This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 343 Cold Sweat
"You're still pretending!!"

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi's blank eyes, the resentment in Chaoyue's eyes became more and more intense. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, okay, just wait!"

With that said, he turned around and left the place with the big man in the bamboo hat.

Saw Chaoyue's inexplicable speech.

Lu Yuanzhi scratched his head for no apparent reason, but now that he was gone, Lu Yuanzhi put the knife into the scripture space.

"Who was that person just now?"

At this time, Changle came over curiously, looked at Lu Yuanzhi and asked.

"Just a clown."

Lu Yuanzhi answered casually, then smiled and said to Changle:

"Let's not talk about him anymore. I will take you to the lantern festival today. The lanterns over there are beautiful. Let's go there."

"Okay!"

"........."

Lu Yuanzhi didn't go home until late at night.

After returning to the house, I had dinner and then fell asleep.

at the same time.

"Your Highness, we are in Dayong's capital now, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at us. We must not act rashly."

The big man in the bamboo hat had taken off his pocket, revealing a head full of emerald green hair.

Chaoyue's eyes were extremely gloomy, and he looked at the big man in front of him:

"Tobel, don't try to stop me, he and I are irreconcilable!!"

"Ugh."

Seeing the resentful look on His Highness Chaoyue's face, Tobel sighed helplessly.

He naturally knew that Chaoyue was beheaded as an eunuch by Lu Yuanzhi, and he was extremely angry with her.

But he had no choice but to persuade him earnestly:

"Your Highness can't let a moment of anger ruin a major event."

"Three days from now it will be time for me to go to the palace to see you. If something unexpected happens today, I'm afraid our plans for many years will be in vain."

Chaoyue's teeth were rattling, and his eyes were even a little red:

"Then what should we do? Will we not pursue this matter??!"

Chaoyue asked, staring at Tobel with a sinister look on her face.

Look at Chaoyue's red eyes.

Tobel's eyes were calm, and his voice was a little low:
"I wonder if His Highness noticed the girl next to Lu Yuanzhi during today's lantern festival?"

"Girl? What kind of girl do I have the heart to look at now? !!"

Chaoyue actually had an impression, but it was obviously his pain. He didn't even know what the use of looking at the girl now was.

Tobel didn't panic, he looked at Chaoyue calmly:

"Your Highness, if I am not mistaken, that girl should be the rumored Princess Changle of the Great Yong Dynasty."

When Chaoyue heard this, his restless heart moved slightly. He squinted at Tobel and said:
"what do you mean……"

There was also a sinister look on Tou Bei'er's face:
"I think Lu Yuanzhi has a lot of affection for him... He will go to the palace in three days. When His Highness presents the tribute, Emperor Jianhong of Dayong will definitely be delighted."

"At that time, His Highness can take the opportunity to ask Jianhong for a marriage. He said that he fell in love with Princess Changle at first sight and wanted to take her back to the country as his concubine. He also promised that if His Highness ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely make Princess Changle his queen. This marriage can protect Dayong. A hundred years of peace with the demon clan..."

Speaking of this, Tuo Beier's face was filled with a sneer:
"With Jianhong's nature of being very happy with great achievements, how could he possibly disagree?"

When Chaoyue heard this, the expression on her face froze slightly.

Then there was wild laughter:

"At that time, Lu Yuanzhi will definitely not want to. Whether he is quarreling with Emperor Yong or coming to find us, he will definitely not get any good results..."

"Yes, if he really admits to this matter and becomes a coward, then this matter will definitely become his inner demon in martial arts, and he will be unable to make any progress in this life!"

Tobel's green face was filled with a sinister smile.

"Okay, okay!!"

Chaoyue smiled happily:

"Tobel, if this comes to pass, when you return to Monster Mountain, I will definitely ask your father for the first prize!!"

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness."

Tobel smiled and bowed to Chaoyue.

…………

Time passes slowly.

The three days of vacation flew by.

In addition to practicing martial arts at home these days, Lu Yuanzhi also went out to date Chang Le. With the palace maid keeping an eye on him, he naturally avoided a lot of trouble.

The relationship between the two also heated up rapidly in these three days.

Early in the morning, Lu Yuanzhi rode his little green horse towards the Yamen.

In these days, the news about Wu Qishan in Jianzhou was slowly spread to the capital.

The news that Lu Yuanzhi won the championship was gradually talked about by the people in Beijing.

In particular, the story of Lu Yuanzhi killing the demon Chao Yue with his sword on the stage was extremely exaggerated and spread to thousands of households.

Lu Yuanzhi's reputation has completely exploded.

If you go to any tavern or teahouse now, all the storytellers will tell you about Lu Yuanzhi's Dao Sect Competition.

