Chapter 1147
Chapter 1147
When Yuan Tiangang, who rarely swore, said these words, Xu Shan, who was standing next to him, immediately backed down.
While he sincerely admitted his mistake, Qinglong, Zhuque, and the others were still in shock!
Have the Jiujiang naval forces and the Jiangxi garrison changed their flags to the "Xu" character flag?
Where is Prince Ning?
How did the local powerful families manage to accept this so readily?
If that's the case, then Xu Shan's 'deception' was truly masterful!
“Uncle Long, when you get there, Prince Ning will personally meet with you.”
"At that time, you and Aunt Zhu can work together to coordinate from the inside and outside."
"The Jiujiang Navy is relatively new to the enemy, and I haven't sorted out the relationships between many of its generals."
"Please help me sort this out."
After hearing Xu Shan's words, Qinglong felt even more uneasy.
Did Prince Ning contact him directly?
A reconciliation of the century?
Despite some doubts, Qinglong knew that if Xu Shan dared to make such an arrangement, and the Celestial Master tacitly approved it, then it was practically a sure thing.
"None of your men have returned. I've taken all the people from the Northern Garrison Command with me. Is that easy for you to handle?"
"The people from the Dark Moon Pavilion and the Ghost Pavilion have come back with me. Besides, even if you don't leave, they wouldn't dare to rebel, would they?"
After saying that, he added with a smile, "Besides, if you don't leave, they won't dare to be too arrogant!"
“If God wants to destroy someone, he must first make him crazy.”
"Then who is God?"
Faced with Zhuque's question, Xu Shantian shamelessly answered directly, "Me!"
After discussing the details with them, Xu Shan watched Qinglong and the others leave.
"In the secret letter you said that you have a general idea of how Zhu Wushang [possessed the body of the Witch Minister] is developing?"
After hearing Xu Shan get straight to the point, Yuan Tiangang briefly recounted the story of the "Prince Replaced by a Civet Cat" incident and the suspicious points surrounding Zuo Qianhu's entry into the northern border.
"It is now certain that this person does exist. Moreover, he is exceptionally gifted."
"He awakened his ancestral lineage at a young age. It was also in search of a way to resist the 'Soul Curse'. Decades ago, he entered the Ming Dynasty from the northern border."
"His last public appearance was to visit the palace maid who had saved him years ago."
"Ok?"
Hearing this, Xu Shan raised his eyes and said, "If we find her, we can at least provide a rough sketch, right?"
"They're dead. Their whole family perished in a bizarre fire. The method was very much like that of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
After Master Yuan finished speaking, Xu Shan looked at him and asked, "The Left Commander of the Southern Ji and Northern Zuo factions?"
Yuan Tiangang, who hadn't spoken, nodded emphatically!
"Don't tell me that even Commander Zuo has vanished without a trace?"
In response to Xu Shan's question, Yuan Tiangang replied, "That's not the case. Yi Zhai found out that he entered Jiangnan half a month ago."
After saying this, Yuan Tiangang immediately added, "After the situation in the capital stabilizes, you will stay in the central government. I will personally go to the south of the Yangtze River."
"Ok?"
"Are you worried that Lao Ji might get involved too, leaving me in a dilemma in the end?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang fell silent.
"If that's the case, I'm even less likely to let you go."
"Don't send anyone from the Divine Mechanism Bureau over there. I'll handle this."
"Too late!" Yuan Tiangang replied with a long sigh after he finished speaking.
"What do you mean?"
"The seven people sent to monitor Ji Pifu's ascetic practices all died."
"Two of them died from the [Heavy Blade Without Edge]."
"The Overlord Blade has been drawn."
"In addition, the Jiangnan Navy has recently been stationed in Yuhang Bay."
“I have no reason not to believe that he is still loyal to Emperor Qiming.”
After he finished speaking, Xu Shan, who had been silent for a moment, asked, "Where is the body?"
"I know you won't give up even if I tell you the truth."
"I ordered my men to seal their bodies inside the cave."
Hearing this, Xu Shan smiled.
"Celestial Master, do you know where I learned this ruthless and decisive nature of mine?"
"Old Ji."
"The last lesson he taught me before I went to the capital was..."
"Never reveal your intentions or whereabouts unless you are absolutely certain."
"If Old Ji really makes a move..."
"Don't even mention that you brought the body back; no matter how many people went, they would never come back."
"Recall all the men you sent out. Immediately, right now."
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang said with a stern face, "Xu Shan, I hope you won't act on emotion. And even more so, don't..."
"I, Xu Shan, have always sided with my own people, regardless of right or wrong!"
“Some people want us to become enemies.”
"I'm sure of that."
After saying this, Xu Shan strode towards the Divine Pivot Cave.
After he left, Hua Cishu and the others quickly approached Yuan Tiangang's side.
“Master, you clearly felt there was something fishy about this. Subconsciously, you also believed that even if Ji Pifu used his knife, he wouldn’t leave a mark.”
"Why say all this to Supervisor Xu?"
"This is exactly the attitude I want from him."
"what?"
"If Ji Pifu truly did not draw his sword, I believe he has deduced that someone intends to use the sword of emotion to sever his heart."
"Xu Bantian, who is loyal and righteous, hates these people the most."
"But this blade truly came from the hand of the Overlord Blade. This matter is enough to teach him a lesson!"
"I'm just using words. I'll either make him see the ugly face of Emperor Qiming more clearly, or let him know how treacherous the world is. So-called loyalty and righteousness can be a virtue, or a fatal flaw."
"Either way, it will help him grow. Why not do it?"
"I understand. The Celestial Master has put a lot of thought into the matter of the Supervisor!"
As they were saying this, Xu Shan had already arrived at the underground ice cellar of Shenjishu.
Looking at the several corpses lying on the ice, Xu Shan immediately recognized that two of them were indeed the work of Lao Ji's 'Heavy Blade Without Edge'.
This domineering sword technique, which uses internal energy to sever others' meridians, bones, and even dantian with overwhelming force, is highly distinctive.
The more he heard this, the less Xu Shan believed it was Lao Ji's doing.
Thinking of this, Xu Shan immediately chose to communicate with the two spirits.
The video begins with their final moments on the verge of death.
Then, that domineering true energy, which Xu Shan was extremely familiar with, attacked from afar.
"A heavy blade without an edge?"
"You, you are Lord Ji?"
'bass! ’
'boom. ’
As soon as he finished speaking, the blade force that slashed out from the shadows first pierced through one of the people, and finally struck the one behind him.
'puff! '
The previous master, Shenji Shu, who had been practicing asceticism, was immediately split in two.
But the one behind him suffered severe internal injuries, and a hideous knife wound even appeared on his chest.
The person was also thrown several meters away...
But he wasn't completely killed!
Upon seeing this, Xu Shan muttered with absolute certainty, "No, this is definitely not Lao Ji."
"Old Ji's domineering true qi could kill Huang Yaoshi, a ninth-grade late-stage cultivator, with a single strike."
"And the combined strength of these two who have worked so hard to cultivate is still below the ninth rank!"
