Chapter 1176 Yan Yang Arrives
On the top of the mountain, inside the marshal's army tent.
At this moment, there are quite a lot of people here. Not only are there Ku, there are even six generals here. Looking at the shadow on the ground, it was obvious that the leader of the Intelligence Department, Phantom, was also here.
What is going on in the military tent is obviously an eight-day high-level meeting of the Western military. But now, this meeting has actually been going on for a while. What was being discussed at the meeting was actually Huan Yin, the "roving envoy".
It has been half a year since Huan Yin agreed to return, but Huan Yin has not returned yet, which makes Ku Yue feel that something is not right. Even though he kept letting Phantom keep his eyes on the East Royal Palace, Phantom kept saying that he didn't find anything strange, but he was always worried. Especially recently, Ku feels uncomfortable all over, as if a disaster is coming.
Ku also knew that this was not a problem that should arise for a dignified military general. After all, this was too unbearable. However, he still couldn't calm down after all, so today he finally called the generals and Phantom over to discuss countermeasures.
The discussion has been going on for a while, and after this discussion, I don't know whether it was Kong who was deliberately guiding or whether it was because things were really not going right. However, everyone felt more and more that something seemed wrong. I just wanted to say specifically what was wrong, but no one could say it, let alone provide any evidence.
"In my opinion, we should just go and destroy the Yan family, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Under the tent, a tall and tall general gave his advice again with a fierce glint in his eyes.
"No, if it is really destroyed, what if the patrol envoy comes back later and sees that we have killed the people the emperor named?" Another old man said, this person is Zheng Li.
"It's just a mere Yan family, do you think the emperor is really interested in it? Let's kill it first and then report it, and eliminate the trouble first. Even if the emperor blames it, it's mostly just a formality. How can we, the marshal, be taken seriously because of a mere Yan family? Is that okay?" the former argued with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"I think what Mr. Li said is not unreasonable. The previous parade brought Mr. Li too close to the Yan family. I don't know if there was any secret involvement. If something goes wrong because of this, we will all have to suffer. Let's go around. Kill the Yan family before the patrolling envoy comes back. At worst, it won't be too hard for the emperor to blame them." A middle-aged general said.
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate! If it's true that the two of them are really close to each other as you said, you have to destroy the Yan family first. That parade made the adults dissatisfied, so they returned to Central Shanxian City in front of the emperor. After talking about it in a frivolous manner, a small matter turned into a big deal. What's more, we made an agreement with the patrol envoy at the beginning that we would make a decision after he came back to see the results. Now we just deal with the Yan family. Don't you take him seriously? If you do this, you are causing trouble for yourself!" Zheng Li spoke with a somewhat anxious tone.
And just when the two parties were arguing, Ku, who was sitting at the top, suddenly made a "click" sound all over his body. As a result, the whole place fell silent instantly.
The withered body leaned forward a little, facing the phantom who had never spoken on the ground, and the light in the eye holes flickered.
The phantom twisted a few times, and then a voice appeared: "Sir, I am sure there is nothing unusual in the Yan family. Moreover, Yan Yuhong herself has not stepped out of the house for a long time. In business dealings, they also seem to have encountered problems. When it reaches the bottleneck, it is impossible to reach the level you agreed with the patrol envoy. "
Phantom's voice was loud, but she felt a little weak in her heart. In fact, although she did not notice any changes in the Yan family, nor did she notice much progress in the Yan family's business, she always felt bad. But every time she wanted to dig deeper, she couldn't find any reason.
Also, she was actually not completely sure about Donghuang Yu'er's movements. She hadn't seen Donghuang Yu'er for a long time, but she didn't find her leaving the house, so she had to give her current explanation.
There is nothing that Phantom can do. Since more than a year ago, she has been blamed many times by Kuai because of the East Royal Family matter. There were several times when Ku almost killed her. Therefore, she really didn't dare to say it. She knew that if she really said something about not feeling good, or that she hadn't seen Donghuang Yu'er for a long time and wasn't sure whether he was really there, Na Ku would definitely think that she was not doing things well enough, and even a member of the Yan family If he couldn't find out the real details, he would definitely be doomed.
"Hey, forget it. In fact, I have nothing to worry about. Now everything in the Yan family is under my surveillance. I can see it very clearly. What else can I feel bad about? Besides, even though I have Yan Yuhong I haven't seen her for a long time, but since the last time I saw her secretly, she has indeed stayed home and protected her room with a powerful formation. Wasn't Yan Yuhong poisoned before? Maybe she was poisoned again. , that’s why she didn’t leave the house. There was nothing to worry about. A living person couldn’t disappear inexplicably in the house. What’s more, although I couldn’t detect her room due to the protective power, the Yan family could not. All the signs indicate that she is indeed here. Besides, as a member of the Yan family, can she not stay at home?" Soon, Phantom comforted herself secretly. And she naturally didn't know that everything she saw in the Yan family now was just what the Shadow Lord wanted her to see. Shadow Lord is now more powerful than before, completely widening the gap with Phantom. Therefore, Phantom can no longer feel even his control in the middle.
"Is this true?" Zheng Li asked quickly after hearing what Phantom said.
Phantom naturally did not dare to hesitate and said quickly: "Does Mr. Zheng doubt my ability?"
Zheng Li burst out laughing and said: "That's right, Lord Phantom's abilities are well known to everyone. Since there is nothing unusual among the Yan family, and the Yan family's current development is completely restricted, what else do we have? Are you confused?"
At this point, Zheng Li turned to Ku and bowed: "Sir, we made an agreement with Mr. Yan, the patrolling envoy, that if the development of the Yan family does not meet the standards, he will not recommend it. I don't believe that the patrolling envoy will still recommend this kind of agreement. We will go back on our word, after all, we are all people with status, so why should we worry about it?”
The general next to him still wanted to argue something, but looking at Ku, he didn't seem to be completely convinced by Zheng Li. But at this moment, the voice of the messenger outside suddenly came into the tent: "Report! Sir, there is a patrolling messenger outside who calls himself Yanyang. Please see him!"
"Yanyang!" This sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone present and made everyone's expressions change.
"Haha, he is really here! Sir, the patrol envoy may have been delayed by something. After all, he travels in Mount Sumeru all year round, and it is inevitable that he will encounter accidents. Now that he is here, if you have any questions, why not ask him face to face Ask him again?" Zheng Li said.
Finally, he stood up in a moment, pointed at Zheng Li below, and then waved to everyone.
Everyone bowed to Ku, and then, except for Zheng Li, everyone else, including Phantom, exited the military tent in an instant, making the military tent look a little empty.
At this time, Ku raised his hand to Zheng Li again. Zheng Li immediately understood and shouted loudly outside the account: "Place tea for the guests!"
After saying that, he bowed to Ku and said: "Sir, I will go to meet Mr. Yan in person right now. Don't worry, sir, you used a heavy treasure to bribe Mr. Patrolling Envoy. That heavy treasure is far more valuable than that of the Yan family." The mere benefits given are not of the same level at all. Sir, there is no need to worry, the patrol will definitely favor us!"
