Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 82 Fang Heng: Zhou Jue Yin, it turns out to be him (Part 2)
The God-Slaying Department.

Peng Xiaochuan drank to drown his sorrows, looking gloomy.

The operation to capture Zhou Jueyin tonight will naturally be assisted by the God-Slaying Department.

It’s a pity that they are not the ones to reap the credit.

Peng Xiaochuan felt depressed.

In terms of strength, he is superior to Li Hanchuan.

In terms of seniority, he is also superior to Li Hanchuan.

In terms of case handling experience, he is better than Li Hanchuan.

However, the one who replaced him to go to Changhu Villa tonight was this beast Li Hanchuan.

This made Peng Xiaochuan feel indignant.

"Isn't it just clinging to the Second Prince's thigh?"

"If I want to cling to the prince, will I be able to do so?"

Peng Xiaochuan snorted coldly, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

He always claimed to be the emperor's lackey, loyal only to Emperor Yuanchu, and determined to be a lone minister.

He has never been interested in forming cliques or joining the prince.

"Hmph—this time... you're the lucky one, Li Hanchuan!"

Peng Xiaochuan picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp. The wine flowed down the corners of his mouth and dripped onto the table.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and a sour feeling surged in his heart.

Zhou Jueyin has now almost become the court's most wanted criminal.

As an old guard of the God-Slaying Guard, he knew very well how great the contribution was in capturing Zhou Jueyin.

Just now.

Steady footsteps came from outside the door, accompanied by a slightly teasing chuckle.

"Captain Peng, why are you drinking alone today instead of having a family reunion?"

Peng Xiaochuan frowned, the anger in his heart was like an erupting volcano, and he couldn't stop it.

He was about to shout when he looked up and saw the person coming.

He swallowed the loud shout that was about to hit his throat.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

He bowed, his tone filled with a hint of respect and helplessness.

Fang Heng looked around and saw wine jars scattered all over the floor. The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

His nose moved slightly and he chuckled:
"Why, are you unhappy?"

"Why not fight?"

When Peng Xiaochuan heard this, his face turned blue and red, and his expression changed constantly.

He gritted his teeth and whispered:
"Your Highness, are you here to make fun of me so late at night?"

"Looking for your pleasure?"

"I'm not that boring."

"As a token of our old acquaintance, I will give you a share of the credit."

Fang Heng shook his head, his tone indifferent, looking as if he had Peng Xiaochuan in his grasp.

When Peng Xiaochuan heard this, his eyes narrowed and he became alert, and he did not agree immediately.

Although he had worked with the Ninth Prince before, their relationship was not so close that the Ninth Prince would take the initiative to give him the credit.

"May I ask, Your Highness, what is your contribution?"

Peng Xiaochuan asked tentatively, with a hint of caution in his tone.

"Capturing Zhou Jueyin, what do you think of this achievement, Captain Peng?"

"If you're not interested, then I'll have to find someone else."

After saying that, Fang Heng raised his foot, as if he was about to leave.

"Your Highness, wait a moment!"

Peng Xiaochuan was anxious, his eyes red with anxiety, and he quickly stepped forward.

Who wouldn't want the credit for capturing Zhou Jueyin?

Since Fang Heng is willing to give him a chance, he naturally won't let it go.

"I am willing to serve Your Highness at my utmost."

Peng Xiaochuan said this with a bow, his tone filled with determination.

Seeing Peng Xiaochuan taking the bait, Fang Heng's mouth corners slightly raised.

"That's good!"

"Summon the God-Slaying Guards and follow me to capture Zhou Jueyin."

As a veteran captain, Peng Xiaochuan has a very firm control over the Zhushen Guards.

Even on the night of the Little New Year, at his command, the God-Slaying Guards under his command assembled quickly without complaint.

"Come with me!"

Fang Heng shouted loudly and took Peng Xiaochuan and others to the south of the city.

Seeing the direction Fang Heng was heading, Peng Xiaochuan's face showed a look of deep doubt.

Isn’t Zhou Jueyin in Xishan?
How to go south?

Is His Highness the Ninth Prince lost?
As Fang Heng headed south, Peng Xiaochuan became increasingly impatient.

He walked to Fang Heng and asked softly.

"Your Highness, aren't we going to Xishan?"

Hearing this, Fang Heng chuckled, looked up at Peng Xiaochuan, and said lightly.

"I thought you, Captain Peng, had already given up on holding back."

"How about you go to Xishan by yourself?"

"Hah—this... Your Highness..."

