Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters turbulent dynasties
Everything sounded reasonable and reasonable, and the cloaked man could not find any flaws, but after thinking for a long time, he still ordered: "Don't relax, send the order, secretly investigate the internal members of Haoqi Sect and Qingsha Liu, and dig out more from their mouths."
The inside information about the two factions, even if it happened five years ago, must be written down for me and given to me for review!"
"My lord, this..." Uncle Ming felt that it was completely unnecessary. Everything has its own limits. My lord, he was too cautious. If others did not bring him down, he might tire himself to death.
No matter how high one's martial arts skills are, a person's energy is limited, but the master put too much energy on an unnecessary person, which made Uncle Ming very worried.
He was about to dissuade him, but he met the cold and deep gaze of the cloaked man: "What, my orders don't work? Or do I need you to teach me what I do?"
"I don't dare!" Uncle Ming panicked and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake.
Seeing him like this, the cloaked man softened his tone: "Uncle Ming, I know you care about me, but my body knows it. I care about myself more than you do. I know it."
Knowing that it was useless to dissuade him, Uncle Ming secretly sighed and said: "The Lord is the hope of all of us, and everyone is pointing to you. You must not overwork yourself!" After that, he took a few steps back.
, turned around and went to do some business.
"I don't know, but be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship. It's far from the time to relax." Sitting in a spacious dark room with only a weak candlelight beside the wall, the cloaked man whispered to himself.
Uncle Ming was very efficient in his work. Within a few days, he compiled the confessions of many members of the Haoqi Sect and Qingshaliu and handed them over to the cloaked man.
The latter looked at each detail one by one, and in Uncle Ming's eyes, this looked like he was completely bewildered. He couldn't understand at all, why was the Lord so worried about Zhuo Mufeng? He seemed to be worried about his own plan.
It seems like I have no confidence.
After reading all the confessions, the cloaked man leaned his back on the soft cushion, wondering in his heart, was he really worrying too much?
Experience and lessons taught him again and again that there are coincidences in the world, but in his status and status, there is no room for any coincidences! Whenever someone appears around him, they must be clearly understood and verified repeatedly.
His mother had told him since he was little that a little carelessness could have uncontrollable consequences in the future, and he always kept it in mind.
But after reading the confessions of both factions, the cloaked man admitted that he could not find any flaws. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Interrogate Taoist Xuanyi again and ask him to describe Zhuo Mufeng and the situation in the city lord's palace.
Once again.”
Uncle Ming was speechless, what else could he do? He sighed and left as he was told.
That evening, Uncle Ming returned and handed over a newly written summary dossier. The cloaked man immediately took it, looked at it carefully, and quickly pointed to a place: "As mentioned here, the man and woman beside Zhuo Mufeng are...
What status?"
Uncle Ming: "According to the investigation of Zhuo Mufeng, those two people should be a brother and sister named Barong and Fang Xiaodie. According to Taoist Xuanyi, they often appear in Zhuo Mufeng's study. It's him
confidant."
The cloaked man nodded: "I think so. Do you still remember the night when Zhuo Mufeng assassinated the Northern Qi Emperor? According to the news from Elder Xin, Mu Zichen said that a man and a woman stopped Zhuo Mufeng in his place. They should have stopped him.
It’s these two!
They didn't reach the Hexiang Realm, but they were able to escape from Mu Zichen's hands. If I guessed correctly, they should have practiced the Wanhua Demon Art. It seems that Zhuo Mufeng is really generous. I'm not as good as him in this regard."
Putting down the file in his hand, the cloaked man waved his hand: "Take it, there is no need to investigate this matter any further."
Now it was Uncle Ming who was confused and asked: "Could it be that the Lord has found the answer?" However, seeing that the man in the cloak had no intention of saying more, he did not dare to ask more questions, so he took the file and left.
But he didn't know that the cloaked man found out that Barong and Fang Xiaodie had practiced the Ten Thousand Transformation Demon Technique, so it was no coincidence that Master Yu had practiced the Ten Thousand Transformation Demon Technique, and it couldn't have been a temporary practice to deal with him.
In this way, it is reasonable for Protector Feng Yu to flee for his life, and the possibility of Zhuo Mufeng setting up a trap can be ruled out.
After exhaling a long breath, the cloaked man finally relaxed after being tense for many days. A faint feeling of exhaustion came to his heart. He really should take a rest...
As the cloaked man died down, the first round of confrontation between him and Lou Linxuan came to an end. He held Haoqimen and Qingshaliu in his hands, but had no intention of starting them.
The situation was reflected in Lou Linxuan's ears, which made him even more solemn, because he could guess that the man in the cloak must be making complete preparations, or he may be waiting for the opportunity. If he doesn't activate it, it will be a thunder.
In this regard, Lou Linxuan presupposed many situations and made various arrangements for each situation. He wrote down countless pieces of rice paper carefully and carefully put them away.
The situation is temporarily calm, but beneath this calmness, there are whirlpools and undercurrents surging everywhere.
The same temporary calm was the overall situation of the world. Except for the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was still experiencing civil strife, the other four dynasties were all caught in various troubles.
The first is the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although the new emperor Qi Yuanyi successfully succeeded to the throne, he was not a prince from the beginning, and he was still a concubine. It was difficult to convince the public in terms of strength, prestige, and even name.
