Eternal Sword

Chapter 108 Rebellion
Upon learning that Qing Mu was the eldest princess of Qian Kingdom, the gossip spirit in Chen Tang's body suddenly burned.

"What happened back then?"

Chen Tang asked, "Why did Emperor Qian throw the current emperor into the Heavenly Prison? Was he really angry because Dugu was sentenced to death?"

Qing Mu's eyes dimmed when he heard this, and he said, "After mother died, my eldest brother had an argument with father over this matter, which eventually angered the emperor, who threw him into the Heavenly Prison and prepared to execute him."

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How could Emperor Qian have the heart to kill his own son?" Chen Tang asked with a frown.

Qing Mu was silent, and said: "In fact, many of the actions of the emperor are difficult for my elder brother to understand. He has advised against it many times, but each time he made the emperor furious."

The fat old man sneered and said, "What can't a man like Emperor Qian do? I rescued you as well because you are all descendants of the Dugu family. If I only rescued the prince, Emperor Qian would be so angry that he would even kill you to vent his anger!"

So cruel?
Chen Tang was secretly shocked.

But on second thought, a person who can make his son noble and his mother die is definitely not a kind person.

The reason why a son is noble but his mother dies is nothing more than being concerned about the power of his mother's side and worrying about the power of his foreign relatives who will monopolize power and control the government.

But in fact, there are many ways to respond and prevent it.

The method of making the son noble and the mother dead is too cruel for both the son and the mother.

Chen Tang vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard of similar rules in his previous life, but he couldn't remember which dynasty it was.

"What happened after you were rescued? You two brothers and sisters weren't together?" Chen Tang asked.

Qing Mu shook his head and said, "My eldest brother is the prince after all, so he has to stay in Shenzhou. So Master entrusted him to another person and took me away from Shenzhou."

The fat old man said, "It's mainly because it's hard to run away with the two of you. If you're caught up, it's easy to kill both of you. I can only leave one behind."

Chen Tang asked Qing Mu many questions about Qian Kingdom.

Many pieces of information that were not seen in Qinglongsi were answered by Qingmu.

When leaving home, Chen Tang was full of energy and seemed to be a little dizzy when he walked.

Knowing Qing Mu’s identity, what is there to be afraid of?
No matter who you are, County Lieutenant Han Lang, the Blackwater Gang, or the Marquis of Wu'an, no matter how powerful the forces behind you are, can they be as powerful as the forces behind him?

Behind him is the eldest princess.

Behind the eldest princess is the current emperor!

There are Suzaku Guards at home, and the unit is Qinglongsi.

With the princess on his back and the emperor by his side, he can do whatever he wants in Wu'an County.

Chen Tang arrived at the Qinglong Division and ran straight to Cai Yin. He held his head high and said loudly and confidently, "Boss Cai, I want to ask for leave!"

You've only been here for a few days and you're giving up again?

Cai Yin glared and was about to get angry.

But when he saw that Chen Tang was fearless, he changed his mind and realized that there was a great god in this person's family.

Forget it.

Cai Yin waved his hand and said calmly, "Come back soon."

Chen Tang felt very happy.

In my previous life, if I wanted to ask for leave, I had to think about it for a long time and be polite in front of my boss. If I had no other choice, I would have to act pitiful and act pathetic.

No more now!
There is really no way to be low-key, my strength does not allow it.

The reason for asking for leave is naturally to go up the snowy mountains.

He had almost finished investigating the matter that Shan Zhongke had asked him to inquire about.

Moreover, his cultivation had also made a breakthrough, so he could go to the snowy mountain and tell the mountain guest about it.

On the snowy mountain, everything remains the same.

"I'm back."

Chen Tang greeted him.

"What's the good news?"

The mountain visitor saw it as soon as he raised his eyelids.

Chen Tang chuckled and said, "Senior, I have almost finished looking into the things you asked me to find out, so I came back just in time to tell you about them."

"The current emperor is called Yuan Qingshan..."

Chen Tang told the mountain guest all the information about Yuan Qingshan and Pingzhou Mu.

"The position of Taiwei of Qian State has been vacant for a long time. It is said that after the tenth year of Qian State, Taiwei retired from the army and the position has been vacant until now."

Chen Tang said: "As for the Qinglong Division and Xuantian Sect, no connection has been found so far."

Shan Zhongke listened to the information brought by Chen Tang, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "The governor of Pingzhou is going to rebel!"

Chen Tang was startled.

The guest in the mountain said, "All the counties in Pingzhou should be under his control, and so is Wu'an County. The little power you rely on, the Suzaku Guard, is useless in front of thousands of troops."

what's the situation?
Chen Tang was a little confused.

He was still excited, but Shan Zhongke's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him, instantly calming him down!
However, the Shanzhongke's thoughts jumped a lot and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Senior, how did you know?"

Chen Tang couldn't help but ask.

The guest in the mountain stayed on the snowy mountain all day long. It seemed that he didn't know much about Qian Kingdom. He didn't even know who the current emperor was or who the governor of Pingzhou was. How could he suddenly say such a thing?

"Actually, the last time I heard you mention something, I noticed something was wrong."

The guest in the mountain said, "Iron is the rarest resource in the Far North Frost Region. No matter which of the seven countries in the Frost Region is willing to trade iron to Qian Country."

"Senior, are you saying that the trade between the two places is fake?" Chen Tang was a little unbelievable, and said, "This matter is indeed presided over by the governor of Pingzhou, but it is probably impossible to deceive the world by making the fake look real, right?"

The guest in the mountain said: "It's not that the fake is real, it's probably inferior. The cold iron traded to Qian Country is definitely not the top quality in the Cold Region."

"Just exchanging some gold and jade artifacts cannot satisfy the appetite of the Seven Cold Regions. They must have a greater purpose in doing this trade."

