Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 90 Golden Fate [Yin Tianzi]

"The first one is to go north along the canal transport route." Fang Heng pointed at the map with a steady tone.

"From Donghai, enter Guangling, then go to Huaiyin, pass Linqing, then enter Dezhou and Jinmen, and finally enter Yujing from Tongzhou."

“This route takes the shortest time and is the least arduous.”

"The route was mainly by water, and all the places we passed through were important water transport towns."

He paused, glanced at Pei Qingxuan and Huo Yingran, and continued:
"It seems to take the shortest time, but it's not suitable for you."

"No one knows how many of the prince's cronies and those who want to curry favor with the prince and take advantage of the situation are in these important canal transport towns."

After hearing this, Pei Qingxuan and Huo Yingran nodded in agreement.

They had thought of this a long time ago.

Although the canal transport routes are convenient, the important canal transport towns along the way are often occupied by various forces.

The prince's followers are spread all over the place, especially along these important transportation routes, which are their sphere of influence.

Once the whereabouts are exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, from the very beginning, they rejected the canal transport route.

Pei Qingxuan's eyes were calm, having already made up her mind. She spoke softly.

“Although the canal transport route is fast, it is too risky and too dangerous.”

Huo Yingran also agreed: "Well, Sister Xuan is right."

Fang Heng nodded and looked at the two of them approvingly.

"It's good that you thought of this. Next, we need to find another safer route."

The three of them reached a tacit consensus that the canal transport route was completely excluded.

"What about the other two routes?" Huo Yingran asked impatiently, with an anxious glint in her eyes.

Fang Heng nodded slightly, his eyes calm, and said slowly:

"The second option is to take the land post road."

"From Donghai, through Fengyang, through Pengcheng, turn northeast to Guide, then pass through Kaifeng, through Anyang, through Zhending, and finally enter the capital from Tongzhou."

After Fang Heng finished speaking, his eyes swept across Pei Qingxuan and Huo Yingran's faces, with a hint of certainty in his tone:
"This road is also the route you two chose to enter the capital, right?"

After hearing this, Huo Yingran and Pei Qingxuan nodded, secretly surprised.

They had indeed planned to take this route, but had never revealed it to anyone.

Unexpectedly, Hei Wuchang actually guessed their route into Beijing.

Fang Heng saw the surprise in their eyes and sighed in his heart, it was indeed so.

"This road is extremely dangerous!" Fang Heng sighed.

Huo Yingran and Pei Qingxuan's expressions suddenly changed as they asked anxiously.

Fang Heng shook his head, his tone solemn:
“Is there anything wrong with this road?”

“This road is a big problem!”

"The Governor of Guide County and the Governor of Anyang County are both members of the Crown Prince's faction."

"In addition, the Fengyang County Magistrate, the Kaifeng County Magistrate, and the Zhending County Commandant are all very close to the Crown Prince."

"You are taking this road, which is full of dangers and perils!"

When the two women heard about this road and that there were so many of the prince's followers along the way, their faces suddenly changed.

A prefect of Donghai County almost took the lives of both of them.

If there were so many obstacles along the way, their fate would probably be disastrous...

No, it's a sure death.

Pei Qingxuan clenched her pink fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, thinking secretly in her heart.

If I reveal my identity as the Sword Pavilion Saint, these insects will definitely not dare to stop me.

only……

Once her identity is exposed, Huo Yingran can indeed enter the capital with the help of Jiange's power.

But her fate...

"call--"

He let out a long breath and suppressed the hesitation in his heart.

She raised her head, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, and said to Fang Heng:
"What about the third way?"

"The third way is combined water and land transport."

"From Donghai, enter Guangling, change to land, go to Pengcheng, go north to Dezhou, then take the Grand Canal, and enter Yujing from Tongzhou."

"This path, without any powerful princelings along the way, is the safest of the three."

After listening to Fang Heng's plan, the two women nodded slightly and bowed to Fang Heng.

At the same time, Pei Qingxuan became more and more curious about Fang Heng's identity.

He knows so much about the factions of court officials. Could it be that this person is someone in the court?

Even serving as an official in the Ministry of Personnel?

No, it could be someone from the royal family!

The Huangji Poxu Sword inherited by the Daqian royal family is a legacy of the void sword intent.

Considering the sword intent Fang Heng had displayed before, Pei Qingxuan had some vague guesses in his mind.

