Xin Yanque never expected that the first person he saw in Haoyuan would be Zhuang Junji.
Mr. Zhuang did not expect that the first guest he welcomed in this Haoyuan would be Xin Yanque.
The two people sat there facing each other, feeling a little awkward for a moment.
"Why is Mr. Zhuang here?"
"Uh... come play."
Zhuang Junji looked at Xin Yanque: "Why is Mr. Xin here?"
Xin Yanque: "Ah ha ha ha ha... come and play."
The two people looked at each other again, and this time they looked even more embarrassed. People will fake smile when they are embarrassed. The scene when the two of them fake smile at each other is really embarrassing.
Both of them were not stupid, so they understood at this time that the owner of Haoyuan arranged for them to meet on purpose.
Maybe someone was watching somewhere and applauding their awkward fake smiles.
"Let's...be more frank."
Xin Yanque smiled so awkwardly that his face froze, and he decided to be more direct.
"Mr. Zhuang is here under the entrustment of Lin Ye?"
"no."
Zhuang Junji answered simply. After all, his coming here had nothing to do with Lin Ye.
He asked Xin Yanque: "Is Mr. Zhuang here under Lin Ye's entrustment?"
Xin Yanque also shook his head: "No."
Zhuang Jun hummed, and then asked tentatively: "Although you and I are not here because of Lin Ye's entrustment, we are here because of Lin Ye."
Xin Yanque smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhuang came here...for the purpose of the eldest princess?"
Zhuang Junji asked: "Whose intention did Mr. Xin come here?"
Xin Yanque said: "It stands to reason that those who know that they can come here and come at critical times should all be named Xie."
Zhuang Junji came to his senses.
The eldest princess's surname is Xie, and Xin Yanque's surname is of course Xie, so there is no doubt that the emperor knows this place better.
If he speculates according to this, then the master here whom he has yet to see is a supporter of the Xie family, another almost invincible supporter besides the old headmaster.
So...the two most powerful practitioners are on the emperor's side, so how should the opponent play?
When he was in Yunzhou before, Lin Ye had speculated that the emperor used himself as bait to induce Tuoba Lie to reveal his true colors, but at that time the emperor did not bring the old master with him. Lin Ye felt that he left the old master in charge. Songling.
At this time, Zhuang Junji couldn't help but sigh when he remembered Lin Ye's words at that time.
It wasn't that Lin Ye's guess was wrong at that time, but that Lin Ye didn't have access to so many secrets at that time.
Even now, Lin Ye is a general with a large number of troops and a secondary assistant position. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a very popular minister, but there are still many secrets that Lin Ye cannot access.
From this point of view, the old headmaster is the backer on the surface, and the master here is the backer of the Xie family secretly.
The old headmaster inside is not in Geling, and there is still a sea-fixing needle here.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Junji smiled first, and then asked Xin Yan what he was missing.
Xin Yanque sighed: "Mr. Zhuang, please stop smiling. Seeing the look of your fake smile, I will know how... impressive my fake smile just now is."
Zhuang Junji really laughed this time.
"Tell me about it."
Xin Yanque said: "You come, it is the eldest princess who asked you to wait here. Once the situation gets out of control, the eldest princess hopes that the owner here can save Lin Ye's life?"
Zhuang Junji nodded: "Yes."
There is no need to hide this.
Zhuang Junji asked Xin Yanque: "Mr. Xin came here for the same purpose as I did?"
Xin Yanque said calmly: "It's not the same."
After this sentence, the atmosphere between the two people became subtle.
Xin Yanque said: "Mr. Zhuang has been in Geling for a long time, but I still don't know what happened in Geling City. After all, Mr. Zhuang has always been on the island in the middle of the lake."
Zhuang Junji said: "Although I am on the island in the middle of the lake, I know what happened in Geling City. After all, the owner here is hospitable."
This means that the master here knows everything that happens in Geling City and has told him.
Xin Yanque asked: "Then, if the master comes later, can Mr. Zhuang avoid it?"
Zhuang Junji shrugged his shoulders and said: "If the master wants me to avoid it, I will naturally avoid it."
I mean, it doesn’t matter what you say.
At this moment, the pretty little maid walked in from outside with a bright smile on her face.
But Xin Yanque knew that this sunny-looking little girl had a very poisonous mouth.
I asked him outside just now, Master Master, you are wandering around and not coming in, is it because you have no money?
Xin Yanque could remember this sentence for her whole life.
"Two gentlemen, the master of the house invites you to come over."
After finishing speaking, the little girl made a gesture of invitation.
Zhuang Junji stood up, looked at Xin Yanque and said with a smile: "It seems that the master here has no intention of letting me avoid it."
The little girl said: "What are you talking about Mr. Zhuang? Mr. Zhuang is a guest of Haoyuan, and the master is also a guest of Haoyuan. They have the same status. There is nothing to avoid. Anyway, the head of the family is Let’s meet one by one. Which one should I meet first? How about rock, paper, scissors?”
Xin Yanque: "..."
At this time, he was at Stone Bridge Villa.
Wang Luoshen was pacing back and forth in the room. He always felt that he must have overlooked something when this matter developed until now, but he couldn't figure it out.
Since a person like the Emperor can feel at ease and become the governor of the country, he must have made complete preparations in Geling City. What are these preparations?
Wang Luoshen is confident that the assassins in Half a Liang are strong enough and the undead army hidden in Shiqiao Villa is ruthless and brave enough.
Moreover, he still had an unused card in his hand.
Using this card can make the Forbidden Army lose control in a short period of time.
But he still didn't plan to take this last step unless he had to.
