Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 237 It's really tough out there! Everything is ready.

at the same time.

This is Ye Liuyun's side.

Not long after leaving the palace with Fu Zhengqing, they hadn't walked far when they saw the sect leader of the Huanyin Sect waiting there.

Upon seeing the other person, Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow slightly.

That's really bold.

Are you just going to wait here? Upon seeing the other party, Fu Zhengqing was clearly taken aback, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

If Yan Fuhai finds out that I met with assassins shortly after leaving the palace, wouldn't that be tantamount to telling Yan Fuhai that the assassins who just carried out the assassination were the ones I hired?
"Are you crazy?"

He immediately gave a low, harsh reprimand.

"Don't worry, I've set up an illusion around here beforehand!"

Knowing what Fu Zhengqing was worried about, the other party simply said something in a calm tone.

His gaze swept over Ye Liuyun before settling on Fu Zhengqing.

"Remember the conditions you promised me!"

"rest assured!"

Knowing what the other party wanted, Fu Zhengqing didn't beat around the bush and agreed directly.

"From this day forward, the Illusionary Sound Sect and I will have no further connection. Your Illusionary Sound Sect is free to develop its strength within the Great Qian Dynasty. Of course, if any other sects want to target you, that has nothing to do with me!"

When Fu Zhengqing said this, he still felt a little sorry for her.

The Illusionary Sound Sect can be said to have been cultivated by Fu Zhengqing.

It was unexpected that the sect leader of the Illusionary Sound Sect, who was only a fifth-rank sorcerer back then, would one day become a third-rank sorcerer.

As one's cultivation level increases, one's heart naturally begins to yearn for freedom and no longer wants to be controlled by others.

Being able to use the Illusionary Sound Sect to test Yan Fuhai's situation is not a bad deal.

"Don't worry about it!"

He sensed the threat in Fu Zhengqing's words.

The sect leader of the Illusionary Sound Sect simply replied indifferently that when the Illusionary Sound Sect had not yet grown up, it was indeed because of Fu Zhengqing's connections that the sect was prevented from being coveted by other sect masters.

And now.

As a dignified third-rank sorcerer, how could I not even protect my own sect?

Since Fu Zhengqing had already agreed, the sect leader of the Huanyin Sect no longer intended to stay and feign compliance with Fu Zhengqing.

He simply watched Fu Zhengqing with a cold eye.

After glancing at Ye Liuyun one last time, his figure gradually became illusory until he completely disappeared from Ye Liuyun and Fu Zhengqing's sight.

"So this is what a warlock is like? Their way of leaving is certainly unusual!"

Although his Phantom Ninefold Body combined with his exceptional lightness skill allowed him to achieve this level of skill.

But one is a martial artist's lightness skill, and the other is a sorcerer's illusion; they are ultimately different.

"It's just a little trick!"

Fu Zhengqing appeared casual.

Fu Zhengqing could also create such an illusion, but as a sorcerer, he wouldn't casually show it off in front of others!
"I never imagined that Lord Fu had any connection with the Illusionary Sound Sect!"

Ye Liuyun directly pointed out the name of the Illusionary Sound Sect.

Fu Zhengqing didn't care.

Since they dared to say it directly to Ye Liuyun's face, they were naturally not afraid that Ye Liuyun would spread the news.

"Didn't you already know that?"

After learning about Ye Liuyun's powerful talent, Fu Zhengqing no longer underestimated Ye Liuyun.

in fact.

Many things that I couldn't understand before became clear as soon as I thought of Ye Liuyun.

He may seem reckless and impetuous, but his cunning is no less than anyone else's.

Fu Zhengqing could imagine that when Ye Liuyun told him about Yan Fuhai's problems in Linshui City, he probably had ulterior motives and wanted to use him to deal with Yan Fuhai.

This is tantamount to a calculated move.

After all, Fu Zhengqing really wanted to get rid of Yan Fuhai.

