Chapter 156: Zhang Wu has not been found yet? Uninvited guests in the Wu Palace
Prince Wu's Mansion.
The inner court.
Ever since receiving the imperial edict, the King of Wu has been in a state of anxiety and has lost his appetite.
And at the first time.
He asked his general Zheng Lu to prepare the army, and asked all the warriors under his command to gather in the palace to protect his safety. At the same time, he sent some warriors to Yangwu Town.
Closely monitor the movements of the White Lotus Sect.
The King of Wu at this time.
Leaning on the rattan chair, he frowned and asked the butler on the side: "Has Zhang Wuren not been found yet?"
"not yet."
The butler shook his head.
With a trace of doubt on his face, he said, "In the past few days, I have had people search the entire Xingqing Prefecture, but I couldn't find any trace of Zhang Wu. It's as if he has disappeared from the face of the earth."
"This useless thing." Upon hearing this, King Wu's face darkened and he cursed in a low voice.
He said indifferently, "Since you can't find it, there's no need to look for it anymore. It's just a finger-profound realm, it's not something that will cause me to go to war. It doesn't matter whether it's dead or alive."
"Yes."
The butler responded respectfully.
"Has anyone come to the north?" King Wu said as he slowly stood up.
He stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of fear.
The housekeeper replied, "They haven't come yet, but the third elder of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, Tang Cai'er, has just appeared in the Pacification Office, so I think she will be here soon."
"Do you know who this person is?"
Based on his understanding of that person, since he had already decided to take action against the White Lotus Sect.
It is impossible, and they will only send out a trap camp.
That person has always been very careful in what he does. If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But once he takes action, he will make sure it is foolproof. A single trap camp cannot do this.
"I don't know."
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, you also know that our people can't even enter the Juman Pass. Unless he wants us to know what that person has decided, even if we use all our means, we won't be able to find out at all."
The King of Wu naturally knew this.
Or rather, everyone in the world knows this.
these years.
It’s not that there are people who want to place their own spies in Juman Pass.
To monitor that person's every move.
But without exception, they all ended in failure.
It doesn't matter whether they are sending out ordinary people or warriors with high cultivation, even a celestial realm master.
Less than an hour.
The bodies would be thrown outside the pass as a warning.
As time went by, no one tried it again.
"Yes, my lord."
Under the frown of King Wu.
The housekeeper said in a deep voice: "Yangwu Town was on alert yesterday. The area within a radius of ten miles was full of spies and the defense was tight. Maybe they noticed something."
"They are indeed alert." Upon hearing this, the King of Wu sneered and then asked the butler, "The order has not been passed down to the military camp yet, right?"
"not yet."
The housekeeper replied, "The only ones who know the contents of the imperial edict are me and the prince. I haven't even told Zheng Lu yet, and he still doesn't know what happened."
Say it.
The butler hesitated for a moment.
He asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, do you want to think of an excuse to deal with the White Lotus Sect?"
After all, their army had just assembled.
The White Lotus Sect became alert.
If we don't give them an explanation and dispel their concerns, there will inevitably be a risk of the news leaking out.
"No need."
King Wu shook his head.
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he said, "Judging from the urgency of the Empress, she will take action the day after tomorrow at the latest. In just two days, they won't be able to find out anything even if they want to."
The King of Wu finished speaking.
As if he had noticed something, his eyes narrowed slightly and he looked outside the yard with a frown.
'Shuh! '
As the housekeeper looked over in surprise, a figure covered in a black robe appeared in front of the two.
"who?"
Without waiting for the visitor to speak.
The steward of Prince Wu's mansion shouted softly, took a step forward, and his figure was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was blocking the King of Wu. With sharp eyes, he looked at the person who came, and his aura instantly locked onto the other person, and his body was filled with surging internal energy.
'Swish, swish, swish'
The moment the butler's aura was revealed.
The originally empty inner courtyard was suddenly filled with people, looking coldly at the newcomers.
Instantly, murderous intent filled the air.
"Ah"
The visitor was not panicked when he saw this.
After giving a low sneer.
He slowly raised his eyes, which were hidden under the black robe, and swept across the many warriors in the courtyard. He said in a hoarse voice: "Is this the way King Wu entertains guests?"
"You are a guest, you coward who hides his head and shows his tail?"
The butler sneered upon hearing this, raised his hand and made a gesture, and a group of warriors immediately rushed forward and surrounded the man, as if they would kill him if they had any disagreement.
After doing all this, the butler bowed slightly and retreated behind the King of Wu.
But those sharp eyes.
But he kept staring at the person who came.
After the butler left.
King Wu put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly: "Tell me why you are here."
"Old Bai asked me to ask the King of Wu." After the King of Wu spoke, the visitor sneered again, and asked in a stiff and hoarse voice: "Xingqing Prefecture's 100,000 troops suddenly prepared, but my Holy Church did not receive any news. May I ask what the King of Wu wants to do?"
"Do I need to report to you what I do?"
When the King of Wu heard this, he knew the man's origins and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
A trace of anger appeared on his face.
He looked at the newcomer and said coldly, "Go back and tell that old man Bai Yanshan to behave himself during this period of time and not appear in front of me again."
"The King of Wu is so majestic."
The visitor sighed after hearing this, and under the increasingly gloomy face of King Wu, his voice was still hoarse: "This matter, my Holy Church needs an explanation."
"explain?"
"For the sake of your White Lotus Sect, I will give you a chance to live." Under the questioning of the visitor, King Wu's face was gloomy and his tone was already cold: "If you don't get out within three breaths, you will die."
"three"
Seeing the murderous intent in the eyes of the King of Wu.
The man's expression changed slightly, and he asked sternly: "You dare to kill me?"
"two"
King Wu's tone was cold, and the coldness in his eyes was even colder.
“Does the King of Wu really not intend to give my Holy Church an explanation for this matter?” Upon seeing this, the visitor stiffened slightly and spoke in a hurried tone, as if he was afraid.
"Kill him."
However, the moment his voice fell.
The King of Wu's words, which were icy cold and devoid of any emotion, also echoed in the courtyard.
All the warriors in the courtyard received the order.
They all laughed grimly and moved closer to the newcomer, ready to attack.
'Shuh! '
Face this scene.
The visitor's face changed with shock, and he did not dare to bet whether the King of Wu really dared to kill him.
With a flash of his body, he disappeared in the courtyard.
He only left a threat that sounded strong but was actually weak: "I, the Holy Church, will remember what happened today."
"Your Majesty."
Seeing the visitor being frightened away, the butler stepped forward.
Hesitantly asked, "Will this make the White Lotus Sect more suspicious?"
"Quite the opposite."
King Wu shook his head upon hearing this.
He did not explain, but only ordered: "In the next two days, have someone pay more attention to the Zhenfu Division and Zhongkang. If there is any movement, report it immediately."
