On the other side.
Marquis Beiyun also received Kou Ziping's message.
"Yan Caizhe is really good at this. Does it mean that I, Xiao Chengfeng, am not loyal to the Great Zhao because we can't send an Array Grand Master?"
Marquis Beiyun shook his head and laughed as he looked at the information in his hand.
Such a method.
Actually, it was fine to just take a look.
He could also see that the imperial court really did not intend to drag this matter on.
Then.
Marquis Beiyun walked out of the study. There were guards on both sides of the door.
When they saw Marquis Beiyun, the two guards bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Marquis!"
"Send a message to the other generals to discuss this matter in the main hall!"
"Yes!"
The two guards took the order and retreated.
It didn't take long for everyone who received the news to rush to the Marquis Beiyun's mansion.
In the main hall.
Marquis Beiyun, who was dressed in a green and white robe, sat there like an elegant scholar. On his left and right sides were his generals and his right-hand men.
After everyone had arrived.
Marquis Beiyun passed the information in his hand and said, "This is the information from the Thousand Mountains Prefecture. Take a look."
While he was talking.
The information had already been circulated.
There was not much content in the information, only a few hundred words.
For them, they could basically finish reading and memorize the content of a few hundred words with just one or two glances.
Soon.
The information returned to Marquis Beiyun's hands.
After a moment of silence.
Zang Hailong said in a deep voice, "According to the information, the imperial court probably wants to take advantage of Gu Changqing's unstable situation to send troops to eliminate him in one fell swoop.
But the problem now is, with our relationship with Yuan Zong, can we invite this Array Grand Master? "
When he mentioned Qin Shujian.
He used the word 'invite'.
In response.
However, no one revealed any strange expressions.
An Array Grand Master was worthy of the word 'invite'.
After he finished speaking.
The middle-aged scholar, Feng Wende, said, "Gu Changqing previously sent people to assassinate the Array Grand Master, but Yuan Zong sent people to the Thousand Mountains Prefecture, which caused him to be in a terrible situation.
Right now, Gu Changqing's unstable situation is mostly because Yuan Zong took the lead.
Under such circumstances, the two sides were already in a situation where they would not rest until one of them was dead.
If there is a chance, Gu Changqing will definitely destroy the Yuan Sect. Similarly, the Array Formation Grandmaster probably doesn't want Gu Changqing to have a chance to make a comeback. "
Speaking of which.
He glanced at Marquis Beiyun's expression and said with a faint smile, "To be honest, Marquis Beiyun's relationship with Yuan Zong is quite good. If Marquis Beiyun asks, the possibility of that Array Dao Grandmaster rejecting him is not high."
The Northern Cloud Marquis Manor had cooperated with Sky Origin Sect many times.
Naturally, the relationship between the two parties was extraordinary.
Even if Marquis Qianshan did not attack Yuan Zong, if Marquis Beiyun really asked, the possibility of Yuan Zong rejecting him was not high.
It was also for this reason.
That was why Marquis Qianshan had thought of striking first to gain the upper hand and eliminating Qin Shujian a step earlier.
It was a pity.
In the end, he went for wool and came home shorn. Not only did the assassination fail, but he also got himself into trouble.
Looking at the discussion of the crowd.
Marquis Beiyun did not say anything.
After a while.
When the main hall gradually quieted down, he said calmly, "Gu Changqing can send out two Array Formation Grandmasters. The force behind him is definitely not to be underestimated. If I'm not wrong, it should be the Demon Clan."
"The Demon Clan!?"
Hearing this, many people's expressions changed drastically.
Obviously.
The word "Demon Clan" had a great impact on them.
Other than Feng Wende, who looked calm, not many others could remain calm.
At this moment.
Feng Wende also nodded and said, "We've been sending people to investigate the force behind Gu Changqing during this period of time, but we lost a lot of people. According to the little information we received.
The force behind the other party is most likely the Demon Clan.
After all, only the Demon Clan can make Gu Changqing decide to rebel and not be afraid of the power of the Human Emperor. "
The Demon Clan had been one of the top races since ancient times.
However, after the defeat of the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Clan slowly kept a low profile in the past few thousand years and was only active in the Endless Mountain Range.
However, the Demon Clan keeping a low profile did not mean that they were weak.
Then.
Feng Wende continued, "To deal with Gu Changqing, we have to face the Demon Clan force behind him. Yan Caizhe's actions are equivalent to pushing Beiyun Mansion to the front. You have to be careful, Marquis."
"A war can't be decided by one or two people. Since Yan Caizhe has spoken, I'll do as he wishes." Marquis Beiyun's expression was gentle. Then, he looked at Xiao Hong and said, "Go to Mount Liang tomorrow and invite that Array Formation Grandmaster here."
"Yes, Marquis Beiyun."
"Also, make preparations. Since the imperial court wants to deal with Gu Changqing, it won't be long before they need military support. It's just a matter of time."
"Yes, Marquis Beiyun!"
"Let's disperse!"
Marquis Beiyun got up and left the main hall.
The rest of the people looked at each other and got up to leave.
