readx;?“ What?"

After learning Lu Yifan's news, the most surprised person was Lan Chen, only to see him 'soar' and stand up, his eyes were full of shock, he walked in front of Lan Shixun in two steps, and couldn't wait to ask: "Dad, what you said is true?"

"What? Do you think your father will lie to you?" Lan Shixun raised his eyebrows slightly, and then handed the secret report in his hand to Lan Chen, and said lightly, "I don't believe you can read it yourself!"

Seeing this, Lan Chen hurriedly took the secret report and read it impatiently, and when he took the secret report away from his eyes again, Lan Chen's face was already covered with an indescribable strange look, both shocked and unwilling. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Lan Chen has always regarded Lu Yifan as his opponent, and the two have been dissatisfied with each other since they were young and have to compete in everything, but except for the fact that Lan Chen was able to directly cultivate soul power when he was six years old, Lu Yifan's luck in other things always seems to be better than Lan Chen, so Lan Chen has always been unconvinced, and he will not believe that he is inferior to Lu Yifan, Lan Chen has always been defeated by Lu Yifan, and he is all due to Lu Yifan's luck. But this news really gave Lan Chen a blow to his heart.

The two are the same age, almost the same background and growth environment, but Lu Yifan has now become the sect master of the Soul Sect above 10,000 people, and he is still the same as before, just a powerful son who only knows how to hide under his father's arms, this huge gap makes Lan Chen's heart feel indescribably depressed and aggrieved.

Looking at Lan Chen's strange look, Lan Shixun could see through Lan Chen's inner thoughts at once, after all, he really knew too much about his son.

"It's just a Lu Yifan, why is the worthy father so jealous?" Lan Jin, who had never spoken, finally opened his mouth faintly, only to see that there was always a sneer of indifference on his face, and said lightly, "If Dad is really not at ease, then I will personally go to the Soul Sect ......"

"No!" Before Lan Jin finished speaking, Lan Shixun suddenly stopped, "Now that the war is tight, Dad still needs you to stay by his side and wait for the dispatch!"

Lan Shixun's words made Lan Jin pouted slightly, and then said to Lan Chen with a chuckle: "Second brother, it's not that the eldest brother won't help you, it's just that my father won't allow me to go, and I can't help it!"

"There is such a thing!" Hai Lao muttered to himself with a frown, "The southwest land should be Huang Xuan's imperial sect supporting the overall situation, why would Lu Yifan suddenly kill it?"

"Hai Lao, you have been here to help me, and you haven't returned to Xuanzong for a long time, so you may not know much about what happened between the sects in the Holy Domain!" Lan Shixun said in a deep voice, "It is said that Huang Xuan and Lu Yifan lost the bet, so they were forced to give up Xihuang Mountain to Lu Yifan! This time it's good, I am conscientiously trying to dominate the world in the north, but he Lu Yifan has quietly risen in the southwest, Yan Chong, who has been forced into a desperate situation by me, has now grabbed another life-saving straw, which is really angry with me!" As he spoke, Lan Shixun also smashed the handsome case with his fist, and the thick and sturdy handsome case instantly turned into broken wood in a burst of crackling sound.

"Lord Lan, don't worry, in the eyes of my Xuanzong, the matter of the Soul Sect is just a small fight that is not enough to worry about, Lord Lan can only achieve hegemony with peace of mind, and the matter of the Soul Sect is decided, don't worry!"

"No! this Lu Yifan is the nemesis of my Lan family, although he is not very capable, he has always destroyed my good deeds, Lu Yifan does not get rid of my uneasiness!" Lan Shixun frowned and said, "I will personally give the Dongfang Sect a letter to the main cultivator, hoping that he can eradicate Lu Yifan and his Soul Sect through the hands of Xuanzong, and completely cut off Yan Chong's back road!"

Looking at Lan Shixun, who had a resolute attitude, Chu Lingtian couldn't help but remind: "My lord, Xuanzong is thousands of miles away from this, and Yan Chong has been away from Jinling for two months, at this time, you are afraid that it will be ...... time to send a letter to Xuanzong."

"Hmph! I've been prepared!" Lan Shixun put away the letter with a calm expression, and then laughed coldly, "Do you still remember the two white-winged dragon foals sent by Chai Song, the commander of Baiyin Wei Er, this divine horse can soar the clouds and resist the wind, and it can cross thousands of miles between day and night, with this divine horse, I will definitely be able to destroy Lu Yifan's Soul Sect before Yan Chong!"

"In this way, everything will be foolproof!" Chu Lingtian nodded proudly.

"Daddy......"

