Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day
Chapter 363: Guarding the Country
Zhu Linlang felt increasingly depressed as she listened to Fang Yue's analysis.
She knew that this alliance could have a profound impact not only on the two of them, but also on the entire situation in Wei.
"So what should we do now?" she asked, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
Fang Yue took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "We need to stay calm now and wait for the opportunity."
He said slowly, "Once the Great Wei Emperor dies, all parties will inevitably take action, and the situation will become even more chaotic.
We must have enough patience and calm judgment to find our footing in this storm."
Zhu Linlang was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally nodded and said softly: "I understand, we must remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations."
Fang Yue smiled slightly and agreed, "That's right. Moreover, we must also pay close attention to the dynamics within the alliance and the movements of other forces.
Only in this way can we better respond to possible changes.”
"I will arrange people to collect intelligence from all aspects." Zhu Linlang said, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
In the next few days, Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue settled down according to the previous plan.
They divided the work and cooperated with each other. Zhu Linlang was responsible for arranging personnel to go deep into various parties to collect intelligence, while Fang Yue was responsible for analyzing the intelligence and predicting the possible development of the situation in the future.
At the same time, deep in the bustling Wei Imperial Palace, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
The Emperor of Wei lay on the dragon couch, his face as pale as gold paper, and it seemed that the fire of life could be extinguished at any time.
The court officials were worried but powerless to do anything and could only watch the emperor grow weaker day by day.
The Emperor of Wei lay in the dim bedroom with his eyes slightly closed, but his mind was racing.
He was unwilling to be defeated by the disease, as he still had many unfinished ambitions and dreams.
At this time, a mysterious man in black knelt in front of his couch and reported in a low voice the arrangement of the spirit refining formation.
"Your Majesty, the Spirit Refining Formation has been set up. We are just waiting for the masters from all sides to come and visit us. Then we can activate the formation and capture them all in one fell swoop."
The man in black spoke in a low, chilling voice.
The Emperor of Wei opened his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of cruelty.
"Well, you did a great job. This time, I will let those self-righteous guys know who is the real master."
The man in black continued to report in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I need to report to you.
The princess seems to be making some moves in secret. She has privately contacted some important officials in the court and is secretly mobilizing people. It seems that she has some plans. "
The Emperor of Wei frowned slightly. The eldest princess has always been a thorn in his heart.
He was well aware of his sister's ambition and intelligence and had to be on guard against her.
"Do you know what her specific plans are?"
The man in black shook his head and said, "I have not yet found out the princess's specific plan, but according to the signs our people have observed, she may be preparing to deal with the situation after your death.
In addition, there are rumors that she has had contact with Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue, but the details have not yet been verified. "
The Great Wei Emperor sneered, "Humph, she is smart and knows how to plan ahead. But does she think she can compete with me like this? How naive."
He paused and continued, "Strengthen surveillance of the princess, and report to me immediately if there is any movement.
At the same time, we must also pay close attention to the movements of Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue. I don't want any accidents to happen at this time."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The man in black stepped back and disappeared into the dim bedroom.
The Emperor of Wei closed his eyes again, but was secretly thinking in his heart.
He knew that the battle had just begun and he had to win.
Neither the eldest princess nor any other forces can become a stumbling block in his pursuit of hegemony.
He took a deep breath, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Let me see how big a wave you can make."
~~~~~~~
In another part of the palace, the eldest princess was standing in front of the window, looking into the distance, as if thinking about something. Her personal maid stood aside cautiously, not daring to disturb her.
"Princess, we have followed your instructions and contacted some court officials in private." A guard knelt in front of the princess and reported in a low voice.
The princess nodded slightly, her voice calm but revealing unquestionable majesty: "Very good, continue to observe the movements of those court officials, and report any abnormalities to me in a timely manner."
The guard responded and quickly retreated.
At this time, the personal maid whispered: "Princess, do you really want to compete with the emperor? This... This is too dangerous."
The princess turned around, a firm look flashing in her eyes: "Danger? From the moment I was born, I have been in danger.
