Chapter 165 - 165: 129: Fond of Teaching Others_2

This sacred woman was well aware of her own abilities. Although her special Ten Thousand Poison Body bestowed her with a certain advantage among the

Inborn,

She didn’t deceive herself into thinking that she, a novice who had only broken through a few years ago, could directly confront and kill an old master who had been famous for decades.

Lan Zhaoyun said: “Of course, I understand this point, which is why we are not planning for you to act alone. My father intends to send someone to form an alliance with that Qiang Ethnic Emperor in Xi Shu.

This time Bai Mengyang is going after the opposition directly. We do not want our plans for rebirth to fail, and even more so, he does not want to lose his life and his country.

Hence, it will involve you and Li Xiong working together. Our two families will send out our strongest fighters to surround and kill the grandmaster of  Dongting county together.

With such combined force and their lack of preparation, there is a high probability of success.”

Lan Cai’er contemplated for a while and then nodded: “If that’s the case, we might be able to succeed.” She then added,” Father, have you already contacted Li Xiong?”

Lan Zhaoyun shook his head: “The situation arose suddenly. I just heard the news and planed to discuss with you before sending someone to Xi Shu.”

Lan Cai’er said: “Then go ahead, Father, and send someone to do so. After all, I’m going up against a seasoned grandmaster, so it wouldn’t be that easy to kill him. In the coming days, I will also have to make some arrangements and preparations.”

“Alright, that’s settled then. I’ll send someone to connect with Xi Shu immediately.”

Seeing his daughter agreeing with his plan, Lan Zhaoyun felt relieved and promptly left in high spirits.

Li Xiong now is, after all, an emperor of a nation. Even though he leads a puppet government, he is begrudgingly considered to be of great worth.

However, persuading him to risk taking part in an assassination plan along with the Poison Sect wasn’t going to be easy.

Oratory skills were going to come to the fore.

After finalizing the plan, Lan Cai’er continued to practice the Sacred Insect Technique in meditation, preparing for the imminent assassination plot.

Lan Zhaoyun, accompanied by two subordinates, left on his journey.

After leaving the Sacred Insect Forest and returning to the main hall, Sect Leader Lan and the Left Protector responsible for foreign affairs began their discussion. They prepared to send him to Xi Shu as the messenger to reach out to Li Xiong.

However, before they managed to sort out a plan of action, an elder responsible for foreign affairs led a man inside.

“King of Anyang of Dachu, General Li Shou, salutes Sect Leader Lan.”

In the main hall, a man dressed in purple, whose features were slightly different from those of the Yue people but who possessed extraordinary valour, presented a brief salute to Lan Zhaoyun.

“You are Li Xiong’s younger brother, aren’t you?” Lan Zhaoyun, sitting on his leader’s chair, looked at the heroic man standing before him and reiterated his query.

He had never expected that while they were making plans to seek Xi Shu, the latter had already made a move ahead of them and sent their messenger.

‘Indeed, the one who’s hard hit is in a hurry. Clearly, in this round of negotiations, I will have the upper hand.’ These thoughts sparked a trace of a smile in the eyes of Sect Leader Lan.

“My brother has already become the Emperor of Shu State.”

Seeing his country’s ruler being called by name, Li Shou puts emphasis on one point but did not dwell further. He promptly nodded and said, “However, I indeed am his younger brother, King of Anyang of Dachu, and the General.”

“Alright, then he is the Emperor of Shu State.” Though he didn’t think too highly of the makeshift government, considering their prospective alliance, Lan Zhaoyun reluctantly offered his respect by calling him Emperor, then asked, “So, King of Anyang of Shu State, what brings you to me?”

“I came to save your Sect,” Li Shinned spoke candidly and provocatively.

But with his words barely out of his mouth, Li Shou noticed the elders of the Five Poison Sect changing expressions. However, the sect leader above still smiled amiably at him without uttering a word.

Realizing he was dealing with an old fox, Li Shou’s preemptive strike didn’t work. So he had to bluntly state, “I believe the sect leader must have heard the news that the Southern Expedition Army will soon move towards Dongting County, and its commander is none other than Bai Mengyang?”

Lan Zhaoyun gave a slight nod: “I have indeed heard of this.”

Li Shou said, “I understand that in the past few years, your sect has secretly incited local Miao people to attack prefectures and counties. Although carried out covertly, it won’t escape the attention of the Yue officials.

Previously, the Yue people were troubled by wars on all fronts and couldn’t handle it, so they turned a blind eye and endured it.

But now, Jinghai in the Southern Border has been destroyed, the Yue people have freed their hands, ready to attack my country.

Though my Dachu is newly established with only one county, we have no intentions of submitting and will resist till the end.

However, the tide of war may be difficult to turn, and my country may not remain immune.

When my country is destroyed, the Yue People’s Court, bearing in mind the actions of your sect, would they keep you out of their crosshairs after they have subjugated us?”

Slightly touched by the words of Li Shou, Sect Leader Lan took them seriously,

“What is your suggestion?”

Li Shou smiled and said, “My Emperor…”

In the hall, a secret conspiracy for an alliance was in progress.

In a blink of an eye, the New Year had passed.

Lu Yuan fawned another New Year’s Eve dinner at the Sun Family.

However, compared to previous years, this New Year’s Eve dinner appeared to be happier and warmer.

The reason was simple. After several months of trying, Cui Wenxiu was pregnant.

The pregnancy had just been confirmed a few days before.

Over the next couple of days, Cui Wenxiu became the most cherished member of the Sun Family, and not just the Sun Family, but the Cui Family as well.

Lady Cui had already moved to the Sun Residence. The moment she received the news of her daughter’s pregnancy, she immediately rushed over to take care of her and pass on experiences..
