After drinking the tea, he sat back down and contemplated for a moment. He looked at her, picked up the brush, and scribbled out: [The State Preceptor knows that old man Gongsun is tagging along on this trip to the capital. Thats why he specially transferred the tiger guards and sent scouts to constantly keep an eye on the situation along the way. Li Ruoxuan is very cautious. On the contrary, the Head Grand Secretariat only brought a dozen or so attendants with him, which is considered to be a light journey. But he is on crutchesand his injury does not look like it was healed. So, if its really one of these two people, I would guessIts Li Ruoxuan.]

[Is there no other reason?] It was somewhat straightforward.

Lu Yan continued writing: [Lets first a.s.sume that he is the new grand master. a.s.suming that he has just broken through to grand masters.h.i.+p, our Daliang would now have three grand masters. Shang Li, Si Jin, and Li Ruoxuan Shang Li has returned to the capital and Si Jin mysteriously disappeared for the time being. If you were a grand master from another nation, would you allow three grand masters to appear in Northern Liang?]

Qi Qingyao mouthed one word, No

[Exactly.] Lu Yan drank some tea and felt his head had cleared up a lot. He a.n.a.lyzed the situation for her. [Any person with a functioning mind would not allow three great masters to appear in Northern Liang in such a short time. It causes too much disruption in the balance between major nations. As a grand master of Daming, old man Gongsun will not allow this strategic imbalance. The moment there is a sharp increase in Northern Liangs combat power, we may possibly swallow up Eastern Ling, which has only one grand master left. After increasing our strength, the next one to be devoured is Daming in the south!! In that case, old man Gongsun would definitely kill the person who has just ascended into grand masters.h.i.+p at all costs. That is also why he is following us.]

Qi Qingyao felt overwhelmed by his words. She looked at his writing on the paper without saying anything.

Lu Yan frowned and wrote seriously: [If Li Ruoxuan has ascended, he must have transferred so many tiger guards to give the impression that he is protecting you, when in fact, it is for his self-protection. Thats why he first sent out a team of scouts to recon the situation before going anywhere. He refuses to let himself die by Gongsun Shes hands before returning to the capital!]

Qi Qingyao,

There was a touch of excitement on Lu Yans beautiful face. [Its a great thing that there are three grand masters in Northern Liang. I know theres an irreconcilable grudge between you and Li Ruoxuan, but at present, its important to protect his life, be it for the sake of national justice. After all, Jiang Yeqian has resigned and, of the remaining people who can be used in the imperial court, only the State Preceptor seems to have a working mind Now that he is also a grand master, the capital will be thrown into chaos if he dies.]

The entirety of Northern Liang would not be in a good situation. If Si Jin did not care about Northern Liang and was an outsider who was of no use to the imperial court, losing Li Ruoxuan would result in Northern Liang being swallowed up by Daming in no time, or perhaps by the mysterious Dazhou in the West

Lu Yan looked at Qi Qingyao, noting that she had been consistently silent. He became very nervous.

After contemplating for a long time, Qi Qingyao shrugged and wrote: [I didnt even say anything, why are you so nervous?] Even if she wanted revenge, now was not the right time, neither would she get someone else to do the deed.

At any rate, the original host was a commoner of Northern Liang.

She did not want to put her country in dire straits because of her hatred.

Peace was more important than anything else.

As for vengeance

There were still many days ahead.

After Qi Qingyao entered Lu Yans room, Dong Jing gathered around the door nosily to hear what was happening inside In the end, he did not hear a sound.

Dong Jing immediately snickered.

Missus ran to the masters room in the middle of the night, it seemed likesomething was going on.

Zhu Shen and Zhao Xin saw the way Dong Jing was behaving.. Zhao Xin frowned silently.