Just when everyone in the tent breathed a sigh of relief, Lan Chen's voice quietly sounded in Lan Shixun's ears, only to see him look at Lan Shixun quite hesitantly, and asked hesitantly: "Dad, do you really have to kill Lu Yifan?"

"What? Could it be that Chen'er wants to protect him?" Lan Shixun raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Haven't you always hated Lu Yifan?"

"I hate him, but I want to beat him with my own hands, not ......"

"Chen'er!" Without waiting for Lan Chen's words to finish, Lan Shixun's face suddenly turned cold, and then he said in a solemn tone, "A manly man, you must be decisive and dare to do things, and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, otherwise what great things can a woman like you who only hesitate to do in the future?

Being asked by Lan Shixun like this, Lan Chen couldn't help but be speechless for a while, because he suddenly found that although he was much more cold-blooded and decisive than Lu Yifan on weekdays, in fact, when it came to many critical moments, Lu Yifan was more daring than him.

"I ......"

"Second brother!" At this moment, Lan Jin walked to Lan Chen's side without knowing when, stretched out his hand and gently put it on Lan Chen's shoulder, his face was filled with a relaxed smile, "Do you know where you are worse than Lu Yifan?"

Lan Jin's words made Lan Chen's heart tremble suddenly, and then he cast a puzzled look at Lan Jin.

"You don't understand the truth that you have to be ruthless when you should be ruthless, and you have to be unscrupulous when you should be unscrupulous!" Lan Jin said with a smile, "For example, your father's hegemony, you have been stubborn until now and still can't figure it out, as your father's son, not only do you not know how to share your father's worries, but you have to obstruct everywhere, which can be described as hard as a rock! And just now when your father was about to kill Lu Yifan, you relented, did you say that you were a little far and near? I don't know who to be, who to be soft on! You ......"

"Jin'er, you all go out first!" Lan Shixun suddenly opened his mouth to interrupt Lan Jin's words, and said lightly, "You go and help me find someone to send the letter out, and now I want to talk to Chen'er alone!"

With Lan Shixun's order, Hai Lao and the others walked out of the big tent one after another, and after a while, only Lan Shixun and Lan Chen's father and son were left in the tent.

"Chen'er, how about telling you a story for your father?" Lan Shixun changed his serious appearance just now, and now he seems to have become a loving father again, "A true story that happened to his father!" Saying that, Lan Shixun pulled Lan Chen, and the two sat down face to face, looking at Lan Chen with a tangled face, Lan Shixun's face began to appear a faint look of memory, "Do you know that Hai Lao's true identity is the elder of Xuanzong?"

"Know!" Lan Chen nodded lightly.

"Then do you know that the Lou Sect used to be a very important sect of the Eastern Sect Master, and it has been conscientiously controlling the southwest for the Eastern Sect Master for many years?"

"I know it too!"

"Then aren't you curious?" Lan Shixun changed his words and asked softly, "You must know that back then, it was for my father to bring people to exterminate Lou Zong! It stands to reason that destroying Lou Zong for my father is tantamount to cutting off one of Dongfang Su's arms, why did Dongfang Su not only hold a grudge against me, but also let Hai Lao help me achieve great things together?"

"This ......" Lan Chen hadn't been able to figure it out yet, only to see him hesitantly replied, "Maybe it's because Dad, you promised the Eastern Sect Leader any benefits, right......?

"No, no, no!" Before Lan Chen finished speaking, Lan Shixun shook his head with a smile, "What kind of identity is the Holy Domain Sect Master, and how can he be moved by the little favor of his father? In fact, the reason why the Eastern Sect Master doesn't hold a grudge against me is because there has never been a real conflict between us at all!"

"There has never been a real conflict......," Lan Chen repeated Lan Shixun's words word by word, and said with a frown, "What does this mean? Isn't it true that you have offended the Eastern Sect Master by taking someone to level the Lou Sect?"

"Of course not!" Lan Shixun smiled mysteriously, "The so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind, but behind the yellow finches, there are still nets that are sparse but not leaky!"

"Dad, please forgive the child for being stupid, I don't understand the meaning of Dad's words!" Lan Chen asked curiously, "Please also tell Dad who is the praying mantis, who is the cicada, who is the yellow finch, and who has laid the net behind the yellow finch?"

"Chen'er, don't worry, listen to your father and come to you one by one!" Lan Shixun sorted out his thoughts a little, and then slowly opened his mouth, "Let me ask you who was the first person to provoke the matter of Lou Zong?"

"Yes...... Lu Yifan?" Lan Chen also knew a little about the events of the year, plus he was talented and intelligent, so under Lan Shixun's persuasion, he was a little flexible.

"That's good!" Lan Shixun nodded, "What did Lu Yifan have a grudge against Lou Zong for?"

"I heard that it seems to be because of a woman named Su Yingying......"

