Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 477 It is always better to prepare for a rainy day than to cram at the last minute!

When the man in black robe stopped on the back mountain, Yang Zhengshan looked at him warily.

This person gave him a sense of familiarity, but this sense of familiarity was so shallow that he couldn't remember where this sense of familiarity came from for a moment.

The man in black robe turned around and slowly took off the black cloth on his head, revealing an old face.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the face and couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Eunuch Chen!"

Chen Zhongshu!
No wonder it feels familiar!

But isn’t this old eunuch guarding the imperial mausoleum for Emperor Chengping?
Why did you come to Kyoto?
And this old eunuch is actually a congenital warrior?
"Lord Yang, long time no see!" Chen Zhongshu showed a kind smile on his face.

This smile is so gentle and harmless!

But this old eunuch is actually a congenital warrior!
Harmless to humans and animals!

What bullshit!
"Hello, Eunuch Chen. I didn't expect that I could actually meet Eunuch Chen again!" Yang Zhengshan bowed.

Chen Zhongshu smiled and said, "Lord Yang has not forgotten our family. Didn't Lord Yang ask Zhang Mingzhong to write a letter to our family?"

Yang Zhengshan's expression changed slightly. This old guy is really a shrewd man. He even guessed this.

He did ask Zhang Mingzhong to write a letter to Chen Zhongshu about Nansheng, but Zhang Mingzhong did not mention him in the letter.

"It seems that I have been worrying for nothing. Eunuch Chen has already discovered the problem!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Chen Zhongshu shook his head slightly, "It's not us who discovered the problem, but your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!" Yang Zhengshan raised his eyebrows.

This Majesty is definitely not Emperor Chengping, but Emperor Yanping.

He was now full of complaints against Emperor Yanping. The emperor was not a human being and even played the trick of hiding the good bows when the birds were all gone on him.

Humph, if I didn’t dislike causing trouble, I would have gone to talk to this dog emperor.

"That's right, His Majesty has given us an order to thoroughly investigate the Nan Sheng incident!"

"Oh, have you found out anything?" Yang Zhengshan was still very curious about this.

Nan Sheng was quite capable, as he managed to cripple Wang Zhongzhi and the Secret Guards.

Even he himself was probably transferred back to Kyoto because of Wang Zhongzhi.

"We've found out some information, but we still haven't found out the master behind him!" said Chen Zhongshu.

The master behind the scenes!
Yang Zhengshan's eyes flickered.

This shows that Nan Sheng is not Emperor Yanping’s man!

This is interesting!

Nan Sheng was the eunuch accompanying Emperor Yanping, but Nan Sheng actually had another master.

Did Nansheng have another owner from the beginning, or was he bribed later?
If it's the first one, that would be interesting.

Emperor Yanping is now forty years old, and Nansheng has been with him for thirty years. Nansheng was placed next to Emperor Yanping thirty years ago.

Tsk tsk, this is too horrible!
"So what? Why did Eunuch Chen come to see me so late at night?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Chen Zhongshu looked at Yang Zhengshan and said, "We would like to ask Lord Yang for a favor!"

"What's the deal?"

"Lend me your personal guard battalion!"

"I don't have a personal guard battalion now!" Yang Zhengshan said with a sneer.

"Then I'll lend you the guards from the Marquis' Mansion!" Chen Zhongshu said with a smile without getting angry.

"What for?"

"Capture Chun Zaitang!" There was a fierce look in Chen Zhongshu's eyes.

Spring is in the hall?
Yang Zhengshan frowned slightly, "Isn't Chunzaitang a study?"

Shunzaido is a very famous study in Kyoto City. It has a large collection of books and is very popular among readers.

On weekdays, many scholars like to read, paint, and discuss scriptures in Chunzaitang.

"That's right, but there is a considerable force hidden in it. This force has many connections with Nansheng. It is certain that they are in the same group as Nansheng!" said Chen Zhongshu.

It is obviously unreasonable that there are many warriors hiding in a place where scholars gather.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and thought, "Why didn't Eunuch Zhang use the imperial guards?"

