Chapter 467 The general of the palace, the wild dog in the streets
Dongzhou, Tianyu Blessed Land, Great Chu Dynasty, Dongyuan Realm, the first mansion.
King Cang is now on the run and has disappeared without a trace. However, Prince Cang's palace has gone through a bloodbath and an accountability process afterwards. Most of the direct descendants of Prince Cang have been killed.
It is unknown how many of them are innocent, how many of them are implicated, and how many of them are framed.
Most of the original Cang Prince's Mansion has been preserved, but half of it was still destroyed during the fighting, and the formation was almost destroyed and is being rebuilt.
Zhao Wu, the commander-in-chief of the three banners of Dongyuan Realm, did not sit in the preserved Cangwang Mansion building, but rebuilt a place among the ruins.
Anyone who is interested can see that the position where Zhao Wu is sitting is exactly the throne of King Cang.
King Cang was sitting on it when he was attacked and killed by Song Cheng, the director of Zhenyuan Sect.
He took King Cang's place.
At this moment, Zhao Wu was covered in armor, murderous and majestic.
He is already a great monk of Zhenxuan, with a momentum like a mountain, stronger and more majestic than before.
In front of him at this moment was a young general, kneeling on one knee.
"How is the deployment going?" Zhao Wu asked aloud.
"Great Commander, most of the arrangements for the Taiyuan Sect have been completed. Before noon tomorrow, all the arrangements assigned by the Imperial Master of the Bachelor's Mansion will be completed. We are just waiting for the leader of the Zhenyuan Sect, Ren, to send us an excuse to start the war."
The general responded.
"Is there any movement from the Taiyuan Sect?" Zhao Wu asked again.
"There is no movement for the moment, but among the You Banner Army, there are a few captains who are acting suspiciously." The general responded with a solemn expression.
"Can we capture him?" Zhao Wudao said.
"It hasn't been captured yet," the young general said.
"Very good." Zhao Wu said aloud: "Since I haven't taken action yet, let's hold it down for the time being and don't alarm the enemy."
"Yes." The young general raised his head and said: "In addition, there are people in the Central Banner Army trying to explore the emperor's deployment."
"How many people?" Zhao Wu frowned.
"Seven of them resisted during the capture. Three of them were killed on the spot. Among the remaining four, one committed suicide. Now three of them are under strict guard and are being interrogated separately." The young general responded.
"I urge you to ask as soon as possible."
Zhao Wu said this, paused again, and then said: "Where is the news about Zhuang Ming?"
Some people, after becoming successful, may look down on past grudges or even laugh them off.
But there are also some people who, after reaching a higher status and gaining greater power, will double down on their past grievances.
Zhao Wu belongs to the latter category.
Moreover, the grudge between Zhuang Ming and him is not a trivial matter that can be laughed off.
Zhuang Ming ruined his only son and almost ruined his path to promotion in the army.
If the Imperial Master of the Bachelor's Palace had not found him, he would be at the lowest point in his life now.
However, today's Zhuang Ming is no longer the younger Jin Dan master in the past.
He is a disciple of Jusheng Mountain. Although Jusheng Mountain is no longer what it used to be, after Jusheng Mountain killed the Zhenxuan monks of various sects, his status cannot be underestimated.
And the most important thing is that Zhuang Ming has also stepped into the realm of Zhenxuan, and it is said that he has gone a long way in the level of Zhenxuan.
This is a formidable enemy that cannot be ignored.
If he is still down and out, Zhuang Ming may not remember him.
But now he is a great monk in the Zhenxuan realm and the commander-in-chief of the three banners in the Dongyuan realm.
I'm afraid he is no longer a nobody in Zhuang Ming's eyes.
He really wanted to take this opportunity to kill this person before Zhuang Ming could react, but he was afraid of Zhuang Ming's identity and couldn't do it easily. It was also the time when he was attacking Taiyuan Sect, so he really had no time to clone himself.
