Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 230 The Grandmaster's Position Shocks the Court and the Countryside! Those Who Want to Climb the Ladder Arrive
Fu Zhengqing himself was a cold-hearted person.

They value their own interests above all else; as long as their own interests are not harmed, they won't care at all if a few subordinates die.

"If you and I want to advance further in the Grandmaster realm, then we must eliminate Yan Fuhai, right?"

"You have a point!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun seemed to ponder for a moment before nodding in deep agreement.

See this.

Fu Zhengqing's face lit up with joy.

"We should cooperate!"

"how do you want to do it?"

Ye Liuyun did not deny it, but asked in return out of curiosity, wanting to see if Fu Zhengqing had any plans!
Hear this.

Fu Zhengqing then realized that his collaboration with Ye Liuyun was almost complete.

I feel much more at peace now.

Having a partner at the Grandmaster level would be much safer than before.

As for what plans to make.

After a moment of silence, Fu Zhengqing finally spoke.

"I can't think of any good solutions right now, but if you have any good ideas, I'm willing to listen to your suggestions!"

No matter what, they are all terrestrial deities.

Moreover, Fu Zhengqing was unaware of the backlash from the fortune.

and many more.

Ye Liuyun suddenly realized something. Fu Zhengqing didn't know that Yan Fuhai was suffering from the backlash of his luck and couldn't act rashly. He still thought that Yan Fuhai was a normal terrestrial immortal.

The reason I'm currently spending most of my time in seclusion is simply because I want to consolidate my cultivation level and strength.

Yes! That's exactly what Fu Zhengqing thought.

But what if Fu Zhengqing knew that Yan Fuhai was suffering from a backlash of bad luck?

To even resort to a rebellion shows they're desperate.

If Fu Zhengqing were to learn about the backlash of fortune, Ye Liuyun did not believe that the other party would remain inactive.

Think of this.

Ye Liuyun suddenly looked up at the sky and sighed.

"That's a terrestrial deity! What kind of scheme could possibly outwit a terrestrial deity?"

This is an absolute gap in cultivation level; it's not something that can be overcome with mere words.

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhengqing couldn't help but sigh, clearly understanding the same point.

"I really don't understand how Yan Fuhai broke through to the level of a terrestrial immortal. I've heard that no one in the world has reached that level for nearly a hundred years!"

Perhaps he felt that he and Ye Liuyun were now partners.

Or perhaps it's a feeling.

There was nothing to hide about this, so Fu Zhengqing spoke directly.

"Although Yan Fuhai has good talent, it is absolutely impossible for him to reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal through normal cultivation methods!"

If breaking through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal were truly that easy.

Then there wouldn't be so many people in the world stuck at this level.

So many young heroes have fallen at this level, so what's the point of Yan Fuhai?

"You became famous late, so you don't know. It was a treasure that Yan Fuhai obtained by chance during an autumn hunt more than ten years ago, when he was in power. It can activate the power of destiny!"

"Therefore, I speculate that Yan Fuhai broke through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal by drawing upon the fortune of the entire Great Qian Dynasty and converging it upon himself!"

Fu Zhengqing was right there when Yan Fuhai obtained that treasure.

He also said a couple of words of congratulations.

Think about it now.

Congratulations my ass! I should have just smashed that treasure.

"I see!"

Ye Liuyun nodded knowingly, as if he had just found out.

Then he looked puzzled again.

"But I've heard that the power of destiny is elusive and mysterious. Doesn't Yan Fuhai's cultivation using the power of destiny have any side effects?"

"Ok?"

These words clearly startled Fu Zhengqing, who was still somewhat unwilling.

side effect?
Fu Zhengqing had never really thought of that before.

Or perhaps they think that the worst side effect is that their breathing will be a little unstable, but they can recover with time!
"Since Lord Fu has been so honest with me, then I won't hide anything from him either!"

Ye Liuyun's sudden formal speech made Fu Zhengqing look over with some confusion.

"Actually, I've been able to see other people's fortune since I was little, but I've never thought this ability was useful, so I've never told anyone about it!"

"Seeing other people's fortune?"

This talent surprised Fu Zhengqing somewhat.

But it wasn't too strange. If Ye Liuyun hadn't had some special talent, Fu Zhengqing would have found it odd.

Just like myself.

They are born with the talent to sense and control the forces of earth, water, wind, and fire.

At the same time, he can also sense the changes in the stars; isn't that also one of his talents?

"what do you mean?"

There must have been a reason why Ye Liuyun suddenly brought this up.

"When we first met, I felt something was strange. Although he had an imposing presence, Yan Fuhai's luck was extremely broken. At the time, I thought I was seeing things. Yan Fuhai's luck was even worse than that of an ordinary person!"

