"General Lu! He will definitely take Batu to find the Right Prime Minister!

The Right Prime Minister is loyal to the old emperor. If the Right Prime Minister took Batu to find the young master of the Jiang clan, then this is just a wrong guess. If the young master of the Jiang clan happened to leave, then it means it is true! "

Chang Sun Jing is not stupid. He is a beggar but he has developed all the skills he has today. His wisdom is beyond ordinary people!

At this time, Lin Xiao had helped him sort out the old emperor's chess game, and he naturally understood how to verify whether it was true. He also understood why Lin Xiao asked him not to continue to take the lead and just follow Lu Shuai as a spectator.

Moreover, Chang Sun Jing also drew inferences from one example:
"It seems that the young master of the Jiang clan did not come to seek refuge with the prince, but had already sought refuge with the old emperor!"

At this time, he no longer had any respect for the old emperor. He was a man of the world, and the old emperor was obviously full of malice towards people of the world, so it was natural that he could not help but feel disgusted.

Lin Xiao sneered and nodded:
“That’s right, but it’s a pity that you thought you were hiding behind the scenes, but you forgot about people’s hearts!

The old emperor pretended to be unconscious, thinking that he could use this to see the true faces of many people, especially several princes. He might even be thinking of taking back power from the crown prince if he made a mistake!
But they forget that when the false is made to appear true, the true becomes false!

Since he is ‘in a coma’ and about to die, his son will try to make him really in a coma or even die in order to ascend the throne! "

Chang Sun Jing felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and whispered:
"Is this what they call the ruthlessness of the Heavenly Family?"

Then he looked up at Lin Xiao and said with a wry smile:

"Zimo, is this why you don't take the imperial examination to become an official despite being full of knowledge? It seems that I am the one who dragged you down this time!"

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said:
"No, actually, even if you didn't ask me to join, I would still want to get involved. Although I have no interest in the power of the court, I also want to make further progress in Confucianism and have students all over the world.

I want to build an institution where everyone can attend regardless of their wealth or status, and this requires some help from the emperor!"

Chang Sun Jing said worriedly:

“But if you don’t have the strength…”

Lin Xiao smiled confidently:
"You forgot that the Right Prime Minister's strength is not weaker than any great master! They are all practicing. The people of the martial arts world have their own training methods, and the scholars naturally have their own training methods!"

Chang Sun Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said:
"Although you are not well-known, I know that you are as knowledgeable as the great scholars. It seems that your strength is incomparable. No wonder you can set up such a formation in your courtyard!"

Lin Xiao showed a somewhat smug smile and said:

"That is, cultivation, after all, is still about the perception of the world, and the book is the perception of the predecessors on the world, on life, on the temple, and on the world!
Once you understand these insights, your strength will naturally improve!"

Chang Sun Jing suddenly seemed eager to try:
"Then let's have a sparring match and test your strength!"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and said:

"This is Marshal Lu's residence. If we fight, not only will we expose our true identities, but it will also disrupt the defense here. Let's talk about it next time!"

Zhang Sunjing looked disappointed, while Lin Xiao said with a serious look:

"But I suggest that you return to practice the basic swordsmanship again. A tall building is built from the ground up, and only with a solid foundation can you achieve greater success!"

Zhang Sunjing listened to this and said thoughtfully: "I have looked for entry-level sword manuals, but I found that none of them are as strong as my blood-killing sword method..."

Lin Xiao shook his head and said:
"look!"

As he spoke, his right palm turned into a knife and chopped towards Chang Sun Jing. Suddenly, Lin Xiao's figure seemed to be magnified countless times, and five huge white tiger shadows emerged. A terrifying and domineering pressure came towards him. The domineering momentum directly suppressed Chang Sun Jing on the spot and he could not move. He could only watch the tiger claws fall.

"Feel it?"

Lin Xiao's voice rang in Chang Sun Jing's ears.

