Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 359 Underground Palace Opening

Huang Sixi heard that Master Chang Shan agreed to let Shi Qingxuan stay in the nunnery.

He took out a few ingots of gold and handed them to Master Chang Shan: "This is the incense I added to your temple. Master Shan, please take good care of Sister Xuan's daily life!"

The money he donated was enough for a small temple like Yuhe Temple to have no worries about food and drink for two or three years.

Seeing that he was generous, Master Chang Shan knew that she had met a great pilgrim, and solemnly stated: "Donor, you are kind and generous, and you generously offer to my Buddha. I will definitely pray for you in front of the Buddha!"

Then she turned to Shi Qingxuan and bowed, saying, "Little donor, please feel free to stay in the nunnery. If you need anything, please let me know and I will take care of it."

Shi Qingxuan immediately bowed in return: "Then I'll have to trouble Master Shan to take care of you!"

She originally wanted to be polite and did not dare to instruct Master Chang Shan to do anything, but Huang Sixi donated a large sum of money, and she needed to maintain Huang Sixi's face, so she was not overly humble to Master Chang Shan.

She was about to say goodbye to Huang Sixi and Kankan for a short while, and turned her head to look at Kankan.

When Kankan saw her extending her hand, she quickly raised her palm and shook hands with hers.

Her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness, as if she was talking about homely matters: "I was originally planning to accompany sister Xian to visit the capital, but now I can't leave. Fortunately, sister Hongfu is from the capital, so sister Xian can go sightseeing with sister Hongfu!"

Wan Wan started to complain coquettishly: "We have already agreed to go shopping together. What's the point without Sister Xuan? I have to wait for you!"

Xianxian glanced at Huang Sixi and suddenly became interested again: "Why don't I move to the nunnery and eat vegetarian food with Sister Xuan for a few days, and let my husband go back to the inn alone!"

Without waiting for Shi Qingxuan to reply.

Huang Sixi stopped him first: "No, Xian'er, you have to come with me. Let Xuanmei stay here and wait for Master Fanzhai!"

If nothing unexpected happened, by the time Li Jing reported Yang Wengang's conspiracy to the court, Yang Wengang and Jingzhao Lian would have been controlled by soldiers today.

After the news spreads, no ships will leave the city tonight, and Yong'an Canal and Yuema Bridge will return to peace.

Huang Sixi wanted to activate the main switch of Yuema Bridge at night and then sneak into Yang Gong's treasury.

However, there is a mechanism in Yang Gong's treasure house that requires the simultaneous efforts of two people to open it. Huang Sixi needs to bring Kankan with him to explore the treasure house, so naturally he cannot let Kankan stay overnight in Yuhe Temple.

Kankan and Shi Qingxuan both knew the purpose of Huang Sixi's visit to Chang'an City. A visit to Fan Qinghui was only one aspect. The most important thing was to open Yang Gong's treasure house and take out the legendary evil emperor's relics that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Shi Qingxuan showed a gentle smile to Qianqian on her beautiful and refined face: "I'd better listen to your arrangements, brother!"

Wan Wan pursed her straight nose and opened her cherry lips slightly: "I will come to find Sister Xuan as soon as I finish my business with my husband!"

Shi Qingxuan hummed, separated his hand from Kankan's, and they each stood aside.

Both of them are naturally beautiful, with graceful figures, charming manners, and their every frown and smile are able to captivate everyone, but they both pour their gentleness and tenderness into Huang Sixi, and their feelings for him are intertwined.

This made Hong Fu Nu and Chang Shanshi, who were watching, curious. They couldn't tell who was the one Huang Sixi loved between Kan Kan and Shi Qingxuan.

However, they could clearly feel that the joy that Kankan and Shi Qingxuan felt when Huang Sixi was by their side was completely natural.

Hong Fu Nu couldn't help but think that apart from Mr. Jiang Long, there would probably be no other man in the world who could make Lady Wan and Mr. Shi admire him so much.

Hong Fu Nu originally wanted to make a suggestion, asking Huang Sixi and Kan Kan to move to an inn near Yuhe Temple, so that they could meet Shi Qingxuan at any time.

Before Hong Funu could speak, there was a sudden sound of fierce horse hooves outside the nunnery, accompanied by the cold and stern shouts of officers and soldiers: "There are spies from the rebel army in the city. The whole city is under immediate ban. Everyone must return home immediately. Anyone who leaves without permission will be treated as a spy and brought to justice on the spot!"

Hong Funu intuitively felt that the Forbidden City was related to Li Jing.

"I'll go out and find out what's going on!"

Hong Funu quickly left Yuhe Temple. She knew many officials in the city and could get first-hand information.

Qianqian and Shi Qingxuan looked at each other and smiled: "This is troublesome, we can't go anywhere!"

They had no worries about the tense situation in the city because they knew that even if the sky fell, Huang Sixi could still take care of them.

Master Chang Shan was worried: "Have the rebels already attacked the city? Amitabha, if the war breaks out, I don't know how many people will suffer, and I'm afraid there will be rivers of blood! If the rebels target this Yuhe Temple, the situation will be even worse!"

