The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 136: Niulan Street Case
For the Grand Master, when the strength is similar, intelligence becomes an important factor in determining victory or defeat.

Fang Hao knows Wu Zhu's trump card, which is the rainbow laser beam hidden under his eye mask. But Wu Zhu doesn't know what cards Fang Hao has.

Therefore, if it is a life-and-death battle, Fang Hao will be able to defeat Wu Zhu after paying a certain price.

However, there is absolutely no need for this.

Fang Hao knew very well that his greatest enemy in life was not Wu Zhu, but his adoptive father.

Before that, he must maintain his best condition!
However, the brief and fierce battle with Wu Zhu just now also made Fang Hao discover a very important problem.

That is, the martial arts that transcend the mundane, or the offensive triggered by harnessing the power of heaven and earth, are probably of little use to these grandmasters.

Just like those Western magic spells, wizards use spells to leverage the power of heaven and earth, but they don’t know that every grand master is the most terrifying source of radiation in the world.

Some spells might be dispersed by the aura of the grandmaster before they even reach him.

The extraordinary martial arts such as "Thunder Finger", "Fuyao Palm" and "Whirlpool Flow" that Fang Hao created in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes would probably be greatly reduced in the world of Joy of Life.

"No wonder, the strong men in this world never drag their feet when they take action, and they never use any fancy techniques. As long as their martial arts can kill someone, that's enough."

Under the night sky, Fang Hao's cold eyes flashed, and he had made a decision in his heart.

……

Compared to Fang Hao's life of wealth and leisure, Fan Xian's life is much busier.

He went to the Qing Temple and met the "chicken leg girl" whom he fell in love with at first sight. Later, through visiting a sick patient, he discovered that his "chicken leg girl" was none other than the illegitimate daughter of Prime Minister Lin and the eldest princess, Princess Chen Lin Wan'er.

This discovery made him no longer oppose this marriage. Instead, he sneaked into Lin Wan'er's boudoir every day to cultivate his feelings, and his life was quite happy.

Until - the assassination happened on Niulan Street!
On the surface, this assassination was carried out by Cheng Jushu, a master of Northern Qi, and a pair of beautiful swordsmen from Dongyi City, who received intelligence from Si Lili, a spy from Northern Qi hiding in Zuixianju.

He attempted to kill Fan Xian, the future head of Qing's internal treasury, in order to cause unrest within Qing.

Looking deeper, it was Lin Gong, the second son of the current Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, who, together with the counselor Wu Bo'an in the palace, planned to kill Fan Xian, the possible head of the inner treasury.

As for the deepest truth, it was a vicious plan set by the eldest princess. Wu Boan was the eldest princess's man. Her purpose in doing this was not only to kill Fan Xian, but also to bring disaster to Fang Hao.

After all, the person who leaked Fan Xian's whereabouts and attracted the Northern Qi master Cheng Jushu and the pair of beautiful assassins from Dongyi City was Si Lili, the top performer of Zuixianju.

Zuixianju and even the Honglou Chuguan on the banks of Jingliu River are all Fang Hao’s properties!
Fan Xian used his identity token as the Chief Inspector of the Supervisory Council to quickly see through the "truth" on the surface and set his sights on Si Lili, the key figure in the case.

What's strange is that Si Lili disappeared. This top star of Zuixianju disappeared without a trace after passing on information to the Northern Qi killer.

Even with the power of the Supervisory Council, they are unable to track down Si Lili's whereabouts. There are not many people in the entire Kyoto who can do this.

The second prince is one of them!

Frankly speaking, Fan Xian had a very good first impression of Fang Hao, the Second Prince.

Could it be that this second prince, who seemed unruly and uninterested in government affairs, had been pretending all along?
When Fan Xian climbed through the window to see Lin Wan'er that night, he couldn't help but ask this question.

He believed that Lin Wan'er, who grew up in the deep palace, must know the mysterious Second Prince better than he did.

"Wan'er, what do you think of the Second Prince?" On the exquisite and elegant bed, Fan Xian hugged Lin Wan'er across the quilt.

"Second brother? He is a very capable person." Lin Wan'er continued, "He also has a very good personality. He is kind and friendly even to ordinary palace servants."

"Is that so?" Fan Xian said thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wan'er asked, "Did you have a conflict with your second brother?"

"That's not the case. I just don't understand how your Majesty, with his temperament, could have raised such a 'Four Wonders Crazy Guest'." Fan Xian said with a smile.

After revealing his identity as the Director of the Supervisory Council, some of the secrets of the Supervisory Council were revealed to Fan Xian.

With the help of Mu Tie and old acquaintance Wang Qinian, Fan Xian browsed a lot of information about the second prince.

Only then did I realize that the Second Prince was indeed a very straightforward person. He had called people "idiots" in public more than once.

When he was ordered to carry out his mission and supervise the construction of the Danzhou Dam, he killed many people without caring about his reputation.

But he was really talented. From design to construction, the Danzhou Reservoir was supervised by this prince alone, and there were no mistakes throughout the process.

If he had not scolded more than 20 high-ranking officials in the court, from the Minister of Works to the Director, after returning to the capital, his reputation would not have been so bad.

"Second brother is different from those ordinary people." Lin Wan'er looked at Fan Xian seriously and said, "I suggest that if you really have something to ask, you should go and ask him directly."

Seeing Wan'er's serious expression, Fan Xian nodded and said, "I'll listen to Wan'er."

He believed that Lin Wan'er's ability to judge people and the political wisdom she had honed in the palace would not harm him.

So, the next day, Fan Xian took the initiative to go to the Second Prince's Mansion.

"Wow, this place is really quite spacious." Fan Xian said to Wang Qinian beside him, "Why does this Second Prince's Mansion give me a sense of déjà vu?"

"Sir, it's the same at the entrance of our Supervisory Council," Wang Qinian reminded carefully.

"That's true." Fan Xian smiled and said, "Could it be that this Second Prince is even more arrogant than the people in our Overwatch Council?"

"The Chief Secretary has also read the files. The Second Prince is quite straightforward, which is why the court officials avoid him like the plague." Wang Qinian said.

Fan Xian smiled slightly and said, "That's interesting. Let's go in."

Fan Xian asked the doorman to open the door, explained his purpose, and was then led into the mansion by a servant.

In a garden in the backyard, Fan Xian finally met the second prince again.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Fan Xian said seriously.

"No need to be polite." Fang Hao waved his hand casually and said, "I know why you are here, but what I want to say is that Si Lili is not my person."

"Yes." Fan Xian said without comment.

"You don't believe it? Well, we're not familiar with each other after all."

Fang Hao chuckled and said, "Come to think of it, everyone in Kyoto knows that I am the one who protects the Red Mansion and Chu House by the Jingliu River. These filthy fellows dare to tease me. They must be tired of living!"

Seeing Fang Hao talking and laughing with disdain, Fan Xian could only smile apologetically. The personality of this Second Prince was really... quite direct.