“Wow~ What a terrifying sword force! It’s like the heaven and earth are pressing down on me!”

Chang Sun Jing had a look of having survived a disaster. Even though he believed that Lin Xiao would not hurt him, he seemed to be on the brink of death just now.

Lin Xiao smiled and said:

"I didn't use any powerful swordsmanship, but the most common swordsmanship that can be bought on the street for two cents, the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Sword."

"Any sword technique in the martial arts world contains the wisdom of its creator. If a practitioner can gain his own insights from it and innovate to find his own way, then it will be the sword technique that best suits him!
If you want to achieve this level, a solid foundation is a prerequisite. Otherwise, if you don’t even understand the basic changes of sword techniques, how can you create a sword technique that really suits you? If you rely solely on actual combat, there will be too many flaws and it will be easy to die in battle! "

Zhang Sunjing nodded as if he understood, then he reacted, stared at Lin Xiao for a long time and said:
"I didn't expect that your strength has reached such a level. You are no weaker than that 'Shocking God Sword' Xiao Meng, or even some masters of the Grandmaster level!"

Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said confidently:
"Of course. When I break through another realm, even a grandmaster will not be my opponent. This is why I have the confidence to establish a transcendent school!"

Zhang Sunjing suddenly realized:

“No wonder you want to get involved in this matter, have some connection with the new emperor, and build a school with his support. In this way, even if the new emperor is afraid, he won’t slap himself in the face!
If you suddenly appear and establish a school that is above the imperial power, you will be standing directly against the royal family!"

Then he suddenly sighed and said:
"Fortunately, you care about the world and chose to build a school to give ordinary people a chance. If you were possessed by a demon, I'm afraid you would become another demon king!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said:

"Then you have to keep an eye on me and prevent me from becoming possessed! How about you come to my school after this matter is over?"

Chang Sun Jing raised his head and said:

"Then I won't be your student!"

"Of course, you can also be a teacher in the school, but I don't know what you are going to teach your students?"

Lin Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, waiting to see Chang Sun Jing make a fool of himself.

“I…I teach…”

"You can't be teaching swordsmanship, our academy is a place for studying, and your swordsmanship is also..."

Zhang Sunjing immediately lowered his head, then raised it again and said righteously:

"Humph, the matter in the capital is not over yet. How can we have time to think about the future? Let's prepare to escort General Lu to meet the Right Prime Minister tomorrow!"

·······
"Brother Huaikong, what do you think?"

After returning to the room from the lobby, Meng Qi couldn't wait to ask Shang Yi.

As for Meng Qi's two teammates, just like in the original novel, one of them somehow gained the trust of the third prince, and the other chose to believe Meng Qi, or to believe that Shang Yi, who was number one on the list, followed Meng Qi to Marshal Lu's mansion.

Listening to Meng Qi's question, Shang Yi smiled and said:
"After I arrived in the capital, I used my clairvoyance to observe the situation in the imperial city. The dragon energy is strong. It is obvious that His Majesty is not unconscious. He probably wants to use this opportunity to see the character of the princes!" Meng Qi's eyes widened when he heard this and exclaimed:
"The emperor is not unconscious? Then why did he go to so much trouble to make such a plan? Now the Western Tartars are invading the East, and the masters of the Demon Sect are pouring into the capital because of the Demon Lord's treasure. If we let it go like this, I'm afraid it won't be..."

Suddenly, Meng Qi stopped talking, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at Shang Yi and said:
"The old emperor's target is the Grandmaster!?"

Ruan Yushu and Ge Huai'en also raised their heads in shock and looked at Shang Yi and Meng Qi.

Shang Yi sneered and nodded:
"Yes, we all know that the Grand Master can influence the situation in the capital, how could the old emperor not know this? This kind of thing is the most taboo. He wants to get rid of the Grand Master, the 'internal trouble', first, and then face the external enemy. It is obvious that he has the same idea as the remaining Western Tartars!
However, although my six supernatural powers of Buddhism are limited in this world, they can still play a role in the capital!

