Sun Yin helped Wang Lvting up and said calmly, "Sun Yin, His Highness is speaking from the bottom of his heart. In the future, don't worry about your golden thread weaving, don't feel guilty towards me. Now that things have come to this, Sun Yin will also speak from the bottom of his heart. After meeting His Highness, my life has already been thrown on the chopping block. I might not be able to keep it. If nothing goes wrong, I will most likely die quietly. Only with Sun Yin's death can you, Wang Lvting, Beiliang, and the imperial court have an explanation. Back then, when you kidnapped me to Lingzhou and asked me why it was like I was going to die so generously, this is the reason. "
Hsu Fengnian looked at Sun Yin, "I can give my dragon slaying skills a chance to be used, but I can't guarantee that it will be ten or twenty years, or that it won't be successful in the end. However, for you, Sun Yin, at least there is a glimmer of hope. Do you want to make a big deal with me?"
Unlike Wang Lvting who looked like he had lost his parents, Sun Yin remained calm and said with a smile, "If it was before today, Sun Yin wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. However, at this time and place, I am willing to listen to His Highness' opinion. If Sun Yin feels that there is profit to be made, then this deal is done. In any case, Sun Yin only has one life. He has a stomach full of knowledge that is inappropriate for the times, so he won't lose much. "
Hsu Fengnian who appeared alone turned around and left. Sun Yin slowly followed. Wang Lvting whose limbs were weak could only lean against the wall and gasp for breath.
Wang Lvting who stood in the same place originally thought that Sun Yin's life and death were uncertain. The best scenario would be him coming back alive. He didn't expect Sun Yin to return with a smile in just the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn. His eyes were bright and full of spirit.
Sun Yin held the young master of the Wang family of Zi Jin's hand and said with a smile, "Lvting, this is the last time we will see each other in this life."
Wang Lvting said in surprise, "His Highness still wants you to die?"
Sun Yin shook his head and smiled. "Bad plan."
Wang Lvting heaved a sigh of relief. "Could it be that he wants you to be his trusted aide? In the future, I'll give advice and suggestions to His Highness? "
Sun Yin still shook his head. "Medium strategy."
Wang Lvting, who had already tasted the bitterness of speaking too much, had an uncertain expression on his face. Sun Yin, who knew what he was thinking, still laughed and said, "It's still the best plan. Her Highness once again gave Sun Yin a pleasant surprise. Lu Ting, don't think too much about it. You won't be able to figure it out even if you break your head. If not for this, how could you deceive Zhang Julu, these old foxes? "
Wang Lvting gripped Sun Yin with all his strength and said with a laugh, "I'm not going to make a fuss over nothing, as long as you're living well. Wang Lvting will be waiting quietly in Beiliang for you to go to the capital and win three prizes in a row. At that time, who in the world won't know you? "
Sun Yin said in a low voice, "Earlier, I was watching the fire burning across the river and had nothing to do. In my mind, I have a set of six strategies to deal with the situation in Beiliang. Come, let's go back to our residence. Sun Yin will write it out for you. With this, you'll have the right to be a Golden Thread Weaver. After that, there are also some rough drafts regarding the trend of the imperial court. I'll write them all for you. When the time comes, you can polish them a little. In the future, you might be able to become the Provincial Governor of Lingzhou. Tomorrow, I'll be returning to Hwangnam County. You have to stay in the provincial capital. Tonight, the two of us will have a long talk. How about it? "
Wang Lvting said with a laugh, "I'm used to sharing a bed with my wife. If I fall asleep, be careful that I don't touch you."
Sun Yin laughed loudly.
Wang Lvting had never seen Sun Yin laugh so happily before.
In another small alley, Hsu Fengnian and Xu Beizhi walked side by side. Pei Nanwei followed behind them.