"Is this true?"

Fu Zhengqing was clearly taken aback.

Ye Liuyun continued speaking.

"Do you remember the autumn hunt?"

Fu Zhengqing didn't think much of it and immediately nodded.

Just kidding. I can forget other things, but this is the one thing I absolutely can't forget.

That kind of scene where you can turn your hand to make clouds or rain.

While Fu Zhengqing felt fear, he also yearned for it. The legendary realm of terrestrial immortals was something he would naturally want to try and glimpse into if possible.

Just a pity.

I can't even break through to the mid-stage of Grandmaster right now, let alone become a legend.

"Didn't you notice that the sky became noticeably gloomy during the autumn hunt?"

"gloomy?"

At that time, Fu Zhengqing's attention was entirely focused on Yan Fuhai, who was a terrestrial immortal.

Where is there any attention left to focus on other things?

but.

Now that Ye Liuyun had brought it up, Fu Zhengqing began to recall things.

The weather at the time was indeed not very good.

But what does it matter?

Not to mention Fu Zhengqing, many people present at the time probably thought that the change in the sky was due to Yan Fuhai's power.

I've heard that once you reach the level of a terrestrial immortal, you can already mobilize a certain amount of the power of heaven and earth. Just causing changes in the weather of a region shouldn't be a problem, right?

Judging from Fu Zhengqing's expression, Ye Liuyun could pretty much guess what he was thinking.

After shaking his head slightly, he said with a serious expression.

"But in my eyes, Yan Fuhai's luck at that time had weakened to an extreme. If Yan Fuhai continued to make a move with that level of luck, it would probably cause a backlash from heaven and earth!"

"Backlash!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhengqing finally realized something.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

If what Ye Liuyun said is true, then it can explain why Yan Fuhai seemed to have become much more peaceful after breaking through this barrier.

It's not that I've become more at peace; it's that I have reasons that force me to be at peace.

So, were the side effects of Yan Fuhai breaking through to become a terrestrial immortal more serious than he had imagined?
",,,"

Realize this.

Although Fu Zhengqing fell silent, his eyes kept darting around, as if he was thinking about something.

after all.

All the information we have right now comes from Ye Liuyun.

How could she be sure that Ye Liuyun wasn't deceiving her?

Even if a cooperative relationship is agreed upon, you can't judge a book by its cover, and who can say for sure about such things?

"If you're unsure, why not test the waters first?"

Seeing Fu Zhengqing's expression, Ye Liuyun knew that the other party must have some suspicions.

From the very beginning, Ye Liuyun didn't think that he could gain the other party's complete trust with just a few words. It wasn't surprising; he just wanted the other party to test him.

",,,"

This time.

Fu Zhengqing did not deny it.

Fu Zhengqing is capable of controlling a rebellion, so testing the waters shouldn't be a big deal.

I hope everything is as you say!

Fu Zhengqing naturally did not want Ye Liuyun to deceive him. If Yan Fuhai's cultivation level really had a big problem, he would have a good chance to take advantage of it.

But what if I've been deceived by Ye Liuyun?

Think of this.

A hint of fierceness flashed in Fu Zhengqing's eyes. If things really came to that, he would definitely not let Ye Liuyun get away with it.

Even if it means death, I'll drag the other person down with me.

After talking for a while longer, Yan Fuhai turned and left.

Judging from their hurried pace, it was clear that they couldn't wait to find a way to test Yan Fuhai's cultivation level.

after all.

Only after receiving the accurate answer could Fu Zhengqing be completely at ease.

Only after Fu Zhengqing left did Ye Liuyun put away the expression on his face.

"It's better for people to be a little naive; being naive makes it less likely for them to be taken advantage of!"

The smarter a person is, the easier it is for them to be schemed against.

There's nothing we can do about it; smart people tend to overthink and fill in the blanks in their minds.

From the moment Fu Zhengqing entered, his long speech was nothing more than an attempt to lower my guard so he could plot against me.
But in fact.

While you're plotting against me, I'm also plotting against you.

Everyone's scheming against each other; let's see who comes out on top in the end.

,,,

Early the next morning.

When Ye Liuyun came out of the restaurant, he received news that Fu Zhengqing had already left.

"I wonder what happened to Nan Fuzhengqing. I heard he left in a hurry last night, as if something urgent had happened!"

Si Nan and the others heard the news.

They all looked puzzled.

Clearly, they didn't know what had happened to make Fu Zhengqing so eager to go back.

Ye Liuyun was able to guess it.

Fu Zhengqing is in such a hurry, he must have already figured out a way to test Yan Fuhai!
I'm kind of looking forward to it!

