If it were a peaceful time, Song Zheng would only have to walk out of the Baotaowei Yamen and tell everyone sternly: If you dare to mess around again, everyone will be disqualified from the provincial examination in this life! He can silence the casual cultivators and leave with their tails between their legs.
Others will follow suit and leave.
But now, seeing that troubled times are approaching and dynasties may change, this method will no longer work.
Song Zheng's threats will only make the situation worse.
But Song Zheng never showed up, which made the martial arts cultivators, especially the casual cultivators, even more angry. When it was almost dawn, thousands of martial cultivators had already surrounded Baotao Wei Yamen. There were people everywhere on the ground and in the air.
It's a monk, like a plague of locusts, covering Baotao Wei.
They yelled, cursed and questioned, asking Song Zheng to come forward and give everyone an explanation.
The Leopard Tao Guards are standing ready, and if anyone dares to step beyond the threshold, they will be killed on the spot.
In the yamen, Li Sanyan knelt in front of Song Zheng: "Sir, you know that I was wronged."
Song Zheng looked out the window. In the mid-air of more than a hundred feet, several stray cultivators were flying around, cursing irritably toward the yamen. He nodded: "A large number of martial cultivators have poured into Huzhou City. They are already very sensitive.
The martial arts cultivators had constant conflicts before, which actually revealed chaos, but we were not vigilant."
He turned his head to look at Li Sanyan and said, "Go down and do your work with your heart."
"Yes." Li Sanyan walked away with anxiety.
He felt that this was an innocent disaster, so why did he become the target of attacks by the casual cultivators inexplicably? But Song Zheng knew clearly from outsiders that Li Sanyan had a very good character, so there were too many flaws in his body.
Why didn't those people go to Du Baihu and Zeng Baihu? Why was it Li Sanyan? Li Sanyan was Long Yiwei. He had made a lot of money over the years, but there was something wrong with blatantly doing business. This requires
Conducted in secret.
When he has something to do, he wants to arrange a woman for Shangguan, not because he is charming, but simply because this guy is like this...
Song Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. But the situation outside was critical, and he also looked worried.
…
The Underworld Prison in Huzhou City is not far from Baotaowei Yamen, and there is an alley between the two.
When the city of Huzhou was in chaos, Hell Prison was attacked and some prisoners escaped.
In a secluded corner, a rare spiritual light flashed across the high wall of Hades, and a small door was revealed on the originally seamless high wall, which was pushed open from the inside.
Gou Chen Qianying walked out of it with everyone in the Gou Chen family. Accompanying him was the prison warden of the underworld, the Baotao Guard.
When Gou Chen Dongfeng walked out of the prison, he felt like he was in another world. After all, he was young and did not have the ancient wealth of his father.
"Dad, I really didn't expect that we would..." Unexpectedly, when he was about to open his mouth to sigh, he was stopped by Gou Chen Qianying. The head of the family silently signaled to a peak ancestor of the family. The ancestor stepped forward and inspected with his special magical power.
Hooking Chen Dongfeng's whole body, after a moment, the peak ancestor chuckled, raised his hand to catch it, and pulled out a hair-like blue light from the third young master's soul.
There are extremely tiny special runes in it that are constantly flashing, like living creatures twisting unwillingly.
The peak ancestor glanced at Gou Chen Qianying, who smiled slightly and took out a special bamboo tube, put the blue light silk in it, stuffed it with a stopper, and then said with a smile: "Song Zheng suddenly sent you to Hades.
As a father, I have some doubts, and it is true, hahaha, such a small skill is really a master's degree."
Gou Chen Dongfeng then remembered that when he was talking to his father in the cell, his father always avoided some sensitive and confidential topics. It turned out that he had already been prepared.
"My father is indeed meticulous, but my son is far behind." He praised his father sincerely, and then gritted his teeth: "Song Zheng, my son, you are playing tricks on me like this. I will not be a man if you don't take revenge!"
If Song Zheng wants to do something, he must be trying to hook Chen Dongfeng. His cultivation level is low. But the ancestor who follows him does not need to check, because if he wants to trick an ancestor-level monk without being noticed by himself, he has to be suppressed.
The country takes action.
Gou Chen Qianying didn't think His Excellency Zhong Yundai would lower his status to help Song Zheng like this, but he still erred on the side of caution and ordered the peak ancestor to check that ancestor as well. Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with him.
Gou Chen Qianying smiled slightly: "There must be a chance. Let's go, get out of here first."
In the Baotaowei Yamen, Song Zheng had a jade talisman placed in front of him, but it was quiet all the time and nothing could be heard. He frowned, stood up and looked out the window, as if he sensed that the person Gou Chen was approaching.
After walking away, he hesitated and sat back.
…
Gou Chen Qianying looked calm and confident along the way. When he left the city, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back at Huzhou City and felt at ease.
Song Zheng's "temperature changed drastically" before and he suddenly became "brutal and domineering". According to this temperament, if Song Zheng discovers his escape plan, he will not play a long game to catch the big fish, but will immediately kill them all.
, once and for all.
Now that he has escaped, it also proves from the side that Song Zheng was indeed unaware. Tonight, he must have been overwhelmed by the martial arts cultivators of the rural examination and had no extra energy to care about other things.
Gou Chen Qianying smiled slightly and disappeared into the darkness, the big plan was about to unfold.
…
In just two days, the situation in Jiangnan suddenly deteriorated.
