The Grandmaster Strategist

Chapter 99: The aftermath didn't stop

Views:

Reluctantly stood up, I went back to the window and looked at Wan Qiuju. After a while, more than a dozen figures slowly walked out of the smoke and dust. Judging by his steps and posture, he knew that it was Master Cizhen. The monks behind him were all sturdy and vigorous. Although there were only twelve of them, they did not appear decadent at all. After a long while, I didn't see Xiao Shunzi, my heart tightened, and the hands that were pressing on the window frame couldn't help grasping tighter and tighter. After a while, the billowing smoke was finally dissipated by the autumn wind, and I saw a man in Tsing Yi standing in the rubble with his hands behind his back. His Tsing clothes were dripping with blood. Gradually spread to the dilapidated house and the surrounding vegetation. At this time, the embargoed army to fight the fire has passed. Suddenly, the figure of the man in Tsing Yi disappeared. I quickly rubbed my eyes. His figure had already appeared in another place, but in an instant, before I blinked a few times, he had already appeared downstairs. At that time, Master Cizhen and those Shaolin monks were still outside Li Xu.

At this time, Li Zhi almost danced over and said excitedly, "Suiyun, I really owe you, not only did you kill Fengyi's sect master, but also caused irreparable damage, this king really has nothing to say. Nothing to say."

I finally let go of my heart, I turned my head and said with a smile: "This is because Master Cizhen and all the Shaolin monks put their lives and death to death, so the master of Fengyi Sect was put to death. This minister was only delayed for a few days, and if it hadn't been for His Highness's trust in the minister, he would have been there on that day. Xiaoshuang Palace allows Zhe to make his own decisions, and the minister's plan will not work. Now that the master of Fengyi is dead, Fengyi's door has no more power to turn the sky, and the minister congratulates His Highness for eliminating the serious trouble in his heart. Your Highness, please go there in person To welcome Master Cizhen, as a token of gratitude, from now on, His Highness will rely on Shaolin Temple to stabilize the rivers and lakes, and to deal with the Northern Han Demon Sect, there must be a master like Master Cizhen in command."

Li Zhi rubbed his fists and said with joy: "Don't worry, Suiyun, this king will go to meet the master, but, Suiyun, won't you go to see the master?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "I can't hold it anymore. If your Highness is sympathetic, let me have a good rest, right?"

King Yong glanced at me worriedly, seeing that I was only a little tired, so he said reassuringly: "Suiyun, you need to rest well, and then this king will kill all the followers of Fengyi Sect, and then reorganize the government. There are thousands of threads in it, and I have to rely on Suiyun a lot!"

I smiled slightly, but didn't answer. There are still many things to do next. It is not so easy to reorganize the court structure. The emperor is still here. It's easy to deal with, but I don't have to personally participate in these things. I think Shi Yu must have been prepared long ago, and there will always be more people who are the icing on the cake than those who give charcoal in the snow.

Looking at King Yong's excited back, I sighed softly, tears streaming down my face. Ever since I entered Yong, I have been wandering about life and death, exhausting all my energy and painstaking efforts. Isn't that what it is today? There is no doubt that the crown prince lost his position, and he was guilty of treason and drunkenness. Even if he did not die, he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life. Fengyimen, who worked for tigers, has lost its former glory, and I have long been able to deal with the remaining defeated soldiers. s plan. It can be said that my great revenge has already been avenged, so what is the use of the glory and wealth that I have no desire for? There is a ray of tenderness in my heart, I think of Princess Changle and Rou Lan.

At this time, someone pushed the door, and I didn't look back. I would enter by myself, except for Xiao Shunzi. Sure enough, Xiao Shunzi's feminine but somewhat hoarse voice sounded behind him: "Young Master, I am fortunate enough to live up to my mission, and the sect master of Fengyi has already urged Sanwei Zhenhuo to die."

I said indifferently: "Is your injury serious? Although Sect Master Fengyi is dead, I still have things that you need to do."

Xiao Shunzi said with a smile: "Young master, rest assured, this injury is nothing, Master Cizhen almost took over most of Fengyi's attacks, so I just need to adjust my breath, and this time I and Fengyi The sect master has gained a lot from fighting, and this injury is definitely worth it. The matter that the young master asked me to do, is it chasing and killing the remnants of Fengyi Sect?"

