Shendou Continent

Chapter 207
In the [-]th year of the holy calendar, the fifth year of Xinfeng in Ouyue, on the first day of November, the Funing Hall of the Ouyue Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Luwang party in the army has been cleaned up." At this time, in Emperor Xinfeng's bedroom, the eunuch named Long Yunbo was standing aside and said to him.

This Long Yunbo is the person used by Emperor Xinfeng to balance the power of Xiao Zhou in the palace. Although his favorability and trust towards Xiao Zhou have been greatly improved after the last assassination in the palace, it is not as good as this loyal guard after all. Eunuch Long, therefore, many private conversations were with Eunuch Long, and Long Yunbo would also be ordered to do some secret errands.

"Well, you did a good job! But I heard from Xiao Zhou that Lu Ding of the Yulin Army once followed Lu Sheng, and he is probably a member of King Lu's party. How is your investigation going?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is true! Not long ago, this Lu Ding went to the Duke Huguo's Mansion! He entered the mansion through the small gate of the Duke Huguo's Mansion at the end of Youshi, and left the mansion at the beginning of Choushi, and stayed for three hours. During this time , Lu Wangfu's Chief Shi is also in the Huguogongfu's mansion, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence at this point in time. He thinks he's unaware, but in fact his whereabouts have been closely monitored by us!"

"Hmph! Commander of the Habayashi Army, a traitor has appeared in such an important position!" Emperor Xinfeng said angrily, with an angry face.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. This Lu Ding doesn't know what's good or bad, so just accept him! It's just that his cultivation is at the Profound Realm, we have to prepare properly, otherwise we may cause an uproar."

"Come here!" Emperor Xinfeng shouted to the outside of the hall.

"The slave is here!" A eunuch leader who was waiting outside the hall hurried into the hall upon hearing the sound.

"Immediately deliver the decree, and the commander of the Xuan Yulin Army will meet Dai Chun!" Emperor Xinfeng issued an order.

"The slave leads the order!" The eunuch bowed in response.

The eunuch retreated after receiving the order, and Emperor Xinfeng continued to talk to Eunuch Long: "In the southwest, Fang Mu was ordered to go to Guangchu to negotiate a peace last month, and it is almost the same now. If it weren't for the other party's toad wanting to eat swan meat If you want us to cede Wan County, it's time to negotiate a peace."

"The terrain in Wan County is dangerous, and it's an important point for military strategists. Naturally, we can't agree to those barbarians. It's a good idea to solve it with money. Your Majesty knows that!" Long Yunbo echoed.

"How can the ancestral territory be easily shared? If it weren't for the fact that Lu Wang's party has become bigger and made me sleepless, I would never have peace talks with the barbarians in Guangchu!" What's more, although this barbarian's economy is not as good as Ou Yue's, his combat power is slightly stronger.

"Guangchu and Ouyue have always been at odds. This time they took advantage of our internal public troubles to loot. Now that the civil uprising in Chuzhou has been calmed down, Guangchu will not get any benefits if they continue to fight, so they also have the idea of ​​​​withdrawing their troops. They just sent troops in a high-profile manner. Returning in vain, some rode tigers to the south. So the old slave thought that by giving them a little benefit, they would let them go downhill, so that we could free up our hands and deal with the serious internal problems first."

"Well, the cabinet presided over the matter, and it is almost time to discuss. By the end of the month, it is estimated that Guangchu will retreat. The northern army has also been in place. It won't be long before I can settle things with this emperor brother It's an old account of the year!" Emperor Xinfeng's sullen face showed no trace of family affection.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Funing Hall, and the palace pavilion with red walls and yellow tiles was reflected in patches of strange red...

Soon after, Xiao Zhou guessed Emperor Xinfeng's intentions through his henchmen in Funing Hall, and soon secretly sent someone to the Duke Huguo's mansion to deliver a letter.Knowing the situation, Lu Sheng notified Lu Ding to escape on behalf of Chun, and then conspired with Xiao Zhou through his confidants.

Soon, Emperor Xinfeng learned of Lu Ding's disappearance for no reason. He believed that he had escaped from the rebel army, and suspected that he was related to the assassination of the palace. He ordered the internal guards to investigate strictly, and issued a sea arrest document to offer rewards throughout Ouyue. .

