The Wuyue Sword Sect encountered a surprise attack by the Xuantian Sect and returned with a disastrous defeat. Counting the knights who traveled with them, a team of dozens of people, only Hu Qianzhong and Lu Wen survived.
This is definitely explosive news, but before the news that shocked the world was spread, a small incident happened.
Cui Yixiao had negotiated a business deal with Li Yan and sincerely chose the head of protector Bai Yichen. When he turned around and transferred the matter to Lu Hanjiang, two days had passed.
Lu Hanjiang pondered for a long time, looked at Cui Yixiao and asked, "What do you think of this Li Yan?"
Cui Yixiao thought for a while and replied: "Li Yan attaches great importance to petty sentiments and neglects righteousness. He seems to be very deep in the city, but in fact he is short-sighted and cowardly. His subordinates thought that this person might be used as a sword and driven to kill, but
It is not appropriate to entrust it to a big use."
Lu Hanjiang said "hmm". Judging from Cui Yixiao's reply, it was obvious that he didn't like Li Yan.
This is not surprising, Jin Yiwei always takes the initiative when looking for helpers in the world. In other words, most of the people who turn to them decide to betray because of their instigation, but Li Yan is different.
This Xuantian Cult protector deliberately attracted the attention of Jin Yiwei and then took the initiative to join him. This is very suspicious in the first place.
Cui Yixiao used Bai Yichen's head to test Li Yan not only to fulfill Lu Hanjiang's instructions, but also to confirm this person's determination.
If the other party didn't make a move, or if it was "accidentally" missed, then naturally there is nothing to say. Even if this person is not a traitor planned by the Xuantian Sect, he is still a loser.
However, if the other party really took Bai Yichen's head, there are two possibilities. One is that this person really surrendered, and the other is that Xuantian Sect did not hesitate to use the head of a protector in order to win the trust of Jin Yiwei.
If this is the case, then regardless of the first or second reasons, Jin Yiwei has made a profit, because Cui Yixiao has never considered accepting the other party from the beginning to the end. When Bai Yichen dies, it is almost a certainty that he will be killed.
.
In fact, Lu Hanjiang had the same idea as Cui Yixiao. If he could use this to kill the two guardians of the Xuantian Sect in one fell swoop, it would be a good deal.
Naturally, if Li Yan sincerely surrenders, he may be able to inflict greater harm to the Xuantian Sect in the future if he ambushes the chess piece. This is for sure. Killing people now is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the egg.
But Lu Hanjiang didn't care, or in other words, Jin Yiwei didn't care.
Jin Yiwei will always have a huge advantage against the Xuantian Sect, and Lu Hanjiang, the chess player, will always make the right choice no matter what he chooses.
Xuantian Sect's masters are dying one by one, and behind the Jinyiwei is the imperial court, and at the feet of the imperial court is the whole world. With hard strength, if there are one hundred more Li Yans, Xuantian Sect will be like a mantis.
However, compared to Cui Yixiao's unhesitating intention to kill, Lu Hanjiang had some other opinions about this person.
"Does Deputy Cui Qianhu know about the old friend's daughter that Li Yan mentioned?" Lu Hanjiang asked with great interest.
Hearing this, Cui Yixiao's face fell. He glanced towards the back room and quietly winked at Lu Hanjiang. What he meant was that walls have ears. At this moment, the princess was still nearby, so he was discussing the topic of women so straightforwardly. Isn't it a bit strange?
Not suitable?
However, Lu Hanjiang did not understand what Cui Yixiao meant. After all, the two people had very different ideas.
After spending a long time and finding that Lu Hanjiang was unresponsive, Cui Yixiao could only sigh secretly and said honestly: "Replying to the adults, I also asked a few indirect questions. That woman is Li Yan's adopted daughter, and her name is Qing Xian'er."
"Green Fairy"
Lu Hanjiang nodded and searched for the memory of this name in his mind, but found nothing.
According to the most likely conjecture, Li Yan's old friend should also be an old minister of the former prince's party, so this Qing Xian'er is a criminal minister.
But if that was the case, Lu Hanjiang didn't understand why the other party rushed to send his adopted daughter to death.
Lu Hanjiang would not have unrealistic illusions about others. It goes without saying what kind of virtue Jin Yiwei is in the eyes of Jianghu people. Since Li Yan knows the identity of the former prince and is probably from Cefeng Army, it is even more impossible that he does not know Jin Yiwei's identity.
The bottom line is that there is no bottom line.
Lu Hanjiang did not agree with Cui Yixiao's statement. He had never seen the former prince himself, so he would not comment. However, the people under his highness were not economical lamps.
He didn't quite believe that Li Yan was simply stupid or naive. The other party's actions were completely pinning his life on the mercy of Jin Yiwei. This was not what a smart person would do.
Therefore, Lu Hanjiang guessed that the person the other party chose with all his might was most likely not Jin Yiwei's non-existent conscience, but this so-called adopted daughter.
"Let's see first. No matter how this Protector Li wants to play, we must first see Bai Yichen's head before the show can be successful." Lu Hanjiang did not change his attitude in the end, and remained the same.
Just wait and see what happens.
And just one day later, at the last moment of the three-day appointment between Li Yan and Cui Yixiao, the other party finally made a move.
Li Yan did not choose to do it himself, but handed a piece of information to the person who was the real leader of the Xuantian Sect's southward expedition, the saint Qian Xiaoxiao.
The content of the intelligence was very simple. It was that Bai Yichen suddenly attacked and killed Tianquan on his way back north.
Naturally, Li Yan would not be so powerful that he would not have time to find out any traces. This information was forged, but the clever thing is that what this false information revealed turned out to be the hidden truth.
This was an unexpected surprise. After reading the information brought by Li Yan, Qian Xiaoxiao immediately called Bai Yichen to ask for details.
As a result, Qian Xiaoxiao's first question was, "Is Tianquan dead or alive?" Bai Yichen's face suddenly changed, and then he turned around and ran away without even replying.
Bai Yichen didn't know the entanglement. When he heard Qian Xiaoxiao's question, he was already confused.
There are only two parties who know the truth about this matter, one is himself, and the other is Jin Yiwei who issued the order to him. If he didn't reveal the truth, it must be a good thing Jin Yiwei did.
Out of fear of the Jin Yiwei, Bai Yichen didn't even think about making excuses. He knew very well how vicious and impeccable these court eagle dogs were, so he was definitely doomed this time.
At such a fatal moment, any excuse is useless. Qian Xiaoxiao, a saint, is not the type to listen carefully to what others say. Her feelings for Tianquan are obvious to all, so Bai Yichen ran away decisively.
This made Qian Xiaoxiao's expression completely gloomy. She was finally convinced that Li Yan's information was correct, and immediately chased him out, planning to capture him and force him to find out more details.
