Chapter 936 Continue the investigation
Everyone in the world is thinking about a question. Zong Xin worked hard for several years, but in addition to helping Guo Wei, he also supported Zhao Kuangyin. In the end, even before he died, he helped Zhao Kuangyin regain Zhao Kuangyin. Valve, died together with Zhao Jing.

Zong Xin has suffered too much. He has worked hard all his life, but in the end he is marrying someone else.Now that Zong Xin is dead, he has fattened up a Zhao Kuangyin.Zhao Kuangyin was the one who took advantage the most. Although his success was somewhat tortuous, he was the final winner.

Part of it is another way of thinking. It is not Zong Xin who is really thinking about Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Jing.After Zhao Jing sacrificed his life to kill Zong Xin, Zhao Kuangyin's light immediately overshadowed the dead Zong Xin, and only Zong Xin's death could reflect Zhao Kuangyin's strength.

Zhao Jing did it, he successfully killed Zong Xin, he exchanged his own life for the fact that his grandson dominated the martial arts world, now no one dares to provoke Zhao Kuangyin, although he is far less afraid of Zhao Kuangyin than Zong Xin, But he is also a rare genius, maybe it won't be long before Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts can catch up with Bu Xiangyang and Yeluzhen.

Some people also questioned this conjecture. Zhao Kuangyin's current cultivation level may not be as good as Zhao Kuangji's. Why did Zhao Jing risk the lives of both his grandfather and grandson to kill Zong Xin, leaving only Zhao Kuangyin behind?Moreover, this matter has actually spread. Zhao Jing didn't seek Zong Xin's troubles for Zhao Kuangyin's sake. He clearly wanted to seek Zong Xin's secret to restore 20 years of youth.

As for what is this secret?Bu Xiangyang and Du Wushuang have not made it public, but these two have also regained their youth, which makes many old masters fall in love with them, but Bu Xiangyang is absolutely unaffected, and the Zhao Clan at this time is also very offensive. From the beginning, because Zhao Kuangyin holds the power of soldiers and horses in the world, although Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts is not as good as Bu Xiangyang, he is more dangerous than Bu Xiangyang, but he is not as good as the dead Zong Xin.

"Forget it, don't mention Zong Xin again, I'm upset." Zhao Kuangyin said, "When will the Song Clan's reinforcements arrive?"

"It will be there in a few days, don't worry about that. What Song promised will be done. From now on, the Song clan will be yours, and I will just manage it on your behalf. The Song clan's financial and human resources are entirely yours. I will obey any decision you make." The conditions Song Yan offered to Zhao Kuangyin were too high, and the current Song clan was also very useful to Zhao Kuangyin.

The support of the Song Dynasty directly expanded Zhao Kuangyin's sphere of influence to the entire western part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, while various forces in Yandao controlled the southern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now Zhao Kuangyin's forces are in the east. Except for the fact that he has no sphere of influence in the north, Zhao Kuangyin almost controls the entire Great week.

This is not like the Dugu Clan. In fact, the position of the Dugu Clan is in the north of Dazhou. If the Dugu Clan continues to develop, it can discuss cooperation with Zhao Kuangyin. Then the entire Dazhou is in Zhao Kuangyin's sphere of influence, and even Chai Rong is Don't dare to embarrass him, as long as Zhao Kuangyin gives an order, he may seek to usurp the throne at any time.

Of course, this is only the sphere of influence on the surface, and there may not be so many people who will really follow Zhao Kuangyin, but as long as the military power is in his hands, Zhao Kuangyin has nothing to fear.But both Guo Wei and Chai Rong have done a good job in this aspect. Unless it is related to the life and death of the country, military power will not be under the control of a certain person.

In this situation, it would be okay even if the military power was handed over to Zhao Kuangyin, because he had to fight against the strength of the Tang Dynasty and could not turn around and attack Kaifeng.What's more, Chai Rong has always done it himself. Even though Zhao Kuangyin is the supreme commander, Chai Rong has always been in the barracks. In fact, the real decision-making power is still in Chai Rong's hands.

Doesn't Chai Rong have any insight into Zhao Kuangyin's power?Of course not, but Chai Rong didn't care at all, because he knew that Zhao Kuangyin would not usurp his country. Zong Xin once said how long he had left to live, and that his country would not be lost before he died. Zhao Kuangyin himself also Very clear, so he can trust Zhao Kuangyin, because Zhao Kuangyin will not be stupid and ignore Zong Xin's criticism.

Although Chai Rong hated Zong Xin, he had great trust in Zong Xin.So far, everyone in the Guo family has been the same, trusting Zong Xin without any reason, because Zong Xin has created too many miracles that they cannot understand.

Besides Zong Xin, Chai Rong trusted Zhao Kuangyin the most.Because Zhao Kuangyin is willing to break with Zongxin, who is almost a god, and the person who killed Zongxin was also Zhao Kuangyin's grandfather. The most important point is that Zhao Kuangyin is a smart person. All forces are being checked and balanced by Chai Rong, if he dares to act rashly, he will definitely die.

Of course, there is a reason why Chai Rong trusts Zhao Kuangyin so much. Chai Rong is a very delicate person, and he has already confirmed Zhao Kuangyin's private actions.

