Start with a red name

"This world is really interesting."

Compared with its strong strength and profound foundation, Wuyou Palace is professional and systematic in espionage information.

Even in this era, it is second to none.

Below are the grassroots forces headed by Dingxingtang, which are rooted in all directions and lurking in various places.

There are also members of Sifangtang who travel around and connect with organizations.

There is also a special pigeon training academy, which uses tens of thousands of homing pigeons to weave an information network covering the entire Yuanzhou, with the vast Dingxing Hall and Sifang Hall as the foundation.

In addition, in the face of those powerful forces that are like "information black holes" that Dingxing Hall and Sifang Hall cannot penetrate, Wuyou Palace also has a special inner court to deal with them.

It can be said that the huge network woven by Wuyou Palace would have been in vain if it had not been for the emergence of Geng Xuan, a "nemesis from heaven" who could not be guessed by common sense.

With the normal means of this world, even if they are not omniscient and omnipotent, it is difficult to hide any movement against Wuyou Palace from their eyes.

But even in such a Wuyou Palace, Xiao Jingwen, the most trusted "favored minister" of the current Wuyou Palace Lord, was not a "natural growth", but was the result of deliberate planning and secret insertion by other forces!
Those high-level officials of Wuyou Palace who died did not know until their death that the Wuyou Palace, which was best at using the carefully cultivated women to quietly infiltrate the "eyes" and "will" of other forces under the illusion of "love", would one day be used by others to do the same to themselves.

The effect is surprisingly good.

What is even more incredible is that the one who captured the current Lord of Wuyou Palace was not some stunningly beautiful woman, but another man.

If the dean of the inner court were to be resurrected, he would probably die of shame and anger again.

What a shame!

This is a great shame and humiliation for Wuyou Palace, especially the Neiwei Court!
Geng Xuan felt incredible as he looked at the text in his hand. It was simple and straightforward, without any ambiguity or code.

In his mind, he once again recalled the scene where Xiao Jingwen crawled out of the ruins of the Zi Luo Palace and unconditionally surrendered.

I suddenly realized it belatedly.

"I see!"

Before this, the reason why he sent Xiao Jingwen on his way so easily was not because the conditions were not attractive.

Geng Xuan was actually very moved.

But first of all, the overly red reputation above his head cannot be fake.

Another thing is that both the changes in Xiao Jingwen's inner emotions and the changes in the "ripples" emitted from his body at that time were too different from those of a beggar who was only concerned with survival.

"This guy is not surrendering sincerely."

After making this judgment, Geng Xuan, who had no time to play any "battle of wits and courage" games with others, made the simplest and most straightforward choice.

Send him to death.

Geng Xuan also thought at the time that Xiao Jingwen might really be deeply in love with the Lord of Wuyou Palace.

So, pretend to surrender and then wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

Now, after reading this letter, Geng Xuan finally understood the real reason.

At that time, Xue Zhiheng, the two elders of the Xu family and others who were watching were tempted by the conditions offered by Xiao Jingwen, but they also felt that his "Su Ruiliang" response was too "honest and straightforward."

Even if he really wanted to kill Xiao Jingwen to eliminate future troubles, he could just agree to it first. After all of Xiao Jingwen's usefulness was squeezed out, it would not be too late to kill him then.

But now think about it, doesn’t Xiao Jingwen understand this truth?

He understands so well.

What he wanted was never for "Su Ruiliang" to really spare his life.

He just wanted to use those conditions as bait to earn himself a chance to survive for about a month.

To be more precise, it is twenty-five days!
The content of this Mingwen letter is very simple and it says two things.

One is to let Xiao Jingwen take advantage of the fact that Wuyou Palace has a large number of brothels and many beautiful and talented women in Yuanjing City, and hold an event on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year. The more lively and loud the event is, and the more people it attracts, the better.

The second was to ask Xiao Jingwen whether he could take advantage of this opportunity, or create other opportunities, to "trick" the leader of Lianyun Village out of Lianyun Lake.

And the time is still the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year.

"…If that doesn't work, we can only attack with force, which will result in many casualties and a waste of energy. If we can outsmart them, Brother Xiao will be credited with the first achievement!
After enduring humiliation for more than ten years, the opportunity to rise up is today. Let us encourage each other! "

This is the last paragraph of the letter.

There is no mention in the article that Dong Guan would cross the river and head south to Yuanzhou on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year.

