The man in black robe stood on the fifth floor and looked into the distance. There was only a gap in the window in front of him, and beyond this gap was the sky.
He didn't speak, and neither did the few people standing behind him.
After a long time, the door of the house creaked open, and a middle-aged man in civilian clothes walked in slowly.
The people in the room looked back at him, but they didn't show much respect and didn't even say hello.
The man in cloth looked at the man in black: "Your Majesty asked me to ask what is going on with you."
The man in black robe looked back at the man in cloth: "Then you go back and ask the prince for me what is going on in Shangyang Palace."
This commoner man is a close confidant of Xie Yelan, his surname is Xiu and his given name is Wanren.
Xiu Wanren is a master in Geling City. He has become famous in the world many years ago. He suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago. Who would have thought that he would devote himself to a run-down prince's palace.
As Prince Ye, it makes sense to have a master like him by his side.
Prince Keye has almost ruined his family business a long time ago, how can he afford to hire him?
There must be other reasons for Xiu Wanren to be by Xie Yelan's side.
Hearing the man in black robe's rhetorical question, Xiu Wanren frowned slightly.
The man in black robe walked a few steps and arrived not far from Xiu Wanren: "The prince is the priest of Shangyang Palace, and he is at the same level as Ai Youyou. Why would Shangyang Palace ruin his affairs?"
Xiu Wanren: "Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Man in black robe: "Because of this coincidence, we lost hundreds of people, all of whom have been practicing hard for ten years. Who should I turn to to settle this account?"
Xiu Wanren: "Shangyang Palace."
Man in black robe: "Then why do you come to ask me?"
Xiu Wanren: "Because you didn't do things well, and you didn't do it well, so naturally you have to ask."
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the man in black robe.
Xiu Wanren didn't care at all.
"I have heard about Yunzhou Jianghu."
Xiu Wanren said in a calm tone: "Some people say that the world has been peaceful for a long time, and there is no blood in the rivers and lakes. Only Yunzhou is the real rivers and lakes."
"But in the past few decades, in the so-called Yunzhou world, there has only been one Yanbei student that people can look up to."
He said: "If Yan Beisheng was still alive, he would probably be able to look at me like this, but you are not qualified."
The man in black robe made no move, but several people behind him couldn't help but want to take action, especially Jiang Qiuse.
"The Crown Prince is not just the Crown Prince."
Xiu Wanren said: "The prince is the adopted son of Concubine Wan Gui, but he has never mentioned it to outsiders, and it is not the right time to mention it to others, so don't let the prince down again, so that you can get everything you want."
He took two steps forward, almost touching the face of the man in black robe, and the two people looked at each other like this.
"If you can understand the truth, you should know that you can't make any mistakes when doing things for the Crown Prince."
The man in black robe was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to signal Jiang Qiuse and the others not to take action.
"What does Crown Prince mean?"
he asks.
Xiu Wanren said: "The Crown Prince will naturally take care of the affairs of Shangyang Palace. You will recover your lost manpower and lost face on your own. The Crown Prince does not expect you to be able to deal with Tuoba Lie, but you will not even be able to deal with Tuoba Lie."
Even Lin Ye can't deal with it."
The man in black robe nodded: "Okay."
Xiu Wanren turned around: "There are not many opportunities."
The man in black robe said nothing.
After Xiu Wanren left, the man in black robe slowly exhaled: "Concubine Wan Gui's ambition is so great."
Emperor Jade doesn't believe anyone, not even his brothers, not even the heroes of the country.
There is only one Concubine Wan Gui in the world who has his favor and trust. He will listen to whatever Concubine Wan Gui says, otherwise Xie Yelan would not be able to come to Yunzhou.
A noble concubine dared to secretly adopt a prince as her adopted son. What could such a thing mean?
The Emperor Jade has no children, but the good thing is that he is not old yet, so this matter is also a concern of the Emperor Jade. However, I don’t know what the methods of Concubine Wan Gui are, and the fascinated Emperor Jade has no interest in other concubines.
However, this Concubine Wan Gui was so favored, but her belly was not up to par, and she only gave birth to a princess, who was only seven years old this year.
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Jade wanted to make her his queen but could not get the chance. As long as she gave birth to a prince, the position of queen would definitely be hers. Even if there was any resistance, Emperor Jade would not be afraid of anything.
"I suddenly thought it through."
The man in black robe looked back at Jiang Qiuse and others and said: "Xie Yelan asked the emperor three times to allow him to come to Yunzhou, not to be a high official in the border area."
"He wants to get rid of Tuoba Lie, not for meritorious service..."
Jiang Qiuse reacted: "He wants to rebel?!"
The man in black robe shook his head and said: "It's not rebellion, it's inheritance. What a big ambition, what a big ambition."
Naturally, Xie Yelan could not do this. No matter how outstanding he was, he would not be the one to succeed to the throne.
But as long as Concubine Wan Gui makes the decision for him, after he arrives in Northern Xinjiang, he will get rid of Tuoba Lie and seize the military power of the Beiye Army.
At that time, if something unexpected happened to the Jade Emperor, wouldn't this opportunity come?
With Wan Guifei supporting him in Geling City, Xie Yelan once again leads the Beiye Army southward, and the overall situation is certain.
The man in black robe was silent for a long time.
"I underestimated him."
Everything Xie Yelan showed at this time was just an illusion.
He was even blocked by Lin Ye in the Qi Barracks, which meant nothing to Xie Yelan at all.
He just pretended to make people think that he cared about the Qi Barracks. What he really cared about was the Kitano Army.
How could he pay so much attention to a mere military camp? This team of more than 10,000 people would be beaten into pieces if they could not reach Geling.
With 100,000 Beiye troops in hand, it would be different. No one in the world is as good at fighting as Beiye.
