Chapter 52: Night Like a Palace, Wei Zhuang's First Battle with Wu Zhu

Li Chengping's sudden arrival made the atmosphere in the room seem a little subtle.

Liu Ruyu also noticed this, and after chatting for a few words, she found a reason to leave.

On the way back, Fan Sizhe couldn't help but ask, "Fan Xian, did you have a conflict with the Third Prince?"

"No, why did you think of asking this?" Fan Xian asked in surprise.

Fan Sizhe curled his lips: "Your expression is written all over your face, anyone can see it."

Liu Ruyu and Fan Ruoruo beside them nodded.

"Fan Xian, if you really have any conflicts with the Third Prince, please speak up. I, your aunt, will help you mediate."

Liu Ruyu said.

Fan Xian nodded without saying anything, his brows furrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

now.

Inside the palace.

Concubine Yi was holding Li Chengping's hand and asking him questions. The mother and son had been reunited after a long separation and seemed to have endless things to talk about.

"Ping'er, I heard from the people in the palace that you have taken a fancy to a courtesan in Zuixianju. How does she look like? Bring her to me when you have time."

Concubine Yi smiled.

"Okay, mother. Next time I come to the palace, I will bring her to see you."

Li Chengping smiled helplessly.

"By the way, His Majesty has already made an engagement with you. Before you and Wan'er are married, try not to have children to avoid trouble in the future."

Concubine Yi warned.

Generally speaking, the title is inherited by the legitimate son. If an eldest son appears, there will be a lot of trouble.

Li Chengping understood the meaning and smiled slightly.

"Mother, I know all this, so you don't have to worry. I wonder what Aunt Liu is doing in the palace this time?" Li Chengping asked doubtfully.

"Nothing, just came to chat with me and bring a few kids to meet me."

"You haven't come back to see me for a long time, so why don't you allow others to come and talk to me?"

Yi Guipin said.

"Hehe, how can that be possible? As long as you are happy, that's all."

Li Chengping smiled awkwardly, but he always felt something was wrong.

Liu Ruyu and Concubine Yi had a good relationship, but the time of visiting the palace was very regular, usually around festivals.

It has been like this since he can remember, and it has never changed in decades. Why did it suddenly happen today?
Li Chengping didn't understand what was going on either.

While Concubine Yi was busy, he found a young eunuch who was guarding the gate.

"Tell me in detail what happened today!"

"Your Highness, there is nothing special happening today. It's just that Madam Fan brought a few children to visit the Empress in the palace."

"Master Fan Sizhe was with us when we came. We waited for about half an hour before Master Fan Xian and Miss Fan Ruoruo arrived."

"Besides them, only you, Your Highness, are here."

The young eunuch explained the matter carefully.

Li Chengping raised his eyebrows and directly grasped the crux of the problem.

That is, there was half an hour between Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo. What did the two of them do during this period of time?

……

Li Chengping chatted with Concubine Yi in the palace for a long time, until the palace gate was about to close, he got up and left.

"Mom, I'll come see you again after a while."

After saying hello, Li Chengping rushed back to the palace in a carriage.

While eating, Li Chengping discovered that there was one person missing from the table.

"Zhao Gao, where is Wei Zhuang?"

"Your Highness, Mr. Wei said he wanted to go out and relax."

Li Chengping was speechless.

Disappearing at the first sign of disagreement is in line with Wei Zhuang's character.

Although he seems casual on weekdays, Wei Zhuang is very reliable when it comes to serious matters.

Night falls.

Li Chengping was lying on the bed, holding a book in his hands and reading it carefully, while Si Lili was massaging his feet. The atmosphere in the room was harmonious.

now.

Under the dark night.

Wei Zhuang took off his black and gold robe, changed into night clothes, and his figure flashed back and forth on the buildings in Kyoto City, rushing quickly towards the palace.

As a grandmaster, the imperial city alone could not stop him and he easily crossed the city wall.

Wei Zhuang looked around vigilantly, and just as he was about to go deeper.

A voice rang out in the dark night sky.

"What brings you here so late at night?"

On top of the high city gate, an eunuch appeared without anyone noticing.

He looked ahead calmly, his eyes were deep, like a bottomless pool of water.

Wei Zhuang's pupils shrank and he subconsciously tensed his body, thinking that he had been exposed.

Just as he was about to take action, a blindfolded man in black slowly walked out from the aisle.

He slowly stopped in front of the eunuch, paused for a second, and said slowly: "Sorry, I took the wrong road."

After saying that, the man in black turned around and walked in another direction.

"Kid, you're quite capable of walking to the palace even though you took the wrong road!"

The eunuch sneered and reached out to grab the man in black.

Just as he was about to succeed, the man in black nimbly dodged, drew his sword, and attacked the eunuch.

Wei Zhuang gathered his breath and watched the battle carefully.

After dozens of rounds, the man in black made a feint, got rid of the old eunuch, and fled out of the imperial city.

The huge commotion attracted the attention of the imperial guards and palace masters in the imperial city, and they all rushed over.

Wei Zhuang also keenly sensed that the powerful aura within the imperial city was also moving.

Seeing more and more people gathering around him, he could only reveal his identity and leave under the cover of night.

"There are actually people watching the fight nearby!"

Hong Sixiang's heart skipped a beat. Without having time to think about it, he immediately went to report to Emperor Qing.

……

at the same time.

Outside the imperial city, in a quiet alley.

Wu Zhu, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped and turned to look somewhere in the darkness.

"Sir, you've been following me for so long, why don't you come out and see me!"

After he finished speaking, Wei Zhuang slowly walked out from the corner.

Wu Zhu stared at Wei Zhuang for a while, twisting his neck slightly a few times.

"I don't know you, what's the matter?"

"I'm looking for a fight with you!"

Wei Zhuang didn't waste any words and rushed towards Wu Zhu with his sword.

As he was afraid of exposing his identity and causing trouble for Li Chengping, Wei Zhuang did not bring the shark tooth with him this time and just picked up a long sword from the palace.

After dozens of rounds, Wei Zhuang became more and more courageous.

Wu Zhu seemed to become a little impatient, and suddenly a black iron rod appeared in his hand.

He swung the stick down, breaking the sword directly, and stabbed towards Wei Zhuang's chest.

Wei Zhuang's expression remained unchanged. He dodged and continued to attack Wu Zhu, swinging the broken sword.

However, he underestimated the strength of the iron rod. After several rounds of collision, only the hilt of the sword remained in his hand.

The commotion here also attracted the attention of the governor of Kyoto, and a large number of soldiers rushed over.

"Farewell!"

Wei Zhuang knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he left after saying a few words.

Wu Zhu stood there in a daze, looking at the fragments on the ground, and then looking at the faint scratches on his clothes on his chest.

It was not until countless torches appeared at the entrance of the alley that he came to his senses, jumped up, and disappeared into the darkness.

When the governor of Kyoto arrived with his soldiers and saw the mess on the ground, he suddenly felt a little fortunate.

With such great destructive power, he must be a master at least at the upper ninth level!
