Chapter 206: On the way

The Qianlong Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty was originally the sharpest knife given to Meng Feiran by the emperor to protect and help Lu Mengli ascend the throne and become emperor.

The original Qianlong Wei has always been loyal to Lu Mengli, the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because of the existence of Meng Feiran, and therefore solved many things for the Great Zhou Dynasty that could not be solved on the surface, and made great contributions to Lu Mengli's accession to the throne as emperor and the stabilization of the court.

But it is precisely because the power of the Qianlong Guard in the shadows is getting bigger and bigger, and the status is also rising, so in the great Zhou Dynasty, the people of the Qianlong Guard gradually become only obeying the orders of those who are stronger than them.

And this person is none other than Meng Feiran.

It's just that although Meng Feiran was able to embark on the path of cultivation with the help of the emperor, he was unable to make himself go further because of his limited talent, so he couldn't survive a hundred years like other monks or Lu Mengli, and finally died within a hundred years after Lu Mengli became emperor.

Meng Feiran's status in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not simple.

Since the day when the first emperor handed over Lu Mengli, the empress who had not yet grown up, to him to take care of, he was already an existence above 10,000 people under one person in the entire dynasty, and it can be said that he was nine thousand years old in the true sense.

Not to mention that he and Empress Lu Mengli grew up together, and the relationship between the two is as intimate as a biological brother and sister.

Even if Lu Mengli really sat on the throne of the emperor, he still regarded Meng Feiran as his brother, and even never covered up all the secrets of the court, so that Meng Feiran could know all the secrets of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and even part of the power that only belonged to the emperor was handed over to him by Lu Mengli.

Therefore, Meng Feiran was sometimes even more majestic than Lu Mengli, and Qianlong Wei was therefore more willing to obey his orders.

In addition, during the period when Meng Feiran was in control of the Hidden Dragon Guard, the Hidden Dragon Guard had to change its members because of the constant execution of various dangerous tasks.

So when Meng Feiran, who had no talent and could not break through to the highest cultivation realm, died, the Qianlong Guard, who had almost all been changed several times, no longer had such a transcendent figure in the court suppressing them on the bright side.

In this way, since Lu Mengli herself did not have much experience in controlling the Hidden Dragon Guard, even if she did have a talent for cultivation, she still couldn't completely control the Hidden Dragon Guard in her own hands during the period after Meng Feiran's death.

On the contrary, she realized that there had always been people in the Qianlong Guard, who had been plotting against her, and even tried to violate her, the empress of the Great Zhou.

Since discovering this secret, Lu Mengli, who was worried that one day he would not be able to keep the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, began to secretly cultivate forces that were only loyal to himself, although the progress was slow but it was effective.

But the forces that have just been cultivated can't be compared with the Qianlong Guard, which has taken root in the Great Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years.

That's why Lu Mengli thought about cooperating with other trusted forces and using the knife of the outside world to eradicate the intertwined Hidden Dragon Guard.

At the same time, you can also take this opportunity to deter those ministers of the DPRK and China who are connected with Qianlong Wei and other forces in the outside world.

Therefore, Lu Mengli secretly investigated a lot of external forces, and after weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, she finally chose to cooperate with the Jin family in the Northern Regions.

And the reason why the Jin family in the Northern Regions was chosen is because in the huge Northern Regions, the Jin family now controlled by Jin Sanliang has the most prominent reputation, and since Jin Sanliang took the throne, there has never been any rumors about the Jin family, but more and more people talk about the Jin family and say that the Jin family is a rare and kind family.

In addition, the Jin family itself is strong, and it has also become the backer of the Ice and Snow Heavenly Sect.

You must know that the Ice and Snow Heavenly Sect is the most powerful sect in the Northern Regions, but it still depends on the face of the Jin family.

If the Jin family is willing to make a move, then no matter how troublesome things are, they can be solved.

came back to his senses and thought that although the Jin family did not directly help this time, he also invited a master who had a good relationship with the third son of the Jin family.

Sitting in the car, Lu Mengli, whose expression had returned to normal, stopped telling herself, and instead began to observe Cao Chuan, Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan, who were sitting on the other side.

Maybe it was because her previous attention was on Jin Sanliang and Cao Chuan, so that she only noticed the girl who took the initiative to stop Cao Chuan before, and the cold woman who seemed to be not interested in anything.

