"Shuai Lu! He will definitely take Batu to find the right prime minister!
The right minister is loyal to the old emperor. If the right minister takes Batu to find the young master of the Jiang tribe, then this is just a wrong guess. If the young master of the Jiang tribe happens to leave, then it means it is true!"
Changsun Jing is not stupid. He was able to develop his skills from a beggar, and his wisdom is beyond ordinary people!
At this time, Lin Xiao had helped him figure out the old emperor's chess game, and he naturally understood how to verify whether it was true. He also understood why Lin Xiao told him not to continue to stand out and just follow Lu Shuai as a spectator.
Moreover, Changsun Jing also drew inferences from one instance:
"It seems that the young master of the Jiang clan did not come to defect to the prince, but had already defected to the old emperor!"
At this time, he had no respect for the old emperor. He was a member of the world, and the old emperor was obviously full of malice towards people in the world. Naturally, it was impossible not to feel disgusted.
Lin Xiao sneered and nodded:
"Yes, but it's a pity that I thought I was hiding behind the scenes, but I forgot the human heart!
The old emperor pretended to be comatose, thinking that he could see the true faces of many people, and even several princes, and maybe he wanted to take back power from the prince because the prince had made a mistake!
But I forgot that when the fake is true, the truth is also false!
Since he is in a coma and is about to die, his son will also find ways to make him coma or even die in order to ascend to the throne!"
Changsun Jing felt a chill in his heart when he heard this and said in a low voice:
"Is this the so-called ruthlessness of the Tian family?"
Then he looked up at Lin Xiao and smiled bitterly:
"Zimo, is this why you didn't take the imperial examination and become an official despite being full of knowledge? It seems that I am dragging you down this time!"
Lin Xiao waved his hand and said:
"That's not true. In fact, even if you don't pull me, I will still get involved. Although I don't want to be powerful in the court, I also want to take a further step in Confucianism and Taoism, and have students all over the world.
I want to establish an institution where everyone, regardless of wealth or status, can enroll, and this requires the help of some imperial power!"
Changsun Jing said worriedly:
"But if you don't have the strength..."
Lin Xiao smiled confidently:
"You have forgotten that the right prime minister's strength is not weaker than that of any great master! It's all about cultivation. Jianghu people have their own training methods, and scholars will naturally have their own training methods!"
Changsun Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this and said:
"Although you are not well-known, I know that your knowledge is as good as that of a great scholar. It seems that your strength is no longer the same. No wonder you can set up such a formation in your courtyard!"
Lin Xiao showed a somewhat proud smile and said:
"That is, in the final analysis, spiritual practice is still about the understanding of the world, and the book is the understanding of the world, life, temples, and rivers and lakes by the predecessors!
Once these insights are understood in your heart, your strength will naturally increase!"
Changsun Jing suddenly became excited and said:
"Then let's compete and test your strength!"
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and said:
"This is Commander Lu's residence. If we fight against each other, we will not only expose our own background, but also disrupt the defense here. Let's talk about it next time!"
Changsun Jing looked disappointed, while Lin Xiao looked straight:
"But I suggest you go back and practice basic sword skills again. Tall buildings rise from the ground. Only with a solid foundation can you achieve higher achievements!"
Changsun Jing heard the words and said thoughtfully: "I once looked for entry-level sword manuals, but I found that none of them are as strong as my blood-killing sword skills..."
Lin Xiao shook his head and said:
"Look!"
As he spoke, his right palm turned into a sword and slashed towards Changsun Jing. Lin Xiao's figure suddenly seemed to be enlarged countless times. The shadows of five huge white tigers emerged. Terrifying and domineering pressure came towards him, and his domineering momentum was direct.
Changsun Jing was suppressed in place, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the tiger's claws fell.
"Do you feel it?"
Lin Xiao's voice rang in Changsun Jing's ears.
"Huh~~~ What a terrifying sword force, as if the heaven and earth were pressing down on me!"