"Exactly!" Lan Shixun continued to nod, "And this Su Yingying is the woman that the two brothers of the Xie family like together, when Su Yingying was rescued by the eldest son of the Xie family, Xie Feng, from Lou Zong, she has been living in seclusion in Wenyang City, and Su Yingying also met Xie Yun, the second son of the Xie family, in Wenyang City. ”

"Dad, what does this matter have to do with what you said about the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches?"

"Don't worry, Chen'er, it's going to be related soon!" Lan Shixun couldn't help but have a cold sneer on his face when he said this, "Then have you ever known what the identity of this so-called Wenyang City Xie family used to be?"

Lan Chen shook his head suspiciously, signaling that he didn't know.

"The Xie family originally had three brothers, the eldest Xie Yang, the eldest Xie Chun, and the third Xie Zhen, they were originally Han Xiao's confidants, and the three brothers were in charge of the 50,000 army of the Xie Zi Battalion!" Lan Shixun recalled the past unhurriedly, "I don't hide it from you for my father, when I was in the Zhuo Wolf Grassland, it was my father who deliberately abandoned Xie Ziying, and saw that they were deeply surrounded by the beast army, and finally they were eaten away. And the reason why his father did this was actually just to weaken Han Xiao's prestige and power. ”

"This ......"

"Do you know why his father was able to justifiably force Xie Ziying to a dead end, and in the end, he could not be implicated in the slightest?" Lan Shixun sneered again, "It's because one of their three brothers is an internal ghost!"

"What?" As soon as Lan Shixun said this, Lan Chen couldn't help but grow his mouth in surprise.

"It's Xie Yang, the boss of the Xie family! This person is full of greed, and he does not hesitate to betray Han Xiao, his brother, and even the 50,000 lives of Xie Ziying for his own interests!" Lan Shixun's tone was full of disdain, "My father promised to promise him many benefits, including the right to dominate one side and enough wealth for him to extravagant for ten lifetimes! And for this, Xie Yang betrayed his conscience! Even later, Xie Chun, the eldest son of the Xie family, was beaten to death by someone I sent to kill him for making trouble, and he could also turn a deaf ear!"

"Hmph, such a person is simply a brute!" Lan Chen scolded angrily.

"Xie Yang persuaded Xie Zhen, and then they wrote a letter of resignation to Han Xiao, and then went to Wenyang City with gold, silver and jewelry to be their overlord!" Lan Shixun continued, "But Lu Yifan arrived in Wenyang City by mistake, and because of Su Yingying's matter, he had a conflict with Lou Zong, and instead became friends with the Xie family! I expected that Xie Zhen was reckless, and he would definitely inform Han Ling'er of this time, and Han Ling'er would definitely tell Han Xiao about this matter.

"And then?" Lan Chen asked impatiently.

"Then there's the most interesting part!" Lan Shixun said with a sneer, "Everything was as my father expected, and then Han Xiao really knew about it, he wrote to the emperor to condemn me, but the emperor ignored the matter!

"Why?"

"Because the Emperor wants to use me to contain Han Xiao!" Lan Shixun replied, "Compared to the Emperor's own authority, the 50,000 horses in Xie Ziying's camp are nothing at all! What's more, everything is just Xie Zhen's empty words, and there is no real evidence, so the Emperor will naturally be happy to push the boat and let me go!"

Hearing Lan Shixun's words, Lan Chen nodded with shocked eyes, if Lan Shixun hadn't told him these things, he was afraid that he would never have thought of them in his life, after thinking for a while, Lan Chen continued to ask: "Then what does all this have to do with Lou Zong and Xuanzong?"

"This is going to happen!" Lan Shixun nodded and said, "At first, Lou Zong's celebration with Lu Yifan didn't attract much attention, but later Lou Zong went too far and slaughtered Wenyang City, and the emperor was furious because of this. You know that the Emperor and the Sect Master have always fought openly and secretly, and the Emperor Yan Chong is an old fox, of course he knows who the master behind the Lou Sect is, so he designed a series of schemes with Lu Yifan's hands, and then destroyed the Lou Sect and regained the power of the Southwest!"

"According to my father's meaning, isn't Lou Zong the cicada?"

"Actually, that cicada is Lu Yifan, the Emperor Ling used him as bait to deliberately intensify the conflict with Lou Zong, but secretly ordered Han Xiao to hand over the Protector Token to Han Ling'er, so that Lu Yifan could smoothly mobilize the power of the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest! This trick is a conspiracy for the Emperor to perform!" Lan Shixun continued, "At the same time, the Emperor also secretly found the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce and asked the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce to send a master to assassinate Lou Yi, this is a conspiracy carried out by the Emperor!" And in this series of yin and yang schemes, Lu Yifan is the cicada, and Lou Zong has become the praying mantis that catches cicadas, and the emperor has become the yellow finch after the praying mantis!"

