Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 229 Common Enemy, Ally?

It's just a gold-quality talent; I already have one.

He even possesses better red-quality talents, so of course he won't be intimidated by this little bit of momentum.

Just right.

You could try out the red talent you recently acquired.

"The interplay of Yin and Yang leads to the natural order of all things!"

As Ye Liuyun moved, a Tai Chi symbol of two fish rose from beneath his feet.

Fu Zhengqing's attacks were absorbed by the Tai Chi double fish pattern the instant they landed, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without even a ripple.

Dissipated without a trace.

",,,"

This scene caused Fu Zhengqing to stop what he was doing.

She just stared blankly at Ye Liuyun, her gaze unfocused, as if she herself didn't know what to do next.

He just stared blankly at Ye Liuyun.

This incident made Fu Zhengqing realize that Ye Liuyun was indeed a genuine Grandmaster, not some illusion.

"Aren't you going to continue?"

Seeing Fu Zhengqing stop moving, Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow slightly.

"If you don't make a move, I will!"

As he spoke, a power as scorching as fire and as cold as ice appeared simultaneously on Ye Liuyun's body, revealing his innate talent for the interplay of Yin and Yang.

Ye Liuyun can now perfectly control these two completely different powers.

Although Fu Zhengqing remained silent, he did not stop what he was doing.

Although Fu Zhengqing had been immersed in the early stage of the Grandmaster realm for a long time, and although his realm had not continued to break through, the accumulation of his internal strength was incomparable to that of an ordinary early stage Grandmaster.

But the same thing.

With so many top-tier talents, Ye Liuyun is also far beyond the reach of ordinary early-stage Grandmasters.

In the midst of the confrontation.

Even though Fu Zhengqing fought back with all his might, he was still forced back several steps.

"hiss!"

This scene.

This left some spectators even more astonished.

Even if they are both grandmasters, they are at most evenly matched.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Fu Zhengqing is still slightly inferior.

of course.

Ye Liuyun wasn't so confident that he could definitely defeat Fu Zhengqing.

After all, besides being a Grandmaster, Fu Zhengqing was also a fourth-rank sorcerer. However, unless it was a matter of life and death, Fu Zhengqing would never casually reveal the methods of a sorcerer.

"That's it!"

Fu Zhengqing realized this.

If the fight continues, unless he uses sorcery, he will not be able to defeat Ye Liuyun at all, and will likely be suppressed by Ye Liuyun.

If that's the case, then what's the point of persisting?

"Your talent is truly admirable!"

This is a direct acknowledgment of Ye Liuyun's talent.

The main point is that we can't deny it.

He's so young, yet he's already a grandmaster. Is there really anyone in the world who can be this talented?

Many times, Fu Zhengqing suspected that Ye Liuyun might be practicing some kind of demonic art with extremely severe side effects.

But if it's a demonic art, it's very difficult to cultivate to the level of a grandmaster, and judging from Ye Liuyun's vigorous blood and energy, he doesn't seem to be affected by any side effects.

Even Fu Zhengqing.

Everyone has to admit it.

If there is anyone in the world who can steadily step into the realm of a terrestrial immortal, it is probably only Ye Liuyun right before our eyes.

but!

Knowing that Ye Liuyun's cultivation had reached the Grandmaster level, Fu Zhengqing looked at Ye Liuyun with a strange expression.

However, it wasn't shown directly at this time.

"go!"

After taking one last look at Ye Liuyun, Fu Zhengqing turned and left.

As for that middle-aged man, Fu Zhengqing didn't even give him a second glance.

It was as if they simply ignored it.

can be seen.

The appearance of Fu Zhengqing filled the middle-aged men with hope.

But right now, precisely because of Fu Zhengqing's departure, the hope in the middle-aged man's eyes vanished instantly.

"So, did you expect that your protective umbrella wasn't actually that reliable?"

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun, who was standing to the side, said with a smile.

"you!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression clearly froze, and he looked over with a hint of disbelief.

It seems that it was not expected.

Ye Liuyun was able to guess that Fu Zhengqing was his protector.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that his protective umbrella is not safe at all. But what the middle-aged man did not expect was that the Imperial Guard in front of him was actually a Grandmaster!

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man deflated like a punctured balloon, instantly losing all his energy and spirit.

"Kill it!"

See this scene.

Ye Liuyun wasn't too surprised.

Fu Zhengqing was an absolute egoist.

