The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 118 A Secret Letter (Leader Adds More)

Xu Xiurong turned his head and left.

Ji Pingan reluctantly took out his money bag, bought two bags of preserved eggs under the envious eyes of the shop owner, paired it with the exclusive dipping sauce, and stuffed it into the hands of the female supervisor.

As for being mistaken for a husband and wife... One is an old monster who has lived for many years and is used to seeing wind and rain, and the other is also a dignified prisoner, and he didn't take it to heart after a short embarrassment.

In the night market.

The two of them held a bag of preserved eggs, dipped wooden sticks in their hands and ate them, and talked about business.

"I called you here alone. The main thing is to talk about the big prize. Are you sure you want to participate?"

Xu Xiurong took a bite of the warm preserved egg, swallowed it whole, pinched the other half with green onion fingers, and asked in a low voice.

Ji Pingan didn't even look at her, and said:

"Didn't I tell you this a long time ago? God is rewarding you, it's a rare opportunity."

Xu Xiurong said "En", expressing his agreement.

She didn't know Ji Ping'an's real purpose, but from the perspective of practice, it was beneficial to participate.

In addition to many rewards, the most important thing is the opportunity for the younger generation of the major factions to fight against each other, as well as the reputation they have gained.

It sounds a bit hypocritical, but if you look at it over a long period of time, the future achievements of those who have participated in the awards and those who have not participated are very different.

Xu Xiurong said:
"You can give it a try with your cultivation and mind, and the biggest advantage is that no one understands your fighting style, while the rest of you have more or less information to refer to..."

She analyzed a wave of advantages. She wanted to talk about the disadvantages. After thinking about the explanation for a long time, she only choked out one sentence:
"Just less experience."

Only then did I realize that Ji Ping'an really seemed to have a good chance of winning.

This is true whether it is his familiarity with the tactics of the major factions, or the mentality and methods he has shown in repeatedly killing the enemy.

But just two or three months ago, when I first learned that he was going to participate, I was still not optimistic about it.

When did the transition happen?

Yes, it was he who showed his uniqueness again and again, gradually changing the opinions of many people.

Especially after tonight, this name will also come out of Qin Tianjian for the first time.

"Indeed." Ji Pingan nodded in agreement. He did not have any experience in participating in the God's Capital Awards.

After all, it's too low-level, and the most I can do is show up in my original capacity.

Xu Xiurong said:
"You have an idea, and I don't need to tell you too much. The schedule for tonight's awards is almost finished, and it will be officially announced in two days. You should prepare yourself."

Ji Pingan nodded, thinking that he really had to increase the amount of training for the "Tianbang Squad".

Get them ready and don't hold back.

Xu Xiurong bit half of the preserved egg on the bamboo stick into his mouth, and licked the sauce from the corner of his mouth with his fragrant tongue.

Looking up at the night sky, I suddenly had strong expectations for the grand prize in a few days.

Well, those people will probably be surprised when they learn that Ji Ping'an will also participate.

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Yuanqing sat in the room, behind him were all kinds of antique "bogu racks", bright yellow curtains hung, and in front of him was a teapot licking the bottom of a cup with orange-red charcoal fire.

When he drank the tea in the cup again, the impatience in his heart reached its peak.

At this time, there were finally hurried and chaotic footsteps coming from far and near outside.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lu and the others are asking to see you!"

Eunuch Deng hurriedly appeared at the door with his fly whisk in his hand.

With thick black and shiny black hair, Emperor Yuan Qing, who was in his prime, was shocked and said:
"Bring it in."

Not long after, a group of courtiers who represented the imperial court and participated in today's Luming Banquet arrived. Everyone was placed outside, and they were big figures who stomped their feet and shook the ground three times.

But at this moment, they were all trembling like quails.

Without it, although there is no danger tonight, when things happen, they happen.

Someone has to take the blame for letting the monster killers into the hospital. On the way here, everyone was thinking about how to shirk responsibility.

"What's going on? But there was an accident at the Lu Ming Banquet? What happened, please tell me in detail."

