Chapter Thirty-Fifth Fifth Gentle

  Chu Yang followed and walked in. Only then did he discover that there was a small stone platform inside, smooth and mirror-like. It seemed to have been made into a stool. Apparently, someone often came here to sit for a while.

  As expected, Wu Yunliang swept his sleeve and sat down on top of it, raising his head to look at Chu Yang, carefully sizing him up. A faint smile played on the corners of his mouth, giving off a somewhat familiar air.

  "You're not bad." Yu Yunliang's first sentence was like this.

  "Those three people are from the Golden Horse Knights Hall of the Great Zhao Dynasty. And the Golden Horse Knights Hall is an absolutely secret institution that only belongs to the current Prime Minister, Fifth Lightness!" Wu Yunliang didn't wait for Chu Yang to finish speaking and started explaining from the second sentence.

  "Golden Horse Riders' Hall, Fifth Gentleman..." Chu Yang was lost in thought; these two names were also famous in his previous life, like thunder piercing the ear!

  Jinma Riders' Hall, in fact, is the secret weapon of the Great Zhao court. (Hmm, no more explanation here, you can imagine the East Factory and Brocade Guard of the Ming Dynasty; basically similar. The more explanations, the more nonsense.)

  The name "Light and Gentle" may sound gentle, but he is actually a heroic figure of great talent! According to legend, this person does not understand martial arts, but at the age of three, he entered school, at five, he was a child prodigy, and by thirteen, his literary talents shook the world. At sixteen, he became an official for the first time, managing a prefecture with great order; by twenty, he had already become the Eastern Touring Inspector of the entire Zhao Empire.

  At the age of twenty-five, he formally took charge of the Imperial Cabinet, patrolling the entire Great Zhao Empire. At thirty years old, he ascended to the position of Prime Minister. This year, not yet thirty-five years old, he is already the most powerful person in the imperial court, with a single word capable of summoning wind and rain, commanding all officials and scholars, and issuing orders to the entire world!

  Such an achievement, one in a thousand years!

  Historically, civil officials and military generals have always been at odds with each other. However, this fifth prime minister was able to bring both the civil and military ministers under his control. This is because he not only had the ability to govern but also had ambitions to expand the territory!

  Unifying the world is the greatest dream of the fifth gentle!

  In the previous life, the name of Fifth Softness was a shadow that loomed over the entire Lower Three Heavens Continent! It seemed as though there wasn't a single plot in the world that didn't have the shadow and influence of this Fifth Softness!

  It was under the fifth gentle design, secretly planned and implemented by Jinma Qidong, that Taizi Tie Butian, who was considered to be the next brilliant ruler of Tiejyun Country, was assassinated. The Iron Cavalry of Great Zhao Empire then exterminated Tiejyun. For a time, their momentum was like the sun at noon, and they took advantage of the remaining prestige to swallow up Wuji Country in one fell swoop, occupying the absolute dominant position in the entire lower three heavens!

  The fifth gentle is the most powerful because he not only uses the power of the political arena, but also utilizes the powers of various major sects in Jianghu, creating chaos or alliances through their conflicting interests and relationships, making them unintentionally help Da Zhao complete many things that the imperial court cannot or finds inconvenient to do.

  Moreover, the most frightening thing is that afterwards, no one noticed anything was amiss. If he hadn't spoken out himself, perhaps all the major sects would still be in the dark!

  Before Chu Yang left to search for the Nine Tribulations Sword, the Iron Riders of the Great Zhao Empire had already destroyed Tieyun and Wuji, and began their eastern and western campaigns, gradually expanding their territory. The name of the Golden Horse Riders' Hall was made famous throughout the world because they had destroyed these two countries.

  Wu Yun Liang naturally didn't know that Chu Yang had already known about these things, so he explained to him what the Golden Horse Riders' Hall was.

  "I just want to know, why didn't you stop him?" Chu Yang furrowed his brow.

  "Why should I stop?" Wu Yunliang smiled.

  "Huh?"

  "These years, I've been accompanying Lao Er, getting up at dawn to practice in that place." Wu Yunliang sneered with a smile: "Although he doesn't know. But since they started contacting five years ago, I've been clear about everything."

