"Sir, most of the people who came to Xiangyun Trading Company today are Miao people. After checking with me, I found that they are indeed elders of various ethnic groups. No suspicious people were found."
After hearing the report from his men, Lu Hanjiang clicked his tongue twice and said playfully: "The fish won't bite the hook."
The mastermind behind this time was more cautious, but Lu Hanjiang also had enough patience to fight him, because he concluded that the other party would definitely come.
The reason is also very simple. The strange Taoist priest spent great efforts to destroy the Lingyue clan without sparing anyone. Now the most important person, Saint Caiwei, is still alive. It is impossible for the other party to turn a blind eye.
Of course, if the person who does it is just an extremely boring murderer, then just think of it as a battle of wits and courage with the air.
Lu Hanjiang's side was stable and affordable, but Caiwei's side was a bit difficult.
The Miao people who came in recent days were very troublesome for her to deal with. The Lingyue clan was destroyed, Caiwei, the saint, seemed to have become a rootless person, and the status of the great elder was also in danger. However, these were all based on the court politicians. perspective.
In fact, the simplicity of these Miao people was extraordinary. Not only did they not take the opportunity to dream about Caiwei's position as a saint, they even did not even think about the position of great elder that Caiwei held concurrently as an exception.
Because of the miasma that plagued the Miao land, the Lingyue tribe stepped forward. The former chief elder and the saint Caiwei both made great contributions. It can be said that it was their efforts that saved the Miao territory from a disaster. .
In the past few days, what these Miao people have said most to Caiwei is to ask her to return to Miao land immediately to take charge of the overall situation.
Although the Lingyue clan was destroyed, the status of the Saint was still as stable as Mount Tai. Countless Miao people were still willing to let Caiwei lead the Miao land, which surprised Lu Hanjiang.
"Miss Caiwei's prestige has surpassed that of the former Great Elder, congratulations." Lu Hanjiang offered tea instead of wine and raised a glass of congratulations.
Caiwei smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master is joking, Caiwei is just taking advantage of the legacy of his predecessors."
"Miss Caiwei, there is no need to be modest. You are now deeply loved by the Miao people. These people's hearts may not be worth mentioning to you, but to others, they are a treasure that can only be obtained. I hope that the girl will be able to do this." , just be more careful." Lu Hanjiang warned.
This is definitely good advice. Lu Hanjiang's advice to Caiwei is indeed out of good intentions. After all, for him, instead of replacing an ambitious man to mess up the Miao territory that has been regarded as the rear by Jin Yiwei, it is better to let Caiwei continue to lead Miao. Man, at least he doesn’t have to worry about it.
"Caiwei has remembered Mr. Lu's words."
After Caiwei cupped her fists and learned the lesson, a look of worry appeared on her brows again: "One more thing. Young master, why do you think those people haven't made any move even after the news has been released for many days? But Caiwei thinks too highly of herself?"
Caiwei couldn't help but mutter that she had spread the news that she was still alive. Taking advantage of the opportunity to meet with the Miao elders, the news that she, the saint, was still alive spread throughout the Miao territory almost immediately.
According to her estimation, since the other party was so merciless to the Lingyue Clan, he would naturally not let her live well, but after so many days, there was still no news at all.
"Miss Caiwei, please calm down, but it's not an option to keep wasting it like this," Lu Hanjiang thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, maybe the girl can try to adopt some of the words of the elders of various clans."
Caiwei was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking about it carefully, she understood what Lu Hanjiang meant. She said in a serious voice, "What does Mr. Lu mean by letting Caiwei use his plan to fake the flaw in order to attract the man in the dark to reveal himself?"
"That's right." Lu Hanjiang nodded.
Caiwei thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Mr. Lu, this plan is feasible. I will discuss it with the elders."
"Ah, Miss Caiwei, wait a moment, there is something else I need to explain to you."
Lu Hanjiang stopped Caiwei, coughed, and then said: "Miss Caiwei must have heard that the Xiaoyao sect's Yue Lifeng has some relationship with the imperial guards. I will confess to the girl here that this is indeed the case."
Caiwei paused and said calmly: "The various ethnic groups in Miao territory are not Jianghu sects. Even if they are officers and soldiers of the imperial court, there won't be much difference in our eyes. Master Lu, don't worry."
Lu Hanjiang praised: "Miss Caiwei knows how to handle things, and I have a villain's heart. I mentioned this matter to the girl this time because I plan to ambush someone in the dark. I plan to borrow the power of the court."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, Caiwei will explain this to the elders."
After Caiwei finished speaking, she suddenly said seriously: "It's just that Caiwei also has something to explain to the young master in advance. The young master has been very kind to me and to Miao Di. Caiwei holds the position of a saint, but she dare not take the place of her without permission." Hundreds of ethnic Miao people make the decision——"
The saint took a deep breath and solemnly said: "Young Master has been so kind to you. If you ask for anything in the future, Cai Wei will definitely go through fire and water to repay you. But if you want to use this kindness and threaten the people of Miao land to be driven by the imperial court, Cai Wei will It will never be agreed to."
