Luo Liangping felt that those who injured him were not ordinary officers and soldiers.
Otherwise, with his skills, ordinary officers and soldiers would definitely not be his opponent.
Judging from the movements of those people, he suspected that those were people from the Shadow Sect pretending to be there.
As soon as Luo Liangping finished speaking, Mo Shoucheng spoke.
His tone was extremely cold.
Even more so with a hint of anger.
Moreover, he actually compared the people of the Shadow Sect to bed bugs.
Duan Wenjun couldn't help but frowned and turned to look at him, "What on earth is this shadow door?"
Mo Shoucheng did not answer, but stared at Luo Liangping closely, "Are you sure that it is really those bugs from the Shadow Sect who have reappeared?"
Luo Liangping frowned, thought for a long time, and then nodded, "I'm not sure, but I'm at least 90% sure. The person who hurt me seems to have a tattoo on his arm, which is very similar to the one from the Shadow Sect."
Seeing Mo Shoucheng frowning, he continued, "It's a flower-shaped tattoo. There are six petals in total. The front ends of the petals are very sharp and the edges are wavy and zigzag. And its stamens are dark blood red." .”
"Black mandala!" Mo Shoucheng frowned. "It seems that those bugs from the Shadow Gate have appeared again. This matter is not trivial. I will send a message to the Mountain Gate."
After saying that, he walked straight out of the room.
Duan Wenjun couldn't help but frowned, glanced at Luo Liangping, and asked, "Guard Luo, what kind of sect is the Shadow Sect? Why does it feel like Lao Mo hates them so much?"
"It's not just Master Mo who hates the Shadow Sect. Anyone with a little bit of conscience in the world will also hate him." Luo Liangping's face became extremely serious.
Duan Wenjun did not speak, but waited quietly.
"If you want to talk about the origin of the Shadow Door, you have to start from the past." Luo Liangping looked up at the roof and sighed. "Actually, I hope that I am wrong."
Luo Liangping was silent for a long time, as if he was sorting out his thoughts and words, thinking about how to tell Duan Wenjun.
The emergence of the Shadow Sect happened in the past few decades, and it was still an extremely important government office in the former Wei Dynasty.
It took more than 400 years from the founding of Wei to its eventual replacement by Dashun.
The previous generations of Wei emperors worked hard to govern, making the Wei state unprecedentedly powerful and ready to dominate the world.
However, when a dynasty develops to a certain period, many internal conflicts will break out.
The biggest problem in Wei at that time was the separatism of clans and the corruption of officials.
With the consumption of various internal strife, the Wei state began to decline from prosperity, and even the power of the Wei Emperor was almost eclipsed.
In the end, foreign powers repeatedly invaded the border, banditry was everywhere, and the entire Wei Kingdom was riddled with holes.
It was also at this time, about sixty-five years ago, that the last emperor of Wei, Zhao Yu, ascended the throne and the country was named Xuanwu.
In the face of internal and external troubles, Zhao Yu showed the courage that a king should have.
He is young and promising, and he wants to work hard to make Wei become stronger again.
Moreover, he has indeed made many remarkable achievements.
Under his governance, Wei's domestic industries slowly began to recover, and the economy slowly recovered.
The reason why Zhao Yu achieved all his achievements was because he reused two people.
Prime Minister Chai Junxie and General Ye Xun.
Chai Junxie and Ye Xun were both literary and military. One made suggestions in the court, while the other suppressed banditry and repelled foreign enemies. They worked together to complement each other and achieved remarkable results.
Moreover, the relationship between the two is very good, and many things even reach the point of understanding.
Sometimes when emergencies arise, Chai Junxie can guess what measures Ye Xun will take and what support he needs. Ye Xun can also guess what kind of arrangements Chai Junxie will make and how he needs to cooperate.
As a result, there were rumors in the Wei State that as long as Chai Junxie and Ye Xun were around, the Wei State would be forever strong.
It's just that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
At first, Wei Emperor Zhao Yu didn't take it seriously when he heard these rumors.
However, as time went by, he slowly began to worry.
Because, he felt that the reputation of these two people already far exceeded his own.