This is also why, after learning that the two were going to Beijing to file a complaint, Hei Wuchang chose to help us plan the route.

I heard that the situation in the court is very complicated.

The fight for the throne has intensified.

I don’t know which prince Hei Wuchang supports?
Fang Heng was willing to plan a route for Huo Yingran and the other girl, and he also had his own little thoughts.

Now that he knew that Chen Mu was related to the Ten Deadly Poisons, he naturally didn't want to give up this clue.

The county magistrate is an important official in a region.

Even for a prince like Fang Heng, it is not easy to overthrow the county governor.

If this were reported to Emperor Yuanchu, he would naturally be able to capture Chen Mu easily.

But, will Emperor Yuanchu tell Fang Heng about the Ten Deadly Poisons and the inner story behind them?

not necessarily!

Fang Heng felt that his father was more likely to handle the interrogation of the county magistrate in secret and would not say much to him.

He didn't want to hand over the clues he had obtained with great difficulty to Emperor Yuanchu.

Let yourself completely lose control!

Therefore, Fang Heng could only support Huo Yingran in going to Beijing to file a complaint.

He took advantage of the opportunity to file a complaint to the emperor and add fuel to the fire, causing his father to depose the crown prince.

Once the prince fell, it was only natural to take down Chen Mu, the prince's henchman.

What Fang Heng has to do is to protect Huo Yingran.

As long as she entered the capital, she would beat the drum and file a complaint with the emperor.

As for what happens afterwards, Fang Heng doesn't even need to take any action. Instead, people will step forward to push for the dethronement of the crown prince.

Huo Yingran was deeply moved when she heard Fang Heng diligently and responsibly planning her route to Beijing.

Senior Hei Wuchang and I have no relatives or friends.

Sister Xuan and I have no relatives or friends.

They all helped so much!

A warm current flows in Huo Yingran's heart.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I have no way to repay your kindness today."

"Haha, little girl, don't be careless."

"You want to enter the capital, but there is a life-or-death catastrophe waiting for you."

Pei Qingxuan couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard Fang Heng act so conscientiously, pretending to be a senior and calling Huo Yingran a little girl.

He is obviously younger than me.

In other words, Yingran is naive and was fooled by you.

"Please give me some advice, senior!" Huo Yingran, who had just relaxed, suddenly became tense again.

"No matter which route you take, Tongzhou is the only way you can go."

"Tongzhou is the eastern gate of Yujing. If I were the crown prince, I would definitely deploy troops in Tongzhou and wait for you to fall into my trap."

"Unless the prince is so stupid that he can't even figure this out."

Fang Heng said in a solemn tone.

In fact, even if the prince was really a fool, his guest officials would remind him.

"Senior, can't we just bypass Tongzhou?" Huo Yingran's heart tightened, her red lips slightly parted, and she asked hurriedly.

"Of course you can take a detour!"

"Just this detour will add at least ten thousand miles of distance."

Pei Qingxuan took a look at Fang Heng's feng shui map and shook his head.

You can take a detour, of course!
However, if the prince had deployed personnel at all four entrances to the capital, what would be the point of them taking a detour?

Not only will it consume more of his own energy, but it will also give the prince more time to mobilize troops and set up a tight net.

Instead of taking a detour, it is better to move forward.

Go to Tongzhou as quickly as possible, maybe you can catch the prince off guard.

“No need to take a detour!”

"Even if Tongzhou is a den of dragons and tigers, I will still try my best to break into it!"

At this moment, the pride of the sword cultivator was fully displayed in Pei Qingxuan.

This indomitable momentum immediately infected Huo Yingran.

The sword intent surged up and gushed out along with Pei Qingxuan's thoughts.

When Pei Qingxuan's morning dew sword intent dissipated.

The Lingxu sword intent in Fang Heng's body also began to resonate, and it seemed as if it was eager to leave the body.

The sword intent of Chaolu and the sword intent of Lingxu were like a pair of adulterers, eager to have sex.

Fang Heng and Pei Qingxuan saw the entire scene.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Pei Qingxuan's eyes.

Can't you be a little more reserved?

Suppressing the restlessness in his sword intent, Fang Heng continued with a smile.

"Besides that, I have some tricks that can disrupt the prince's vision."

"Please speak, senior." Huo Yingran was secretly delighted and moved when she heard that Fang Heng still had a solution.

