The night breeze caresses, the moon and stars are sparse.
The mysterious heroine Murong Wanfeng, who owed Jiang Wuji money, appeared in an alley.
After a while, a masked man in black walked out of the shadows.
Murong Wanfeng, who was wearing a curtain hat, took out a sign from his waist, with red lotuses blooming on it.
The man in black saluted, then led Murong Wanfeng into an inconspicuous room, and then entered a secret passage hidden behind a bookcase.
…
Secret room.
Murong Wanfeng, rich kids in colorful clothes, middle-aged people dressed as farmers.
The three of them stood in a triangle, looking at each other silently, as if they were putting pressure on each other...
After a while, the young man from the rich family spoke first: "I've heard that the leader's wife is very charming, but after seeing her today, I feel that what people say is a bit conservative."
Murong Wanfeng looked sideways at the rich man dressed in flamboyant clothes, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?"
"Pei Wu is the crown prince in Xiadong."
"Oh, King Dongding is indeed involved."
King Dongding had guarded the East China Sea for many years, and had no merit but hard work, so the late emperor gave him the title of King with a foreign surname.
Pei Wu opened the folding fan inlaid with jade in his hand and said with a warm smile: "The foundation of Dali is in the hands of a woman. How can our Pei family turn a blind eye?"
Under the curtain, Murong Wanfeng frowned.
Although the slogan of their Red Lotus Sect is "The hen Si Chen, the whole world will rebel", Pei Wu still felt disgusted when he looked down on women in front of her...
But then I thought about it. As a member of the Red Lotus Sect, I felt a bit embarrassed when I had such an idea, so I could only nod slightly.
At this time, the farmer man cupped his fists and said, "I met the leader's wife in Chaiqiu, Xiayue."
"A reckless man, Yue Chai Qiu?" Murong Wanfeng was a little surprised.
"Hehehe, it's just a false name."
Although the name is false, the reputation of "The Rugged Man" is not small in the world, and he is a serious Jade Bone Grandmaster.
But Feng Jing is not good, because he lives with his master's wife and swallows his master. He is an out-and-out ungrateful person. However, there are also people in the world who brag about the relationship between him and his master's wife, saying that it is true love...
"Let's get down to business." Murong rolled up his sleeves and spoke concisely.
The two looked at each other, and then Yue Chaiqiu spoke.
"Although your sect has always been independent, the power of the Empress is growing day by day, and the number of people attracted by it is increasing day by day. Today your sect wants to..."
"Let's get down to business." Murong Wanfeng interrupted the other party's flirtatious remarks. There was no need to start by criticizing someone before praising him.
Yue Chaiqiu was stunned for a moment, then said with a sneer: "After the late emperor gave birth to his son, he devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and vainly seeking immortality."
"However, cultivating Taoism will inevitably neglect the imperial court. In order to stabilize the overall situation, the late emperor wooed the Wu family in Jiangzhou and made his daughter the queen. Unfortunately, God did not fulfill his wish. Wu Xiuxiu died on the way to Beijing and became the current queen mother."
As the leader's wife, Murong Wanfeng naturally knew these things.
The ancestor of the Wu family in Jiangzhou was a blacksmith. Later, the head of the family was taught by a national master, and his talent for weapon refining was out of control.
Although the Star Reaching Tower can also refine magic weapons, the warlocks in the Star Reaching Tower are very smart and arrogant. They only work on rigid needs such as military supplies. It is difficult for people in the world to want a Star Reaching Tower magic weapon. Like ascending to heaven.
Therefore, the things forged by the Wu family have always been regarded as magical weapons by people in the world.
They are even more eager to acquire those magic weapons...
The Wu family used this to continuously earn favors. Over time, the Wu family not only became extremely rich, but also had connections all over the world.
In order to better grasp the news of the world, the first emperor used the throne to win over the queen, which led to Wu Xiuxiu becoming the current queen mother.
"You want to touch the Wu family?" Murong Wanfeng asked.
"No."
Yue Chaiqiu smiled and said: "In the past few years, the Wu family has sent a lot of news to the empress. Some heroes who were dissatisfied with the empress also gave up their orthodoxy because of the Wu family's lobbying."
"But what if the Queen Mother... dies?"
Hearing this, Murong Wanfeng couldn't help but stare.
If the Queen Mother dies, the Wu family will have nothing to do with the court, and they may even ask the court for an explanation.
Without the Wu family's Jianghu intelligence network, the empress would be without a right-hand man, and she would become a hindsight to Jianghu affairs.
Although there are secret masters in the Star Reaching Tower who can spy on the secrets of the sky, they cannot predict the future in a true sense. Otherwise, the Red Lotus Sect would have been destroyed long ago, how could they have jumped to the present?
