Chapter 983: King Yan
And just when he left Changshan County, Lu Zhi was assassinated. However, Zhao Yun really received the relevant news after he returned to the Pingzhou Army!
When more details of the assassination came, Zhao Yun realized that he had been used, and it was the mentor he had always been most grateful and respected to use him.
Although he was used by his master, with Zhao Yun's temperament, he still chose to hide it from his master, who had the dual kindness of nurturing and teaching art, and even said nothing under Shang Ji's inquiry.
If it weren't for Shang Ji confirming that he hadn't given a similar order, and at the same time trusting Zhao Yun's character, Shang Ji couldn't help but wonder if this was true!
In the end, Shang Ji used the power of a thousand illusions to find some clues, and then took the opportunity to deceive Zhao Yun, and finally found out the truth.
After knowing what had happened, Shang Ji immediately sent the Shadow Clothes Secret Martial Arts to the small valley where Master Zhao Yun lived in seclusion, but by the time the Shadow Clothes Secret Martial Arts arrived, the building was already empty.
It was clear that they had been prepared.
As for "Zhao Yun", losing the dragon pattern sword on the battlefield in a panic is the most obvious means of blame!
Originally, Shang Ji planned to announce the situation first, regardless of whether he could win the trust of others or not, it was better than keeping silent!
But Zhao Yun begged bitterly, begging Shang Ji not to say it, for fear of ruining the reputation of his teacher.
This made Shang Ji angry and hateful, but in the end, he couldn't stand Zhao Yun's pleadings and reluctantly agreed to his request.
I didn't believe it anyway!
The whereabouts and tracks, martial arts moves, speech and demeanor are all consistent, and there is a dragon pattern sword as ironclad evidence, unless Shang Ji can catch the person who is pretending to be Zhao Yun, otherwise all explanations are in vain!
He began to think about building another dragon sword. With Hephaestus here, a celestial-level weapon, let him work harder, and he can get it in three days of overtime.
However, it is easy to build a heaven-level weapon, but the difficult thing is to forge another dragon sword!
All equipment above the heaven level is unique, and weapons at this level have "spirits", and these "spirits" are bred in the casting materials, and the clever blacksmith can take advantage of the growth of Cui Dong's "spirit" and cast it into finished equipment.
Just as a farmer can harvest seeds by farming, but he can't create them out of thin air. No matter how clever a blacksmith is, it is impossible to create a "spirit" out of thin air, let alone create a spirit that is exactly the same as the "spirit" in the dragon sword.
The way to prove one's innocence by forging a dragon pattern sword is completely cut off.
And even if the dragon pattern sword is created, it will not be able to completely clear the suspicion on Zhao Yun's body, because there is a 99.9% chance that the dragon pattern sword that killed Lu Zhi is Zhao Yun's matching sword!
If you really want to be more serious in this regard, it is simply forcing Zhao Yun to his death!
That's why Shang Ji took the risk of being misunderstood by Xun Yu, and Qiankun was arbitrary, and terminated the discussion in this regard with an almost arrogant attitude.
It's just that what Shang Ji didn't expect was that Zhao Yun had such an upright personality, and he would rather commit suicide to prove his innocence than confide in his master.
Fortunately, the Liu family noticed Zhao Yun's life and death intentions, and stopped Zhao Yun's behavior in time, otherwise it would be a big trouble if he really let him kill himself on the spot!
What makes Shang Ji even more annoyed now is that in addition to being sure that Lu Zhi's death has nothing to do with him, he can't rule out the suspicion of any one. I love to read Chinese
First of all, the biggest suspect is naturally Dong Zhuo, as soon as Lu Zhi dies, the newly established alliance against Dong will immediately be in danger of falling apart, judging from the results, Dong Zhuo is the biggest beneficiary of Lu Zhi's death, and the suspicion is naturally the greatest.
Secondly, Yuan Shao is also very suspicious!
The most obvious point is that Yuan Shao's reaction after Lu Zhi's death was somewhat abnormal. Lu Zhi killed Yuan Shao and claimed to avenge him, and pointed the finger at Shang Ji, and his firm attitude was incomprehensible.