However, on the surface, Ye Liuyun didn't say anything, but instead asked directly.

"How is the situation in Linshui City?"

"My lord, everything has been resolved!"

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun inquire about serious matters, Si Nan and the others immediately became serious. They could joke around when necessary, but when it came to being serious, they were quite earnest.

"We interrogated them all night and found out a lot of information. Those people in the registrar's office are really corrupt. They even dared to secretly adjust the taxes set by the imperial court. They are truly fearless!"

They dare to touch this kind of thing.

They really value money more than their lives!
"For some people, money might really be more important than life!"

Ye Liuyun wasn't too surprised by this.

If they didn't dare to paint like that, how could the previous county magistrate have come up with so much money?

"Sir, should we take these people back to the Imperial Prison?"

"No need, let's just kill him on the spot!"

He has no special talents whatsoever. Even if we bring him back to the Imperial Guard's prison, it would be a waste of time. We might as well just kill him.

As for what will happen to Linshui City without a county magistrate.

There's nothing to worry about.

There's a place for every radish; if the position of county magistrate becomes vacant, someone will always fill it. The Great Qian Dynasty may not have much else, but at least it has enough people.

There's absolutely no need to worry about that!

"understand!"

,,,

really.

Just as Ye Liuyun had predicted.

A few days later, when he returned to the capital, he was greeted with many smiles as soon as he entered the Imperial Guard.

Although many people have tried to curry favor with Ye Liuyun since he became the Southern Garrison Commander, the situation back then was clearly not as exaggerated as it is now.

"This humble servant greets Your Excellency, the Garrison Commander!"

"The lord is indeed as wise and mighty as the rumors say!"

"I only ask for a chance to serve you, sir!"

",,,"

Some of the more clever ones went straight up to Ye Liuyun.

The implication is that he wants to seek an opportunity to follow Ye Liuyun.

of course.

With Si Nan and Shi Sheng intervening, Ye Liuyun didn't need to worry too much about the situation.

"Hahaha! Brother Ye, you're finally back!"

No sooner had they sat down than Lei Zheng, the Northern Garrison Commander, arrived with his men, having received the news.

"Long time no see, Brother Lei!"

Ye Liuyun then realized that it seemed he hadn't attended the morning court session for quite some time.

There's no way around it, it's just so incredibly boring.

At first, I would go out of curiosity, but after a while, it became really hard to stick to it. The worst part was having to get up early.

Tsk!
I've worked so hard to improve my skills, and I've finally gotten up, but I still have to get up early to go to work like a beast of burden.

Wouldn't all the previous efforts have been wasted?

"No, no, no! Brother Ye, please sit down."

Seeing Ye Liuyun get up, Lei Zheng quickly walked over and made Ye Liuyun sit down again.

Originally, Ye Liuyun and Lei Zheng had a good relationship because of Yue Xiu.

After learning that Ye Liuyun had become a Grandmaster, this feeling was clearly different. It's not that Lei Zheng also had any intention of currying favor with him.

After all, it would be an opportunity to meet a grandmaster.

I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to refuse.

"Is it true that Brother Ye is already a Grandmaster?"

Since it was just a rumor, Lei Zheng still wanted to hear Ye Liuyun say it with his own ears.

"It was just luck!"

Ye Liuyun smiled nonchalantly, as if he had expected it all along.

When I first demonstrated my strength, I anticipated that things would turn out this way, but I didn't care too much, let alone regret it.

I strive to cultivate myself, not so that I can constantly restrain myself or hide my true self.

While he wouldn't deliberately flaunt anything, he also wouldn't intentionally suppress his cultivation level.

If you know, you know.

Nothing to be afraid of.

It was not easy, and it was precisely because of this that Ye Liuyun had a constant source of motivation to become stronger.

"hiss!"

Ye Liuyun's answer can be considered a tacit admission.

Lei Zheng couldn't help but gasp; it was actually true.

The key is.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's nonchalant attitude, as if this were just a trivial matter, Lei Zheng was momentarily speechless, and his lips twitched involuntarily!

I really want to just curse them out.

But then I thought, after all, they are my own brothers, so I decided to just bear with it!
"Ahem, tell me honestly, is there any secret? We're all brothers, I would never tell anyone!"

There was no way around it; Ye Liuyun's cultivation speed was simply too fast.

Who doesn't want to become stronger?

Lei Zheng felt the same way; if there really was some secret, he would definitely want to try it too.

",,,"

The secret?

Does stealing someone else's talent count? But even if you say it out loud, it won't really matter to you.

"Ahem! Actually, I'm not too sure either. I just cultivated step by step, and my cultivation level broke through on its own. Maybe that's talent!"

To the end.

