Chapter 163: Breaking the Crisis with Wisdom
Lan Yunyan dealt with them skillfully, neither explicitly refusing nor easily agreeing, allowing them to always hold on to hope.
At the same time, the mastermind behind the scenes was also closely watching Lan Yunyan's every move.
They began to wonder whether Lan Yunyan had already noticed their presence, or whether she was secretly colluding with other forces.
In order to test Lan Yunyan, the mastermind behind the scenes sent out some minions, trying to create some chaos and observe Lan Yunyan's reaction.
Lan Yunyan was keenly aware of these small movements, and she knew that the mastermind behind the scenes had begun to take the bait.
She deliberately acted panicked to make the mastermind mistakenly believe that she was unaware of their true purpose.
At the same time, she also secretly conveyed the message to Xiao Yichen and the old man, asking them to be prepared.
As the plan progressed, the situation became increasingly tense, and suspicion and vigilance among the various forces grew more serious.
Those forces that wanted to get rid of Lan Yunyan began to get restless. They were worried that Lan Yunyan would be won over by other forces, thus posing a greater threat to them.
So they decided to launch another assassination attempt, trying to get rid of Lan Yunyan before she made a decision.
Xiao Yichen and the old man had already anticipated this, and they had set up many lines of defense around Lan Yunyan in advance.
When the killers reappeared, they were immediately surrounded by Xiao Yichen and others. After a fierce battle, the killers were all subdued.
However, this was only part of the plan. Lan Yunyan knew that the real mastermind behind the incident had not yet appeared.
She decided to continue to increase the intensity of the bait, forcing the mastermind behind the scenes to take action personally.
Lan Yunyan deliberately spread the news that she had decided to join a certain faction. This news immediately caused an uproar among various factions.
After hearing the news, the masterminds finally couldn't hold back. They believed that if Lan Yunyan really joined a certain faction, then their plan would completely fail.
So they decided to take action themselves and get rid of Lan Yunyan before she made a final decision.
On a dark and windy night, Lan Yunyan was walking alone on a remote path.
This was a trap she had deliberately set for the mastermind. She knew the mastermind would definitely show up here.
Sure enough, after a while, a group of men in black emerged from the darkness and surrounded Lan Yunyan.
The leading man in black had a cold look in his eyes. He looked at Lan Yunyan and said coldly, "Lan Yunyan, you shouldn't have come back. Today is the day you die."
Lan Yunyan showed no fear. She smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I'm not prepared?" After that, she clapped her hands lightly.
Suddenly, countless torches lit up all around. Xiao Yichen and the old man led a group of people coming from all directions and surrounded the man in black.
The leader of the men in black's face changed. He knew that he had fallen into Lan Yunyan's trap.
But he did not panic, but said calmly: "Lan Yunyan, do you think you can trap us like this?" He waved his hand, and the men in black immediately took a fighting stance.
A fierce battle was about to break out. Lan Yunyan knew that this was a battle of life and death, and she had to go all out.
She drew her sword and looked at the leader of the men in black with a determined look. Xiao Yichen and the old man also gripped their weapons tightly, ready to engage in battle at any time.
The battle began. The men in black, each skilled in their craft, engaged in a fierce battle with Xiao Yichen and the others. Swords flashed, knives gleamed, and shouts of killing shook the heavens.
Relying on his superb martial arts, Lan Yunyan engaged in a one-on-one fight with the leader of the men in black.
The leader of the men in black was incredibly powerful, his swordsmanship sharp and deadly. Although Lan Yunyan was at a disadvantage, she remained undaunted and fought tenaciously. She constantly searched for the man's weaknesses, attempting to deliver a fatal blow.
In the fierce battle, Xiao Yichen and the old man also played a huge role. They led their troops and launched a desperate fight with the men in black. After a hard fight, they finally gained the upper hand.
Just as the battle entered a white-hot stage, the emperor arrived at the scene with a team of palace guards.
It turned out that Lan Yunyan had already told the emperor about her plan before implementing it. In order to completely resolve this crisis, the emperor decided to take action personally.
The appearance of the Emperor made the leader of the men in black completely despair. He knew that he had no way out.
But he still refused to accept defeat and decided to make a final struggle. He attacked Lan Yunyan frantically, trying to drag Lan Yunyan down with him before he died.
Lan Yunyan saw the intention of the man in black and she cleverly dodged his attack.
At the moment the man in black showed a flaw, she quickly attacked and stabbed the sword into his chest. The leader of the men in black slowly fell down, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
With the leader of the men in black defeated, the other men in black also lost their fighting spirit.
They laid down their weapons and surrendered.
The emperor looked at the scene before him and nodded with satisfaction.
He said to Lan Yunyan, "Lan Yunyan, you did a great job. This time is all thanks to you."
Lan Yunyan said, "Your Majesty, this is what I should do."
The crisis was finally resolved. Under the emperor's authority, all factions dared not make any further moves. Lan Yunyan, with her wisdom and courage, established a firm foothold within the empire.
Yun Mengyao and Lin Wan'er were both excited when they heard the news that Lan Yunyan had returned.
"Yunyan, you're back." Lin Wan'er said.
Yun Mengyao held Lin Wan'er's hand tightly, tears glistening in her eyes, her voice trembling slightly, "She's finally back. We've been worried about her all these years. Now she's back safely, it's so great."
Yun Mengyao's eyes sparkled with excitement. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Wan'er, this is really surprising news."
She walked to the window and looked at the bustling streets outside, but her thoughts had already drifted to Lan Yunyan.
