Qingle Bo, an idler who defended the country, couldn't leave Mingyue Tower, but the VIPs of Shazong could still walk around the city, and even enter the palace to see King Xuan.

That's how unequal the world is.

Duanfang's sources were undoubtedly much more reliable, and Yan Saburo didn't think that now was a good time to expand his contacts in Anlai City.

"The rebellion broke out the night before. Duan Fang really knew it a long time ago, "The rebels are indeed well-armed. There was a lieutenant surnamed Yang who lived in Qingzhi Town, and his family was killed. The rebels hung his head on a pillar in the middle of the town, and it was said that everyone applauded. ”

Speaking of this, he explained to Yan Sanlang: "I heard that the people of Qingzhi are a mixture of Xi and Duo people, and there are only a few households in the Tongyuan clan. ”

"I know. The young man still has an impression of Qingzhi Town, "Although the Tongyuan clan has few people there, they are either officials or rich people, and they are either powerful or rich, and they are superior to others. ”

The "Liu Ye" and others who were cleaned up by him at the beginning were Tong Yuanren, who were just Yang Duwei's personal soldiers, so they could walk sideways in the town and oppress the "untouchables".

"What's the situation like now?"

Although the enchantment had been laid, Duan Fang also subconsciously lowered his voice: "I heard that the Xuan Wang Court has dispatched the Chengji garrison to encircle and suppress, but the result is unknown. ”

"Qingzhi Town itself is a pass, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. "Yan Saburo knows that there are few dangerous terrains near Anlai to defend, and Qingzhi Town is counted as one. It is backed by mountains, and Yan Saburo arrived in Qingzhi Town by mountain road half a month ago. "But in any case, even if the townsfolk can temporarily resist the attack of the garrison, they will not be able to hold out for long. ”

It is too easy for the people of Tongyuan to deal with a small town, and it is easy to cut off its roads and water sources.

"By the way, isn't there something big going on in Anlai City or the palace?" Chitose hinted to Yan Saburo, who asked Duan Fang.

This time, Duanfang's eyes flickered, and he replied not so happily: "What's this...... It's hard to say. ”

It's hard to say, but there is, and it's inconvenient for outsiders.

Yan Saburo understood in seconds, and he didn't ask.

Complete one's misery.

On this day, Huo Dongjin came back from the outside and brought back two pieces of news by the way:

First of all, the royal court suddenly appointed the new head of the Dragon Tooth Academy, who was named Hou Nanzhu.

"Hou Nanzhu?" Yan Saburo nodded, "I've heard of it." ”

This one is also a celebrity, known as the above Tao Wu strategy, it is said that many of the civil affairs issued by Yan Xiao after his accession to the throne came from his advice. But in terms of fame, he is not as good as the former mountain chief Buku.

The most important thing is that "he is also a member of the Sha Sect, an outsider, and a native of Yuncheng." ”

It is the same door of the end side.

When Yan Saburo heard this, he understood: "King Xuan's court has compromised. ”

Huo Dongjin looked at him and was really a little admired.

Less than two months after the young master came to Xuanguo, he found out the intricate relationship between the surface and the back, which is really amazing.

Although Yan Xiao established the Xuanguo, the Shazong also took the opportunity to infiltrate his own power into the Xuanwang court.

Both sides take what they need.

Twenty years have passed, and the power of the Sand Sect has become more and more powerful. After Yan Xiao's death, the regent monopolized power, probably regarded these Shazong people as a thorn in his side, and took the opportunity of purging corruption and incompetence to get rid of a large number of officials from the Shazong and replace them with his own forces.

Boogie Lun is a prime example of this.

The Sha Sect must have been dissatisfied with Yan Lie's good life.

After the theft of the artifact stele, natural disasters followed, and an unprecedented uprising broke out in the western part of Xuanguo, and the Duo people planned to establish themselves as a state.

Xuan Guo can't bear it, but it can't offend all its opponents at once. In accordance with the principle of pulling one faction and fighting another, Yan Lie had to pacify the Sha Sect and heal the rift that had already arisen between the two sides.

Therefore, he only raided the Bujilen family, but did not immediately behead the public. This is not in line with his always "jealous and hateful" style, Yan Saburo has long deduced that this is his bargaining chip in negotiations with Shazong.

Sure enough, the Sha Sect came to Duanfang.

On the surface, Duan Fang was accompanying Qiu Jiaojiao to rescue his uncle Bu Jilun, but in fact, he wanted to fight with King Xuan for Shazong's important interests in Anlai City-

Dragon's Tooth Academy.

Dragon's Tooth Academy is a place to cultivate talents, and it is also an important stronghold for carving the name of the Sha Sect into the minds of every student, after all, people are always very affectionate towards their alma mater.

Chitose smiled: "Yan Lie must have exploded, and the big fat meat that was about to arrive in his hand was spit back to the Sha Zong." ”

Yan Lie took a lot of effort to pull Buku down from the position of mountain chief, thanks to the fact that he had a father who was corrupt and bribed, and specialized in pit his son. The vacated position of the mountain chief, Yan Lie must have wanted to arrange his henchman to serve as it, but he didn't know that Qiu Jiaojiao died suddenly at this time.

When Elder Chuangong died violently in the Xuan Palace, or when he was seeking explanations for Bu Jilun's death, the Xuan Wang Court had an unshirkable responsibility due to time, place, and events.

If this matter is not handled quickly, well, and timely, the Sha Sect will definitely be furious.

is as strong as Xuanguo, and he is not sure to fight against the rebellion in the west and the Shazong in the east at the same time, not to mention that the Shazong is powerful in the royal court, and the voice against Yan Lie has never stopped, and it has become louder and louder in the past few months.

Tangled and entangled, the best way to appease the Sha Sect is the appointment and dismissal of the head of the Dragon Tooth Academy.

The lesser of two evils.

Thinking of this, Yan Saburo subconsciously looked through the window and looked at the room at the end.

"It's time for the end to get your wish. ”

Qiu Jiaojiao died, but Duan Fang completed his task and successfully brought back the position of the mountain chief of the Dragon Tooth Academy in place of the Sha Zong.

These days, he must have been lobbying and negotiating in the Xuan Palace.

Chitose smiled: "Now, do you still think that he is not suspected of murder?"

Yan Saburo shook his head.

In the face of others, he may still have doubts. But who is the end of the party?

Duan Fang plotted against Yang Hengxi to avenge Liu Zhaoqing's family, and it took many years to kill Mei Jing, preparing to seize her position as the head of Yunxiu Peak, the most terrible thing is that he concealed it from the top and bottom of the Sha Sect, or at least no one caught him.

This man's scheming and city government are second to none, and he is particularly cold-blooded. If it was said that he killed Qiu Jiaojiao in order to talk about the head of the Dragon Tooth Academy, Yan Saburo was not surprised at all.

However, he also said: "Although Duan Fang is ruthless, killing Qiu Jiaojiao should not be his best strategy to achieve his goal." So, what happened in between?"

Duan Fang should be the same as him, knowing that killing people is usually not the best way to solve problems. What did Qiu Jiaojiao do to make Duan Fang suddenly murderous?

Then, Huo Dongjin said the second news:

Because of the riot near the capital, the Xuanwang Palace strictly checked the entry and exit, so as not to mix in the traitors, and the security level was raised by at least two levels, so that the difficulty of honeysuckle out of the palace also skyrocketed, and it was easy to cause interrogation.

Concubine Yu's second trip to Tiefu was also vetoed by the regent on the grounds of "unsafe", and it was scheduled for an indefinite date.

She couldn't get out.