"The Far North Frost Region has been plotting against Qian State's Pingzhou for a long time. The previous dynasty did so, and Qian State will not change. The transaction is just a cover. The real purpose is to allow the Black Water Gang to enter Pingzhou and gradually establish power in the counties of Pingzhou."

Chen Tang asked, "Senior, do you mean that the governor of Pingzhou is rebelling in alliance with the Black Water Gang?"

"good."

The guest in the mountain said: "If he only relied on Pingzhou's own strength, he would not have the courage to fight against the army of Qianguo."

"But what are the benefits of doing this?"

Chen Tang asked, "He Yeqian is already the governor of Pingzhou, and was also named Duke of Jingbei. He is almost the best minister in the country. Why did he take such a risky move and start a rebellion?"

"One of the reasons is what you just said, that King Qinghe lost the battle for the throne in the capital."

The guest in the mountain said: "Although Emperor Qian has only imprisoned King Qinghe and conferred the title of Duke on the governor of Pingzhou, he will definitely be on guard against the governor of Pingzhou. The governor of Pingzhou will also be aware of the crisis."

"The Queen of Qinghe and her son are both in the capital." Chen Tang said.

"Those who can accomplish great things won't care about these things, not to mention that they are just his daughter and grandson."

Shan Zhongke continued, "The second reason is that with the support of the Far North Frost Region, if the Governor of Pingzhou rebels, he can be incorporated into the Far North Frost Region and become the eighth country. And the Governor of Pingzhou can naturally become the king."

If it is said that Chen Tang still had doubts at first.

After hearing this, he already believed what the mountain visitor said.

Because he suddenly remembered another piece of news.

conscription!

The conscription after the new year involves the thirteen counties of Pingzhou. It is unprecedented in intensity and compulsory. Only high-ranking warriors have the opportunity to choose.

Now it seems that this may very well be a sign of rebellion in Pingzhou!
Chen Tang was puzzled again and asked, "With such a big commotion, there must be some clues. The Qinglong Division has stations in Pingzhou City and various counties. Could they not have noticed anything?"

“That’s exactly the point.”

The guest in the mountain said: "Qinglongsi may stand on the side of the current emperor, or he may not."

"What does this mean?"

Chen Tang was puzzled and frowned, "As far as I know, the Qinglong Division directly obeys Emperor Qian and monitors all officials."

The guest in the mountain said: "Emperor Qian is a master who conquered the world and founded the Qian Kingdom. The Qinglong Division may obey Emperor Qian. But the current Emperor Qian has just ascended the throne. Whether it is prestige or strength, it is far from enough. Most likely, he cannot control the Qinglong Division."

Chen Tang asked, "If they don't stand on the side of Emperor Qian, does that mean that the Azure Dragon Division will help the Governor of Pingzhou?"

"Qinglongsi doesn't need to help Pingzhou Mu either."

The guest in the mountain said: "As long as the Qinglong Division pretends to be unaware and remains neutral, the most they can do is to be held responsible for negligence."

Chen Tang asked again: "But what benefits will this bring to Qinglong Division?"

"It's hard to say, there are two possibilities."

Shan Zhongke pondered and said, "So, the other two things I asked you to investigate are who the current Grand Commandant is and what the relationship is between the Qinglong Division and the Xuantian Sect."

"The Azure Dragon Division remains neutral. Once Pingzhou rebels, the Qian Kingdom will definitely send troops to suppress it. With the current prestige of Emperor Qian, there is absolutely no chance of success in conquering Pingzhou, which is backed by the Far North Frost Region."

Chen Tang suddenly realized and said, "So, if he wants to take back Pingzhou, Emperor Qian can only re-appoint the Grand Commandant to take charge of the military power of the world!"

"good."

Shan Zhongke said: "There are not many people in Qian country who have such prestige and strength."

Chen Tang said: "The first possibility is that the Qinglong Division is neutral, perhaps to re-establish the Grand Commandant. The second possibility is that it is related to the Xuantian Sect? But what good will the Xuantian Sect gain from Pingzhou's rebellion?"

The guest in the mountain said, "Qian is a country where politics and religion coexist. The influence of Xuantian Sect in Qian should be higher than that of the emperor. Emperor Qian was chosen by the True Dragon and followed by the people. If that's the case, the True Dragon can also choose someone else."

"For Xuantian Sect, preaching is more meaningful."

"The Xuantian Sect may have some agreement with the Far North Frost Region. If they guarantee neutrality in this Pingzhou rebellion, they will be allowed to enter the Far North Frost Region to preach. Of course, the above two possibilities are just my guesses."

Chen Tang took a deep breath and tried his best to digest the information that the visitor from the mountain had said.

Pingzhou Mu He Yeqian was planning a rebellion.

The wife of the eldest son of the Huo family is the daughter of He Yeqian.

In other words, if Pingzhou rebels, Wu'an County will definitely respond!

The military defense of Wu'an County was in the hands of the county lieutenant Han Lang.

Han Lang is from the Huo family.

With the cooperation of the Blackwater Gang, it would be easy for the Huo family to control Wu'an County!

Of course, there are two variables.

They are Xuantian Sect and Qinglong Division.

If these two forces remain neutral, Wu'an County will definitely fall into the control of the Huo family and the Blackwater Gang!
By then, don’t even think about seeking revenge on the young leader of the Black Water Gang.

He himself might even lose his life.

Qing Mu's identity as a princess is of no use and will most likely become a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Qian Kingdom.

Chen Tang seemed to have experienced many ups and downs that day.

When he was in Wu'an County, he was full of vigor and vitality.

After arriving at the snowy mountain and hearing what the mountain visitor said, he didn't even want to go down the mountain...
