Ever since the mutiny, Wu Zhi had held the position of the Wu Family Head in his hands besides his official duties.
In this era, the Family Head had a lot of power. He could really open an ancestral hall and beat the incorrigible members to death!
This was an internal matter of the Wu Family. No one could say anything about it.
Ceng Yu immediately knew that Wu Zhi was quite dissatisfied with some people in the Wu Family.
'Although … as the Family Head, marrying someone from another family and keeping her position … is against the rules. But if you want to pursue this matter, you have to deal with the military governor's tens of thousands of soldiers first …'
Ceng Yu broke out in cold sweat and cursed in her heart. She wished she hadn't heard these words at all.
After all, it was common sense that strangers shouldn't get close to each other. If she got involved in this matter, she would be in trouble in the future.
Creak!
At this time, the door opened and a Fire Phoenix Battalion guard stepped forward and bowed. "General! Young Master has come out of seclusion and summoned Guard Wu back! "
These Fire Phoenix Battalion guards were raised by Wu Zhi from a young age and trained personally. They were extremely loyal and were usually addressed as' General 'or' General '. Some of the older people even called them Miss. They were the closest and most loyal to Wu Zhi.
After becoming the military governor's guard, their authority was not small.
"Oh? My husband has finally come out of seclusion? "
Wu Zhi smiled. She naturally knew that her husband had some secrets and had disappeared for a period of time. But as a Perfected Daoist, it was understandable.
But thinking of the newlyweds, she couldn't help but grumble a little. She was persuaded by Wu Qing.
At this time, she didn't show it on her face and said to Ceng Yu, "It's almost the end of the year. As a bride, I haven't fulfilled my duties. It's my fault. I should go back and prepare … Chief Ceng, I'll leave the Wu Residence to you!"
"Yes!"
Ceng Yu bowed and watched Wu Zhi leave. Only when he was out of her sight did she stand up and sigh.
…
"Go!"
A moment later, a group of more than a hundred Fire Phoenix Battalion cavalrymen surrounded Wu Zhi and galloped towards the Wu Family Fortress. The women were valiant as they shouted and rode on the horses. It was a unique scene that was rarely seen outside.
"Tsk tsk … I've long heard that the women of the Wu Clan are not inferior to men. Now that I've seen it for myself, Lord Regional Commander is truly majestic. You bring shame to us men …"
On the main road of the county city, in a restaurant facing the street, the window was opened. Seeing the dust flying past, a scholarly youth dressed in a green robe clicked his tongue in wonder.
The private room was extremely quiet. A banquet was laid out on the table, and the aroma of roasted lamb, drunken fish, and braised meat filled the air. There were also two pots of aged wine, and the mellow fragrance permeated the air. No matter where it was, it would be quite presentable.
However, there were only two people enjoying such a huge banquet. The other person was constantly drinking to drown his sorrows, appearing rather dispirited.
"This time, the Wu family has consecutively taken down two counties and shocked Dingzhou. In the future, they will certainly sweep through thousands of li and achieve hegemony, bringing honor to their ancestors. Brother Wu Lie, why are you acting like this?"
Seeing this, a smile flashed in the young scholar's eyes and he intentionally asked.
"You already know the answer!"
Wu Lie looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and there was still some fine hair on his lips. Although he had lived like a prince, his eyes had long since drooped with dark circles, and he seemed to be addicted to wine and women. "This cousin of mine … Everything is good! However, she is too arrogant! She actually imprisoned her father and brother, not her son! "
"Brother Wu, be careful with your words!"
The scholar pretended to turn pale with fright and seemed to be a little hesitant. "Even if the daughter of the Wu family is arrogant, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?"
"How can this be false?"
Wu Lie had drunk too much, and he immediately did not control his mouth. "That day, when we seized the throne, there were hundreds of people in the Wu family. Which one of us did not see it? It was only a few elders who drank some unknown potion and fawned on those in power. They made our Wu family the laughingstock of the world! "
This complaint was not false. Wu Zhi's reputation of being a wuss had spread throughout the world, causing people to condemn him. Inevitably, the men of the Wu family were labeled as' incompetent 'and' letting women climb on top of their heads'. Although they did not dare to say it out loud within the two counties, the strange gazes still made Wu Lie feel rather embarrassed.
At this moment, with the help of the alcohol, he immediately acted up. "Hehe … So what if you have conquered two counties? You can't wait to marry into the Wu family. It's obvious that you are in love and want to give the family business to an outsider … Alas! It's a pity that the ancestors of the Wu family have gone through many difficulties and accumulated the family business for generations, but that bitch … "
"Brother Wu, hold on! Hold on! "
Hearing Wu Lie's voice become louder and louder, the scholar immediately went forward and covered his mouth.
