Chapter 707 Ghost Reverence
In the secret room under the ritual platform of Tongtian Hall, the emperor sat quietly on the chair. The sound of fighting outside seemed to be less, but it was impossible to ensure that everything was foolproof, so the emperor naturally would not go out easily.
The emperor was certainly confident that when the underground secret room was built, it took great pains to hide it. Even after the underground secret room was repaired, the workers who secretly built this place were secretly executed.
He knew the stability of this place, and as long as he didn't go out, no one could come in.
Chu Huan and others were scattered everywhere in the secret room. If Chu Huan was still calm, then Xue Huaian, the Minister of Rites, was already sweating coldly by the depressing atmosphere in the secret room. Beads of sweat the size of beans on his cheeks flowed down, but he did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it, and stood beside him with his body bent.
"Xue Aiqing is very hot?" the emperor finally spoke.
Xue Huaian was shocked and hurriedly said, "I...I dare not."
"what's on your mind?"
Of course, Xue Huaian didn't dare to say whether the emperor would severely punish him after thinking about this matter. He could only say: "I... I am wondering whether the traitors of Duke An Guo have been captured?"
The emperor smiled coldly and said, "Do you think they can still get away?"
Xue Huaian hurriedly knelt down and said in panic: "They are planning to rebel and rebel, and they are extremely guilty and should be punished. They will never... They will never escape from the saint's net of heaven and earth!"
"Net of the Universe?" The emperor was interested in stroking his beard, "Get up and talk. You don't have to be afraid, I will not punish you this time."
Xue Huaian was stunned, then felt relieved, and hurriedly said, "I thank you for your kindness!" He kowtowed two heads and got up. The emperor had already asked, "Xue Aiqing, how do you think I should punish them?"
Xue Huaian hurriedly said, "Everything depends on the ruling of the emperor. I dare not speak out!"
The emperor smiled faintly and said, "Don't dare to speak well? Then there is still something to say after all?"
Xue Huaian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sage, I... I am a little confused in my heart..."
"Tell me if you have any doubts." The emperor said immediately without waiting for him to finish speaking: "See if I can solve your doubts!"
Xue Huaian said in panic: "I dare not. I just feel that although two soldiers and horses are fighting for the killing outside, one of them is Huang Tiandu's rebels, who is the other army? I...!" After hesitating for a moment, he finally plucked up the courage and said: "I don't know if they are really here to protect the enemy."
"Oh?" the emperor smiled and said, "Xue Aiqing seems to be thorough in thinking."
"I dare not." Xue Huaian said: "The safety of the emperor is the most important thing. I just think that you should be careful in everything. If Chi Gongdu really rebels, why would he die? If he really dies, who will be in charge of his troops now?" He said carefully: "The emperor, except for the general Lei Guheng and the general of the left and right guards, others cannot be mobilized. Since Chi Gongdu is dead, who dares to mobilize the army without authorization?"
The emperor said "Oh" and said, "What do you mean is that there are only three people who can mobilize the Twelve Guards?"
Xue Huaian was stunned and instantly realized that he had lost his mouth. He knelt down again and said in panic: "I am speechless. All the soldiers and horses in the world are from the Lord, I am...!"
"Okay!" the emperor waved his hand, "I ordered the killing of Chi Gongdu, and his subordinates were also transferred by me."
Xue Huaian was stunned and then said relieved: "It turns out that the emperor had expected Chi Gongdu to rebel, so he had an imperial edict early in the morning. The emperor was very wise and admired by him."
The emperor shook his head and smiled, "You are wrong. Although I know that Chi Gongdu and Huang Ju have colluded with him, I did not issue an order early. Chi Gongdu is a person with careful thoughts, and Huang Ju is also a cunning person. I cannot take the lead, but can only take the lead. Once I take the lead and they notice it, things will not go so smoothly."
Xue Huaian opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
"Huang Ju can bribe Chi Gongdu, so how can I not place anyone next to Chi Gongdu?" The emperor sneered: "I sent Xuanyuan Shengcai to wait for Chi Gongdu to come, and Chi Gongdu did not disappoint me, but he might not have thought that he would be dead from the beginning. Xuanyuan Shengcai only needed one gesture, and the people around Chi Gongdu would kill him immediately!"
Chu Huan was surprised when he heard it. Outsiders thought that An Guogong was doing his best. It seemed that the emperor was the one who really planned it step by step. No wonder how a person like Chi Gongdu could be easily killed. Now that I think about it, the person who the emperor was placed by Chi Gongdu must be Chi Gongdu's confidant, and Chi Gongdu was still not as frivolous as the emperor's confidant. He failed to find that the confidant around him was the hidden stake that the emperor was placed by him.
Chu Huan could even imagine that the emperor might not only have one or two nails placed by Chi Gongdu, but these people must be very loyal to the emperor. As the emperor said, perhaps the emperor had left a secret code for those nails. As long as the secret code appeared, it was the time to kill Chi Gongdu.
The emperor admitted that he sent Xuanyuan Shengcai to go there, which means that he still trusted the people of the Xuanyuan clan very much. Xuanyuan Shengcai only needed to release a secret code. The stakes that were ambushing Chi Gongdu would immediately attack Chi Gongdu. That attack would inevitably be a shock. Although Chi Gongdu was extremely brave, he was eventually defeated by the emperor's plot.