Rather than passively waiting for fate to take its course, it is better to take the initiative and control your own destiny.”
The maid lowered her head and dared not say anything more.
The princess murmured softly: "Besides, I am not fighting alone."
Then, her divine light became firm, and she continued to ask, "Have you found any traces of Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang?"
"Princess, we have found the whereabouts of Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang." The guard replied, "They are currently in a hidden house in the city. They seem to be observing the situation in secret and actively collecting intelligence from all sides."
After hearing this, the eldest princess' eyes flashed with satisfaction.
These two people are really brave. After becoming her enemy, they even dared to return to Shenjing City. How courageous!
"Very good, continue to monitor them, but don't alert them." The princess ordered.
"Yes, Princess." The guard responded and then withdrew to continue his surveillance mission.
The eldest princess raised her lips slightly, revealing a hint of sneer.
She knew that Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were both extremely smart people, but they were still too young to compete with her in Shenjing City.
However, she was not in a hurry to act. Now she had a more important thing to do, which was to obtain the royal family's national treasure.
Once this matter is done, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang will be able to clean it up easily.
"Continue to observe their movements and report any abnormalities to me in time." The princess ordered again.
"Yes, Princess." The personal maid responded and then retreated.
The eldest princess turned back to the desk, spread out a piece of white paper, and began to plan her next move.
In the dim study, the candlelight flickered, the eldest princess's pen moved rapidly on the paper, and her plan gradually took shape.
She knew very well that if she wanted to successfully seize the national treasure, she had to plan carefully and take every step carefully. ~~~~~~
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Fang Yue was practicing martial arts in the backyard with full concentration, his body and mind completely immersed in the world of martial arts.
Suddenly, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder, interrupting his practice.
Fang Yue was slightly stunned, then recognized that this was the carrier pigeon they used to deliver messages.
He quickly untied the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet and took out the note inside.
When he unfolded it, he saw the Shadow Pavilion's contact code and an urgent meeting place and time written on it.
Fang Yue frowned. The people from Shadow Pavilion contacted him on their own initiative. It seemed that these people had also come to Shenjing City.
Fang Yue looked at the information on the note, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
~~~~~
In a remote alley in Shenjing City, Fang Yue followed the instructions on the note and found a shabby teahouse.
He walked into the teahouse, glanced around, and soon spotted a mysterious figure in a black cloak waving at him.
Fang Yue walked over and sat opposite the mysterious man.
The mysterious man lifted a corner of his cloak, revealing a weathered face. It was Li Shengdong, the leader of the Shadow Pavilion.
"Why did you come to Shenjing City? It seems that you are much earlier than the agreed time?" Fang Yue asked straight to the point.
Li Shengdong said in a deep voice: "Brother Fang, the situation is urgent, I have to come to you in advance. We got news that the royal family wants to open the secret vault in advance."
"The royal family is going to open the secret vault in advance?" Fang Yue frowned.
"All forces are gathering in Shenjing. The Wei royal family is worried that they will not be able to subdue the world, so they can only open the secret library in advance and take out the national artifact!" Li Shengdong frowned.
"All forces gathered in Shenjing. The Wei royal family was worried that they could not subdue the world, so they could only open the secret vault in advance and take out the national treasure to deter all parties."
Li Shengdong's voice was low and serious, "However, not everyone can obtain the national treasure. It requires special luck and opportunity.
And you, Brother Fang, who carries the Dragon Soul of Luck, may be the key to our seizure of the national treasure."
After hearing this, Fang Yue was silent for a long time. He did not expect that the dragon soul of luck in his body was actually related to the national artifact.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Master Li, what do you want me to do?"
Li Shengdong's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he slowly said: "I hope that on the day when the royal family opens the secret vault, you can go with us.
Your Dragon Soul of Luck may be able to help us seize the national treasure."
Fang Yue frowned, he knew that this matter was of great importance and if he failed, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, there is not a single bit of the power of the dragon soul in him now.
After all, the dragon soul of luck had been completely refined and became his foundation.
