Chapter 70 Temptation
As Qi Linxian spoke, he became even more annoyed:
"And the instant movement formation. I spent more than half a year learning it, but the first time I used it, I was restrained by Zeng Shilin..."

"Mmmmmmm..."

He opened his eyes wide, and suddenly found that he couldn't open his mouth, and could only make "hmm" sounds through his throat! !
Without his noisy voice.

Master Xu slowly closed his eyes and said in a long voice: "Zeng Anmin... Questioning Heaven Formation..."

There was silence in the main hall.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked towards Sai Chuxue:

"Master, I have one more thing to bother you with."

Sai Chuxue was somewhat dissatisfied and muttered, "Going to Jiangnan to catch the traitors didn't give me any benefits..."

"Go to the palace and tell Emperor Jianhong that Qi Xianlin colluded with Prince Jiang to rebel. This traitor should be eliminated by my Xuanzhen Division."

…………

The capital, the palace, the imperial study.

Emperor Jianhong sat calmly in the imperial study, looking at the memorial in his hand that was sent to him at full speed from Liangjiang County.

The letter is divided into two parts.

The first memorial included the investigation of the missing dragon map, the execution of Prince Jiang, and the Liangjiang County Governor Qi Xiande's attack on the Xuanjing Division...

At least nearly two thousand words were written.

The first five hundred words are greetings from Zeng Shilin, the governor of Fengqi Road, to Emperor Jianhong.

The last 1,500 words start with the case of the missing dragon map, the case of Zhang Lun, a student at the Water Supervisor Academy, and then the assassination of Zeng Anmin, the left clerk of the Xuanjing Division, by the black cat warrior. Then Zeng Anmin uncovered the rebellion of Prince Jiang through clues and obtained evidence of the rebellion, and finally the demon tribe invaded the Xuanjing Division...

Among them, Zeng Anmin used these clues to connect all the evidence together and uncovered Prince Jiang’s rebellion.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zeng Anmin made the greatest contribution, followed by Zeng Shilin.

Afterwards, two warriors, Wang Deli, the commander of Liangjiang County, and Lin Rong, the lieutenant general of Liangjiang County, were killed in the battle.

"Prince Jiang is rebelling."

In the empty imperial study, the meaning of Emperor Jianhong's voice was unclear.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head, and his voice seemed to be asking the air:

"Is it Prince Jiang who wants to rebel, or is it Zeng Shilin who wants to monopolize power and not give us a way out?"

No one could answer him.

The entire imperial study was still deathly silent.

After a long time, Emperor Jianhong narrowed his eyes.

"Since you want to take all the power..."

He slowly stood up, picked up the wolf's whisk on the table, and prepared to write comments on the memorial.

Soon, Emperor Jianhong had written nearly a hundred words.

What is written at the beginning is about rewards based on merit.

But he did not mention a single word about "Prince Jiang's rebellion".

The last sentence was written by him in a flourish:
【Zeng Anmin was promoted to the position of Supervisory Censor of Jingzhao Prefecture for his meritorious service in solving the case and was ordered to return to the capital within ten days.】

After finishing writing, Emperor Jianhong slowly put down his pen, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard.

"Your Majesty, Xuanzhen Si Sai Chuxue requests to see you."

Jianhong frowned slightly, then nodded calmly: "Yeah."

……

Sai Chuxue walked into the imperial study carelessly and looked around curiously.

It was her first time here and she was extremely curious about everything here.

Finally, under the guidance of the eunuch, she saw Emperor Jianhong.

"My master asked me to come."

After she saw Emperor Jianhong, she stated her purpose.

There was no greeting, no respect at all.

But Jianhong was rarely displeased. Instead, he smiled amiably and asked:

"I wonder what Master Xu wants?"

Sai Chuxue saw Jianhong's kind face and blinked curiously.

This old man doesn't seem as scary as the rumors say.

"My master told me to tell you that Qi Linxian, a discarded disciple of my Xuanzhen Division, colluded with King Jiang to plot a rebellion. He has been caught by us. Our Xuanzhen Division will deal with him."

Sai Chuxue spoke as if it was a matter of course, without noticing that Emperor Jianhong suddenly clenched his fist.

"Why don't you speak?"

Sai Chuxue looked at Emperor Jianhong curiously.

Emperor Jianhong took a deep breath and forced a smile:
"I understand."

"Oh, I'll go first then." Sai Chuxue was about to walk out, but suddenly stopped, looking at Jianhong with her watery eyes, with a pure smile on her face:
"You're actually pretty good."

After saying that, she stuck out her tongue at Jianhong and left the imperial study.

……

Jianhong was stunned at first, then looked at Sai Chuxue's back as she left.

After a long time, Jianhong raised his eyelids and stretched out his slightly blackened hands.

He took the review he had just written on the table, crumpled it into a ball, and then threw it into the burning brazier beside him.

"嗞~"

It was as if it had never appeared and turned into a wisp of black smoke.

…………

Liangjiang County Governor's Office.

"How about it?"

Zeng Anmin put away the slightly hot jade stick in his hand.

He raised his eyebrows as he looked at Bai Ziqing, who was sitting on a chair with his back to him.

In front of Bai Ziqing stood a mirror as tall as a person.

In the mirror, his long flowing hair was curled into small curls like waves.

Even the hair color turned yellow.

"This……"

Bai Ziqing opened his eyes wide, looked at himself in the mirror, hesitated for a while, looked up and asked:

“Is that right?”

Zeng Anmin was extremely satisfied. He nodded affirmatively and said, "It's correct!"

On the table next to the two of them was a green, thick liquid that looked like glutinous rice.

The thick liquid is Zeng Anmin’s homemade pure natural hair dye.

It is made by mixing osmanthus leaves, aloe vera juice, and thick rice porridge.

"Look, the white hair dye you made is not only unstable, but it also peels off..."

Zeng Anmin patiently explained to him:
"But my all-natural hair spray not only lasts a long time, but it also doesn't flake off after I blow dry it, leaving it all over my body."

As he spoke, Zeng Anmin touched his yellow hair and showed it to him.

"really!"

When Bai Ziqing saw Zeng Anmin's smooth hands, his eyes lit up and he murmured:
"This way I won't have to use martial arts energy to isolate my hair and clothes all the time..."

"And believe me, if you walk down the street like this, you will definitely be the most eye-catching person on the street. Everyone else will be eclipsed when you appear!"

Zeng Anmin patted his chest with a solemn vow:
"Especially this unique perming technique. Not only in the Great Saint Dynasty, but also in the entire Nine Provinces, there is no other one like this one!"

"Just tell me if it looks good or not!"

Zeng Anmin lifted a strand of Bai Ziqing's curly hair that looked like a waterfall and raised his eyebrows at himself in the mirror.

"nice!"

The more Bai Ziqing looked at it, the happier he felt.

"Just think about it. Every time you go on a mission and your men are unable to defeat the thieves, you descend on the battlefield like a god, with flowing and exotic yellow hair... your curly hair instantly attracts everyone's attention!"

"At this time, you say calmly: "I have fought in battles over three thousand miles, and my sword has chilled nineteen states. Now that you have seen me, you should surrender!"

"That scene... Don't worry, everyone will be fascinated by you!!"

Zeng Anmin's voice sounded like the whisper of a devil.

Bai Ziqing's face flushed, his eyes were filled with eagerness and anticipation, and his words were somewhat incoherent:

"Good...good...good!! Wonderful, wonderful..."

"Ahem." Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:
"I heard from my father that you are good at archery and concealed weapons?"

Ok?
Bai Ziqing looked up in confusion, not knowing what Zeng Anmin meant by that.
