Lu Bingzhi, who had been standing silently in the front row of the court hall like a statue, suddenly took a step sideways and said loudly.
"The night before, an assassination occurred on Yonghe Street in the inner city of Kyoto."
Lu Bingzhi paused for a moment, ignoring the surprised looks of the surrounding ministers, and continued: "The assassins were three reborn martial arts cultivators from the Eight Meridians, and the assassin was Nie Yun, the top leader in alchemy today."
"According to the current situation known by the Yulong Guard, although Nie Yunqingkui was seriously injured, he was no longer alive. The three eight-line martial arts assassins...were all killed by Nie Yunqingkui."
As Lu Bingzhi finished speaking, the court hall, which had gradually become silent, began to hear small words again.
"What? He actually killed them all? Isn't he Qing Kui from the alchemy school?"
"I heard he is only seventeen years old!"
When everyone was shocked, they forgot that the theme of the matter was assassination... They were all shocked by the fact that Nie Yun killed three eight-line martial arts cultivators by himself. It was not until Lu Bingzhi's faint voice sounded again that they suddenly came back to their senses.
.
"His Majesty's personally appointed Martial Arts Leader, Elder of the Alchemist Association, was assassinated in Kyoto, or in the inner city. I believe that Jing Zhaoyin is mainly responsible for this!" Lu Bingzhi cupped his hand, and then said, "At the same time, there is a security issue in Kyoto.
This should not be underestimated, and I request that this matter be thoroughly investigated! This will prevent the entire capital from panic."
"His Majesty..."
Jing Zhaoyin, who was dressed in purple robes, hurriedly came out of the queue, but was interrupted by His Majesty's majestic voice just as he opened his mouth.
"Although Feng Qing is responsible for this matter, he is responsible for the security of the entire Kyoto. It is unrealistic to expect to be able to guard against three eight-line martial arts cultivators at every turn." His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and spoke lightly, but let the man in purple robe
Jing Zhaoyin was granted amnesty.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"But since someone dares to assassinate... Lu Qing in Kyoto, this matter will be handed over to you for thorough investigation. Feng Qing, you will fully assist the Yulong Guard in the investigation." His Majesty the Emperor's eyes were filled with light, and there was an indescribable and fascinating feeling.
Feeling, he said: "Be sure to find out the person behind him!"
"I obey the decree!"
"Then retire from the court." His Majesty the Emperor stood up leisurely and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight amidst the shouts of "Long Live" from the mountain.
On the way back from the court, the Minister of Punishment once again walked together with the young minister of Guanglu Temple who joined the court at the same time as him, and whispered: "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?"
The Young Minister of Guanglu Temple frowned slightly and shook his head: "Your Majesty's thoughts... are difficult to fathom, but I feel that Your Majesty is reminding or slapping some people."
The people present were all human beings. It didn’t take much thinking to know that His Majesty had naturally known about the so-called assassination case in Kyoto for a long time. Lu Bingzhi was reporting to His Majesty on the surface, but in fact he was telling them.
And Lu Bingzhi, the royal loyal dog, told them that it was His Majesty who was telling them.
"Hiss, hiss... Do you think this is His Majesty trying to beat up the Qian family?" The Minister of Punishment took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Dr. Qian didn't seem to say a word during this morning's court meeting!"
"Be careful!" the Young Minister of Guanglu Temple shouted in a low voice. After looking around, he said: "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door. We, little shrimps, are lucky if we don't get involved."
"That's what I can say..."
...
There was an undercurrent in various parts of Kyoto due to Nie Yun's assassination, but Nie Yun, who was the protagonist of the incident, was completely unaware of it. He didn't even know that his name was already in Kyoto, or that it was widely spread among the upper echelons of Daqian.
He single-handedly defeated three martial arts cultivators who were reborn from the Eight Meridians. Such a record shocked them, causing many people to call Nie Yun the "real martial arts master" instead of the so-called alchemy master.
At the same time, many dignitaries wanted to take this opportunity to visit Nie Yun and establish a good relationship. However, no matter how much they inquired, they never found out the real address of this "Martial Arts Leader". They only vaguely heard that he lived in " "Xiao Mansion"...But there are so many Xiao Mansions in Kyoto, they don't have the guts to try them one by one...
Elders Shen Ding and Shen Dan originally wanted to visit through Shen Ling'er's relationship, but the news that Nie Yun lived in the eldest princess's mansion... well... it was best not to be known to others, so Shen Ling The son then declined the kindness of her father and her grandfather by acting as a teacher.
This also means that Nie Yun at this time still doesn't know what is going on outside. He can only lie leisurely on the bed every day, enjoying the feeding of his senior sister who is gradually becoming "less" rough...
Unconsciously it has been several days.
Nie Yun grimaced and opened his mouth. When the spoon was removed from his mouth, he said helplessly: "Hey, senior sister, it's been a few days and my internal injuries are almost healed. Why don't you let me go out for a walk?" ah."
"Then it's not completely healed yet." Han Yue glanced at her mouth and handed over the spoon in her hand again: "Here, ah~"
"Ah~wuwu." Nie Yun opened his mouth subconsciously, and then said helplessly: "Then at least, I can do things like eating by myself."
"No, you can't." Han Yue rolled her eyes.
She has finally gained some experience in feeding people, how can she be asked to let her junior brother go like this? Although, she probably won't be able to feed others like this in the future, but if junior brother does this again in the future... Bah, bah, bah, Anyway, there are so many skills that it’s not overwhelming!