Xianxian comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Master Shan. My husband is in the city. No matter whether it is the soldiers or the rebels, they will never dare to kill the people. Instead, they will strictly control their subordinates and will not harm the people at all!"

Shi Qingxuan also consoled him: "The safety of Yuhe Temple will not be a problem. Brother Xian, stay here, and even thousands of troops can't get in. Master Shan, just keep everything the same!"

Master Chang Shan was immediately puzzled and looked at Huang Sixi again, wondering if this Mr. Huang had any special background? He could actually restrain the behavior of the officers and soldiers and the rebels by himself!
When Hong Fu came in to deliver the message just now, she only introduced Huang Sixi's real name, and did not reveal the identity of the assassin Jiang Long. Even if she did, Master Chang Shan was a bitter nun who had been accompanied by Qing Deng for many years and had very little understanding of the affairs of the martial arts world. She could not figure out how intimidating the assassin Jiang Long was.

Soon, Hong Fu Nu came back.

She came over and explained the situation to Huang Sixi and the others: "Outside, the imperial guards are blocking the streets. I am familiar with one of their small commanders. According to that commander, the King of Dai received a secret report from my husband that a large number of spies had sneaked into the capital. The King of Dai was worried that these spies would work together with Li Yuan, so he ordered the imperial guards to arrest them!"

The King of Dai was Yang You, the grandson of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. When Yang Guang visited Jiangdu last year, he asked Yang You to stay in Chang'an to supervise the country.

After Li Yuan raised his army in Jinyang, it was Yang You who had been mobilizing troops to intercept Li's army.

But Yang You was just a teenager under the age of fifteen. How could he handle important military affairs? He was definitely no match for the wily Li Yuan. It was only a matter of time before he was defeated.

Hong Fu Nu looked at Huang Sixi and expressed her doubts: "As for the identity of the spy, the commander is not aware of it. The order they received was only to block the streets and maintain order! Mr. Huang, who is the spy that my husband reported?"

Now that the streets have been blocked, Huang Sixi is not planning to return to the inn for the time being. He plans to stay in Yuhe Temple and wait for news from Li Jing.

There were only two outsiders in the nunnery, Hong Fu Nu and Chang Shanshi, so Huang Sixi did not hide the truth: "The spy is Yang Wengan, the 'horizontal training god'. He has been bribed by Li Yuan. When the Li family's army is approaching the city, the Jingzhao League he founded will participate in the rebellion and start an uprising in the city to help Li Yuan seize the city!"

Hong Fu Nu did not question Huang Sixi's words.

She only sighed in response: "Jingzhao Alliance is the largest gang in the capital, with businesses spread all over the city, and at least thousands of gang members under its command. No wonder they have to be banned. This is the only way to uproot them."

She also thought that Li Jing's doing this was equivalent to standing against the Li family. If the Li family broke through Chang'an in the future, Li Jing would no longer have a foothold.

However, she was not worried about Li Jing's safety. The instigator of this incident was the Dragon Subduing Prince in front of her, and Li Jing took the danger for the Dragon Subduing Prince.

Given the hatred of evil that Jiang Long Langjun has, if Li Jing encounters difficulties with the Li family in the future, Jiang Long Langjun will definitely not sit idly by.

Hong Fu felt that the only danger Li Jing would face was a risky future. If the Li family took control of the capital and seized the world, Li Jing might not be able to continue staying in officialdom.

With this melancholy feeling in her heart, Hong Fu Nu stayed in Yuhe Temple with Huang Sixi, Kan Kan and Shi Qingxuan.

All day long, the streets of Beijing were filled with arrest operations against Yang Wengan and Jingzhao Lian.

Due to the complex power of the Jingzhao League, they controlled hundreds of shops in the city, and their members could be seen in every street and alley.

This massive arrest operation came to an end near dusk.

Li Jing also returned to Yuhe Temple to reunite with Huang Sixi. "The Jingzhao Alliance has been wiped out!"

This was Li Jing's first words after he entered the room.

He participated in the entire operation: "Thousands of members of the Jingzhao Alliance were all arrested and imprisoned, but they were basically unaware of Yang Wengan's conspiracy to collude with the Li family. Currently, Yang Wengan and other backbone members are being strictly interrogated. It is estimated that the results will not be known until tomorrow!"

Li Jing was also one of the presiding officials. He took advantage of the dinner break to come and see Huang Sixi as he had to go back to the government office later.

Hong Fu Nu asked him, "Has the ban on the street been lifted?"

"It has been lifted!"

Li Jing gestured to her to be at ease: "You can leave the nunnery at any time!"

It was already dark, and it was inconvenient for Huang Sixi to stay in the nunnery, so he and Kankan said goodbye to Shi Qingxuan and Chang Shanshi, and hurried back to the inn accompanied by Li Jing and Hong Funu.

Although the blockade has been lifted, people are still worried about getting into trouble and all stay at home, not daring to go out, resulting in extremely deserted streets with few pedestrians to be seen.