The Twelve Battalions of the Imperial Guards are responsible for guarding the capital, so it would be most appropriate for the Imperial Guards to take action in this matter.

But now he is just a marquis who is idle at home. It is neither reasonable nor against the rules to ask him to use force in the city.

"The Imperial Guards need to be cleaned up!"

"They also planted people in the Imperial Guards?"

"Yeah!" Chen Zhongshu nodded.

Yang Zhengshan's eyes flickered. This opponent looked very powerful. Not only did he place people in the imperial city, but he also placed people in the imperial guards, and it seemed that he had placed quite a few people in the imperial guards.

"I need your majesty's order!" Yang Zhengshan thought for a while and said.

It doesn't matter if he helps, but he can't do it lightly. After all, it's a military action in Kyoto. If there is no order from Emperor Yanping, it won't be an exaggeration to accuse him of treason.

"Hey, the will you want!"

In front of Yang Zhengshan's astonished eyes, Chen Zhongshu took out an imperial edict from his sleeve.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yang Zhengshan inexplicably felt like he was being plotted against.

The imperial edict was already prepared, and it was obvious that Chen Zhongshu and Emperor Yanping had discussed it long ago.

He opened the imperial edict and took a look at it.

It is a genuine imperial edict, and the jade seal on it is very clear. Not only is there the jade seal, but also the handwriting, which should be written by Emperor Yanping himself.

"So, Your Majesty is deliberately ignoring me?" Yang Zhengshan's mouth twitched slightly.

"It was Nan Sheng who made the slander! Your Majesty is just taking advantage of the situation!"

"What about the secret guards?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"When Nan Sheng targeted the Secret Guards, His Majesty hadn't noticed it yet, but now Wang Zhongzhi has come to Kyoto!"

Chen Zhongshu gave Yang Zhengshan another unexpected answer.

"Wang Zhongzhi is in Beijing?"

"Well, we asked Zhang Mingzhong to go to Xiaohe Village to invite him!" said Chen Zhongshu.

"..."

Yang Zhengshan was speechless.

Xiaohe Village is where Wang Zhongzhi and Lu Hua lived in seclusion. He thought he had hidden Wang Zhongzhi and the others very well, but he didn't expect that he couldn't hide it from Chen Zhongshu.

No, it should not be hidden from Zhang Mingzhong.

The eunuch Zhang Mingzhong usually seems to be doing nothing in Chongshan Pass, but in fact this damn eunuch has been keeping an eye on him.

Depend on!
I used to call you my brother, but I never thought you were secretly watching me!

Yang Zhengshan suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

He knew that there were shadows of the Secret Guards hiding around him, but he never expected that even Zhang Mingzhong was secretly watching him.

Yang Zhengshan estimated that nothing the Yang family did in Chongshan Pass could be hidden from Zhang Mingzhong's eyes and ears.

You should know that when Wang Zhongzhi and Lu Hua were sent away from Chongshan Pass, it was Ding Qiu who took care of it alone. Except Ding Qiu and himself, no one in the Yang family knew about Wang Zhongzhi's existence.

But this did not escape Zhang Mingzhong's eyes and ears.

This made Yang Zhengshan doubt whether Ding Qiu was Zhang Mingzhong's man!
But obviously not. When Ding Qiu joined the Yang family, Zhang Mingzhong was still working as a eunuch in the imperial city.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and then looked at Chen Zhongshu in front of him.

Zhang Mingzhong was arranged to Chongshan Pass by Emperor Chengping, which was almost equivalent to being arranged by Chen Zhongshu.

But Zhang Mingzhong had previously said that he could not contact Chen Zhongshu.

This should not be a lie to Yang Zhengshan, but it is very likely that Chen Zhongshu has already planned to give up everything and only wants to guard the tomb of Emperor Chengping.

But because of the Nansheng incident, or rather because of the request of Emperor Yanping, Chen Zhongshu activated Zhang Mingzhong as a chess piece again.

