As soon as Yun Puzi opened the door and walked into the courtyard, he saw Yao Xishui in palace clothes standing in the courtyard with a murderous look, with a dagger peeking out of his wide sleeves.
He was startled, quickly closed the courtyard door, and asked, "Why did Miss Yao just barge into my Chongfu Temple without sending anyone to say hello?"
Yao Xishui turned over and held the dagger, stared at Yun Puzi and asked, "How can you convince me that you are not a secret spy from Xuzhou?"
"..." Yun Puzi was stunned for a long time, then stared at Yao Xishui in surprise and asked, "Where did Miss Yao start talking about this?"
Seeing that Yun Puzi's expression didn't look fake, Yao Xishui put away the hidden sword in her hand and opened the courtyard door to leave Chongfu Temple, as if she had sneaked in just to ask this question out of nowhere.
Yun Puzi also lost his temper, his long snow-white eyebrows pulsing with anger. He stopped Yao Xishui and asked, "Miss Yao comes and leaves whenever she wants. Do you really think that my temple of worshiping blessings is like a deserted place?"
If Miss Yao doesn’t make it clear today and doesn’t give the old Taoist an explanation, then if she steps into Chongfu Temple again in the future, don’t blame me for turning against the old Taoist!"
"You really don't know who I just met in the city?" Yao Xishui asked.
Yun Puzi looked at Yao Xishui suspiciously for a while and asked, "If ordinary people wouldn't call Miss Yao so abnormal, could it be that Han Qian is in Jinling?"
Yao Xishui was stunned for a while. If it weren't for Yun Puzi's appearance, she would have suspected that Yun Puzi was acting, and said: "Yes, Han Qian is not only in Jinling, he also threatened to get the Queen Mother's edict from us.
So that he can lead the Xuzhou water camp to the east."
Yun Puzi seemed shocked by the news, and after a long while he asked belatedly: "There are only three or four thousand troops in Xuzhou. Even if he can get the edict from the Queen Mother, how confident can he be that he will not retreat to Xuzhou after the war?"
Are you going to the state? Could it be that he has already found out the life experiences of your siblings and is threatening them to join him?"
"He may not have found out the life experiences of my brother and sister, but he already knows that my brother is secretly communicating with us." Yao Xishui said.
"I'm not surprised at this," Yun Puzi said, stroking his white beard, "You always think that you are concealed enough, but think about how Han Qian created Secret Cao Zuosi, Jinyun Tower, to collect intelligence and analyze
Intelligence. At this time, you don’t even know how many people are secretly lurking in Xuzhou in Jinling City. Do you think that all kinds of calculations allowed Li Zhigao to command the Forbidden Army in Huaibei? There is really no flaw in Han Qian’s eyes? "
"Taoist Master Yun, tell me where we might expose our flaws?" Yao Xishui asked.
How could Yun Puzi not understand that Yao Xishui's question was still probing? He gave her an unhappy look and said: "Miss Yao, let me tell you something that you and Lu Qingxia don't want to hear. This world is based entirely on conspiracy."
It won't work, otherwise, the previous dynasty wouldn't have been destroyed. If you and Lu Qingxia don't believe that I can keep the secret, just ask Lu Qingxia to send me a pot of drunken spring brew."
Yao Xishui was exposed by Yun Puzi's scheme, but he had no mental barriers and continued to ask: "What has the man from Changxin Palace done recently?"
"Both Empress Li and Concubine Huang gave birth to children. In addition, the Shu army launched a military provocation in Wuchuan, and Changxin Palace was even more marginalized. As for what Princess Qingyang was thinking, what else was there?
I’m sorry for the inconvenience of Lao Dao saying more about my plan. After all, she is also Lao Dao’s old friend. Lao Dao stayed in Maoshan to recuperate in the past few years, and he never thought about ruining your affairs. Even though the Marquis of Qianyang looked down upon me in every possible way.
