Chapter 354
Everyone thought about it carefully.
But when I think about it, I don’t think I’m stupid.
But now that things have come to this, it is certainly impossible for them to directly refute the high priest and ruin their relationship.
After all, they still have to hope to get news from the high priest.
If I really offend someone, I won't say anything to them anymore.
Or maybe they deliberately said some wrong information to mislead them.
Wouldn't that just bring trouble to yourself?
So the best way is to say nothing even if you don’t agree.
"Whatever trick the high priest has in mind, why not just tell us directly?"
"Guessing all this time will only make us look stupid."
"It's totally unnecessary and inappropriate to waste everyone's time at the same time."
"To us now, wasting an extra quarter of an hour is wasting our lives."
"If Xiang Jianwan is really still alive, then the time we waste by dawdling here is just sending ourselves to the edge of someone's knife and seeking death."
Everyone didn't know what to say, so they simply stopped talking and let the high priest speak.
He was so sure about it, could this be a great idea?
If they can't explain it clearly, then they will have to talk it out.
The high priest had long anticipated how scoundrelly they would be, so he simply didn't take it too seriously. He didn't care about this little trick anyway.
What's more, he wanted to take this opportunity to make things clear.
"Let me tell you, what exactly is this strategy?"
The high priest did not rush to answer, but instead asked a question.
"Yes, yes! Since the high priest really has an idea, why not tell us about it and we can discuss it together."
"Yes! Didn't we say that at the beginning? We all get together to discuss countermeasures, not to argue and argue about who's better."
The high priest smiled and said, "It's not impossible for me to tell you what the plan is."
"But I really don't know. If I really tell you, will you be like you just now? Before I can finish my words, will you question me, speculate about me, and plot against me again?"
"After all, I just have a bad memory."
“When you are talking, you are most afraid of saying half of what you are saying.”
"I'm halfway through a conversation, and suddenly I can't continue. I might even end up wasting my energy arguing with others in vain."
"Then there's a good chance I won't remember anything."
"If you forget the plan, that's a minor issue. But if you forget something important, and the whole team suffers, that would be a big deal."
"What do you think?"
Everyone: ...What else can they think?
The threat was so obvious, what else could they do except shut up?
Otherwise, who knows what will happen.
Who knows whether what the high priest said is true or false?
What if it was just a half-made up lie and there was no way to tell the follow-up.
Then he would blame them for their words affecting him and causing him to forget the most important part.
Doesn't that mean the truth will never be revealed?
Even if they realize that they have been cheated, they will be speechless because of the accusation.
In fact, they are now very suspicious. The high priest has been beating around the bush and has been unwilling to speak directly. Instead, he has been saying some specious things, causing their misunderstanding and anger. Could it be that he is doing this on purpose?
Just to wait for the opportunity to put the blame on them.
The more people thought about it, the more they felt that this was possible.
He was even more and more certain in his heart that the high priest couldn't even tell the whole thing!
The high priest sneered and slapped him in the face: "The reason why I insisted on letting the great elder say these words is not because I think Sang Jingwan will care about your hypocritical words."
"I'm just gambling."
"She is indeed betting that there is no way to go back in time, so naturally she cannot really go back to the past."
"But since he is studying immortal arts in the Imperial Master's Mansion, it should be no problem for him to just create an illusion."
"Since we can't really go back to the past in reality, we can definitely go back in fantasy."
"Then we can convince her and use the illusion as a test to see if we are sincere."
"Only after she has experienced it herself and suffered some pain, will she really believe that we are sincere and want to repent."
“But if you really have entered an illusion, you must be a person with a firm mind if you want to break it.”
"At worst, you have to sincerely want to go back and undo what happened."
"Otherwise, once we enter the illusion, our true thoughts will be revealed. Not only will it not help us and Sang Jingwan to make peace, but it will also create new hatreds and even more injustices."
"By then, we will really be shooting ourselves in the foot."
“The gain is not worth the loss.”
The high priest glanced at everyone and said, "That's why I repeatedly emphasized that the great elder should speak his mind sincerely and not be deceitful or create any kind of persona at a time like this. Sang Jingwan is not here, and among those of us present, who doesn't know each other's character?"
"Neither of them is a good person. Why do they have to pretend to be each other at this time and affect the overall situation?"
"It's just that I didn't expect that you guys are so stupid that you can't see through such a simple and easy to understand truth."
“It really disappoints me.”
The high priest sighed and said, "To be honest, I am really worried about myself cooperating with you guys."
"As the saying goes, I'm not afraid of great opponents, I'm afraid of idiot teammates."
"You are worse than pigs."
"Extremely stupid."
"I really don't know how you would implicate me if Sang Jingwan were really alive."
As everyone listened to the high priest's disparaging words, their faces turned a little ugly.
But I have to admit that what the high priest said makes some sense.
If Sang Jingwan is really still alive, this would indeed be a good way to solve the problem.
However, just admitting that the high priest was right would make them seem too incompetent.
So soon, they vented their anger on the Great Elder.
The first elder is much smarter than the second elder.
Also better at observing people's words and expressions.
After hearing what the high priest said, he knew something was wrong.
Now seeing everyone's eyes on him, he took the lead in bowing to the high priest without waiting for anyone to question him, his face full of apology and sincerity.
"It turned out that I was narrow-minded and misjudged the high priest. I even nearly caused such a big misunderstanding. It was really my fault that the high priest was misunderstood."
After hearing what he said, everyone lost their reason to continue making trouble.
They had to hold back their anger, unable to vent or swallow it, which made them all feel uncomfortable. The high priest did not respond to him, but only said, "I have now informed everyone of the news I got during this trip."
"Whether you believe it or not depends on how you think."
