Chapter 263 1 stone 3 birds
"The famous Li in Jiangnan, Li Yunye?"
Yan Zong, who had returned to the Northern Border military camp, was surprised after listening to Yu Cheng's report, but there was no big ripple on his stern face. He just murmured in a cold voice, feeling confused.
Yu Cheng only told Yan Zong that Si Yao had found her childhood sweetheart who had been with her for more than ten years, and he did not dare to tell her that she had rejected him.
Although Yan Zong already knew about the existence of Si Yao's two souls in one body, he also guessed that the so-called childhood sweetheart she found was most likely Jiang Siyao. However, what surprised him was that Jiang Siyao had now become Li Yunye, a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, Jingsong Kingdom.
Since learning the secret of Si Yao's dual souls, Yan Zong has secretly searched for relevant ancient books, but he has never seen any historical records. All he found were some illusory myths and legends and stories compiled by the world. So much so that Mr. Fan was surprised for a long time when he saw the story books in his tent, and couldn't help but wonder when His Highness became interested in these strange story books? Faced with Mr. Fan's jokes, Yan Zong just made up a random excuse to prevaricate.
They were originally two souls in one body. Now that Si Yao has occupied the body, Jiang Si Yao should be just a wisp of soul consciousness. If she wants to avoid being discovered by the underworld messenger, she can only occupy a human body, but everyone in this world has their own soul consciousness. If she occupies Li Yunye's body, then where is Li Yunye's soul consciousness? Is he dead? Can she easily take over someone's body...
Yan Zong could only rely on the stories he had read about foxes, ghosts and gods to explain how Jiang Siyao became the boss of Jiangnan Mingli, but the more he thought about it, the colder his back felt. Yan Zong, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, had never thought that one day he would be influenced by these fabricated stories, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart.
"Your Highness? Your Highness?"
Yu Cheng saw that the prince was in a daze for a long time, and he called him twice to bring him back to his senses. However, the prince's calmness made Yu Cheng puzzled: Miss Si Yao has found her childhood sweetheart, so why is the prince not in a hurry at all?
"She accepted the agate gem. Did she say anything?" Yan Zong restrained his expression and asked.
"Miss Si Yao said that one should not accept gifts without merit..." Yu Cheng saw that His Highness was not in a hurry, but he panicked. He was about to tell His Highness everything Si Yao had said to reject His Highness, but he was interrupted by Mr. Fan who came in just as he started to say:
"Your Highness, the fish we released are moving."
Mr. Fan hurried in and did not pay attention to the anxiety on Yu Cheng's face. Instead, he bowed to Yan Zong and reported.
"Where did they go?" Yan Zong's eyes immediately turned cold when he heard Mr. Fan's words.
As for Yu Cheng's reply just now, although Yan Zong only heard half of the sentence, based on his understanding of Si Yao, he could guess that she would definitely not want to accept his gift again. However, Yu Cheng naturally did not dare to fail to complete the task, so he would just force the thing to stay with her.
After all, the gemstone was delivered to Si Yao, and Yan Zong was relieved. As for his feelings, he would find an opportunity to express them to her in person. After the late emperor left, he no longer had any scruples. When the northern border was stable, he would ask Yan Qiao for permission to dissolve the marriage between Nan Rong Liang Ling and himself, and then marry Si Yao openly.
"The Beigu Camp of Jingsong Kingdom." Mr. Fan replied with a smile.
"Humph, it's indeed a big fish." Upon hearing this, a light flashed in Yan Zong's cold eyes. These people who were instigating trouble in the northern border were indeed sent by the Jingsong Kingdom as his elder brother suspected.
"It turns out that the Jingsong Kingdom wanted to stir up chaos in the northern border of our Xiyue Kingdom!" Yu Cheng, who was standing aside, was also slightly angry at this time. He continued to snort in a calm voice: "It was the Jingsong Kingdom that broke the agreement first and withdrew its troops halfway and ignored us. Our Xiyue Kingdom hasn't settled the account yet, but the Jingsong Kingdom took the initiative to provoke us. Your Highness, why not take this opportunity to attack the Jingsong Kingdom's Beigu Camp..."
"Don't do this!" Yu Cheng was interrupted by Mr. Fan before he finished speaking. Then he said to Yan Zong: "Your Highness, you should report this matter to His Majesty first."
"Well, Xiyue Kingdom has just destroyed Lang Kingdom, and the people in the northern border are not stable. As a general, you should understand that Xiyue Kingdom cannot start a war again at this time?" Yan Zong nodded, raised his cold eyes slightly and warned Yu Cheng.
"Yu Cheng was reckless. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." After Yu Cheng calmed down, he felt ashamed of his impulsive words.
"There is something I would like to ask you to do, sir." Yan Zong ignored Yu Cheng and turned to Mr. Fan.
"Please give your orders, Your Highness." Mr. Fan bowed and said with a smile.
"Sir, send a few new faces to spread the news among the people in the northern border tomorrow, and make the conspiracy of Jingsong Kingdom known to the public."
