In the past, Jinyiwei was not so notorious. As a violent organization with the highest legitimacy, there were actually many people in the world who were loyal to the imperial court.
But roughly after Meng Yuan took over as the commander of the Jinyiwei, the style of the Jinyiwei changed drastically. They committed all kinds of deceit and abduction, and there were many examples of people breaking their promises and getting rich and destroying Guo through fake means. I don’t know how many people fell into this old man’s scheme one after another.
However, although Jin Yiwei's reputation and credibility have been completely ruined in the world, there is still no shortage of people who are willing to cooperate.
The reason is that the first reason is that interests are too important. People who look down on glory and wealth may not necessarily look down on power and status. People who look down on power and status may not necessarily look down on magical secrets. There are no saints in this world. Everyone There are weaknesses.
And the second thing is, of course, they are overconfident. Masters in martial arts have always been arrogant. When everyone felt that they would not be the next unlucky ones to be played by Jin Yiwei, Mr. Meng had already put their names on the silence list. .
And Lu Hanjiang, who inherited all the good qualities of Commander Meng Yuan, naturally implemented this kind of principle of conduct perfectly. Killing Qingyou was an expected plan. Can a person like this, who knows the secret and is of little use, keep it for the New Year?
Of course, Lu Hanjiang is not without purpose. He has two main purposes for doing this. One is to provoke conflict between the Beggar Clan and Lingyue. Now that there is more and more evidence, even if both parties can bear this tone, they don't have to worry about it. Make enemies.
Secondly, he calculated the time and estimated that it was almost time for Caiwei to return to Miao territory. In order to ensure that his lies would not be exposed, these two people were determined not to stay.
"Sir, everything has been taken care of according to your instructions."
Bian Guang changed his sword back to a sword before coming to see Lu Hanjiang. The feeling of powerlessness really made him a little uncomfortable, but fortunately the task was successfully completed.
"The Beggar Gang must be having a headache now. The sword-wielding murderer suddenly used a Gu technique."
As he said that, Lu Hanjiang filled the chessboard with the chess pieces in his hand, and the five black stones formed a line. Although Bian Guang had never seen this method before, he felt admiration in his heart. As expected of an adult, he even played chess like this. Unique.
"My lord, you say yes. Even though there are many ethnic groups in Miao that are good at voodoo, life-seeking voodoo is unique to the Lingyue clan. I believe the two elders will soon suspect them." Bian Guang smiled treacherously.
"This is not enough."
Lu Hanjiang stared at the five pieces in a row on the chessboard and said calmly: "You pick a few more lone disciples of the Beggar Clan and handle them carefully. You can leave one or two flaws in the wounds and create some cover-up flavor to make the Beggar Clan feel , in fact, there is no mysterious swordsman at all, the murderer is the Miao people."
"I understand!" Bian Guang responded.
The most taboo thing about acting in secret is having someone guess your intentions, so the muddier the water, the easier it will be for the Jin Yiwei to do their job. Even if their identity is exposed in the end, no one will know what they want to do.
After receiving the instructions, Bian Guang was about to retreat when someone outside announced: "Sir, Cui Baihu is back."
Cui Yixiao was the first person sent to Miao territory. Now he should have returned with a lot of information. After hearing the news, Lu Hanjiang put down his chess piece: "Let him in."
Cui Yixiao, who was dressed in a dusty body, quickly bowed loudly after entering: "I have seen you in this humble position."
"Get up and talk."
Lu Hanjiang sat upright for a moment and asked, "Other than finding the Valley of Death and Farewell, what else have you gained?"
"Several things happened in the Valley of Death. I met Ji Baihu in my humble post, and also met Baiduweng, and..."
Cui Yixiao took a deep breath, with an expression that was one-third doubtful and one-third fearful, and said word by word: "Huangfu Yushu is dead."
As soon as these words came out, the air fell into dead silence. Bian Guang's eyes widened in disbelief. Lu Hanjiang's face flashed with surprise, confusion, hesitation, and finally calmed down.
