I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 155 Warrior Puppet

Hearing Cao Xiang's words, Zuo Dao remembered the rumors he heard along the way before entering Kyoto.

He hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, there have been all kinds of rumors in Kyoto and even other places recently. These rumors..."

Cao Xiang sighed: "I don't know who did it, and it has not been found out yet."

It seems that here in Kyoto, the Jinyi Guards have long been aware of those rumors, but they have not been able to find out who spread them.

Zuo Dao said: "Why don't you stop it?"

Cao Xiang said: "It can't be stopped. It is said that it is better to guard against the people's mouth than to guard against the river. But how can it be so easy to guard against the people's mouth?"

"Besides, there's nothing wrong with these rumors."

"Today's Wei Dynasty is in a precarious situation. It is still unknown how long it can survive in these troubled times."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao had a heavy expression on his face.

The commander-in-chief Cao Xiang had never shown such emotion in his eyes.

This great Wei Dynasty belongs to their Cao family.

Now he has personally said that the Wei Dynasty is in turmoil and will fall without knowing when, which shows the melancholy in his heart.

Cao Xiang glanced at Zuo Dao and said, "Okay, during this period, you can go to Beizhen Fusi's place, visit from time to time, and help maintain order in Kyoto."

"As for the rest, don't worry about it. If you can't help but don't go to the palace, you'd better not go there as much as possible. As long as your majesty doesn't issue a decree and the ancestor doesn't send the eunuch to look for it, don't go."

"When you come back this time, both your merits and resume are sufficient. The official uniforms and tokens for commanding the generals, as well as the corresponding documents, have already been prepared."

"When you enter Beizhen Fusi, someone will hand it over to you."

"Originally, based on your merits, if you stayed outside with Princess Taiping for a longer period of time, I could make an exception and promote you to the rank of Commander-in-Chief."

"It's a pity that you came back too early."

When Zuo Dao heard this, he immediately handed over his hands and said: "I am very satisfied with being able to command the general affairs. I don't dare to ask for more."

Speaking of which, this commander is a fourth-rank official.

It took him less than two years to rise from a deputy qianhu of the fifth rank to a commanding officer of the fourth rank.

This kind of promotion speed is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

If he is really promoted to a third-level command fellow, it will not only be a great achievement.

Even if he improvises and worships the commander-in-chief as his adoptive father, he will still be targeted.

Seeing this, Cao Xiang waved his hand slightly and asked Zuo Dao to leave.

Wait until Zuo Dao leaves.

Cao Xiang stood by the window, looking in the direction of the palace not far away, his eyes full of worry.

……

After Zuo Dao returned, he did not go directly to Beizhen Fusi, but returned home to have a good rest.

In the evening, during dinner.

Lao Gui rarely spoke much, but frowned as he looked in the direction of the palace.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao asked: "Senior, why are you looking like this? Are there dragon ball fragments in the palace?"

He remembered that Old Turtle left the Dragon Lord's secret realm this time in order to find the Dragon Ball fragments and to awaken the Dragon Lord.

But for some reason, Long Jun tied the two of them together.

Now Lao Gui cannot leave Zuodao too far, so he can only follow the latter to Kyoto.

Hearing Zuo Dao speak, Lao Gui couldn't help but sneered and said, "What are you thinking about? How can there be dragon ball fragments in this damn place."

"I'm just watching. Wei's luck is like a colander."

"Leaking endlessly, and then being swallowed bit by bit by the monster."

"But the monster you mentioned, I sensed it before. It is indeed a centipede spirit. It has Buddha nature in it."

"I'm afraid it's just as I expected before. This guy wants to use the luck of the Wei Dynasty to become a protector of the heavenly dragon."

Hearing Lao Gui speak, Zuo Dao couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

It seemed that the centipede spirit had a bigger plot than he thought.

Zuo Dao rolled his eyes and said, "Senior, maybe you can see how strong the centipede spirit is?"

The old turtle touched his chin and said, "You can beat two and a half of you."

When Zuo Dao heard this, his face turned dark.

When did he become the unit of measurement for that giant centipede?

The old turtle looked at the palace and said, "There are also some pretty good ones there. One of them has the aura of a dead tree. He should be the martial arts immortal you mentioned who is about to lose his longevity."