"Your Highness, this plan is brilliant. You can use public opinion to publicize this matter. In this way, we won't have to worry about being blamed by the Jingsong Kingdom due to insufficient evidence. Let it ferment among the people, allowing the people in the northern border to see the Jingsong Kingdom's conspiracy, and also transfer their internal conflicts to the outside. At the same time, Your Majesty can also use public opinion to put pressure on the Jingsong Kingdom. This plan can be said to kill three birds with one stone. Your Highness is very smart!" As soon as Yan Zong finished speaking, Mr. Fan smiled knowingly and nodded repeatedly to praise Prince Zong.
After listening to Mr. Fan's analysis, Yu Cheng suddenly realized and couldn't help but look at His Highness with admiration.
"That's also because Mr. Fan taught me well." Yan Zong disagreed. Mr. Fan was able to analyze this plan thoroughly in a short time, which showed that he might have thought of it.
"Your Highness is too modest." Mr. Fan stroked his long beard and smiled, feeling a little proud. He then bowed and said, "Old Fan will go pick someone right away."
Yan Zong nodded, and when Mr. Fan left the tent, he turned to Yu Cheng and said, "I have something for you to do as well."
"Your Highness, please speak?" Yu Cheng immediately bowed respectfully.
"You should go to Jiangnan of Jingsong Kingdom in person and investigate Li Yunye for me. The more detailed the better." Yan Zong stood up and walked to Yu Cheng, and suddenly said in a low voice.
"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing that His Highness did not neglect the matter, Yu Cheng finally felt relieved. After responding, he turned around and left.
Yan Zong was the only one left in the tent, but his brows were furrowed. If the current Li Yunye was really possessed by Jiang Siyao's soul, then she would have become a man here. If she recognized Siyao in the future, they would probably become childhood sweethearts in the eyes of outsiders.
Childhood sweethearts? Thinking of this, Yan Zong narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a cold air. Even before the incident happened, he was already filled with jealousy.
The courtyard of the Yingmen Xinmen is located in a small town in the eastern border of Xiyue Country. This is the first time that Xuanyu has come to the courtyard. Although there are shadow warriors leading the way, her beautiful eyes still look around vigilantly wherever she goes.
The gateyard is built in an inconspicuous corner of the town. From the outside, it is just an ordinary house and will not attract much attention from outsiders. But when you enter the yard, the small courtyard is full of flowers and plants and looks messy, but after passing through the central hall, the huge backyard is a different world, with rockery and gurgling water, painted buildings and carved beams everywhere, and a vermilion covered bridge across the lake, extending from the rockery to the red palace at the other end.
"I am Xuanyu, the left protector of Shadow Clan, and I pay my respects to the clan leader." Xuanyu followed the shadow guard in front of her across the corridor bridge and entered the study room of the Red Palace. She saw Hong'a, who was dressed in dark red and wearing a black and white mask, sitting in front of the window. She hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.
"Hurry up and get up." Hong Ah stood up and waved her red fan gently. She came to Yan Yu and helped her up. Her tone was much softer: "From now on, you will be my right-hand man. You don't need to be polite in front of this sect master."
"Thank you, Sect Master." After bowing respectfully, Yan Yu took out a black medicine bottle and said, "Sect Master, this is the secret medicine Gu Xin that my sister has just developed."
"Newly developed? How is it different from the previous ones?" Hong A took the medicine bottle, curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"The new secret medicine extends the effectiveness of the old secret medicine and reduces the dementia behavior of the victim, allowing the victim's consciousness to be controlled and behavior to be relatively normal." Yan Yu replied truthfully.
"Master Honghua Valley is thoughtful." Hong'a didn't show much interest after hearing this. After all, it was for the person he hated, so he didn't care whether he was stupid or not.
"My elder sister also asked Yanyu to thank Xie Yingmen for her great help. If Yingmen wants to do something in Southern Xinjiang in the future, she will definitely do her best to repay them."
"Okay, that's what I want to hear from Master Honghua of the Valley." Hong'a was very happy at Yanyu's words. With the help of the Poisonous Insect Valley, his plan to go south could be slowly implemented.
"It must not be easy for your sister and I to deal with the former master of the Poisonous Insect Valley in southern Xinjiang this time, right?" Hong'a put away the medicine bottle in his hand, turned around and sat back under the window, and asked casually.
"After all, my sister is a disciple of the Poisonous Insect Valley, and the former valley master was her mentor. She knows my sister very well, so the battle in the Poisonous Insect Valley this time is indeed not easy. That's why Xuanyu has delayed until now to come back and report to the sect leader." Hong'a's question seemed casual, but Xuanyu also understood that she had stayed in southern Xinjiang for several months, which would definitely arouse his suspicion. Therefore, her sister had prepared an excuse for her when she was in the Poisonous Insect Valley.
"Oh? I'm curious about how your sister took over the Poisonous Insect Valley? As a member of the Shadow Clan, what role did you play in it?" After Jing Yanyu said this, Hong'a continued to ask in an interested tone.
When the sect leader asked about it, Huanyu carefully told him the story that her sister Honghua had made up for her. Honghua found the whole process reasonable and her doubts were dispelled.