That's right, Zhang Mingzhong was originally a chess piece, and a clear one at that. It was just because Zhang Mingzhong acted too harmless at Chongshan Pass, and because of the death of Emperor Chengping, Yang Zhengshan subconsciously ignored him.

Looking back now, Yang Zhengshan feels that he was still too naive.

Look at the tactics these people use, using open chess and secret spies as their tactics, even more infernal than Infernal Affairs.

Yang Zhengshan was considered a shrewd man, but when it came to planting spies in secret, Yang Zhengshan was no match for Chen Zhongshu.

No wonder Emperor Chengping was able to control the entire court. Who knows how many people he had placed in his power, both overtly and covertly.

However, Emperor Yanping and Chen Zhongshu seemed to have made some mistakes. Ji Feiyu's rebellion was beyond their expectations.

When Ji Feiyu was in charge of Chongshan Town, there was no eunuch guarding the town, and this matter should be blamed entirely on Lu Hua.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head, his thoughts drifting away.

"When will we do it?"

Let’s get back to the point, he asked.

"Tomorrow afternoon, 15:00 p.m.! Our family will be responsible for the interior of the imperial city, and you will be in charge of Chunzaitang. There may be innate warriors in Chunzaitang!" said Chen Zhongshu.

Yang Zhengshan frowned, "Innate Warrior? Are you sure?"

"It's impossible to be sure, but the possibility is very high!" said Chen Zhongshu.

Yang Zhengshan took a deep breath. Even the innate warriors were involved. This pool of water was extremely deep.

Nan Sheng definitely cannot control the innate warrior, so who is the person behind him?

An existence that can command innate warriors?

The power of this force far exceeded Yang Zhengshan's expectations.

"Who is in charge of the Imperial Guards?" Yang Zhengshan continued to ask.

Chen Zhongshu did not hide it, "The imperial guards are under the charge of Nanyang Marquis, and the rest of the city is under the charge of Ningguo Duke, Rongguo Duke, and Changping Marquis!"

Well, it looks like this is a big operation.

Nanyang Marquis Lu Baishu is the current commander of the Imperial Guards, and it is only natural that he is in charge of the Imperial Guards.

Duke Ning and Duke Rong were both idle at home, while Marquis Changping was in charge of the Central Army Commander's Office. On the surface, they did not lead troops, but the foundations of the two dukes' and one marquis' mansions were still very deep. The guards in their mansions alone were a considerable force.

Both the Ningguo Duke's Mansion and the Rongguo Duke's Mansion are hereditary dukedoms, passed down for more than a hundred years.

The Changping Marquis Mansion is also hereditary and has been passed down for more than three hundred years, the same age as Darong.

If we add the Duke of Xingguo, who has guarded the southern border for generations, then this is the highest level of the noble group.

As for the Duke of Changguo, the Duke of Shouguo, and the Duke of Anguo, they are not even a little bit inferior to them.

Suddenly, Yang Zhengshan felt extremely honored. As the Marquis of Jing'an, he was able to act together with the Duke of Ningguo, the Duke of Rongguo and the Marquis of Changping. It seemed as if our level was instantly raised a lot.

But~~
"Why do you let me deal with Chun Zaitang? There may be a congenital warrior in Chun Zaitang. What if I can't handle it?" Yang Zhengshan said.

He knew that there was a congenital master in the Mansion of Marquis Changping, and that the Mansion of Duke Ningguo and the Mansion of Duke Rong might also have congenital masters.

There are also the three mountain valleys outside the city, with so many innate warriors, it is not his turn to deal with the innate warriors.

Chen Zhongshu looked at him with a smile, "We have never thought of letting Lord Yang deal with the innate warriors. There will naturally be others to deal with them when the time comes!"

"But it seems that no one else is needed now!"

Before he came, he didn't know that Yang Zhengshan was already a congenital warrior, but now he knows.

Only then did Yang Zhengshan realize that his cultivation had been exposed!

Damn, he was so surprised at the same time that he actually ignored this matter again!
But there was nothing that could be done about it. He had just been following behind Chen Zhongshu, and Chen Zhongshu should have been able to see his level of cultivation.