I turned around and said solemnly, "Although I gave the antidote to Xiaoshuang Palace that day, I also did some tricks. Those who were poisoned would emit a special aura within a month. A wild bird can smell. I have trained a few of these birds, so I want you to mobilize the secret camp and use this bird to control the movements of the remnants of Fengyi Sect. I only need the details of these secret rudders, but there is one thing that must be done, I want Li Hanyou, this is what I promised Dong Que."

Xiao Shunzi glanced at me worriedly and said, "Young Master, Dong Que will not be able to stay by your side for a long time. I don't know what your son is going to do with him."

I sighed and said, "The hatred in Dong Que's heart is only deeper than mine, and the hatred between his parents is inexorable. The maid of the Crown Princess was already pregnant when she died. The information that came, I really don't know that this woman was murdered. Alas, I also underestimated Li Hanyou's madness. I didn't expect her to be so cruel to a little maid. Haven't you seen Dong Que pay homage to his wife and children at night? , such a deep hatred, not to mention Dong Que's unwillingness to give up, even I can't let Li Hanyou go, if it wasn't for my lack of thought, or Miss Xiuchun would not die, Dong Que would not be alone, so I want you to take Li Hanyou Bring it to Dong Que, whatever he does with it."

Xiao Shunzi thought for a while and said, "It's just that if you want to capture Li Hanyou alive, you will inevitably disturb the remnants of Fengyi's clan, and I'm afraid that it will ruin the master's affairs."

I smiled slightly and said: "Those things are just some plans I made for the future of His Royal Highness King Yong, whether it succeeds or not does not affect the overall situation, but it would be a pity if those useful pieces were destroyed in vain. We cannot do this. But the Splendid Alliance can do it. Moreover, if you want Fengyi Sect to successfully embark on the path I arranged, you will always have to give some honey bait. Besides, these people only have profit and loss in their hearts. If they do it properly, it will not only be unnecessary If you do, you can also leave a long line to control the Fengyi Sect." I saw that Xiao Shunzi had understood something, and told him how to do it in a low voice, he nodded while listening, and added some opinions from time to time.

In the end, the two of us had negotiated a decision, and then we returned to our residence. As soon as we returned to the small palace, I saw Dong Que staring at the sky in the distant room, and smiled: "Dong Que, you are in a hurry to go. Are you chasing Li Hanyou?"

Originally thought that Dong Que would blurt out for a while, but he quickly came to his senses and said respectfully: "Young Master promised to take revenge for Dong Que on that day, and he will definitely not make a blunder. Dong Que relies on Young Master for everything."

I glanced at Dong Que approvingly and said, "I have already made arrangements for this matter, but within ten days, I will definitely let you see Li Hanyou, and I will try my best to give you a complete Li Hanyou, no matter what you do. Dispose of, but once this matter is over, you have to leave Chang'an. I don't know what your plans are. If you want to become an official, I will arrange it for you, but it is temporarily inconvenient for you to stay in Beijing. If you come back in five or six years, it will be fine. Now, if you don't want to be an official, I will give you a sum of gold and silver, enough for you to be a rich man, what are your plans?"

Dong Que thought for a moment and said, "The villain was originally a prodigal son, and even if he has a great revenge, he has nowhere to go. If the son does not abandon him, the villain wants to serve the son by his side. Although the son has Master Li by his side, although The things around the son, Master Li can never be handed over to others, but some trivial things outside cannot be done by Master Li. The villain knows that he has no great skills, but he can always be a foreign affairs director, no I know if the son can accept it."

My heart moved, and when I talked about the people around me, Xiao Shunzi was arrogant and always stayed with me, so he had no actual position. Chen Zhen was actually in charge of the management of the secret camp, and Han Wuji was in charge of the business of Tianji Pavilion. Although the Eight Horses are all good talents, they have basically taken charge of themselves, and I don't want to bury them. No matter where I have a home in the future, there will always be a foreign affairs director who is responsible for the trivial matters of the home. Dong Que is a good candidate, not to mention that although he knows there are some secrets in this person, but if it is secretive, I am afraid that Xiao Shunzi and I are above him. From this point of view, Dong Que is worth accepting. Although I promised, I smiled and said: "But you also know that if you are my foreign affairs director, you will inevitably meet some people with sharp eyes and clear minds. Aren't you worried about your identity?"

Dong Que smiled and said, "Young Master said that it would be fine after five or six years."

