The Wulin world's number one gang, Qing Tian Zhai, was destroyed and surrendered. Within a few days the news spread throughout Jianghu. An Yesun's reputation also rose. The Cruel Fiend Star had long been a name that struck fear in the Wulin world. Because he had been living in seclusion in the Snow Song Palace for six years and did not make any big achievements, people in the Jianghu jokingly called him 'has-been character'. Now his fame had risen. The common people hated Qing Tian Zhai's conduct, therefore, their view of An Yesun was no longer the original 'cold-blooded killer god'. Instead, it was like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Compared to Li Yijie, this kind of merit was several times greater. Li Yijie was ashamed and could not bring himself to do it. All day long he hid in his room and did not go out. At the same time, he did not want to run into Shen Shiyun and Xuan Shuang, thus providing them with a laughingstock. An Yesun's temperament was cold, so he did not ask Li Yijie to fulfill his promise. Thinking that the Sacrifice Shadow Cult was not a place where intelligence was blocked, Jiang Liechen would definitely hear such a big commotion, he could not help but feel contented. He still could not escape this psychological shackle. In everything he did, he wanted to compete with Jiang Liechen. It seemed that only by gaining his approval could he be considered a real success.
Qing Tian Zhai's bandits did not have any special skill. After leaving the mountain, only a few of them went out to do business. Their livelihood was also bleak. Without any other choice, they all joined the Eight Banners army. Lu Qian had not been officially conferred a position. He remembered that he was the leader of a stronghold, so he was not willing to receive the same treatment as the bandits under his command. He thought that even if he became an official, his bottom line should be the Grand Marshal.
The second day he entered the Palace, several servant girls came to help him bathe and change his clothes. He took off his long gown and put on an official uniform. Lu Qian did not study the Qing court's uniform in detail, so he did not know what rank this kind of uniform represented. But looking at the luxurious material and the exquisite pattern, he guessed it should not be low. He looked at himself in the mirror and smoothed his hair. He thought, "I don't want to shave my head like the Manchus. An Yesun and Li Yijie have special privileges, why can't I?" He picked up his official hat and solemnly put it on his head. Along the way, he thought, "Noble Consort Yun didn't make me wait for nothing. Those who know how to cherish time are all good women. I like them."
After being led to the entrance of the Snow Song Palace's main hall, an imperial guard went in to report. Almost immediately, he came out and said, "Lord Lu, Her Highness Noble Consort Yun requests an audience with you."
Lu Qian said in his heart, "She must be waiting for me, otherwise she wouldn't be this fast. Could it be that as the Head Stockade Master of the Blue Sky Stockade, my handsome reputation had already spread far and wide and had attracted the attention of the Noble Consort Yun? If I can really make her loyal to me, perhaps she can rebel from the inside, kill the Emperor, and welcome me to the throne. In return, regardless of whether or not she is as beautiful as the rumors say, I will treat her well. Even if I can't become the Empress, giving her the title of Imperial Noble Consort is not a problem. Heh heh, the Emperor recruited the Clear Sky Village in order to disintegrate my power. He must have never dreamed that this move would backfire, creating an opportunity for me, but hastening his demise. My body is in Cao Ying, but my heart is still with Han. I am definitely going to be the ruler of the world! "
Just as his imagination was running wild, a maidservant beside him pushed him and said, "Lord Lu, Her Highness Noble Consort Yun is asking you to go in. Why are you still in a daze?"
Lu Qian was imagining himself wearing a dragon robe, sitting upright on the dragon throne with a dignified expression, hugging several beauties on his left and right. He was at his proudest moment, but after being pushed and called out by her, the scene in front of him burst like a bubble one after another. He was full of regret and had nowhere to vent it. He said angrily, "What are you rushing me for? Are you rushing me or what? When I finish my discussion with the Noble Consort Yun and become a high-ranking official in the imperial court, I will be your immediate superior. Let's see if you still dare to yell at me or pull me? "
The maidservant covered her mouth and laughed, "It won't be too late to say these words after you become a high-ranking official."
