Chapter Nine hundred and forty seventh make the best use of everything and make the best use of people
Fire beads.
Lin Ye sat cross-legged in the big tent, holding in his hand the orb that was given to him by the old monk of Xisheng Temple.
According to the old monk, there are a total of five orbs in this world, which combine the power of the five elements.
The old monk could not explain the origin of these five orbs, but the most acceptable theory is that these five orbs came from the hands of Saint Zhujie.
Lin Ye couldn't make a judgment, because ninety-nine percent of the things in this world that could not be explained were attributed to Saint Jiujie, who called him a god-like figure.
Even teachers in private schools often do this kind of thing.
If a naughty disciple asks the teacher how the truth he teaches comes from, but the teacher really can't explain it, he will just say that it was taught by the sage. No matter how naughty the disciple is, he will not be able to ask any more questions.
Since ancient times, there have been many saints. In addition to Saint Guijie who created a spiritual path, there are also literary saints, etc., but none of them can be compared with Saint Guijie.
The root cause is nothing more than two reasons.
First, after all, if the saint can beat him, so can his disciples and disciples, so no one dares to scold him.
Secondly, other saints all have teachers, but the saint Kuijie does not.
No one can give a firm answer as to whether the Five Elements Orb is something created by the saint.
But after thinking about it, who could have created such a miraculous thing if it weren't for the Saint Jiujie?
Lin Ye, who was sitting cross-legged, was constantly thinking about the cause of General Liu Jigong's death. Lin Ye didn't know whether the general had reached the realm of the gods, but Lin Ye judged that even if he had not reached the realm of the gods, the general was at least a martial artist.
Peak cultivation level in the Yue realm.
For people who have reached this level, ordinary fire cannot even penetrate the skin and flesh.
It seems that after returning to Geling, I have to ask Zong Zheng Shiquan in person.
The people in this world who know the true cause of General Liu Jigong's death may not be in Dayu.
But if Lou Fan really has practitioners who can use the power of the Five Elements, as the emperor, Zong Zhengshiquan has gone south and has arrived at Geling, why not take such a master with him?
Nowadays, there is only the old woman from Haoyuan who is in charge of Fushen Realm in Geling City.
This old woman doesn't go out often, and she doesn't care about the affairs of the court.
So if Zong Zheng Shiquan had a powerful person with the gift of the gods around him at that time, how could Chen Weiwei have captured Zong Zheng Shiquan alive?
wrong......
Thinking of this, Lin Ye suddenly woke up. He ignored someone.
When Wang Luoshen rebelled, he had an accomplice who had been hiding deeply. This person did not take action at the critical moment and chose to stab Wang Luoshen in the back.
Chen Weiwei's strength is probably around Wuyue Realm Wumang, and has not yet reached its peak.
Even if Zong Zheng Shiquan doesn't have a peerless expert in the Fushen Realm around him, is there even someone at the peak of the Wuyue Realm?
The message Mr. Xin sent to Lin Ye said that the group of people Lin Ye met when he went to Yunzhou to see Xiao Jinrong were Zong Zheng Shiquan and his bodyguards, so there was a problem.
Although Lin Ye used an easy way to trick Zong Zheng Shiquan's guard, Chen Weiwei definitely did not have such strength.
The message sent by Mr. Xin also mentioned that Chen Weiwei captured Zong Zhengshiquan and others before going to see Mr. Xin and brought them all with him.
Chen Weiwei was unscathed?
The strength of that guard was at least as strong as Chen Weiwei's. The two of them were fighting for their lives. Even if Chen Weiwei could win, how could he remain unscathed?
Lin Ye guessed that Chen Weiwei had a problem from the moment he got the news, but he didn't think about it deeply at the time. Thinking about it again now, he realized that Chen Weiwei and the mysterious man might be related.
If so, it is even more certain that the mysterious man is indeed in the Fengyu Temple of Shangyang Palace.
