He was already certain in his heart that everything Zhuge Zhengwo said was true.

It was just that he could not understand why Zhuge Zhengwo would tell him this news.

"The Great Ming is currently in a time of great turmoil. Among those in the imperial court whom I can completely trust, you, Capture God, are one of them."

Zhuge Zhengwo's tone was extremely firm when he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Capture God's eyes lit up instantly, and a great sense of satisfaction filled his heart.

This was the manifestation of being recognized by someone.

If the occasion were not inappropriate, he would have wanted to burst into laughter right now.

"With these words from the Divine Marquis, it is enough for me."

"Does the Divine Marquis have any matters to entrust to me?"

Capture God asked.

He understood Zhuge Zhengwo and knew that this man was full of wisdom and strategy.

This point made Capture God admire him greatly.

Therefore, this time he did not act on his own initiative to handle things, but instead wanted to hear what Zhuge Zhengwo planned to do.

"I need to meet with the Head of the Cabinet, Lord Li Dongyang."

"It is just that Lord Li's residence has always been under surveillance, and most of my disciples from the Zizai Sect are not in the capital, so my manpower is somewhat insufficient."

"Furthermore, the Divine Marquis's Mansion is also being watched; if I disappear for too long, I will certainly be noticed."

"Therefore, I need you, Capture God, to bring Lord Li Dongyang to this place."

After Zhuge Zhengwo finished speaking, he handed a brocade pouch to Capture God.

With his strength at the Land Immortal·Heavenly Man Realm, taking Li Dongyang away would be a very simple matter.

The reason he had summoned Capture God earlier was because he did not want to expose his strength.

When in a dangerous situation, one must never let others know what one's true trump cards are.

Only then will those who want to take action against you feel wary.

However, what Zhuge Zhengwo did not expect was that the Zizai Sect would actually make it onto the Martial Arts Sect Ranking, and his true strength had already been exposed.

Simply making the best of the situation, Zhuge Zhengwo still stated his request to Capture God.

Capture God could also guess the reason why Zhuge Zhengwo had called him over to entrust this matter at the beginning, but he just did not expect that the event of making the Golden List would actually happen.

"I will certainly accomplish it!"

Capture God did not decline and agreed directly.

He would not refuse anything that was beneficial to the Great Ming.

"I leave it to you, Capture God!"

Zhuge Zhengwo bowed with cupped hands.

……

Great Ming, Dragon-Protecting Villa.

Zhu Wushi looked at the Zizai Sect on the list and Zhuge Zhengwo's strength with a face full of astonishment.

"I never expected that among these organizations in the Great Ming, the one hidden the deepest would actually be this old fellow, Zhuge Zhengwo."

"He is single-mindedly devoted to the Emperor. If I don't get rid of him in advance, my plan will likely be very difficult to implement, and he also has the Zizai Sect behind him."

Zhu Wushi tapped the armrest lightly and began to think about what he should do.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, his eyes lit up.

"I have it. Zhuge Zhengwo and Yuan Shixian have always been at odds."

"I can use this point to intensify the conflict between the two of them once again."

"By then, Zhuge Zhengwo will definitely be busy dealing with this matter and unable to attend to other things."

Zhu Wushi thought of a suitable method.

He knew more about the situation of the Zizai Sect than even Capture God did.

Since he had already made up his mind to ascend to that position, Zhu Wushi had calculated everyone who could become his enemy.

He understood their situations clearly.

Now that the Zizai Sect was like scattered sand, in Zhu Wushi's view, dealing with them could not be simpler.

Subsequently, he wrote a letter, opened the armrest, and dropped the letter in.

"Zhuge Zhengwo, even if your strength and realm are both higher than mine, so what?"

"I still have a way to make it impossible for you to cooperate with me!"

Zhu Wushi laughed.

Great Ming Imperial Palace.

After seeing the names of the Zizai Sect and Zhuge Zhengwo, Eunuch Sanbao shook his head helplessly.

"If the old Four Great Constables of that year had not fallen out."

"With the strength of the Zizai Sect, they could have completely protected the Emperor's safety."

"I would also have had enough time to investigate the whereabouts of Ye Gucheng and track down the person behind the plot against the Emperor."

Eunuch Sanbao's gaze was extremely cold.

Although as long as the Emperor of the Great Ming was still a descendant of Zhu Di and still surnamed Zhu, there would be no problem.

However, Eunuch Sanbao felt that the fact that the Emperor was assassinated right under his nose was a tremendous humiliation.

If it were spoken of, it would make the Land Immortals of all the other countries laugh for a lifetime.

On this point, Eunuch Sanbao absolutely could not endure it.

Having lived for so many years, it was all for the sake of this face.

If he did not recover the lost face, Eunuch Sanbao would absolutely not let the matter rest.

"Sooner or later, I will find you!"

Eunuch Sanbao said in a cold voice.

Immediately following this, he ordered people to go and do things.

Besides protecting the Emperor, he also had to search for the whereabouts of Cao Zhengchun.

Logically speaking, even if a eunuch of Cao Zhengchun's level died, Eunuch Sanbao would not care.

However, Eunuch Sanbao felt that the matter of Cao Zhengchun's sudden disappearance was not simple and was likely related to the assassination of the Emperor.

Therefore, Eunuch Sanbao was exceptionally attentive to this matter.

He dispatched all the secret eunuch organizations under his control.

……

Great Sui Imperial Palace.

At this moment, Yang Guang had rarely regained his clarity.

"Zizai Sect, first there was the Xiaoyao Sect, and now there is the Zizai Sect."

"Xiaoyao Zizai (Carefree and at ease), hahaha..."

As he spoke, Yang Guang began to laugh loudly.

"Grand Tutor, you tell me, can a person who is alive really be carefree and at ease?"

After Yang Guang finished laughing, he asked Yuwen Tuo, who was to the side, with a gloomy expression.

His expression at this moment was extremely frightening.

His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it.

It made people shudder after seeing it!

Yuwen Tuo had already become accustomed to Yang Guang's mood swings and said indifferently: "Carefree and at ease, it sounds simple."

"But even if one becomes a Land Immortal, how can one truly be carefree and at ease?"

"There are too many things in the Nine Provinces that we cannot fathom."

"We also cannot know what will happen tomorrow."

When Yuwen Tuo said this, the expression on his face was extremely calm.

If it were before, he would have felt frustrated at Yang Guang's state.

In his heart, since he had already decided to replace Yang Guang, Yuwen Tuo naturally would not be like that anymore; his heart was exceptionally calm.

"Hahahaha..."

After hearing this, Yang Guang began to laugh loudly again.

"The Grand Tutor is right. As the Emperor of the Great Sui, the Son of Heaven."