But Geng Xuan made such a judgment easily.

"Lianyun Village" and the Jinsha Gang are both among the four top forces in Yuanzhou that rely on "water" for their livelihood.

The biggest difference is that the Jinsha Gang feeds on the Mangjiang River, while the Lianyunzhai feeds on the Hanghe River.

Lianyun Lake is where the headquarters of Lianyun Village is located, and the lake is directly connected to the Hang River.

And on the other side of this river is Xuanzhou.

Therefore, in this letter, Xiao Jingwen was requested to help "trick" the leader of Lianyun Village out of Lianyun Lake on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year.

He also said, "If we fail to conquer by strategy, we can only attack by force." If it were not for the convenience of Xuanzhou on the other side to cross the river, Geng Xuan would have eaten the letter in his hand.

In fact, Geng Xuan could already roughly imagine what would happen at that time from the two things mentioned in the letter.

Geng Xuan looked at Tang Caizhu, Xue Zhiheng, and Xu Qiwen, raised the letter in his hand, and asked, "Have you all read this letter?"

The three of them nodded, and Xue Zhiheng said:
"I saw it before entering Caizheyuan."

Geng Xuan asked: "What do you think?"

Xue Zhiheng looked bitter and said softly:

“It’s almost obvious, isn’t it?

According to the content of this letter, something big will definitely happen in Yuanjing City on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month next year.

Letting Xiao Jingwen stir up trouble through Wuyou Palace to attract everyone's attention should be to provide convenience for those who act in secret. "

Having said this, Xue Zhiheng paused and said:
“Perhaps, it will be just as easy as we captured this Acropolis.

However, these people's appetite is obviously much bigger than ours. It's not a certain Acropolis, but the capital of Yuan!"

"And as for Lianyun Village, look at the tone of the person who wrote the letter.

Even if the plan fails, as the chief of Lianyun Village does not leave, they are still capable of storming the entire Lianyun Village in a very short time.

Apart from the Lord of Xuanyou who is just across the river, I really can’t think of anyone nearby who has such great ability!"

Geng Xuan nodded and said:

"It's pretty much what I thought, so..."

As he spoke, Geng Xuan raised the letter in his hand and said, "Can this be regarded as a notice that Dong Guan will suddenly attack Yuanzhou on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year?"

The three of them nodded silently.

From their emotional fluctuations, Geng Xuan could see the complexity, hesitation, and faint regret in their current state of mind.

If they had known about this in advance, perhaps, even if he, "Su Ruiliang", put a knife to their necks, they would not have boarded this "pirate ship" that was about to sink.

But there are no ifs in this world.

By the time they found out about this, they were already too deeply tied to "Su Ruiliang".

Now, they have no other choice but to hold on tighter to Su Ruiliang's thick thigh.

You can't just point your finger at "Su Ruiliang" and say, "You've caused us so much trouble!"

What's even more perverted is that "Su Ruiliang" has the ability to see through people's hearts, so they can't have any other thoughts even if they want to.

That would only put them in desperate situation sooner.

Xue Zhiheng said:

“Before considering disaster relief, Gang Leader, please think about how we should deal with this matter.

Now, there are only 25 days left until the date agreed in the letter, and it is already very urgent!"

Geng Xuan looked at the three people with some suspicion and said:

"I see that you are all in good condition... Have you come up with any countermeasures?"

Xue Zhiheng sighed and said:
"The leader is indeed a man of insight... Yes, we did discuss the contents of the letter before coming in, and we have some ideas."

"Tell me about it." Geng Xuan acted as if he was all ears.

Xue Zhiheng said:

“Dong Guan’s move is actually speculation.

Taking advantage of everyone's psychological loopholes!
Over the past one or two hundred years, everyone has become accustomed to believing that military leaders from other states would not dare to rashly enter Yuanzhou before gaining absolute advantage.

Otherwise, you will immediately become the target of public criticism and be attacked by the whole world.

Therefore, everyone also agreed that even if Dong Guan couldn't hold back and wanted to take action, he would only use Haozhou or Minzhou as a breakthrough point. "

Xue Zhiheng looked at the letter in Geng Xuan's hand and said:

“The most important point for his plan to succeed is to take advantage of the enemy’s unpreparedness!

But now, aren't we prepared?

Wuyou Palace was suddenly destroyed by us, and the letter fell into our hands.