Therefore, even though he knew Ye Liuyun was using him, Fu Zhengqing still wanted to give it a try. Fortunately, judging from the current situation, Ye Liuyun was not deceiving him, and there was indeed a problem with Yan Fuhai.

"what!"

I heard Fu Zhengqing say this.

Ye Liuyun didn't explain anything, but instead let out a sneer.

He did not deny knowing about the Illusionary Sound Sect.

"I just heard that the Illusionary Sound Sect left the Great Qian Dynasty, didn't it? I didn't expect Lord Fu to be able to bring them back?"

Ye Liuyun had heard about it from Shu Fan.

It seems that the Illusionary Sound Sect has left the Great Qian Dynasty, supposedly to develop in the Glazed Dynasty, since that is where there are the most sorcerers in the world.

"Ha! It's not that easy!"

Obviously.

Fu Zhengqing also knew that the Huanyin Sect was going to leave the Great Qian Dynasty.

But the smile on his face became even more disdainful.

"The Glazed Dynasty has many sorcerer sects, but without exception, all of them have been established for a long time. For the Illusionary Sound Sect to try to integrate into them is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth!"

"There's only so much stuff. Adding another sect means adding more money to the pieces. Isn't it only natural that the Illusionary Sound Sect will be marginalized?"

Actually, when I think about it this way...

It's a very simple principle.

The current Illusionary Sound Sect is not a third-rate sect, especially since its sect leader is a third-rank sorcerer.

As long as the sorcerers of the Glazed Dynasty aren't fools, they'll all realize it.

This is a dragon that has crossed the river.

If the Illusionary Sound Sect were to truly develop within the Glazed Dynasty, wouldn't the resources available to other sects be divided among them?
Therefore, these sects naturally chose to join forces to exclude the Illusionary Sound Sect.

Faced with such a situation.

The Illusionary Sound Sect doesn't have many options.

Alternatively, you can just wait it out and maybe after ten or twenty years you'll be able to integrate successfully, but that takes too long.

Alternatively, they could join the royal family of the Liuli Dynasty and serve the court.

With the protection of the imperial court, no other sects would covet it.

However, the Illusionary Sound Sect would also be subject to the control of the royal family of the Glazed Dynasty.

The reason I chose to leave Daqian was because I didn't want to be controlled by Fu Zhengqing. But after leaving, I still have to be controlled by others. It would have been better if I hadn't left.

As for the final choice.

Naturally, returning to the Great Qian Dynasty, one's own territory, would make development much smoother.

So, unsurprisingly, the Illusionary Sound Sect returned.

In order to completely sever ties with Fu Zhengqing.

The sect leader of the Illusionary Sound Sect agreed to Fu Zhengqing's conditions and made a move only to get rid of Fu Zhengqing completely.

"I see!"

After listening to Fu Zhengqing's explanation.

Ye Liuyun had roughly figured out the intricacies of the situation and nodded in understanding.

really.

The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships and social interactions.

"All right!"

Fu Zhengqing didn't intend to say much more about the Huanyin Sect.

He turned around and looked directly at Ye Liuyun.

"Since we share the same goal, we can definitely cooperate, can't we? As long as Yan Fuhai is dealt with, I am willing to support Yan Shuzhu in becoming the emperor of Daqian. In return, I will help Yan Shuzhu to firmly establish himself. What do you say?"

In Fu Zhengqing's view.

Since Ye Liuyun is Yan Shuzhu's person, then what I said must be useful.

not to mention.

For Fu Zhengqing...

It doesn't really matter who becomes the emperor. As long as I can use the cultivation resources of the Great Qian Dynasty to make further progress in my cultivation, that's enough!
"Since you've put it that way, I don't think I have any reason to refuse!"

Looking at Fu Zhengqing like this.

Ye Liuyun suddenly smiled.

Their current goals are indeed aligned, but whether they will remain aligned after Yan Fuhai is gone is unknown.

As for what Fu Zhengqing said.

Support Yan Shuzhu in securing the throne.