At first, in order to investigate the death of the Northern Qi Emperor and track down the real culprit, no one in the Northern Qi court dared to interfere. However, as time passed, the real culprit was not caught, and some rumors spread.
For example, the new emperor is incompetent, sitting on his throne but unable to bear his weight or do his job.
Others say that this was done deliberately by the new emperor, who did not catch the real culprit in order to take advantage of this investigation opportunity to eradicate dissidents, cultivate cronies, and pave the way for him to take control of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He was eating the human blood steamed buns of the previous emperor.
What's more, they actually said that the real murderers Zhuo Mufeng and Qi Yuanyi were good friends. They met in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Zhuo Mufeng's murder of the former emperor was probably inseparable from the new emperor. In short, it was very clear and reasonable.
Soon it became known to everyone in Northern Qi.
When the new emperor heard the news, he was furious and ordered the Imperial City Department to conduct secret investigations in major towns in the Northern Qi Dynasty to find those who spread rumors to confuse the public and kill them without mercy!
As a result, when the Imperial City Secretary took action, something went wrong in some link, and it was actually exposed. For a time, the rumor that the new emperor had a guilty conscience and sent his minions to kill innocent people caused a sensation in the entire Northern Qi Dynasty.
In the imperial study room, the new emperor Qi Yuanyi's red eyes overturned many memorials on the table and kicked over the chairs. He was so horrified that the accompanying eunuch did not dare to breathe and almost retracted his head into his neck.
"There must be someone behind the scenes who wants to mess up Northern Qi and divert my attention! No matter what kind of rat you are, I swear, I will find you out and cut you into pieces!" Qi Yuanyi looked up to the sky and roared.
People here in the Northern Qi Dynasty are panicked, and Zhongzhou is not at peace either.
Although the new emperor suppressed the civil strife by plowing the court and clearing holes, in the end he left behind troubles because of his hasty actions.
The slain prince, the second prince and the sixth prince are still alive, and they are afraid that the new emperor will settle accounts later. This group of people are secretly planning to cede territory for self-government and gather people to rebel.
With the new emperor's character and methods, many people suspected that Zhongzhou would also be in civil strife.
Northern Qi and Zhongzhou had no time to take care of themselves, and Southern Wu and Western Chu were not much better.
The emperors of the two dynasties still stay in Feipu Pavilion, of course not of their own free will, but forced to do so due to pressure from Zhongzhou and Northern Qi, which made Southern Wu and Western Chu very angry.
On the other hand, the king has not returned for a long time, the imperial power is vacant, and rumors are gradually starting to spread in Southern Wu and Western Chu.
Some ambitious people began to take action, and the princes were also restless. They were all afraid of being taken advantage of, and did not think about how to get their father back. They were all busy fighting for power. The fight in the court was fierce and fierce.
For this reason, insightful people from Southern Wu and Western Chu asked Zhongzhou and Northern Qi to release their people, but they were strongly rejected by the latter two.
The reason is that the two great emperors died suddenly, and until the truth is thoroughly investigated, everyone in Feipu Pavilion is suspected.
The attitudes of Zhongzhou and Northern Qi were unprecedentedly tough, and they even warned the important ministers of the two dynasties who tried to welcome back the Emperor of Southern Wu and the Emperor of Western Chu. If they dared not cooperate and acted rashly, they would rather break out into a national war and burn them all!
Their reasons were strong enough, and the strength of the two dynasties was obviously stronger than that of Southern Wu and Western Chu. This made the important ministers of the two dynasties disgraced and dared not speak out in anger.
They once wanted to unite with the Eighth Prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but the Eighth Prince was not stupid.
The current situation is favorable to Dong Zhou. Each family has a lot of troubles and is worried, which just distracts their attention. Is he stupid to take the initiative to break the deadlock and wait for everyone to gather their energy and destroy Dong Zhou?
As a result, the top leaders of the five dynasties in the world fought to their death, but for the common people, except for the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, everything was peaceful.
But this peace greatly contributed to the chaos in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The rebels were originally preparing to find another way out, but when they saw that the four major dynasties were unable to take action and had no plans to attack, how could they let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to strengthen themselves?
The leaders of the major rebel armies immediately made their decision and issued orders one after another with rewards and punishments. The rich rewards and severe punishments greatly stimulated the arrogant and powerful generals under their command, and they also ordered their subordinates to write proclamations to boost morale.
Under heavy stimulation, the rebels from top to bottom, with red eyes one by one, launched an offensive ten times more ferocious than before against the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, intending to seize territory as quickly as possible and prepare for the future.
Time is running out, and no one knows when the other four dynasties will free their hands, so the rebels are extremely high-spirited. They are all desperate to move forward.
In a battle between two armies, morale is often extremely important. In comparison, the Eastern Zhou imperial army was far behind.
It was all because the Eighth Prince was trapped in Feipu Town. Although he used his subordinates to advertise to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that he was fine. But without the Eighth Prince in charge, the little emperor was a mascot, and the Eastern Zhou court was also prone to chaos, which greatly affected the frontline troops.
Baggage and grain transportation.
Without stable support from the rear, the blow to the morale of the frontline soldiers can be imagined.
Under this situation, the rebellious armies of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty continued to encroach on the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty at a jaw-dropping speed.
At this time, even the Dongfang Family began to waver. There was evidence that several Jiedu envoys affiliated to the Dongfang Family began to frequently come into contact with the rebels.
