Chapter 981 You still betray me
The reason why Zhuo Mufeng assassinated the Northern Qi Emperor was not only because of the identity of the murdered person, but also because the Flying Waterfall Pavilion gathered the emperors and super experts of various dynasties, and the defense was the best in the world.
After the incident, the Emperor of Zhongzhou even mobilized a large army to station outside the town. Zhang Jiaquan believed that the streets and alleys in the town would be covered with eyewitnesses. Anything that was wrong should not be hidden from these people.
But even in this case, the Emperor of Zhongzhou was poisoned and killed. What is it that? It’s not so outrageous to joke!
So when he heard Lao Fang's words, the Zhang family was even more incompetent than the last time he heard that Northern Qi was going to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. If he hadn't known Lao Fang very well, he would have doubted whether this old man was crazy and talked nonsense.
Lao Fang smashed his mouth and his expression twitched. After a moment, he said, "Sir, how dare I deceive you? Now the outside world is crazy. It is said that the Zhongzhou court is furious, and the Prime Minister and the officials of various departments have rushed to Feicui Town. Some generals in the army even threatened to kill the people from Feicui Pavilion and bury the Zhongzhou emperor!"
After exhaling and inhaling, and doing it back and forth many times, the Zhang family had difficulty regaining their ability to think. He slowly sat back on the chair, his expression still a little dull, and he could not believe that such a thing would happen.
What's wrong with the world? In just over a year, three emperors died in a row. This is clearly the rhythm of chaos in the world!
"How did the Emperor Zhongzhou die?" Zhang Jiaquan's voice trembled slightly, unable to calm down.
Lao Fang: "It is said that he died of poisoning, and the poisoning person is probably the two confidant eunuchs around the Emperor of Zhongzhou."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Jiaquan's eyes suddenly became extremely horrified. He suddenly looked up at Lao Fang and blurted out: "The Emperor of Eastern Zhou was also killed by his confidant eunuch."
A very terrible guess suddenly arose in his heart. The death of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou was very likely to be related to the mysterious man who contacted him. Then the Emperor of Zhongzhou...
If this is true, the truth would be too terrifying. The Zhang family could not imagine what kind of force it could reach to the emperor for a long time and turn their own people into the other party's trusted confidant.
This is by no means a simple resource investment issue. When it comes to government affairs, money is no longer of great effect. It proves that there are those chess pieces in the core power levels of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Zhongzhou!
Zhang Jiaquan took a breath of cold air and his heart was cold. He didn't want to believe this guess, but an intuition told him that the more terrible it is, the closer it is to the truth. If he doesn't face it himself, he will suffer a great disaster in the future.
If both emperors were killed by mysterious people, why should they approach him at the other party's rank? Could it be that he was also a chess piece he used?
Will he also install a traitor beside him? Thinking that even the two emperors had problems, the Zhang family looked at Lao Fang with a vague look.
Lao Fang was furrowed all over when he was seen. At first, he was a little puzzled, but after all, he had been with the Zhang family for decades and quickly figured out the reason. He was so anxious that he could not cry, but he had no way to defend himself.
Is verbal defense useful? If a hero like an adult is anxious to defend himself, he may backfire. Besides, he hasn't spoken. How do you know what he is thinking? Even if he can understand his thoughts, wouldn't it make him more afraid?
Lao Fang himself was helpless and found that a black pot was hit from the sky, so he could only bear it. He had been loyal to his work for decades, but he was inexplicably suspected. What is this?
But by heart, can he blame the adults? From the other party's perspective, it is normal to doubt, and anyone will doubt it.
The strange thing in his eyes flashed and the Zhang family returned to his usual gaze, and his posture changed from the tense just now to a little soothing. He said relaxed: "As soon as the Emperor of Zhongzhou dies, chaos in the world is inevitable, but now I think about it, I have saved us."
Lao Fang quickly agreed. After years of contact with government affairs, his eyesight and knowledge are very comparable, and he can see through the pros and cons.
Zhang Jiaquan glanced at him: "But you should not take it lightly. Let me continue to instruct the soldiers and horses of all states and cities to be on guard against not only foreign enemies, but also civil strife! Now that the sword above your head is gone, I am afraid that some people will take the opportunity to stay in the nest."
It would be impossible for others to understand, but Lao Fang immediately interfered: "Sir, I suspect that within the rebel army, some military governors would take advantage of the previous reason for mobilizing troops to resist the Northern Qi Dynasty and order the army to attack us in the middle? It is impossible. Now there are the Eastern Zhou courts and the Eastern families, how can they kill each other?"
Hearing this, the Zhang family couldn't help feeling complicated.
After all, I am an old slave who has been with me for decades. The tacit understanding between them is not comparable to anyone. It is really not easy to cultivate such a smooth subordinate. I just hope that this old guy will not betray him.
Zhang Jiaquan said: "You must be careful of others, and it may not be a sneak attack on us. Maybe it is someone else, but you are not a big mistake. In addition, you should not slack off when notifying Baijiang City. You must always guard the important roads and not allow the people from the Sanjiang League to leave!"
Originally, the Emperor of Zhongzhou was not dead, and the Zhang family was ready to hand over the people of the Sanjiang League to Northern Qi for disposal to relieve their own pressure. But now such a major change has occurred, there is no hurry.
