Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 487 Brother, You Are Still So Considerate
Xu Zhiqiong lit a burner of incense in the Marquis' mansion, quietly waiting for Emperor Changle's reply.

Yu Xianhuang wanted Xu Zhiqiong everywhere, and the entire Wansheng City wanted to dig three feet to dig Xu Zhiqiong out.

Only the Marquis's Mansion was not searched carefully, and everyone believed that Xu Zhiqiong would not return to the Marquis's Mansion.

The smoke wafted around, gradually forming the shape of Emperor Chang Le's face, but the things made by Tai Bu were useful, Xu Zhiqiong could even see Emperor Chang Le's expression clearly.

Emperor Chang Le was very anxious: "Brother, I heard that you were arrested by that barbarian head Yu Xian, and I also arrested his bird prince. You tell that barbarian head to release you quickly, or else He, the bird prince, is about to suffer."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I escaped, don't embarrass Mochi, the alliance between Xuanyu and Yu is still there."

Emperor Chang Le said angrily: "There's a shitty covenant, they dare to arrest you, they obviously didn't take Da Xuan seriously, why should I gather troops for them? Just let them die!"

From Xu Zhiqiong's personal point of view, Yu Xianguo should indeed wait to die. What Yu Xianhuang did was very harmful and insulting to Xu Zhiqiong.

As Emperor Changle, it was reasonable to completely abandon the covenant with Emperor Yu Xianhuang, what Yu Xianhuang did provoked the dignity of the entire Daxuan.

But it is not only Yu Xianhuang who is involved in this matter, if Yu Xianguo is destroyed, it is not only Yu Xianhuang who will really suffer.

Yu Xianhuang would at most pay for his family's life, and he didn't even have to pay for his life. With the power of the royal family, he could always find a shelter, hide his name, and even live a wealthy life.

But the common people of Yu Xian will suffer, they will become tools and test subjects of Gu clan, they will become containers for parasites of Gu insects, they will become weapons of Gu clan, as judges, this is something Xu Zhiqiong cannot tolerate.

It is not only the people of Yu Xianguo who are suffering, but also the people of Daxuan. Yu Xian's country has perished, and the orthodox country of Suzaku True God has disappeared. Can Suzaku's way of life be maintained?If the Daomen collapses, the people of Daxuan will definitely starve.

And if the entire territory of Yu Xianguo falls into the hands of the Gu clan, there will never be a moment of peace in the southern border of Daxuan.

As a preacher, Xu Zhiqiong couldn't let this kind of thing happen.

"Your Majesty, this battle still needs to be fought. How many soldiers and horses have you assembled?"

Emperor Chang Le said: "There are more than [-] soldiers and horses. If we really want to fight, we can gather some more, but I don't want to fight with that barbarian head."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "We don't fight with him, he beats his, we fight ours."

Emperor Changle said: "You want me to send troops directly from Juanzhou and Tingzhou to attack the back door of the Gu clan? This is a good way, I will immediately order Chu Xin to dispatch troops."

Xu Zhiqiong hurriedly stopped and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, now is not the time, you have to force Yu Xianhuang until there is no way out before you can send troops, just wait for my news."

Xu Zhiqiong could see through it. If Daxuan sent troops to attack the Gu clan first, with Yu Xianhuang's pissing nature, he must be worried that Daxuan would occupy his territory. He would definitely not want to put all his strength on the battlefield, and he might even remain neutral. Come to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and quietly watch Daxuan and the Gu clan fight.

This loss, Xu Zhiqiong is determined not to accept it!

After negotiating with Emperor Chang Le, Xu Zhiqiong made a mark in the Marquis's Mansion with the Order of Punishing the Evil Son, and brought Chang Decai and Yang Wu to the Department of Punishment.

When they arrived at the Changshi Mansion, they found Lu Yanyou. Lu Yanyou was covered in sweat, and his short and fat body was soaked.

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Lu Changshi, what happened so urgently?"

Lu Yanyou wiped off his sweat and said, "Doctor Bai is gone. I haven't seen him for many days. I have searched many places. Shi Yi Jiming, governor of Chai Prefecture, and Yuan Yushao, governor of Pingzhou, also came to look for him. No one knows where he went. .”

Doctor Bai should be looking for a place to be promoted.

He wants to be promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank. The third rank is the limit of a mortal, and this promotion will definitely not be so easy.

Naturally, Xu Zhiqiong couldn't say much, and borrowed the Chengfeng Building from Lu Yanyou.

He wants to go back to the capital to find some helpers who can deal with the Gu clan.

The first choice is naturally Han Chen, Brother Han knows the Gu art best.

There is also Tong Qingqiu, Brother Tong's potion has a strong restraint effect on Gu skills.

With these two helpers, Xu Zhiqiong's plan was half successful.

But ask these two people to help and get Tai Bu's permission.

Tai Bu looked at Xu Zhiqiong and frowned: "Kangsheng, I asked you to go to Yu Xianguo as a hostage, how dare you sneak back?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "If you don't come back, you can't. Yu Xianguo is about to perish. I have to find a way to help them."

He told Taibu about the borrowing, and after listening to Taibu, he didn't seem to feel much.

His temperament has changed.

Although he was indifferent in the past, Tai Bu still has a minimum sense of responsibility to the people of Liming and the country.

But now, he seemed numb to everything.

"Kangsheng, the two of them belong to me. If you want to borrow it, you can borrow it. You have to negotiate the price first."

It's good to negotiate the price, but it's really hard to pay back the favor owed to the old man.

