Lu Shanghe said hurriedly: "Brother Xian is absolutely right. If Ksitigarbha wants to disrupt Xichuan, he must gather the two forces of Li Hongxin and the Miao Family's Seventy-Two Cave. The imperial court has been keeping an eye on Li Hongxin. If it were not for the Miao Family's Seventy-Two Li Hongxin couldn't stir up trouble at all when the Second Dong incident occurred, but if only the Seventy-two Dongs were involved in the rebellion and there was no general in charge, the Miao family... The Miao family's rebellion in the Seventy-two Dongs would have been put out quickly. Then Li Hongxin and the imperial court would have After fighting, only the combination of Li Hongxin and the Miao family's 72nd Dong can really cause chaos in Xichuan. There is chaos in Xichuan, and the officers and soldiers come to Xichuan to quell the chaos. Once something happens in the capital, even if the officers and soldiers want to come back for reinforcements, Firstly, he was held back by the rebels and it was difficult to escape. Secondly, he was far away from the capital and it was too late to save him."
It was natural for him to call Xiang Baiying "good brother", as if nothing had ever happened between the two of them.
Everyone felt shameless, and Qining asked: "When we were in the East China Sea, there was a man called the Ghost King on that island. Who is he?"
"He is the angel-catcher among the six Ksitigarbha envoys." Lu Shanghe said: "That man is a dwarf, but his martial arts is not weak, and his martial arts is much higher than that of the boy holding the treasure."
Qi Ning thought thoughtfully and said: "The treasure-holding boy, the treasure-goddess and the powerful envoy are all causing trouble in Xichuan, and the angel-shooter is in the East China Sea and is connected with the Jiang family. Where are the other two among the six Ksitigarbha envoys?" Where? They are not in Wild Ghost Ridge."
Qi Ning came out from the Wild Ghost Ridge, but he killed the boy holding the treasure first, but did not see the other envoys. He knew that if the other six Ksitigarbha envoys were still on the mountain, they would not be able to hide and come out.
Both the powerful messenger and the boy holding the treasure died in his hands. The treasure goddess Hua Xiangrong was nowhere to be seen. She should have gone down the mountain with Ksitigarbha. However, among the six Ksitigarbha envoys, there were also the Flame Messenger and the Great Merciful Goddess. Show your face.
Lu Shanghe said: "Two years ago, the Flame Envoy and the Merciful Goddess disappeared. I guess they must have been sent by Ksitigarbha to do something. But where did they go? I... I really don't know. Ksitigarbha has never been there either. Mentioned them."
"Since Ksitigarbha is determined to rebel, then the capital will definitely arrange people." Xuanyuan said: "I thought those two people were probably lurking in the capital." When he said this, his tone was a little unnatural. After all, the people of the Shenhou Mansion Their duty is to deal with hostile spies. Their biggest opponent is naturally Jiutian Tower in the Northern Han Dynasty. Although Ksitigarbha's people are lurking in the capital silently, and the attention of Shenhou Mansion has never been on Ksitigarbha before, but if Ksitigarbha's spies were lurking safely in the capital, but the Shenhou Mansion knew nothing about it. After all, it was still a shameful thing.
Qi Ning pondered for a moment, then his body suddenly shook, and he said in a deep voice: "Fire Gate!"
Everyone was confused. Looking at Qining, Xuanyuan Po asked in confusion: "My lord, what does the fire gate mean?"
Qi Ning said: "You don't know something. There was a major case in the Black Scale Camp. The wife of Meng Guangren, the young minister of Taipu Temple, rushed back to her hometown overnight and passed near the Black Scale Camp. However, she encountered a misfortune and several followers died. If If it weren’t for the guards from Kyoto Prefecture passing by, Mrs. Meng would even encounter something unexpected.”
Xuanyuan Po was still in Xichuan at that time and did not know about the case. He was surprised and asked: "What does this case have to do with the Black Scale Camp?"