Changsun Jing looked like he was surviving the disaster. Even if he believed that Lin Xiao would not hurt him, he seemed to be on the edge of death just now.
Lin Xiao smiled and said:
"What I use is not a powerful sword technique, but the most common sword technique that can be bought for two cents on the roadside, the Five Tiger Door-breaking Knife."
"Any sword technique in the world contains the wisdom of the creator, and if a practitioner gets his own insights from it and creates his own path through innovation, then it will be the sword technique that is most suitable for him!
If you want to achieve this level, a solid foundation is a must. Otherwise, if you don't even understand the basic changes in sword techniques, how can you create a sword technique that is truly suitable for you? If you rely solely on actual combat, there will be too many flaws and it will be very difficult.
It’s easy to die in battle!”
Changsun Jing nodded in understanding, then reacted, stared at Lin Xiao for a long time and said:
"I didn't expect that your strength has reached such a level. You are no longer weaker than the 'Shocking Sword' Xiao Meng, or even some master-level masters!"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said confidently:
"That's natural. When I break through another level, even the Grand Master will not be my opponent. This is why I am confident in establishing a transcendent school!"
Chang Sun Jing suddenly said:
"No wonder you want to participate in this matter, have some connections with the new emperor, and establish a school with his support. In this way, even if the new emperor is afraid, he will not slap himself in the face!
If you were to suddenly appear and establish a school that transcends imperial power, you would be directly opposed to the royal family!"
Then he suddenly sighed and said:
"Fortunately, you care about the world and chose to build a school to give ordinary people in the world a chance. If you become a demon, I'm afraid you will become a demon king again!"
Lin Xiao smiled and said:
"Then you must keep an eye on me and prevent me from becoming possessed! How about you come to my school after this incident is over?"
Changsun Jing raised his head and said:
"Then I won't be your student!"
"That's natural. You can also be a teacher in the school. I just don't know what you plan to teach the students?"
Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly, waiting to see Chang Sun Jing's joke.
"I...I teach..."
"It can't be about teaching swordsmanship. Our school is a place for studying, and your swordsmanship is also..."
Changsun Jing suddenly lowered his head, then raised it again and said righteously:
"Huh, the matter in the capital is not over yet. Where can I find the time to think about the future? We should first make preparations to escort Lu Shuai to meet the Right Prime Minister tomorrow!"
·······
"Senior Brother Huaikong, I wonder what you have in mind?"
After returning to the room from the lobby, Meng Qi couldn't wait to ask Shang Yi.
As for Meng Qi's two teammates, as in the original work, one somehow gained the trust of the third prince, while the other chose to believe in Meng Qi, or rather believed in Shang Yi, the number one person on the list, and followed Meng Qi to Lu Shuai
Mansion.
Listening to Meng Qi's inquiry, Shang Yi smiled and said:
"After I came to the capital, I observed the situation in the imperial city with my clairvoyance. The dragon energy was in full swing. Obviously, His Majesty was not unconscious. He probably wanted to use this to see clearly the character of the princes!"
Meng Qi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he exclaimed:
"The emperor is not unconscious? Then why did he spend so much time planning? Now that the Westerners are invading the east, the masters of the Demon Sect have also flooded into the capital because of the Demon Lord's treasure. If we continue to let it go like this, I'm afraid..."
Suddenly, Meng Qi's words stopped abruptly, his pupils suddenly tightened, he looked at Shang Yi and said:
"The old emperor's goal is the Grand Master!?"
Ruan Yushu and Ge Huaien also raised their heads in shock and looked at Shang Yi and Meng Qi.
Shang Yi sneered and nodded:
"Yes, we all know that the Grand Master can influence the situation in the capital. How could the old emperor not know? Such things are the most taboo. He wants to get rid of the 'internal trouble' of the Grand Master first, and then welcome the foreign enemies. Obviously, he has nothing to do with the Xilu
The rest of the clan had an idea!
