Zhao Lingxin's victory over the two princes and tens of thousands of Martial Artists shook all over the Great Da Zhou realm. Especially the third prince that had the most significant impact
Gu Heng, Grand Master of the Gu family, also the wealthiest family. He was given the Chancellor's title under Third Prince Zhao Zemin's tutelage. Gu Heng asked for a volunteer to lead an army to attack the imperial city, following tens of thousands of Martial Artists.
Wei Shi Lang led a large army of Martial Artists to land at Dongzhou and then headed for the capital city and then without the slightest bit of news. Even the Great Naval Battleship was still docked at the port in Tongzhou.
Gu Heng expected that the side of Wei Shi Lang would definitely succeed in capturing the capital. He didn't think of competing with strong Martial Artists. Gu Heng then raised the troops of twenty thousand men to the capital city to congratulate Wei Shi Lang, who had successfully conquered the capital.
However, on the road to Shenzhou, there was no slightest message of the Martial Artists army. Until Gu Heng began to wonder Until his army reached the eastern defense line, He was stunned by the image in front of him. The ground turned black, spreading wide. The scorched leaves of grass fell like a wasteland. This condition results from hundreds of tons of chemicals and napalm bombing, which severely destroys the environment. According to a preliminary assessment by the Ministry of Science, the environment's initial rehabilitation will take several months. And it took many years for the people to settle.
Gu Heng, who saw the dead land state, stopped the army, not daring to progress further. He was just a merchant but had a brave spirit, a warrior who didn't dare to risk his life. Gu Heng had some of the soldiers disguise themselves as merchants to investigate the truth ahead. And when the reports came back, he immediately dismissed the army, not daring to advance.
The message he received was too shaken. Enough for the sky to collapse many times, Zhao Lingxin's army had a victory over the two princes, knocking down tens of thousands of soldiers. But it was still unbelievable the fact that tens of thousands of Martial Artists altered their lives to ashes, not even corpses. Under this horrifying truth, Gu Heng could only retreat to Dongzhou for life.
Gu Heng didn't want to be the next one. There is an example to see, and he is not a foolish person to be utterly resisted. Just keeping your own life is enough.
He hurriedly returned his army to Dongzhou. Zhao Zemin was too suspicious of his actions for the quick return of the military. Gu Heng explained the conditions of battle and the defeat of the Martial Artists. It was a pity that Zhao Zhemin refused to believe this incredible story. Even Gu Heng himself admitted that his story was too unbelievable. He was afraid that if it was himself who had heard these stories, he could not believe it as well.
Third Prince Zhao Zhemin was very displeased that Gu Heng returned empty-handed. So he prepared to become the commander of the war by himself. Zhao Zhemin disengaged Gu Heng from his position as general. Even if he wanted to punish Gu Heng, he couldn't do it. The Gu family is the number one noble family in the land with a long time history. He could not easily touch firm stably
with Gu Heng people.
The Third Prince's news to take command of the battle himself spread among the powerful in Tongzhou. The person who had the most reaction was Gu Heng. He was the one who went to the front lines, watching the brutality of war and Zhao Lingxin's strength as being absolutely impossible to resist. He was afraid that if Zhao Zhemin raised his army to anger the tiger. Fearful that the rest will be involved.
In order to stop the marching of the Third Prince, Gu Heng had called for a meeting of the officials in Dongzhou. To meet and discuss and find solutions.
More than 30 merchants entered the secret meeting in the Gu family's mansion.
"Gu Heng, your story is so interesting; how can there be a force that has killed all the Martial Artists?" Said a merchant with suspicion. Many people thought that Gu Heng was stained, causing some fear. Causing this to come up with an excuse
"I had much fun today, and your stories will become popular if you tell them."
The people did not believe in Gu Heng's shifting words. Even the crowd who supported Gu Heng refused to cooperate with Gu Heng.
Gu Heng was extremely disappointed that there was no one to support him in the meeting room. Leave him alone, but there was a sound from a corner of the room at that time.
"It's not certain that Gu Heng's story has some truths," said a mysterious merchant, countering most of the opinion.
People began to furrow their brows, trying to turn to see who the interrupted person was who believed this nonsense. But they found that this mysterious person, they didn't even know the least. They try to thrust their memory, and they can't find this person in their brain. Everyone began to think exactly how this person entered the meeting room.
But there was one person who was not interested in such matters. That person was Gu Heng. Gu Heng was delighted that someone believed his words, willing to listen to him. Gu Heng hurriedly closed the meeting, leading a mysterious figure to sit and have tea and talk.
After talking for a while, Gu Heng began to know this person's name. His name is Chi Zwin.
"Sigh, it's a pity that they didn't believe in my words." Gu Heng poured out his heart.
"Lord Gu Heng is very intellectual. It was those guys who were foolishly not accepting the facts you had said," said Chi Zwin.
Gu Heng was full of spirit. Finally, some people share the same opinion. It was he who was too smart. Others are to blame for being foolish and not convinced of him.
"Gu Heng is full of charisma. The power of your hand is overwhelming; if you only oppose, who will not show you? said Chi Zwin.
"Yes. Just ask me to be overconfident. Look who dares to oppose me." Gu Heng felt that he didn't have to be in front of anyone. He has to protect his property only. If allowing the Third Prince to take an army to fight Lest, Gu Heng will be in trouble too. He is the one who will become the savior. When everyone knows the truth, they will thank him.
"But this is very difficult. The Third Prince wouldn't obey me easily." Gu Heng sighed.
"Gu Heng, if the Third Prince does not obey, Why don't you seize his power in your own right?
"Oh, I can't do that. I am loyal to his majesty, and I can't make it." Gu Heng hurriedly refused, but at that time, his heart suddenly trembled. At this time, more than six parts of the powers were all under his control. Why didn't he take the place of the Third Prince?
"Gu Heng, you are well aware of the cruelty of Emperor Zhao Lingxin. If letting the Third Prince continue to hold restraint, I'm afraid you will be in trouble," said Chi Zwin.
Chi Zwin's words made Gu Heng a decisive decision.
"I have decided. I will definitely not allow the Third Prince to bring out his army. This plot is going to get everyone in trouble. I'm going to take action to stop all these bad things." Gu Heng did not want the Third Prince to lead everyone into the abyss all together. Since only he is aware of the truth, he must do whatever it takes to stop this tragedy.
"Gu Heng is full of talent. With your leadership, Dongzhou City will surely avoid this disaster." Chi Zwin's words of compliments were like the cool, wet rain sprinkled onto Gu Heng's face.
After a lengthy discussion, Chi Zwin excused himself. Chi Zwin walked into an alley. The gait was complicated as if who trained it well. To avoid stalking, In the blink of an eye, Chi Zwin flipped over, turning his clothes into another like a magical. Chi Zwin draws out a mask that helps disguise his appearance.
Chi Zwin is the fake name of a skillful agent of imperial intelligence. Agent number 7 on a mission to infiltrate, emphasizing separation from within. Agent number 7 walked into a famous tailor shop before saying,
"Mission accomplished Contact the Minister of Defense, send someone to contact for the final negotiation."
