Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1000 The Real Power

The eldest princess added: "Although the consort and I are not involved in world affairs, it is precisely because we are outsiders that we can see more clearly. I know that you and Ming Yong are tracking down a group of unidentified people. Do you have any clues?"

Changsun Tao shook his head: "I have no clue. Although I am sure who the opponent is, I have not yet found a clue as to how the opponent's power was cultivated."

The eldest princess said: "When I was young, I heard my father tell me a story. He said that a long time ago, the world was divided into five parts. For a long time, all countries were in melee."

"So a group of knowledgeable people gathered together, and they spent several generations creating a "Group of Nations." It is said that that thing has the power to easily destroy a country."

"How many people fought one after another in order to obtain this "Genealogy of Nations", until our ancestors obtained it and used it to unify the world."

"Some people think that this thing records the burial places of treasures from various countries. Some people think that this thing records the military defense maps of various countries. Some people say that it records terrible weapons."

"But everyone is wrong. This thing contains the identity information of tens of thousands of people, and these tens of thousands of people were planted in various countries by secret organizations created by those who produced "The Genealogy of Nations" Work carefully."

"This is the accumulation of several generations. These meticulous works have penetrated into every place in the country. Holding these fine works is equivalent to holding a powerful force."

"Zhaohua, do you think that after hundreds of years, someone will repeat the same trick? Since the nine tribes of the Lu Mansion were wiped out, Great Qin has gone downhill. How many people have been displaced, and what is happening to these displaced people now?"

Changsun Tao murmured: "In more than ten years, a lot of things can be accomplished."

Suddenly, Changsun Tao thought of what Rihe had mentioned - the pendant she and Xie Yun were wearing was a sign of belongings given by the mysterious man.

Thinking of this, Changsun Tao told the eldest princess to be more careful, and then led his subordinates to the post house.

Because Hiyori "poisoned" Prince Qi's palace chief, Shi, but because he was Izumo's envoy, he was finally imprisoned in a posthouse, waiting for Izumo to come and get people.

When Chang Sun Tao arrived, Hui Hui in his arms was scurrying around uneasily. Chang Sun Tao asked his subordinates to wait outside first and not to scare the snake.

He drew his sword again and sneaked into the post house with his superb qinggong.

Inside, it was empty.

Except for the guards outside, everyone in the posthouse seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

And on the ground, there will sometimes be a pool of unknown liquid that exudes a foul odor.

Suddenly, Changsun Tao threw the sword in his hand, and then turned into a shadow that was almost invisible and ran towards the sword.

When he saw him clearly, he was holding the hilt of the sword.

And one end of the sword was stabbing into the chest of a man in black.

Several men in black came from all directions, holding strange weapons in their hands, and attacked Changsun Tao without hesitation.

But Changsun Tao, who had already experienced fighting enemies, quickly defeated these men in black.

When the door was opened, Hiyori was lying in a pool of blood, and her blood was burning with blue flames. Where the strange flames burned, the flesh and blood turned into an unknown liquid.

Changsun Tao knelt down and looked at the dying Rihe and asked, "What does that pendant mean?"

Hiyori vomited a large mouthful of blood, held on for a breath, and said: "I...I have said...I have said...King Qi, don't...don't let Shengde Palace go down...to explore your life experience...protect... …Protect him…”

By the time the last words were spoken, Hiyori had expired, her legs were swallowed up by the flames, then her body, and finally her whole person.

Just like that, Rihe disappeared in front of Changsun Tao and disappeared out of thin air.

Chang Sun Tao connected everything that happened today, and an unknown premonition came to his mind.

He quickly filled some liquid in a glass bottle, and then went to the corpses of the assassins, trying to find some clues from them.

But without exception, all the corpses turned into a pool of blood like the one in the secret passage.

Changsun Tao stopped staying and quietly left the post house. Then he ordered his subordinates not to spread the news that he had entered the post house tonight.

Then, Chang Sun Tao returned to Prince Qi's Mansion.

The palace was as peaceful as the palace, and no assassins came to attack.

"Yan Yan." Changsun Tao rushed to the banquet hall in a hurry. He was relieved to see Lu Mingyu safe and sound.There were many people in the hall, so it was inconvenient for Lu Mingyu to ask, and it was also inconvenient for Chang Sun Tao to speak.

Lu Mingyu asked Ah Liu to continue storytelling, while she took the opportunity to leave the banquet hall with Chang Sun Tao.

Mr. Feng and Baili Wuxiang also came out, and soon, Sima Xuanmo and Xie Yun also came to the wing where they were.

