Along with this cold scoff, Xuan Shu who was not far away suddenly walked behind Zong Shou. His gaze was as sharp as a blade as he swept his gaze around.
Luoshi's breathing instantly stopped. Xie An's brows furrowed, after scoffing he retreated in the end.
Forcing the 2 of them back, Xuan Shu also didn't have a good expression towards Zong Shou, his expression was also extremely ugly.
When Zong Shou saw the situation, he felt pity. This Xuan Shu was just too much of a hindrance.
On the other hand, Zhao Yanran was in deep thought, "Did you do that on purpose?"
Zong Shou smiled, not denying it. Just as he was prepared to meditate once more. Only to see a red glow suddenly descend from the sky. After circling for a moment, it directly pounced towards Xuan Yunlan.
"It finally came!"
Zong Shou's eyes instantly lit up. Not waiting for the red swift bird to return to Xuan Yunlan's side, he reached out and grabbed the bird in his hand.
Only to see that the bamboo tube below was actually really heavy. It was obvious that the news it brought was simply too much. This was why he didn't use the faster messaging talisman and instead used the red swift bird to send news.
Inside there were tens of pieces of paper, most of them were densely packed with small words. Zong Shou used the fire light to take a look.
The 1st was the map of the area around Helian iron mountain. Zong Shou took a look and his eyes lit up.
"So this Helian iron mountain is 30 miles away from Dali river? Looking at the direction of the terrain, it should be 120 feet below the river surface … "
Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan exchanged glances with one another when they heard that. Thinking to themselves, so what if it was on the Dali river? So what if it was below the river surface? They couldn't understand why this Zong Shou would be so excited.
Then, they heard Zong Shou exclaim, "We bought over the warden of Helian iron mountain?"
He knew that the so-called warden was an official in charge of security and capturing in the olden times. As for the warden of an Iron Mountain, he had even more authority. He controlled all the soldiers stationed in the Iron Mountain.
Such a person had actually been bribed by Cang Shengdao. It was truly inconceivable.
"It's useless!"
Zhao Yanran shook her head helplessly. "This person has a lot of information that I, Cang Shengdao, found out about. It was only two years ago that he was able to completely control him. However, it wasn't of much use and Tailing Sect wouldn't bother at all. Before I came here, Shizun had told me that it was easy to rescue people, but difficult to escape. As long as I, Cang Shengdao, attack, the people from Tailing Sect will definitely chase after me. "
When Zong Shou heard this, he wasn't surprised at all, nor did he look dejected. Following which he flipped to the last few pages. This was the information of Tailing Sect and that Han King as well as their recent movements.
"In two months, the King of Han will be transferred to the capital?"
"I've heard of this as well!"
The one who spoke this time was Xuan Yunlan. After all, the foundations of Qingyin Sect were in the central continent, so they were clearer about the situation here.
"For some reason, the emperor of Taishang hasn't appointed a crown prince. He also sent all the adult princes to defend a region. This Han King has the support of Tailing, Hanshan, and Daoming, these 3 sects, and has been rising up in recent years. He had many huge battles in the west region and was said to be admired by the court. He is going to be moved to the core to assist in the Ministry of Justice … "
Zong Shouxin smiled. This assisting in the Ministry of Justice wasn't a very popular position.
Based on the records on the cloth in his hands, it had already revealed the true reason why this Han King was promoted to the capital.
Under the support of the few large sects, they had many huge battles with the west region. However, they didn't have much progress, unable to wipe out a country or occupy a land. Each time they mobilized close to 4 million troops. This wasn't the motley crowd of their Donglin Cloud Continent, but true elite troops. Even Gantian Mountain only had 400 thousand elites that could be compared to them.
In the end, not only did they suffer many casualties, but they also used up tens of millions of resources each time.
Even with the riches of the central dynasty, they felt that they couldn't take it. A year ago, someone wrote a letter to accuse him of wasting military resources and wasting resources.
Therefore, this so-called 'promotion', rather than saying that the 'lords' of the Great Shang Dynasty thought highly of him, it was better to say that it was a promotion in name but a demotion in reality. They wanted to hang this King of Han out first.
Xuan Yunlan continued, "This Yuan Jiuchen's promotion was said to be to take over the Han King's position. This person is the most trusted aide of the Han King, and only by handing the troops to him can the Han King enter the capital at ease … "
Trusted aide? That might not be the case!
Zong Shou continued to flip downwards, and not long later he saw the Liao King's report. This was one of the younger ones out of all the princes, ranked 9th.
His experience was rather ordinary, just like any other prince. He was neither outstanding nor mediocre. After being sent to the north to defend the Liao land, he was a little smart, preparing the troops and resting up. Such that the northern barbarians didn't dare to go down south. Compared to the Han King's resume, it was much more beautiful.
In just a moment, Zong Shou's eyes focused on a line of words.
… Yuanchen 6th year 3rd month, 9th prince decided to roam Xi Mountain. He lost his way midway and only returned 10 days later.
He looked at it carefully for a moment, as if he wanted to magnify these ordinary words.
