Chapter 748 The True and False Emperor Xin

The night was as dark as ink, and the walls of Chaoge City looked particularly stern under the moonlight.

Hu Dixin You stood in a shadow outside the city wall, looking through the battlements on the wall at the brightly lit streets in the city.

"Senior sister." He called in a low voice, and his voice almost blended into the night wind.

Yunxiao appeared from the darkness, and her figure looked particularly cold under the moonlight. She nodded: "Junior brother, get ready."

Hu Dixin You turned and glanced at the guards in the distance, with a gleam in his eyes.

The two looked at each other and moved almost at the same time. Their movements were incredibly fast, like two shadows passing over the city wall.

"Here." Yunxiao said softly, pointing to a quiet street in the city.

Hu Dixin You nodded. The two quickly changed into the casual clothes they had prepared long ago and mixed in with the pedestrians returning home at night.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind.

A patrol soldier came with a lantern, followed by two guards.

"Stop!" the soldier shouted, and the light of the lantern illuminated the entire street.

Hu Di Xin You and Yun Xiao looked at each other and knew that they could not delay any longer.

Yun Xiao suddenly made a move, and a ray of green light shot out from her hand, instantly hitting the two patrol soldiers.

Seeing this, the soldier turned around and was about to run away, but was stopped by Hu Di Xin You.

"Don't move." He shouted in a low voice, with a bit of threat in his voice.

The soldier was frightened and his face turned pale, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Yun Xiao walked quickly to the soldier, took the lantern from his hand, and handed it to Hu Di Xin You: "Junior brother, shall we go back to the palace now?"

"Not for the time being." Hu Di Xin You waved his hand, "Follow me."

The two quickly disappeared at the corner of the street.

The light of the lantern was particularly eye-catching in the dark night, but they cleverly avoided the sight of the patrol team.

"Grand Master's Mansion?" Yun Xiao lowered his voice and said, "Junior Brother, are you going to find Wen Zhong?"

"Can he be trusted?"

Hu·Di Xin·You nodded: "Watch out for your surroundings, don't let anyone find you."

The two walked forward cautiously and finally stopped at the entrance of a remote alley. An inconspicuous house appeared in front of them, with only an old servant on duty at the door.

The two looked at each other and almost acted at the same time.

Yun Xiao hit the old servant's acupoints with one blow and knocked him down silently. Hu·Di Xin·You quickly opened the door.

The house was silent, with only a few dim oil lamps swaying in the wind. Hu·Di Xin·You and Yun Xiao looked at each other and quickly sneaked into the room.

"Junior Brother." Yun Xiao said softly, "Are you sure that the Grand Master really believes that you are the 'real' Emperor Xin?"

Hu·Di Xin·You did not answer, but continued to move forward.

The two came to a secret room, and he took out a jade pendant from his arms and waved it gently in the space in front of the door.

A flash of light passed by, and the door opened. Wen Zhong was sitting in front of the desk, holding an ancient book in his hand, his brows furrowed.

"Who?" Wen Zhong suddenly raised his head and his eyes fell on the two people at the door.

Hu Di Xin You and Yun Xiao looked at each other and quickly stepped forward to salute: "Grand Master."

"Your Majesty?"

Wen Zhong's voice was a little doubtful, but seeing Yun Xiao standing next to Hu Di Xin You, he naturally understood that this person was the 'real' one!

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Hu Di Xin You said in a deep voice: "Get up, I have something to discuss with you."

Wen Zhong nodded and immediately welcomed Hu Di Xin You to take the seat!

His eyes stayed on Hu Di Xin You for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back.

Yunxiao said, "Grandmaster, is there any movement from the fake Emperor Xin now?"

Wen Zhong was stunned and shook his head: "No movement... not really."

"Did he notice anything unusual? For example... asking about me?" Hu Di Xin You suddenly asked.

Wen Zhong's face became solemn in an instant, and he nodded slowly: "Of course there is. Since he wants to impersonate the king, he must pretend to be thorough. How could he not be prepared first?"

Yunxiao nodded: "Then tell the king what he told you."