Fortunately, I have the great help from my predecessors.

If it weren’t for the senior, Sister Xuan and I would never have been able to reach Yujing City in this lifetime.

"We can send people to fake the appearance of you heading north along the land post road. This will confuse the Crown Prince and draw in some of his men."

Pei Qingxuan nodded slightly when she heard Fang Heng's proposal.

But who should we send to disguise?

They were just the two of them!

"Leave this matter to me. I already have a solution."

"Thank you senior..."

I don’t know how many times Huo Yingran has thanked me.

However, she had not yet finished her words of gratitude.

There was more news coming from the jade talisman.

Meet Du Hui!

Du Hui, the Sixth Prince's guest official.

The last time I sold the military book to the Sixth Prince, it was through Du Hui.

Come to think of it, the two of them are old acquaintances.

When seeing Du Hui's contact, a strange color flashed in Fang Heng's dark eyes.

He had originally planned to ask the Second Prince for help in disguising the whereabouts of the two women.

However, since the Sixth Prince came to me on his own initiative.

It would be a waste of this opportunity if we don't take advantage of it.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Senior?"

"Hahahahaha - I was thinking, this is really a pillow delivered to me when I'm sleepy."

"Look, the person who helped you disguise your tracks heading north is here, isn't he?"

Amid the two women's curious and surprised gazes, Fang Heng chuckled and said nothing more.

……

"Your Highness, the senior has agreed to meet."

In the Shang Mansion.

Du Hui faced Shang Hongye and Huo Yunting and said with a respectful bow.

Now, he is no longer the Sixth Prince's guest official, but a member of the Zhenbei Palace.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

This is an irrefutable truth!
Faced with the solicitation of the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion, Du Hui naturally abandoned the Sixth Prince and joined the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion.

In Du Hui's view, the Sixth Prince's status was more noble.

But the future may not be as good as that of Zhenbei Palace.

He was only a second-class guest official under the Sixth Prince and was not particularly valued.

What's more, although the Sixth Prince also has the background of the Ten Great Dao Courts, he is much inferior compared to the other princes.

Instead of following the Sixth Prince in the fight for the throne, it’s better to go to the northern border and try your luck.

After Shang Hongye extended an olive branch, Du Hui immediately changed his allegiance.

"When?"

Shang Hongye asked hurriedly, with a hint of hidden excitement in his eyes.

There is finally news about that senior military strategist who is so proficient in military tactics and is suspected to have lived for a hundred thousand years.

"That senior said that we'll meet in the City of Life and Death right now."

"You did very well!"

"Follow us to the City of Life and Death."

Shang Hongye showed a look of approval. Winning over Du Hui was a right move.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your support!" Du Hui had a smile on his face.

It was a good decision for me to join the Zhenbei Palace, as I was taken seriously right from the start.

Shang Hongye took Huo Yunting and Du Hui to the City of Life and Death. In the agreed inn, they met Fang Heng wearing the Black Impermanence mask.

When Du Hui saw Fang Heng again, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Behind Fang Heng followed two women wearing rabbit-faced masks.

Although the faces of the two women could not be seen clearly, each of them had her own unique charm and was a stunning beauty.

The one on the left is tall and has the temperament of a swordsman.

Especially this pair of long legs, they can really squeeze someone to death.

The one on the right is half a head shorter, but her figure is more graceful and slim.

The towering twin peaks are particularly eye-catching and unfathomable!

This senior is so lucky.

Du Hui thought secretly in his heart.

He is worthy of being a senior who is valued by Princess Anyang. The two maids following behind him alone are not something that an ordinary family can afford.

The moment Shang Hongye saw Fang Heng, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

She didn't have much feeling about Fang Heng's aura.

But the tall maid behind him felt it deeply and felt vaguely threatened.

Sword cultivator?

It seems that his strength is even above mine!
Shang Hongye's attention to Fang Heng has reached a new level.

Even a maid has such cultivation.

The aura Fang Heng displayed was ordinary, and it seemed to be a disguise.

What a clever disguise, so natural that I didn't even notice anything.

Shang Hongye looked at Huo Yunting, and Huo Yunting shook his head implicitly.

Obviously, no clues were seen.

While Shang Hongye was looking at Fang Heng, Fang Heng was also looking at Shang Hongye.

In Fang Heng's opinion, Du Hui is the Sixth Prince's man.