So, there is a new problem... Wang Luoshen regarded that guy as an ally and even had high hopes. But that guy did not regard Wang Luoshen as an ally and did not hesitate at all when betraying Wang Luoshen.
nothing.
Chen Weiwei also chose this person as his ally?
What kind of person is this person that both Wang Luoshen and Chen Weiwei can choose to trust?
Why did this person betray Wang Luoshen first, and then choose to help Chen Weiwei arrest Zong Zheng Shiquan and others?
When Lin Ye thought of this, his eyebrows raised.
Loufan people?
Lou Fan secret agent?
If this person could be dug out, it might even be possible to find out the real murderer of General Liu Jigong's death.
Tuoba Lie and others are of course the real culprits, but they are the planners. In the death of General Liu Jigong, there must be another direct murderer.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye felt somewhat uncontrollably anxious.
It seems that we have to hurry up and resolve Liu Tingsheng's matter as soon as possible, and then rush back to Geling as soon as possible to see Zong Zheng Shiquan. We also have to see Chen Weiwei again.
Although Lin Ye didn't like to meet Chen Weiwei, it was still necessary to meet him when it came to that mysterious person.
Lin Ye put away the Fire Bead, stood up and left.
Another advantage of this fire-proofing bead is that it can be carried close to the body. Once a practitioner who can use the five elements of fire appears around, it can immediately sense it.
Carrying this thing is equivalent to carrying an early warning against the five elements of firepower.
When Lin Ye was walking out, a subordinate on duty strode over and reported to Lin Ye that Mr. Ning Weimo Ning, the Prime Minister of the Office, had arrived.
Lin Ye went to greet him outside the camp. When he arrived at the door, Ning Weimo was standing there looking around. He seemed to be in good spirits.
"Why did Master Ning come here in person?"
Lin Ye quickly walked over and cupped his fists in greeting.
Ning Weimo returned the greeting and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worried about the general, so he sent me over to have a look."
As he spoke, he walked up to Lin Ye and said, "What have you done that you don't know about? And you asked me why I'm here."
Of course Lin Ye knew why he came...
Ning Weimo asked: "Is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess okay?"
Lin Ye said: "Well, I'm resting in Qingshan City, I'm not with the army."
Ning Weimo nodded and said: "It's better if you don't follow the army. It's tiring to travel with the army. Although Qingshan City is not as good as Geling, it is still more stable."
Lin Ye accompanied Ning Weimo as he walked into the camp and asked, "What is your Majesty's decree?"
Ning Weimo said: "Your Majesty said that if you see Lin Ye, let him leave the palace."
Lin Ye: "..."
Ning Weimo said: "Your Majesty is very angry, but as a close friend of the general, of course I have to speak for the general. I will say that leading the army now is inseparable from the general. If the general is castrated, Dayu will never have a eunuch to lead him.
The precedent of soldiers, this is not good, what should I do if Your Majesty just asks for it? I say, there is no precedent of eunuchs leading soldiers, then Your Majesty will set this precedent, and the eunuchs should be castrated."
Lin Ye: "Master Ning is really my true friend."
Ning Weimo said: "I am also thinking about the future of the general. If the general can control it, he will have a bright future. If he cannot control it, it is better to cut it off and rule it forever."
Lin Ye: "I am extremely grateful to Mr. Ning for considering me so much. After much deliberation, I can only ask Your Majesty to set a precedent for eunuchs to serve as prime ministers and assistants."
Ning Weimo: "They are indeed close friends."
After entering the camp, Ning Weimo asked carefully about the battle situation.
Lin Ye introduced: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will receive a reply from Liu Tingsheng's general Zhou Wanggeng in the next two days. A few days ago, before I left Qingshan City, Her Royal Highness the Princess personally replied to Zhou Wanggeng.
The letter gave him some guarantees."
Ning Weimo was overjoyed: "If Zhou Wang is more willing to surrender, then Liu Tingsheng will be equivalent to having his arms chopped off."
Lin Ye nodded.
