Chen Jianping asked in surprise: "I can't think of any other reason?"

Weng Haiming nodded and said, "Yes, this reason is that the current imperial court is already on the verge of collapse!"

Although Chen Jianping was a little shocked when he heard this, he was not very shocked, because people in the rivers and lakes have always been very indifferent to the affairs of the temple, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is not so much that they do not pay attention to the change of imperial power, but that they don't even know who the current imperial ruler is.

Weng Haiming's reaction to Chen Jianping was not surprising, he naturally knew the temperament of these people in the rivers and lakes, and he continued: "The imperial court is actually ready to send troops to exterminate you!"

This time, it was finally Chen Jianping's turn to be shocked, and he looked at Weng Haiming incredulously.

Weng Haiming nodded and said: "Yes, the 350,000 army, first seal the valley pass and the mouth of the lower reaches of the Lingjiang River, and then start from the Central Plains, and after leveling the Central Plains in one fell swoop, then divide the troops to the north and south, and then exterminate the entire martial arts!"

Chen Jianping calmed down his shock, pointed to a few sacks next to him, made a gesture of please, and said, "Mr. Weng, why don't we sit down and talk slowly." ”

Weng Haiming nodded, and except for Jiang Qichen, who was still standing there stunned, several people sat down one after another.

Weng Haiming said: "Actually, from the moment you returned to the Central Plains with the jade book and the red smoke furnace magic weapon, the imperial court had already made all the preparations, and it was about to send troops, but at this moment, two things suddenly happened. ”

Chen Jianping hurriedly asked, "Those two things?"

Weng Haiming said: "The first thing is that it was started by the Duke of Wan, after the disaster of the Tiger Power Evil Beast, he suddenly took the fragment I said to the emperor and presented it to the emperor, which made the court realize that the matter was far from being as simple as a jade book and a red smoke furnace magic weapon. ”

Saying this, Weng Haiming looked at Chen Jianping, and then said: "This second thing is that Prince Dan Yu is plotting to rebel, and his original plan is to use the opportunity of the imperial court to exterminate the martial arts to seize power!"

When Wu Datong heard this, he said, "You mean that the emperor's brother wants to oppose him?"

Weng Haiming said impatiently: "This is natural, of course the prince is the emperor's brother. ”

Chen Jianping thought for a while and asked, "In other words, the imperial court's current strategy towards martial arts has changed, from the original extermination to use?"

Weng Haiming smiled and said: "To be precise, what the imperial court is thinking about at the moment is how to exterminate you, but the development of the situation does not allow him to make a big move at all, and compared to the trend of undercurrents surging in your martial arts, the whole world is afraid that it will also fall into a war!"

Chen Jianping took a deep breath and said, "Let me guess, the imperial court is divided into two factions at the moment, the emperor's faction and the Jade Prince's faction, and you, Weng Haiming, are naturally the Jade Prince's faction, as for the group of people who were poisoned in the cabin, they are the emperor's faction, isn't that the case?"

Weng Haiming nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to talk to smart people, you guessed right, it's true!"

Chen Jianping smiled and said, "Okay, the introduction of the background in the early stage has been completed, shouldn't you also tell me your true purpose?"

Weng Haiming smiled slightly and said, "Didn't Master Chen guess one or two?"

Chen Jianping, Wu Datong, and Nalan Yue glanced at each other, smiled slightly, and said, "Wouldn't it be happier and more accurate for you to say it directly?"

Weng Haiming breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Actually, it's very simple, the power of the emperor and the jade prince is roughly equal, and a big war is inevitable, and neither side is sure to defeat the other, so the power of the jade book and the red smoke furnace magic weapon has become the power that both sides are willing to get." ”

Chen Jianping nodded and said: "No wonder the imperial court does not dare to act rashly, if the imperial court is careless and has a conflict with Wulin, Prince Yu will take advantage of the weakness to enter, and the imperial court may be destroyed." ”

Weng Haiming nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I said that although our goals are different, our current interests are the same, because we have a common enemy." ”

Chen Jianping smiled and said: "So, you blended into the group of people in the imperial court and took the opportunity to get rid of them, this is really a trick, which not only reduces the chance of the imperial court group to get the jade book and the red smoke furnace magic weapon, but also makes my connection with the imperial court deeper, it can really be described as killing two birds with one stone!"

