I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Because of the emperor's temporary decree, Zuo Xinrong did not die after all.

After he kicked off the chair, he was quickly rescued by the servant who came to report.

.....

Since Lu Heguang's report was a secret one, Zuo Xinrong was very confused about the fact that the emperor sent him to Qishan to bring someone back in a low-key manner.

At first he guessed that the emperor might be soft-hearted, or regretful?

But after welcoming Yin Taian back to the palace, Zuo Xinrong found out that he was totally wrong, because the emperor didn't even want to see his son, so how could he show any sign of regret?

"Master Zuo, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Sir, your words are too polite. Please give me your instructions." Zuo Xinrong said respectfully.

Yin Taian sighed and took out a memorial from his sleeve.

"Please, Commander, pass this memorial to my father. I wanted to present it in person, but now I'm afraid that's impossible."

"Yes!"

In fact, Zuo Xinrong was quite reluctant to meet the emperor. After all, as soon as they met, the emperor might recall what happened that day.

But the prince could not refuse even the deposed prince's request.

With a bit of trepidation and helplessness, and a bit of resentment and resentment, Zuo Xinrong paid a visit to the emperor.

"Zhezi?"

The emperor sneered when he heard Zuo Xinrong's report: "Are you so anxious for me to return the crown prince's position to him? I won't read it!"

No one in this world can force the emperor to do anything. If he refuses to read the memorial, Zuo Xinrong can only take it back home.

"..."

After Zuo Xinrong attempted to hang himself once but failed to die, he never wanted to hang himself a second time.

He sat there for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the curiosity and started to look through the letter in his hand.

Chapter 167 Millennium Changes

When Zuo Xinrong saw this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Yin Taian did not mention anything about restoring the crown prince's position at all, but instead reminded the emperor that General Lu Zhongliang, who was in charge of Qingzhou's military affairs, had rebellious intentions!

"This thing is hot, it must be presented to His Majesty immediately."

Zuo Xinrong immediately stood up and prepared to enter the palace, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.

Who in the court couldn't see that Lu Zhongliang was harboring enemies to protect himself?

In other words, the emperor did not take action against him for the time being due to various considerations.

"I am in a similar situation to him. Although I seem to be doing well on the surface, my life and death are actually determined by your Majesty's decision."

If this is the case, is it possible for us to stick together for warmth?

Zuo Xinrong looked uncertain, and he began to pace around the room.

"Lü Zhongliang was not stupid. According to the contents of the memorial, he did not intend to rebel directly, but was prepared to use the power of others to fight against them, purge the direct lineage of the imperial court in the army, and then support his own confidants to take the position."

This method is actually feasible, but it was discovered somehow.

And even though Yin Taian saw through Lu Zhongliang's plan, it was useless if he couldn't see the emperor!

"I wonder if the general has any backup plan. If he does, I will do my best to cooperate."

Zuo Xinrong let out a long breath and wrote a letter with high spirits.

Once this letter falls into Lu Zhongliang's hands, there will be no turning back.

However, the road before him was a dead end. Instead of living in fear and waiting for death, he might as well give it a try!

......

Ever since Hu Hui left, Lu Zhongliang has been eagerly waiting for its return.

But the gray-haired fox did not return, and what he finally waited for was the secret envoy Zuo Xinrong.

The secret envoy brought two things, a letter and a memorial.

Lu Zhongliang first read the memorial, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings of shock and anger; after finishing reading the letter, his face became pensive again.

Zuo Xinrong wrote about two things in detail in the letter. One was the killing of Gao Shun, to remind him not to think that the emperor was a person who cared about friendship.

Second, the emperor lost his manners before he ascended the throne and said some crazy things, which made those who heard him worried day and night and unable to sleep.

"Zuo Xinrong seems to have rebellious intentions since he dared to send me this letter."

Humph, that’s right.

One of them commanded the imperial guards, and the other was in charge of Qingzhou's military affairs. They were not like Gao Shun, a useless guy who could only lie down and wait for death.

Lu Zhongliang nodded, took out the Qingzhou map and spread it out on the table.

The purge plan failed, but with Zuo Xinrong's help, could he set up the next one more boldly?

After staring at Qingzhou and thinking hard for a long time, Lu Zhongliang picked up a pen and drew a circle at the location of the imperial tomb.

The emperor's performance in front of the Taimiao was obviously intended to create the image of a filial son.

Since he is such a filial son, he must visit the imperial mausoleum.

'The Imperial Mausoleum, the Imperial Mausoleum...'

While Lu Zhongliang muttered to himself, he drew a circle at a certain location in Langya County on the map.

Ge Chongtian is here now! {Bai% rotten‰ library ℃ [Q|Q group {tear∴Ⅵ|⒉‰ Qi&贰￠9;￥㈣″ ba∥三￠

'The two places seem far apart, but this is just an illusion caused by inertia.'

How to say?

Due to the drought, the water levels in all rivers in Qingzhou have dropped drastically, and people can cross them on foot even without a boat.

So Ge Chongtian could easily cross the river and go straight to the imperial tomb!

"The combat effectiveness of Ge Chongtian's subordinates is quite high, but the biggest problem is that there are too few of them."

When the emperor travels, he will definitely bring the imperial guards with him. Although the imperial guards also have the duty of guarding Yujing and it is impossible for all of them to be mobilized, at least two to three thousand soldiers will accompany him.

Can Ge Chongtian defeat three thousand imperial guards?

Lu Zhongliang personally thought that it was unlikely. After all, the selection of the Imperial Guards was always open and transparent. Although he couldn't say the upper limit, the lower limit was definitely far higher than the Shanhe Guards.

