Don’t test human nature, never do it – it is simply vulnerable.

After Wanjing moved away, Shanglinyuan became much deserted. Perhaps it wasn’t that it was deserted. Every day, there were singing and dancing to peace and prosperity. My heart was deserted because I felt a little empty.

Luo Yan is taking care of the matter in Chang'an City. She is not suitable for showing up now, so she can only command behind the scenes with a mask. Other forces know that we have a powerful planner, but they could not guess it was Luo Yan, because Luo Yan is in the Shen family in Jiangnan, and Luo Yan, played by Chuchu, will appear from time to time, make some noises.

Xiao Heer and Ji Qian have their own arrangements every day, either discussing to deal with the Xiang family or shopping. They are preparing to take the noble lady route, that is, the wives of the officials in Chang'an City. This is a huge group, and it will show amazing power to win over these people at the right time. Yin Xianhe is a competent bodyguard, and I am not worried about them.

News came from Jiangnan that the rectification of the Jianghuai Army had been over and was about to attack Luoyang City. There was the key point. The important forces of the Yingui Sect were all in Jiangnan. Zhu Yuyan personally took charge. This was a tough battle to lay the foundation of the Jianghuai Army. Success could lead at least half of the country, and failure would disappear in the long river of history.

This is how you fight for the world!

Nothing interesting happened during this period. The whole city of Chang'an was waiting for the princess' wedding in two months. Then when we left Chang'an, no matter who won, Chang'an was dangerous for us. Now we were able to chat and laugh here because of the delicate balance between the three brothers of the Li family.

"The news from Anlong said that Yang Xuyan and Dong Shuni were mingling in Luoyang, which may have an impact on our plan to assassinate Wang Shichong." Luo Yan worried, "Yang Xuyan disappeared after being framed by us. I think she is prepared for showing up this time."

Luo Yan was sorting out the information at hand, and then threw it into the incense burner after taking a look. The flames in the stove rolled up and swallowed the paper, then turned into a wisp of blue smoke, rising up.

"Aren't he afraid of Shi Zhixuan's pursuit?" I doubted, "Can he be able to achieve great success in his immortal seal? Does he have that good talent?"

"It's because he has a support and is not sure. It is said that the Ming Zun Cult is active frequently in Luoyang these days, and they have begun to attack An Long. When you asked An Long to take over the industry under the name of the True Pagoda in Luoyang, did you think of today and let Shi Zhixuan and his delegation dealt with the Ming Zun Cult?" Luo Yan gave me a blank look and chuckled.

"Ah, don't think I'm so sinister." I defended myself, "Anyway, An Long's foundation in Shuzhong is gone, so wouldn't it be better to give him a place to settle down? How could I know that the Ming Zun Sect is so bold that he dared to come to the Central Plains to cause trouble after offending the Holy Sect."

"The Ming Zun Cult is probably forced to do anything. They have not had a good life on the grassland. After finally taking root in Luoyang, they will definitely not let go easily. Besides, Wang Shichong is the atom of the previous generation of the Ming Zun Cult. Luoyang is a good place for them to expand their ecclesiastical crowds. They have begun to build temples and prepare to spread teachings openly." Luo Yan explained.

"It's just an extraterritorial cult, we don't need to take action. There is a Jingmin Zen Temple in Luoyang. Of course, Buddhism is also outside the realm, but the Taoist priests of Taoism will not let other religions grab food in their territory. It would be fun to Ning Daoqi go to smash the venue at that time." I thought.

"You think of Ning Zhenren like a gangster in the martial arts world. If those righteous people hear it, they will be circulated again." Luo Yan said angrily.

"What's the matter? I dare to say it in front of him." I said arrogantly, "Bi Xuan is so powerful, that's also the three great masters. I remember that I was in front of Bi Xuan back then..."

"Why did I hear you fell off the horse because you were scared?" Luo Yan joked.

"That, that was purely accidental, it was the problem of the horse. It was because it was scared and fell down. I followed it to prevent the horse from hurting it. I was trying to protect the animals." I argued, "The main reason is that I was not nervous at all when I stood in front of him. I told him...what I said that at that time? Let me think about it..."

"You said you wanted to fight with you and passed Ning Doqi's level first." Luo Yan added, "Do you know how angry this sentence made Yin Queen? You lost all the face of the Holy Sect. When did the Holy Sect need Ning Doqi to support the scene? I heard that Zhao Deyan blushed at that time. Fortunately, Shi Zhixuan was not present, otherwise..."

"I, I'm not trying to provoke Ning Daoqi and Bi Xuan, this is called wisdom." I said embarrassedly, "I said you girls don't just talk about these things when you are together. You should talk about some fashionable topics and don't always talk about gossip, such as elegant art, etc."

"Your elegant art has been moved away, and that's what your elegant art said in person." Luo Yan slammed, "Otherwise, how could I know what was going on at that time."

"Uh, Shang Xiufang?" I said in surprise, "She doesn't look like a chat person. I thought it was said by the little girl who returned to Goryeo."

"That's because you don't understand. Women only pretend to behave in front of men she cares about. If she doesn't care about who you are, she will be lazy to care about who you are." Luo Yan said angrily, "Shang everyone is also a woman, a very interesting woman. Sometimes you really can't look at people."

"No wonder I feel a little strange. By the way, what do she usually say?" I said curiously.

"I remember someone just said not to talk about gossip..." Luo Yan looked memory-like.

"That... how is Xiao He'er and the others going?" I changed the subject.

"Don't you see her every day? Ask her by yourself." Luo Yan said lightly.

I realized that I had made a mistake and could not show curiosity towards another woman in front of one woman, but I was not wary of Luo Yan, so I asked casually that she was one of the few people in this world who could fully believe in it. Of course, this mistake needs to be remedied.

"Stop tidying up, take a break!" I walked behind Luo Yan and hugged her gently, "We two are here tonight..."

Before I finished speaking, I heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside, which made my heart tighten. This was the quietest place in Shanglinyuan, and only our own people could enter, but this sound... I sat aside and looked at the door with Luo Yan.

"Brother, brother, it's not good!" Xiao He'er's voice sounded.

When the door opened, Xiao Heer hurried over, his face covered in sweat, and he looked very nervous.

"Don't worry, what's wrong?" I asked calmly.

"Bi, Bi Xuan is here." Xiao He'er gasped.

"He's here, come. Why are you so excited to do? Do you admire him very much?" I said disapprovingly.

"No, it's him who wants to challenge you!" Xiao He'er said in a panic look on his face.