When it comes to his own interests, Fu Zhengqing cares more than anyone else. He will only take action if it does not harm his own interests.

There is no need for interrogation.

On the one hand, I can probably guess what I need to know.

on the other hand.

Even if interrogated, this middle-aged man probably wouldn't say anything. Although he had been abandoned, Fu Zhengqing must still have a backup plan, such as controlling the man's family.

No matter how you interrogate them, they won't tell you anything.

It would be better to just kill them.

Such a matter naturally did not require Ye Liuyun to take action personally.

He waved his hand, and immediately other Imperial Guards stepped forward to help Ye Liuyun.

The middle-aged man seemed to have anticipated this.

He just kept his head down, looking pale, and made no attempt to struggle.

"grown ups!"

After Fu Zhengqing left, Si Nan and the others gathered together again.

The aura of a grandmaster was not something they could withstand; they were directly blasted back a great distance by that aura.

"Fu Zhengqing's sudden appearance here is probably for some other purpose!"

We are all smart people.

The autumn outing was just an excuse.

What a coincidence! They're dealing with a rebellion right now.

Fu Zhengqing happened to be here on an autumn outing.

What a coincidence! His mother opened the door for him, and they arrived home by sheer coincidence.

He was also accompanied by people from the Ministry of Justice.

It seems that Fu Zhengqing had already made plans, so that even if things went wrong, he could take his people away immediately.

only.

Fu Zhengqing never expected that Ye Liuyun was no longer a late-stage Grandmaster, but a genuine Grandmaster.

"grown ups."

Si Nan was a little worried.

Fu Zhengqing has suffered a setback, and he will definitely take further action later.

"Don't worry!"

Noticing the change in Si Nan's expression, Ye Liuyun smiled indifferently.

If Si Nan could foresee this, how could Ye Liuyun not have thought of it? Yet, even so, Ye Liuyun still chose to take action, clearly indicating that he had already made up his mind.

"Fu Zhengqing's main concern right now is someone else, so he's destined not to focus too much attention on me!"

As long as Yan Fuhai is alive.

Fu Zhengqing found it difficult to focus his attention on other people.

Ye Liuyun could guess that Fu Zhengqing had someone control the water bandit rebellion, probably to create panic and test Yan Fuhai.

This is evident from this point.

On the surface, Fu Zhengqing appeared to be behaving himself, but in reality, he was still thinking about how to deal with Yan Fuhai.

only.

They seem to be in a bit of a hurry.

Otherwise, given Fu Zhengqing's previous abilities, the plan would never have been so rushed; it felt like a plan hastily devised.

The plan was implemented before many aspects had been considered.

"Besides, even if he wanted to deal with me, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Besides being a grandmaster, Fu Zhengqing also practiced sorcery.

But isn’t it the same for me?
It's like everyone's a warlock.

"Understood, sir!"

Si Nan, who had originally wanted to say something more, felt much more relaxed seeing how confident his master was.

It seems they believe that as long as their elders are still alive, there won't be any problems.

The bandits have been eliminated, and the middle-aged man has been dealt with.

The problems in Linshui City have been properly resolved.

"Sir, what's next?"

Hear this.

Ye Liuyun turned his head and looked at the surviving registrars.

can be seen.

Although the magistrate was dead, all of them looked relieved.

It seems to be felt.

Now all the blame has been placed on the county magistrate, and it has nothing to do with them anymore. Even if the county magistrate dies, their status will not be affected.

more than this.

They were already thinking that now that the position of county magistrate was vacant, perhaps they still had a good chance to compete for the position.

Thinking about this, some people started to laugh smugly.

for this scene.

Ye Liuyun didn't say much, but a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"The bandit issue is resolved, but the problem of Linshui City is not yet solved. You should know what to do next!"

talking.

Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to look at Si Nan.

Of all his subordinates, Si Nan was the one Ye Liuyun trusted the most.

The one who has been by my side the longest and is also the most sensible.

"understand!"

really.

Ye Liuyun didn't need to make his words too direct.

Si Nan nodded knowingly, clearly understanding his master's meaning.

He then said no more, but gave a look to the few Imperial Guards beside him, and led some men toward the registrar and his men.

Some of these people are already dreaming about their future lives.

With the county magistrate no longer above them, once these Imperial Guards leave, won't Linshui City be theirs for the taking? Then, they could probably do whatever they wanted. But just as they were contemplating this...

