Yueshen didn't know what the consequences would be if Xinghun met the woman in Ying Prison, and Concubine Yan didn't know either.
The woman in Sakura Prison has abilities, brains, and means, but she has no freedom.
As for Xinghun, he may be a little lacking in all aspects, even his height is seriously unqualified, but as the left guardian of the Yin Yang family, he happens to be one of the freest people in today's mirage.
As long as Donghuang Taiyi doesn't suddenly appear, no one on this ship can interfere with the freedom of Star Soul, not even the Moon God.
Of course, Star Soul cannot interfere with the Moon God.
Due to various reasons, both Moon God and Yan Fei would maintain restraint when facing the woman in Ying Prison, but the same could not be said for Xinghun.
He has no scruples, he just wants to achieve his goals and gain maximum benefits.
The most important thing is that Xinghun's brain is up and down, and is completely uncontrollable. No one can tell what kind of madness he will have if he gets addicted - he is truly mad, on the physical level.
It would definitely not be appropriate to allow Xinghun to meet that woman in Ying Prison. Concubine Yan thought for a moment, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said in a cold tone:
"Get rid of him."
Luna's eyes flickered behind her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional in her heart.
Concubine Yan used to have a strong and tough personality, but now that she has followed Gu Xun, her methods have become simpler and more crude.
When a problem arises, we immediately consider solving it from the root—the person who created the problem.
If possible, Moon God would be happy to see Xinghun dog lead, but the problem is that it is not allowed.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Moon God can fight openly and covertly with Star Soul, and even fight, but he must not kill him, otherwise neither of them will be able to explain to the superiors.
Neither the emperor nor Donghuang Taiyi could explain it.
Especially not long after, Ying Zheng will visit Songhai in person. If one of the two great protectors of the Yin Yang family is suddenly missing, it will be even harder to fool him in front of the emperor.
so……
"He can't die." Luna responded simply. In order to prevent Concubine Yan from not listening to her advice, she added another piece of advice, "If he dies, the emperor will have no way to explain it. Even Gu Xun will get into trouble."
Concubine Yan frowned slightly, but she did not insist on killing him. She quickly changed her words and said, "Then cripple him so that he can't do anything."
Concubine Yan's thinking has not changed, but the degree of her methods has been relaxed, from solving the problem-creating person to making the problem-creating person temporarily unable to create problems.
If killing the Star Soul would have too much impact, then injure the Star Soul instead. Anyway, it would be enough to make him lose the ability to become a monster.
Of course, there are problems with injuring the Star Soul, but it is much smaller and easier to fool.
Regarding this new plan, Luna fell into thinking.
She didn't dare to kill Star Soul, and she couldn't kill him, but injuring him... seemed feasible.
This solution is suitable, but not easy to implement.
Death is a definite state, and there are only two possible states of death or aliveness.
Injury is an uncertain state. A cut on the hand is an injury, a broken leg is an injury, and dying suddenly at any time while hanging on the breath is also an injury.
In order to achieve the effect that Concubine Yan wanted, the extent of Star Soul's injury was very subtle.
We can't let his injuries be so severe that he will die accidentally, nor can we let his injuries recover easily.
So to what extent?
The requirements are very clear, but how to operate is difficult to grasp.
"This is difficult to handle." Moon God calmly replied, "Star Soul's strength is not weak, and... his ability to gather energy to form a blade is uncontrollable."
Star Soul is a person who can go crazy physically. He will go crazy when his emotions are unstable, and he will also go crazy when his exercise skills are excessive. A crazy Star Soul will be particularly difficult to deal with.
This does not mean that Xinghun will go crazy as long as he cannot be defeated. As long as he can be dealt with decisively and swiftly, he will naturally not wait until he falls into a state of madness.
When Tianming injured Xinghun before, he never experienced the stage of going insane.
But if you follow Concubine Yan's strategy and accurately control the extent of Star Soul's injuries, it will be easy to face this situation.
And this situation will in turn interfere with the implementation of the plan - it is difficult to stay away from people who are experiencing madness.
"You think it's not feasible?" Concubine Yan put her hands in front of her and asked.
Luna was silent for a moment and then replied, "If there is a deviation, the consequences will not be easy to deal with."
Taking action is the most direct and convenient method. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Convenience is convenience, and it will be very troublesome if it fails.
