Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 81 King Zhao Yingji, King Gu Yingchao

In the small courtyard, Fenglan sat at the wooden table, and Zhao Yu stood beside her with his head lowered.

"Well, I, I'm ready to leave Luyang Mansion."

"I've already made an agreement with them that I won't run around when I get back this time..."

Zhao Yu wrapped her fingers around her sleeves and whispered softly.

"When you lie, you don't dare to look up." Feng Lan's words made Zhao Yu stiffen.

Looking at Zhao Yu's expression, Feng Lan sighed softly.

"Well, that Zhang Erhe has some abilities. Father is in great need of people right now. I can recommend him to him."

Zhao Yu quickly changed the subject to avoid being pulled by her aunt again.

Fenglan looked at Zhao Yu and nodded.

"His reputation as a man of great righteousness must be based on his loyalty, but he must also have some skills."

The reason why Fenglan came to see Zhao Yu was not only because she knew that she was in the Wuwei Yamen, but also because she was surprised by the performance of the Wuwei Yamen in Luyang Prefecture last night.

Later, Gu Changshi returned and said that there were many masters from Beiyan this time, and they were very powerful.

The people she sent reported back that the Wuwei Yamen could easily wipe out the Northern Yan spies.

Ordinary soap guards don't have such means.

She inquired and found out that the strength of the Wuwei Yamen in Luyang Prefecture began to increase after Zhang Erhe returned from Fengtian County five years ago.

Because of a bloody battle, Zhang Erhe gained a lot of fighting experience, which he passed on to his colleagues in the Wuwei Yamen.

This is how the combat effectiveness of the Zaoyi Guards of the Wuwei Yamen was improved unknowingly.

I'm afraid that the people in the Luyang Prefecture Wuwei Yamen don't know that they are actually very strong.

"I just don't know if he's strong enough."

"What a pity. After all, he only grew up in a small place like Luyang Prefecture and never got to see the heroes and geniuses of the Great Qin."

Fenglan's tone was filled with regret.

If someone like Zhang Erhe was born in a big city and had the support of a big family, he would probably have achieved more.

Looking at it now, even if he has some skills, they are very limited, and at best he can only be a low-ranking military officer.

"I'm going to see how he handles the Jianghu Alliance in Jiulin County this time." Zhao Yu quietly put forward his purpose.

Fenglan didn't seem to care much about her going to Jiulin, and just told her to go home as soon as possible.

Only after seeing Fenglan off did Zhao Yu finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although her aunt is only a few years older than her, she is involved in all the major family affairs and is not comparable to her, a princess who has nothing to do and is idle.

Perhaps, the only thing she could do to help her family in this life was to help them arrange marriages and win over powerful forces?

……

When Zhang Yuan arrived at the academy, Huang Sanliang and Chen Wu, who had just gotten married, were also there.

Not to mention, Chen Wu, who got married, looked much more stable.

When they saw Zhang Yuan, they both bowed and saluted.

"You've come just in time. We'll go to the government office later, pick some experienced people, and go to Jiulin County in advance."

Although Chen Wu no longer had the status of a military guard, no one in the yamen would deny him.

According to the plan of Zhang Yuan and Master Tao, the Wuwei Yamen arranged a battalion of Wuwei to go to Jiulin County this time.

Twenty of the guards in this battalion were responsible for escorting the weapons and armor to Jiulin County in normal procedures.

The other eighty people disguised themselves as martial artists and quietly gathered in Jiulin County.

The Zhao family is deeply rooted in Jiulin County, and no unusual movements can be hidden from them. This alliance opportunity is the only one they can take advantage of.

It would have been easier if the Black Cavalry could have been mobilized, but unfortunately the Black Cavalry was heading to Toyota County.

"We should also send a team from the Red Fox Caravan, as well as people from the Green Mountain Village. Once the Zhao family is destroyed, we can't just abandon those Jianghu businesses."

Master Tao sat at the long desk, writing on a few sheets of paper and then folding them as he spoke.

"I won't go. I don't want to get involved in Jianghu affairs."

When he said this, a look of loneliness appeared on his face.

Back then, he was also a well-known figure in the surrounding martial arts world, and his spear was very impressive.

Unfortunately, his path to martial arts is now cut off.

Northern Yan.

Gubeicheng, the city lord's mansion.

This is where Xiao Renguang, the garrison commander of the Zhenbei Army, lives.

A young man in his thirties, wearing a brocade robe with dark patterns, walked quickly into the lobby with a scroll in his hand.

