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

Chapter 143: Wind Rising in Kyoto
Yan Xiaoyi, the commander of the imperial guards, died miserably at the hands of Fang Hao.

Although Yan Xiaoyi possessed terrifying archery skills that were enough to threaten a grandmaster, he was not a grandmaster after all, so it was not unfair for him to die at the hands of Fang Hao.

While Fang Hao and Yan Xiaoyi were fighting fiercely, Fan Xian had already taken advantage of the chaos to slip away.

Although he was very curious about who Fang Hao was, he valued his life more.

Fang Hao admired Fan Xian's decisiveness. It had to be said that as the destined protagonist of the world of Joy of Life, Fan Xian, in addition to having "six fathers" to protect him, was also a top choice in terms of martial arts and abilities.

In the timeline of the original novel, the final defeat of Emperor Qing seemed accidental, but in fact it was inevitable.

Because he had controlled the economic lifeline of the entire Qing Kingdom through the China Merchants Bank, which he established after he took charge of the inner treasury.

He is not an emperor, but he is better than an emperor. Emperor Qing has no way to deal with him.

Therefore, although Fan Xian’s martial arts may not be at the top level, his ability to read people’s expressions and assess the situation are both top-notch.

In comparison, the sons of Emperor Qing in the original novel had a miserable life. They were manipulated like puppets by Emperor Qing, the Queen, and the eldest princess. Especially the second prince, who was not free until his death.

What Fang Hao wants to change is this "bird in a cage" life.

……

The death of Yan Xiaoyi indeed caused great turmoil in the court and the country!

It is a great irony that the commander of the guards responsible for protecting the emperor's safety died in Kyoto.

As for the assassin's identity, there is no need to doubt it, it is Si Gu Jian!

This great sword master who sits in the Sword House in Dongyi City is actually an extremely protective person. It is understandable that Yun Zhilan was seriously injured and he sneaked into Kyoto to wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

The injuries on Yan Xiaoyi and his men left by Si Gu Jian are irrefutable evidence!

This caused the negotiations, which had been tending to ease, to fall into a deadlock again.

The Nanqing side put forward more demands on Dongyi City. The envoys of Dongyi City also had their own grievances. How could they dare to interfere in the affairs of the Grand Master?
The scars on the bodies of Yan Xiaoyi and others were clearly left by the extremely pure sword intent of Si Gu Jian. Considering that Yan Xiaoyi was already a master of the upper ninth level, the murderer could only be Si Gu Jian.

When Fan Xian learned the news that Yan Xiaoyi had been killed, he was even more glad that he did not give in to his curiosity and stayed to watch the fight that night. Otherwise, in Wu Zhu's absence, he would have been in real danger.

"Uncle Wu Zhu, is Si Gu Jian easy to learn?" Fan Xian couldn't help but ask Wu Zhu in confusion.

Although it was night yesterday and the murderer was wearing all black, his figure and hair color showed that he was a young man, and there was no way he could be the old man Si Gu Jian.

So the question is, Wu Zhu knows Si Gu Jian, and the mysterious man who killed Yan Xiaoyi also knows Si Gu Jian. Does this mean that Si Gu Jian has become a common skill?

"Difficult!" Wu Zhu said, "There should be no more than five people in the world who can master the essence of Si Gu Jian."

"That is the secret weapon cultivated by Si Gu Jian." Fan Xian said.

"Impossible, it's easy to get the ninth rank, but it's hard to become a grandmaster." Wu Zhu said coldly: "Listening to your description, I suspect that this person is the mysterious man who fought with me in Danzhou a few years ago."

"A few days ago, I met that man again at Taiping Villa. He should be in Kyoto now."

Fan Xian immediately recalled the mysterious figure who had fought with Wu Zhu on the beach of Danzhou that year, the fifth master who jumped out from a crack in the rock!
"It's getting more and more interesting." Fan Xian touched his chin. Then, Fan Xian turned his eyes to the black box left to him by his mother. He would think about the mysterious man later. The exciting moment of opening the treasure chest had arrived!
After opening the treasure chest left by his mother, Fan Xian got to know his mother better from the letter Ye Qingmei left for Wu Zhu.

From the second layer of the box, parts of a Barrett sniper rifle divided into several sections were found.

As a modern man, Fan Xian knew the power of M82A1.

With this powerful weapon, Fan Xian's combat capability can be raised to the level of a grandmaster!
"Uncle Wu Zhu, where are the bullets? Where did they go?" Fan Xian quickly discovered a problem. There were no Barrett bullets in the box.

"Bullets?" Wu Zhu seemed to have thought of something after listening to Fan Xian's description, and said in a deep voice, "I roughly know where those bullets are."

Soon, Wu Zhu took Fan Xian into Taiping Villa and found a bullet left by Fang Hao in a secret room.

"That's it, but why is there only one? Isn't my mother too stingy?" Fan Xian asked.

"There should be more than one. Someone came to this place not long ago." Wu Zhu said.

Fan Xian was very smart. After connecting the dots, he immediately realized what was going on and said, "You mean, the one who took the bullet was the mysterious master who killed Yan Xiaoyi yesterday!"

"Yeah." Wu Zhu nodded.

"How is this possible? In this world, apart from my mother and me, no one should know the use of bullets." For some reason, Fan Xian became a little frightened.

The reason why he can remain calm in this world is that the accumulation of five thousand years of civilization in his previous life is his foundation.

If there is a third time traveler in this world, and he knew that he plagiarized "Dream of Red Mansions" and memorized so many Tang and Song poems, how... embarrassing it would be!

"Besides your mother, there is another place that knows the purpose of these things," Wu Zhu said.

"You mean, the temple?" Fan Xian came back to his senses and asked.

"This weapon was brought out by your mother from the temple." Wu Zhu continued, "I originally wanted to go to the temple to take a look after some time, but now it seems that I need to go earlier."

Wuzhu must return to the temple for his lost memories.

"Yes, there is also a temple!" Fan Xian cheered himself up. It might not be a time traveler. How could there be so many time travelers in this world?
If the mysterious man is a messenger sent by the temple, then everything makes sense.

"Uncle Wuzhu, you can't leave now." Thinking that there was a temple messenger hiding in Kyoto, Fan Xian felt very uneasy.

"Don't worry, Si Gu Jian will definitely come to Kyoto, so I won't leave in the short term." Wu Zhu said.

Si Gu Jian's first disciple Yun Zhilan was seriously injured, and he himself was blamed for the murder of Yan Xiaoyi. Given the temper of this great master, he had to come to Kyoto.

"If Si Gu Jian comes, Ye Liuyun might come as well." Fan Xian said, "Then, maybe we can see a duel between grandmasters."

The Grand Master is a god among men. If Si Gu Jian comes, there must be a master of the same level in Kyoto to compete with him.

This kind of thing, relying solely on the palace eunuch Hong is not safe. Therefore, Ye Liuyun is very likely to be transferred back to Kyoto by Emperor Qing.

Therefore, there will be something interesting to watch in Kyoto next.