No way.

The fake Emperor Xin did not believe her. After all, she entered the court after Hu Di Xin You took over the Shang Dynasty.

This is also human nature.

Wen Zhong stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night outside: "That man is very vigilant. He said that he would not tell us anything until we believe him."

Hu·Di Xin·You nodded: "That's easy. Just believe him, isn't it?"

Wen Zhong pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "My king, what do you mean..."

"Grandmaster, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child."

Hu·Di Xin·You whispered, "I need you to find out the true identity of this person and reveal his true purpose."

Wen Zhong nodded: "I will do my best. But... why would 'he' pretend to be 'Emperor Xin'? Does 'he' want to replace him?"

"I'm afraid so." Yun Xiao said in a deep voice.

Wen Zhong suddenly sneered: "How daring! He dares to do such a thing. If I know who is behind him... Humph!"

"But I suspect... this matter is related to 'Yuan Shi Tian Zun'."

"Yuan Shi Tian Zun?" Hu·Di Xin·You and Yun Xiao were stunned.

This Wen Zhong's imagination is really big!

How did this get to the Chan Sect?

"Yes."

Wen Zhong nodded, "Imagine a generation of human emperors, and I must not do anything that a saint can do, so it must be related to the current six saints of the Heavenly Dao."

"Niuwa, one of the six saints, today, will not do such tricks, and the Houtu who is in charge of reincarnation has no grudges with our Da Shang. Needless to say, the Jie Sect is now my Da Shang National Church, and I won't do this. I won’t talk about such things as Taiqing Saint of the People’s Education. He has always been indifferent to the world, and the only thing left is the Western Emperor Hongyun and the Yuanshi Tianzun of the Syndrome. "

"It seems that this matter is much more complicated than we imagined." Hu Dixin You whispered, giving Yun Xiao a look.

He and Yun Xiao obviously knew that the fake emperor Xin was very likely to be the real emperor Xin. It was only possible to be related to the Chaos creatures, but not to be related to the Six Saints.

Wen Zhong’s guess is that he may not throw the blame to the Chan School.

Yunxiao suddenly spoke, "King, Master Wen's statement makes sense! The true identity of this 'Fake Emperor Xin' is not clear yet. But we must find him as soon as possible and reveal his true purpose."

"No matter whether the other party is a member of the Ancient Sect or not, as long as he pretends to be the Human Emperor, it is enough to kill him!"

"That's right."

Hu Dixin You nodded and looked at Wen Zhong: "I have an idea."

"Please speak with you, lord!"

Wen Zhong's eyes immediately lit up!

He had been waiting with the people in the court for so long without any movement, just waiting for the backbone of the king to come back.

At this moment, the king came up with a solution, which is naturally a good thing for him!

"Bigan."

Hu Dixin You said calmly: "The news of Gu's return should not be exposed, but I can't believe this, Bigan... Gu still believes it! You cooperate with him and pretend to believe that the fake Emperor Xin is true, slowly Let’s see if you can get any useful news from him!”

"Bigan's heart has seven orifices. You are good at capturing the details of the subtleties. If you two work together, you should be able to dig out his true purpose!"

"But..." Wen Zhong frowned slightly: "Are we the only two?"

"Enough."

Hu Dixin You knew that he wanted to bring Shang Rong and Huang Feihu into this plan together, but there were too many people in this plan, so it was not easy to implement it!

He spoke again and made a decision: "Send him a secret letter and ask him to come and meet me as soon as possible. I have something important to discuss with him!"

"Yes, king."

Wen Zhong bowed and responded: "Then you and the Marshal..."

"Live here today, waiting for you tomorrow's news."

"yes."

Wen Zhong immediately bowed his hand to respond, then left the study: "Weichen said he would leave!"

...

…………

Early the next morning.

Hu Dixin You stood in a dark room in the Taishi Mansion, tapping the desk gently with his fingers.

Yunxiao stood behind him, his eyes gazing at the street through the moonlight outside the window.

"Junior brother." Yun Xiao suddenly said, "Have Bigan received our secret letter?"