He said that the master wanted to meet with him, so the one coming to meet him must be the Sixth Prince.

However, the leader was actually a woman.

Sixth brother’s concubine?

Fang Heng pondered for a moment, a hint of doubt in his heart.

After the two sides looked at each other silently, Shang Hongye bowed and took the initiative to speak in a clear and respectful voice.

"My humble daughter greets you, Senior!"

"Um--"

"I don't know why you came to see me."

Fang Heng nodded slightly, his eyes calm and his tone steady.

"I admire your military skills, Senior, and I've come here today to ask for your advice."

"Hahaha—that's easy to say. I haven't had any hobbies in my life, except for the art of war, which I am extremely obsessed with."

Fang Heng laughed heartily upon hearing this, his laughter carrying a hint of heroism:

"Since you all want to discuss military strategy with me, that's fine."

"please!"

Fang Heng made a gesture of invitation.

The two groups booked a private room, sat around a square table, and began to talk about military strategy.

Huo Yingran stood behind Fang Heng, listening to their conversation with great interest.

She is the descendant of a military family. Although her ancestors retired and did not care about worldly affairs, they had no connection with the army from then on.

But she grew up listening to the stories of her ancestor Huo Polu, and she also read a lot of military books left by her ancestor.

Although I have read a lot of military strategies, I still lack the guidance of practical experience.

Being able to hear Hei Wuchang and Shang Hongye's discussion on military strategy today was undoubtedly a rare learning opportunity for her.

Shang Hongye spoke first, with a hint of tentativeness in her tone.

"Senior, I've heard that 'warfare is the art of deception.' I wonder what your opinion is on this?"

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Isn’t this what is in The Art of War?

How do the Sixth Prince’s people know so much?

Fang Heng pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Warfare is the art of deception, meaning the art of employing troops lies in the use of various tactics and the use of the unexpected."

"On the battlefield, both the enemy and us are scheming. Only by using deception can we achieve victory."

"But the art of deception isn't groundless deception. It's based on a precise assessment of both the enemy's and our own strengths, as well as a keen understanding of the battlefield situation."

Shang Hongye listened to Fang Heng's talk and confirmed that the person in front of him was the senior who wrote military books.

I decided to come here at the right time.

Fang Heng smiled slightly, his tone calm:

"Deception is like a sword. Used well, it is invincible. Used poorly, it can backfire."

"The key lies in grasping the timing and the right measure. Subterfuge is not the goal, but the means."

"The true art of military strategy lies in uniting with the regular forces and achieving victory through the unusual. Only by making the regular forces the primary and the unusual forces the secondary can one be invincible."

On the side, Pei Qingxuan had no feelings about the military strategies the two men were talking about.

She is a sword cultivator.

I have never liked the art of war as a way of controlling subordinates.

In her opinion, military strategists are completely evil.

In this world, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a sword.

If so, then strike again.

If there is still something left, it means that your swordsmanship has not been mastered.

To break all laws with one sword is the belief of these sword practitioners.

After chatting for half an hour, Fang Heng and Shang Hongye both gained some information.

"I am here to implement a feint to the east and attack in the west."

"I wonder if you might be interested?"

Fang Heng asked tentatively.

Shang Hongye became excited when he heard this.

The previous communication had already made her certain that the man in the Black Impermanence mask in front of her was the military senior she was looking for.

Now that the senior has taken the initiative to invite me, is he testing my understanding and ability?
But this is also a good opportunity to build relationships with seniors.

The matter of Feixian City is of great importance, and Shang Hongye is not bold enough to reveal everything as soon as they meet.

The best strategy is to first build closer relationships and then invite seniors to join the Feixian City plan.

Shang Hongye didn't think much about it and agreed immediately.

"Please explain in detail, Senior..."

"Your Excellency, are you aware of the incident some time ago when the princes sent military books to Shang Hongye?"

Fang Heng suddenly said the three words "Shang Hongye", which almost scared Shang Hongye. She thought her identity was exposed.

Fortunately, this was just an excuse, and Fang Heng's next words turned to the prince.

"The Crown Prince was utterly mad. In order to acquire a rare copy of the Military Strategy and please Shang Hongye, he massacred the entire family of General Huo Polu's descendants."

"Now General Huo's descendants want to go to Yujing to file a complaint with the emperor, but they are stopped by the Crown Prince's minions."

When Shang Hongye heard this, her pretty face was filled with shock, and her heart was filled with turmoil.