I was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Alright, since you want to accompany you, it's also our destiny. It's not a waste of acquaintance to treat each other in the future."

Dong Que performed another ritual. In the past, although he had no shortage of rituals, he was a vassal. Now he is performing the ritual of a servant. I went up and picked him up, although I don't know why he must stay by my side. , but as long as it does no harm to me, I don't want to let go of such a capable subordinate.

Suddenly, Xiao Shunzi frowned and said softly, "Master Cizhen is here."

I have some doubts in my heart. Now that Master Cizhen should have gone to rest, King Yong is going to entertain masters of various factions in the evening. How could Master Cizhen come here suddenly. A moment later, a guard came in to report: "Sir, see you Master Cizhen."

I waved at Xiao Shunzi and Dong Que, and the two of them understood. Xiao Shunzi accompanied me out to greet me in person, while Dong Que hid in the inner room. Although Master Cizhen had never met Dong Que before, with his eyesight, he could not It's hard to see that Dong Que has changed his mind. Although such a major event has been decided, some things cannot be leaked.

Grandmaster Cizhen had already changed his clothes. Although his injuries were not serious and his face was pale, his expression was still so dull. I hurried forward and said: "I should have gone to thank the master for your help, but Zhe was too weak to go. Instead, the master of labor came in person, and please don't blame the master."

Master Cizhen looked up. At this time, Jiang Zhe was approaching his thirties, but his face was white and beardless. In addition, he had a handsome appearance. Although he had always been frail and ill and worked hard, he was now a star cream on his temples, but he looked even more elegant and romantic. His bearing is even more graceful and elegant, his eyes are still deep and cold, and his divine light is indifferent, but he is a little more energetic than the last time we met. No matter how you look at it, you can only think that this young man is just a scholar with a noble character. Who would know that this person is a vicious and thoughtful counselor

Master Cizhen sighed in his heart, the martial arts master Fengyi is slightly stronger than him, and a master of the series like them can be defeated, but it is not easy to kill, even if he joins forces with Jing Wuji, Fengyi master Even if you are not invincible, you can also escape far away, but it is this weak scholar who, through a series of poisonous tricks, forced Fengyi's sect master into a mortal situation, and finally let that generation of women, peerless pink, be buried in the royal hunting palace. . This has already made Master Cizhen feel stern in his heart, and just now he learned many details from his disciples. It is this young man who was at a critical juncture, risking himself, turning the tide, quelling the rebellion and saving the driver, and carefully observed his behavior. Changes, all-pervasive, make people feel a chill in their hearts.

The more you know Jiang Zhe, the more worried Master Cizhen is. The former Fengyi sect master was also amazing. If it weren't for a single thought, how could he harm the world? This talent is even more intelligent than the Fengyi sect master. Dayong's next monarch, this person is a confidant of King Yong, and he holds a lot of power in his hands.

It is because of this kind of thought that Master Cizhen met Jiang Zhe in private. After the two parties were greeted and seated, Master Cizhen chanted a Buddha's name and said, "Jiang Tanyue is ingenious, and the master of Fengyi is forced to die. Although it is a little thin, but without Jiang Tanyue's plan, Fengyi's sect master will still be in the dark after all, but Tanyue's tactics are too vicious, Tanyue is now an important minister of His Highness, and there are masters like Li Shaoxiong accompanying him. , a single thought, there will be thousands of innocent victims, from now on, I will ask Tanyue to go to the heavens and give room to others, and the old man will persuade him a lot, and please don't blame Tanyue."

I originally thought that this eminent monk was a bit troubled, but when I saw Master Cizhen looking at me with a serious look, I said solemnly: "The reincarnation of the heavens, the retribution is unhappy, I will always remember in my late life that if there is a bad behavior in the future, it will not happen. Please also ask the master to remind Jiang.”

Master Cizhen's heart skipped a beat, thinking, could it be that this person took the opportunity to make me not able to be alone? If I always care about his behavior, or advise me, I owe this person's love, but look carefully. When I went, I saw Jiang Zhe's expression was sincere, and I couldn't help thinking, that's all, if this person is really a big villain, there will be a day when it will leak, not to mention His Highness King Yong's holy candlelight, why should I worry about it unnecessarily. As soon as Master Cizhen figured out this matter, he stopped talking, just gossiped a few words, and got up to leave. Before leaving, he took a deep look at the inner room, and he vaguely felt that there was someone in the room, but that person's breathing was gentle and subtle, obviously with profound internal skills, and quite unique, this person could not escape, Or there are some obstacles, no matter what, Master Cizhen always has a lot of worries in his heart.

