Wei Zhuang has never been a person who reveals his true feelings through words, and Hong Lian's brief exchange with him did not produce any results.
Zhuang, do you really want to kill Lu Yan? Behind these words, the answer Honglian wants to hear is by no means a simple yes or no.
Unfortunately, Wei Zhuang really only answered "Yes."
The conversation ended, Honglian stepped out of the room and gently closed the door.
She returned to her room, sat down and placed the knife in front of her, stroking the phoenix head on the handle.
You said that exposing what you care about will make others see your weaknesses. Zhuang, will I still become your weakness now?
If, if I can completely enter the Dacheng Realm, if I can become stronger...
Honglian knew Wei Zhuang's feelings for her. If he had no feelings, he would not have kept Wei Zhuang by his side and taught him with all his heart for so many years, and this knife would not have been given to her.
But to use an analogy, if someone wants to kill Lu Yan, then he will choose to use Nong Yu as a threat; and if someone wants to kill Wei Zhuang, unless he has a broad vision like Lu Yan, he will not be able to figure out Wei Zhuang's weakness.
This is Wei Zhuang's image in the eyes of the world, ruthless and ruthless, which is also in line with Liusha's behavior. Hong Lian is no different from killers such as Cang Lang, Hei Xuan, Zhuan Po, and Mie Hun.
Not showing your weaknesses to others is not only to protect yourself, but also to protect Honglian.
Wei Zhuang's emotional behavior is like this, very cold, but also a different kind of fiery in troubled times.
Honglian knew all this clearly, so she still wanted to become stronger. Until Wei Zhuang had to praise herself as a strong person, at that time, she might really stand with him.
She calmed down her heart, adjusted her breath, and then entered a state of cultivation. The mysterious internal power she learned from the Red Lotus Sword was slowly functioning.
…
"Huh? This feeling seems familiar."
Lu Yan was watching the program casually from a high position in a hot air balloon when he suddenly noticed a familiar aura. He looked towards the weak target source in his perception and saw a big sign - Shehe Inn.
"Who can make me feel familiar?"
The weak sparks in the Shehe Inn were like the last embers before the ashes of the vegetation were annihilated. If Lu Yan's mental perception hadn't been too strong and this strange sense of familiarity suddenly attracted his attention, I'm afraid he might have done nothing.
I don't know why I just flew there.
Lu Yan searched his memory, but for a moment he couldn't remember who this faint spark belonged to. However, he kept an eye on it and planned to send someone to pay close attention to Shehe Inn when he turned around.
The rehearsal during the day was a success. The people of Handan really got a glimpse of some of the celebration content, and were even more looking forward to the official performance. Nong Yu was responsible for the program arrangement, and there was no problem with the personnel changes, and the whole process went smoothly.
That night, Lu Yan summoned the senior officials of Luo Wang who were currently in Handan at the Imperial Prefecture.
"Tide Banshee, who are the people staying at the Shehe Inn?"
The Chao Banshee recalled briefly and replied: "Shehe Inn has a strategic location and is a famous big inn in Handan City. There are too many guests from all over the world. Sir, this inn
Is there a problem?"
Big inn, crowded and messy.
Lu Yan pondered for a moment, recalling the familiarity he noticed during the day, and ordered: "Bai Feng, go and keep an eye on this inn yourself. When I passed by during the day, I seemed to feel something strange."
A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Feng's eyes, and she nodded seriously in response.
"I imagined that someone would take advantage of the chaos in Handan and the lack of surveillance. The best time would be during the celebration. If I want to celebrate the cholera, the cast and crew must infiltrate. Mo Crow, Ying Ge
, your work must not be slacked off.”
"Yes, sir."
The two agreed at the same time that they would be responsible for men and women respectively. Naturally, they knew that the closer they got to the performance, the more they could not let down their guard.
Tianzi first-class Duanshui Jianji, Luan Shenjian Qi, and their respective killer-level assassins were also recalled to Handan early to prepare for possible enemies.
"Ji, Qi, tell everyone to pay attention to the signals in the city at all times. If a special situation occurs, send people to support immediately." Lu Yan planned the hiding places of the Snare Killer according to the patrol route, and distributed them on the route like sentries.
, using a specially made bolide as a signal, if there is an emergency, we can intervene on the scene as quickly as possible.
He also gave a special warning: "Ji, the Shehe Inn is in the area you are responsible for, so be careful and pay attention."
He held his sword and accepted the order, "Yes, sir."
Ju Shuang had been watching, and when he saw that everyone in the net was dispatched this time, he couldn't help but ask: "Master, do you need me?"
Lu Yan smiled at her and said, "Sister Ju Shuang, you are responsible for looking after the house. If something goes wrong, Ayan will still need your care."
Ju Shuang responded softly: "Yes, I understand."
Lu Yan waved everyone away and called to the Chao Banshee, "Please have someone send over all the information on the people who are known to have recently stayed at the Shehe Inn."
Soon, the information of a bunch of people who entered Handan City Gate and finally settled at Shehe Inn was placed in front of Lu Yan.
Of course, these are very rough records, such as where this group of people claimed to be from, what they came for, what large items they brought, etc. On the surface, nothing can be seen at all.
After Lu Yan spent some time sorting out the information, he showed a meaningful smile, "Are most of them businessmen? They really do business and so on... Since you are a businessman, you have to talk about business. Chao Banshee,
Then go check the merchants in Handan City and compare them with these guys."
"Please don't worry, sir." Chao Banshee smiled seductively, followed the order and left.
"Haha~" Lu Yan yawned with half-squinted eyes, thinking that Nong Yu might be scolding some program in Pingyuan Jun's Mansion for not performing well enough at this time, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
He raised his head and glanced at the waning moon in the sky, then took advantage of the moonlight and headed to Pingyuan Jun's Mansion.
…
Contrary to Lu Yan's guess, Nong Yu did not reprimand any group for not performing well enough during the day. She was quite satisfied with the rehearsal results.
It is not difficult to perform to please the people. At this time, the people's art appreciation ability was almost zero. As long as they performed grand and joyful music, singing and dancing, and kept it, they would be satisfied.
When Nongyu drew up the program list, she had considered that these programs did not pursue artistic attainments. Only those that strive to resonate with the people need to be demanding about the quality of the performances. During the day, everyone's performance basically achieved her expected results.
The biggest killers of the celebration were her, Lu Yan, and Zhao Gen. These were not exposed in the rehearsal.
After Nongyu encouraged the leaders of all the shows, he asked everyone to go back and rest. Everyone dragged their tired bodies away, except Gao Jianli who was still standing.
She asked: "Xiao Gao, what's the matter?"
Gao Jianli ducked his eyes downward for a moment, and then said seriously: "Madam, was Zhao Wu not in the celebration program last night?"
"Huh?" Nong Yu's pure starry eyes blinked, and then she suddenly understood. After taking a look at the cold-faced young man, she said, "Sister Zhao Jin's dance is the most exciting part of the celebration, so naturally it cannot be exposed in advance."
"I see...then...I..." His words were slightly knotted.
Nongyu knew that she was right, so she smiled and said, "You and I will both accompany her when the time comes."
Gao Jianli's eyes lit up, he lowered his head slightly and said, "I understand. Madam, I'm going down first. You should also rest early." After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly.
Nong Yu looked at his back, her eyebrows slightly curved, and she smiled.
