Shen Shiyun stood to the side, listening quietly without saying a word. At this time, she stood up and walked to Li Yijie's side. She faintly said, "Miss Nangong's disappearance was not caused by Qing Tian Village. Right now, Minister Lu is the same as you, this Consort's subordinate. I will treat everyone equally and cannot be partial to anyone. I also cannot let you find trouble with him. Have you ever thought that the Demon Cult kidnapped Miss Nangong because she and Minister Li are from the same sect? They want to use her safety to restrain the Wulin Alliance Head? "
Sha Qi nodded and said, "This is not impossible. The Alliance Head is from our Huashan Pai. Every Shixiong and Shijie's face is also very bright."
Shen Shiyun said, "That's exactly the case. Minister Li, the most important thing right now is that your sect has encountered a great disaster. There is no one to lead it. I am afraid that the Demon Cult will take advantage of the situation and completely eradicate Huashan Pai. As the Alliance Head and the eldest disciple who is most appreciated by Shifu, it would be better for you to return to the mountain as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation. "
Li Yijie happily said, "Yun … Noble Consort Yun, this general also has the same idea. I was worried about how to tell you. Your magnanimity in allowing me to take a leave is a great favor to this general. I will definitely deal with the matter at hand as soon as possible and immediately return to the palace to serve you! "
Sha Qi scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Shixiong, I was not threatened by that witch … Actually, this time I came to find you on my own initiative. Shifu is lying on the sickbed and has not mentioned your name even once. I think it is because of you … you … matter. Shifu's anger has not subsided. He might not be happy to see you. "He secretly glanced at Shen Shiyun. Seeing her on the side, he knew that some things should not be said too directly.
Li Yijie was not tactful. He sighed deeply and dejectedly said, "That's right. Shifu had high hopes for me. He hoped that I would become the Wulin Alliance Head and have great achievements. He hoped that I would be able to restore the Han Dynasty's rivers and mountains. But I … but I gave the imperial court …"
Shen Shiyun sneered and said, "Minister Li, don't blame this Consort for speaking rudely. Your Shifu Meng is really a little stubborn. In the past, the Ming Dynasty had accumulated a great deal of corruption. First, the Imperial Court was destroyed by the Imperial Army. Then, Da Shun lost the hearts of the people. Only then did the Qing court enter the Central Plains. It didn't matter what strategy he used. His foundation was built on the battlefield with his saber and spear. What was there to be ashamed of? Master Meng's vision was narrow, but he couldn't be blamed. These were all old ideas that had been passed down from the older generation for several generations, but he insisted on insisting on racial differences. Be it the Han people or the Manchu people, as long as an emperor can make the country prosperous and the people peaceful, he is a benevolent and righteous ruler. Otherwise, even if you, the disciple of the Alliance Master, become the emperor, you may not be able to achieve much. "Do you know that the barbarians aren't the only ones eyeing the Central Plains? The countries at the borders are also using business as an excuse to sell firearms and are planning to invade the land. What's more, the demons of the Devil Cult have internal strife. Shouldn't we unite and destroy them first? "
Hearing her insulting his Shifu, and what she said was poles apart from what he had been taught for many years, Li Yijie was extremely displeased. Toward her infatuated and bitter love, he became even more apathetic. Pulling Sha Qi, he said, "Xiao Shidi, let's go back. On Shifu's side, I will go to him to bring a bramble and beg for his forgiveness. "
Sha Qi was dragged along by him for several steps. Suddenly he turned his head around and called out, "Noble Consort Yun … Noble Consort Yun, Niangniang! Aren't you very formidable? In the Wulin world, whenever the Devil Cult's Hierarch Jiang is mentioned, only you are qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. You have annexed many of their factions, causing the Devil Cult to go downhill for several years; this effect is definitely not accidental! You are Shadowless Villa's Shen Daxia's daughter. If you are willing to stand out and command all the heroes, we will be wholeheartedly convinced. Who would dare not to listen to your order? "
With a faint smile Shen Shiyun said, "Sha Shao Xia's words have touched my heart. Bengong originally had the same intention. In contrast, the Devil Cult is our common primary enemy. When you return to Mount Hua, gather the heroes from all sides and draw up a strategic plan and schedule. I will persuade His Majesty to send troops to help. Whether we can successfully defeat the Devil Cult or not, success or failure will depend on this one move; it is a matter of great importance. This time we are staking everything on one throw. In short, we can only succeed, we cannot fail. "Sha Qi was so grateful that he shed tears." Noble Consort Yun, "he said," Thank you very much, Niangniang. You are really a good person! "
"You don't need to thank me," Shen Shiyun said, "Bengong is trying to mediate the enmity between the officials and the people, to make all the common people live in harmony, to make our country stable." Sha Qi happily said, "In the past we were indeed frogs at the bottom of the well. Turns out the Manchurian Emperor's beloved concubine can also be so amiable and approachable. On behalf of common people, I thank you!" Li Yijie's initial discomfort vanished like smoke into thin air. "Noble Consort Yun," he said, "In that case, we will take our leave first." And then he saluted. Sha Qi also imitated him; he saluted half-heartedly, and then followed Li Yijie out of the hall.