Now we just need to spread the contents immediately, and Dong Guan’s plan to take Yuanzhou without much effort will be shattered! "

"No one in Yuanzhou wants to see a ancestor suddenly appear above their heads who can decide their life and death!"

"It's one thing to cooperate with Dong Guan in business, but it's another to let him ride on everyone's neck."

“I believe that as long as the word gets out.

Apart from anything else, Dong Guan's plan to seize Yuanjing City by trickery will not work! "

“Not only will the various forces in Yuanzhou try their best to stop him, but the other states will also try their best to stop Dong Guan.

Although Dong Guan is strong, his current ability is still far from enough to conquer the world on his own, right? "

"Didn't Cheng Yaoyang say that the waters of Yuanjing are very deep?
Maybe Dong Guan was drowned here?"

Since he has already joined the camp of "Su Ruiliang" and become a mortal enemy of Dong Guan, he no longer has the qualifications to be indecisive and should just go down one path to the end.

After listening to Xue Zhiheng's analysis, Geng Xuan, who had other plans in mind, did not refute. He nodded slightly and said:

"So when do you think it would be appropriate to release this news?"

Xue Zhiheng said in a deep voice: "The sooner the better."

He paused and said:
"I'm actually worried that if we don't spread this news quickly, someone might come and cover our mouths."

Geng Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

The so-called "covering the mouth" is naturally to silence someone.

The appearance of this letter, as well as its contents, imply some additional information.

That is to say, there are probably more Dong Guan forces hiding and lurking in the Yuan capital.

The sudden action of "Su Ruiliang" not only caught all parties in Yuanjing by surprise, but also caught those hiding and lurking people off guard.

Disseminating the contents of this letter immediately is not only a warning to other forces, but also a way to relieve some of the pressure that they would otherwise have to bear alone.

At that time, they were so busy taking care of themselves that they couldn't spare any extra energy to target them.

Geng Xuan, who had also figured this out, nodded in agreement:
"Okay, let's do it."

At this moment, Xue Zhiheng, Tang Caizhu and Xu Qiwen looked at each other.

Finally, it was Xue Zhiheng who spoke:

"Boss, now that the situation has changed, can you stay in Yuanjing for a while longer?
We really can't predict how the situation in Yuanjing will develop next. Without you in charge, everyone feels uneasy."

As he spoke, he saw that "Su Ruiliang" looked surprised, and quickly added:
“We all know that you are very concerned about the dredging of the Zhushui River.

How about this, you stay in Yuanjing and just appoint one of us to take charge of the situation?
If you have any plans, you can send a quick message by carrier pigeon. This won’t delay you at all.”

Geng Xuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, looking at the eager eyes of the three people:
"Presiding over the dredging of the ancient Zhushui River is only one reason. I have other reasons why I must leave."

All three of them looked disappointed.

Geng Xuan saw this and comforted him:

“But don’t worry, even though I’m away temporarily, I will always keep an eye on the situation in Yuanjing.

If the situation gets any different, I'll come right over here."

When the three heard him say this, although they did not hide their disappointment, they did not say anything more.

There was nothing else to say after that. The three of them bowed and said goodbye and left.

After watching the three people leave, Geng Xuan sat quietly for a moment, then suppressed the thoughts in his mind and continued to devote himself to cultivation.

Originally, he just practiced the three skills of "Hongbo Swimming Body Technique", "Turtle Breathing Technique" and "Li Shui Splitting Light Stab" as a side job.

At this moment, Geng Xuan temporarily put it in the position of "major", and he concentrated all his energy on it.

He took the initiative to suppress the waves of emotion that had arisen in his heart because of the visit of Tang Caizhu, Xue Zhiheng and others. …

December, 21st.

early morning.

The courtyard shrouded in thick fog had just begun to turn slightly white when Geng Xuan had already walked out of the small courtyard where Dean Caizhe lived.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, Geng Xuan was stunned.

He looked at Yue Sheng who was standing not far away and asked, "What are you doing standing here?"

Yue Sheng bowed respectfully to Geng Xuan and said, "I heard that you are leaving today, boss?"

"Yeah." Geng Xuan nodded.

Yue Sheng asked: "I wonder what arrangements the gang leader will make for us? Should we stay here or go with you?"

Geng Xuan was startled when he heard this and asked, "You are waiting here just for this?"

"Yes." Yue Sheng said.

"So what do you think?" Geng Xuan asked.

"We want to go with you, boss." Yue Sheng said.

