Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 273 It's just that you're not doing well.
This is Ye Liuyun's side.

I was just thinking about whether I could get another red-quality talent modifier before the sacrificial ceremony.

That very evening, a message was received from the palace.

Given Ye Liuyun's current status.

As long as one presents the token of the Southern Garrison Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, one can freely enter and exit the palace without worrying about anyone blocking the way.

Unlike at the beginning, when we needed to use our lightness skills to sneak in.

"You came!"

Inside Yan Shuzhu's palace, upon seeing Ye Liuyun arrive, Yan Shuzhu smiled and stood up from her seat.

I don't know if it's because we haven't seen each other for so long.

Ye Liuyun suddenly felt that, compared to before, Yan Shuzhu had inexplicably gained a more mature air about her. When they first met, Yan Shuzhu had a somewhat naive air about her.

But now he appears exceptionally mature.

"His Majesty!"

"We don't need to be like this with each other!"

Yan Shuzhu interrupted Ye Liuyun's bow with a smile.

Lu Lan, who was standing beside Yan Shuzhu, also came over at this moment, looking at Ye Liuyun with affection in her eyes.

Because the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven was approaching, Yan Shuzhu had many things to do, which prevented Lü Lan from finding time to visit Ye Liuyun. She could only hope that the sacrificial ceremony would end and she would have more free time afterwards.

"Why did you call me over at this time? Has something happened?"

Without hesitation, Ye Liuyun directly asked the question that had been bothering him.

If nothing had happened, Yan Shuzhu definitely wouldn't have called me over at this time.

"Something did happen!"

Yan Shuzhu definitely believed in Ye Liuyun.

Otherwise, Ye Liuyun wouldn't have been called over at this time.

While talking.

Yan Shuzhu took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Ye Liuyun.

After receiving the letter, Ye Liuyun glanced through it.

With a slight, flippant brow, he wasn't surprised that Yan Shuzhu had called him over.

The letter came from Fu Zhengqing. It was very simple. Fu Zhengqing hoped that Yan Shuzhu could create favorable conditions for them to deal with Yan Fuhai.

After all.

Even if Emperor Yan Shuzhu was just a puppet, he was still ultimately convenient for the Great Qian Dynasty.

When doing certain things, it will definitely be much more convenient for them than for Fu Zhengqing and his group.

For Yan Shuzhu, it was just a personnel transfer, which was not a difficult thing.

Fu Zhengqing must have known that Yan Shuzhu also wanted to deal with Yan Fuhai, which is why he gave Yan Shuzhu such a letter. It can only be said that Yan Fuhai really doesn't have a single loyal person left in the capital.

There used to be a loyal Wei Hongfang, but now he's been schemed against and is gone too.

"This Fu Zhengqing is quite interesting!"

Ye Liuyun closed the envelope and smiled.

"On the one hand, we can borrow His Majesty's power, and on the other hand, we can also drag His Majesty into the mess. It's a good plan that kills two birds with one stone."

",,,"

Yan Shuzhu did not speak.

Yan Shuzhu clearly saw this, but she was still a little hesitant, which is why she called Ye Liuyun over.

"But isn't this a good thing?"

Lu Lan, who was standing next to the two, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"In any case, if the Emperor Emeritus is gone and the Great Qian Dynasty is completely under His Majesty's control, things will definitely get better and better!"

Lü Lan believed it.

Yan Shuzhu will definitely be a good emperor, and the Great Qian Dynasty under his rule will certainly be better than before.

As a bodyguard who has been by Yan Shuzhu's side since childhood, Lü Lan can still offer her opinion.

"Indeed, only a dead emperor emeritus is a good emperor emeritus!"

Ye Liuyun did not deny this.

Yan Fuhai's presence is indeed somewhat of a hindrance.

only.

"But a ruler is a ruler, and a subject is a subject. The reason why Fu Zhengqing sent this letter in advance is probably to prevent His Majesty from using this matter to settle scores later. More importantly..."

"If they really did kill Yan Fuhai, how can you be sure they won't become the new Yan Fuhai?"

The boy who slays the dragon will eventually become the new dragon.

The principles are similar.

"this,,"

Lu Lan hesitated. Although she had been by Yan Shuzhu's side all along, Lu Lan was not the kind of person who was good at scheming.

So after hearing Ye Liuyun's analysis.

Lu Lan was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say.

"So what should we do? Just give up?"

Not only Lü Lan, but even Yan Shuzhu couldn't help but look at Ye Liuyun.

If you miss this opportunity, you may never have another chance.

"Giving up is absolutely out of the question!"

Ye Liuyun raised his hand and stroked his chin, his gaze thoughtful.

"Yan Fuhai can die, but Fu Zhengqing and the others cannot die in the short term. With so many Grandmaster-level combatants suddenly gone, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of the other dynasties around us!"

There was never a peaceful relationship between dynasties.

With so many grandmasters gone all at once, the neighboring dynasties will probably be the first to harbor resentment and want to take action.

Ye Liuyun was confident, not that he didn't believe.

If the surrounding dynasties were to join forces and attack the Great Qian together.

Having not yet reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal, I fear I will have no choice but to lead everyone on a journey.

