Chapter 689
Yang Jian may be the strangest, most radical and most adventurous emperor in the history of the Jingwu Dynasty.
Even with internal and external troubles, Yang Jian still firmly believes that the country has the ability and luck to survive. All the seemingly bumpy obstacles are just the scenery on the last peaceful road of the country. He has confidence in himself, his son, and his trust in the ministers he relies on.
The death of King Gan made the last rift in the emperor's psychology close, and he would no longer have more emotions about the loss of his son later.
However, if you have the ability to kill each other, you must have the ability to escape pursuit. He will not acquiesce to this kind of killing act like the emperors of previous dynasties, even if this killing is actually created and promoted by him.
Is it a contradiction? Somehow, but this is the way Yang Jian used to balance the relationship between his identities as emperor and his father. At least he felt much better when he did this.
The emperor felt so good, but the people below felt very uncomfortable.
Yang Shu gradually understood his father's intentions under the analysis of his adviser. He couldn't tell what he felt. It was very strange. The death of Gan Wang had nothing to do with him. He was not worried that Xuan Qingwei would chase him, but he could not guarantee whether he would have the same evil thoughts in the future.
Yang Shu sighed and said that this "big test" was much more difficult than he had expected in advance.
"Let's strengthen your defense. You're all careful about this matter. If you have such a plan in the future, you must consider Xuan Qingwei. You must never let Xuan Qingwei go. They only recognize the emperor, not the prince."
The rest of the people quickly bowed and said.
"Is there anything else?" Yang Shu had a banquet at noon, which was held by Xie Youlin, the head of the local yamen in Fengricheng. The same banquet was also attended by local officials of all towns in Fengricheng. It was an informal contact. Generally, this kind of occasion is Yang Shu's favorite. Some things are hard to say on the table, but there is not much care at the banquet.
"Prince, there is something else." The person who spoke was Yang Shu's planner, and there was a sense of caution in his words.
The other strategists around him also understood and stood up to say goodbye with tactfulness, and closed the door. Then the strategist took out a cover-up magic circle and opened it, blocking the sound in the study room without any news.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Prince, "Dao" has replied to the message."
Yang Shu put down the teacup he had just picked up, turned his head and said, "What do you mean? It came a little slow."
"The news was helped by Tianyi Business under the command of "Dao". They have been engaged in freight transportation in Wudicheng City for many years. Most of the "eating, drinking and use" in Wudicheng City are guaranteed by them, so the news has always been very well-informed. This time, I used it a little longer, mainly because the matters related to Jiudicheng City are really difficult to deal with."
Yang Shu didn't say anything and signaled his plan to continue.
"According to the news of the Tianyi Business Name, they did not get the real name of Jiuming Zhenren, Jiuming, this is the number given to him by the master of Jiuming Zhenren. This number was used externally since he appeared in Wude City. In addition, this person's whereabouts were very mysterious, and his cultivation was not high or even low at the beginning. He could survive in Wude City with all his protection. Later, his cultivation level rose rapidly and entered Xuanhai Realm thirty years ago."
Yang Shu interrupted, "What Blood Clothing Door?"
"When I go back to the prince, the Bloody Clothes Sect is one of the three major forces in the Wudian City. It controls the entrance of 30% of the underground palace. There are many cultivators and masters under my command. It is said that there are no less than ten people in the Xuanhai Realm. Moreover, the Bloody Clothes Sect acts erratic and fiercely, and there are many things that can destroy people if you disagree. There is a secret name for "The Poison Wolf of the Wudian City".
"So, there is someone behind Jiuming?"
"Well, yes, the prince, there must be someone who protects him behind the real person Jiuming. It may be a senior executive of the Blood Clothing Sect, or there may be someone else. However, these things are too hidden, and those people from Tianyi cannot find it."
Yang Shu didn't really want to go into it, and waved his hand and said, "Then you keep talking."
"It's the prince. There are nine disciples under the sect of Jiuming Zhenren. There are four other than the five brothers of the Liu family who came this time. They have little reputation in the Wudi City, and their cultivation is in the middle of the journey. But they act very strangely."
"Strange? For example?"
"Some people under Jiuming Sect regularly buy a large number of children from slave traders in Wudicheng City. There is no limit on men and women. They are all under thirteen or fourteen years old. They say that the younger the better. So there are some rumors in Wudicheng City that Jiudicheng is practicing evil skills."
The word "evil" stabbed Yang Shu, frowned and asked, "Are you saying that the Jiuming Sect is likely to be an evil cultivator?"
The master nodded: "Prince, these are all speculations about the Jiuming Zhenren lineage in the Wude City. After all, it is impossible to use normal practice for children, right? Besides, the Jiuming Zhenren's cultivation diligence is not normal, so it is difficult not to doubt their identity. However, the Jiuming Zhenren's lineage has never admitted that it is an evil cultivator."
In fact, when the leader said these news, the facts were no longer so important. As long as he was suspected of being an evil monk, it would be enough to make Yang Shuxin be careful.
"So, Liu Cheng and the others are useless?"
"Yes, the prince, what does my subordinates think. You can use the line from Yueying Building to ask them to find people from the Wude City and replace them. Of course, you can also find someone to replace them from the casual cultivator while keeping Liu Cheng and the others to see what tricks they are going to play."
"Yueyinglou? Humph, it seems that they are not reliable this time. What do you think is the intention of Yueyinglou introducing a group of unknown people? Or do they have any plans to collude with Jiuming?"
"I didn't understand Yueyinglou's plan, but one thing is certain, that is, Yueyinglou should know some of the details of Jiuming Zhenren, and introducing Liu Cheng and others to you must have done it deliberately. Otherwise, there would be many people with the cultivation level of Liu Cheng and the five people in Wudicheng City, and there are many who are not related to evil cultivators, so there is no need to dig a hole for themselves."
Yang Shu nodded in agreement with his opinion of his plan. In a word, Yueying Tower, which was helped by him, now has a different mindset.
"Hmph, I can shield them from the wind and rain when they are in danger, and I can also send them into the abyss when their tall buildings are at their peak. Let's see what tricks they are going to play.
Those guests who went to find the second brother, whether they were strategists or monks, wanted them all, and followed the situation and defeated the so-called Nine Life True Man."
The planner should have said, "It's easy to dig up people, but now the remaining forces of King Qian have been robbed so much. Shouldn't we also go and take part in it?"