Weng Haiming said noncommittally: "I hope you can know, not only you, but in fact, the entire martial arts is like this, and now the Jade Lord has become a big problem for the imperial court, so the imperial court has no time to take care of the Central Plains martial arts, but once the Jade Lord is destroyed, then the next one to follow in his footsteps is probably the world's martial arts.

Chen Jianping said vigilantly: "We are all reckless men in the rivers and lakes, and we have no intention of getting involved in the temple dispute......

Before Chen Jianping could finish speaking, Weng Haiming hurriedly said: "This is not up to you, or not to you, once the army of the Jade Lord and the army of the imperial court start a war, the Central Plains martial arts and even the world's martial arts will be involved, this is not something you can control!"

Chen Jianping said in a deep voice: "If I understand correctly, do you mean that you want us to stand on the side of the Jade Lord and fight against the imperial court together?"

Weng Haiming said: "Exactly, right now, the jade book and the red smoke furnace magic weapon are in the Central Plains, and the matter of placing and preserving the jade book and the red smoke furnace is also promoted by the head of Chen, you can be said to be a master of your word in the Central Plains, as long as the jade prince gets the red smoke furnace magic weapon, the imperial army will be defeated!"

When Chen Jianping heard this, he was first shocked, he really realized that Weng Haiming's words were not wrong, whether it was himself or the world's martial arts, maybe he would really inevitably be involved in this melee.

Looking at Chen Jianping, who was hesitant, Weng Haiming hurriedly said: "Master Chen, what else do you have to hesitate, the imperial court is not in the jade book and the red smoke furnace at all, because they have greater ambitions, the 'thing' recorded in the secret file of the Wan Gong Gong should be ten times more terrible than the red smoke furnace magic weapon, once the imperial court succeeds, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"Needless to say, the Jade Prince's hundreds of thousands of troops will be wiped out, and the entire martial arts will also be destroyed, and when the time comes, the jade will be burned, Master Chen, you don't think about the world's martial arts, don't you think about yourself?"

Chen Jianping laughed and said, "Mr. Weng, maybe what you said is very reasonable, but you have ignored one of our major concerns!"

Weng Haiming was surprised: "What...... What?"

Chen Jianping said in a low voice: "The imperial court wants to exterminate our nature, but who can guarantee that after the Jade Lord defeats the imperial court, he will not turn his head and exterminate us?"

Weng Haiming was speechless for a while, and after a while, he said firmly: "Today's emperor is mediocre, favors eunuchs, the benevolent prince of the Jade King, and has the ambition to help the society, how can he lose his trust in the world, such concerns are completely unnecessary!"

Chen Jianping sighed and said, "Mr. Weng, let's meet in Pingshui, if we can match each other, I want to ask you, do you believe what you said?"

Wu Datong said: "Yes, I, Wu Datong, have been dealing with your court for so many years, and I still don't know your style?

Weng Haiming lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head sharply, and said: "Master Chen, you have to make a choice, do you still fantasize about staying out of the matter at this moment? I might as well tell you, according to the report of my secret agent in the palace, Gonggong Wan has left the capital and secretly went to southern Xinjiang, even if the imperial court does not do anything about martial arts, the future martial arts will definitely be a bloody storm!"

Nalan Yue said angrily: "You still have the face to say, in the final analysis, it's not because you guys have always been a matter of rivers and lakes, and his emperor's brother Xiao Wall is not involved in us!"

Weng Haiming hurriedly said: "So far, what's the use of saying this, the whole world is not the king's land, the reason why Wulin can do things in the rivers and lakes is not because of the acquiescence of the imperial court, and canceling this acquiescence is not a matter of a word from the imperial court?"

Hearing this, Chen Jianping sighed tastelessly, slowly stood up, and said: "Mr. Weng, no matter what, Chen has to thank you for today's conversation, as for the people who were poisoned in the cabin, Chen's black pot is worth it, I have a good impression of you, and I don't have any bad feelings about the Jade Lord you said, I can promise you one thing about this." ”
