Chapter 1575: Wang Chong's Action!
? Chapter 1575
"Young Master still feels threatened by that one. Since childhood, Young Master has always been smooth sailing, and was hailed by the old master as the peerless one in the sky. But this time, Young Master has really met his opponent."
Behind, Songlao muttered to himself. Both Shengyu and He Shengliang, the young master and that one seem to be incompatible with each other, both of them are too strong and outstanding, the world cannot accommodate two such people.
"No matter what, we must find a way to help the young master and kill that Wang Chong."
Elder Song secretly said in his heart.
While thinking, suddenly a familiar figure hurried in.
"My lord, there is news from the First Prince again. This is already the fourth time this month."
As soon as Sword Demon came in, he spoke directly.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the entire hall fell silent. Elder Song, the girl in white, including Li Junxian and Li Qing, all of them changed their expressions slightly, and the atmosphere was completely different from just now.
"Brother, do we really not agree to him in this matter? He is the eldest prince, the future prince, if we offend him, we're afraid..."
At the right rear, the girl in white was hesitant to speak, and her expression seemed to have great scruples.
The First Prince has an extraordinary status. Without his support this time, the ambitions and dreams of the Confucian School would be very difficult to implement. It would be absolutely unwise to reject him at this time.
The others all looked silent. How could they not know what the woman in white said, but that matter...
"Junior Sister!"
Li Junxian said, and slowly stood up from behind the table.
"The Confucian school has the rules of the Confucian school, not to participate in the dispute of the prince. This is the rule established by the heads of the Confucian school in the past, and it is also the purpose of the Confucian school in life. Only by not getting involved in the imperial power can it be possible to transcend the imperial power. This is our Confucianism. Regardless of the change of dynasties, the door can quickly establish contact with the king at that time and get their approval and help."
"The eldest prince has indeed helped us, and he is the future heir. It is true. It is all right if he succeeds. If he fails, our Confucian school will probably be extinct from now on. Therefore, the eldest prince asks us to do whatever we want. Can not agree.
"
Li Junxian said in a deep voice.
"The rules of the sect cannot be broken, and this point cannot be mentioned again in the future!"
At this time, Elder Song also spoke.
The girl in white knew she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly lowered her head.
"Senior brother, elder, I was wrong, and I will never mention this matter again in the future."
The girl's voice was as thin as a mosquito, inaudible.
"My lord, how should we reply to the First Prince?"
Sword Demon suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention back.
"Draft a letter for me, the same sentence, if the eldest prince ascends the throne, our Confucian sect will fully support it."
Li Junxian stood with his head held high, and said with one hammer.
...
Although the news of Wang Chong's return to the capital was not fanfare, it was still spread quickly among those interested in the Wang family in a certain way.
Huser Street and Pipa Lane were only a few blocks away from Wang Chong when he first saw the big gold tooth. A barbarian wrapped in a thick robe rushed through the crowd and walked in.
Around him, there were a lot of Hu people talking loudly and endlessly, much more than ever before.
Although there used to be many barbarians living in Huser Street, they only accounted for less than 20% of the basic population, but now, as far as the eye can see, almost all of them are barbarians.
"Boom boom boom!"
The barbarian walked through the streets, entered the depths of the alley, stopped in front of a door with an obvious exotic style, and slammed on the door.
On the golden lacquered gate, a door was opened, and an eye flickered in the door, and soon a barbarian led the barbarian in.
"My lord, I just received news that Wang Chong has returned to Beijing. Besides, we still don't know his whereabouts."
As soon as the barbarian stepped into the room, he immediately bowed and said.
The room was pitch black, without any light, making one think that this barbarian was talking to himself. But soon, a little light rose in the room, and not far from the barbarian, a curtain hung down, and a tall figure was faintly outlined behind it.
The right palm of that tall figure stretched out, five fingers spread out, and an egg-sized luminous pearl in the palm exuded soft brilliance, and the light in the room was emitted by this luminous pearl.
"Is there any movement in the Wang family?"
Soon, a hoarse, hoarse voice sounded in the room. The voice was vague and erratic, giving people an extremely weird feeling.
"Not yet, but my lord, the foreign king has always been quite hostile to us Hu people, and he has always been the most staunch militant faction in Datang, and has always advocated the active use of troops against us Hu people. This time, he will come back, I am afraid he will be very hostile to us. Very unfavorable!"
Speaking of the king of foreign lands, the barbarian spy clearly revealed a deep fear.
Following the two battles between the Southwest and Talas, the number of Hu people who died at the hands of Wang Chong has reached a million. The current foreign king is simply a nightmare existence in the hearts of all Hu people. In some Hu people's countries, the words "Wang Chong, the Great General of Central Earth" can even stop children from crying at night.
"Hehe, it's good that he's back."
