Feixue Tower.

Xiao Yan, who was taller than an ordinary man, stood in front of the window and once again looked at the dusk covering Yanping City and the lights in the houses on both sides of the bustling long street.

Her bright eyes became clearer and sharper, which added a bit of heroism to her handsome face. There were no lights in the room, and her eyes shone like obsidian in the dim candlelight emanating from nearby.

The white-browed old man pushed open the door and entered.

The dark room did not make him feel uncomfortable. When sunset came, the princess would not light the candle immediately. She liked to quietly watch the darkness swallowing up her surroundings, being in it silently and motionless.

This is something he has long been accustomed to.

The princess said that at this time, her thinking is the clearest and calmest.

Standing in a black room, looking out the window at the bright world with bright lights, as bright as day, Xiao Yan's tall but thin back, in the eyes of the white-browed old man, is full of loneliness.

One day, if the princess can walk out of the muddy darkness and walk into the brilliant lights in front of her, laughing openly and without scruples, that is the white-browed old man's greatest hope.

Before the white-browed old man could speak, Xiao Yan's calm voice sounded: "Are all the people from all sides ready?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, according to the plan we agreed upon before, both our people and those in the Southern Dynasty who were bribed by us are all in place. As long as His Highness gives the order, the operation will begin immediately!"

The white-browed old man lowered his head and answered with a respectful tone and a humble attitude.

Although his cultivation level is higher than Xiao Yan's, he has sincere admiration for the master in front of him.

This is a story about the ambition and hegemony of the Tianyuan Royal Court, and for every shepherd of the Tianyuan tribe to be able to take over the fertile land of the Central Plains and have a better life, and is willing to give up the comfortable and wealthy life of a princess in the royal court, risking many dangers in the Southern Dynasties

A tribal hero who is carefully lurking in the capital and planning many matters.

For the sake of the other party, the white-browed old man would go through life and death without frowning.

As a brave and proficient warrior of the Tianyuan tribe, in order to restore the unparalleled glory of the tribe in the past and create more glorious tribal achievements, he followed the heroes, fought side by side with the heroes, shed his blood for the heroes, and even shrouded his corpse in horse leather.

This is the greatest honor that the white-browed old man has pursued in his life.

"Then just wait for the scheduled time to arrive. Once the time arrives, all parties will act immediately according to the arrangements, and there is no need to ask me for instructions."

Xiao Yan's voice is steady and powerful, with an indescribable confidence.

In order to destroy the first-level building tonight, in order to cooperate with the Daqi clan to overthrow the Zhao family - to remove this first stumbling block for the Tianyuan Royal Court's army to march south, she has been preparing for long enough and planning enough.

Everything has been done before today.

Tonight is her harvest moment.

...

Prime Minister's Mansion, Tingzhuyuan.

Zhao Yujie is painting.

She is very focused, and her eyebrows are full of solemnity, as if one wrong stroke will cause her life to collapse.

It is precisely because of this seriousness and unparalleled talent that even though she has only been learning painting for a short time, her paintings of cranes are already quite skillful.

When she put down the brush, Xiaodie, the maid who was waiting carefully beside her, immediately stepped forward to wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.

Glancing out of the window, Zhao Yujie realized that the night had filled the courtyard at some point.

After taking a look at her painting, Zhao Yujie was very satisfied. This was the culmination of her hard work during this period, and the level was higher than any of her previous works. If Xu Mingliang saw it, he would be very happy and admire it.

The original intention of learning painting was to please Xu Minglang, but in the process of learning, Zhao Yujie also had a lot of fun. Just like playing piano, chess, and poetry, every time she learned something, she would like it.

I like it because Zhao Yujie has known since she was a child that these are elegant things that are highly sought after by the world. Those who are truly wealthy and outstanding are enthusiastic about them.

Those who are well versed in this way will be praised for their grace and grace for a long time.

Everyone does not like beautiful and exquisite things. It is also human instinct to pursue higher things.

Zhao Yujie has longed for this.

When she was at the Zhenguo Palace before, because the Zhao family was a general, the young disciples knew how to compete in martial arts. They were beaten all day long until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. The clan members also talked about the art of war, which made her sleepy.

Now it's different. After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion and entering a scholar's family, Zhao Yujie can finally pursue these things to her heart's content.

She felt a hint of happiness.

This makes her feel that the world is not so annoying.

If a person never feels happiness in her heart while she is alive, then the world will have no place worth remembering for her, and life will lose its meaning.

The happiness that playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting brings to Zhao Yujie is second only to her commanding her own wings through life and death.

"Miss's crane painting is so beautiful that the slaves can't bear to take their eyes away. It's exactly the same as Miss's charm. Oh, it's true, Miss's painting skills are so amazing!" Xiaodie's eyes were full of admiration for Zhao Yujie.

Anyone would feel happy after being flattered to the point of being flattered, and Zhao Yujie was no exception, with a heartfelt and self-satisfied smile on her face.

But the next moment, her eyes darkened without warning, "Burn it."