Lu Qian snorted, "Do you think I can do it? Humph, I'll just be one and let you broaden your horizons. " He walked up the steps in large strides. At the door, he cleared his throat in a low voice. His face was solemn, his back was ramrod straight, his eyebrows were lowered, and he walked into the hall in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. He walked straight to the center of the hall, raised his arms high, and bowed deeply, saying, "This commoner Lu Qian pays his respect to the Noble Consort Yun. May Her Highness have good fortune and peace." Finished speaking, he quietly raised his eyes and secretly sized her up.
At first glance, he was stunned. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "She is Shen Shiyun? She is really beautiful! No wonder Li Yijie, such an honest and upright gentleman, could also be captivated by her. Now I understand. Aiya, I didn't expect there to be such a stunning beauty in the world. She is a gift for me to enjoy. If I don't accept it, it would be a reckless waste of God's gift, a waste of Heaven's good intentions. "
He saw Shen Shiyun was wearing silver-moon shaped earrings, her face was covered in heavy makeup, her willow-leaf eyebrows were drawn thin and long, her eyelids were painted with a layer of gorgeous red, and her eyelashes were also raised high. Her cheeks were painted with rouge, which made her charming face look even more tender and delicate. Her cherry-like lips were slightly pursed, intentionally or unintentionally, she exuded a kind of soul-sucking seduction.
Lu Qian was greatly aroused. He thought, "In order to see me, she obviously specially dressed up. It seems she really treats me differently. In the future, when I ascend the throne and become the Emperor, she must accompany me. The question is, between her and Xueer, who will be the older one, and who will be the younger one? Xueer Shimei has learned some martial art, while Yun 'er is full of schemes. If I let the two of them fight for my affection, I won't be able to bear to see either one of them suffer. "
Shen Shiyun saw Lu Qian's lecherous eyes staring at her, she had already guessed what he was thinking. She did not deviate from her previous judgment of 'a common problem among men'. Inwardly she despised him, but on her face she put on a gentle smile and softly said, "Minister Lu, you may dispense with the formalities. You are the Qingtian Village's Big Zhaizhu, you have made a name for yourself in the Wulin world. You are a big shot who can shake the four directions with just a stomp of your foot. I can't afford to call myself a commoner in front of me. "
Lu Qian said, "Niangniang is making fun of me. In the past … it was this general who was daring and presumptuous, who did a lot of absurd things. For the sake of a Jueyin Zither, I even ordered Jianye Escort Agency to commit a crime, so that Niangniang was frightened. Thinking about it, I am really uneasy. Thanks to Niangniang's timely warning, I was able to rein in the horse at the edge of the cliff in time and avoid walking down a dark path. In the end, even if I regret it, it will be too late. Niangniang is my great benefactor. "
Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "It's good that you don't mind. This time, it was this consort who planned to destroy Qingtian Village. I was originally worried that you would bear a grudge and refuse to stay by my side and work for me in the future. Hearing you say that, this consort is relieved. "
Lu Qian said, "No, no, please don't say that. His Majesty and Niangniang did not pursue this general's crime of treason and even left me with an official position. This is already a great favor. This general does not dare to ask for anything else. It's just that … Niangniang still needs to give this general a little more time. Perhaps in the short term, I will still think about the past of Qingtian Village and my heart will miss it. I will appear dispirited and listless, but I don't mean to be disloyal to you. "
Shen Shiyun said, "That's reasonable. It's very good. As the saying goes, humans are not plants and can't be emotionless. If you completely forget about Qingtian Village in the blink of an eye, this consort will think that you are too cold and untrustworthy. As long as you don't gather people and plot to make a comeback, this consort will not interfere no matter how long you want to adjust. "
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Many thanks for Niangniang's pity. Actually, this time, even if this general still had the guts to do evil, I'm afraid that no one will give me a chance. On the top of Taihang Mountain, I went against the will of the masses and bowed my head to the imperial court. This angered the brothers in the village. Now they all see me as an enemy. This misunderstanding is hard to clear up in a short time. "
Shen Shiyun said, "You are thinking for their sake. Even if those bandits can't see clearly for the time being, in the future, when our Great Qing is truly unified and all the rebellious sects, big and small, will be suppressed one by one. Their leaders will all be executed. They will be glad that they made this choice. They will understand your painstaking efforts and will forgive you."
