On the way to Xiangzhou, in the large black carriage of the Overwatch Council, Liu Ling looked at Ye Xiuning and the three of them apologetically and said, "There is something I want to discuss with you."
Ye Xiuning smiled and said: "Why is the prince so polite?"
Liu Ling said seriously: "This matter involves the three of you, so I must seek your opinions. If I do this rashly, I'm afraid you will still hate me."
Ye Xiuning glanced at Luan Ying and saw that she was also looking at him. Even Xiao Ping'an was a little at a loss by Liu Ling's solemn expression and didn't know what big deal he was going to say. Ye Xiuning, who recovered from the fright and panic, was dignified and beautiful.
, her eyelashes are very long and curled, and her face is fair with a bit of pink. It looks like she and Luan Ying are like sisters, and they don't look like thirty-five-year-old people at all.
"Your Majesty is the lord of a country, so what he said made the three of us panic. No matter what decision Your Majesty makes, who in the whole country can disrespect him? Even...even if it involves the White Lotus Sect, Xiaoying and I will not be safe.
I have no objection at all. After all... the White Lotus Sect is no longer the White Lotus Sect we are familiar with. The three of us have no intention of interfering in the affairs of the sect, and we never thought that the sect has become such a mess. If, if the prince wants to
The dissolution of the White Lotus Sect... The three of us also agree. As the prince said, it was only with great difficulty that the prince created peace in this world. If it is destroyed by the White Lotus Sect, the three of us will not be able to escape the blame."
Liu Ling saw Ye Xiuning's sincerity. He glanced at Ye Xiuning gratefully and said, "The White Lotus Sect has gained many followers among the people in recent years. Even if I use thunder to wipe out those black sheep, I still want the White Lotus Sect to disappear."
It's impossible. Today I sent people to arrest them, and they hid and mingled with the common people. It's not easy to catch them all. Tomorrow if we relax, they will come out like weeds after the rain and wreak havoc on the peaceful world.
I can't kill anyone on sight, otherwise the people will think that I am acting too harshly."
He paused and said: "When I asked for your opinions, I didn't mean to completely wipe out the White Lotus Sect. To be honest, the Han Dynasty has millions of soldiers, and the Supervisory Yuan is also very capable in investigating cases, but the White Lotus Sect's matter makes me quite puzzled.
It's a headache. Killing with all your strength can't be achieved once and for all, and if you let it go unchecked, something may happen. So, I want to ask you two to do a favor."
Ye Xiuning sat up straight, nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. As long as the three of us can do it, and it is beneficial to the country and the people, we will not refuse."
Liu Ling snorted and said: "I still hope that you can regain control of the White Lotus Sect. I know that there are still a majority of people in the White Lotus Sect who support you and Luan Ying, and most of the White Lotus Sect believers are good-hearted. As long as someone guides you
They, they will always do good deeds and behave upright. No one is more suitable to be their guide than you and Luan Ying. The White Lotus Sect was founded by my respected husband, and your influence in the sect is unmatched. I will send supervisors again.
The people in the academy will assist you in eradicating those people with ulterior motives, and help turn the White Lotus Sect into a sect that is harmless to the people."
Ye Xiuning was stunned. She really didn't expect that Liu Ling actually wanted her to return to the White Lotus Sect. In the past few years, she had stopped asking about the White Lotus Sect. Even Luan Ying didn't like to be involved in the intrigues and intrigues.
Life. So when Liu Ling said it, she still felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and considered whether to agree to Liu Ling's request.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Luan Ying say: "Your Majesty... Master's Wife only wants to be pure and natural, and she doesn't like trivial worldly things. Moreover, the atmosphere in the church is disgusting, so Master's Wife is not suitable to assist the Prince in his work.
These things."
She raised her head and looked at Liu Ling and said: "But the prince is right. There are probably hundreds of thousands of followers of the White Lotus Sect now. If no one guides them to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, it will eventually become a curse. Even if the prince kills most of them,
As long as there are still people alive, the hatred in their hearts will force them to fight against the big man. There is no guarantee that the Red Lotus Sect or the Green Lotus Sect will not come out again. Your Majesty... Master Niang is not suitable to help you complete this matter, so leave it to me.
"
Ye Xiuning was stunned. She looked at Luan Ying distressedly and said, "Xiaoying, there are too many intrigues in the church. Your temper is too straightforward and strong. It is inevitable that something will go wrong. I'm afraid... you will be hurt."
