This was a very rare occurrence in the Qing Dynasty, where the martial arts world was in decline.

No wonder he was able to lead a group of oddballs to such great fame in the Red Flower Society.

Gu Hanyuan mentally gave Song Qingshu a look of disdain, as was his custom.

These are the dozen or so leaders of the Red Flower Society.

Aside from Master Wuchen, Wen Tailai, and Zhao Banshan, who are somewhat interesting to watch...

The rest of the group had impressive names, but their martial arts skills were quite average.

The vast majority of them are at the initial stage of the Innate Realm.

Even a few individuals at the peak of the Acquired Realm have managed to infiltrate.

This is quite consistent with the general strength of the martial arts world in the Qing Dynasty.

Of these dozen or so people, Zhao Banshan and Yu Yutong were the ones that Gu Hanyuan cared about the most.

In one version of "The Book and the Sword," Zhao Banshan is an undercover agent for the imperial court.

The world situation is different now.

He may not be an undercover agent, but we can't be completely sure either.

Yu Yutong was a disciple of Master Ma Zhen, the abbot of Yuqing Temple.

Like Li Yuanzhi, he could be considered a member of the Wudang sect.

More importantly, he was subtly staring at Luo Bing, who was graceful and smiling.

He had clearly fallen in love with this gentle fourth sister-in-law.

Yu Yutong's feelings were not simply a crush.

He had the idea of ​​putting it into action.

The smile on Gu Hanyuan's lips gradually became more playful.

As for Li Yuanzhi, who might have been in a relationship with him, Gu Hanyuan has already snatched her away.

It's unlikely that the two will have any further dealings.

Yu Yutong suddenly shivered, inexplicably feeling a malicious intent assail him.

I subconsciously looked around.

Unfortunately nothing was found.

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 secretly watching Luo Bing, he dared not say it aloud.

He could only give a perfunctory reply:

"It's nothing, I just feel a bit dangerous."

Zhang Jin said with dissatisfaction:

"No great undertaking is without its dangers, especially since our goal this time is to assassinate Emperor Kangxi."

Just as Zhang Jin said.

Previously, the members of the Red Flower Society were discussing assassinating Emperor Kangxi.

This certainly fits the theme of "major events".

But in Gu Hanyuan's view...

The assassination attempt on Emperor Kangxi has a strange air about it.

The current emperor of the Qing Dynasty is Kangxi.

However, his control over the Qing Dynasty was very weak.

Both Prince Bao and Wu Sangui were too powerful to be controlled and difficult to deal with.

Even within Kangxi's own faction, there was the arrogant and domineering Ao Bai.

Therefore, his throne was not secure at all.

If Kangxi were to die.

The Qing Dynasty could indeed descend into chaos.

However, this chaos may not last long.

Because once Kangxi dies...

Prince Bao is the most likely candidate to ascend the throne.

As for Wu Sangui, he was the weakest of the three.

Facing Prince Bao, who had absorbed Kangxi's power, he would most likely be no match for him.

Clearly, the members of the Red Flower Society hadn't considered that much.

Gu Hanyuan, however, keenly noticed that Chen Jialuo's expression was somewhat inexplicable.

It even carried a hint of hesitation and embarrassment.

However, he ultimately let out a soft sigh and said nothing more.

Yu Yutong also knew that this reason was somewhat unconvincing.

Therefore, I would like to add the following sentence:

"I'm just worried that the old leader's intelligence might be wrong."

He and Wen Tailai had the same idea.

Master Wuchen pondered for a moment and said:

"We'll disguise ourselves and apply for the job, then we'll see if it's true or not."

Yu Yutong sighed softly:

"If Kangxi was only recruiting experts, that would make sense. But normally, he would recruit people with impeccable character. Yet the old leader said there was no need to worry about his identity being exposed. This puzzles me."

Xu Tianhong guessed:

"It must be that the old leader planted an undercover agent in the palace. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to obtain the palace map."

Xu Tianhong's words surprised even Gu Hanyuan.

Assassinations of emperors are not uncommon.

However, very few were able to actually reach the emperor.

The main problem is that the palace occupies a vast area.

If you are not familiar with the terrain, it is easy to get lost.

Therefore, the vast majority of assassins were dealt with by the imperial guards before they could even get close to the emperor.

But with a topographic map, things are different.

This not only increases the success rate of assassinations, but also creates the possibility of escape.

However, such a confidential map of the palace is not something that ordinary people can obtain.

Does Yu Wanting really have such abilities?

A dark light flickered in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

This further confirmed my suspicions.

Other members of the Red Flower Society may not have any connection with Prince Bao.

However, Yu Wanting definitely had a connection with Prince Bao.

It could even be a cooperative relationship.

And if nothing unexpected happens.

Chen Jialuo was probably one of the people in the know.

As for the other members of the Red Flower Society, they were merely pawns being used.

And based on the intelligence in Gu Hanyuan's possession.

It seems that Emperor Kangxi recruited skilled individuals to deal with Oboi.

However, the members of the Red Flower Society were clearly unaware of this.

This somewhat disrupted Gu Hanyuan's plans.

However, this did not prevent him from making minor adjustments to the plan.

He even predicted that the final profit would be even greater.

Gu Hanyuan secretly sighed with unexpected joy.

Yu Yutong was also persuaded at this point.
