What are the two of you up to … The members of the Heaven & Earth Society muttered in their hearts.
Chu Yuanzhen's problem was also their problem.
[One: A few days ago, Xu Yinluo and I worked together to force Yongxing to abdicate. Today, the coronation ceremony was held. Currently, the situation in the capital has stabilized, and the court is operating normally.
Clang! The jade mirror in Chu Yuanzhen's hand fell to the ground.
Huaiqing had become the empress?!
Although he was dressed in white and had traveled the world for nearly a decade, Chu Yuanzhen, who was a scholar, felt that his brain had encountered an unbearable storm when he heard the news.
He even dropped the fragments of the Earth Book in his hand.
Ah! Princess Royal Huaiqing had become the empress?! The Saint, Li Lingsu, was shocked. However, as a disciple of Tenzō, he had never learned the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Virtues.
Although he was shocked, he didn't feel too strongly about it. After the shock, his first reaction was: If a woman becomes the empress, wouldn't the harem be flipped?
In the past, the harem was forbidden for men. Now, would it become a forbidden place for women?
Would all the maids in the harem be expelled?
The second reaction was:
I'm so handsome and charming, and I'm also a member of the Heaven & Earth Society. Will Princess Huaiqing, no, Her Majesty force me to enter the harem as a concubine?
The third reaction was:
Xu Qi'an is the mistress of the harem? Is he going to rule the world?
Li Lingsu knew that Huaiqing and Xu Qi'an had an ambiguous relationship.
In the end, he suppressed these thoughts and drove them out of his mind. He felt sour because if the two of them had an ambiguous relationship, the empress could only become one of Xu Qi'an's harem.
She did not want Xu Qi 'an to become a member of her harem.
"Having the Female Empress as a concubine is much more fulfilling than having a princess, a commandery princess, or even Taoist Master Renzong …" Li Lingsu felt sour in his heart.
No, I can't be the only one suffering. I'm going to look for Brother Yang. A good brother should share his troubles.
The Saint made up his mind.
Master Hengy Yuan had no other thoughts about Huaiqing's ascension to the throne. Hearing that the situation in the capital had stabilized, he dismissed the idea of returning to the capital to help.
Monks had long since lost their worldly desires. Let alone a woman, Master Hengy Yuan wouldn't care even if it was a young mare sitting on the dragon throne.
Huaiqing became the Empress?! The impact on Li Miaozhen was no less than that of Chu Yuanzhen. At the same time, she felt a little embarrassed. In the future, she couldn't say anything in the Heaven & Earth Society without any scruples.
I want to stab that dog emperor to death!
[One: The talents of the Daibun royal family are declining. Apart from me, who else can cooperate with Xu Yinluo to fight to the death against Yunzhou?]
Huaiqing explained the reason why Xu Qi'an supported her ascension to the throne.
Then, she sent a message.
[Also, in this way, Li Miaozhen doesn't have to think about assassinating the Emperor of Daibun every day. If she needs anything, she can communicate with me directly.]
"Ah, isn't it a little too much to dig up someone else's dark history …" Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart.
When the time comes, I'll bring Xu Ningyan to your door and beat you up … Li Miaozhen looked at the message and felt a little embarrassed. She quickly changed the topic.
[Damn Xu Ningyan, why didn't you tell me in advance? Is this the so-called method you hid before?]
Looking at Li Miaozhen's message, the members of the Heaven & Earth Society sighed in their hearts. After the Supervisor was sealed, Xu Ningyan had become a big shot who was in charge of the change of imperial power.
He was the real ruler of the forces in the Central Plains.
[Three: It's not a big deal in the first place. It's meaningless to tell you in advance. In fact, I didn't help much. Her Majesty Huaiqing has long held power in the dark.]
In this reshuffle of imperial power, although his role was irreplaceable, it was Huaiqing's own ability to stabilize the situation and reach a compromise of interests with the dukes.
There were too many ambitious people in Capital City. If it wasn't for Huaiqing's ability to quickly stabilize the situation and make those people keep their claws and teeth and continue to submit to her, Daibun might have collapsed.
[Nine: You being able to ascend to the throne and become the emperor has solved one of my doubts. I understand the reason for your strange fate of fortune.]
The Jinlian Taoist priest sent a message and sighed.
[Two: Eh, Taoist Priest's words sound strange. Is Number One's fate of fortune very strange? Did you know a long time ago that she would become the emperor?]
Li Miaozhen's words successfully diverted everyone's attention, including Huaiqing herself.
[Nine: I'm not the Supervisor. How can I predict the future? Well, everyone's fate of fortune is different. Some people are born with it, while others are born with it. Fate of fortune has a color. The name of a Rank Four Taoist Priest of the Earth Sect symbolizes the color of his fate of fortune.