Lu Hanjiang smiled and said: "The girl has a clear distinction between love and hate. I admire you very much. The great elder selected the girl to lead the Miao Territory. She really has a keen eye for discerning pearls. Please rest assured, Miss Caiwei, I have no such intentions."
"Thank you, Master. It's rude of Caiwei to say this, but after all, the stakes are so important that Caiwei has to say it."
After Caiwei finished speaking, she said goodbye. She was going to discuss with the Miao elders about luring the snake out of its cave.
Lu Hanjiang naturally agreed. After sending the other party away, he called Cui Yixiao and other Jinyi guards to arrange manpower.
After listening to Lu Hanjiang's words, everyone had no objections to the plan, and some disputes only existed on the specific implementation.
Cui Yixiao said worriedly: "Sir, the Miao Saintess has a high status and is now very popular among the people. I am afraid she will become a big trouble in the future and we have to be on guard against her."
Everyone can see that Caiwei is popular. Although the saints of all generations are similar, the saints of this generation are obviously better than their predecessors.
And more importantly, Caiwei herself is also extremely good. Not only is she outstanding in martial arts, but although she has few scheming ideas, she has always been very clear-headed on issues of right and wrong. Even in a high position, she has never lost her true heart because of power.
Such a person is worthy of admiration, but for Jin Yiwei, the emergence of such an excellent leader in Miao territory is not entirely a good thing.
Cui Yixiao's words seemed to make Lu Hanjiang prepare for a rainy day. The latter did not express his position after hearing this, but looked down at him, as if to indicate to him to continue talking.
"grown ups."
Cui Yixiao sorted out his words and said in a deep voice: "The Holy Lady of the Miao Territory has a pure heart. She regards adults as her friends. We cannot let this friendship go to waste. As a humble duty, in order to prevent problems before they happen, we might as well Remove some of those Miao elders."
Cui Yixiao's initial idea was to get rid of the saint directly and then replace her with someone easier to control. This was also Jin Yiwei's habit.
Even though Caiwei was almost obedient to Lu Hanjiang in some aspects, this person's position was not stable after all, because she always put the Miao people first, and it was inevitable that she would not have conflicts with Jin Yiwei in the future.
However, Cui Yixiao was not sure about Caiwei's status in Lu Hanjiang's heart. The main reason was that their commander's attitude towards others was too deceptive.
Even if it is a sworn enemy who wants to stab him in the next second, Mr. Lu can still laugh and laugh with him, so Cui Yixiao really doesn't know how important Caiwei, a saint, is in the hearts of adults.
After much deliberation, he chose to be cautious and did not tell his true thoughts. Instead, he took the next best step, advised the adults, killed the Miao elders, and cut off the wings of the saint, ultimately achieving the purpose of weakening the opponent's power.
Regarding Cui Yixiao's idea, Lu Hanjiang didn't hesitate long before he agreed.
However, his focus is different from that of the other party. He doesn't care how much power Caiwei will gain. Now, his interest in the saint herself has far exceeded the meaning behind the existence of the saint. .
The fact that the Holy Spirit Gu was parasitic on Caiwei greatly increased Lu Hanjiang's interest. He even had a sudden idea and had someone quickly deliver the lamp found in Xu Fu's treasure from Beijing.
Lu Hanjiang didn't care about the efficacy of the secret treasures of longevity after they were gathered together. He was now more curious about the uses of these seven things when they were scattered. The changes that took place here in the Holy Spirit Gu made him seem to see the scalability of these secret treasures.
The words were divided into two parts. While Caiwei and Lu Hanjiang were playing their cards, the three demons in the dark finally couldn't hold back anymore.
After many days of inquiring, they had almost confirmed that the Miaojiang Saint was still alive, so at the suggestion of Ke Hentian and Monk Lingyu, the three of them prepared to ambush Caiwei on her way back to the Lingyue Clan to host the funeral.
On this day, the sky was cool and drizzle, and the sad atmosphere seemed to be contagious, making the entire Bishui City look like weeping.
Saint Caiwei and the elders of various ethnic groups in Miao territory set out from the city to the deserted Lingyue tribe to hold funerals for their dead compatriots.
Thousands of guests were sent there by their companions. Most of them were Han people from the Central Plains living in Bishui City. To express their condolences for the tragedy of the Lingyue clan, they all stood in front of the door and the whole city was filled with silence. .
Due to the custom of the Miao people, the Han people who saw her off stopped outside the city, and a Miao team of hundreds of people continued to escort the saint to the Lingyue tribe.
Halfway through, the rain showed signs of intensifying. Saint Caiwei asked everyone to speed up their pace. As a group of people were walking forward, the eyes of a Miao elder suddenly changed. He waved his hand suddenly and slapped the bushes on the side. .
The palm force penetrated the rain curtain, causing the trees to split into pieces. Under the fallen leaves, three figures flashed out from among them.
"There is an assassin! Protect the Saint!"
