Chapter 529 See Through [Subscribe]
"Young Master, time is running out. The Jieyun Dao uprising is scheduled for March 9th, which leaves less than half a month."
"Let's hurry up and get going!"
Shen Jia spoke in a deep voice while Shen Wansheng was stunned.
Shen Wansheng, as the heir of Changshan Shen's family, once he falls into the hands of another family, Changshan Shen's family will inevitably be restricted when facing this force.
As for abandoning Shen Wansheng as the heir, if it was in the early years, Shen Wansheng's father might not mind. However, since Shen Wansheng had accomplished a lot in Xiangyi Prefecture and proved his ability, Shen Wansheng's identity as the heir of the Shen family was already a foregone conclusion.
“No rush!”
After listening to Shen Jia’s words, Shen Wansheng did not agree directly, but shook his head slightly.
"Those who betray their master must die!"
At this moment, Shen Wansheng didn't care who Bao Xu belonged to. He only knew that the other party had failed to live up to his trust and betrayed him.
Also, he couldn't just leave like that. Even if he wanted to leave, he had to tell his sworn brothers first.
At the beginning, they swore an oath of brotherhood in front of the heavens and the earth, not asking to be born on the same day, nor to die on the same day, but only asking to share the joys and sorrows, and to share happiness and hardship.
Now that the Tang Dynasty is about to collapse, if Shen Wansheng only cares about returning to Changshan Shen's family without informing his three brothers, Old Man Xu, Yan Jing and Zuoqiu, how is he different from Bao Xu who betrayed him?
"Young Master!"
When Shen Jia heard Shen Wansheng's words, he became anxious and spoke in a hurry. At one point, he wanted to use force to take Shen Wansheng away.
"Marquis Wucheng is my sworn brother, and Earl Yongwu is my second nephew!"
Shen Wansheng glanced at Shen Jia, and with a light word, he shut up Shen Jia.
Last year, when the northern barbarians invaded the south, they had planned to seize the opportunity to rise up. That was also an agreement with the Jieyun Dao: once the Jieyun Dao cut off the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty, it would be the time for the aristocratic families to rise up.
But who would have thought that Jieyundao was unreliable and its apparent power was almost completely destroyed by the imperial court.
The aristocratic families were still afraid for a long time because of this.
Of course, it is a consensus among everyone that the Tang Dynasty was able to repel the foreign threat from the Northern Barbarians thanks to Marquis Wucheng and his son, Bo Yongwu.
As for the Prince of Yan who was stationed in the Northwest Military Camp, although he was able to tie down the main force of the Northern Barbarians, the battle in which the Northern Barbarians personally led the army to attack the Huangfengkou Pass made the Prince of Yan a laughing stock.
That battle established the great reputation of Marquis Wucheng and Earl Yongwu.
If Emperor Yongping truly valued meritorious service, then the military exploits of Old Master Xu and Old Master Xu would not have been rewarded with the title of Duke. However, in the end, Old Master Xu only received the empty title of Marquis Wucheng, and Old Master Xu only received the title of Earl Yongwu.
But even so, no one dares to underestimate the martial arts of the Xu family father and son!
Now, having heard that his young master and Marquis Wucheng were sworn brothers, Shen Jia naturally stopped talking nonsense. He even thought to himself, if possible, let the Xu family take over Xiangyi Prefecture. Then, the Changshan Shen family and the Xiangyi Prefecture Xu family would work together, and there would be no need to worry about not achieving great things.
Shen Wansheng didn't think so much, he just had one idea, which was to go and say hello to Old Master Xu. As for whether Old Master Xu would inform Emperor Yongping?
Shen Wansheng had never thought about this.
After all, he knew something about the feud between Mr. Xu and the royal family.
…
When Shen Wansheng and his men hurried to Xiangyi Prefecture, Linyao, the capital of Xiangyi Prefecture, was in a state of impending storm.
When Boss Xu arrived at the provincial capital, he went straight to Bao Xu and asked him to release the people.
As a result, Bao Xu mobilized the city army of Fucheng without saying a word and arrested Boss Xu and the people who came with him.
The day after Xu Lao Da and others were arrested, Xu Lao San and Fu Bao arrived at the provincial capital.
There was no need for the two of them to fan the flames. Someone was already fanning the flames in secret, saying all kinds of bad things about the court and Emperor Yongping.
"Little sister, something's wrong!"
Xu Laosan walked around the street and came back to tell Fubao about his intuitive feelings.
After listening to her third brother's story and hearing that many people in the capital were secretly speaking ill of the court and the emperor, Fubao also felt that something was not right.
It seemed that her elder brother and their family were used as pawns by someone.
Someone is using them to undermine the court's reputation among the people.
"Third brother, do you think it could be someone from the Jieyun Dao?"
Although Fubao has the soul of an adult and appears to be very intelligent, no matter how smart she is, she cannot figure out the tricks before she knows the secret plans of the aristocratic families, unless God gives her a dream.
“No!”
Xu Laosan shook his head slightly, "This method is more like that of an aristocratic family!"
Although Xu Laosan, who is well-read, is somewhat lacking in understanding human nature, his vision and knowledge are not bad.
Compared with Fubao, Xu Laosan obviously has a deeper understanding of the world.
Hearing what his third brother said, Fubao couldn't help but shudder.
Yes, this practice of first ruining the reputation of the court and the emperor is undoubtedly very similar to the legendary dragon-slaying technique.
If one wishes to slay a dragon, it must be an evil dragon.
The emperor of this time and space is not known as the true dragon emperor.
Therefore, there is no such thing as a dragon-slaying technique here.
But that's how things are, no matter how things change, they remain unchanged.
"Third brother, if this is really done by the aristocratic family, then we must quickly find a way to rescue eldest brother!"
Although I don’t know whose plan it is, I can be sure that this aristocratic family’s move must be related to the Way of Disaster.
Perhaps, when Jieyun Dao establishes the Human Dao Kingdom in the southwest and the imperial court sends troops to attack, Xiangyi Prefecture will explode like a powder keg.
They, as a family, must find a way to protect themselves.
They had been thinking about rebelling against the imperial court before, but they never imagined that someone had already been plotting in secret.
"Little sister, since we know someone is fanning the flames, then they will definitely release Big Brother and the others in order to achieve their goal. We can do nothing now!"
"Third brother, if the eldest brother was rescued by someone, do you think we owe the boss a favor?"
"Third brother, it's easy to pay back a debt, but it's hard to repay a favor!"
Fubao doesn't want to owe others a favor for nothing because of his elder brother's affairs.
Especially since this favor was directed and acted by the other party himself.
Xu Lao San was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. I'll find a way right away."
At this moment, Xu Laosan understood that Bao Xu, the acting prefect of Xiangyi Prefecture, was also a chess piece, but a discarded one. The forces behind Bao Xu would eventually sacrifice him to appease public anger, in order to win public support and achieve certain goals.
