Chapter 573: The People From Jingyesi All Arrived, All of Them Are Pawns in Daqian’s Plan, the Versatile Taoist Master Yi!

At night, the moonlight is like frost.

Qingshui County, Jingyesi Yamen.

The cold raindrops mercilessly hit the banana leaves outside the house, making a crisp clacking sound, and the bright light reflected two black sitting human silhouettes on the windowsill.

At this moment, two figures in the room are drinking tea.

One of them is dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a tall hat and a wide belt, but the beard on his face is quite strange.

The other one is a big man with a strong figure and a beard.

"Eunuch Wu, an urgent report came from Yangcheng. The situation is critical. It is said that traces of ghost worshippers have been found. Why have you been stopping me from sending capable people to investigate?"

"If we delay any longer, it will be too late. We should act quickly rather than slowly!"

"It is said that many people in Yangcheng have been found to be infected with the black mark. If the situation is allowed to develop, the 200,000 people in Yangcheng will be finished."

As the current chief officer of the Jingye Division of Qingshui County, Tieshi couldn't help but question the 'scholar' in front of him, and his voice could not help but rise three points due to his anxiety.

"Chase? Why? Isn't it better to let those crooked people go?"

"Why, Tieshi, are you questioning me, or the secret order from the Daqian Cabinet?"

The 'scholar' glanced at the big man in front of him, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face. Then he thought of the complicated relationship between the Tie family and the Jingye Division, but he smiled, and the ice on his face melted immediately. He smiled and pointed out:

"Master Tie, I came here secretly with a secret order from the Central Government. You should know that I Even if there are ten heads, they dare not forge a secret order from the Cabinet. "

"The matter of Yangcheng is not rare for Daqian now. Tieshi, you only see a corner of Qingshui County, but not the whole Daqian. You don't know the difficulties of the court officials. "

"If we put enough effort into the matter of Yangcheng, we can naturally solve it, but what about the future?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar called Wu Gonggong by the big man is now speaking in a duck voice and sneered.

"What future? Why do you say that, eunuch? We have Tianxing Sect and Yanyue Sect to suppress the destiny of Hezhou in Donglu. Whether it is the Worship of Ghosts or the True Blood Sect, as long as they dare to invade our borders, we will give them a head-on blow as before. What future do you consider?"

"Eunuch, why don't you make your words more clear?"

At this moment, facing the explanation given by the middle-aged Confucian scholar, Tieshi's face showed a puzzled look.

"Haha, so I said that you only see this corner of Qingshui County and can't see the whole world. Well, Tieshi, you are also from a noble family. For the sake of Lord Tie Zongsi, I will say a few more words to you."

"Today is different from the past. Now, the times have changed."

"The power of the stars is declining, while the power of the Ghost Worship Sect and the True Blood Sect is recovering. The masters of our dynasty have already found out that the ancestors of the Ghost Worship Sect and the True Blood Sect who were suppressed in the past have now shown signs of recovery. Tell me, how should our Daqian deal with it in the future?"

"Our Daqian is facing the front of the Ghost Worship Sect and the True Blood Sect. Tieshi, do you want our Daqian to shed the last drop of blood for the Tianxing Sect and the Yanyue Sect?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at Tieshi with a puzzled look on his face, and his tone was cold.

Tieshi was silent for a long while, then he raised his head with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice:

"So, according to what the father-in-law said, now the noble families and Daqian have decided to completely stand on the side of the aliens?"

"Stupid!"

"Tieshi, you are loyal and brave, but you lack wisdom. We in Daqian are neither on the side of the aliens nor on the side of the Tianxing Sect. We in Daqian only want to preserve our ancestral foundation and stand on the side of the winners."

"Now the leader of the Ghost Worship Sect and the leader of the True Blood Sect are both geniuses, and this is also the tacit understanding between us in Daqian and them."

"Let's give up the border land and let the Tianxing Sect fight them. Kill them until the sky is dark. Even if the Tianxing Sect wants us to turn against the Ghost Worship Sect, they must show enough sincerity and can't just give us a few melons and dates as before."

"I might as well tell you that there are more special envoys like me now."

At this moment, the middle-aged scholar's face was indifferent. He sat upright and looked like a chess player, and the people on the border of Daqian were chess pieces.

"Eunuch, how can we believe the words of aliens?" Tieshi said with difficulty, with a look of disbelief on his face, as if he was unwilling to accept the truth.

"Whether you believe it or not, it's not up to you, Tieshi, to decide. Besides, we in Daqian naturally have experts who have obtained reliable guarantees from other places."

"If the flag on the city wall changes the next day, our Daqian will still stand firm in this land of Donglu, and will be immortal for thousands of years."

