A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1061

[Chapter 1051 The Fisherman]

Wei Yujiang thought for a while before saying, “Master Hou, Jiang sees the flaw, just because he suddenly thought that there is no way that the Hidden Lord will come to the East China Sea, which is very intriguing.”

With a smile in Qi Ning’s eyes, he nodded and said, “Go ahead.”

“Jiang doesn’t know the true identity of the Hidden Lord, but he knows that it is impossible for the Hidden Lord to come to the East China Sea. Naturally, Jiang Mantian once revealed the slightest clue to him.” Wei Yujiang said, “I think now, the Hidden Lord. Why is it impossible to come to the East China Sea?”

“What do you think is possible?”

“There are at least two possibilities.” Wei Yujiang’s eyes lighted up: “The first possibility is that the body of the Hidden Lord prevents him from coming to the East China Sea.”

“Oh?” Qi Ning asked, “What’s the reason for your body?”

“Maybe it’s a disability, maybe it’s too weak.” Wei Yujiang said: “In short, because of the physical inconvenience, he really couldn’t come to the East China Sea at the risk of greater physical damage.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “That makes sense.” Then he asked, “What else could it be?”

“Identity!” Wei Yujiang said solemnly: “Perhaps the identity of the Hidden Lord is too special, and his whereabouts are of great importance.” After a pause, he continued: “For example, Lord Hou came to the East China Sea this time, although we He was very secretive when he came, but his whereabouts were still known. Maybe that’s the case with the hidden master. He has a special identity. Once he came to the East China Sea, he was likely to be known, and his identity could not appear in the East China Sea. .”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “I understand what you mean.”

“There may be other reasons, but I think the biggest reason is these two reasons, and the second reason may be even bigger.” Wei Yujiang said in a low voice: “Master Hou said before that it can make Lu Shanghe and Lu Shanghe work together. It is not easy for Jiang Mantian to obey orders. The identity of the hidden master is naturally unusual. His whereabouts are likely to be noticed all the time, and he even comes into contact with many people every day, but no one will know that he is a hidden master. host.”

Qi Ning thought for a while before saying, “Is it possible that the hidden master is from Dongqi?”

Wei Yujiang immediately said: “Master Hou also suspects that he is from Dongqi?”

With the word “also”, he naturally expressed his doubts. Qi Ning smiled and said, “Wei Sishen also thought about being from Dongqi?”

“Master Hou, among the bandits this time, there are ninjas from Fusang. I know even in my humble position. Most of those ninjas living in the East China Sea are in the northern part of the East China Sea, and they belong to the sphere of influence of the people of Dongqi.” Wei Yujiang is low. Said: “Beijing has also heard people mention that there are a group of people in Fusang who are like ghosts and are good at assassination and tracking. I still remember that someone joked at that time that the group of Fusang ninjas were driven out of the country and fled to the East China Sea. Maybe the people of Dongqi I will take these people for my own use.”

Qi Ning smiled faintly and said, “With the financial resources of the people of Dong Qi, it is not difficult to support a group of ninjas.”

“If this group of ninjas are really taken by the people of Dongqi, then the appearance of ninjas in the East China Sea must be inseparable from the people of Dongqi.” Wei Yujiang said sternly.

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “As far as I know, the blacksmiths on the Iron Island were tricked into the boat by a man from Dong Qi, and then smuggled them to the East China Sea.”

“That’s it.” Wei Yujiang immediately said: “The blacksmiths and ninjas on the Iron Island are all related to the people of Dong Qi. The Jiang family must have colluded with Dong Qi, so it is very possible that the master Yin was born in Dong Qi.”

Qi Ning frowned slightly and said, “Jiang family forged weapons in the East China Sea. They started preparations a few years ago. That is to say, as early as a few years ago, it was possible for people from East Qi to contact this side.”

“Dongqi is located between the Northern Han Dynasty and our Great Chu, and it’s lingering.” Wei Yujiang sneered: “They know that the East China Sea family has dissent towards my Great Chu, and secretly colluded with the East China Sea family. Being attacked by the enemy will naturally be of great benefit to the Eastern Qi.”

“Look for an opportunity!” Qi Ning pondered for a while, his expression became serious, and whispered: “When the people of Dongqi learned about the change in the north, they immediately married our Chu country, and sent the prince Duan Shao to the Chu country in person.

The purpose is to join forces to send troops to Beihan Weisi. Now, do you think there is a fraud in this?

”

“When Lord Hou said this, I also feel that there is something strange about it.” Wei Yujiang’s expression became more serious: “There is a civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty, so let’s take the opportunity to go north. For several years, Dong Qi remained motionless from start to finish, but this time!”

“This time they are very active. It seems that the attack on the Northern Han is even more urgent than us.” Qi Ning sighed.

“Last time they didn’t act rashly, and the East China Sea side was calm as usual. Maybe it was because everything was not ready.” Wei Yujiang said: “The East China Sea family is not ready yet, so they don’t dare to make trouble at all, but the last time the war happened, it wasn’t. Let the people of Eastern Qi know that I, the Great Chu and the Northern Han, will eventually be divided, so I want to take advantage of the opportunity of another war between the two countries, Lord Hou, I wonder if this is possible?”

“Naturally there is.” Qi Ning sighed, “As you said, Dong Qi survived, and they knew very well in their hearts that in the end, no matter who Chu Han wins, their Qi country will face extinction, so they must also be there. Find a plan to survive.”

Wei Yujiang said: “Beijing is thinking, if I, the Great Chu, really send troops to attack the Han state in the north, once the main force crosses the river and fights the Han state, then the people of the Qi state block the waterway, what kind of danger will we face? The Donghai Navy is under control, and once they join forces with the Dongqi Navy, there will be no one on the water to fight against it. At that time, the East China Sea rebels will go north, and the people of Qi will send troops to invade our Great Chu territory!”

