Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1290

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the cold wind is biting!

Despite being dressed in only a single layer of clothing, Xu Da Guanren sat outside with Wang Qinian, braving the cold, enjoying hot pot and a few drinks.

Every now and then, he would make a few jokes about Zhang Liansong.

"Dog Egg hasn't come back yet at this hour."

"It seems we really have to fight to the death!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian replied with a smile, "Sir, you've really gone to great lengths for the future of all the brothers."

"When Dog Egg comes back tomorrow morning, he'll probably call Lord Feng his 'adoptive father'."

"Haha."

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Just as they were joking around, a member of the Imperial Guard rushed over.

"grown ups……"

"This is a list of officials in the capital that the eight prominent families of Jinzhou bribed."

"Currently, it has been fully verified and the evidence is conclusive."

Xu Shan took the list and glanced at it briefly, saying, "Yes, they have their moves in all six departments."

"Hmm? They're also in the patrol battalion and the city defense battalion."

"Send it back to the capital by express courier, at a speed of 800 li."

"Notify Deng Ziyue: arrest those who should be arrested, and kill those who should be executed!"

"Yes."

"In addition, there is something else that I find very strange."

"Oh?" After he finished speaking, Xu Shan put down his wine glass and took the documents handed to him.

During this time, the Imperial Guard also briefly relayed: "The Tartars and several feudal lords within Qin Pass secretly asked the Eight Great Families to help them collect these materials."

"Your subordinate has assisted you in setting up several formations. I recognize these materials; they were all used for setting up formations."

"Therefore, I kept an eye on it and asked the grand array masters in the camp to take a look."

"After repeated deductions and verifications, they said that these materials, if combined with some special methods and blood essence, could be used to set up a [Soul-Guiding Array]."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan, who was staring intently at the list, couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.

This Soul-Guiding Array is an extremely ancient and vicious array.

The souls of direct descendants of the same bloodline are separated, allowing another person to 'usurp' their place'.

Its essence is similar to 'body snatching'.

At this moment, Wang Qinian, who had just moved closer to his master, looked at the names of the various lords and immediately reminded him, "My lord, these lords, like the Li family of Longxi, have recently taken the initiative to curry favor with the court."

"Furthermore, I will participate in the [Tianqi Ancestor Worship Ceremony] to be held at the Imperial Mausoleum in about half a month."

"More importantly... all of these feudal lords had ancestors who 'ascended to heaven'."

"Ok?"

After Wang Qinian finished speaking, Xu Shan, who was holding the list, immediately replied, "You mean, they are using the [Soul-Guiding Array] to revert to their ancestral form?"

"Using this method to summon celestial beings to descend to earth?"

"If that's the case, their strength will be greatly hampered. It might even cause an irreversible drop in their cultivation level."

"What's the point? To send someone to their death from afar?"

When Xu Shan voiced his question, Wang Qinian replied, "We'll have to look into that."

"If it is truly for the purpose of 'atavism,' such a large scale... then their ambitions are far greater."

Hearing this, Xu Shan nodded heavily.

"Heavenly blood!"

"Black Moon Fish!"

As Xu Shan called out softly, two dark figures appeared in front of them, one after the other.

"grown ups."

"You two, take the elites of the Dark Moon Pavilion and the Ghost Pavilion and go deep into the territories of these lords to thoroughly investigate and dig deep into this matter."

"After receiving the information, summarize it and send it to me immediately."

"In particular, regarding the descent of Heavenly Mandate, the [Soul-Guiding Array], and the unusual behavior of the various feudal lords..."

"I want everything, no matter how small!"

"Yes."

After Tianxue and Xuanyueyu had both left, Wang Qinian approached his master and said, "My lord, should we remind His Majesty about this?"

"Or rather, to advise His Majesty not to allow these feudal lords to come to the capital to offer their advice."

Hearing this, Xu Shan sneered, "The Ming Dynasty, which was originally divided among warlords, has finally ushered in a time when the people's hearts are with it..."

"Your Majesty, if we dare not allow them to come to the capital to offer their advice, not to mention the ministers in the court, who knows what kind of rumors will spread among the common people."

After saying all this, Xu Shan belatedly realized something.

He then murmured, "This is an open conspiracy!"

Even if we find something out, we can't stop these people from going to Beijing.

"In that case..."

"Then let's make the capital a little cleaner before they enter it."

Sensing his master's killing intent, Wang Qinian clasped his hands and said, "Your subordinate knows how to make the arrangements."

……

'Boom.'

After winter sets in, there are few thunderstorms in the capital.

But tonight, Nanjing is unusually eerie.

Not only were dark clouds looming over the city, but the atmosphere inside and outside the Northern Garrison was also filled with a chilling and murderous aura.

'Snapped. '

A flash of lightning illuminated the dark sky.

In that instant, the hundreds of uniformly dressed Imperial Guards inside the Northern Garrison were laid bare before them.

Each of them, holding a brocade spring knife, had a murderous look on their faces.

All eyes were fixed on the people at the front.

Standing directly in front of this group of Imperial Guards was none other than Deng Ziyue, who had just been promoted to commander of a thousand.

"Recently, things have been quite unsettled in the capital!"

"The malicious slander against our master is coming one after another."

"Even behind this, there are powerful clans and aristocratic families who are pushing things along."

"Previously, the adults told us to observe the situation and investigate secretly."

At this point, Deng Ziyue took a list from the Jinyiwei guard next to him.

He then added, "Now, the investigation is almost complete."

“There are always people who want to stir up trouble while our Master Xu is away from the capital.”

"Attempting to turn the tide."

"Furthermore, for a long time, in accordance with the 'hide your strength and bide your time' policy set by Lord Xu before he left, our Embroidered Spring Blade has rarely been used again."

"To the point that they felt they were capable again!"

"They took our tolerance as a bargaining chip for them to take advantage of us."

"Can we tolerate this?"

'boom.'

As soon as Deng Ziyue finished speaking, hundreds of Imperial Guards on the scene suddenly straightened up and shouted in unison, "Those who offend our Imperial Guards, no matter how far away they are, will be punished."

"Those who slander Lord Xu will not be spared!"

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Deng Ziyue ordered his men to distribute the list to them one by one.

"In units of 100 households..."

"A total of eight groups."

"Tonight, when the city gates are tightly shut, that will be the time for us to act."

"At that time, the patrol battalion and the city defense battalion will cooperate with our operation tonight."

"In a word..."

"Either don't make a move, or if you do, show the might of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Show off the Flying Fish 'Xu' banner!"

"Regardless of his background or identity..."

"You lot, just keep arresting people."

"If anything goes wrong, the Xu State Duke will take full responsibility for us."