[When I first met Her Highness Huaiqing, her fate of fortune was purple with a hint of gold. This is something that no other member of the royal family has. So, I investigated carefully and decided to give him the fragment of the Book of the Earth.]
[Seven: What about me? What about me? What color is mine?]
Li Lingsu was not the only one who was interested in this topic. Everyone wanted to know how the Jinlian Taoist priest selected and formed the members of the Heaven & Earth Society.
[Nine: You? You're white.]
[Seven: What grade of fate is white?]
[Nine: White!]
Li Lingsu: "???"
It was obvious that the Jinlian Taoist priest did not want to talk about it. It might involve the secrets of the Earth Sect … Xu Qi 'an was about to end the topic when he suddenly saw Eight's message.
[Eight: If you go to Qingzhou tomorrow to issue the letter of challenge, there will definitely be a conflict with Yunzhou. I don't know if you can find out the other party's background, but you will definitely be found out.]
Azuro brought the topic back and pointed out the pros and cons of Xu Qi 'an's action tomorrow.
Li Miaozhen thought about it and felt that it made sense. [What Eight said makes sense. If it's just a letter of challenge, there is no need at all. Do you have any follow-up plans?]
If Xu Qi 'an ran over eagerly, Xu Pingfeng would definitely bring his subordinates to fight him. Once there was a conflict, he would not be able to hide his Force of Living and Rank Two Cultivation.
Because if he did not use his full strength, it would be difficult for Xu Qi 'an to fight against the Transcendents of Yunzhou.
[One: Issuing the letter of challenge is his obsession.]
Huaiqing suddenly said.
Everyone was speechless.
[Three: I will not ignore the big picture because of my personal grudges. I chose to issue the letter in the group tonight because I wanted to discuss this matter with everyone.]
What was "in the group"? This question flashed through everyone's mind, but they did not send a message to ask. Instead, they focused on the letter.
[Three: I want to take this opportunity to hunt down the Black Lotus!]
Before everyone had time to analyze and digest the message, they saw the reply of the Jinlian Taoist priest.
[Good idea. Ning Yan is worthy of being Wei Yuan's disciple. He can see the big picture.]
The Jinlian Taoist priest was ecstatic … Everyone thought.
As one of the think tanks of the Heaven & Earth Society, Chu Yuanzhen calmly analyzed:
[First, we need to solve two problems. One: Separate the Black Lotus from the Transcendents of Yunzhou. Two: Make up for the lack of combat power.]
Everyone enthusiastically expressed their opinions on the "program" proposed by Chu Yuanzhen.
[Seven: Separate the Black Lotus from the Yunzhou experts. I have an idea. In Xu Ningyan's military book, there is a move called "Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao". According to the book, when Zhao was attacked by Wei, Zhao's allies would attack Wei and rescue Zhao.
[My idea is that we can attack the Earth Sect's headquarters and force the Black Lotus to return to the headquarters to defend against the enemy. However, this must happen while Xu Ningyan issues the letter of challenge, so he can hold back the Transcendents of Yunzhou.]
[Not bad, the Holy Son does not only know how to play with women. His head is not rusty …] Xu Qi 'an pondered for a moment and felt that this plan was feasible.
[Two: Your plan has a fatal flaw.]
Tenzō's young phoenix, no, young phoenix, immediately undermined him.
[Two: The Black Lotus is at the Second Stage, while the Jinlian Taoist priest is at the Third Stage. Even if we join forces, we will not be a match for the Black Lotus. Moreover, the Black Lotus has the help of the Demonic Taoists of the Earth Sect.]
[One: I think this plan is feasible.]
As soon as Li Miaozhen finished speaking, Huaiqing voted in favor of the plan.
'Are you looking for trouble? Do you think you are great just because you are the Emperor?' Li Miaozhen was furious. Just as she was about to send a reply, she saw that Xu Qi 'an had also voted in favor of the plan.
[That's a great plan.]
[Nine: Very good.]
[Eight: It's feasible!]
'You guys …' Li Miaozhen was angry.
'Ah, this …' Li Lingsu was pleasantly surprised and confused. 'It's settled just like that? It's clearly just an idea that came to me on a whim. Could it be that I am the legendary commander? '
Chu Yuanzhen's mind was full of doubts. He hesitated and sent a reply.
[You guys … Oh, I know. The Taoist Master will participate in the battle.]
The Taoist Master that the Renzong disciple mentioned was, of course, Luo Yuheng.
If Luo Yuheng was in charge of the main attack, and with the cooperation of the Jinlian Taoist priest and the other members of the Heaven & Earth Society, killing a Black Lotus would be a piece of cake.
Chu Yuanzhen continued his analysis.
