Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 119: Bloodbath at Baoyue Tower
"To alienate me and Fan Xian?"

Leng Feibai gritted his teeth, cursed the old loach for being useless, and continued reading.

Eunuch Hou was puzzled when he heard this. "Your Majesty, I don't know that. After all, Master Leng regards Master Fan as a taboo. Even Dean Chen can't do anything to break them up."

After hearing this, Emperor Qing said nothing, but a malicious look flashed in his eyes.

"As long as he's by Fan Xian's side, there's no way Fan Xian will become a lone minister. But if I really have to deal with him, I won't be able to explain it to Mum."

After the Emperor finished speaking, he dropped the book in his hand and said, "I might as well grant him a concubine to keep him at home. This will not only keep him from interfering in Fan Xian's affairs, but also allow us to better monitor him."

After hearing this, Eunuch Hou quickly said, "Your Majesty, although Leng Feibai has the status of a guest official, he is not much different from a commoner. Let the noble lady of Kyoto..."

"Who said we have to choose a noble lady from Kyoto?"

Emperor Qing straightened up and said, "Eunuch Hou, go find Chen Pingping and work with him to select a few young and beautiful courtesans from his Chen Garden to bring into the palace. I want to carefully select a concubine for Leng Feibai."

"This nosy old loach."

Leng Feibai was so angry that he almost jumped up, "I don't need you to build a harem for me, you are sick, right?"

Thinking of this, Leng Feibai once again activated Fenghou Qimen to inquire about the time when Emperor Qing would choose a concubine for him.

"Three days later!"

Leng Feibai rubbed his head angrily, "Alright, I'll see who you choose for me. If you want to put a thorn in my side, I'll make you mine! But I still need to tell Duoduo about this matter."

Leng Feibai made up his mind and without bothering to continue practicing, he left the Twelve-story Tower and returned to the outside world.

Kyoto at night, near the Liujing River in the west of the city.

Just as Fan Sizhe said, the good locations around Liujing River have been occupied by the old brothels in Kyoto, so Baoyuelou can only choose a location near the edge of Liujing River to open a store.

Baoyue Tower is divided into three parts: the front hall, the middle building and the backyard.

Those unfortunate women who were forced to join Baoyue Tower were imprisoned in the backyard.

Some of the women who had surrendered had been moved to the middle building.

In the alley near Liujing River, two clones with changed appearances gathered here, conspiring and discussing tonight's actions through telepathy. The third clone was in the form of a bird, watching the situation in Baoyue Tower.

One of the sword-wielding clones transmitted a cold voice, "We've checked everything out. Yuan Meng and his lackeys are all in the central hall of Baoyue Tower, with Yuan Meng on the third floor. And those lackeys are sleeping on the first floor of the middle building! Leave these people to me! As for you, one of you will be responsible for finding the indentures of these girls, and the other will use the talismans to heal them!"

The other clone nodded, holding his arm high, and sighed, "What a pity! These girls were brought to Baoyue Tower, and some of them suffered serious injuries. Otherwise, we could have been more prepared."

"No need!"

A bloodthirsty look flashed in the sword-wielding clone's eyes. "Anyway, we only need to remember one thing: break in after dark and kill those bastards. Use the talisman to carry the innocent woman out of the city!"

While the two were communicating, the clone hidden in the building suddenly sent them a message that Yuan Meng had just left in a carriage.

Yuan Meng's departure undoubtedly caught the attention of the two men. The sword-wielding clone frowned and transmitted a message, "Follow her and see if she's going to find Li Hongcheng or Li Chengze. It would be best if we can get her to the woods outside the capital before 12:30 pm."

Seeing this, the clone who stayed in the building nodded, flapped his wings and chased after him.

The carriage was moving at a fairly fast pace, and before long, it arrived outside a luxurious inn in the west of the city.

A woman wearing gorgeous silk clothes and holding a silk fan jumped out of the carriage. It was Yuan Meng, the manager of Baoyue Tower!

"Stay here, I'll be back soon!"

After Yuan Meng finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and walked into the inn. Seeing this, Niao Que's eyes flashed with golden light, and he quickly found Yuan Meng's location.

Fortunately, there was an open-air place in the center of the inn, so the birds did not encounter any obstacles and were able to enter the inn.

Yuan Meng walked slowly to a guest room in the inn and knocked on the door.

The door of the inn opened, and Xie Bian's familiar face immediately entered the eyes of the clone.

Seeing Yuan Meng walk in, the clone immediately threw a flying knife at the wooden beam outside the room, and urged Ting Fengyin to eavesdrop on the sounds in the room.

"Your Highness, the renovations at Baoyue Tower are basically complete. We'll be open for business within three days!"

After Yuan Meng's voice fell, Li Chengze's voice rang out again, "Three more days. You know, at the latest, Fan Xian and his companions will be back from Northern Qi in three days. By then, we must use Baoyue Tower to arouse public outrage and humiliate the Fan Mansion for more than a month. Only in this way can we bring Fan Xian down and ruin his chances of taking over the inner treasury!"

Li Chengze's tone was not as calm as usual, and it was filled with an impatience that was not typical of him.

During this period, Li Chengze was in a really bad mood. After the two confidants he sent to Danzhou to capture Teng Zijing's family died, he had inexplicable nightmares for three to five days.

Afterwards, they sent people to Wang Qinian's home to arrest his wife and daughter, but when they arrived, they found that Wang Qinian's home was empty.

Later, Li Chengze thought of luring Fan Sizhe to cause trouble, but Fan Sizhe didn't even go out during this period, so he couldn't find any opportunity.

"Listen carefully, I'll give you another day tomorrow to prepare."

Li Chengze said frantically, "I want to hear the news that Baoyue Tower is open for business the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, be careful that I will be rude to you."

Looking at Li Chengze's appearance, Yuan Meng couldn't help but feel scared. She bowed and walked out.

Leng Feibai, who was eavesdropping outside, saw this and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"I'm at a loss for words. It seems the nightmare talisman had a significant effect on him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become anything less than a madman... No, except for the eldest son, all the other sons of that old loach Li Yunqian are madmen."

After saying that, the bird flapped its wings and returned to Baoyue Tower, watching Yuan Meng return to the Baoyue Tower.

After all this trouble, it was the end of the You hour in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, most of the people on the Liujing River were either staying in the brothels along the river to have fun, or returning home to rest.

At this time, outside the door of Baoyue Tower, a male swordsman with black hair, white clothes and a delicate face, holding a snake-shaped sword, was fighting in front of the door.

After making sure that there was no one around and no spies watching the place, the male swordsman raised his hand and cast a soundproof barrier with a talisman.

"boom"

With a loud bang, the gate of Baoyue Tower shattered in an instant and turned into a pile of broken wood that fell to the ground.

The loud noise attracted the attention of the thugs in the middle hall, and they all drew their weapons and came outside.

"The wanderer Murong crossed the Xiang River, his boat drifting with his clothes covered with clouds. His gorgeous fur coat and broken sword were still more beautiful than snow, and the mist and rain were still like frost in September."

The swordsman entered to the sound of poetry, glanced at the thugs and said, "I am Xiaoxiangke, Murong Shengxue. I am here only to destroy my family. Please die!"

This sentence was a naked provocation. After hearing it, the thugs were furious and rushed towards the swordsman who called himself Murong Shengxue.

This Murong Shengxue was naturally Leng Feibai's fake identity after he changed his appearance. He drew out the snake-shaped sword in his hand, and the sword's power was cold, fast and evil, and he rushed towards the thugs who rushed over to kill them!