Fang Heng looked deeply at Peng Xiaochuan and saw that he felt uneasy, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Zhou Jueyin will not go to Xishan!"

Fang Heng's tone was very firm, as if everything was under his control.

This statement made the expression on Peng Xiaochuan's face even more interesting.

The Right Prime Minister and the Second Prince said that Zhou Jueyin will appear in Xishan tonight.

However, the Ninth Prince gave a completely different statement.

Who the hell is telling the truth?

Peng Xiaochuan began to have doubts in his heart.

However, this hesitation only lasted for a moment in his heart.

He has no choice now.

There is no place for him at all in Xishan!

You can only choose Fang Heng and go all the way to the end.

……

"The Xuanhuang Collapse Array has been activated!"

"It seems that the situation at Changhu Villa has come to an end."

Zhou Jueyin put down the military strategy "Thirty-Six Strategies" in his hand.

The four words "escape from the shell" were clearly written on the top page.

I looked up, through the tent, towards the west mountain.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Jueyin's mouth.

There was a hidden sense of pride in the smile.

Before the raid on Meiyuan, he had already made plans on how to escape from the Meiyuan case.

From the very beginning, he planned to escape.

Xiao Yi is his primary target.

He planned to take advantage of the fight for the throne between the crown prince and the second prince to pin Zhou Jueyin's identity on Xiao Yi once and for all.

Unfortunately, it fell short.

If Fang Heng had not intervened, the Meiyuan case would have been closed long ago.

When Fang Heng asked for a judgement and exposed his little trick in public.

Zhou Jueyin then activated the backup plan.

He has five backup plans.

Among them, the one with the highest success rate is the Que Tower of the Northern Barbarians.

In the City of Life and Death, he spread a rumor that he intended to go to the Northern Barbarians to avoid disaster.

As expected, Qingque from Quelou pounced on him immediately like a shark smelling blood, trying to recruit him.

Qingque thought that recruiting Zhou Jueyin was his free will.

In fact, this was not the case. This was all part of Zhou Jueyin's plan, and he even secretly added fuel to the fire.

Qingque had no idea that he had been used as a scapegoat by Zhou Jueyin.

Zhou Jueyin had originally planned how to let the court discover openly that Qingque in Quelou was Zhou Jueyin who attacked Meiyuan.

However, the proactive contact from the Bailian lineage made him slightly change his plans.

While he kept in touch with the Bailian lineage, he also hooked up with Qingque of Quelou.

Let’s meet tonight at Changhu Villa.

In fact, Zhou Jueyin had already set up the Xuanhuang Bengmie formation in Changhu Villa.

When both parties step into Changhu Villa, the Xuanhuang Collapse Array will be activated.

Kill all the troops from both sides.

The Xuanhuang Collapse Array caused a huge noise and would definitely attract the investigation of the imperial court.

Then, they will find out.

Zhou Jueyin's real identity is Qingque from Quelou.

On the night of the Little New Year, he fought with the Bailian clan and died together.

"After tonight, there will no longer be any such person as Zhou Jueyin."

Zhou Jueyin sighed and put away the central city defense map on the bookshelf.

An hour ago, in order to show their sincerity, the White Lotus lineage handed over the final defense map of the central city.

They had no idea that their fate had already been decided seven days ago.

There is only one way forward for them, which is death.

After putting away the military strategy and the defense map of the central city, Zhou Jueyin left the tent.

Outside the tent, heavy snow was falling and the cold wind was howling.

Two personal guards, wearing heavy armor and holding long spears, stood motionless in the wind and snow.

Their eyebrows and beards were already covered with frost, but their eyes were still sharp as they looked around vigilantly.

"General!"

When a personal guard saw Zhou Jueyin approaching, he quickly straightened his back and saluted in a loud voice.

"Have you enough wine and meat tonight?"

Zhou Jueyin nodded slightly, showing a concerned expression, and greeted the soldiers in the barracks warmly.

"Thank you, General. The west wind is very strong tonight." The guard grinned, with a heroic tone in his voice.

"Just enough food and drink."

"Tomorrow, the entire army will be given another cotton-padded jacket so that you can go home and celebrate the New Year in dignity."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jueyin raised a smile and patted his personal guard's shoulder.

"Thank you, General!"

Zhou Jue's gloomy eyes swept over the soldiers sitting around the campfire.

In the light of the fire, the soldiers' faces were flushed, they were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was warm.

However, Zhou Jueyin felt a mix of emotions. "These people are still Daqian's soldiers after all!"

He sighed secretly, and a trace of imperceptible loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Just as he was about to leave the barracks, a young man wearing a solid mink fur coat came.

