An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

The voice echoed in the room, and it could be heard that Lin Yiyan was a little excited, even angry.

This was indeed the case. He was already dissatisfied with Zhao Jue's indifference in the previous fight between Zhang Chongjing and Wanyan Zhen. Now Zhao Jue was vaguely using his power to suppress others so that he could reap the benefits.

The combination of the two made him a little unable to control his emotions. If there were no more urgent things now, he would have to ask for an explanation no matter what.

"Master Lin, don't be excited. People who practice Taoism should have a peaceful state of mind."

"You..." Lin Yiyan was choked by Zhao Jue's calm tone and couldn't speak. He had to grit his teeth and keep breathing heavily.

Fazhi, who was beside him, hurriedly pulled him and patted Lin Yiyan's back to comfort him. In Fazhi's heart, he was also very dissatisfied with Zhao Jue.

The two of them were willing to do things that cost their lives, and Zhao Jue only needed to finish it well, but he was still unwilling! It means that they did the hard work, and they also wanted them to give their lives to the "adult" to save worry and effort?

Wouldn't they be begging on their knees? No, they are worse than beggars!

After the two of them calmed down, Zhao Jue slowly walked to the stove and sat down, took a sip of the unfinished tea, and then said, "I have something to say, both of you listen quietly. If you have any emotions, listen to it first, okay?"

Zhao Jue was not worried about the two of them at all. There was technology in the space, and his back was really strong!

"Do you know why I suddenly became so conservative, even a little timid? Because I have been thinking about what happened before I went up the mountain these two days. Your answers just now made me think of a lot of things."

The two looked at Zhao Jue strangely, thinking that he didn't know what he was talking about. Unexpectedly, Lord Zhao still had some self-knowledge.

But since he knew it, why did he drag it out? The two looked at each other, each with confusion in their eyes. What does dragging time have to do with Lu Wenyu?

Without waiting for the two to respond, Zhao continued, "Since Lu Wenyu is almost invincible, why would he come to escort us? Wouldn't it be better to find another grandmaster and let Lu Wenyu stay in the capital?"

"Don't say there is no second grandmaster in the capital. As far as I know, the seal holder of the Silijian is also a grandmaster!"

"By the same token, let me ask you again, why would Da Qi fear the assassination of the Hu people? With Lu Wenyu, the ultimate in the world, how effective can the assassination be?"

"So there is only one possibility: the reason why Da Qi agreed to the oath of non-war is because it wants to use this to transfer Lu Wenyu away!"

The two looked at each other, not daring to believe what Zhao said. This idea was completely inexplicable to them. What was the purpose of trying to transfer Lu Wenyu away? It can't be to let Lu Wenyu come out to relax, right?

What a joke, if you really want Lu Wenyu to relax, why bother so much

"Lord Lu, what you said is simply outrageous. Why did you transfer Lord Lu? It doesn't make sense!" Fazhi curled his lips, looking puzzled. This is all he said after the whole conversation?

This is nonsense!

"To prepare for war! To clean up internal troubles!"

Zhao sat down, put down the cold tea in his hand, and said gently.

Lin Yiyan asked in confusion, "I can understand the war, it's nothing more than the emperor wants to march north. But what is the internal trouble? It can't be that the emperor wants to kill the emperor, and there is no emperor?"

"No!" Zhao raised his hand to interrupt Lin Yiyan, lowered his head to interrupt Lin Yiyan, and said, "Someone wants the emperor to be the emperor. Or there is a prince who wants to sit on that chair."

"It's impossible. The current prince is friendly and respectful to his brothers. How could it be possible..." At this point, Lin Yiyan's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he silently calculated in his heart: the current prince has been regent for more than five years, and the current emperor is almost at the age of hearing.

Zhao Jue saw his reaction, but he just smiled, "Thought of it? Your Majesty... Haha, you can figure it out if you calculate carefully. If the world is peaceful after the war, will the other princes still have a chance?"

"Don't forget that the eldest prince has been regent for five years. If he is appointed as the crown prince..."

Then he will be the emperor for sure! The two thought at the same time, but there were still things they couldn't figure out. Lin Yiyan simply asked directly, "No, it's not so easy to enter the palace even if Lu Wenyu is missing? If you can't even enter the palace, how can you seize the throne?"

"What if there are three or four grandmasters?" Zhao Jue asked back with a smile.

Fazhi shook his head and waved his hands, chuckling, "Impossible, grandmasters are not cabbages, there are only so many in Daqi. Where can you get three or four more grandmasters? Jianghu people are not fools to do such a deadly business."

Lin Yiyan nodded slightly beside him. Jianghu people really wouldn't do such a business. If you fail, the current emperor will definitely kill you. If you succeed, the new emperor will also have to kill you. After all, no one wants his secrets to be known by outsiders.

Moreover, you have to take the blame. Even a fool would not do such a deal!

"What if it is the great master of the Hu people?"

Zhao Jue's words shocked the two of them. They were frightened and sweated profusely. Their faces even turned pale. They opened their mouths slightly but could not speak.

"This... this..."

"Want to ask why? Ha, the Northern Expedition needs a legitimate reason, right? Otherwise, will the world agree?" Zhao Jue said bluntly, "The emperor's assassination is the best reason!"

The two of them were like being enlightened, staring at Zhao Jue with wide eyes. I swallowed unconsciously, and my body felt a little hot. I don't know if it was caused by the fire or the feeling after the surprise.

Lin Yiyan was silent for a moment, and finally sorted out his thoughts, and asked, "What about us? I don't think it's just to transfer Lord Lu."

Zhao shook his head. He couldn't figure out why. As he said, the oath of non-war is too troublesome. It's better to use other methods to divert Lu Wenyu and then put on a show. Not only will the effect be better, but the risk is also small.

It's really weird, but I can't figure it out.

The three of them seemed to shut up tacitly. In the flickering firelight, their faces were full of contemplation. Outside the house, the wind was howling, and the wind and snow were raging.

Fazhi thought quietly. It was a bit difficult for him to digest too much information. In his eyes, these conspiracies were more difficult to understand than the Buddhist teachings of his master. He couldn't figure out why there were so many twists and turns. Just prepare food and grass and fight directly. Why think so much?

Food and grass, could it be? Fazhi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked carefully, "Do you think it might be a shortage of food and grass or something like that? But that's not right. Jianghu people don't know how to farm!"

This made Lin Yiyan laugh, but Zhao didn't say anything, and roasted the fire with a gloomy face. The two laughed twice and stopped, "Lord Zhao, if you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it."

"No, I figured it out." Zhao Jue said softly.

Lin Yiyan asked hurriedly, "Why is that?"

"To tie you and the court to the same boat!"

"Lord Zhao is really a joke. What's the purpose of the court and the martial arts world being in the same boat? Could it be a martial arts secret book?" Lin Yiyan said with a smile. After a few funny words, his mood improved a lot.

Seeing that Zhao Jue didn't react at all, he continued, "Besides, we have nothing else!"

Zhao Jue just smiled contemptuously.

"No! You still have fields and people who cultivate the land!"
