Chapter 457 The Target is Xu Guofu

Xu Ming and the girl looked at each other, but soon, Xu Ming withdrew his gaze and walked away.

Looking at Xu Ming's back, the girl frowned.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Liu Feng asked.

"Nothing." The girl shook her head and took a sip of hot tea.

Recalling the man's gaze just now, the girl felt a lingering fear for the first time.

His gaze was like a sharp sword, clean without a trace of blood.

Even young girls find it hard to imagine.

Such a sharp pair of eyes actually appeared on the person who just enjoyed the flattery of officials.

"Commander Xu."

Xu Ming returned to his courtyard.

In Xu Ming's small courtyard, except for the part-time Wu Yanhan, the two deputy commanders of the Jinyiwei and eight thousand captains were all there.

But they were not wearing flying fish suits, but casual clothes.

After all, on a day like this, it would be inconvenient for them to come in official uniforms, as it would attract a lot of attention.

Although the Jinyiwei in Wudu have not done anything yet, they have already made people tremble with fear.

Many officials subconsciously stayed away from the Jinyiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms when they saw them on the street, fearing that they would come to their doorsteps.

"Yeah." Xu Ming nodded and walked forward. "Tell me, what's the situation in Wudu?"

After returning from the ancestor worship, the Xu and Qin mansions were holding a banquet, and Xu Ming was supposed to be helping out in the mansion.

However, Xu Ming received a message from Tingfeng Pavilion, and then Xu Ming brought this message to Jinyi Mansion.

"We, the Jinyiwei, have already contacted the city defense forces and are strictly checking people entering and leaving the city. People from Tingfeng Pavilion and our people are all patrolling the streets.

We have already arranged people in Xuguo Mansion and Qinguo Mansion.

If the other party dares to come over, he will not be able to escape even if he has wings. "

Yu Pingan said briefly.

Yu Ping'an was on duty in Jinyi Mansion before, and then Xu Ming came over and said that Tingfeng Pavilion had received the news.

According to Tingfeng Pavilion's inference, many remnants of the previous dynasty have sneaked into Wudu and are likely to cause chaos.

After hearing this, Yu Ping'an quickly deployed his defenses.

Xu Ming did not interfere with Yu Ping'an's defense.

Xu Ming believed in Yu Ping'an's ability. He was definitely not just a scholar who could only read.

Xu Ming had heard a rumor before, that is, Emperor Wu asked Prime Minister Xiao, who could take the position of Prime Minister after him?

Prime Minister Xiao mentioned two names, one was Xu Pangda and the other was Yu Ping'an.

Even Ping An's name is before Xu Pangda's.

This shows how much Prime Minister Xiao values ​​this person.

So after hearing what Yu Ping'an said, Xu Ming felt a little relieved.

Xu Ming is absolutely confident in Yu Ping'an's work.

Yu Ping'an said that the defense has been deployed, so it has been deployed.

Actually, with Emperor Wu in charge of Wudu, there is basically no trouble.

Even if a cultivator in the Ascension Realm comes here, he will be in trouble.

But Emperor Wu is the ruler of a country. If the ruler of a country needs to take action personally, then what is the use of Jinyiwei? And in Xu Ming's opinion, Emperor Wu has already known the news.

But Emperor Wu did not give any orders, which meant that he wanted to see how he would handle it.

"Show me the layout of Wudu." Xu Ming said.

Li Han quickly spread out the drawings and placed them on the table.

The bird's-eye view of Wudu shows the streets and alleys in great detail, and the deployment of the Jinyiwei is also marked in detail on the map.

Yu Ping'an's arrangements were indeed very sophisticated, with one link after another, each defense position echoing each other, and not even a blind spot was left out, fully utilizing the maximum advantage of the number of personnel.

It's just...

"Something's not right."

Looking at this picture, Xu Ming shook his head.

"Actually, I also feel something is wrong."

Yu Ping'an continued Xu Ming's words.

“The remnants of King Shan are not fools. They also know that they can’t cause any trouble in Wudu. On the contrary, if they want to do something, they should be very secretive.

I don't look down on Tingfeng Pavilion, but Tingfeng Pavilion can't detect everything.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But it seemed as if we suddenly figured out the other party's plan.

Besides, apart from the ancestor worship at the Xu and Qin mansions, what other important events are there today?

Even if these remnants want to slap the Wu Kingdom in the face, the best time should be on your Majesty’s birthday in three months.”

Listening to Yu Ping'an's words, the others also frowned. They felt that what Yu Ping'an said actually made sense.

In fact, there were only two reasons why those remnants came to Wu State to cause trouble.

The first reason is that they really want to stir up trouble and want to usurp the throne in one fell swoop.

But according to the news from Fengge, they haven't even found the descendants of King Shan, so how can they usurp the throne? Who will be the emperor after usurping the throne? And although they are now making some progress and preparations, with the current level of preparation, they are almost sent to the battlefield.

Emperor Wu was eager for them to launch a massive attack on Wudu right now and wipe it out in one fell swoop.

So it's basically the second case.

It was to slap Emperor Wu hard in the face.

But the problem arises again.

Although when the Xu and Qin governments were offering sacrifices to their ancestors, the remnants of King Shan's evildoers could indeed cause trouble and slap Emperor Wu in the face.

But it doesn't make any sound.

It is not easy to organize such a "slap in the face operation", as it will not be long before Emperor Wu's 40th birthday.

Wouldn't it be a louder slap if you slapped Emperor Wu in the face on his 40th birthday?

Others didn't understand what the remnants of King Shan were trying to do.

"Master Xu, tell me, is it possible that all this information is just a trick created by the remnants of King Shan to deceive us? In fact, they have other intentions."

Yu Ping'an raised his head and looked at Xu Ming.

"It is indeed possible, but I really don't know what their intentions are." Xu Ming sighed.

Yu Pingan stroked his beard and said, "Is it possible that their original goal was actually Xu Guofu?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Guangyin asked.

"I don't know, it's just my intuition." Yu Ping'an shook his head. "Right now, the only major event in Wudu is the ancestor worship of the Xu and Qin mansions. We may really be overthinking it. Their original purpose should be this."

"If it's really what you said."

Xu Ming pointed to the location of Xu Mansion on the map.

"I'm afraid some of King Shan's remnants have already infiltrated.

If their goal is really Xu Guofu, then what exactly do they want?"