, but this time he is planning something with you, what you decide is a matter between you and the Marquis of Qianyang, and I will not spoil his affairs with you without any reason - so, I think you should also be able to understand me." Yun Pu.
After saying these words, Zi kept silent, displaying the high consciousness and noble sentiments of a political broker.

On the river outside Yandangji, a awning boat came slowly from the mouth of the river.
The moonlight shines on the river, and the water is rippling.
Han Qian sat on the bow of the boat and looked at the snow on the shore.
Xi Rong sat next to him and said: "The amount of information you revealed at once was too huge and shocking. Even if you didn't mention the life experiences of brother and sister Li Zhigao and Yao Xishui, Lu Qingxia and Yao Xishui never thought that there would be
So many secrets have fallen under your eyes. If I were one of them, I would be extremely calm without any confusion at this time, but I still have to verify it with many parties, and even send someone across the river to see Li Zhigao.
The final decision——I’m afraid I won’t be able to give a clear answer tonight?”
"Lv Qingxia has been obsessed with conspiracies and calculations her whole life. All she needs to do is help her straighten out her logic," Han Qian said. "You will find that cooperating with me at this time is the best choice."
Xi Rong still didn't believe that this matter could really be so certain, and said: "I think that Yao Xishui is very persistent in your vigilance, and her mind may be more paranoid and suspicious than people like Lu Qingxia, and it is really more difficult to deal with; not to mention
The shock you gave her today was really too deep, I'm worried that you might have gone a little too far."
"It's not easy to grasp the right balance," Han Qian said with a smile, "But what do you think Yao Xishui has accomplished in these years? She can't decide anything."
Xi Rong asked: "If you hadn't sent someone over to contact you tonight if you couldn't wait for the Queen Mother's edict tonight, wouldn't the bluffing momentum you pretended before be exposed at once?"
"Do you want me to make a bet?" Han Qian asked.
"I won't bet with you." Xi Rong glanced at Han Qian and said.

There is a cross river on the south side of Yandangji, and there is a painting boat moored on the north bank of the cross river.
At this time, a dark figure jumped onto the bow of the boat, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "There is a boat sailing into Yandangji from the mouth of the river. There are two people on the stern rowing, and two people sitting on the bow. There are dozens of secret sentries lurking on the west bank, and there are people upstream.
The two boats are quite suspicious, but no manpower has been found on the east coast..."
The carved windows of the boat were covered with black cloth, and nothing could be seen outside, but a huge candle burned in the cabin, making it as bright as day.
"There is no flaw in Yun Puzi's words, but they are not trustworthy."
Yao Xishui stood behind Lu Qingxia, still insisting on his opinion at this time.
It seems that choosing to cooperate with Xuzhou at this time is the best choice, but Han Qian is too scheming, and why Yao Xishui dare not forget the consequences of seeking skin from a tiger.
At this point, so many secrets that they thought would not be leaked were exposed to Xuzhou's eyes. Then the secrets of her brother and sister's life experience must have been hidden from everyone as they meant.
Didn't Han Qian become even the slightest bit suspicious?
She had not worried about this in the past, but after what happened today, her confidence was shaken.
Han Qian's calculation was so gloomy that they could hardly imagine it.
And this directly determines the choice they make next.
If Han Qian didn't know the secret of her brother and sister's life experiences, maybe it would be a good choice to cooperate with them.
However, if Han Qian actually knew what the fundamental purpose of their secret operation for so many years was, and he had known that the two sides would one day completely break up, then who knows whether there is something deeper hidden in Han Qian's plan.
, what is the intention against them?
Just like before today, who would have thought that Wen Ruilin would be the secret room of Liang Guo, and who would have thought that Han Qian had already known its secret, but kept it secret, and has been secretly waiting for such an opportunity?
How many people in the world can scheme against Han Qian?
Instead of looking for cooperation with Han Qian, Yao Xishui advocated using the Queen Mother's edict to go to Liyang Hou Yang En and Shen Yang to persuade them to adopt another strategy that would exclude Xuzhou even if they had to pay a heavy price to alleviate the current crisis. plan.
