Chapter 235 Fu Zhengqing's Scheme! An Assassin Arrives?
Early the next morning.

Ye Liuyun had just come out of the brothel when someone came looking for him.

"grown ups!"

The visitor was none other than Si Nan.

It seems there's something important going on. Si Nan is quite clever; as soon as he learned that Ye Liuyun wasn't at the mansion, he immediately thought of the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment venue) and came directly to find him.

He saw Ye Liuyun walking out of the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment venue).

Si Nan breathed a slight sigh of relief; he had finally found it!
"what happens?"

Upon seeing this compass, Ye Liuyun frowned slightly.

"It's the Prime Minister's side. They sent someone to invite you, sir, early this morning. I'm worried that there might be some ulterior motive behind this!"

after all.

Not long ago in Linshui City, my master and Prime Minister Fu Zhengqing had a little conflict.

Why would Fu Zhengqing send someone to find Ye Liuyun at this time? Could there be some other ulterior motive behind it?

It was Ye Liuyun.

When he heard that it was Fu Zhengqing who was looking for him, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Is this the last straw, and they're finally going to make their move?
Ye Liuyun didn't think that Fu Zhengqing would target him next. Even if he wanted to take action against him, he would have to wait until he had dealt with Yan Fuhai, the biggest obstacle, first!
This probably means they're going to take action against Yan Fuhai.

The reason they invited me was probably just to prevent me from reaping the benefits.

and.

If something unexpected happens, Fu Zhengqing could probably take advantage of the situation and push all the blame onto himself.

Ye Liuyun didn't think that someone like Fu Zhengqing would keep any secrets for him.

but.

Although I guessed Fu Zhengqing's purpose.

But Ye Liuyun's face showed no sign of worry.

It was something I had expected, so there's nothing to be surprised about.

"okay!"

Seeing Si Nan's expression, he still seemed somewhat worried.

Ye Liuyun waved his hand and then spoke directly.

"There's nothing to worry about. Even if it's a scheme, do you think I'd be afraid? You should go back now!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Seeing how relaxed Ye Liuyun appeared, Si Nan's worries dissipated considerably.

After hearing Ye Liuyun say that, he simply nodded and said nothing more.

,,,

According to the information provided by Sinan.

Ye Liuyun soon encountered Prime Minister Fu Zhengqing at the palace gate.

"It's been a long time, Prime Minister Fu!"

Looking at Fu Zhengqing, whom he hadn't seen for a while, Ye Liuyun had a relaxed and carefree smile on his face.

",,,"

Compared to Ye Liuyun, Fu Zhengqing's expression appeared somewhat indifferent.

Fu Zhengqing had no good feelings towards Ye Liuyun. He had been humiliated by Ye Liuyun several times before, and all of his originally capable subordinates had been killed because of Ye Liuyun.

It would be strange if Fu Zhengqing had feelings for Ye Liuyun.

only.

They now share a common enemy, so even though they have long harbored the idea of ​​eliminating Ye Liuyun, they will not show it directly at the moment.

Looking at Fu Zhengqing like this.

Ye Liuyun could guess what the other party was thinking, but he didn't care.

He glanced at the palace gate to the side, then looked at Fu Zhengqing beside him with a playful expression.

"I thought Prime Minister Fu would take another ten days or half a month to make a move, but I didn't expect him to be so impatient!"

"Humph!"

I know what Ye Liuyun meant by those words.

Fu Zhengqing also felt a bit anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it.

If Yan Fuhai's problems can be resolved quickly, wouldn't this great opportunity be wasted?

I hope what you're saying is true!

Just as Ye Liuyun had guessed.

Fu Zhengqing called Ye Liuyun over to ensure that, in case Ye Liuyun was lying, Fu Zhengqing would be completely innocent.

If things escalate, he can conveniently shift the blame onto Ye Liuyun.

Actually.