However, although my six Buddhist powers are limited in this world, they can still play some role in the capital!
After I came to the capital, I noticed a lot of things that were wrong, and I noticed that the dragon energy in the imperial city was different, and there seemed to be a murderous disaster, with father and son fighting each other. I am afraid that the old emperor is about to change from a 'fake coma' to a real death!"
"The old emperor is going to die? Who will take action and kill the king at this time!?"
Meng Qi said with a solemn tone.
Ruan Yushu plucked the strings with his right hand and said:
"Prince! Among the princes now, the prince has the strongest power, and the right prime minister supports the eldest son to succeed to the throne. If the old prince dies, the right prime minister will definitely support the prince and give the prince time and opportunity to win over the courtiers!"
Shang Yi nodded and said:
"Yes, behind the third prince is the Demon Queen, behind the fourth prince is the Sword Emperor, and the seventh prince is favored by the old emperor and comes to win over the ministers, but behind him is actually the evil king. Now that the evil king is dead, the seventh prince is the first to be eliminated. It seems that
We will support the Fourth Prince this time!"
Meng Qi asked the last question:
"Then how on earth is the prince going to attack the old emperor? With his right minister here, and the strength of such an old emperor in the world of martial arts must not be weak!"
Shang Yi sneered:
"This is the problem that the old emperor ignored. He pretended to be comatose, but it caused the eunuchs and maids in the palace to become distracted, and they began to defect to the prince, looking for a way out and a future for themselves!
As for whether a person is really in a coma, clues can be detected from his daily food. Presumably the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince already knew that the old emperor was in a fake coma.
And the old emperor let his most trusted right-hand minister control the court! If the peace talks were successful, he would lose his bad reputation to the left-hand minister. On the contrary, his reputation as a treacherous prime minister had already spread throughout the world. If the peace talks failed, Marshal Lu had already arrived in Beijing and could take over at any time.
When the soldiers go out to fight against the enemy, they can also blame all the faults on the left prime minister.
Obviously, the Zuo Prime Minister has become the abandoned son of the old emperor. As long as the prince tells the left prime minister about this, he will definitely join the prince immediately and even help the prince with suggestions to make the old emperor really die of illness!"
These people are not stupid. With Shang Yi's plot plug-in, they sorted out the situation in the capital in a few seconds and understood the real situation now.
Ge Huaien said tentatively:
"Then we need to support the fourth prince? He also has the idea of taking the lead, maybe..."
Meng Qi also nodded and said:
"Yes, since the old emperor's goal is the Grand Master, and Batu and others are also pawns, I'm afraid he also wants peace talks, so why not take this opportunity to help the fourth prince ascend to the throne!"
He is famous in the capital as the "Shocking Sword", has also received guidance from the Sword Emperor, and has a better relationship with the fourth prince!
······
The next day, Meng Qi, Shang Yi and others, armed with swords, escorted Lu Guan, Batu and others to the outside of the palace city, where they saw several Ouchi masters waiting.
"Commander Lu, the right minister is guarding the palace, so there should be no danger." Meng Qi said sternly.
Lu Guan nodded lightly: "The right prime minister will definitely accompany us to find the young master of the Jiang tribe. You don't have to wait here. You can do whatever you want."
Meng Qi pretended to be solemn and said: "Commander Lu, the matter of fraud in the peace talks is very important. I want to inform the four princes one by one so that they can make plans in advance."
Lu Guan was stunned for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Go."
He does not have the martial arts, connections and status of the Right Prime Minister Wang Derang, and his attempt to remain absolutely neutral will only arouse the common resentment of the four princes - I have good intentions to win over you, a run-down general with no soldiers and no money, but you don't appreciate it?