After arriving in the capital, I noticed many things were wrong. I also noticed that the dragon energy in the imperial city was different. It seemed that there was a disaster of killing and a father-son conflict. I was afraid that the old emperor was going from being "fake coma" to being really dead!"

"The old emperor is going to die? Who would kill him at this time? "

Meng Qi said in a serious tone.

Ruan Yushu plucked the strings of the zither with his right hand and said:

"Crown Prince! Among the princes now, the Crown Prince has the strongest power, and the Right Prime Minister supports the eldest son to succeed to the throne. If the old prince dies, the Right Prime Minister will definitely support the Crown Prince and give the Crown Prince time and opportunity to win over the court officials!"

Shang Yi nodded and said:
"Yes, the Demon Queen is behind the Third Prince, the Sword Emperor is behind the Fourth Prince, and the Seventh Prince is favored by the old Emperor and came in to win over the ministers, but the person behind him is actually the Evil King. Now that the Evil King is dead, the Seventh Prince is the first to be eliminated. It seems that we have to support the Fourth Prince this time!"

Meng Qi asked the last question:
"Then how is the Crown Prince going to attack the old emperor? He has the Right Prime Minister here, and the strength of the old emperor in such a martial arts world must be strong!"

Shang Yi sneered:
"This is the problem that the old emperor overlooked. He pretended to be unconscious, but it caused the eunuchs and maids in the palace to become restless. They began to flock to the prince to find a way out and a future for themselves!

Whether a person is really in a coma can be detected from his daily diet. The Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince must have known that the old emperor was faking his coma.

The old emperor let the right prime minister, whom he trusted the most, take control of the court! If the peace talks succeeded, the bad reputation would be thrown to the left prime minister, as his reputation as a treacherous prime minister had already spread throughout the world; if the peace talks failed, General Lu would have entered the capital and could lead his troops to fight the enemy at any time, and then he could also put all the blame on the left prime minister.

Obviously, the left prime minister has become the abandoned son of the old emperor. As long as the prince tells the left prime minister about this, he will immediately surrender to the prince and even help the prince to make plans to make the old emperor really die of illness! "

None of them were stupid. With Shang Yi's plot plug-in, they quickly sorted out the situation in the capital and understood the real situation now.

Ge Huai'en tentatively said:
"Then we need to support the Fourth Prince? He also wants to fight, maybe..."

Meng Qi also nodded and said:

"That's right. Since the old emperor's goal is the Grandmaster, Batu and others are also pawns. I'm afraid he also wants to negotiate. Why not take this opportunity to help the Fourth Prince ascend to the throne!"

He is famous in the capital for his "Shocking God Sword" and has also received guidance from the Sword Emperor. He has a better relationship with the Fourth Prince!
······
The next day, Meng Qi and Shang Yi, armed with swords and knives, escorted Lu Guan, Batu and others to the outside of the palace, where they saw several masters from the palace waiting.

"General Lu, the palace is guarded by the Right Prime Minister, so there should be no danger." Meng Qi said sternly.

Lu Guan nodded gently: "The Right Prime Minister will definitely accompany us to find the young master of the Jiang clan, so you don't have to wait here, just do whatever you want."

Meng Qi pretended to be thoughtful and said, "General Lu, the matter of the deception in the peace talks is of great importance. I want to inform the four princes one by one so that they can make plans early."

Lu Guan was stunned for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "Go ahead."

He does not have the martial arts, connections and status of the Right Prime Minister Wang Derang. His attempt to maintain absolute neutrality would only arouse the common disgust of the four princes - I am trying to win over a poor general with no soldiers and no money like you, and you don't appreciate it?
Therefore, a critical attitude would help dispel this emotion. As long as there is hope of winning them over, most of the princes would not hate and turn against them. And most importantly, it was unknown which prince wanted to negotiate with the Western Tartars in private to increase his chances of ascending the throne. It was also unknown whether he knew that the negotiations were a fraud. All of this required some testing, and the current excuse was just right.