In front of the Palace Hall's gate, they happened to come face to face with someone. Both sides were walking in a hurry, so they nearly bumped into each other. Li Yijie stepped to the side to evade. In the Palace, he had always been patient wherever he could, so as to avoid conflict with the court officials as much as possible. He was just about to open his mouth to apologize, but as soon as he saw the man's identity, his eyebrows immediately knitted together. "An Ye … perished?" he said in displeasure. An Yesun's countenance was grave and stern, his eyes did not stray.
Sha Qi was knocked a step back and nearly fell down. He angrily turned his head around and glared. "What kind of person is that?" he complained in a low voice. "Look at his appearance, his eyes are simply growing on top of his head!" Li Yijie pulled his arm and said, "That's enough. Don't say anymore!"
As soon as Shen Shiyun saw An Yesun, he was immediately overjoyed. He stepped forward and said, "Young Marshal Yun, you've thought it over so quickly? You're a smart person. This Palace believes that your answer will not disappoint me. "An Yesun snorted coldly. He casually dragged a chair over and sat down." Don't be in a hurry to block me with words. For the past few days, every word you've said to me, including the words you said to me in the prison cell six years ago, I've carefully thought over them all. I haven't missed a single word. "Shen Shiyun smiled and said," My words are worth you taking to heart. This Palace is honored. "
An Yesun continued, "In the end, I've come to a conclusion. All of your beautiful words were just to fool me. You just wanted to use me to achieve your goal. " Shen Shiyun's lips moved. Just as he was about to explain, An Yesun raised his hand and made a 'stop' gesture. "After all, it's been many years. What happened in the past can't be traced back. There's no point in bringing up old scores with you. You've deceived me once. I hope there won't be a second time. Otherwise … humph, I'd rather die as a piece of jade than as an intact tile. "
Shen Shiyun smiled apologetically and said, "This Palace knows that your personality is just this extreme. That's why I've always respected you more than others. I wanted you to leave the Sacrifice Shadow Sect because I was thinking about you … "An Yesun coldly said," Stop being so long-winded. I've thought about it. I can go and kill Jiang Liechen, but I won't participate in your so-called grand plan to destroy the Sacrifice Shadow Sect. " Shen Shiyun said, "To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader. If you kill the Devil Cult's Hierarch, the entire sect will collapse on its own. What's the difference between the two?"
An Yesun said, "Of course it's different. The life and death battle with Jiang Liechen was to avenge Menglin and the former Hierarch. It's a personal grudge between me and him. It's completely voluntary and I don't want anyone else to interfere. But if we destroy the Sacrifice Shadow Sect, it's only because I'm following orders. You and I are even now. There's no need for me to listen to your orders anymore. That's the place where I grew up. Even more than that, there's a lot of memories between me and Menglin. I don't want it to disappear. I also don't want to be a despicable person who eats one's food while secretly helping another. "
Shen Shiyun said, "You're this Palace's subordinate. You're the Great Qing's Young Marshal. You've severed all ties with the Sacrifice Shadow Sect six years ago. You can't be considered 'eating one's food while secretly helping another' anymore. Ay, you've always been so stubborn. I remember when you first surrendered, you also said that you'd obey my orders, but you wouldn't accept any of my requests. Sometimes this Palace really doesn't understand. The end result is clearly the same, so why do you have to separate the motives one by one? "
An Yesun said, "That's not the same. If a person doesn't even know why he's doing something, then it's better to just wash your hands and not do it. If you want to order me around, you must first give me a reason that I can accept. " Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "That's good. What do you think of this reason? You went to the Devil Cult's headquarters alone. You didn't have any righteous experts keeping an eye on you, so they secretly followed you from behind. At the same time, you passed through the traps. This doesn't violate your principles, does it?"
