After letting Yuan Fang into the house, the door was immediately closed. I saw a faintly glowing night pearl floating on the table in the middle of the dim room.
However, the night pearl only illuminated two or three feet of the surrounding area, which reflected the faces of Han Yao, Tian Lianxi, and Zhao Zhengming who were sitting together.
But two or three feet away, it was as dark as the middle of the night, with no light at all. If you look at it from the outside, of course you would think that the people inside the house have already gone to bed and will not attract attention.
After Shi Jiang brought Yuan Fang into the house, he sat on the chair on the west side. Yuan Fang knew that his status could not be compared with the four people sitting here, so he respectfully lowered his hands and stood where the night pearl could not shine.
"Young Master, Senior Brother Tian, Young Master Zhao, Young Master Shi, and their subordinates have been ordered to arrive."
Han Yao nodded, stood up and moved his chair, then pointed to a chair placed in the corner and said with a smile: "Yuan Fang, there are no outsiders here, you don't need to be cautious, quickly grab a chair and sit down."
Yuan Fang is a descendant of the Han family in Ice City. Although he obeyed Han Wenyuan's orders, he became a disciple of the Jiuhua Sect incognito. In name only, he is Han Yao's senior brother. But none of the people sitting there at this moment were outsiders. They still maintained their low status. Facing Han Yao's gesture, they didn't dare to actually move the chairs and sit with the four of them.
"My subordinate, thank you young master for your kindness. I can just stand here. There is no need to sit down. There is no need to sit down."
"Your young master is right, we are all brothers here, you don't need to be polite." Seeing Yuan Fang's continuous refusal, Tian Lianxi stood up and moved the chair, pressed Yuan Fang's shoulders with both hands, and asked him to sit down half-pushed. down.
Zhao Zhengming then poured a cup of tea for Yuan Fang, pushed it in front of him and said: "Han Shaoxing sent you a message at night and asked you to find an opportunity to come and talk about it. I see that you are late, so you must be in trouble. It’s hard to get away.”
Yuan Fang came all the way from Tianluo Peak. He was nervous and walking in a hurry, and he felt a little thirsty already. After holding the teacup in both hands and drinking it all in one breath, he apologized and said, "Young master Zhao is right. Unlike you, my subordinates can live alone in a room. I don't know what Senior Brother Zhang in my room posted today. Crazy, I didn’t go to bed until the end of my practice. I could only wait for him to fall asleep and light the Ecstasy incense before I could take the opportunity to rush here. The tired ones were waiting in a hurry. "
"It's okay, it's okay if you can come." Han Yao said, and poured another cup of fragrant tea for Yuan Fang: "I invite you to come today, but I don't have anything else to do. I just want to ask you, Mu Jingyu It’s been a while since I returned to Jiuhua Mountain. You’ve been delivering food and water to him every day, but have you found anything suspicious?”
Yuan Fang shook his head and said: "It's strange to say that since Mu Jingyu returned to the mountain, he has been locked up in Reflection Cliff without crying or making trouble. Not only has the leader and all the leaders never seen him, but even Guo Qingshan He and Zhou Wenyi, two people who had taken good care of him, have never appeared."
After Yuan Fang finished speaking, he saw Han Yao staring at Ye Mingzhu, saying nothing for a long time, and finally turned his eyes to Tian Lianxi.
"Senior Brother Tian, can you find out what's going on from Master Yuanyang's uncle? Ever since Mu Jingyu returned to the mountain and was imprisoned in Shousi Cliff by the master master, the leaders and the master have not discussed it. How to deal with Mu Jingyu?"
Tian Lianxi said: "Since my grandpa came back, I have tried to ask him about it. I want to know what the head master and several chiefs said in Qingxiao Hall that day. But maybe the head master came down The order was not to let their conversation that day be revealed to the outside world. So... Grandpa has always been tight-lipped and refused to disclose any information. I was afraid that if I asked too many questions, it would arouse the suspicion of his old man, so I had no choice but to give up. "
Shi Jiang said: "If we don't know the intentions of the leaders and heads, this will be difficult to handle."
