Chapter 1351
This was a very rare thing in the Qing Guo, where the martial arts world was weak.
It was no wonder they could make such a great name for themselves with a group of motley crew members in the Red Flower Society.
Gu Hanyuan habitually despised Song Qingshu in his heart.
These dozen or so leaders of the Red Flower Society,
apart from Daoist Wuchen, Wen Tailai, and Zhao Banshan, who were worth looking at,
the others had names that were louder than the last, but their martial arts were quite average.
The vast majority were at the Early Innate Realm.
Some had even mixed in who were at the Peak Acquired Realm.
It was quite consistent with the general strength level of the Qing Guo martial arts world.
Among these dozen or so people, the ones Gu Hanyuan cared about most were Zhao Banshan and Yu Yutong.
In one version of "Book and Sword," Zhao Banshan was a mole for the imperial court.
The situation in this world was different.
He might not be a mole, but one couldn't be entirely sure.
Yu Yutong was a disciple of Daoist Ma Zhen, the head of the Yuqing Temple.
Like Li Yuanzhi, he could be considered a member of the Wudang Sect.
Of course, more importantly, he was currently staring obscurely at Seeing Luo Bing, who was graceful and smiling.
Clearly, he had a secret crush on this gentle Fourth Sister-in-law.
Yu Yutong's crush was not just a simple secret one.
He had thoughts of putting it into action.
The smile on Gu Hanyuan's lips gradually became playful.
As for Li Yuanzhi, who might have originally fallen in love with him, she had already been intercepted by Gu Hanyuan.
It would be hard for the two of them to have any further entanglement.
Yu Yutong suddenly shivered, inexplicably feeling a sense of malice attacking him.
He subconsciously looked around.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
Chen Jialuo asked curiously:
"Fourteenth Brother, what's wrong? Do you have any objections to our plan?"
Yu Yutong didn't know how to explain the chill he had just felt.
As for the matter of secretly staring at Seeing Luo Bing, he dared not say it out loud even more.
He could only mumble perfunctorily:
"Nothing, I just felt it was a bit dangerous."
Zhang Jin said with dissatisfaction:
"What great undertaking isn't dangerous? Besides, our goal this time is to assassinate Kangxi."
Just as Zhang Jin had said,
the members of the Red Flower Society had been discussing the assassination of Kangxi.
This indeed fit the theme of a "great undertaking."
It was just that in Gu Hanyuan's view,
the assassination of Kangxi was filled with a sense of strangeness.
Although the current Emperor of the Qing Guo was Kangxi,
his control over the Qing Guo was very low.
Prince Bao and Wu Sangui were both too powerful to be easily resolved.
Even within Kangxi's own forces, there was the arrogant and domineering Oboi.
Therefore, his throne was not stable at all.
If Kangxi were to die,
the Qing Guo might indeed fall into chaos.
But this chaos might not last long.
Because once Kangxi died,
the most likely person to sit on the throne would be Prince Bao.
As for Wu Sangui, he was the weakest of the three.
Facing Prince Bao, who had swallowed up Kangxi's forces, he would likely not be his match.
Clearly, the people of the Red Flower Society had not considered that much.
Gu Hanyuan, however, keenly noticed that Chen Jialuo's expression was somewhat inexplicable.
It even carried a hint of hesitation and difficulty.
However, in the end, he just sighed softly and didn't say much more.
Yu Yutong also knew that this reason was a bit unconvincing.
Therefore, he added:
"I am just worried that the old leader's intelligence is wrong."
He had thought of the same thing as Wen Tailai.
Daoist Wuchen pondered:
"We will disguise ourselves and apply for the recruitment; we will know if it's true or false once we try."
Yu Yutong sighed lightly:
"If Kangxi were just recruiting experts, that would be understandable. But normally, they recruit people with clean backgrounds. Yet the old leader said we don't need to worry about our identities being exposed. This puzzles me."
Xu Tianhong guessed:
"It should be that the old leader has arranged a mole inside the Imperial Palace. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to obtain the palace terrain map."
Xu Tianhong's words made even Gu Hanyuan feel surprised.
Assassinating an emperor was not rare.
But being able to reach the emperor was unique.
The main problem was that the Imperial Palace covered a vast area.
Without being familiar with the terrain, it was very easy to get lost.
Therefore, the vast majority of assassins were dealt with by the Imperial Guards before they could even approach the emperor.
But with a terrain map, it was different.
Not only did it increase the success rate of the assassination, but there was even a possibility of escape.
But a secret like an Imperial Palace terrain map was not something an ordinary person could get their hands on.
Did Yu Wanting actually have such ability?
Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered with a dark light.
He became even more certain of the guess in his heart.
The others in the Red Flower Society might not have entanglements with Prince Bao,
but Yu Wanting absolutely had a connection with Prince Bao.
It was even very likely a cooperative relationship.
And if there were no accidents,
Chen Jialuo was likely one of those in the know.
As for the others in the Red Flower Society, they were just pawns being used.
And according to the intelligence in Gu Hanyuan's hands,
Kangxi's recruitment of experts seemed to be for the purpose of dealing with Oboi.
However, the members of the Red Flower Society clearly did not know this.
Although this disrupted Gu Hanyuan's plan a bit,
it did not affect his ability to fine-tune the plan.
According to his speculation, the final gain would be even greater.
Gu Hanyuan sighed secretly at the unexpected joy.
And Yu Yutong was also persuaded at this time. ===== CHAPTER 1353 =====
