Chapter 46: Into the Urn
"Professor Qi, I don't know what you have to say?" Looking at the white-bearded, elegant and upright old man in front of him, Prince Situ Yulin didn't dare to have the slightest arrogance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Different from the hatred of the powerful gatekeepers, for the Hongwen Academy, Situ Yulin is extremely respectful in his heart.
As a sect, the background of Hongwen Academy is not much worse than that of the royal family. And more importantly, almost sixty percent of the entire Izumo Empire's civil service system came from Kobunin, which shows how influential it is.
Of course, the reason why Situ Yulin respects him the most is that he, as a child of the royal family, the current crown prince, has studied in Hongwen Academy for more than ten years.
If it is according to the seniority, the old master in front of him must respectfully give the gift of the academy.
This time, the students sent by Hongwen Academy are all headed by this person. He was the chief advisor throughout the camp.
"Your Highness, please look." As Professor Qi spoke, he took out a map drawn in sheepskin from his robe, slowly unfolded it, and pointed out more than a dozen locations on the map in a row, and finally his withered hand was fixed on the Lushan Mountain in the center of the map, "I don't know if it's a coincidence or whatever, this Lan Ji's escape route seems messy, but don't you think, Your Highness, that she's getting closer and closer to Lushan?" ”
Situ Yulin's face froze, this Professor Qi's guidance was the route of Lan Ji's escape, as he said, it seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally attracting the pursuers behind to march towards Lushan.
"Professor, you mean, this Lan Ji did it on purpose?" To be able to become the crown prince of the empire, Situ Yulin was naturally not a stupid and ignorant person, and immediately understood the meaning of Professor Qi's words.
If this is a coincidence, it seems too coincidental. But if it's not a coincidence, is there some conspiracy in this?
The royal alliance army took such a great effort to scatter 30,000 troops into Liuyuan County, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, so that the real elites who gathered in Tianzuo Mansion could quietly go straight to Lushan, and then take it there with lightning speed.
But if Lan Ji also deliberately ran to Lushan, then it would be much more interesting.
"Your Highness, these days, the old man has been thinking behind closed doors, and although he still can't figure out anything, he always feels that behind all these things, there seems to be an invisible hand pushing it." Professor Qi said with a worried face.
Situ Yulin was silent, his eyebrows were knotted together, and after a long time, he said bitterly, "This palace understands the professor's painstaking efforts, but now, whether it is a conspiracy or not, do you think we can go back?" ”
As Situ Yulin spoke, his eyes glanced towards the full hall of powerful retainers, intentionally or unintentionally.
There is no turning back from the bow, and at this point, even if there is really something to hide, it can't be stopped.
Otherwise, these elites will disagree in the first place. If he insisted on going his own way and stopping this matter, Situ Yulin would be able to guess what he would face when he returned to Izumo Mansion?
If the thirty-six powerful families collude together and force the palace together, even if they depose the prince of the East Palace, it is possible.
"Hey!!" Professor Qi is not a pedantic person, he quickly understood Situ Yulin's difficulties, and knew that he couldn't do anything, so he could only sigh heavily in the end.
……
Dungeon, Sword Hell Mountain Villa Sect Master's Mansion.
In the study, Zhan Bai sat upright for a long time, glancing at the secret letter in his hand from time to time.
After a while, Qin Yin walked in again with a stack of secret letters.
"How's the situation out there now?" Zhan Bai looked up and asked.
"It's all expected by Childe. Now the battle situation in Liuyuan County is erosive. After Lan Ji's agitation, the balance was completely broken, and the forces of all parties were fighting together. The tens of thousands of outer disciples we sent in the past have already lost more than half of them. Everyone is red-eyed, and there is no need to push it. As soon as Qin Yin thought that many disciples of Sword Prison Mountain Villa were about to die in this battle, her face became very unnatural, and her heart was full of guilt.
"It's just a matter of going to the chaff, instead of letting them plague the dungeon and the sect, it's better to go to the battlefield and experience it. Those who survive in the end might as well give them a chance to enter the inner door. Zhan Bai said indifferently.
