Two or three conspiracies

The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, in the Red Lotus Sect meeting hall, Ma Qingxue is also full of worries, she leans on the back of the chair and closes her eyes to recuperate, with a trace of fatigue on her face, but her heart is still turning over the river and the sea, after a while, she waved her hand, and one of her subordinates immediately approached respectfully, Ma Qingxue opened her eyes, and the opponent said: "Please become a protector." ”

After a while, Cheng Shilong hurriedly walked into the conference hall, and before he could speak, Ma Qingxue had already signaled his subordinates to withdraw from the hall, and there were only two people left in the huge conference hall.

Cheng Shilong sat down straight and said to Ma Qingxue: "Holy aunt, but there is something to discuss?" ”

Ma Qingxue didn't answer, and spread out her clenched fists, and there was a note inside. She unfolded the note, and Cheng Shilong saw a few small characters written on it:

"The Red Lotus Sect has a mole."

It turned out that Bian Fengping was chased all the way, as if she was going to take away the holy girl's jade pendant and plunder the saint's daughter, she was secretly suspicious in her heart, and after seeing Ma Qingxue, for the sake of safety, she did not make the slightest noise, but only secretly visited, although it was a few days, and it was during the period of recuperation, but she was still suspicious, so she secretly stuffed a note to Ma Qingxue when she left, reminding her to be secretly vigilant.

Cheng Shilong didn't feel surprised after reading the note, in his heart, he also felt a lot of doubts, but some time ago he had been suspicious of the black-clothed man he saw in Sanpo, and he felt that the sect didn't seem to be so credible in the past two days, he thought about it and said to Ma Qingxue: "Now the four hall masters of wind, rain, thunder, and electricity are Li Zijian, Bai Bowen, Duan Qinglian, and Mo Sixie, among the four, Li Zijian has the highest martial arts and the strongest temperament, Bai Bowen is the most resourceful, Duan Qinglian has the most delicate mind, Mo Siyi has the best tongue, and the four have their own characteristics. This is also the reason why four people were selected to be in charge of the four halls in the first place, the four people manage the affairs of the hall in different ways, but each of them has some means, but I don't know which branch the mole comes from? ”

Ma Qingxue was silent.

Cheng Shilong thought for a while, and couldn't help but propose: "Otherwise, let's invite the four hall masters to the council hall and let them go back and check carefully, to see which people are suspicious?" ”

Ma Qingxue looked at Cheng Shilong, hesitated for a moment and said, "But if the hall master has a different heart, wouldn't it be a surprise to the snake?" ”

This is what Ma Qingxue has been worrying about for the past two days, she refuses to believe that the four hall masters have external intentions, but she is cautious, and she can't let go of it when she thinks about it, so she can only ask Cheng Shilong to discuss this matter.

Cheng Shilong was shocked, but he secretly shouted "ashamed" in his heart, he has been on guard against the black-clothed man secretly making trouble, and he can't help but be a little lax about the affairs of the sect, hearing Ma Qingxue say this, he immediately understood, and whispered: "Listen to Mama Bian's tone, these people know a lot about the affairs of the sect, but if any of the hall masters really have an outside heart, things will be in trouble." ”

Ma Qingxue's voice was a little tired: "Feng Ping is suspicious of Yutang and Lei Tang, but these two hall masters are Bai Bowen, who happened to be married to Yang Xue, and the other is Duan Qinglian, Yang Xue and Qinglian are both sisters who grew up with me in Siling Mountain, I think it's too incredible." "It turned out that Hu Yangxue and Duan Qinglian were both selected saints, the three of them grew up since childhood, and their love was very deep, and later Ma Qingxue was selected as the holy aunt in the sect because of a coincidence, Hu Yangxue and Bai Bowen secretly fell in love, and made up a couple, Duan Qinglian became the master of the Lei Hall.

Cheng Shilong knew that Ma Qingxue was distressed, but this matter was very important, and he couldn't easily conclude it, so he had to comfort Ma Qingxue and said: "Mama Bian only suspects Yutang and Leitang, and there is no evidence, let's investigate in secret, just be more careful." ”

Ma Qingxue knew that this matter was in a hurry, and when she heard Cheng Shilong say this, she also nodded:

"Let's brake with silence and see what else the person in the dark has?"