Hu Dixin You nodded: "It should be soon. Master Wen just arranged for someone to send it to you."

"You said... will Lord Bigan believe us? His erotic heart... can't tell the authenticity of us?"

"I can't see it."

Hu Dixin You's tone was very affirmative: "After all, it's just a delicate orifice, and it's not a real magical power, and I can't see through our disguise."

"After all, people only believe in what they want to see."

"Then you say..."

Yunxiao frowned slightly: "What exactly do those chaotic creatures want to do?"

"It has clearly developed to this point, and I still have to send an Emperor Xin over here. Are you not afraid of Master and Uncle and the others taking action?"

"This matter not only concerns the fate of the Da Shang Dynasty, but also the pattern of the entire prehistoric world." Hu Dixin You whispered: "It is important, so they naturally cannot give up."

Just finished speaking.

Wen Zhong's voice came from the door.

"Master, Bigan is asking for a visit."

"Um."

Hu Dixin You responded calmly and turned to look at Yunxiao.

Needless to say, the latter was already standing beside him, and the two of them recovered from the identity of senior sister and junior brother to the relationship between the marshal and the king.

"Come in."

"yes!"

Wen Zhong and Bi Gan's voices rang outside the door at the same time.

The moment he saw Hu Dixin You, Na Bigan immediately bowed to the ground: "King, you are finally back. I hope you have been so hard!"

"Stop suffering."

Hu Dixin You smiled helplessly, and after replying, he waved his hand: "Sit down, sit down and chat. There are no outsiders in this study today."

"Thank you, the king!" Wen Zhong and Bi Gan responded at the same time, and sat down on both sides.

There was silence in the study room, with only a few dim oil lamps swaying in the wind.

Hu Dixin You sat upright in the main seat, his eyes fell on Bigan, and said, "Bigan, have you had contact with the fake Emperor Xin recently?"

"When you say that, I have been assisting him in the palace in the past few days."

Bigan smiled slightly: "The fake emperor Xin is still a bit too inferior. He is completely inferior to you in handling government affairs!"

"Stop flattering."

Hu Dixin You had no choice but to say that he was wise and powerful in government affairs. He had never dealt with this thing much, okay!

"What do you think of him?"

"At present, I can't tell what purpose he has. I may need guidance from the king!"

Bigan pondered for a moment: "I wonder why the king asked me to come..."

"You and Wen Zhong, go to the palace to see him tomorrow, and tell him that you found the trace of the fake Emperor Xin, and see how he reacts."

"This... How can this be done!"

Before Bigan could speak, Wen Zhong spoke first!

"The king is worth a lot of money. If he is exposed in front of that guy, he will also be exposed to the forces behind him. At that time... I'm afraid he will be in danger."

"It would be strange if they don't know about my existence now."

Hu·Emperor Xin·You said calmly: "Just follow this plan. Tomorrow you will go to find him before the court to see if you can get some information out of him."

"If you can get it out, send a signal to Fairy Yunxiao and take him down directly. If he behaves flawlessly, then don't expose yourself first and come back to report to me."

"Yes." Wen Zhong had to bow his head.

Bi Gan turned his eyes and asked Hu Di Xin You: "Your Majesty, I have an idea. How about you wait for him in the hall tomorrow?"

"You mean..." Hu Di Xin You asked thoughtfully.

"Catch him off guard!"

Bi Gan said softly: "Since those guys already know the existence of the king, it is better to be straightforward and confront them in court. With your presence, the fake will definitely be exposed!"

"At that time, won't it be possible to go with the flow and find out who is behind him!"

Hu Di Xin You looked at Bi Gan and chuckled.

He is indeed a man with a seven-orifice mind.

This strategy seems to be for his sake, but in fact, Bi Gan doesn't believe his performance!

Confrontation in court!

No matter which one is the fake Di Xin, there will be at least one, or even two fake Di Xin options. When facing the people in the court, no matter who it is, don't think about continuing to pretend!

It seems...

This guy is also doubting himself!