"And if the Tianxing Sect gains the upper hand, we can also change our ways immediately. As a price, this head of ours is a gift to the Tianxing Sect. It is because of the eunuchs who are in charge that things are like this."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar took a sip of the fragrant tea on the table, and then continued slowly,

"Moreover, we are not biased towards either side, we just don't help either side."

"In the future, even if the Tianxing Sect asks about it, we will have something to say. For Yangcheng, didn't we also send a team of people to support it?"

"We don't care about anything, that's a matter of attitude, but if we really can't spare any manpower, then it's not our Daqian's fault."

"You want the horse to run, but you also want the horse to stop eating grass. How can it be so cheap?"

"Father, is there really no room for change? If this happens, many people will die."

"Countless people will die in this catastrophe."

Iron Lion clasped his hands in his sleeves, his knuckles turning pale from excessive force, and he spoke again.

This time, the middle-aged scholar fell silent when he heard Iron Lion's hissing words. After a while, he raised his head and said:

"Iron Lion, maybe this is life."

"These people on the border are bargaining chips, so our family is just a pawn who was pushed out."

"When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves!"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar put the tea cup down heavily and continued talking. The tea soup stirred up actually wet the table.

"Eunuch, the Tianxing Sect is not a fool and will not allow us to act in such a divisive manner!" Iron Lion searched his guts and finally found a reason to continue asking.

"Tie Shi, do you think you are the only good person who cares about the people of Yangcheng, and our family is the ruthless and evil people? Our family is also from Qingshui County. People are not grass and trees. Who can be ruthless? However, there is no way. This is the imperial court The matter decided by Gong Gong."

"I can tell you another piece of news. Not only our Daqian, but now more than half of the sects on the Eastern Continent are also watching from the sidelines like our Daqian. Some of them are even directly collaborating with the Ghost Worship Cult."

"If you really want to be more serious, we will still lose face if we do it."

"The Tianxing Sect and the Hidden Moon Sect are not gods. If they really want to go to war, then there is no need to fight this war. The entire Eastern Continent will be in chaos in an instant, and there will be war everywhere."

"Furthermore, the Tianxing Sect and the Hidden Moon Sect have been at the top for a long time, and the Gonggun Lords have tolerated them for a long time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Of course, in order to avoid being shot first, His Majesty has a decree. We can open the treasury, use treasures and jade coins as rewards, and privately invite heroes who are willing to oppose the Ghost Worship Cult and the True Blood Cult to quell the chaos. "

"As long as they are not afraid of making money with their lives but not spending them."

"In short, the elite of Daqian cannot move forward for others and die in the dark night before dawn. This is the cost of bargaining with several major forces in the future."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar took a deep look at the man in front of him and saw that his eyes were red and his eyes were about to burst. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel pity.

He gently patted the shoulder of the lion-like man in front of him and said:

"Iron Lion, you are a loyal and brave man, but people who are only loyal and brave often don't live long."

"Today my father-in-law gives you four words - things will go well if things are slow!"

"Don't be too pessimistic. People will die for money, and birds will die for food. With a heavy reward, we can invite the masters among the casual cultivators to take a dip in this muddy water."

"In this way, we can have an explanation no matter to the people, to the Tianxing Sect, to the court, or even to the aliens on the other side of the continent."

"I have accumulated jade coins, treasures, elixirs, and magical instruments for countless years, aren't I just preparing to use them at times like this?"

"So, wait and see, don't do anything stupid. Your skin as a member of the Tie family means nothing under the current great changes!"

After warning Iron Lion again, the middle-aged Confucian scholar flicked his sleeves and strode out of the room immediately, leaving Iron Lion alone in the room in silence. As the candlelight flickered, his upright back could not help but become slightly rickety. stand up.

——

The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.

Today's Yangcheng is particularly lively.

When the sun was high in the sky, another column of people and horses came galloping from a distance.

The leader was as thin as a hemp pole, as if the wind could break his slender waist.

Behind him were seven or eight gray-haired fans, in a scattered formation, looking left and right. If Yi Chen were here, he would definitely know that this kind of people have a unified label, called Laoyoutiao.

But of course Yi Chen couldn't see this scene, because at this moment he had drifted to Huamanlou and lost contact.

Although today was the day when he mortgaged his house to the three major families in Yangcheng, the three major families in Yangcheng were already having a party today, so naturally no one bothered him with the contract.

Of course, Yichen is not afraid if they really have this intention. The land deed he wrote that day was written in advance after a lot of tinkering and manipulation.

This method is called chemistry. It is a small formula that Yi Chen accidentally saw in his previous life. The function is also very simple. If Yi Chen guessed correctly, if someone from the three families now opens the mortgage document, they will find that there is no hair on it. It's just a blank sheet of paper.

There is no way, who told him that Yi Chengzi was such a prison-type talent in his previous life, and his amazing wisdom has already overflowed. Although this skill was not used in his previous life, he can use it now. This is called having too many skills but not being overwhelmed.
