Looking at the sword in front of them, they were stunned. Even those who didn't know anything could see that this was a rare treasure. However, Dorgon was still calm. He smiled and explained, "Everybody in the world knows that the Residual Shadow Sword is the most precious treasure of the Demonic Sect. If you bring this sword with you, your identity will be revealed. You won't even need to provoke them." Cheng Jiaxuan was stunned for a long time before slowly moving her eyes away. She said, "Even if it's a peerless sword, in my hands, it's just a piece of trash. I won't be able to use even one tenth of its power."
Dorgon laughed. "You don't understand the magic of the Residual Shadow Sword. Of course it's not an ordinary object. Otherwise, how can it be called the head of the Seven Evils? Even if someone who has never learned martial arts, as long as he holds this sword, he will immediately become a master of the sword, invincible in the world. In addition, it has an extraordinary effect. Others describe it as' if God blocks, it will kill God; if demons block, it will kill demons'. It gathers the Yin and Yang energy of heaven and earth. It is a treasure sword that gathers the essence of the world. Killing a few mediocre leaders is not as easy as cutting vegetables with a knife. For many years, the main reason why the Decent Sects didn't dare to attack the Devil Cult was because they were afraid of the Residual Shadow Sword. Now that they have lost the sword, it can be considered that their luck has come to an end. "
Cheng Jiaxuan bit her lips, but her mind was only thinking about Jiang Liechen. She whispered, "But if I really do this, he … he will blame me …" Dorgon misunderstood and explained, "If you go with your face covered, the Decent Sects won't know anything about you. Even if they want to hate you, they will hate the Devil Cult. That's good, it will be convenient for them to work hard to destroy you. In the end, the Imperial Family will still benefit. Besides, what's the big deal about becoming enemies with this group of people who are about to die? "
Xuan Shuang's arms rested on the armrest of the chair. His neck was buried deep, and he sneered repeatedly. His shoulders trembled violently. After a long time, he raised his head and raised his eyebrows. "Grand Imperial Uncle, how come Grandnephew didn't realize you were this cunning before? You're still worried about me, so you took the initiative to reveal Xiao Xuan's identity, so that my mother would know what to do, and prevent me from being nosy and causing trouble. Heh heh, how could I be the kind of person who goes back on his words? It's just that this scheme of yours is really too wonderful for words! "
Cheng Jiaxuan was shocked and scared. She had heard that Shen Shiyun was merciless when dealing with traitors. She didn't want to die with hatred like Luo Jin. She called out in a low voice, "Noble Consort Yun …"
Shen Shiyun's face was as calm as usual. He didn't even look at her as he said to Dorgon, "So the Residual Shadow Sword has always been in Wangye's hands? No wonder I couldn't find anything after six years of searching. Where did you get it from? "Dorgon laughed." Surprised? This is a relic that was brought back from the battlefield. Her Highness probably didn't expect this, right? At that time you were playing with a conspiracy, but it actually allowed me to benefit from it. Speaking of which, I should be thanking you. "
Shen Shiyun didn't get angry, but laughed instead. "I heard the Devil Cult's name has a unique meaning. The word 'shadow' alludes to the Residual Shadow Sword, and the sword is a metaphor for its former master, He Shuo Zhuang Qinwang. The Hierarch of the Devil Cult was his own son, Zaketu, who was originally sentenced to death by Taizu. Who would have thought that he was so lucky that he managed to escape with his face disfigured. He even founded the Sacrifice Shadow Cult to avenge his father's death. He claimed that the current Imperial Family's bloodline was born of concubines. Speaking such rebellious words, his crime is punishable by death. If it was Wangye's younger brother who had this kind of thought, would you place loyalty above all else and place righteousness before family? " Some of the secrets she heard from Jiang Liechen in the Gu Mu, some of them were found in hidden ancient books. These words were really tricky.
