Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

When the black-robed man stopped on the back hill, Yang Zhengshan looked at him warily.

This man gave him a sense of familiarity, but this sense of familiarity was so shallow that he couldn't remember where this sense of familiarity came from for a while.

The black-robed man turned around and slowly took off the black cloth on his head, revealing an old face.

Yang Zhengshan looked at this face and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"Eunuch Chen!"

Chen Zhongshu!

No wonder he felt familiar!

But isn't this old eunuch guarding the tomb of Emperor Chengping in the imperial mausoleum?

Why did he come to Kyoto?

And this old eunuch is actually a congenital warrior?

"Lord Yang, long time no see!" Chen Zhongshu showed a kind smile on his face.

This smile is so gentle, so harmless to people and animals!

But this old eunuch is actually a congenital warrior!

Harmless to people and animals!

What a bullshit!

"Hello, Eunuch Chen. I didn't expect that I could actually meet Eunuch Chen again!" Yang Zhengshan bowed his hands.

Chen Zhongshu smiled and said, "Lord Yang has not forgotten our family. Didn't Lord Yang ask Zhang Mingzhong to write a letter to our family?"

Yang Zhengshan's expression moved slightly. This old guy is really a wise old man. He even guessed this matter.

He did ask Zhang Mingzhong to write a letter to Chen Zhongshu about the matter of Nansheng, but Zhang Mingzhong did not mention him in the letter.

"It seems that this marquis is worrying for nothing. Eunuch Chen has already found the problem!" Yang Zhengshan smiled.

Chen Zhongshu shook his head slightly, "It's not our family that found the problem, but your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!" Yang Zhengshan raised his eyebrows.

This Majesty must not be Emperor Chengping, but Emperor Yanping.

He is now full of complaints about Emperor Yanping. The emperor is not a human being. He actually played the trick of hiding the good bow when the birds are gone.

Humph, if I didn't like to cause trouble, I would have to go to this dog emperor to talk to him.

"That's right, His Majesty gave us an order to thoroughly investigate Nan Sheng's affairs!"

"Oh, what did you find out?" Yang Zhengshan was still very curious about this.

Nan Sheng was also very impressive, and he had ruined Wang Zhongzhi and the Secret Guard.

Even he himself was probably transferred back to Kyoto because of Wang Zhongzhi.

"We found some, but we still haven't found out the master behind him!" Chen Zhongshu said.

The master behind him!

Yang Zhengshan's eyes flashed.

This shows that Nan Sheng is not the Emperor Yanping's man!

This is interesting!

Nan Sheng is the eunuch accompanying the Emperor Yanping, but Nan Sheng actually has another master.

Did Nan Sheng have another master from the beginning, or was he bribed later?

If it was the first one, that would be interesting.

Now the Emperor Yanping is 40 years old, and Nan Sheng has been with him for 30 years. He placed Nan Sheng next to the Emperor Yanping 30 years ago.

Tsk tsk, this is too scary!

"So what? Why did Eunuch Chen come to me late at night?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Chen Zhongshu looked at Yang Zhengshan and said, "I want to ask Lord Yang for a favor!"

"What favor?"

"Lend me your personal guards!"

"I don't have a personal guards now!" Yang Zhengshan said with a curled lip.

"Then lend me the guards of your mansion!" Chen Zhongshu smiled without getting annoyed.

"What for?"

"To take down Chun Zai Tang!" Chen Zhongshu's eyes flashed with a sharp look.

Chun Zai Tang?

Yang Zhengshan frowned slightly, "Isn't Chun Zai Tang a study?"

Chun Zai Tang is a very famous study in Kyoto City, with many books in it, and is very popular among scholars.

On weekdays, many scholars like to read and paint in Chun Zai Tang, and discuss scriptures and classics.

"That's right, but there is a lot of power hidden in it. This power has a lot of connections with Nansheng. It is certain that they are in the same group with Nansheng!" Chen Zhongshu said.