Meng Qi was preparing for a final test. Although he had everything planned out, he still had to be fully prepared. After all, he had already seen that Shang Yi did not intend to do too much in this mission, and there was no location expert who could not be defeated in this collaborative mission!

However, when he turned around and saw Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu chatting happily, Meng Qi always felt as if he had not returned to secular life and grown his hair, and was standing there like a big light bulb.

Finally, he walked towards Wanghoufang along the left side of the palace with an expressionless face, his pace was neither fast nor slow, just like his daily walk after morning exercise.

He didn't have a specific plan of who to meet first and who to meet later. His plan was to meet whoever's house he came across first along the way.

Shang Yi said to Ruan Yushu:

"Marshal Lu has already entered the palace, and Meng Qi has gone to test the four princes. We are now free. Why don't we go to the restaurant to find some food and wait for them to finish!"

Ruan Yushu's eyes flashed with anticipation when he heard this, and then he pretended to be reserved and said:

"Then listen to Senior Brother Huaikong! Let's go try the delicacies of the capital first!"

As they spoke, the two of them headed towards the most prosperous Longshou Street, leaving Ge Huai'en alone outside the palace.

Ge Huai'en was also tactful and did not forcefully follow him. Instead, he obediently found a stall and waited for Lu Guan to leave the palace.

On Longshou Street, Shang Yi, who was walking side by side with Ruan Yushu, had an illusory black lotus flashing between his eyebrows, which startled him slightly as he was walking, but soon he naturally continued to communicate with Ruan Yushu about the way of the zither.

However, Shang Yi murmured in his heart:
"Tsk, it's still affected. Did the Emperor of Fengdu take action?"

Obviously, this was the power of the "Black Lotus of the Soul", a magical weapon from the other side that was connected to Shang Yi's mind, reminding him that there was an existence from the other side that "arranged" a marriage for him.

He wanted to bring Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu together, and even used this to plot against Shang Yi.

Looking at the history of cultivation in the outside world of the heavens, there are countless examples of using beautiful women to plot against others. Looking closely, wasn't it also because of Xuannv, the Overlord of the Middle Ages, that he fell into Ananda's trap?

Shang Yi didn't expect that he would encounter such a plot in this world.

Looking up at the sky, Shang Yi knew clearly in his heart that with the ancient Buddha Bodhi behind him, it would be difficult for him to escape from such a plot!
It was the arrangement of an ancient being. No matter how you struggled, things would proceed according to his will. Even if you could escape, Ruan Yushu would find it difficult to break free!

Moreover, what really made Shang Yi speechless was his biggest trump card. The projection of the money of the universe did not show any unusual movement. If it were not for the reminder from his soul Black Lotus, he would not have realized that he had been arranged by someone.

At this moment, Shang Yi was thinking of hiding away like the little wizard from Xuandu when encountering trouble.

After finally obtaining the divine weapon from the other shore to protect himself, he was ready to show off in this world of reincarnation. However, he did not expect to be slapped in the face by the big shot from the other shore as soon as he went out.

Although Shang Yi himself was not in any danger, he found it difficult to resist the arrangements.

"Brother Huaikong!? What happened?"

Ruan Yushu was very sharp-minded and could tell at a glance that Shang Yi was a little distracted, so he couldn't help but ask.

Shang Yi was a little nervous when he heard this:
"Nothing... nothing! I just opened my clairaudience, and the sounds in the capital are chaotic. I need to devote some of my mind to distinguish and sort out these sounds!

Ah, Miss Ruan, we are almost there!"

Seeing Shang Yi stuttering, Ruan Yushu didn't ask any more questions, but her lips curled up slightly! She was quick-witted, so she couldn't tell that Shang Yi was just distracted. However, Shang Yi looked quite interesting! (End of this chapter)