The prince's behavior is too crazy.

Not only Shang Hongye, but Huo Yunting was also shocked and almost shattered his eyes.

After calming down, Shang Hongye took a deep breath, and asked softly with a hint of doubt and expectation in his eyes.

"What does senior mean?"

"Found in the east and attack in the west!"

"Send people to Guide and Anyang to create some noise and attract the Crown Prince's attention."

After Fang Heng finished speaking, Shang Hongye nodded slightly and agreed immediately.

"I'll take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Shang Hongye nodded slightly and agreed immediately.

In addition to wanting to establish a relationship with this senior military strategist.

There was still a trace of regret and guilt in Shang Hongye's heart.

If it weren't for me, the prince wouldn't have wiped out the entire Huo family for the sake of military books.

The descendants of the Huo family want to take revenge, so it is only natural for me to help them.

When Huo Yingran saw Shang Hongye agreed, her bright eyes were full of admiration and gratitude when she looked at Fang Heng.

"As expected of a senior!"

“What a wide network of contacts!”

……

Return to Shang Mansion.

Shang Hongye pondered for a while and began to think about how to make a move in Guide and Anyang.

The Zhenbei Palace definitely has this ability.

However, Shang Hongye did not want to expose this matter, which was related to their Zhenbei Palace.

After pondering for a while, Shang Hongye came up with an idea.

"Du Hui!"

"What do you want, Princess?"

"Go back to the Sixth Prince's Mansion and continue to be your guest official!"

"what?"

Du Hui was stunned when he heard this.

What does Princess Anyang mean?
Do you want me to be the insider?

Shang Hongye's pretty face was solemn as she explained to Du Hui.

"You secretly leaked the matter of the Huo family's orphan to the Sixth Prince."

"Your Highness, Princess, is suggesting that the Sixth Prince's men take action? However... the Sixth Prince doesn't think highly of me, so I'm afraid he won't allocate too many men to me."

Du Hui hesitated for a moment and said.

"It doesn't matter!"

"Just need an excuse."

"The palace will secretly support you with the specific manpower. You just need to get this done in the name of the Sixth Prince." Shang Hongye said, pressing his hands lightly.

Hearing Shang Hongye's promise, Du Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely take care of this matter."

……

Deep in the palace, there is a quiet and peaceful room.

Fang Heng sat cross-legged and muttered something in his heart.

"Luck!"

【Luck: 15367】

"In recent days, the growth rate of Qiyun has slowed down."

Fang Heng frowned slightly, forming a deep frown, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

The bulk of this more than ten thousand points of luck came from the enthronement of the heir to the throne, which added another ten thousand points of luck.

The rest comes from the promotion of Shenghuang Rice.

The promotion of Shenghuang Rice is a long-term process.

But this trickle of water is too thin.

Not even as good as a thin dog!
It was at least twice as slow as Fang Heng had estimated.

“I don’t know what went wrong.”

"When it comes to local grassroots, it's beyond my reach!" Fang Heng sighed.

Going to the grassroots level has always been the most difficult.

In ancient China, there was a saying that imperial power did not extend to the countryside.

In the Daqian Dynasty, although there are ways of cultivation and personal strength, they are enough to split mountains and rocks and overwhelm the sea.

However, the area and population of the Daqian Dynasty far exceeded those of ancient China.

It is still impossible to extend imperial power to the countryside.

After suppressing his displeasure, Fang Heng looked at his fate and finally landed on the [Iron Pen Judge].

This time, Fang Heng plans to be promoted to [Iron Pen Judge].

Fang Heng was extremely envious of Zhou Jueyin's ability to escape through the Yellow Springs Road.

Therefore, I chose to be promoted to [Iron Pen Judge]

"Perhaps, the Iron Pen Judge's golden destiny has the ability to control the Yellow Springs Road."

Fang Heng thought about it in his heart, and then silently recited it.

Destiny chart!

In the fate chart, the purple star symbolizing the [Iron Pen Judge] undergoes drastic changes.

Countless fortunes poured into the purple star, and the entire star began to boil in an instant.

A streak of brilliant gold appeared in the very center of the purple star.

Although weak, it was full of vitality and spread out in all directions.

The entire change lasted for several breaths.

With the light like a supernova explosion, the entire life chart is illuminated.

【Iron Pen Judge】 → 【Emperor Yin】