"The yamen of Kyoto Prefecture caught the murderer. Those yamen marshals are all from the Black Scale Battalion." Qi Ning looked solemn: "After investigation, it was found that this matter was a scheme from beginning to end. The yamen of Kyoto Prefecture was I was taken advantage of, and I happened to catch the murderer passing by that place, and those murderers were the new recruits recruited by the Blackscale Battalion, they... are people from the Fire Sect!"
Xuanyuan Po frowned and said, "Fire Sect? I have never heard of such a sect before."
"The Lord of the Fire Sect is called the Ghost Master." Qi Ning explained: "The origin of this person has not been found out yet, but one thing is certain. This person has secretly recruited many people and made many people. These people took advantage of the Blackscale Battalion to recruit new soldiers and infiltrated it."
"Ghost Master?" Xiang Baiying said, "I have never heard of this person either."
"The captured Huomen murderer confessed that there was a ball of flame tattooed on the back of the Ghost Heavenly Master's hand...!" Before Qi Ning could finish speaking, Lu Shanghe said anxiously: "Yanmo Messenger, yes, Yanmo Messenger also has a ball of flame on the back of his hand..." Flame Tattoo, the Ghost Master you mentioned may...may be the Flame Messenger."
Qi Ning sneered and said: "It's really him. So, the Flame Messenger and the Merciful Goddess are both in the capital." When he said this, his heart trembled again, and he couldn't help but think that since Zhuo Xian'er might be the earth's Hidden person, is it related to the Flame Messenger? Is Zhuo Xianer even the compassionate goddess? If this is indeed the case, then is the man in black robe who claimed to be the subordinate of Marquis Muyun in the palace the envoy of Yanmo
Has Ksitigarbha's power already penetrated into the palace
Xuanyuan Po said: "My lord, those Huo Clan villains killed Meng Shaoqing's servants, was it carefully planned by someone?"
Qi Ning thought for a moment and then said: "After this incident, the imperial court transferred a deputy commander Wu Dalin on the grounds that the military discipline of the Black Scale Camp was lax, and Wu Dalin himself was the deputy commander of the Yulin Camp."
"Wu Dalin?" Xuanyuan said: "This person seems to have been promoted by Sima Lan. His ability to enter the Yulin camp seems to have been facilitated by Sima Lan."
"Yes." Qi Ning said: "Shortly after this incident, King Huainan launched a rebellion when the Holy Emperor was offering sacrifices to heaven, intending to kill Sima Lan and usurp the throne."
Others did not know the intricate relationship between the DPRK and China, but Xuanyuan Po seemed to understand something and said: "My lord, Wu Dalin was transferred to the Yulin camp by Sima Lan. The emperor offered sacrifices to heaven. Naturally, the Yulin camp escorted Wu Dalin from the Yulin camp. If Lin Ying is transferred, what if... Sima Lan's influence in Yu Lin Ying will be taken away."
Qi Ning said: "Actually, this matter was planned by King Huainan. The case that happened in the Black Scale Camp was probably planned by King Huainan to transfer Wu Dalin. King Huainan wanted to take advantage of the Yulin Camp that Chi Fengdian completely controlled. He attacked Sima Lan, but... Chi Fengdian did not go as King Huainan wanted in the end. During that rebellion, King Huainan completely fell into Sima Lan's trap." After a pause, he said: "At least it can be proved that ghosts The Heavenly Master has been secretly colluding with King Huainan, which means that Ksitigarbha is actually involved with King Huainan."
"I see." Xuanyuan Po nodded slightly.
Yin Wuji said: "Does that prove that Ksitigarbha wanted to help King Huainan ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?"
Xuanyuan Po asked Lu Shanghe in a deep voice: "Lu Shanghe, do you know that Ksitigarbha has colluded with the King of Huainan?"
"I don't know." Lu Shanghe said hurriedly: "I don't even know that the Ghost Heavenly Master... no, I don't even know that the Yanmo envoy is in the capital, let alone that they are secretly colluding with the King of Huainan."