So what's the difference between this outcome and letting Yan Fuhai continue to live?

"hiss!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun's explanation...

Lu Lan couldn't help but gasp. The intricacies involved were far more numerous than she had imagined.

"so what should I do now?"

Both pairs of eyes turned to Ye Liuyun, as if they had already regarded Ye Liuyun as their pillar of support.

“He certainly can’t die, but being half-dead doesn’t matter. Fu Zhengqing has great ambitions, but unfortunately, his strength doesn’t match his ambitions.”

",,,"

Looking at Ye Liuyun like this.

Neither Yan Shuzhu nor Lü Lan spoke, but their eyes both held a strange glint in them.

Lü Lan simply liked it.

Yan Shuzhu, however, felt a strange flutter in her heart.

But after noticing Lü Lan's expression, Yan Shuzhu's heart gradually calmed down. No matter what, he was still the emperor of Daqian, and there were many things he couldn't do as he pleased like Lü Lan.

Ugh!
Thinking of this, Yan Shuzhu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"As for the specifics, let's wait and see when it's time to take action. Besides, that guy is a terrestrial immortal, who knows? Maybe we won't be able to beat him. In that case, I'll just have to run away with you guys!"

That's what he said, but Ye Liuyun's tone was as if he were joking, without the slightest hint of worry.

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shuzhu showed no sign of worry. Instead, she smiled and nodded at Ye Liuyun.

"I believe you!"

Yan Shuzhu felt that with Ye Liuyun around, even dangerous situations became insignificant.

,,,

As it grew late, Ye Liuyun went to rest inside the palace.

Anyway, with Yan Shuzhu's arrangements, no one will dare to gossip.

This allowed Ye Liuyun to experience what it was like to rest in the palace.

at the same time.

Fu Zhengqing, the prime minister, also received news that Ye Liuyun had entered the palace. Ye Liuyun had entered in a very open manner, which was seen by the palace guards. It was not surprising that Fu Zhengqing received the news.

"Not bad!"

Upon receiving this news, Fu Zhengqing's mood immediately improved.

He nodded with great satisfaction.

Seeing Fu Zhengqing like this, Wei Hongfang couldn't help but frown.

"What's so good about this?"

Seeing that Wei Hongfang looked completely bewildered.

Fu Zhengqing simply shook his head and said directly.

"The emperor sitting on the throne now is ultimately a bit timid. If she doesn't make any move, then I'll have to rearrange my plans. But she has now summoned Ye Liuyun into the palace."

"This shows that she's also interested in our plan. Isn't that a good thing?"

Upon hearing Fu Zhengqing's words, Wei Hongfang was taken aback at first, then nodded in agreement, acknowledging that it was indeed a good thing.

only.

To be able to analyze so many things from such a small matter.

Sure enough, those who play tricks have dirty hearts!
"So, all we need to do next is wait for the sacrificial ceremony to begin?"

Seeing Wei Hongfang ask him this question.

Fu Zhengqing was somewhat disgusted.

It's only because the opponent's late-stage Grandmaster strength is genuine that I'm somewhat reluctant to play along. This guy has absolutely no sense of strategy. He used to be able to sit in the position of the Ninth Prince.

It all comes down to his unwavering loyalty to Yan Fuhai.

"With me, General Yue, and Ye Liuyun joining forces, we should still have a good chance of dealing with a terrestrial immortal whose cultivation is problematic."

Both he and Ye Liuyun were Grandmasters.

As for General Yue Xiu, although he is only at the Grandmaster level in terms of cultivation, he once killed a mid-stage Grandmaster due to his special abilities.

Throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty, no one treated General Yue as just an ordinary grandmaster.

"what about me?"

Wei Hongfang had no objections to Fu Zhengqing's arrangements.

After all, Wei Hongfang had his own calculations.

In terms of such scheming and planning, I am indeed inferior to Fu Zhengqing. I just wonder, since you are all going to deal with Yan Fuhai, what about me? Am I just watching the show from the sidelines?

"Isn't your opponent already there all along?"

"???"

Under Wei Hongfang's slightly puzzled gaze, Fu Zhengqing smiled and said.

"It's all over the palace, isn't it? The person who's about to succeed you as the Ninth Prince, I heard he's already at the mid-stage of Grandmaster, his cultivation is really fast!"

When it comes to this level of cultivation...

Fu Zhengqing also found it unbelievable.

After leaving Wei Hongfang, the cultivation levels of Wei Hongfang's two adopted sons both increased rapidly. It's hard to say that they weren't deliberately putting on an act when they were with Wei Hongfang.

They deliberately pretend to be weak, only caring about the benefits without doing anything.

",,,"

really.

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongfang's temper was somewhat hard to control.

He clenched his fists, and several veins bulged on his forehead.

"Don't worry, leave those two ingrates to me. I'll teach them the lessons I didn't teach them before!"

The thought of Yun Hu and Guan Bao made Wei Hongfang unable to suppress his anger.

I don't care about anyone else, but those two bastards have to die!
"okay!"

Seeing Wei Hongfang like this, Fu Zhengqing had no intention of wasting any more time here.