"But even so, with his current strength, he can beat you five or six times."

"There is another one who is full of energy, protected by dragon energy, and protected by the fate of the Wei Dynasty. He can beat you at least three and a half times."

Zuo Dao took a deep breath and said: "In the opinion of the seniors, where can I rank among the top in Kyoto in terms of strength?"

The old turtle felt it carefully and said: "Top ten!"

When Zuo Dao heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

With his skills, no ordinary grandmaster can match him, yet he can only be ranked among the top ten in Kyoto?
It seems that there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Kyoto!

Moreover, what Lao Gui said was that the guy with the dragon energy to protect his body and the fate of the Wei Dynasty could be the Emperor of Wei, right?
In his impression, it seemed that he had never heard of this person practicing martial arts.

And after seeing him several times, I never saw anything wrong.

If what Lao Gui is talking about is really the current Holy Emperor, then he has hidden it deeply enough. If Lao Gui hadn't noticed it, I'm afraid no one in the world would know about it.

The emperor of the Wei Dynasty was already far more powerful than the great master.

He is much more tyrannical than his thirteenth brother, who was once the first genius of the Wei Dynasty.

After Lao Gui had dinner, he yawned and walked towards the master bedroom.

When Zuo Dao saw this, a look of helplessness flashed across his face.

Yes, who makes this person older and stronger?

Just think of him as a junior who showed his style and gave up the room to his adoptive father.

When night fell, Zuo Dao disguised himself and headed towards the ghost market.

During the day today, the commander-in-chief said something unclear in the study.

But he could clearly sense that the changes in Kyoto were no longer what they were when he left.

So he needs a comprehensive summary of information.

And the ghost market is the best choice.

When we came to the ghost market, there were only two or three kittens and puppies left in the ghost market that used to be crowded with people at night.

The flow of people was less than one-tenth of what it was before he left Beijing.

How long has passed, and even a place like the ghost market has been so greatly affected.

Wearing a green Taoist robe and a mask, he went to find Granny Jinhua.

Grandma Jinhua's shop is located deep in the ghost market, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it unless by chance.

Zuo Dao arrived at Grandma Jinhua's shop with ease.

After seeing the display in the store, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The utensils around were scattered, and many things were damaged, as if someone had smashed them?
Could it be that an enemy came to the door, or was this golden flower granny sold false news and was slaughtered?
Just when Zuo Dao was confused, a cough sounded.I saw Grandma Jinhua walking out of the shadows with her rickety body, looking at Zuo Dao in the field, and said: "Inquire about the news, ten taels of gold."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao raised his hand and threw a money bag over.

After Grandma Jinhua took it, she weighed it and then put it away.

He opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder what information the guest wants to find out?"

Zuo Dao used his spiritual power to change his voice, making it look like an old man's voice, and said: "I want all the news in Kyoto during this period."

Granny Jinhua was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay."

"But, you have to pay more."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao took out another money bag, which contained a lot more money than the one just now.

After throwing it to Grandma Jinhua, she showed a smile.

The business she loved most in her life was this kind of business involving outsiders.

She said, "What do the guests want to know?"

Zuo Dao said: "Before I came to Kyoto, I heard a lot of news along the way. I want to know whether the news is true or false."

Grandma Jinhua heard this and said, "It's true."

A flash of surprise flashed in Zuo Dao's eyes. It seemed that these things were probably already known to everyone.

Even too many have been confirmed.

He said: "Tell me one by one what happened in Kyoto these days?"

Grandma Jinhua found a chair and sat down in the field, and then said slowly: "There are too many things happening in Kyoto these days. Let me think about where to start."

After finishing speaking, Granny Jinhua hesitated for a moment, as if she was really thinking.

After a while, I heard him say: "Speaking of it, this can be regarded as a sudden change in Kyoto."

"In the past, although everyone knew about His Majesty the Emperor of Wei, more power was still controlled by the person deep in the palace."

"But not long ago, during the martial arts examination, the case of the disappearance of the martial artist was fermented, and all the fingers were pointed at the martial arts immortal in the deep palace."