Fu Zhengqing thought Ye Liuyun wouldn't come, but he came so easily, which reassured Fu Zhengqing a lot.

after all.

Since Ye Liuyun dared to come, it means that there is a high probability that what he told me before was true.

If it were fake, then Ye Liuyun definitely wouldn't dare to come over, right?
"Whether it's true or not, you'll know after you test it, won't you?"

Ye Liuyun shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

It seemed as if he didn't care at all about what was going to happen next.

After taking one last look at Ye Liuyun, Fu Zhengqing strode towards the palace.

Ye Liuyun followed suit.

However, compared to Fu Zhengqing's solemn expression, Ye Liuyun seemed much more relaxed.

Ye Liuyun's original purpose in coming here.

It's all about having fun. It would be such a shame to miss such a great show.

No tokens are needed.

With their good looks, Ye Liuyun and Fu Zhengqing were able to enter the palace without any trouble from the guards.

,,,

When they met Yan Fuhai.

Fu Zhengqing's solemn and serious expression vanished instantly, replaced by a broad smile.

"Your humble servant, Fu Zhengqing, pays respects to the Emperor Emeritus!"

That ability to change one's expression is what makes him a prime minister.

"No need to be polite!"

Yan Fuhai simply waved his hand dismissively at Fu Zhengqing's bow, signaling him to stand up.

When Ye Liuyun and Fu Zhengqing entered the palace, a eunuch came to Yan Fuhai to inform him. He didn't expect that the eunuch would come to see him.

"What's matter?"

"Your Majesty, I just felt that it had been a while since I had come to pay my respects, so I thought I would come and pay my respects!"

",,,"

Do you think I'm a fool?

It would be strange if Yan Fuhai believed it.

His gaze then turned to Ye Liuyun on the other side. Yan Fuhai had not seen this newly promoted Grandmaster of the Great Qian Dynasty since the autumn hunt.

"Me too!"

Noticing Yan Fuhai's gaze, Ye Liuyun cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Anyway, I was summoned by Fu Zhengqing, so whatever reason Fu Zhengqing gave, that's my reason too.

Done.

His gaze then swept over Yun Hu and Guan Bao, who were standing next to Yan Fuhai.

Sure enough, Wei Hongfang got fired!

It was that look in his eyes that made Yunhu and Guanbao shudder. They had no choice, because not long ago they had told Yan Fuhai that they had properly taught Ye Liuyun the rules of the palace.

The main reason is that the two brothers felt that Ye Liuyun and Yan Fuhai would hardly have any interaction.

But unexpectedly, not long after all, Ye Liuyun came directly to the palace, afraid that he might say something wrong and be noticed by Yan Fuhai.

This would be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Not to mention that the achievements the two brothers have worked so hard for so long will all vanish in an instant.

More likely, they might even lose their lives.

Fortunately.

There seemed to be no problem at the moment, which reassured Yunhu and Guanbao considerably.

,,,

"It suddenly occurred to me that our achievements today are inseparable from the Emperor Emeritus's injuries. Now that the Emperor Emeritus is living deep in the palace, I have rarely come to visit him. This is truly my oversight!"

On Fu Zhengqing's side.

He still maintained a deeply affectionate demeanor as he spoke to Yan Fuhai.

"Me too!"

Ye Liuyun, who was standing to the side, chimed in with a comment.

I really don't know how to say it.

"Your Majesty, I recall those days when I served you. Those were the happiest times of my life!"

"Me too!"

"Your humble servant..."

Fu Zhengqing was at a loss for words.

The expression she was trying so hard to maintain was starting to crumble, and she glared at Ye Liuyun beside her with annoyance.

Same as what?! What business is it of yours? You weren't even a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard back then!
Facing Fu Zhengqing's gaze, Ye Liuyun shrugged casually.

You're the one who called me here.

I can't expect to come up with an explanation myself!

"Alright! Alright!"