"If there's nothing else, you can go now. You still have a few days to consolidate your cultivation, so you won't be unable to defeat your two adopted sons later."

"If you were really killed by your two godson, no one else would help you!"

Although in terms of cultivation level, Wei Hongfang, a late-stage Grandmaster, is superior to Yun Hu and Guan Bao.

However, due to his long period of pampered life, Wei Hongfang's true abilities have long been unable to be fully utilized.

In other words, he doesn't have any capable people under his command right now, otherwise he wouldn't bother with Wei Hongfang.

"Humph!"

I know what Fu Zhengqing means.

Wei Hongfang simply snorted coldly.

"You don't need to worry about my affairs. They're just two ungrateful wretches; how could they possibly be a match for our family!"

Despite saying that, Wei Hongfang turned and left immediately after saying that.

Wei Hongfang was well aware of his own situation.

It's quite possible that they might not be able to defeat the combined forces of Yunhu and Guanbao.

Wei Hongfang was unaware of what had happened to Yun Hu and Guan Bao. He simply believed that one was a mid-stage Grandmaster and the other a perfect Innate Realm cultivator, and that both had achieved their realms through genuine combat.

If we lose then, even if we eventually defeat Yan Fuhai.

I'm afraid I'll lose all face and be unable to continue living in the Great Qian Dynasty.

With this thought.

After leaving, Wei Hongfang's eyes became much more serious. He was ready to take advantage of the few days he still had to recover his strength so as not to embarrass himself later.

",,,"

As for Fu Zhengqing...

She simply watched Wei Hongfang's departing figure with a calm gaze and shook her head slightly.

I'm too lazy to waste any more time on the other person.

Anyway, after this matter is over, Wei Hongfang can do whatever he wants; it has nothing to do with me.

"Finally, the time has come!"

Looking at the moon in the sky, Fu Zhengqing said with a sigh.

He had endured for so many years in order to deal with Yan Fuhai, waiting for this opportunity. Fortunately, the opportunity had finally arrived.

As long as there are no obstacles like Yan Fuhai.

He would still be the prime minister of the Great Qian Dynasty, and no one would hinder his cultivation anymore.

"I could very well reach the level of a terrestrial immortal!"

Those who can reach the Grandmaster realm are all exceptionally talented, and none of them would not want to try to break through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

Fu Zhengqing was no exception.

I just didn't have the opportunity before, but now, naturally I want to give it a try.

,,,

the next day.

Ye Liuyun slowly awoke from inside the palace.

This resting chamber was specially arranged by Yan Shuzhu, and it's right next to Yan Shuzhu's own chamber.

Just as he woke up, Lü Lan came in carrying his toiletries.

"are you awake?"

Seeing that Ye Liuyun had woken up, Lü Lan smiled and prepared clothes for Ye Liuyun to wear.

These tasks could have been left to the palace maids, but Lü Lan was very willing to serve Ye Liuyun in doing them.

"How was it like sleeping in the palace?"

"generally!"

As he changed his clothes, Ye Liuyun pondered his answer.

It's really just average.

"Although the palace is large, it feels empty, and there's no one around!"

As he spoke, Ye Liuyun glanced at Lü Lan in front of him.

Last night I thought Lü Lan would stay with me to rest, but I didn't expect to rest alone last night.

"His Majesty has been quite busy lately!"

Seeing the meaning in Ye Liuyun's eyes, Lü Lan lowered her head and said apologetically.

However, he quickly raised his head and said seriously.

"Once this is over, I should have less to do, and then I can spend every day with you!"

As she said this, there was a hint of anticipation in Lü Lan's eyes.

Obviously.

If possible, Lü Lan also hopes that she can spend more time by Ye Liuyun's side.

"You don't need to do it every day!"

Looking at Lü Lan like this.

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

"After all, there's no one else to keep me company!"

",,,"

Lu Lan, who had been looking forward to this, frowned upon hearing this and gave Ye Liuyun a slap in annoyance.

Don't say things like that when someone is looking forward to it.

"Ignore you!"

After dressing Ye Liuyun, Lü Lan rolled her eyes at him and then turned and left.

"what!"

This girlish side of her made Ye Liuyun chuckle, and he followed Lü Lan out of the palace.

Outside the palace.

Yan Shuzhu, who was also dressed, was waiting here.

"How was your rest?"

"It's alright, but it's a bit different from what I imagined. The palace is huge, but it's just not very lively!"

There were quite a few eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, making it seem like there were many people.

But it seemed very indifferent, lacking any sense of life.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's assessment, Yan Shuzhu not only did not refute it, but also nodded in agreement.

Everyone thinks the emperor lives a good life, everyone thinks life in the palace is wonderful, but in reality, who knows the coldness within the palace?

Even the most ordinary eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial palace are full of scheming; it is the most impersonal place.

if it is possible.

Yan Shuzhu actually wished she were just a woman born into an ordinary family.

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but tease him for his sigh.

"No, it's just that you're not doing well. Yan Fuhai used to be doing quite well, didn't he?"

",,,"

I was just marveling at it.

Interrupted by Ye Liuyun, the atmosphere just now vanished without a trace.