Moreover, Lu Yuanzhi's nickname also changed from Xiaolu Fengpei to Lu Yunpei.

This is a qualitative leap.

It also represents everyone's recognition of Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi would also get pointed at by people when he walked on the street. Of course, these suggestions were all well-intentioned. Now almost everyone in Beijing knew Lu Yuanzhi.

His portrait was painted and sold into the boudoirs of many girls.

The women in the capital were even more proud to see Lu Yunpei.

Especially after the news came out that Lu Yuanzhi defeated Song Yu, a disciple of Kewusi.

Lu Yuanzhi seemed to be pushed to the forefront.

Even the little gods of the Kewu Department were no match for Lu Yuanzhi.

Many good people even exaggerated Lu Yuanzhi into a "God of War"

Dayong’s new god of war.

Lu Yuanzhi could only smile bitterly after hearing this.

Having too much fame is really not a good thing for you.

After all, as a court official, if your reputation is too great, you will really live under the eyes of countless people. If you want to make any small moves, you have to be more careful.

In the midst of the greetings from Lu Yunpei Hao.

Lu Yuanzhi finally arrived at the Yamen.

After tapping, Lu Yuanzhi returned to his sexual chamber.

But before he could sit there for long, there was a knock on the door.

After opening the door, I found it was Gongyang Dare.

"Gongyang Yunpei, why did you come to see me?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Gong Yanggan with a smile.

"Ji Gong has ordered that you go to court with him today."

The ram dares to look serious.

"Ok?"

Lu Yuanzhi was slightly startled after hearing this:
"What are you calling me for?"

"do not know."

The ram dared to remain expressionless. "Fine."

Lu Yuanzhi twitched his lips, Gongyang Dare was Ji Gong's most loyal dog, and he would never tell anyone about Ji Gong's affairs, whether he knew it or not.

Lu Yuanzhi is no exception.

"Let's go now, Mr. Ji will be coming down soon."

"Row."

Lu Yuanzhi didn't hesitate and followed Gong Yangda downstairs.

After leaving Yinwu Hall, Lu Yuan saw at a glance the carriage that Ji Gong often used to go to court.

The two of them didn't wait long before they saw Ji Xuan walking slowly.

"I've met Ji Gong."

The two of them saluted respectfully at the same time.

"Ah."

Ji Xuan had a gentle smile on his face.

He looked at Lu Yuanzhi and said to Lu Yuanzhi:
"Coming up to the carriage, there is something I need to tell you."

"Yes!"

Lu Yuanzhi did not hesitate and followed Ji Xuan into the carriage.

After the two of them were seated, Gongyang dared to raise his whip, and the carriage began to move slowly.

Not long after, the carriage left Pei Yinlang's Yamen and drove slowly towards the street.

"I don't know, why did Ji Gong call me?"

Lu Yuanzhi sat next to Ji Xuan and looked at Ji Xuan with confusion.

The carriage was not small, and the place where Lu Yuanzhi was sitting was still two feet away from Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan gently touched the jade plate finger on his hand, and looked at Lu Yuanzhi lightly:

"Today is the day when the demon clan goes to the palace to meet with Chao Yue."

Lu Yuanzhi frowned slightly:
"What does this have to do with my subordinates?"

Isn't this kind of foreign envoy a matter of the Ministry of Rites? What does it have to do with a mere fourth-grade Yunpei of Pei Yinlang?
"Have."

Ji Xuan's face was still serious. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi and said:

"This time the demon tribe comes to my Dayong. In addition to paying tribute, they should also secretly test the mighty prince."

"Mighty Marquis?"

Hearing this, even though Lu Yuanzhi was a political idiot, he was more or less fascinated, and his expression became serious:

"What Mr. Ji means is that they want to test the situation of Wei Wuhou?"

"Correct."

Ji Xuan looked at Lu Yuanzhi with determination:

"As for other things, what the demon clan is most concerned about now must be the situation of the powerful Wuhou of Great Yong. Back then, the mighty Wuhou Wu Zhaoyun had a large formation set up at the border fortress. When those aliens were blocked outside for more than 20 years, they could not enter. Come, that’s why they carefully planned an assassination of the mighty prince..."

Lu Yuanzhi was from Beijing who had followed the Xianglian case all the way, so he naturally knew the matter best.

"From the Xianglian case to the painter case to the final assassination case, you have been involved..."

Ji Xuan glanced at Lu Yuanzhi lightly.

Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhi's heart tightened slightly, and he quickly clasped his fists and said:

"My subordinates definitely do their duty every time they investigate a case."

"I know."

Ji Xuan's face became gentle and he chuckled:

"You don't have to be so serious."