After a long while, Zong Shou took in a deep breath.
The history books of the future didn't lie to him, there was actually such a thing.
Everything in the Divine Emperor Era could be said to be confusing. He only knew that 12 years later, it was this Liao King who was made the Crown Prince. As for the Han King who was in high spirits, he ended up being locked up.
As for this Yuan Jiuchen, for some reason, not only was he not removed from his position, but his official position was also promoted and he was really trusted.
This time, there might be a chance of success.
Closing his eyes, Zong Shou thought about it carefully for a moment, following which he smiled towards Xuan Yunlan, "Yunlan, I have 2 more things to ask of you. I heard that this Liao King likes to patrol the army right? Can I ask your sect to send a few seniors over to assassinate him? "
Xuan Yunlan was startled, her first thought was that Zong Shou had already gone crazy. Assassinating a prince, it wasn't that Cang Shengdao hadn't done it before, but each time he would face the crazy retaliation of the central dynasty. Even the righteous path sects would work together.
Now that the spiritual wave was about to arrive, if they caused Cang Shengdao to fall into everyone's crosshairs, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
Moreover, she couldn't see that the life and death of this Liao King had anything to do with that of Yuan Jiuchen.
When Zhao Yanran heard that, her brows also furrowed. However, before she asked, she heard Zong Shou say with a smile that didn't look like a smile, "Naturally, we won't really take his life, we just need to force him to use that Taiqing Chengfeng sword. Don't say that your Qingyin Sect can't do it? Although I don't have actual evidence, but there is no harm in trying. The time will be 2 months later, 10 days before the Han King takes up his position … "
When they heard that last sentence, Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan's expressions changed, they couldn't help but stand up.
"You are saying that Tailing Sect and Liao King …"
Before she finished, Zong Shou placed his finger at the corner of his lips. He shushed her, signaling for her to keep quiet.
Xuan Yunlan's words also stopped. Seeing that the people around were looking over, she hurriedly sat down, her face was dark and uncertain.
"I will report this matter to the sect, but I still need 2 Seven Spirit Sect seniors to help. Rather than using strength to force him, why don't we confuse his mind. "
Zong Shou's eyes were filled with praise, forgetting that the methods of the demon path sects, Qingyin Sect and Beautiful Demon Sect were the best.
"As for the 2nd matter, I want Qingyin Sect to arrange it. Two months later, I will personally meet His Highness, the King of Han … "
Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan instantly frowned. At first, they felt that it wasn't appropriate, but then their faces regained calmness.
Since the Liao King already had plans on his side. Then meeting the Han King was expected and there wasn't any danger to speak of.
All of a sudden, they only felt that it was unbelievable. If it was as Zong Shou expected. Then this matter that had troubled the common people path for 20 years would be solved just like that.
Not only could he cause that Yuan Jiuchen to die without a burial place, but he could also wipe away the humiliation and let Tailing Sect have a taste of being schemed against.
Xuan Yunlan clenched her fists tightly, suppressing her excitement. Zong Shou's words didn't have any evidence, but if one guessed carefully, there was a 90% chance that it was true!
If not, she wouldn't have been so rash to ask the sect for help.
Originally, she didn't have much hope when she followed over. However, today, with Zong Shou's words, she actually had a 70% chance of winning!
As expected from a teen who took over the throne, destroying tens of cities and countries. The ruler of a country that shocked an area, his intelligence was outstanding.
Legend had it that the sky fox bloodline of the monster race was the craftiest. Today it seemed like it was really amazing!
"Within Cang Shengdao, there are many people and many mouths. It is hard to guarantee that there are Tailing Sect spies. If we want to have more confidence, we need to keep it a secret! Don't have too much hope … "
Zong Shou himself had less than 20% confidence. He only used the historical records that he saw in the last life to plan. His confidence wasn't as high as Xuan Yunlan's.
Whilst he said that, he was thinking about whether or not there was anything that needed to be perfected.
Suddenly he felt something, only to feel an aura quietly getting close from below.
Just as Zong Shou was about to investigate, numerous sand and dust rose up. A giant bug suddenly charged out from the sand. A full 400 feet long body opened its giant mouth. It was filled with sharp teeth as it bit towards Zong Shou.
"Sand bug?"
"There is actually such a bug at the borders of the Guangling Han Ocean. Moreover, it is grade 7 … "
"This Tan Qiu still isn't dodging, is he scared silly?"
"I want to see how he will deal with it without our help."
The people around all laughed and discussed, however, no one had the intention to help Zong Shou deal with the sand bug.
Zong Shou shook his head. Hanxi in his sleeves had already woken up. Even the lightning winged flood dragon was accumulating strength and ready to attack.
However, in the next moment, there was a light shout, "Xuanlong!"
A giant red sword suddenly slashed over from the side. Its aura was similar to the hundreds of common people mysterious dragon warriors here. The aura was like that of a grade 8 expert. Just one sword and the body of the sand bug was sliced in half!
Another sword image flew and smashed the broken body of the sand bug into pieces. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