"I seem to understand!" Lan Chen nodded as if he didn't understand, but soon he frowned and hurriedly asked, "But since the Emperor has already used Han Xiao, why did he send his father to lead troops to kill him?"

"This is the genius of Emperor Yan Chong!" Lan Shixun said with a smile, "I have told you just now, although Emperor Ling Huang has let go of his father on the surface after knowing about Xie Ziying, he actually has a trace of jealousy of me in his heart!"

"Jealous?"

"That's right!" Lan Shixun continued, "It's not that the Emperor is jealous of me killing Xie Ziying, but that I am afraid that I will secretly collude with his biggest enemy, the Sacred Domain Sect Leader Dongfang Su!"

"So the Emperor sent his father to kill Lou Zong, his real intention was to test whether his father had colluded with Dongfang Su?" Lan Chen suddenly said, "Even if there was no collusion before, after Dad led the troops to destroy Lou Zong, Dad would be tantamount to forming a feud with Dongfang Su, which means that he can't collude together in the future!

"Yes, I always knew that Yan Chong was not an easy person to deal with!" Lan Shixun nodded with satisfaction.

"Wait a minute!" Lan Chen's eyes moved suddenly, and then he changed his words, "Dad just said that the emperor is a yellow finch, but he also said that there is a negligent net after the yellow finch, so who set up this net?"

"Haha...... After setting up the Yellow Sparrow, the person who set up this net is naturally his father and the leader of the Eastern Sect!" Lan Shixun laughed proudly, "The Emperor thinks that Lu Yifan, Lou Zong, Xuanzong, Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, Lu Haoqian, Han Xiao, and his father have all become playthings in his palm, and he thinks that he is in control of the overall situation, but he never imagined that we had compiled a bigger game behind him, and the Emperor himself has quietly become a chess piece in our game of chess!"

"Dad means that the destruction of Lou Sect was designed by you and the Eastern Sect Leader before?" Lan Chen exclaimed incredulously, "And everything that appeared in the middle of the way, including the appearance of a mysterious Xuanzong master who came forward to help Lou Zong, all of this was a scene that you deliberately arranged?"

"Of course, if you don't act realistically, how can this old fox really believe in me?" Lan Shixun nodded nondeniably in acknowledgement.

"This ......" Lan Chen was shocked this time, only to see him muttering vigorously in surprise, "The Emperor Ling has set up a puzzle for Lou Zong, and Dad and Xuanzong were originally people in this bureau, but at the same time, they also set up a bigger game for the Emperor Ling, so that the Emperor Ling thinks that he controls you, but in fact he is the one who is being played by you......!

"That's right, and among them, whether it's Lou Zong or Lu Yifan, they are all secretly designing one puzzle after another in it, trying to confuse each other!" Lan Shixun nodded and said, "In fact, in the final analysis, Lou Zong and Lu Yifan are the most pitiful people in this game!"

"This ...... It's unimaginable......" Lan Chen was still muttering to himself, "In order to win the trust of the Emperor, Father and the Eastern Sect Master did not hesitate to destroy the entire Lou Sect ......"

"This is exactly what Dad wants to tell you!" Lan Shixun's expression finally became serious, "Many times if you want to do great things, you must learn to do whatever it takes! Don't say that you are an enemy, even if you are a friend, you are your right-hand man, even if you are your confidant and best friend, you must not show mercy when it is his turn to sacrifice! Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve great things in the end! And all this seems complicated and huge, but in fact, victory or defeat is only between lightning and flint, maybe a trivial negligence can ruin all the previous efforts!"

Lan Chen listened to Lan Shixun's teachings, and was completely speechless with shock, so he could only nod in a trance.

"The reason why my father wants to win the trust of the emperor is actually to prepare for the complete defeat of Han Xiao in the future!" Lan Shixun said faintly, "Chen'er, you must always remember that the strong have their own strong hands, and there is a mountain high!" The more you become a big deal, the more you will encounter real tough opponents, and to defeat these opponents, it is by no means a matter of one or two plots, or three or five months can be achieved, in order to be able to seize the throne of the emperor, in order to eradicate the biggest obstacle Han Xiao and Lu Haoqian have been planning for more than ten years, and among them, you and I don't know how many conspiracies and tricks have been played by each other!

After listening to Lan Shixun's words, Lan Chen raised his head suddenly, and his complicated eyes flashed with a sudden gleam. After staring at Lan Shixun for a long time, Fang slowly opened his mouth and said, "Regarding Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect, my father's choice is right......"

......
