"Gu Zhan?" Wu Yang frowned, a little confused, and said, "Does it have anything to do with Gu Zhan?"
"It's not that it has anything to do with Gu Zhan," Yang Yunzhi said: "It's just because Gu Zhan has suddenly risen to prominence, I'm a little curious about him. How can a commoner have such talent and ability?"
Wu Yang nodded and said: "I have also investigated this. Gu Zhan's cultivation has improved so fast. I once doubted whether there was any force behind him."
"Have you found anything?" Yang Yunzhi asked.
"No," Wu Yang said: "Except for his friendship with Furukawa, Gu Zhan has never been in contact with any big forces. Furukawa is still just a descendant of the Gu clan. His hands cannot be stretched that long. It is impossible to come from Kyoto. Support Gu Zhan, so after all possibilities were eliminated in the end, only the most unlikely possibility was left. Gu Zhan may really be gifted. According to my investigation, he only started to show up after his father passed away. Yes, maybe it has undergone a big change and transformed!"
Yang Yunzhi smiled slightly and said: "This is quite different from what I thought. Gu Zhan's father's name is Gu Shanjiang. He fled from Pingyang Mansion more than ten years ago. Gu Zhan was only two or three years old at that time. .”
Wu Yang frowned and said, "Is there something wrong with this Gu Shanjiang?"
"No problem," Yang Yunzhi said: "Fifteen years ago, there was a bandit trouble in Pingyang Mansion. At that time, a small family named Gu was indeed wiped out, and Gu Shanjiang was that family.
The reason why I traced Gu Shanjiang because of Gu Zhan was because of Gu Shanjiang's death. According to the files of the Inspection Department, Gu Shanjiang died at the hands of an alcoholic and troublemaker. "
Wu Yang said: "This is normal. In the turmoil last year, many imperial guards died. Although there are not many at the level of general banner counselor, there are only four or five. Nothing special."
Yang Yunzhi nodded and said: "It's nothing special, but I was interested in Gu Zhan's ability and knew that Furukawa was determined to train Gu Zhan to take over his position, so I thought of wooing Gu Zhan.
I originally wanted to capture the person who killed my father and hand it over to Gu Zhan so that he could accept my favor. However, when I was investigating the Jianghu man, I discovered something unexpected. That person... turned out to be A personal attendant of a helmsman of the White Lotus Sect. "
Wu Yang was stunned for a while, then smiled helplessly and said, "So this is the flaw I exposed?"
"Yes," Yang Yunzhi said, "Actually, all the major families in Linjiang County have had business dealings with the White Lotus Sect. Everyone knows this, and there is nothing wrong with doing some gray business.
However, it seemed very unusual for the White Lotus leader's personal entourage to appear here. I started investigating at that time and found that the turmoil in the world last winter was also a bit unusual. It seemed that someone was deliberately creating turmoil to hide something.
Combining these two points, I suspect that a leader from the White Lotus Sect has visited Linjiang City. "
Wu Yang sighed and said, "So, from that time on, you have been making plans."
Yang Yunzhi shook his head and said: "Even at that time, I couldn't believe it. After all, colluding with the White Lotus Sect to rebel was really unbelievable, but I was being watched too closely and it was inconvenient to investigate further.
So, I secretly helped Furukawa, allowing the Jin Yiwei to fight against each other, and all of you aristocratic families were happy to see it happen. After all, the Jin Yiwei at that time was neutral, whether it was from my lineage or yours. They all want to weaken him intentionally or unintentionally.
Luo Bingsheng died, Jin Yiwei was also divided, and all of your aristocratic families took a lot of advantage. I also found an opportunity to bring my junior brother Wan Yan here. It can be said that everyone is happy. "
Wu Yang said softly: "At that time, everyone was indeed happy. When our two lines were fighting, I thought I had the upper hand. I thought that Wan Yan and you were being plotted by me and acting according to my plan. Now that I think about it, it has always been the case. The illusion you deliberately gave me."
Yang Yunzhi said slowly: "The first confrontation was a test. When you lured us in by using the Rong family as a bait, Wan Yan and I were sure that your six aristocratic families had defected to the White Lotus Sect.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Later, Wan Yan predicted that you would seize on the shortcomings of his arrogant personality and make him fall into your trap step by step. He deliberately created a perverse and unruly image to make you think that he had fallen into a trap.
It’s just that during the process, both you and Wan Yan had to speed up their plans because of Gu Zhan’s sudden rise. You teamed up with Gu Zhan to take over Linjiang City in one fell swoop, while Wan Yan used his death to start the death war. the second half of the plan. "
Wu Yang sighed softly and said: "It is indeed Wan Yan's death that makes me completely believe that I won."
Yang Yunzhi was silent for a while, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes, and said: "I actually don't support this plan, but Wan Yan said that if he didn't die, your six aristocratic families would not join the game, so he chose to die. Then he gave me the second half of the death plan."
Wu Yang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said: "Your goal is the White Lotus Sect, and our six major families are just incidental."
Yang Yunzhi nodded and said: "If we are just dealing with your six aristocratic families, there is no need to use the Death Plan.
The White Lotus Sect had been dormant for several years since the rebellion joke ten years ago. Until the goddess appeared, the White Lotus Sect, which had always been disorganized, began to change its strategy. They secretly colluded with many scum of the court to cover for them, paralyzing the Holy Emperor.
The White Lotus Sect is clearly in Yunzhou, and everyone knows its intention to rebel, but the imperial court refuses to take action against them. We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the White Lotus Sect will penetrate even wider and wider, and when the time comes, they will directly let them go. Daxia is riddled with holes.
Therefore, Wan Yan and I made a plan. We created an opportunity for the White Lotus Sect to rebel that they were reluctant to give up. This was the Death Plan. "
After hearing this, Wu Yang sighed and said: "I did lose to you and Wan Yan in this round. Wan Yan's death made me think that my plan to seize Linjiang City was successful. Longguan There is a heavy supply camp that is in charge of Linjiang County."
Yang Yunzhi nodded and said: "Yunzhou has three major passes. Longguan is the most important one. It guards the city of Yunzhou. If we capture Longguan, it will be equivalent to capturing half of Yunzhou.
Linjiang County is in charge of a supply camp, and can easily obtain the layout of Longguan, and can also detect many military secrets of Longguan. Therefore, I sent these. The White Lotus Sect could not refuse such a God-given opportunity, and missed this opportunity. It is too difficult to conquer Longguan again, so the White Lotus Sect will definitely attack Longguan, and they will inevitably be exposed to the sun. The scum and moths in the court will no longer be able to deceive the saints, and the White Lotus Sect's danger can be eliminated! "
Wu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "But aren't you afraid that Long Pass will really be breached by the White Lotus Sect?"