If Xinghun's injury is not serious enough, he will inevitably be on high alert, and his next behavior will be even more uncontrollable, and it is difficult to estimate what impact he will have.
If the injury is too serious...then go back to the first version of the plan.
Concubine Yan did not refute Luna's concerns, but asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I think..." Yue Shen pondered for a moment before replying, "Maybe we should start with that woman first. Xinghun is not an easy person to deal with."
The difficulty of dealing with the Star Soul in Moon Mythology does not refer to the opponent's strength or ability, but to the opponent's identity.
As the left guardian of the Yin-Yang family and one of the giants of the Yin-Yang family who is on the same level as the Moon God, many methods cannot be used on him.
But for the woman in Sakura Prison who theoretically does not exist in the mirage, you can be much more flexible.
From this perspective, Luna's proposal is very reasonable and is entirely intended to solve the problems they are facing now.
But Concubine Yan knew her sister so well that once she heard it, she knew that her real purpose was not Star Soul at all, but that woman!
"It seems that this is your real purpose."
Luna sighed secretly in her heart, knowing that she still hadn't hid it from this sister, but she originally had too much hope, so she responded with a normal expression:
"This is the best option."
Concubine Yan looked at her sister and let out a soft hum of unknown meaning. She didn't say a word to Yue Shen's words and asked instead, "How do you want to use that woman?"
"This needs your help." Luna responded.
This is also the reason why she must see Concubine Yan.
To the woman in Sakura Prison, she is different from Xinghun.
She may cooperate with Xinghun, because Xinghun doesn't know enough and is more suitable to take advantage of.
But Luna is different. She knows the woman in Sakura Prison far better than Xinghun, so for that woman, Luna is not a suitable partner for cooperation or use.
No matter what Luna wants to do, the prerequisite is that the woman responds, otherwise she can't do anything.
Luna didn't have many ways to target that woman and get her to speak, because Luna knew her, but not enough.
In comparison, Concubine Yan has more means, or in other words, she knows more.
Concubine Yan knew more about that woman, her daughter, and other aspects. No matter what Luna wanted to do, she needed Concubine Yan's cooperation.
Concubine Yan closed her eyes, thought for a moment, then opened her eyes and replied, "I have no reason or need to help you in this matter."
Faced with Concubine Yan's seemingly rejecting answer, Yue Shen didn't take it seriously and replied calmly, "I don't know what you want to do, but you need that woman and you need that child."
"Isn't it?"
The reason why Luna made this judgment is simple - Concubine Yan did not directly kill the woman in Ying Prison.
Concubine Yan took Qianlong to stay in the mirage. No matter what the specific purpose was, it was inseparable from Canglong Qisu.
With Concubine Yan's character, since she wants to get her hands on Canglong Qisu, she will definitely choose to kill the woman in Ying Prison directly - Concubine Yan will obviously not show mercy to a substitute.
But she didn't kill him, and the strange changes in the Toad Palace made the moon god make this judgment.
This is indeed true.
Concubine Yan did not try to hide this. After thinking for a while, she asked, "What can you do?"
The Moon God needs Concubine Yan's assistance, and Concubine Yan does have some needs, so Concubine Yan can cooperate with the Moon God.
But Moon God must be able to provide some benefits to Concubine Yan, otherwise why should she assist Moon God?
Is it because the two sisters have a deep love for each other?
Faced with Concubine Yan's request, Yue Shen expected it and calmly replied:
"When you're in a mirage, you can't do whatever you want."
"I'll give you the boost you need."
This is not a specific benefit, but it is indeed useful to Concubine Yan.
As long as the moon god doesn't break her promise, Concubine Yan will get a lot of convenience.
Concubine Yan did not reject Moon God's promise, and turned around and walked directly outside the Moon God's palace:
"Let's go."
"What are you going to do?" Moon God followed Concubine Yan and asked at the same time.
"Start with that child." Concubine Yan replied without looking back.
"Do you think it's useful?" Luna asked.
Generally speaking, using a child to deal with a mother will definitely work.
But as the saying goes, the difference between people may be greater than the difference between people and pigs.
So it doesn't work for all mothers.
In Luna's opinion, the woman in Sakura Prison just doesn't accept this trick - she can make this judgment because she has tried it herself.
Concubine Yan didn't know whether she had guessed that Luna had done this, or she had known it for a long time. She replied with a smile, "Your method is wrong, so it doesn't work."
