"So, what's Qin Hui's plan to turn the tables?"
Sun Lang racked his brains, but still couldn't come up with a solution. On the other side, Daoist White Snow had just finished his counterattack and knocked down Zhang Jianyuan. Hearing Sun Lang's words, the Daoist White Snow remembered the hatred from before and sneered, "Counterattack?
Stop dreaming!
Our advantage is so … "
Before he could finish his words, Sun Lang shot out like lightning. He grabbed a piece of chestnut pastry from the plate and threw it right into the Taoist priest's mouth. Not only did he beat the Taoist priest's wild ambition into his stomach, he also beat him to the ground, perfectly avoiding a troublesome matter from happening.
Zhang Jianyuan was just a little careless and was knocked down by Taoist Bai Xue. At this time, he struggled and wanted to take revenge, but he saw Master Sun coming to help. He looked at Taoist Bai Xue on the ground and roared excitedly. He pressed Taoist Bai Xue to the ground and punched him.
"That was close."
Sun Lang wiped the non-existent cold sweat and decided to leave this place. It was too f * cking exciting to discuss plans with people like Taoist Bai Xue.
He waved his hand and went to a remote corner with Housekeeper Xu. He said to her, "Come, let's continue to analyze how Qin Youtiao will turn the tables … Today, when I was tracking Qin Youtiao, I saw a few people from the Ranger's Guild wandering around. In addition, there were many people outside the Zhongyi Building. Old Hu should be suspicious.
Although Stick Hu is rough, he is careful. Since he decided to be careful, he will not just pretend. So, Qin Hui's plan to get reinforcements from the capital is basically impossible … "
Zhao Feihuang noticed that Sun Lang's attention had been diverted, so she naturally wouldn't continue to quarrel with Zhang Yinluo. She grinned and leaned forward, listening attentively for a few words. Then, she also raised her hand and said, "Qin Youtiao said that he wants to show me and Stick Hu the written memorials. When the time comes, I will also check them carefully!"
Sun Lang smiled to express his approval, and Miss Zhao laughed as if she had just left the headquarters.
Then, he raised a finger. "Mingzhou is already an iron bucket. Regarding this matter, Qin Hui can no longer find a shred of evidence because all of the important links are under our control. He also has no way of obtaining reinforcements from the Imperial Capital. Old Hu is watching him closely. Even if he wants to use his authority as an imperial envoy, it will probably be very difficult."
Xu Qingluan asked doubtfully, "Using the authority of an imperial envoy?
What is he trying to do? "
"Who the hell knows?"
Sun Lang pretended to be deep and said, "During the Holy Grail War in Hangzhou, Zhao Gou used up twelve Command Incantations in a row to make Yue Fei commit suicide. Brother Fei's Magic Dick is simply amazing. Although Stick Hu isn't as powerful, he's still an Archer. So no matter what Qin Hui wants to do, it's useless."
Xu Qingluan rolled her eyes and looked at Zhao Feihuang in dismay. Sun Lang was saying something that no one could understand again …
And when Sun Lang said this, he was suddenly shocked and slapped his thigh. "Suicide … Hey, Qin Hui wouldn't commit suicide, right!"
The young girls were stunned at the same time.
"You see, you see …" Sun Lang said seriously, "Under this kind of situation, if the imperial envoy suddenly died in Mingzhou and the news spread to the court, wouldn't that be f * cked?
No matter what, a dignified imperial envoy dying in Mingzhou, no matter how you look at it, this is slapping the stupid Emperor's face. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to endure it either.
Not to mention the court and the common people, the central government would investigate strictly. Even the yamen of Mingzhou that is sitting calmly on the fishing platform right now would jump up and down as if their butts were on fire. Then they would have to stay as far away from Marquis Jingan fu as possible … "
He spread his hands and said, "Think about it, that kind of situation, wouldn't it be very terrible?"
Xu Qingluan was stunned and then her expression changed slightly. It seemed that she was seriously considering the consequences of this kind of thing. The more she thought, the more panicked she became. Then she instinctively raised her head to look at Eldest Miss, wanting to obtain psychological comfort from Zhao Feihuang. However, she only saw Eldest Miss reveal a helpless smile.
Housekeeper Xu was actually not stupid and quickly reacted. He said angrily, "We're talking about serious matters!
What nonsense are you saying!
Lord Qin was fine, why would he commit suicide? "
Zhao Feihuang also said with a smile, "Sun Lang, don't bully Xu jiejie too much."