Hearing this, the newly favored maid Xiaodie opened her mouth in surprise, "Miss, how could you give up such a good painting..."

When she said this, she suddenly covered her mouth because she had already thought that Zhao Yujie never liked to repeat her orders a second time.

And the maid who needs Zhao Yujie to repeat her orders is not only stupid but stupid in her eyes, and she will definitely never be close to or trusted again.

Watching Xiaodie light a pot of fire and put the crane picture that had not been completely dried out into it, and turn it into ashes. Zhao Yujie, who was sitting on the chair, did not feel any nostalgia or pity.

She has always known that neither tea ceremony nor chess, calligraphy and painting are the foundation for her to settle down in this life. She can pursue it and like it, but she must not indulge in it. Losing one's ambition by playing with things is the biggest taboo.

Therefore, the more Zhao Yujie likes his painting, the more he wants to burn it as soon as possible.

From the beginning to the end, the core of Zhao Yujie's lifelong pursuit has been to be a master, to be the one who gives orders, to be the strongest person in the world who has no one above her who can influence her destiny, who can yell at her and make her swallow her anger.

Poems and songs, Xiaodaoer.

"What's the current situation of the manpower that will be dispatched tonight? Is there any unusual movement?" Zhao Yujie asked the maid outside the door in a cold voice.

This is the sixth time she has asked similar questions today. Although things have been arranged long ago, she still arranged for someone to report back once an hour. She does not want any accidents to happen, so she must grasp the situation in real time.

Even if such a report seems redundant, if it happens too often, people below will report some issues that would not have been taken seriously originally, which will help her understand the situation in a timely manner and respond to it.

"Miss, everything is normal. As soon as the time comes, everyone can set off immediately." The maid outside the door came in to report. Obviously, this maid was from the "Abyss", the Jianghu organization under her command.

Zhao Yujie nodded slightly.

In order to destroy Yipinlou and regain control of Yanping City's underground arena, Xiao Yan had already started making plans, and Zhao Yujie knew about this.

Today is the day when the clan launches an attack on the Zhao family, so Xiao Yan chooses the date of action tonight in order to take advantage of this east wind to achieve her goal.

Previously, when Zhao Yujie passed on the news of Xu Mingliang's general attack on the Zhao family to Xiao Yan today, she also made some arrangements for the "abyss".

This turmoil is destined to be very turbulent. The power structure of Yanping City and even the Daqi Dynasty will usher in a major change. In such a situation, there will undoubtedly be many opportunities.

Zhao Yujie wants "Abyss" to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to maximize its own strength. Its main action is to take advantage of the chaos to seize the neighbors under the opponent's control when Xiao Yan is dealing with Yipinlou and the latter is defeated.

That is, it takes up space.

"Abyss" has always been under the protection of some of Xu's industries that she manages. This is not a long-term solution. "Abyss" will eventually grow and must find opportunities to develop.

Now the time has come.

Zhao Ning had done it twice before, and Zhao Yujie almost lost her life. This was a big ordeal for her. Whether she was beheaded by Zhao Ning in Daizhou or assassinated in the capital, it was a big setback.

.

The defeat was unclear the previous time.

This was a big blow to her.

But Zhao Yujie was not discouraged.

For a young man from an aristocratic family, failure to do three out of ten things is a reflection of his own incompetence, and he will no longer be valued by the family, and the consequences will be as serious as the sky falling.

For ordinary people, if five out of ten things fail, then life will inevitably suffer a major disaster, and the spirit of the person concerned may not be able to bear it.

But for Zhao Yujie, she had nothing since she was a child. She was dependent on her mother and struggled to survive like a cockroach in a difficult world. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, it was worth trying her best.

You must also try your best.

If you succeed once out of ten times and bring about a change in your life, then you can thank God.

For people who are struggling on the edge of life and death, as long as they don't die and can live on, there is no blow they can't bear.

For others, failure is suffering and suffering is sin. For Zhao Yujie, she doesn't feel it is so difficult at all because she has experienced too much and has long been used to it.

Whether it's fine wine, delicious food, or hardships, once you get used to it, it's just normal.

"If the Zhao family really falls this time, I will no longer have to live on pins and needles and can appear openly in front of others."

Thinking of this, Zhao Yujie secretly let out a sigh of relief, because she knew that her gaze would become extremely sharp and scary, so she chose to close her eyes and recited silently in her heart:

"Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning, you are going to die eventually. When the Zhao family collapses, I will definitely ask Old Gou Xu to help me chop off your head with my own hands to avenge the knife attack in Daizhou that day, and the murder on the street last year.

The opportunity to be hated by assassination!"

...

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the family members and causing unnecessary trouble, Zhao Ning and others tried their best to disguise themselves and conceal their whereabouts when they rushed to Dali Temple.

When we arrived at Dali Temple, many members of the Zhao clan had gathered here, shouting grievances at the gate and clamoring to see the minister of Dali Temple. They squeezed in and made a loud noise.

These are all cover-ups, the purpose is to deceive the family's eyes and ears.