She is as graceful as a jade tree orchid, with eyes like stars and eyebrows as thin as swords. Her every move and gesture exudes the nobility of a royal family.

The young man came walking on the snow and blocked his way.

Behind him, there was a group of God-Slaying Guards, full of murderous intent.

Seeing the person coming, Zhou Jueyin was slightly stunned, then bowed and saluted, his tone respectful but majestic.

"Does Your Highness have a tiger talisman?"

"Without the tiger talisman, you cannot enter the military camp according to the law."

clap clap-

Crisp applause came from Fang Heng's hands.

"General Lu is indeed very strict in his military discipline."

"However, I came here tonight to meet you, General Lu."

Hearing this, Lu Zangfeng narrowed his eyes, and a strange color flashed in his pupils.

"I wonder what business your Highness the Ninth Prince has with me?"

"Of course, I would like to ask General Lu to go to the Heavenly Prison of the God-Slaying Division."

Fang Heng said the coldest words with a calm expression.

The Heavenly Prison of the God Punishment Department is notorious for its evilness. Who wouldn’t be terrified when hearing the name of it?

Lu Zangfeng was not frightened by Fang Heng, but laughed out loud instead.

"I wonder what I have done wrong? I have to go to the prison of the God-Slaying Division."

"Even if he committed a crime, he should be interrogated by the Divine Generals' Palace and the Minister of Martial Arts first. Then he should be handed over to the Three Courts for trial. It would never be the turn of the God Punishment Court."

"Zhou Jueyin is a remnant of the Ghost Gate and is handed over to the God Punishment Department for processing. What's the problem?"

"General Lu, what do you think of my reason?"

"Zhou Jue Yin?"

"Your Highness, you need to practice your method of throwing dirty water again."

Lu Zangfeng snorted coldly, his face showing no sadness or joy, and no fear at all.

"Ugh--"

"Wouldn't it be alright if you just admitted it?"

"Why do you have to make me waste my breath?"

"Zhou Jueyin, I have seen through your little trick of escaping."

A strange look flashed across Lu Zangfeng's deep eyes, and he said coldly.

"It seems that Your Highness has determined that I am Zhou Jueyin?"

"I don't know how I could have caused you to misunderstand me, Your Highness."

"Three reasons!"

Fang Heng raised his right hand, stretched out three fingers, and spoke slowly.

"Appreciate further details!"

"First, I pretended to be from the White Lotus lineage and gave Zhou Jueyin the South City defense map. Zhou Jueyin immediately took the bait."

"Obviously, Zhou Jueyin knows that the South City defense map is real."

"It can be seen that Zhou Jueyin is a general in the army, most likely one of the thirty-six divine generals."

After saying that, Fang Heng put away the first finger.

When Lu Zangfeng heard Fang Heng's first reason, he remained expressionless but was shocked in his heart.

The person who contacted him from the White Lotus lineage was Fang Heng in disguise?

However, these minor flaws could not shake Lu Zangfeng's determination to follow the Tao.

On the other side of Xishan, the evidence is conclusive.

Even if Fang Heng talks a lot, he can't turn right into wrong.

"Your Highness, I am ignorant of your plan and have no idea about it."

"However, there are so many generals in the army. Why does Your Highness suspect me?"

"That brings us to the remaining two reasons."

"Secondly, Zhou Jue secretly framed General Xiao Yi. He boasted of his superiority, but in reality, he exposed his true identity."

"Zhou Jueyin seems clever, using the conflict between the eldest and second brothers to frame General Xiao Yi, but he actually has other motives."

"What's the purpose?"

"Zhou Jueyin secretly destroyed the God-Slaying Formation. If there was a position Zhou Jueyin desired most, it would have to be the Five Cities Commander who controlled the God-Slaying Formation."

"General Xiao Yi is a popular candidate for the position of Five Cities Commander. If he is framed as Zhou Jueyin, who will benefit the most?"

"Of course it's General Xiao Yi's biggest competitor, General Lu."

After saying that, Fang Heng put away his second finger.

Hearing this, Lu Zangfeng remained expressionless and shook his head.

"Your Highness, Zhou Jueyin is a man of deep scheming and cunning, known throughout the world."

"Have you ever thought that this is the effect Zhou Jueyin wants?"

"While framing Xiao Yi, they are also framing me."

After Lu Zangfeng finished speaking, Fang Heng nodded in agreement.

"General Lu is absolutely right."

"Therefore, even after clearing General Xiao Yi of suspicion, I still dare not be sure whether this is Zhou Jueyin's serial frame-up plan."

