No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 278 Betrayal!

The atmosphere in the Liushang Pavilion was a little quiet, and the young girl stood with her back facing them not far from the pavilion, and there was no one else in sight.

Pavilion Master Mingyin slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and the expression on his face regained his composure.

He looked at the two people opposite him and chuckled, "It seems that the Regent knows a lot more than I expected."

Xie Yan looked at him and said, "So, why do you want to see me?"

Pavilion Master Mingyin sighed and said, "It seems that the reason I prepared earlier cannot be used directly."

Xie Yan lowered his eyes and remained silent, but there was a hint of impatience evident between his brows.

The owner of Mingyin Pavilion obviously knows that he will accept it when he sees it, and he stopped going around in circles and said solemnly: "I know that the Prince Regent's Palace is not interested in Mingyin Pavilion. What the prince wants to find is Dongling Luan Ceremony who is hidden under Mingyin Pavilion. ’” Xie Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and asked, “So, it’s really Luan Ceremony behind the Mingyin Pavilion?”

The owner of Mingyin Pavilion chuckled lightly, shook his head and said: "The former owner of Mingyin Pavilion did have some relationship with Yisi Luan, but...Mingyin Pavilion has nothing to do with Yisi Luan." Mingyin Pavilion master said, "The former owner of Mingyin Pavilion was my master. He was originally one of the two deputy commanders of Luan Ceremony Division. He left Luan Ceremony Division more than 30 years ago and established Mingyin Pavilion in the capital. Yinge. He has already betrayed Ceremony Luan, so...Mingyin Pavilion has never used the power of Ceremony Luan, and he has even been hiding from Ceremony Luan for a long time."

Luo Junyao held his chin in thought, and suddenly said: "Xueya is a member of Yisi Luan. Yisi Luan wants your master to return, or wants to annex Mingyin Pavilion for his own use. Your master disagrees, so you and Xue Ya conspired to kill your master."

The Master of Pavilion Mingyin glanced at Luo Jun in surprise, and found that the regent princess did not have the slightest emotion in her tone or eyes.It seemed that what she was talking about was not about an apprentice deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors, but about commenting on the bad taste of the tea in front of her.

Xie Yan asked: "Then why did you come to see this king?" Pavilion Master Mingyin was obviously in the same group as Xue Ya or Yisi Luan, so it couldn't be because of a sudden conscience that he ran to the regent and blew himself up, right?
Pavilion Master Mingyin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "I'm actually not interested in the Luan Ceremony, the Prince Regent's Mansion or anything else. But the current situation seems to allow me to do nothing. The people under my command discovered that yesterday Some of the elites of Zhen Guojun and Ding Guo Jun left the camp at night and lost their traces. Most of the remaining soldiers and horses seem to be in the process of mobilization. What do you want to do, Prince and General Luo?"

Xie Yan's eyes sank, he glanced at him coldly and said: "Mingyin Pavilion is monitoring the Zhen Guojun camp."

The master of Mingyin Pavilion helplessly raised his hands as a sign of surrender, and said with a smile, "I have no malicious intentions."

Xie Yan said: "I don't have any malicious intentions, the pavilion master can treat it as an ordinary change of defense."

Luo Junyao glanced at Xie Yan, thinking that his reason was too nonsense.Neither the Zhen Guo Army nor the Ding Guo Army are soldiers guarding Gyeonggi, and they are currently in a rest period, so there is no such thing as changing defenses.

"My lord seems to have guessed what Luan Yisi's people want to do." The Mingyin pavilion master said with a gloomy expression.

Xie Yan shook his head and said, "I haven't even found the shadow of Ceremony Luan, but... I'm used to planning for the worst. You suddenly brought so many people into Beijing, it's not for the purpose of robbing the royal treasury and the treasury. Now , Pavilion Master can talk about your reason for coming."

Pavilion Master Mingyin looked at him and said, "How will my attitude affect the prince's decision?"

Xie Yan said: "Eliminate Yisi Luan or the difference between Yisi Luan and Mingyin Pavilion."

The master of Mingyin Pavilion smiled when he heard the words, "I thought the prince was ready to level down Mingyin Pavilion at any time."

Xie Yan said: "Give up the underground palace of Mingyin Pavilion, you can choose to bring Shangyong out alive alone."

Pavilion Master Mingyin was startled, and looked at Xie Yan steadfastly, as if trying to see through him.

But it's a pity that Xie Yan is not the kind of person who can be seen through at a glance.Xie Yan leisurely continued to add a sentence, "The premise is that the fact that you came to see this king without authorization today will not cause you to ruin your own life first. No one in this world will like a traitor."