Emperor Yuan Qing's eyes were sharp, and he scanned the crowd, keenly aware that something was wrong.

"Duke, it's up to you." A group of ministers looked at each other.

Finally, the Minister of Rites, who was wearing a crimson official robe, looked at the old man beside him.

After all, it was the old man who endured all this... Lu Guogong was expressionless, facing the emperor's sharp eyes, took a deep breath, and began to explain in detail:

"Report to Your Majesty..."

He did not directly mention the assassination, after all, there are many causes and consequences involved in this incident, and the highlight is not the only one.

Therefore, "linear narrative" was chosen.

From the time Mr. Zhang recognized Ji Pingan, the two were tricked and left by the killer.

Then the people who were discussing saw Jian Guang and rushed away, and Qi Hongmian and Xin Yaoguang came one after another... At the end, the climax stage.

Ji Pingan talked eloquently and told the story of the incident, but just when everyone thought the incident was over, Gao Mingjing opened his mouth to take off the former's vest.

Lu Guogong said that his mouth was dry, and he didn't feel it at the time. This will be told to others, and he suddenly realized:

This night was really ups and downs, twists and turns.

But when the whole story was heard by Emperor Yuanqing, Eunuch Deng and others, there was even more surprise and astonishment.

"You mean, the Yaozu were so bold that they wanted to provoke Qi Hongmian to fight against the imperial court? The result was that Ji Pingan broke the situation? And behind all this was his secret arrangement with Xin Yaoguang? Back then, Mo Lin performed martial arts with two people. Cooperate?"

Emperor Yuanqing asked in disbelief.

The Minister of Rites said: "What the Duke said is not false, we all witnessed the whole process, but the specifics of the case are yet to be investigated. Now it is just an inference."

The rest of the officials nodded, indicating that it was indeed so.

Emperor Yuanqing fell silent, as if he was digesting this information. After a long time, he let out a long breath, thought for a while, and said:
"What do you think about this matter?"

The Minister of Rites handed over:

"Your Majesty is guilty of negligence, I implore your majesty to come down!"

A group of officials behind him echoed in unison, they are all veterans in the officialdom.

Seeing this, Emperor Yuanqing was agitated for a while, and said coldly:
"The monster clan has repeatedly made troubles. It's just that the big reward is held at the time, and they want to destroy it. It is said that the three judges, the governor of the government office, will enter the palace immediately. If there is no confession this time, don't take this official skin Already!"

"Here!"

The princes responded and left the room.

They couldn't help but all heaved a sigh of relief, slightly surprised that the emperor didn't take his anger out on them.

But who cares...Let San Fasi have a headache next, Lu Guogong and other old fritters thought gloatingly.

……

……

That night, the left-behind members of the major sects also learned of everything that happened at the Luming Banquet through their fellow sects.

I couldn't help but regretted that I couldn't go to participate, and I missed such a good show.

Early the next morning, the whole thing began to spread to a wider population.

Baita Temple.

"Abbot, abbot!"

A young monk pushed open the courtyard door hung with morning dew, his bald head shimmering in the morning sun.

Master Xue Ting was practicing a set of health-preserving boxing techniques in the courtyard. His movements were slow but fluid. Hearing this, he asked without changing his movements:
"Why are you panicking?"

The monk took a breath and said excitedly:

"What you sent me to investigate last night has come to fruition."

"Oh?" Xue Ting stopped his movements slowly, his gray eyebrows raised, and his expression was compassionate and serene:

"It seems that what happened last night was quite exciting."

"Wonderful, so wonderful." The young monk was a little incoherent, and immediately recounted the news of the inquiry vividly.

The period was not interrupted. When he finished speaking in one breath, he noticed the surprised expression on the face of the old monk in front of him.

"Ji Pingan..."

Master Xue Ting chewed on this name, and couldn't help but think of the scene when the other party left him a verse in the noodle restaurant that day.

That young man was actually a disciple of Qin Tianjian, recommended by the national teacher... No wonder he appeared in the noodle shop, and the national teacher had mentioned it.