Luna's brows twitched, and her strong character showed up. She was quite unhappy, but she didn't say anything. She just murmured to herself to see what Concubine Yan could do.
What can Concubine Yan do?
In fact, it is not a question of means, but a question of usage.
The girl in Toad Palace cannot be used to coerce the woman in Sakura Prison. This is not only because the woman does not care, but also because she is confident and feels that no one really dares to attack the child.
So regarding that girl, we need to use it in a different way, not as a direct tool, but indirectly, using Canglong Qisu as the real core.
In the final analysis, that girl is just a part of Canglong Qisu.
………………
A few days later.
The Eastern Patrol Team embarked on the journey again, heading towards Mount Tai.
Mount Tai is very close to Mount Yi. Even at the speed of the convoy, it only takes two days at most.
During the past few days when the motorcade was parked, Xue Jun fell into unprecedented chaos and unprecedented calm.
The chaos stems from the massive manhunt by the imperial officers and soldiers - except for disturbing the people, there is basically no achievement, but this process is essential.
This also reflects the further collapse of the imperial censor system.
The duty of the censor is to supervise and supervise the local government, but the local government's complete manipulation of things shows that the censor is either unable to supervise the local government or has no intention to supervise the local government.
In short, it is useless - and this is even when Ying Zheng himself is in Xue County.
The degree of erosion in other areas is evident.
The calm comes from the silence of the anti-Qin forces.
They all tried their best to hide, and basically did not allow the empire to catch anything.
However, beneath the chaos and calm, there is a huge undercurrent hidden.
Whether inside the team or outside the team, there is a large amount of information being transmitted and exchanged between different forces and different individuals.
Especially Confucianism, who was directly involved in this assassination case.
Although the emperor did not have any order to hold Confucianists accountable, only those with normal brain function know that this matter will not be overturned so easily.
Of course, there are many people who think there will be no big problem.
After all, even if you are sitting down, you have to have something to do with it. You can't implicate all Confucian disciples just because some Confucian people are involved in assassination.
The Mohist giants took the lead in resisting the empire, and the entire school was labeled as rebels, and the imperial court did not see all Mohist scholars liquidated.
So the public view...to be precise, the common view within Confucianism is that this matter will be picked up high and put down gently.
Confucian scholars, who had been noisy to begin with, not only did not calm down, but became even more noisy and their attitudes became more radical.
Fu Nian has not been idle these days. He has met with other Confucian scholars and met with Ying Zheng.
Regardless of what he said when he went to see Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng was willing to see him again and again, which meant that there was no major problem in the communication between the two parties.
His meetings with other Confucian scholars were not so harmonious.
Fu Nian, as the head of Xiaoshengxian Village and the theoretical face of Confucianism, has been trying to calm the storm, persuading the various Confucian factions to exercise restraint and stop attacking each other, let alone continue to oppose the empire.
Unfortunately, no one accepted his advice.
Those with a better temperament would in turn persuade Fu Nian that he should not just submit to the imperial court.
If you have a bad temper, you will scold them directly.
Although Confucian scholars all pay attention to the style of a gentleman, they are not incapable of talking nonsense.
On the contrary, when they curse people, it is really unpleasant.
Fu Nian didn't care about this.
He doesn't care about some infamy.
He doesn't care if Confucian people don't listen to advice.
His most fundamental purpose is just to express his attitude and the position of Xiaoshengxian Village.
As for people from other Confucian sects... Fu Nian never felt that he could really persuade them.
Of course, Fu Nian's persuasion was not perfunctory, it was all genuine words from the bottom of his heart and his true thoughts.
But the other party didn't listen, and he had nothing to do.
Fu Nian cannot force this kind of thing, because the future is unpredictable, and Fu Nian cannot say that he is 100% correct.
Moreover, as a Confucian disciple, the meaning of the word "correct" is often completely different for different people.
Ying Zheng did not react at all to all the overt turbulence and secret turbulence that occurred inside and outside the convoy, in Xue County, and even in the entire Qilu area.
He seemed to be completely unaware of it, ignoring all the commotion and just heading towards Mount Tai step by step.
Ying Zheng's calmness caused some people to have misunderstandings, and also made some people fall into confusion.
Not knowing the emperor's condition is a dangerous sign to many people.