It is obviously unreasonable that a place where scholars gather hides many warriors.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and thought, "Why doesn't Eunuch Zhang use the Imperial Guards?"

The 12th Battalion of the Imperial Guards is responsible for the guarding of Kyoto. It is reasonable to let the Imperial Guards take action on this matter.

And he is just a marquis who is idle at home. It is unreasonable and against the rules for him to use force in the city.

"The Imperial Guards need to be cleaned up!"

"Did they also plant people in the Imperial Guards?"

"Yes!" Chen Zhongshu nodded.

Yang Zhengshan's eyes flashed. This opponent looked very powerful. Not only did he plant people in the imperial city, but he also planted people in the Imperial Guards, and it seemed that he had planted a lot of people.

"This Marquis needs the will of His Majesty!" Yang Zhengshan thought about it and said.

It doesn't matter if he helps, but he can't do it easily. After all, he is using force in Kyoto. If there is no will from Emperor Yanping, it will not be too much to charge him with the crime of raising an army and treason.

"Here, the edict you wanted!"

Chen Zhongshu took out an imperial edict from his sleeve in front of Yang Zhengshan's astonished eyes.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yang Zhengshan felt that he was being plotted against.

This imperial edict was ready. It was obvious that Chen Zhongshu and Emperor Yanping had discussed it long ago.

He opened the imperial edict and checked it.

It was a genuine imperial edict. The jade seal on it was very clear. Not only was there a jade seal, but there was also handwriting that should have been written by Emperor Yanping himself.

"So your majesty deliberately ignored me?" Yang Zhengshan's mouth twitched slightly.

"It was Nansheng who made the slander! Your majesty just played along!"

"What about the secret guards?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"When Nansheng targeted the secret military guards, His Majesty was not aware of it yet, but now Wang Zhongzhi has come to Kyoto!"

Chen Zhongshu gave Yang Zhengshan another unexpected answer.

"Wang Zhongzhi came to Beijing?"

"Well, our family asked Zhang Mingzhong to go to Xiaohe Village to invite him!" Chen Zhongshu said.

"..."

Yang Zhengshan was speechless.

Xiaohe Village is where Wang Zhongzhi and Lu Hua live in seclusion. He originally thought that he had hidden Wang Zhongzhi and the others well, but he did not expect that he did not hide it from Chen Zhongshu.

No, Zhang Mingzhong should have been kept secret.

The eunuch Zhang Mingzhong usually seemed to be doing nothing at Chongshan Pass, but in fact this dead eunuch had been staring at him.

Depend on!

It’s useless for me to call you brother and sister, but I didn’t expect that you were secretly staring at me!

Yang Zhengshan suddenly felt a numb scalp.

He knew that the shadow of the secret military guard was hidden around him, but he never expected that even Zhang Mingzhong was secretly watching him.

Yang Zhengshan estimated that nothing about the Yang family in Chongshan Pass could be hidden from Zhang Mingzhong's eyes and ears.

You must know that Ding Qiu was responsible for sending Wang Zhongzhi and Lu Hua away from Chongshan Pass. No one in the Yang family knew about Wang Zhongzhi's existence except Ding Qiu and himself.

But none of this escaped Zhang Mingzhong's ears.

This made Yang Zhengshan doubt whether Ding Qiu was Zhang Mingzhong's!

But obviously not. When Ding Qiu joined the Yang family, Zhang Mingzhong was still working as a young eunuch in the imperial city.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and then at Chen Zhongshu in front of him.

Zhang Mingzhong was arranged by Emperor Taiping to go to Chongshanguan, which is almost equivalent to being arranged by Chen Zhongshu.

But Zhang Mingzhong had previously said that he could not contact Chen Zhongshu.

This should not be a lie to Yang Zhengshan, but it is very likely that Chen Zhongshu has planned to give up everything and just wants to guard the mausoleum of Emperor Taiping.

But because of the Nansheng incident, or because of Emperor Yanping's request, Chen Zhongshu activated Zhang Mingzhong again.

