Chapter 1339 Lingwu Affairs
Originally, Cao Zhan worked in the Yangwu Army, helping Meng Zhao train and command troops, and at the same time guarding the work of some aristocratic families in the city, which was also considered to be a heavy responsibility and was relatively busy.
However, compared to Meng Zhao's base camp Lingwu City, the Shenwei Army is located in Liangzhou, and the situation is more complicated and prone to trouble. It is nothing about Meng Zhao's current leadership, but if he leaves, it may cause some variables.
Therefore, Meng Zhao specially recruited Cao Zhan to serve as his eyes and ears to monitor the affairs of the Shenwei army.
Meng Zhao's subordinates have many people, but Cao Zhan, as the body of the stars, is the old man he trusts the most. He would probably not disappoint him by entrusting this burden to him.
In addition to Cao Zhan, there are also the second and third ones among the six monsters in Minshan, and three innate masters who have followed him very early and are the guests of the Meng family. There are six innate ones, which are also a very powerful force.
Although it is not enough to completely suppress the Shenwei Army, there is even a big gap compared to the senior leaders of the Shenwei Army.
But as a backup plan for Meng Zhao, surrounding Hong Tianzheng and Ji Rulin is enough to eliminate some hidden dangers.
Even if the Shenwei Army had any evil actions, Cao Zhan's ability and this power would have turned defeat into victory, so Meng Zhao was quite happy with these visitors.
After greeting each of them, they comforted and rewarded everyone with certain resources for their cultivation. Meng Zhao just took everyone away, leaving Cao Zhan alone in the big tent.
"A Zhan, you haven't seen each other for a while, and your body is becoming more and more powerful. Judging from your breath, you are quite magical. Has your cultivation reached the realm of practicing Qi to become a stimulus?"
Meng Zhao put the Miao sword transformed by the evil robbery in his hand on the desk table and looked at Cao Zhan with a smile.
Cao Zhan was majestic, with bright eyes, and a square face with a simple aura. Hearing this, he replied with his fists,
"The young master's eyes are not bad. Just the day before he came to Liangzhou, Mrs. Liang gave her a fierce ape inner pill. As a result, the true energy increased greatly and the qi was cultivated. However, there was still a bit obscure. It took more time to practice and polish it for a few days before the cultivation level was completely stabilized."
Meng Zhao nodded and asked about the situation in Lingwu City. He Xin actually told him just now, but after all, he was an outsider and could not trust him. Liang Muqiu might not say anything to him. On the contrary, Cao Zhan was his confidant. He knew many secret matters, and naturally he knew more.
Cao Zhan's expression also became serious, revealing several key things that happened after Meng Zhao left.
First, there were many corpses of unknown origin in their Mengjia Village. After Meng Zhao left, they appeared four times. After investigation, these four people were not from the village, but from spies from the outside world.
But strangely, the masters in Zhuangzi did not notice this. In other words, the death of these outsiders who came to spy on intelligence personnel had nothing to do with Meng Zhao's subordinates, and there were other people who started the attack.
When Cao Zhan talked about this, he was also very curious. Some of their masters chatted in private, thinking that Meng Zhao might have hidden a lot of power in the secret, so that he could clean up all the unpredictable people.
Meng Zhao also felt strange. In fact, Liang Muqiu knew all his forces and backgrounds. Since Liang Muqiu didn't know who took the action, there might be a force that was secretly helping him.
This is actually a good thing. After all, the person who took action was to help Meng Zhao's side, and it is likely that he is a friend but not an enemy.
Even so, Liang Muqiu still organized his masters to explore the village, but he never gained anything. He guessed that this person who took action might either have his martial arts skills that were so high that they could not find any trace, or he had already retired and left Mengjiazhuang.
Although Liang Muqiu and others tended to the latter type, which was the speculation that this person had left, due to the fact that an exceptional spy was killed later, it can be imagined that this person's martial arts should be so high that these masters could not find his traces.
For Meng Zhao, this is good news.
But then Cao Zhan talked about another bad news.
That is, although the city has become much more stable due to the existence of the Yangwu Army, many people believe in Puduism in private and have a fanatical worship and respect for the Great Pudu Buddha.
In addition, two incidents of residents in the city burning themselves together in an attempt to reach the Pudhisattva world as mentioned by the Pudhis.
The so-called Pure Land, as mentioned in the Pure Land Buddhism, is a mysterious place where there is no harm, no disaster, no disaster, and eternal enjoyment of Pure Land.
These two tragedies caused considerable turmoil in the city. The Yanping County Prince's Mansion and the Yangwu Army launched an internal investigation of hidden dangers. Many of the costs of worshipping the Pudu Cult, such as Buddhist beads and statues, were destroyed. All those who believe in the Pudu Cult will focus on the detention.
There are also two small families who were found to have an involuntary relationship with the Pudu Cult. Although they did not cause any major fluctuations or influences, they still splashed in the end, making the atmosphere in Lingwu City not very good now.
Because these two small families have lived in Lingwu City for generations and have intersected with many major forces, whether they are in marriage or cooperation, they have a considerable network of relationships.
Now that they have been destroyed, although the hidden dangers have been eliminated, who can know that among the remaining forces, there are no believers or partners in the Pudu Church?
Liang Muqiu asked Cao Zhan to tell Meng Zhao about this, but in fact he was urging him to return to Lingwu City as soon as possible, take charge of it, and stabilize the overall situation.
Strong fortresses are often broken from the inside. Lingwu City now has tens of thousands of troops guarding the city, and hard bridges and hard horses. The Yangwu Army is not afraid of chaos in the inside when siege.
Meng Zhao is known as a genius, which is the morale of Yangwu Army. If he is not here, it will definitely not be easy if he is not as dangerous as a city.
Furthermore, Liang Muqiu also knew where Longcheng was located. He had guessed that his man’s origin was mysterious and his plan was inappropriate.
Even if Meng Zhao takes the lead and usurp the Shenwei Army into his hands, if Longcheng colludes with the Pudu Cult, it will be very harmful. Meng Zhao must take action himself to solve it.
As for the third thing, people from the Meng family in Nan'an County sent a batch of powerful military supplies, which are now hidden in Mengjiazhuang.
The reason why he was secretly but did not reveal it was actually that Liang Muqiu was determined to hide his skills. If someone came to Lingwu City to find trouble, these secret weapons developed by the imperial military department alone would be able to make people drink a lot of money.
These things are relatively big things, and Liang Muqiu reminds you to tell Meng Zhao about it.
There are more things to do. Some masters come to join us, or some generals in the army are hostile to each other, or the prince of Yanping, and has another beautiful concubine. There is really no need to say anything.
