"I have a question." Dongfang Xinglan looked at Lu Jin'an: "Can't the World's No.1 Immortal Sect, the Wandao Sect, directly intervene in handling this matter?"
Lu Jin'an shook his head: "I am fully responsible."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Xinglan glanced at him aningfully: "Fully responsible, huh..."
Lu Jin'an smiled without saying a word.
"Then it's decided." Dongfang Xinglan withdrew his gaze and tossed him a Qin King Order: "Soone in the Jinyi Guard will surely side with the Crown Prince."
Lu Jin'an received the gold-made token: "Disobedient ones can just be killed."
"I've always thought that as the Saint Heir of the World's No.1 Immortal Sect, you should be a good person."
"That's one-sided." Lu Jin'an said lazily: "Since it's all settled, we'll wait for the Crown Prince of Shengjing to give the order to purge the Jinyi Guard."
"Okay."
"Aren't you worried sothing might go wrong?" Lu Jin'an joked with a smile.
Dongfang Xinglan turned his head, looking into Lu Jin'an's eyes, and spoke sincerely: "You and I are of one mind, what can't be done?"
Lu Jin'an smiled: "Indeed."
Dongfang Xinglan softly said "Hmm," silent for a mont, then asked slowly: "Prince Ji and the others..."
"All dead." Lu Jin'an tossed the token in his hand: "Except for those not in the city, they're all dead. Otherwise, how could we send so many civilians to your Southwest Nineteen States?"
Listening to Lu Jin'an's words, Dongfang Xinglan felt a twinge of regret, wondering which surviving Royal Family mbers would inherit the Dragon Qi from that branch of Prince Ji's Royal Family.
Thinking about it, Dongfang Xinglan glanced at Lu Jin'an again and suddenly said: "Hey, I suddenly have another good idea."
"Hmm?"
"How about you go to the Capital and assassinate the Crown Prince to plunge the world into greater chaos?" Dongfang Xinglan's lips curled into a smile, his bright eyes conveying a sense of innocent mischief.
Lu Jin'an was startled, couldn't help but look at her twice; was this still the Dongfang Xinglan from just now?
How did she beco like when she spoke in dialect, a sort of... clear foolishness.
"Troubleso." Lu Jin'an directly rejected: "It's much more convenient to directly take over places that haven't rebelled."
"That's true." Dongfang Xinglan smiled bashfully: "I was being foolish."
'Hehe...'
Lu Jin'an chuckled softly in his heart, and amidst the sound of rain, the thunderous hoofbeats of a thousand cavalry arrived swiftly.
"They're looking for you."
"Hmm." Dongfang Xinglan turned back to put on his armor: "Let's go; return to Jiangde City with first."
Lu Jin'an put on his mask and turned around to call out: "Zhiyu, let's go."
"Okay~" Zhiyu pulled the reins and ca over.
In the curtain of rain, Hong Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Dongfang Xinglan.
She ultimately couldn't rest easy, switching a dozen post horses along the way in a mad charge back, and upon hearing that Your Highness had not returned for a long ti, quickly gathered two thousand cavalry and arrived at Dragon Valley Ridge.
Amidst the corpses, Luo Ning, Wei Lan's death... but Your Highness' whereabouts were nowhere to be found, she nearly collapsed.
Luckily, Your Highness was safe and sound.
"Your Highness, you..." Hong Ying hurriedly stepped forward, glanced at the man and girl leading the white horse beside Dongfang Xinglan, was about to speak, but Dongfang Xinglan preemptively said: "First collect our corpses, then return to the city, we'll talk afterward."
"Understood."
Jiangde City, main hall of Prince Qin Mansion.
"Your Highness, you..."
Hong Ying spoke again, but once more Dongfang Xinglan interrupted before she finished.
"You need to imdiately handle sothing."
"Your Highness commands!" Hong Ying hurriedly knelt on one knee.
Dongfang Xinglan walked up to Hong Ying, slightly bent down, and whispered in Hong Ying's ear: "Gather all Royal Family mbers from the Southwest Nineteen States to Liu City, then transport them in batches to Dragon Valley Ridge."
Hong Ying was taken aback; the Royal Family mbers from the Southwest Nineteen States numbered nearly a million, should she transport them all?
She looked up at Dongfang Xinglan, who was expressionless: "Carry it out quickly."
"Understood."
"Do not ntion this to the two people I brought back."
"Understood."
Hong Ying withdrew from the main hall, and Dongfang Xinglan ca to the doorway, standing with his hands behind his back, calmly watching the torrential rain.
The flashing lightning illuminated her cold eyes.