The Northern Qi attack plan had to be postponed, so you could also slowly plan it and hold the people of the Sanjiang League in your hands, which would be much more useful than handing over it over.
After Lao Fang got down, Zhang family closed their eyes, but thought in their hearts that they had to send someone to secretly monitor Lao Fang. The lessons of the past and the overturn of the next car. Two bloody examples reminded him that he should not trust anyone in the world too much...
In a pavilion in Baijiang City Lord's Mansion, Yao Wu, Angry Yan Luo and Wuzhi Seng looked at each other, and the masters of the Demon Sect behind the three were even more stunned.
The Emperor of Zhongzhou is dead? What are the people in Feihu Pavilion doing?!
I have heard of many bizarre things, but this is the first time I heard of such bizarre things. Two great emperors of the dynasty died in the same place less than a month apart, and were both killed. Is this a strange thing that has been heard throughout the ages? It has been the first time in thousands of years!
Everyone in the Demon Sect had a sense of strangeness of witnessing history, and the fear that had lingered them for many days seemed to have diluted a lot.
Yao Wu waved to the people behind and said indifferently: "Let me relax, brothers and temporarily stop the retreat plan."
The angry Yan Luo frowned: "Stinking scholar, what do you mean? Do you want to stay here and wait for death?"
Yao Wu: "No, Northern Qi will not attack for the time being. As long as the death of the Emperor Zhongzhou is not resolved, we should be safe."
The angry Yan Luo looked puzzled. The Wuzhi Monk grabbed the big bald head and the masters of the Demon Sect behind them, but they couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
In the courtyard on the other side of the city lord's mansion, Lou Linxuan received a letter from Zhuo Mufeng a few days ago, asking him to evacuate, but he believed that this should have been sent by his son-in-law before, and that the Emperor of Zhongzhou had not had any accident yet.
Lou Linxuan is not a vegetarian. He knew exactly who the soldiers outside the city lord's mansion were transferred on a large scale and he was very clear about who they were to guard against.
In this case, it is not impossible to force the evacuation, because he had long used the Hidden Village and Haoqi Gate to secretly control some intermediate generals in the Baijiang City army.
But this is a bad idea, and it is impossible to guarantee everyone's safety. There is no need to take this step unless it is absolutely necessary. Anyway, my son-in-law said that he would let him act according to the opportunity.
Now the situation has undergone a huge change, we can use one or two...
Shunxing City is one of the inland cities in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This place is far away from the border and is only more than half a month away from Fengbei Road.
In an ordinary bi-digit house in the city, Zhuo Mufeng was leaning against a recliner to check the information.
Su Zhilan in her arms was wearing a goose yellow gauze dress, with her beautiful eyes and beautiful appearance. She skillfully peeled off a purple grape with her pink and slender hands, and stuffed her fingers into Zhuo Mufeng's mouth with her orchid fingers. Then she took another one from the porcelain plate on the stool next to her.
After Zhuo Mufeng put down the information in his hand, Su Zhilan fed another grape. Seeing that he was just ignoring his eyes and enjoying it, he said sweetly: "Master, how are you serving me well?"
Zhuo Mufeng nodded lightly, fell on the recliner, bathed in the sun, and held the peerless beauty in one hand. He was really happy and fairy-like, and he was enough to comfort his whole life!
People all think that Zhuo Mufeng, who killed the Northern Qi emperor, would be like a rat crossing the street at this time, perhaps hiding in a corner to eat steamed buns. If I saw this, I wonder what I would feel?
During this period, he was nominally escaping, but in fact, when he returned to the mainland of Eastern Zhou, and the frequent accidents in the waterfall pavilion occurred, the enemies no longer cared about Zhuo Mufeng, which led to this guy taking the two girls and he was almost like traveling around the mountains and rivers.
Enjoying Su Zhilan's service, Zhuo Mufeng said: "The Emperor of Zhongzhou is dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, his delicate body in his arms paused. Su Zhilan raised her head, her pretty blushing face was filled with shock, and she said in disbelief: "How could this happen?"
Zhuo Mufeng sighed, "Who knows? More than a year ago, the Emperor of Eastern Zhou was killed by his confidant eunuch, and now the Emperor of Zhongzhou has the same fate. What's even more amazing is that if I hadn't intervened, the Emperor of Northern Qi would have died at the hands of his favorite demon concubine."
He stretched out his hand to hit Zhuo Mufeng's chest, and Su Zhilan was unhappy, but then he understood Zhuo Mufeng's words and said in horror: "You mean, the Emperor of Zhongzhou might have been killed by that person?"
Zhuo Mufeng was speechless, and the feeling of heaviness in his heart was even more serious than before.
He didn't want to be so suspicious, but judging from the information he had, he had to be so suspicious. The power controlled by the cloaked man was simply unfathomable.
After a while of quiet, Zhuo Mufeng suddenly said, "Zhilan, you should betray me and go and be loyal to the cloaked man!"
hiss!
A heart-wrenching pain came from his chest, which made Zhuo Mufeng's face slightly twist, but Su Zhilan heard his words and raised her fingers and twisted the flesh on his chest hard.