As soon as she turned her gaze, Lu Mengli couldn't help but gasp.

Not only because Wen Jinghao's quiet appearance was like a fairy from the sky under the sunlight outside the car curtain, but also because she found that she couldn't see through the cultivation realm of Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan.

Although she had already known that Cao Chuan was the strength of the Four Heavens of the Yuan God Realm, she didn't know the strength of Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan.

Now that she found that there was a deeper aura on the other party's body than Cao Chuan, Lu Mengli turned from confused to excited.

"I didn't expect to be able to invite back three powerhouses with strength above the Yuan God Realm!"

"Hidden Dragonguard... I'm going to wipe you all out this time! ”

Lu Mengli, who didn't say what was in her heart and suppressed her inner excitement, was afraid that it would be rude for her to look at the other party like this, so she had to blush and quickly look away.

She didn't know that Cao Chuan and the others had actually been observing her all along.

It's just that Wen Jinghao is actually talking to Yu Qinglan in a voice, while Cao Chuan is discussing cultivation issues with Mu Qingqiu in the depths of the sea of knowledge.

Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan already know each other, although the two do not deal with each other on the surface, but the relationship in private is not bad.

Not to mention that the two of them were each recognized by Chaos Yin Yang and Immortal Phoenix Flame, and with Cao Chuan present, the two girls naturally turned their attention to Lu Mengli.

Just a glance.

Yu Qinglan's naughty voice sounded in the sea of warm and good knowledge, and said: "Jing good saint, I think the appearance of this empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also the beauty of the country, and the country is overwhelmed, you said that if she personally went out to seduce the little brother, would the little brother be tempted to surrender?" ”

"Yu Qinglan! Can you be serious! ”

Wen Jinghao, who had always known that Yu Qinglan's personality was out of character, and he was like a fox, and immediately scolded: "If you are so unserious again, I will tell Cao Chuan to know, and let him throw away your fox spirit!" ”

"Really?"

Yu Qinglan glanced at Wen Jinghao, who was still expressionless on his face, with his indifferent gaze, but felt a little surprised, and then immediately responded: "That's a pity, my little brother and I are recognized by Chaos Yin and Yang, which means that the two of us are destined to fate, so even if I take the initiative to leave, I can't escape from my little brother's Five Finger Mountain." ”

"So you can rest assured that you are a good saint."

"I'll always be by your side and him, hehehehe..."

Wen Jinghao, who thought that he couldn't play with Yu Qinglan, immediately closed his eyes and began to close his eyes to recuperate, no longer caring about Yu Qinglan who couldn't stop once he played with his heart.

And Yu Qinglan, who saw that Wen Jing was so reluctant to play with him anymore, turned his attention to Lu Mengli.

As the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although Lu Mengli is a woman, she has a heroic posture that is not weaker than that of men.

The resolute eyes and the straight back make people ignore her identity.

This also made Yu Qinglan curious.

So he licked his lips, Yu Qinglan turned into a wisp of green smoke, and then sat down next to Lu Mengli.

At this time, Cao Chuan was still discussing cultivation with Mu Qingqiu, but Wen Jinghao was closing his eyes and recuperating.

Seeing that no one was disturbing him, Yu Qinglan immediately reached out and pinched Lu Mengli's face.

After hearing Lu Mengli's slight shout, he was even more playful, and immediately reached out and grabbed Lu Mengli's shoulder, turning it around and facing him.

Then he looked at the other party's suddenly reddened cheeks, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that our Empress of the Great Zhou is still an innocent girl, but this is not good." ”

"As an empress, you must have the majesty of an empress, otherwise if others see you as a little girl, I am afraid that no one will follow the holy decree you promulgated, and you may even be bullied in front of you."

"So... Why don't you let me help you? ”

"Help me? Help, help me what? ”

Lu Mengli has never been treated like this, not only did she blush, but even her whole person began to become weak.

And Yu Qinglan took it into his arms, and then stroked her face while saying what he wanted to say in a voice transmission way.

Unexpectedly, Lu Mengli's face turned even redder.

"Qinglan, what are you doing?"

Suddenly.