  Chu Yang was startled. Looking at Wu Yunliang's and Wei Wenyi's stern faces, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

  In the previous life, because the sect was destroyed and Chu Yang had no contact with this sect master, he also looked down on him in his heart. A sect master who was destroyed by his own sect? What's the use of such a sect master?

  But it was only then that he realized that the master of Wuyun Liang, was actually a profound and cunning person. Whoever thought he was a fool would be the real fool!

  Actually, thinking about it, which of those who can be a leader is a thrifty lamp?

  But Wu Yunliang was able to tolerate a conspiracy existing and developing under his nose for five years!

  Why?

  Chu Yang looked at Wu Yun's calm and steady face, and suddenly had an epiphany.

  "The first step is to stir up internal strife within the Tianwai Building; when I took over the Tianwai Building, my fellow disciples were already dissatisfied, and the seniors of the sect at that time also had their own factions... It was already a hotbed of internal troubles. It must go through a purge before it can grow stronger." Wu Yunliang said calmly: "So I tolerate him doing this. If he fails, then he will be destroyed, there's nothing to say."

  "It wasn't until the second year that their true intentions gradually emerged. That is, to take advantage of the demoted status of the Tianwai Building's sect and stir up a great war between Zhao and Tiangong, thereby swallowing Tiangong at the smallest cost and preserving their strength to unify the world."

  "How is this possible?" Chu Yang exclaimed: "Even if the Tianwai Building is strong, it's just a sect, what kind of ability can trigger a war between two countries?"

  "There's nothing impossible in this world, it's just a matter of whether you want to do it or how you do it." Wu Yun smiled coldly.

  "Huh, Master Shibo, why are you telling me all this today? It seems like we're meeting for the first time today, aren't we?" Chu Yang felt more and more uneasy as he listened, as if he had walked into a quagmire of conspiracy and was sinking deeper and deeper, unable to pull his feet out.

  "Wait a minute, I have my reasons for telling you this. Sit down." Wu Yunliang's eyes narrowed slightly.

  Chu Yang helplessly rolled his eyes, and simply moved a stone over himself to sit on. Whether it was intentional or not, the stone he moved over was actually much higher than the one Wu Yun had cooled down earlier.

  Originally he was standing, Wu Yun was sitting; there was a condescending tone in it. But now that he sat down, he was about the same height as when he was standing, but somehow the form had changed to looking down on him.

  The master unexpectedly sat below him, this situation was simply transformed from a lecture into a report.

  Wu Yun's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he gazed at him with a seemingly amused yet not quite smiling expression. Surprisingly, he completely ignored his rudeness and continued speaking.

  Chu Yang smiled bitterly in his heart. As long as Wu Yunliang said a single word of dissatisfaction, he could immediately retreat and leave this whirlpool behind. But that guy didn't say anything.

  Curiosity kills the cat.

  Chu Yang regretted it. You said I'm idle and have nothing to do, so why bother chasing those three people? Isn't this just looking for a rope to hang myself...

  "The Iron Cloud Crown Prince, Tie Bu Tian, is only 17 or 18 years old, but he has great talent and a broad vision. He also attaches great importance to the power of the common people outside the imperial court, especially the power of brave warriors. He personally established the Bu Tian Pavilion, which gathers all the heroes from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks! This person is courteous and humble, with both the aura of dominating the world and the magnanimity to tolerate others. He is an invaluable young leader! The Iron Cloud King, Tie Shi Cheng, has been bedridden for years, and the country relies on Tie Bu Tian to hold it up. Although he has not ascended to the throne, in reality, he is already the master of Iron Cloud and the spiritual pillar of the Iron Cloud army!"

  "It can be said that with Tie Butian's death, Iron Cloud Nation will collapse!"

  Chu Yang listlessly responded with an "uh-huh".

  What's the use of being young and formidable? In a few more years, won't you also be killed by others? The country will also be destroyed. Chu Yang still remembered that in his previous life, the death of Iron Cloud Crown Prince was because Great Zhao mobilized more than 500 top experts and hired several assassination organizations to take action together, only then did they finally succeed. But afterwards, none of these people survived!

  At that time, this matter shocked the world. After the event, the revenge of the Iron Cloud Kingdom was also cruel to the extreme. In the four states and counties on the border of Great Zhao, tens of thousands of people were left with no chickens or dogs! From this, we can see the prestige of this Prince of Iron Cloud...
