My wife has a secret

Chapter 261 Who is more important?

"Lu Wanhe"'s eyes were like autumn water, with a faint smile, and her cherry lips opened slightly: "Look at your husband's dilemma, it seems that he hasn't thought through the key points here... Why don't we go upstairs and sit for a while, and let this concubine tell you everything."

Yang Xianning, who had been standing silently behind Xu Qing, said coldly, "Why bother going upstairs? Let's go to the prison and talk it out."

"Lu Wanhe" covered her mouth and chuckled again, putting on a delicate and charming look.

She raised her orchid finger and sneered in a tender voice: "Oh my, isn't this the bravest general in the army, the General Yang that everyone talks about? A few days ago, you were talking to her like sisters, why are you so distant today?"

"Lu Wanhe's" words were full of sarcasm.

This affectation obviously made the normally peaceful Yang Xianning's expression and attitude deviate. She couldn't help but frown and question, "You White Lotus Sect are doing all kinds of evil in Qi State. Do you really think you are invincible and no one dares to capture you?"

The surging true energy surrounded Yang Xianning's body, but just as she was about to take the first step, she suddenly noticed a flash of cold light in the room, as if someone had taken the lead.

"boom!"

In a time that Xu Qing could hardly distinguish with his naked eyes, Yang Xianning raised her sleeves, centered her true energy on her hands, and drew a bright upward line.

This unattractive fluorescent light disrupted the three silver needles, and they tinkled and scattered on the floor.

At the same time, a slightly slender person in black robe also emerged from the dark shadows. Xu Qing could infer the identity of this White Lotus Star Lord from the color of the mask on the other person's head.

"Yuheng Star Lord."

Compared with the other star gods, Yuheng Star God is an old acquaintance of Xu Qing. After all, he had appeared when she was in Suzhou, and since then he has been inseparable from Princess Danyang.

Data from all sides indicate that this Star Lord is a close subordinate of Princess Danyang and is directly under the command of the Saint.

Yuheng Star Lord did not move his gaze to Xu Qing, but instead assumed a fighting stance, placing two daggers in front of his chest, one in front and one behind, and staring at Yang Xianning.

Seeing this, Yang Xianning also became alert and focused.

Just now when Yuheng Star Lord was hiding in the dark, Yang Xianning was completely unaware of his existence and always thought that "Lu Wanhe" was alone.

Now it seems that the power of Jade Heng Star Lord is so high that it overshadows his own perception ability.

What methods did the White Lotus Sect use to gather so many masters to work for them?
"Lu Wanhe" blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled, "Yuheng, I'll leave General Yang to you...Brother Qing, we shouldn't get involved in a fight between women, so as not to hurt innocent people."

Xu Qing sensed a bad aura, "What are you thinking of?"

"What? Are you afraid that someone might kill you?"

"Lu Wanhe" chuckled and said, "You should also know that I, Li Jin'er, have never practiced internal energy and don't know any martial arts... Besides, a man and a woman alone in a room, most people would be worried about the weak and delicate young lady, right?"

Princess Danyang has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, and you'll fall into her trap if you're not careful.

Of course Xu Qing would not be afraid of a thin girl, he was only afraid that the other party had a hidden killer move.

Seeing that Xu Qing remained silent and didn't seem to be fooled, "Lu Wanhe" couldn't help but chuckle twice and threw out the bait that he had prepared long ago.

"Brother Qing, do you still remember the delicate maidservant who shared your bed?"

"Are you talking about Xiaohuan?"

Xu Qing's face changed, and he suddenly remembered that Yang Liu had mentioned to him that Xiaohuan suddenly returned to Xu's family in Suzhou one day after he entered the palace.

Because this matter came from the mouth of the third branch, Mrs. Lu, many people believed that Xiaohuan really returned to the Xu Mansion... Now it seems that these were all false news released by the Princess Danyang.

"Where did you hide the little ring?"

Xiaohuan and Lu Wanhe were both the sore spots in Xu Qing's heart. Upon learning that Princess Danyang was constantly touching his bottom line, he became furious and had the intention to kill them.

"Where you're hiding... depends on how your brother behaves. If you don't come up and talk to him, you might be sent to some place and experience things you've never experienced before."

"Lu Wanhe" spoke in a soft and artificial voice, mixed with a few breaths, and there was a lot of teasing in her words and expression.

Obviously, she was leading Xu Qing to think in a bad direction.