Sun Lang spread his hands and said, "How is this nonsense?
I'm just explaining a situation, a situation where Qin Hui could still call for outside help … "
Unfortunately, Xu Qingluan rolled her eyes, clearly not believing him. Zhao Feihuang also only smiled. It seemed that he also didn't believe him.
Sun Lang shrugged and closed his mouth. In any case, he had never counted on Marquis Jingan fu to be of any help. If she didn't want to listen, then so be it.
And Xu Qingluan frowned as if she thought of something. She hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "Sir Sun … I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
"… As long as you don't say that your mother sold her out, you can say anything."
"…" As usual, Xu Qingluan ignored this nonsense. She deliberated over her words and carefully said, "I just feel that you seem to be somewhat … reversed.
I think that Marquis Jingan fu's greatest enemy is not Imperial Envoy Qin Hui, but that … Empress Tensei.
Qin daren has already lost the ability to resist after experiencing your multiple blows and perfect schemes. But even if Qin daren yielded and presented a memorial that is absolutely beneficial to Marquis Jingan fu, calming the public opinion in court, this does not mean that this matter will end like this … … "
She softly said, "Because our betrayal is still a thorn in that daren's heart. The secret that we hold is enough for her to always remember. Wanting to get rid of us quickly, this is our greatest enemy. This is what we should be preparing and scheming for …"
Housekeeper Xu said this and then glanced at Zhao Feihuang, "Eldest Miss loves you deeply and is willing to trust you unconditionally, but I cannot blindly blindly blindly blindly follow your lead. I must have an overall grasp and understanding of this matter because … the affairs of the world are unpredictable and constantly changing. I don't know what kind of ending you and Eldest Miss will have in the future, but …"
She gazed at Sun Lang and calmly said, "I will always guard by Eldest Miss' side and will never leave her. So I need to know your plans and understand your goals. This is my mission and task. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
Her words were calm but contained an unshakable power, to the extent that Young Miss Zhao ignored the offense towards Sun Lang and the distrust towards this relationship in her words. She could not even say a single word of reprimand. Zhao Feihuang was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. She held Xu Qingluan's hands, "Older Sister Xu …"
Xu Qingluan revealed a smile, looking at the master that she wanted to protect for her entire life … As long as Eldest Miss can be peaceful and happy, whatever happens to me, it doesn't matter …
Then, she heard Young Miss Zhao say emotionally, "Don't worry, Older Sister Xu, the Sun family will always have a place for you …"
"En, Eldest Miss, I will always be Sun … eh eh eh eh?
Sun family!?
Eldest Miss, what are you saying ah! "
Zhao Feihuang said matter-of-factly, "I will naturally be the mistress of the Sun family in the future. If Older Sister Xu wants to be with me forever, of course, you will have to marry into the family together with me."
Young Miss Zhao had said this many times, but Xu Qingluan was still full of resistance. She shook her head vigorously. "No, no, no, Eldest Miss, I won't marry, I won't marry …"
Zhao Feihuang said with tears in her eyes, "Older Sister Xu, you don't want me anymore?"
Xu Qingluan suddenly shook her head. "How can that be!
Eldest Miss, I will always guard you! "
Young Miss Zhao took Butler Xu's hand, shook it, and said in a coquettish tone, "So, Older Sister Xu will also marry Sun Lang. Sun Lang is so good. Older Sister Xu, if you don't hurry up and take action, are you going to give the opportunity to those cows who don't respect themselves?"
"… Eldest Miss, I think the one who needs to respect herself the most is you."
During this period, Sun Lang had been standing aside and listening with a hearty smile on his face. With his thick skin, he didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, nor did he have any boring feelings such as "Oh, it's really embarrassing". No matter how one looked at it, this guy's face clearly only had something like "So good, so good" written on it …
Knowing that Xu Qingluan was in a difficult situation, she glared at him fiercely. Only then did Sun Lang come out to rescue her. He nodded at Xu Qingluan and said, "Loyal dog … I mean loyal people. I have a good impression of them, so it's okay to tell you.
I know that if I say that I welcome Empress to make trouble and tell you not to be afraid, you will definitely not believe me … "
Xu Qingluan nodded without hesitation. She was His Majesty's favorite princess, one of the most brilliant generals at the end of the Tianyuan War, and even a strong contender for the throne. No matter how powerful his martial arts were, no matter how mysterious his origin was, could he wrestle with that kind of noble family?