At this moment, behind the hanging curtain, there was a sudden burst of strange laughter.
"When he comes back, we can fish in troubled waters, add fuel to the flames, and completely disrupt Datang. And we don't need to worry about his return to Beijing. There are a lot of people who are more worried than us. Let the Confucian sect worry about this first. !"
"Also, how is our plan going?"
Behind the curtain, the man spoke.
"My lord, we have already started to act. So far, there are 50,000 of our troops in the capital. In addition, we have bought more than 3,000 shops in the capital. With this wave of cover, we have collected a large number of people. Intelligence. A lot of intelligence has been sent back to various countries.”
The barbarian spy lowered his head and said respectfully, with extreme respect in his voice.
"Hmph, good! Let's just sit and watch the Great Tang*! Let's reap the benefits of the fisherman. Now that the foreign king has returned to Beijing, the world of the Great Tang may change! Thinking about it, it's really exciting. !"
The man sneered like a night owl, but after a while, his voice became lower and lower, and finally, with a flash of light, even the brilliance of the night pearl disappeared. The entire room returned to darkness again, and the man's breath disappeared instantly.
...
Time passed slowly, and the news of Wang Chong's return to the capital spread quietly among the capital. The entire capital suddenly became turbulent. Countless eyes were paying attention to the battle between soldiers and Confucianists, and they were all looking forward to Wang Chong's follow-up movement. The atmosphere gradually became subtle without knowing it.
On Suzaku Street, there was a lot of traffic. No matter how the politics of the empire changed, for ordinary people and merchants, as long as the Tang Dynasty did not collapse, their lives would not change much, and they would still be prosperous and healthy.
But at this moment, the Star-Zhai Building in the capital ushered in a special guest.
This man was dressed in brocade clothes, with a bamboo hat on his head, and the black curtain was hanging down, so that people could not see his face clearly, but a four-foot-long sword with fish pattern hanging on his waist clearly showed the identity of the other party Extraordinary, rich or expensive. With his head slightly lowered, he stepped over the threshold, went up the stairs, and finally entered a secret private room on the third floor.
"coming!"
Just as this person stepped into the private room, a voice sounded from the room he stepped into with his back turned to the door.
"Here we come, Lord Hou has been waiting for a long time!"
With a flick of the man's finger, the bamboo hat on top of his head flew out, and landed on one of the chairs without leaning to one side.
The face under the bamboo hat is vicissitudes but resolute, decisive and majestic, revealing a taste of iron and blood that has gone through the battlefield, and also a kind of nobility and elegance that ordinary generals do not have. It is Zhao Fengchen, the commander of the imperial army.
"I just asked you to meet, do I need to dress up like this?"
Behind the chair, the owner turned around, and it was Wang Chong.
After experiencing the Battle of Talas, it has been several months since the end of the war. Because Zhao Fengchen was a forbidden soldier, he was successfully recalled to the palace. Even though they hadn't seen each other for several months, they still maintained their original friendship.
"There is no way! There is a lot of turmoil in the palace now, and when it comes to the dispute between the princes, everyone will turn pale when talking about it, lest they will be involved in it."
Zhao Fengchen gave a wry smile, flicked his robe, and sat down opposite Wang Chong.
"So, you have heard about the Fifth Prince, right?"
Wang Chong asked.
This time he specially invited Zhao Fengchen, just for the fifth prince Li Heng. Although some sectarian masters have been recruited to protect Li Heng, this is a bad strategy after all, and it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If you don't find out the real origins of those assassins, you will only be exhausted. No matter how many experts are sent to protect Li Heng, it will be useless.
"Um."
Hearing Wang Chong talk about business, Zhao Fengchen nodded, and his face became serious:
"Not many people in the palace know about this matter, and the eldest prince seems to want to suppress it on purpose, but the prince was assassinated in the palace, after all, it is not a small matter. Moreover, there are guards walking around everywhere in the palace Brother, this matter is not as secret as imagined."
"You are the commander of the imperial army, and you are responsible for protecting the safety of the palace. Don't you have any clues about those assassins?"
Wang Chong said.
"Things are not that simple. The eldest prince knows the relationship between me and you, so long before this time, I was transferred out of the original protective area. The bedroom of the fifth prince is now under the responsibility of another commander. The palace The security is tight, and the areas in charge of each are clearly separated, even if it is me, there are some places where I can't trespass."
"...In addition, although this matter is secret, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is related to the dispute between the princes. The high-level generals in the forbidden army are all talking about it now, and no one dares to intervene in this matter!"
Zhao Fengchen said in a deep voice.
The battle between the princes is very dangerous, not only the aristocratic families have turned pale, everyone is full of fear, even they, the commanders of the forbidden army, are also like this. After all, there is not only one of them commander of the imperial army.
