Chapter 1009 Sheng Zhan panicked
In the Shengjing Palace, Sheng Zhan received information from a spy.
"What? The national teacher is missing?" Sheng Zhan widened his eyes, somewhat incredulous.
In his opinion, the Imperial Master is the most powerful person in the world, how could he disappear?
"Your Majesty, the imperial advisor's team has already departed from northern Hubei and returned to the capital, but the imperial advisor is not among them. I have secretly inquired and have learned that the imperial advisor has not been seen since he arrived at the northern Hubei army."
The information the spy obtained was all told to him by Sheng Ze. From his point of view, Yang Chaofan was indeed missing.
For some reason, Sheng Zhan was a little panicked. Apart from the Imperial Master, he didn't have many cards left. If even the Imperial Master disappeared, wouldn't he have to hand over the throne to Sheng Ze?
No! Absolutely not!
Sheng Zhan took a deep breath and asked, "Did you see any members of the Shen family in the team delivering the imperial decree?"
"I have personally witnessed the second son of the second branch of the Shen family taking good care of a woman. That person should be the sixth daughter of the Shen family that the national teacher mentioned." The spy reported truthfully.
Xiyue is the person in charge of gathering information in the Shadow Guard Division. This time the matter is of great importance, so of course she has to take action personally.
The entire imperial edict delivery team was replaced, and Shen Qingqian, who was the "Rou Fei" candidate specifically requested by Sheng Zhan, could not follow the team into the capital. Xiyue personally disguised herself as Shen Qingqian.
In order to dispel the court's suspicion, Shen Yong was even stuffed into the team as an escort.
"Send more people to Yunzhou to pick up people. Concubine Rou cannot have any mistakes!" Sheng Zhan suddenly gave the order.
It doesn't matter that the Imperial Master is missing. As long as he can get the goddess, he will definitely be able to sit firmly on the throne!
Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to put all his chips on the goddess.
"Come here, call the Duke of Zhenguo into the palace!" Sheng Zhan gave another order.
The Duke of Zhenguo has been guarding the southern border for generations and is a role model for military generals in the court. However, the Duke of Zhenguo is old, and now the one who takes his place to guard the southern border is the Duke's son.
Sheng Zhan doesn't care about the age of the military generals. As long as they have appeal in the court and the brains to lead troops in battle, age is not a problem.
Jinghe and Li Junyi, those two idiots, brought so many people with them, but they were all captured by Liang Cheng. It made his heart bleed. Those were all military salaries paid from his own private treasury!
This time was different. He planned to kill a few more corrupt officials, collect enough military funds, and immediately let the Duke of Zhenguo lead the troops, cross the river directly from Yingzhou, and catch the Hubei army off guard!
The goddess is his, and the world must be his too!
With the help of the magic talisman, Shen Qingqian and Sheng Ze reached the top of Chengjin Mountain in just one night. However, when they were near the top of the mountain, Sheng Ze quickly grabbed Shen Qingqian.
"There are people on the mountain!"
Shen Qingqian quickly stopped and took off the magic talisman.
There's not much distance left, so don't take any risks.
Sheng Ze also followed her example and took off the magic talisman, then whispered: "There is someone up there, and he should be quite powerful."
Shen Qingqian tilted his head and thought, "Could it be the eldest brother and the others?"
"Big Brother" Sheng Ze was stunned for a moment, "Impossible, Big Brother should have taken Yang Chaofan with him long ago"
Before he could finish his words, he stopped.
Not many people can reach the top of Chengjin Mountain. In order to lure Yang Chaofan away, the eldest brother must find something that interests him, and the abnormality of Chengjin Mountain is the best bait!
"It's okay, we'll know when we go up and take a look." Shen Qingqian made some preparations this time and was not afraid that Yang Chaofan would play any tricks again.
Sheng Ze looked at the cliff in front of him and said thoughtfully, "Let's rest here for two hours before going up."