Geng Xuan, who originally had no intention of taking Yue Sheng and the others with him, asked curiously, "Why?"

Yue Sheng was silent for a moment and said:
"Boss, you already know about the situation in Caizheyuan.

Anyone who knows about the situation in the Caizheyuan, whether they are inside or outside the palace, will regard us as demons...

In the past, there was the Wuyou Palace and the entire Caizheyuan to support it, so there was nothing to worry about.

But now, we are afraid that after you leave, we will die in obscurity."

Having said this, Yue Sheng paused and said:

“It is also possible that it will disappear silently… There is no force that does not covet the means that the Caizheyuan possesses.

In the past, no one dared to do this because of the Wuyou Palace.

But now, I think there are definitely many people who have this thought.”

At this point, Yue Sheng suddenly sighed and said:
“With the death of the dean, the inheritance of Caizheyuan has been cut off.

...Except for some treatment methods that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, we can't offer anything else.

But do others think so? "

Geng Xuan thought to himself, this alone is already very attractive.

Thinking this way, he stared at Yue Sheng for a long time before asking:

"With Captain Xue and the ancestors of the Xu family here, what do you have to worry about?"

Yue Sheng was silent.

He did not give any clear answer to this question, but it was easy for Geng Xuan to understand what he did not say.

These "insiders" are also the reason why Yue Sheng and his companions feel worried.

In short, now they can't trust anyone except their master "Su Ruiliang".

Yue Sheng said: "Boss, you still have many followers in Qingyuanji, right?
I heard that they participated in a very large-scale battle, so there must be many seriously injured and disabled people.

If you take us with you, we have a way to make them recover quickly."

Geng Xuan, who already had a clear inclination in his mind, completely determined his attitude after hearing this.

"Okay, the five of you come with me."

Upon hearing this, Yue Sheng finally smiled and looked relieved.

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Boss, how do you plan to accommodate Miss Caihui? Do you want to take her with you on the journey?"

Geng Xuan was stunned. "Who is Miss Caihui? Why should I bring her with me?"

Yue Sheng was stunned. Under Geng Xuan's gaze, he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Geng Xuan's reaction was not slow either. After a moment of subconscious surprise, he suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, and he said softly:
"Su Xuan'er's daughter?"

"Yeah." Yue Sheng said.

Geng Xuan nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What's her last name? Do you know?"

"Her surname is Yang, and her name is Yang Caihui." Yue Sheng said.

"...How is she now?" Geng Xuan asked.

“She is still in a coma… although she can be forcibly awakened now.

However, people who have undergone organ replacements are very weak, and now is the critical period for the body and these organs to accept each other.

The effect is best when you are drowsy.

If I wake up, the physical pain and drastic changes in my emotions will bring about some bad changes."

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Then let her continue to sleep and don't wake her up by force."

At this point, he thought for a moment and said, "Take me to see it."

"Yes."

Yue Sheng responded and led Geng Xuan towards the "operating area".

When he reached a door, Yue Sheng suddenly remembered something and said:
"Boss, Miss Caihui is now placed in this room.

Besides her, there were two other girls of the same age as her."

Geng Xuan was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Are they all the 'lucky ones' who survived the ritual?"

In the Caizheyuan, there were originally 3,600 "recipients" who were undergoing the "genius ceremony" of "true nine-life risk".

In addition to dealing with all the adult "recipients" without waiting for the ceremony to end, the 530 underage Geng Xuan did not forcibly interrupt the ceremony.

——After the ceremony is interrupted, the ten people whose life energy was stimulated by the "Life Collection Technique" and "Dismemberment Technique" will die. Only by waiting for the ceremony to end naturally can one of them live a "second life" by virtue of the death of the other nine people.

When Geng Xuan entered Caizheyuan for the first time, the ceremony in some rooms had already been completed and the results were out.

Now, more than a day has passed.

All other unfinished ceremonies have been completed, and all have definite results.

Those with disabilities, in accordance with Geng Xuan's requirements, used ready-made "materials" and were operated on by Yue Sheng and others to undergo restorative surgeries such as reattaching severed limbs.

At this moment, when asked by Geng Xuan, Yue Sheng replied:
"One is, and the other is like Miss Caihui, both of them are from the inner court."

While answering, Yue Sheng pushed open the door.

"Being from the Inner Palace?"

Geng Xuan was surprised and asked, "What kind of person would accept a disabled person with broken arms and legs?"