An Yesun sneered and said, "No need. My vigilance isn't that bad. You don't have to trouble yourself with these hypocritical excuses. I can lead the way, but I have a condition first. In the end, only I can kill Jiang Liechen. No one else is allowed to touch him. Otherwise, I won't be polite. "
Shen Shiyun frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult. The Devil Jiang Liechen has done all kinds of evil. There are hundreds and thousands of people who want to take his life with their own hands. This Palace is one of them. For everyone to go through untold hardships to break into the Devil Cult's headquarters and come face to face with him, but not to kill him, it's hard to say … "
An Yesun's eyes turned cold. He said, "If someone doesn't behave, I can only take care of them first. Then I'll deal with Jiang Liechen." Shen Shiyun said sarcastically, "What? You want to protect your enemy? Isn't that preposterous? "An Yesun coldly said," Whether it is or not, it's not something you should be concerned about. "
At the same time, Lu Qian was tidying up his clothes in his room. Ever since he was taught a lesson last time, he was much more restrained with Nangong Xue. Although he still couldn't help but fantasize about her spring scenery whenever he saw her loose clothes, he only dared to let his imagination run wild. He didn't dare to touch her anymore. At night, Nangong Xue asked him to take the bedding and sleep in the courtyard. Lu Qian obediently complied. Not only did he give the bed to Nangong Xue, he also left the quilt behind, saying that he was afraid she would catch a cold.
Nangong Xue gradually got used to it and no longer avoided him whenever she saw him. However, the grudge in her heart couldn't be eliminated in a short period of time. Most of the time, she ignored him. Occasionally, when she couldn't avoid him, she would frown and reply with a few words. Her face was full of impatience, and the disgust in her heart was as clear as day.
One day, while she was lost in thought, she suddenly saw Lu Qian change into a loose maroon robe and tighten his belt. If he was working for Shen Shiyun, he should be wearing the Manchurian Qing's official robes. She didn't understand and stared at him for a while.
While Lu Qian was changing his clothes, he secretly glanced at Nangong Xue, who was hugging her knees and sitting on the inner side of the bed. When he noticed that she was staring at him, he was overjoyed. He thought that she had developed feelings for him over time, or that she was attracted to his handsome appearance. He turned sideways to face Nangong Xue and showed the lower hem of his robe. He smiled and said, "Xueer, look at me. Do you think it fits?"
Nangong Xue saw him fiddling with his robe and couldn't help but recall the time when he tried to molest her. He also undid his robe and threw it to the ground. She suddenly felt a heartfelt hatred. She humphed and turned her face to the wall.
Lu Qian helplessly sighed and walked to the bedside. He smiled apologetically and said, "Xueer, are you still angry? Ay, it was my fault that day, but you can only blame yourself for being too beautiful. I was impulsive and couldn't control myself. I've already apologized to you several times. Why can't you forgive me? "
When Nangong Xue heard him downplay the humiliation that day, she became even angrier. She coldly said, "Isn't it enough that you've apologized? After something like that happened, which girl wouldn't care? There are some mistakes that, once made, will cause permanent damage. How can you make up for it with just a few words? "
Lu Qian dryly laughed and said, "Then what do you want me to do? What's done is done. I can't turn back time. Besides … Besides, I didn't succeed in the end, right? Besides, I really do regret it. You always say that I'm not sincere, so tell me honestly. How many times do you want me to apologize before you believe in my sincerity and forgive me? "
