Of course, the deal with Luo Yuanjing ended on bad terms, not to mention that this old man was Huangfu Ling'er's teacher. Even if he had nothing to do with it, it would be difficult for him to end it if he did such a serious thing.
But Lu Hanjiang's goal has been achieved. He just wants to let Luo Fuzi know that there is still such a way. As for whether the old man takes it or not, that is none of his business.
It doesn't matter if the deal is not concluded. Being able to "negotiate a deal" itself is a bargaining chip that can be used for trading.
In business, the most important thing is not to sit back and have nothing, there are always customers. Since Luo Yuanjing refuses to sell Huangfu Ling'er, his good disciple, let's see if Huangfu Ling'er is willing to sell his good teacher.
.
Lu Hanjiang has always been very good at developing potential customers.
...
At night, Lu Hanjiang went to Meng Yuan's house for dinner. As usual, the two of them chatted in the study about his trip south to deal with Yanshi.
The process of killing does not need to be described in detail, and Master Meng was not interested in the gains in the machine formation. He just asked this question after listening to Lu Hanjiang's words -
"You already know what the so-called method of immortality is, right?"
Lu Hanjiang did not deny it, he nodded and said: "I know it from Yanshi's mouth, and I also know why the Lord let him live."
"So, what do you think?" Meng Yuan looked into Lu Hanjiang's eyes calmly, and there seemed to be an unspeakable expectation in his eyes.
"well."
Lu Hanjiang sighed and said softly: "Uncle Meng, you should have told me this a long time ago. Since you were willing to let Master Yan live in the first place, it proves that you probably don't believe in the method of immortality. That is,
If that’s the case, then isn’t there only one way we can go?”
Meng Yuan looked at Lu Hanjiang with relief. He didn't speak for a long time, and finally said: "I didn't want to tell you. After all, if such a shocking move fails, widespread implication is inevitable."
"As far as my relationship with you is concerned, there is no way I can escape."
Lu Hanjiang said angrily: "Besides, I was alone and safe. It would have been better for you to directly request the decree for me to be the princess. Now, I am also involved."
Such shameless words were naturally slapped on the head by Mr. Meng, but he did not use those nice words to offend Lu Hanjiang, but said bluntly: "I am sorry for you and have caused you all these troubles."
Lu Hanjiang was stunned for a moment, then said with a sneer: "I was just joking, why did Uncle Meng suddenly say that?"

.”
Lu Hanjiang's mouth twitched: "You really think highly of me."
"With you here, at least she won't be plotted against for no reason."
It could be seen that Meng Yuan really loved his niece very much. He patted Lu Hanjiang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I watched that child grow up. She has a pure heart. I don't think it will make you worry too much."
"..."
There is a saying that the more Meng Yuan comforted her like this, the more uncertain Lu Hanjiang felt. But now that the old man had spoken out, he could rest assured that he was the princess's personal bodyguard. He was Princess Shang, and he was not marrying a wife.
.
When this matter was settled, Meng Yuan turned to ask other questions: "How do you plan to deal with the Xiaoyao sect's matter?"
Lu Hanjiang thought for a while and said: "Actually, Shuoxuan and Yanshi are dead, and a group of bereaved dogs from the Xiaoyao sect are not a concern at all. But now that the East Palace is in the capital, there is a lot of chaos in the capital, so it is really difficult to make a move. In fact, I want to wait for Your Majesty first.
Let’s get started.”
After listening, Meng Yuan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it is not appropriate to take action at this time, but the night is long and the dreams are many, so I simply let your majesty teach you a lesson first, and then you can fish in troubled waters and take down these traitors... I have to do this..."
Come and do it.”
Meng Yuan took over this matter, and Lu Hanjiang thought it was the best. Since he wanted to prepare early, these disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect would have a new use.
They all know the princes very well, so they don't have to rush to kill them after they capture them. Keeping them is also a useful card.
The commander was a resolute man, so since he wanted to do it, he immediately sent Lu Hanjiang away and went to the palace overnight.
I don't know what the old man said to the emperor. When the cabinet was discussing the next day, an edict was parachuted to the chancellor's desk, ordering all the princes to return to their mansions to self-examine, and ordered the royal guards to strictly investigate the traitors around the princes.
The word "treacherous" is overused. It basically means that these bastards want to rebel against me. No one knows why the emperor who originally chose to remain silent suddenly became angry, but this cruel method still silenced everyone.
The power of the princes has been severely dealt a blow, and countless ministers have been imprisoned in the past few days.
Of course, although the Jin Yiwei was able to arrest people, they were also quick to release them. Meng Yuan's order was to pick up people high and put them down gently, so this time the action was mainly to warn people.
The ministers who have been in prison are all as honest as quails, and the princes are also keeping their heads down, and they may not dare to make any big moves in the short term.
Meng Yuan's meaning was very obvious, and everyone saw it clearly. As for the few unlucky guys who were caught in the imperial prison and were not released, they could understand it. After all, even if it was just a show, they still had to do a complete show.
This group of unlucky ones seemed to have nothing in common and came from different forces. At first glance, they were randomly selected by the Jin Yiwei. Only Lu Hanjiang and Meng Yuan knew that the heirs of these adults were all members of the Xiaoyao Sect.
In this way, Lu Hanjiang easily wiped out the Xiaoyao Sect. As for when and how to use it in the future, it depends on how the situation develops in the future. Anyway, Jinyiwei has money, so they will not be short of a meal in prison.
Lu Hanjiang did not go to prison to laugh at the stupidity of his senior brothers. To him, the three most interesting people in the Xiaoyao sect, Xi Qiu, Shuo Xuan, and Yan Shi, all died in his hands, and the rest
They are just scraps, which are really uninteresting.
It is worth mentioning that among all your highnesses, only His Highness Yu has just returned to the royal family and is basically powerless, so if you want to arrest someone, there is no suitable candidate.
Moreover, because the Xiaoyao disciple in charge of the Crown Princess and His Highness Yu's group is Lu Hanjiang himself, he really has no one to arrest here.
However, this action was somewhat unintentional. Luo Fuzi didn't know whether he was frightened by Jin Yiwei's big move, or was reminded by Lu Hanjiang's "let go" of His Highness Yu. He seemed to have the idea of talking about it again.
This was an unexpected surprise. Lu Hanjiang was naturally happy to talk to him a few more times. Let's not talk about whether we can get along with him or not. Some talks are a good thing.
At the very least, for Lu Hanjiang, who planned to sell the same product to two families, the more Luo Fuzi hesitated, the more room he had to maneuver. After all, the human heart is the least able thing in the world to withstand speculation.
In this way, in an atmosphere where one person is happy and everyone is sad, time has arrived in the new year.
