Linzhan Dynasty, Zhanjing.

Ten miles outside the city, in a mountain forest.

The lush canopy of trees blocks the sun, and the forest is dark and cool. The chirping of birds keeps ringing all around, which is somewhat profound.

At this moment, footsteps sounded not far away, breaking the silence in the forest.

A man in Chinese attire, accompanied by several strong guards, stepped on ankle-high weeds and fallen leaves and arrived at a huge camphor tree.

At this time, an old man was waiting under the camphor tree. His body was hunched over and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was dozing off.

But as soon as the man in rich clothes arrived, the stooped old man suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his turbid eyes, and then with a respectful face, he slowly raised his hands and said, "Sir, I have been waiting for you for a long time.

”

The man in rich clothes nodded and said, "I received news that Chai Jianyuan is about to die soon, and the country will be in chaos. This is a once-in-a-century opportunity!"

The hunchbacked old man nodded solemnly.

Indeed, the emperors of Dali throughout the dynasties have always worked hard to govern, and that is why there was such a prosperous dynasty. The only king who dared to act recklessly is the current emperor of Dali, Chai Jianyuan.

But now, before Dali has established a heir, Chai Jianyuan's condition has deteriorated rapidly, people's hearts are still uncertain, the prince will have different intentions, and trouble will arise.

At that time, it will be the Chixin Sect. There is no need to worry about strong enemies on your side, and you will try your best to seize the opportunity!

"Send a secret message and tell him that I am willing to cooperate with him and help him seize Dali!"

"And send dead soldiers to Dali to kill the alchemist who refined Jinchun Pills for Chai Jianyuan!"

"When the chaos in Dali begins, send lobbyists to Liukang to lobby Prime Minister Zhao!"

The man in rich clothes said steadily, sentence by sentence.

He wants the chaos in Dali to come faster and more violently!

We want the entire continent to be in chaos!

After hearing the arrangement of the man in rich clothes, the old man said respectfully, "Everyone at Chixin Sect will do their best to serve you!"

Squinting his eyes fiercely, the man in fine clothes said with deep expectation in his voice, "I have been lurking for several years, and now the time has come. I should finish my work in one battle!"

……

Dali Dynasty, Southern Territory.

In a city, in a luxurious mansion, in the study, a majestic middle-aged man put down the secret letter in his hand, his eyes slowly narrowed, and a trace of light was contained in it.

"Chai Jianyuan has been unfair to me, and now this is retribution. Since he is already half-disabled, I will protect Dali for him!" After saying this coldly, the middle-aged man picked up the pen and wrote two secret letters.

, and then shouted, "Here comes someone!"

Suddenly, a confidant standing outside the door walked in quickly.

"Send these two secret letters to Gu Yulan and Lin Jianzhong secretly. Remember not to let others know!"

The confidant quickly responded, took the secret letter, and walked out of the study quickly.

Watching his confidant leave, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly and began to ponder.

He knew that the purpose of Chixinmen was just to confuse Dali so that he could seize Linzhan.

As for him, he wants to seize Dali, and the other party wants to seize Linzhan. There is no conflict between the two, and there is nothing wrong with cooperating.

But the support from the Chixin Sect alone is of little use. He still lacks some capable people.

Gu Yulan and Lin Jianzhong, the first and second best generals of the younger generation in Dali, are worthy of his recruitment.

If you can recruit people under your command, the probability of achieving great things will increase significantly.

Next, it depends on whether these two people are willing to be loyal to themselves!

……

Dali Dynasty, Lidu.

Late at night, many cities and towns have quieted down, people are sleeping soundly, and there are few pedestrians on the road.

The neighborhood closest to the palace city is the most luxurious place in the entire capital, and the people living there are all high-ranking officials, nobles, or close ministers of the emperor.

Even wealthy businessmen with millions of dollars would find it difficult to buy a mansion here, no matter how rich they are but not famous.

Deep in the courtyard here, in a mansion, the master bedroom in the backyard is brightly lit. Instead of turning off the lights to sleep, the men's groans and the women's soft moans can be heard constantly.

Obviously, the owner of the mansion here is making little people overnight.

Or, just for fun.

There were several men living in the side rooms on both sides. They were young. When they heard the shouts coming from the master bedroom, they suddenly felt excited and found it difficult to fall asleep.

One of them was quite envious and couldn't help but mutter, "Master relied on Jin Chun Wan and was appreciated by His Majesty. He was named a fourth-grade official. He was highly sought after by hundreds of officials. He sent many maids as gifts and played and sang day and night. It's really enviable.