“That brings us to the third reason.”

"Thirdly, Zhou Jueyin was able to kill General Chu Xiaoye without making a sound. Based on speculation, it was most likely done by someone he knew."

"A few days ago, the Chu brothers came to seek refuge with me. I learned that General Chu once served under the King of Zhennan and commanded troops in Southern Xinjiang for many years, so he has considerable connections."

"And General Lu, where was the battle that made you famous? Do you need me to tell you?" (See Chapter 73 for details)
Fang Heng put away his third finger, sneered, and stared at Lu Zangfeng to see how he would argue.

That day, he was in Tieyifang and heard that many of the southern Xinjiang specialties in Tieyifang came from Chu Xiaoye's connections.

At that time, he sighed: So that's how it is.

What he was lamenting about was not the origin of Tieyifang's southern Xinjiang specialty.

What he lamented was Zhou Jueyin's identity.

A powerful military commander.

The favorite to compete for the position of Commander of the Five Cities.

He has experience in commanding troops in southern Xinjiang and is an old acquaintance and even a good friend of Chu Xiaoye.

Combining these conditions, Fang Heng guessed Zhou Jueyin's identity.

But he had no evidence.

Therefore, Fang Heng had to go to the Imperial Observatory and ask for help from the director.

Peng Xiaochuan and others behind Fang Heng had eager eyes, as if there were flames burning in them.

Zhou Jueyin is actually the most powerful general under the prince.

This news is so exciting!
I'm afraid that tomorrow, the whole government and the country will be shocked.

As a member of the arrest operation, he felt honored just thinking about it.

Solid qualifications!

The wind and snow are getting heavier.

Lu Zangfeng couldn't help but applaud.

The crisp applause was particularly loud in the wind and snow.

"Your Highness's speculation is truly brilliant. It would be a shame if you didn't write a novel about it."

"However, what Your Highness said is just speculation."

"If Your Highness suspects me, I will surrender myself to the Minister of War. Please ask the Minister of War to conduct a thorough investigation."

Lu Zangfeng looked righteous and imposing.

This made Peng Xiaochuan feel uneasy.

Did Your Highness guess wrong?
At this moment, Fang Heng sighed.

"I knew you wouldn't surrender so easily, General Lu."

"Therefore, I specifically asked the Supervisor to make some adjustments to the defense map."

The words fell.

Brilliant starlight suddenly burst out from Lu Zangfeng's body.

Faintly, it shines with the stars in the sky.

The source of these starlights is the defense map that Fang Heng gave to Lu Zangfeng in the name of the White Lotus lineage.

Except for the initial South City defense map, which is completely normal.

The other four cards all contain the Supervisor's Zi Wei Dou Shu.

But, to prevent Lu Zangfeng from finding out.

The Supervisor divided his Zi Wei Dou Shu into four parts and hid them in the defense map.

It was so hidden that even Lu Zangfeng didn't notice it.

At this moment, the four defense maps are gathered together.

Zi Wei Dou Shu is completely formed.

The bright stars shine together.

Four defense maps, soaring into the sky, guarding the four directions.

The starlight gathered together, faintly enveloping Lu Zangfeng.

The moment Jianzheng's Zi Wei Dou Shu appeared, Lu Zangfeng could no longer remain calm.

He didn't expect that he would capsize in the ditch.

Fang Heng, who was insignificant before, actually ruined his own plans time and time again.

He also used the Zi Wei Dou Shu of the Supervisor to force out his identity.

"Fang Heng, it's not just me who underestimates you, the whole world underestimates you."

"You've been poisoned since childhood, yet you're so smart."

"The Fifth Prince's exquisite mind is just like this."

"only……"

"Do you think you can take me down with just these people you brought with you?"

"Unbelievable!"

Lu Zangfeng sneered, his smile was ferocious, like a demon from the underworld.

After his identity was exposed, he simply stopped pretending.

A terrifying aura burst out from his body.

The terrifying aura seemed to come from an ancient ferocious beast.

In front of him, Fang Heng and others were like shivering little white rabbits, or like a small boat in a storm.

However, there was no fear on Fang Heng's face.

He bowed in the direction of the imperial palace.

"Your son, respectfully welcomes your father!"

next second.

A golden divine light descended upon the South City military camp.

This divine light was so bright that it seemed as if it was made entirely of gold.

In an instant, the entire night sky of Yujing City was illuminated as bright as day.

The people of the entire Yujing City suddenly looked up and were shocked to find that.

Its daybreak!