If things continue like this, the people of Wei will only know about Prime Minister Chai Junxie and General Ye Xun, but not the existence of Wei Emperor.
It seems that from ancient times to the present, people with great achievements will make people worry like this.
Wei Emperor Zhao Yu began to worry that if Chai Junxie and Ye Xun tried to harm him, his throne would be in jeopardy.
Therefore, he felt that he must cultivate his own power that could compete with Chai Junxie and Ye Xun.
The Shadow Gate came into being at this time.
The first master of the Shadow Sect was called Yan Yuxuan, and he was the personal eunuch of Wei Emperor Zhao Yu.
Yan Yuxuan has been with Wei Emperor Zhao Yu since he was a child. The two almost grew up together, so he is very loyal to Zhao Yu.
Yan Yuxuan was ordered to establish the Shadow Sect and did not participate in the affairs of the court. He only helped Wei Emperor Zhao Yu to monitor the words and deeds of the officials to prevent them from being disobedient.
Although Zhao Yu worked hard to govern at that time, the government of Wei was not very clear and clear, and many officials were corrupt.
The emergence of the Shadow Sect seemed like a sharp sword. It solved several major and important cases in succession and punished many corrupt officials.
It is precisely because of this that the Shadow Sect's position in Emperor Wei's heart has become very important, and it has been attached with important responsibilities.
The Shadow Sect began to not only have the power to supervise hundreds of officials, but also began to command the Criminal Department and investigate many major cases.
However, Yan Yuxuan did not find any substantive evidence about Chai Junxie and Ye Xun, the two people whom Chu Emperor Zhao Yu was most concerned about.
More than a year has passed like this, and the Shadow Sect has received more and more attention from Emperor Wei, and its power has become greater.
It was also at this time that they discovered a case involving a rebellion by a general under General Ye Xun.
It is said that Yan Yuxuan had just found some clues and was about to send them to the palace when he was assassinated.
Emperor Zhao Yu of Chu was furious and appointed Du Zhongxian, the deputy sect leader and eunuch, as the new sect leader to lead the Shadow Sect and investigate the matter thoroughly.
After Du Zhongxian took office, he began to vigorously cultivate his own power, collect money, and even used various means to eliminate dissidents, which suddenly made the entire court full of chaos.
Even though Chai Junxie and Ye Xun were there to compete with them, Wei Emperor Zhao Yu already had a estrangement between them. After being provoked by Du Zhongxian, he naturally no longer trusted them.
For a time, villains were in power in the court, and virtuous ministers suffered disaster; the people among the people were also miserable and complained.
In just a few years, Du Zhongxian's power increased greatly. He not only controlled the court, but also used his beauty to seduce Zhao Yu and neglect the government affairs.
Moreover, Du Zhongxian fabricated many false evidences to attribute the death of the previous Shadow Sect leader to General Ye Xun, and even slandered him for treason.
Wei Emperor Zhao Yu had no doubts about Du Zhongxian at this moment, so he directly imprisoned Ye Xun and executed everyone in his family.
Chai Junxie wrote many times to plead for mercy, saying that there must be something fishy in this, but Emperor Wei didn't listen at all and only listened to Du Zhongxian.
The Ye family was raided and executed. Chai Junxie had no choice but to secretly save Ye Ming, the only son of the Ye family.
The fate of the Ye family made Chai Junxie feel chilled, so he resigned and returned to his hometown.
Wei Emperor Zhao Yu agreed on the spot.
Ye Xun and Chai Junxie died and retreated. From then on, Du Zhongxian took over the power alone.
Du Zhongxian recruited countless disciples, and even accepted nine names. He excluded dissidents, harmed loyal people, and even more, plundered people's wealth and support.
His disciples all called him "Nine Thousand Years Old", and he was extremely powerful for a while.
In the tenth year of Xuanwu, Wei Emperor Zhao Yu ascended the throne for ten years.
The 9,000-year-old Du Zhongxian came to remonstrate with him and held a banquet in the palace, inviting all members of the royal family and ministers of the court to attend to promote the great achievements of Emperor Wei.
Wei Emperor Zhao Yu was very happy and performed the music on the spot.
But he didn't expect that that banquet would lead Wei Guo into the grave.