After Master Cizhen left, Xiao Shunzi said with a livid face: "This old monk dares to reprimand the son, it's really unreasonable, does the son want to teach him a lesson?"

I smiled lightly and said: "The pure is clear, the turbid is clear, the master has a compassionate heart, this is his advantage, and this incident also reminds us that there is nothing in this world that can be kept secret after all. , Over the years, I have done a lot of cruel things for revenge. Although I do not regret it, it is inevitable that some people will hate me, but this Fengyi Sect incident, I don't know how many people will be implicated, causing resentment in the world, and Let everyone be afraid, it seems that I have leaked out of the dangerous land. In this way, the things we negotiated will be done quickly. Well, I have to think about how to arrange it. It's okay, this matter is not over, I'm always worried."

Xiao Shunzi listened silently, his expression gradually calmed down, and said, "Young Master is right, although this old monk is rude, the mental tricks he gave him are also quite useful. After training for the past few days, he has really gotten a little better. It's better, just because of this, I won't embarrass him."

On the 4th day of October, when the holy car returned to Luan, I sat in the carriage with the army and looked leisurely. After Emperor Yong returned to Luang, there was going to be a violent storm. This was inevitable. Even if Li Yuan wanted to perfunctory, Yong His Royal Highness will definitely not agree. Although it was the Qin family who rescued the car this time, it stands to reason that the overall situation should still be under Li Yuan's control, but some subtle reasons have changed this natural situation. First of all, although Li Hanyou did Qin Qing's death, if it wasn't for Li Yuan's marriage, it would not be today. Although Qin Yong saved the holy car, everyone knew that it was King Yong's who sent the secret edict. Subordinate, in this way, King Yong has not only made great contributions to set things right, but also is a well-deserved candidate for the crown prince. Coupled with his usual reputation, he has obviously overshadowed Li Yuan's authority. This is a risk that King Yong took. At most, the disposal after this is absolutely impossible to bypass King Yong. However, King Yong has already made arrangements for the affairs of Beijing and China, so I don't need to worry about it.

Long before the hunting palace rescued the driver, King Yong sent his confidant guards to Beijing to deliver a letter to Shi Yu. After Shi Yu got the news, he made careful arrangements to monitor all the respected ministers. He is not an ordinary person, but it is not unusual for King Yong to operate for many years. In addition, in the past few years, King Yong has been widely deployed, and he has secretly controlled most of the middle and low-level officials. Although he cannot control the government, this kind of monitoring is easy. Besides, Shi Yu has been operating in Chang'an for many years, so the information transmission between the Hunting Palace and Chang'an was blocked by Shi Yu. After the disciples of Fengyi Sect escaped, it wasn't that they didn't think about passing on the news, but they didn't dare to return to Chang'an to die, so they sent some ordinary disciple messengers, and they were all captured and killed by Shi Yu.

After the death of the master of Fengyi Sect, King Yong sent someone back to Beijing to explain the situation to Shi Yu, but Shi Yu did not dare to take it lightly, and Fengyi Sect had many comrades in the court, and Wei Guan was full of family members. If something happened before the emperor and King Yong returned to the capital, I am afraid that the foundation of Dayong Sheji would be shaken. Therefore, Shi Yu decided to find Zheng Xia, the servant. Zheng Xia has always been upright and upright. Although Wei Guan's qualifications are all on top of him, Zheng Xia is the backbone of Emperor Yong. Zheng Xia only believed what Shi Yu said after seeing the emperor's secret order and King Yong's handwriting, and after careful inquiries. He acted very decisively, and immediately joined forces with Shi Yu to put Wei Guan under house arrest in the mansion, and then easily controlled the situation in Chang'an. When Zheng Xia came forward, all the court officials obeyed the orders. Although those generals belonged to different factions, there were some The appearance of Zheng Xia and Shi Yu means that whoever dares to disobey the decree of the emperor and King Yong, the subordinates of King Qi are at a disadvantage, and King Qi has never issued any orders, so they all acquiesced to everything happening. , Everyone is waiting for the great change after Emperor Yong returned to Luan, and the mountains and rains are about to come.