Before Dorgon could answer, Cheng Jiaxuan, who was sitting restlessly on the side, called out again, "Her Highness …"
Shen Shiyun swept her an indifferent glance. "You have an important task to complete," she said, "You must take care of yourself. You must eradicate Kunlun and Diancang, two Sects, without leaving anyone alive. You must also capture the Kunlun Sect's Sect Leader alive and bring him here. When you go to Mount Hua and see Sect Leader Meng Anying, there is no harm in chopping him a few more times. The more ruthless the corpse, the better. He should have a secret martial art manual by his side. You must also bring it here in good condition. As for Nangong Xue … you already have a lot of things to do. I'll send someone else to do it. Alright, that's all I'll tell you. Be careful. "She spoke in a completely businesslike tone.
Xuan Shuang picked up his wine cup. He tapped the cup lightly on the table and tapped his heels on the table. With a cold laugh he said, "These trivial matters have nothing to do with the task at all. They're all caused by that Lu Qian from Qingtian Village, aren't they? Humph, they really don't know what's good for them. As a surrendered general, they don't know what's good for them. They're still talking nonsense here. "
Shen Shiyun snorted coldly, "That's right. What's wrong? Do you know him?" Xuan Shuang said, "For the time being, I don't know him. When I have some free time, I'll go and get in touch with him. I'll take the opportunity to find out more about him." Shen Shiyun said, "Lu Qian is frivolous and immoral. He's cunning and lecherous. Don't associate with him." Xuan Shuang sneered, "You can pretend to be friends with them for the sake of benefits, why can't I? Do you think I won't be able to control myself? "
Cheng Jiaxuan held the Residual Shadow Sword in his hand. He stared blankly at the two of them arguing with each other. He was completely at a loss. Dorgon said, "Xiao Xuan, have you heard Noble Consort Yun's request clearly? Why haven't you gone yet? " As soon as Xuan Shuang heard this, he immediately calmed down. Pretending to be glib, he said, "Since the Residual Shadow Sword has a powerful psionic power attached to it, that is to say, no matter who controls it, the effect will be the same. Since that's the case, why don't you send me? The merit can also be recorded on my head. Why should I let the stupid Xiao Xuan take advantage of the ready-made bargain? I'm far more steady than her. Grand Imperial Uncle, you can rest assured. "
Dorgon said, "Lord Baylor Ling, your status is honorable, it's not suitable for you to take on this big responsibility. Moreover, you'll be traveling a long and arduous journey. His Majesty won't see you for several months. If he asks, it won't be easy for us to explain. Besides, Noble Consort Yun won't agree. Xiao Xuan is different. She has never roamed the Jianghu. This time she is going out to see the world, it can be considered a training experience. " Xuan Shuang was not happy. "No matter what you discuss with my Niang," he said, "She will only throw three words at you: 'It won't work.' Why do you need her permission?" He did not want to appear too concerned about Cheng Jiaxuan in front of everybody, so he sullenly swallowed his words.
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Thank you very much for Lord Baylor's understanding." He thought, "If I frame the Sacrifice Shadow Cult like this, perhaps due to a freak combination of factors, he will recognize me. This is a golden opportunity bestowed by Heaven. Why should I be uncomfortable?" With this thought in mind, he readily replied, "Yifu, your daughter will definitely live up to your high expectations!" Shen Shiyun and Dorgon saw her bashful expression earlier, but unexpectedly in the blink of an eye her attitude suddenly changed. They were slightly astonished. Xuan Shuang knew the inside story. Thinking about her complicated entanglement with the Sacrifice Shadow Cult, he felt a dull pain in his heart. He silently watched Cheng Jiaxuan leave. He did not even have the strength to tell her to take care of herself.
