"Consort, you are back."
Princess Yongle walked to the yard and happened to see Qiu Qingyun leaving from the back door. The latter was completely hidden under a cloak, but even so, the girl still felt that this figure seemed familiar.
"Who is that?" Yongle asked curiously.
"Oh, him," Lu Hanjiang thought for a while, but he didn't hide anything. He said directly: "He is here to deliver a letter for Master Meng. Today he learned another secret about your uncle, hehe."
"Uncle, is he okay?" When Yongle heard the news about Meng Yuan, he immediately wanted to go up and call him back for questioning, but he was stopped by Lu Hanjiang.
Nowadays, Lu Hanjiang is not afraid that the news that Meng Yuan is still alive will be "leaked". Anyway, the other party is just "retiring". The more news that Meng Yuan is not dead comes out in the Jinyi Guards, for some people, the more... It's like making a fuss.
He had a deep understanding of this kind of thing. Anyway, what he told Yongle was the truth. Mr. Meng was indeed still alive. As for what others thought, it was none of his business.
Since there was no way to stop the messenger, Yongle could only pester Lu Hanjiang and ask, "Uncle, what did he say in the letter?"
"Let's talk about some homely things," Lu Hanjiang touched his nose and said, "But most of them are his homely things. Princess, don't you know that your uncle was also a romantic young man back then."
Lu Hanjiang said that Yongle was confused, but no matter how the little princess pressed, Lu Hanjiang just found a few words to explain it away. It seemed that he did not intend to tell the truth.
However, this matter cannot be blamed on Lu Hanjiang. He may not be allowed to tell the truth to the little princess. He said that his uncle had so many confidantes back then, but now there is still one who is accompanying your mother in the palace, right?
If the little princess knew about this, the gossip would spread to Meng's house, and the world would be turned upside down.
You must know that although the old man has been in a high and powerful position over the years, his back house has always been very clean. Apart from his first wife, there are basically no other women. He is so clean and self-sufficient that others suspect him of being a good man.
If the Emei sect was brought up, Lu Hanjiang would be worried that the old man would be uneasy at home.
However, the Emei Sect.
Lu Hanjiang rubbed the little princess's head. He seemed very happy to see her sulking, and his eyes quietly fell on her hand.
The jade ring that Aunt Xiu gave to Yongle was still well kept by the other party at this moment, and he did not take it out and wear it carelessly.
No wonder she said that this jade ring can keep you safe. It turns out to be the token of the head of the Emei Sect. Lu Hanjiang thought thoughtfully. Now he finally understood where the confidence of the embroidered aunt in the palace came from.
and--
"Emei Sect, it turns out it's fake, so it's not surprising."
Lu Hanjiang muttered to himself. The story Qiu Qingyun brought not only entertained him in his spare time, but also solved a doubt in his mind, that is, why the head of Emei "Su Xiu Xiu" has such great martial arts skills. So inconspicuous.
In the story told by Qiu Qingyun, when Mr. Meng was in his twenties and thirties, he had no shame to hook up with two underage girls from the Emei sect, but he unexpectedly incurred a romantic debt.
Although Lu Hanjiang was very curious about how the old man deceived the girl back then, but unfortunately Qiu Qingyun didn't know the specific process. After all, the old man was still a playboy at that time, and it was impossible for Mr. Qiu to stay together like he is now.
Qiu Qingyun is also a child of an official family. He and Meng Yuan have known each other since they were young. In terms of family background, the Qiu family is a higher level than the Meng family. Therefore, although Qiu Qingyun has had a good relationship with the old man since he was a child, he cannot always follow him like this. .
Anyway, what Lu Hanjiang finally knew was that the old man successfully abducted one of the most talented disciples of the Emei Sect, Su Xiuxiu, the "Jade Girl Sword" who was so powerful in the North.
Although the head of Emei now calls himself "Su Xiuxiu", from Qiu Qingyun's description, Lu Hanjiang already knows that the other party should actually be called Su Ranran, and her true identity is the twin sister of the "Jade Girl Sword" Su Xiuxiu.
The authentic Jade Girl Sword, the powerful Su Xiuxiu herself in the North, is the Aunt Xiu who is currently accompanying Concubine Meng in the palace.
Speaking of this matter, Lu Hanjiang really admired Mr. Meng. The rules of the Forbidden Palace in the Imperial City were extremely strict, and the eunuchs in the three major factories were not economical.
You know, in the palace, even the lowest-level maid must have a clean life experience. When these things enter the palace, the eunuchs of the three major factories will check them clearly.
The old man was actually able to get a woman from the Jianghu into the palace as a female official in such a grand way under Cao Yuan's eyes, and it has not been exposed for so many years.
Playing is what the old man knows how to play - thinking about this, Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, Meng Yuan's abrupt letter also made Lu Hanjiang a little embarrassed. If he wanted to take out the Emei Sect, his original plan would have to be revised.
At first, his plan was to find out the contradiction between Xuantian Sect and Wudang, bring all these righteous and enthusiastic knight masters with him, and then sweep these masters into the trash can.
There are talented people from generation to generation in the country, and this world should allow the younger generation to perform well. If these old guys don't go home to take care of themselves, what's the matter with blocking the younger generation's disciples from shining.
"Well - forget it, let's do it one by one."
Lu Hanjiang finally gave up the plan of secretly mobilizing troops and horses, and finally turned his attention to the Taoist sect.
This is also a helpless move. The two abbots of the Buddhist Northern and Southern Shaolin School are really out of luck. He really has no good way to deal with them now, so he has to deal with those within reach first.
Lu Hanjiang teased Yongle for a while with the old man's news. After he had enough of admiring the little princess's angry face, he went to call Cui Yixiao with satisfaction.
"Get ready to spread the information about Sword Demon's identity." Lu Hanjiang ordered.
Cui Yixiao bowed and said, "Please tell me how far we should go."
"Let the heat of this matter rise for the time being, but don't make a big fuss before Wudang and Xuantian Sect really start fighting." Lu Hanjiang seemed to have given a contradictory order.
Cui Yixiao reacted immediately after being stunned for a short time: "Your Majesty, do you want me to release some false news first, and then expose the truth when Wudang is deeply involved in the war with the Xuantian Sect?"
"Not bad." Lu Hanjiang nodded.
After receiving Lu Hanjiang's affirmative reply, Cui Yixiao understood that this was similar to when he used Chi Cangping to plot against Wudang. He waited until Wudang was at odds with the demonic path, and then launched the righteous path to stab them in the back.
"By the way, since we want to deceive others, we can simply throw the Xiaoyao Sect out," Lu Hanjiang thought for a while and said, "Let's just say that the true identity of the Sword Demon is actually the chief disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect."
Apart from Wudang herself, Chi Qianyun's identity is probably only known to Qian Xiaoxiaohui, who met her once during the battle with Mount Tai. The latter is now a demonic witch, so naturally no one will believe her words.
Lu Hanjiang didn't think anyone in Wudang knew anything about the Sword Demon. Chi Qianyun's swordsmanship and martial arts were so individual. If Wudang Seventh Master couldn't see it, couldn't Shang Yangzi and Qi Yunzi also see it?
So in the current situation, the only disciple of the Five Sacred Mountains who can reveal the truth about the Sword Demon and die tragically is Wudang himself.