"Zhuang Ming appeared in Taiyuan Sect last time and then disappeared. However, when he left Taiyuan Sect, there was an unidentified Zhenxuan monk who tried to intercept him, but it seemed that he had failed." The young general said.
: "Some outsiders speculate that it may be the Supreme Elder of Taiyuan Sect who couldn't stand Zhuang Ming's display of power and secretly assassinated him."
"It's impossible." Zhao Wu waved his hand and said: "Jushengshan has always been unreasonable. Even if Taiyuan Sect secretly intercepts and kills, Jushengshan will not give up. People in their lineage are all lunatics. It's not that they can't get it."
The evidence will be lost."
"Yes." The young general responded without saying much.
"There is no other news from Zhuang Ming these days?" Zhao Wu asked.
"There is no news." The young general said: "Some people suspect that he may have died quietly, but according to our eyes in Dongyuan Realm, Zhuang Ming has not fallen. However, there is one more thing."
"What's going on?" Zhao Wu said.
"There is some movement at Zhuang's Trading Company," the young general said.
"Oh?" Zhao Wu's eyes narrowed. Since the Taiyuan Sect incident, he has known that Zhuang Ming is the owner of Zhuang's Trading Company. However, he has not paid too much attention to ordinary trading companies and only thinks about dealing with the Taiyuan Sect.
After that, destroying the business house would be considered a small revenge.
"The specific movement has not yet been found out." The young general said: "But from this calculation, Zhuang Ming may be within the range of the trading companies in the seventh, eighth, and ninth mansions."
"Well, there is no need to investigate too hard." Zhao Wu waved his hand and said: "Since we are sure that he is not in Taiyuan Sect, then forget it."
"Commander, what is this?" The young commander was a little confused.
"If he is in the Taiyuan Sect..." Zhao Wu's eyes turned cold and he said in a cold voice: "He will be treated as a disciple of the Taiyuan Sect and massacred together. Who will be able to tell the difference clearly in a big battle?"
"..."
The young general fell silent immediately.
If this is the case, Zhuang Ming's death in Taiyuan Sect can be passed on to Taiyuan Sect, but most of the time it will not be possible.
But so what?
During the battle against Xianzong, there were accidental injuries. It is reasonable that the Chu Dynasty would not take him, the commander of the Three Banners Army, to give an explanation to Jusheng Mountain for this matter.
Zhao Wu cannot afford to offend Jushengshan.
But the Chu Dynasty can afford it.
Even if the outside world knew that Zhuang Ming was killed by the Chu army, it was not just Zhao Wu's fault.
Da Chu's face and Da Chu's military might will be Zhao Wu's talisman. Even if they want to take revenge on the Holy Mountain, they can't do anything to get him.
"You go down first."
"yes."
The young general stood up, performed military salutes, and left.
He looked back with a strange look on his face and headed towards the military camp stationed in the east of the city.
However, as he was walking down the street, he flicked his finger slightly.
A ray of light fell on the street corner.
Immediately, a wild dog picked up the light.
——
It is located in the east of the city, between remote courtyards.
One person restrained his breath, put his hands behind his back, and waited for something quietly.
Until a wild dog ran past the alley.
"I opened up the spiritual wisdom for this wild dog and taught a lot of things, but I didn't pass down the cultivation method to prevent this wild dog from becoming a spirit or a demon. Therefore, it is difficult to detect the clues. It is really impossible to guard against it."
Zhuang Ming opened the door, stretched out his hand, and took the light that was left in the alley in his hand. He thought to himself: "I don't know whether this kind of 'eyeliner' was planted by Taiyuan Sect in Dongyuan Realm, or by Cang Ming."
What did the king arrange under his own nose?"
With this thought in mind, he turned on the light, and there was only a piece of news in it.
At midnight tonight, Zhao Wu's personal soldiers entered the You Banner Army to capture the spies.
