Chapter 639 Speculation
"Commander Lu, Commander Lu, wait. Please wait, the military headquarters does not allow intruders"
“Where is Zhan Xian’an?! I want to see that bastard!”
"Hey, don't make things difficult for me. Commander Zhan suddenly set out. There must be a reason. Please wait a moment."
“You’re talking like a eunuch, get out of here! Zhan Xian’an, a dozen of my brothers died in mysterious circumstances, get out of here and give me an explanation!”
ˆ “.”
When Si Zijing followed Huang Shiwei to the military headquarters, a burst of noise came from the half-open courtyard door.
Through the gap, you can see that more than a dozen people in military uniforms have gathered in the courtyard.
He can basically recognize the people inside. Except for the few civil servants blocking the entrance, the rest of the people in military uniforms are all senior generals in Zhenxi Mansion.
The Commander Lu who dared to scold Zhan Xian'an was Lu Baizou, the commander of the Xuanting Army in the Second Town of Zhenxi Prefecture.
Five troops have one battalion, and two battalions form an army, while a town is composed of two to five armies depending on the force it belongs to. The establishment of the second town of Zhenxifu is not large or small, and is composed of three armies, among which Xuan is the most powerful. The court army is elite and almost full.
With this information flashing through his mind, Si Zijing frowned and looked at Huang Shiwei to ask about the situation in the hospital.
"This is what the young master meant. The princess doesn't know who in the Zhenxi Mansion is loyal to her and who has defected to the sect. She can only take this opportunity to make a rough judgment by looking at the reactions of the following generals."
Huang Shiwei explained in a low voice, and then sighed in a low voice: "The situation here is worse than you think. Not only has Zhenxi Mansion been infiltrated into a sieve by the sect, but even the Black Scale Guards are in Xizezhou All the directors have been incited to rebel.”
Hearing this, Si Zijing’s eyes twitched unconsciously:
“Mu Qing?”
“Well, the young master will confirm it himself.”
“Hey, I was still thinking about going to see the young master and reminiscing with him.”
“It doesn’t matter, the young master has no intention of getting rid of him for the time being.”
“.” Si Zijing rolled his eyes.
It is really not necessary to contaminate the cause and effect of a dying person.
However, based on the information Huang Shiwei told him, he felt that they could start preparing to run away now.
Since the sect has made a big bet here, it can evacuate immediately. Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has passed the difficult period of having to rely on small power to survive, there is no need to continue to take risks here.
But unfortunately, since the Third Young Master is here, the decision-making power on this matter is not his.
With a slight sigh in his heart, Si Zijing whispered:
"If we go in directly now, it might affect the master's plan. Why don't we wait outside for a while first?"
Huang Shiwei glanced at Si Zijing and said:
“Who told you that there is only the main entrance to the military headquarters?”
ˆ “.”
ˆ “.”
The Junshu Hall is a courtyard with three entrances. The interior decoration is not like a military camp, but more like a bookstore for an elegant scholar.
Water pavilions and pavilions are elegantly located.
Entering through the back door, Si Zijing soon followed Huang Shiwei to the foot of a three-story building with cornices and angled corners.
The door of the room was ajar and not closed. The people inside seemed to be aware of the arrival of the two men.
Looking at the ajar wooden door, Si Zijing frowned unconsciously.
The scent of incense inside was very strong. Before entering the room, a scent of jasmine-like incense penetrated his nose. However, under the scent, he also smelled a vague smell of blood.
There should be dead people inside.
As the young master's response came out, as soon as he entered, Si Zijing confirmed his own speculation.
A screen embroidered with beautiful pictures of mountains and rivers divided the hall into two, and a pile of corpses lay quietly next to the foot of the screen.
It was like being crushed to death from top to bottom by some huge force. The flesh, blood and bone stubble were mixed together and it was impossible to identify the person. However, considering what Huang Shiwei told him on the road, the identity of this stall of meat is already obvious.