Just listen to these words; whoever takes them seriously loses!
Of course.

Even if you know it in your heart.

But Ye Liuyun would never show this on the surface; instead, he would appear to believe it to be true.

"Then when does Lord Fu plan to make his move?"

Ye Liuyun agreed.

Fu Zhengqing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether Ye Liuyun was deceiving him or not, as long as Ye Liuyun was willing to join him when dealing with Fu Zhengqing, that would be enough.

They definitely couldn't defeat a true land-based deity.

But if it's just dealing with a problematic land deity, is there really no chance at all?
Think of this.

Fu Zhengqing couldn't help but clench his fists, perhaps feeling that it was just around the corner, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement.

Fortunately, despite the excitement...

However, Fu Zhengqing would not lose his rationality because of this.

After adjusting her breathing slightly, she quickly regained her composure.

He looked at Ye Liuyun with a serious expression and said.

"Not now, I need to prepare!"

He is a cautious person by nature.

Therefore, Fu Zhengqing would naturally not act rashly.

"Prepare?"

Ye Liuyun looked at Fu Zhengqing with curiosity.

"Within this Great Qian Dynasty, we are not the only ones who want to deal with Yan Fuhai!"

As he said this, Fu Zhengqing seemed to have thought of something, and a smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As the prime minister of the Great Qian Dynasty, Fu Zhengqing had already been an official in the Great Qian Dynasty before Yan Fuhai became emperor, and he was quite familiar with many things about Yan Fuhai.

Fu Zhengqing was well aware of the people who secretly harbored resentment towards Yan Fuhai.

One or two, maybe it doesn't matter.

But if there are more people, the situation is obviously different!
"In that case, we'll leave this matter to Lord Fu!"

Ye Liuyun had no intention of pressing the issue further, seeing Fu Zhengqing's confidence.

After shrugging, Ye Liuyun naturally handed over all the matters to Fu Zhengqing.

Aren't you awesome?
Then I'll leave everything to you!
"Row!"

Fu Zhengqing naturally did not refuse.

Or rather, if he didn't do these things himself, Fu Zhengqing would worry that there might be some problems.

After saying a few more words.

Fu Zhengqing did not linger and left immediately.

It seems like they can't wait to contact those people!

"Tsk tsk!"

Looking at Fu Zhengqing's back, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

"Looks like someone's about to be in big trouble!"

If you think about it, you're actually not at a disadvantage in this matter.

If successful, all the attributes on Yan Fuhai would be his own. Of course, Ye Liuyun definitely didn't want the backlash from the luck.

But Ye Liuyun had been eyeing the red labels on Yan Fuhai for a long time.

It doesn’t matter if you fail.

Conversely, the talent attributes of people like Fu Zhengqing would all belong to them.

Although it's not red, it's still of gold quality. Stack up these talent stats.

However, breaking through directly to the late stage of Grandmaster should definitely not be a problem at all, right?

Simply put.

You might make a small profit, but I'll never lose out!
Thinking this, Ye Liuyun smiled slightly and turned to leave as well.

Fu Zhengqing naturally wouldn't completely trust Ye Liuyun, in case Ye Liuyun chose to stand by and watch, reaping the benefits without lifting a finger.

Even if you get rid of Yan Fuhai, what's the point if you lose your own life?

and so.

To avoid such an unexpected situation, Fu Zhengqing naturally planned to make proper preparations.

But it's uncertain when Yan Fuhai's problems will heal, so it's a dilemma—both anxious and trying to restrain oneself from being too hasty!
,,,

Compared to the plans of Ye Liuyun and Fu Zhengqing.

Really unlucky.

Actually, it's still the same old "Nine Thousand Years Old" Wei Hongfang on his side!

"A bunch of snobbish bastards! Our family is truly a fallen tiger, bullied by dogs!"

Inside the mansion.

With a gloomy expression, Wei Hongfang smashed his favorite vase. The shards that flew everywhere were, in a sense, very similar to Wei Hongfang's current state.

