Chapter 772: Counting is Counting
"My lord, most of the people who came to Xiangyun Business today are Miao people, and they have been investigated by their humble duties, and they are indeed elders of various ethnic groups, and they have not found any suspicious people."
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Lu Hanjiang sighed twice and said playfully: "The fish don't bite the hook." β
The mastermind behind the scenes this time is cautious enough, but Lu Hanjiang also has enough patience to spend with him, because he concludes that the other party will inevitably come.
The reason is also very simple, that strange Taoist priest made great efforts to destroy the Lingyue Clan, and he didn't even let go of anyone, and now the most important person, the Holy Maiden Caiwei, is still alive, and it is impossible for the other party to turn a blind eye.
Of course, if it's just a boring murderer, then think he's fighting the air.
Lu Hanjiang's side is stable and can afford it, but Caiwei's side is a little difficult.
The Miao people who came in recent days made her very distressed to deal with, the Lingyue Clan was destroyed, Cai Wei, the holy woman, seemed to have become a rootless Ping, and the status of the Great Elder was also in jeopardy, but these were all problems from the perspective of court politicians.
In fact, the simplicity of these Miao people is extraordinary, not only did they not take the opportunity to reverie about Cai Wei's position as a saint, but they even did not think about the position of the great elder that the other party made an exception.
Guy was disturbed by the miasma at the beginning, the Lingyue clan stepped forward, and the former Great Elder and the Holy Maiden Caiwei both made great contributions, and it can be said that it was their efforts that saved Miao Jiang from a catastrophe.
These days, the most important thing these Miao people have said to Cai Wei is to ask her to return to Miao Di immediately to preside over the overall situation.
Although the Lingyue Clan has been destroyed, the status of the Holy Maiden is still as stable as Mount Tai, and countless Miao people are still willing to let Cai Wei lead the Miao Land, which makes Lu Hanjiang quite surprised.
"Miss Caiwei's prestige has surpassed that of the former Great Elder, congratulations." Lu Hanjiang replaced wine with tea and raised a glass to congratulate.
Cai Wei smiled bitterly: "Childe said that it was funny, Cai Wei just occupied the legacy of her predecessors." β
"Miss Caiwei doesn't have to be humble, you are now deeply loved by the Miao people, these hearts may not be worth mentioning for you, but for others, they are a treasure that cannot be sought, and I hope that the girl will be more careful in this regard." Lu Hanjiang admonished.
This is definitely a good word, Lu Hanjiang's advice to Cai Wei is indeed out of good intentions, after all, for him, instead of changing a careerist to mess up Miao Jiang, which has been regarded as the rear of Jinyiwei, it is better to let Cai Wei continue to lead the Miao people, at least without him worrying.
"Lu Gongzi's words, Cai Wei remembered."
After Cai Wei hugged her fists and was taught, her eyebrows once again showed a look of worry: "There is one more thing, why does Childe think that the news has been released for many days, and those people have not moved?" But Cai Wei thinks too highly of herself? β
Cai Wei couldn't help muttering, she had already spread the news that she was still alive, and taking the opportunity to meet with the Miao elders, the news that she, the holy woman, was still safe, spread all over Miao Jiang almost immediately.
According to her estimate, since the other party was so ruthless to the Lingyue Clan, he naturally wouldn't watch her live well, but after all these days, there was still no rumor.
"Miss Caiwei is a little restless, but it's not a way to keep consuming like this," Lu Hanjiang thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, maybe if the elders of various clans say something, the girl can try to adopt one or two." β
Cai Wei was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking about it carefully, she understood what Lu Hanjiang meant, and she said in a condensed voice: "What does Lu Gongzi mean, let Cai Wei plan and pretend to show flaws, so as to attract the person in the dark to show up?" β
"Exactly." Lu Hanjiang said.
Cai Wei thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Master Lu, this plan is feasible, I will go and discuss with the elders." β
"Ah, Miss Caiwei, wait a minute, there is one more thing I need to explain to you."
Lu Hanjiang stopped Cai Wei, coughed, and then said: "Presumably Miss Cai Wei has also heard that the 'Moon Leaving the Wind' of the Carefree Sect has something to do with the Imperial Court Jinyiwei, and I confessed to the girl here that there is indeed such a thing." β
Cai Wei paused, and said calmly: "The various clans in Miao Jiang are not sects in the rivers and lakes. Even if it is an officer and soldier of the imperial court, there will not be much difference in the eyes of us, and Lu Gongzi does not have to worry. β
Lu Hanjiang praised: "Miss Caiwei understands everything, it is my villain's heart, and I talked to the girl about this because I designed to ambush the people in the dark this time, and I plan to borrow the power of the imperial court." β
"Master Lu rest assured, Cai Wei will explain this matter to the elders."