After being silent for a while, the owner of the Mingyin Pavilion laughed again, and said: "My lord, don't worry, after all, I am the owner of the Mingyin Pavilion. See you here."

"Really." Xie Yan said noncommittally.

Pavilion Master Mingyin sighed and said, "I don't know how much the lord knows. I'm not interested in these things. I just want to live a good and free life. That was the case when I killed my master, and it is the same now... Xue Ya... I don't think the same way as him, but unfortunately we have been unable to agree on this matter."

"What is Xueya's status in Luan Yisi?" Xie Yan asked.

Pavilion Master Mingyin shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Looking at Luo Junyao's distrustful eyes, Pavilion Master Mingyin sighed and said seriously: "I really don't know, in fact...except for the time when I killed my master, I have never been in contact with the so-called Yisi Luan. It's been a long time I'm going to think that Xueya is my Luan Yisi's luthier in the first place."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "If you don't know anything, why are you looking for us?"

The master of the Mingyin Pavilion smiled and said, "Shangyong has seen so many underworld masters recently. Will the court ignore it? The two of you must already know the purpose of those masters?"

"A mysterious treasure house near the capital?"

Pavilion Master Mingyin said: "That's not fake."

Luo Junyao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "You mean, you really found a treasure house?"

The owner of the Mingyin Pavilion shook his head and said: "To be precise, we created a treasure house." The owner of the Mingyin Pavilion looked at the shining eyes of the girl opposite, and said: "All the income of the Mingyin Pavilion in the past five years has been put in Inside, there is even the wealth that Luan Yisi got from no one knows where, even I can't help but feel moved when I saw it. So, it is really a treasure house that can be spent in several lifetimes. "

Luo Junyao had seen the earning power of Mingyin Pavilion with his own eyes. Even if it wasn't as exaggerated as that night, after deducting the operating costs, it would be a huge amount of wealth that many people and even families would not be able to save for several lifetimes.

"What do you want to do?" Xie Yan asked.

Mingyin Pavilion Master said: "In three days, this secret will be announced to the world."

Xie Yan and Luo Jun frowned, they both knew what kind of sensation this secret would cause once it was revealed.At that time, not only those masters of the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that even those dignitaries and even ordinary people will want a piece of the pie.

Pavilion Master Mingyin seemed a little tired, and leaned lazily on the tea table, saying: "My lord, you can ask one more question."

Xie Yan was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked, "The place where the treasure is hidden is not outside the city, but inside the city?"

The master of Mingyin Pavilion was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he fell on the table and laughed in a low voice.As if hearing something funny, the laughter became louder and louder, even the young girl who was still some distance away from the gazebo couldn't help turning around and looking over.

After laughing for a long time, Pavilion Master Mingyin raised his head, and there was still a sparkle in his eyes.

He slowly nodded towards the two, "That's right, but I don't know where the location is. I didn't do these things."

Xie Yan asked: "What if this king goes to capture Xueya now?"

The Master of Mingyin Pavilion smiled regretfully and said: "You can't find Xueya now, and I can't find him either. If what you want to catch is the current one of the Ruan family, the prince can go now."

Xie Yan stood up, and Luo Junyao also stood up.

Xie Yan looked down at the young man lying on the table, "You still haven't told me what your purpose is for doing this. Yisi Luan will not let the traitor go, you probably don't want to end up like your master."

Mingyin Pavilion Master Youyou said: "Maybe I just can't bear the consequences. I don't know who is the real behind-the-scenes person in these matters, and I don't know what the final result will be. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Mingyin Yin Ge is so rich that the country can do anything... When the master just died, I thought everything would be better. But now I realize that I don’t know anything, and I can’t do anything. I’m not even sure, right now These things are really planned by Yisi Luan, or is there someone else behind the scenes? For example, the Jinluan Talisman, the prince may think that the Jinluan Talisman was thrown by Yisi Luan. In fact, Yisi Luan lost The Jinluan Talisman has been around for many years, and they don't even know how the Jinluan Talisman came out."

Luo Junyao was a little surprised and said: "So, because you can't control the situation, you simply decided to join the enemy?" As far as Mingyin Pavilion and Luan Yisi were concerned, the Prince Regent's Mansion was indeed their enemy.

The master of Mingyin Pavilion smiled and said: "It is Luan Yisi who is against Dasheng, not Mingyin Pavilion. But the princess can really think so, because I think your chances of winning will be greater."

"Why?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.

The master of Mingyin Pavilion said: "Last night I played dice alone, betting whether the person behind the scenes is in Luan Yisi or the court, and the result was the latter."

