The attack on the princess immediately caused a huge sensation within the dynasty from the night when the people of the Ming Dynasty broke into the palace and left Beijing.

From the royal family in the capital to the dignitaries of the dynasty, from the warlords to the mountains of Daomen, they all reacted to this matter as soon as possible and made every effort to investigate every detail of this matter.

Even, even the banner man is closely monitoring the development of the situation.

After several days of sleeplessness, with a distance of thousands of miles a day, King Ming, who finally arrived at Shangqing Mountain, only stayed for less than half a day, and suddenly took the news of all the black-clothed guards down the mountain, and at the fastest speed, after being transmitted back to the hands of all parties from Shangqing Mountain by spies from all sides, it attracted the attention of all parties at the first time.

Lin Huayao, who had already left Beijing yesterday and was sitting on the special train back to eastern Guangdong, also received the news at this moment.

In fact, they received more than just the news that Mo Bai had gone down the mountain.

Even during the blockade of Shangqing Mountain in the past few days, some of the situation after Mo Bai went up the mountain has also been passed on to them.

Obviously, they planted people inside Shangqing Mountain, Mo Bai left, and after Shangqing Mountain lifted the blockade, they passed the news as soon as possible.

After Lin Huayao finished reading the information, he threw the information in his hand on the small table in front of him, looked at Chu Ruocai, and said, "I don't know how Suyin was attacked. It's not clear what the situation is now. King Ming's whereabouts this time are still unclear. ”

Chu Ruocai sat opposite Lin Huayao, and when he heard his not salty and non-salty tone, he knew that he was dissatisfied with Shangqing Mountain in his heart.

But to be honest, they are indeed looking forward to and attaching great importance to this belated intelligence.

But he didn't expect that after waiting for so long, nothing came out, even Chu Ruocai was also very disappointed by this, and said: "The Ming Wangfu has imposed martial law on Shangqing Mountain, blocking the news, and the people in Shangqing Mountain are more cautious, and they don't dare to inquire more, and they can talk about the past." ”

When Lin Huayao heard this, he shook his head and pointed to the intelligence report on the table: "It's not a matter of ability, it's a matter of attitude." Tell me, whose spy would be so bold and unclear about all the important information given to the Lord? Does this sound like a word? ”

Hearing the two words of the master, Chu Ruocai realized that the handsome man was not just dissatisfied with Shangqingshan's failure to do a good job this time.

Rather, it is setting the tone for Shangqing Mountain and other Taoist gates and their status in the Southern Army in the future.

Shangqingshan is no longer a partnership of the Southern Army, but a minister under the banner of the Southern Army!

Chu Ruocai thought about it, and still felt that this matter should not be rushed, although Shangqing Mountain was down, but after a long time, he might not be able to put down his face so easily, and be willing to be a minister to the marshal.

Now that the situation is uneven and the war is about to start, it is not appropriate to make a big move, so he vaguely reminded: "Now that the war is approaching, it is the time to employ people, they have some mistakes, you might as well punish the big admonition, in order to see the after-effects!" ”

Lin Huayao raised his eyebrows, but finally listened, didn't say anything more about it, but instead pondered for a while, and said: "The one who started at Suyin is said to be someone from Huangting Mansion, what do you think of this matter?" ”

This is the only valuable content in this intelligence.

In fact, this news had already spread to the capital, but it was pinched in the hands of Yuqing and others, and there was no spread outside.

Therefore, Lin Huayao did not know the news about the murderer until today, through this information.

However, the people in Shangqing Mountain know only a limited amount, but when the princess was first attacked, they heard that the murderer was from Huang Tingfu.

Soon after, Shangqing Mountain was blocked and martial law, and it was not until Mo Bai left that the seal was lifted, and the people of Shangqing Mountain did not have time to notice that there were two missing teachers on their mountain, so it was rumored that the murderer was from Huangting Mansion.

"I was about to share this matter with the marshal, but my subordinates thought that it was very strange to say that Huang Tingfu was the murderer." When Chu Ruocai heard this, his face immediately turned straight and he said solemnly.

"Weird?" Seeing this, Lin Huayao's body straightened slightly: "Let's talk about it!" ”

Chu Ruo immediately said: "Since the Shangqing Mountain Incident, the Huangting Mansion has also been shaken, and in order to avoid the Ming Palace's revenge, most of them have taken refuge under our command along with Shangqing Mountain. There are also some who don't want the mountain gate to be cut off and the incense is left. Those who did not want to go down the mountain stayed inside the mountain gate. So now if you want to talk about the Huangting Mansion, it is actually roughly divided into two parts: those who are still in the ancestral court and those who have taken refuge in us. If it was someone from Huang Tingfu who attacked Miss, it must have come from one of these two. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Ruocai shook his head, and his voice was a little more solemn: "However, now the entire Daomen knows that the Huangting Mansion that stayed in the mountain gate has now taken refuge in the Ming Wangfu, and is running around for the Ming Wangfu, lobbying other mountain gates to submit to the Ming Wangfu, they have no reason and no strength to go against the Ming Wangfu." ”

Hearing this, Lin Huayao had already understood what Chu Ruocai meant, and he didn't panic, but said in a deep voice: "In other words, if the attack on Suyin was really done by the Huang Ting Mansion, then it will definitely not be the Huang Ting Mansion that stays in the Daomen, but the Huang Ting Mansion under our command." ”

Chu Ruocai said in a deep voice: "That's right, but the truth is that it's impossible for us to do this at all." Now that they are taking refuge under the command of our Southern Army, how can they go to assassinate Miss? After doing this, is there still a place for them in the world? Obviously, this can't be done on our side. It was neither done by the ancestral court, nor by us, if the information on Shangqing Mountain is correct, and the murderer is really involved in the Huangting Mansion, I am afraid that there is a deep mystery behind this. ”

"Even if the information is wrong, it can never be groundless, there must be such a statement, so I am afraid that someone is deliberately planting it." When Lin Huayao heard this, he slowly exhaled a breath, his eyes burst with light in an instant, and his killing intent rose and fell, and his voice was obviously cold: "If nothing else, the target of this sham is us." ”

"Yes, my subordinates also feel that it is not just a coincidence that the murderer pointed at Huang Tingfu. Either this matter is false, but someone deliberately creates rumors in an attempt to disrupt the public and create pressure on us, so it doesn't matter. But I'm afraid that this is not a rumor, it is really someone who deliberately set up a situation and pretended to be Miss Huang Tingfu to assassinate Miss in an attempt to provoke us and King Ming. Chu Ruocai's tone was very solemn.