Three aristocratic families in Rao County rebelled. They joined forces and raised 3,000 troops to besiege the county government office. They had basically controlled the county town. Du Baihu and his men fled in panic and disappeared without a trace.
Outside Zhenfang City, beasts were raging in the Yunzhong Ruins. Lu Wanmin was unable to stand on his own. He was injured by a spiritual beast and returned to Zhenfang City to recover. Zhenfang City's military officers rebelled, and his soldiers followed and killed the city guards. Zeng Baihu protected him.
Lu Wanmin, who was injured, escaped from Zhenfang City in embarrassment and hid among the mountains and hills.
The chaos in Yunzhongxu also stopped.
The Three Heroes Martial Arts Association in Luohudi started a rebellion, and the Wanli Escort Agency, which was three hundred miles away, responded, with a thousand soldiers in one group, and the momentum became stronger and stronger.
In the ancient anchor boat gang in the upper reaches of the Xiaoshui River, there were three hundred monks who coerced thousands of boatmen and also rebelled. The upper reaches of the Xiaoshui River were in a smoky atmosphere.
For a time, the situation in Jiangnan deteriorated, and Long Yiwei and the imperial court seemed to have completely lost control of the five states.
The elites of the imperial court were fighting fiercely with the ancient Huaxu Kingdom in the north. The local garrison in the south of the Yangtze River was insufficient in number, lacked training, and their combat effectiveness was even inferior to that of the Longyi Guard. On the fourth day after the rebels swarmed in, an armory at the foot of Yundang Mountain in Fuzhou was breached.
, tens of thousands of standard magic weapons fell into the hands of the rebels. Later, a small-scale armory defender in Kunzhou rebelled, and took nine thousand standard flying swords to join a local rebel army.
After obtaining the soldiers, the rebels in various places became more arrogant, and some people even shouted the slogan "Capture the state capital and join forces with Huzhou".
In the city of Huzhou, the rural examination martial cultivators were also undergoing changes in the turmoil: they gradually formed three major forces: the casual cultivators were mainly members of the Jiuzhen Society, which was the largest group. The other two groups were the aristocratic family and the sect.
Door.
The latter two people who came forward were all humble minions, they were just agents promoted by the aristocratic families and sects.
Two thousand monks were always surrounding the Baotao Guard Yamen, and another five hundred people were surrounding the Prefecture Yamen. The remaining nearly two thousand people were missing, and everyone knew what they were secretly planning.
Now these talents are the real controllers of Huzhou City.
Zeng Baihu fled back to Huzhou City in embarrassment with the injured Lu Wanmin, and returned to the Yamen through the secret passage. When he saw Song Zheng, he knelt down and cried and apologized: "Sir, I am incompetent..."
Song Zheng helped him up: "This is not your responsibility, get up."
He asked Lu Wanmin to recover from his injuries, and he, Li Sanyan, and Zeng Baihu discussed countermeasures together.
The jade talisman on his desk was still quiet, and he could not overhear any conversation between Gou Chen Dongfeng and Gou Chen Qianying. Li Sanyan said: "My lord, this plan is probably not going to work.
"
Zeng Baihu said: "Sir, we still have an informant in Gouchen's family."
Song Zheng was reminded by him: "Is it the steward of the outer courtyard, Baigui?"
"Exactly."
Li Sanyan chuckled and said: "When Bai Gui was captured, his subordinates treated him equally and tortured him just like the rest of the Gouchen family. It was a real beating, ripping open the skin and flesh, and roasting the soul."
"He was originally not taken seriously or trusted by the Gou Chen family. After escaping with the others this time, he should be different from before. After all, we share the same hardships."
Song Zheng nodded: "Okay, you contact Baigui and be sure to find out what the plan is to hook Chen Qianying."
"yes."
Baigui's status in Gou Chen's family was indeed different. After Zeng Baihu contacted him, Baigui sent back the first information half a day later: Eye of Dragon Vein!
Song Zheng was not surprised: "The ancient country of Huaxu chose the Gouchen family and Huzhou because they came to our dynasty. This is a battle to destroy the country. The ancient country of Huaxu must plan an overall plan to attack our dynasty from all levels."
Li Sanyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Zhong Zhenguo is here to take charge."
Not only was the Gou Chen family planning the layout, but Song Zheng was also judging the Gou Chen family's purpose and hidden dangers in advance, and had made some preparations. The city of Huzhou was in chaos, but Zhong Zhenguo never showed up, just for fear of being lured away from the mountain.
As a plan, he has been sitting near the Yin and Yang Water Eye of Taiji Lake.
Then Baigui sent back a second piece of information: Huzhou City defenders!
Li San's eyes trembled and he said: "The person sent by my subordinates to contact Captain Zhao Ganyong has not come back. I'm afraid..."
In addition to the Leopard Tao Guards in the hands of Song Zheng, Huzhou City also has four thousand troops. This is the permanent military force of the state capital. It is commanded by Huzhou Captain Zhao Ganyong. It is nominally under the control of Lei Min, but in fact Zhao Qianyong has never bought Lei Min's control.
's account.
Song Zheng paced and thought with his hands behind his back. After a while, he slowly sat down: "Zhao Qianyong is no longer reliable. Gou Chen Qianying may have secretly controlled the entire Huzhou City. He has not taken action. He must be afraid of Senior Zhong."
Under the current situation, Zhong Yundai's attitude is crucial.
No matter how many soldiers Gou Chen Qianying has under his command, in Huzhou City, as long as Zhong Yundai doesn't agree, he can't make a big splash.