These days.

Wei Hongfang did try; back when he was still a high-ranking official, he had built up a considerable network of connections for himself.

He originally thought that with these connections, even if he couldn't regain his status as the Ninth Prince for a while, returning to officialdom shouldn't be too difficult.

If only there were a chance to get close to Yan Fuhai, instead of being unable to even enter the palace as things are now.

Wei Hongfang believed it.

I still have a chance to sit back in the position of the Ninth Prince.

But the result is obvious.

It failed.

The way things unfolded was completely different from what Wei Hongfang had anticipated.

Those so-called connections, who once seemed like a group of people to me, now, when I try to reach out to them, they all say they're not familiar with me and have no connection.

In some places, Wei Hongfang was even kicked out.

When has Wei Hongfang ever been treated with such contempt?

That is to say, they were able to maintain their composure; otherwise, they would have taken direct action.

But even so.

Back at his residence, Wei Hongfang was still furious.

"Just wait, once I'm back by my master's side, I won't let any of you get away with this!"

He's not the type to start fights.

I'll remember this grudge, and when I turn my life around, I'll definitely get my revenge on them all.

It can be said.

At this time, Wei Hongfang still had a lot of confidence in Yan Fuhai, after all, he had followed him for so many years.

Thinking to myself.

It's just that Yan Fuhai is too angry right now. After a while, when his anger subsides, he will summon me back to the palace, and the position of the Ninth Prince will still belong to me.

As for the brothers Yunhu and Guanbao, they were ultimately too young.

How could Yan Fuhai possibly give them important positions while truly abandoning himself?

Think of this.

Wei Hongfang's gloomy mood had clearly dissipated considerably, and his expression had softened a lot.

"call!"

He exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Wei Hongfang was thinking of seeing if there was any other way to get back to the palace as soon as possible.

Although she believed in her heart that Yan Fuhai would definitely summon her back to the palace.

But if I can go back sooner and get my job back sooner, that would be the best outcome.

Wei Hongfang had had enough of being looked down upon.

"Master! Master!"

at this time.

A servant from the manor rushed in, looking flustered.

Seeing their hurried and flustered appearance, Wei Hongfang couldn't help but frown. There had been enough bad news lately, and Wei Hongfang really didn't want to hear any more.

He slammed his hand on the armrest of the table and chair and scolded.

"Enough! What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and panicked? Has no one taught you the rules of this mansion?"

"Master, spare me! Master, spare me!"

These words clearly startled the other party.

He immediately knelt on the ground and kept begging Wei Hongfang for mercy.

Wei Hongfang clearly had no intention of saying anything more to the servant about this matter, and simply waved his hand, saying in an annoyed tone.

"Alright, spit it out. I don't have time to waste on you!"

"Yes Yes!"

The servants nodded repeatedly.

He said it in a trembling voice.

"A royal decree! My lord, a royal decree has arrived from the palace!"

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongfang immediately became restless and stood up.

As if he had just thought of something, his eyes were filled with undisguised joy.

An imperial edict from the palace?
Could it be that his master has summoned him back to the palace? Wei Hongfang couldn't think of any other possibility.

After realizing this.

The joy in Wei Hongfang's eyes was almost overflowing.

"Great!"

"I knew it! I knew it!"

"Hahahaha!"

The opportunity has arrived; I've finally turned my life around.

Sure enough, how could those two brats, Yunhu and Guanbao, possibly replace him in Yan Fuhai's heart?

It must be because without me these past two days, things in the palace have been in chaos, and many things are not being done well. That's why Yan Fuhai realized my usefulness and directly summoned me back to the palace.

have to say.

Wei Hongfang's fantasy was truly wonderful.

His face was all wrinkled from laughing.

"Let's go! Come with me to receive the imperial decree!"

Impatient, Wei Hongfang, after realizing what was happening, did not hesitate at all and led the servants of the mansion to the front yard.