"But..." Tian Lianxi continued: "Although grandpa doesn't want to say anything more, I think what he means is that the head master seems to have forgiven Mu Jingyu and does not intend to go into details about his secret invasion of the Emei Sect and theft. It’s about Tianxiangmu.”
"Really?" Han Yao was shocked. He tried every possible means to frame Mu Jingyu, just to make him offend Mount Emei and take the blame.
If Master Tianyang decides to protect Mu Jingyu at the expense of offending Mount Emei, not only will his previous efforts be in vain, but it will also affect the plan laid out by Elder Guli, and thus the entire layout.
Zhao Zhengming and Shi Jiang both looked at Han Yao and said, "Young Master Han, if the head master decides to let Mu Jingyu go...then it will be difficult for Elder Gu Li to explain."
Han Yao felt upset for a while, and kept tapping the table with his right fist, showing his irritability. After a while, he turned to look at Tian Lianxi and asked: "Senior Brother Tian, are you still not sure of the showdown with your grandfather Yuanyang Master? If you can persuade him to help secretly at the critical moment, I still have Grasp the path of abandoning Mu Jingyu so that Elder Gu Li's plan can be implemented smoothly."
Tian Lianxi smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Haha, you don't know my grandfather's temperament. He is very loyal to the Jiuhua faction! Once you know that I am collaborating with the Jiuli tribe, let alone follow my advice and act as an internal agent. It’ll be fine if you don’t beat me to death.”
"But...my master Bai Yizhou was persuaded by me. He used his position as the master as bait and agreed to cooperate with Elder Gu Li and the others. Otherwise, we would frequently come in and out of the master's sect, and there would be no way to change the entry and exit books left behind. . If someone with an intention of seeing the clues, the secret would have been exposed long ago."
"Bai Yizhou alone does not hold much weight in the Jiuhua Sect. If there is no support from the leader, it will really be detrimental to our next plan."
As Han Yao spoke, he suddenly leaned into Tian Lianxi's ear and said, "Senior Brother Tian, no matter what, you are the only bloodline of the Tian family. Otherwise, Master Yuanyang's great uncle wouldn't have put so much effort into cultivating you."
Tian Lianxi tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Junior Brother Han, what do you mean..."
Han Yao sat up straight and smiled: "If it really comes to a critical moment, little brother, if I pretend to use you as a hostage...do you think Master Yuanyang, uncle, will surrender and obey our orders because of his soft heart?"
"Is this..." Tian Lianxi thought for a moment and then said: "If there is really no other way, I can give it a try. I think there should be no problem."
Han Yao said with a smile: "Hahaha, with Master Yuanyang's great love for Brother Tian, and if we do things more seriously, are we still afraid that he will not be soft-hearted? As long as the Jiuli tribe's major event is completed, the world will Jiuzhou is all in his hands. At that time, if the Divine Lord can get what he wants, he will definitely try his best to meet your and my requirements and give up the position of the head of the Jiuhua Sect to the great uncle Yuanyang Master. In more than ten years, we will still be able to Why don’t you take advantage of the situation and pass it into the hands of Senior Brother Tian!”
When Tian Lianxi heard the pie drawn by Han Yao, his excited eyes narrowed into lines: "Haha, I hope I can borrow some good words from Junior Brother Han! It's just... you have tried so hard to help the Jiuli tribe, it's not because of Han. The city lord took refuge in the Jiuli tribe, so he had no choice but to do so. Didn’t Elder Guli and others make any promises to you? "
"Little fox, you still want to find out more about me?" Han Yao raised the corner of his mouth, and then pretended to be annoyed and said: "Senior Brother Tian, you also know that I, Han Yao, know that I am stupid and have no ambition. I have been trained since I was a child. After my father forced me to join the Jiuhua Sect, I wanted to complete the tasks he assigned me honestly. Who would have thought that I would meet Senior Sister Su Yingying!"
When talking about Su Yingying, Han Yao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and there was a little drool left at the corner of his mouth, with a look of covetous beauty: "I secretly made up my mind at that time, I must chase her! But how? You know, Mu Jingyu came out halfway and actually won Senior Sister Su’s heart without any effort! Brother, I was like..."
