Chapter Thirteen Scheming
It's not surprising that the Yin Gui Sect doesn't have a spy in the new imperial palace. In this world, the rivers and lakes are closely connected to the mountains and rivers, and for a large sect like the Yin Gui Sect, almost every major power has their own people by their side.
At this stage, Wang Yu can't fundamentally solve the problem. It's not impossible to force the Yin Gui faction to withdraw their eyes from the palace, but what they get in return is a crack in the originally close relationship with the Yin Gui faction.
Since it's a problem that can't be solved for the time being, just ignore it. This is Wang Yu's consistent code of conduct. Moreover, at this stage, his interests and those of the Yin Gui faction are aligned, and the stronger the Yin Gui faction becomes, the more beneficial it will be to him.
As for the future, Wang Yu was determined to turn the entire Yin Gui faction into his own imperial harem. Since they were all his imperial harem anyway, putting a few people in the palace didn't matter.
It was the news that Wang Mang's body couldn't last for three months that made Wang Yu take it seriously. At this stage, Wang Yu's martial arts had already been cultivated to the 17th level of Tianmo Dafa. Finding a time to formally dual cultivate with Xiangxiang and plucking her red pill should still be able to further advance his cultivation. Then, in a short period of time, he should reach the peak. The "Huangdi Neijing" is not omnipotent either, it also has requirements for the object of dual cultivation. A virgin is best, and one with high martial arts attainment is even better. Xiangxiang is a perfect object for dual cultivation, and what's more, she cultivates the same source true energy as Wang Yu. If he were to switch to an ordinary girl, even if she was a virgin, she wouldn't be able to bring much benefit to Wang Yu.
So it's time for Wang Yu to take center stage. At this point, Wang Mang's state is crucial.
Three months is enough time to take a lot of action. However, time is also limited, it seems that the plan needs to be accelerated.
"Master, do you think Li Yuan and Yang Ditian's plot to take Chang'an will succeed this time?" Wang Yu lacked a deep understanding of the matter and could only seek help from Zhu Yuyan.
Yu Yan said seriously, "There is a 70% chance of success. Li Tang has many soldiers and generals, and they are good at fighting. The Mingjiao sect has strong martial arts skills and unwavering faith. If the two join forces, the new dynasty will likely be defeated. You know that your father, the emperor, does not have any reliable great generals under his command. Moreover, I heard that the Jin country may also march south." Wang Mang had a special hatred for foreign tribes, and he had been emperor for only over a decade but had already launched several attacks on the Jin country and Goguryeo. Originally, the new dynasty was not stable domestically, and those battles had shaken the foundation of the new dynasty.
Wang Yu sighed. It seems that the little soldier is still a nationalist. Although this is not a big problem, you have to learn to adapt to the situation. In his previous life, Yang Guang ascended to the throne with a strong army and horses, and the world was at peace, but because of three ill-timed invasions of Korea, he ended up provoking heaven's wrath and people's resentment, causing the people to suffer, and ultimately led to the downfall of the Sui Dynasty.
To subdue the external must first stabilize the internal, this sentence is reasonable to a certain extent. Yang Guang lost in this aspect, Wang Mang also lost in this aspect.
As for the Jin country in this world, it is similar to the Tuyuhun in the original Tang Dynasty. The leader of the Mo Xiang Sect, one of the six sects of the Demon Gate, "Demon Commander" Zhao De Yan, is the national teacher of the Jin country and the third highest-ranking master of the Demon Gate, second only to the "Evil King" Shi Zhi Xuan and "Yin Hou" Zhu Yu Xian. "Wu Zun" Bi Xuan, on the other hand, is the number one high-ranking master of the Jin country, the totem of the entire nation, an undefeated legend. He is one of the most renowned grandmasters in the world, whose martial arts skills surpass even those of Zhu Yu Xian. In the entire Demon Gate, only Shi Zhi Xuan in his prime can rival him.
Alright, for this completely chaotic world, Wang Yu was already too powerless to mock. However, thinking of Jin Guo, Wang Yu suddenly had a thought and remembered something.
"Master, if Jin Guo marches south, do you know who will be leading the army?" Wang Yu asked, looking up.
Yu Yan nodded: "It must be Zhao Wang Wanyan Honglie who led the army. In recent years, all major and minor battles of the Jin State have been handled by Wanyan Honglie."
Wang Yu heard this, and a pleased smile spread across his face. Wanyan Honglie, it's you, that's great! You dare to come, I'll give you a big gift, one that you will remember for the rest of your life.
"Master, please pay attention and find a father-daughter pair named Mu Yi and Mu Nianci." Calculating it out, Yang Tie Xin should now be using the alias Mu Yi and searching everywhere for Bao Xi Ruo. The Yin Gui Sect is the largest sect of the demonic path, with eyes and ears all over the world, second only to the Beggar's Clan. Although finding a person isn't easy, having Wang Yu describe Yang Tie Xin and Mu Nianci's age and martial arts skills should make it not too difficult to find them.
Zhu Yu Yan gave Wang Yu a strange look and said: "What are you looking for these two people for?"
Wang Yu smiled and said, "This is a very long story, and it starts with a Taoist priest passing through a small town called Niujiacun. I'll explain it to Master later when I have time."
"Alright." Seeing Wang Yu's sly smile, Zhu Yuyan knew that Wang Yu was up to no good. In the past, whenever he had this kind of smile on his face, it was when he was sneaking a peek at her while she was bathing. Ugh, what am I even thinking? Zhu Yuyan realized that spending too much time with Wang Yu had caused her to become prone to wild and fanciful thoughts.
"Right, Master. If we really find this father-daughter pair, take a look at that girl Mu Nianci's talent. If her talent is good enough, Master can take her as an apprentice. No need to pass on the mantle, just teach her some martial arts skills will do. This woman has great use for me." Actually, there's no great use, but Mu Nianci is a beauty after all, and she's the kind of person who falls in love with someone and sticks to it till death. In the original story, she fell in love with Yang Kang like a moth to flame, and remained loyal until her death, making people feel both pity and admiration for her. This lifetime, I have the chance to save her, and Mu Nianci is the kind of woman who would make a perfect wife. As long as I get her loyalty, I can say that this lifetime, I won't have to worry about her betraying me."
I'm so willing to help, oh, I'm too kind-hearted. Wang Yu thought shamelessly. But then Wang Yu suddenly thought of a problem: if he really accepted Mu Nianci, what about the great hero Yang Guo? This thought flashed by and was thrown to the back of Wang Yu's mind. Yang Guo is also a pitiful guy, wearing such a big green hat on his head. If he doesn't show up, it's fine, no big deal, I'll just have a child with Mu Nianci in the future and name him Wang Guo.
"Brother Wang isn't even emperor yet, and he's already selecting a consort." Yunyun said with a sneer. Big sister Yun was actually jealous, although she had long known that Wang Yu, this lecherous wolf, wouldn't be content with just one person, but after so many years of being together day and night, she was used to Wang Yu being good only to her, and suddenly seeing him take an interest in another woman made her uncomfortable at heart.
Wang Yu smiled and didn't respond, knowing that the jealous Yanyan was better off hiding. On the other hand, Zhu Yuyan looked at Yanyan with a curious expression, as if she had an idea.
Hurry up and change the subject, Wang Yu said: "Master, I asked you to investigate Yang Dingtian's wife last time, is there any result?"
Zhu Yu Yan's expression was strange, and she said: "Yang Ding Tian's wife indeed has a problem."
