Chapter 40 Jiang Shang's Advice

"Ziya, today the Wang family was exterminated by me for treason. Nearly ten thousand sets of armaments were found in the Wang family's treasure house..."

Lu Fan briefly explained what happened after he and Li Cunxiao went to the west of the city.

Jiang Shang and others are all loyalists summoned by himself, and Lu Fan will not hide it from them.

As for Zhang Qi and Lu Fan, they didn't care.

Because he knew that Zhang Qi was not only the person sent by his father to protect him, but also the spy responsible for monitoring his every move.

He didn't send Zhang Qi away just to let him know the news to his father.

Otherwise, it would be a hidden danger to massacre the Wang family as soon as he took office.

After telling everything about what happened, he asked: "What do you think the origins of those mysterious men in black robes are? What should we do next?"

If you don't understand, you just don't understand. Lu Fan won't pretend to be good, after all, there are specialties in the art.

It is completely wrong to leave the top counselors alone without asking, and to have to think hard about solutions on your own.

For the Lord, there is no shame in asking questions.

Facing Lu Fan's inquiry, Jiang Shang pondered deeply, but Lu Fan didn't rush him and just waited patiently.

After more than a dozen breaths passed like this, Jiang Shang said thoughtfully: "My Lord, Ziya believes that the first step now is to take control of the city defense and prepare the Zhenbei Army for a war."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked curious and confused, including Lu Fan.

Without waiting for him to ask, Jiang Shang continued: "Since the Wang family has long had the intention to rebel, they will never fight alone.

Now that the Wang family was destroyed by the master due to some strange combination of circumstances, their accomplices must have been caught off guard and panicked.

If what I predict is true, their accomplices will definitely take action in the near future..."

After listening to Jiang Shang's analysis, Lu Fan, Li Cunxiao and others suddenly realized.

Li Si looked at Jiang Shang in awe.

He had also thought about these issues, but he was far from as deep and comprehensive as Jiang Shang thought.

This alone is enough to see the gap between him and Jiang Shang.

Lu Fan suddenly nodded and said, "Are you saying that the Wang family and their associates will unite with Mobei?"

"Yes, if your subordinate is the Wang family, in addition to uniting internal forces, they will definitely look for strong foreign aid.

When seeking foreign aid in the northern region, there is no one more suitable than the Mobei Tianwu Dynasty. "

After saying this with great certainty, Jiang Shang glanced at Li Cunxiao, Qin Qiong, Luo Cheng, Xia Houwei and others.

Then he chuckled and said: "My lord has many generals under his command. It would be an insult to keep them all here. Why not take advantage of this opportunity..."

Jiang Shang stopped here, but Lu Fan understood what he meant.

Li Cunxiao, Qin Qiong and others naturally guessed it.

For a moment, they all looked at Lu Fan with burning eyes, full of anticipation.

Making achievements and going into battle to kill enemies is a temptation that every passionate man cannot refuse.

As military generals, they naturally wanted to fight for Lu Fan on the battlefield and establish immortal achievements.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Fan stood up and said with a smile: "In that case, let Ziya arrange this matter. As for General Gu, I will personally tell him."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Lu Fan's promise immediately made Li Cunxiao and others kneel down on one knee in excitement, with excited expressions on their faces.

After a brief moment of excitement, Li Cunxiao seemed to have thought of something. He cupped his fists and said, "Master, let Brother Qin and Brother Luo go. I will stay here to protect..."

"No, Zhang Qi and the other five are enough to protect me. Just follow Ziya's arrangements."

Li Cunxiao still wanted to speak, but after seeing Lu Fan's unquestionable expression, he could only nod and agree.

Jiang Shang seemed to have guessed something, so he did not comfort Lu Fan.

Then Lu Fan asked some other questions, and Jiang Shang and Li Si gave Lu Fan answers and explanations one by one.

During this conversation, Lu Fan also made arrangements for what to do next.

After a while, Jiang Shang left with Li Cunxiao and others, leaving only Zhang Qi and five people in the front hall.

Lu Fan sat in the main seat and looked at them for a long time, then he raised his eyebrows and said calmly:

"Zhang Qi, how long have you been a member of the Xuanwu Guard and what position do you hold in it?"

"Back to Your Highness, I joined the Xuanwu Guards at the age of five. It has been twenty-nine years now and I have served as the squad leader in the Xuanwu Guards."

"Squad leader... tell me about the situation of the Xuanwu Guards, how many there are, and their specific cultivation levels..."

Hearing Lu Fan ask this question, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Zhang Qi's face.

"This... please forgive me, Your Highness. This is the secret of Xuanwu Guard, and I cannot inform Your Highness."

"Yes!" Lu Fan's expression turned cold instantly: "I will give you one more chance, either answer or... die!"

However, facing Lu Fan's life and death threat, Zhang Qi just knelt down on one knee without saying a word.

The other four Xuanwu guards wanted to plead for mercy, but Zhang Qi stopped them with a look.

This scene was all seen by Lu Fan. After sighing helplessly in his heart, he waved his hand and said:

"Go down, I will come to you if anything happens."

"Uh!" Zhang Qi looked shocked, but he quickly realized what he was doing and immediately saluted with clasped fists in a respectful manner.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing your life!"

Lu Fan waved his hand nonchalantly, and Zhang Qi turned around and left the front hall with the four Xuanwu guards.

After watching them leave, Lu Fan took a deep breath and murmured to himself:

"Xuanwu Guard... It seems that we need to form a secret force of our own as soon as possible!"

He didn't know much about his father, but he knew one thing clearly.

In addition to the Xuanwu Guard, his father also had a mysterious force in secret.

In addition, his father's cultivation might not be as simple as he knew.

The water in Daqian... is very deep!

After frowning and thinking for a while, Lu Fan took a deep breath and shook his head, his eyes regained their firmness.

The water in Daqian is too deep, and he can't control it.

Other places in the North Border and Hanyang County are not known for the time being, so it's not good to get involved rashly.

But he can clean up the pool of water in Hanyang City first.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan made a decision and shouted to the outside of the front hall:

"Come here!"

After the shout, Zhang Qi walked in quickly: "What do you want, Your Highness!"

Just now, he didn't leave with the four Xuanwu Guards, but waited outside the front hall.

"Go and find Fei Yi and Wang Hun, and tell them that I have something urgent to discuss with them."

"Yes!"

Zhang Qi left quickly after receiving the order, while Lu Fan frowned and continued to think.

In less than a moment, Zhang Qi led Fei Yi and Wang Hun into the front hall.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Their voices woke Lu Fan from his thoughts, and he nodded and asked them to stand up.

He then pondered for a moment, then looked at Fei Yi and Wang Hun and said...