Cao Chuan, who happened to discuss the cultivation matter with Mu Qingqiu, saw that Yu Qinglan seemed to be talking to Lu Mengli, so he said: "We're here to help, don't you be so naughty, why don't you let go of the people quickly?" ”

Cao Chuan, who had already guessed what Yu Qinglan was doing, had no choice but to quickly urge Yu Qinglan to let go of Lu Mengli, who was already red all over at this time.

"Okay..."

Yu Qinglan just likes to play around, and now that Cao Chuan has spoken, he naturally let go of his hand, and then returned to Cao Chuan and sat down.

At this time, Lu Mengli finally came back to her senses with a heavy breath, and the flush on her face began to slowly dissipate.

But this also made her no longer as nervous as before, but a lot closer to Cao Chuan and others.

So on the way back to the national capital, Lu Mengli no longer mentioned the matter of Qianlong Wei, but told the story between herself and Meng Feiran.

"Brother Feiran was met on the street of a small town."

"At that time, Brother Feiran was just a child like me, but Brother Feiran was wearing tattered and smelly clothes, and he had no money to eat, so he could only sit on the side of the street like those beggars and beg for money from passers-by, but those bad people kept bullying him when they saw that my brother was still young, so that my brother was all wounded, and he couldn't eat or dress warmly every day."

"But every time I see my brother, I can see in his eyes the hope for the future and the confidence that is different from others."

"That's why I asked my father to bring my brother back to the palace."

Speaking of Meng Feiran, the expression on Lu Mengli's face became gentle, and a trace of sadness flashed in the depths of her slightly squinted eyes.

She continued: "My brother did not disappoint my father, since he returned to the palace with me, he began to show extraordinary talent, although he could not achieve anything in cultivation, but my father still kept him by my side, specially teaching me to read and write, like a teacher. ”

"Later, the Great Zhou Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, and it was difficult for his father to maneuver in the whirlpool alone, so late one night, when there was a thunderstorm that day, Lu Sanyuan led the rebels to rebel in the palace to rebel, and even seriously injured his father, and chased me to kill me."

"At that time, my father handed over the Qianlong Wei to Brother Feiran by secret decree before his death, and then it was Brother Feiran who led the Qianlong Guard to kill Lu Sanyuan and the rebellious soldiers who were chasing him, and also led me out of the encirclement, and finally allowed me to sit on the throne and ascend the throne as emperor."

Cao Chuan, Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan listened very carefully.

After all, Meng Feiran's story is indeed attractive enough.

It's just a pity that such an outstanding person as Meng Feiran actually didn't know anything about cultivation, and it was only by relying on the pill of the former emperor that he temporarily became a cultivator of the Divine Hidden Realm from an ordinary person.

And after solving Lu Sanyuan's trouble, Meng Feiran, who had no cultivation talent, no longer made an inch of progress in his cultivation realm, and everything began to be handled by Qianlong Wei.

Although Meng Feiran could rely on his own ingenuity and great wisdom to command the Qianlong Guard to perform every task of his own, it did indeed bury a hidden danger for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This hidden danger can be said to be big or small.

When Meng Feiran was still alive, because of the former emperor Yu Wei, and Meng Feiran himself was well-organized, even if the Qianlong Guard had been changing members, he had always been extremely loyal to Meng Feiran, and all orders could be carried out well.

But as Meng Feiran began to age gradually over time, until after his death.

Without Meng Feiran's restraint, the Qianlong Guard immediately became the most difficult trouble for the Great Zhou Dynasty to solve at present.

Because Qianlong Wei has always been loyal to not Lu Mengli at all, but Meng Feiran.

Now that Meng Feiran is dead, some people in the Qianlong Guard want to snatch the emperor's throne and become the emperor themselves.

For Lu Mengli's orders, he only occasionally obeyed them.

Even if Lu Mengli has the tiger talisman left by Meng Feiran in his hand.

This is the hidden danger left by Meng Feiran at the beginning.

If this hidden danger can be solved, or if he can directly control the Hidden Dragon Guard, then inside the palace, Lu Mengli will be able to truly cover the sky with one hand.

It can also be more handy to deal with troubles outside the court.

"So that's what we're going to do next."

After Cao Chuan listened to Lu Mengli's story, he immediately began to think about his plan in his heart after arriving at the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And Lu Mengli secretly wiped her tears.

I was also thinking about the next plan.

Now that she has decided to completely clean up the Hidden Dragon Guard, she must be sure to hit with one blow and not leave any more trouble.
