The red-clothed girl left King Ning's Estate and arrived at a secluded place.
This was a small courtyard on the south side of the city. She seemed to be very familiar with this place, so she quickly pushed open the door and entered the house.
Walking through the screen into the courtyard, he saw a middle-aged man in his fifties practicing his swordplay in the hall.
Each move of that sword seemed to carry a rhythm to it, but each move contained endless changes and killing intent. Seeing the woman in red arrive, the middle-aged man quickly stopped his sword and asked, "You're back?"
The woman in red nodded. "Master, you've improved in martial arts again?"
The middle-aged man revealed a faint smile, "Lan'er, why are you back?"
The woman in red's smile faded as she seriously said, "Master, I have something I don't understand. I'm here to seek guidance from you."
"What is it?"
The woman stepped forward and told the middle-aged man the whole story in detail.
The middle-aged man nodded again and again. After the woman finished talking, he had come up with a plan. Thus, he said, "Do you want to ask me who you want to rely on now?"
"That's what disciple meant."
"Ning Wang has already lost his power, the power within the imperial court is far from what it was before. And he's greedy and lustful, I don't recommend you to go with him, but King Xuan is smart enough, you can give it a try. "
The woman in red shook her head. "Even though King Xuan is resourceful, if it wasn't for him, Big Senior wouldn't have died at the hands of Xiao Tian Yuan. This disciple really can't take this lying down!"
"Lan, you're wrong!" The middle-aged man raised his head to look at the big tree in the courtyard, "Do you know why I have been practicing martial arts all these years?"
"Master has yet to take revenge for his great vengeance, so I do not dare to slack off."
"Then do you know who Master's enemy is?"
"The current emperor."
"It's good that you know this. Master has endured for so many years for the sole reason of wanting to overthrow this dog-emperor and rebuild our country." For us, the most important thing right now is to infiltrate into the side of the most powerful prince. As long as this prince has the chance to become the emperor, we will support him at all costs. When this prince obtains the throne, we will also be able to kill the dog emperor and establish the Ximi Kingdom! "
The woman nodded in realization. "I was too emotional and almost ruined Master's plan. I deserve to die!"
"You don't have to blame yourself. It's still too early. Since King Xuan has such power now, then go help him first. Remember not to reveal any clues!"
"Master is right." But disciple is truly not willing to face the death of eldest senior brother. This disciple will definitely take revenge! " The woman's eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness.
"Your eldest senior brother was killed by Xiao Tianyuan. Xiao Tianyuan's kung fu is high, even if you rashly attacked, I'm afraid you won't be able to succeed. Why are you in such a hurry?" The middle-aged man sighed and said earnestly, "Preserving one's strength is the most important thing to do right now. I, Xiao Tian Yuan, have my own ways to deal with it. Don't be too anxious!"
"Master, your disciple wants to personally deal with Xiao Tianyuan!" The woman's voice grew firmer.
The middle-aged man glanced at her: "Lan, are you sure you can deal with him?"
"Master, I, Nan Yu Lan, once swore to the heavens that I will definitely take revenge for eldest senior brother by Xiao Tian Yuan. You can leave this matter to disciple!" Nan Yulan answered firmly.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he pondered for a moment before saying, "This matter cannot be rushed. Your master is also very sad at the death of your eldest senior brother. Since you insist, it would be inconvenient for your master to say anything more. You should know."
"Thank you, Master." Nan Yulan's face finally broke into a smile.
The middle-aged man also smiled and then asked, "If you go against King Xuan now, then you're going against Ning Wang. How do you plan on explaining yourself to King Ning?"
"Ning Wang, this greedy pervert, has always harboured bad intentions towards this disciple. Since master has mentioned his name, then this disciple intends to get rid of Ning Wang." The woman in red's beautiful eyes were filled with determination.
"I'm afraid killing Ning Wang right now is not good. You just need to cripple him!"
"Master's words are correct. I know what to do now!" Nan Yulan smiled faintly. With this smile, her cold demeanor became amiable.
"It's good that you know this!" The middle-aged man paced around the courtyard. "Right now, King Xuan's influence is growing, but Prince Rong's power cannot be underestimated."
"Master, are you talking about Prince Rong? He's just like a cripple, what's there to be wary of? " Nan Yulan asked, puzzled.
"You don't know about this, but with the help of generals like Xiao Tian Yuan by the side of the Prince, although his physique is slightly weaker and not too outstanding amongst the princes, I feel that his scheming is probably above that of the other princes!" The middle-aged man thoughtfully replied. In the past few days, the sect's disciples had been ordered by Ning Wang to assassinate him, but none of them had succeeded. Furthermore, since the rebellion had been pacified, Prince Rong's achievements were not to be underestimated. In terms of strength, he might not be able to match up to King Xuan, but right now, he had already overshadowed King Ding.
"Master, your disciple still feels that Prince Rong is not the most powerful person in the court." As for King Xuan and King Ning, they were on par with each other. If the Emperor were to choose between the two of them, he would have to choose between the two! "So right now, your disciple's task is to first cripple Ning Wang, and then to assist King Xuan to eliminate King Ding. From then on, great achievements will be achieved!" Nan Yulan thought for a while, then told her the whole story.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he heavily nodded his head, "Mm, what you said makes sense." As he spoke, he took out a token from his chest pocket, "This is the token of our 'Thousand Revolution Sect' master. When the disciples saw this token, they immediately looked at it as if it was their own personal visit. I originally wanted to hand this token over to your senior brother, but he …" He then let out a low sigh, "Right now, you are Master's most capable disciple, so this thousand plate is yours. If you need the help of our sect's forces to help you, then with this medallion, you can dispatch your men at any time and do not need to report to me. "
Nan Yu Lan shook his head in fear: "How can I do that, how can I take Master's order badge?"
"If your eldest senior brother was here, I'm afraid it wouldn't be your turn." In the future, you can make all the major arrangements. During this period of time, I will return to the West Mi Country to arrange for the deployment of troops and gather some good news from your side. When that time comes, I will send troops to the south, destroy this Southern Champion Kingdom, and restore the appearance of the West Mi Country!
Twenty years ago, it invaded the south, and in one fell swoop, it was defeated by the south. From then on, it became a subordinate state, and it was sent troops to guard the west, where the master of the south was a descendant of the royal family of the west, the heart of the country had never stopped for twenty years. After all these preparations had been made, he decided to go back and gather his men.
