On the surface, Li Kuan does not seem to be the mastermind behind sending the zombie clan to assassinate them.
What should the mastermind behind this kind of thing look like? Lin Tengyun is a typical example.
With a smile on his face, his heart is full of laughter.
I say polite words, but in my heart I want to stab you to death with two knives.
According to what Hong Dingshan said, Li Kuan actually had some scheming intentions, and normally his emotions would not be so obvious.
What happened in the previous dynasty is already obvious. There should be many reasons why Li Yuangong spared Li Kuan's life.
Maybe there was suspicion of setting up a memorial arch, or maybe it was because of guilt.
In the early stage, he assisted the prince and used the prince's reputation to attract influence. Finally, he killed the prince and seized the throne that originally belonged to him.
Perhaps because of unbearable guilt, he did not kill off all the prince's lineage, but left one Li Kuan.
But Li Yuangong's ruthlessness is well known to everyone. Even if he had a trace of guilt that would make him spare Li Kuan's life, if Li Kuan was ignorant, he, the King of Xiling, would probably be punished.
Li Kuan didn't look suspicious, but Gu Cheng wouldn't let down his guard so easily.
He smiled and said: "Master Li, I don't know. In fact, we should have arrived long ago, but there were some troubles on the way."
"Trouble? Mr. Gu, what trouble are you in?"
Gu Cheng waved his hand, and Kou Andu immediately led his men to drag in large sacks. When he opened them, he found that they contained more than a hundred heads from the corpse-fucking tribe!
The expressions of everyone present suddenly changed, and the unique scarlet eyes of the zombie clan were still very conspicuous.
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Everyone, you should be familiar with the Corpse Clan, right? General Hong and I were assassinated by hundreds of Corpse Cao Clan just after we arrived here. Although Western Xinjiang is chaotic, it will not be so chaotic that these hundreds of corpses will be killed.
Is it to the point where the corpse clan enters the interior and assassinates court officials at will?"
When he said these words, Gu Cheng also stared closely at the expressions of everyone present, but besides being shocked, he didn't seem to notice anything.
Li Yuanqing's expression changed, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely investigate this matter strictly. No matter who brings in the zombie clan members, I will investigate to the end!"
He is the governor of central Western Xinjiang. If something like this happens, he must bear the first responsibility.
After asking people to collect all the heads, Li Yuanqing invited everyone to the banquet.
However, Li Kuan snorted coldly: "Daqian sent you, Master Gu, as the supervisor to solve the problem, not to let you come to Xijiang to eat and drink."
Gu Cheng smiled half-heartedly and said, "Your Majesty seems to have a lot of objections to Gu? It seems like this is the first time I've met you, Your Majesty, right?"
Your Majesty and I don't have any hatred for taking away my wife or killing my son, so what do you mean by targeting me like this?"
As soon as these words came out, both Hong Dingshan and Li Kuan looked a little unhappy.
However, Hong Dingshan glared at Li Kuan, while Li Kuan glared at Gu Cheng with murderous eyes.
Originally, Hong Dingshan was still a little wary of Li Kuan. After all, Li Kuan was the prince of Daqian, and he still wanted to pursue an official career, so he had to endure it if he was cheated.
But now he no longer had an official career due to the issue of siding with him, and it was considered good to be able to retain the position of general, so at this time he glared at Li Kuan without any scruples.
And Li Kuan could only glare at Gu Cheng. After all, Governor Hong's matter could not be brought to light.
At this time, Li Yuanqing hurriedly acted as a peacemaker and intervened between the two people to persuade: "What are Master Gu and the prince doing? Let's talk about anything. We are all doing this for the sake of prosperity, right?"
You shouldn’t delay eating while doing things, how about we eat while talking?”
After hearing what Li Yuanqing said, Li Kuan could only give up with a cold snort.
Jingyesi in Yunzhong City also looks like a traditional Jingyesi, a dark building, but the inside is extremely gorgeous, with gold and jade, all kinds of gorgeous decorations, even some of them don't look like Jingyesi, they just look like
Royal Palace.
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and Li Yuanqing saw this and said quickly: "Actually, this was not done by the next person, but accumulated by successive generations of governors.
The land of Western Xinjiang is rich in various gold, silver and jade mines. These yellow and white things are extremely valuable in the Central Plains, but in fact they are not in short supply in Western Xinjiang."
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Master Li, I didn't say anything."
Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice, and immediately led Gu Cheng and others into the inner hall for the banquet.
The banquet was extremely sumptuous, full of characteristics of the Western Territory, and there were even some dishes that Gu Cheng had never heard of.
After drinking and eating, Gu Cheng said: "Master Li, now it's time to talk about what happened to Governor Ye Wuzhao? How did he suddenly disappear?
You should be the one reporting to the imperial court for help, right? And what is the situation in Western Xinjiang now?"
Li Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said: "I was indeed the one who reported to the court for help. In fact, I am not sure whether the Governor is missing. The matter actually started more than a year ago.
At that time, the Grand Governor had just arrived in Western Xinjiang to quell the rebellion. In fact, I was also surprised because I did not ask the Grand Governor for help, but only reported the situation in Western Xinjiang. With the capabilities of our Jingyesi and the military in Western Xinjiang at that time
It can be completely suppressed.