The registrar and his companions felt as if a dark cloud had descended upon them.

When he came to his senses, he found that he had been surrounded by several Imperial Guards.

",,,"

Do not know why.

This scene gave the registrar and his companions a bad feeling.

Even his voice trembled slightly for a moment.

"Gentlemen, is there anything else?"

Their faces were all wearing fawning smiles.

Seeing this, Si Nan smiled.

His tone was natural, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

"You don't really think your little tricks can fool my father, do you?"

"???"

What does this mean?
Although she was a little confused at first, she quickly realized what was going on, her expression changed, and she was just about to say something.

But it was clearly too late!

"take away!"

Si Nan simply waved his hand.

Several Imperial Guards came over and took the registrar and others away.

Throughout the ordeal, these people continued to cry and beg for mercy, but unfortunately, it was all in vain!
,,,

night!

Ye Liuyun and his group did not leave Linshui City and continued to stay in the inn they had stayed at before.

after all.

The problems in Linshui City haven't been fully resolved yet, so even if we were to leave, it definitely wouldn't be now.

Taking advantage of this time, Ye Liuyun glanced at the character template that he hadn't opened in a long time!
“Talent entry system!
Host: Ye Liuyun!

Realm: Early Grandmaster / Rank 5 Sorcerer
Martial arts: Wind-cutting swordsmanship, Cangyang Jin, Pinewood swordsmanship, Broken Jade Hand, Flame Blade, Phantom Ninefold Body, Tyrant Sword [click to view],

Spells: Basic Fire Control, Flying Sand and Rocks, Illusionary Mind [Click to view],

"Water Spirit Body (Metal): Naturally possesses the ability to control water sources, can breathe freely underwater, and cultivates underwater at a speed ten times faster than ordinary people!"

The biggest takeaway from this trip.

This is the golden-quality Water Spirit Body talent.

Originally, it was just a purple-quality water sensing ability, but due to the talent attributes on those water bandits, they didn't have many other talents, but diving was the most common.

This type of talent is highly compatible with talents like water sensing.

Although the quality was generally average, the quantity accumulated.

I upgraded the purple-quality Water Source Sensing talent.

It has become the Water Spirit Body talent it possesses now!

"Is training underwater faster?"

It's another talent attribute related to physique. This type of talent usually has very good effects, and Ye Liuyun is clearly satisfied with this talent attribute.

He nodded slightly.

He then closed the character template and glanced sideways at the door.

"Since you're here, why don't you just come in?"

When Ye Liuyun opened the character template, he sensed the presence outside the door.

However, since the other party did not intend to come in directly, Ye Liuyun was not in a hurry to say anything and first looked at his character template.

After reading it, he then gave the other person a reminder.

",,,"

The words fell.

The person outside remained silent for a while before pushing open the door and coming in.

really.

Just as Ye Liuyun had expected, the person who arrived was none other than Fu Zhengqing, whom he had just fought during the day.

"Is the Prime Minister coming here at this time because he's still upset about what happened during the day and wants to cause trouble for me?"

Seeing Fu Zhengqing's silent expression.

Ye Liuyun seemed quite casual.

After making a teasing remark, he poured himself a cup of tea, seemingly unconcerned that Fu Zhengqing had come to cause trouble.

",,,"

Fu Zhengqing did not speak, but went straight to the seat in front of Ye Liuyun and sat down.

We are all smart people.

Fu Zhengqing could tell that Ye Liuyun must have figured something out, but Fu Zhengqing didn't intend to explain anything.

After a moment of silence, he spoke directly.

"We shouldn't be rivals!"

It's clear that Fu Zhengqing doesn't want to go against Ye Liuyun, especially after learning about Ye Liuyun's talent. He's already broken through to the Grandmaster level at such a young age, what will he be like in the future?

If such a person cannot be nipped in the bud in the bud, then they cannot become a friend, and certainly should not become an enemy.

not to mention.

Fu Zhengqing himself did not believe that he and Ye Liuyun should become enemies.

After all, they share the same enemy.

Ye Liuyun made no attempt to interrupt.

Instead, she quietly waited for Fu Zhengqing to continue, and this made Fu Zhengqing feel a little more at ease; as long as they could communicate, that was good.

He was afraid that Ye Liuyun was young and impetuous and wouldn't listen to a word he said.

That would be truly difficult.

