After the Northern Qi and Dong Yi delegations arrived in Kyoto, Fan Xianxian was bored and complained to Wang Yue at home about Zhuang Mohan's popularity, which was even more popular than the concerts of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Wang Yue was noncommittal about this. After all, chasing stars happens all the time, and it is not a patent of modern society.
For example, Confucius dreamed of Zhou, or the King of Qin robbed Han Fei.
Fan Xian saw that Wang Yue was not interested in Zhuang Mohan at all, and felt very boring. Only then did he start to tell Wang Yue about the situation when he entered the palace to express his gratitude after joining the Eighth Grade Taichang Temple as a concubine. After all, Wang Yue also wanted to enter the palace.
To induce Hong Si's itch, it's not enough if you are not familiar with the terrain.
Just as the two were discussing the details, the shadow next to Chen Pingping suddenly appeared in the small courtyard where Wang Yue lived.
Wang Yue and Fan Xian were both at the ninth level now. They sensed the shadow the moment it appeared, and they both stopped talking at the same time.
When Shadow saw Wang Yue and Fan Xian being on guard, he didn't care. His first words were shocking, "Someone wants to kill Chen Pingping, and they will do it in less than half an hour."
Wang Yue felt that this was an act. After all, if he wanted to kill Chen Pingping in Kyoto, it would be more difficult to come back than to kill the emperor. He simply said, "Where?"
Shadow could see that Wang Yue didn't believe what he said, and he didn't care. He said to Fan Xian directly, "Inspection Institute."
Fan Xian was a little confused. He felt that things were a bit fantasy today. First, people in ancient times were crazy about chasing stars, and they did not respect national boundaries like modern times. Then someone wanted to kill Chen Pingping, but they were still at the headquarters of the Institute of Inspection.
Too many things happened today, and Fan Xian couldn't react. After a while, he quickly said, "No way, that's Uncle Chen's base."
Seeing that the two of them had no intention of moving, Shadow was afraid that something might happen, so he quickly urged, "If we don't go, it will be too late."
Wang Yue thought that Chen Pingping was probably preparing for a big purge. After all, Fan Xian had already arrived. Chen Pingping had to pave the way for Fan Xian, so he stood up, dragged Fan Xian, and followed the shadow to the inspection institute.
When I saw Chen Pingping in the forensic institute, he was still eating grapes leisurely. He didn't look like he was about to be assassinated.
Seeing him like this, Wang Yue knew what he was doing, so he sat down, picked up a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, and then said vaguely, "Tell me where to start cleaning."
Chen Pingping was not surprised by this. He smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but of course this kind of thing should be cleaned up at once."
Wang Yue glanced at the confused Fan Xian and said helplessly, "Are you planning to test Fan Xian?"
Chen Pingping didn't hide anything. He nodded and said, "This was Shadow's idea. He seemed to be trying Fan Xian. In fact, I don't think it is necessary."
Wang Yue glanced at the black-stamped shadow. He didn't know the man's true identity, so he smiled and said, "It's really unnecessary. You can do it yourself later, and I'll help you keep an eye on it to prevent the other party from accidentally injuring Dean Chen."
When Fan Xian heard that there was really a fight, he was eager to try his skills. After being promoted to the ninth level, he had not done much yet. He said to the shadow with a somewhat excited voice, "And I, I will help too."
But the shadow ignored Fan Xian. He just glanced at Wang Yue and stood there, waiting for people to rush in. He didn't seem to notice these people at all.
It turned out to be exactly what Wang Yue thought. Shadow's skills were indeed very suitable for such an occasion. Many seventh-level masters from the Inspection and Examination Institute assassinated Chen Pingping, and even several eighth-level masters. When the group attacked Chen Pingping, Shadow was killed alone.
Kill them cleanly.
Wang Yue watched the shadows killing each other like a piece of art, and smiled and said to Chen Pingping, "Although your plan is good, I'm just afraid that someone will dissatisfy Fan Xian."
Chen Pingping knew what Wang Yue was worried about, so he said calmly, "The Inspection Institute belongs to the lady, and it is natural that it should be handed over to Fan Xian. Anyone who refuses to accept will be killed until he does."
Fan Xian was very surprised when he saw Chen Pingping saying such harsh words calmly without any sense of disobedience. However, he felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the bad things in the palace, so his expression was not so natural.
Chen Pingping's eyes were so venomous, and Fan Xian's look did not escape his gaze. He asked doubtfully, "Are you not happy to be in charge of the inspection institute?"
Fan Xian knew that Chen Pingping sincerely cared about him, so he said truthfully, "I'm happy, but what I'm not happy about is that when entering the palace to thank her, the eldest princess personally admitted that she was the one who ordered the assassination in Niulan Street. She seemed to want to tempt me to do something to her.