"Even if the Jin Yiwei commanded someone at the Qianshi level to take action, nothing was found to be wrong."

"Later, there was a big battle on the outskirts of Beijing. The attackers were all strong men in the Little Grandmaster realm. It seemed that they were trying to kidnap the warriors, and the conflict broke out."

"The two fought hard, and eventually one of them died tragically on the spot."

"Later, after inspection by the Jin Yiwei, the dead man came from the deep palace and was a high eunuch."

"I don't know who spread this incident. Almost everyone is suspicious of the martial arts immortal whose longevity is about to be cut off. They are all saying that it is the martial arts immortal who is unwilling to lose his longevity and robs the warrior's blood to study life extension. method."

"But this matter didn't spread for long. A few days later, it was said that the martial arts immortal in the deep palace wanted to meet the national master."

"After the imperial master entered the palace, he stayed in the palace for a few days. When he came out, his face was pale and his breath was a little unstable."

"Then people in the ghost market disappeared one after another."

"Most of those who disappeared were warriors in the innate realm. If the stall owners had never disappeared, I am afraid that the ghost market today would have long existed in name only."

……

Hearing this, Zuo Dao's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

Pudu Cihang went to the deep palace.

And he was seriously injured?
In this way, either this demon's demon elixir was taken away, or he barely managed to escape with his life.

Think back to what Lao Turtle said before.

He even had some doubts as to whether His Majesty Cao Yan and Pudu Cihang were attacking King Cao Sheng together.

If this is the case, everything Cao Xiang said before has some basis.

After all, Pudu Cihang probably didn't want the demon elixir to be taken away, and His Majesty, who kept a low profile, probably didn't want to continue to be a puppet emperor.

During the 600 years of the Wei Dynasty, the fate of the country was truly in the hands of the emperor for only a hundred years.

It was the first 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Most of the remaining time was controlled by the martial arts immortal in the deep palace.

And Cao Yan can be so broad-minded and practice secretly to this point.

It is basically impossible to say that he has no ideas.

Zuo Dao looked at Granny Jinhua in front of him and said, "How do you know these things?"

Granny Jinhua smiled and said, "Of course I have my own way."

Zuo Dao thought for a moment, and then said: "Besides this, is there any other news?"

Granny Jinhua said: "According to my speculation, whether it is our national master or the martial arts king in the palace, I am afraid that they have suffered some injuries."

"But even so, the emperor is the one who benefits the most from this. He has taken back a lot of power."

"So in Kyoto today, the emperor has the greatest power."

"The man in the deep palace will probably die soon after this battle."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao was silent for a long time.

Just as Grandma Jinhua continued to tell Zuo Dao about the events in Kyoto, she suddenly heard several cries of grief coming from the ghost market.

Upon seeing this, Granny Jinhua quickly disappeared from the spot, and she didn't know where she went.

Zuo Dao followed the sound and kept walking along the ghost market, but within a short time he came to the source of the sound.

I saw several innate warriors lying on the ground at the edge of the dark river under the ghost market.

A few others retreated to the dark river, and in front of them there were several figures in black approaching them step by step.

Judging from the aura, the strength of those men in black is approaching that of the little grandmaster.

No wonder he could knock these innate warriors to the ground with his own hands.

One of them seemed to have seen Zuo Dao, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, leave quickly, they are the black hands who kidnapped us and other warriors recently."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the men in black robes rushing forward.

One of them even attacked the left path.

A look of surprise flashed in Zuo Dao's eyes, and he obviously did not expect this scene.

After all, he had just heard about the changes in the ghost market, and he didn't expect that he would encounter it.

However, the man in black robe who rushed towards him was not as strong as the young master, so he naturally ignored him.

He gently raised his hand and slapped the man in black robe away.

The black robe fell instantly, revealing the warrior's body underneath.

Looking at the person in front of him, Zuo Dao felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Just as he was thinking in his mind, he saw the man rushing forward again.

There was no expression on his face, as if he were a puppet, heading straight up the left path.

This time, his methods were even more ferocious and he wanted to capture Zuo Dao directly.

Only then did Zuo Dao react. He finally remembered where he had seen this person.

It was the secret room beneath the palace that he sneaked into after his soul left his body.