Qin Yin calmed down a little and continued, "There has been news from the Tianzuo Mansion that the elites of the royal family have been dispatched overnight today, but they seem to be very cautious. actually sent a team of 100 scouts to Lushan first. ”
"It's okay, there is no shortage of smart people in the world, and it's not surprising to see anything from Lan Ji's escape route." Zhan Bai didn't care, "What about Dieyi?" ”
"The Ninth Girl has already led someone to sneak into Lushan first." The sound of the piano replied.
"Didn't the Heavenly Evil Sect find out?" Zhan Bai said curiously.
Although the Heavenly Evil Sect is declining day by day, after all, it has been entrenched in Lushan for decades, and it also attaches great importance to that place, and it still sends heavy troops to guard it until now.
"I found out. The Heavenly Evil Sect has attached great importance to the operation of Lushan Mountain over the years, and has established three layers just by guarding the mountain. It's not so easy to get into it without knowing it. The sound of the piano is not without solemnity.
"Oh, how did Butterfly get in?" Zhan Bai said curiously.
"Childe doesn't know that the Heavenly Evil Sect has split since the mysterious death of the sect master. Now there are three thousand disciples of the Heavenly Evil Sect stationed on Lushan Mountain, and as early as the beginning, they are on the side of the arc moon. The nine girls went here in the name of conspiring with the arc moon. Qin Yin said with admiration.
"Oh, so the arc moon is also in Lushan?" Zhanbai came to interest.
"I'm afraid it's not there, otherwise the girl in the butterfly clothes won't be able to stay there for long."
Zhanbai nodded, the main owner is not there, and if Dieyi asks the person in charge of Lushan to wait, it will not arouse suspicion. After all, no matter what, Dieyi only brought a few dozen people, and it wouldn't cause much trouble to the Heavenly Evil Sect. Moreover, for so many years, the two sides have not violated the river water, and the Heavenly Evil Sect will not suspect that Dieyi has any bad intentions.
"Where's Wanhuayuan?" The reason why Zhanbai said Wanhuayuan is nothing more than that it is separated from Dieyi, and what it represents is naturally the power of the worship hall.
"According to the time, I am afraid that it is less than 100 miles away from Lushan now." The sound of the piano replied.
Zhan Bai was not at all surprised as to why he was able to grasp the other party's whereabouts so accurately.
You must know that for the layout of this time, Zhanbai can be said to have used all the forces that can be mobilized, including some deeply hidden ...... Internal should.
"Well, are those old guys among them?" Zhan Bai asked again.
"There are fourteen of them, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." Qin Yin said worriedly.
These fourteen people seem to be a small number, but they can all reach the primeval realm, and if they really fight, the Taishi realm is facing each other, and it is simply looking for death, even if there are thousands of people, it is quite difficult to fight.
"Fourteen? It seems that there are two less than what Dieyi said. It seems that these old guys are also very cautious, and they didn't forget to leave the two of them in the rear. However, if these fourteen people can be left, the remaining two will not be able to make any waves. Zhan Bai muttered to himself.
"With such a large-scale personnel transfer in the sect recently, has it aroused the suspicion of the dungeon?" Zhan Bai seemed to think of something, and the topic changed.
"That's not true, after all, the situation over there in Yanamoto County is known to everyone in the entire Izumo Empire. However, Ling Niang said that there seem to be some forces that have been a little dishonest recently, especially the Izumo Mansion, which was formed by the merger of the Imperial Family, Hongbunin and Yangmen Shofu. Qin Yin replied.
"Leave it alone. After this battle, the power of the sect must have shrunk greatly, and it is impossible to dominate the dungeon. Besides, there is competition to make progress, otherwise, even if I purge it this time, in the future, the corrupt qi of the sect will still breed again. Zhan Bai waved his hand, and seeing that he understood all the situation almost, he calmly stood up from the chair.
"It's almost time, since the guests have basically arrived, then we are the hosts, and if we don't show up, it's a little too much to say."