The Third Young Master actually killed Zhan Xian'an, the military and political leader of Zhenxi Fucheng, without saying a word.
Before coming here, Si Zijing actually had the intention to persuade the Third Young Master to leave, but as soon as the corpse came out, it showed that the Third Young Master was already preparing to go all the way to darkness.
Si Zijing suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and together with Huang Shiwei beside him, they bowed their heads to the people inside through the screen:
“Third Young Master.”
Behind the screen, a smiling voice quietly came out:
"There is no need to be polite. Talking through the screen is Zhan Xian'an's favorite tone. He is dead now, so you can just come in."
Hearing this, Huang Shiwei and Si Zijing also walked around the screen and saw what was going on inside.
There are two people in the hall. There are two people in total.
They are all located behind the planning table, one man and one woman, standing and one sitting, showing clear priorities.
With a cursory glance, Si Zijing recognized the identities of the two of them.
The woman should be the princess of Zhenxi Mansion, and the man with the strange face should be the third young master in disguise.
After pondering for a moment, Si Zijing heard the man standing behind the heroic woman say slowly before he could speak:
"Mr. Huang, could you please follow Jun Wu to the front yard and send the generals to prepare for the war. Jun Wu will arrange the specific matters. You only need to show your cultivation according to the situation."
Huang Shiwei didn’t ask for details when he heard this, and just gave him a hand:
"yes."
Xu Yuanze gently patted Li Junwu’s shoulder and whispered:
"I have analyzed everything for you. You can use your own judgment to identify who among the generals is loyal to your family. Go without further delay."
Hearing this, Li Junwu curled his lips imperceptibly and did not respond. He stood up and led Huang Shiwei out of the small building.
Watching the two people leave, Si Zijing's cold voice sounded in the silent hall:
“Third Young Master, are you planning to secretly support the princess to take over the Zhenxihou Mansion?”
Looking back after hearing this, Xu Yuan looked at Si Zijing for a moment, and said with a chuckle:
"I have never covered up the matter of helping her to rise to power. Why did Mr. Si secretly support her?"
Si Zijing lowered his head, knowing that the young master had made up his mind, he sighed in his heart:
“.Si Mou didn’t think carefully.”
Xu Yuan sat down on Li Junwu’s seat and asked with a smile:
“Mr. Si, you said you don’t need to be too polite. You should have seen the situation in the front yard when you came. Do you think Lu Baizou can be trusted?”
Si Zijing’s eyes flickered for a moment, but he did not answer directly:
"Although the old man Zhenxihou made his fortune in the military, he has been able to reach this point, and his methods should not be weak."
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head, squinting his eyes:
"What you said is the same as what you didn't say."
Si Zijing showed a hint of embarrassment, but these few words allowed him to outline the Third Young Master's temperament in his mind, and he then opened his mouth to analyze:
"Although Lu Baizou seems to have a gap with Zhan Xian'an, if he is really a direct lineage installed by Zhenxihou, he should not show it like this, at least he will not be so obvious."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan’s eyes showed a hint of interest:
"That makes sense. Such an obvious defensive attitude will inevitably chill the hearts of the people under my command. Do you mean to say that those generals who defend Zhan Xian'an are the ones who are loyal to the Marquis of Zhenxi?"
Si Zijing lowered his eyes and cupped his hands:
"The information is unknown, so I dare not make any hasty conclusions. I hope you will forgive me."
Xu Yuan took the case from the table and looked at the other party's attitude of not wanting to be implicated in the cause and effect. He did not force it and instead said:
"Forget it, I won't do anything difficult for you. I just want to ask you something."
Si Zijing raised his eyes, took a look at Xu Yuan’s expression, and whispered:
“Young master, please ask me. I will tell you everything I know.”
Xu Yuan was silent for a long time before asking slowly:
“I heard that you divided your forces into two groups to pursue Qin Weishu. The other group seemed to have encountered the Master of the Jiantian Pavilion. That guy Xu Changge should still be alive, right?”
