"he?"

Zuo Chongming laughed out loud: "He thought he was the mastermind behind the scenes, but he didn't know that he was just a puppet on strings, with the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind."

"Is there anyone else behind the scenes?"

Ouyang Yu frowned: "Is he just a chess piece?"

"You'll know if you think about it carefully."

Zuo Chongming sneered: "How can a Guiyuan realm warrior deliver information to the three major holy places and major Buddhist temples in a short period of time?"

"He can hire someone." Ouyang Yu thought of a possibility.

"Don't take those bald donkeys for fools."

Zuo Chongming shook his head: "The extreme west is my territory. It is easy to follow the clues. If I really want to do this, he will be out of touch."

"Why?"

Ouyang Yu asked.

Zuo Chongming: "Although we all eat fast and recite the Buddha's name, there is more than one Buddha, and different people read the same Buddhist scriptures and understand different principles."

"So, the group of bald donkeys in the far west are fighting each other lively. They use common methods such as planting spies and spies."

"If Liu Binghui really does this, the news will spread soon, and then those bald donkeys will think that he is deliberately trying to make trouble."

For the person who is trying to make a fire, it is still an ant, and no one would mind squeezing it to death first.

Ouyang Yu shook his head and returned to the topic: "Who is the mastermind behind this?"

Zuo Chongming curled his lips: "Liu Binghui's family committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and they should have been executed long ago, but now he is alive and kicking. Who do you think he is?"

Ouyang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she turned pale in horror: "You mean...hiss...you can't, right?"

"Why not?" Zuo Chongming was quite puzzled by her surprise.

Ouyang Yu stammered: "He, doesn't he think highly of you, even marrying a princess and making a champion? How could..."

"But that doesn't make him afraid of me."

"But why is he afraid of you? You are only in the Guiyuan realm."

Zuo Zhongming said something shocking: "Because he... is about to die."

Ouyang Yu was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked in a solemn voice: "Huh? Are these two things related?"

"I am seventeen this year."

Zuo Chongming pointed to himself: "I have already paid homage to the prince, and am also the envoy of the town. I am riding a dragon to my son-in-law, and I will arrive at the realm of Guiyuan..."

"Xiyun Mansion is located on the border, next to Congyun Mansion, and beyond that is the Southern Border Wilderness. I will have a lot of opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future."

"Based on my ability, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it is possible for me to be a county guardian envoy, a state pastoral envoy, or even a command envoy."

Ouyang Yu suppressed the shock in his heart and squeezed out the question through his teeth: "So?"

"The territory of the Wu Dynasty was too large."

Zuo Chongming showed a hint of sarcasm: "It takes at least ten years for the new emperor to become familiar with government affairs and stabilize the government after he ascends the throne."

"Ten years is too long. How far do you think I can go if you give me ten years? A county guardian or a state pastor?"

"By then it will be too late to touch me, because as long as I don't make any big mistakes, the new emperor will not be able to touch me."

"The most critical thing is that I am from the Zhenfu Division. It is impossible to use civil and military bureaucrats to play checks and balances."

Ouyang Yu gasped hard, feeling ridiculous: "Emperor Wu was worried that the new emperor couldn't deal with you, so he took this opportunity to attack you?"

"That's right."

"absurd."

"Of course it's ridiculous, otherwise how could there be an old saying, a king's heart is unpredictable, and accompanying him is like accompanying a tiger."

"..."

Ouyang Yu rubbed his head, digesting this huge amount of information.

After a while, she asked: "What are you going to do with those barbarians?"

Zuo Chongming thought for a moment and said, "Tonight I will pretend to be Ji Changyun and go there as the leader of Liansheng Cult. You go and prepare."

"Fine."

When Ouyang Yu heard this, he ran out as if he had been pardoned.

Officialdom is too scary, it's better to just hang out in the world.

Even though she has made great progress now, she is still far from being a pervert like Zuo Chongming who can deduce a whole chain of events based on just one piece of information.

Just listening there made her head hurt.

——

——

It was evening, and the sky was filled with red clouds.

Zuo Chongming changed his attire, wore a bamboo hat in a low-key manner, and walked side by side with Ouyang Yu on the street.

"correct."

Ouyang Yu glanced at the shops on the street while transmitting: "I forgot to ask something before. How did you know that Emperor Wu was about to die?"

Zuo Chongming replied: "Rather than death, it is better to say that the sacrifice failed."

"Eh? Sacrifice?"

Ouyang Yu subconsciously thought of the southern wilderness, where the tribes still maintained the activity of offering sacrifices to the gods.

Zuo Chongming smiled and said: "You also know the art of divination. You should know that destiny can be known, that power rises and falls, and that luck is impermanent."

"The Taizu of the Wu Dynasty launched an army to rebel. The reason why he was able to make comebacks from desperate situations was not only due to his personal abilities, but also because he had a magical weapon."

Ouyang Yu was confused: "Sacred weapon? Divine weapon?"

"It's not the same thing."

Zuo Chongming rolled his eyes: "The so-called divine weapon, as the name suggests, is a divine weapon. If you get it, you can become a god."

"Is there a god in this world?"

"Had."

"Hmm...huh? Are you kidding me?"

"There are not only gods, but also Buddhas and immortals...but now they are gone."

"died?"

"You can understand it that way."

"Can the immortal Buddha also die?"

"Everything is subject to birth and death, and no one can escape it. It is nothing more than the length of life."

The corner of Ouyang Yu's mouth twitched, and he said with empty eyes: "It sounds like it's true, let's just say sacrifice."

Zuo Chongming said: "The Taizu of the Wu Dynasty was very ambitious. He wanted the Wu Dynasty to last forever, so he made an ancestral precept before he died."

"All the emperors of the Wu Dynasty must light the soul fire and sacrifice the artifact while their fate is still alive, in order to continue the national destiny of the Wu Dynasty."

Ouyang Yu was greatly shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help complaining: "This is too... Anyone who knows a little bit about divination wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense, right?"

Zuo Chongming smiled: "If you read more history books, you will know that these words are not false."

Ouyang Yu pouted and hummed: "Just think what you said is true, so Emperor Wu plans to sacrifice himself?"

Zuo Zhongming replied calmly: "He is not that high-minded, he is just self-defeating."

"He used the move of establishing a reserve government to bring trouble to the bureaucracy and eradicate the cancer once and for all. Unfortunately, it is easy to light a fire but difficult to extinguish it."

"When the situation becomes increasingly chaotic and even uncontrollable, he will use magical weapons to break the situation."

"But he doesn't know that there is something wrong with the artifact now, and the sacrifice is doomed to fail."

In the previous life, the Wu Dynasty collapsed so quickly because something went wrong with the divine weapon. Emperor Wu wanted to sacrifice himself to turn the tide, but he never thought of losing his life.

The Wu Dynasty was already in chaos, but Emperor Wu suddenly hiccupped, which led to the chaos getting worse and worse, and ultimately unable to end.

"hiss……"

Ouyang Yu's eyes widened and he asked in a sleepy voice: "How come you even know this?"

Zuo Chongming smiled: "I also know that you have a mole under your left breast."

"you……"

"arrive."

Looking at the back of Shi Shiran, Ouyang Yu stamped her feet angrily, wanting to bite him to death.