"
Chen Pingping's eyes darkened and became a bit sinister. After a while, he said word by word, "That crazy woman is looking for death."
Fan Xian knew that the eldest princess deserved to die, but the eldest princess had a good daughter. He said with some confusion, "But she is Wan'er's mother."
Wang Yue rolled his eyes at Fan Xian and said with a bit of hatred, "As long as I'm not your Wan'er, what are you afraid of?"
Fan Xian was still a little confused. He thought for a long time and then gritted his teeth and said, "She killed me because of the inner treasury. I want the inner treasury's financial rights and let her lose this gold bag."
Wang Yue looked at Fan Xian and knew that he had this kind of character. It was probably because he had nothing to lose, so he didn't have any hatred in his heart, so he couldn't kill him.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue said nothing more. Anyway, he just wanted to ensure Fan Xian's safety and didn't want to worry about anything else.
Moreover, Fan Xian has reached the ninth level now, and Wang Yue is also looking for an opportunity to leave. It is not a problem that time is always wasted here.
Chen Pingping also saw it, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He felt that Fan Xian's kindness followed Ye Qingmei, which made him very happy.
.....
After this incident happened, the palace ordered Fan Xian to go to Honglu Temple to assist in negotiations. After a series of quarrels, a large wave of benefits was about to be obtained. The officials in charge of this matter were very happy.
What they didn't expect was that the Qing Kingdom was about to get the benefits they wanted, but news suddenly came from the Inspection Institute that Yan Bingyun, the chief spy of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the Inspection Institute, was about to be arrested, and the Northern Qi envoy suddenly became tough.
, causing the negotiations to reach a deadlock again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Until one day, Emperor Qing decreed that he could agree to Northern Qi's exchange of Sean for Yan Bingyun, but the territory he had conquered would never be withdrawn. This allowed Fan Xian and others to relax.
Take a breath.
With this decree, Honglu Temple also had a sense of proportion, and the negotiation was quickly concluded. The emperor was very satisfied with the result of the negotiation, and prepared to hold a grand celebration in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the palace, and specially invited envoys from the Northern Qi and Dongyi to accompany him.
Night banquets are places where accidents happen frequently, and this night banquet was no exception. The first half of the night banquet was very harmonious, but later at the banquet, Zhuang Mohan suddenly accused Fan Xian of the first half of the climb being his teacher's legacy.
You must know that Zhuang Mohan is regarded as a saint in the hearts of scholars all over the world. Such accusations will simply destroy Fan Xian.
Fortunately, Fan Xian was familiar with 300 Tang poems. He could not write poems but could also steal them. He memorized countless poems in one go. He also gave Zhuang Mohan a message, "I am not as good as you in memorizing poems and exegeting scriptures."
You are not as good as me. I am not good at being a literary person, but you are not good at being a human being."
Fan Xian pointed at his nose and cursed like this, which immediately made Zhuang Mohan vomit blood and fainted in shame. The scene became chaotic for a while, and then Fan Xian was sent back to the house.
Wang Yue also heard about Fan Xian's performance and knew that this guy was trying to create an alibi, so he didn't expose it. He just smiled and asked, "Xiao Xianxian, do you still have the energy to go steal the key from the palace?
"
Fan Xian trembled all over and woke up from the wine. He quickly said, "Let's set off right now."
Wang Yue admired Fan Xian's ability to control alcohol, but he didn't want to learn it. Anyway, every time he got really drunk, he had an affair.
Wang Yue patted Fan Xian's shoulder and saw that Fan Xian only shook his head and stabilized his body. He felt relieved and the three of them went to the vicinity of the palace together. He nodded to Wu Zhu and Fan Xian
Nodding, he headed towards the Queen Mother's palace, but before he got close to the palace, he saw a person lying on a roof.
Wang Yue glanced at the man and after confirming that it was Hong Sixiang, he turned around and ran away without saying anything else.
Seeing that Wang Yue was here and still wanting to leave, Hong Sichi simply ignored him and quickly followed him. The two of them chased each other without alerting anyone, and they quickly disappeared into the night.
Fan Xian saw Wang Yue and Hong Sichi walking away. When Wu Zhu left and returned, he also put on his face towel, climbed over the wall like a gecko, and headed towards the Queen Mother's palace.
Fan Xian's round went smoothly. He quickly found the key, went out to the place appointed by Wang Qinian, got a key, and returned it.
At this moment, Fan Xian remembered the eldest princess's inexplicable hatred towards him. He subconsciously headed towards Changxin Palace. This time, he really discovered the secret. He actually saw the eldest princess and Zhuang Mohan holding candles.
Night talk.
