[According to the emperor's request, you secretly went to Qingzhou. 】
[After your secret visit, you found that corruption is extremely serious in the entire Qingzhou officialdom. Officials protect each other, especially when it comes to grain reserves. They have a very unified approach, which gives you a headache. 】
[You used some means and finally figured out the truth. 】
[The entire grain reserve in Qingzhou is indeed empty. Not only Qingzhou City, but also most of the counties in Qingzhou are involved in this matter. 】
[You know very well that this matter is undoubtedly a big earthquake. 】
[You originally planned to enter Qingzhou City and collect evidence from Qingzhou Prefect Zhang Qi, but considering that a powerful dragon cannot defeat local snakes and Zhang Qi is powerful, there is really no need to take risks! Moreover, Emperor Xuan once told him not to go to Qingzhou City but to return as soon as possible. 】
[So, you plan to return to the capital and report this matter to the emperor. 】
[At this moment, the Dragon Guard sent an urgent order, asking you to reveal your identity as the supervisory censor, move into the Qingzhou City Post House, and investigate Qingzhou, especially Qingzhou City, openly and honestly. 】
[This order is a little confusing for you, but you still follow Emperor Xuan's request, check into the Qingzhou Post Office openly, and start inspecting the Qingzhou City Government Office. 】
[Soon, Zhou Zhenwen’s letter came into your hands. 】
[At this time, you understand Emperor Xuan’s intention. 】
[Your main job is to delay time, paralyze Zhang Qi and the Sirius Kingdom, and wait for the masters of the Enshrinement Hall to come and kill Zhang Qi to prevent the chaos in Qingzhou. 】
[After understanding the intention, you know what to do! 】
[You started a high-profile investigation, focusing on the corruption problem in Qingzhou, cleverly avoiding the inspection of the grain reserves...]
[Until one night, you heard the sound of a fierce fight coming from the government office, and you knew in your heart that the master of the worship hall had arrived. 】
[The next day, news came from the Qingzhou City Government Office that thieves attacked Prefect Zhang Qi last night and were forced to retreat by the officers and soldiers of the Government Office. The whole city was searching for the thieves. 】
[You know that the grandmaster of the Enshrinement Hall has failed, and you are anxious, but there is no other way. You are also worried that Zhang Qi will jump over the wall and rebel directly! 】
[You communicate with Zhou Xiu, the commander of the Dragon Guard, hoping that he can control the Qingzhou army first and prevent their cavalry from rebelling. 】
[But this move was rejected by Zhou Xiu. 】
[Zhou Xiu: Master Feng, my mission is to protect your safety and complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty, which does not include controlling the Qingzhou army. Do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in Qingzhou City? Once I take action against Qingzhou soldiers and horses, I will be exposed immediately. He can even deal with me like he dealt with the master of the Enshrinement Hall! This is too risky a move and I won’t do it! 】
[You: The army is in danger. In the current situation, even the martial arts master in the enshrinement hall cannot kill Zhang Qi. Now we can only take the risk! I have a token given by His Majesty. I can kill first and then report and mobilize troops! Take this token and go to Qingzhou Camp! 】
[Zhou Xiu fell into silence looking at the gold medal. The risk in this matter is too great! Even if he has the gold medal, he is not sure of controlling the Qingzhou army. This is Zhang Qi's territory, and the Qingzhou soldiers and horses are also Zhang Qi's people... He has no chance of winning. 】
[Zhou Xiu: Wait, maybe there is someone who can help us complete this matter. 】
[You: Who? 】
[Zhou Xiu: When the Grand Master of the Consecration Hall came to Qingzhou, I had contact with them. They mentioned that His Majesty told him that there was a general named Wu Yong. He had followed Zhang Qi for many years and knew a lot about Zhang Qi. If we control this person, we can make him acquitted of his crimes and make meritorious deeds for our use. 】
[You: Okay, then it’s decided. How do I need to cooperate? 】
[Zhou Xiu: Don’t do anything, just keep holding Zhang Qi steady. If he can’t find the master of the Enshrinement Hall, he will definitely resort to other means! While he was distracted, we first controlled the Qingzhou army. This was a great achievement! 】
【Hello. 】
Empress Liang Zhao looked at this scene and nodded slightly: "Wu Yong is a man with great ambitions and does whatever he wants. He can indeed be used!"
"If you can control the Qingzhou army through Wu Yong, you will have indeed made a great contribution!"
But Empress Liang Zhao knew in her heart that the grandmaster of the Enshrinement Hall had failed, which proved that the grandmaster of the Sirius Kingdom had also arrived in Qingzhou.