Lin Huayao obviously paid attention to it, only to see him squint slightly, and after a little muttering, his face obviously began to sink, and anger gradually rose in his eyes: "If it is really as you guessed, it is not just to sow discord." It is foreseeable that once the Ming Wangfu really determines that Huang Tingfu is the murderer, it must be pointed to this part of the people under our command, with the personality of the Ming King, how can he give up? It will inevitably force us to hand over the Huangting Mansion. ”

At the same time, the two mountains and four gates involved in this matter will definitely come forward together, and even the royal family can't sit idly by. Not to mention their pressure, even we ourselves can't be indifferent, Suyin is my daughter after all, the princess of the Southern Army, he was assassinated, I can't ignore it. Even if we don't hand over the Huang Ting Mansion, we have to deal with it ourselves. It doesn't matter if there is a Huangting Mansion, if it is gone, it will be gone, however, other Daomen forces such as Shangqing Mountain under our command are bound to be separated from us. After several plots, these Dao forces that were won with great difficulty will be reduced to nothing in an instant......"

On the other hand, Chu Ruocai listened to Lin Huayao's words, and his face changed completely, he hadn't thought so far ahead.

I have to say that the person who can dominate one side is indeed not in vain, just based on such a little bit of speculation that is not even a sign at all, in a moment, he can peel off the cocoon and analyze any harm that may be caused to his side in the future.

"Good calculation, really good calculation!" Lin Huayao's killing intent began to startle, but his eyes were cold, and he sneered a few times: "Some people are afraid that they are underestimating the old man too much, catching thieves and taking dirty, and there is no tangible evidence, so they want to move to Ben Shuai's head, is it really muddy that Ben Shuai is pinched?" ”

"The key is King Ming!" Chu Ruocai was not optimistic at the moment, and reminded: "Just like the handsome said, if the young lady is really serious, with the impulsive nature of King Ming, I am afraid that she will not take care of anything else at all, and if you are angry, you will have to clash with us head-on." If this is really a game, don't mention anything else, just use the princess, and make King Ming turn his face with us, which can be regarded as a success. ”

Although they have been saying that these are just ifs, in fact, the two of them have actually been determined, and I am afraid that all this is not something they think too much about.

When it comes to their pattern of competing for world domination, there are many things that are no coincidence, as long as a little sign is revealed, there is often something behind it.

Lin Huayao closed his eyes, was slightly silent, and soon opened them again, the murderous aura in his eyes had converged, but his eyebrows had become more and more tightened, and said: "You reminded me that King Ming rushed all the way to Shangqing Mountain, but he suddenly went down the mountain in half a day......

When Chu Ruocai heard this, he immediately stood up in shock, the car swayed, and he sat down again, and was about to speak, but saw Lin Huayao raise his hand: "No need to panic, just a few calculations can't turn over the handsome sky." ”

After that, Lin Huayao groaned again, and after a while, he saw that he must be in his eyes: "If King Ming really went directly to our territory, it may not be a bad thing." ”

"What do you mean?" Chu Ruocai was slightly stunned and didn't understand immediately.

"If someone really sets up a game, we will lose the lead and be in a passive position. The main reason is that the situation is unclear, and the Ming Wangfu is not easy to fool, if it really rushes to the Huangting Mansion, it must have some evidence, which can prove that the Huangting Mansion under our command did it. If there is really ironclad evidence, he can deal with Huang Tingfu one step ahead of us, and it may not be a solution for us. Lin Huayao squinted his eyes and said slowly.

Chu Ruocai calmed down when he heard the words, and thought about it carefully.

Lin Huayao continued: "Now it is best to stand still and sit back and watch the development, if King Ming's evidence is sufficient, then the Huangting Mansion will not be able to be kept no matter what, we will avoid a head-on conflict with him, so let him deal with the Huangting Mansion, and then use the reason for his trespassing on the territory of the Southern Army to ask him to explain, so as to appease Shangqingshan and other Daomen." ”

"If he Ming Wang just attacked Huang Tingfu in a fit of anger, then Ben Shuai would not have to teach him a lesson, let him know that this world is not something he can do."

"Handsome and wise!" Chu Ruocai was convinced, it was really Lin Huayao's reaction that was too fast, let King Ming appear first, and the initiative could return to the hands of the Southern Army. He had to admire.

Lin Huayao shook his head, his eyes flashed with concern: "Although it is still just speculation, but rather believe it, the preparations that should be made must be done, the current loss is in the intelligence, Yuqing has already seen King Ming, he will definitely be able to get some accurate news, if you want to get accurate news, you can only start from his side, and immediately start the people of Yuqing Mountain, and be sure to get the news as quickly as possible." In addition, immediately send people to strictly control the various routes from Xijiang to eastern Guangdong, and once they find the traces of Mobai and the Ming Wangfu personnel, they will report immediately! ”

"Yes!" Chu Ruocai hurriedly responded.
