Chapter 228: Chu Yun's civil strife (Part 2)
There is a dispute over the head of Xuefeng Island, and Chu Yun Kingdom has imperial power to seize the throne. But these are all illusions made for different purposes. In fact, these two things have been concluded long ago.
On Xuefeng Island, Chen Wanfeng just arranged the whetstone for Huangfu Xuan, the last test. In Chu Yun Kingdom, Chu Yuanhao, the King of Liang of Chu, was also a fake target. Under the banner of competing for throne, he played the court officials with the emperor. However, Chu Yuanhao played better than Chen Wanfeng because His Highness Liang was really playing.
Just over a month ago, King of Liang, Chu Yuanhao, banned the palace and put the emperor under house arrest with the prince who had just returned to the court. The old dean in the inner court, the Supreme Emperor, had no expression. Most of the royal powerhouses turned to King of Liang, and were almost bloodless. Although it would take some time to appease the various places and control the overall situation, judging from what they had shown before, King of Liang had obviously had a long plan. If there were no accidents, Emperor Chu Yun would be replaced soon.
Looking at Xu Zhengming's briefing, Chen Wanfeng was inexplicably complicated.
I had thought about working with King Liang and leveraging each other's strength, but now I see that I am not playing the same level as others. The art of power and secular dynasties will always be ancestors.
Seeing the second half of Xu Zhengming's letter again, Chen Wanfeng smiled bitterly again.
The letter was sent a month ago. Xu Zhengming didn't know that Chen Wanfeng had been eliminated at the time, but made such predictions.
Xu Zhengming vaguely stated that Chen Wanfeng could do what His Highness King Liang did. Even if Huangfu Xuan was finally promoted, Chen Wanfeng would not be able to fight. As for the old island master and the eight supreme elders, His Highness King Liang could come forward to appease him. There would be no cost after the matter was completed, as long as he could maintain a good relationship with Chu Yun Kingdom.
If it were before, Chen Wanfeng would probably be moved, but now he can only smile bitterly.
The biggest responsibility of the head of Xuefeng Island is to transform into a formation spirit to protect the Xuefeng Array. Chen Wanfeng did not have the awareness of sacrificing for the sect, but this method was difficult for him to accept no matter what.
What Chen Wanfeng longed for is to take Xuefeng Island to become stronger and become an existence that can compete with Jianlou, leaving a glorious page in the sect. He was trapped in Xuefeng Island for only one lifetime, and with the body of the formation spirit, Chen Wanfeng was unable to do it. From this perspective, Chen Wanfeng admired Huangfu Xuan very much.
At the end of the letter, Xu Zhengming also mentioned Liu Feiyan.
As the imperial concubine, Liu Feiyan was not caught, but ran away early, and seemed to have the emperor's secret decree on her body. Xu Zhengming judged that Liu Feiyan would probably escape back to Xuefeng Island and asked Chen Wanfeng to put her under house arrest. It would be better not to let her see Huangfu Xuan, and Xu Zhengming would also arrive soon.
After seeing the complete content, Chen Wanfeng thought for a while and decided to do it according to Xu Zhengming's request.
This is not that he still wants to compete for the position of leader, but that the change of imperial power in Chu Yun Kingdom has become a fact, and it is unwise to stand on the side of the old emperor to fight against King Liang. Xuefeng Island only wants the ally of Chu Yun Kingdom. As long as the alliance continues to maintain, it doesn’t matter who becomes the emperor. Xuefeng Island has just decided to establish a new leader, so it is not appropriate to cause any further twists and turns.
"Come." Chen Wanfeng sent a secret message, and two disciples walked into the hall.
"Send the order to the law enforcement team." Chen Wanfeng handed out his deacon token: "Chu Yun is in a civil turmoil, and Liu Feiyan is the imperial concubine of the Great Chu, and he is likely to escape back to Xuefeng Island. If he sees Liu Feiyan coming to the island, the law enforcement team will immediately capture him, lock the sea of true energy, and temporarily imprison Jinyu Village. After I discuss with Junior Brother Huangfu, we will deal with it."
The members of the law enforcement team are basically warriors in the Qi Gathering Realm. Each team is led by a captain of the Innate Realm. Usually hidden among ordinary disciples, they will only act if they receive orders. The law enforcement team is usually jointly responsible by two deacon elders. Now Huangfu Xuan is preparing to take over as the leader, and Chen Wanfeng can issue orders alone.
