Knowing that Su Jue was about to arrive, Fu Xiaoguan was very happy. This meant that Su Jue's injuries had healed, but he didn't know whether it would leave a scar on that handsome face.
Jia Nanxing kept looking at Fu Xiaoguan. He liked this child very much. Of course, in terms of status, he was a prince.
This guy is really powerful. If the Yu Dynasty follows his strategy, there will definitely be earth-shaking changes within two years.
But if the Yu Dynasty becomes more and more powerful, what will happen to the Wu Dynasty?
Jia Nanxing did not think much about this worry, nor did she try to persuade Fu Xiaoguan to return home.
He believed that Fu Xiaoguan would return to the Wu Dynasty sooner or later, because after all, the blood of the previous emperor flowed in his body.
The two of them talked in detail about the deployment of the ant colony in Shangjing City. Only then did Fu Xiaoguan realize that the intelligence system of Tianji Pavilion was several times more powerful than that of Xiyu Tower.
"I thought Your Highness would be interested in Xirong, so I brought you the list of the Ant Colony's organizations in Xirong. Please take a look at it when you have time. I also have some intelligence from Xirong that I thought Your Highness would also be interested in."
Jia Nanxing took out a booklet and a letter from her sleeve pocket and handed them to Fu Xiaoguan.
Fu Xiaoguan put away the booklet, unfolded the letter, and frowned:
"It has been confirmed that Nan Batian's real name is Chen Zuojun, and she is the current Saintess of the Moon Worshiping Cult."
"It has been confirmed that the Fourth Prince of the Yu Dynasty has contacted General Xue Dingshan of the Western Frontier Army. On the night of November 15th, Xue Dingshan's troops, a small group of a thousand men, left for Xirong Prefecture. Their purpose is unknown and awaits investigation."
"The Moon Worship Cult's lair was discovered beneath Yunfeng Peak at the northern foot of Minshan Mountain. It was heavily guarded. Four disciples from the Taoist academy attempted to break through, but failed. They engaged in a battle with the Moon Worship Cult members, killing 102 of them. Gao Yuanyuan and Su Bingbing were seriously injured. Su Yangyang and Su Diandian carried the two of them on their backs and broke through, returning to the Taoist academy."
"I have two suspicions, and I ask my colleagues in Nanjing to investigate carefully. First, General Xue Dingshan of the Western Frontier Army was implicated in the tragic incident involving the Lin Jinglie family in Wuyi Lane, Nanjing, in the spring of the 51st year of the Taihe era. Lin Jinglie is a worker in the Tianji Pavilion, and the Tianji Pavilion has been investigating this matter. If the suspicion is confirmed, Xue Dingshan will be assassinated to avenge my colleague."
"Secondly, keep a close eye on Qin Huizhi, the Vice Minister of the Yu Dynasty's Political Affairs Hall. We have intercepted intelligence sent from Jinling to Xirong Prefecture. This person is very likely bribed by Yu Wenshu."
Fu Xiaoguan carefully read it twice and handed it to Jia Nanxing, "Why do I feel that this ant colony is very concerned about Yu Chaozhi's safety?"
"Your Highness, the late emperor once said that a stable Yu Dynasty is more valuable to our Wu Dynasty. Of course, there's another reason. Although the Moon Worship Sect is a remnant of the previous Yu Dynasty, its tentacles extend too far. Gao Xian is also a member of the Moon Worship Sect. This is obviously not good for our Wu Dynasty."
"Who is Lin Jinglie?"
"He once served as the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple during the Yu Dynasty. One spring night in the fifty-first year of the Taihe era, the Lin Mansion caught fire, and none of the 136 people in the mansion survived. Of course, this was only superficial, as Lin Jinglie's martial arts skills had reached a first-rate level. The truth was that he had been murdered and then the fire was set..."
Eunuch Jia paused and continued, "There is another piece of news. It says that someone survived in the Lin Mansion. It was the daughter of Lin Jinglie. She was only five years old at the time."
"Is this information reliable?"
"According to the Jinling government documents, only 135 bodies were found at the time. This is very likely."
