"Half a year ago, there was an accident in the palace."

"It is said that assassins sneaked into the palace and tried to assassinate members of the royal family."

"Those assassins are very powerful, almost all of them are at the Grandmaster level, and there is also a strong man who is half-step to the Martial God level. Finally, it was the Martial God Ancestor of the royal family who came forward to calm the crisis."

"However, the royal family also suffered heavy losses. Seventy percent of the imperial army was lost, and several princes were killed or injured. Even the king was frightened, and his health has been deteriorating since then."

"After that battle, the ancestor of the royal family's Martial God has been in seclusion and has not shown up yet."

"There are rumors that the ancestor of the royal family was injured in that battle. He had reached his end and died in a secluded place."

"Senior Xiahou and Senior Tie were involved in an accident during that accident. They were severely injured by the assassin who was at the half-step Martial God Realm, and they died not long after."

Zhao Xun quickly recounted what he knew about the situation.

Hearing his story, Shen Nian's brows furrowed even deeper. He never thought that such a thing would happen during the year he was in a coma.

Assassins have broken into the palace, which was simply horrifying in the past.

The important area of ​​the palace is guarded by countless experts. How can ordinary people break into it at will?

What's more, if you want to enter the palace, you need to sneak into Kyoto first. Are the big families in Kyoto and the warriors association really a show-off?

In the past, the headquarters of the Warriors Association had an important mission, which was to guard Kyoto and drive away all external enemies.

When Shen Nian said this, what he got in exchange was a wry smile from Zhao Xun.

"Brother Shen, you have slept for too long. The situation outside has long been different from a year ago!"

Zhao Xun said helplessly.

"What else happened?"

Shen Nian was startled and asked in confusion.

Zhao Xun sighed, "This year, the situation on the border has been tense, and the few remaining elders of the Warriors Association have already gone to guard the border!

Among them, the 11th Elder and the 12th Elder both died in battle at Tianguan in the Northern Territory. The Ninth Elder was also attacked and killed in the Western Territory. He was unconscious. News came back from the front line that he should be dying soon! "

Shen Nian did some calculations secretly and finally came to an astonishing conclusion.

He opened his mouth, "So, there is only the third elder left in the Warriors Association now?"

Strictly speaking, there is a fifth elder, but Yu Liuli has a special status and cannot participate in the internal affairs of the Warriors Association.

"Otherwise, how could we give those assassins an opportunity?"

Zhao Xun looked at him with a strange expression.

It can be said that the entire Warriors Association was destroyed by Shen Nian alone. Almost half of the elders died because of him.

"Ahem, um...do you know where the assassin came from?"

Shen Nian naturally knew why Zhao Xun was looking at him like this, so he smiled awkwardly and changed the topic.

Zhao Xun shook his head, "All parties have investigated, but there are no clues. These assassins seem to appear out of thin air."

"Is there no target for suspicion?"

Shen Nian asked.

Zhao Xun hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I heard that guy Zhou Tianpeng mentioned that Mr. Zhou seemed to be suspicious of the Yun family, but no evidence could be found. Later, Mr. Zhou's health failed, and this matter was over. That’s it.”

"Yun family?"

Shen Nian was startled, frowned, and began to think.

A long time ago, he realized that there was a problem with the Yun family, and it was most likely a nail planted by Fusang in Kyushu.

It is indeed possible that the Yun family did this.

But, what is their purpose?

Just to kill a few people and create chaos?

If this is really the case, is the price too high?

Even if Fuso possesses a genetic potion that can produce warriors in batches, the success rate of that potion is not 100%, especially potions at the Half-Step Martial God Realm, which are completely produced by human lives.

An inexplicable action, sacrificing the lives of a half-step Martial God and dozens of master-level experts is not worth it no matter how you look at it.

The Imperial Army is gone and can be drawn from various war zones.

As for those princes...

Although it is not a small matter, it cannot shake the foundation of Xia Kingdom.

The only thing that can be considered to have some effect is that the ancestor of the royal family's god of war is suspected to have died.

But Shen Nian still felt that something was not right.

For some reason, he always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. The other party must have other motives, but he didn't see through it now.

