From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 96 Undercurrent
Leaving Kyoto?

Fan Xian was a little dazed.

I was just persuading my sister and Wuzhu to leave Kyoto, why is it my turn now?

"No, no, I can't leave Kyoto!"

Fan Xian's head shook like a rattle.

"The opponent is very strong. I'm not sure I can win." Wu Zhu said, as concise as ever.

From his point of view, Fan Xian's safety is naturally the first priority.

Before, Fan Xian already had the strength of the seventh rank, and with his own secret protection, at least his safety was no problem.

But now things have changed.

A ninth-rank upper-level person was secretly assassinated, and behind this ninth-rank upper-level person was a grandmaster.

That's a foul.

If the other party wants to harm Fan Xian, they just need to hold him back. Fan Xian will not be able to avoid the other party's assassination.

Moreover, only two people have appeared on the other side now. Who knows how many people are behind them?
Wu Zhu talked about his worries. Fan Xian was silent for a while, then suddenly shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Wu Zhu, I don't think this is right!"

"What's wrong?"

"The one who assassinated me was a ninth-rank expert, right?"

"Yes!"

"He must be very strong to be able to escape from you, right?"

"Very strong." Wu Zhu thought for a moment.

Although Mao Qiwu was pinned to the ground and beaten by him, in terms of strength, he was one of the best among the upper-level ninth-grade warriors, otherwise he would not have been able to escape his stab.

"Yes, if he's so strong, then why am I only slightly injured?" Fan Xian questioned his soul. "Don't look at my current injuries, they're quite serious. But they weren't caused by him. They were caused by the disorder of my Tyrannical True Qi. My injuries are actually minor."

"so--"

"So he didn't come here to assassinate me, but to lure you out." Fan Xian suddenly realized something and blurted out, "They want to deal with you, not me."

"No, they don't want to deal with me either." After Fan Xian mentioned this, Wu Zhu's supercomputer-like brain found a new way of analysis. He connected the dots between today's events and said, "It's that ninth-rank upper expert. He wants to make further progress, so he's looking for me as his opponent."

"Going further, he wants to become a Grandmaster?" Fan Xian was shocked and felt that his understanding of the world was somewhat shattered.

Isn't it said that there are only four great masters in this world? Including Uncle Wuzhu, there are only five.

Is this person who suddenly appeared tonight the mysterious master of Qing Kingdom?
If so, it would be fine. But if not, doesn’t that mean that in addition to the Four Greats and the Five Bamboos, there is another master hidden in Kyoto?
That would be fine, but the ninth-grade expert who assassinated him actually wanted to break through to the Grandmaster level, so he used him to lure Wu Zhu out. That was really unbelievable.

Can a ninth-rank strongman become a grandmaster by fighting with a grandmaster?
There is no doubt that this touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.

"His martial arts style is very similar to my own, so it has some reference value." Wu Zhu said, "But I can't say whether he can become a master."

Having said this, both of them fell silent.

His martial arts style is very similar to Wu Zhu's, so he came to find him.

This……

This is wrong!

Not many people know about Wuzhu's existence. Apart from the four great masters, the two standing committee members of Linhu Palace know a little more. Yingzi and the people of the Ye family may know something, but their understanding will never be so deep.

Not only did he know that he had the strength of a grandmaster, he even knew his skills and techniques, and he even came to assassinate Fan Xian specifically to hone himself.

Who the hell is this god?
Thinking of this, both of them fell silent.

Fan Xian felt heavy-hearted and looked out the window. The dark Kyoto seemed to be occupied by a huge monster that was ready to devour everything.

Changxin Palace

Li Chengqian and the eldest princess sat opposite each other, and the chess game had been completely disrupted.

The eldest princess looked unhappy. When they played chess before, Li Chengqian still gave her, a bad chess player, some face. But today was different. The chess game was full of murderous atmosphere. She felt powerless before the middle of the game and could only scatter the chess pieces to express her dissatisfaction.

"Guo Baokun and Fan Xian were assassinated at the same time within two days. The court was in chaos. How could the prince still have the leisure time to come to my Changxin Palace to play chess?" The eldest princess rolled her eyes at Li Chengqian with an extremely unfriendly tone.