Chen Wanfeng didn't think about how to put Liu Feiyan in house and temporarily put him under house arrest for a while. After the matter of Chu Yun Kingdom was settled, he would release him. Chen Wanfeng was just prepared for these things and didn't think anything would happen. But now he didn't know that two unstable people had just been involved in Jinyu Village.
...
"Wow, this village is so luxurious." Lin Qingqing's eyes were blurred.
Glazed tiles, white jade walls, and children take a rattle with gold. It may be because of the relationship between young girls. The villagers did not conflict with these two strange visitors, and some people took the initiative to come forward to chat. I heard that they were here to find Chu Wenting, but the villagers' reaction was the same as that of Bai Xuejia. They thought they were here to deliver the letter, so someone immediately led the way.
Situ Xiazhen and Lin Qingqing were led to a small yard. The person who led the way called Aunt Liu, and the old woman Aunt Liu walked out of the yard.
The villagers were not from the palace but also from the daughter of a top-notch family. They were all very angry and looked down upon. After saying hello, they left consciously.
"Are you from Chu Yun Kingdom?" Aunt Liu asked.
"Yes, yes, how did you know?" Lin Qingqing was curious.
"Are you a person in the palace?" Aunt Liu asked again.
"No, I am from Chu Yunwu Academy and a student of the inner courtyard." Lin Qingqing explained seriously.
If Situ Xiazhen answered it, Aunt Liu would definitely be suspicious. But Lin Qingqing saw that she was not scheming, and she could only answer her mind, which made Aunt Liu lose her guard.
"Feiyan has learned to be smart." Aunt Liu nodded slightly: "It is better to find people from the Martial Arts Academy to deliver letters than in the palace."
Lin Qingqing didn't understand and was about to ask something, but Situ Xiazhen suddenly spoke next to her: "What a cute little girl."
Following Situ Xiazhen's gaze, Lin Qingqing's eyes lit up.
In the yard, a little girl with pink and jade stood there, blinking curiously.
"Ah, are you Chu Wenting?" Lin Qingqing rushed into the yard, squatted in front of the little girl, and said with a smile. "I am Lin Qingqing, do you recognize me..."
Halfway through the words, he ran into the yard, ignored the adults and went to tease the children. This behavior was undoubtedly impolite. But Lin Qingqing was too fast, and Aunt Liu was stunned and didn't react at the first time.
"Forgive me, old lady." Situ Xiazhen bowed: "Qingqing is not intentionally disrespectful to the old lady."
"It's okay." Aunt Liu couldn't help but smile: "This girl is quite interesting."
Lin Qingqing is innocent and elegant, Situ Xia is really disciplined and moderate, and Aunt Liu has a very good first impression of the two daughters.
"What did Feiyan bring?" Aunt Liu asked.
"Situ doesn't know." Situ Xiazhen said: "I'm just here to confirm whether Miss Chu is here. I have to ask my master for the specific matter."
Aunt Liu did not show any surprises.
Lin Qingqing and Situ Xiazhen are both girls of sixteen or seventeen. It is impossible for them to come to Xuefeng Island thousands of miles away, and they must be following others. Moreover, from Situ Xiazhen's words, Aunt Liu also saw that she did not know Chu Wenting's true identity.
"Who is your master?" Aunt Liu asked.
"The master's surname is Zhang Nan, and he is instructor of the Jiashe in Chuyun Martial Arts Academy, but the old lady should not know him." Situ Xiazhen said: "It is not convenient for the master to come to Jinyu Village. I want to take Miss Chu to the master to see him. I wonder if it is possible?"
Situ Xia really seemed to have an excessive suggestion, but the old lady just hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Chu Wenting often runs to the forest to play, and Aunt Liu is not in a hurry. Xuefeng Island is so big, there is no danger at all, and it is even more impossible to be abducted. Although she lives in Jinyu Village under half-housed arrest, Aunt Liu still believes in the power of Xuefeng Island. As long as she is on this island, it is equivalent to being at her own home.
Of course, the combination of innocence and calculating by Lin Qingqing and Situ Xiazhen is also one of the reasons why Aunt Liu let go of her guard.
Just as the abduction mission was progressing smoothly, a figure was quietly walking towards Jinyu Village.
From a distance, it was an ordinary male disciple from Xuefeng Island. But if you look closer, it is not difficult to find that this male disciple is a bit too handsome.
