Chapter 51: The Killing Intent from the Imperial City
Halfway through, Taoist Liu said he wanted to leave, so after parting ways with Taoist Liu, Su Fan strolled alone on the road back to Luocheng. The food on the roadside was growing very well.
With a casual sweep of his mind, Su Fan knew that there were many formations around the farmland.
Some of them drive away insects, and some condense spiritual energy, so although it is very dry now, it is not suitable for growing food at all.
The grain in the field is still growing very well. Depending on how the formation is placed, Su Fan can also feel a slight fluctuation of Liu Yuanwai's spiritual energy.
Su Fan suddenly felt fond of this dangerous, cunning, cruel and ruthless man.
If a monk can care about the survival of ordinary people, then at least he is not bad, but everyone always has some paranoia about certain things in their hearts.
When Su Fan came to this conclusion, his heart gradually felt much better.
Monks dressed as mortals can be seen everywhere around the city walls of Luo City. If Su Fan wasn't familiar with the appearance of those people, he really wouldn't be able to recognize them.
It can be seen that the entire city wall is covered with profound formations, both in attack and defense.
Su Fan had so many questions in his mind that he couldn't figure out what happened in Luo City.
As soon as he entered Luo City, he ran towards the General's Mansion as fast as he could. There were black-armored sergeants guarding him about ten miles away from the General's Mansion.
When they saw Su Fan approaching, they all shouted in unison: "Welcome to you, Major General."
Su Fan gave a wry smile, walked past the guards of the black-armored sergeant, and entered the general's mansion.
There was still silence in the General's Mansion, and the solemn buildings gave people a heavy sense of oppression.
When Su Fan walked into the hall, he saw a pink figure in the hall. That figure looked so familiar.
I have recalled that pink color in my mind countless times, and it has been the pillar of support for me for many days.
At the critical moment when he was about to die, it was the pink figure who resolutely died for him.
Su Fan softly read out the pink line: "Fan Ruoyu."
I don’t know how many times he recited this name silently, or how many times he pondered it in his heart.
There was obviously a trace of surprise in Fan Ruoyu's eyes. Maybe she was wondering about Su Fan's expression.
Su Fan's expression now is extremely weird. If he saw it himself, he would not be able to help but laugh.
However, Fan Ruoyu didn't smile. He looked at Su Fan who seemed to be crying, but he suppressed his smiling expression and didn't feel the tears falling.
She hurriedly stepped forward to hold Su Fan's hand, and Su Fan hugged her. At this moment, there was no sound from heaven and earth.
The two hugged each other so tightly and remained silent.
I don't know how much time passed before the two separated.
There was a dry cough, and Su Fan knew it was Zhao Yuanwai. Although Zhao Yuanwai was highly skilled in cultivation, Su Fan could not detect his hidden figure.
Su Fan hurriedly said: "I have finished the matter."
Member Zhao smiled with satisfaction and said, "I also brought you a big gift, but you're still satisfied."
Su Fan said gratefully: "Satisfied."
Zhao Yuan said: "Since I am satisfied, then I will accept the post of major general."
Su Fan hurriedly said: "For such an important position, please ask the general to appoint talented people."
Zhao Yuanwai put away his smile and said: "It seems that you are not satisfied with this position. I can accept you as my apprentice. In the future, the position of general will also be yours."
Su Fanqiang smiled and said: "I just want to leave here with Ruoyu, and I won't come back."
Member Zhao looked slightly angry and said, "Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Su Fan explained: "I didn't mean that."
Zhao Yuanwai said coldly: "Then why don't you accept my reward?"
Su Fan said calmly: "I just want to live the life of an ordinary person. The life in the world of cultivation is not suitable for me."
Zhao Yuanwai shouted: "If you enter the world of cultivation, you will always be a monk. Even if you are reincarnated, you will still be unable to get rid of it."
Su Fan was silent.
Zhao Yuanwai knew he had lost his temper and adjusted his tone: "If you become a major general, I can help the mortals in this city and let them live a good life forever."
Su Fan showed an impatient look and replied: "Commissioner, don't think that you can deceive me by placing a few formations in the field. Your formations not only blocked the pests and diseases, but also blocked the entry of mortals. What are you doing?"
Help mortals?"
Zhao Yuanwai knew that he was in the wrong, but he still said forcefully: "That was a mistake on my part, and I will solve it."
Su Fan added: "If it is really a mistake, what about Boss Qian's teahouse? You forcibly expropriated its small shop to build a romantic place for monks to spend time and wine. Is this also a mistake?"
The anger on Zhao Yuanwai's face became even stronger. He snorted coldly and said, "Whether you want to stay or not."
