Chapter 859 Big News

This is really an acquaintance, much more familiar than the Great Tsukuni... and much more hateful.

Tang Zhao had lived with this person day and night for more than two years, and at one point they were as close as family members...

But in the end it led to a breakup, no, it should be said that they were betrayed.

He is none other than the eldest senior brother of Zhuoyu Villa back then, and now an important official in the imperial court of Guikou, Shi Chunqing, who is wearing the clothing of the second grade.

Shi Chunqing, I didn't expect to see him again.

Tang Zhao was very angry, a flame rose in his chest, burning his breath, and he wanted to kill Shi Chunqing immediately. He did have this ability, either now or in the future, as long as he flicked his hand during the battle, he could smash the enemy that he could not catch up with at the time to pieces.

However, this was the person that the master had let go.

At that time, when Shi Chunqing led the pirates to return to Zhuoyu Villa during the sword-making competition, Senior Sister Xue and the others had the opportunity to capture him or even execute him, but it was Xue Xianyun's instruction that they stopped chasing him and let him go.

In other words, at least Xue Xianyun meant that he would not meet Shi Chunqing again, and that they would forget each other after they severed their friendship. Xue Xianyun might not be happy if Tang Zhao killed him, and if he was captured and handed over to Xue Xianyun for disposal, Xue Xianyun might not know what to do, and he would have one more worry.

With Tang Zhao's current strength and status, he rarely has any worries or hesitations around him, but the ties from the past are still ties, and the worries from the past are still worries, just like the friendship from the past is still friendship, which he cannot break free of for the time being, nor does he want to break free of.

  Tang Zhao pondered for a moment and thought: Let's see what you are now. If you are clean... or at least have not done anything evil, I will not want your life, but I will strangle your reliance on turtle bandits. Don't you always want to prove that you are not weak in talent? Then use your own strength for the rest of your life to prove that you can be self-reliant. What kind of proof is it to rely on your parents' positions and bloodline?

"It's already this late, what are you guys doing here?"

The Great Tsukuni looked at the person in front of him with great displeasure.

At this time, he had left the main hall and came to a side hall in front with the crown prince to meet the uninvited guest. At this time, the Emperor of Wei was still sitting in the main hall and could not move. Shi Chunqing went into the hall to report. Originally, the Emperor of Wei was not allowed to meet outsiders, but to meet people who really controlled the affairs, such as the Grand Chancellor or the Crown Prince. At this time, everyone came out, including the Crown Prince and the Grand Chancellor, and there was also an extra spectator, Tang Zhao, who was staring at the Grand Chancellor.

Of course, at this moment he did not focus all his attention on Dazhongzai and Shi Chunqing, and half of his attention was on the newcomer.

The newcomer was a swordsman, originally wearing a cloak and a mask, but now he had taken off the mask, revealing his face.

This face looked somewhat familiar to Tang Zhao, but not quite familiar. He certainly couldn't call out this person's name, but that didn't stop him from recognizing that this was an inspector from the Procuratorate of Local Authorities.

What the hell...

  Tang Zhao was already angry, and when he saw this man, he felt even more furious, gritting his teeth. He had thought before, since the turtle bandits set up camp here and chose Yunzhou to fight the first battle, was there a traitor in Yunzhou?

If it really happened, although he would be angry, he could also accept it. There are all kinds of people in the world, and even under the rule of Marquis Gao Yuan, there would be troubles. But... why would it be the Inspectorate of Land?

Wouldn't it be more reasonable for it to come from the Prison Control Division? Or even the Peace and Security Division?

Although it was petty to think so, Tang Zhao was still unhappy. He still believed that he was from the Procuratorate. Although the Procuratorate was not all good people, there couldn't be traitors who crossed the bottom line, right? The Procuratorate was the personal army of the governor of Yunzhou! Even the new governor came from the Procuratorate, what else could the Procuratorate be dissatisfied with? Why would there be traitors?

Tang Zhao became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He thought to himself: It seems that the Land Inspection Office needs to be rectified. I have to remind Chief Criminal and the commanders to clean up the mess and not let anyone stab them. If Tang Zhao's status was not suitable for any official position in Yunzhou, he would have wanted to take charge of the Land Inspection Office and clean up everything. This traitor... and the people behind him, he must root them out.

The inspector had no idea that he was being watched, and said solemnly, "If it wasn't something important, why would I come at this time? This afternoon, Commander Xing... Commander Xing Ji suddenly said that a powerful person who has a close relationship with Yunzhou is coming back, and there will be a funeral and succession ceremony for Marquis Gao Yuan tomorrow. When the Lord heard this, he thought it was a serious matter, and immediately asked me to come out to inform you."

  Tang Zhao was stunned and suddenly thought: This is talking about me, right?

That's right. Xing Ji, like everyone else, couldn't remember Tang Zhao before. But in the afternoon, Tang Zhao met Changle and naturally lifted his disappearing state. Xing Ji naturally remembered everything about Tang Zhao. Of course, Tang Zhao didn't tell Xing Ji that he was going to attend the ceremony, but Xing Ji inferred from common sense that Tang Zhao would come, so it was right to notify others to prepare. After all, Tang Zhao's identity is different now. A sword immortal has come, and everyone in Yunzhou should not neglect him.