!"

"I wonder when the master will teach us how to make Jinchun Pills. If we learn it, we will be very successful in the future. We will have as many maids as we want!" Thinking of this, the young man was filled with excitement.

Suddenly, he heard a strange noise, as if something fell on the ground.

But immediately, he was distracted by the fierce fighting coming from the master bedroom.

At this time, there were already a dozen men in black standing in the front yard of the mansion, all of them strong and muscular, holding crossbows, carrying many arrows behind them, and carrying long knives on their waists, running quickly and silently.

Towards the backyard.

When I came to the backyard, I heard the sound of fighting in the master bedroom. The leader smiled coldly, raised his hand, and then clenched his fist violently, signaling to attack, leaving no one behind!

In an instant, many killers in black rushed to every room like wolves and tigers, kicked open the door with their feet, picked up their crossbows and started shooting wildly into the house!

The restless young men sleeping in the side room turned into hedgehogs before they could react. Their enthusiasm suddenly cooled down, and they could no longer die!

The same goes for the men and women in the master bedroom. On the occasion of joy, they were hit by several arrows at the same time, were nailed together, and ascended to heaven together!

……

It was daybreak, and the palace city was already in a state of panic.

In the dormitory, Chai Jianyuan, who had just woken up and taken a Jinchun Pill before washing up, was stunned when he learned the bad news that the alchemist had been assassinated. His face turned pale, as if the sky was about to collapse!

In the entire Dali, there was only an alchemist who could refine this elixir. Chai Jianyuan was worried that the medicine would be lost, so he asked the alchemist to recruit his apprentices and teach them, so as to pass on the refining method of this elixir.

The alchemist obeyed the order and accepted many disciples. However, several months have passed and no one has learned it. The alchemist's explanation for this is that it is not easy to refine this elixir and requires a long time to learn.

Hearing this, Chai Jianyuan didn't urge him, but he didn't expect that the alchemist died before anyone learned it!

Who is it!

Who killed it?

Chai Jianyuan was furious and shouted, "Come here, Xuan Ji is brought to the palace!"

Although he was weak, Chai Jianyuan's face was full of resentment at the moment, and there was a terrifying murderous intent in his eyes, which made many eunuchs and maids horrified and their hearts trembled!

A eunuch responded quickly and hurriedly ran out of the palace to deliver the order.

Not long after, Ji Xian, who learned the news, hurried to the palace with a solemn face.

As the person in charge of off-grid, he has found out that the side effects of Jinchun Pill are extremely serious, which will make the user into a weak state and aggravate aging.

However, this medicine contains a lot of expensive medicinal materials and has a nourishing effect. Therefore, if you continue to take it, you can still breathe a sigh of relief. If you stop eating... the consequences will be disastrous!

But now, only the alchemist can refine this elixir, but he is dead... Ji Xian guessed that next, Dali is likely to change!

But before things change, Chai Jianyuan's hysteria will make the whole country tremble!

Quickly walking into the dormitory, Ji Xian did not dare to look at the angry-looking Chai Jianyuan and shouted, "Your Majesty."

Chai Jianyuan sat on the bedside, his face extremely dark, whether because he was filled with resentment or because he was terminally ill.

He roared, "Check it out for me and find out who killed the alchemist. No one who is suspected will be let go!"

Ji Xian shuddered and responded quickly, "Wei Chen understands, Wei Chen will definitely get to the bottom of it!"

……

Dali Dynasty, six cities in Jingjing.

In Liangcheng, which is seventy miles away from Dajingya City, the former city guard's mansion has been turned into the commander's mansion, and Gu Yulan lives in it.

She turned her bright eyes lightly and was looking at the military book when a guard ran in and said respectfully, "General, a man came outside the city and said that someone from the court sent a secret message, which must be opened by the general himself."

The soldiers in the city sent this letter to the general for review."

Gu Yulan was slightly surprised, but then she understood.

Someone wants to recruit her.

Although she was not interested in the situation in the Dali Dynasty, she knew that Chai Jianyuan was taking Jinchun Pills day and night, and ended up in a desperate situation.

A few days ago, the alchemist who refined Jinchun Pills died from an assassination. Chai Jianyuan was furious and jailed more than two hundred officials. Everyone in Lidu was in danger and all officials were frightened.

I never expected that Dali, which used to be extremely powerful, would become like this.

Shaking her head secretly, Gu Yulan didn't have much emotion. She wrote a letter and handed it to her bodyguard, saying, "Give this letter to the sender."

Her reply has been written in the letter.
