Shortly after speaking out, the first batch of disciples led by the Black Guard arrived at the border of South Guangdong under the eyes of major forces.

If there were troops stationed in the city, how could they let them enter the city?

During the negotiations between the two sides, the Taoist sect directly fought with the Taoist sect in the army.

The Taoist sect had early manpower, and the Lin family also mobilized them nearby urgently. For a moment, the two sides were equal and the battle was vigorous.

Just as I saw that I was going to do it, I started to do it.

The world suddenly became in an uproar. After Lin learned about it, he was furious.

The Magistrate's Mansion.

After receiving the news, Lin Huayao slapped the table, stood up with a loud voice, and shouted: "Boldly, immediately order Xiao Weiming's troops to take down all the people in the Ming Palace. Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Master General, the troops must not be moved lightly!" Chu Ruocai's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly advised: "Otherwise, if the situation is too big, it may be difficult to deal with."

"The Ming King is so bold. Everyone in the world is watching me. If he is allowed to be so arrogant and lead his men to step on my territory in Guangdong, how can I have the face to rule the Southern Army?" Lin Huayao's face turned pale and shouted angrily.

"Once we dispatch a large army to encircle and suppress the army, we will completely turn against the Taoist sect. The state will not sit idly by and will definitely send troops to restrain them. We will take the opportunity to show kindness to the Taoist sect. In this way, we can only give up the state sect. I am afraid that Emperor Dingwu will be looking forward to our troops now." Chu Ruocai also said with a ugly face.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Huayao, who had just rushed into his mind, had to calm down.

Chu Ruo knew him and knew that when it came to the dynasty and Emperor Dingwu, Lin Huayao would inevitably calm down.

Lin Huayao sat down again and suddenly looked up at Chu Ruocai: "How is the investigation over there?"

When Chu Ruocai heard this, his eyes also narrowed: "There is no result yet. He has used three dark numbers in a row, but so far, there has been no reply."

"What the hell is going on in the palace?" Lin Huayao frowned and murmured: "It has been seven consecutive days, and there has been no news in the palace. This is absolutely abnormal."

After hearing what he said, Mo Bai's worries were not redundant. Although the palace was tightly blocked, the warlords such as Lin still noticed the abnormality.

After all, Lin Huayao was an important official in the court. Although after he defected, the palace almost turned his power to the bottom and cleared a large number of them, there were still fish that missed the net.

After he rose again, he would have to arrange secret numbers in the palace, which would be much easier than other warlords.

Some time ago, the princess was attacked during pregnancy, which led to the destruction of the Huangting Mansion. How could Lin not investigate the specifics of such a big deal?

After the Ming King returned to Beijing and entered the palace with the princess, the dark boy was activated here, hoping to explore the real situation of Lin Suyin.

But something unexpected happened. The mysterious boy, who has always been safe, lost contact this time.

I noticed something was wrong here, so I activated another secret, but there was no news.

Now, I became nervous here, and it was no trivial to lose contact with two secret secrets in a row.

After considering it, the dark cells on different lines were activated one after another.

The palace has been completely blocked, so it is natural that no news can be heard from the dark boy.

Lin did not hide the reaction from this side, realizing that it was not a problem with one of the secretaries, and that the secretaries on different lines would not be missing at the same time. I am afraid that there was a problem in the palace.

At this time, Lin's family didn't care about Lin Suyin's affairs. What they were more concerned about was what was wrong with the palace?

Lin Huayao had many hidden forces in the capital, and he could not find it in the palace, so he started from outside the palace.

Soon all kinds of information were summarized and analyzed again, and nothing was seen, but if you want to say something abnormal, it was not without it.

Two people's names fell into the eyes of Lin's family, King De Mo Jiangqu, and Duke Qin Qu Guochang.

"Where is Qu Guochang? Is there a breakthrough?" Lin Huayao asked in a deep voice with a serious eyebrows.

Chu Ruo only realized why Lin Huayao suddenly mentioned this name. Lin's intelligence analysts noticed that there was no major dynasty meeting in the palace during this period.

Dingwu rarely summoned his ministers, but King De and Qu Guochang frequently entered the palace and were summoned by Dingwu.

King De is the chief of the royal family's sect. He does not have to go to the palace to serve except for the grand dynasty meeting.

Qu Guochang was a military general and a title of Duke. Because he was a father-in-law and relative of the country, he gave up his military power and was on duty in the court. He was a series of forces supporting the ninth prince. Because Concubine Lan was favored, he was very powerful in the court.

However, Dingwu has always been very afraid of party struggles in the court, so Qu Guochang was not his close minister, and he rarely summoned this person alone in the past.

Why did they suddenly start to summon these two people frequently?

What else is there to summon two unrelated people at the same time?

A relative of the foreign country and a royal family, they felt that it should be related to the establishment of a crown prince.

There is only one thing related to these two people, and there is only the founding crown prince.

Considering that Dingwu deposed the prince some time ago and attacked the gang-building forces in the court, which severely damaged the prince and the eldest prince, Lin Huayao felt that Dingwu should have a fancy to the ninth prince.

But even so, it is okay to summon King De, and Qu Guochang is a relative of the foreigners. Dingwu needs to discuss with him?

Chu Ruocai's mind flashed through these and said, "It turns out that Qu Guochang has indeed had something abnormal recently. According to inquiries, Qu Guochang has recently contacted some ministers from some of the ninth princes in the court, and he even summoned his old generals in the army."