Li Chengqian smiled, "Yes, the assassins from the Junshan Society are still on the way. How did these two get assassinated?"

The eldest princess's expression froze, then she smiled and said, "Junshan Society? Are you talking about the one in Jiangnan? They sent assassins to Kyoto? What do they want to do?" "Don't you know, aunt?"

"What can I, a little girl living in the deep palace, know?"

"It's best if you don't know, aunt. Just focus on managing the inner treasury. It's better for you not to know about this kind of fighting and killing." Li Chengqian stood up and said, "Kyoto is under the feet of the emperor, the best place, the Junshan Society can't get involved yet."

"Your Highness is right." The eldest princess' smile was a little stiff.

"Okay, today I just wanted to come and see my aunt because the weather is good. Chen'er is now at the Lin Mansion. Is my aunt used to it?"

"Hmph, what's there to be uncomfortable about? They are all heartless." The eldest princess felt even worse when she mentioned this.

"Aunt, if you don't like that old man Lin Ruofu, I will help you deal with him." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"You?" The princess glanced at him. "Although you are the crown prince, he is also the prime minister and is highly regarded by His Majesty. How are you going to deal with him?"

"What's so difficult about this? He has so much shit on his ass. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor still needs him and helps cover up for him, he wouldn't be able to live so carefree now. There are plenty of ways to deal with him."

The princess was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and shook her head, "Forget it. Chen'er just went there, and there are many things going on in Kyoto. It's better not to cause trouble."

"Forget it then." Li Chengqian dropped the chess piece in his hand and stood up. "Then I won't bother you anymore."

The eldest princess bowed slightly and saw him off with courtesy.

When he reached the door, Li Chengqian suddenly stopped and turned around to say, "Oh, there's one thing I forgot to tell my aunt. That old man from the Supervisory Council secretly returned to Beijing last night."

The eldest princess's expression changed and she smiled stiffly.

Supervisory House

A secret room

Chen Pingping frowned as he looked at the intelligence reports. His thin face showed a serious expression and his eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

For many years, all aspects of the affairs of Qing Kingdom, especially Kyoto, were under his control. But now, faced with the sudden situation, he was caught off guard and even unable to cope with it.

The situation is out of control!
After a while, he put down the information in his hand, leaned back in the wheelchair, closed his eyes, and in his mind, a large amount of information was disrupted and reorganized. Gradually, a rough outline appeared in his mind.

Taking advantage of the gap when Fan Jian returned to his hometown, he dealt with Emperor Qing and arranged Fan Xian's marriage. He knew exactly what Fan Jian was planning, which was naturally to let Fan Xian take over the inner treasury. This was within his expectations, but what happened next was completely off track.

The eldest prince became a grandmaster!

This is a huge matter, something that can affect the overall situation of the world.

Similarly, it can also affect the situation in Qing Kingdom.

As long as this news gets out, the eldest prince, who was originally excluded from the succession sequence due to bloodline reasons, will definitely return to the succession sequence.

Bloodline reasons will not exist.

Because, in this world, the Grandmaster represents everything, and represents the rule of an entire country by one person.

However, he was more concerned about the prince.

In order to convey a message for the crown prince, the eldest prince did not hesitate to leave the army without permission and even exposed the strength of the grandmaster in front of him. Why did he do this?
When did the relationship between the Crown Prince and the First Prince become so good? When did the Crown Prince become able to control the First Prince?

Think carefully!

Now, he understood what the prince meant by the words he wanted the eldest prince to bring.

Fan Jian is the murderer of the Queen's father. Not many people know about this, and he happens to be one of them. If this matter is exposed, the marriage will definitely not be completed, even if the Queen Mother issues an order, because Fan Jian is the Prince's biological grandfather!

What the prince meant was that you must keep this news a secret. Not only can you not tell it, but you can't tell anyone else who knows about it either.

otherwise……

Otherwise, he didn't know what would happen, because he had no idea about the relationship here.

"The incident with Guo Baokun was the work of the academy. It was probably Zhu Ge who did it, and His Majesty was probably behind it. What about Fan Xian's assassination?"

From beginning to end, it was very weird.

The most important thing is that Wuzhu did not leave any assassins behind, which is scary.

"The prince, there is only the prince!"

After thinking about it, he sighed in his heart, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes.