The Grand Chancellor frowned, and the Crown Prince said directly: "What important person? There will be many strong people tomorrow, including the imperial envoy from the capital, and it is not surprising that people from other places will come. We have been prepared for a long time, what difference does it make if there is one more or one less? Let alone the top swordsman in the world, even if it is the sword fairy in the sky, we are not afraid."

"He is truly a swordsman."

"Ok?"

The inspector looked serious and said, "What a sword immortal! I wonder if you have heard of the name of Marquis Fu Guang?" "I seem to have an impression..." The prince hesitated.

"It's Tang Zhao. He's a genius from our place. Have you heard of him?"

"boom!"

The Grand Chancellor slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Great, it's Tang Zhao? Tang Zhao is back? Has he truly inherited the Golden Crow Sword?"

The prince did not expect that the Grand Chancellor, who usually kept his emotions to himself, would suddenly get angry. He hurriedly asked, "Grand Chancellor, do you know that he..."

The Grand Chancellor did not sugarcoat it and said through gritted teeth, "Yes, of course I know! He is the little bastard who hindered our grand plan at Wangliang Mountain! At the beginning, he relied on the Golden Crow Sword to force me back. Now, a year has passed. I believe he has inherited the true power of the Golden Crow Sword and become the so-called new Lord of the East. It's very good, very good. He is a lucky man. The threshold that others have to work hard to cross, he crossed it without any obstacles because of the help of his predecessors. Things in this world are so unfair!"

  When he roared like this, the others were just surprised, wondering how the Grand Chancellor could complain like a defeated dog. However, Shi Chunqing was terrified, thinking: Tang Zhao... is this the Tang Zhao I know? He is already a swordsman? How is it possible? How old is he? How many years has he been a swordsman? Even if he has wings, he can't fly so fast! Is there really such an unfair thing in this world?

At this moment, he actually empathized with the Great Tsukuni.

But the Grand Chancellor was not a real loser. He quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Well, he returned home in glory, but he doesn't know that I have surpassed that realm. I am no longer the same as before! How can he compare with me, an opportunist who relies on the gifts of his predecessors? Well, he came at the right time. I was just about to dissolve him and let him go to see the Golden Crow in person. Don't be afraid, I will deal with him. I guarantee that he will come but cannot leave!"

The Grand Chancellor was so excited that the turtle bandits who had always been afraid of him did not dare to speak for a moment. However, the inspector did not have so many scruples and asked, "You deal with Tang Zhao, then who will deal with the others? The others are not weak either. Jun... Marquis Gao Yuan left behind a very powerful force, with swordsmen like clouds and swordsmen like rain. Fu Xianchan has at least been recognized by most of the people in Yunzhou on the surface. Without the Grand Chancellor, the swordsman, in charge, the situation will be..."

The prince said impatiently, "Don't worry about this. We have more than enough power. In fact, there was no need for the Grand Chancellor to take action in person from the beginning. He came here just to be prepared for any eventuality. Now if something happens, the Grand Chancellor will take action to solve the problem, and the rest of the arrangements will remain unchanged. What's wrong with that?"

Hearing the prince's arrogant words, the inspector was very dissatisfied and said, "Where are you..."

"Your Majesty can take action."

The Grand Chancellor suddenly spoke, and the Crown Prince was shocked: "How could Your Majesty do this? He..."

He can't! He doesn't have that ability.

The Grand Chancellor said: "You can switch to the Martial Temple. With the power of the Star Masters of the Martial Temple, you can resist thousands of swordsmen."

"Then Fengying Palace..."

The Grand Chancellor said unconcernedly, "It would be best if Fengying Palace has it. If not, will everyone stop fighting? Of course, if it is for the sake of morale, then we can block the news of Fengying Palace's cancellation first."

The young King Huan standing behind the crown prince couldn't help but want to say: "But then everyone won't be able to preserve their spirits in Fengying Hall after they die in battle?" But before he could open his mouth, the crown prince said: "Well, when the star masters of the Martial Temple are released, everyone's pressure will be reduced, and the casualties will be reduced, so Fengying Hall won't be needed much."

Prince Huan was stunned and thought to himself: As expected, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The Grand Chancellor said, "Please go and greet His Majesty. And this Excellency." He said to the inspector who came to report the news, "Do you have anything else to say? Do you want to go back tonight or stay until tomorrow?"

The inspector said, "Tomorrow all the members of the District Procuratorate will be present. How can I not meet them alone? If I don't come out for breakfast in the morning, I'm afraid the whole city will be put under martial law immediately."

The Grand Chancellor sneered, "Since you are weak, you must be on high alert. If that's the case, you can go back. Thank them for me. King Huan, please send your friend off."

He acted as a subject and ordered a "prince" around at will, but King Huan had no objection as he was used to it.

At that moment, Huan Wangjiu led the inspector out. After leaving the main hall, they were at the cemetery. He escorted them to the edge of the cemetery and said, "Sir, be careful when you go back..."

Suddenly, his eyes blurred and he saw the inspector disappear out of thin air.

All he could see was a dark cemetery, as if a ghost had crawled out and swallowed the man.