After returning to the inn, Li Jing did not disturb Huang Sixi's rest and agreed to visit him again the next morning. He would then inform Huang Sixi of the results of the interrogation of the Jingzhao Lian gang.

Li Jing first sent Hong Fu back home and went to the government office alone.

Huang Sixi and Kan Kan were not in a hurry to go to bed. They stayed in the guest room until midnight, then quietly left the inn and climbed onto the Yuema Bridge.

At this time, there was silence around Yuema Bridge. There was no one to be seen, not even a single light, which was in stark contrast to the noise and bustle of yesterday.

Huang Sixi's strategy of pushing the government to arrest Yang Wengan and Jingzhao Lian obviously achieved excellent results.

He led Kankan to the middle of Yuema Bridge and expertly found the six watchtowers. The tops of these watchtowers were carved into six stone dragon heads looking down over the bridge, adding a finishing touch to the entire stone bridge.

There is a faint connection between the bottom of the dragon heads of the six watchtowers and the bridge body.

Huang Sixi stretched out his hand and wrapped his arm around the dragon head of one of the watchtowers, twisted it left and right, pulled it up two inches, and then quickly found the dragon head button locks of the other five watchtowers, and started them while following the instructions.

The main switch of Yang Gong’s treasure house was thus opened.

Kanan keenly sensed that the originally calm water surface under the bridge was now rippling.

This is because the mechanism under the riverbed was activated, causing abnormal water flow.

Back then, Lu Miaozi used water power to set up the mechanism. As long as the six watchtowers on this side were rotated, the secret passage at the wellhead of Xiji Garden a hundred feet away would open.

Since all the sounds of the mechanism were submerged under the water, there was no sound.

Even if a martial arts master stands by the bridge, he will never be able to guess the mystery under the bridge.

After Huang Sixi opened the mechanism on the bridge, he immediately took Kankan to Xiji Garden, found a well on the north side of the garden, and both dived to the bottom of the well.

Huang Sixi fumbled on the wall of the well and found a conspicuous stone that protruded about an inch outward.

This stone is the button at the entrance to Yang Gong's treasure house. It is usually hidden in the wall of the well. The button will only appear when the main switch of Yuema Bridge is turned on.

Huang Sixi pushed the stone inwards with his hand. With a creaking sound, the wall of the well slowly caved in, revealing a hole that was only big enough for one person to pass through.

This is a secret passage made of granite, which extends downward at an angle and is quite steep.

There were no dark and wet plants such as moss growing on the walls of the secret passage, and the air was very stuffy. The two men waited at the entrance for a while to let the turbid air dissipate before they went into the dark little square cave.

After diving down for more than ten feet, they came across a stone door with a button on the side. After Huang Sixi turned it, the stone door opened automatically, but a rock fell from the hole in the well wall behind the two of them.

The entrance to the treasure house was tightly blocked with a "bang!"

At this time, even if someone dived into the well, they would never find any trace of the entrance.

Huang Sixi and Kankan were also completely blocked in the stone path.

They can no longer retreat, and must open the core secret room of Yang Gong's treasury in one go, and then reopen the entrance through the central mechanism of the secret room.

"Are you afraid, babe?"

Huang Sixi took out the fire starter that he had prepared long ago, lit the torch, and inserted it diagonally into the wall of the cave.

As the light came on, Huang Sixi turned around and asked.

Xianxian immediately spoke to him in a sweet voice: "As long as Xian'er is by your side, I won't be afraid of anything!"

Far from being afraid, Kanan felt that the atmosphere was very ambiguous as she and Huang Sixi were in such a narrow and enclosed space, which caused ripples in her heart.

She felt that at this moment, it would be most appropriate to say something to Huang Sixi in private.

She deliberately moved forward and snuggled up to Huang Sixi: "My dear, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, just ask!"

"Do you like Xian'er more, or do you like Sister Xuan more?"

"I definitely like you more!"

"Really?"

When Wan Wan heard Huang Sixi's powerful answer, which was not just a perfunctory response, she smiled with her eyebrows as crescent-shaped as a crescent moon: "Why do you like Wan Er more?"

Huang Sixi said seriously: "Because Qingxuan is not like you, always looking at me with such a charming look!"

Kankan is already very charming and beautiful, and if she gives you a loving look, no matter how hard your heart is, you will surely melt in her tender affection and become addicted to it.

Of course, it might be because Kankan had experienced life and death in Bieshan, and her feelings for Huang Sixi were even deeper, which made the introverted and reserved Shi Qingxuan look as plain as water.

Xianxian raised her delicate face as clear as jade, blinked her sparkling eyes, and gave Huang Sixi a charming smile: "If you like it, Xian'er will look at you like this every day!"

Huang Sixi felt the charming fragrance she brought, and suddenly stretched out his hands to embrace her soft and fragrant body.

She also passionately raised her arms, stretched out her pair of soft hands, tightly hugged Huang Sixi's neck, and wrapped herself in Huang Sixi's arms like a water snake.

Huang Sixi noticed her trembling body and was extra gentle to her.

After lingering for a while, the two reluctantly separated their faces.
