Chapter 1280
"That's why, apart from the battle at Beiguan, I used several trusted advisors..."
"Whether it's going up to the top of Lingshan Peak or launching a counterattack on southern Shanxi, I dare not use the people of Shenjishu."
"The task assigned to them was more of a military oversight."
‘Gulu. ’
Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian and Zhang Liansong couldn't help but swallow hard and asked, "Then, did you tell the Celestial Master about this, sir?"
After he finished speaking, Xu Shan shook his head.
"Those who can ascend the Observation Platform and tamper with the Landscape Map..."
"Which one isn't a direct descendant of the Celestial Master?"
"I haven't even officially taken over the Divine Mechanism Bureau yet, and there are already rumors within the organization that I'm too arrogant and don't know how to respect the elderly."
"If I were to actually tell you, and then come up empty-handed, then my motives would be impure."
"Of course, the reason I didn't explain it was to lull them into a false sense of security and make them reveal their true colors on their own."
“The Celestial Master is more astute than I am. When public opinion spirals out of control and someone in the imperial court suddenly steps forward, while we in the capital let them run wild without seeking ‘help’ from the Divine Mechanism…”
"He should have been able to see through my ambiguous intentions."
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Wang Qinian, who was standing to the side, remained silent for a moment before asking, "Sir, what arrangements should we make for the capital?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan smiled faintly and said, "In the eyes of outsiders, when have we, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, ever been cowards?"
"If we do nothing, the mastermind behind it all will feel uneasy!"
"Of course, I would like to make one thing clear to the court officials and the visiting family heads and representatives..."
"Although I am not in the capital, I can still control half of the situation there."
"Increase the intensity for them."
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked out the window at Xu Shan, who was making arrangements one by one.
Wang Qinian, standing behind him, carefully took notes, afraid of missing any details.
After all, the secret to their master's strategic planning and decisive victory lies in the accumulation of countless details.
"The commander of the patrol battalion and commander of the garrison, Deng Ziyue, is hereby ordered to personally investigate this matter."
"Those secretly funded by the eight major families should be arrested directly."
"My lord, what if it's an official of a higher rank?" Wang Qinian asked cautiously.
Hearing this, Xu Shan pointed to the brightly lit Wu family compound outside and said, "Whatever evidence Deng Ziyue needs, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will provide it to him after today. And it has to be the people from the Eight Great Families who will personally provide the evidence."
"understand!"
"Should we also increase the intensity of the court proceedings?"
"After the Eastern Depot was reopened, Lin Pingzhi managed it very well."
After Wang Qinian finished speaking, Xu Shan smiled and said, "Since we're going to make a move, then..."
"We have to make them feel the pain."
"If you don't push a dog to the limit, it won't jump over the wall. If you don't push a person to the limit, why would the mastermind behind the scenes dare to wade into these muddy waters?"
"got it."
"Your subordinate will make the arrangements."
After saying this, Wang Qinian hurriedly left and immediately summoned his trusted confidant Wu Jieyu to his side.
He didn't trust anyone else with this matter.
But Wu Jieyu, who has been by his and Lord Xu's side for so long, is definitely capable of handling some details properly!
"Remember..."
"What the authorities want is superficial stability. Behind the scenes, things can simmer and fester!"
"Give them some space, but make them feel that we are pressing them step by step."
"Yes."
Just as Wang Qinian was instructing his subordinates, Xu Shan, with his hands resting on the wooden window, had already seen the totem flag of the barbarian king's tent at the end of the street.
"coming!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liansong quickly approached and said, "My lord, the worshipper of Wahamu, Totohua, is said to be a proud daughter of the northern desert."
"He was only in his early twenties, yet he had already comprehended the Earthly Fiend Qi. Last year, he even single-handedly withstood the Earthly Tribulation."
"Promoted to the eighth rank!"
"I heard, I heard it was her..."
Before Zhang Gou Dan could finish speaking, Xu Shan, who had been slowly turning his head, interrupted his eloquence with a single sentence.
"Let's get to the point."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liansong, with his head held high and chest puffed out, said in a serious tone, "My lord, I just want to use the 'righteous energy' I have learned to suppress her earthly evil energy."
