Chapter 503 The Ghost
The Imperial Master understood the hint in Princess Zhaoning’s words.
"I will go there personally to see their reality." He said. He understands that at this critical moment in the country, he must take the lead.
"But you can handle it alone-" Princess Zhaoning was still a little worried.
“——It is indeed a bit difficult,” the national master responded, “However, I will go to Lingshan Temple to see if Master Jueming is willing to help again.
"In addition, a long time has passed since the Luoshui Conference, and Luo Chuan's injuries should have almost healed. Although his fighting ability is not very good, his secret deduction skills can give us a very good position in intelligence. A huge advantage."
While speaking, the Imperial Master couldn't help but recall the scene when Luo Chuan was hit by Zhao Changying in front of the palace gate on the day of the Luoshui Conference, and his true energy was counterattacked and he fainted to the ground.
He thought, if Zhao Changying's strength becomes stronger after seclusion, can they really stop these rebels if Emperor Tianxing does not take action?
At this moment, an uninvited guest appeared out of thin air on the other side of the long table.
“I heard you need my help.”
The visitor was wearing a crane cloak, with long hair disheveled, and he looked like a fairy, out of the ordinary.
It’s just that his face is slightly paler than before.
It was Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, who was "lying in bed to recuperate" at home recently.
Currently, he has only revealed his true position in front of Gu Xu, Xu Man, Zhao’s father and daughter, and members of the "Qing Ming" organization, and everyone in "Qing Ming" has sworn an oath of confidentiality.
In the eyes of the Qi court, he was still a conscientious chief of the exorcism department and a loyal minister of the country.
In fact, Luo Chuan originally considered revealing the name of "The Reincarnation of Wenchang Xingjun" to the world to build momentum for Gu Xu.
But after discussing with Gu Xu, he discovered that the identity of the "Exorcist Division Chief" could also play a great role in the subsequent rebellion——
Not only He could learn the movements of the Da Qi court at the first time, and he could also try to mislead them into making wrong decisions.
It was like a nail driven deeply into Da Qi's heart.
"Have you recovered from your injury?" The Imperial Master looked at Luochuan and asked.
Luo Chuan covered his face with his hands, coughed a few times, and responded in a hoarse voice: "It's not completely fine. Zhao Changying's traitor was too harsh.
"But since Daqi needs me now, even if I have No matter how great the difficulty is, as an official who supports the country's salary, it is my duty to do so. "
Seeing how he was holding on to his sick body, and hearing his bold and loyal expression, Princess Zhaoning looked at him with heartfelt respect in her eyes.
" Luosi The first priority should be to put your health first," she said in a concerned tone, "Don't let your injury be affected by overworking on state affairs. "
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong," Luo Chuan shook his head slightly and said seriously, "The prosperity or decline of the country is an unavoidable responsibility for every Qi person. An old man like me, who has been favored by the emperor, has to work hard and die. How can I be greedy for life, fear death, shrink from moving forward, and abandon the fate of the country just because of a small injury or pain? ”
"Luo Sishou is worried about the country and the people, and I admire him very much." Princess Zhaoning slightly arched her hand towards him, "Now the enemy is unpredictable and hard to guard against. We were just thinking, if Luo Sishou can use his name to spread the world How could it be great to use the secret deduction technique to help us find out the reality of the enemy?"
"Since the princess has a destiny, how dare you not obey it?"
Luo Chuan said as he did so. As he spoke, he waved his hand to his bronze mirror and placed it on the long table.
Liangzhou, Linqiang, Zhaowu, Zhangye...the six cities are like reflections in the lake, emerging one by one on the surface of the bronze mirror.
Through the bronze mirror, the Imperial Master and Princess Zhaoning clearly saw the collapsed towers and the large-scale murals that appeared on the city walls.
This gave them a more intuitive feel for Gu Xu's level of strength and attainments in Talismans displayed in the siege battle.
After a while, as ripples rippled on the mirror, the scene transitioned to a spacious meeting hall. They saw Gu Xu, who was wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown, sitting at the head of a long table, discussing matters with Zhao Changying and Xu Man sitting on both sides - there was no sign of not fighting on the faces of these people. However, the joy of conquering the enemy turned into worry and seriousness, so that the atmosphere in the whole hall was as cold as ice.
“Although these rebel leaders are quite powerful,” Luo Chuan pointed at the bronze mirror and explained from the side, “compared to our Daqi, their foundation is too weak. , they don’t have enough backbones under their command.
“They have the ability to capture the city, but they don’t have the ability to defend the city. The more land they conquered and the longer the battle line stretched, the less they could do.
"Besides, our Emperor Da Qi is the true emperor appointed by God, and he is the aspiration of the people in the world. These rebels may temporarily use force to force the people to surrender, but it is impossible to truly make the people return.
" I think that maybe if we just wait a little while, these rebels will get into chaos and collapse under internal and external pressure.
"When the emperor comes out of seclusion, we can catch them all without any effort.
"..."
While listening to Luochuan's statement, Princess Zhaoning Pay careful attention to the dialogue between the rebels in the Bronze Mirror - for them, conquering the city is not the result of success, but the beginning of difficulties; like now, they are unable to find suitable talents to manage the occupied area. The argument was endless.
Princess Zhaoning was not surprised by this situation.
These rebels come from different forces, with different origins and backgrounds.
Maybe because of their common purpose, they hit it off and raised the flag to rebel.
But the problems caused by the haste of the move, the weak foundation, and the distribution of interests must exist among them - like a seemingly tiny ant nest, which continues to encroach on over time. , continued to expand, and finally caused the Thousand Miles Embankment to collapse.
Thinking of this, Princess Zhaoning sighed from the bottom of her heart. Luo Sishou's secret deduction skills were really powerful, and he could clearly display the enemy's internal confidential discussions in front of her eyes.
With such a method, the enemy that originally seemed mysterious and unpredictable suddenly became transparent.
Her mood instantly relaxed a lot, and one countermeasure after another quickly came to her mind.
There is just one thing she still has doubts about:
"Shou Luo, must we wait until our father comes out of seclusion before we can completely deal with these rebels?"
< br>Hearing her words, Luochuan sighed and nodded: "That's right.
"I have calculated with the help of heavenly secrets. Master Jueming should not help us this time." opponent. Now they are coming with force, as long as we can stabilize the situation..."
Speaking of this, Luo Chuan suddenly showed an extremely painful expression on his face.
He bent down and lowered his head. He held his head, covering his eyes with his hands, clenching his teeth tightly.
The picture on the bronze mirror disappeared, turning into a mess of chaotic and dazzling light and shadow, illuminating the whole room, making it look like a ghost. Shadows.
"Zhao Changying found me," he frowned, his voice was hoarse and painful, "He is interfering with my Tianji Technique..."
"Shou Luo, stop!" Princess Zhaoning shouted immediately road.
She saw that he had been counterattacked by Tianjishu.