As for Fengtiansi, it was established too short ago and the intelligence network is not as large and mature as that of the Wu family.
Murong Wanfeng nodded slightly: "Go on."
Yue Chaiqiu chuckled and continued: "Everyone knows that the palace is deep and secluded, which is very unbearable. The Queen Mother is still young, so she naturally does not want to live alone in the palace. Therefore, every year when the head of the Wu family celebrates his birthday, she will go back to visit relatives to celebrate his birthday."
At this point, the purpose is already obvious.
They wanted to take action while the Queen Mother was on her way home to visit relatives, so they came to instigate and intensify the relationship between the Wu family and the court.
"If you want to sway an emperor, you can't do it overnight."
"Big things require long-term planning. This is why a dike thousands of miles away was destroyed by an ant nest." Yue Chaiqiu said with a smile.
After pondering for a moment, Murong Wanfeng said: "I already know. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"Wait a minute, Heroine!"
Pei Wu shouted to stop.
"how?"
Pei Wu glanced at Yue Chaiqiu, and after getting the latter's approval, he spoke: "There is a person who I hope your sect can take action to kill."
"who?"
"Jiang Wuji."
"?!, who are you talking about?"
"Jiang Wuji, the swordsman of Fengtian Division, the adopted son of Jiang Kaiyang, the person who cracked the financial financing case, the person who destroyed Yunshui Villa, the person who brought down the secrets of our Ministry of Household and Rites, and now he has found a robbery statue for the empress. In addition to Besides...privately, he is still the face of King Luo!"
"???"
"Facial head?!"
Murong Wanfeng was shocked.
That guy did it to Xiaowan...I even heard it indirectly...and then, he was actually the face of King Luo? Why doesn't he die?
Why was she so surprised? Oh, she is born as a girl, she is normal... Pei Wu said seriously: "This child has ruined our plans many times, I will not be happy if I don't get rid of it!"
Murong Wanfeng sneered and said calmly: "Yue Chaiqiu has a jade bone cultivation, and he is one of the best in the entire world. To deal with a knife wielder, do we still need the Red Lotus Sect to take action?"
"Hey..." Yue Chaiqiu sighed: "In order to kill Jiang Wuji, we have broken two secrets and even been involved in many plans. Now that the empress is on guard, it would be inappropriate to take action again. …”
"Why take action when something is wrong? The next person to be assassinated is the Queen Mother. Jiang Wuji can't even hit her with eight sticks, right?"
"Having said that, I always feel like that kid has gangrene on his bones. What if..."
"Is it possible that he wants to send the Queen Mother back to Jiangzhou?"
"I'm really not sure. Every year when the Queen Mother returns to Jiangzhou, she will allocate some people from Fengtian Division to cooperate with the imperial army to escort her."
"..."
…
"Ah? Let me... Your Majesty ask me to send the Queen Mother back to Jiangzhou to visit relatives?"
"The Queen Mother wants you to accompany her, what? You don't agree?"
"That's not true..."
Jiang Wuji touched the bridge of his nose and thought that Wan'er should still be on her way back to Jiangzhou. If he received a mission to Jiangzhou, wouldn't it be a good time to reunite?
Perhaps because she was afraid that Jiang Wuji would not agree and upset the Queen Mother's mood, the Empress said with a smile: "If you make the Queen Mother happy during this trip, I will definitely let you see the statue of Swallowing Mountains and Rivers when I come back..."
Um? Isn’t it easy to make a woman happy? Jiang Wuji immediately agreed.
"My lord, I obey the order!"
However, what Jiang Wuji didn't know was that the fat-headed fish was ups and downs, seeming to be sulking about something...
After coming out of the palace, Jiang Wuji found that the fat-headed fish was full of energy.
After asking several times, the fat-headed fish only had one answer: "Get lost."
In desperation, Jiang Wuji probed: "I have already learned Ji Xinghai's Tingchao Sword. Your Highness, do you want to learn it?"
The fat-headed fish looked at him and crossed his arms, "Heh..."
Seeing that none of this could be coaxed, Jiang Wuji had no choice but to say: "I suddenly thought of a poem..."
"?!"
The fat-headed fish raised his eyebrows.
"tell me the story."
"Aren't you angry?"
"Why did Marquis Tingshui say this? Why is this king so angry?"
He said he wasn't angry...
Looking at the fat-headed fish trembling with the bumps of the carriage, Jiang Wuji did not act like a copycat, but still smiled and said warmly:
"Does His Highness like me?"
Fat-headed fish: "?!"
