Chapter 1087: Being Controlled by Others (VII)

"Ha ha……"

Great minds think alike. Yan Wuji and Yun Zhuiyue looked at each other and laughed, which gradually eased the dull and depressing atmosphere.

"Since Liu Xunyi's position in the 'new faction' is unparalleled, even if you kill him without anyone noticing, I'm afraid you won't be able to replace him." The untimely voice sounded again, but Long Yu leaned his body, crossed his legs, tilted his head, closed his eyes, and looked drowsy and lazy, muttering carelessly, "In your opinion, once Liu Xunyi dies, your 'alliance' will immediately fall apart. At that time, all the sects will declare themselves kings. Why should you take over his place and lead the Central Plains martial arts world? Regardless of what will happen to the famous and upright sects such as Shaolin and Kunlun, just talk about people like Xie Xuan and Qin Ku, will they be convinced? Even your adoptive father Teng Sanshi... I'm afraid he may not be willing."

"Well said!" Huo Biao nodded excitedly. "Since Saint Yun said that Liu Xunyi has many factions around him, what basis do you have to assert that you can replace him? Maybe after Liu Xunyi dies, the person who replaced him is Xie Xuan or Qin Ku... It's unknown."

"As long as I can get rid of Liu Xunyi without anyone suspecting me, I will be able to replace him." Yun Zhuiyue said confidently, "If nothing else, it's because of my 'special' relationship with the Teng clan leader and the Xiao Valley Master. Longxiang Mountain, Jueqing Valley, and the Xiangxi Teng clan are of the same blood and will definitely be the most powerful force in the Central Plains martial arts world. By then, Liu Xunyi will die and Jin Fuyu will become a dead bone in a grave. Even if the Xianwang Mansion, the Sanyi Gang, the Hexi Qin Clan, and the Xilu Wuzong all scatter and establish themselves as kings, they can't even think of fighting against us who have joined forces. As for my adoptive father... he is old and has long lost the desire to fight for fame and fortune. What's more, with Liu Xunyi's death, I believe that my adoptive father and Xiao Zhirou will not have the leisure to fight for the 'leader of the martial arts world'."

"If they don't fight for it, why would you fight for it? God knows whether Teng Sanshi and Xiao Zhirou will agree or not?" Long Yu sighed deliberately, "Even if they agree, they may not be willing to share the same hatred with you."

"Valley Master Xiao lost his beloved son, so he might have hesitated at that time. But Chief Teng will definitely support our Holy Master to take the throne." Tang Xuan responded to Long Yu's difficulties for Yun Zhuiyue. "The reason is very simple, because Chief Teng has no sons, only one daughter. After Liu Xunyi's death, Valley Master Xiao only has Ping'er. Ping'er is young and ignorant, and she is a woman, so she is naturally unable to take on the responsibility. In this way, the closest person to Chief Teng in the world is only his adopted son, who is also our Holy Master. When Liu Xunyi dies, Chief Teng will have to entrust his hard work to our Holy Master in order to protect the foundation of the Teng clan and avoid revenge from his enemies in the future. Fu one person. At that time, for the sake of the overall situation, he would definitely do his best to bring our Saint Master and Xiao Guzhu together. In addition, our Saint Master and Ping'er have a "deep father-daughter relationship"... In order to prevent the power of the Central Plains Wulin from falling into the hands of others, the Teng clan leader would definitely support "his own people" to take the position. After all, keeping the position of "Wulin Alliance Leader" is equivalent to keeping the future of Xiangxi Teng Clan, Jueqing Valley and Longxiang Mountain. I believe that this principle, which has been in the martial arts world for decades, must have been well understood by the Teng clan leader. Therefore, the Xiangxi Teng Clan and Longxiang Mountain help each other and recommend our Saint Master to succeed the Wulin Alliance Leader. This is the only choice that the Teng clan leader must make. "

"That's right!" Shao Yuanqing took the opportunity to speak up, "Valley Master Xiao has always been very filial to Patriarch Teng, and he also owes something to our Saint Master. With Ping'er lobbying... she will definitely be able to see the situation clearly and give full support to our Saint Master. As long as Patriarch Teng and Valley Master Xiao stand firm, the others... are nothing to worry about."

"Once I take the position of 'Leader of the Martial World', I will immediately call on all heroes in the world to surrender to the Khan. If there are people who are stubborn and intend to go against the will of Heaven, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and will not let the Khan worry..."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Before Yun Zhuiyue finished speaking, Long Yu, who seemed to have just woken up from a dream, could not help but applaud and praise: "Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! This move of 'killing three birds with one stone' by Yun Shengzhu is really brilliant. Not only did he get rid of the thorn in his side, but he also seized the power of life and death in the Central Plains martial arts world, and he also got the beauty. I admire you! I really admire you!"

"It is said that Jin Fuyu has his own army. It may not be easy to deal with him with the power of the martial arts world alone." Yun Zhuiyue ignored Long Yu's hypocritical attitude and said to Yan Wuji, "If the young king of Qin is unwilling to send troops to help, I hope that Master Yan Ling and General Sui can help... Eh?" Before he finished speaking, Yun Zhuiyue subconsciously looked around and hesitated, "Why don't I see General Sui Zuo tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Wuji's expression changed slightly, and he smiled absentmindedly and perfunctorily: "Military affairs are busy, and General Sui has led his troops back to the Jingbei camp."

"So soon?" Yun Zhuiyue was surprised. "It's only been a few hours since the 'Eradication of Traitors Conference' ended. Why is General Sui leaving in such a hurry?"

