Chapter 71 Arriving in Kyoto, the court changes the king's flag
Kyoto, Lv Xingshi arrived very quickly, and during the period, he also reported his safety to his master Murong Xuan through the channel of Tingfeng Pavilion, and then there was no follow-up.
During the period, he also heard the big movement in the martial arts world. The three sects of Sui Han were wiped out by a mysterious person, and the Wuling Sect reappeared in the Five Veins of the World.
These two are considered extreme big news.
The Wuling Sect is relatively unfamiliar in the martial arts world. After all, the Five Veins have been divided for so many years, and the people in the martial arts world have changed quickly, so naturally no one knows about it. With the unification of the Five Veins of the World into the Wuling Sect, the past of this sect has been gradually dug out.
The second is the matter of the annihilation of the three sects of Sui Han. Lv Xingshi suspected that it was the court, and the Wuling Sect probably knew about it, but they had no intention of revealing it.
Once they did so, it would be equivalent to offending the court, and the anger was simply not something they could bear.
Even if it was revealed, what would happen? At that time, the Wuling Sect would become the first bird to come out.
Moreover, without the three sects of Sui Han, wouldn’t it be better for the three sects to share Dasong?
As for the matter of the old site of the Five Spirit Sect, it was also covered up. This is not good news, but a scandal.
The Five Sects were almost destroyed, but they were saved by an outsider, Lu Xingshi, and this outsider also inherited their heritage. Wouldn't this make the world laugh at them? Will their reputation still exist?
Therefore, it is also part of the scandal and naturally cannot be leaked.
Of course, the Five Spirit Sect also bought hot searches through Tingfeng Pavilion, otherwise how could the reappearance of the Five Spirit Sect in the Five Sects of the World spread so quickly throughout the world.
Under normal circumstances, the time required for the merger of the Five Sects, the confirmation and dissemination of the news, etc. is also very long.
However, Lu Xingshi heard the news as soon as he arrived in Kyoto, which was faster than his speed. He didn't believe that he didn't buy hot searches to add fuel to the flames.
This is also a process of improving reputation. In addition to the corresponding power, a sect also needs enough reputation. Most people in the world are after fame and fortune.
Of course, the court is also chasing fame and fortune.
"Kyoto is prosperous." Lu Xingshi took a look. Although it is not as prosperous as the modern cities in his previous life, in Dasong, only Jiangnan can be compared with it.
No wonder Dasong cares so much about Jiangnan. It is not only rich in grain, but also a major taxpayer... The premise is that the tax can be collected.
After the failure of the King of Wu to purge the court, the wealthy families and scholar groups in Jiangnan expanded rapidly. Originally, they could still collect taxes by arguing and making connections.
But now, because the civil official group has completely controlled the military power and force, their relatives in Jiangnan do not have to pay taxes directly, and can even vaguely ignore the court.
The separatist regime is not so serious, but no one dares to touch Jiangnan.
So many bad debts are pretended not to see.
People come and go on the street, and Lu Xingshi goes directly to the intelligence point of Tingfeng Pavilion.
As a guest of Tingfeng Pavilion, he can enjoy the highest level of intelligence services, but he cannot be exempted from the intelligence fee. This made Lu Xingshi complain for a long time. Everyone is a partner, but he has to make money from this little money.
The contact was very successful. The Tingfeng Pavilion branch here was directly in an open place, with many people coming and going, and even the secret code was not needed.
This made Lu Xingshi suspect that the Tingfeng Pavilion branch had actually been incorporated by the court.
The Tingfeng Pavilion headquarters just turned a blind eye to this. As long as the monthly membership was paid in full, they would not care about the situation of this branch.
Otherwise, how could the court tolerate a sect like you setting up an organization to collect and sell intelligence in Kyoto? It has been spread a long time ago.
After some inquiries, Cai Qiuhe has not been to court for more than a month. It is said that he has been at home claiming to be sick.
But in fact, he has not returned since he went out.
Looking at this information, Lu Xingshi suspected that Cai Qiuhe might have died on the road.
The injuries he caused to the other party are far beyond the medical means of this world.
Unless Cai Qiuhe finds some performance that is far beyond the low martial arts.
However, more than a month after Cai Qiuhe disappeared, Huangjue Palace began to become active, as if it had lost its suppression.
Another thing is that many officials in the court were demoted. Most of these officials were people of the prime minister Cai Qiuhe and disciples of the Wen Dao Hall.
In short, a sneak attack was launched.
Huangjue Palace wanted to take back the initiative, while the emperor wanted to take back his power.
In addition to these changes on the surface, a series of reforms to military power were also underway, such as the purge of the royal guards and the removal of the establishment of the Divine Fire Guards.
According to Lu Xingshi's observation, the progress was very good. With the help of Huangjue Palace, the Wen Dao Hall suffered heavy losses, and most of the power in the court returned to the hands of the emperor.
However, this move also caused great damage to the vitality of the entire Dasong, which was equivalent to a large bloodletting, and it was inevitable that the entire court would fall into weakness.
Of course, it was not only the court that was weak, but also the entire Dasong. Don't forget to give the Liao Kingdom a million years of gifts.
Not long ago, the million years of gifts were collected and escorted to the Tianzhi Mountains. Lu Xingshi calculated the time and it should have been delivered.
After buying the intelligence, Lu Xingshi left the Tingfeng Pavilion branch directly.
When he walked out, he noticed someone following him. The other party's tracking skills, combined with his body movements and light skills, were indeed unique, and also had the style of the royal guards.
This made Lu Xingshi more certain that the Kyoto branch was indeed occupied by the court.
He was naturally violating the emperor's taboo to inquire about Cai Qiuhe's information, so he must be investigated.
The main reason was that he had been targeting Cai Qiuhe and Wen Daoguan recently. Inquiring about related matters at this juncture was indeed too conspicuous.
As for recognizing him as the Golden Crow God General Lü Xingshi?
He did not wear the Golden Crow hand cannon that he used as a symbol of his appearance. Lü Xingshi did not intend to go against Dasong. There was no conflict of interest between the two sides, so why bother to make trouble? The ones who had a grudge against him were Cai Qiuhe and Wen Daoguan.
Therefore, it was a bit difficult to recognize him. Who would have thought that he would come to Kyoto.
So in the absence of conflict, the other party could follow him if they wanted to. As long as they did not affect him or deliberately target him, Lü Xingshi did not care.
It was their territory, and it was also very simple for them to monitor the unstable factors. He was not a native of his motherland or ancestors. It was impossible for him to kill the other party when he did not commit any malicious acts. Wouldn't that make him a murderer?
Just like his Langya Pavilion would also set up surveillance, and would track down and question suspicious people, but I didn't see these people just ask a few questions or kill the surveillance personnel.
If his identity was exposed, the court would only recruit him instead of so-called killing him. His strength is obvious to all, and he has stood on the side of the court time and time again. If the court was really so stupid, it would have died a long time ago, and how could it survive until now?