"Huh?" Lin Huayao raised his eyebrows: "Contact the ministers and summon the old subordinates of the army. What is he trying to do?"

"It's really strange. If he hadn't been summoned by Dingwu one after another recently, doing so would have seemed to be a sign of rebellion." Chu Ruocai said with a strange look.

"Qu Guochang was born as a military general, but his military achievements were not outstanding. He could only stand in the court for many years by relying on the style of a pillow. He could not succeed in his martial arts. Even if he contacted his old subordinates, he could not rebel from Dingwu with his little strength." Lin Huayao shook his head, and could hear that he did not have a high evaluation of Qu Guochang.

"Rebellion is impossible. He should have been subjected to the secret order of Emperor Dingwu, but we cannot analyze the purpose of Emperor Dingwu asking him to contact his close ministers and old troops." Chu Ruocai nodded.

Lin Huayao thought silently for a moment and said, "There must be something tricky about this matter. With my understanding of Dingwu, no matter what purpose he is, he will never take the initiative to make his ministers form a clique, and even more so that the foreign relatives will take charge of the army. Even if he takes a step back, what is Dingwu really planning? How dare Qu Guochang accept the order easily? How dare he really form a clique with the court officials and regain the power of the monarch?"

As the saying goes, the king’s heart is unpredictable. There are some things that even if the emperor asks you to do, you cannot do.

Chu Ruocai agreed with Lin Huayao's view, but said: "But according to our investigation, Qu Guochang does not seem to be forced, nor does he seem to feel that the disaster is coming. On the contrary, Qu Guochang has been quite energetic recently."

"Investigation, the tight sealing of the palace, Qu Guochang's abnormal actions all show that there must be major events in the country. If you try your best to investigate, you must find out what is going on." Lin Huayao ordered.

"Yes!" Chu Ruo nodded, but said again: "But Grandmaster, should we put this matter aside first? It is important to deal with the Ming Palace first?"

Lin Huayao frowned slightly, and intuition told him that the matter in the palace was extraordinary, and the sooner the closer he could find out the better.

But Chu Ruo mentioned the Ming King, which made him feel bored again, nodded and said, "Well, in your opinion, how should we deal with the current situation?"

"If the army can remain unmoved, it will not move, otherwise it will be detrimental to our subsequent follow-up. Even if the state and the dynasty are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the joint anti-barbarism treaty has been signed and the war will begin soon. At that time, we will still be able to use Taoist sects. Now it is really worth it to be a complete enemy of them."

Chu Ruo said this and said a little silently, "According to the opinions of his subordinates, the two mountains and four gates, Yuqing Zhenren, may not be their original intention to attack me, Lin. They should also be coerced by the Ming King."

"If it is coercion, they will at most send some people to deal with it. But you can see that this time, not only did they openly stand up and target us, but they also almost all the elites. They must not be ignored. You must check this matter and see what methods did the Ming King use to make Yuqing and the others dare to openly become enemies with us." Lin Huayao shook his head and said.

"Yes!" Chu Ruocai agreed with Lin Huayao's words, but he still insisted on his point of view: "No matter what means the Ming King used, I always think that Yuqing and others would not be willing to break up with us completely, but were just being coerced by Ming King. We cannot use a large army, we can order Shangqingshan to draw elite troops to intercept them, and first control the scope of the battle to Taoism."

Lin Huayao thought for a while and nodded, "Yes. Even if Yuqing and others are acting, they will not be able to bear the power of Qingshan family to block it, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the Ming King."

"It is another saying that the Dao Sect dares to make things difficult for us, but it is just that the war is about to start and cannot be separated from their help. We dare to openly make things difficult for our Southern Army. Let us first use Shangqingshan to block the Dao Sect's arrogance, let the Dao Sect understand, and let the world understand that our Southern Army is no longer the same. With the help of Shangqingshan, we have already had the power to protect ourselves on the battlefield, and we do not have to rely on one hundred and eight mountains." Chu Ruocai said.

"At that time, even if we lose, we don't have to come forward, there will naturally be people who are afraid that we will dispatch the army in anger and will seriously damage the vitality of the Taoist sect. We can't rely on 108 Mountains, but the other forces still need 1083 to help, so we will naturally come out to mediate. When they jump out to mediate, we will not be so passive."

After hearing this, Lin Huayao made a plan and thought it was feasible, so he nodded and agreed.

But then, Lin Huayao had a headache again: "Even if the final negotiations are final, Lu Xunyi and others, according to your opinion, what should we do in the end."

Speaking of this, Chu Ruocai also smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand what the Ming King is thinking. He wants to save Lu Xunyi and others, so he can send someone to negotiate with us in private. Now that we have such a big scene, he never thought that even if we wanted to let Lu Xunyi go, we can't let it go easily now, otherwise where is the majesty of the Southern Army?"

"He is used to being arrogant!" Lin Huayao said coldly.

"Master, we have dealt with the Ming King a lot. Although this person is arrogant, he is definitely not a brave but unscheming person. He will never have considered the consequences of doing this, but he still did so. My subordinates think that the actual problem of the Taoist sect is coming, and what we should pay more attention to is the deep meaning behind the Ming King's doing this." Chu Ruochu said solemnly before leaving.
