Zhuo Mufeng's assassination of the Northern Qi Emperor shocked the world. In addition to the identity of the person killed, it was also because Feipu Pavilion gathered emperors and super masters from all dynasties, and its defense was the best in the world.
After the incident happened, the Emperor of Zhongzhou even mobilized a large army to garrison outside the town. Zhang Jiaquan believed that the streets and alleys in the town must also be filled with informants from various parties. Any disturbance should not be hidden from these people.
But even under such circumstances, the Emperor of Zhongzhou was poisoned to death. Isn't this a joke? It's not even that outrageous!
So after hearing Lao Fang's words, Zhang Jiaquan was even more out of his mind than the last time he heard that Northern Qi was going to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. If he hadn't known Lao Fang very well, he would have suspected that the old man was crazy and talking nonsense.
Lao Fang smacked his mouth, his expression twitched, and after a moment he said: "Sir, how dare I deceive you? Now the outside world is going crazy. It is said that the Zhongzhou court is furious, and the prime minister and various ministers have rushed to the waterfall.
Town. Some military generals even threatened to kill the people from Feipu Pavilion and bury them with the Emperor of Zhongzhou!"
After exhaling and inhaling, doing it back and forth many times, Zhang Jiaquan finally regained his ability to think. He slowly sat back on the chair, his expression still a little dull, and he couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.
What happened to the world? In just over a year, three great emperors died in succession. This is clearly the rhythm of the world being in chaos!
"How did the Emperor of Zhongzhou die?" Zhang Jiaquan's voice trembled slightly and he could not calm down.
Lao Fang: "It is said that he died of poisoning, and the poisoners were probably the two confidant eunuchs around the Emperor of Zhongzhou."
As soon as he said this, Zhang Jiaquan's eyes suddenly became extremely horrified. He suddenly raised his head to look at Lao Fang and blurted out: "The Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was also killed by his trusted eunuch."
A terrible guess suddenly came into his mind. The death of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty was most likely related to the mysterious person who contacted him. Then the Emperor of Zhongzhou...
If this is the case, the truth is too terrifying. Zhang Jiaquan cannot imagine what kind of power can reach out to the emperor and turn his own people into the trusted confidants of the emperor.
This is by no means a simple matter of resource investment. When it comes to government affairs, things like money no longer play a big role, but it proves that at the core level of power in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Zhongzhou, there are chess pieces of that person!
Zhang Jiaquan took a breath and his heart trembled. He didn't want to believe this guess, but an intuition told him that the more terrifying it is, the closer it is to the truth. If he doesn't face it, he will suffer a catastrophe in the future.
If both emperors were killed by a mysterious man, given the other's rank, why would he want to get close to him? Could he be a pawn he was using?
Could he have planted a traitor around him? Thinking that there was something wrong with the two great emperors' confidants, Zhang Jiaquan looked at Lao Fang vaguely with unpredictable eyes.
Lao Fang was shocked by the sight, and was a little confused at first, but after all, he had been with Zhang Jiaquan for decades, and he quickly figured out the reason. He almost wanted to cry without tears, but he had no way to defend himself.
Is verbal justification useful? For a hero like you, if you rush to defend yourself, you may be self-defeating. What's more, how do you know what others are thinking when they don't even speak? Isn't it even more impressive for you to be able to understand your thoughts?
fear?
Lao Fang himself was helpless. He found that a black pot was thrown from the sky, and he could only endure it. He had been working faithfully for decades, but he was suddenly suspected of being suspected. What is this?
But honestly speaking, can he blame the adults? From the other party's point of view, it is normal to be suspicious, and anyone would be suspicious.
The strangeness in his eyes disappeared for a fleeting moment, Zhang Jiaquan returned to his normal gaze, his posture became a little more relaxed from the tightness just now, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Once the Emperor of Zhongzhou dies, chaos in the world is inevitable, but now that I think about it,
It did save us."
Lao Fang quickly agreed. He has been involved in government affairs for many years. His vision and knowledge are very comparable to others, and he can also see through the pros and cons.
Zhang Jiaquan glanced at him: "However, we should not take it lightly. If you continue to order, the soldiers and horses in all states and cities must be on alert, not only to guard against foreign enemies, but also to guard against internal strife! Now that the sword above the head is gone, I am afraid that some people will take the opportunity to hide.
Liheng."
It would be impossible for others to understand, but Lao Fang immediately said: "Your Excellency, you suspect that some military governors within the rebel army will order the army to sneak attack on us in the middle of the journey by using the excuse of dispatching troops to resist the Northern Qi Dynasty? Impossible, right?
Now there are the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Family, how can they kill each other?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jiaquan couldn't help but feel complicated.
After all, he is an old slave who has been with him for decades. The tacit understanding between them is unparalleled by anyone. It is not easy to cultivate such a happy subordinate. I just hope that this old guy will not betray me.
Zhang Jiaquan said: "It is necessary to be on guard against others. It may not necessarily be a sneak attack on us. It may be someone else, but be careful and you will not make a big mistake. In addition, inform Baijiang City that you still cannot slack off. You must guard the main road at all times and do not allow three rivers to be attacked."
The people of the alliance leave!”
Originally, the Emperor of Zhongzhou had not died, and Zhang Jiaquan had prepared to hand over the people of the Sanjiang League to Northern Qi to relieve the pressure on his own side. But now that such a major change has occurred, there is no rush.