After a slight pause, he asked, "Is there any movement over there?" ”

Cheng Shilong knew what she was talking about, and replied: "There is no one over there to urge it, but yesterday in a branch altar in the western suburbs of the capital was smashed, and four or five people were injured. ”

Ma Qingxue's eyebrows couldn't help but raise when she heard this: "But someone was sent over there to do it?" ”

Cheng Shilong replied: "There is no evidence that someone was sent over there, but in my judgment, it must be the pressure exerted by that person, and it is estimated that he is impatient to wait and wants us to give an answer." ”

Ma Qingxue sighed and said, "In your opinion, is it possible to cooperate?" ”

Cheng Shilong thought for a while, and said what he had thought in his heart for the past two days: "According to my original intention, I really don't want to have anything to do with political affairs, but since that person found us, and he was able to get out of it so easily, he told you and me such a confidential matter, it must be imperative, either we help him, or he regards the Red Lotus Sect as a thorn in his side." ”

Ma Qingxue agreed with what Cheng Shilong said: "I think so too, so after thinking about it, I can't come to a conclusion." ”

Cheng Shilong waited for her to finish, and then said: "I have thought about it carefully in the past two days, this matter is inseparable, either help that side, or break the affairs over there, and it will be regarded as helping the current crown prince." Speaking of which, Cheng Shilong's face was already categorical.

Ma Qingxue didn't expect Cheng Shilong to say this, she was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help repeating: "Either join forces or dismantle the stage." ”

Jackie Shilong nodded and said, "That's exactly what it means." Now whether to join forces or dismantle the stage depends on whose chances of winning are better, now that Concubine Wan has passed away, Emperor Chenghua is sad, and the court is also very confused, a group of people under Concubine Wan are leaderless, and that person is jumping out now, it is precisely the intention of taking over these forces, but with that person, can he still change the dynasty? ”

Ma Qingxue agreed: "I also have this idea, but that person seems to have a plan, but I don't know what else he has in his hands that we don't know." Concubine Wan has been favored for many years, and that person is Concubine Wan's henchman, so she can't be underestimated. It is rumored that the crown prince is frail and sickly, and Concubine Wan has always regarded it as a thorn in her side, but she doesn't know how the crown prince is and how many chances she has of winning if she bets on the crown prince's side. ”

The Red Lotus Sect has never been involved in the political affairs of the imperial court, so it has been at peace with the imperial court for many years, but judging from the current situation, this turmoil is inevitable, it is related to the survival of the Red Lotus Sect, and the two of them dare not have the slightest carelessness. He hesitated for a moment before he said an idea that he had thought of in recent days: "The Red Lotus Sect has always had little contact with the imperial court, and it doesn't care much about court affairs, so now it depends on whether the crown prince can win that person and successfully ascend to the throne." As for the character of the crown prince, we really haven't paid attention to it. I've had an idea these days—"

At this point, Cheng Shilong paused, and then said:

"Send someone to infiltrate the palace and find out the truth in the palace."

When he said this, his voice was low, but in Ma Qingxue's ears, it was undoubtedly something that he didn't expect as a bolt from the blue.

After a while, Ma Qingxue said: "People say that you are resourceful, but in fact, you are also very bold. ”

Cheng Shilong smiled bitterly: "In extraordinary times, you should use extraordinary means." I can still make people dress up as palace maids and sneak into the palace for a while. ”

Ma Qingxue knew that he had a plan, so she waited for him to keep talking.

Cheng Shilong continued: "Originally, I wanted to find a smart and clever person in the sect to pretend to be a palace maid, but now that the situation in the sect is like this, if the news leaks out, not only will the life of the undercover person be in danger, but that person also knows what we are planning, and his actions will be more insidious." Therefore, I would like to—" He stopped talking again.

Ma Qingxue didn't wait for him to say more, and helped him say, "Holy Maiden." ”

Jackie Shilong nodded: "Exactly." ”

Ma Qingxue said softly: "This matter is too important, let me think about it." ”

Cheng Shilong's voice was earnest: "Holy Aunt, this matter should not be delayed. ”

Ma Qingxue waved her hand and said, "A quarter of an hour." ”

The hall was silent, the sound of rain outside the window hit the eaves, indescribably crisp, Cheng Shilong saw Ma Qingxue's hands clenched and clenched in his sleeves, and finally said two words:

"It's up to you."