Yes, the previous plans had the purpose of reducing the fortune of the Shang Dynasty, so he would naturally have some doubts.

In this case, let him give up!

Hu Di Xin You sat in the main seat of the study in the Tai Shi Mansion, tapping the table with his fingertips.

He could feel Yun Xiao's eyes projected from behind him, as if silently asking whether the next plan was feasible.

"Bigan is right." Wen Zhong said, "It is indeed a good idea to confront in court. If the fake Emperor Xin is really capable, he will definitely reveal his flaws."

Hu Di Xin You turned his head to look at Yun Xiao, and their eyes met, as if conveying some unspoken information. Yun Xiao nodded slightly in agreement.

"Then act according to this plan tomorrow."

Hu Di Xin You stood up, "Bigan, Wen Zhong, you two are responsible for luring the fake Emperor Xin into the trap. Remember, you must not reveal your flaws."

"I understand." Bigan and Wen Zhong responded at the same time.

They both left at the same time.

After leaving the imperial study, the two met in a pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"The king will go to court tomorrow." Wen Zhong said, "The fake Emperor Xin will probably be prepared."

Bigan raised his head and frowned slightly: "The Grand Master is right. I have been in contact with the fake Emperor Xin these days, and I always feel that there is something wrong with him."

Wen Zhong nodded: "Tell me about it."

Bigan smiled slightly: "Although the fake Emperor Xin's performance in government affairs is average, his understanding of the Shang Dynasty is surprisingly profound."

"Oh?" Wen Zhong became interested, "Specifically?"

"When he talked about the rules and regulations of the Shang Dynasty and the teachings of the previous kings, he was even more familiar with it than I am."

Bigan paused, "This makes me feel vaguely... He may not be just pretending."

Wen Zhong pondered for a moment: "Do you think he did it on purpose? Or is there someone behind the scenes directing him?"

Bigan shook his head: "I dare not judge rashly, but one thing is certain - his disguise is extremely good, even those important ministers close to the king did not see the flaws."

"This is difficult."

Wen Zhong sighed softly: "You have the most contact with him, and it may be up to you to break through this layer of shackles."

Bigan nodded thoughtfully: "Don't worry, Taishi, I will meet him today, and I will pay attention to the conversation."

"That's great, remember... Be careful!"

"Don't worry!"

...

...

Lutai.

The imperial study was silent, with only the flame of the oil lamp dancing.

The fake Emperor Xin was sitting in the hall, his eyes fell on the memorial on the table, and in front of him was the humble Bigan.

"My dear."

The fake Emperor Xin raised his head, "The one who pretended to be me is on his way back. Do you think... is it possible that he will rush back to Chaoge first to plot something?"

Bigan was slightly stunned, then lowered his head: "Your Majesty, there is no definite news yet, and I can't judge."

"But..." The fake Emperor Xin's tone became cold, "Why did he choose to come back at this time? Does he want to replace me?"

"Or... there are still his confidants in the palace, so he is sure to replace me."

Bigan's heartbeat quickened slightly.

He could feel the atmosphere in the palace suddenly tense.

"I think..." Bigan said carefully: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so careful, after all, it's just a fake..."

The fake Emperor Xin sneered: "Stop talking nonsense."

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, "You should bring Wen Zhong to see me tomorrow. I want to ask him in person why he hasn't taken the time to send troops to fight the bandits, and what he is waiting for!"

Bigan's face turned pale in an instant: "Yes... I obey your order."

"Remember!"

The fake Emperor Xin's voice was low and dangerous, "If anyone dares to harm me in secret again, I will make you regret it!"

"Yes." Bigan bowed his head and responded.

The fake Emperor Xin's eyes fell on Bigan, as if he wanted to see something from his eyes.

However, Bigan's expression was always calm.

"Back off." The fake Emperor Xin waved his hand, "You and Wen Zhong will come to see me at this time tomorrow."

Bigan immediately bowed and backed off, but he was afraid.

The fake Emperor Xin's eyes were too sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts. I don't know what kind of sparks will collide when the king meets this person tomorrow.