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so." Thinking about other things, he could still endure. But Cheng Jiahua openly betrayed him, killed several senior brothers in the village, and set fire to the village's palace. His actions were unforgivable. If he directly cried out his grievance to Shen Shiyun, she would definitely not pay him any attention.
Turning his brain, he came up with a brilliant plan. Leaning closer to her, he said in a low voice, "Niangniang, I consider you as one of my own people. There is something I need to communicate with you. This time, among the Qingtian Village's surrendered generals who came down the mountain, there is one called Cheng Jiahua. Ay, our school is unfortunate. He is my unfilial disciple. Now he is following An Yesun. He is the orphan of the Chen family, whose whole family was destroyed by you six years ago. He is bent on taking revenge on you. You must be careful. This man is capable of doing anything. Once he chopped off his own arm without blinking. This time not only he betrayed me in public, he also killed several of my subordinates to show his loyalty to An Yesun. He has also entered the Palace. I am afraid he will do you harm. You'd better get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid future trouble. "
Listening to Lu Qian's words, Shen Shiyun immediately guessed that because of Cheng Jiahua's betrayal, he harbored a grudge in his heart and wanted to borrow her hand to eliminate him. But since he knew the inside story behind the Chen family's destruction, she had no choice but to be more careful. Smiling slightly, she said, "Since he is Yun Shaoshuai's man, it is not easy for Bengong to make a move on him. But I believe he is a smart man. In the Palace, he should know how to speak and act cautiously. He will not stir up trouble. "
Lu Qian's scheme failed. With a hollow laugh he said, "That's good, that's good." Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "Looking at Minister Lu's expression, it seems like you have something difficult in your heart. There is no harm in you telling Bengong about it. Perhaps I can help you a little bit. If there is any inconvenience, Bengong will respect your wish and will not force you. "
Lu Qian laughed dryly and said, "To be honest, there are indeed two things that cannot be put down. As early as when I became the Great Zhaizhu, it was an extremely strong desire. First, I was once framed by someone. Now that the mastermind is dead, my heart is a lot more at ease. But at that time there was an accomplice, by the name of Liang Yue. On the summit of Kunlun, in front of the heroes and seniors of various major Sects, he punched and kicked me. He used filthy language, so that my body and mind were damaged. For more than six years this disgrace has been lying across my chest. Not a single day has passed that I did not fantasize about twisting his head off and kicking it like a rubber ball. He was originally a disciple of the younger generation of Diancang Pai. In order to win him over, the old thief of Kunlun Sect promised to make him the Substitute Leader of Kunlun Sect after he defeated me. Humph, humph, what is there to be proud of? He is nothing more than a puppet of the old thief Taoist. After so many years, perhaps the word 'substitute' has already disappeared. I cannot swallow this anger. I have been looking forward to sending troops to destroy Diancang Kunlun. The rest of the people of Diancang Pai are indeed innocent, but in the end they were the ones who raised this damn scoundrel. Their crime is equal. Furthermore, although I was born in Kunlun, the disciples under my command did not care about right or wrong. At the same time they betrayed me, they even helped outsiders to pursue me. I remember all the sins that others have committed against me, and they should not blame me for exacting them. My belief is' I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me. ' I also want to capture that kid Liang Yue and let me personally torture him. I won't let him die immediately, but I want his skin to split open, his flesh to be lacerated, not a single bone in his body intact. Finally, I want him to slowly die from the pain. Only then will the hatred in my heart be appeased! "