That's right, Zhang Mingzhong was originally a chess piece, and a clear chess piece at that.

Just because Zhang Mingzhong behaved so harmlessly at Chongshanguan, coupled with the death of Emperor Taiping, Yang Zhengshan subconsciously ignored him.

Looking back now, Yang Zhengshan felt that he was still too naive.

Look at the methods these people use to play games openly and secretly, which is worse than Infernal Affairs.

Yang Zhengshan is also considered to be scheming, but when it comes to secretly employing such subtle tactics, Yang Zhengshan can't keep up with Chen Zhongshu.

It's no wonder that Emperor Taiping was able to control the entire court at the beginning. He had no idea how many people were placed there, either overtly or covertly.

However, Emperor Yanping and Chen Zhongshu seemed to have made mistakes. Ji Feiyu's rebellion was beyond their expectations.

When Ji Feiyu was in charge of Chongshan Town, there was no eunuch guarding Chongshan Town, and Lu Hua was not at all to blame for this.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head, his thoughts going a little far.

"When will we do it?"

Getting back to the point, he asked.

"Tomorrow afternoon, at Shenshijie! Our family is responsible for the interior of the imperial city, and you are responsible for Chun Zaitang. There may be an innate warrior in Chun Zaitang!" Chen Zhongshu said.

Yang Zhengshan frowned, "Innate warrior? Are you sure?"

"It's impossible to be sure, but it's very likely!" Chen Zhongshu said.

Yang Zhengshan took a deep breath. Even the innate warriors were involved in it. This pool of water was not ordinary deep.

Nansheng definitely cannot grasp the innate warrior, so who is the person behind him?

An existence that can command innate warriors?

The power of this force far exceeded Yang Zhengshan's expectations.

"Who is in charge of the Forbidden Army?" Yang Zhengshan continued to ask.

Chen Zhongshu did not hide anything, "The Forbidden Army is in charge of Nanyang Marquis, and other places in the city are in charge of Ning Guogong, Rong Guogong and Changping Marquis!"

Yes, it looks like this is a big move.

Nanyang Hou Lu Baishu is the current commander of the Forbidden Army, and it is natural that he should be in charge of the Forbidden Army.

Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong are both idle at home, and Changpinghou is the governor of the Chinese Army. On the surface, they do not lead troops, but the background of the two Dukes and the Marquis is still very profound. The guards in their mansion alone are a considerable force.

Ningguo Gongfu and Rongguo Gongfu are both hereditary and irreplaceable princes, with a heritage of more than a hundred years.

The Changping Marquis Mansion is also hereditary, and the inheritance is more than three hundred years old, the same age as Da Rong.

If you add Duke Xingguo, who has guarded southern Xinjiang for generations, then this is the highest level of the Xungui Group.

As for Duke Chang Guo, Duke Shou, and Duke An, compared with them, they are all not even a bit inferior.

Suddenly, Yang Zhengshan felt honored again. Let him, the Marquis of Jing'an, act together with Ning Guogong, Rong Guogong and Changping Marquis. Our level seemed to be raised a lot in an instant.

But~~

"Why let me deal with Chun Zaitang? Chun Zaitang may have an innate warrior. What if I can't deal with it?" Yang Zhengshan said.

He knew that there was an innate master in the Changping Marquis Mansion, and there might also be innate masters in the Ningguo Gongfu and Rongguo Gongfu.

There are also three valleys outside the city. There are so many innate warriors, and it is not his turn to deal with the innate warriors.

Chen Zhongshu looked at him with a smile, "Our family has never thought of letting Mr. Yang deal with the innate warriors. Others will naturally deal with him when the time comes!"

“But now it seems like there’s no need for anyone else!”

He didn't know that Yang Zhengshan was an innate warrior before he came, but now he knows.

Yang Zhengshan only realized at this time that his cultivation level was exposed!

Damn, he was so surprised at the same time that he actually ignored this matter again!

But there was nothing he could do about it. Just now, he was following Chen Zhongshu, and Chen Zhongshu should have seen his cultivation.

