The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 747 Discussion (Continued)

Zhao Chen shook his head at Yan Hongxia's suggestion, because he knew very well that neither the Queen nor the Imperial Concubine were on the same side as the Emperor, and even if they got any news, it would most likely be a "trap."

Instead of expecting Wang Qingling to find out the news, it would be better to ask directly when we meet at Daxiangyun Temple tomorrow.

Although the emperor would probably say half and hide the other half...

As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen also expressed his plan: "I guess the emperor has a deeper plan for Prince Liang, so I want to investigate Prince Liang's secrets to reversely figure out the current emperor's purpose."

"Is there anything we need to do?" Yan Hongxia understood the meaning of the music and asked directly.

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Sister Hongxia, I need you to check when those apparently supernatural cultivators under King Liang joined the army.

"Before they surrendered, did King Liang encounter any problems?"

Hearing this, Yan Hongxia said thoughtfully: "Do you suspect that those magical powers were attracted by the secret of King Liang?"

"Except for suspected undercovers like 'Zen Master Tianming', I really can't think of those supernatural masters, even several top-grade supernatural masters, who would join the ranks of a violent and reckless person like King Liang.

“They have to be planning something, right?

“If someone like the King of Liang came to power, he would only be a puppet and would not have the power of today. The real people and real lords behind the Ming family would not allow him to truly take power, because that would bring disaster to Daxia.

“After all, placing a puppet after a strong and wise ruler is the Ming family’s strategy for ruling the world, and it reflects their compromise and concession to the clan and the aristocratic families.

“Being too forceful will only lead to the sects and families uniting to rebel against the imperial court.

"Relaxation and tension, repeated tug-of-war, spiral upward, this may be the secret of the Ming family's ability to keep Daxia standing for eight thousand years.

"It's just that the court officials, the aristocratic families, and the clans are happy about such a puppet coming to power, but it is not a good thing for the monks who have served King Liang." Because there is a high probability that their investment will be wasted.

"Whether it's 'Mr. Lingyun' or 'Danqing Sword', they can't be unaware that this is a losing business...

"Even 'Zen Master Tianming' should have an obvious reason!
"So, the question is back to the beginning. What are they trying to do?"

Zhao Chen stopped talking here, but everyone present, including Ning Meng, could think of the answer: King Liang must have what they desire.

And there aren't many things that are worth a great price for a supernatural cultivator to obtain...

"I'll start investigating right away." Yan Hongxia knew that Zhao Chen must have other channels to obtain the information, and that she wanted to investigate on her own just to fill in the gaps and verify each other.

After all, compared to those channels, he definitely trusts his own people more.

Moreover, as a Taoist official in the "Taoist Office", Yan Hongxia is professionally qualified to do this kind of work.

"Be careful, and go to the Prince of Liang's Mansion for help if necessary." Zhao Chen told Sister Hongxia, then turned to look at Ming Xueling, "You stay in this house and protect Ning Meng and Master Mo.

"In addition, the intelligence we obtain will also be summarized to you, and you will help analyze it."

Ming Xueling had no objection to this arrangement. She just nodded and said nothing more.