Han Qian wants to return to Xuzhou, so just let him go.
"There will be no problem with Yun Puzi, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to walk into Zhigao's house in the first place. And Han Qian is so calculated that he will definitely prevent us from bypassing him to contact Shen Yang, Yang En - Changchun Palace "It's very possible that Han Jun showed his flaws, and on Zhigao's side, we did do a little more tricks in his command of the North Coast Forbidden Army. It is inevitable that Han Qian will see the flaw," Lu Qing said Xia said softly, "Besides, Han Qian is a scheming and ruthless person. Since he can sit back and watch tens of thousands of naval forces destroyed in Hongzepu, and today he does not get the Queen Mother's order, who knows how he will mess up the situation? Now that he can't wait to return to the center, the situation is always in our favor..."
Hearing what Lu Qingxia said, Yao Xishui couldn't persuade him anymore.
Since she believes that Han Qian is a man who can do anything, if Han Qian really knows the secret of her brother and sister's life experience and excludes Xuzhou and Han Qian this time, who knows what he will use this matter to do?
Maybe asking Han Qian to return to the center is also an option. After all, the Queen Mother is the bargaining chip in their hands. Based on this, they already have enough advantages.
"Let's go see Han Qian." Lu Qingxia said to Chun Shisanniang and asked her to tell the boatman to sail to Yandangji.

Han Qianzhuo stood on the bow of the boat and watched the boat approaching.
At this time, the curtains of the boat were opened, the candlelight was strong, and several lanterns were picked out, which together with the moonlight shone on the beauty in palace dress at the bow of the boat.
Lu Qingxia looks like an old woman who must not be younger than fifty years old, but she is currently wearing a green cotton shawl, and under the moonlight, she looks like a beautiful woman in her thirties, standing at the bow of the ship.
This was Han Qian's first time seeing Lu Qingxia's true face, which had been hidden under the black veil all year round, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"The Empress Dowager issued an edict: Your Majesty was young and energetic, but was deceived by traitors and acted rashly. As a result, the Five Tooth Army on the left and right suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy deaths. All their vehicles and ships were destroyed. The capital had no shield. One hundred thousand forbidden troops hung alone in the north of the Yangtze River. There were The family is in danger. Han Qian, the Marquis of Qianyang, is resourceful and resourceful, and has saved his country from danger many times. He is deeply trusted by the Ai family. Therefore, this edict is specially given. Han Qian, the Marquis of Qianyang, recruits brave generals and leads Xuzhou soldiers, horses, and ships to the Jianghuai River to resist the enemy invaders. I thought the Great Chu vassal screen admired this."
Chun Shisanniang walked across the boat from the steps and showed the Queen Mother's edict to Han Qian.
Feng Yi took over the imperial edict. In order to prevent Lu Qingxia and the others from tampering with the empress dowager's edict, he took out the old edict that Xuzhou had received. After comparing it carefully, he said to Han Qian: "It is indeed the empress dowager. Both the handwriting and the seal are correct."
"It is written in my own hand and the seal is correct. You don't have to recognize it," Han Qian smiled slightly, cupped his hands towards Lu Qingxia and said, "From now on, we will all serve before the Queen Mother Fengjia. We should put aside our past grudges and work together, but my human nature Being paranoid, I had to be on guard against Madam Lu’s backup plans. Even though Xuzhou held the edict from the Queen Mother, there was no one to pass it on. After all, it was difficult to win the trust of the people in both the government and the public. I could only ask Thirteen Niang to stay with me as a guest for a few days. ."
"..." Chun Shisanniang was slightly startled. She didn't expect that when she boarded the ship to deliver the edict, she would be held hostage by Han Qian. Her beautiful eyes glared and she was about to yell out a scolding.
"Thirteenth Mother, then you can serve Mr. Han for a few days." Lu Qingxia said calmly.