Fortunately!

He...shouldn't have noticed that he was wrong?

At the same time, in the study room of the Grand Master's Mansion.

Hu·Dixin·You sat on the main seat, looking through the window lattice at Chaoge City outside the city.

"Yunxiao." He said softly, "Do you think that Bi Gan will reveal a flaw?"

Yunxiao stood behind him and shook his head slowly: "I can't tell, Bi Gan's mind is indeed meticulous, it shouldn't be."

Hu·Dixin·You nodded: "I will sit on the dragon chair when I go to court tomorrow. It is not convenient for me to take action for the rest. I am afraid that I can only rely on you and Brother Gongming."

"Don't worry!"

Yunxiao raised his hand and patted Hu·Dixin·You's head: "Senior sister, let's not say anything else, as long as the opponent is not a quasi-saint, he is not my opponent!"

"Even if a quasi-saint comes, I am sure I can hold on until the master arrives, so... it's okay!"

"Junior brother, don't worry!"

Hu·Dixin·You smiled bitterly: "Okay!"

Wait until the next morning.

Hu Dixin You stood in front of the window, looking out at Chaoge City.

The first rays of morning sunlight had passed through the battlements on the city wall and sprinkled on the bustling streets in the city.

"My king, it's getting late." Yunxiao reminded softly, "We should go back to the palace."

Hu Dixin You turned to look at Bigan and Wen Zhong: "Are you ready?"

"Ready." Wen Zhong clasped his fists and said, "Everything is up to the king's arrangement."

Hu Dixin You nodded and turned to leave the study.

Yunxiao followed behind, and the two changed into casual clothes again and blended into the streets in the morning light.

They stopped at a teahouse on the street and ordered a pot of tea.

The fragrance of tea rose up, and it seemed particularly peaceful in the morning light.

"Junior brother." Yunxiao whispered, "Do you think Bigan will believe our disguise?"

Hu·Dixin·You took a sip of tea: "He is just a mortal and can't see through our authenticity."

Yunxiao nodded thoughtfully: "What about the fake Emperor Xin? If he knows the Shang Dynasty so thoroughly..."

"That's because he has the guidance of those chaotic creatures behind him."

Hu·Dixin·You put down the teacup, "We just need to expose him, and the rest will be solved naturally."

"Whether he is a fake or... the real Emperor Xin, the result is actually the same!"

After speaking, Yunxiao actually understood the thoughts of his junior brother.

Those who can make him say such words are obviously well prepared!

Half an hour later.

When Hu·Dixin·You took Yunxiao slowly into the hall, the whole court was instantly silent.

He wore a black bird costume that symbolized supreme authority, a crown on his head, his hands behind his back, his eyes downcast, as if he was the king but disdained it.

The ministers were stunned, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Those ministers who usually call the shots seemed to be frozen at this moment, not even daring to breathe. Some people were secretly wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Some people were whispering: "Is this... the fake one? Why is he in court?"

"Something is wrong, this doesn't look fake..."

"Nonsense! Fairy Yunxiao is also beside him, obviously the real one!"

When Hu Dixin You climbed onto the dragon throne, he sat down slowly.

Under his drooping eyelids, his eyes flickered, as if observing everyone's reaction.

He could feel that the heartbeats and breathing of those ministers were accelerating, and even the air became heavy.

"Shaan Hu!"

The eunuch was also stunned, and then he seemed to notice something and spoke immediately!

"Long live the king!"

"Cheers!"

"Long live the king!"

"Cheers again!"

"Long live the king!"

"My dear minister, stand up."

Hu Di Xin You's voice was indifferent and majestic, as if it came from the sky.

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still frightened and thought to themselves: Is this the real Di Xin? Why is Yun Xiao with him?

Just then, an old minister trembled and took a few steps forward: "Your Majesty... I..."

"Withdraw."

Hu Di Xin You interrupted coldly, with a hint of impatience in his voice.

The ministers took a half step back again in fear.

Yun Xiao watched all this silently.

She knew that as long as one person came, the whole court would be turned upside down.
