Chapter 286 Ji Dan Offers a Brilliant Plan!
then.
After Xiang Liang finished delivering this shocking news, his anxious eyes were fixed on him!
He said excitedly, "Immortal Master! Your wisdom and strategy are unparalleled! The Chu Kingdom is on the verge of collapse, and it is all thanks to your brilliant plan that we can turn the tide!"
Faced with Xiang Liang's incredibly trusting and eager gaze.
I went numb on the spot! My back was instantly soaked with cold sweat!
What can we do?
If I had dared to shake my head and say "I have no way to do anything" back then, given the violent temper of the Xiang clan, they would have definitely chopped me up and fed me to the dogs!
We're in a bind!
To save his own life, and to maintain his mysterious and enigmatic persona.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and take on this responsibility of breaking the deadlock!
He even shamelessly told Xiang Liang to go back and wait for his "brilliant plan"!
"A brilliant plan? What brilliant plan do I have?!"
At that moment, Ji Dan, inside the private room, slapped herself hard, slumped to the ground, and stared at the ceiling beams above her, tears welling in her eyes, her gaze filled with despair.
"That's the Black Ice Guard of the Great Qin Dynasty! How the hell am I supposed to break this deadlock?"
"It's over...it's all over..."
"The boast has already been made. If we can't come up with a way to get by in the next few days, if we can't complete Xiang Liang's task..."
"By the time Xiang Liang realizes what's happening, my life will be completely over!"
Ji Dan slumped to the ground, looking miserable, clutching her hair, her mind a complete mess.
However desperate it may be!
After spending this period of time indulging in a life of debauchery at the Xiang family in Jiangdong, being treated like a living god, he at least wasn't completely idle.
In order to avoid giving himself away, he carefully inquired about Zhang Fan's life story, words and deeds, and even studied them countless times!
Commanding the wind and rain, foreseeing the future, remaining unmoved even when Mount Tai collapses before you...
Ji Dan gritted her teeth and pondered to herself:
Now the imperial court is going to investigate the remnants of the Chu state in Shangdang County. This is a major case of rebellion that is beyond doubt. How can a fake Taoist priest conjure up a scheme that can deceive the heavens and the sea?
Just when Ji Dan was suffering from a splitting headache and couldn't figure it out!
"Knock knock knock..."
A knock on the door suddenly broke his thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, a servant of the Xiang family lowered his voice and called softly from outside the door:
"My lord, Lord Xiang has prepared morning tea in the front hall and has specially sent me to invite you to have a chat there..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Dan was immediately startled, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end!
They're already urging us so soon?
He took a deep breath and patted his stiff cheeks hard with both hands, forcing himself to calm down.
He then quickly straightened his flowing, ethereal white Taoist robe, composed himself, and deliberately lowered his voice.
"good!"
"Lead the way."
Now that things have come to this, there's no way to escape. We have no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless, and go all out!
If I show weakness, I'm afraid I won't even be able to leave this courtyard today!
"Squeak~"
Pushing open the door, Ji Dan put her hands behind her back, walked with a pigeon-toed gait, and followed behind the servants, trying her best to walk with an air of otherworldly elegance.
Not long after.
Ji Dan then arrived at the extremely spacious main hall of the Xiang residence.
As soon as he entered the door, his eyelids twitched violently!
Inside the main hall, not only stood Xiang Liang with a solemn expression, but also a young and fierce general beside him!
It was none other than Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King!
Seeing this god of death also present, Ji Dan felt his calves spinning uncontrollably, but he could only clench his fists tightly and pretend to be calm.
Upon seeing the fake Zhang Fan slowly approaching, Xiang Liang's brows instantly relaxed, and his face was filled with smiles.
He hurried forward, taking three steps at a time, and warmly grasped Ji Dan's hand, leading him to the main seat:
"Oh dear! Did you rest well last night, Immortal Master? Please forgive my neglect! Please, please have a seat!"
Ji Dan sat down smoothly, nodded slightly, and remained silent, maintaining her aloof demeanor.
Xiang Liang poured Ji Dan a cup of tea himself with great courtesy, followed by a long and detailed conversation of concern that lasted for half an incense stick's time.
Finally, the pleasantries are over!
Xiang Liang rubbed his hands together, his Adam's apple bobbing, and leaned forward slightly as he cautiously asked:
"Um... Immortal Master..."
"Regarding the catastrophic crisis in Shangdang Prefecture that I told you about yesterday... I wonder if there's any progress on your brilliant plan, Immortal Master?"
Xiang Yu, who was standing to the side, also turned his head sharply, his double pupils staring intently at Ji Dan, as if trying to see through him.
I was being stared at like that by this uncle and nephew.
Ji Dan's heart instantly leaped into her throat!
But he knew that he could not hesitate for even a moment!
Ji Dan abruptly flicked her wide sleeve, picked up the teacup on the table, gently skimmed off the foam, then a mysterious smile, as if saying "everything is under control," appeared on her lips as she spoke arrogantly:
"Don't panic, Lord Xiang."
"Having observed the stars all night, I am already confident of success."
Upon hearing the words "confident and well-prepared," both Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's eyes lit up, and their breathing became rapid!
"Please enlighten us, Immortal Master!!!" the two said in unison.
Ji Dan put down his teacup, clasped his hands together, and began the most outstanding impromptu performance of his life!
He squinted, and began to ramble on and on:
"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things."
"The situation in Shangdang, seemingly a dead end, is in reality a chaotic interplay of Yin and Yang. The Black Ice Terrace belongs to Water, the extreme of Yin and cold! Coal, on the other hand, is underground fire, the extreme of Yang and intensity. The clash between water and fire will inevitably lead to a great calamity!"
Seeing the two of them so focused, Ji Dan swallowed hard and increased her output:
"To break this deadlock, we must employ the method of 'governing by doing nothing'! As the saying goes, 'The greatest form is formless, the greatest sound is silent!'"
"We will use the principles of 'Tai Chi Bagua' to reverse the tide! When the time is right and the location is favorable, we will set up a maze of the Nine Palaces Flying Stars, supplemented by the 'Rest Gate' breath-holding method from 'Qimen Dunjia,' to trap Prince Fusu and the Black Ice Platform in the Schrödinger's state of 'form is emptiness, emptiness is form'..."
"In short, as long as we do the opposite, using the illusory to control the real, and letting the illusory and the real interact, the crisis in Shangdang County will naturally dissipate like a dream, and our great undertaking will be accomplished!"
The words had barely left his mouth!
A deathly silence fell over the lobby.
You could hear a pin drop clearly.
Ji Dan appeared calm and collected, but in reality, her back was completely soaked with cold sweat, and she didn't dare to even breathe.
And sitting opposite him were Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu...
The uncle and nephew stared at each other, mouths slightly agape, completely frozen in place.
The two of them were completely bewildered, their heads filled with question marks!
What is all this talk about?
Tai Chi Bagua? Qimen Dunjia? And that... Schrödinger's Realm?
They could understand each word individually, but when put together, they couldn't understand a single sentence!