Once troops are launched, things will become extremely complicated.
Although he is 70-80% sure about seizing Geling, what about outside Geling?
Things are different now. In the past, the major families seemed to have divided up Dayu.
The person in charge in this state is from the Zhao family, and the person in charge in that state is from the Wang family.
Everything was easy to handle at that time. Wang Luoshen only had to say a word in Geling City, and the local officials who were half a big jade had to give him enough face.
For twenty years, the emperor continued to encroach on the territory of the noble clan.
Step by step, local officials were replaced one after another. Now the major families' control over the local area is no longer what it used to be.
So at this moment, we still have to test it.
Wang Luoshen turned around and said, "Go and call Li Ci."
Li Ci didn't come back very quickly. He had been secretly monitoring Lin Ye, and half an hour had passed when his men found him.
Li Ci hurried back to Shiqiao Villa. When Wang Luoshen saw him, he didn't ask Lin Ye what he was doing at this time, but told him something.
"Hua Lianhua is missing."
Wang Luoshen said: "I once arranged a team for him to lead. He has disappeared, but the team is still there. Now go and take over the team."
Li Ci asked: "What do you mean, sir?"
Wang Luoshen said: "Most of the people in this team were trained by Hua Lianhua. They are not easy to lead, but they are easy to use."
He looked at Li Ci and said: "Lin Ye is testing me bit by bit, trying to get more and more. He will take one person today and another person tomorrow. He would rather pretend to be a coward and dare not care..."
Li Ci came to his senses: "Since we can't stop Lin Ye, let's make it difficult for Ning Weimo to put him away."
Wang Luoshen said: "Most of the people in that team are good at using poison, assassination, and tracking... You arranged for them to target the ministers in the office. As long as someone leaves the imperial garden and comes out... ....Kill one.”
He said in a slightly sinister tone: "Lin Ye kills people, Ning Weimo pretends to be a coward, we also kill people, I wonder how Ning Weimo can pretend."
Li Ci smiled.
He cupped his fists and said, "My lord, this is a great plan. Ning Weimo doesn't care if he kills us. If he can pretend, let's see how he can pretend to kill him."
Li Ci said: "My subordinates are going to take over that group of people now. In addition... are they also looking for directions from this group of people? Maybe some of them know why Hua Lianhua is hiding."
Wang Luoshen hummed: "Go and do it."
Why is Hua Lianhua hiding?
It was because he was seriously injured.
He did take action against Nie Wuzhi, and he did almost kill Nie Wuzhi.
Relatively speaking, although Nie Wuzhi hid his strength, he was still slightly inferior to Hua Lianhua.
The reason why Nie Wuzhi didn't die was because Hua Lianhua was unlucky, too unlucky.
This incident was a surprise for both Nie Wuzhi and Hua Lianhua.
Nie Wuzhi knew that someone was going to kill him. He deliberately showed up at the wine shop that day because he wanted to lure him out.
As expected, the person was lured out by him, but Nie Wuzhi didn't expect that the opponent's strength would be so terrifying.
Nie Wuzhi was somewhat confident at first. He hid his strength when he was in Yunzhou.
So for so many years in Yunzhou, he has always been a blue-robed priest.
If Chen Weiwei's master had not had an accident in Dongbo, Nie Wuzhi would not have been promoted to the position of Priest of Ceremony. If Ai Youyou had not returned to Beijing in old age, he would not have been promoted to Priest of Tianshui Cliff.
He felt that those who wanted to kill him would definitely despise him. This was the certainty of his victory in counter-attack.
However, the moment Hua Lianhua took action, Nie Wuzhi knew that he had been careless.
Hua Lianhua's use of poison is endless and difficult to prevent. Nie Wuzhi fell into the trap from the beginning. If he hadn't been strong enough and smart enough to use the terrain and the antidote medicine given to him by Lin Ye, he would have died in that alley.
Hua Lianhua also miscalculated.
He never expected that Nie Wuzhi also had medicinal scriptures in his hands.
So after seeing that Nie Wuzhi was poisoned, he relaxed and appeared directly in front of Nie Wuzhi. He originally wanted to humiliate this most unworthy of the great rites, but in the end, who thought that Nie Wuzhi was pretending to be poisoned, he almost Killed Hua Lianhua.
Both men underestimated the other and both suffered some injuries.
With the medicine sutra, Nie Wuzhi would not be poisoned, but in terms of strength, he was still slightly inferior to Hua Lianhua.
Hua Lianhua was no longer poisoned and was injured by Nie Wuzhi's sneak attack. The strength of the two reached the same level.
But even so, Hua Lianhua has a better chance of winning, because he is more insidious, more cunning, and has far more combat experience than Nie Wuzhi.
The two of them chased and escaped, jumping around Geling City and soon left the alley.
Nie Wuzhi did not expect that Hua Lianhua's Qinggong status was so high, even higher than him.
The originally conceited Nie Wuzhi was gradually pursued by Hua Lianhua, and he had to use the terrain to dodge.
Inadvertently, he came to a dead end, and had no choice but to jump into a very ordinary house.
Originally, he just wanted to get in and then jump out from the other side.
But he didn't expect Hua Lianhua to be faster than him and intercept him in this yard.
When Hua Lianhua wanted to take action, he stopped because he saw some flowers in the yard that looked familiar to him.
At that moment he realized that he had seen these flowers before.
Then he saw a coffin parked in the living room of the main house.
A coffin that looks crystal clear.
At this moment, Hua Lianhua had to be on guard.
Then, he saw a blind man walking out of the back room, a blind man with snow-white eyes.