Luan Ying smiled and said: "Master, there are things that I should do. I can't just run away like before. If we can really prevent anyone in the sect from doing evil, it will be a great thing with immeasurable merit. I know that I am too impulsive.
, but people have to grow, right? Besides, didn’t the prince say that he would send officials from the Overwatch Council to assist?”
Liu Ling sighed and said, "It's just...it will be hard for you."
Luan Ying raised her chin and said: "This is what I should have done. Master...forget it, since this burden should have been carried on my shoulders, if I blindly avoid and retreat, it will only harm more people."
There are so many believers and people. As the prince said, the purpose of the religion is to guide people to do good. I am a saint of the White Lotus Sect, and this responsibility is still mine after all."
She smiled and said, "Could it be that the prince cannot trust me?"
Liu Ling shook his head and said: "How can I not trust you? It's just... pushing you into that difficult position will make you suffer."
This was the second time Liu Ling said these three words. He said, he was just afraid of hurting you.
Hearing these three words, Luan Ying did not feel any bitterness that was difficult to swallow. Instead, she felt a little sweet in her heart. She had complicated feelings towards Liu Ling. She hated her so deeply that she wanted to tear Liu Ling's flesh and bones apart.
Yang Hui was also deeply grateful. When this gratitude appeared, the hatred had actually disappeared. Now, there was something inexplicable in her heart, maybe it was a kind of appreciation, a kind of lightness.
Touched? It was Liu Ling who saved her when she was in danger. As the leader of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ling had no need to condescend to discuss the matter with them like this, but Liu Ling did not overbearingly order them to do anything, nor was he cruel.
She was sincerely moved by her order to destroy the White Lotus Sect.
She is a very emotional woman, capable of heart-breaking hatred, but also capable of loving to the point of death.
Of course, she has no love for Liu Ling.
She just knew that the handsome man in front of her trusted her. No one told her, nor did Liu Ling tell her, but she just knew it. That day in the car, she knew it when Liu Ling was sleeping on her lap.
. A person like Liu Ling can sleep so peacefully next to someone. How could he do this if he doesn't trust this person? Liu Ling knew that he hated him and knew that he had misunderstood him, but he was just a person in front of him.
An unguarded and honest person, Luan Ying is a straightforward woman, and she doesn't want to let this rare trust disappear into thin air.
Perhaps, the deeper she hates someone, the clearer the shadow that person will leave in her heart.
The unforgettable hatred at the time made her remember Liu Ling deeply. Now that the two have settled their differences, Liu Ling still has a shadow in her heart that even she cannot place.
She could not refuse Liu Ling's request and knew that it was her mission in life.
Back then, when the master abandoned the White Lotus Sect, it was her responsibility to pick up the burden and go on unswervingly according to her own will. If escape could solve all disputes, how could there be so many injustices in this world? Human beings
When people evade, it actually means that everyone is humble. But if some people are humble and others take advantage of it, humility will only become the accomplice of others' evil.
"Don't worry, I know what I have to do, and I also know how to do it. Don't worry about me... I will do it well."
When she said "don't worry about me", Luan Ying lowered her head to hide the blush that quietly appeared on her face. The beloved daughter Mo Ruomu, although Ye Xiuning is not Luan Ying's mother, she is just like Luan Ying's mother
Knowing her, the moment Luan Ying lowered her head, Ye Xiuning's heart moved when she saw Luan Ying's expression, and then a somewhat absurd idea emerged in her mind. This idea made Ye Xiuning a little frightened and a little relieved. The contradiction was severe
.
Liu Ling looked at Luan Ying, who had her head lowered, and said softly: "You are too kind and have no scheming. You have suffered a lot in the past? Although Master Ye doesn't care about worldly things, he is much calmer and smarter than you.
Now that everyone is in trouble, I have no choice but to think of another way. You... should accompany everyone and live a safe and peaceful life in Jinzhou."
Luan Ying suddenly raised her head and asked, "Are you...looking down on me?"
Liu Ling choked and smiled bitterly: "Do you think I look down on you?"
Luan Ying's body trembled slightly, and she suddenly thought of the words Liu Ling said twice before, I'm afraid it will hurt you. Her face turned red again, and she thought a little sweetly in her heart, he doesn't look down on me,
It's because you're worried about me.
But she was so competitive that she pouted and said, "You just look down on me!"
Ye Xiuning said softly: "Xiaoying, don't mess around."
Ye Ping'an also held Luan Ying's hand and said, "Sister, Your Majesty, that's not what he meant."
