Volume 1 The Great Work Chapter 5: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Zuihonglou is one of the top restaurants throughout Daqian Kingdom. It also has a branch in Qingzhou City, located on Fengxi Street, the most prosperous street in Qingzhou City.
Fengxi Street is more than thirty feet wide, enough to accommodate eight carriages running parallelly. It is the widest and most prosperous street in Qingzhou City.
There are many tall shops and restaurants on both sides of Fengxi Street, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.
The Zuihong Building in Qingzhou is located in the center of Fengxi Street. It has six floors and is more than 20 feet high, standing out from the crowd.
At this moment, in a private room on the third floor of Zuihong Building, various delicacies were placed on a large round table. Two people were sitting at the top, drinking and chatting. The waiters and subordinates were standing outside the door.
The whole house seemed empty.
The man on the left looks to be in his thirties or forties, with a long face, eagle eyes, and a strong build. He is wearing a blue gown. He is Li Wenhong, the general magistrate of Qingzhou.
The man on the right looks older, has gray hair on his temples, is thin, has a square face, and is much softer together, but has narrow eyes that become a slit when narrowed, giving off a faint Cold light.
His name is Guan Qingsheng, he is the imperial censor, and he was appointed as the imperial envoy to inspect Qingzhou.
"Master Guan, let me toast you again. I will have to rely on Master Guan in the future." Li Wenhong raised his glass and said with a smile.
"As long as you do the things in front of you well, everything in the future will be easy." Guan Qingsheng raised his glass and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, this plan is interconnected and there is no chance of any accidents..." Li Wenhong drank the wine in one gulp and said confidently.
Boom, boom, boom!
A rapid knock on the door interrupted Li Wenhong's words.
"Master Guan, this must be here to deliver good news. It seems that Ran'er has successfully completed the first step." Li Wenhong said with a smile to Guan Qingsheng, and then said loudly to the door: "Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and a young man in Tsing Yi rushed in with an anxious look. He was Li Wenhong's eldest son, Li Jian.
Li Wenhong smiled and asked: "Jian'er, is there any good news from your brother?"
Li Jian saw Li Wenhong's smiling face and shook his head stiffly, but hesitated to speak.
Seeing Li Jian's face, Li Wenhong was half awake, his smile suddenly faded, and he asked: "What happened?"
Li Jian said: "Ye Hao and Zhang Ruo'er walked out of the alley. The younger brother and two of his men were killed. The two men were kicked to pieces, and the younger brother had his head smashed. According to this speculation , it should have been done by a master in the Chinese martial arts realm!
But my people have guarded both alley entrances, and no one has entered this alley during this period!"
Li Wenhong's face turned gloomy and he said, "It must be that little bitch Zhang Ruo'er who took advantage of Ran'er's unpreparedness and took action!"
Guan Qingsheng, who was sitting on the side, did not change his expression and said with a smile: "Master Li, guessing who did it at this time is of little significance. Since there is an accident, just make up for it and come back."
Li Wenhong lost his beloved son, and was heartbroken for a while, but he didn't expect that Guan Qingsheng was like a normal person. He secretly cursed Guan Qingsheng in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He took a deep breath and said: "Master Guan's words are very serious. , although the accident in this link was beyond my expectation, it is nothing. Since my son is dead, we can go directly to Zhizhou Mansion tomorrow to ask for the murderer, and let Zhang He kill Zhang Ruoer and Ye Hao with his own hands! If he refuses, Just flatten the Zhizhou capital!"
Guan Qingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "As long as it is under Master Li's control, I will send people to fully support you."
"Thank you, Master Guan!"
"Brother, why are you so polite? Come on, keep drinking."
…
On the way back with Zhang Ruoer, Ye Yuntian also looked at the warriors in Qingzhou City and found that the warriors here were indeed very weak. Warriors like Zhang Ruoer who were in the middle martial arts realm were very rare. He walked through several prosperous streets and only saw a few of them.
This is the level of entry into the realm of Chinese martial arts for the first time.
This made him curious. Who in the world of Qingzhou had the courage to plot against his uncle, who was a highly skilled martial artist?
And for what?
If it was just for the position of governor, he didn't think it would be enough.
After all, once your strength reaches a certain level, this secular official position is not that noble at all.
The greater possibility is that his uncle has considerable cultivation resources, so someone secretly made a plan to deal with him.
However, these speculations flashed through Ye Yuntian's mind, and he did not take them seriously.
With his current level of cultivation at the ninth level of Zhongwu, he can defeat any conspiracy or conspiracy in Qingzhou with one sword.
"Cousin, why are you so powerful all of a sudden?" Zhang Ruoer followed Ye Yuntian and couldn't help but ask.