Yan Fuhai didn't dwell on this matter too much.

He waved his hand dismissively, interrupting Fu Zhengqing who was about to speak.

Regardless of Fu Zhengqing's purpose or whether his words were sincere or not, Yan Fuhai didn't care.

As for Ye Liuyun, Yan Fuhai assumed that he had just been reprimanded for his behavior and that's why he wanted to pay a visit, which made Yan Fuhai even more satisfied.

What kind of child prodigy?

Before them, wouldn't they obediently bow down and submit?
Moreover, Yan Fuhai's words just now really made him reminisce about the time when he had just ascended the throne, which was probably the most triumphant time of his life!
"Time flies, so many years have passed!"

"I am getting old now, and I get tired from time to time. If there's nothing else to paint, you may all go back now!"

If there's nothing serious going on.

Yan Fuhai preferred to stay in his palace and recover from his injuries.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to discuss!"

I knew it was almost time.

Fu Zhengqing stopped pretending and his expression immediately became serious.

"Ok?"

Hearing that it was something important, Yan Fuhai became somewhat interested.

He waved his hand, indicating that Fu Zhengqing could speak freely about whatever he wanted to say.

"Is such that!"

Fu Zhengqing had rehearsed this line many times while he was at his residence.

Therefore, I believe there won't be any problems.

"Does the Emperor Emeritus still remember the Clear Water Pavilion?"

"Ok?"

Not only Yan Fuhai, but even Ye Liuyun, who was standing to the side, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked over.

Suddenly, the name Qingshui Pavilion came up.

Could it be that Fu Zhengqing knows something?

"Qingshui Pavilion!"

Yan Fuhai's gaze lingered in reminiscence, as if he were thinking of that extraordinary woman from back then. It was a pity that such an extraordinary woman ultimately refused to submit to him and died just like that.

Even after so many years.

Looking back on it again, Yan Fuhai still feels incredibly regretful.

As his thoughts gradually returned to normal, Yan Fuhai realized that so many years had passed, and he wouldn't dwell too much on the past. He then looked at Fu Zhengqing.

"Is there a problem with suddenly bringing up Qingshui Pavilion?" "Although the former head of Qingshui Pavilion is dead, the members of Qingshui Pavilion escaped from Daqian. I have received news that these people have probably returned to seek revenge for what happened back then!"

Ye Liuyun remained outwardly calm.

But I was genuinely curious.

Is this just a reason Fu Zhengqing came up with randomly, or does he actually know something? This is getting interesting.

Sure enough, we should watch this show.

"revenge?"

That's not surprising.

Back then, Liu Qingqing was exceptionally talented and kind to others. Everyone else in Qingshui Pavilion was extremely loyal to her, and she even risked her life in exchange.

Yan Fuhai then let the others from Qingshui Pavilion go.

It's understandable that these people would want to avenge Liu Qingqing!
only.

Once Yan Fuhai understood, he smiled contemptuously!
"A bunch of ants who have survived, do they even deserve to seek revenge against me?"

Let alone back then when Yan Fuhai was just a Grandmaster, now he's already a terrestrial immortal. Would he worry about the revenge of a bunch of ants?

It's simply impossible.

Fu Zhengqing had obviously anticipated Yan Fuhai's reaction and quickly continued.

"We must be on guard. This group has waited so many years to think about revenge. They must have been planning this all along and must have made some preparations."

Even though Fu Zhengqing made the matter sound very serious.

But Yan Fuhai still seemed unconcerned, waving his hand dismissively.

"Alright, in short, I am right here in this palace. If they have the guts, let them come and seek revenge on me here!"

Instead of worrying all day about whether these people will seek revenge, it's better to focus on recovering from my injuries.

Yan Fuhai didn't take these things to heart at all.

"However, if this group of people infiltrates the palace, there's no guarantee that some trouble won't arise. It's best to be on guard!"

In this case.

Yan Fuhai didn't react much.