But even if he said this, no one would believe it, and it might even expose his secret.
Therefore, he couldn't tell Li Shengdong that he no longer had the power of the Dragon Soul.
Fang Yue's mind was racing, but his expression remained calm. He said in a deep voice:
"Master Li, the national treasure is the foundation of the Wei royal family. It must be heavily guarded. It is not easy to seize it. I am afraid that we may not be able to succeed!"
Li Shengdong narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, as if he was evaluating Fang Yue's words. He said slowly:
"Brother Fang, I understand your concerns.
But please rest assured, we at Shadow Pavilion have been preparing for this for many years and have a thorough plan.
Your dragon soul of destiny may be the key for us to seize the artifact.
You don't need to take action directly, you just need to trigger the power of the Dragon Soul of Luck at the critical moment to create opportunities for us."
Fang Yue weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He knew that he no longer had the power of the Dragon Soul of Luck, but if he refused directly, he would most likely become enemies with the Shadow Pavilion. Also, this might be an opportunity to learn about the royal secret vault and the national treasures.
At the same time, he also wanted to find out the detailed plans of the Shadow Pavilion so as to better deal with future situations.
So he took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm willing to go with you. But I have a few conditions."
Li Shengdong's eyes flashed with joy. He didn't expect Fang Yue to agree so quickly. He quickly said, "Please tell me. As long as we can do it, we will do our best to satisfy you."
Fang Yue said in a deep voice: "First, I need to know your detailed plan, including the route of action, personnel division of labor and all other details. I don't want any accidents to happen during the operation."
"Of course, we will share our plan with you in detail." Li Shengdong nodded in agreement.
"Secondly, I can't guarantee that I can successfully trigger the power of the Dragon Soul of Luck. After all, this power is not something I can fully control." Fang Yue's tone revealed a hint of helplessness and frankness.
Hearing this, Li Shengdong smiled slightly and expressed his understanding: "Brother Fang, your concern is normal.
The power of the Luck Dragon Soul is indeed mysterious and unpredictable, and we cannot force it. As long as you do your best, no matter what the result is, we in the Shadow Pavilion will remember your help. "
Fang Yue nodded, feeling slightly comforted.
He continued, "Third, if the operation fails or any accidents occur, I hope that the Shadow Pavilion can protect the safety of me and my partners."
Li Shengdong solemnly promised: "Brother Fang, don't worry. We in Shadow Pavilion have always valued credibility and loyalty.
Whether the operation succeeds or fails, we will do everything in our power to keep you and your companions safe."
Hearing this, Fang Yue's worries were slightly alleviated.
He took a deep breath and decided to cooperate with the Shadow Pavilion: "Okay, in that case, I am willing to act with you. When do we set off?"
A hint of joy flashed in Li Shengdong's eyes. He didn't expect Fang Yue to agree so readily.
He quickly replied, "We plan to take action in three days. In the next two days, I will introduce our plan and division of labor to you in detail. Do you have any questions or anything you need to prepare?"
Fang Yue thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I will arrange the things on hand as soon as possible and prepare to leave."
"Okay, then we'll see you in three days." Li Shengdong stood up and shook hands with Fang Yue to say goodbye.
After Fang Yue left, Li Shengdong's friendly expression disappeared: "Humph, this kid really thinks he's a piece of cake. When I get the thing, I'll kill you first!"
Li Shengdong's words revealed coldness and cruelty, and it was obvious that his use of Fang Yue was only temporary.
Once he gets the national treasure, Fang Yue’s life and death will be insignificant in his eyes.
In the secret room of the Shadow Pavilion, Li Shengdong summoned several of his capable men and began to lay out the action plan in detail.
He told Zhu Linlang exactly what Shadow Pavilion had planned and what he had said. After hearing this, Zhu Linlang frowned and said worriedly:
"Brother Yue, this matter sounds very dangerous. The people of Shadow Pavilion are always cunning. We can't trust them easily."
Fang Yue nodded: "I know, but this is also an opportunity for us to learn about the royal secret treasury and the national treasure. (End of this chapter)
