Chapter 84: You will become a sitting duck
"Do you know who is the mastermind behind the Dingyun Rebellion?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Yu Lingye shook his head: "I don't know."
"Everything about the Dingyun Rebellion is a mystery."
"The only thing that is certain is that the Gu Sage is the key to the Dingyun Rebellion."
Yu Lingye looked at Xie Yingmian deeply.
The Gu Saint has disappeared for ten years.
The past ten years have been relatively peaceful.
Once Xie Yingmian's identity as the Gu Saint's disciple is exposed, this peace will be broken.
The truth behind the Dingyun Rebellion may then come to light.
However, this also means that Xie Yingmian will be drawn into the center of the vortex.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xie Yingmian felt uneasy under Yu Lingye's gaze. "The old man never told me any of this. I know nothing."
"I'm not sure that old man is the Gu Sage. Perhaps you've made a mistake."
Yu Lingye lowered his eyes.
If only it was a mistake.
Sadly, there's no mistake.
This storm will eventually hit hard.
"Let's not talk about me for now. Let's talk about you. How are you connected to the Dingyun Rebellion?" Xie Yingmian asked Yu Lingye. "Why did the person behind the Dingyun Rebellion put the Destiny Gu on you?"
Yu Lingye frowned: "I don't know."
"Before three years, I never felt anything unusual."
"In the past three years, the secret guards around me have noticed that someone is observing me in the dark."
"I have many enemies, and many people want to assassinate me. At first, I didn't take them seriously."
“A lot of things happened afterwards.”
Yu Lingye paused.
A hint of sadness flashed in those eyes.
"Until a year ago, I started to have health problems. Pei Xun investigated for a long time before he found out that I had been infected with the legendary Du'e Gu."
"Du'e Gu is rare, and investigating it is also difficult."
"After a long investigation, we finally targeted the Dingyun Rebellion."
"As for why the people behind the Dingyun Rebellion targeted me, I have no idea."
Xie Yingmian's heart moved slightly and his eyes narrowed slightly.
If she guessed correctly.
The person behind the Dingyun Rebellion should be targeting Yu Lingye's special physique that can sense the energy of the void stone.
If this is true, the person behind the scenes has a lot to do with the 29th century.
When this thought came to mind, Xie Yingmian's heart began to pound.
She couldn't have come into this world for no reason.
Her coming to this world is closely related to Dingyun Mountain, the people behind the scenes, and the Dingyun Rebellion.
Solving the mystery of the Dingyun Rebellion is equivalent to solving the mystery of her time travel.
Dingyun Mountain should have left a lot of clues.
She had to find a way to go to Dingyun Mountain to take a look.
"Is Dingyun Mountain far from Shangjing?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Yu Lingye: "Not too far."
"If we take a carriage, it will take about a month."
"You call this not too far?" Xie Yingmian's forehead twitched twice.
Although she had no idea of the speed and time of a horse-drawn carriage, a month's journey in a carriage would be at least a thousand kilometers.
It’s so far away, it seems impossible to get there in a short time.
"If there's any news about the Dingyun Rebellion, please let me know," Xie Yingmian said. "I'd like to know more about my master."
"Sure." Yu Lingye replied, "Can you tell me your strategy?"
Xie Yingmian told Yu Lingye the story of Li Da and Zhang San.
After listening to this, Yu Lingye's expression was indescribable.
He commented: "Removing the firewood from under the cauldron is the best strategy, but it is extremely dangerous."
"You will become a sitting duck."
"Indeed." Xie Yingmian sighed.
"When Imperial Doctor Cui told me about the turmoil in the martial arts world ten years ago, I just thought it was just ordinary people in the martial arts world stealing treasures. Their goal was to seize the secret technique of the Gu Saint."
"After listening to you, I realized that the Dingyun Rebellion is not as simple as stealing treasures."
"The Dingyun Rebellion's scope and scale are beyond my expectations. The power of the person behind the Dingyun Rebellion is also terrifyingly strong."
"My move of cutting off the source of the fire is clearly making myself a target."
Xie Yingmian sighed deeply.
She clearly just wanted to use the Gu Saint as a cover to hide herself.
Who knew that he would be involved in such a troublesome matter as the Dingyun Rebellion.
She hates trouble.
Trouble happened to find her.
This trouble was also related to the 29th century and the reason why she traveled here. She couldn't just ignore it.
It's really like shooting oneself in the foot.
"Being a target has its advantages," Xie Yingmian counseled himself. "Risks and opportunities always coexist. After I become a target, perhaps there will be unexpected gains."
Yu Lingye raised his eyebrows: "Not afraid?"
Xie Yingmian: "Scared, scared to death."
"But I'm afraid this won't solve the problem. Now that I'm on your pirate ship, I can't stay out of it."
"You've been targeted for so many years. They've been particularly active in the past six months. I think their actions are in the final stages."
"Because of my presence, the other party's finishing plan has been disrupted. I will definitely be targeted by them and there will be no way to escape."
"Instead of being secretly watched, it's better to be a target openly. Maybe I can lure out the snake and pull out the person behind the scenes."
She glanced at Yu Lingye and narrowed her eyes:
"Your Highness Prince Ling, we are like grasshoppers on the same string. We prosper together and suffer together. If I were in trouble, you would definitely not stand idly by, right?"
Yu Lingye said calmly, "It depends on the situation."
Xie Yingmian: "How stingy."
Yu Lingye chuckled: "You don't know me well enough. If you knew me better, you would know that I am even more stingy than you think."
Xie Yingmian: "If that's what you said, then I have to quickly collect my medical fee so that you don't default on it."
Yu Lingye looked on the small shelf next to him.
He found a small, inconspicuous box and threw it to Xie Yingmian: "Here you go."
Xie Yingmian weighed it; it felt heavy. "What is this?"
"Open it and take a look."
Xie Yingmian opened the box and saw a stack of banknotes neatly arranged inside.
Her eyes lit up: "For me?"
Yu Lingye nodded.
"Your consultation fee."
Xie Yingmian became more energetic.
Each note in this stack of silver notes has a face value of one thousand taels.
It was a thick stack, feeling heavy in my hand.
She pinched it and felt that the amount was not right.
Yu Lingye owed her a total of thirty-six thousand five hundred taels.
Fu Mo and Fu Feng had to bet half, minus five thousand taels.
Yu Lingye should have given her thirty-one thousand five hundred taels.
Converted into silver notes, it is thirty-one.
There are definitely more banknotes in the box than these.
Xie Yingmian counted them and found that there were fifty consecutive silver notes in the box, which was a total of fifty thousand taels of silver.
"Why do you want to give me more?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Yu Lingye said, "There's your tea gift and money for changing your story inside."
Xie Yingmian remembered.
Yu Lingye said that the Concubine Dowager had no money, and Yu Lingye would make up for the tea ceremony and the changing of words ceremony.
Yu Lingye gave her nearly twenty thousand taels in one go, and still said that he was stingy?
If this was being stingy, she hoped Yu Lingye would be even more stingy.
