Chapter 478 The First Batch of Leeks Harvested by Xu Xin
"Gui Hai Yi Dao, I have given you the road. Whether you can walk or not is your business. I am looking forward to how far the magic sword can reach its ultimate level. Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang also seem to have become different. Yes, is it my influence..."
Outside the State Guesthouse, Xu Xin's figure suddenly appeared. Looking at the three secret agents who were leaving, his eyes were particularly meaningful.
The world has changed since the beginning of Xu Xin's arrival. The most obvious change is the East China Sea treasure incident more than 20 years ago.
Xu Xin created a fictional big treasure and spread out a large number of secrets mixed with the martial arts of the other two worlds. After more than twenty years of development, the martial arts of this world have undergone some changes.
Among the secret books that were spread in the past, Xu Xin always had back-ups. Unless someone could reach a height that surpassed Xu Xin's, they could completely crack those back-ups.
Otherwise, as long as you practice the martial arts in those secret books, or use certain martial arts concepts for your own use, you will easily be caught in a flaw when fighting against Xu, and you will become a leek at his mercy.
Leeks can be harvested one after another, gradually harvesting more fruits. After twenty years of planning, the first crop of leeks is almost ready to be harvested, such as the thirty-six Tiangang, seventy-two earth evils trained by Tiedan Shenhou.
The most important leeks among them are top masters such as Zhu Wuwu, Gu Santong, and Xiangxi Sigui. However, the order of harvesting by these masters needs to be paid attention to. If the plot develops smoothly, Xu will only need to harvest Zhu Wuwu in the end. alright.
Xu Xin was calculating the harvest of the first crop of "leeks". After wandering around the capital, he returned to the Wang family's mansion and loosened the soil and watered the head of the big leek tree in Gu Santong. , and then went back to sleep with his beautiful wife in his arms.
He slept peacefully here, but the whole capital had been turned upside down that night.
The palace was invaded by assassins and the empress dowager disappeared. Cao Zhengchun, who was in charge of guarding the palace, was busy all night and led a group of Dongchang men around to find out the news.
Zhu Wuwu also sent Ouchi spies from Hulong Villa to search for information. In fact, he was just pretending. After all, it was all planned and arranged by him.
After the three secret agents and Iron Claw Flying Eagle each returned to report the news, Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wuwu quickly went to the "Leopard Garden" palace to report the latest news to Emperor Zhu Houzhao.
The "Leopard Garden" palace was built after Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne. He was not used to living in the inner garden of the palace, so he built another palace on his own, and he mostly rested here on weekdays.
An assassin appeared in the palace in the middle of the night and abducted the Queen Mother. This incident had already made Zhu Houzhao extremely angry. Now that he learned that Ouchi secret agents and people from Dongchang actually went to disturb the Wang family and the State Guesthouse, his anger was even more difficult to suppress.
"What's going on with Dongchang and Ouchi's spies? I asked you to find the Queen Mother, why did you go to the palace? And disturbed the Grand Master?"
"Are all of you brainless?"
In the end, Zhu Houzhao almost pointed at Cao Zhengchun's nose and cursed. In fact, if he had a choice, he would rather point at Zhu Wuwang's nose and curse, but the conditions did not allow it!
Although Cao Zhengchun has a noble family, he is still a slave of the emperor, so he will scold him. Although Zhu Mingwu has never entered the clan registration in the clan mansion, he is recognized by the court as a genuine uncle of the Ming Dynasty. His Elders, no matter how angry the emperor is, he still has to be careful.
Of course, when he cursed, he cursed both people.
Cao Zhengchun lowered his head and kept answering. What happened tonight was indeed his Dongchang's fault and he couldn't get rid of it. Zhu Wuwu lowered his head and went down. If he didn't lower his head, he was afraid that he would not be able to help showing murderous intent in front of the little emperor.
After Xu Xin left the Central Plains, Zhu Wuli's power expanded the most, which is why the little emperor used Cao Zhengchun to suppress him. This was due to Zhu Wuli's reservations and not exposing his relationship with Wan Sanqian. If it were to be exposed, he would have covered the sky with one hand in the court.
Zhu Wuwu is still dormant now because he wants to cherish his feathers and his reputation, and wants to get rid of Cao Zhengchun justifiably, and then discredit the little emperor and seek to usurp the throne at the minimum cost.
Direct rebellion to seize the throne, although with the strength he has accumulated now, he has a high chance of winning, but the reputation is not justified, and it will be difficult for the vassal kings in various places to deal with it.
Xu's strategy of founding the feudal vassal led to the emergence of many powerful feudal states in the border areas, many of which were the descendants of Emperor Chenghua who were recorded in the genealogy. If you pick any one, they will be more legitimate than this illegitimate prince. When these people come to compete for the throne again, he will be in even greater trouble.
"If those assassins can run into Cining Palace tonight and kidnap the Queen Mother, they can come and assassinate me tomorrow. This is how you protect my safety..."
Zhu Houzhao sternly scolded the two of them. He was naturally concerned about the safety of the Queen Mother, but what made him even more angry was, why could the assassin succeed? Since the assassin could kidnap the Queen Mother, what would be the result if he attacked the emperor? In this way, his safety cannot be guaranteed!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I deserve death for my crime! I deserve death for my crime!"
When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he quickly knelt down, and a group of Dongchang masters led by Iron Claw Flying Eagle also knelt neatly outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, this matter is due to my stupidity. I heard the signal from the police post in the middle of the night and knew that assassins had broken into the palace. I rushed out to hunt for it myself. Unexpectedly, I fell into his trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Although I killed seven assassins on the spot, I couldn't. Five other masters broke into Cining Palace..."
"When I arrived, the Queen Mother was no longer in the palace. And I suspect that there must be spies in the palace, otherwise how could they come and go freely in such a huge palace?"
Cao Zhengchun knew that he could not escape the blame, and he quickly laid out all the doubts about the matter. There must be spies in tonight's incident, but he currently has no clues and can't guess who is behind this matter.
"Go down and do the work quickly, and make sure to find the Queen Mother's trace as soon as possible..."
The emperor ordered Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wushi to go and do the work, and he also arranged people to look for information everywhere.
The capital was in chaos that night. In the next few days, the Jinyiwei and the East Factory launched a large-scale search throughout the city, causing the capital to panic and the situation became more and more chaotic, but these things had nothing to do with Xu Xin. For the time being, he was just back to watch the show.
The chaos in Beijing was everywhere, and the struggle in the court was still going on.
The Queen Mother disappeared, but the princess of a small country in the State Guesthouse asked to see the Queen Mother and give her gifts. Then Cao Zhengchun and Cheng Shifei, who sneaked into the palace, pretended to be the Queen Mother to deal with the matter.
Then Zhu Wusi met Cheng Shifei again and found that he had inherited Gu Santong's martial arts. However, Cheng Shifei, who had been dormant in the palace for a while, had already digested part of Gu Santong's skills. After dealing with Zhu Wusi, he escaped from the palace.
Not long after Cheng Shifei escaped from the palace, someone found him and led him all the way to the State Guesthouse, where they found the Queen Mother Zhang trapped in a large jar.
And it was on this night that the "fake Wuwan" under Zhu Wusi became the first batch of leeks harvested by Xu Xin, which was also his honor.