Therefore, a critical attitude will help to dispel this emotion. As long as there is still hope of winning over, most princes will not hate and fall out. And the most important thing is, I don’t know which prince wants to negotiate peace with Xilu in private, adding
As for Dabao's bargaining chip, I don't know if he knows that the peace talks are fraudulent. This needs to be tested. The current excuse is just right.
Meng Qi, on the other hand, is preparing to make the final test. Although he has everything in mind, he must be fully prepared. After all, he has seen that Shang Yi does not intend to take too many risks in this mission, and there is nothing that cannot be defeated in this collaborative mission.
Location expert!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But when he turned around and saw Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu chatting happily, Meng Qi always felt as if he had not returned to secular life to grow his hair.
The light bulb is standing there.
Finally, he walked towards Wanghoufang along the left side of the palace with no expression on his face, his pace was neither hasty nor slow, just like taking a walk after morning exercise every day.
He had no specific plan to see whom first and whom later. He planned to go along the road and see whose house he met first.
Shang Yi said to Ruan Yushu:
"Shuai Lu has already entered the palace. Meng Qi has gone to test the four princes. We have some time to spare. Why don't we go to the restaurant to find some food and wait for them to finish!"
Ruan Yushu's eyes flashed with anticipation when he heard this, and then he pretended to be reserved and said:
"Then listen to Senior Brother Huaikong! Let's try the delicious food of the capital first!"
With that said, the two of them headed towards the most prosperous Longshou Street, leaving Ge Huaien alone outside the palace city.
Ge Huaien was also sensible and did not follow him forcefully. Instead, he honestly found a stall and waited for Lu Guan to leave the palace.
On Longshou Street, Shang Yi, who was walking side by side with Ruan Yushu, had an illusory black lotus twinkling between his eyebrows, which made him slightly startled as he was walking. However, he soon naturally continued to communicate with Ruan Yushu about the way of the piano.
However, Shang Yi murmured in his heart:
"Tsk, I'm still somewhat affected. Did Emperor Fengdu take action?"
Obviously, this is the power of the "Black Lotus of the Essence", a magical weapon from the other side that is connected to Shang Yi's mind, reminding him that there is a being from the other side who has "arranged" a marriage for him.
He wanted to bring Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu together, and even used this to plot against Shang Yi.
Throughout the history of spiritual practice in the outer world, there are countless examples of using beauties to plot against others. Looking more closely, didn’t the overlords in ancient times also fall into Ananda’s trap due to the Xuannv of the female sect?
Shang Yi did not expect that he would encounter such a scheme in this world.
Looking up at the sky, Shang Yi knew clearly that with Ancient Bodhi Buddha behind him, it would be difficult for him to escape from such a scheme!
According to the arrangement of an ancient being, no matter how hard you struggle, things will proceed according to his will. Even if he can escape, Ruan Yushu will find it difficult to escape!
Moreover, what really made Shang Yi speechless was that his biggest trump card was that the projection of money in the sky did not move at all. If it hadn't been for the reminder from Yuan Shen Black Lotus, he would not have been able to realize that he was being arranged.
At this moment, Shang Yi had the idea of hiding in trouble like the little mage from Xuandu.
After finally getting the magic weapon from the other side to protect him, he was ready to show off in this world of reincarnation, but he didn't expect to be slapped by the boss from the other side when he went out.
Although Shang Yi himself was fine, he found it difficult to resist being arranged.
"Brother Huai Kong!? What's wrong?"
Ruan Yushu's mind was sharp and he could tell at a glance that Shang Yi was distracted, so he couldn't help but ask.
Shang Yi suddenly became nervous when he heard this and said:
"No...it's nothing! I just opened the celestial ear, and the voices in the capital are messy. I need to devote part of my mind to sorting out these voices!"
Ah, Miss Ruan, we are coming!"
Looking at Shang Yi's stammering look, Ruan Yushu didn't ask any more questions, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly! She was quick in thinking, so she couldn't tell that Shang Yi was simply distracted, but Shang Yi like this looked a bit fun!