Ye Yuntian did not hide anything, and said: "Before, my body was planted with a restriction, which sealed the Qi and blood, causing the medicinal power of Tiancai Dibao to accumulate in my body. Now that I have released the restriction, the medicinal power exploded instantly.
, transformed into cultivation, so it has reached the middle martial arts realm."
Ye Yuntian said it was very simple, but in fact it was very dangerous.
The power of those medicines suddenly exploded, and the bodies of ordinary middle-level warriors could not bear it.
Because the Supreme Godhead was connected with his bloodline to protect his body and removed all the impurities that accumulated medicinal power in his body, he successfully entered the ninth level of Zhongwu.
"Wow~" Zhang Ruo'er exclaimed, envious of Ye Yuntian's direct breakthrough. She had worked hard for so many years to reach the Zhongwu realm, but was surpassed by her cousin all of a sudden. However, she is straightforward in nature, and she was happy for Ye Yuntian.
Not jealous.
"Cousin, who put the restriction on you?" Zhang Ruoer came back to his senses and asked again.
Ye Yuntian said: "I guess he is from the capital."
Zhang Ruoer fell silent. Although she was young, she was also very clear about Ye Hao's origins. She knew who the people in the capital that Ye Hao was talking about were referring to.
The one in the capital, to them at this moment, was a giant.
At this moment, Ye Yuntian mentioned this without much emotion. After finishing Zhang He's enemies, he went to the capital to find his parents in this life, inquire about the origin of the Supreme Godhead, and at the same time break the bonds of this life.
"Cousin, you have reached the realm of Chinese martial arts, are you still afraid of my mother?" Zhang Ruoer felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he changed the subject and asked.
Ye Yuntian smiled and said: "My cultivation is all derived from the spiritual materials provided by my uncle. Although my aunt doesn't like me very much and sometimes her words are unpleasant, I won't go to the hospital just because of this.
She broke her skin. I grew up in your family and have an uncle and a very cute cousin like you. I feel very lucky."
What Ye Yuntian said was true. In this life, although his father didn't treat him well, his uncle and cousin were really good to him.
As for his relatives in the previous life, he could no longer remember them... He only remembered that when he was very young, he was fighting with a knife and had no idea who his parents were.
"While I was talking, why did I suddenly become emotional? I'm really not used to it... Haha..." Zhang Ruo'er scratched his head and laughed, like a strong man who was confessed, a little at a loss, and then said in a voice like a mosquito, "I too
I feel very lucky.”
Ye Yuntian had already seen the stone lion in front of the gate of Zhizhou Mansion. His thoughts were a little racing and he didn't hear clearly what Zhang Ruoer said last sentence.
The two of them had just crossed the threshold and met a young woman wearing a pink dress. She had a standard oval face, bright eyes and white teeth, and a smile that made people feel like spring breeze. However, when she caught sight of Ye Yuntian from the corner of her eyes, there was a faint twinkle in her eyes.
Too disdainful.
Ye Yuntian raised his head and looked at each other, recognizing this person as one of his aunt's two personal maids, Ling'er.
When Ye Yuntian saw Ling'er, he couldn't help but take a second look. His aunt was an ordinary person with no cultivation, but he could see that Ling'er had reached the middle martial arts realm. She hid her realm very well, and generally the middle martial arts realm
The warrior can't see it at all.
"Ling'er has met Miss, Master Hao!" She walked up to the two of them, bowed slightly and said.
Zhang Ruo'er smiled at her and said: "Sister Ling'er, I told you not to be polite, but you are still so polite. Are you going out?"
Ling'er smiled and said, "No, I'm waiting for Master Hao here. Madam has arrangements."
Zhang Ruoer asked: "What did my mother arrange for my cousin to do?"
Ling'er smiled sweetly and said: "Empty the toilet, otherwise the stench will be overwhelming when you go to the toilet."
Ye Yuntian couldn't help but laugh. This aunt was also a bit interesting. In order to let him empty the toilet, she actually asked the maid in the Zhongwu realm who was waiting next to her to wait here. He really didn't expect it.
He didn't want to waste time here, so he said to Zhang Ruo'er: "Cousin, don't forget what you promised me. I have something else to do, so I'll go back to my room first."
After Ye Yuntian finished speaking, he walked around Ling'er and walked straight inside.
"Stop!" Ling'er called to Ye Yuntian.
Ye Yuntian stopped, turned back to look at Ling'er, and frowned.
Ling'er said calmly: "Master Hao, Madam arranged this herself and asked me to supervise it. I think Master Hao should empty the toilet. This is good for you and me. Otherwise, Madam will get angry, but you can't