At the head, a middle-aged warrior sat with a majestic build, short beard, tiger eyes, and a suit of slate-gray mail. He was Xiao Renguang, the governor of Yan's northern border and garrison commander of the Northern Frontier Army.

"Father, news came from Luyang Prefecture that the secret agent we deployed was taken out by the Wuwei Yamen."

"Bai Hexing's whereabouts are unknown."

The young man looked grim and handed the paper over.

The young man was named Xiao Tonglin, the eldest son of Xiao Renguang and the Major General of the Zhenbei Army.

The real leader of the Xiao family's White Crow Guard is Xiao Tonglin.

Xiao Renguang took the paper and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Xiao Han was killed, Bai Hexing is nowhere to be found. What exactly does the Qin State mean? What about the promised alliance?" Xiao Tonglin's face was gloomy, and he whispered, "Father, could that Princess Fengming be deceiving us?"

Xiao Renguang looked at the scroll and shook his head.

"King Zhao of Qin, Ying Ji, is determined to revive his Wei Wu lineage and needs our help to enter the imperial city."

"If he didn't want an alliance, he wouldn't have let his own sister come to see him."

"However, whether it's the Zhenxi Army or the Zhenbei Army, I wonder which side Ying Ji and this Princess Fengming will side with."

Xiao Tonglin nodded, but his expression did not improve.

"Father, what about King Qin Gu Ying Chao? The relic is missing. They said they would send another one, but there's been no news for so long..."

Xiao Renguang chuckled and folded the paper scroll in his hand.

"Ouyang Shucai and I have both reached the Grandmaster level. The so-called relic suppressing the evil spirit is just a cover."

"Can't you see that he and I are both waiting for a price?"

"Tonglin, you are still young, don't be blinded by the chaos."

The paper scroll in his palm turned into powder as Xiao Renguang pressed it lightly.

There was a sense of oppression from Xiao Renguang that made people unable to look directly at him.

Xiao Tonglin had to lower his head.

"There will be internal strife in Qin, and Yan will not be at peace either."

"Princess Fengming arrives in Fengtian County, and we'll arrange an assassination. If she dies, we'll take her merits and exchange them for a title from the emperor."

"Have a fight to give the emperor an explanation and let everyone see that I, Xiao Renguang, am a loyal minister of Great Yan."

"As for what bargaining chips Qin State will put out, it depends on who is willing to invest, Ying Ji or Ying Chao."

Looking at Xiao Tonglin in front of him, Xiao Renguang's eyes flashed: "Princess Fengming is not bad. It is said that Ying Dynasty also has a princess with excellent appearance and character."

"By the way, I must get Hei Hu's head. I need to give his mother an explanation."

"White Raven Guard, you have to save some face too."

"Bai Hexing's cultivation has reached the late Xiantian realm. He shouldn't die easily. We can send more people to investigate."

Xiao Tonglin nodded and bowed, "I understand."

……

Toyota County.

In a quiet courtyard, Ouyang Xu, wearing a white martial arts robe and exuding a solemn aura, sat upright.

In front of him was a warrior in black, and next to him sat Ouyang Ming in a brocade robe.

"Brother, can the Luyang Prefecture Wuwei Yamen really wipe out so many White Crow Guards of the Zhenbei Army?"

"There are also Xiantian realm people in the White Crow Guard this time."

There was a faint innate true energy floating around Ouyang Ming's body, making him seem unstable.

Five years ago, he failed to break through the Xiantian realm, and his cultivation was stuck at the half-step Xiantian realm. He would never have the chance to improve in this lifetime.

"Luyang Prefecture Wuwei Yamen..." Ouyang Xu whispered softly with a hint of fear in his eyes.

If that person takes action, it will not be difficult to wipe out the White Crow Guard.

"It's also possible that someone else in the Qin court took action."

"Also, maybe someone from the Northern Yan Emperor."

"They don't want to see us meet the Qin people."

Ouyang Xu's gaze fell on Ouyang Ming, and he said in a deep voice, "We must fully understand the route and location of Princess Fengming's journey to Toyota County. There cannot be a single mistake."

"This matter concerns the future prosperity and wealth of our Ouyang family."

Ouyang Ming smiled and nodded, then leaned forward and whispered, "Brother, will Princess Fengming become my sister-in-law?"

"How about when we negotiate with them, big brother, tell me and let me become a county lord?"

Ouyang Xu glanced at Ouyang Ming, stood up, and walked straight out of the courtyard.

The smile on Ouyang Ming's face slowly faded, and a hint of resentment appeared in his eyes.