,,,

The eunuch in charge of announcing the imperial decree was a palace eunuch.

These eunuchs used to follow the lead of Wei Hongfang, the "Nine Thousand Years Old".

same.

Most eunuchs have a tendency to fawn over the powerful and trample on the weak. When you are powerful, they will flatter you, but once you fall from grace, they will be the first to turn their backs on you.

Just like it is now.

Looking at the once high and mighty Ninth Prince.

The eunuch in charge of announcing the imperial decree wore a clearly fake smile, and his tone was full of sarcasm and mockery.

"It's been a long time! Your Majesty is still as dashing as ever!"

Say so.

But the sarcasm in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Normally, Wei Hongfang would have noticed such an obvious change in emotion at a glance.

But Wei Hongfang was completely immersed in the joy of being able to return to the palace and didn't pay attention to anything else. Before the other party could say anything more, he waved his hand and said directly.

"Stop talking nonsense and announce the decree!"

Wei Hongfang couldn't wait to receive the imperial decree, express his gratitude, and then return to the palace!
",,,"

This is the first time I've seen someone deliberately asking for a beating.

never mind!

The eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict didn't dawdle. He cleared his throat and opened the edict in his hand.

"It is destined to be carried by heaven, the emperor decreed."

Although he was no longer the emperor, but the retired emperor.

But when Yan Fuhai wanted to issue an imperial edict, even Yan Shuzhu couldn't do anything about it.

Wei Hongfang, who had been beaming with joy, froze completely after hearing the details of the imperial edict.

"Your Excellency Wei Hongfang is incompetent and immoral, has neglected his duties, and failed in his duties, thus betraying the Emperor's grace. His crimes are unforgivable. However, considering our past relationship, he is pardoned from the death penalty, demoted to a commoner, and all his rewards are revoked. This is the imperial decree!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

When I heard the last two words.

Wei Hongfang could no longer hold back and stood up abruptly, his face full of anger.

"How dare you falsely convey an imperial edict!"

Wei Hongfang didn't believe the imperial edict was real.

His aura as a Grandmaster unconsciously emanated from him.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial decree initially looked down on him, but after sensing Wei Hongfang's aura as a Grandmaster, his face instantly turned pale.

Even without the title of "Nine Thousand Years Old".

But Wei Hongfang's Grandmaster-level cultivation is no joke.

These eunuchs still couldn't handle it.

Even though he hadn't fought in a long time and his actual strength had declined considerably, dealing with these eunuchs would still be a piece of cake.

"No, no! Lord Wei, how could I dare to forge an imperial edict? That would be a matter of losing my head!"

talking.

He quickly handed the imperial edict to the other party.

"If Lord Wei doesn't believe it, he can see for himself."

"This is an imperial edict written by the master himself!"

",,,"

Wei Hongfang was still somewhat skeptical.

But after seeing this, he paused for a moment, then snatched the imperial edict from the other party's hand and began to examine it carefully.

",,,"

He had been by Yan Fuhai's side for so many years.

Wei Hongfang could still recognize Yan Fuhai's handwriting.

The imperial edict is genuine.

Wei Hongfang fell completely silent.

why!
He couldn't understand it at all. He had followed Yan Fuhai for so long and done his job conscientiously. It could be said that for Yan Fuhai's sake, Wei Hongfang had offended many officials of the Great Qian Dynasty.

But even so.

Yan Fuhai still kicked him aside without any hesitation, showing no regard for past feelings.

The imperial edict was snatched and held tightly in Wei Hongfang's hands.

His eyes turned bloodshot as a result.

"Wei, Mr. Wei!"

Seeing Wei Hongfang like this, the eunuch delivering the imperial decree dared not utter any more sarcastic remarks.

What if we really provoke Wei Hongfang into making a move?

That's not something I can handle on my own.

They might even lose their lives!
"I was just doing my duty. This imperial edict was written by our master; it has nothing to do with servants like us!"