Changsun Tao got straight to the point: "Something is going to happen in the court."

Mr. Feng looked solemn: "What happened?"

Changsun Tao explained: "Previously, I received news that assassins would assassinate my clan members. I and Duke Yue set up defenses to prevent the assassins from attacking."

"However, the assassin changed his target. He did not attack the clan members, but some minor officials. Two people in the Ministry of Rites have been brutally murdered. Maybe tomorrow, all departments will report the death of the minor officials."

"The positions of these minor officials are not important. They are like an inconspicuous brick in the city wall. If one brick is missing, it can be replaced. But if countless bricks are missing overnight, the city wall will collapse."

"At the same time, the Izumo mission was silenced. When I arrived, they had all turned into pools of unknown liquid."

As he spoke, Changsun Tao handed the glass bottle to Baili Wuxiang's hand: "Master, see if you can find out what this thing is that can turn corpses and clothes into liquid. Hold it farther away and test it. Yan Yan can't test it at this time. Any danger.”

Mr. Feng pondered for a moment and said: "King Qi, do you think those assassins wanted to blame Rihe and his daughter for the assassination of the minor officials, so they killed them? They also used poison to purify their bodies. Is the purpose to lead us to mistakenly think that they are absconding in fear of crime?"

Changsun Tao said: "That's probably the case. Their murder has not been discovered yet."

Mr. Feng said: "Then just hide it. Someone has to take responsibility for the murder of the minor official. It is better for people to think that Rihe and his daughter fled in fear of crime after killing people than for people to know that there is such a dangerous assassin in Da Qin."

Xie Yun said: "That's fine. If many people die, it will definitely attract attention, but people are more afraid of the unknown. If everyone thinks that the murderer is Hiyori and his daughter, then they who think they have found the murderer will not be too panicked."

Si Ma important."

"When I was out and about, a dung picker accidentally fell to his death while drunk. Then no one picked up the dung in the latrine, and it ended up being so smelly that the latrine couldn't even be used."

Lu Mingyu said: "Isn't the Spring Festival about to begin? I can choose people from those people to fill the vacancies in various departments."

Changsun Tao said: "When replacing these people, it is also a good time for the other party to plant spies, so people who cannot be trusted cannot be used casually, otherwise spies will infiltrate into various ministries, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Mr. Feng said: "What King Qi said is right. This is exactly what I am worried about! The assassins are really cunning. If the big officials can't be moved, they will move on the smaller officials. If they move too much, we will have to find someone to fill the gap. In this way , the weakness will appear in front of the enemy, allowing the enemy to take advantage of it."

Sima Xuanmo asked: "Master Xiang, don't you have a lot of students? Let's start with them!"

Mr. Feng shook his head: "They are not mature enough to take on big responsibilities, and we cannot let those who have not yet learned to rush to the shelves. If they are not careful, they will be self-defeating and the consequences will be more serious."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty does not want my power to be too strong. If all these vacancies are filled with my people, I might be immediately identified as the murderer. Your Majesty still has to make up his mind on this matter."

Changsun Tao said: "For the time being, we can let the people in each department take over for a while. We can persuade His Majesty to open Enke to solve the vacancy problem, and we must also implement some measures to prevent other minor officials from being murdered again."

Everyone agreed and discussed for a long time before preparing to disperse.

Changsun Tao stopped Xie Yun and said, "Xie Yun, I have something to say to you."

Lu Mingyu knew that these two people had something to say, so he left first.

Mr. Feng returned to the banquet hall and couldn't find Xiao Qian and Wen Yin anywhere, so he quickly asked Sima Xuanmo and Baili Wuxiang to follow them.

Lu Mingyu was supported by Lu Yi back to the banquet hall. Someone bumped into her from the dark. Fortunately, she dodged quickly and was safe.

After they stood still, they discovered that the person coming was actually Wen Yin.

Wen Yin just made an excuse to go to the toilet, so Xiao Qian and Lu Xi followed her, but she slipped away from the bride's room. As soon as they caught up with her, they saw her bumping into Lu Mingyu.

Xiao Qian was so frightened that her heart rose to her throat. After reacting, she quickly stood in front of Lu Mingyu and shouted at Wen Yin: "The light is so bright, are you blind? Why did you hit my sister! What if my sister has anything? If you make a mistake, I will not forgive you."

Wen Yin lowered her head and said nothing, which made Xiao Qian even more aggressive.

The scene of Xiao Qian blaming Wen Yin happened to fall into the eyes of Mr. Feng who had just arrived.