Ye Liuyun sighed, as if he was feeling melancholy about something.

"???"

No, you're still sighing about this?
What's wrong? Judging from your expression, you seem to really dislike this talent. Damn it, why don't I have this talent myself?

At first, Lei Zheng was skeptical.

Did Ye Liuyun cultivate some kind of shortcut magic? After all, in normal cultivation, who in their right mind could cultivate so quickly?

However, Yue Xiu immediately rejected this idea.

Although I don't know Ye Liuyun's abilities.

But Yue Xiu just felt that Ye Liuyun was not the kind of person who could cultivate demonic arts. Don't ask, just use your intuition.

However, all these military generals had great faith in General Yue Xiu's intuition.

So there was no doubt about it.

But I'm genuinely envious!
"Tsk tsk!"

After clicking his tongue twice more, Yue Xiu did not forget his main purpose for coming here.

"correct!"

talking.

Lei Zheng suddenly leaned close to Ye Liuyun's ear and whispered something.

"General Yue asked me to tell you that if you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, you can contact him!"

Yue Xiu had guessed it.

Once the news of Ye Liuyun's status as a Grandmaster spread throughout the Great Qian Dynasty...

While this would greatly enhance Ye Liuyun's reputation, trouble would also follow.

Some troubles may not even originate from the Great Qian Dynasty itself, but may also come from other dynasties.

Some dynasties might not be able to tolerate the emergence of another Grandmaster in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Assassinations are a common occurrence in this world.

"I see!"

Ye Liuyun simply smiled when asked about the relationship with General Yue, and then accepted the reply.

Ye Liuyun wasn't some arrogant genius, and besides, he quite admired General Yue's character.

"Go back and tell General Yue that I will come to the General's mansion for a drink again after this matter is over!"

"Alright! I understand! You can come to me if you need anything. Although my strength is average, there isn't a single military general in the Great Qian Dynasty that I don't know!"

To the end.

Lei Zheng also looked like he was loyal to his country, but then Ye Liuyun patted him on the shoulder.

Although his skills are average, he has a wide network of connections and can get things done.

If you really encounter something that can't be solved.

At worst, we can summon all the military generals of the entire Daqian Dynasty.

I refuse to believe that by then the problem won't be solved!
"it is good!"

Seeing Lei Zheng like this, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but laugh.

But he nodded.

I appreciate this kindness!
,,,

After Lei Zheng left, many more people arrived at Ye Liuyun's side.

But for these people...

Ye Liuyun simply signaled Si Nan and Shi Sheng to take action, which was enough to deal with them.

I don't have much time to waste on empty pleasantries with these people.

Even though Ye Liuyun rejected them, these people didn't dare to show the slightest anger on their faces. They just smiled obsequiously and said that they would come to visit again when Ye Liuyun had time.
at the same time!

Inside the palace.

At this moment, Wei Hongfang, the Ninth Prince, and his brothers Yunhu and Guanbao were standing side by side, serving Yan Fuhai.

This can also be seen from this point.

On Yan Fuhai's side, Yun Hu, Guan Bao, and Wei Hongfang are already considered to be of the same level.

Although they didn't directly suppress Wei Hongfang, it was enough to make Yun Hu and Guan Bao happy.

After all, it hasn't been that long.

I believe it won't be long before we can completely suppress Wei Hongfang!
Now, when Wei Hongfang looks at Yun Hu and Guan Bao, his eyes inevitably carry a hint of murderous intent.

I already regret taking these two brothers as my godsons. If I had known, I would have just killed them.

did not expect.

One day, he was almost being ridden on by his former godson.

This is what Wei Hongfang finds most unacceptable.

"A young grandmaster? Now it should be said that he's a young great grandmaster, you guessed right!"

Obviously.

The news that Ye Liuyun had become a Grandmaster also reached Yan Fuhai.

Looking at the intelligence report in his hand.

Although Yan Fuhai was smiling, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

If Yan Fuhai hadn't broken through to the level of a terrestrial immortal yet, he would probably call Ye Liuyun over and give him a good talking-to, just like he did when he reprimanded Fu Zhengqing.

Make them understand.

There are some levels that, even if you can break through, you still have to patiently endure them.

However, now that his cultivation level has improved, he is able to do so.

Furthermore, given the backlash from the luck, Yan Fuhai really couldn't do anything to Ye Liuyun.

"His Majesty!"

Having followed Yan Fuhai for so many years, Wei Hongfang immediately realized something when he saw Yan Fuhai remain silent.

He immediately bowed and approached Yan Fuhai.

"No matter how talented Ye Liuyun is, he is destined to be unable to escape His Majesty's grasp. Why don't we let this old servant do it?"