"Hey, I didn't expect that Eunuch Chen would have such a high level of cultivation!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Chen Zhongshu smiled, "It's getting late, and we should leave. Tomorrow, Chunzaitang will be handed over to the Marquis!"

As he said that, his figure flashed, and he turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the depths of the grass and trees.

Yang Zhengshan watched him leave, raised his head and looked at the bright full moon again, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

After a while, he returned to the main courtyard.

Yu Qingyi had already put on his clothes and took out his sword, sitting in the main hall.

"Master!"

Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming back, Yu Qingyi hurried forward with a questioning look in his eyes.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "It's okay, an old friend is here!"

"Really?" Yu Qingyi asked.

Yang Zhengshan smiled, took the long sword from her hand and handed it to Qingxia next to him, "Really, it's Chen Zhongshu, the eunuch!"

He knew that if he didn't explain to Yu Qingyi, it would be difficult for Yu Qingyi to rest assured.

"Some big things will happen in Kyoto tomorrow. I will transfer all the guards in the mansion. You just need to control your family members at that time!"

"As for the rest, it's a bit troublesome to explain. You will know when the time comes!"

As he said, he pulled Yu Qingyi back to the bedroom.

"Will there be danger?" Yu Qingyi asked with some worry.

Yang Zhengshan took off his clothes and lay on the bed, "It's impossible to say that there is no danger. As for how big the danger is, wife, you have to have confidence in your husband's strength!"

Innate warrior!

It's not that Yang Zhengshan has never faced it!

But in Kyoto, Yang Zhengshan is probably hard to rank among the many innate warriors.

After all, many of these innate warriors in Kyoto are old antiques who have lived for hundreds of years.

Compared with them, Yang Zhengshan is undoubtedly too young, and he has entered the Xiantian realm for too short a time.

But this time Yang Zhengshan is facing a Xiantian warrior who is not from the court, so the danger should not be too great.

Didn't Chen Zhongshu say that there will be other Xiantian warriors sitting in Chunzaitang at that time, so there is no need to worry too much.

Besides, even if we can't beat them, we can still run away. If it doesn't work, we can run to the imperial city.

As long as we hide in the imperial city, we are afraid that those old antiques in the imperial city will not take action!

"Kyoto is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, I'm just a little worried!" Yu Qingyi leaned on Yang Zhengshan's chest and said softly.

Yang Zhengshan stroked her back and chuckled, "Don't worry, Kyoto is not as scary as you think!"

Yu Qingyi probably felt a little uneasy during this period. After all, after Yang Zhengshan came to Kyoto, he had been idle at home. Emperor Yanping ignored him, and Jing'an Marquis's Mansion also received a lot of cold treatment.

Although Yu Qingyi didn't say it, she definitely didn't feel at ease in Chongshan Pass.

"Hmm!" Yu Qingyi responded softly.

Yang Zhengshan did not speak again, but just kept stroking Yu Qingyi's back.

The bedroom fell into silence, Yu Qingyi closed her eyes, and Yang Zhengshan looked at the curtain above the bed.

Not only did Yu Qingyi feel uneasy, but even he himself felt uneasy.

When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, and when the cunning rabbits die, the running dogs are cooked!

Although he did not think that things had happened to such a point, he still had such worries.

Therefore, after returning to Kyoto, he stayed in the mansion and rarely went out.

It was no big deal to hide the good bows. He would just be a rich and idle person in the future, and Yang Zhengshan would be happy to be idle.

But what about cooking the running dogs?

Not now, but in the future?

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister must die!

Haha!

Yang Zhengshan did not have such a high level of awareness!

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister will let the king die!

He could not do this now, but he could not afford to provoke him, and he could not hide.

"Perhaps we should arrange a way out for the Yang family. No matter whether it can be used or not, it never hurts to prepare in advance!"

"It is better to prepare for a rainy day than to cram at the last minute!"

Yang Zhengshan thought to himself.