Under such circumstances, if they rashly attack the Qingzhou army, they will most likely become the target of attack by the master of the Sirius Kingdom.
Being attacked by the Grandmaster, the consequences are self-evident...
"Their move is still a bit reckless!"
Empress Liang watched the changes in the simulator screen and waited for the outcome of the matter.
[The next day, Dragon Guard Zhou Xiu quietly captured Wu Yong. Under coercion and inducement, he chose to cooperate. Zhou Xiu and I rushed to the Qingzhou camp overnight. 】
[On the way, there was a sudden strong wind, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain pouring down. You, Zhou Xiu, Wu Yong and others braved the heavy rain and went out of the city overnight to rush to the Qingzhou army. 】
[You relied on your status as an imperial envoy and cooperated with Wu Yong and Yuci Gold Medal to successfully control the Qingzhou Camp. 】
[You dare not return to Qingzhou City, you are afraid of Zhang Qi’s revenge, and you are even more afraid of the attack by the Grand Master of the Sirius Kingdom. This night, you can’t sleep all night. 】
[Early in the morning, news came out from the city that Zhang Qi was dead! 】
[You: What? How can it be? 】
"What?"
"Zhang Qi is actually dead?"
"How can this be?"
Empress Liang Zhao looked shocked. She sent two grandmasters from the Enshrinement Hall, but they failed to capture Zhang Qi. Why did he die so inexplicably?
She couldn't understand, who did it?
Zhou Zhen Wenming is obviously in the capital. Are there other masters in the wilderness?
[Due to Zhang Qi's mysterious death and your control of the Qingzhou camp, the Qingzhou rebellion that should have occurred has been completely subsided. 】
[You also know from the enshrined grandmaster Liu Daokou that there is a mysterious master who killed two grandmasters of the Tianlang Kingdom with one person! 】
[Liu Dao said that this person's strength far exceeds his, and he may have reached the threshold of a great master. 】
[Are you shocked, Grand Master? Isn’t this an existence that transcends Taizu? 】
"Grandmaster?"
"There is actually someone close to the Grand Master in the wilderness?"
Empress Liang Zhao's scalp suddenly felt numb. It was almost universally acknowledged that the Dahuang martial arts world was weak.
But in fact, the martial arts world of the Great Wilderness was extremely powerful in the past. There were numerous martial arts heroes who were not afraid of death. In order to find a way to break through the great masters, they fought one after another!
Until Taizu appeared and unified the world, he was worried that the power of martial arts would threaten the rule of Dahuang, so he ordered that martial arts masters were not allowed to walk in the world unless they encountered the power of extermination.
Those who disobey orders are treasonous!
As soon as this ban came out, the Dahuang martial arts community was in an uproar. Many martial arts people wanted to protest, but due to Dahuang's military strength and the strength of Emperor Taizu, they finally chose to compromise.
What follows is a long period of emphasizing culture and suppressing martial arts. Due to the short lifespan of masters and the inability to travel around the world and participate in battles, more and more martial arts masters would rather become third-level gang leaders and elders than break through to become second-level masters. A nominal Supreme Elder and former gang leader.
Empress Liang Zhao is actually aware of the bad governance of the Great Wilderness Wulin, but she is unable to change it, and she cannot change the status quo now.
"Once the ban is completely lifted, the current number of grandmasters in the Hall of Enshrinement will not be able to suppress the Great Wilderness Martial Arts."
"The number of Dahuang Grandmasters is indeed rare, but there are not many third-grade masters. Once they choose to be promoted, even if only one tenth of them succeed, they will become a group of extremely terrifying forces!"
"The current wilderness cannot withstand any storm!"
"It's better to ask for stability. This is fine. Although we don't know who violated the ban, it is also a good thing to kill the master of the Sirius Kingdom!"
Empress Liang Zhao carefully analyzed the gains and losses and found that she had made a lot of money from this matter!
Without any effort, the Grandmaster of the Sirius Kingdom was eliminated!
Simply the best of both worlds!
At this moment, Empress Liang Zhao didn't know that Zhou Xiong was dead. If she knew, she would probably applaud and ridicule him severely.
[You return to the capital to report on your work. You have made great achievements, and you will be rewarded as a matter of course. Your official position will be promoted and you will become the censor of Zuoqiandu, reaching the fourth rank. 】
[You started working diligently until the Queen Mother suddenly died suddenly. Zhou Zhenwen proposed the free trade zone plan in the morning meeting...]