But when Fan Xian wanted to get closer and eavesdrop on what the two were talking about, he bumped into a palace maid and it was too late to hide.
Fan Xian took a quick look and found out that she was the eldest princess's personal maid, and immediately killed him. Although he was in the ninth rank, she was not something that a seventh rank maid could handle.
However, the palace maid was really loyal. Before she died, she deliberately kicked down the tiles and alerted the palace guards. Fan Xian could no longer care so much and quickly fled out of the palace.
The commotion made by the guards alerted the palace guard commander Yan Xiaoyi, who hurried over and chased after Fan Xian.
After all, Yan Xiaoyi is a master of the ninth level and is relatively familiar with the palace. He is not comparable to Fan Xian. Fan Xian had just escaped to the city wall when Yan Xiaoyi had already bent his bow and aimed an arrow at him.
At this moment, Wu Zhu appeared next to Yan Xiaoyi silently and swiped at him. Just to protect Fan Xian, the stick hit Yan Xiaoyi's bow and arrow, not Yan Xiaoyi.
Yan Xiaoyi was also calm in the face of danger. He subconsciously took a step back to give way, but still shot the arrow towards Fan Xian. Just because of dodging, the arrow that was originally shot with all his strength was reduced to 60%.
.
Even an arrow filled with 60% of his true energy was very powerful. Fan Xian had no time to dodge, so he blocked it with his own dagger and then fell down the city wall. However, with the Qinggong taught by Wang Yue, he was as slow as falling leaves.
It fell slowly and was not injured at all.
Wu Zhu originally wanted to continue chasing Yan Xiaoyi, but when he saw Fan Xian fall outside the city wall, he subconsciously waved the iron bar in his hand and hit Yan Xiaoyi, knocking Yan Xiaoyi away who had no time to dodge again.
If he didn't give chase, he immediately and quickly headed towards the place where Fan Xian landed.
...
As for Wang Yue, he had not led Hong Sichi far far before he knew through Hong Sichi's speed that this person was not a grand master at all, just a ninth-level master. He motioned to Wu Zhu to leave.
, and then lured Hong Sichi to the outside of the city.
Wang Yue, who was relieved, chased Hong Sitch and took Hong Sitch away for a while. When Hong Sitch wanted to turn around and go back, Wang Yue suddenly stopped.
Seeing Wang Yue stop, Hong Si was overjoyed. He struck him with one palm. This palm looked ordinary. Wang Yue could not even feel the turbulence of his true energy, but Wang Yue knew that it was Hong Si.
He didn't dare to be careless because it felt like he was condensing all his energy. After using Lingbo Weistep to get out of the way, he followed up with a sword move forward, as if he only wanted to attack and not defend.
Hong Sichi was a little surprised when he saw Wang Yue's sword. The sword's intention was very familiar, but it was more beautiful than the one he was familiar with. He immediately said in surprise, "You don't care about the future, you are Si Gu Jian."
Disciple!"
Wang Yue rolled his eyes at Hong Sichi. Such a beautiful move, with the momentum of a sword Guanghan Nineteen States, how could it be Sigu Jian's sword move? It was obviously a sword move from Xiaoyao Sect.
However, Wang Yue did not dispute the origin of the sword move. After slashing the air with one sword, he swung it away again, still full of momentum and moving forward indomitably.
Hong Sichi looked at Wang Yue's clever moves, but they were silent and did not cause any shock to the surrounding Qi. Knowing that Wang Yue's martial arts was at the ninth level, he quickly held his breath and concentrated on fighting Wang Yue.
Wang Yue was acting like a rogue with his Lingbo micro-steps and indomitable sword moves, but he still couldn't defeat Hong Si Itch. This made him realize how powerful the martial arts masters in this world are.
However, Wang Yue had already been prepared. No matter what, he was going to kill Hong Si Itch. After all, he had a vague feeling that Ye Qingmei's enemies might be people in the palace, including the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
Hong Si's itching grew louder and more anxious. He didn't expect that tonight's opponent would give in as much as him. If he didn't pay attention, he would explain it here. He also saw that Wang Yue was not Si Gu Jian's way, but that he had the momentum to move forward.
It was just like that. He had to take this news back, so he subconsciously wanted to leave.
However, it was not easy for him to leave, and Wang Yue kept insisting on him, which made Hong Sichi very depressed. The two of them were at odds with each other, and he really couldn't escape.
Hong Si was very cruel, and in a lose-lose posture, he no longer dodged Wang Yue's clever sword moves, and used 90% of his true energy to attack Wang Yue.
At this moment, an embroidery needle filled with solid energy seemed to have broken through the barrier of space and suddenly appeared behind Hong Si's head. It was not until the tip of the needle was about to pierce his scalp that Hong Si's reaction occurred.