You must know that tens of thousands of people in the Yuan family have just been slaughtered by Dong Zhuo, and the sea of blood in the Yuan Mansion has not dried up yet! You didn't go to Dong Zhuo for revenge, but instead held on to Lu Zhi's death, avenging one by one, and avenging Lu Gong one by one, people who don't know still think that your surname is Lu and not Yuan!
Thinking darkly, Lu Zhi is not dead, the position of the leader of the alliance to fight for Dong Coalition must be Lu Zhi's, Yuan Shao don't think about this position, Lu Zhi dies and Yuan Shao has a high chance of sitting in the position of the leader of the alliance as in history.
It is difficult to say whether Yuan Shao will make a black hand for the position of the alliance leader, never underestimate the psychological bottom line of careerists, let alone underestimate the gold content of the alliance leader.
From another point of view, after defeating Dong Zhuo, with Lu Zhi's temperament, he must really go to Kuang to support the Han family, with his prestige, ability and the support of the state army under his command, coupled with the righteous name of the imperial court, it really brought the Han family back to life.
How can the princes who are accustomed to living a happy life on one side accept this kind of result, from this point of view, almost all the princes are suspicious.
Even Lu Bu, who looked the most innocent, was suspicious. Lu Zhi died, and the millions of elite and state troops under his command became ownerless. The sect member has neither the ability nor the prestige to control the state army, and the one who is most likely to receive Lu Zhi's inheritance is Lu Bu.
If you can't protect Lu Bu's heart, he will kill Lu Zhi directly!
Of course, this probability is very low, it is not Shang Ji's trust in Lu Bu's discipline, but the series of operations such as luring Zhao Yun, deceiving the dragon pattern sword, pretending to assassinate, and planting blame cannot be controlled by Lu Bu, even if he has Chen Gong's assistance!
But there is no point in considering these issues now, judging from the reactions of Gongsun Zhan, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Kong Rong and others, even if they know that there is a cat in it, they have to pretend not to know, and first encourage everyone to destroy Shang Ji!
Dong Zhuo's cholera dynasty made him Huo Huobei, and with Dong Zhuo's crazy energy, it won't take long for him to perish on his own. Wouldn't it be nice to let him go crazy for a while, avoid his edge, and then pick up the fruit at the end?
Compared with Dong Zhuo, the increasingly powerful Shang Ji is their real threat.
At least Dong Zhuo is still separated from them, and Shang Ji is only a line away from them!
Shang Ji saw this issue very clearly, and now the focus of the problem has changed from the death of Lu Zhi to the annexation between the princes, or the death of Lu Zhi opened the curtain of the annexation of the princes!
Among the princes of the world, the strongest is undoubtedly Dong Zhuo, followed by Shang Ji.
Dong Zhuo's temperament has changed greatly, and he is naturally extremely dangerous in the short term, but in the long run, he is no longer qualified to win the country. In this way, the greatest threat to the princes was changed from Dong Zhuo to Shang Ji.
In other words, it is entirely possible that the plot of the princes discussing Dong will evolve into "the princes discussing Dong"!
"In this case, is it feasible for Dong Shang to join forces to fight the heroes?"
While thinking about this question, Shang Ji's gaze stayed on the introduction of the Yan King on the attribute panel.
[Yan Wang]: A special title, which can be obtained automatically by joining Dong Zhuo's camp. Wearing this title can obtain the privilege of founding the country, and the territory is Youping and Chenji five states. It can be divided into vassals, civil and military officials, harem concubines, princes, and special troops such as the Great Yan Praetorian Guard, the Great Yan Iron Cavalry, the Great Yan Fierce Pawn, the Great Yan Warrior, and the Great Yan Strong Archers, and you can enjoy the national fortune bonus.
Fighting in the five prefectures will increase the combat effectiveness of the army by 20 percent, the people in the five prefectures will be subordinate, and the people's antipathy to waging war will drop by a large margin, and the morale of the enemy will continue to decline with the passage of time when fighting against the internal armies of the five states.
Note: It is currently in a sealed state, and if you join Dong Zhuo's camp, you can activate the title and obtain some title privileges to assist Dong Zhuo in defeating the Anti-Dong Alliance, and all title privileges will be activated.
