It was late at night, but the Crown Princess had not yet settled down to bed. She was sitting in the empty hall, with only one maid accompanying her.
"If everything goes well, the people from Wudang should take action against the Xuantian Sect by now." The princess seemed to be talking to herself.
The maid behind him hesitated for a moment, and then replied respectfully: "In reply to Your Highness, Mr. Gongsun is doing things safely. After the letter is delivered, Wudang will not hesitate again."
"Really? That's good." The Crown Princess smiled slightly, then lay down on the table, staring at the flickering candlelight, seemingly in a daze.
The maid behind her is a personal maid who has served the Crown Princess since childhood. She is now the Crown Princess's confidant and the stewardess of the East Palace. Her expression at this moment seems a little hesitant.
The maid who was hesitant to speak, after being silent for a long time, said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Xuantian Sect has gone too far this time. If Wudang Sect raises its arms at this moment, it may really make the leader's years of hard work impossible.
All in vain.”
The maid's position was very clear. Normally, she would not address the Crown Princess as "His Royal Highness". As Lu Hanjiang thought, the conflict between the two in the East Palace was very deep.
After hearing this, the Crown Princess still had a smile on her face, and she said: "Maybe, Youyun is dead, and their Saint is unable to carry her. One Thousand Faces alone is not enough. If Wudang really
He must have been very distressed when he gave up the idea of closing the mountain and took the initiative."
The maid looked a little strange, and she reminded: "But, Your Highness, the Xuantian Sect is our own after all. This time you not only leaked the information about their southward movement, but also gave the excuse for war to the Jin Yiwei. This is really..."
"Yes, if Jin Yiwei makes good use of the fact that the little Wudang Taoist priest is still alive, the battle between Xuantian Sect and Wudang will definitely be inevitable." The princess buried her face in her arms and said softly.
"Your Highness, why are you doing this?" The maid sighed and said boldly: "Yinu, you see, those people in the Xuantian Sect disobey orders and make decisions without authorization. All you have to do is reprimand them. How should we end up with this?"
ah."
The Crown Princess chuckled, she slowly sat up straight, tilted her head and looked at the maid, and suddenly asked: "Ayan, do you think that if we can really make it to the end, Xuantian Church will be Jin Yiwei's opponent?"
?"
The maid Ayan was slightly startled when she heard the words, and then she calmed down and thought seriously for a moment, but she shook her head bitterly: "With the strength of Xuantian Sect's family, it is like a mantis trying to defeat the Jin Yiwei. This servant boldly asserts that there is almost no chance of winning."
"Ayan, is that what you think?" The Crown Princess rolled her eyes and said softly: "What a coincidence. I also think that Xuantian Sect is no match for Jinyiwei at all. The chance of winning is too slim."
The maid Ayan glanced at the Crown Princess in surprise, and saw that she was holding the head of a mistress in one hand, holding a jade sign in the other hand and fidgeting with the candle on the table, and murmured: "Since it is obvious that I am not my opponent, why do I have to do it?"
I’m betting on him.”
Hearing this, the maid Ayan trembled slightly. She seemed to understand what the Crown Princess meant, and there was a look of shock in her eyes that could not be dissipated for a long time.
At this moment, at the temporary position of Jin Yiwei, Lu Hanjiang threw the telescope in his hand to the hundreds of households nearby, tightened his tight robe, and sat back in front of the tea tree.
"Tsk, tsk, Wudang Great Elder, you are so powerful. Did you see the way the Thousand-faced Dharma King was beaten and fled, haha." Lu Hanjiang joked with Huangfu Xiaoyuan beside him.
Unfortunately, Huangfu Xiaoyuan's reaction was calm. She said: "This matter is really strange. How could Wudang predict the situation? Yangzi arrived too soon."
"When things go wrong, there must be a monster. Wudang came in such a timely manner, which means someone played a trick."
Lu Hanjiang didn't think anything about this. In the gambling game of Jianghu, there were many gamblers on the surface, and there were even more countless gamblers hiding in the deep water.
Now that they had no clues at all, it would be fruitless to just guess, so Lu Hanjiang simply didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, the final outcome of the matter would be according to their plan.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan saw what Lu Hanjiang meant and didn't say anything more. She just glanced towards the north again. In that direction just now, a familiar figure escaped.
"Li Yan—that Xuantian Cult protector, what do you plan to do with him?" Huangfu Xiaoyuan asked.
Lu Hanjiang thought for a while, then raised his hand to signal the Jin Yiwei beside him to prepare pen and ink. He picked up the pen and wrote a letter and handed it to Huangfu Xiaoyuan: "Send it back to the Yamen and let Mr. Wu handle it."
Lu Hanjiang did not write the letter behind Huangfu Xiaoyuan's back, so when the latter took the letter, he read the content above. This was an informal order, which asked Wu Qiming to transfer Li Yan and
The news of Jin Yiwei's collusion was revealed to the Crown Princess.
After Huangfu Xiaoyuan read it, she frowned: "Why are you doing this?"
"Reciprocity is reciprocity," Lu Hanjiang shrugged: "His Highness gave me such a good gift, and I always have to reciprocate it. Otherwise, it would be too rude. You must know that my teacher now is Luo Yuanjing."
As he spoke, Lu Hanjiang suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Your Highness is also the old man's student. Do you think I should just call her senior sister next time?"
With a flash of inspiration, Lu Hanjiang took the letter paper back and started scribbling and correcting it again.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan was already accustomed to Lu Hanjiang's leaping thinking. After listening to what he said, she naturally selectively forgot the rest of the content.
She grabbed the front part and asked pointedly: "Are you planning to use Xuantian Sect's help to kill Li Yan?"
Lu Hanjiang wrote furiously and said without raising his head: "How do you know that Master Xuantian will definitely kill him? Have you ever seen him?"
This was a joke. After Huangfu Xiaoyuan heard it, she frowned and asked: "Of course I haven't seen him. In that case, how can you be sure that he won't kill people? Have you ever seen him?"
"Haha, when did you start learning that stinky girl's way of speaking? Well, when I started to get involved in the world, this leader had been 'dead' for more than ten years. How could I possibly have seen him?"
Lu Hanjiang stopped what he was doing, picked up the letter that had been altered beyond recognition and looked at it. Then he nodded with satisfaction and said at the same time: "It is precisely because we don't understand the personality of this leader that we have to give it a try."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan's eyes paused slightly, as if she had some understanding.
Lu Hanjiang handed the revised letter to Huangfu Xiaoyuan again, and then said with emotion: "This leader is also a cunning character who knows how to conceal the truth. As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be victorious in every battle, what do you think?"
Huangfu Xiaoyuan was silent for a long time, and then said: "In the final analysis, Xuantian Sect is just a sect of Jianghu. With the strength of Jinyiwei, is it really necessary to reach this level?"
"Well, you're right. If we consider the general situation, it's really not necessary." Lu Hanjiang put his head in his hands and walked back, looking at the night sky and laughing: "I just think it's more fun this way."