Northern Qi's offensive plan had to be postponed, so he could plan it slowly. It would be much more useful to hold the people of the Sanjiang Alliance in his hands than to hand them over.
After Lao Fang went down, Zhang Jiaquan closed his eyes, but thought in his heart that he would have to send someone to secretly monitor Lao Fang. A lesson learned from the past will lead to mistakes in the future. Two bloody examples reminded him not to trust anyone in the world too much...
In a pavilion in the Lord's Mansion of Baijiang City, Yao Wu, Nu Yan Luo and Wuzhi Monk looked at each other, and the masters of the Demon Sect behind them were even more stunned.
The Emperor of Zhongzhou is dead? What on earth are those people in Feipu Pavilion doing?!
I have heard a lot of bizarre things, but this is the first time I have heard of such a bizarre thing. Two dignified emperors died in the same place less than a month apart, and they were both killed.
I’m afraid it’s an age-old anecdote, right? This is the first time in thousands of years!
Everyone in the Demon Sect had a strange feeling of witnessing history, and even the fear that had haunted them for many days seemed to have been diluted a lot.
Yao Wu waved his hand to the people behind him and said calmly: "Let brothers relax and temporarily suspend the retreat plan."
Angry Yama on the side frowned: "Smelly scholar, what do you mean? Do you want to stay here and wait to die?"
Yao Wu: "No, Northern Qi will not attack for the time being. As long as the death of Emperor Zhongzhou is not resolved, we should be safe."
Angry Yama's face was full of confusion, the Wu Zhi Monk grabbed his bald head, and the master of the Demon Sect behind them also couldn't figure out the meaning of this sentence.
In the courtyard on the other side of the City Lord's Mansion, Lou Linxuan had received a letter from Zhuo Mufeng a few days ago, ordering him to evacuate, but he believed that this message should have been sent by his uncle before, before anything happened to the Emperor of Zhongzhou.
Lou Linxuan was not a vegetarian. A large number of soldiers were mobilized outside the city lord's palace in a defensive posture. He knew exactly who they were trying to guard against.
In this case, it was not impossible to force an evacuation, because he had already used Yincun and Haoqimen to secretly control individual mid-level generals in the Baijiang City army.
But this is a bad idea. It cannot guarantee the safety of everyone. There is no need to take this step unless it is a last resort. Anyway, my uncle said, let him act according to the situation.
Nowadays, the situation has undergone a huge change, but we can use one or two...
Shunxing City, one of the inland cities of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, is far away from the border and is only more than half a month away from Fengbei Road.
In an ordinary binary house in the city, Zhuo Mufeng was leaning on a recliner checking information.
Su Zhilan in her arms was wearing a goose-yellow gauze dress, with beautiful eyes and a sparkling beauty. A pair of pink and delicate hands skillfully peeled open a purple grape, and stuffed it into Zhuo Mufeng's mouth with her orchid fingers. She then picked up the porcelain grape from the stool next to her.
Get another one from the plate.
When Zhuo Mufeng put down the information in his hand, Su Zhilan fed him another grape. Seeing that he just closed his eyes and enjoyed it without looking at herself, she said sweetly: "Master, how well did you serve me?"
Zhuo Mufeng hummed softly, fell down on the lounge chair, bathed in the sunshine, and held the most beautiful woman in his arms. He was really happy and happy as a god, comforting him for the rest of his life!
Everyone thought that Zhuo Mufeng, who killed the Northern Qi Emperor, must be like a rat crossing the street, maybe hiding in some nook and corner eating steamed buns. What would they think if they saw this situation?
This period of time was nominally an escape, but in fact once they returned to the mainland of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and with the frequent accidents in the Feipu Pavilion, the enemies no longer cared about Zhuo Mufeng, so this guy and the two girls were just like touring the mountains and rivers.
.
Enjoying Su Zhilan's service, Zhuo Mufeng said: "The Emperor of Zhongzhou is dead."
As soon as she finished speaking, her delicate body paused in her arms. Su Zhilan raised her head, with a look of shock on her pretty crimson face, and said in disbelief: "How could this happen?"
Zhuo Mufeng sighed: "Who knows? More than a year ago, the Emperor of Eastern Zhou Dynasty was killed by his confidant eunuch, and now the Emperor of Zhongzhou met the same fate. What's even worse is that if I hadn't intervened, the Emperor of Northern Qi might have died because of him.
In the hands of the most beloved demon concubine."
Stretching out her hand and beating Zhuo Mufeng's chest, Su Zhilan pretended to be displeased, but then she understood the meaning of Zhuo Mufeng's words and said in shock: "You mean, the Emperor of Zhongzhou might have been killed by that person?"
Zhuo Mufeng was silent, and the heaviness in his heart was even greater than before.
He didn't want to be so suspicious, but judging from the information he had, he had to be so suspicious. The power controlled by the cloaked man was simply unfathomable.
After a long moment of silence, Zhuo Mufeng suddenly said: "Zhilan, you should betray me and be loyal to the cloaked man!"
hiss!
There was a heartbreaking pain in his chest, which made Zhuo Mufeng's face slightly distorted, but when Su Zhilan heard his words, she put her two fingers together and twisted the flesh of his chest hard.
Seeing that she didn't give up, Zhuo Mufeng quickly reached out to stop her and said helplessly: "Why are you so crazy? I didn't ask you to really surrender to the cloaked man and pretend not to understand?"