By this calculation, the girl should be fifteen years old now. However, this matter had nothing to do with Fu Xiaoguan, so he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he asked Xue Dingshan, "What realm is Xue Dingshan in?"
Eunuch Jia pondered for a moment, "I have never met Xue Dingshan. Since he was able to kill Lin Jinglie ten years ago, I think he must have reached the level of a saint by now."
Fu Xiaoguan was shocked. Why are there more and more holy ranks?
Huo Huaijin said that the combat effectiveness of the Western Border Army might exceed many people's imagination. How could this guy hide so deeply? If he really was in cahoots with the Fourth Prince, it would be very difficult to deal with him.
As if sensing Fu Xiaoguan's worry, Eunuch Jia smiled and said, "Your Majesty is aware of Xue Dingshan's martial arts skills."
"Your Majesty, have you taken precautions?"
"Xue Dingshan's wife is Xi Hua, the younger sister of Xi Xunmei, the daughter of Chairman Zhi of the Xi family."
This means that the Xi family is a family trusted by Your Majesty.
Is it possible for just this woman to keep an eye on a Saint?
Fu Xiaoguan expressed great doubt.
"So, Your Majesty has another precaution. Your Highness's flintlock rifle really needs to be delivered to the Eastern Frontier Army as soon as possible."
Fu Xiaoguan frowned. Your Majesty knew how powerful Xue Dingshan and the Western Border Army were, so he wanted to equip the Eastern Border Army with flintlock rifles and let the Eastern Border Army deal with Xue Dingshan's Western Border Army?
This father-in-law is quite cunning. I think he is worried that there are Xue Dingshan's spies in the palace.
"Do you want to go back to Wu Dynasty?"
Fu Xiaoguan asked this question very suddenly. Eunuch Jia was startled. After a moment's silence, he whispered, "Guanyun City is too high. I don't like the idea of clouds blocking the capital. I'm used to the climate of Jinling. Besides... I'm also used to being by Emperor Xuan's side. Your Highness can rest assured."
"That's good. You must remember that Emperor Xuan is my father-in-law!"
"This old slave will always keep this in mind."
"It's late, you should go back."
"As long as Gao Xian remains in place, Your Highness must be extremely cautious."
…
…
That night, Fu Xiaoguan met two people and learned a lot of things, which made him think about a lot of things.
The Wu Dynasty's intelligence network was very powerful.
The Moon Worship Cult's tentacles extended further than he had expected.
The Moon Worship Cult is very powerful and is determined to take his life!
The fourth prince has made up his mind to rebel!
The flintlock rifles must be delivered to the Eastern Frontier Army as soon as possible, and the Excalibur Special Forces must grow up as quickly as possible.
So this small landlord is not living a carefree life now.
This is something that worries Fu Xiaoguan very much. If he wants to be free and at ease, he must eliminate the Moon Worship Sect, kill the Fourth Prince, and pacify the Western Rong... Only then can he be free.
Like Fu Xiaoguan, Prince Yan Liangze of Yi State also met two people tonight.
One is the fourth prince's third uncle, Xue Kailian, and the other is Tong Yan, the third elder of the Moon Worshiping Sect.
Xue Kailian only said one sentence to Yan Liangze, that if the Yi Kingdom wanted to take the important town of Lanling, it would have to send troops to Ximayuan again in the spring of next year.
However, Tong Yan, the third elder of the Moon Worshiping Sect, came to help Yan Liangze solve the big trouble in front of him - Fu Xiaoguan!
"I will kill Fu Xiaoguan. After the deed is accomplished, the Yi Kingdom will need to pay 30 million taels of silver!"
Yan Liangze looked at the face in front of him for a long time. She was actually Liu Yaner from Hongxiuzhao!
Yan Liangze hasn't even seen Fu Xiaoguan these days. He has been to Hongxiuzhao and met Liu Yan'er, but he doesn't understand how this singer from Hongxiuzhao could have the ability to kill Fu Xiaoguan.
"He will come to Hongxiu Zhao. The Fourth Prince just needs to prepare the banknotes."
She had a childlike face, but now, she has become Liu Yan'er, and no one can see any flaws.