"I'll go up with you, but you have to know that if anything happens to Xiaohuan, your fate will be ten thousand times worse than hers."

"I know, Brother Qing."

"Lu Wanhe" seemed to have completely ignored Xu Qing's warning, and after he agreed to follow her, she jumped upstairs.

Xu Qing made the decision without hesitation. He exchanged a glance with Yang Xianning beside him, then walked straight past Yuheng Xingjun who was concentrating on preparing for battle and walked up the stairs behind her.

Yang Xianning, who was in tune with Xu Qing's thoughts, turned her attention back to the field and looked at Yuheng Star Lord in front of her.

Yuheng Xingjun felt like a prey being targeted by a tiger or leopard, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

According to the information obtained from the White Lotus Sect, although Yang Xianning is the head of the Yang Family and has inherited the true teachings of the Overlord Spear, it is forbidden to bring soldiers into the streets in the capital. Yang Xianning, who has lost her weapon, has reduced her strength by at least 50%.

Even so, the sense of oppression felt by Yuheng Star Lord was still deep and terrifying.

"Snapped!"

Yang Xianning took a step forward, and hundreds of medicine cabinet drawers in the entire room opened at the same time, brought out by her deep internal strength, and burst into an explosive sound.

……

"Om..."

Just as Xu Qing followed "Lu Wanhe" up the stairs, he heard unusual noises coming from underground, the sound was extremely terrifying.

"Don't worry about them. The floors of the houses here are made of special materials that can withstand the manipulation of these people."

Xu Qing looked down at the wooden board under his feet. The structure and appearance of the board were no different from ordinary wood. But for some reason, as the two walked upstairs, the sound of the fight actually became weaker and weaker.

He knew Yang Xianning's true strength. If this female general was allowed to fight with all her might, no place would be able to withstand it.

It seems that there is something special about this place.

"Lu Wanhe" in front of him said softly without turning his head: "After all, it is an abandoned stronghold of the church, so it is still of a certain standard."

Xu Qing asked hesitantly, "You said this was once the base of the White Lotus Sect?"

"This is one of the four seasons envoys, the place where Chunsheng preaches... Countless White Lotus believers have spent all their wealth just to get the qualification to sit in the audience."

When the White Lotus Sect was mentioned, Lu Wanhe's voice became calm. After the two of them climbed up the tall building through a long spiral staircase, the view and space in front of them suddenly became clear.

What Xu Qing didn't expect was that this unremarkable pharmacy actually had such a large space hidden inside.

The seat in the middle alone is surprisingly large, big enough for five people to hug together.

There were countless cushions placed on all sides, with dim candles burning on the lampstands, making it look like a Buddhist temple where sutras were preached and offerings were made.

The only difference is that there are no Buddha statues here, only the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect.

"What should I call you?"

After arriving at the destination, "Lu Wanhe" grinned and said, "It's up to my husband's preference. Whether it's Princess Danyang or Li Jin'er... it's just a nickname and an identity."

She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned around in front of the stage. With misty eyes, she said faintly, "Anyway, I have already exchanged identities with the one in the princess's mansion, so you can call me Lu Wanhe, my husband."

"Stop being disgusting in front of me. Do you deserve it?"

"Lu Wanhe" was not angry because of Xu Qing's words. Instead, she raised her sleeves, looked herself up and down, and revealed a playful expression.

"What's the problem with whether they are suitable or not? Aren't my face and makeup exactly the same as hers? Jin'er can also achieve the kind of delicate and sickly feeling that my husband likes... What's wrong with letting Jin'er live in place of that tuberculosis ghost?"

"I was originally wondering why Ji Xia told me that you would pour ice-cold well water on your head every two days to induce yourself to catch a cold and get sick... Now it seems that all the questions have answers."

Xu Qing asked, "You used Feng Han to disguise your identity and deliberately created a sickly appearance, right?"

"Yes, Jin'er has prepared a big surprise. When my husband thinks that the third wife is about to pass away, this fictitious illness will be cured. How about that... Isn't it touching and can be passed down as a good story?"

There was a hint of cunning in "Lu Wanhe's" eyes, as well as a hint of imperceptible pride.

But Xu Qing had had enough of this woman's tricks. His patience worn out, he asked, "Where is Xiaohuan? Is the Princess Danyang in the Princess's Mansion the real Lu Wanhe?"

"Don't be impatient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry... Let's talk about it one by one. I am the real Lu Wanhe in the princess's mansion."