But some things have to be clarified first.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "You borrowed my power to send Tao'er to Yu Xianguo to find something for you, how will the account be settled?"

Tai Bu thought for a moment and said: "If this sum is counted, let's settle it."

Clean up!

Tai Bu is really generous!

It seems that what Taoer did in Yu Xianguo is very important to Tai Bu.

What exactly is he looking for?
Xu Zhiqiong told Han Chen and Tong Qingqiu about the matter, Han Chen was no problem, but Tong Qingqiu wanted to hide it from his wife.

The lady would definitely not agree to go to war, Tong Qingqiu could only say that she was going on a business trip, and before leaving, she had to treat her well.

The two first prepared their bags in the Yin Yang Division, and Xu Zhiqiong went back to the Marquis's Mansion alone, looking at the Marquis's Mansion in Anjingli.

After seeing Xu Zhiqiong, Xia Hu was very happy. She came up and kissed him for a long time, and let Xu Zhiqiong pinch the fat peach so painfully that she didn't get angry.

But knowing that Xu Zhiqiong was leaving, Xia Hu was a little dissatisfied.

"You have been promoted to the fifth rank, it is time to let go of the mundane world. It is fine to let go of Daxuan's affairs. Now it is good, even Yu Xianguo's affairs have to be taken care of."

Xu Zhiqiong hooked the bridge of Gou Xiahu's nose: "Good lady, if Yu Xianguo doesn't care about it, the days of Daxuan will be sad, and there is our duty in the Taoism."

Xia Hu snorted and said, "How long have you been in the Tao, what duty do you tell me every day?"

Xu Zhiqiong comforted Xia Hu a few words, and hurried to find Liang Zhenjie.

The current Liang Zhenjie is really hard to find, since he was depressed last time, it's been rare to see him for a few days.

Fortunately, Yang Wu had studied the art of war with him for a long time, knew his habits, and found him in a small garden in Dongkuayuan.

Seeing Xu Zhiqiong, Liang Zhenjie said with a dull expression: "Don't think that because I have you in my heart, you can always embarrass me. Don't force me to think of old things, otherwise I will never see you again."

Xu Zhiqiong waved his hands again and again and said, "I won't bring up the old things anymore. I'm looking for you this time because I have a battle to fight."

When he heard about the war, Liang Zhenjie nodded and did not refuse.

Xu Zhiqiong took the map of Cong'an County of Yu Xianguo and stippled it, and said his strategy.

Liang Zhenjie frowned and said: "There are some fights in this battle, but it's not your way of fighting. Since the opponent is the Gu clan that uses bugs, it's not so easy for you to tear a hole from their encirclement.

According to your style of play, Yu Xianren will not only be unable to break through, but even yourself will be difficult to escape, please allow me to think for a moment, if you want to help them break through, we have to do this..."

According to the tactics formulated by Liang Zhenjie, Xu Zhiqiong had to prepare some special equipment.

These tools are hard to find, as far as Xu Zhiqiong knows, there are only two places where they can be found.

One is the penance workshop, and the other is Zhongshen's mansion.

Except for Tai Bu and a few close relatives, no one else knew about Xu Zhiqiong's return to the capital.

Even Emperor Chang Le didn't know.

The fact that Xu Zhiqiong was able to return from Yu Xianguo to Daxuan Capital overnight is not so easy to explain.

Moreover, Xu Zhiqiong's identity was a hostage sent to Yu Xianguo by Daxuan Kingdom, and he could not return to Daxuan casually. Although Emperor Chang Le would not blame him, Xu Zhiqiong did not want to leave an excuse for others.

Therefore, this equipment cannot be taken blatantly, but must be borrowed secretly.

Don't even think about the penance workshop, Xu Zhiqiong is not familiar with that place, and he doesn't even know where to steal it if he wants to.

Go to Zhong Shen's house and "borrow" it. After all, he is the Commander. Even if he finds out, he can explain the past with a few perfunctory sentences.

Xu Zhiqiong changed into casual clothes, put on a bamboo hat, concealed his appearance a little, and went to the commander's mansion.

Walking halfway, he suddenly heard someone say: "Is it Zhiqiong?"

Xu Zhiqiong shuddered, how could anyone recognize me?

Looking back, Xu Zhiqiong smiled.

The two found a secluded place and chatted.

"Aren't you fighting in the north? Why did you sneak back by yourself?"

"It's not coming back secretly, it's coming back openly. There is no war in the north. The Nufu Sect makes trouble every now and then. General Ji can't catch them, and he can't easily fight Tu Nu. You can't fight inside, you can't fight outside, just stay there. , but isn’t it a waste of time? After I told General Ji, I went back to the capital and went to work in the yamen.”

Xu Zhiqiong said: "How can you say that time is wasted for nothing, you just concentrate on honing your cultivation."

"What kind of grind, a whetstone? Cultivation is honed by human heads."

Xu Zhiqiong sighed: "Your temper is really... Forget it, I have a battle to fight here, do you dare to go?"

"As long as it's fighting with you, when did I ever counsel you?"

"Exactly. I'm going to borrow two pieces of equipment from Commander Zhong. You can see if you can use them first."

"I'm afraid the commander may not be willing to lend you this thing."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? The commander is one of us. He refuses to borrow it on the surface. We can borrow it secretly."

"If you want to talk about stealing, it's better to go to the penance workshop to steal."

"The penance workshop, I'm not familiar with it."

"I'm familiar with it. My father is on duty tonight. He will definitely not suspect me."

Xu Zhiqiong exclaimed, "Yuxian, you are still so considerate!"