In the backyard of Marquis Beiyun's mansion.
Marquis Beiyun sat in a pavilion surrounded by a lotus pond. The lotus flowers bloomed day and night regardless of season. The pond water was clear and fish could be seen swimming in it. There was only a stone bridge that led to the shore.
Inside the pavilion.
Except for Marquis Beiyun.
There was one other person sitting there.
"Marquis Beiyun, are we really going to help the imperial court eliminate Gu Changqing?" Feng Wende no longer had a smile on his face. Instead, he asked solemnly.
"Eliminating the rebels is what we need to do. What's there to think about?"
Marquis Beiyun picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Then, he got up and looked at the lotus flowers in the pond. There was a faint smile on his face.
Feng Wende looked at Marquis Beiyun's back and didn't reply.
After a long time.
As if he had decided on something, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Marquis Beiyun, the Human Emperor is old now. The flames of war have been rising in the Great Zhao these years. Once the Human Emperor passes away, the world will be in chaos.
At that time, all the Marquises will rise and fight for the world. "
"What are you trying to say?" Marquis Beiyun still didn't turn around. He stood by the pavilion with his hands behind his back and looked at the pond.
Seeing this.
Feng Wende immediately stood up and walked behind Marquis Beiyun. He said respectfully, "Marquis, you've ruled Beiyun Mansion for hundreds of years and have won the hearts of the people. Once the Human Emperor passes away, everyone will respond to your call.
If we attack Gu Changqing now, we will inevitably lose our strength. At that time, we won't be able to dominate the world. "
"And —"
"Now that Gu Changqing is attracting the imperial court's attention, we can rest and build up strength. When the Human Emperor passes away, it will be the best opportunity."
After that.
Feng Wende then bowed down.
After a long time.
Marquis Beiyun came back to his senses and looked at Feng Wende who was bowing. He said calmly, "Do you mean that you want me to rebel?"
"I don't dare!" Feng Wende was still bowing. He said sincerely, "It's just that the Human Emperor's death is inevitable. Now that the world is in chaos, it's all thanks to the Human Emperor's suppression that it hasn't caused a big commotion.
However, Gu Changqing dared to rebel and the Human Emperor hasn't suppressed him yet. This is a sign that the imperial court is weak.
In this case, the imperial court is already an arrow at the end of its flight.
When the Human Emperor passes away, the world will be torn apart. Even if you don't want to rebel, I'm sure you don't want to see the world in chaos! "
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Marquis!" Feng Wende straightened up.
At this moment.
Marquis Beiyun had turned around again. He looked at the pond and smiled meaningfully. "Do you really think that the Human Emperor doesn't have the ability to suppress the world because he's old? You've underestimated him."
At this point, he withdrew his gaze from the pond and turned around to look at Feng Wende.
"Even with the Demon Race behind him, Gu Changqing is still hiding in the Thousand Mountains Prefecture. Do you really think that Yan Caizhe alone can stop the Demon Race and Gu Changqing from joining forces?"
"If Gu Changqing really wants to take over the Thousand Mountains Prefecture, he has a chance. However, he's still hiding in one place. He's just testing the imperial court."
For Marquis Qianshan.
Marquis Beiyun understood.
Although the Inhumans had caused chaos in the rear, it was just a small matter. It couldn't shake the foundation at all.
In his opinion.
With the power of Marquis Qianshan and the Demon Race, Yan Caizhe and the others were no match for them at all.
They hadn't done anything yet.
It was because of the Human Emperor's existence.
It was true that the Human Emperor was nearing the end of his lifespan!
However, he hadn't really died yet.
As long as he was in power.
Even if the Demon Race wanted to go against the imperial court, they had to consider whether they could bear the price.
Therefore …
Until now, the Demon Race hadn't really shown up. They were only helping in secret.
As for Marquis Qianshan.
Marquis Beiyun guessed that the other party must have prepared a backup plan.
The rebellion now.
They were just testing the imperial court to see how much power they had.
Feng Wende's heart skipped a beat.
It was obvious.
Marquis Beiyun was much more far-sighted than him on this issue.
Marquis Beiyun turned a blind eye to this. He smiled faintly and said, "Gu Changqing isn't the only one keeping an eye on the Great Zhao. He's just the first to jump out. Don't underestimate the world.
This time, the Beiyun Mansion is taking action. Firstly, it's to obey the imperial court. Secondly, it's a good opportunity to see if we can force the Demon Race behind Gu Changqing out. "
Many people wanted to see.
What was Marquis Qianshan hiding behind him?
Marquis Beiyun didn't mind being the first to help under the imperial court's edict. At the same time, he wanted to force Marquis Qianshan and test his limits.
"I was muddle-headed!"
"No, you're not muddle-headed. I really want to know who sent you here."
"What do you mean, Marquis?" Feng Wende was confused.
Marquis Beiyun's smile faded a little. He looked at the other party's confused expression and said calmly, "It's fine if you don't want to admit it. I don't need too much evidence."
Whoosh!
With that, Feng Wende's expression changed abruptly. Like an arrow leaving the bow, he shot towards the void without even thinking about it.
