Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 474 In the end, the ass decides the head

In order to cover up his ruined face, Fan Yao wore half a mask on his face. No one else could tell what his face was like.

But Fan Yao looked at Zhao Min, and saw Zhao Min nodding.Only then did Fan Yao let go of the official appearance of his prime minister.

Fan Yao also returned to his former chivalrous demeanor. He said to Zhang Wuji: "Master, there is no way to do this. You are our leader internally, but you are the lord of ten thousand chariots externally. From now on, everything must be done properly. You can no longer be as casual as you used to be when you were in the rivers and lakes."

"And not only you, but also those of us who are subordinates. Right now, everyone is the leader's courtiers, and some of them are also appointed officials. Naturally, we have to put on some official manners. If we do not behave properly, then how can we restrain the people under us. This is the experience we must go through when we transform from a Jianghu sect to a real court. After all, everyone still has to be distinguished from those Jianghu people who behave in a 'vulgar' manner."

Zhang Wuji waved his hands after hearing the words and said, "Okay, okay, let's not mention these things for now. Let's talk about the business first. Fan Youshi, I have something I want to ask you."

Fan Yao cupped his hands and said, "If the leader has any questions, feel free to ask your subordinates. Your subordinates will definitely know everything without saying anything."

After hearing Fan Yao's words, Zhang Wuji felt a little helpless.

There was a famous saying in his day, "the ass decides the head".

Zhang Wuji didn't believe it before, but now that he actually sat in this position, he believed it.

He himself has not yet been blinded by the imperial power, "obsessed with profit" and "cruel and bloodthirsty".But his subordinates have all begun to put on "official airs".I even started to forget my roots a little bit.I forgot that I was the "vulgar" "jianghu person" in their mouths before.

Others won't mention it much, and it works as it goes up.Even Fan Yao, who has enjoyed wealth and honor in the Ruyang Palace for many years, has become like this.Not to mention others.

Now my "Juyi Hall" has been changed to "Loyalty Hall".The rules naturally changed accordingly.

It seems that it is not people who change the environment, but the environment changes people.Where to sit and what to say.I'm afraid that the group of people under him will follow the old path of those "official lords" sooner or later.

But right now the world is uncertain, these things are not things that Zhang Wuji is eager to worry about.

Zhang Wuji asked: "Fan Youshi, is there any news from the Central Plains recently?"

Fan Yao replied at this time: "Please forgive me, my lord. I have been busy with the affairs of the Western Regions recently. Moreover, the roads from the Western Regions to all parts of the Central Plains have been closed. There has been no letter from Prime Minister Zuo for more than three months."

"What!" Hearing the news, Zhang Wuji stood up abruptly.

Zhao Min also realized the seriousness of the problem at this time. She asked, "Master, what is going on? Prime Minister Yang didn't contact you, and didn't you send people to contact them?"

Now that Zhang Wuji has not given Zhao Min a title, Fan Yao paused for a moment, and then addressed Zhao Min by his usual title: "Report to the princess. Since we broke off contact, my subordinates have tried everything possible to restore contact with the Central Plains. Just before the leader returned, I have sent several batches of messengers, but so far I have not brought back any news."

Zhou Zhiruo asked at this time: "Prime Minister Fan, what happened to the road to Zhongtu that you just said was blocked?"

Fan Yao looked at Zhang Wuji, who nodded.

Then Fan Yao explained: "It's like this. Zhongtu is far away from the main altar. In fact, it's normal that there is no letter in a month or two. There is no need to be suspicious. But this time, Prime Minister Zuo has not yet received a letter after the time limit for daily reporting. So I sent someone to investigate."

"Before, I sent people to investigate our intelligence station along the way. The officials at the station said that the Mongols suddenly increased their troops at the Dunhuang Yumen Pass to guard against us, and the people who came were all Han troops."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhang Wuji murmured.

Fan Yao replied: "Yes. There should be news from my subordinates who want to come to Zhongtu, but because the passes along the way are guarded and interrogated by these Yuan soldiers, they will not come back."

Zhou Zhiruo asked at this time: "Wait, although these Yuan soldiers are very strict in interrogation, but with the martial arts of our Jianghu people, it must not be difficult to break through the front line quietly. Aren't our Mingjiao masters like clouds? Don't we have any news at all?"

Fan Yao still explained: "Return to Madam. It is true that the masters of the Ming Cult are like clouds, but most of the masters of the Ming Cult are in the Central Plains. Before that, some of the elites of the Ming Cult were recruited by the Eagle King and turned into the guards of the imperial city. So now my subordinates are all ordinary warriors. Besides, even if they are all there, it may be difficult to send the news under such a strict blockade."

Fan Yao clasped his hands to the sky and continued: "After all, the master's miraculous skills are unrivaled in the world. The wives are also first-class in the world." Fan Yao gently put down his hands, "How many people are there who can be called first-class in martial arts in this world? Such masters are all prominent people in high positions whether in the Jianghu or the court. I'm afraid these people will not condescend to be a small messenger."

Zhang Wuji asked: "So, we have lost contact with the Central Plains? Fan Youshi doesn't know what is going on in the Central Plains now?"

Fan Yao nodded and said, "Master Shengming, but the subordinates have already sent people to investigate, and I believe it will be restored in a short time."

Zhao Min frowned at this time and said: "Not good! It seems that something happened in the Central Plains. If it weren't for this, the army would not be transferred to seal the front line of Dunhuang."

Zhou Zhiruo asked anxiously at this time: "Then what should we do now?"

Zhao Min replied: "We have already lost the initiative, and now we can only break the situation with force. Brother Wuji first returns to the Central Plains to stabilize the overall situation. As long as sister Zhu's identity is not exposed, Brother Wuji arrives in time to turn the tide. Then as long as the position of the co-lord of the world is still stable, and the princes in the Central Plains are not chaotic, my father and king will not be able to cause any big storms."

"I'm afraid that my father and king spread the news that Brother Wuji is not in the Central Plains, or even 'dead'. Then he exposed the identity of Sister Zhu. Without the restraint of the co-lord of the world, the Central Plains will become a mess. At that time, the princes from all over the country may accuse Liu Futong of killing the king and refuse to save him. Or they will fight each other on their own."

Zhou Zhiruo murmured, "If that's the case, it's really a disaster."

But Zhang Wuji said calmly after hearing this: "Although this is very tricky, without my restraint, I am afraid that the tigers and wolves of the Central Plains will tear the Mongolian Yuan court apart." Zhang Wuji threatened King Ruyang with these things before, and King Ruyang also agreed with this point of view.

Zhao Min shook his head at this time and said: "Brother Wuji, you are wrong. If you really died, maybe that would be the case. But if you didn't die, you would fall directly into my father's trap."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo became more confused the more she listened, she asked: "Minmin, what is your reasoning, what kind of fake death, real death? Could it be that brother Wuji's real death is better than fake death?"

Fan Yao also interrupted at this time: "Yes, princess, it is a disrespectful act to slander the Holy Majesty."