After Cai Wei finished speaking, she suddenly said with a straight face: "It's just that Cai Wei also has a word to explain to Gongzi in advance, Gongzi has great kindness to me and to Miao Land, Cai Wei is in the position of a saint, but she doesn't dare to make decisions for the Miao people of the hundred tribes without authorizationββ"
The holy woman took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Gongzi is very gracious, if he asks for something in the future, Cai Wei will definitely go to the soup to repay him, but if Gongzi wants to use this kindness to coerce the people of Miao Di to drive the court, Cai Wei will never agree." β
Lu Hanjiang said with a smile: "The girl loves and hates clearly, and I admire it very much, the great elder chose the girl to lead Miao Jiang, and it is really a discerning eye, and please rest assured that Miss Caiwei has no such intentions." β
"Thank you, Childe, this is Cai Wei's rudeness, but after all, the stakes are very high, and Cai Wei can't help but say it."
After Cai Wei said that, she offered to leave, and she was going to discuss with the Miao elders about luring the snake out of the hole.
Lu Hanjiang naturally agreed, and after sending the other party away, he called Cui Yixiao and other Jinyi guards to arrange manpower.
After listening to Lu Hanjiang's words, everyone had no objections to the plan, and some arguments only existed on the specific implementation.
Cui Yixiao said worriedly: "My lord, the status of the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang is respected, and now she is deeply popular, I am afraid that it will become a big disaster in the future, and I have to prevent it." β
Everyone can see that Cai Wei has won the hearts of the people, although the saints of the past generations are almost the same, the saints of this generation are obviously better than their predecessors.
And more importantly, Cai Wei herself is also extremely good, not only outstanding in martial arts, although she has few scheming, but she has always been very sober on the issue of right and wrong, and she has never lost her heart because of power in a high position.
Such a person is worthy of admiration, but for Jinyiwei, the emergence of such an excellent leader in Miaojiang is not entirely a good thing.
Cui Yixiao's words seemed to make Lu Hanjiang take precautions, and the latter did not say anything after hearing this, but glanced down at him, as if signaling him to continue.
"Your Excellency."
Cui Yixiao sorted out his words, and said in a deep voice: "The Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang is pure-hearted, she regards adults as friends, and with this friendship, we can't waste it in vain, and I mean to be humble, in order to prevent trouble, I might as well remove some of those Miao elders."
Cui Yixiao's original idea was actually to directly kill this saintess, and then change to a good control position, which is also the habitual operation of Jinyiwei.
Although Cai Wei is almost obedient to Lu Hanjiang in some aspects, this person's position is not stable after all, because she always puts the people of Miao Jiang first, and it is inevitable that she will not conflict with Jinyiwei in the future.
However, Cui Yixiao couldn't figure out Cai Wei's status in Lu Hanjiang's heart, mainly because their attitude towards adults was too deceptive.
Even if it is a mortal enemy who is going to stab the knife in the next second, Lord Lu can also giggle with the other party, so Cui Yixiao really doesn't know how important Cai Wei, the holy woman, is in the hearts of adults.
After thinking about it, he chose to be steady, and instead of revealing his true thoughts and plates, he retreated to the next best thing, made a statement to the adults, killed the Miao elders, cut off the wings of the saint, and finally achieved the goal of weakening the opponent's forces.
Regarding Cui Yixiao's idea, Lu Hanjiang did not hesitate for long before choosing to agree.
It's just that his focus is different from the other party, he doesn't care how much power Cai Wei will get, and now, his interest in this saint woman herself has far exceeded the meaning behind the existence of the saint.
The fact that the Holy Spirit Gu worm was parasitic on Cai Wei made Lu Hanjiang's interest greatly increased, and he even had a whim, and asked someone to send the lamp found in Xu Fu's treasure from the capital.
Lu Hanjiang didn't care about the effect of the immortal secret treasure after it was gathered, he was now more curious about the usefulness of these seven things when they were dispersed, and the changes that had taken place in the Holy Spirit Gu worm made him seem to see the expandability of these secret treasures.
The words were divided into two ends, while Cai Wei and Lu Hanjiang were playing cards, the three demons in the secret finally couldn't hold it back.
After many days of investigation, they were almost sure that the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang was still alive, so under the advice of Ke Hatian and Monk Lingyu, the three of them prepared to ambush on the way to the funeral of the Lingyue Clan of Cai Wei.
On this day, the sky was cloudy and cold, the light rain was misty, and the sad atmosphere seemed to be contagious, which made the entire Bishui City dyed with the color of crying.
The Holy Maiden Caiwei and the elders of the various tribes in Miao Jiang set out from the city together to the Lingyue Clan, which was already empty, to hold a funeral for the dead compatriots.
The guests sent by the same group reached thousands of people, most of them were the Han people of the Central Plains who lived in Bishui City, in order to express their condolences for the tragedy of the Lingyue clan, they stood in front of the door and stood white, and for a while, the city was full of vegetarians.
Due to the customs of the Miao people, the Han people who saw them off stopped outside the city, and a Miao team of hundreds of people continued to escort the saint to the Lingyue tribe.
Halfway through, there were signs of increasing rain, and the Holy Maiden Caiwei asked everyone to speed up their pace, and on the way forward, Elder Yimiaoren suddenly changed his eyes, and he waved his hand violently and slapped a palm at the bush on the side.
The palm force pierced the rain curtain, causing the bushes to be torn apart, and three figures flashed out from under the fallen leaves.
"There are assassins! Protect the Holy Maiden! β
