Chapter 655: Yuanzhao

Chang'an Beach, dusk, Anyue City Government Office.

Fu Qingzhou stretched lazily, walked out of the tea room, took the secret report handed over by the Ming Jianke secret envoy and glanced at it.

"They are all on their way. It's pretty fast."

He smiled and said, "How are things going?"

"Don't worry, sir." The secret envoy clasped his fists and bowed. "Although the monks of Ernan are acting more secretly this time, their style of doing things has not changed. It is not difficult to find them."

"good."

Fu Qingzhou handed the secret report back: "But don't be careless. There is a 'master' behind them. Huijue is also unknown where he is hiding. When doing anything, be more careful. At least make sure that the message can be delivered at any time."

The secret envoy looked serious, replied "yes", and left quickly.

Fu Qingzhou turned around and glanced at the tea room.

The door was closed, but the figures of Baihe Zhenren and Ning Wushu were still reflected on the window through the candlelight.

The three of them had been chatting in the house for half a day.

Before this, Fu Qingzhou went to Zixiao Peak, and after completing the bet with Baihe Zhenren, he rushed back, and the round trip took about ten days.

During these ten days, under the command of Ning Wushu, the epidemic in Chang'an Beach has been swept away like a whirlwind!
Jinchan Temple sent people to deliver the Bodhi Heart Fruit on horseback, and the rest of the medicinal materials were also urgently mobilized from all over Dayan. Led by Doctor Liang and with the major medical clinics in Anyue City as the core, bottles of Cleansing Fu Soup were sent to various outbreak areas.

At the same time, Mingjian Pavilion urgently dispatched about twenty secret envoys. Under the command of Ning Wushu, they were like sharp knives, accurately finding the local officials, garrisons, or other accomplices who were in collusion with the Eternal Monks, and either killing or capturing them.

Ten days have passed, and although the visceral stone disease has not been completely eliminated, it is only a matter of time.

As for those arrested officials, Ning Wushu hoped to get some information about their "lord" from them.

However, she tried it herself, together with the secret envoys from Mingjian Pavilion, but they were unable to obtain any truly useful information.

They... still seem unable to touch the real core.

However, Fu Qingzhou doesn't care about these.

He knew that his "lord" could not be exposed so easily.

There were only two things he cared about: one was how to deal with the Hongjiang dike breach incident, and the other was where Yuanzhao was.

As for the first thing, after half a day of discussion today, we have almost reached a conclusion.

Ning Wushu will head north next to the core flood-stricken area, which is under the jurisdiction of Fuhe Province. She must visit Yuan Zizheng, the governor of Fuhe Province, and the local army commander.

The bursting of the Hongjiang River created hundreds of thousands of refugees and alarmed the imperial court. The imperial court would certainly take major action. With such a large number of refugees, there was no need for Fu Qingzhou, Ning Wushu and others to command anything, as the imperial court had its own high-ranking officials.

Ning Wushu made this trip mainly to solve the problem of the monks in distress.

Next, many people from the underworld will rush over.

Led by the Ziqi Xianfeng Temple, these chivalrous men will go deep into the refugees and root out the monks who are trying to brainwash them one by one. Qiu Chan is also forcibly sent to the disaster area by Baihe Zhenren to be in charge of the place.

In this situation, if no one says hello, a group of burly guys in strange clothes and carrying knives, guns, sticks and clubs will appear in the disaster area, looking around and acting furtively... I'm sure they will be put in shackles by the officers and soldiers before they can catch the evil monk.

Therefore, the reason why Ning Wushu and Baihe Zhenren are still chatting is that they want to refine their next plan.

Fu Qingzhou doesn't need to worry about these things for the time being.

He only needs to give them some of the power of the Mingjian Pavilion's special envoy, and he doesn't need to worry about the rest.

Because he has other things to do.

After leaving the government office, he did not take a carriage, but walked on the street alone.

After the epidemic eased, the streets of Anyue City finally saw more people.

Although it was snowing and it was already dusk, the streets were still busy. Over the past month or so, people had been going crazy because of the fatal schizophrenia.

Fu Qingzhou was not wearing any weapon today. Walking among the crowd, he looked like an ordinary person who was extremely inconspicuous.

Soon, he crossed several streets and arrived at Yanliu Street.

