177 Disguise
"Okay, you guys keep busy. I have other things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now."
"Yes! Farewell, Grand Commander!"
After Jiang Yun left, the four of them gathered again with serious expressions and held an urgent and crucial meeting.
Under the dim candlelight, they each pondered and wrote down the names of soldiers they were familiar with in their minds. These names carried their trust and expectations.
After repeated consideration and screening, they finally selected 56 outstanding people with noble character, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism from among many brave soldiers.
These people will be entrusted with important tasks and become the first batch of soldiers to practice this physical training method after the four of them.
On the other side, Jiang Yun returned to Chong'an Palace and went straight to the study where Fu Xuanyu was.
When I pushed open the door of the study, a faint scent of books and ink hit me in the face.
Fu Xuanyu was sitting in a wheelchair, holding an ancient book in his hand. The sunlight shining through the window lattice gave him a layer of gold, making him look particularly peaceful and beautiful.
"Ayu, I'm back." There was a hint of tenderness and apology in Jiang Yun's voice. She walked closer to Fu Xuanyu and gently put the cloak in her hand on his shoulders.
Fu Xuanyu raised his head, his eyes fell gently on Jiang Yun, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ayun, you are back. Was everything going well today?" His voice was full of concern and doting.
Jiang Yun smiled and nodded: "Everything is going well, but... I have something to tell you."
Fu Xuanyu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had a premonition of something, but he still maintained his gentleness and patience: "Go ahead, I'm listening."
Jiang Yun took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said, "I may have to leave for a while to deal with some things."
Fu Xuanyu's heart suddenly tightened, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes: "Leave? Where are you going?"
Jiang Yun gently held Fu Xuanyu's hand, his eyes firm and gentle: "I am going to Qingyun Sect. There are some things there that I need to deal with personally. It may take three months."
Fu Xuanyu's face instantly became a little disappointed, but soon he adjusted his mood, his eyes flashing with trust and support for Jiang Yun: "I understand, go ahead. No matter where you go or what you do, I will support you unreservedly."
A warm current surged in Jiang Yun's heart, and she looked at Fu Xuanyu gratefully: "Thank you, Xuanyu. With you here, I have the greatest courage and strength."
After saying that, Jiang Yun took out a stack of documents from his bosom and handed them to Fu Xuanyu: "This is the affairs of the Grand Commander and some plans for the army that I sorted out. Please help me take care of it for the time being. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to handle it in an orderly manner."
Fu Xuanyu took the document, his eyes flashing with confidence and determination: "Don't worry, Ayun. I will do my best to handle these things. You can go to Qingyun Sect with peace of mind."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Jiang Yun left the study and went to the courtyard where Lu Yan and Lan Wushuang were.
When Jiang Yun arrived, he saw Lu Yan and Lan Wushuang sitting opposite each other. The atmosphere seemed a bit dull and depressing. They seemed to be troubled by something.
Jiang Yun coughed lightly, breaking the dull silence: "You two, I'm here."
Lu Yan looked up when she heard the voice, a charming smile flashed in her eyes, as if it could instantly light up the whole room: "Master, you are finally here, we are waiting for you to make a decision."
Lan Wushuang also nodded slightly. Although her face was cold as ice, her eyes revealed her respect and trust for Jiang Yun: "Master, what are your plans?"
Jiang Yun sat down at the table, his expression solemn and serious: "I got a message from Qin Tan's memory that the Qingyun Sect's sacrifice will be secretly planned in two months. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can rescue the victims before then, and then use the recording stone to record their crimes and make the Qingyun Sect's crimes public."
Hearing this, Lu Yan frowned slightly, with a worried look on her face: "Two months? Time is tight."
Lan Wushuang calmly analyzed the situation: "We need a foolproof plan. Sneaking into Qingyun Sect is not easy. If we are not careful, we will alert the enemy."
Jiang Yun nodded and took out three exquisite pills from his arms: "This is the disguise pill I specially prepared. Once you take it, your face will change randomly. We can then sneak into Qingyun Sect as the disciples recommended by Qin Tan and become new disciples of Qingyun Sect."
Lu Yan took the pill and looked at this magical pill carefully, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in her eyes. However, she soon remembered the Jianzhen Mirror of Qingyun Sect: "How can there be such an elixir in this world? But Qingyun Sect has the Jianzhen Mirror, which can identify people in disguise." There was a hint of worry in her voice.
Lan Wushuang hesitated for a moment and then said, "I know Qingyun Sect quite well. Although the Jianzhen Mirror is powerful, its spiritual power will stagnate for half a moment when the midday and noon meet. That is our best opportunity."
Lu Yan's eyes lit up, as if she saw the dawn of hope: "Then how do we enter Qingyun Sect?" Her voice was filled with eagerness and anticipation.
Lan Wushuang continued, "The Qingyun Sect has tight defenses, but the patrolling disciples will change guard at 3:05 a.m., and the barrier in the southwest corner is the weakest. We can sneak in from there. As long as we enter the sect, I can take care of the matter of becoming a new disciple."
Jiang Yun heard this, and a trace of approval and trust flashed in his eyes: "Okay, let's act according to Lan Wushuang's plan. We must rescue the victim within two months. At the same time, we must be careful not to alert the enemy."
Lu Yan and Lan Wushuang said in unison: "Yes!"
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "In that case, it's settled! You can start preparing your things this afternoon! Have a good rest tonight, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
"Okay!" Lu Yan and Lan Wushuang responded in unison, their voices revealing determination and expectation, as if they had already seen the dawn of victory.
After Jiang Yun left the courtyard, she went straight to find Nanny Wang.
She told Wang Ma solemnly that she was going on a long journey and asked her to help prepare some food and clothes.
Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang was a little surprised and asked: "Princess, how long will you be gone? When will you leave? I can help you prepare food according to the schedule." There was concern and worry in her voice.
Jiang Yun thought for a moment and then said, "I will leave early tomorrow morning and will be gone for three months. Just make preparations according to this schedule. Also, during these three months, announce to the public that I am ill and will not see any visitors."
Nanny Wang nodded and said, "Yes!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the room quickly. She was well aware of the importance and danger of the princess's trip, so she decided to do her best to prepare everything for the princess.
Nanny Wang thought to herself: The princess will leave tomorrow and will be gone for three months. She has to hurry up and prepare food for the princess!
