Wulong Town is under the jurisdiction of Wudang County.

Wudang County is governed by Junzhou.

The governor of Junzhou was named Ma Yi, who inherited the Xiangyang Duke and was a son of the Ma family of Fufeng.

Ma Yi's ancestor was Ma Xiu, Shangzhu Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty. His father, Ma Juncai, was appointed as the General of the Right Wuhou and had a great status in the court.

Ma Juncai does not participate in any court disputes and belongs to a neutral faction.

But he was born into a noble family in Guanlong and was quite noble.

The relationship between the Ma family of Fufeng and the Guanlong nobles was extremely close, which made Ma Juncai not dare to move even if he was neutral.

Ma Yi is thirty years old and is in his prime.

In the first year of Chang'an, Junzhou took office. In just one year, he took over all the military and political power of Junzhou in his hands, and his ability was extraordinary.

Everyone knows that Ma Yi has a bright future.

He was in Junzhou, and to be honest, he was gilded. When his term ended, he would be transferred back to Shendu and had a bright future.

However, at this moment, Ma Yi was sitting upright in the study room of the government office, with a gloomy face.

"You mean, Yang Jun was attacked in Wulong Town, and the person who attacked him was Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain?"

Zhengyidao is in Jiangnan, and has a lot of believers, so it is not a good target for trouble. More importantly, Yang Shouwen also killed Zhang Shilong. Once the news spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar. How can those believers of Zhengyidao give up?

Ma Yi is a very strong person, but in the face of this situation, he feels a little tricky.

After pondering for a moment, he asked in a deep voice: "Wudang County Government, has the news been blocked?"

"The emperor of the palace can rest assured. The magistrate of Zheng County has ordered the mobilization of troops from the Wulong Temple, surrounded the Wulong Post and blocked the news.

However, that Tianshi Zhang's identity is extraordinary after all.

Although the magistrate Zheng blocked the news, he didn't know how to deal with the matter, so he sent someone to the government office for help."

Yes, a small county magistrate cannot bear this matter!

Not to mention that Zhang Shilong is the fifteenth generation of the Zhengyi Dao Tianshi, Ma Yi knew that he also had another identity, and he was a guest minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although Li Xian is now the crown prince, he is still a little weak in the court.

Among the three provinces and six ministries, the majority of people supported the King of Xiang. It was only because Wu Zetian supported Li Xian that he had gained a firm foothold.

That's right, Li Dan was now driven out of the Shendu.

However, in the court, the voice of Wu Zetian asking for Li Dan to be recalled has never stopped in the past year.

Ma Yi was in Junzhou and was far away from the court, but his correspondence with his father Ma Juncai had never stopped, so he was very clear about the form in the court. He even confirmed that Li Dan would definitely be able to return to Luoyang from Bingzhou by the end of the year at the latest.

Even Wu Zetian's powerful person could not change this result.

From this we can see how powerful Li Dan’s power in Luoyang is and how amazing his reputation is...

"Zheng Yuanqi!"

He whispered in a low voice and suddenly laughed.

"It's not that he can't afford it, but he takes this opportunity to make me express my opinion."

Since Wudang County Magistrate Zheng Yuanqi has blocked Wulong Post, it means he also knows the importance of it.

In fact, this matter is not difficult to deal with. Although Yang Shouwen killed Zhang Shilong, he was a court official after all. The serious General Qianniu Guard returned to the capital according to the order. It is not a matter of attack at Wulong Post. As long as he was asked to leave Junzhou, he would post a few days before the news of Zhang Shilong's killing... Can those believers still chase him to Luoyang to take revenge?

But Zheng Yuanqi kept Yang Shouwen.

After blocking the news, he sent someone to report the matter to Ma Yi. How could Ma Yi not guess the mystery?

"It seems that the Zheng family in Xingyang is going to bet again this time."

Ma Yi murmured to himself, waved his hand to signal the messenger to retreat.

"Madam, what do you think about this?"

The messenger left and left behind the screen in the study room.

It was a woman who looked about thirty years old, with a graceful figure. She walked out and looked at Ma Yi and smiled, "The wind is rising, so naturally we have to prepare. The Zheng family in Xingyang failed to make bets several times before. This time, I think they might take the opportunity to turn over. What's more, the Zheng family and the Yang family have a close relationship, so how could they not make a decision?"

"Then do you think they can win this time?"

The woman sat down and took a sip of tea.