The Neiweiyuan is used to train "professionals" for brothels and the mansions of wealthy families.

There must be a demand in this regard, for the Inner Court to have this practice.

That's why Geng Xuan was surprised.

He felt that his knowledge was being forcibly expanded when he was least prepared.

Yue Sheng shook his head and said, "It's not the broken arms and legs, it's the broken tongue."

"Ah? Mute?" Geng Xuan was surprised, then he understood.

Yue Sheng, who had already entered the room, nodded and replied, "Yes."

He pointed to a skinny girl lying on a bed near the door, who didn't look like a girl, and said, "That's her."

As he spoke, he walked towards the second bed without stopping and stopped beside it.

Geng Xuan stopped in front of the first bed.

He looked at the child lying on the bed and was very surprised.

"It's actually him...Oh, her!"

Geng Xuan felt it was a little unbelievable, but soon, his mind quickly turned and he strung together the "threads" behind him. He felt that although the scene in front of him was a bit coincidental, it was not too surprising.

At first glance, Geng Xuan did not recognize the figure lying on the first bed.

He didn't think he'd ever know her.

Before coming to Yuanjing this time, his range of activities was very limited, and he had never come into contact with many children of his age.

It was not until he casually glanced at it that the overall image that remained in his eyes gave him a faint sense of familiarity.

But Geng Xuan didn't think much about it.

Until his eyes swept across the red name above her head...

Oh, red name?

No red names!

The top of this child's head is as clean as Chen Xiaoyu's.

Compared to Chen Xiaoyu, who is younger and under the protection of his family, it is undoubtedly more rare for him to be able to do this in a "devil's den" like Wuyou Palace.

Then, a very distant memory emerged in Geng Xuan's mind.

That was half a year ago, when Geng Xuan had just come into this world.

On the long street of Kangleji, there was once a little beggar who was as dirty as a mud monkey and whose tongue was cut off at the root, obviously by a sharp weapon.

Geng Xuan, who was also short of money at the time, even packed a meal for her.

——At that time, Geng Xuan had no idea that this was a girl.

"It's actually her."

With such emotion in his heart, Geng Xuan walked to the second bed, looked at the unconscious girl, and confirmed her condition.

After a moment, he said to Yue Sheng, "Take her with you."

Although, everyone now knows that this "Su Ruiliang" is not the real Su Ruiliang.

But Geng Xuan still felt that it was a bit inappropriate to leave the real Su Ruiliang's granddaughter here.

What's more, Yuanjing is clearly showing signs of becoming the eye of the storm.

So, after thinking for a moment, Geng Xuan decided to take her away.

"Yes." Yue Sheng replied.

Geng Xuan looked at the "old friend" who was sleeping on the first bed and said, "Take her with you."

"...Yes." Although a little surprised, Yue Sheng didn't think much about it and agreed directly.

As he spoke, he looked at the third bed at the innermost side and asked, "Is she going to be taken away too?"

Geng Xuan shook his head: "No, just the two of them. Xue Zhiheng and the others can take care of them."

Having said that, Geng Xuan left the room.

……

An hour later.

The gate of the Acropolis of Sanssouci Palace.

One hundred Xuanyou horses lined up in a long and neat queue, and the tightly closed city gate was slowly opening.

Geng Xuan rode on the Xuanyou horse in the front.

And right in front of him, two petite figures were lying on a specially made, cushioned bed.

The reason why they were not placed alone was that when the Xuanyou horse was running fast, the horse's back would be extremely bumpy, which was very dangerous given their current condition.

He has mastered the "horse-judging technique" to perfection, and can keep the Xuanyou horse in the most stable state while running at top speed.

When there are occasional bumps, he can also know in advance and take appropriate actions to alleviate them.

——The reason why we don’t use horse-drawn carriages is because they are too slow and would become a burden.

Behind him was Guo Zian and seven other members of the Guo family.

These were all summoned from Yuanjing by Guo Zian during this day. According to him, these were the most outstanding and most excellent children of the Guo family in engineering construction.

Following them were Yue Sheng and five others who came from Caizheyuan.

At the end were Qu Qingfeng and 35 other outstanding students from the pigeon training academy.

After the city gate was opened, Geng Xuan said to Xue Zhiheng and the others:
"If you have anything, send me a message."

After saying this, he left the city first, ignoring everyone's reluctant gazes. (End of this chapter)