"You can investigate it yourself and then judge whether it is true or not."
Someone asked, "The high priest also thinks that Sang Jingwan is likely to come back to life?"
The high priest shook his head: "I don't know."
"The immortal arts and secrets of the Imperial Master's Mansion are extremely profound. It is beyond the ability of a mere high priest of the Spirit Servant Clan like me to peek into them."
"But I guess that even if one cannot be resurrected from the dead, it may not be impossible to leave behind a remnant soul or obsession to complete the things that one wanted to accomplish in life."
After the high priest finished speaking, the man's eyes darkened for a moment.
-
Capital city, palace.
Not long after, everything that happened to the Sang family was reported to Zhao Tan in great detail.
"what?"
"Sang Jingwan is still alive."
"Why did such a rumor suddenly spread among the Sang family?"
"Also, why did the high priest of the Sang clan know the words that Sang Jingwan left before she died?"
"Who on earth spread this news?"
"Where's Wang Shang?"
Zhao Tan angrily smashed a set of tea sets: "He was responsible for handling the aftermath of this matter. Now that such news has been reported, doesn't he have anything to say?"
The subordinate reported: "When the news about the Sang family came, our people also checked the movements of Commander Wang..."
His voice hesitated for a moment.
"Just say whatever you want to say. What's the point of hemming and hawing?"
Although Zhao Tan's tone was gentle, he glared at his men and they immediately knelt on the ground to apologize, respectfully not daring to hesitate.
"Commander Wang has already died."
Zhao Tan's eyes widened: "When did it happen?"
"Didn't Wang Shang personally send the message back not long ago? Express delivery of 800 miles... How come he suddenly died now?"
The subordinate said, "Commander Wang was killed in his house not long ago, along with his capable subordinates."
"Killed?"
Zhao Tan frowned: "Wang Shang is quite skilled and has few rivals. He also has his subordinates helping him. Who can kill him easily?"
"According to the report from the people who went to the scene, there were a lot of signs of fighting. Commander Wang and his men must have fought a desperate battle with others before they died, but were ultimately defeated..."
The subordinate paused and glanced at Zhao Tan's face. "Our spies in Jiang'an County suspect that Commander Wang was silenced because he discovered that Sang Jingwan might have possessed Jiang Anning and was not really dead. That's why Sang Jingwan silenced him!"
"What did you say?!"
When Zhao Tan heard that "Sang Jingwan might have possessed Jiang An Ning and was not really dead", his face turned pale and his whole body was swollen.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?"
"How could Sang Jingwan not be dead?"
"Didn't Wang Shang kill him personally? Why is he not dead now?!"
Zhao Tan muttered to himself and broke into a sweat.
"Yes, yes. Even Wang Shang himself has been killed. What else is impossible?"
"Sang Jingwan is not dead..."
“Hahahahahahaha, Sang Jingwan is not dead, Sang Jingwan is not dead!”
Zhao Tan laughed like a madman, looking up to the sky.
"Since Wang Shang is already dead, how do you know what he discovered that led to him being silenced?"
His eyes suddenly became fierce, he drew out his sword and pointed it at his men's throats.
The subordinates were so nervous that they didn't even dare to swallow their saliva.
I was afraid that if I moved, my throat would be slit.
"Yes, Commander Wang left a message before he died."
"Originally, it was supposed to be sent back to the capital at an expedited rate of 800 miles."
"I didn't expect that Commander Wang would be killed when he went to verify it... So, our people suspected that Commander Wang guessed the truth and was killed."
This sounds reasonable.
Zhao Tan frowned.
In that case, is it possible that Sang Jingwan is still alive?
Doesn't that mean that the original prophecy was true?
As a result, he ordered Jiang An Ning to come to the capital, and conferred the title of Princess Shao'an on her, and granted her a marriage with Jiang Wei. He wanted to tell her the "truth about her mother's murder" before she got married, and use the grudges of the past to cause Jiang An Ning and the Jiang'an Marquisate to kill each other... Isn't that courting their own destruction?
If Sang Jingwan didn't die, but instead possessed her daughter Jiang Anning, wouldn't this be telling her clearly that he was treacherous and not only failed to protect her daughter and let her live a life of wealth and glory, but also tortured her daughter in every way.
In this case, even if Sang Jingwan wanted to not be angry, it would be impossible!
Zhao Tan panicked.
He paced back and forth in the hall in a daze.
"Someone, go and ask the Queen Mother to come... No, no, no, I want to leave the palace myself!"
"Prepare the horses and call the troops!"
"I will personally go to my mother to apologize..."
Zhao Tan was extremely nervous, and even when he ordered his men to do something, his hands were shaking in his sleeves.
-
Jiang Anning had no idea that after his rebirth, his temperament would change, which would lead to so many outrageous speculations among people.
She just looked at the barrage and exclaimed again.
[What the hell? Why has the information on this card changed again? ]
[No, this is more than just a change...]
[Why is Jiang An Ning not Princess Shao An anymore? She became Princess An Ning... Hey hey hey, no, she became Princess Ning An again, no, no, why did she become Princess Jiang An again, hey hey hey? ? Why does she keep changing!!]
[Stop watching Jiang Anning's video and go watch Duan Qingshan's video! I'm so bored and I'm always distracted! ]
[Are you crazy? If you desert, you will die...]
Most people are cursing the website for being inhumane, always slacking off, and telling people to get out if they can, and get out if they can't.
I spent money to come here to be your grandson?
Jiang Anning didn't understand what they meant by online slacking, but she also saw the cursory changes on her information card.
This is, what happened again?
She didn't think it was a system bug as mentioned in the comments.
She suspected that something else had happened somewhere she didn't know about, which affected the changes in her information card.