"Although the prince is supported by His Majesty, since Duke Di passed away, His Majesty has become increasingly tired and his energy is not as good as before. His control over the court has become increasingly weak. If it were in the past, how could those voices be allowed to be heard in the temple?"

"Then you mean, the prince..."

"Not necessarily!"

Ma Yi looked very respectful to the woman.

This woman is his concubine, her surname is Lin.

It is said that Madam Lin was once a famous dancer in Chang'an, with both sexes and skills, and very smart.

Ma Yi fell in love with her at first sight and spent a lot of money to redeem her, and then took her as a concubine. Ma Yi attached great importance to Madam Lin's opinion. However, after hearing Madam Lin's words at this time, he couldn't help but show a hint of confusion.

"Madam, what does this mean?"

"Your husband actually has plans in mind, so why should I take the exam for the school exam?

The key to the prince's attempt to break the deadlock is Yang Jun. You should be able to see that although Yang Jun has always been in the court, he has a very famous reputation. Before, he was alone, and it may not be considered a climate, but now, he has returned to the Hongnong Yang family and has received full support from Yang family. With this background, his influence will also double.

Ahon also talked about this when he wrote to him last time.

Why did Your Majesty choose Yang Chenglie as the guardian of Beiting among the many court officials?

To be honest, Yang Chenglie is indeed capable, but his qualifications are shallow. He has only been back to the court for a few years and has protected his own side. There is a mystery in it. Guo Yuanzhen and Wei Yuanzhong, who are ordinary people, but they are willing to give way... Also, Tang Xiujing is such a arrogant person, but he has not expressed any opinions on this matter. Isn't this worthy of your husband's thinking?"

Ma Yi nodded slightly, but never spoke.

Madam Lin said in a shocking voice again: "Husband, look at it. In less than five years, the title of Anxi Protectorate will definitely fall into Yang Chenglie's hands. By then, the court will not have any troubles to look at the West, and the situation will definitely become different."

The most headache-inducing thing for Wu Zetian has always been in Anxi and Mobei.

One Tubo and the other one are already a confidant.

But the problem is that Wu Zetian has never had a really suitable candidate to guard the Western Regions for her. Although Wang Xiaojie was a famous general, in Wu Zetian's opinion, he still could not truly trust her.

She believes in Yang Chenglie!

But why did she believe in Yang Chenglie?

Everyone was secretly speculating, but they couldn't get the answer.

"Husband, within three years, there will be any changes in the court.

At that time, it is unlikely to be detached and neutral again. Instead of making choices at that time, it is better to make a decision now.

If Yang Chenglie becomes the Great Protector of Anxi, he will wait for the same prince to hold heavy troops.

At that time, the power of the King of Xiang will definitely fall apart... So, my husband might as well take this opportunity to make friends with Mr. Yang."

Can Yang Shouwen actually cause changes in the court situation?

This sounds a bit ridiculous.

But Ma Yi knew that Madam Lin was definitely not joking with him.

Maybe it's time to make a decision? Last time my father wrote to him and told him to act according to the opportunity, which shows that Ma Juncai also realized this.

Thinking of this, Ma Yi made up his mind.

He looked at Lady Lin and said, "Since that's the case, why don't we go to Wulong Post together and meet that Yang Jun together!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At noon, the sun shines brightly.

The weather was very hot, so Yang Shouwen only wore a half-arm sweatshirt and sat in the living room of the inn, chatting and joking with Wudang County Magistrate Zheng Yuanqi.

Zheng Yuanqi was from the Zheng clan in Xingyang.

If we are in terms of seniority, he would also call Yang Shouwen to call him uncle.

However, looking at Zheng Yuanqi, who is nearly 40 years old, Yang Shouwen is really embarrassed.

So he simply pretended to forget about this, and had tea and joked with Zheng Yuanqi, and talked about the scenery of Xingyang, as if he had forgotten that there was an assassination in Wulong Post last night.

The courtyards in the backyard are also cleaned.

After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, the young lady sat under the porch, dazed.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but her thoughts were very confused.

The battle last night seemed to be beyond her understanding. She is good at assassination, has extraordinary swordsmanship, and is also good at spiritual powers. But...

This happened before my eldest brother returned to Luoyang.

If he goes back...will he face more dangers?

Whenever she thinks of this, the young lady can't help but feel frightened. At the same time, she feels inexplicably powerless... She doesn't know how to deal with the battle last night. If this happens again, will it become a burden?
