Peerless Taoist

"Who else knows about this?" Shen Linglong said with a trembling voice.    

Xu Guizong said calmly, "Although this world is huge, all living beings are chess pieces. There aren't many people who hold chess."    

"Other than you and me, there is also Emperor Tang Li. This person attacked East Victory Star River just to find the whereabouts of the Chang'an ruins. It seems like he has already found it, that's why he ordered the Tang army to retreat. If he continued to stay in East Victory Star River, it would only cause him to fall into an endless war. He won't be able to extricate himself from it."    

"The Ji Family of the Zhou Dynasty has always been watching from the sidelines. However, their foundation is even deeper than the Tang Dynasty's, so we have to be wary of them."    

Shen Linglong asked, "Did Buddha tell you such an important thing? Does that mean that the Buddha World's appearance was also arranged by him? "    

"No."    

Xu Guizong raised his head, and Buddha light flickered in his eyes. "If I don't allow the Buddhist World to appear, the Buddhist World will always be suppressed in Spirit Mountain, unable to move."    

"I learned from Buddhism, but I don't belong to Buddhism. Although the Buddha is strong, he is only a pawn."    

" I see far more than they do. "    

...    

Xiliang City.    

The governor's manor of the Left Army.    

"Milord, the Imperial Court has sent a message saying that they want to promote you to East Victory Provincial Governor and that you will be promoted to rank 2 official in the Bureau of Military Personnel!"    

"Congratulations, milord. You should be the youngest Provincial Governor in the entire Imperial Court now."    

The generals present were all extremely excited.    

They followed Lu Yu. As long as Lu Yu's status rose, their status would rise along with it.    

Take some of the Great Generals for example. Their talent was limited, and once they reached a certain age, they would not be able to raise the cultivation level.    

However, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dynasty, they could rely on the power of this fortune to break through their limits and grow to a higher realm.    

The more power Lu Yu had, the more room for them to advance.    

"Why is it the Governor of East Victory? I'm afraid this will be troublesome." While everyone was celebrating, Bao Longtu was frowning as if he was deep in thought.    

Lu Yu asked, "Longtu, what do you want to say?"    

Bao Longtu cupped his hands and said, "Lord, please forgive this subordinate for being blunt. This East Victory Provincial Governor might not be so easy to do."    

"I was previously a censor in East Victory Galaxy and discovered many wealthy and powerful families entrenched in one area. In truth, King Qi was behind all of them. Even though Wang Muzhi had been extremely arrogant back then, he had still secretly paid a large amount of tax money that he had been greedy for. He handed all of it to King Qi."    

"King Qi has truly taken the entire East Victory Galaxy into his own territory. Countless factions in the East Victory Galaxy were intertwined with one another, and King Qi's shadow was behind them. The previous Governor of the Eastern Victory was also considered an expert, and it was impossible for him to die just like that. The official table, on the other hand, is vague and full of doubts."    

Lu Jingsheng said in surprise, "You suspect that King Qi killed the East Victory Provincial Governor?"    

" It's very likely! "    

Bao Longtu sternly said. "When the late emperor was still alive, in order to weaken the power of the vassal lords, a governor for each galaxy. The East Victory Provincial Governor held a high position, and almost all of the military, politics, and wealth were in the hands of the Provincial Governor. If King Qi wanted to completely control East Victory Galaxy in his hands, he had to get rid of the governors. If he doesn't remove this nail, he will be restrained in whatever he does."    

" I didn't notice anything unusual before, but I later saw King Qi personally issue a decree and order the frontline troops to surrender. I knew that King Qi's ambitions had already been exposed. "
