Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 858 Tracking
What kind of moths are being dealt with by the four thousand-year-old families, the court is completely unclear. It's not that the court didn't send spies, but those spies couldn't find anything at all, or they disappeared inexplicably. So now, apart from knowing After roughly how many troops there are, there is no other news.

Of course, this is not a good thing. Needless to say, the importance of intelligence, let alone intelligence now, even who the opponent is and what kind of details are not clear, so why fight?
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere of the imperial court is becoming more and more dignified. Although the people in Shangjing haven't felt anything yet, some officials can obviously feel the faint anger of Emperor Zhao Wuji, but Zhao Wuji is also very helpless, he There is no other way, even he has changed a lot, if his temper used to be the same, he would have been furious already, let's not talk about anything else, let's cut a few people and talk about it!

In the midst of this tense situation where a war could break out at any time, the Fifth Prince Zhao Yan and the Seventh Prince Zhao Zhen suddenly came to Beijing!

The reason why these two princes came to Beijing was because they truly submitted to the imperial court and fought against the four thousand-year-old families together.

The news was a bit sudden, but not too sudden. Of course, there were ministers in the court who knew about it. After all, the two princes had already submitted a memorial. Mr. Lu knew about it, and Su Bai and others also knew about it, but what Su Bai didn't expect was , the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince really came to Beijing like this.

Commonly speaking, the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince are not small, and it is not so easy to surrender. After all, even if they surrender, the throne may not belong to them, so it is better to give it a go!

Now that they are surrendering to the imperial court, they are obviously aware of the strength of the four thousand-year-old families. At the same time, they probably don't want to let the world change hands. After all, their princes compete for the throne. When the four thousand-year-old families get the throne, that is the real change of ownership.

Of course, on the bright side, the four thousand-year-old families support the Eleventh Prince. Even if they really ascended to the throne, the surname in this world is still Zhao, but Zhao Wuji and the others all know that the Eleventh Prince is just a puppet. When it comes to abolition, I'm afraid it's just a matter of a word from the four thousand-year-old families.

Of course, this is also because they don't know the real purpose of the four thousand-year-old families competing for the throne. The four thousand-year-old families have never valued the throne. After that, will the eleventh prince still be able to secure the throne?In this way, the surname is still Zhao in this world.

It's a pity that Zhao Wou-ki and the others don't know about this matter, and the four thousand-year-old families will not make it clear, or even if they make it clear, it doesn't make any sense. Could it be clear that Zhao Wou-ki will hand over the throne to Eleven Prince?This is obviously impossible!

Of course, Su Bai felt that the reason why the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince surrendered to the court so easily was that Zhao Wuji also promised some benefits, otherwise the two would not submit so easily.

His guess was indeed correct. On the second day after the two princes entered Beijing, Zhao Wuji issued an edict, canonizing the fifth prince, Zhao Yan, as Qianwang, enfeoffing the three northeastern states, and canonizing the seventh prince, Zhao Zhen, as Zhenwang. The feudal lands of Suzhou, Huizhou, and Zhejiang.

As soon as this edict came out, the world was shocked, and he was named king!This has not happened for many years. Some people who are more familiar with the early history of the Wu Dynasty know that only when the Wu Dynasty was just established, there was such a situation as the king, and there was no king after that. Thinking that the Wu Dynasty has gone through more than 400 years, and today it is crowned king again!

The reason why I was shocked was because this time the king was obviously not a prince, but a vassal king. The so-called vassal king was the real emperor of the land, and he could have his own laws on his own territory!Have your own army!The prince is just a noble title, the difference between the two is too far, and the most important point is that the vassal king can be hereditary!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that making the two princes kings is obviously a way for Zhao Wuji to win over his two sons, and it is a condition for the two princes to submit to the court. Then there is no prince?Because this is not conducive to the emperor's rule of the world, the emperor alone has the final say in the whole world, and those vassal kings' fiefdoms are simply cancers!