"My boss."
Jiang Qiuse couldn't help but ask: "Why is Xie Yelan doing all this now? If he wanted to plot against the Beiye Army, he shouldn't have behaved so clumsily."
The man in black robe said: "Yes, we have all seen his clumsiness."
As an imperial envoy specially sent by Emperor Jade, even a fool can figure out the purpose of coming to Yunzhou in Northern Xinjiang.
If he behaves particularly shrewdly and aggressively from the moment he arrives, will Tuoba Lie really be at the mercy of others?
"It's all an illusion."
The man in black robe said: "He must be planning something somewhere we can't see."
The injured Luo Shenfu also understood. He was a little annoyed and said: "He is only using us to show his clumsiness."
The man in black robe nodded: "What he did was all for Tuoba Lie to see."
Jiang Qiuse: "But just because of this, hundreds of our brothers died tragically!"
Black-robed man: "Shangyang Palace rarely asks about Jianghu affairs. The blue-robed man named Chen Weiwei suddenly arrived at the Qi Army Camp. This is obviously a tip-off to Lin Ye."
Jiang Qiuse: "Xie Yelan deliberately revealed the news to Tianshui Ya?"
Luo Shenfu: "He has used us, and now he wants to get rid of us, but he doesn't want to lose his own manpower, so he uses Tuoba Lie!"
The man in black robe fell silent again.
After a long time, he slowly exhaled and said: "It's my fault, I really underestimated him."
Xie Yelan used them to show his clumsiness, and Tuoba Lie saw every scene of this.
Tuoba Lie would naturally look down upon him, and the slightly more respectable people in Yunzhou City would naturally see this clumsiness, so most people laughed at his incompetence.
But these unnecessary chess pieces are just a cover-up.
The man in black robe said: "He used us to attract all Tuoba Lie's attention, so no one will pay attention to what he is doing secretly."
After a while, the hand of the man in black robe grasped the chair next to him, and the armrest gradually turned into powder.
"He treats us like idiots."
Yes, if Xie Yelan has the support of Concubine Wan Gui and his ultimate goal is to become the Jade Emperor, then how could he use the Jianghu forces in Yunzhou City?
The person he really wants to use must be the person assigned to him by Concubine Wan Gui.
When it comes to conspiracies and schemes, the people in Geling City are far superior to the people in Yunzhou.
"Master!"
Luo Shenfu said: "Kill him!"
The man in black robe shook his head: "He may be waiting for us at this time."
At the same time, the city lord's mansion.
The area south of the city is indeed not prosperous, and the city lord's palace is surrounded by rather shabby residential buildings.
When Luo Shenfu brought the gangsters into Yunzhou, they hid in the slums on the east side of the city.
Nowadays, the shabby residential houses near the city lord's palace seem to have the same function.
Who cares here?
Because the City Lord's Mansion is the only eye-catching place here.
Compared to the time when Bu Guxin built the city lord's mansion to be superior, he chose to settle here, which is really a big difference.
He is in the soil, hidden deeper than in the clouds.
At this moment, there are many men in black hiding in the nearby houses, and they are already waiting to be killed.
City Lord's Mansion, in the living room.
Xie Yelan sat there quietly sipping tea. This tea was brought by him from Geling, because the tea here in Yunzhou, no matter how expensive it was, was not in his eyes.
Several people in common clothes stood beside him, no one said anything, he was drinking tea quietly, and they were drinking tea quietly with him.
About half a moment later, Xiu Wanren stepped in from outside, leaned down and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Xie Yelan smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiu."
Xiu Wanren said: "I have already said what I said, but I feel that those people dare not come."
Xie Yelan said: "Don't you dare to come?"
He smiled and said: "That's not bad, it doesn't make me think that they are worthless."
When Xiu Wanren went to the Order Building, when he saw those people, they spoke rudely and had an arrogant attitude, all of which he did deliberately.
On the surface, Xiu Wanren went to put pressure on the Order Building on behalf of Xie Yelan, so that the Order Building could continue its work, and he could even find a way to assassinate Tuoba Lie directly.
But in fact, those reckless people have a high self-esteem, and after being despised and losing hundreds of people, there is a 70% to 80% chance that they will come here to take revenge.
Xiu Wanren said: "The prince still overestimates them. They are really not worth mentioning. They have been used until now, but they haven't woken up yet."
Xie Yelan said: "It's all because of Bu Guxin's mistakes. How could I not take it seriously?"
He got up and walked slowly around the room.
When Bu Guxin came, everyone knew what his goal was.
But where he failed was that Tuoba Lie saw through his true abilities so easily.
Xiu Wanren said: "Your Majesty, people outside are now speculating that the first step is to control Yunzhou Jianghu, and the second step is to control the Qi military camp. All of this is developed according to the prince's speculation."
Xie Yelan smiled and said, "Have our people arrived?"
Xiu Wanren said: "Everything has been arranged. Those idiots won't find anything."
Xie Yelan nodded: "That's good."
He walked around and said, "It's not time for Tuoba Lie to think I'm smart, so I'll have to continue to behave badly."
Xiu Wanren: "Then, what's the next step?"
Xie Yelan: "Prepare the car, I'm going to Tianshui Cliff. If this makes me look stupid, of course I'm going to Tianshui Cliff to make a fuss."
He looked at Xiu Wanren: "Let our people make a move. If the people in the Order Building don't dare to come and kill me, then send a message to Tuoba Lie's people."
"To intercept and kill a blue-robed priest on the way, Shangyang Palace will not take it easy."
He stretched out his hand, and the servants quickly came over and put the brocade clothes on him.
"It would be great if the people in Shangyang Palace happened to find out that Tuoba Lie's people went to kill these people who attacked the blue-robed priest. After all... it is more credible to kill people and silence them."
