This meeting with Meng Yuan made Lu Hanjiang understand a lot of things at once. Unfortunately, the old man still didn't tell him his final trump card. He just gave him a perfunctory sentence of "I will know when the time comes."
But probably as compensation, Meng Yuan still told Lu Hanjiang two irrelevant things.
One is that after Meng Yuan was plotted by the Xuantian leader, he did not hide in the world as they thought, but hid in the capital openly, right under their noses.
The reason why Wen Kongheng, a guy who seemed ruthless but actually loved his son passionately, did not get angry immediately after Wen Jinzhi fell into prison was because the old man was secretly angry with him.
It should be said that the old man is worthy of being the commander of Jinyiwei for decades. The dragnet in Beijing is easy to deal with others, but if it is used to deal with him, it will have no effect at all.
Not only did the old man hide in the capital from the beginning, but he also sneaked into the palace early to meet with His Majesty. Because Meng Yuan was in the capital, no matter how excessive Lu Hanjiang and the royal guards did, the emperor never cared.
This time, Jin Yiwei was able to follow Yue Qing's lead to this small courtyard, and it was because the old man had already planned to meet Lu Hanjiang, so he deliberately let Yue Qing appear in Jin Yiwei's sight.
Of course, for the old man to be able to keep abreast of the world's affairs in the capital, he naturally needed help from someone within Jinyiwei. As Lu Hanjiang did not expect, this person was Xu Le from Nanzhen Fusi.
In this regard, the old man was also speechless. He also specifically told Lu Hanjiang about this matter: "Xu Zhenfu is a very capable person, but he always does things badly. This time I accept his favor, you Just don’t embarrass him.”
Xu Le was indeed very good at martial arts and was very effective in doing things, but he had some problems with his brain. When the old man came to power, he didn't understand Meng Yuan's meaning and wanted to bet on both ends, so he helped Qiao Shifang, which made him very miserable afterwards. Not welcome.
Now that Lu Hanjiang is in power, he helps the former commander hide the current commander. Meng Yuan naturally feels that he values friendship, but if it were Lu Hanjiang, he might have a grudge in his heart.
Moreover, Meng Yuan himself was quite speechless about this matter. He thought that Xu Le would tell Lu Hanjiang about it immediately after seeing him for the first time, and then everything would take its course.
Who would have thought that he would start to value friendship at this time, not only delivering information for Meng Yuan, but also helping to hide the truth.
If it had been Meng Yuan, I'm afraid he would have felt that Xu Le was not very smart, but after all, he was loyal, so he simply asked for a favor for him, lest Lu Hanjiang think of him one day and kick him directly Kicked him.
"Xu Zhenfu" Lu Hanjiang's mouth twitched: "Okay, it's not a big deal anyway. Old man, you have already spoken, and this matter will be over."
Xu Le's matter was over, but there was another thing mentioned by Meng Yuan, which surprised Lu Hanjiang a little.
The Thousand-faced Dharma King of Xuantian Sect died in the hands of Meng Yuan.
The death of the Thousand-faced Dharma King was very dramatic. That night, the masters of the East Palace surrounded and suppressed the thieves who had secretly sneaked into the suburbs of Beijing. In the end, the Crown Princess used unknown means to block Tao Yuanlang's sword from the Jin Yiwei.
Meng Yuan originally didn't care about the actions of the East Palace, but when he learned that the person in the imperial army who was thrown out to block the sword was Tao Yuanlang, he couldn't sit still.
On the one hand, this person was a chess piece chosen by His Majesty. If Lu Hanjiang accidentally chopped his head off directly, His Majesty would probably have a hard time explaining it.
On the other hand, this person is still of great use. Since Meng Yuan has decided to make a desperate move, the issue of the Forbidden Army is the top priority. Once Tao Yuanlang is gone, it will be easy for His Majesty to choose other people.
Tao Yuanlang is an obedient idiot. His Majesty is very satisfied because he is obedient and easy to control and will not cause too much trouble. Meng Yuan is also very satisfied because it is not difficult to get rid of such an idiot at a critical moment. high.
So that night Meng Yuan also appeared near Xiaoxianyuan on the outskirts of Beijing. His idea was to save Tao Yuanlang's life at the critical moment.
But he didn't expect that Yan Feng had gone wrong somewhere. A large group of people searched in the completely opposite direction for a long time, causing Meng Yuan to follow the group in a large circle.
As a result, by the time they found the place, the battle was over. There was only one eunuch left in the East Palace. Tao Yuanlang came with people to protect him. Then the other eunuch was angered by Yan Feng, and the two fought again.
Seeing that Yan Feng did not kill him, Meng Yuan planned to leave, but what he did not expect was that the thief who had already escaped actually returned. It was only then that he discovered that the person who had the audacity to sneak into the capital this time , turned out to be the Thousand-faced Dharma King of Xuantian Sect.
The next thing was simple. I don't know what the Thousand-faced Dharma King was thinking. This time, he didn't even bring a clone with him, and just let Meng Yuan take it down with a single blow.
Before he died, the Thousand-faced Dharma King knew that there was no hope of survival, so he simply vomited it all out for the sake of pleasure——
"Meng Yuan! You hypocritical villain! You pretend to be like that on weekdays, but secretly you are just like those old immortals who hide all those treasures in their hands!"
The Thousand-faced Dharma King, who had broken a leg, was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out. The ferocious eyes under the mask were staring at Meng Yuan, and he even cursed loudly: "The way to immortality is the most ridiculous theory in the world! Sooner or later, you will die without a burial. Land! I’m waiting for you down there!”
Meng Yuan chopped off the head of the Thousand-faced Dharma King with a single blow. This time the other party could no longer pretend to be a ghost as usual. This time he died, he was really dead.
But Meng Yuan was puzzled by what the other party said before he died. He looked down at the headless corpse of the Thousand-faced Dharma King and frowned: "What a mess?"
The King of Thousand Faces is dead, and the Xuantian Sect has lost another arm, but Meng Yuan told Lu Hanjiang that this is not worth mentioning. If His Highness has prepared for the worst, then one or two martial arts masters are the least important. Urgent.
It now seems that the Xuantian Cult Leader relies most on the three demon generals and the Fourteen Guardians. These people were the backbone of the Cefeng Army back then. Of course, it would not be a concern if they were to go it alone, but with the current size of the Xuantian Cult, It cannot be underestimated.
"The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. If they suddenly start an attack, I'm afraid we will be passive. We might as well strike first." Lu Hanjiang said seriously.
Meng Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean, let the Shangguan family expose the matter?"
Lu Hanjiang spread his hands and said, "We can say whatever we want in private, but if we want the adults in the court and the whole world to believe it, evidence is indispensable."
Meng Yuan looked at him deeply: "Then you'd better take action after the twenty-fifth day. At that time, there are only three days left before the year-end ceremony. Your Majesty has the will but is powerless."
"Boy, I understand." Lu Hanjiang grinned.