Sun Lang saw the subtext under her expression and just smiled. "So, in the past two days, I have discussed with Old Hu and come up with a plan. If you want to completely solve this matter, you have to use two pipes at the same time. One pipe is inserted into the imperial court, and the other pipe is inserted into the Empress …"
He said something very important as if nothing had happened. Ignoring Steward Xu's strange look, he continued, "The imperial court is the imperial envoy. If a perfect answer sheet is handed back, you will cry more miserably and find some water army to hype up for you. Under the pressure of public opinion, the emperor will definitely be rewarded greatly. The significance of this matter is that the matter of the demon device has an official conclusion. In the future, if someone talks about this matter, it will be equal to slapping the emperor in the face. We seem to have discussed this before."
"Let's talk about the other side. You are right to be worried. According to that woman's character, if she can't do it openly, she will definitely do it secretly. She will not pin her hope on others."
Sun Lang said lightly, "This matter needs a highly respected Martial Merit of Tianyuan to show up and negotiate with this woman, which means to let this matter pass.
Everything has a risk assessment. Empress is afraid that this matter will be exposed and hinder her competition for the throne. This is her risk. And if you take the initiative to expose this matter, it will cause the Marquis fu to be exterminated. This is your risk … … "
"So, you only need to make her feel that moving against the Marquis of Jingan fu is not worth the losses. And if you take the initiative to expose her, the losses will also not be worth the gains. After weighing the pros and cons, I'm afraid that she will not use any violent methods to break it."
Sun Lang smiled, "She is the kind of crazy woman who will disregard everything if she feels that she has a 50% chance. But if this chance drops to 49%, then she will definitely not act rashly … … so, once she recognizes the risks involved, then this matter can be negotiated."
"And the remaining details are to make her believe that the confidentiality of this matter has already been done flawlessly. And Qin Hui's answer sheet can clearly prove this point … …"
Hearing this, Xu Qingluan could not help but say, "You … … know Empress?"
Sun Lang said indifferently, "We're friends who have gone through life and death."
For a moment, looking at Sun Lang's appearance, Xu Qingluan and Zhao Feihuang did not dare to ask more.
And Sun Lang clearly did not want to say more, "So, we don't need to worry about Empress's matter. Whatever happens is fine. Right now, I only pay attention to Qin Hui because I understand him. I have never fully understood him, but my instincts tell me that this guy is capable of doing anything … …"
Zhao Feihuang nodded, "Then should we continue to make arrangements to guard against Lord Qin's final desperate actions?"
Sun Lang snapped his fingers, "Smart. This is the reason why I invited these friends over. Come, brothers, the Lord God has issued a mission. Come … …"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door. Xu Qingluan and Zhao Feihuang looked at each other, nodded, and then said loudly, "Come in, what's the matter?"
A steward of the Marquis's mansion hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. He first bowed to Zhao Feihuang, then looked around the crowd and his eyes fell on Zhang Yinluo.
The cow demon blinked and pointed to herself, "Looking for me?"
The steward clasped his hands and bowed, "Miss Zhang, the steward of your mansion is outside the door. He sent a message saying that your father, Mr. Zhang, was unwell last night and missed Miss Zhang, so he sent someone to invite you back to stay for a few days. I wonder … …"
Zhang Yinluo looked anxious. He stood up and said repeatedly, "My father is ill?
What's the matter? "
Sun Lang walked over and said softly, "Don't worry, your father's martial arts are not bad. When I visited him a few days ago, he was full of energy, his hands and feet were strong, and his body was strong. There won't be anything serious. Let's invite the steward in and ask him first."
Hearing Sun Lang's voice, Yinluo seemed to have found his backbone. His hand unconsciously climbed onto Sun Lang's arm, "Sun Lang … …"
Miss Zhao's face was cold, and she quietly bit her handkerchief.
After a moment, the steward of the Zhang mansion was invited in. Zhang Yinluo recognized him and shouted, "Elder Zou!
How is my father?! "
"Miss, don't worry. Master's martial arts are profound, and he will live a long life. There is nothing serious."
The old steward lowered his eyes and said, "It's just that when people are ill, they will always feel distracted and depressed. Those who have children will naturally miss their children. Master is the same, so he wants to ask Miss to go back and take care of him for a few days … …"
Sun Lang frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple.