Xu Beizhi said slowly, "According to the information from the spies around the two of them, Sun Yin learned the rare Dragon-slaying Technique and not the Dragon-riding Technique. My grandfather had this idea before and told me about it in bits and pieces. However, he didn't dare to write it down. Are you really willing to let him go to the capital to be a chess piece that he might not be able to use for the rest of his life? "
Hsu Fengnian said with a smile, "The Liyang imperial court started with Tang Tusu, the Great Scholar of the Hall of Illustrious Persons, to the old Grand Secretary Liu Yanghou, and then to the current Grand Secretary Zhang Julu. No matter how the methods of governing the imperial court changed, regardless of whether it was the Liu faction or the Zhang faction, the core and will hidden in the depths were actually of the same origin. For example, in the past, the Han family in Jizhou and the number one person in the cabinet, Liu Yanghou, were entangled in gratitude and grudges. The old Grand Secretary couldn't take down the Han family. After the mantle was passed on to Zhang Julu, he took the opportunity to borrow the Emperor's knife to kill people, implicating nine generations of the Han family. In the struggle between factions in the imperial court, the most important thing is inheritance. It's not much different from the virtues of aristocratic families. On the surface, the current Minister of Revenue, Wang Xionggui, is the number one disciple of Zhang Julu. However, my Shifu said that Wang Xionggui's vision is not big, far inferior to Zhang Julu's. The Emperor and Yuan Benxi are probably happy to let Wang Xionggui take over the Zhang faction, but they definitely won't let him become the Grand Secretary. Zhang Julu and Huan Wen are also clear on this point. With Zhang Julu's personality, he's not afraid of being punished after his death. Even if his entire family is executed, he won't be soft-hearted. The Emperor's scheming is to get rid of the donkey after it has outlived its usefulness. Zhang Julu is afraid that when the time comes, his ruling strategy will be changed by the imperial court. In the beginning, my Shifu allowed Jin Lanting to go to the capital because he knew that this person was not capable of taking on such a big responsibility. He also had the thought of plotting against Zhang Julu. However, now that Yao Baifeng publicly reprimanded Zhang Julu in the Imperial College, I reckon that Zhang Julu is also somewhat vigilant. Perhaps he's already prepared to replace Wang Xionggui, who will be at the helm of the Zhang faction in the future. Sun Yin's departure this time is just right. Of course, Sun Yin's usefulness is far from being that simple. Right now, what Beiliang needs to do is to make Sun Yin's journey to the capital very difficult and bumpy. This is an enormous secret. I plan to bypass Wutongin and let Chu Lushan personally handle it. "
Xu Beizhi smiled and said, "Are you afraid that Wutongin doesn't have enough experience, or are you afraid that Second Princess will be too mentally and physically exhausted? Or is it because the peregrine falcon that hit Chu Lushan with a stick last year will reward him with a date to eat during the New Year? "
Xu Beizhi suddenly saw that Hsu Fengnian's expression was cold. Xu Beizhi's thoughts were very sharp. He was shocked and no longer joked.
Xu Beizhi lamented in his heart.
It wasn't easy to deliberately add oil to the fire of the imperial court. Beiliang's own family also couldn't escape one disaster after another.
Hsu Fengnian suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Being His Royal Highness and Lingzhou's General is already so tiring. Tell me, if he were to be the Emperor of the world, how much effort would he have to put in?"
Xu Beizhi smiled and said, "An Emperor who knows how to use people is actually not as tiring as you think."
Hsu Fengnian twirled the copper coin between his fingers and dismissed it with a smile.
Han Laoshan almost couldn't take it anymore. He reported softly, "Your Highness, we've received news that a pair of master and servant with unknown backgrounds entered the country from Lingzhou's Hanshi County. They declared that they would meet Your Highness who brought the head of the Fifth Raccoon back to Liangzhou. Hanshi County sent out two groups of more than four hundred soldiers, but they couldn't stop them. Your Highness, this is the portrait of that pair of master and servant. "
Hsu Fengnian was confused. He took the two pieces of paper with the portrait. On the paper were detailed words and deeds. After he finished reading, he passed them to Xu Beizhi and smiled, "This brother is very arrogant. In the middle of winter, he's holding a fan of peach blossoms and beauties. He said that he's going to draw all the rouge on the twenty women on both sides of the book. He's really romantic. Ju Zi, take a look. His looks are also the kind that can make female heroes fall in love. He's even better than you. Are you jealous? "
Xu Beizhi was puzzled and asked, "When did such a person appear in Jianghu? What realm is he at? "
Hsu Fengnian said casually, "He dares to strut around Beiliang so openly. Furthermore, he's pointing his spear at me, Hsu Fengnian. If he's not at the first rank, isn't he courting death? Since he mentioned the Fifth Raccoon, his tone is extremely arrogant. I reckon that he's referring to the Mystic Realm."
Han Laoshan asked softly, "Your Highness, Xu Yanbing isn't in Lingzhou. What if I leave the provincial capital to intercept this person?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled coldly and said, "You don't have to go. Just see if he has the ability to come to the provincial capital. Once he's here, then see if he has the ability to leave alive."