"Oh, I didn't expect Eunuch Chen to have such a high level of cultivation!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Chen Zhongshu smiled and said, "It's getting late. We should leave now. Tomorrow Chun Zai Tang will be handed over to the Marquis!"

As he spoke, his figure flashed and turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the depths of the grass and trees.

Yang Zhengshan watched him leave, raised his head to look at the bright full moon again, and a faint smile appeared involuntarily at the corner of his mouth.

A moment later, he returned to the main courtyard.

Yu Qingyi had already put on his clothes, taken out his sword, and was sitting in the main room.

"master!"

Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming back, Yu Qingyi hurried forward with a questioning look in his eyes.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "It's okay, an old friend is here!"

"Really?" Yu Qingyi asked.

Yang Zhengshan smiled, took the sword from her hand and handed it to Qingxia beside him, "Really, it's Eunuch Chen Zhongshu!"

He knew that if he didn't explain to Yu Qingyi, it would be difficult for Yu Qingyi to let go.

"Something big will happen in Kyoto tomorrow. I will transfer all the guards in the palace away. You just need to keep your family members under control!"

"As for the rest, it's a bit difficult to explain. You'll know when the time comes!"

As he spoke, he pulled Yu Qingyi back to the bedroom.

"Will it be dangerous?" Yu Qingyi asked with some concern.

Yang Zhengshan took off his clothes and lay on the bed. "It's impossible to say there is no danger. As for how dangerous it is, wife, you have to have confidence in your husband's strength!"

Innate warrior!
Yang Zhengshan has faced this before!
However, in Kyoto, it would be difficult for Yang Zhengshan to rank among the many innate warriors.

After all, many of these innate warriors in Kyoto are old antiques who have lived for hundreds of years.

Compared with them, Yang Zhengshan is undoubtedly too young, and the time he has entered the innate realm is too short.

But this time, Yang Zhengshan is not facing a congenital warrior from the court, so the danger should not be too great.

Didn’t Chen Zhongshu say that there would be other innate warriors in charge of Chun Zaitang by then, so there was no need to worry too much.

Besides, even if we can’t win, we can still run away. If that doesn’t work, we can just run into the imperial city.

As long as you hide in the imperial city, there is no need to worry that those old antiques in the imperial city will not take action!

"Kyoto is a place full of hidden talents. I'm just a little worried!" Yu Qingyi leaned on Yang Zhengshan's chest and said softly.

Yang Zhengshan stroked her back gently and chuckled, "Don't worry, Kyoto is not as scary as you think!"

Yu Qingyi must have been feeling a little uneasy during this period. After all, after Yang Zhengshan came to Kyoto, he had been idle at home. Emperor Yanping ignored him, and the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion had also been treated coldly.

Although Yu Qingyi didn't say it, she definitely didn't feel at ease in Chongshan Pass.

"Yeah!" Yu Qingyi responded softly.

Yang Zhengshan didn't say anything else, but just kept stroking Yu Qingyi's back.

The bedroom fell into silence. Yu Qingyi closed her eyes, while Yang Zhengshan looked at the curtains above the bed.

Not only Yu Qingyi felt uneasy, but he himself also felt uneasy.

The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked!
Although he doesn't think things have gotten to that point now, he still has such concerns.

Therefore, after returning to Kyoto, he stayed in the mansion and rarely went out.

There is nothing big about hiding the good bow. He can just be a rich and idle person in the future. Yang Zhengshan is also happy with his leisure time.

But what about cooking the running dog?

Not now, but what about later?

君要臣death,臣不得不death!

Ha ha!

Yang Zhengshan doesn’t have such a high level of awareness!

If the king wants his subject to die, the subject will make the king die!

He can't do that now, but we can't afford to provoke him, and we can't hide from him either.

"Perhaps we should arrange a way out for the Yang family. Regardless of whether it can be used or not, it never hurts to be prepared first!"

"It's better to plan ahead than to cram at the last minute!"

Yang Zhengshan thought so in his heart.
