Is the Dark Alliance branch established in Howling Moon?
He'll manage it?
What's the meaning?
He saw that Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu were both looking at him with faint smiles, and then he realized that the princess's words were tantamount to telling him that she was the leader of the Great Chu Dark Alliance.
The leader of the Great Chu Dark Alliance!!!
It's a woman!!!
So young!!!
She's still the Regent's Wife!!!
Every piece of knowledge impacted Tao Zhengyu's mind.
It wasn't that he looked down on women, but that was the Dark Alliance.
Rumor has it that the Dark Alliance manages thousands of assassins, each one incredibly ruthless.
He simply couldn't imagine how a delicate woman like the princess could command those cold-blooded killers who didn't blink an eye.
"Your Highness, are you the leader of the Dark Alliance?" Tao Zhengyu asked, still unable to believe it.
"Young Master Tao, do you think I don't look like it?"
"No, no, it's just a bit sudden..." Tao Zhengyu hurriedly explained, as it was very impolite to doubt someone's identity in front of others.
Tao Zhengyu was initially surprised, but he eventually recovered.
Based on his understanding of Su Ruojin, he knew she was an extraordinary woman, so he couldn't treat her like an ordinary young lady.
Thinking about it this way, it's not so unacceptable that Su Ruojin is the leader of the Great Chu Dark Alliance.
“Young Master Tao, if you are unwilling, I will not force you. With your background, ability, and achievements this time, you will surely achieve great things if you enter officialdom.”
Su Ruojin originally intended to train Tao Zhengyu to be the head of the Dark Alliance in Xiaoyue, and revealing her identity first also represented a kind of sincerity.
After all that happened, she still trusted Tao Zhengyu's character.
She was also confident that even if Tao Zhengyu was unwilling to become a member of the Dark Alliance, he would still be an asset to the Dark Alliance in the future.
Although Xiaoyue had Yuan Hong, Su Ruojin still wanted to keep the Dark Alliance independent of the imperial power.
She had a long-term vision; once the Dark Alliance was established, it would always exist in Howling Moon.
Now that Yuan Hong is involved, there shouldn't be any problems.
But what about a hundred years, two hundred years, or several hundred years from now?
Who can guarantee that Yuan Hong's descendants will trust the Dark Alliance as much as they do now? They might even see the Dark Alliance as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Only by being independent of imperial power can the Dark Alliance avoid becoming a tool of imperial power and remain true to its original purpose of punishing evil and upholding justice.
"No, I'm willing!" Tao Zhengyu's unwavering answer surprised Su Ruojin.
"Although my time as the prefect of Jinzhou was short, I witnessed many powerful and wealthy families using their power and money to bully others. There were even many cases where people knew it was unjust, but because some people with ulterior motives distorted the truth and destroyed evidence, innocent people had nowhere to seek justice and suffered unjust deaths."
I used to want to enter officialdom and make a name for myself, but these three years have made me see myself more clearly. In fact, I am more suited to protecting the weak in my own way.
I had originally planned to disband the Night Alliance once things were settled and Xiaoyue found a wise ruler, so I could settle down and live a peaceful life with Yun'er.
Now that the Princess Consort wishes to establish a Dark Alliance within Howling Moon, why not merge the Night Alliance and the Dark Alliance? What do you think?
Su Ruojin transferred Rong Qizhou to Xiaoyue with the intention of having him bring out someone who could replace him after Xiaoyue established the Dark Alliance branch, and then transferring him back to Da Chu.
Otherwise, if Yunniang's lover is transferred to Xiaoyue and he doesn't return for a long time, Su Ruojin is afraid that Yunniang will nag her about it every day until she gets calluses.
Now that we have Tao Zhengyu, we can rest assured that we can hand over the Dark Alliance to him and take Rong Qizhou back.
However, there's one more thing she needs to clarify with Tao Zhengyu.