Luan Ying said anxiously: "Why are you all siding with him? We are in the same group!"
Xiaopingan said crisply: "Sister said that we only stand on the side of truth."
Luan Ying choked, glared at Ye Ping'an fiercely and said: "The adults are talking about important things, children, please don't interrupt! If you talk again, I will throw you off this carriage."
Ye Ping'an curled his lips and said: "You are unreasonable and will only scare people!"
Liu Ling smiled softly, looked into Luan Ying's eyes and asked seriously: "Have you really thought about it?"
Luan Ying nodded and said: "I should be the one to do the White Lotus Sect's affairs. I don't want to see you kill too many people. Most of the people in the sect are kind-hearted. With the prince's decree, more than ten states of the Han Dynasty will be destroyed."
There will be rivers of blood. If I can help the prince to quell this matter without killing innocent people, it will be a great merit."
Liu Ling hummed and said: "Since you have made up your mind, I will arrange for people from the Supervisory Yuan to help you after returning to Xiangzhou. However, there is one thing you have to understand. Necessary ruthless means must still be used.
Blind advice and concessions will not solve the problem. If you don't want to kill people, leave it to the people in the Control Yuan. I will transfer one of the twelve golden clothes of the Control Yuan to help you. In addition, if you need the manpower of the Control Yuan in each state,
, you can call them all. If necessary, I will give you the right to call on five small flag soldiers and horses."
Luan Ying was stunned and said: "Five small flags? Five thousand troops?"
Ye Ping'an smiled and said: "Sister, do you want to be a general?"
Luan Ying glared at her, still unable to believe her ears.
"There were originally thirteen golden robes in the Overwatch Council, but one of them was lost in Kaifeng four years ago. Now there are still twelve golden robes, and the cultivation level of each of them is not inferior to yours. One of them will eventually have to take off the golden robes.
With the identity of Jin Yi, I can work peacefully in the imperial court, so the position of Jin Yi is vacant. I wonder...are you interested in becoming the Jin Yi supervisor of the Han Oversight Council?"
He explained: "There are six departments in the Oversight Yuan. Jin Yi's status is equivalent to that of the head of the six departments. Second only to the commander of the Oversight Yuan, he can mobilize a certain number of supervisory guards. With this status, you can do things
It will also be much more convenient.”
Luan Ying's eyes widened and she asked: "You really... want me to be an official? Can women also be officials?"
Liu Ling said with a smile: "Why can't women be officials? The third stall of the Supervisory Yuan is a strange woman named Chen Ziyu. There is also a woman with astonishing cultivation among the Twelve Golden Clothes. Xi said to herself, "Is there still a woman in the Han army?"
There is a female general Pan Jinlian who is as good as any man. You are a woman, do you also think that women are inferior to men?"
Luan Ying raised her chin and said, "Who said that? Why are women inferior to men!"
Liu Ling smiled and said, "Okay, do you agree?"
"Is there really a female general?"
"Really, she is now the wife of Zhou Yangong, the chief political scholar of the Imperial Military Aircraft Department... General Pan Jinlian saved Zhou Yangong's life. The two of them got married, which is... they are a perfect match."
Liu Ling's face turned slightly red.
Luan Ying thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll be the second female general of the Han Dynasty."
Everyone in the carriage smiled heartily, but after Ye Xiuning smiled, there was a faint worry in her eyes that fleetingly disappeared.
Liu Ling got off the carriage of the three women and returned to his car. He leaned against the carriage and took a deep breath before relaxing. He first wrote a warrant and sent it to Jinzhou to give it to Zhao Da, telling him
Zhao Da asked Luan Ying to take over Xie Huanran's identity in Jinyi. He then asked Zhao Da to arrange personnel to assist Luan Ying in solving the White Lotus Sect matter, and then transferred Xi Ziyan back from Fuzhou to help her. After the arrangements were made, Liu Lingshu Zhang
For a moment, he leaned his body against the soft carriage, and an expression of relief and joy gradually appeared on his face.
It seemed that he was very happy.
Another thing has been solved, why are you not happy?
As for the woman named Luan Ying... Liu Ling still felt a little apologetic in her heart. He pretended to be asleep on her lap like a baby, and secretly wrote the word "sorry" in her hand, which was silent in her heart.
Planting a seed does seem like his scheming is too deep. But it is undeniable that Liu Ling will not let her encounter any danger again.
From the moment he stood in front of her, it would never happen again. (To be continued)
