Chapter 378 Anti-Jiutian Alliance

Help Shen Jianxin overcome the tribulation?

Not to mention Yuan Tiangang's conditions, just when a friend is in trouble, it is only right to help.

So Lu Ping agreed immediately.

"No problem, I agree."

"Now tell me the information I want to know!"

After getting a positive answer, Yuan Tiangang finally spoke and told everyone what he knew.

"Just as you guessed, the person who colluded with the Assassins was Xie Cai. The middleman between the two parties was Lu Yanhe from the Nine Heavens. He has a Suzaku Chamber of Commerce in the East China Sea."

Hearing this, Lu Ping immediately realized that the 'Lu Yanhe' mentioned by Yuan Tiangang must be Imam, the Dark Star Elder of Zoroastrianism.

Because the real Lu Yanhe would never do such a thing.

"Many years ago, Xie Cai went to the Tang Dynasty to work for Fang Qian. At that time, he bought information about the 'Han King's Treasure' from the Yinyuan Society."

"This time, it was actually a three-party deal between Xie Cai, Lu Yanhe, and Assassin."

"Lu Yanhe helped Assassin develop the Red Sect, Assassin brought Mo Yu, and Xie Cai helped expand the Suzaku Chamber of Commerce. After that, the three of them shared the Han King's treasure hidden in the East China Sea."

I see……

"It seems that Xie Cai did not tell the other two about the 'map'. Otherwise, Assassin would only need to peel off Mo Yu's skin. There is no need to bring the whole person here."

Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "This is also very normal. If this information is known to the other two, then Xie Cai's dominance in this three-party transaction will be greatly reduced."

Just a decline, not a complete loss.

Because Lu Yanhe and Assassins did not have many people in the East China Sea, even if they got the treasure map, if they wanted to locate the treasure and transport the things inside, they would definitely need the help of Xie Cai, a local.

When the two talked about this, Lu Ping suddenly looked at Yuan Tiangang again, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "By the way, Lu Yanhe is the 'Zhu Tianjun' of 'Jiu Tian', right?"

"He is now conspiring with others to do this, and you, the inspector, are doing nothing about it?"

“Is it because no one is paying their salaries, so they just give up?”

Originally Lu Ping thought that Yuan Tiangang would just find an excuse to get away with it, or simply ignore his question, but unexpectedly he actually told him the secret that Lu Yanhe was replaced by someone else.

"Of course I won't care, because this Lu Yanhe has already been replaced by someone else. His real identity is the Imam, the Dark Star Elder of the Zoroastrianism in the Western Regions."

"...?!"

No, you knew about this?
Lu Ping was even more puzzled: "If that's the case, why don't you inform the remaining members of Jiutian about this? Let them work together to eliminate the traitor?"

"In fact, I have only known about this for a short time."

Yuan Tiangang explained: "A few months ago, because you came to Dongwulin, I accidentally observed that the fate of this 'Bian Tianjun' had undergone a huge change."

"After that, I recalculated the fate of the members of 'Jiutian' and discovered Lu Yanhe's abnormality."

"So in the past three months, I have spent most of my time investigating Lu Yanhe."

"In the end... the identity was found out, but the evidence to prove the matter is far from enough."

Originally, the "evidence" should have been obtained by Wuming, the "Lord Youtian" who was in charge of intelligence.

But the current 'Youtian Jun' is a traitor who likes to stab his colleagues in the back. He has long been on the blacklist of 'Inspector' Yuan Tiangang, so naturally there is no way to get any useful information from him.

Without sufficient evidence, we naturally cannot send messages to anyone casually. Otherwise, once the news leaks out and people know the inside story and prepare countermeasures in advance, that would be bad.

As the saying goes: If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his life; if a plan is not kept secret, harm will occur. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious and keeps to himself.

Yuan Tiangang understood this principle, and Lu Ping naturally understood it too.

But Lu Ping felt that something seemed wrong.

"Haven't Fang Qian, Sword Saint, and Liu Fenggu already been recognized by you? Even if they are not capable, they should still be able to keep their word, right?"

Yuan Tiangang remained silent.

Lu Ping suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized Yuan Tiangang's intention, so he asked with a guess: "Are you deliberately letting Jiutian decline?" "Why?"