"Come, come! Drink! Drink! "
Only when he was done did the scholar wipe his sweat and continue to urge him to drink. Only when he was completely drunk did he casually say, "However … the Military Governor has married a country bumpkin. I don't know how that son of the Wu family managed to bewitch you to such an extent. If there are any changes in the future, for the sake of the family business, you should consider …"
"What else can he do? Nothing more than … "
Wu Lie's lips curled into a lewd smile that all men understood, but it immediately turned into anger. He suddenly slammed the table and stood up. "What virtue does that son of the Wu family have? How dare he covet the great Wu family business? "
"Mister Zou, look at this. The Wax Festival is a big event at the end of the year. That bitch, as the head of a clan, actually didn't return to the Wu family to preside over the ceremony. Instead, she rushed to the Wu family to be the bride … Hehe … What a lunatic …"
'That's easy for you to say. Wu Zhi is married into the Wu family. If he doesn't go to the Wu family to help out at the end of the year, does he want to return to the Wu family?
Mister Zou secretly criticized him, but he naturally put on a righteous face to fan the flames.
"That's right!"
Wu Lie immediately fell into the trap and became excited. "The son of the Wu family, in the name of marrying a daughter, is actually a son-in-law. How dare he covet the foundation of the Wu family? I should go and scold him. This is in line with the etiquette of the Wu family. I don't think that bitch will be able to say anything! "
"When that bitch loses all her face, force her to return to the Wu family, mobilize the people to open the ancestral hall, list her sins, and take away her position …"
As he spoke, his face became even redder. It was obvious that he also coveted the position of the provincial governor.
In the end, he even became more and more excited, as if he could not wait to go back and make connections.
…
"Hey! Unable to accomplish anything, but more than enough to spoil things! "
After Wu Lie left, Mister Zou did not move. After a while, the original screen opened, and a man in black walked out. "This is the connection you found? Isn't it too stupid? "
"Deacon, don't worry. There is more than one person in the Wu family who is dissatisfied with Wu Zhi. I have already roped in three people. When the time comes, we can make connections and create some trouble for Wu Zhi!"
Mister Zou said confidently. "This woman did not get her position properly, and she is biased towards outsiders. What can we do if we really make a ruckus in the ancestral hall of the Wu family?"
"Hey! This woman first killed the Lord's beloved son, and then fanned the flames everywhere. Indeed, she should be eliminated! "
The man in black said, "Go and continue with the plan. Also, bribe the people in the Wu family to leak information … When my Lord's army arrives at the border and kills Wu Zhi in one fell swoop, you and I will have made great contributions!"
"Yes!"
Mister Zou bowed and retreated with a little excitement.
The man in black waited for a while, but sighed silently.
How could the truth be as good as what he had said? In fact, Wu Zhi had many tricks up his sleeves, and his Lord was already in a difficult situation. The strength of the two counties was not just for show. Once the people's hearts were set, and the army was united, his side would immediately be in danger of being overturned!
That was why he did not hesitate to use the spies and order them to create chaos, in order to delay Wu Zhi's pace.
"Sigh … A good bird chooses a tree to nest in. Since the Lord lost his beloved son, he has become more and more capricious. He is not a wise ruler. Should we look for another one first?"
The eyes of the man in black flickered, and then turned into a wry smile.
Although in troubled times, the scholars in the world wandered everywhere and had a high degree of autonomy, the civil and military officials on the surface could turn to another wise ruler. Only the people in the dark like them could not be trusted no matter where they went. If the cunning hare was killed, the hound would be cooked. They could only hide their names and live a good life.
…
After Wu Zhi returned, he was naturally intimate with Wu Ming again.
Wu Tiehu also acted very quickly. In just a few days, he immediately got a reply.
"Master, my men have rushed to the place you mentioned. What they saw was only a pile of broken walls. It seems to be the ruins of a Taoist temple. It is at least a hundred years old … According to the instructions, we dug it out!"
Wu Tiehu reported respectfully. He opened the package in his hand and presented the two things in it to Wu Ming.
A rotten smell immediately spread out with the smell of earth, which made Wu Ming frown slightly.
Immediately, he saw that in the package, there was a scroll that had already decayed, and an iron order. There were faint words on it.
"Hmm, not bad. You can leave!"
Wu Ming waved his hand.
Although he wanted to know why the master was so serious, Wu Tiehu knew his limits. He forcefully suppressed his curiosity and slowly retreated.
"I can't believe … it really is this world …"
Wu Ming flicked his sleeve, and the soil on the iron piece was removed, revealing the almost indistinguishable words "Zhaixing."
These two things were naturally not the Seven Slaughter Gourd and the Skeleton Spirit.
Things had changed with the passage of time. Wu Ming could not guarantee that no one was specifically watching these two things, nor would they act rashly.
Even the Taoist temple where the Maoshan Sutra and the iron order were buried was not the wilderness where the Maoshan Sect and Blackheart Taoist were. Instead, it was a record that he had conveniently buried in a Taoist temple during the end of the Great Shang Dynasty when he went to Dingzhou.
From the weight, materials, and even the handwriting, Wu Ming did not doubt that this was what he had buried with his own hands!
And this was even enough to prove that the previous mission he had experienced was not an illusion, but history!
"No! There are two more things. If the two magical artifacts that I have refined are also here, then I can be completely sure! "
Putting down the iron piece with traces of history, Wu Ming actually had a guess. "Every mission world in the main shrine is real?"
"But this instance of the chaos of the Great Shang Dynasty is too mysterious. It actually forcefully distorted time and space? Judging from the damage to the main shrine, it doesn't seem worth it. Then there can only be one reason! "
"This was deliberately done by someone else!"
