The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

After the imperial edict was read, Yu Jiaolong bowed to show her respect.

After the eunuch closed the imperial edict, she stood up and asked, "Eunuch Qi, my husband is only in the Yang God Realm."

As she spoke, Yu Jiaolong frowned unconsciously, with a hint of worry on her face.

It had only been less than twenty days since Fang Xun broke through to Zhenwu in the Western Region Protectorate, and the news had not yet spread in the four states of the Western Region, let alone in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yu Jiaolong was well aware of the royal family's plan. Although she did not show it on her face, she was extremely reluctant in her heart.

In her opinion, a shocking melee is bound to break out during the new emperor's coronation ceremony.

Dozens of Zhenwu were fighting in a chaotic battle, and even the Zhenwu land immortals could not guarantee that they could protect themselves, let alone the Grand Master Yangshen.

When Eunuch Qi heard this, a smile appeared on his fair face and he said, "Your Highness the King of Yue may not know that Marquis Lin Chuan broke through to the Zhenwu realm more than ten days ago."

"My husband has made a breakthrough?"

Yu Jiaolong was stunned for a moment, and Eunuch Qi continued.

"This is the news that Captain Tie sent back using the telescope. Marquis Lin Chuan should be with Captain Tie and Taoist Master Zhen Yangzi now. He may have already received the imperial edict."

Yu Jiaolong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this and said, "Thank you for telling me, eunuch. I will pass on His Majesty's order to Master Bai and ask her to leave as soon as possible."

Eunuch Qi nodded and said, "I still have to go and issue an order to King Zhao, so I won't say more to Your Highness."

"Father-in-law, walk slowly."

Soon, the image in the bronze mirror disappeared and returned to a smooth mirror surface.

And the next moment, the beautiful face in the mirror gloomed again.

Yu Jiaolong sat behind the desk with a frown on her face and remained silent. After a creak, the door opened and Old Man Mo, Li Muzhi, Xiao Zhen and Dongfang Que entered one after another.

Old Man Mo frowned and said, "Do you really want Master Bai to go to the capital?"

Among the other three, Li Muzhi and Xiao Zhen sat upright with serious expressions, not expressing any opinions, just looking at Yu Jiaolong quietly.

In comparison, Dongfang Que was much less cautious and her pretty face was gloomy.

“Your Highness, there are many dangers in going to the capital. I believe that with Xun’er’s character, he would not go to the capital even if he received the imperial edict.

Master Bai only listens to Brother Xun and doesn't care about anything else. I guess she won't take the imperial edict to heart."

After hearing this, Yu Jiaolong's expression immediately relaxed and she suddenly laughed.

She and Fang Xun have been sleeping in the same bed for several years, so of course she knows each other's personality very well.

"I am too concerned and confused. With my husband's fear of death, how could he possibly wade into this muddy water? After this, I'm afraid Shuntian Prefecture will be in danger. How could my husband deliberately put himself in danger?"

When Li Muzhi and Xiao Zhen heard such disrespectful words, they looked down at their noses and pretended not to hear them.

They were ranked at the top of the civil and military officials in the Prince of Yue's Palace, and there was no way they could get off the boat.

Even if Yu Jiaolong immediately raised the banner of rebellion, they would have no choice but to follow her all the way to the end.

Soon, Yu Jiaolong put away her smile, her face became serious, and she immediately asked the other four people to sit up straight.

She parted her cherry lips and whispered, "Xiao Zhen!"

Although the voice was soft, it made Xiao Zhen's heart startle, and he immediately stood up and said.

"My subordinate is here!"

"How is the situation of Jiangnan Guard and the personnel we have planted in the government army?"

"In four years, the Jiangnan Guard has expanded from 10,000 to 100,000. Except for Jiangzhou and Linzhou, 60% of the commanders of the prefecture and government armies in the eight prefectures of Jiangnan are ours. When the time is right, they will support Your Highness!

Linzhou is located on the frontier. Liu Zhengwu, the commander-in-chief of the border army appointed by the imperial court three years ago, broke through Zhenwu the year before last and his prestige in the army soared. It was not easy for the royal palace to intervene in the border army rashly.

And Jiangzhou."

Xiao Zhen paused for a moment, and Yu Jiaolong asked, "Is it that old Dong Yunchuan who is causing trouble in Jiangzhou?"

At this time, Li Muzhi took the initiative to stand up and said, "Yes, most of the proposals for job transfers in the palace were rejected by Dong Yunchuan."

Although the Prince of Yue's Palace did not directly intervene in military and political affairs, it had the right to supervise and make suggestions.

