Chapter 144 Entering the palace, be careful with words and deeds
Wang Ranran looked at the dead people on the ground with some surprise.
"Who is so bold in the middle of the night?"
The frightened Xia Shuning was breathing heavily, her heart was about to jump into her throat, and the pupils of her eyes were infinitely dilated. She was just so close to death that she felt paralyzed and weak.
His trembling body slowly sat on the ground.
Covering his chest with both hands, he stared at the dead man and was speechless for a long time.
Zhang sighed slowly: "Fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise I really don't know what to do. It seems that your chess game is not useless."
When Wang Ranran heard what he said, he didn't know whether he was praising himself or joking. He kept rubbing the black and white chess pieces in his hand and smiled: "My chess game looks different every day, like an ordinary Qi cultivator relying on
The ones I hold are swords and other weapons, while the Othello in my hand is capricious..."
Unknowingly, Wang Ranran began to brag. Zhang slowly had no intention of listening to what he was saying. He lowered his head and looked at Xia Shuning, who was still in panic, and said: "Miss Xia, you are so offensive. I will investigate this matter thoroughly today.
You'd better go back to the house and rest early! Wang Ranran, hurry up and help Miss Xia back to the house!"
Wang Ranran said a lot, thinking that Zhang slowly would praise him again, but he didn't expect that he would play the piano to a bull. He shook his head helplessly and whispered to Xia Shuning: "I'm sorry, Miss Xia, let's go, I'll help you."
go back!"
Xia Shuning slowly recovered and stood up, but her eyes were still a little dazed. After being helped away by Wang Ranran, Zhang was left in a daze in front of the empty yard.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, there was a slight fluctuation between his brows. The current Haotian Pavilion was shameless and used people from the Ye Mei Sect to sneak attack the academy. This behavior seriously threatened the palace and even the entire imperial city. As he thought, he knelt down and searched carefully.
After taking off the clothes of the corpse, I found a letter hidden in his sleeve.
To put it simply, he was told to turn the academy upside down and make it too busy to take care of itself, and he also knew that the master was not in the academy.
Zhang Manman was startled in his heart. It turned out that this person was not here specifically to kill anyone, but to cause trouble to the academy so that it would have no time to take care of other things. But how did they know that the master was not here? Could it be that the disciples in the academy really
There are also people from Haotian Pavilion who have infiltrated? Thinking of this picture, I slowly and suddenly felt a chill in my back.
If this is true, and even the disciples of the academy are controlled by Haotian Pavilion, then what will happen to the entire continent of Qi Cultivators?
Zhang Manman, who couldn't help but fall into deep thought, squatted next to the corpse for the whole night.
The next day, in the early morning, the sun still rose. In order not to cause panic to his junior brothers, Zhang Manman buried the body of Ye Mei Zong.
Wang Ranran also knew about this and came to Zhang Manman's room early in the morning.
"Elder brother, I have thought about what happened last night many times and I still can't figure it out. If that person is really from the Ye Mei Sect, he can't be just one person!"
Wang Ranran's words made Zhang slowly bewildered.
"What's more than one person?"
Wang Ranran rubbed the black and white chess pieces, and his hand speed could not help but speed up, looking very nervous: "Everyone in the Ye Mei Sect knows that this sect is mainly assassination. If the assassination fails, or the mission fails, there will be people behind.
By the way, don’t you know that even ordinary assassins have back-ups, let alone assassin sects like this!”
Wang Ranran's words reminded Zhang Manman, and he hurriedly returned to the house, picked up his weapon and said to Wang Ranran: "Come to the palace with me. Xu Qingnian and senior Bai Qinghe are in the palace at this time. This
We have to let them know. They are seniors and know more than us. Maybe they have some countermeasures."
Wang Ranran nodded and was about to leave with him when he suddenly stopped and turned around and asked: "Senior Brother, now there is no one in charge of the academy except you. What will happen to the academy when you leave?"
Zhang slowly ran out quickly, and said as he ran: "How can we take care of that now? If it is as you said, more than one person from the Ye Mei Sect came to the academy to carry out a sneak attack, then the seriousness of this matter can be imagined.
You know, it’s better to tell them as soon as possible!”
After that, he took out the Xuantian Infinite Ruler on his body while running, and it flew into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Ranran took out the chessboard behind him, and with one stroke of his finger, the chessboard turned into a tray, which directly held Wang Ranran and flew into the sky.
Xu Qingnian and Bai Qinghe, who were in the palace at this time, stood helplessly on both sides of the palace, like the bodyguards of Emperor Shang. This was fine for Bai Qinghe, but for Xu Qingnian, this was
It was clearly torture, but I couldn't just ignore the Master's instructions, so I had no choice but to endure it.
Xu Qingnian glanced at Bai Qinghe: "Bai Qinghe, there is nothing going on in this palace. Why do you think Master has to let us two guard here?"
Bai Qinghe looked at the sun above his head and said with a slight smile: "Master is not that boring. Don't you know that this is Emperor Shang's request? What can Master do? Just stand and watch for a few days. If nothing happens, Shang
The Emperor will let us go. At least Emperor Shang has a lot of confidential matters around him and there are many people coming and going. Even if we want to stay forever, Emperor Shang won't let us go!"
Bai Qinghe said a lot, as if he didn't say anything at all. After hearing this, Xu Qingnian glanced at it with disdain and said: "There are so many things in the academy, how can one Zhang slowly handle it..."