Shen Shiyun waited until the Imperial Bodyguards closed the main door before she turned her head to Dorgon. "Wangye," she coldly said, "To put it bluntly," she said, "Ben gong and you are not on the same side, and we have always been on the opposite side of you. Why did you suddenly have a strange idea this time, not hesitating to expose Xiao Xuan's identity to pull Ben gong into your cooperation? If you don't explain this matter clearly, I won't be at ease. "Dorgon smiled faintly and said," Ben gong just praised Niangniang's intelligence. How can you disappoint me so quickly? Let's put this matter aside for now. Xiao Xuan is a chess piece that I placed by your side. Do you really not care about this secret at all? "
Shen Shiyun sneered and said, "If Ben gong really cared about it, would she still be alive now? Does Wangye think that my vigilance isn't even as good as my son's? Of course, Ben gong already knew Xiao Xuan's goal, but Ben gong still didn't show it. Ben gong allowed her to stay by my side and pass on information to you from time to time. Have you never suspected anything? Have you never thought that Xiao Xuan might have been bribed by Ben gong to become a double spy? "
Xuan Shuang heard these words. They seemed calm, but there was a hidden danger. He hurriedly said, "Xiao Xuan has never done such a thing. Even if she was used by my empress, Xiao Xuan wouldn't know! Grand Imperial Uncle, although Xiao Xuan isn't your biological daughter, you were the one who brought her up. Don't tell me that you still don't know her personality? "
Dorgon looked at Shen Shiyun and said with a smile, "Xiao Xuan's every move is under Ben Gong's control. Of course, Ben Gong wouldn't wrongly accuse her. Just now, Lord Baylor Ling mentioned getting someone else to do the dirty work. Six years ago, the Chen family was completely wiped out. It was widely rumored in Jianghu that it was the Devil Sect's evil plan. In fact, that should have been your doing, right? In other words, you're the enemy that Xiao Xuan has been looking for for many years? "
Shen Shiyun sneered and said, "So what if I am? Even if she knows the truth, can she still come to kill Ben gong for revenge? Since Wangye understands the severity of the matter, don't tell her things that shouldn't be said. Perhaps she can live a little longer. Let her continue to hate the Devil Sect. Only then will she be willing to risk everything to take revenge. We just need to wait for the net to be pulled in. "
Dorgon sighed and said, "Your guess is indeed correct. Alright, you win this round. However, if we really want to subdue the Devil Sect in one fell swoop, relying only on the scattered factions in Jianghu is far from enough. Ben Gong needs to borrow your strength. Speaking of Wangye's subordinates, there are really a lot of talents. Not only the Devil Sect's Hall Master, but even the Qingtian Village's Head Chieftain and Wulin's Alliance Master are willing to be under your command. However, everyone can only be called a 'talent' if they use all their talents. Otherwise, they can only be a useless chess piece. "
Shen Shiyun sneered and said, "Ben gong cultivates zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. There's no need for Wangye to teach me the art of chess. I already had a plan. Six years ago, I took in An Yesun precisely for today's plan. This person has a great reputation in the outside world, but unexpectedly, he's also a useless taciturn gourd. He doesn't even know how to hold a grudge. These days, whenever the Devil Sect's Hierarch Jiang is mentioned, he doesn't have much resentment. Back then, this consort had to spend so much effort talking to him in order to incite his hatred. In just a few short years, he had actually forgotten all about it. Truly, a comfortable life has dulled one's temperament! He keeps saying how much he loves that demoness Chu Menglin, but in Ben gong's opinion, he doesn't love her that much. The tragedy of Shadowless Mountain Villa's annihilation is still fresh in my memory. Since when did I give up on myself like he did? He wants to live a peaceful life, but Ben gong won't allow it. I've already thought of a plan to provoke him one last time. I don't believe that he won't take the bait. "
Dorgon looked slightly doubtful. Shen Shiyun smiled faintly and hooked her finger at the two of them, indicating that they should come closer. Soon after, she whispered something to them. When Dorgon heard that, his face stiffened. He smiled and said, "It's a good plan, but it's a bit despicable." Shen Shiyun sneered and said, "In Wangye's eyes, can you see despicable?" When Dorgon heard that, his face darkened. He knew that Dorgon was a hundred times more despicable.
Xuan Shuang's reaction was the most intense. As soon as Shen Shiyun finished speaking, he immediately jumped up from his chair and shouted, "No, I won't agree! Doing this kind of thing is too shameless. There's no glory even if I win. Although that Devil Sect's Hierarch is hateful, when he deals with you, at least his methods have always been open and aboveboard. You can't play dirty tricks in the dark! " Shen Shiyun coldly said, "You don't know what methods Jiang Liechen used against Ben gong. What qualifications do you have to criticize my actions? His conduct is extremely despicable. I don't even want to mention it. How can it be called open and aboveboard? "