[The Taoist Master is a second-class Taoist, and the Jinlian Taoist priest has recovered his cultivation to the third-class. I have been cultivating my Sword Will recently, so killing a fourth-class Taoist will be a piece of cake.]
[Six: It's not a problem for me to deal with a few fourth-class Taoists. When necessary, I can summon the Sarira.]
Li Lingsu said, [Miaozhen and I can fight three to four fourth-class Taoists if we work together.]
Tenzō had a secret joint attack method.
[Seven: What about Eight? What's your cultivation? Eight: What's your cultivation? If you haven't reached the fourth-class, don't join in the fun.]
[Eight: Self-defense is not a problem.]
[Is it true? Eight has been avoiding talking about his cultivation because he is embarrassed. After all, the Heaven & Earth Society has four fourth-class Taoists, and there are two Transcendents … Li Miaozhen, Li Lingsu, Chu Yuanzhen, and the others thought to themselves.
[Nine: Well, when the time comes, listen to my orders. We will find a place to meet. However, if we choose to meet tomorrow, the time is a bit tight. Ning Yan, you'd better delay it.]
[Three: Time is not a problem.]
[Four: If the operation is successful, not only will we fulfill our promise to the Jinlian Taoist priest, but we will also deal a heavy blow to the rebel army of Yunzhou and strengthen the morale of the Daibun army. Three birds with one stone.]
For Xu Qi 'an, this is the first step in his revenge against his biological father … Chu Yuanzhen added in his heart.
He didn't send this message. In any case, it was a tragedy for a father and a son to kill each other.
Poor Xu Ningyan.
After finalizing the plan, they ended the message.
…
In the bedroom of the Celestial Commissioner.
Xu Qi 'an, who was kicked out of bed by Mu Nanzi, sat at the table and put down the small jade mirror in his hand.
"This should be called luring the snake out of its hole, crossing the sea by deception, and passing off fish eyes as pearls …" He complained in a light tone.
The core of the plan to kill Black Lotus was Azuro!
Luo Yuheng was about to pass the Heavenly Tribulation. It was okay for her to take action occasionally, but the intensity of the battle between the Transcendents would make the fire in her body unbalanced and cause the Heavenly Tribulation to come early.
Xu Pingfeng knew this very well.
Black Lotus and Xu Pingfeng had always thought that I was the main force of the Heaven & Earth Society, but they didn't know about Azuro's existence … Xu Qi 'an checked for any loopholes in the plan.
Other than the Jinlian Taoist priest, he and Huaiqing, no one else knew that Azuro was Number Eight.
Azuro was the main force in this plan to kill Black Lotus. Even if it was a one-on-one fight, Azuro could kill Black Lotus.
Moreover, he had the help of the Jinlian Taoist priest.
"Therefore, when they found out that the Jinlian Taoist priest had attacked the Earth Sect's headquarters, they definitely wouldn't waste their energy to set up a trap. At most, they would send Ji Xuan to help. "Because at this time, I've been repeatedly jumping between the borders of Qingzhou and Yongzhou. Killing me is the main goal of the Yunzhou rebel army.
"If Xu Pingfeng decides to ambush Jinlian and sends Galo Tree Bodhisattva, I'll go deep into Qingzhou and kill the entire Yunzhou Army. Hmm, I'll also drag the old man with me."
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Xu Qi 'an's mind. He felt a long-lost excitement.
He was going to make his move as a chess player.
After putting away the book fragments, he tilted his head and looked at the graceful back of the Flower Goddess lying on the bed. Xu Qi 'an's head swelled slightly.
"Nanzhi …"
Just as he was about to speak, Mu Nanzi quickly replied,
"Get lost!"
…
In the quiet valley, the temporary stronghold of the Heaven & Earth Society.
In the thatched cottage, the oil lamp was as small as a bean.
The Jinlian Taoist priest sat cross-legged on a futon made of withered grass and meditated with his eyes closed.
An orange cat was lying on the ground, staring intently at a small jade mirror.
After waiting for so many years, this moment has finally arrived … The orange cat was full of emotions, his mood was joyful, his tail wagging happily.
Suddenly, the door of the thatched cottage was pushed open. The graceful White Lotus Taoist priest came in with a beautiful young girl.
The young girl first glanced at the Jinlian Taoist priest, then her attention was attracted by the orange cat's wagging tail.
The orange cat's tail slowly stiffened and didn't move for a long time.
The Jinlian Taoist priest's Yang Spirit floated out and stared at them expressionlessly.
"Remember to knock before entering, that's good manners!"
Then, his expression softened a bit and he asked,
"What is it?"
The White Lotus Taoist priest pursed his lips and pretended not to see the orange cat.
"Qiu Chanyi has just returned from her travels and brought back a piece of information.
"The Earth Sect's HQ is empty, those Evil Daoists have moved somewhere else."
