"Comparatively speaking, Song Zu's giving up military power with a toast is probably the softest way to manipulate the emperor's power."

"When the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. Since ancient times, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Ministers should be wary of their achievements becoming too great and threatening the emperor."

"Our Han ancestors figured out this truth a long time ago. Minmin, you're incredibly talented and have a deep understanding of Han culture. How could you possibly not understand it?"

With every word Li Yu spoke, Zhao Min's face turned paler. In the end, she fell into deep self-doubt.

Is it really necessary to fight to clean up the martial arts world and overthrow the Ming Dynasty?

Will it be a glorious path to supreme glory, or will it be as foolish as a moth flying into a flame?

Zhao Min was confused.

Li Yu walked over and let her weak body lean gently on him: "In fact, it's not that you haven't considered this issue, but you just ignored it later."

"You overlooked that a month ago, with the death of the old emperor and the ascension of the new emperor, the situation in the Yuan Dynasty had already changed."

Zhao Min was a very smart person. She was confused by the situation before, but after Li Yu pointed it out, she immediately reacted.

As Li Yu said, she had considered this issue when she decided to serve the country.

But the one sitting on the throne at that time was still the talented, pioneering and enterprising hero of the grassland.

That person's vision is no longer limited to one place or one country. What's the big deal about taking over the Ming Dynasty?

Her father, Prince Ruyang, was a very talented military commander. He would never lose the big picture while picking up sesame seeds, and his true intentions would be exposed all at once.

Even if we want to burn the bridge after crossing it, we have to wait until he realizes his ambitions and unifies the Central Plains.

And how long will that take?

I'm afraid Prince Ruyang has already retired and died of old age!

In this way, there is no need to worry about being purged due to being too successful.

And Zhao Min, no matter how smart she is, is just a woman and will eventually get married, so there is nothing to worry about.

So Zhao Min was not worried at that time.

But a while ago, she was busy outside scheming against the Ming Cult and the six major sects, working so hard that she temporarily ignored the virtues of the new Yuan Emperor.

What a rotten fellow that guy was was no secret before he ascended the throne.

He was addicted to alcohol and sex, and was stupid and incompetent.

Look, only one month has passed since the change of government, and the government power has been firmly controlled by the treacherous prime minister. Important official positions are filled by nepotism, and officials are in collusion and working together.

With such a idiot emperor who only knows how to enjoy himself sitting on top of their heads, if one day the father and daughter really destroy the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yuan might even think that they are looking for trouble.

Even if Emperor Yuan rewards them according to their merits, he won't do anything to them, but what about those treacherous ministers?

Will you watch them enjoy the fruits of victory and show off their power everywhere?

Absolutely not!

With the father and daughter there to contrast with each other, wouldn't those treacherous ministers seem useless?

By then, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks will come up.

Throwing dirty water on others and making false accusations have long been common tactics used by the court to engage in dirty power struggles.

Zhao Min was clever and resourceful, and had a long-term vision. If she thought about it carefully at this moment, she could basically foresee the future scene, and she was immediately horrified.

Li Yu struck while the iron was hot and said, "Minmin, I know you still can't make up your mind."

"How about this, let's do a test and see what the Mongol Yuan Dynasty truly looks like?"

"If you are disappointed, come find me. I will be waiting for you all the time."

Zhao Min's eyes flickered as she asked curiously, "How do you test me?"

Li Yu smiled and whispered a few words into his ear.

The warm air flow gently blew on the earlobe, just like a strand of black hair teasing the tip of her heart, making her feel itchy, and the girl couldn't help but blush.

A strange feeling enveloped my heart.

However, as Li Yu spoke, Zhao Min's expression kept changing and her eyes flickered.

Until Li Yu stopped talking, Zhao Min carefully reviewed the entire plan, thought about it, and finally nodded.

Li Yu was determined in his heart and said with a smile: "Okay, now that I have decided, I will remove a nail for Minmin first."

Zhao Min suddenly looked up and frowned, "What do you mean?"

Li Yu looked outside the door and said, "Call the bitter monk up first."

Zhao Min didn't hesitate and said, "Master Ku, come up!"

Ku Tou Tuo had been waiting downstairs for a long time.

He thought about informing the Ming Cult immediately, but he was not sure how long Zhao Min would stay with Li Yu.

It would be bad if it was over and the other person was not there.

He knew very well how smart Princess Shaomin was and must not make any mistakes.

Therefore, he decided to be patient and pass on the message when he returned.

Suddenly hearing Zhao Min calling him, Ku Tou Tuo gathered his thoughts and walked to Room No. 1 as if nothing had happened.

Seeing the two pairs of bright eyes opposite him, Ku Tou Tuo's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.

However, before he could think about it, he found that Li Yu moved, leaving behind a trail of afterimage, and before he could react, he pressed his acupoints.

Li Yu crossed his arms and said to Zhao Min, "Minmin, guess who this person is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ku Tou Tuo's pupils suddenly shrank, and a storm of emotions rose in his heart.