"You should have heard that I reached the Grandmaster level many years ago, but after all this time, I am still only at the early stage of Grandmaster. If it were a matter of talent, I would never have been able to reach the Grandmaster level in the first place!"

If it really is a matter of talent.

It's impossible to even reach the level of a Grandmaster.

How could it have remained at the same level for so long?

Talk about this.

Fu Zhengqing's expression clearly showed fear, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, as if he had thought of something.

Is it Yan Fuhai?

Ye Liuyun did not feign ignorance.

I went along with it and said something.

"That's right!"

Fu Zhengqing was not surprised that Ye Liuyun could guess this.

Instead, he agreed decisively and nodded affirmatively.

"Yan Fuhai is a cautious and suspicious man who likes to control everything. He will never allow anything to happen that is beyond his expectations. Commander Ye, you should also know that your talent will definitely attract Yan Fuhai's attention, right?"

",,,"

This time, Ye Liuyun did not deny anything.

Ye Liuyun still hasn't forgotten the hint of murderous intent Yan Fuhai showed him during the autumn hunt.

In other words, the effect of the backlash from the Qi Luck restricted Yan Fuhai.

Otherwise, Yan Fuhai would probably have already made his move!
"It must be because of Yan Fuhai that my cultivation has been stuck at the early stage of Grandmaster, with no way to advance. You are in the same boat. Once the news that you are a Grandmaster reaches back to the capital and into Yan Fuhai's ears."

"Your talent will inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion. At that time, you will be like me. Once you break through in cultivation again, you will attract Yan Fuhai's crazy targeting!"

simply put.

Yan Fuhai was not tolerant of others and would never allow the cultivation level of his subordinates to exceed his expectations.

"Therefore, we should not only not be enemies, but also friends!"

talking.

Fu Zhengqing looked at Ye Liuyun with sincere eyes.

With that look in his eyes, it was as if everything Fu Zhengqing was saying came from the bottom of his heart.

"Only without Yan Fuhai can we go further, right?"

",,,"

No, if I really want to go further, I can just leave Daqian.

Isn't it because they can't let go of the power they hold?

Ultimately, I'm just getting old. I'm not as young anymore. I'm reluctant to give up this position of being second only to the emperor, and I no longer have the belief that I can start over if things don't work out.

In contrast, Ye Liuyun was different.

There is no place to stay here.

If things don't work out, I'll just leave. So from the very beginning, Ye Liuyun never thought that he and Fu Zhengqing were the same kind of people.

but.

Since the other party enjoys acting now, Ye Liuyun doesn't mind playing along for a bit.

He tilted his head, not refuting, but going along with it.

"So, the trouble you're planning to cause Yan Fuhai is actually about secretly controlling a rebellion within the Great Qian Dynasty?"

have to say.

To control river bandits and instigate rebellions is truly outrageous.

It seems that Fu Zhengqing is really anxious, otherwise his plan would not be so full of loopholes!
"If you actually succeed, a lot of people will probably die!"

“Those who achieve great things do not dwell on small details.”

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words...

Fu Zhengqing waved his hand and said with a magnanimous air.

"As long as we can get rid of Yan Fuhai, then everything will be worth it!"

Actually.

Fu Zhengqing wanted to say that they were just a group of common people, and their loss was no big deal. What was there to care about?

But considering that it might not be appropriate to say these words in front of Ye Liuyun, he held back.

But in his words...

It still shows contempt for ordinary people.

It seems that he genuinely felt that as long as his plan could be accomplished, it would be worth it no matter how many people died.

",,,"

That was exactly the answer I expected!
Ye Liuyun couldn't help but laugh. Fu Zhengqing's answer was exactly what Ye Liuyun had expected.

These are the one or two people in positions of power.

It seems there are very few people who truly care about ordinary people.

"Now that you mention it, it seems I've actually ruined Lord Fu's plans!"

"Don't say that!"

Fu Zhengqing waved his hand dismissively and said it without a care in the world.

"This plan was rushed, and it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, if things had really gotten out of hand, I probably would have been implicated very quickly!"

Fu Zhengqing was also waiting for the plan to be truly implemented.

Just realized.

The plan I came up with this time was a bit too hasty, and I wasn't prepared very well.

Thankfully, it was damaged.

otherwise.

Fu Zhengqing even planned to secretly call the person back himself.

The only pity is that the last subordinate at the Innate Perfection Realm is gone.

But thought.

Having another Grandmaster as an ally is a great deal!