Yunhu and Guanbao, however, frowned in displeasure upon hearing this.

"Lord Fu, you're going a bit too far! With my brother and I guarding the palace, what problems could possibly arise!"

"that is!"

Guan Bao, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement and continued Yun Hu's words.

“They’re just a few petty thieves. With the two of us brothers here, they don’t even have the ability to sneak into the palace.”

"Does Lord Fu mean he doubts our abilities?"

Even if Fu Zhengqing is a Grandmaster.

But the two brothers had just gotten rid of Wei Hongfang and were now riding high on their success; how could they possibly listen to such words?

Isn't this blatantly questioning their abilities in front of Yan Fuhai?

",,,"

Just a pity.

When facing Yan Fuhai, what could Fu Zhengqing possibly say?

However, when facing the brothers Yunhu and Guanbao, Fu Zhengqing merely glanced at them indifferently, not even bothering to give them a second look, let alone intending to argue with them.

Maybe I feel that.

The brothers Yunhu and Guanbao only got to their current positions through a bit of luck and their ability to flatter.

They have no right to talk to themselves!

"you!"

Such a contemptuous performance.

This also clearly stirred up some anger in Yunhu and Guanbao's hearts.

Especially Guan Bao.

These past few days, I've already been inexplicably irritable, and now seeing Fu Zhengqing like this, how could I possibly stand it?

He pointed at Fu Zhengqing, looking as if he was about to take action at any moment.

have to say.

One who is born with perfect innate abilities, dares to challenge grandmasters, and is slow to react but brave.

Fortunately, Yunhu reacted in time and stopped him.

Good heavens, Yunhu never expected that his third brother would become so brave. He could only argue with Fu Zhengqing for a bit, but judging from Guan Bao's appearance, it seemed that he was really planning to take action.

Although they were stopped.

But Guan Bao couldn't help but mutter a couple of things.

So what if he's a Grandmaster? What's the big deal? I'm not afraid at all.

"His Majesty!"

Yunhu didn't continue arguing with Fu Zhengqing, but simply turned around.

He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, looked at Yan Fuhai, and spoke earnestly to him.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, with my brother and I inside the palace, we will never allow that thief to break in so easily!"

"Ok!"

Hear this.

Yan Fuhai nodded with satisfaction, showing that he was quite pleased with Yun Hu.

Yunhu originally intended to take advantage of this opportunity.

Let me say a few more words to express my loyalty.

But what I didn't expect was.

"Yan Fuhai! Give me back the Master of Qingshui Pavilion!"

A figure dressed in black suddenly climbed over the wall and came in.

A dagger was thrown swiftly, pointing directly at Yan Fuhai!

"!!!"

The sudden turn of events clearly startled everyone in the courtyard.

Yunhu and Guanbao, in particular, turned pale immediately.

I just said that I would never allow any assassins to infiltrate the palace, but now, the assassins have come knocking on my door.

"Do it!"

Yunhu quickly called out to Guan Bao.

Then they attacked together, blocking the assassin's flying projectile.

",,,"

At the same time, Yan Fuhai's face also changed. Perhaps he never expected that the group of ants who survived back then would actually dare to seek revenge on him!
"You dog emperor! Die!"

"I will avenge Qingshui Pavilion!"

at the same time.

Many more voices came from the same group of men dressed in black, who rushed towards Yan Fuhai, shouting.

These people are basically only at the acquired level, not the innate level; none of them are grandmasters.

With Yunhu and Guanbao's strength, there is clearly no problem.

Yan Fuhai remained seated steadily, but his expression was extremely unpleasant.

No matter when, it's never a pleasant experience to have someone come knocking on your door to assassinate you.

Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel an urge to complain when he saw this scene.

No, let's say someone who is assassinating another person shouts loudly and identifies themselves.

It's as if you're eager for people to know who you are.

Is this a TV drama?

