Chapter 703 This is Kyoto

Kyoto Imperial Palace.

Emperor Qing sat upright on the dragon throne, flipping through the memorials presented to him. As the world's number one military power, Qing was called the Southern Barbarians by the Northern Qi. A large part of its focus was placed on military affairs. In addition to the mandatory military service when reaching a certain age, there were also many corresponding reward measures.

It is even somewhat similar to the Qin Dynasty's military merit system, but it is much more perfect and not so extreme.

But even so, it can greatly inspire the soldiers' fighting spirit.

The memorial he was reading at the moment was about the recent troop movements on the border.

However, things did not go very smoothly. The military leaders attached too much importance to military power, and it was very difficult to execute the orders from above.

However, there was no anger on Emperor Qing's face, he even had a smile on his face.

Things that are obvious are always the easiest to solve.

At this moment, a figure rushed into the palace. No matter whether it was the guards or the eunuchs, they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

The only one who can enjoy this treatment in Qing Kingdom is Princess Li Yunrui.

"Brother, why are you calling me in such a hurry?"

"Uncle Jiu is with you?"

Emperor Qing closed the letter and spoke softly while looking at his sister in front of him.

As an emperor, he was qualified, but not ruthless enough.

If he really only had power in his eyes, he should have cleaned up all traces when that woman died, such as Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, and even his own illegitimate son.

“This happened half a month ago.”

Li Yunrui came to the table and stood still, glancing around, then quickly retracted his gaze: "Brother Emperor wants him?"

"After all, he is our elder, and the clan government can still afford to support an old man."

Emperor Qing closed his eyes slightly, "You know his role, why don't you give it to me?"

"If you don't give it, you won't give it!"

Li Yunrui snorted coquettishly: "Does the emperor want to punish me?"

Emperor Qing opened his eyes helplessly, "Forget it, since Yun Rui you don't want to, then let Uncle Jiu live with you in your old age."

The chess game of the world is too big, and a mere old man who is about to die is not worthy of his attention. The reason he could ask was because of Li Yunrui's reaction.

But it’s better this way, I can see what this sister really wants to do.

"Humph!"

Li Yunrui should have been happy that his goal had been achieved, but when he saw Emperor Qing's calm face, he felt uncomfortable.

She was like this before and she is like this now. I guess nothing will change when she dies.

"Thank you very much, my Royal Brother!"

Emperor Qing did not speak until the footsteps gradually faded away. Then he opened his eyes and took out a piece of paper from a separate booklet.

It records everything Fan Xian did after arriving in Kyoto, even the time when he went to the toilet is recorded.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Shou Xin, you can't stay in the princess's mansion all the time, it will make you weak, go out more often."

The old Taoist priest spoke helplessly, but his hands did not stop moving. He quickly put pieces of delicious delicacies into his mouth.

"Hmm? Master, didn't I ask you to stay out of trouble?"

Amber raised her head and wiped the oil off her mouth. "Life is so peaceful and simple now. I don't have to worry about food and drink every day. I feel so comfortable."

"Ugh."

The old Taoist bit off a piece of beef fiercely and said, "That's true, but I just don't feel at ease."

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, so it won't fall on our heads."

Amber didn't care.

Every day at mealtime, the old Taoist priest would come on time. In his words, he estimated that he would have to leave in the future, so he would eat as much as he could now.

After eating, they will leave immediately without staying for a moment.

But Amber could see that the old man was worried about him, so he found reasons to come and see him every day.

There's nothing wrong with that. Boom!
The old Taoist priest who had just walked out of the princess's mansion looked up at the sky. He didn't know when the originally clear weather had become covered with dark clouds. The thick clouds seemed to be right above his head, giving people a feeling of oppression that would collapse at any time.

Gotta go faster
As he thought about it, his steps became hurried. Because of this, the old Taoist priest, who should have been alert, did not notice that several pairs of eyes were staring at him.

After walking a few hundred steps out of the princess's mansion, raindrops began to pour down.

As a last resort, he had to walk in places with eaves.

Just as I turned a corner, two men came towards me.

The road was so wide, and in order to avoid being wetted by the rain, the old Taoist priest chose to stand there and wait for the other party to pass.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
At the moment of crossing each other, a sharp dagger stabbed into his chest three times in a row. Not only was the speed extremely fast, but there was no sign at all when the attack took place.

Master!

The old Taoist priest fell in a pool of blood, and the two men gradually disappeared in the rain.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and by the time other pedestrians reacted, it was already over.

A quarter of an hour later.

In the inner house of the princess's mansion, Li Yunrui was drawing her eyebrows.

As she grew older, she cared more and more about her appearance. She would be angry for a long time because of a wrinkle, and would also get furious because of a white hair.

In order to prevent herself from looking old, Li Yunrui will try every possible means to retain her beauty.

But time is fair and will not change because of anyone's will.

"Your Highness Princess!!"

The sudden shout from outside the door made Li Yunrui's hands tremble, and his originally perfect eyebrows now had an ugly mark.

She laughed.

"explain."

"That person...that person was assassinated!"

That one?

Li Yunrui didn't react for a moment, but he soon understood who the servant outside the door was talking about.

"What?! How are the people?"

With a bang, she slammed the table and hurried to the door.

"He's almost dying. Three consecutive cuts hit his vital points."

The guard swallowed and his body tensed up.

Although he didn't know why the eldest princess would care about an old Taoist priest, it did not affect his understanding of the importance of this matter.

Li Yunrui took a deep breath, not caring about his eyebrows, and strode out of his residence, walking towards the other end of the mansion.

A palace maid nearby wanted to hold an umbrella, but was slapped to the ground.

After a while, she arrived in front of the courtyard used to receive distinguished guests. Her legs, which were about to take a step, froze in mid-air again.

How should I tell that guy?

Li Yunrui didn't have time to hesitate for too long before a lazy voice sounded.

"Your Highness Princess has come here in the rain, but what important matter has occurred?"

Amber opened the door and walked out.

He had just eaten too much and was planning to take a nap, which was really too enjoyable, especially in this weather.

"Uncle Jiu, he, he was assassinated."

"Oh?"

Amber frowned, the smile fading from her face.

"Don't make jokes like that. Many people will die."

The sound of dripping rain is so annoying to the listener
He looked up at the sky, then waved his hand. The dark clouds hovering in the sky suddenly dissipated and the sun shone again.