Even if we need help, it would be enough for a commander to bring some elites from other headquarters, but the Grand Governor himself would be overkill."
Gu Cheng, who Li Yuanqing was talking about, knew why.
At that time, Li Yuangong was preparing to refine the elixir of immortality. He was worried about the positions of Ye Wuzhao and Fan Sihai, so he sent one of them to the North and the other to the Western Xinjiang.
Li Yuanqing continued: "With the intervention of the Grand Governor, the rebellion was actually quickly resolved. Later, the Grand Governor stayed in Western Xinjiang just to see if there were any problems with the defense of Western Xinjiang. But who knew that at this time, there would be
Due to some accidents, a cult has resurrected in Western Xinjiang.
The cult in this land of Western Frontier can be traced back to five hundred years ago, when I, Dagan, had not yet unified the world.
At that time, an evil god was born in the land of Western Xinjiang. The locals called him Hodir Yiqi, which means the god in charge of death and eternity. His followers also called him the eternal true god.
The teachings of the Eternal God are very strange. He actually believes that death is the only eternity. Only by sacrificing your own ultimate death can you obtain the favor of God between life and death.
Cults appear frequently in Western Xinjiang. The things worshiped by some small tribes are actually ghosts and evil gods, so they are not idiots. Although this extreme teaching is widely spread in Western Xinjiang, no one really believes in it. Who would
Why would you stupidly rush to commit suicide to sacrifice to some true god?
But five hundred years ago, some people who couldn't think of anything did do this.
A guy skinned himself and bled himself, using his own blood as a sacrifice to the eternal true God, until he drained himself of the blood and finally gained the favor of God between life and death.
From then on, he had countless blood and could transform into a sea of blood and flood a city. This guy founded the Blood Spirit Cult and proclaimed himself the Holy Son of Blood Spirit.
There was also a lunatic who killed his entire family, and ended up lying on the corpses of all his family members. He inserted the hand bones of his closest relatives into his chest and committed suicide. He also obtained the favor of the gods and could evolve into a thousand hands, each with their own magical powers.
That lunatic claimed to be the Son of the Thousand-Hand God and founded the Thousand-Hand Holy Church, which was even more powerful than the Blood Spirit Sect.
The Eternal True God did not directly establish a sect, but through his descendants, there are probably more than a dozen sects established, causing trouble in the entire Western Xinjiang.
But for some unknown reason, these sects disappeared suddenly five hundred years ago, and even some who slipped through the net were unable to use the magical powers and secrets within the sects again.
They had done many evil things in the past, and they were all liquidated after losing their magical powers and secrets. The lineage of the Eternal True God rose up quickly, but was destroyed even faster. Within a few years, they were completely wiped out in Western Xinjiang.
Later, some people also imitated the crazy sacrificial methods of the Blood Spirit Son and the Thousand-Hand God Son, but in the end, it had no effect except killing themselves, and gradually no one mentioned this kind of thing."
Gu Cheng rubbed his head, and he suddenly felt that the lineage of the Eternal True God was somewhat similar to the Ghost Luo Sect.
They all appeared suddenly and then quickly disappeared, and they were also able to transcend the training stage and give their followers extremely strong power.
Li Yuanqing was not aware of Gu Cheng's thoughts, and continued: "Just when the Grand Governor was about to leave Western Xinjiang, evil cults such as the Blood Spirit Sect and the Thousand Hands Temple, which had disappeared five hundred years ago, unexpectedly made a comeback.
The land of Xijiang created great momentum.
The Grand Governor noticed that there was a problem and personally took action to suppress it. While suppressing the momentum of this cult, the Grand Governor also took people to the depths of Western Xinjiang to investigate why this cult suddenly appeared. He also told us not to destroy all these cults in one go.
It must be eradicated, otherwise it will be difficult to find the source by alerting the enemy.
The governor was full of confidence when he left, as if he could solve these problems easily.
As a result, there has been no news even after more than a month of trying, and all the secret methods of contacting Jingyesi were unable to contact the Grand Governor. I really had no choice, so I asked for help from the capital."
Gu Cheng touched his chin and said, "Have you ever investigated the whereabouts of Governor Ye Wuzhao?"
Li Yuanqing shook his head and said: "No, it's not that I don't want to investigate, but I don't dare to make any changes.
The Grand Governor has warned us before to strictly guard the defense line of Yunzhong City. Although the Grand Governor has lost contact now, we are not sure whether something really happened to the Grand Governor or he is busy with something else. So how can we dare to disobey the Grand Governor's order?
Moreover, the evil cults that had been suppressed by the Grand Governor during this period actually began to emerge again. We did not dare to divide our troops and go to the outskirts of Western Xinjiang, so we asked the imperial court for help.
Fortunately, now that Mr. Gu is here, I am relieved."
Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "The Governor took many people with him when he left?"
Li Yuanqing nodded and said: "One of the commanders, the 'Blue Blood Flying Dragon' Lin Changyuan, also went with him, as well as hundreds of elites from the Jingyesi Division in the capital."
"Tell me the last place the Governor went before he disappeared."
At this time, Li Yuanqing turned his attention to those Jianghu sects and said: "The person who led the way at that time was Sect Master Liu of the Fire Sword Sect. If you have any doubts, Mr. Gu, just ask him directly. Sect Master Liu will follow me
The relationship between Yasushi and Yasu is very good."