Su Fan was about to speak, but was stopped by Fan Ruoyu. Fan Ruoyu said with a smile: "Excuse me, it's better to go like this. I'll go back with Su Fan to think about it first. This matter is not a big deal after all."
Zhao Yuanwai's expression softened slightly, he glared at Su Fan, snorted and left.
Butterflies were flying around in the garden, the flowers were blooming beautifully, and the rooms were decorated luxuriously.
Obviously this was all carefully prepared for Su Fan, and Su Fan felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart.
He didn't want to do the seducing and fighting in the general's mansion, and more importantly, he didn't want to live a life of fighting.
He originally liked a peaceful life, and his experiences over the years had made Su Fan already tired of this life of cultivating immortals.
Now that he has found Fan Ruoyu, Su Fan feels he belongs in his heart. He just wants to live the same life he had at Chenyuan Inn.
Fan Ruoyu was pruning the leaves. She looked very focused and seemed to love flowers.
Su Fan smiled faintly, silently walked into the room and sat down. The decoration in the room was very elegant.
There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on a table, and a row of brushes of different thicknesses are arranged neatly in order.
Su Fan's heart moved. He raised his hand and took out a pen. He wrote like ink.
The word "Su Fan" is sprinkled on the paper. The word is as breathtaking as a dragon, which shows Su Fan's free and easy character.
I don’t know how much time has passed. It’s late at night and the chirping of cicadas can be heard.
Su Fan had been silently reading the words on the table, when suddenly a black shadow flashed across the window.
Su Fan stood up suddenly, a dagger flew in, and Su Fan caught it casually.
The dagger was very delicate, and it didn't look like an ordinary item, nor did it look like an item from the general's palace.
There was a large gem inlaid on the dagger, and Su Fan crushed the gem into pieces with one finger.
A rolled brocade cloth was exposed. Su Fan pulled the brocade cloth out and found a few words written on it.
"Xiaoxueshan outside Luocheng, take your life."
Xiaoxueshan outside Luocheng is located a hundred miles away from Luocheng. Xiaoxueshan is covered with ice all year round. It has been snowing day and night for thousands of years.
Su Fan quickly understood the origin of the note. The two elegant words "Imperial City" were engraved on the dagger.
Su Fan naturally knew the reason for this. He was the one who killed Su Wenyuan, an official in the imperial city who was worth more than ten thousand people.
The husband of the Princess of the Imperial City and the pillar of the Imperial City.
If a person of this status was killed, the Imperial City would kill Su Fan at all costs.
Moreover, Liu Yuanwai said that there was an extremely powerful force lurking behind the scenes of the Imperial City. Su Fan did not think this was a joke.
With the note in hand, Su Fan remained silent because he discovered that Fan Ruoyu had not returned yet.
Su Fan walked out of the door, looked at the empty corridor, sighed, and disappeared in a flash.
As Su Fan, if you want to leave Luo City, you need to check carefully before Shang can leave. I think coming to Luo City has entered a very critical moment.
Su Fan had no intention of caring about this. It was getting late now, so Su Fan could let go of his cultivation and speed up his flight.
Although it was only a hundred miles away, Su Fan still flew for a long time and didn't realize that the sun was rising.
Su Fan looked at the rising red sun. Su Fan smiled faintly. For many days, Su Fan would look at the rising sun.
However, Su Fan didn't know if he would be able to see the rising sun next time after going there this time.
He always had a strange feeling in his heart, feeling that he was ashamed of Su Wenyuan, even though Su Wenyuan had failed him.
Flying was not allowed on Xiaoxue Mountain, so Su Fan had to walk up step by step.
The flying snow fell on him, but he ignored it and did not use his cultivation to disperse the snowflakes, letting the snowflakes hit his gray hair.
At this moment, Su Fan still had a question in his mind, who was the person who sent the letter?
The General's Mansion is heavily guarded and ordinary monks cannot enter. Are the black-armored sergeants in the General's Mansion hostile to Su Fan?
Could it be Yuan Wai Zhao? This was an answer that Su Fan didn't want to believe.
However, there may be something more distressing to Su Fan than this answer.
Su Fan was already standing there, because the person who wanted to kill him was already standing in front of him.
That figure was so familiar, that figure had given him hope and warmth.
Now he is still the master of that figure, but to kill him is like taking him into the sky and throwing him down hard.
Su Fan looked at the figure in silence.
The man turned around and whispered: "I'm sorry."
Su Fan smiled lightly and said, "Let's do it."
The man didn't move for a long time, his eyes were red, and he whispered: "Su Fan,..."
Su Fan had already raised his hand and dodged over. He pinched it in his hand, as if he was going to kill him with a fatal blow.