"The army cannot be without a commander for a day. General Sui has been away for many days. If we delay any longer, there might be trouble." Yan Wuji seemed unwilling to dwell on the topic of Sui Zuo, so he took the initiative to tease Yun Zhuiyue, "Besides, the performance of the Holy Lord Yun at the 'Anti-Traitor Conference'... was not satisfactory. General Sui led 5,000 soldiers to make a hard trip in vain, so he must be angry. He insisted on returning home, and Yan could do nothing about it."

"This……"

Yun Zhuiyue seemed to have not expected Yan Wuji's explanation to be so straightforward. She was stunned for a moment and said nothing more.

"I have kept the plan of Lord Yun in mind and will present it to the Khan soon. It can be regarded as an explanation for the failure of the 'Anti-Traitor Conference'." Yan Wuji deliberately ignored Yun Zhuiyue's embarrassment and raised his cup of tea to him with a smile on his face. "I dare not presume to speculate on the Khan's decision, but in my opinion... Lord Yun can give it a try. As long as you can successfully gain Liu Xunyi's trust, you have a 70% chance of success. Here, I wish Lord Yun success and make an unprecedented contribution to the Khan and Mongolia!"

"Thanks to Lord Yanling's good words, Yun will do his best to serve the Khan until his death!"

After expressing their loyalty, the two men replaced the wine with tea and drank it all in one gulp.

"Saint Lord Yun, you said that the people around Liu Xunyi have their own plans, but at least they can support each other on major issues. Only you, who bear the heavy responsibility entrusted by the Khan, are completely alone in Danfeng Garden. Please forgive me for asking, you are alone...will you be stretched to the limit when encountering problems?"

"Alone?" Yun Zhuiyue didn't seem to understand what Yan Wuji meant. She subconsciously looked back at Si Wudao, Tang Xuan, Shao Yuanqing and Wuming, "Why did Master Yan Ling say that?"

“Saint Lord Yun, please don’t misunderstand! Longxiang Mountain is full of hidden talents, all of whom are smart, capable, courageous and knowledgeable heroes. When Yan said ‘alone’, he meant that apart from Longxiang Mountain, there seems to be no one who can look after Saint Lord Yun. If something goes wrong, you won’t even be able to find someone to cover for you…”

Yun Zhuiyue gradually realized that Yan Wuji had other intentions, and said sternly, "Master Yan Ling, if you have anything to say, just say it. Why beat around the bush?"

"What Yan means is... do you want me to find a helper for you?"

"Helper?" Yun Zhuiyue was stunned. "What helper?"

"Liu Xunyi's sworn brother, Su He." Yan Wuji's eyes condensed, and he got straight to the point, "Su He is now deeply trusted by Liu Xunyi. If he helps secretly, I believe that Lord Yun will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. If you need it, Yan can..." "No need!" Yun Zhuiyue waved his hand and rejected Yan Wuji's kindness without hesitation, "Lord Yanling should know Su He better than me. This person has a strong temperament and acts openly and honestly. He disdains conspiracies and intrigues. Let him murder his sworn brother? You know the answer without thinking."

"That...whatever!" Yan Wuji sighed, "I was too emotional and always wanted to persuade Su He to turn back..."

"Su He has become a running dog of the Han people. Even if he turns back, he is not worthy of serving the Khan." Long Yu said sinisterly, "But sooner or later, I will bring his head back to Mobei and hang it high on the battle flag, so that the descendants of the grassland will learn from it."

"Holy Lord, it's almost dawn!"

At Wuming's reminder, Yun Zhuiyue, with tired eyes, slowly stood up and bowed to Yan Wuji: "Master Yan Ling, if there is nothing else, Yun will take his leave first."

"Thank you for taking the trouble to come here overnight, Lord Yun. I am deeply moved."

"Master Yan Ling, there is no need to be so polite."

After the greetings, Yun Zhuiyue no longer hesitated and led Si Wudao, Tang Xuan, Shao Yuanqing and Wuming to walk quickly towards the door.

"correct!"

Before Yun Zhuiyue stretched out her hand to open the door, Yan Wuji's voice sounded again. However, his tone sounded a little lazy, as if he was just asking casually: "There is a person named Qin Wei... Is he imprisoned by you in Danfeng Garden?"

"It seems so!" Yun Zhuiyue put his hand on the door and asked without turning his head, "Why did Master Yanling mention this person?"

"I heard that this person is an official appointed by the Song Dynasty court. He is young but holds a high position. Is this true or false?"

"I don't know." Yun Zhuiyue's answer was simple and clear.

"Then...how does Liu Xunyi plan to deal with him? I heard that the two of them had some friendship in the past?"

"I don't know." Yun Zhuiyue's answer was still direct. "Master Yan Ling should know that I don't like to meddle in other people's affairs."

"Of course! Of course!" Faced with Yun Zhuiyue's impatience, Yan Wuji's laughter became a little awkward.

"What? Could it be that Master Yan Ling knows Qin Wei?"

"I don't know him." Yan Wuji laughed dryly, "I just heard that Qin Wei is a popular figure in front of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and has a promising future. I can't help but be curious."

"is it?"

As if he could hear a hint of doubt in Yun Zhuiyue's tone, Yan Wuji quickly collected his thoughts and said righteously, "Yan is just asking casually, Lord Yun, there is no need to be distracted by this. Put the overall situation first, be careful in everything, and use the code to contact us if there is anything."

"I will act carefully, and Master Yan Ling should also take care of yourself."

"sure."

"Farewell!"

After saying that, Yun Zhuiyue opened the door and led Si Wudao and the other three to quickly disappear into the darkness before dawn.
