C269 The Alliance of the Four Masters of Hegemony Started a Conspiracy
Qing Yun was lying in bed with mixed feelings, and before he knew the truth, he always wanted to solve this mystery. But now that it was solved, his heart ached even more. Because he couldn't even save Xiner's parents, it let him know how much pain Xiner, a girl, suffered. She had lived half of her life in conspiracies and exploits, and was even mistaken as a traitor by these people. How many people could bear this kind of suffering, and she knew that it was like this. . . Yet she was still persisting. Perhaps death was truly a form of relief.
As Qing Yun thought about it, the alcohol slowly started to rise. It made him fall asleep again. In the dream, he once again saw Xiner that he missed. She smiled at him, and Qing Yun wanted to reach out and grab her. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not catch her. Gradually, Xiner's beautiful figure became more and more blurry. No matter how he shouted, he couldn't stop her. This immediately woke him up. Only then did he realize that the sky was already bright.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye like a flash of light. Tianyu rested and left again. He wanted to fulfill his words back then, travel the four seas, and start a life of wandering the world. From the moment of the execution, Lee Tianyu had already ceased to exist. This time, he changed his name to Li Yuchen. From now on, there was another top expert in the martial arts world.
During this period of peace, although it seemed like nothing had happened, there was an undercurrent surging in the dark. All the major powers were secretly manipulating the situation, and an even bigger conspiracy had begun.
Nanzhou, Hundred-face Pavilion, Main Hall. Jia Tianwei was sitting in the main hall of Main Hall, listening to his subordinate's report.
"Master, that masked man has escaped back to Da Ming. In addition, because of the Imperial Examinations, Pingyun Prince was punished by the Emperor to stay in the Wang Mansion for three months. However, it seems like the Emperor has something to say. As long as the war starts, Pingyun Prince can immediately lead troops to attack.
"En, got it. Have you investigated the identity of that masked man? I keep feeling that he looks a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've met him before. This time, you nearly let him save Ye Wufeng and his wife. It was your fault. Fortunately, you managed to save them in time, or else you would all have died. "
"It was your subordinate who admitted his mistake, but this masked man is really mysterious and alert. He escaped from our pursuit several times, so we haven't investigated his background yet. "
"Forget it. You must be careful when you do things in the future. I think this matter is related to Mu Qingyun. Sooner or later, I will make him die without a burial ground. "
"Yes, I will be careful in the future. Oh, right. Three days ago, someone came to find the Master. He said that he wanted to meet with the Master and had something to discuss with him. Coincidentally, the Master was not in the pavilion these few days, so this subordinate arranged for him to stay in the branch hall. I wonder if the Master would like to meet him after returning this time?"
"Meet me? Who is it?"
"According to what he said, he is the Fourth Master Wang Yu of the World's Tyrant Manor in the Central Plains. He said that there is something important that he wants to discuss. He said that you will definitely be interested in the Master. "
"World's Tyrant Manor. I have heard of this name before. It was said that the World's Tyrant Manor had always been mysterious and rarely appeared in the Pugilistic World. Why have you suddenly come to our place today? Fine. Since he's here, I'll take a look at him. I want to see what his important matter is. It will interest me. Let him come and see me. I'll wait in Main Hall. "
"Yes, this subordinate will do it right away. " After saying that, he turned around and left. The next morning, this subordinate brought the so-called Wang Yu to Main Hall. Because of Jia Tianwei's orders, they arrived at the main hall without any obstacles along the way.
"Wang Yu of World's Tyrant Manor greets Master Jia. " When the man saw Jia Tianwei, he cupped his fists and greeted him.
"Hehe, Master Wang is being too polite. I wonder why Master Wang is here?" Jia Tianwei didn't return the greeting. Instead, he went straight to the point.
Jia Tianwei's arrogance had infuriated Wang Yu. He was the dignified Master of World's Tyrant Manor. He was high and mighty, and he had never encountered such a situation before. But now was the time to use him. He had no choice but to be courteous to his superior. Before he came, his big brother had already reminded him. He must not be impulsive. He must prioritize the big matter. Otherwise, given Wang Yu's temper, he would have already started fighting.
"Brother, I'm here to help you, Master Jia. "
"Help me? Hehe, Master Wang, you must be joking. What can I help you with?"
"What Master said is wrong. Who doesn't know that you, Master Jia, have allied with the Nanzhou to invade the Ming Dynasty? Although you have won in the past few years, you have not achieved anything in the end. "
"You. . . " Master Jia was really a little angry when he heard this. What he said made Jia Tianwei feel a little humiliated. It made him feel like laughing at him.
"Master, don't be angry. I am also speaking the truth. I have come here for this matter. "
"Oh? Tell me about it. "
"I know that the reason Master Jia cooperated with Nanzhou to invade Great Ming is to strengthen his Hundred-face Pavilion. It's just to make his Hundred-face Pavilion's position more stable, but there is a faster way now. This method could still help you achieve your goal, and it would be safer than before. When the task was completed, it would be a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than what you have been working so hard for. I wonder if you are interested in the Master? "
"Oh? There's such a good thing? Why don't you tell me? "
"The reason why you lost was because of that Pingyun Prince. Now, my big brother and second brother have successfully entered the Imperial Court. Big brother is the top scholar in literature. Although second brother isn't Martial Champion, he has been conferred the title of military official. Now, we only need an opportunity. As long as the time is right, the two of them will be held in important positions. Great Ming Dynasty will be a piece of cake for us. "
"The opportunity you are talking about is for me to find the patriarch of Nanzhou and send troops again, right?" Jia Tianwei thought for a moment and said.
"Hahahaha, smart. It was easy to deal with smart people, not bad. As long as you can convince him to send troops again, you have the confidence that my second brother will go with the army. At that time, my second brother will pass you useful information, and then eliminate Pingyun Prince and his Cloud Guardian in one fell swoop. In the end, you will give my second brother a chance to make a meritorious service. This way, when my second brother returns to court, he will definitely reward you for your meritorious service. You are a great meritorious official. Your meritorious service cannot be lost. "
"Then why should I trust you? If you break the bridge after crossing the river, won't I lose both men and soldiers? Besides, how should I explain this to the patriarch of Nanzhou? I'm afraid there's no other way for your second brother to take up such an important position besides forcing Nanzhou to retreat. "
"Master Jia, isn't your ultimate goal to consolidate your position? To put it bluntly, it's not a good thing. With our World's Tyrant Manor, the Nanzhou is just a stepping stone for you. When the throne is in your hands, do you still care about the Nanzhou? If you want to say that we are going to break the bridge after crossing the river, you are worrying too much. With the power of the Hundred-face Pavilion. . . I know that there are still branches of you in the Jianghu of the Central Plains. We can only make friends with such a force. Don't you agree?"
