Chapter 277 Imperial Tutor
In the Yunxiang area, in Qianwu City.
It was midnight, and the guard leader Wang He hurriedly walked into a side hall of Zhengyang Palace. In the past six months, the third prince's cultivation has made great progress. In order to seek a more efficient cultivation environment, he specially set up a spirit gathering formation here and moved his daily cultivation place here.
And tonight is no exception. His Royal Highness the Third Prince is practicing in this side hall, and his cultivation seems to have reached a critical juncture. Before the formal start, he also specifically asked not to disturb him if there is no emergency.
However, this time Wang He no longer cared about the Third Prince's instructions and broke into the side hall directly.
"Your Highness, the Third Prince, something terrible has happened!"
The Third Prince was sitting in the middle of the side hall, meditating and practicing. Hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of Qi, and then asked, "What happened?"
"I heard that a long-burning lamp in the Grandmaster's Hall suddenly went out. It should be that a Grandmaster has suddenly passed away!"
The Grandmaster's Hall enshrines a number of long-burning lamps, which are lit by the Grandmaster's original spirit. Each lamp has a connection with the Grandmaster's own life. If a lamp suddenly goes out, there is only one possibility, which means that the Grandmaster has passed away.
The calm face of the third prince finally changed, and his brows furrowed: "The death of the grandmaster? Is it because the war on the northern front is tense?"
Wang He shook his head, and his voice became a little difficult: "There are only rumors about this matter at present, and I don't know the specific situation... But it is said that the state teacher has calculated this matter and said that this matter should be in the southwest direction..."
"Southwest direction?"
The third prince was slightly startled. The southwest direction was exactly the direction of Lujiang County, and he also knew that there was only one grandmaster in this direction, and that was Gao Zhengbang who came out of the mountain at his request.
"Could it be Gao Zhengbang? But... How is this possible!"
The third prince widened his eyes in astonishment. In fact, in his opinion, no matter what kind of chaos happened in Lujiang County, it was just a farce in a small fish pond. Gao Zhengbang, the grandmaster of the martial saint, was a trump card in his hand, a figure like a dragon.
How is it possible that a dignified dragon died in a small fish pond?
What's the difference between this and a boat capsizing in a gutter?
"Now that things have come to this, what else is impossible!"
Suddenly, a powerful voice came from outside, and the voice came from far away and approached, and in a blink of an eye, it had reached the door of the side hall.
Wang He was startled and hurriedly drew his sword, wanting to resist the sudden uninvited guest, but when he saw the other party's face clearly, he hurriedly stopped the sword in his hand and hurriedly put the long sword back into the scabbard.
"Grand... Grand Tutor, I am rude!" Wang He said hesitantly.
The third prince was also quite surprised and said in surprise: "Grand Tutor Zhou, why did you come here suddenly?"
The person who came was Grand Tutor Zhou Zunian, who was not only the emperor's teacher responsible for teaching the third prince, but also the uncle of the king. The third prince's biological mother, Queen Zhou, was his biological sister. Therefore, he naturally became the most powerful supporter of the Third Prince. It can be said that many supporters of the Third Prince's faction regarded him as their leader.
"Hmph! If I hadn't come, I wouldn't know
Zhou Zunian snorted heavily. Not only did he not even look at Wang He, he was also very polite to His Royal Highness the Third Prince.
Even though he was scolded like this, the Third Prince did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, but humbly asked for advice: "Why did the Grand Tutor say that?"
Zhou Zunian directly took out a talisman message and threw it in front of the Third Prince fiercely: "Look for yourself!"
The Third Prince said nothing, picked up the message talisman from the ground, glanced at it hurriedly, and his face suddenly changed.
"What? Gao Zhengbang was defeated by that scar guest, and was actually cut in half by the other party?"
"Wuyang County King actually dared to collude with the scar guest? Not only did he seize the control of the Magic Armor Corps, but he also ordered the pursuit of Lin Youlong? "
"What on earth are they trying to do? Are they planning a rebellion?"
It turned out that this message was sent back by the commander of the imperial guards, Lin Youlong, on his way to escape. The news mentioned above shocked the Third Prince.
He had never thought that the situation in Jiangzuo would be so bad, and it had become a huge quagmire.
"Rebellion?"
Zhou Zunian sneered and said, "My Third Prince, you are not the monarch yet? They are just making things difficult for you, how can you say you are rebelling? "
"What's more, tonight, an imperial official has submitted a memorial to the emperor, saying that Lin Youlong was not in charge of the imperial guards properly and abused his power for personal gain, which led to the mutiny of the magic armor corps. Fortunately, the prince of Wuyang was so heroic and managed to turn the tide, and finally subdued the mutinous corps and prevented a disaster from happening..."
"Don't say that Lin Youlong is still running for his life. Even if he returns to Kyoto, I'm afraid he won't have a good ending! You should tell him not to come back for the time being and find a place to hide for the time being!"
The third prince could not help but fall silent.
He knew that what Zhou Zunian said was true. No matter what the reason was, it was an indisputable fact that he had lost control of the Demon Family Corps. He would inevitably be punished by military law. Maybe losing his head would be a light punishment, and it was not impossible that his family would be implicated.
"This must be the work of the seventh brother! He has been eager to control the imperial army for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to do so. Even if this incident had not happened, he would definitely create other opportunities!"
"And that scarred guest! He has always been against me. This person is really hateful! I just didn't expect him to be so powerful that even Gao Zhengbang is not his opponent... What is the origin of this person?"
The third prince was furious, his face twisted, and he gritted his teeth.
"Instead of complaining about the world, it is better to think about how to recover the loss. In the court, what is fought for is not a momentary impulse, but interests and power!"
Zhou Zunian said loudly.
The third prince calmed down immediately, lowered his head, and resumed his humble attitude.
"How should we deal with this matter next? Please tell me, Grand Tutor."
Zhou Zunian's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he said: "The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. If this matter is to be properly resolved, it will eventually fall on the shoulders of the scarred man..."
"You chose the wrong direction from the beginning. Why did you get into such a mess with such a powerful person?"
"You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. I will deal with him next!"
After saying that, Zhou Zunian flicked his sleeves and left the side hall.
In the hall, only the third prince with mixed feelings and the bewildered guard leader Wang He were left.