"......what did you just say?"
Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, stared at Cui Yixiao and said: "Liang Benlang is still on the way here, unless there are other masters who are not weaker than him besides Yan Fengyun in the Beggar Gang... ....Could it be the work of Xuantian’s disciples?”
"neither."
Cui Yixiao felt chills behind his back when he was stared at by those eyes. He quickly lowered his head, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said in panic: "It's not what you think, that Huangfu Yushu... committed suicide."
Lu Hanjiang raised his brows slightly: "Tell me in detail."
"Yes, Beizhi followed the Lord's order to find the location of the Dead Farewell Valley. A few days after entering the valley, Huangfu Yushu arrived. After that, Beizhi carefully hid himself from being discovered by him. Then the Beggar Gang and Ji Baihu arrived, and then Huangfu Yushu discovered that Ji Baihu was actually..."
Having said this, Cui Yixiao looked up at Lu Hanjiang with lingering fear. Seeing that the other party had no intention of blaming him, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Huangfu Yushu discovered that Ji Baihu was his sister. The two of them and the Beggar Gang After the fight, the Xuantian Sect also took action secretly."
"Xuantian Sect...heh, they are here for Huangfu Yushu." Lu Hanjiang smiled slightly, his eyes somewhat meaningful.
"Your Excellency, you are really good at predicting things," Cui Yixiao flattered him without leaving a trace, and continued: "The Xuantian Sect's target is Huangfu Jade Book, but the poisonous arrow they used accidentally injured Ji Baihu."
Lu Hanjiang hummed and asked calmly: "What next?"
Seeing that Mr. Lu didn't pay much attention to Huangfu Xiaoyuan's affairs, Cui Yixiao was puzzled, but he didn't dare to speculate more, and hurriedly replied: "I don't know much about what happened next. I only know that Ji Baihu was raped by Huangfu Yushu." I took him to find Poisonous Poison Man, and then he committed suicide for unknown reasons."
After Lu Hanjiang listened, he did not continue to ask questions. He leaned back on the chair and began to think quietly. Cui Yixiao said cautiously: "Ji Baihu is guarding the tomb of Huangfu Yushu now. I don't know that she is related to Baiduweng." What kind of deal was reached, and that old man came forward to open the maze in the valley, making it impossible for the Beggar Clan to enter, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to get out."
Lu Hanjiang didn't say anything, but Bian Guang asked: "Since the Dead Farewell Valley is blocked by the maze formation, how did you get out?"
"To tell you what my lord is saying, I took the initiative to show up to find Ji Baihu..."
Seeing Bian Guang's expression was different, he quickly explained: "Don't worry, sir. Only Huangfu Yushu knows the identity of Ji Ning's Baihu in Farewell Valley. Now that he is dead, I have not revealed his identity."
Lu Hanjiang pondered for a moment and asked: "Based on your judgment, how many days will it take for Yan Fengyun to break the maze in the valley?"
Cui Yixiao thought for a while and replied: "The maze in the valley is not complicated, it is mostly a deception. If they want to leave, it will take... at most five days."
Lu Hanjiang stood up and cast his deep gaze on him: "That's not enough. I want you to hold Yan Fengyun back for at least ten days. Is there any way to do it?"
Cui Yixiao's expression changed several times. He knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely live up to your expectations in this humble position."
"If this matter is handled well, I will promote you to Deputy Qianhu after returning to Beijing."
After waving the ecstatic Cui Yixiao to retreat, Lu Hanjiang ordered Bian Guang: "Go and tell Liu Yishou that I will give him another five days to find the branch of the Xuantian Sect. Now Yan Fengyun is trapped in the Valley of Death. The other Beggar Clan disciples have too much time to take care of themselves, and Lingyue Miaojiang's attention will slowly shift to them. The Chamber of Commerce in the city has its own Xiangyun account to suppress them. This is the best opportunity to deal with the Xuantian Sect."
"I accept my order from my humble position!"
