After the matter was finished, Lu Hanjiang was about to leave, but Meng Yuan stopped him, then took out a stack of letters and said, "I heard that you are looking for traces of Yanshi these days?"
Lu Hanjiang was stunned for a moment. Why did Mr. Meng also know about this trivial matter? He nodded and said, "I did ask Yan Qianhu of Yingtian Mansion to pay attention to something, but there is no news yet. How did you know about it, Uncle Meng?"
"It's not that there is no news, it's just that I intercepted all the letters from Yan Feng." Meng Yuan said, placing the stack of letters on the table.
"Why is this?" Lu Hanjiang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Could it be Yan Qianhu...?"
"Yan Feng is one of our own, you think too much."
Meng Yuan waved his hand and said, "I am holding back the letter from reading it because the time has not come yet. You don't need to check it. Master Yan is in Yingtian Mansion, right in the Ge family."
Lu Hanjiang was greatly puzzled and said, "Uncle Meng, what is so special about this Yanshi that even you have to give in?"
In terms of martial arts, Meng Yuan may not be the best in the world, but in the battle between rivers and lakes, one person's strength is ultimately powerless in the face of the coercion of an entire force.
Even the Xuantian Sect would face a dead end against the Jinyiwei. That Yanshi was just a layman, so how could He De allow Meng Yuan to be open to him?
Meng Yuan did not speak, but slowly scanned the surroundings with his eyes. Even in his own study room, he carefully confirmed that there were no walls around him before he spoke.
Meng Yuan did not answer Lu Hanjiang's question, but asked him another question first. He said: "Do you know why the imperial court and the Jinyi Guards let those big sects go as far as they can, even if they have to deal with a certain place?"
The forces are also using the opponent's flag to cover up."
Lu Hanjiang thought for a moment and said: "Temple rivers and lakes, well water does not interfere with river water. If all those rivers and lakes forces gather together, they will become a big force. The imperial court is worried that they will jump over the wall in a hurry."
"That's right," Meng Yuan stroked his beard and nodded, and said: "After all, the Jinyiwei is not strong enough to fight against the entire Jianghu. Even with all the imperial troops, these Jianghu people are naturally like mantises. But as long as they fail to eradicate the root of the trouble, all these troublesome knights will be wiped out.
If you are forced to become a bandit, then the world will really be in chaos."
What Meng Yuan said is also the consensus of everyone, so when dealing with the Jianghu forces, the Jinyiwei will inevitably be restrained. It is easier to deal with the Sanren, but if they attack those big forces, there will be annoying restrictions and taboos.
When Mr. Meng first dealt with the Xuantian Sect, he had already made preparations to summon the imperial army, but if he had really done so, the current world might not be able to maintain even this superficial calm.
In the final analysis, Jin Yiwei is still not strong enough. Even if they are alone one on one, no sect can be the enemy of Jin Yiwei. But if a group of rivers and lakes forces join together, then they can only stare at each other.
After shaking his head and sighing, Lu Hanjiang asked again: "Uncle Meng, what do you mean by this?"
"Since those big sects are so difficult to deal with, how do you think I managed to take down the Xiaoyao sect without anyone noticing?"
Meng Yuan's question made Lu Hanjiang fall into a brief thought. A flash of inspiration flashed, and Lu Hanjiang seemed to understand. He narrowed his eyes and said: "There is a traitor in the Xiaoyao Sect, and this traitor should have a high status."
Meng Yuan glanced at Lu Hanjiang with admiration and said: "The Xiaoyao Sect is also a major martial arts sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The martial arts are strange and powerful, and the traces of the mountain gate are hard to find. But no matter how many trump cards they hide, the person responsible for keeping these secrets will always be humans.
"
"Is Master Yan a protector of the Xiaoyao sect, or an elder?"
This really opened Lu Hanjiang's eyes. From top to bottom, from behavior to behavior, Xiaoyao Sect has brought him too many surprises.
But no matter what, he could not have imagined that the jaw-dropping secrets involved were far more than that.
After Meng Yuan concentrated for a moment, he slowly said: "Master Yan, he was born in the Xiaoyao Sect. No one knows his real name. Before wandering around the world in the name of Yanshi, he once served as the head of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Mingzi is his disciple."
"...Head of Xiaoyao Sect?"
Yanshi, Bei Mingzi's master, and the former head of Xiaoyao Sect. These series of names combined together really surprised Lu Hanjiang.
He had guessed countless Yanshi's identities, but he had never inferred him in this direction. After all, it seemed almost irrelevant and too outrageous.
"Wait a minute, Uncle Meng," Lu Hanjiang frowned and said in confusion: "If Master Yan is also a member of the Xiaoyao Sect and is the master of Bei Mingzi, why would he help Jin Yiwei deal with his own people?"
"To survive."
Meng Yuan was silent for a long time, then added: "For immortality."
"Master Yan also knows the secret of that jade stone?"
Lu Hanjiang's eyes became slightly serious. He always felt that there was something else going on here. Meng Yuan had been the commander of the Jinyi Guards for decades. He should know the reason why the minister was not secret and lost his identity. How could such a shocking secret leave a witness?
.
Don't make any jokes about keeping your word and keeping your promise. How can you talk about morality in this kind of thing? If you reason with Jin Yiwei, you have a problem.
"Not only does he know it, but he plans to try it himself."
As he spoke, Meng Yuan placed his palms on the pile of letters on the table. Under the powerful infuriating energy, the pile of letters quickly turned into a puddle of debris.
"Uncle Meng, why don't you kill him?" Lu Hanjiang couldn't figure out why Meng Yuan kept this scourge alive.
Meng Yuan first clenched his fists, and then slowly unclenched them. There seemed to be an unconcealable tiredness in his eyes. He said: "The most powerful thing about the Xiaoyao Sect is not its unparalleled martial arts, nor its unrivaled knowledge, but its unrivaled knowledge.
The ability to discern people’s hearts.”
Hearing this, Lu Hanjiang showed a strange expression, and Meng Yuan sighed and continued: "Master Yan guessed my mind and understood what I wanted, so he can live."
Lu Hanjiang was silent for a long time, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "So, I really want to meet this senior leader."
"There will be a chance."
Meng Yuan looked at him and said in a deep voice: "The reason why I tell you the secret is so that when the time is right, you can go to Yingtian Mansion and see in person whether Master Yan can live forever."
"Hoo ho."
With a strange laugh, Lu Hanjiang showed a fox-like smile: "They are all from the Xiaoyao sect. The method used by Yanshi should be the same as what Bei Mingzi presented to His Majesty. Since he can try it himself, it seems that the jade stone is a cover.
No doubt about it, right?"
Meng Yuan said calmly: "The jade is just an introduction. Even if it is not there, it will not have much impact."
Sure enough, the old emperor divided the jade into seven parts just to prevent it from happening, and he actually caught a group of remnants of the Xiaoyao sect, and... Whether the method of immortality is true or not, at least the content of this secret method, Mr. Meng
It must be crystal clear.
Lu Hanjiang clicked his tongue twice and said, "Uncle Meng, what should we do if Yanshi fails?"
"Of course I'll kill him." Meng Yuan didn't hesitate at all.
Lu Hanjiang nodded clearly and asked, "What if he succeeds?"
Meng Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly: "Then he deserves to die even more."