Xu Qing stared at her coldly and asked, "I remember that the human skin disguise of the Winter Tibetan Envoy was very different from your disguise, and... when I questioned her at the Princess's Mansion that day, her answer was flawless."

"Of course there won't be any loopholes. Those words were taught to her word by word by Jin'er, and no one else can tell. And Brother Qing is really stupid. Dong Zang learned the face-changing technique from someone in the sect. Didn't you guess... How can a disciple in this world be more capable than the master?"

"Lu Wanhe"'s pretty face was beaming with joy and satisfaction.

Although her expression and posture were exactly the same as Lu Wanhe's, Xu Qing knew that Lu Wanhe would never have such an annoying expression.

"Now that things have come to this, it doesn't hurt to tell Brother Qing... The ability to change one's appearance is actually the ability of Yuheng Star Lord. Do you remember that I asked Lu Wanhe to tell you that the seven Star Lords of the White Lotus Sect each have magical powers, which are of infinite use."

“It is indeed an astonishing ability.”

For the first time, Xu Qing felt a sense of agreement with Princess Danyang's words.

From the rebirth of Kaiyang Star Lord to Tianxuan Star Lord's beast taming, and now to the transformation of Yuheng Star Lord, each of them has first-class abilities and unlimited potential.

But he still couldn't understand how a Star Lord with so many supernatural powers could be willing to be enslaved by the White Lotus Sect. How great were the powers and secrets hidden by the White Lotus Sect?

"As long as the Jade Star Lord of this generation dies, according to the rules of the stars, there will not be another person who can change his appearance within a hundred years. So if my husband is afraid, he can just kill the Jade Star Lord downstairs to eliminate the worries."

It has to be said that Princess Danyang seemed to know Xu Qing's inner thoughts very well.

Before he could speak or ask any questions, he could tell what the other person was thinking from his pensive expression and slowly told him what he was worried about.

The desire to kill naturally emerged in Xu Qing's heart.

With the existence of Yuheng Star Lord, everyone in the White Lotus Sect can disguise themselves as the people around them, which is much more threatening than other star gods.

This woman must not be kept.

"Why are you...trying to provoke me to attack you?"

Xu Qing suddenly came to his senses, looked at "Lu Wanhe" not far in front of him and asked, "Why did you go to so much trouble to bring me here?"

Previously, Xu Qing believed that what Ji Xia saw was just a coincidence.

Now, he doesn't think so.

He was able to force Lu Wanhe to exchange identities with him and was secretly protected by a master of the Star Lord. How could he have his identity exposed and see the crucial clues by a short-sighted servant?
Why would he go to the pharmacy alone the next day and specially dismiss the servants hired to the pharmacy to prepare for battle with him?

The reason is that Princess Danyang is putting on a show for herself.

She must have known Ji Xia's mentality, so she showed those unreasonable things to her and made her tell on her.

“I noticed it…”

"Lu Wanhe" sighed, as if he had lost a lot of fun.

"Are you still beating around the bush?"

Noticing that the topic was gradually getting on track, Xu Qing put his hands behind his back, secretly inserted his right hand into the cuff of his left hand, and grasped the pistol tied to his forearm.

When meeting with Princess Danyang, you must be prepared for everything, otherwise... you won’t even know how you died.

"In fact, if Brother Qing was a little dumber, I wouldn't have to prepare so many tricks... Jin'er originally wanted to live her life under the name of the third branch of the Lu family, but things don't wait for anyone, they are coming."

Xu Qing couldn't help but frown when he heard the euphemism of the other party and asked, "Who?"

"Lu Wanhe" said seriously, "Of course it is Tianshu Xingjun and the Autumn Harvest Envoy. Jin'er has learned from the informant a few days ago that they entered the capital and lurked in a tribute delegation."

"Are you kidding me?"

Xu Qing was full of disbelief and asked without comment, "As a saint of the White Lotus Sect, you actually informed me of the news of the Autumn Harvest Envoy. Aren't you afraid that your sect will be purged?"

"Lu Wanhe" curved her beautiful eyes and smiled sweetly, "Brother Qing, who do you think is more important to Jin'er, you or the Holy Church?"

"Of course it's the White Lotus."

"Lu Wanhe" looked at Xu Qing, her eyes full of charm, like the look a girl gives her lover.

She shook her head slightly and said, "The Holy Church has always used the most severe criticism and punishment to govern its believers... Jin'er only has awe in her heart and no love for the Holy Church."