Then why Zhao Wuji was forced to become the king, obviously because the war in the west was unfavorable, and he was worried that the four thousand-year-old families would really destroy the Wu Dynasty, so now he can only unite all forces to fight against the four thousand-year-old families, even if he is not the king. This is the only way to benefit the rule. As for the future, we can only talk about it later.

The ceremony of conferring the king was very simple. Although the heaven was sacrificed, it was still too far away from when the crown prince was conferred. On the contrary, Zhao Wuji, Zhao Yan and Zhao Zhen seemed to be kind and filial, not as they were when they turned against each other. Su Bai secretly shook his head, he understood that the characters in the royal family are all good actors!This face changed so fast!

Maybe the fifth prince Zhao Yan didn't know about Su Bai's going to Beijing, so Su Bai was very quiet in Lu Mansion. On the second day after being crowned king, the two princes drove towards Shanzhou with their troops.

Such a move made the people in the world excited, everyone could see that Zhao Wou-ki was going to have a showdown, to put down the rebellion in the world!
Some people who think they have seen the situation clearly feel that the eleventh prince and the family behind the empress Shangguan really don’t know the heights of heaven and earth. First, the second prince was named prince, and then the fifth and seventh princes returned to the court. Now the eleventh prince It is obvious that there is no way to support it alone. Under such circumstances, the other party is still stubbornly resisting, it is simply ignorant!

At the same time, it seems that there is a crisis of chaos in the world. If the princes really take action, it will be a pain for the people of the world. It will definitely be a war!As a result, it seems that because of the eleventh prince's relationship, the chaotic situation in the world seems to have disappeared, and the crisis of fighting for the throne has been resolved just like that!
But these people are somewhat short-sighted after all, they never thought about it, Zhao Wuji put all the pressure on him to unite the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, what is the reason for this?This is obviously afraid of the four thousand-year-old family!
It's a pity that the world doesn't even know the existence of the four thousand-year-old families. From their point of view, there is only one eleventh prince and the Shangguan family behind the empress Shangguan. They don't even know that the Shangguan family has existed for thousands of years!Under such circumstances, of course, there will be a wrong estimate of the strength of both parties.

Just when many people thought that with the fifth and seventh princes leading the army to Shanzhou, the eleventh prince would definitely be panicked and would even surrender soon. As a result, it was not until nearly a month later that the two The prince arrived outside Chang'an City, but there was still no movement from the Eleventh Prince's side, as if he was determined to rebel.

Different from the relaxation of the world, in the palace, Zao Wou-ki became more and more irritable. After such a long time, there is still very little news about the four thousand-year-old families. What kind of strength and strength does the other party have? He still doesn't know the hole card, and the opponent is still like a fan!How can we fight this battle?
Also, there was no movement from the other party until the second prince returned to Chang'an City. Up to now, it seems that it will take two months. There is no movement at all from the four thousand-year-old families. What the hell are they doing?The more the four thousand-year-old families were like this, the worse Zhao Wuji's mood became.

These days, the weather is getting warmer, and it will soon enter the early summer. Su Bai and others have been waiting for the opportunity to leave, but unfortunately, this opportunity has never appeared. After all, there is no movement from the four thousand-year-old families, not even Chang'an City. After attacking, where is the opportunity?

Counting it, it has been more than a month since Su Bai came to Shangjing. There is no change in Shangjing. It is no different from before. After all, ordinary people really don’t know the truth of the war. Maybe they will only notice the war when the soldiers approach the city. Come, this made Su Bai sigh, this is a tragedy!

In the past month or so, Zao Wou-ki has only been to Lu's residence once, and he still came at night, and still chatted with Mr. Lu, which is no different from before. Of course, this time Su Bai and the other three were not present, it was Mr. Lu. I told them afterwards.

Zhao Wou-ki didn't mention the matter of getting old man Lu to contribute, as if nothing happened in the palace that afternoon, but what made Su Bai and others depressed and puzzled was that Zhao Wou-ki had no intention of letting old man Lu leave at all. .

