Xu's eyes, but it's called by a different name.
Wang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "What is General Xiahou doing?"
"I've been in seclusion all this time. I'm counting the days and I'll be out soon." Feng Zhong said cautiously, but Wang Xu didn't care.
He held a good card in his hand. When Xiahou was about to return home with his family, he was intercepted and killed by his enemies on the way, and the whole family was wiped out.
General Xiahou didn't know if he could survive, so he put his one-year-old son in a wooden basin and floated away with the water, and then he turned around and fought against his enemies.
And this child is Yan Shi who was adopted by Yan Chixia. With this trump card, General Xiahou will have no choice but to give in if he wants to cut off the relationship with the Xiahou family.
"Where's the other one?" Wang Xu was more interested in the other person than General Xiahou.
Feng Zhong was silent for a while and whispered: "The other one is Zuo Qianhu, Zuo Quan. His strength is also a great master, and I heard that Zuo Quan is a confidant of Master Meng, the commander of Jin Yiwei."
"Zuo Qianhu!" Wang Xu narrowed his eyes. By coincidence, he also knew a Qianhu named Zuo.
