Chapter 187 Junshan Meeting.
"Ming family."
Li An muttered to himself in a low voice.
The Jiangnan Ming family and some of the major families that are dependent on it can be said to be the biggest cancer in this world!
This family is crazy!
The Junshan Society was also organized by them. Not only did they secretly control the power of the entire Jiangnan region, but they also took some ministers and military forces in the court into their pockets.
It can be said that we will not discuss other territories. Even in the vast land of Jiangnan in Qingguo, any bandits or merchants and escort agencies that appear are basically related to Junshan!
"These words are not enough to impress me."
Li An shook his head slightly, "Maybe you can show me some sincerity."
"Cooperation does not allow one party to make endless demands. After the deal is done, just as we discussed before, Junshan will be yours!"
"Perhaps it is indeed hard to believe that the Qing Temple is the Qing Temple of the Qing Kingdom, but the sacrifices there are the main forces secretly fighting against Emperor Qing."
"The Qing Temple belongs to the entire Qing Kingdom, not just one person!"
Li An's heart moved, and he heard some flaws in this sentence, and hurriedly raised his left hand to start divination. Faced with the result, Li An was slightly surprised.
It’s so much earlier?
"The high priest is dead?"
This sentence finally broke the defense of Sanshi, who had been calm all along. Although he was the second priest of Qing Temple, he was not very keen on external power. He was more like an ascetic monk who inherited from the temple. He did not even have much say in Junshan Society, and sometimes he would even oppose some of Junshan Society's decisions.
But now the high priest has been cleared, maybe because the person in front of him doesn't have too many interests, or maybe because Li An can't be in the same group with Emperor Qing, Sanshi didn't hide his emotions in front of him. At this time, he couldn't help but feel sad, and even his tone of voice was a little trembling.
"I just want to create such an opportunity to ask Emperor Qing in person why!"
Sanshi believed in Junshan Society because he knew the power of Junshan Society, an energy that could even make this ninth-rank master feel fear.
He could only believe Junshan would do it because he had no other choice.
Facing Sanshi's roar, Li An remained silent, and couldn't help but sigh at Li Yunrui's ability to stir up trouble and his ambition.
"You don't have to be so sad. After the high priest, it will be your turn soon!" Li An looked directly at the man in front of him, as if his eyes could see through the old face under the bamboo hat. He looked sharp and convincing, even if that person was his enemy. "Send the silver as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid that if you delay for too long, the silver will not be delivered!"
In fact, the reason why Emperor Qing killed the high priest was very simple. He always did things cleanly and neatly. As long as there was a threat to his throne, he would not let it go. The death of the high priest of the Qing Temple explained one reason: he knew too many secrets of Emperor Qing, so he had to die.
It is not difficult to guess what the secret is.
After Li An revealed a lot of information in Kyoto, the secret that could still bring about his own death could only be the connection and cooperation between Emperor Qing and the temple. The hemp-clothed man behind Sanshi was the best evidence.
Just when Sanshi was about to ask the reason, he suddenly shut his mouth.
somebody is coming!
Soon, groups of royal guards surrounded the street. The leader rode out on a horse, got close to the front, dismounted, half-knelt on the ground and performed a military etiquette.
"Your humble servant Cheng Puzhu, a general of the imperial guards of the Northern Qi palace, greets the Imperial Master!"
Seeing Li An nodded, Cheng Puzhu did not stand up and continued to speak: "Do you need me to arrest these two people?"
"You can regard both of them as masters." Li An just shook his head.
"What?" Cheng Puzhu was confused at first, then he looked horrified. He quickly stood up and called his subordinates, "Evacuate the nearby residents and request support from the Jinyiwei, Heibingtai, and the City Guards!"
There was panic in the crowd, and Ang Lee shook his head.
"No need. You don't need to deal with these two. Even if they want to fight, the place won't be here. Their target is me."
"Master, is your safety in danger?" The implication is whether Li An can cope with it or win the battle?
"Go down!"
"Yes!"
The encirclement slowly expanded, and even though they retreated, they still kept alert from a distance.
"The disciple of Tianyi Sect is a little embarrassing for the master."
Cheng Puzhu is Lang Tao's nephew, and is a seventh-rank disciple. He had previously fought with Gao Da, one of Fan Xian's Tiger Guards, and was defeated by him in two moves.
At this moment, the sky was already very dark, and the lights in the residents' houses were gradually going out. Only some torches of the Royal Guards were illuminating everything at the scene. However, when the cold wind blew, the shadows of the flames danced, and the light shining on the faces of several people was shaking a little.
"As a result, none of the two things I discussed with the Imperial Master were accomplished. Not only that, but outsiders also learned of my whereabouts."
Sanshi turned into that calm and ascetic monk again, and the words he spoke were not only emotionless, but also bone-chilling.
Li An snorted coldly and said, "After all, we still have to fight! It seems that my money is gone."
"Don't worry, Imperial Master. I have already spread the news. No matter what happens today, the silver will be brought by Junshanhui."
Li An nodded, intending to give them some respect.
"It's not appropriate to take action here. I also know that you have some preparations in other places. Lead the way!"
Sanshi's face was full of surprise and admiration, which was revealed outside his bamboo hat. He paused for a moment and said, "Please know, sir, I have been born with supernatural powers since I was young, and my internal and external martial arts have been cultivated to the highest level. Please be careful, Master Imperial Master."
He didn't introduce the hemp-clothed man behind him, so Li An probably knew him. But for some reason, Sanshi suddenly explained, "Actually, this is not the first time I've met the Imperial Master. I saw you from afar long before the Imperial Master entered the Jingdu Qing Temple."
So he was in the Kyoto Qing Temple at that time? Li An nodded and followed the two figures.
"Oh no! The Imperial Master went to the meeting alone!"
"Come here, send a message quickly and gather the men. First notify the commander of the Royal Guard, Lord Wang!"
Teams of people dispersed in an orderly manner, and several nimble men followed the three people from a distance in the direction they left.
······
"It's quite nice here."
Li An first looked around, there weren't many people. He looked at Sanshi and sneered, what is this innate divine power and internal and external cultivation? Even if he didn't take action, didn't he still die in the siege of Yan Shendu and the elite soldiers in the army?
"It is indeed good. Northern Qi seems to be blessed by nature. No matter where it is, the scenery is so beautiful. If this place is used as a place to rest in peace, it is a perfect place for both me and the Imperial Master."
Footsteps were heard and several figures unfortunately emerged from the forest.
"I wonder whether Qing Temple is a place for spiritual practice or a group of assassins?" Li An said sarcastically.
As soon as he finished speaking, an unusual arrow shot out from the dense forest and went straight into Li An's eyes! Li An was a little surprised. He didn't expect that after Yan Xiaoyi, there would be someone with such archery skills. After careful perception, he was actually a step stronger than Yan Shendu.
This Junshan Society has made a big move! What a deep plan!