As the name of the street suggests, this is the red-light district.

How can a prosperous and wealthy Chang'an Beach, one of the largest cities, be without brothels?

At this time, the sun is setting and the nightlife has begun. Lanterns have been lifted high and hung under the eaves. The girls on the pavilion are leaning on the railings and laughing, and the men downstairs are looking forward to it. Just stepping into this street, the winter chill is reduced by three points.

"This Zhao Hao always likes to hang out in brothels..." Fu Qingzhou shook his head helplessly, squeezed through the crowd, found the brothel they had agreed to meet, and strode in.

The madam came closer attentively, and before she could say a word, she heard the young man report a room number.

When she heard the room number, she shuddered all over, and the smile on her face instantly turned into awe and flattery: "I understand, sir, please come in, the young master is waiting for you."

Fu Qingzhou hummed and walked up the stairs expressionlessly.

Although this place was chosen by Zhao Hao, it was not arranged by him.

It was arranged by Mingjian Pavilion.

Even if you are the Qianfang Baixiao Tower, when you encounter these things, you must act within the rules of the Mingjian Pavilion.

After going up to the third floor and pushing the door into the room, I saw Zhao Hao sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, sipping tea, looking very comfortable.

"Yo."

Fu Qingzhou smiled slightly: "Prince Zhao, since you are at the brothel, why didn't you bring your lover with you?"

He still remembered that when he sneaked into Fanyin Temple, Zhao Hao also used the brothel as his base. At that time, he had several trusted women around him, who helped him with his work and warmed his bed...

"Don't mention it."

Zhao Hao put down his teacup, shook his head and said, "Damn it, sometimes you can't trust the person next to you too much... Let's not talk about this."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes lit up: "Any gossip?"

"There's nothing much to say." Zhao Hao pouted and said, "They are my family members, so naturally they listen to my father more than I do. Do you understand?"

Fu Qingzhou said, "Oh!" and sat down next to him, saying with a smile, "That's really not interesting - so, where is Yuanzhao?"

"Ugh."

Zhao Hao did not give a direct answer. Instead, he shook his head and said with emotion, "I followed you for hundreds of miles and even betrayed my brother, but you didn't do anything. There was no scene at the wedding banquet, no love rivals tearing my hair, no bloody plot... It was so boring."

"no?"

Fu Qingzhou was angry: "I don't want to eat your melon, but you insist on eating mine, right?"

"Never mind." Zhao Hao waved his hand. "I really did a great job for you this time. You have to give me a delicious melon next time. This time it's really not good enough."

After that, he pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Qingzhou: "Here."

Fu Qingzhou took it and looked at it, only to see a few words on it.

"Yuanzhao goes south and enters the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

He was shocked: "The Hongjiang River burst its banks, is this a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain?!"

"That's right." Zhao Hao's voice also became a little more solemn: "The evil spirits in Southern Xinjiang are probably the real target of Huijue and Yuanzhao."

Fu Qingzhou was horrified.

Of course he had known for a long time that there were evil spirits in southern Xinjiang.

It's the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains that have been suppressing those things, and with the occasional help from the imperial court and the recent assistance from the Lingjing Sect, those things have never been able to cross the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Kua Ye once described those evil spirits as "a kind of natural disaster", but Fu Qingzhou himself had never seen with his own eyes what they were.

Thinking about it now, it all makes sense.

The Hongjiang dike breach was such a serious incident that the imperial court would certainly invest a huge amount of manpower and material resources. In addition, the fact that Ning Wushu and I had previously solved the problem of the dirty stone disease also exposed that they were here.

Now, by creating disaster victims in the upstream of Hongjiang River, which is not far away, isn't it obvious that they are leading themselves there?
Lure the tiger away from the mountain, is the most reasonable approach!
While everyone's attention was on the flood-stricken area, Yuan Zhao took a few of his trusted aides to the south, secretly causing trouble and allowing the evil spirits to cross the Shiwan Mountains...

Fu Qingzhou felt cold all over.

Huijue is really crazy.

How many refugees does he want to create? How much faith does he need?

How many more people will he have to kill to achieve his goal? !

"It goes without saying."

Fu Qingzhou slapped the note on the table and said in a deep voice: "I am familiar with Wandu Mountain. I will go south immediately."
