At the same time that Xijing City received the news from Jiangnan, Yancheng also received it. Even the eldest young master and young master Chu Ran, who look down upon everything and are not easy to have too many emotional changes, saw the two Buddha statues. When I took the portrait, my face changed drastically, and my mood swings were very obvious.
"Tianxing Sect?" The eldest young master's hand shook twice, and the water in the teacup in his hand spilled all over the floor. He put the teacup back on the table, "There hasn't been any news about them in the past twenty years, right? These former The remnants of the dynasty are not dead yet, and they actually come out again? Do they really think that we have really retreated, and no one can control them? "
"Brother, what do you mean, there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys dominate?"
"You think too highly of them. How do they have the qualifications?"
"Brother, if they heard what you said, they might be furious. However, those remnants of the previous dynasty, including their relatives, have all turned into ashes now, and they shouldn't come out again, right? If it were them , how scary this is!" Master Chu Ran looked at the two Buddha statues, "Besides, we searched very carefully back then, and anyone who had anything to do with them was listed as wanted and arrested. Even if there are If a fish slips through the net, there is no threat, right?" He raised his head and looked at the eldest young master, "Brother, do you think that more than twenty years have passed, and there will still be people who are dedicated to working for them?"
"It's hard to say. There are many people who are loyal to them, and they have won over a group of believers who have no other intentions for them. We also said back then that such a few sporadic remnants of the previous dynasty would not be able to achieve anything. , there is no need to bother at all, you can press them to death with just a little finger. But what is the result? They slapped us in the face with practical actions. How much effort did we spend, how much manpower and financial resources were spent to kill them? Caught? We must not forget the lessons learned from our past!"
"Yes, I remember what my brother taught me."
"So, this time, we must get ahead of them and kill them completely. We must not let them have a chance to resurrect."
"I know." Master Chu Ran nodded, "Xiao Jue should have received the news as well. I don't know what their plans are, but what is certain is that they will not let this opportunity go so easily."
"Let our people be smart and help at critical moments."
"Yes, that's what I think too. Our people don't need to show up, we just need to cooperate with their actions. This time, there must be no mistakes."
"You must be cautious, careful, and don't be careless in any step. These are extraordinary times, and you can't make unnecessary mistakes."
"Understood, I will pass on the order in a moment, don't worry!"
"Well!" The eldest young master thought for a while, "By the way, are Xiaojue and the others unaware of the true background of the Tianxing Sect? Are we and the emperor the only ones who know for sure that the Tianxing Sect is an organization of remnants of the previous dynasty? , Cousin Tong, and Chenchen?"
"Let me think about it, it should be...no, besides us, there are two others who are aware of it."
"Is there anyone else? Who is it?"
"The two father-in-laws who used to follow Brother Huang and now follow Xiao Jue, Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan. However, don't worry, they are very strict and will not say anything out easily. Even if they say it out, they probably won't. Someone will believe it.”
"It's the two of them!" The eldest young master nodded, "There's really no need to worry, they have the same idea as us, unlike Chenchen, who always wants to oppose us and go against us every time something happens. .”
"Brother, what you said is as if he is not of the same mind as us and thinks differently from us. He just doesn't agree with our approach, but our ultimate goal is the same." Master Chu Ran laughed, He stood up and walked to the cupboard against the east wall, rummaging around and saying, "I understand him very well. He just doesn't want the children to live so hard and bear so many burdens. He hopes that everything will be done by us." Solve it, rather than leaving it to the children. It’s just..." He turned around and showed a wry smile to the eldest young master, "This is not something we can decide. It is destined that the children are the real protagonists, and we are only playing a supporting role. It only exists. If Chenchen could have thought of this, he wouldn't have suffered for so many years and even lost his eldest sister's life."
"I hope he can understand these things after staying in the imperial mausoleum for so many years."
"He should have figured it out, otherwise Eagle King and Cousin Tong would not allow him to return to Xijing."
Young Master Chu Ran dug out a small box from the drawer in the lower left corner of the dresser, walked back to the eldest young master, and placed the box on the table.
"What is this?" The young master opened the box and saw a pile of paper inside, "This..."
"When I kept it, you were quite disgusted, saying that I kept messy rags." Young Master Chu Ran nodded lightly, "The list of all suspects involved in the Tianxing Sect, as well as the list of items. Send this to Brother Tong. Go and give it to Xiaojue when you have the chance."
"There's nothing here that shouldn't be shown to them, right?"
"No." Master Chu Ran shook his head, "I will tell Cousin Tong to go through it again before handing it over to Xiaojue."
Young Master Chu Ran walked out of the study, found his confidant, handed the box to him, and asked him to run to Xijing as quickly as possible, go to Prince Dai's Mansion to meet Prince Dai, and hand the box to him.
"Tell Mr. Dai that everything is under control and there is no need to worry. The matter in the Kingdom of Jin must be resolved as soon as possible. We don't have much time left."
"yes!"
Watching his confidant leave, Master Chu Ran sighed softly and walked into the study again with a tired face.
"When will this kind of day end?" He closed the study door and leaned weakly on the wicker chair. "Remember what Brother Huang, you, and Cousin Tong said before, that from the moment we were born, From the beginning, he was destined to spend his life in misery."
"What kind of memory!" The eldest young master chuckled, "What we said at the time was that from the moment we were born, we were destined to live a rough life, and this life was destined to be full of all kinds of calculations. And being plotted." He waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this anymore, but also talk about the Tianxing Sect. I calmed down just now and thought about it carefully. There were many followers of the Tianxing Sect back then. If they arranged for their own people to be mixed among the ordinary believers , it is not impossible for them to escape our search. And their descendants may not really exist as we think."
"I don't deny that there will be omissions, but my intuition tells me that they are unlikely to make a comeback."
"Why?"
"Lack of money, lack of goods, lack of food." Young Master Chu Ran shrugged, "They have already reduced themselves to the point where they need to steal to maintain their daily lives. What energy do they have to make trouble again?"