"Who is coming!"
The palace guards blocked Zhang Manman and Wang Ranran's path, took a closer look and quickly put their hands down.
"It turns out it's Mr. Da and Mr. Seven from the academy. What's going on with you two?"
When the guard saw that he was a disciple of the academy, he immediately became humble.
"Why don't you two take the north gate of the palace?"
Zhang Manman didn't want to say anything more to him. He just scrawled something: "The north gate is too far from the imperial palace. We are here to find Xu Qingnian and senior Bai Qinghe. I heard that they are in front of the imperial palace."
The two guards thought for a while and found no reason to stop the academy disciples, so they nodded and said: "Exactly, please come in then!"
Zhang Manman and Wang Ranran walked in without saying a word. The palace was very big. Even if you enter from the main entrance of the palace, you still have to walk for a while. Just as Wang Ranran was about to fly over with the chessboard again, Zhang Manman pushed him down.
Go down.
"The Imperial City is the Imperial City, and the Imperial Palace is the Imperial Palace. Emperor Shang allowed our academy disciples to fly freely in the Imperial City, but he did not allow you to fly freely in the Imperial Palace. Take the chessboard back quickly!"
Wang Ranran was a little uncomfortable seeing Zhang Manman suddenly be so timid: "Senior Brother, you are famous for your short temper. Why are you so cautious when you get to the palace? It's not like you at all!"
Zhang slowly looked at the imperial palace not far ahead, turned around and said in a low voice: "Emperor Shang is the only immortal person in the Qi Cultivator Continent since ancient times. No one knows what masters he has around him.
, When I accompanied the Master to the palace many years ago, I heard a person in the palace say that all the masters around Emperor Shang are above the Master." Wang Ranran curled his lips without interest: "Exactly.
, In my eyes, Master’s cultivation is like heaven, you want me to believe that there are people stronger than Master, Dreaming!”
Soon the two of them arrived in front of the palace. Xu Qingnian saw that it was Zhang Manman and said hurriedly: "Why are you here?"
Bai Qinghe was also very surprised, but instead he was worried about his daughter: "If you two come, who will protect my daughter?"
"What happened?"
Wang Ranran's words were much faster than Zhang's, and he immediately told what happened last night.
"Ye Mei Sect? Why did they get involved?" Bai Qinghe lowered his head and thought, but Xu Qingnian sneered: "Master once told me that apart from Haotian Pavilion, Ye Mei Sect is the most difficult to deal with. They
He is neither a well-known person nor an evil force, but he has never had a good reputation for accepting money to take lives. Speaking of using money to do things for the people of Haotian Pavilion, this is not unusual at all."
"But what Wang Ranran said is right. No matter what the Ye Mei Sect, I have also fought against them. Their sect generally does not have a single person to perform tasks, at least two people go together."
Wang Ranran patted Zhang slowly on the shoulder and said loudly: "Look, I'm just saying, Ye Mei Sect is not that easy to deal with, let's go back quickly! What if people from Ye Mei Sect sneak attack now?
good?"
When Bai Qinghe heard that it was the people from the Ye Mei Sect, he smiled instead: "I thought it was the people from the Haotian Pavilion who made a sneak attack, but it turned out to be from the Ye Mei Sect. It's okay. Their cultivation level can't deal with any of the disciples in the academy. Go back early."
, it will be the same if we go back late.”
Zhang slowly looked at the two seniors in front of him and asked incomprehensively: "Are you just standing here? Are you standing here to serve as bodyguards for Emperor Shang?"
Xu Qingnian shook his head helplessly and said: "When Master left, he specifically asked us to protect Emperor Shang's safety. Haotian Pavilion has been taking great action recently. Protecting the palace and protecting Emperor Shang is the primary purpose of our academy."
Even if Xu Qingnian said this, everyone else could see that he was the last person willing to do such a thing.
Bai Qinghe mockingly said to Xu Qingnian: "Speak some human words. Just now you had a look of complaint on your face, and now you are so proud in front of the juniors! Old Xu, you are so fake,
When the Master kicked you out of the academy, you really didn't miss it!"
Xu Qingnian was very angry when he heard him talking sarcastically here. He slowly walked towards Bai Qinghe on the other side and said: "Emperor Shang stipulated that you are not allowed to fly in the palace, and there is no rule that you are not allowed to fight in the palace. Don't you want to
Force me to do it!"
Zhang slowly looked at the two of them eager to try, and quickly raised his hands and shouted loudly: "You two seniors don't need to make trouble anymore, the most important thing is to find a way back to the academy as soon as possible!"
"In that case, you two should go back. The academy is in trouble, and we can't let you stand here doing nothing."
Before Wang Ranran finished speaking, it turned out that Emperor Shang came out of the palace.
When the four of them saw it was Emperor Shang, they knelt down respectively.
"Long live Emperor Shang, long live!"
"You go back, I've seen that you two are not happy at all. Letting you stand outside the palace as guards is overkill. There is nothing important in the palace now. You two go back to the academy first and deal with the affairs of the academy.
Let’s do it.”
Xu Qingnian raised his eyebrows, stared at Bai Qinghe, and then said: "But Emperor Shang, this is the order given to us by Master..."
Emperor Shang said impatiently: "Go back, I will personally explain it to your master then...!"