"Hahaha, did you want to kill him at that time?" Tian Lianxi said with a smile: "Brother, I never thought that Junior Brother Han is still a deeply affectionate person!"
Han Yao said: "Hey...junior brother accidentally exposed his sincerity, which made senior brother Tian laugh."
Tian Lianxi thought he had seen Han Yao's true identity. He smiled and put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Junior brother Han, you can achieve great things by not sticking to trivial matters. Now, the overall situation is in our hands. Since the master uncle wants to let go Give Mu Jingyu a hand, in my opinion... You should let Mu Jingyu go for the time being. As long as big things can happen, are you still afraid that Su Yingying can escape from your grasp? "
Han Yao pretended to be taught something and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Tian is right in teaching you. As long as big things happen, Senior Sister Su will definitely not be able to escape from my grasp!"
At this point, Han Yao suddenly raised his head and asked: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. In the morning, I saw Qin Yunchuan returning to the mountain, and I asked Brother Tian to find out more about him. I don't know if What did you find?"
It turned out that when Qin Yunchuan went to Jin Yuanfeng to fill in the book in the morning, he happened to be seen by Han Yao who was rushing to the main hall. Taking advantage of the opportunity to meet Tian Lianxi, let him find a reason to go somewhere and see if Qin Yunchuan discovered anything. More importantly, Su Yingying, Zhou Yan and Shen Mengdie did not return to the mountain together. Han Yao didn't see any trace of them, so he was always worried.
Tian Lianxi said: "Junior Brother Han is worried that Qin Yunchuan will take the opportunity to look at our records of leaving the mountain? Don't worry, my master Bai Yizhou has already taken care of everything and won't let him find out the clues. Besides, Qin Yunchuan won't let him find any clues. Even if I am shrewd, I would never have thought that you and I would have secretly taken refuge with the men in black robes a long time ago."
Although Tian Lianxi kept comforting himself, Han Yao still felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. After all, when he was in the blue water and clouds, in order to win Di Nanxun's trust, he took off his veil and tempted him to go to Mount Emei. Although he had long disguised himself as Tian Lianxi, he was still worried that Mu Jingyu and others would follow this line to find him.
Of course, he didn't tell anyone except Elder Gu Li. It would be okay if the matter was not exposed, but if Tian Lianxi knew about it, it would be difficult for him to explain.
"Senior brother Tian is right. Junior brother is too worried." Han Yao put away his worry and asked: "Then can you ask clearly why Su Yingying and others did not go back to the mountain together? Or is it that they have other reasons? Didn’t you show up?”
Tian Lianxi replied: "I asked about this. Qin Yunchuan said that the master's uncle specially left the three of them and Shi Dahong to practice in seclusion on Tianjue Peak because of the Tao Discussion Conference. As for whether it is true or not, we can't say it. And know it.”
Zhao Zhengming, who had been silent, continued: "I think what Qin Yunchuan said is right. This is the first time that the Dao Discussion Conference is held in the Jiuhua Sect. It is reasonable for the head master to want his disciples to shine. , Mr. Han, please stop being suspicious. Let’s think about what to do next. If we really can’t use Mu Jingyu to provoke a dispute between the Jiuhua Sect and the Emei Sect, it will be hard to explain to Elder Guli. "
"There is a way, let me think about it slowly." After Han Yao finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.
Because Qin Yunchuan was too far away, he could hear very few words. After eavesdropping for a long time, we could only confirm that Han Yao, Tian Lianxi and others had indeed taken refuge with the man in black robe. As for whether Master Yuanyang had also defected to the black-robed man, and whether there were other spies secretly planted by the black-robed man in the Jiuhua sect, etc., he could not hear clearly.
The room suddenly became quiet at this moment. I thought they lowered their voices and were discussing the most important things. Now I walked quietly, wanting to get closer, hoping to hear more useful information.
But he didn't expect that his approach would be immediately noticed by the five people in the room.