He found it!

Did he find out?!

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Ku Tou Tuo believed that if he became like this, even if he took off his mask and stood in front of Yang Xiao and others, they would not be able to recognize him.

This is a secret that only he knows, and even the most powerful intelligence network cannot find it out.

Ku Tou Tuo was trying frantically to convince herself, but when Zhao Min heard this, her pretty face immediately darkened.

Li Yu's words were very clear, this Master Ku was the spy undercover beside her!

spy……

Zhao Min shuddered suddenly and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

She regarded Ku Tou Tuo as her confidant and asked him for martial arts advice many times. If Ku Tou Tuo had taken the opportunity to attack her, even the two Xuanming Elders would not have been able to save her in time.

Knowing that there was such a huge hidden danger around her, Zhao Min was immediately frightened.

She looked at Ku Tou Tuo carefully, even not sparing the scars that usually looked scary.

However, a name or information kept flashing in my mind, but I still couldn't find an answer that matched the characteristics.

"Since this person is willing to disfigure himself and go undercover in the palace, and he has the cultivation level of an early Grandmaster, he is definitely not an unknown person. On the contrary, many people must know him. Who could he be in the Ming martial arts world?"

Zhao Min thought hard but to no avail, and finally turned her questioning gaze to Li Yu.

Li Yu stepped forward, looked at the bitter monk and said, "...Fan Yao, the Right Envoy of the Ming Cult, you only hurt your throat by swallowing charcoal, it's not like you can't speak. Why don't you say hello to the princess?"

“Fan Yao! Fan Yao from the Second Immortal Xiaoyao?!”④

Zhao Min exclaimed, looking at Ku Tou Tuo in disbelief.

Xiaoyao Erxian was handsome and elegant, and was a famous handsome man in the Ming Dynasty. Now he has become such a horrible appearance!

Fan Yao also had an expression as if he had seen a ghost. He looked at Li Yu in astonishment and said in a hoarse voice: "You...how did you know? I have never revealed any flaws."

Li Yu did not answer, but just said to himself: "When Yang Dingtian suddenly disappeared, the top leaders of the Ming Cult fought among themselves for the position of leader."

"Fan Yao was the only one who remained convinced that the leader was still alive, and so he searched everywhere for his whereabouts."

"Over the course of several years, he suspected many people, secretly arrested them, and tortured them for interrogation."

"However, not only did they fail to uncover any clues, but they also killed many innocent people."

"One day, he happened to see Cheng Kun in the busy streets of Dadu and was surprised."

"Thinking back to what I've heard, many skilled warriors in the martial arts world have been murdered, and the words 'The murderer was Cheng Kun, the Master of the Chaos Element Thunderbolt Hand,' are often left on the walls. I'm starting to get suspicious."

"He wanted to find out the truth of the matter and to inquire about the whereabouts of Master Yang from Cheng Kun, so he followed from a distance, only to discover that Cheng Kun was meeting with the two Xuanming Elders."

"Because of Cheng Kun's powerful martial arts, I didn't dare to get too close, so I could only vaguely hear a few words."

"But... the words 'Guangmingding must be destroyed' were clearly heard."

"Fan Yao heard that our sect was in trouble and could not stand idly by, so he followed in secret."

(Amazing) "He first watched the three of them enter the Ruyang Palace, and later found out that the two Xuanming Elders were the top warriors under the Ruyang Prince."

"Fan Yao continued to inquire secretly and learned that Prince Ruyang intended to plot against the Ming martial arts world and, following Cheng Kun's plan, planned to eliminate the Ming Cult first."

"At that time, the Ming Cult was facing internal and external troubles. Fan Yao was very anxious, so he wanted to go undercover in the palace and wait for an opportunity to rescue them."

"However, Cheng Kun recognized him, so he had to be eliminated. Moreover, Fan Yao also deeply hated this fellow who had a deep connection with the Ming Cult and was a traitor."

"So Fan Yao plotted against Cheng Kun three times in succession, but unfortunately Cheng Kun was cunning and alert, so he failed every time."

"In desperation, Fan Yao gritted his teeth, disfigured himself, and disguised himself as a monk with hair. He even dyed his hair with drugs. After a series of schemes, he finally sneaked into the palace and ended up by your side, Minmin."

Zhao Min suddenly realized what was going on and felt shocked, frightened and extremely angry.

She thought she was extremely smart, but she didn't expect that someone would be undercover next to her without her knowing.

This is simply an insult to her intelligence!

However, Fan Yao was a hundred times more shocked than her at this moment.

Because what Li Yu said was exactly right, as if the other party was watching him in secret at that time, indifferent to his actions like a god.

Fan Yao's voice trembled: "Are you... a human or a ghost?!"

Li Yu grinned, revealing a smile that he thought was very kind: "What do you think?"

Fan Yao's mind was confused, and only one thought remained in his mind.

Finished!