A few days later, the Protector sent someone to secretly invite Lu Ding to meet him at the Fengbo Pavilion on the outskirts of Hangzhou.But Lu Ding went to the Fengbo Pavilion and never came out again.Before he died, he met the superior who had supported him, the venerable Lord Protector, the Saint Seiya Lu Sheng.Lu Sheng said that he wanted to borrow something from him, and he naturally readily agreed.But unexpectedly, what Lu Sheng said was: "Any big plan must be bloody, so let me use your head!"

When he heard Lu Sheng say "borrow your head", he was already subconsciously preparing to resist, but it was too late.The cultivation of Lu Sheng Saint Fighter completely suppressed his soul power at the Profound Realm level. Before he could react, his head had already been cut off by the sword in Lu Sheng's hand.

The next day, another commander of the inner guard asked to see the Holy Majesty on behalf of Lin, saying that he had something important to report.Because Dai Lin was ordered to investigate the assassination case in the palace, he was interviewed.

This Dai Lin is the cousin of Dai Chun, the commander of the Habayashi Army. Dai Chun made a fortune earlier. Lu Sheng, who still had real power at that time, secretly promoted Dai Lin in order to win over Dai Chun.He originally wanted to gain favor with Dai's family, and then win over Dai Chun through Dai Lin, but the old and cunning Dai Chun did not follow Lu Sheng's way, and kept a certain distance from Lu Wang's people.But Lu Sheng didn't embarrass Dai Lin, which made Dai Lin feel guilty towards Lu Sheng, and held a grudge against his elder brother Dai Chun.Later, Dai Chunping stepped up to serve as the commander of the Habayashi Army, and was deeply trusted by Emperor Xinfeng.Although Dai Lin had a mediocre relationship with his elder brother, he took up the post of the commander of the inner guard with some peripheral vision.But Dai Lin was on duty in the palace during the last assassination in the palace, and now Dai Lin is the one who is guilty of the crime.After investigating the case for two months, the murderer was still not found. Emperor Xinfeng had already rejected him, and Dai Lin felt that his future was bleak, so he simply took refuge in Lu Sheng, who was kind to him, and secretly became a member of Lu Wang's party. member.

Seeing Emperor Xinfeng, Dai Lin knelt down to salute, and said to Emperor Xinfeng: "Your Majesty Qizuo, there is a strong man who claimed to eradicate traitors for the country, killed Lu Ding, and presented Lu Ding's head." Immediately, Dai Lin He held up a box with a red paint finish and a square style in his hands.

"Oh?" Hearing what Dai Lin said, a trace of suspicion flashed across Emperor Xinfeng's face, then he looked at Long Yunbo beside him, and then said, "Present!"

The little official in the palace took the box to Emperor Xinfeng, but was stopped by Long Yunbo a foot in front of Emperor Xinfeng.Long Yunbo looked at Emperor Xinfeng, who immediately said, "Open!"

As the box was opened, a human head suddenly appeared. Emperor Xinfeng glanced at it and motioned for Long Yunbo to check it.Eunuch Long looked carefully and said, "Your Majesty, there is no doubt that Lu Ding's head is the one."

"Where is the strong man you mentioned? What is his identity?" Emperor Xinfeng said to Dai Lin.

"According to my investigation, this person was originally a wandering casual cultivator with profound cultivation and wanted to take refuge in my lord. It is said that he still has a map of the sealed treasure of the Guangchu Qintai Sect back then and wanted to present it to my lord face to face. "

"The treasure of the Qintai seal?" Emperor Xinfeng was a little puzzled when he heard this, and looked at Long Yunbo beside him.

"Your Majesty, this is the rare treasure collected by Xie An, the first ancestor of the Guangchu Qintai Sect, during the chaos in the central region 500 years ago. It is said that this treasure was sealed somewhere in the mainland by him. For hundreds of years, Guangchu The royal family always wanted to keep it for themselves, but they couldn't find it until they destroyed the Qintai Sect."

"Oh? So this sealed treasure is priceless?"

"Of course, but it is said that no one has actually seen it except for the suzerain of the Qintai in the past."

"Since that's the case, I really want to meet this profound master."

Unexpectedly, after killing a traitor, there would be unexpected gains. Emperor Xinfeng was very happy.At this moment, he didn't realize that this was just a well-designed bureau.