"Eh..." Nie Yun sighed, feeling that he might not be able to eat by himself before returning to the academy...
Suddenly there was a crunching sound, followed by a slightly excited voice.
"Yueyue, Yueyue, I heard that the mastermind behind Xiaoyunzi's assassination was caught." Xiao Xue pushed open the door and saw the slightly rough feeding scene in front of her. She was already used to it. , Take care of your own way.
"Huh?" Han Yue's hand movements suddenly stopped, her eyebrows furrowed quietly, and there was a rare hint of chill in her sweet voice: "Who is it?"
"Third-grade Taichang Qing, He Mao." Xiao Xue paused and then said: "But when the Yulong Guards were about to go to arrest him, He Mao had already set his house on fire and committed suicide with his whole family."
"No wonder it was so chaotic outside just now." Nie Yun curled his lips and said, "Suicide also affects others."
"Haha, once He Mao's assassination of you is exposed, the best situation would be for the men to be sent into exile and the women to serve as official prostitutes. It would be better to die." Xiao Xue rolled her eyes.
In fact, it is not uncommon for the entire family to be buried in the event of an accident.
Firstly, as Xiao Xue said, knowing that what he had committed would affect the young and old, it would be better to die. Secondly, it was also because a fire burned everything, and one or two insignificant corpses were missing. The government It is impossible to pursue this extensively, and maybe some bloodline can be preserved.
"Then he is sick and wants to kill me!" Nie Yun thought to himself. He had been living in Kyoto for so many months, but he only had two decent identities. One was the "Martial Arts Qingkui" personally named by the emperor. , the other is the alchemist elder, but these two identities... one is symbolic and has no practical significance, and the other is the identity of the alchemy association that you, Taichang Qing, can't compete with. How can you offend me? it's your turn???
"And it stands to reason that a third-grade official shouldn't have the financial resources to hire three Eight-Pulse martial arts cultivators to take action, right?" Han Yue frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.
According to what Xiao Xue said before, there are only ten fingers in the entire Kyoto that can afford three eight-line martial arts cultivators to take action at the same time... And a third-level disciple is obviously not one of the ten.
"Of course he, a third-grade Taichang Qing, has no need to assassinate Nie Yun, and it is impossible for him to have the financial resources to ask the Twelve Prime Ministers to take action, but..." Xiao Xue nodded lightly, with a hint of anger in his eyes, Said: "But this guy turned out to be Can Yue's craftsman! It's a shame that my father... Da Gan treated him like this!"
"That's not right... I didn't do anything, and Can Yue gave up a craftsmanship that he has cultivated for who knows how long just to kill me?" Nie Yun scratched his head, looking quite helpless. How could this involve Can Yue? Where did he go? He really hoped that the mastermind behind the scenes was the Qian family. Then he would have a target to prevent or retaliate. Unlike now, where he was completely confused, even what he had done had made Can Yue give up. One of them has climbed to the point where Taichang Qing from the third rank wants to kill him.
"Haha, you still don't know your fame?" Xiao Xue glanced sideways at Nie Yun and said, "Since His Majesty announced the list of the Twelve Young Leaders, although the world is excited and knows that in the prosperous period of my reign, I have surpassed the past in all aspects. But in contrast to this, the other eleven leaders are all controversial, but you are the only one who has no controversy."
"Coupled with the government's encouragement, you have almost become a role model for the younger generation of Da Gan, a flag! And Can Yue wants to cut off your flag and attack my Da Gan, isn't it natural?"
"In addition, there are many people who know about your feud with the Qian family. Assassinating you will probably cause turmoil in the entire Daqian officialdom. At that time, the Alchemist Association will not be able to sit back and watch its elders being assassinated and remain indifferent... "Speaking of this, even Xiao Xue couldn't help but look Nie Yun up and down.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if I don't kill you, who will I kill?"
"...How could I not know that I am so powerful?" Nie Yun's face twitched slightly: "If I go out in the future, I will have to take two bodyguards with me?"
"That's not the case. The fact that they can build up such a foundation under the eyes of the Fish Dragon Guard is already the limit. After inviting the Twelve Prime Ministers this time, at least they won't be able to do anything else in the past few years!" Xiao Xue waved her hand casually and looked very confident to the Yulong Guard: "As for the Twelve Prime Ministers, you don't have to worry. A killer organization will not be so stupid as to seek revenge on the assassin."
"However, this time the death of three of the twelve prime ministers is probably quite painful for them. It is not an easy task to recruit three more eight-meridian martial arts cultivators."
"Oh, you don't need to tell me about the Twelve Prime Ministers. But you said that the Yulong Guard is so powerful, why can't the guys from Can Yue sneak in?" Nie Yun curled his lips and added. : "And you've even let others get to the third level!"
"Fuck you!" Xiao Xue pursed her red lips high: "It has only been twenty years since the founding of the country. Most of the current pillars of the country in their thirties and forties have experienced Canyue's rule, although most of them are disgusted by his rule. But after all, Rencanyue had been ruling for hundreds of years before I started, and there are always a few diehards. As long as they don't show up, how can we check them?"
"Uh..." Nie Yun was silent... This seems to be really hard to find out... After all, all the people over twenty years old in Daqian were once citizens of the Yue Dynasty...
"And the existence of the Fish Dragon Guard has almost turned these 'die loyalists' into 'disposable props'. If you jump out, you will almost certainly be caught. How about you???"
"Uh..." Nie Yun was silent again... This chapter has been completed!
