It was not until everyone had gone far away that Eunuch Fu let out a heavy sigh and said, "I really didn't expect Lu Yuan to leave behind such a trump card."
Even if the Jinyi Guard had arrived today, they might not have been able to snatch anyone away from the Imperial Guard. But it had to be the Old Lady—
"No wonder he dared to go up the mountain alone; he had calculated that the Old Lady would come looking for him."
No, he didn't just calculate it; he had planned everything from the very beginning.
Eunuch Fu couldn't help but think of the former Chu Grand Marshal. On the battlefield, Chu Grand Marshal was meticulous and left nothing to chance. The difference was, Chu Grand Marshal was only good at war and abandoned all cunning once he left the battlefield.
But as for Lu Yuan, no matter where he was, he was calculating all the time. Anyone could be used by him—his confidante, the Old Lady, even himself.
The Old Lady's group exited the temple.