He walked to the map and pointed at it and said: "General Ning Haitang's troops have formed a half-encirclement against Liu Tingsheng over there. My cowardice has formed a half-encirclement over here. The only thing that can save Liu Tingsheng is Zhou Wang's desperate attack.
Help Liu Tingsheng break through."
He returned to his seat and said, "If Zhou Wanggeng still has concerns, Mr. Ning happens to be here, and if I tell him as Mr. Ning's assistant, Zhou Wanggeng will no longer have any worries."
Ning Weimo looked a little unhappy when he heard this. He frowned slightly and asked: "The general thinks that if Zhou Wanggeng is surrendered, how will he be used in the future?"
Lin Ye smiled and asked, "What do you think, Master Ning?"
Ning Weimo said: "The general gave him a chance, but he was hesitant. Her Royal Highness the Princess gave him a chance. If he is still hesitant and needs me to give him another chance, then what's the point of keeping such a person?"
To keep him as the mastermind for the next rebellion?"
Lin Ye couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Of course, people like Zhou Wanggeng would not stay.
He was not so hesitant when he followed Liu Tingsheng in the rebellion. His hesitation now is not that he is wavering between loyalty to the court and loyalty to Liu Tingsheng, but that he is worried that he will not be protected after surrendering.
Ning Weimo said: "If this person's attitude is still ambiguous when he replies to the general in the past few days, I think there is no need for me to write to him again."
Lin Ye nodded: "Okay."
What he said before was just to let Ning Weimo know that if one day he kills an enemy general who surrendered, you would rather not hold me accountable on behalf of the court.
Ning Weimo was unwilling to write to Zhou Wanggeng because Lin Ye would kill such a person sooner or later. Once the court knew that Lin Ye had killed Zhou Wanggeng, some officials would inevitably jump out and scold Lin Ye.
Also, would you rather Weimo scold or not?
Not scolding him, but he was the one who personally wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender. Lin Ye would kill him as soon as he said so.
scold?
That's so inappropriate.
Of course, an old fox like him could tell the meaning from Lin Ye's words. Lin Ye was just taking another precaution to let him know that Zhou Wanggeng would definitely die.
We are all old foxes, no one can hide anything from anyone.
At this moment, a soldier came in and handed Lin Ye a letter with both hands: "General, Zhou Wang sent someone to send a reply."
Lin Ye nodded, took the letter and read it, then smiled and said to Ning Weimo: "It seems that there is really no need for Mr. Ning to write anymore. Zhou Wang even said that he had killed the prisoner Liu Tingsheng sent to him.
military."
Ning Weimo said: "Whether it's a real killing or a fake killing, my attitude is giving."
He looked at Lin Ye and asked: "Is the general going to send troops immediately? I am lucky to be able to catch up with the decisive battle against the rebellion this time."
Lin Ye said: "Why rush to a decisive battle."
He ordered: "Pang Panghai, send the letter to General Feng and ask him to reply to Zhou Wanggeng. Please ask Zhou Wanggeng to go to Liu Tingsheng's army to persuade him to surrender and preach the court's policy of mercy."
Ning Weimo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then sighed: "Nothing about the general's mind is superfluous, and every aspect is bad."
Lin Ye said: "Master Ning's mind is superfluous, and he can't even see how bad I am."
The two old foxes looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
A few days later, Zhou Wang, who received Feng Xiu's reply, hesitated even more, and finally decided to listen to Feng Xiu's arrangement, otherwise, he might not be able to get any good looks from General Lin Ye.
So he took his soldiers to the outside of Liu Tingsheng's camp to persuade him to surrender.
He said that the court was magnanimous, that his majesty was kind, and that the general was a really good man.
When the news reached the camp, Liu Tingsheng was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
Anyway, it was done, so Zhou Wanggeng really tried his best and shouted loudly outside the rebel camp for several days in a row, so that the rebels were panicked and the army was distracted.
Every night, people in the rebel camp escaped. At first it was just a few people, but then more and more people escaped, making it impossible to defend them.