"As for the assassination at Qinghe Academy that day, you and Shangguan were the first witnesses. The murderer has not been found yet..."

Having said this, Ji Xuan glanced at Lu Yuanzhi with a half-smile.

Seeing Ji Xuan's look, Lu Yuanzhi also knew that there was no way to hide it. The murderer who assassinated Wei Wuhou was imprisoned in the scripture space by himself, and he also obtained the contract book of the national master and the loyalty of the two demons.

"bump."

Lu Yuanzhi knelt down and looked at Ji Xuandao:
"This subordinate is guilty and please be punished by the Disciplinary Committee."

"I thought you were going to bury it in your heart forever and not tell me."

When Ji Xuan saw Lu Yuanzhi kneeling on the ground so neatly, he chuckled and helped Lu Yuanzhi up:
"I've known about this for a long time. I already had suspicions when you sent the mighty prince to the palace that day."

Ji Xuan looked at Lu Yuanzhi with a smile.

Lu Yuanzhi's face turned red and swollen.

"When you brought the mighty lord here, he was already seriously injured. But the demon assassin carefully planned such a sophisticated assassination. How could it be possible that the mighty lord was left alive?"

"Later, after I asked Shangguan privately, I found out that she fought with the demon assassin, and you were standing opposite her. After the assassin lost to Shangguan, he kidnapped you and asked her to kill him."

Speaking of this, Ji Xuan's voice contained an imperceptible smile:

"But an opponent that even Shangguan couldn't defeat for a long time, why did he disappear inexplicably after taking you hostage? Could it be that he escaped? But if he was really so capable, wouldn't he just escape directly after assassinating the mighty lord? Why do he still have to fight with you? Shangguan left after a fight? "

"For this reason, I made a special trip to the crime scene and followed the clues at the scene to deduce it. Finally, I found that after the assassin kidnapped you, his traces suddenly disappeared, and there were no traces within a hundred miles... …This is obviously very unusual.”

"Finally, I came to the conclusion that there is only one possibility, and that is that the assassin... was hidden by you."

Ji Xuan's words made Lu Yuanzhi break into a cold sweat.

He looked at Ji Xuan, who was smiling slowly, and swallowed hard.

"But how did you hide it?"

Ji Xuan knew without looking at Lu Yuanzhi's face that Lu Yuanzhi should be trembling with fear at this time. He chuckled and played with the jade finger in his hand and continued:
"I didn't know it at the beginning, but then you destroyed the Buddhist formation... I discovered a detail, that is, you seemed not to be affected by your mind in that Buddhist formation..."

"Gudong..."

Lu Yuanzhi swallowed again.

"Then there is only one explanation. The book that was lost long ago in the temple in Beijing seems to be on you."

Ji Xuan squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Yuanzhi, who was already covered in cold sweat, and said with a smile:
"It wasn't until later in Hangzhou that you saw that my life was in danger and risked exposure to death to summon the two demons to save me. That's when I completely let go of all my wariness against you."

Only then did Lu Yuanzhi remember that when he came back from Hangzhou that day, Ji Xuan's attitude towards him had improved a lot. Even when Gong Yang was around, he looked envious but didn't dare to say anything...

After all the details were correct, Lu Yuanzhi didn't panic anymore.

"You know what? Originally I wanted to continue checking you, but then I stopped checking."

Ji Xuan's voice had an inexplicable meaning.

"why?"

Lu Yuanzhi raised his head and looked at Ji Xuan.

"Because, the Imperial Master has come to see me."

Ji Xuan chuckled and continued:

"The moment I saw the Imperial Master appear in front of me for you, I knew why the scripture was on you, why he forged a sword for you with his own hands, and why you were able to kill King Yu in Hangzhou. …”

Lu Yuanzhi took a deep breath:

"Ji Gong's wisdom is second to none in the world, and his subordinates are completely convinced."

"Haha, after talking to you so much, I forgot about the important things today."

Ji Xuan looked at Lu Yuanzhi's completely convinced expression, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger. He changed the topic and didn't want to put Lu Yuanzhi under so much pressure.

"what's up?"

Lu Yuanzhi's expression became extremely serious.

"When Chao Yue goes to the palace today, he will definitely stir up trouble. It is difficult for the ministers in the court to come forward, and the prince in the court is not useful, so..."

"It would be best for me to step in?"

The corner of Lu Yuanzhi's mouth twitched slightly.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi's speechless look, Ji Xuan laughed and said:
"As Dayong's youngest noble, he is not much worse than Chaoyue in stature, and he also cut the general into pieces in the Dao Sect Competition. Apart from you, I can't think of a better candidate."

Lu Yuanzhi:......