Generally, as long as the proposals of the Prince of Yue's Mansion were not excessive, the local government would not oppose them. However, the governor of Jiangzhou happened to be Dong Yunchuan, who had a feud with Fang Xun, which made it difficult for the Prince of Yue's Mansion to cultivate power in the Jiangzhou government.

Among them, only Sun Youcai, the commander-in-chief of the Six Gates, was from the palace.

Then there is Sun, the assistant commander of the provincial army, who has some friendship with Yu Jiaolong and Fang Xun, but it is only a private relationship.

"Dong Yunchuan"

Yu Jiaolong whispered the name, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes. At this critical moment, she had no intention of getting entangled with the other party.

At this time, Dongfang Que suddenly said, "Your Highness, I have received some unusual intelligence regarding Jiangzhou."

"Hmm?" Yu Jiaolong's eyes narrowed, "What's unusual?"

The intelligence in the eastern gap is the information compiled by the Qinglong Society.

On the surface, the Prince of Yue's Palace can call on the intelligence system of the Six Gates, and secretly, the Qinglong Society, a pyramid scheme organization spread all over Jiangnan, has also become the eyes and ears of the Prince of Yue's Palace.

"In the past year, a group of suspicious people from Xiangxi entered Jiangnan. They are suspected to be spies gathering intelligence!"

After hearing this, Old Man Mo's pupils contracted: "Are you sure it's Xiangxi?"

The faces of the others also grimly changed. Their first thought was that the King of Chu was planning to attack Jiangnan, and Xiangxi was the territory of the King of Chu.

"It's still unclear whether it's the Chu Palace. I asked my subordinates to keep a secret watch and not to alert the enemy. I also discovered something."

Dongfang Que continued.

"That is the power behind these spies. It seems that they have reached some kind of agreement with Tianfeng Tower. A considerable number of spies will summarize the intelligence they have collected to the various branches of Tianfeng Tower!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jiaolong immediately asked, "Have you discovered any unusual movements in Xiangxi?"

"Our people in Xiangxi have not noticed anything unusual, but Your Highness, please look!"

As he spoke, Dongfang Que took out a map and spread it out on the table. It was the map of Zezhou, one of the seven prefectures in western Hunan, adjacent to Jiangzhou.

There were military camps marked on it, which made Yu Jiaolong and her group's pupils shrink.

Dongfang Que's slender fingers moved across the military camps on the map and spoke to everyone.

“Since two years ago, the other six states in Xiangxi have been continuously dispatching soldiers to Zezhou, once every ten days, with a minimum of 500 and a maximum of 1,000 soldiers each time.

This number is very insignificant, and I didn't notice anything unusual until half a month ago.

Currently, there are already 500,000 elite troops stationed in various prefectures and counties in Zezhou!"

In the past few years, the Qinglong Society has mainly been operating in the eight states of Jiangnan, and only began to expand to western Hunan half a year ago.

The deployment of troops in Zezhou was so inconspicuous that Dongfang Que only noticed something unusual in the daily intelligence information summary of the Qinglong Society a month ago.

Xiao Zhen looked at the military camp signs on the map and his face changed. "Your Highness, we must prepare early to deploy defenses in Jiangzhou. Otherwise, if the Zezhou army suddenly attacks, Jiangzhou will fall in half a month at most!"

But Old Man Mo couldn't help but yelled, "How are we going to prepare?

That corrupt scholar Dong Yunchuan is guarding against us like a thief. If we tell him that the King of Chu has ill intentions, he might even accuse us of making trouble out of nothing."

Li Muzhi's face was also extremely ugly. He looked at Yu Jiaolong, hoping that she could come up with an idea.

Yu Jiaolong stared at the map, a hint of cruelty suddenly flashed in her eyes, but she smiled instead.

“Haha, isn’t it just 500,000 troops? Since Wan Yangtian wants Jiangzhou so much, then give it to him!”

"Your Highness?!"

After hearing this, Xiao Zhen and Li Muzhi's faces changed drastically, thinking that Yu Jiaolong had gone crazy.

Old Man Mo and Dongfang Que were also stunned for a moment, but soon they both reacted, as if they realized something, and their faces relaxed again.

Dongfang Que sneered and said, "Dong Yunchuan has many students all over the world and is well-known in the literary world. It's hard for Xun Ge'er and His Highness to kill him directly, but if we let the King of Chu do it, then there will be no problem!"

Old Man Mo also sneered.

"That's right. Since he wants it, it's no big deal if Jiangzhou gives it to him. It will return to us sooner or later anyway. By the way, we can get rid of Dong Yunchuan, an old idiot who is as smelly and hard as a toilet stone!" (End of this chapter)