He did not continue, but Qi Ning naturally understood the meaning, and both of them knew in their hearts that once such a situation really occurred, the state of Chu State would be in jeopardy.

When Chu State used troops against Northern Han, it was natural to use all its elites. Once attacked from behind, the main force would be dragged in the territory of Han State, and the waterway was blocked, so it was impossible to help.

“If that’s the case, we may have fallen into a big trap.” Qi Ning sighed, “I am on a mission to Dong Qi to welcome Princess Tianxiang. Everything seems to be our initiative to form an alliance with Dong Qi, and we can know that. It is very likely that the people of Qi will be waiting for us to go there.” Eyebrows were knitted together: “The people of Qi are eager to send troops to join us, perhaps to move the tigers away from the mountains. The purpose is to let our troops from Chu go north to attack the Han, and they can take the opportunity. Implement your own plan.”

“Master Hou, all of this is just a wrong guess, it may not be the case.” Wei Yujiang said: “But the court is already planning the Northern Expedition. Once it is determined, it will be even more difficult to change the decision of the court, so Before we send troops, we must understand the minds of the people of Qi, and I, Chu, must also take a safe and sound plan.”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “Yes, the matter here will be dealt with as soon as possible, and we will rush to the capital as soon as possible.”

Now that the imperial court is discussing matters concerning the Northern Expedition, Qi Ning knows that the core person must be Ma Lan of the Zhenguo Company. Once troops are dispatched, all the yamen in the capital will focus on the Northern Expedition, and everything will revolve around the war. , it is like pulling the bow and pulling the strings, ready to go. Even if you raise your doubts to the court, if there is not enough evidence to prove that the people of the Eastern Qi have evil intentions, the court will never change the decision just because of their own words. .

Although it is very likely that the hidden master is from Dongqi, or even a high-level executive of Dongqi, this is only a judgment made by himself through some clues that he has at the moment. Nor is it entirely tenable.

Fortunately, Qi Ning did not wait too long in the East China Sea. A few days later, an imperial decree was delivered from the capital, but it was an old acquaintance of Qi Ning who conveyed the imperial decree, Fan Dehai, the eunuch in charge of the palace.

Fan Dehai read out the emperor’s will at the Prefect’s Mansion. Before that, Qi Ning, Xin Ci and others were invited to the Prefect’s Mansion.

The three documents that Qi Ning and the three presented on the same day obviously played a big role. Tantai Huang, the Marquis of the Golden Sword, was conferred the title of Duke Yi, and Tantai Zhilin was posthumously named the Marquis of Jinghai. Now he is far away in Xichuan. Tantai Zhixiu inherited the title of Marquis of the Golden Sword.

In addition, Chen Ting remained as the prefect of the East China Sea. The emperor rewarded a pair of paintings and calligraphy written by himself, and Xin Ci officially became the governor of the East China Sea Normal University. Other related people, such as Qin Yuege and others, also received awards. However, there was no clear reward for Qi Ning, only that Beijing would give the reward again. As for the black tiger shark Mo Yanbai and his hundreds of bandits, the court allowed them to surrender, and it was ordered that Xinci should recruit security on the spot and properly. As for how to deal with it, there is no clear intention in the will.

Except for some of the family members of the Donghai family who were detained, most of them will be sent to Xichuan by Chen Ting. Ning personally escorted the capital.

After the decree was read out, everyone thanked them. Qi Ning got up and took the decree and congratulated Xin Ci and Chen Ting. Both Xin Ci and Chen Ting knew that if it wasn’t for Qi Ning this time, not to mention being rewarded by the imperial court, once the Donghai family Because of the chaos, even if his life is not guaranteed, Qi Ning is naturally very grateful.

Fan Dehai smiled and said: “Master Hou, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com The Holy Master did not reward you in his will, so there must be a bigger reward waiting for you to be rewarded later in Beijing. The miscellaneous family congratulates Master Hou here first.”

“Father Fan has worked hard all the way, Lord Chen, tonight, you can prepare a feast for your father-in-law to pick up the dust.” Qi Ning said with a smile.

Chen Ting hurriedly said: “Xiaguan will send someone to prepare, and I will never dare to neglect.”

“Father-in-law, please wait here for a day.” Qi Ning said: “The weapons and materials that were seized have already started to be shipped before you arrived, but there are too many materials and not enough vehicles and horses, so all the shipments have not been completed, but There’s still one day left, and it’s almost there. Besides, the journey to the capital is quite long, and these supplies are very important, so they must be taken care of. I will discuss with Lord Chen and Governor Xin about escorting the convoy.”

Fan Dehai said with a smile: “It’s okay, the miscellaneous family is waiting here, and the Hou Ye and everyone don’t have to worry.”

“The father-in-law has worked hard all the way, and the lower official will arrange accommodation.” Chen Ting cupped his hands and said: “Wait until the banquet is ready, and then invite the father-in-law to the banquet.”

“Master Chen, my father-in-law and I haven’t seen each other for a few days. I miss it a lot. I just want to talk. Where do you think is suitable?” Qi Ning smiled.

Chen Ting immediately understood, raised his hand and said, “Master Hou, father-in-law, please!”

Qi Ning also smiled at Fan Dehai: “Please!” Chen Ting led the way, and the two followed to the back hall. The other officials all retired first, and when they got to the back hall, Chen Ting asked someone to bring tea and also backed away. After going down, Qi Ning smiled and said: “I didn’t expect the father-in-law to come in person. It’s really hard work. The palace should send someone else over.”

“Master Hou, this is hard to say!” Fan Dehai smiled bitterly, his face depressed
