Chapter 116 Let the people suffer again, and I will bear the blame (Please subscribe)

It turns out that this was Marquis Jingping's idea.

As long as he uses the Chu family's Dragon and Tiger Order, he can survive this crisis without offending the Imperial Observatory.

For the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion, it is a win-win situation no matter which way.

Chu Wujiang did not agree directly. He now had the good fortune of "focusing on one thing and doing many things". His brain was thinking much faster than before, and he immediately realized Marquis Jingping's thoughts.

So he tentatively proposed a new plan.

[My Lord, I am not afraid of offending the Imperial Observatory.]

[Why don't I report this to the court, make a big fuss about it, and ruin the Sitianjian's plan! ]

[With the ability of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, they will definitely understand that the imperial court knows about the evil god's plan and give up the conspiracy. ]

[In this way, Longzhou will be safe and sound. ]

I have offended even Yuanshen Zhenren, so I am not afraid of offending Sitianjian again.

The Imperial Observatory is an organization of the imperial court and is subject to rules. It is impossible for them to act arbitrarily. Given the Chu family's status, as long as they do not go to Tianjing, they have no fear of offending the other party.

After all, more than 50% of Chu Wujiang's current favorable situation depends on this token.

Just as a nuclear weapon is most powerful when it is on the launch pad, not when it is fired.

Out of his own interests, Chu Wujiang does not intend to use the Dragon and Tiger Order, and will keep it for at least ten years!

So Chu Wujiang decided to make a big deal out of it.

However, the always wise Marquis Jingping secretly thought that it was bad. His intention was too obvious and was noticed by Lord Longcheng. He could only spread his hands, looking helpless, and added:

[If I can do this, why should I be so careful? ]

[To be honest, the plan of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory has been approved by the Duke of Zhenguo.]

[His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not object, and Prime Minister Fang also remained silent.]

Marquis Jingping didn't want to reveal too many secrets, so he could still speak in general terms just now. But when he saw that Chu Wujiang was unwilling to use the Dragon and Tiger Order, he had to reveal further information and further emphasize the seriousness of the situation.

[So Lord Longcheng, we can only cooperate! ]

[After all, the Duke of Zhenguo said that he would put the overall situation first. If the people suffer a little more, he will bear the blame.]

Duke Zhenguo, this title sounds a little familiar.

No, for the Chu family, he is a well-known person and a real big shot.

The six great masters of the past killed the remains of Emperor Wu. The ancestor of the Chu family snatched a finger and was conferred the title of Viscount. The other six were naturally dukes.

The leader of these six people was the Duke of Zhenguo. Later, the lineage of the Duke of Zhenguo was specifically responsible for suppressing evil spirits in various places and preventing Emperor Wu from resurrecting.

So the tomb keepers and the Imperial Observatory are nominally His Majesty's direct troops, but in fact the real leaders are the lineage of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Of course, the Duke of Zhenguo of this generation is not the one from 590 years ago, but he is also a Yuanshen Zhenren.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but take a breath:
[The Duke of Zhenguo made the decision and deployed it personally? 】

[My Lord, are you sure it is the Duke who discovered the new spiritual rice? ]

In the past, spiritual rice could only be grown in a few spiritual fields, and even the direct descendants of nobles might not be able to eat it.

Later, the Duke of Zhenguo discovered the new spiritual rice. Although this new spiritual rice had a low yield, it could grow on ordinary fertile fields, greatly increasing the yield of spiritual rice.

Now even the servants and thugs of noble families were eligible to receive rewards and use the magical rice to improve their physical fitness. This made the name of the Duke of Zhenguo weigh like a mountain on everyone's mind.

Jingping Hou said in a deep voice:

[If it weren't for the Duke, why would I be so nervous and careful? 】

[The Astronomical Bureau is determined to lure the snake out of its hole, we can only avoid its harm! ]

He is just a local tyrant, and he is also suppressed by the King of East China Sea in Longzhou.

If you haven’t been to Tianjing, you won’t know how low your position is.

Marquis is already a big title, but in a place like Tianjing, where dukes, princes, and princelings are everywhere, it is nothing.

Even among these bigwigs, the Duke of Zhenguo is the best because he is a powerful person in the Yuanshen realm.

In order to get Chu Wujiang to agree to use the Dragon Tiger Order as soon as possible, Jingping Hou also added: [Don't worry, Lord Longcheng, the Lu family will definitely compensate for the loss of the Dragon Tiger Order. ]

[The Lu family is willing to truly establish a good relationship with the Chu family! ]

In other words, Marquis Jingping planned to marry Lu family's most outstanding daughter, Lu Youlan, to Chu Wujiang.

No wonder the young marquis looks so pale.

He probably opposed his father and got beaten up.

Chu Wujiang was still not tempted. Instead, he realized that something was wrong and asked:
[My Lord, this is not right.]

[If there is a great master like the Duke of Zhenguo paying attention, why should we worry? 】

[Also, just now the Marquis deliberately misled Chu, saying that all this was decided by the Si Tian Jian without authorization.]

[Now it has become the intention of the court. ]

[My Lord, what you said is a little untrue! ]

Chu Wujiang believed that Marquis Jingping did not intend to make him his enemy. He just used some speaking skills to let Lu Ce disguise himself with him on the one hand, and kept throwing bombs on the other hand.

As long as Chu Wujiang's thinking ability is insufficient, he will soon be persuaded by Marquis Jingping to use the Dragon and Tiger Order.

Unfortunately, Marquis Jingping's arrival was at such an inopportune moment.

Chu Wujiang has just upgraded his brain, which is enough to focus on many things at once. Even if you send ten people to divert his attention, Chu Wujiang can still think clearly and understand everything.

Marquis Jingping took a deep breath and told the truth:

[I didn't mean to conceal anything just now, it's just that some truths are better left unknown. ]

[Lord Longcheng has no experience fighting evil spirits. They are very cunning and cannot be detected by the Taoist divine calculations or the Buddhist divine eyes and ears.]

[If there is no hope of success, I will not take action, I will just endure it. ]

The enemy is cunning and knows how to fight guerrilla warfare in the world of martial arts. The evil demons who know how to hide themselves are even more difficult to deal with.

[So a large number of Longzhou people will become bait when necessary! ]

[Only in this way can we truly fish out the evil god. ]

Shocking!

Marquis Jingping leaked the biggest risk point of this plan.

Let the people suffer and I will bear the blame.

That’s what it meant.

Now Chu Wujiang finally understood the true meaning of this sentence, as well as the reason why Marquis Jingping was unwilling to talk about it just now.

It involves the dark side of the court.

It is a legitimate thing for the Sitianjian to kill the evil god, but it also requires sacrifice for the greater good.

The evil god will only come down to earth if he has hundreds of thousands of people as sacrifices.

In order to catch the fish, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory didn't care about the lives of the people.

【Chu understands.】

[Under such a catastrophe, the evil god may become unprecedentedly powerful, so the Marquis intends to use the power of the Dragon and Tiger Order. ]

The last time Xia Yu transformed into the King of Ghosts, more than 30,000 people died in the slums. This time, I don’t know if it will be more than 300,000 or even a million.

Marquis Jingping was deeply worried because the superiors had their overall situation and the people below had their own countermeasures.

[That's right, I think all important people should be evacuated! ]

【Where there is life, there is hope.】

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath.

[Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will contact the Taoist sect. 】

【But I have a few conditions. 】