Zhao Kuangyin's performance has indeed won Chai Rong's trust. Almost all of his money was used to support this war, and after he took over the Zhao Clan, he did not let the Zhao Clan's troops idle, but put all of them on the front line, even including the newly recruited The Song clan also sent troops to reinforce them.

Even though Zhao Kuangyin had the power of the Zhao clan and the Song clan, he did not take it for himself, but contributed all of it.Such a stingy person named Zhao was willing to spend all his money on military expenses and purchasing war supplies. Although he still left some money to improve his quality of life, it was also because of this that Chai Rong trusted Zhao Kuangyin even more. , but makes people suspicious.

Chai Rong has completely trusted Zhao Kuangyin, and he has no intention of rebelling.Moreover, it would be very beneficial for Chai Rong if his power increased. At least Chai Rong himself could check and balance all Zhao Kuangyin's actions. What's more, as long as he had Fu Yanqing's support, Zhao Kuangyin would never rebel, because the result of the rebellion It was Yeluzhen's army that entered, and the Central Plains fell completely.

………………

Zong Xin's family drank with Lei Hong in the secret room of King Lei's Mansion. At this time, Lei Tianxiao looked younger than before because he also drank Qilin blood.

At this time, Lei Hong still had three drops of unicorn blood left. Fan Zhi was so busy that Lei Fang had no time to go home for dinner during the Spring Festival. Lei Hong was very upset about this. Lei Hong didn't care at all, he just wanted to have a reunion dinner with his daughter.

Lei Tianxin was still the emperor of Yandao, so he didn't have time to go back to King Lei's mansion.Lei Hong was worried about handing over the Qilin blood to others, but Lei Hong himself didn't bother to make this trip, and he would know when he would come back when he was free.Anyway, you can eat this anytime.

Lei Hailong is too young, and Lei Hong also plans to wait for Xiaolong to grow up and give him the unicorn blood as an adult gift.This also saves a gift... Of course Lei Hong is not stingy. It is not clear what effect this food will have if he eats it. What if Lei Hailong keeps looking the same age?It would be safer to wait until his body grows up to give him.

Lei Hong said: "It's rare that both sons came home today. Tianxiao, what are you doing lately? I really admire you. Tianyong is used to going out and wandering. I can understand that he doesn't want to stay home. After all, God Yong already has three beautiful wives, and I don't worry about where he goes. Tianxiao, what's the matter with you? Either you don't come home, or you live at home for several years... When you are not at home, I think, you I was annoying when I was at home, can you sum it up a little bit?"

Lei Tianxiao said depressedly: "I am investigating a very important matter. Tianyong also knows about this matter, and the biggest clue was given to me by Tianyong. If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the world will be in trouble. "

"What does the world have to do with my Lei Wangfu?" Lei Hong said: "Whether it is Chai Rong or Li Jing who won the world, none of them dare to provoke me, and they even dare not come to Chang'an."

Lei Tianxiao said: "Dad, what if it's someone else? Someone whose martial arts is higher than you and Bu Xiangyang combined?"

"How can there be such a person in the world?"

"Really." Lei Tianxiao's face suddenly darkened, and then he said: "This person's name is Wang Ran, his skill is no less than that of Bu Xiangyang, and he is still improving. Of course, this is just my guess , but I think this person's affairs cannot be ignored. His recent behavior is very strange. I feel that he is suspected of usurping the throne. If Wang Ran succeeds in usurping the throne, I am afraid that he may really unify the world. Even if the government is not an opponent, he will definitely target it."

Lei Hong had heard of the name Wang Ran, and Zong Xin also clearly said that this person's skill might be higher than his.But it would be strange if he couldn't even defeat Bu Xiangyang...

Lei Hong would not doubt Zong Xin's judgment, but he still thought that such a thing was unlikely.Before that, he had never heard of the name Wang Ran at all. A top expert turned out to be born?This kind of thing is very strange in the first place, where was Wang Ran born?

"Genius, have you been investigating Wang Ran's affairs recently?"

Lei Tianxiao shook his head and said, "Not exactly, but I feel that Wang Ran is very close to Wang Benkun, the leader of the royal family. I don't know what the relationship between the two is. Maybe it's because they both have the surname Wang. I'm investigating Wang Ran At the same time, Ran also investigated the Wang Clan and the Southern Tang royal family a little bit. There are not many recent movements. The only thing worth mentioning is that during the preparations for the war, the Southern Tang Prince Li Congji sneaked into the Dugu Clan. What they want should be It was shochu, but my younger brother set fire to the entire distillery, and Li Congji returned to Southern Tang in disgrace. Other than that, there was not much movement. But... when I was monitoring Wang Ran , I feel more and more dangerous, I don't plan to go anymore, I'm afraid that if I go again, Wang Ran will sense my existence and kill me."

Zong Xin asked curiously, "Brother, at what distance did you monitor Wang Ran?"

"It's at least 200 meters away. I'm using a treasure. I don't know when I got it. Anyway, this treasure can let me see things far away." Lei Tianxiao took out a monocular, Zong Xin recognized it at a glance, because this kind of shape must be a telescope, and the function described by Lei Tianxiao is the same.

Unexpectedly, there was a telescope so early. I guess I bought it from a merchant from the Western Regions or a Persian merchant.