"The overall combat capability of the Imperial Guards will not change in the short term, but fighting a war also depends on the commander's level."

After pondering for a moment, the man wrote a letter and asked Zuo Xinrong's secret envoy to take it back quickly.

.....

I finally found a restaurant that was still open and was ready to have a good meal, but I didn't expect the hygiene conditions here to be so poor.

Tangtang had no choice but to step onto the bench with her bowl of rice in her hand to avoid the spiders running around on the ground.

"Excuse me, excuse me. I will add one more dish for you guests later."

The boss was using a broom to drive away the spiders on the ground while apologizing to everyone in a hurry.

"What the hell, do I dare to eat this meal?"

"Hey, that's not right, everyone look outside!"

A man near the window cried out in surprise. Tangtang turned around and saw that not only the restaurant but the entire street below was crawling with spiders.

This was not a question of hygiene or not. The little girl immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran downstairs.

'Where are they going?'

Tangtang ran to the door of the restaurant and looked for a while, and found that the spiders on this street were like a large army rushing out of the county town, and after joining more of the same kind outside the city, they all rushed to somewhere.

The little girl couldn't resist her curiosity, so she ran out of the city and used her flying skills to catch up.

Following the spiders on the ground all the way to a hilltop, Tangtang discovered that there were seven great demons and a demon saint standing on the hill.

The seven great demons are all spiders, and as for the demon saint...

"Sister Bai Ze!" The little girl greeted happily.

The seven banshees also noticed the Taoist master in the sky. They were ready to take action, but after hearing Tangtang's call, they couldn't help but look at Bai Ze with surprise.

"If it weren't for this little girl, I don't know when I would have made up my mind to rescue everyone."

The demon saint smiled and waved at Tangtang, then said seriously: "She is not our enemy, but a friend."

.....

Since he is a friend of Great Sage Bai Ze, he is also their friend.

When the little girl landed on the top of the mountain, the seven banshees greeted her very friendly.

"Sisters, do you want to bring these spiders to Losha?"

After learning the purpose of these great monsters, Tangtang thought for a moment and said, "Is it because Qingzhou is too hot?"

"It's not just because of the drought. Now everyone in heaven and earth is murderous. Qingzhou is going to be in complete chaos."

Bai Ze said with a complicated expression: "When the sky is murderous, the stars will move; when the earth is murderous, dragons and snakes will rise from the land; when people are murderous, heaven and earth will turn upside down."

Well, in short, it means that Qingzhou will be in danger next, right?

Tangtang nodded as if she understood, and then asked curiously: "Luosha is outside Jiuzhou, very far away from Qingzhou. Why did you sisters go to such a far place?"

"If Qingzhou is in chaos, the whole world will be in chaos. You can either not leave or go to the farthest place." The eldest sister among the seven spider monsters explained in a deep voice.

At this time, spiders all over the mountains began to huddle together and rolled into spider balls.

Although there are many spiders gathered here, after rolling into balls, the size of those balls does not seem to be particularly large.

"Tangtang, the millennium is about to change, I think it would be best if you leave here as soon as possible."

Chapter 168 Battle of the Imperial Mausoleum

Tangtang has always been a person who listens to advice. She said, "We have almost finished touring Qingzhou. Tangtang is going to go to Yangzhou to have a look."

Although from what Spider Sister said, it seemed that there would be no peace in the Nine Provinces in the future, running directly from Qingzhou to Luosha was inconsistent with her travel plan.

"Yangzhou? I'm going there to visit a friend, why don't we go together?" Bai Ze suggested.

"Yeah"

The little girl nodded repeatedly, and after the seven banshees used spider silk to stick to the spider balls and flew away, she set off for Yangzhou with Bai Ze.

.....

After crying loudly in the Taimiao, the emperor prepared to go to the imperial mausoleum to check the progress of the construction.

As the commander of the imperial guards, Zuo Xinrong should have been on the trip, but unfortunately he caught a heat stroke on the eve of departure, and in the end it was only Commander Yuan Chang who had to escort the emperor.

"Sir Commander, since you are ill and unable to travel, I should be the one to escort the Holy Emperor. It is not Yuan Chang's turn anyway!"

Zuo Xinrong recommended Yuan Chang, who was naturally overjoyed. After all, this was a rare opportunity to show up in front of the emperor.

But while some people are happy, there are also some people who are dissatisfied.

Du Mingzhe, deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, was complaining loudly in Zuo Mansion at this moment. He usually had conflicts with Zuo Xinrong, and now he was complaining at the top of his voice, completely ignoring the fact that someone was a patient.

"Humph, I would like to take this opportunity to get rid of you, but if you go with me, I'm afraid it will ruin everything."

Zuo Xinrong snorted twice with no clear meaning, and said weakly: "Wouldn't it be better to let him go and broaden his horizons?"

"Brothers, who doesn't want to follow His Majesty to broaden his horizons? Judging from seniority and ability, unless we count backwards, it will never be his turn!"

Zuo Xinrong turned sideways, leaving Du Mingzhe with only the back of his head.

The latter was so angry that he almost said something taboo like what benefits Yuan Chang had given him.

Well, ever since Zuo Xinrong recommended Yuan Chang, commanders at all levels have had similar suspicions to a greater or lesser extent.

only......

"I really didn't do anything to the commander-in-chief. This is simply a piece of cake."

Yuan Chang walked at the front of the team under the scorching sun. Even though he knew that the emperor could not see him because he was sitting in the carriage, he tried his best to hold his head high and chest out.