Qi Ning said thoughtfully: "Ksitigarbha sent Yanmo envoys to the capital to secretly collude with the King of Huainan, and also solved the case of the Black Scale Camp...!" At this point, he fell silent and did not continue to speak. , but Xiang Baiying suddenly said: "No, no!"
"Uncle Xiang, you mean?"
"The Donghai family has been planning for many years, and the Ksitigarbha in Xichuan has also been planning for a long time." Xiang Baiying said slowly: "A battle between the Chu State and the Northern Han Dynasty is inevitable. The entire layout was secretly prepared in private, and only waited for the Chu army. Go north and attack immediately. As you said just now, Ksitigarbha and the others deliberately planned to attract the imperial troops to Xichuan, and then the Donghai family took the opportunity to go north to the capital. If Ksitigarbha really colluded with the King of Huainan in secret, this plan was naturally carefully planned by them together. Layout and planning.”
Qi Ning said: "Exactly, if Ksitigarbha is really assisting King Huainan to usurp the throne, King Huainan will naturally be aware of all these plans."
"If that's the case, why did King Huainan launch an attack in advance?" Xiang Baiying said: "King Huainan has no military power, but the Sima family has all the power. Since King Huainan has already made plans with Ksitigarbha, why doesn't he continue to wait? Why is he here? Before the plan was implemented, it was easy to take action when the emperor was offering sacrifices to heaven. Compared with his and Ksitigarbha's plan, the risk of rebellion during sacrifices to heaven was much greater, and it is impossible for King Huainan not to know."
Although Anao didn't understand court affairs, he couldn't help but interjected: "Is it that the King of Huainan can't wait any longer?"
"Before King Huainan rebelled, civil strife had already occurred in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the court had already planned to go north. King Huainan was also involved in the planning. He should understand that the time he had been waiting for for the Chu army to go north has indeed arrived." Qining said slowly: " Moreover, the rebellion of the Donghai Family had not been noticed at that time, and Li Hongxin was still alive and well. Although they failed to seize control of the Beggar Gang, it does not mean that their plan failed." After pondering for a while, he said: "Uncle Xiang is right. , Logically speaking, there is no reason for King Huainan to rebel at that time. Since he has endured it for so many years, he cannot be impatient and wait a little longer."
Xuanyuan Po said: "My lord, if this is the case, it only means that King Huainan does not know about Ksitigarbha's plan, otherwise he would not be stupid enough to take action in advance."
"But the case commanded by Guitianshi is indeed in the interests of King Huainan." Qi Ning frowned and asked: "Isn't it all under the command of King Huainan?"
Xuanyuan Po said: "Actually...!" The words came to his lips and he did not continue. Qining said: "It doesn't matter if you just say it."
"My lord, is it possible that these matters are related to the Crown Prince of Huainan?" Xuanyuan Po asked thoughtfully: "Is it the Crown Prince of Huainan who secretly colluded with Ksitigarbha without telling the King of Huainan?"
Qi Ning said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but the prince of Huainan has not left home for many years, and he is so young, how can he collude with Ksitigarbha? The most important thing is that this person is terminally ill and will die soon. According to the imperial doctor's diagnosis, he only has a year and a half to live. He colluded with Ksitigarbha to rebel, and for what purpose? Perhaps he would have passed away before the plan was implemented."
"The Prince of Huainan is indeed suffering from a serious illness." Xuanyuan nodded and said: "The Shenhou Mansion has always been keeping an eye on King Huainan's movements. In recent years, the Prince of Huainan has rarely gone out. He suffers from a strange disease. According to the Shenhou Mansion, According to the information from the investigation, he really won’t live long.”
"Is it possible that King Huainan also didn't know about the existence of Ksitigarbha, but knew about the existence of Ghost Heavenly Master? King Huainan found out that Ghost Heavenly Master could use him, but was instead used by Ghost Heavenly Master?" Yin Wuji said: "The other person assisted by Ksitigarbha is Is there someone else?"
"Who is the person who can make Ksitigarbha help him to the best of his ability?" Qi Ning asked doubtfully: "Who in the world can make this great master work for him regardless of hard work?"