If it weren't for today's incident, Chu Huan would never have believed that Chi Gongdu was actually walking with An Guogong.
Chi Gongdu is usually low-key, and no one can see that such a person has the opposite intention, but the emperor was wary of him early. Chu Huan didn't know whether it was the emperor's Divine Uniform Guard who played a role or the emperor himself had such a sharp vision. Chu Huan now thought that the emperor could put nails around Chi Gongdu, and naturally he could put nails around others. Chu Huan didn't know how many people the emperor had buried secrets around, but Chu Huan knew that there were probably very few people who the emperor really believed in.
The establishment of a mysterious and dark institution like the Divine Uniform Guard means that the emperor likes some dark means. It is reasonable for him to install spies around his ministers.
At this moment, another Divine Uniform Guard came in and arrived at Yue Lengqiu and whispered a few words. Yue Lengqiu turned around and said respectfully: "Master Xuanyuan has captured Huang Ju and other rioters, waiting for the Master Emperor to fall. However, the Wu Jing Guard, a subordinate of Huang Tiandu, is still fighting with the Guards."
The emperor immediately said: "Send someone to pass on my will. This rebellion was done by a few people including Huang Ju. I am generous and kind, and will not be punished only by the main culprit. However, if there are soldiers of Wujingwei, I will not punish them in the past and will not punish them."
Yue Lengqiu bowed and said, "Abide by the order." At that moment, people immediately passed on this order.
Chu Huan was a little surprised. He knew that the emperor was extremely murderous. He thought that the emperor would kill all the people in this rebellion. At this time, he heard that the emperor issued this order, and it seemed that the emperor was a bit rational.
The reason why Wu Jingwei resisted was because he was afraid of being punished after failure, so he tried his best to resist. As long as the emperor's past decree was conveyed, I believe that the soldiers of Wu Jingwei would stop fighting soon.

On the edge of the waterfall, "Fan Quan" looked at Lin Bing, the Xuanwu Qianhu who was disguised as Xuanyuan Shao, and sneered: "You want me to die, but you are afraid you don't have that ability. Xuanwu Qianhu, your disguise technique has indeed opened my eyes. I feel ashamed of myself, but you think you can kill me with just one's own strength, but you are too confident."
Lin Bing smiled and said, "No matter whether you can kill you or not, I actually want to know the most whether you are that person?"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Ben Qianhu said that although your disguise skills are not very good, I know there are three people who can reach your level." Lin Bing carried his hands on his back, calm and composed. "One of them would never participate in this matter, and the other two people, only one person is the most suspected."
"Oh?" "Fan Quan" sneered: "Then please guess who am I?"
Lin Bing said slowly: "As far as I know, the Tianmen Dao, which is now in chaos in the southeast, is now hundreds of thousands of people, but most of them are just people who are bewitched by others. There are actually not many who are truly directly under the Tianmen Dao. Moreover, the Qianmen Dao also knows that although the rioters who are in chaos are all under the flag of the Tianmen Dao, claiming to be the Taishang Laojun, and the Tianmen Dao wants to create a peaceful world, the rioters can only be regarded as believers of the Tianmen Dao, and the real disciples of the Tianmen Dao are very strict in the entry."
"Fan Quan" sneered: "Does Xuanwu Qianhu want to tell me a story? I don't have much interest in Tianmen Dao."
"If you think that the Tianmen Dao is just a piece of loose sand, that's really a big mistake." Lin Bing ignored the words of "Fan Quan" and continued: "The Tianmen Dao is divided into six paths, soldiers, techniques, ghosts, gold, darkness, generals, and the six paths each perform their duties. The leader of the Tianmen Dao is called Tiangong, and the head of the six paths is named "Zun".
"Fan Quan" looked surprised in his eyes and said lightly: "It is said that the divine guards are everywhere. It seems that you, the Qianwu, know a lot."
Lin Bing smiled and said, "I have been too rewarded, and I know that among the six masters, the Lord of Ghost is a disguised master."
"Oh?" Fan Quan's eyes twitched, "Do you think I am that ghost master?"
"The eighteen countries compete for the world, and there is one of Jingshan Kingdom. The king of Jingshan Kingdom has a brother. When the country was destroyed, the prince of Jingshan Kingdom was less than 20 years old." Lin Bing said slowly: "And when this prince was very young, he liked to disguise himself. Later, he knew that there was a saying of disguise in the world, so he searched for the master of disguise. The emperor paid attention to those who were interested. He really found a master of master. After he became a master of his master, he was better than his master and mastered his skills in disguise. Jingshan Kingdom had a unique skill of disguise.
Po, the prince happened to be out of the country, and for this reason, he escaped and disappeared from then on. Tianmendao was ambitious. While they bewitched the people, they searched everywhere for survivors of the various vassal states that were destroyed by Qin. Tianmendao was determined to disrupt the Qin Dynasty. The survivors and descendants of the various vassal states were full of resentment towards the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, although Tianmendao was strict in accepting disciples, they could get started smoothly as long as they determined their identities for the descendants of various countries."
"Fan Quan" finally showed horror in his eyes, and he couldn't help but clench his fists with both hands.