"..." What the hell reason is this.

Xie Yan took Luo Junyao's hand and walked out, leaving only a faint sentence, "This king's promise is still valid. If you can live until the matter is over, you can take a living person to leave Shangyong."

Behind him, the master of Mingyin Pavilion raised his glass with a smile and said, "Thank you, my lord."

After Xie Yan and Luo Junyao left, Miss Qing came in from the outside. She knelt down on one side with a pale face, and said in a low voice: "Master, you do this..."

The Master of Mingyin Pavilion raised his eyes and glanced at her calmly and asked, "Qing'er, are you from Mingyin Pavilion or Luan Yisi?"

Qing'er's face became paler, and she said hastily: "The servant is the owner of the pavilion."

"Then remember this, and don't tell anyone who shouldn't be told." Mingyin Pavilion Master said.

Qing'er nodded, "I don't dare, it's just the pavilion master... If you let the other side know..."

The Master of Pavilion Mingyin sneered and said: "A group of old antiques who should have been swept into the grave long ago, still desperately thought that the world could still be theirs. Why didn't they come out to fight in those years when the world was in chaos?"

"But, Mr. Xueya..."

Mingyin Pavilion Master said: "Xueya was taught badly by them, if you don't want him to die, then don't tell him anything, understand?"

"Yes, Pavilion Master." Miss Qing replied respectfully.

After leaving the Liushang Pavilion, Luo Junyao didn't speak all the way, his brows were furrowed, apparently in deep thought.

Xie Yan sat on the side and watched the fluctuating expression on her face, only thinking it was funny, and didn't remind her that she was just sitting by and watching.After a while, Luo Junyao raised his head and saw Xie Yan looking at him leisurely, and couldn't help but glared at him, "Are you not in a hurry at all?"

"What's the hurry?" Xie Yan asked.

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "What the Mingyin Pavilion Master said, do you think his words are credible?"

Xie Yan laughed and said, "You don't even know his name, can you believe it?"

Luo Jun shook his eyes and blinked, "Then you said you would let him take someone away?"

Xie Yan said: "The premise is that he can live to that time, and the person he wants to take away can also live to that time."

Luo Junyao was a little depressed, "There are too few materials, and I can't figure out what's going on at all." Xie Yan put his arms around her and comforted her: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it."

"But, aren't you worried?" Luo Jun shook his head: "If Mingyin Pavilion really announces that the treasure is in the city after three days, no matter whether it is true or not, it will inevitably cause riots. If something happens again at that time, no one is afraid I can’t control it either.” The army may be able to control ordinary people, but it cannot control those who are skilled in martial arts, especially in places like cities.Most importantly, who can guarantee that those soldiers and horses will be reliable?What if they got in on it too?
"Blood flows like a river." Xie Yan held Luo Jun and shook a hand, lowering his eyebrows thoughtfully.

Luo Junyao said: "Listen to the meaning of Pavilion Master Mingyin, Yisi Luan wants to take advantage of the chaos to do something big, what big thing can he do in Shangyong, isn't it just a plot to usurp the throne?" Frowning, he hesitated and said: "Is this a bit unreliable, if you take [-] steps back, they will succeed, how will they deal with the Wuwei Army Zhen Guojun and Ding Guo Army outside the city?"

Xie Yan didn't know what came to mind, and he was a little careless, "Maybe they don't need to solve it at all?"

"How to say?" Luo Junyao asked.

Xie Yan said: "If my father-in-law and I die, the Dingguo army and the Zhenguo army will definitely be in chaos. Yu Mingqiu has just taken over the Wuwei army, and it is still a question of whether he can command the Wuwei army at the critical moment."

Luo Jun frowned and said, "That's not enough, unless..."

The two looked at each other, "There is someone in the court who cooperates with them inside and out." And this person's status cannot be low.

Or it should be said that people with high status in the court participated in this matter, and we must ensure that when Xie Yan and Luo Yun are gone, they can quickly control the court and the opposition.

Before the carriage reached the Prince Regent's Mansion, there was a sound of hooves behind him.

Few people ride horses in the inner city, and even if they do, they are not allowed to ride fast.But the sound of the horse's hooves was obviously very hasty. Hearing the sound of the horse's hoofs approaching from far away, Luo Junyao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The sound of horseshoes stopped in front of the carriage, and a hurried voice came from outside, "Report to the lord, wangfei, something is wrong! Just now Mrs. Luo sent someone to the house to deliver a letter, and General Luo was suddenly poisoned and fell into a coma!"