"Right, one more thing."

The young monk said:
"The officials of the third division and the government office were called into the palace late last night. Early in the morning, the speed of patrolling the streets was doubled. It was also said that there was a servant who was replaced by a killer who was salvaged from the river two days ago. The disfigured corpse was picked up, but the other servant who was replaced by the demon clan, the corpse has not been found, it may have been eaten."

"Amitabha."

Master Xue Ting clasped his palms together, with a compassionate expression, and faced the rising sun, he recited the mantra of passing away.

……

Hidden Sword Restaurant.

As a place where people from the rivers and lakes gather, the restaurant has become more and more lively in the past two days.

In the early morning, a pair of brothers and sisters dressed as Jianghu people walked out of the inn and walked towards the restaurant together with the accompanying old servant.

On the way, wrapped in a dark red sarong, the short girl showed worry:

"Brother, Juxian Village is very powerful. It is said that the owner of the village broke the five realms very early. Maybe we can think of other ways."

The young man next to her was dressed as a young hero, with a scar on his forehead, his expression was firm, he glanced at the little girl, and comforted him:
"Don't worry, I'm not a stupid and reckless person, and I'm just looking for more information about the other party right now."

The short girl breathed a sigh of relief silently, but still couldn't hide her worry.

At this time, the old servant next to him suddenly said:

"It's so lively here today, I don't know what happened."

The two brothers and sisters looked at the restaurant in front of them, and there were indeed a lot of people.

This time I went over and heard a group of Jiang Hu people from all over the world gather together in the lobby, discussing enthusiastically and looking excited.

The three of them were confused for a while, and only heard words such as "Luming Banquet", "Yaozu" and "Ji Ping'an".

The first two are still known, but the latter is a complete stranger.

"Brother, dare I ask what are you talking about?" The young man found a kind person and asked.

The latter glanced at the three of them and said:

"You don't know yet, did you see that sword energy last night? Well, you probably couldn't see it outside by coincidence, but it doesn't matter. Let me tell you, the real body of Mr. He has been exposed..."

The short girl pricked up her ears in surprise. She still can't forget the scene she saw when Mo Lin performed martial arts and the music of Baidi played.

And after listening to the gossip about last night's Lu Ming Banquet from the audience, the three of them couldn't hide their shock.

It's like listening to heaven, after all... Don't talk about the top powerhouses like the head teacher of the Taoist sect and the master of the beast control sect.

It is the level of elders of various sects, and the realm of sitting in a well is already an existence that is unattainable for them, a real big shot.

As for that Ji Ping'an, he must be a genius... The two siblings thought enviously.

At this time, suddenly there were officials outside the inn beating gongs and drums and posting the imperial list.

Immediately, it attracted a group of warriors to flock to watch.

In the blink of an eye, the nearby bulletin boards were completely blocked.

The three of them barely squeezed through, raised their heads to read carefully, and an illiterate martial artist next to him scratched his ears and said anxiously:

"What's written on it?"

The short girl glanced at him and explained:
"It's the announcement that the Divine Capital Awards will be held."

……

Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Compared with the bustling streets and alleys, this kind of fireworks venue is always extraordinarily quiet in the early morning.

All the girls had fallen asleep, and the whole building was exceptionally quiet.

In a certain room on the second floor, beside the brown round table, Miss Xiangning, the oiran, got up early, her black hair like a waterfall was scattered freely.

She was only wearing a light gauze dress, and her white and greasy figure with protruding and protruding parts was faintly visible.

The round buttocks are placed on a small stool, and the two feet are stepping on the knitted carpet.

There is a dark green hairpin on the table.

She was pressing a piece of paper with her slippery left hand, holding a writing brush in her right hand, and was writing a letter.

"To the lord and mother of the country:
"Lu Mingyan's assassination of Zhao Yuanyang failed. Next, the subordinates will summarize the information as follows.

"However, there is one strange thing that needs to be emphasized. At the same time and place, Chen Jiping, the chief inspector of Qin Tianjian, was also assassinated by unknown forces, and blamed on our clan..."