Ye Liuyun then glanced at Fu Zhengqing beside him.

Anyone with a brain could guess that today's events are absolutely related to Fu Zhengqing.

They're really bold.

He only kicked her once, and Fu Zhengqing actually dared to plan a test. It can only be said that Fu Zhengqing must be really frustrated to be stuck at the early stage of Grandmaster for so many years and unable to continue cultivating.

He probably wanted to get rid of Yan Fuhai a long time ago.

At this time, Fu Zhengqing...

He didn't show any problem on his face; instead, he still looked anxious.

It seemed that she was genuinely anxious and worried because of Yan Fuhai's assassination attempt.

"You audacious assassin, with me here, don't even think about harming the Emperor Emeritus!"

talking.

Fu Zhengqing immediately stepped in to protect Yan Fuhai.

And if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen at this time.

"Rockfall!"

A cold voice came.

The ground beneath Fu Zhengqing's feet instantly cracked, bursting forth like a shower of petals, with countless fragments flying towards Fu Zhengqing.

Moreover, its power was considerable; even Fu Zhengqing, a Grandmaster, had to dodge it.

"Ok?"

This sudden turn of events even made Yan Fuhai look over.

If Yan Fuhai hadn't paid any attention to the assassins just moments before, he became noticeably more concerned when he saw this particular assassin.

"Warlock?"

Yan Fuhai naturally recognized the methods of such a sorcerer.

After taking a closer look, their faces darkened.

"A third-rank sorcerer!"

No wonder that technique forced Fu Zhengqing to retreat; a third-rank sorcerer is essentially a grandmaster.

Moreover, the third-rank sorcerer before them possessed a steady aura, suggesting that he had been immersed in this stage for many years.

did not expect.

Among those who survived in the Clear Water Pavilion back then, some actually cultivated to the level of a third-grade sorcerer. No wonder they dared to seek revenge on me.

That's right.

Yan Fuhai naturally regarded this third-rank sorcerer as one of the people from Qingshui Pavilion back then.

It was Ye Liuyun.

He raised an eyebrow as he watched the third-rank sorcerer fighting with Fu Zhengqing.

Looks so familiar!

Ye Liuyun didn't recognize the face, but the spells he used looked incredibly familiar.

Many of these are things I've seen in Shu Fan before.

In addition, there's the strength of a third-rank sorcerer.

The sect leader of the Illusionary Sound Sect?
Didn't you say you were leaving Daqian? Why are you back?

Shu Fan suddenly left Daqian a few days ago, so Ye Liuyun really doesn't know much about the aftermath of the Huanyin Sect.

But I suppose it must be because of Fu Zhengqing.

Others don't know.

But Ye Liuyun now knows the relationship between Fu Zhengqing and the Huanyin Sect.

But looking at the murderous intent that the sect leader of the Illusionary Sound Sect could not hide in his moves, it seemed that every move was clearly aimed at taking Fu Zhengqing's life.

It's likely that there's some personal grudge involved.

Fu Zhengqing had obviously noticed this as well.

However, this actually aligned with Fu Zhengqing's expectations.

"As long as I, Fu Zhengqing, am here, you will not be able to harm the Emperor Emeritus!"

"The fire burns my heart!"

The sect leader of the Illusionary Sound Sect didn't say much, showing no intention of responding to Fu Zhengqing, and simply coldly cast spells.

Every move he made was filled with murderous intent towards Fu Zhengqing.

Perhaps they also felt that if they could take this opportunity to kill Fu Zhengqing, that would be quite a good thing!
Yan Fuhai, who was being protected behind him, was quite satisfied to see Fu Zhengqing's loyalty.

If Fu Zhengqing could address himself as "Your Majesty" instead of "Emperor Emeritus," that would be even better!

damn it!
Yan Fuhai had no intention of remaining an emperor emeritus. Once the backlash subsided, he was determined to regain control of the imperial power as soon as possible.