Every time Mr. Lu tentatively expressed his intentions, saying that he wanted to sue his old age and return home, Zhao Wou-ki would change the subject, without any intention of talking about it at all. Walk!And after this time, Zao Wou-ki never came to the Lu Mansion again, counting now, it has been more than 20 days since he came to the Lu Mansion for the last time!

What exactly was Zhao Wuji thinking?Why didn't he let Mr. Lu leave Shangjing?Su Bai couldn't figure it out, let alone he couldn't figure it out, Xiaosan Xiaowu, and Mr. Lu himself couldn't figure it out.

It's just that Su Bai and the others really couldn't figure it out, and whether Mr. Lu really didn't know anything, Su Bai didn't know.

Su Bai is a bit bored these days. The three and five go to the headquarters of the "Jiugongmen" every day. Since they want to inquire about news, they can't just go and have a look every time. They always have to do something, so now they are instead After doing what they did before, they became head arresters again. Of course, the cases they took on this time were only in the vicinity of Shangjing, and the farthest was no more than a hundred miles away. After all, they couldn't tell when they would leave here. up.

With nothing to do, Su Bai also thought that he might as well go to the "Nine Palaces Gate" to have a look, after all, he is also a headhunter!

Thinking of this, Su Bai went out, heading all the way to the headquarters of "Jiugongmen", but he had just left Lu's residence not long ago, even after walking a street, he felt someone following him behind him.

Su Bai's face changed. With his current perception ability, he would definitely not be mistaken, and the other party is still a master, at least a master in tracking. If the level of martial arts is not innate, maybe he will not find it at all!
Who is following him?The first thing Su Bai thought of was the person sent by Zao Wou-ki. After all, Zhao Wou-ki never let Mr. Lu leave and didn't say anything, there must be a conspiracy!It even occurred to Su Bai that every time Xiaosan and Xiaowu leave the house, they might be under the surveillance of others!If it wasn't for his interest this time, he would go out to take a look, and he might not be able to find out that they are being watched!

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Su Bai's back. He thought that if he hadn't found out that he and others were being watched, and when they thought the time had come to leave Shangjing, they were caught off guard by Zao Wou-ki, then...

Su Bai's expression was solemn, and he kept thinking about what to do, but at this moment, he suddenly found that the person who had followed him for two streets suddenly stopped following him. Su Bai raised his brows, did the other party find out Expose yourself?Not right!He didn't even turn his head, and it was only two streets away, and he didn't lead the other party around. How did the other party know that he was discovered?

Although Su Bai was puzzled, he didn't hesitate to act, and immediately turned around and chased after the opponent. Of course, he didn't look at the opponent, and even followed within the range of his perception that was about to reach the limit, for fear of being missed by the opponent.

Now Su Bai has changed from being followed to being followed directly, and then he followed that person through several streets, Su Bai glanced at it from the corner of his eye, only to find that he had arrived at the most prosperous area in Shangjing, which immediately made him cringe Brow, there are many people here, although he can always sense the other party, but in case something happens, he is very likely to lose the other party, should he get closer?But what if the other party notices it?
As soon as Su Bai gritted his teeth, he felt that even if he was noticed, it would be a big deal to attack directly, and he must not lose the opponent. Thinking of this, he immediately quickened his pace.

Just when he was more than 20 meters away from the man, the man suddenly turned around and rushed into the nearby shop.

Su Bai raised his brows, chased after him, and found that it was an inn, he didn't think much about it, and followed in directly.

There were not many people in this inn. After all, it was still in the morning. Su Bai glanced over. Although he knew that the person was in the lobby, if he looked directly at him, it would be too easy to be exposed.

But when Su Bai glanced over the counter, he was stunned. The one at the counter was naturally the shopkeeper, but this shopkeeper was really too young, with red lips and white teeth, and delicate features, so one could tell at a glance that this was a woman disguised as a man , Even a man's clothes can't stop the other party's beautiful appearance, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Su Bai knows the other party, this is Dongfang Qing!