Yuan Tiangang did not answer directly, but asked Lu Ping a question: "From your perspective as an outsider, what kind of people do you think the current 'Nine Heavens' are to the Tang Dynasty?"

Lu Ping hesitated for a few seconds and said honestly, "A bunch of troublemakers."

"Anyway, up to now, I haven't heard that they have made any significant contributions to the Tang Dynasty. I only know that they have caused great harm to the martial arts world."

Even though the Tang Dynasty in this world has been peaceful and prosperous since its establishment, the Anshi Rebellion should not have occurred in a few years.

But Jiu Tian can still mess up the martial arts world with his own strength——

Lu Yanhe, who ran the Chamber of Commerce, was replaced for decades, which led to the continuous loss of financial resources in the Tang Dynasty and the growth of Zoroastrianism in the Western Regions.

Zhou Mo, who was in charge of finance, was a passerby and had not noticed anything unusual in decades.

Both 'divine calculation' and 'ghost plot' are not very successful. They don't know what they are calculating or plotting every day, and they are obsessed with love.
Fang Qian never left the East China Sea. For decades, he just stayed at home, fighting wits and courage with the surrounding pirates. He even promoted ambitious people like Xie Cai, and was full of mysterious confidence that he could influence a Wujiandao.
Liu Fenggu became more and more confused as he lived, and he couldn't even sort out his own family affairs and subordinates;
No one knows where the Sword Master goes all day long, a pure Tang Dynasty slacker;
Li Neng spent all day thinking about how to deal with the Tang Dynasty;
Wuming is a traitor who likes to rebel against his own people and intends to seize all the treasures of Jiutian.

If you look closely, the development of these nine people is basically the same as in the original timeline!
The only difference is that Zhao Mingkong's prophecy of "the north will be in chaos" is missing, which makes the relationship between the Badao Liu family and the Cangjian Ye family not so strained.

And the funny thing is, since there will most likely not be an An-Shi Rebellion in this world, the members of the Future Nine Days will not even notice that there is any problem with their finances!

If he had not come to Dongwulin and attracted Yuan Tiangang's attention to the members of Jiutian, the matter of "Imam replacing Lu Yanhe" would not have been discovered.

In this way, the Imam will not reveal his identity, the real Lu Yanhe will be imprisoned until death, and then after a few decades, Jiutian’s financial resources will be completely devoured by outsiders and used to strengthen Zoroastrianism.

Ok……

If I rescue Lu Yanhe this time, it would be unreasonable for him not to give me half of the treasure!

Yuan Tiangang agreed with Lu Ping's opinion.

"Although the nine people who first established 'Nine Heavens' did make certain contributions to calming the troubled times, they had ulterior motives from the very beginning."

"By the time this generation was passed on, this organization had completely rotted away."

Lu Ping vaguely guessed what Yuan Tiangang wanted to do: "You want to destroy Jiutian so that you can retire early?"

Yuan Tiangang said coldly: "This big hand lurking in the darkness does not have much effect on the current Tang Dynasty, so I ignore its current decline."

"It is not an easy task to overthrow such a huge force as Jiutian!"

Lu Ping shook his head and said with a few clicks of his tongue: "It won't be too difficult for you to do it alone, right?"

"Could it be that you have allies? And you formed an 'Anti-Jiutian Alliance'?"

Unfortunately, Yuan Tiangang did not continue to discuss this topic in depth.

"Let's talk about the Red Cult."

"I think the little girl next to me can't hold back any longer."

This statement made Lu Ping certain that his guess was correct, but then he turned his gaze to Chen Yue.

The last time Yuan Tiangang talked to Li Fu about the 'Nine Heavens' in front of him, it was because he saw that he had the power of the Southern Vermillion Bird, so he felt relieved.

Then this time, what was his mentality when he talked to me about Jiutian and even the "anti-Jiutian" things in front of Chen Yue?

Is there anything special about Chen Yue?
Descendants of Princess Taiping?

The successor of Beitian Medicine Sect?

Or the three little ones from Daoxiangcun?
Wait! Daoxiang Village...

Lu Ping was enlightened instantly.

There must be someone in this guy's 'Anti-Nine Heavens Alliance' -

Former leader of the martial arts world, Tang Jian!