After thinking for a while, he didn't have any clue. Fortunately, he put the matter aside and didn't think about it for the time being.

"Since there is something wrong with Mr. Zhou's health, haven't our people gone to help check it out?"

Shen Nian asked softly.

Zhao Xun sighed and said helplessly: "It's not that we didn't go, but Mr. Zhou refused to let us go. He said... this is his retribution, and it's good to just go on like this."

As he said that, he looked at Shen Nian with complicated eyes.

Hearing this, Shen Nian's expression became a little complicated. He could naturally understand what Zhou Hai's words meant.

Do you want to use this method to atone for your sins?

Shen Nian thought silently.

"Brother Shen, there are some things that I am not suitable for commenting on, but... since it has passed, let him go. Mr. Zhou's life will not be easy. Find a time... to see him off!"

Zhao Xun sighed softly and patted Shen Nian on the shoulder.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and Zhao Xun said goodbye and left.

He also wanted to mobilize the connections left by Zhao Xianyi during his lifetime to inquire about Sun Maonan.

After Zhao Xun left, Shen Nian sat alone in the pavilion for a long time before calling Ye Qingqing and briefly explained the scalper's matter.

After hearing this, Ye Qingqing also changed his expression.

She blamed herself: "It was my lack of supervision in this matter that allowed them to take advantage of the loophole."

Shen Nian shook his head slightly, "This is not your fault. If you are asked to manage such a big stall, there will inevitably be oversights. And no matter how you supervise it, someone will eventually take risks for the sake of profit."

Money moves people's hearts.

He knew these truths very well and did not blame Ye Qingqing.

With the expansion of Yixintang, the number of people joining has become more and more diverse, and it is impossible to investigate everyone's character clearly.

During Shen Nian's absence, Ye Qingqing was basically responsible for all matters of the Yixin Hall. She was indispensable for the current scale of the Yixin Hall.

"Brother Shen, how should we handle this matter?"

Ye Qingqing asked.

Shen Nian muttered: "Let's start the internal investigation first, and expel those people directly from the Yixin Hall and never hire them."

Ye Qingqing nodded, turned around and left quickly without saying anything more.

"Tsk, tsk, you're such a hands-off shopkeeper, you're really qualified for your job!"

In my mind, the voice of Qi Ling rang every day.

Shen Nian smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly, "These things are not what I am good at in the first place, and the Yixintang is really good under Qingqing's management."

Immediately afterwards, he thought of something again and asked: "By the way, do you have any exercises suitable for immortal body cultivation?"

"Why, do you want to give your little apprentice a skill?"

Qi Ling Tiantian immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"Um."

Shen Nian nodded and did not deny it.

After accepting Su Su as his disciple, he only passed on the Tiandao Medical Scripture to the little girl, but he didn't pass it on for a long time because he didn't have any suitable training techniques.

Now that Qi Ling Tiantian has awakened, he will naturally not miss this opportunity.

He clearly knew that Qi Ling held countless top-notch techniques in his hands every day.

Qi Ling sighed Tiantian: "I have to say, your opportunity is really good, you even accepted the immortal body!"

"I also met the flower god body before, and that kid who can practice bloodthirsty demonic skills..."

"And that extremely yin body, I discovered last night that her physique has evolved into a taiyin body? What kind of opportunity do you have?"

Shen Nian smiled and said: "I was lucky before. By chance, I came across a piece of Taiyin Xuan Jade, which was just enough for Tianyi's physique to evolve."

Qi Ling Tiantian snorted, "It seems that the piece of Taiyin Xuanyu you encountered is not small!

Did you know that the probability of the extremely Yin body appearing in history is not low, but the Taiyin mysterious body has only been born a few times, because the Taiyin mysterious jade rarely appears.

Even if it does appear, it will only be a small piece, which is simply not enough to complete the evolution of the physique."

"Ahem, it's all luck... luck."

Shen Nian coughed dryly and touched his nose in embarrassment.

Qi Ling rolled his eyes Tiantian and said angrily: "Luck? Do you know that there are a few extraordinary little guys in your medical clinic?"
