Zuo Yi, the calligrapher who was sitting cross-legged in the academy with his eyes closed and meditating, seemed to have sensed something. Suddenly his face lit up and he excitedly murmured to himself: "It's him, it must be him!"
When the people around him heard this, they immediately gathered around and asked endless questions.
"Master Shusheng, what are you talking about?"
"Who crushed your soul jade?"
"Could it be...that great calligrapher who once surpassed you in calligraphy?"
"What calligraphy master should be called Nanlang!"
"Yes, yes, it's Nanlang, the Nanlang in the oracle!"
"I wasn't sure before, but with the abilities he has shown in various fields during this period, he is definitely the Nanlang in the oracle!"
These people who surrounded him were not people from the academy, but people from various forces who had been deployed around Shu Sheng Zuo Yi.
The reason why they always stay by Shusheng's side is to wait for Nanlang to crush Shusheng's soul jade, so that they can know it immediately, and then follow Shusheng to find Nanlang.
Now, since the soul jade of Book Sage Zuo Yi has been crushed, it is enough to prove that Nanlang is summoning Book Sage Zuo Yi.
And as long as they follow him, they will know Nanlang's true identity.
"Cough, cough...I'm so sorry!"
Being stared at by so many fanatical eyes, the calligrapher Zuo Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and said sternly: "Whether that calligrapher is the Nanlang you call him or not, I only know that I have promised him before,
Even if he crushes my soul jade, I can only go there alone!"
After a pause, he added: "That person has told me that he doesn't like to be disturbed by worldly affairs, and I hope you won't make it difficult for me!"
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other.
After a while, they all made guarantees one after another.
"Master Shusheng, we understand your difficulties!"
"Don't worry, we are just happy for you and have no other intentions!"
"Yes, since that mysterious Nanlang crushed your soul jade, you'd better go quickly, we will never follow you secretly!"
Hearing this, the calligrapher Zuo Yi suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Didn’t this damn thing come to you?
But no matter how depressed he was, he didn't want to keep everyone waiting for the calligrapher whom he admired so much, so he had to quickly avoid everyone, and then secretly went to the place where the soul jade was crushed.
Of course, he was afraid that someone would be following him secretly, so he made several deliberate turns along the way, and even kept detecting his senses.
After confirming that no one was following him, he ran straight towards the place where the soul jade was crushed.
…
In addition to Shu Sage Zuo Yi, Chess Sage Qiu Sihai, Qin Sheng Mei Ningqing, Bu Yuanshan, the master of Burying Heaven Valley, and the powerful men from all sides who had been defeated by Nanlang also sensed it immediately.
All of a sudden, big shots from all over the world came from all directions.
Although everyone deliberately avoids others, there is no impermeable wall in the world.
As these big shots rushed towards the same place, the news quickly spread to the ears of the top leaders of all parties.
…
Prince's Mansion!
"Great, really great. Is that Nanlang's mysterious identity finally coming to light?"
Having just heard the news from his subordinates, the eldest prince Nangong Lie flushed with excitement, "As long as we find Nanlang and gain his support, the throne will be in my possession!"
"Your Highness, neither Shusheng Zuo Yi, Qin Shengmei Ningqing, nor anyone else will let our people follow!"
The person who came to report said with a wry smile: "They don't seem to want us to know the news about Nanlang, so they all left secretly!"
"Asshole!"
Nangong Lie yelled: "Won't you send some people with strong tracking and concealment abilities to follow me secretly?"
"this……"
The servant looked troubled.
At this time, a staff member next to him smiled slyly and reported: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already prepared for this!"
"oh?
What preparations?"
Nangong Lie said urgently.
"Of course I have a secret plan!"
The staff member smiled mysteriously and said: "Anyone who has had contact with Nanlang, we not only send people to keep an eye on them on the surface, but also secretly. As long as they go to see Nanlang, no matter how secretive their whereabouts are, we will
Don’t even think of escaping our pursuit!”
"That's good!"
Nangong Lie was overjoyed, "Once you know Nanlang's location, you must report it as soon as possible. I will personally go to see Nanlang's style and invite him to help!"
…
The residence of the third prince Nangong Xiao.
"Hey, no matter how mysterious Nanlang's identity is, will it eventually come to light?"
Nangong Xiao was so excited that he danced with excitement, "Sister, as long as we get this Nanlang's help, the world can be settled!"
"That's what I say, but since we can find Nanlang's whereabouts, it proves that other princes should be able to find it too!"
The eldest princess Nangong Zhenpu frowned and said: "So, we must get there as soon as possible, at least before the other princes find it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Don't worry, eldest sister, as soon as I confirm Nanlang's location, I will rush there as soon as possible, and I will never let other princes take advantage of it!"
Nangong Xiao promised steadfastly.
Immediately, he looked at Wen Tianzong, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion next to him, "Brother-in-law, Nanlang's identity is about to be revealed, you must help me with all your strength!"
"Don't worry, since we are on the same front as you, we will naturally help you with all our strength!"
Wen Tianzong cuts the iron path firmly.
The prime minister on the other side heard this and stroked his beard and said: "Whoever wins Nanlang will win the world. Since Nanlang's identity is about to be revealed, we must make preparations in advance. If we make a slight mistake, all our previous efforts may be wasted!"
Immediately, he said to Nangong Yuan: "Third Prince, don't worry, I will also use all the power of the Prime Minister's Office to help you succeed!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your trust!"
Nangong Xiao hurriedly cupped his hands and thanked him.
…
The fourth prince's residence.
"Father-in-law, do you still think that is a rumor?"
After hearing the report from his servant, the fourth prince Nangong Yuan frowned.
Regarding the poems that had been circulated in the imperial capital and the various public opinions caused by the painting, he only thought them to be rumors.
But after a series of events that shocked the entire imperial capital, he finally became more and more convinced that Nanlang indeed had the ability to change the situation in the entire imperial capital.
However, he was the only one who believed it.
But his father-in-law Long Guangzheng, the general of the General Mansion, always dismissed this.
"Fourth Prince, it's not that I want to attack you on purpose, but it's because there are no gods in this world, so where can any oracles come from?"
General Long Guangzheng said seriously: "This is just a rumor deliberately fabricated by someone. If I guess correctly, the person who created the rumor behind the scenes must be to guide public opinion and achieve the purpose of swaying the battle for the throne!"
"Fourth Prince, as one of the heirs to the throne, if you believe this set of lies that are full of loopholes, you will only step into someone else's trap and be used as a pawn!"
"Father-in-law, are all the miracles Nanlang has created these days also fake?"
Nangongyuan said angrily.
"Even if it is true, Nanlang is only one person after all. As long as you princes involved in the struggle for the throne don't believe it, he will not be able to cause any trouble in this imperial capital where there are so many powerful people!"
Long Guangzheng always insisted on his opinion, "But if you all believe it is true, you will only allow that Nanlang's conspiracy to succeed!"
Seeing that Nangong Yuan was still unwilling to accept his words, he paused and then Long Guangzheng added: "Don't forget, the late emperor is still in retreat!"
