Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 968 - 767-768: Drawing My Sword and Stirring the Ghostly Rain, Birds Startled as White Bones Pile Like Mountains
"Secret passage!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Jiang Dali’s eyes suddenly brightened, and a slight smile crept onto his lips. He looked at Xie Wei with approval and said, "Xie Wei, you are very good, and you are quite right. However, your thinking is still constrained. Do you remember how Zhu Wushi spent so much time cajoling and pressuring to win over you Ten Great Generals?"
Xie Wei was momentarily stunned, then laughed with pride without hesitation, "I don’t know about others, but Zhu Wushi took four whole years to win me over, and only then did I reluctantly agree. After all, I’m considered one of the most promising among the Ten Great Generals."
"Four years..."
Jiang Dali pondered, ignoring Xie Wei’s self-praise, and his gaze shifted towards the distant Yingtian City.
He couldn’t help but recall the scene when he emerged from the Ninth Floor of the Heavenly Prison and appeared within the Imperial Palace.
He thought to himself, "Zhu Wushi single-handedly established Hulong Manor, creating the top intelligence network in all of Ming Country. Years ago, he adopted Duan Tianya and others as his adopted sons, while secretly training experts posing as Wu Wan and grooming over a hundred able people from The World’s Number One Manor. He probably began plotting rebellion and seizure of power a decade ago.
For someone as patient and enduring as he is, he spent ten years preparing to network with the Ten Great Generals and the Civil and Military Officials and even dispatched skilled craftsmen to dig a tunnel outside the city leading to the Heavenly Prison, and from there to the Imperial Palace. This formed the most effective and quickest route to infiltrate the Imperial Palace for assassination.
It’s likely that Zhu Wushi imprisoned Invincible Naughty Boy Gu Santong in the Heavenly Prison just to have someone to guard the entrance.
Anyone rashly entering the Heavenly Prison Ninth Floor through the secret passage became a ghost under Gu Santong’s hand... so now..."
"Village chief, it seems from your words that you suspect Zhu Wushi might have sent people to the Imperial Palace to assassinate the Emperor at this moment?"
Xie Wei now reacted and shook his head in surprise, "That’s impossible. Without such a secret passage, no one could stealthily enter the Imperial City to assassinate the Emperor at this time."
Jiang Dali ignored Xie Wei’s doubt, as the image of the Fist Tao God suddenly reappeared in his mind. He blinked and said, "Xie Wei, the next battlefield is entirely under your command. Don’t let me down."
"Yes!"
Xie Wei responded in surprise, just about to speak.
At this moment, Yingtian City’s gates suddenly opened, and a team of soldiers swiftly exited the city and advanced straight towards their military formation.
In just a few moments, the team had arrived before the military formation, and one rider charged ahead, revealing himself to be a white-faced eunuch wearing a black crown, who held a decree and unfurled it with a sharp, grating voice, announcing, "Jiang Dali, Xie Wei, receive the decree!"
Numerous players were excitedly curious and started discussing, with some directly imitating the eunuch’s raspy voice, making the eunuch’s face extremely displeased, but he didn’t dare to lose his temper.
Jiang Dali’s eyes glinted slightly as he looked at the surprised Xie Wei, raising his chin slightly as a signal for Xie Wei to go and receive the decree.
Xie Wei immediately accepted the order, quickly stepped out of the formation, and knelt to receive the decree, "This humble servant Xie Wei awaits the Emperor’s orders."
The eunuch gave a slight "hmm," then looked at the indifferent Jiang Dali, who still had not moved out of the formation to receive the decree, and hesitated before pretending not to care, pulling open the decree and loudly reading out.
"By the mandate of heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Song person Jiang Dali, brave and diligent, loyal and magnanimous, has rendered meritorious service to Ming Country. He is hereby promoted to Standard Third Rank National Hero General with the title: Black Wind General
Granted residence: a mansion of a hundred acres in Changzhou City
Heroic General Xie Wei, having once offended the Sovereign, privately forming illicit factions, has committed a grave offense of disrespect. However, considering your sincere repentance and services in protection, merits and demerits offset each other, punishment will be reduced to three years’ reduction of stipend, and after the war, a reduction of military power by fifty thousand troops. It is hoped you will repent!’
=======Thus Ordered========"
"Thank the Emperor for his great benevolence!"
Xie Wei was overjoyed beyond measure, immediately rising to receive the decree, finally relieved.
On the other side, Jiang Dali only felt a notification coming from the panel.
His reputation in Ming Country had once again increased, nearing the level of reverence, and his personal reputation increased by 30,000 points, nearly reaching the next stage.
However, he didn’t care much about these rewards.
What he wanted to complete now was the side mission "Calming Chaos and Supporting the Dragon."
Once this mission was completed, Ming Country would mostly fall under his influence, and his plan for the Three Kingdoms to coexist successfully would have two complete.
After Xie Wei returned, Jiang Dali personally summoned Duan Tianya and others, former undercover agents under Iron Gall Divine Hou Zhu Wushi, to inquire about intelligence related to other royal bloodlines.
The three were all meticulous and intelligent individuals.
Upon hearing Jiang Dali’s inquiries, they immediately understood his intentions and concerns. Now allies against the Divine Hou, they each revealed the information they knew one by one.
"It turns out Old Zhu Family still has a legitimate grandson named Yun. This is the last legitimate bloodline of the Old Zhu Family on the surface. But a month ago, he was captured and imprisoned by Zhu Wushi on Jujiu Mountain."
Upon learning this intelligence, Jiang Dali did not hesitate any longer and directly initiated a faction mission through the panel, rallying Eight Desolate Disciples and Black Wind Village players near Jujiu Mountain to search for Imperial Grandson Yun.
At the same time, he called for Dongfang Bubai and Murong Qingqing and others, instructing them to ride the Divine Phoenix directly to Jujiu Mountain to bring back Imperial Grandson Yun.
At this moment, despite speculating that Zhu Wushi may have already entered the Imperial Palace.
Jiang Dali was in no hurry.
