Hearing this request, Yuwen Huaji's expression did not change at all. Although the Devil Heart Pill was only a fourth-grade medicinal pill, it was a supreme treasure for those who practiced demonic techniques. Moreover, the method of making the Devil Heart Pill had long been lost, and it was even more difficult to find.
The Four Ghosts of Yellow River revealed greedy expressions. They were also experts who cultivated demonic techniques. The Demon Heart Pill's medicinal power was extremely overbearing. It was not something that ordinary people could refine. However, if they were lucky enough to refine it successfully, they could immediately break through to the Grandmaster Realm that martial artists dreamed of. Even in the entire Jianghu of the Central Plains, they would be an overlord.
At this moment, Yuwen Huaji also showed his fierce nature. He stood up and said without hesitation,"There is no time to lose. This official plans to make a move tonight. As long as Young Lady can obtain the real account book, this official is willing to exchange it with the Demon Heart Pill!”
Yuwen Clan was a secular clan. Although the Demon Heart Pill was a treasure in the hearts of martial artists, Yuwen Huaji did not value it too much.
"Deal!"
Jiang Yunyan smiled like a flower. With a slight sway of her body, she disappeared from the hall.
This elusive movement technique caused everyone in the hall to be shocked again, and at the same time, it also increased their confidence.
Yuwen Huaji took a deep look at the empty door and sat back down. He said slowly,""It's almost the second watch. Everyone, quickly come up with an idea.”
When everyone finished listening, they all subconsciously looked towards Yue Ji who sat on the first seat on the right.
Yue Ji did not disappoint either and said calmly,""The Xiao clan has a deep foundation, and their experts are slightly better than ours. Moreover, this battle could not be a stalemate. It had to be a quick battle and obtain an overwhelming advantage. Only then could Jiang Yunyan create the perfect opportunity to steal.”
Yuwen Huaji nodded in agreement. In the end, it was not his place to act recklessly in the capital. Once the battle was at a stalemate, it would be difficult to retreat when the people of the five cities 'Military Department arrived.
Yuwen Zhiji said," Everyone deeply admires Fairy Yue's resourcefulness. I believe she already has a countermeasure."”
Yue Ji nodded slightly and said softly," The method isn't difficult either. We just need to dispatch a thousand elite soldiers from the Left Tun Guards outside the city to infiltrate the city. Then, we'll split into several groups to sneak attack the Xiao Family's various businesses in the city. The Xiao family will definitely send out experts to rescue them. At that time, we will gather the strength of the experts and attack the Xiao family's main residence. Then, the matter will be settled!”
Diverting the east and attacking the west, a military strategist's time-tested brilliant plan, was used just right here.
"Cheng Du, immediately head to the Left Tun Guard encampment outside the city and send 1,000 Black Armored Soldiers into the capital." Yuwen Huaji said in a deep voice. Remember to hide their identities. They only need to set fire to the Xiao family's properties and ambush them. Once the Xiao family sends reinforcements, retreat immediately. They must not expose their identity as Left Village Guards.”
"Yes." Yuwen Cheng cupped his fists. After saying that, he was about to leave.
Although the Left Tun Guards were part of the imperial court's army, after years of corruption by Yuwen Huaji, the generals inside had basically all been replaced by the Yuwen clan's trusted aides. They could already be considered the Yuwen clan's private soldiers. Especially the Black Armored Army. There were only 3,000 of them, and their equipment was all custom-made by Yuwen Huaji from the top refining sect, the Sacred Flame Sect. Each set was equivalent to a hundred times the price of an ordinary armor set!
Gao Mingde frowned." Wait a minute. The capital has been set on fire. We must make it known to everyone. What if the people from the Supreme Court notice it?"”
The rest of the people fell silent upon hearing this. That's right, the Supreme Court had been established for more than twenty years. There were many experts within it, and its power in the capital could not be underestimated. If Yang Su, the King of Yue, personally made a move, none of the Yuwen clan's people would be able to resist.
Yue Ji said coldly," Unless the people of the Supreme Court all become deaf and blind, otherwise, our actions will definitely be detected. Since that was the case, Clan Lord Yuwen might as well have a frank and honest talk with King Yang Su. After all, the enemy of an enemy was a friend.”
"As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any conflict between Lord Yang Su and the Xiao clan, right?"”
Yue Ji said," I'm not referring to the Xiao family, but the Li family.”
The moment these words came out, Yuwen Huaji's expression immediately changed, looking at Yue Ji with a bewildered look. The rest all had looks of being at a loss.
He only heard Yue Ji continue to say," Fifteen years ago, Yuwen clan lord and Yang Su assisted Yang Guang who was still Jin Wang's body together. They framed the then Crown Prince, Yang Yong, to death. They also chased Yang Yong's loyal supporter, the Li clan, to Guanzhong and Taiyuan. This matter…"
Yuwen Huaji's body turned cold as he said loudly,""Shut up!"
Gao Mingde, Liu Changfeng, and the others 'expressions changed inexplicably. All along, everyone in the court had thought that the Li family had been expelled to Taiyuan because of the failure of the factional struggle, but they did not expect that there would be a secret struggle for the throne. Even Yang Su, the King of Yue who was in charge of the Supreme Court and could not participate in court affairs, played an important role in it.
One could imagine how big of a commotion this secret would cause once it got out.
Yue Ji seemed to give a cold laugh and still said indifferently,""Although many years have passed, this hatred will never be extinguished. Yuwen clan lord could use this matter to lobby Yang Su and let the Supreme Court take advantage of the chaos to assassinate Li Shimin. In this way, Yang Su naturally won't interfere in our matters.”
Yuwen Huaji pondered with a dark expression. He had known Yang Su for decades and knew that this person was ruthless and cautious. If there was a chance, he would never give his opponent any room to ease up. If he brought this old matter to him, there was an 80% chance of obtaining Yang Su's support.
If he could take this opportunity to deal with Li Shiming, it would be a good thing for him.
Thinking of this, Yuwen Huaji finally nodded and said,""Let's go with Fairy Yi Yue's plan."
Imperial City, Zhengyang Hall.
Yang Guang was sitting high up on the platform, holding the imperial brush in his hand. Suddenly, a wooden window on the east side opened wide, and countless cold winds poured in, instantly extinguishing the candles in the hall.
"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die…"
"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die…"
After a while, the hall regained its brightness, and the small window that had been broken was closed again. His Highness was kneeling on the ground with the palace maids and eunuchs begging for mercy.
"Alright, all of you can leave!"
Yang Guang frowned slightly and waved his hand to chase everyone out.
Slowly moving to the window, Yang Guang looked out through the paper window. He saw the dark night outside the window. In the dark sky, a few flashes of lightning disappeared.
"Shadow Demon."
"This servant is here!"
Yang Guang didn't even turn his head and ordered indifferently,""Tonight, the four of you will be stationed in the four important places in the capital. Record everything you see and be careful not to expose yourself.”
"This servant will obey."
"Okay, go ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, the small window that had just been broken opened with a bang again, and the raging north wind whistled in.
Yang Guang's heart trembled as he looked out the window at the starry sky.
Rain was coming, and the wind was blowing!
