Night Watchman: Linked to the Legend of Sword and Fairy game, strongly promoting Huaiqing.

Furthermore, the night watchmen only obeyed Emperor Yuanjing, and the removal of the golden gong also required Emperor Yuanjing's approval.

Therefore, even if Wei Yuan knew that he was doing some bad things, he turned a blind eye.

On the other hand, there was intense infighting among various factions within the imperial court.

The watchmen were in great need of restraint, suppression, and oversight.

There was a shortage of manpower, and in addition, he was a fourth-rank Golden Gong expert, a top talent.

That's why they were safe and sound.

but!

If Li Xuan were here, he could replace Zhu Yang.

Zhang Yi's voice continued, "Zhu Jinluo, if you remain indifferent, you know what will happen to you."

"Indeed, we cannot remain indifferent." Zhu Yang's eyes flashed with a cold light.

He looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

If Li Xuan is also Zhang Yi's enemy, then cooperation is naturally possible.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Of course we'll find a way to get rid of Li Xuan!"

Get rid of Li Xuan?

Zhu Yang's pupils contracted.

But he also knew that if he didn't get rid of Li Xuan, he would be doomed.

He looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Li Xuan is currently receiving a lot of attention. The Imperial Observatory, the night watchmen, Yunlu Academy, Princess Lin'an, Princess Huaiqing, and others all have high hopes for him."

"Getting rid of him won't be easy."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Indeed, Li Xuan has already become a force to be reckoned with; but precisely because of this, we must eliminate him, otherwise he will soon grow completely powerful."

"At that time, let alone getting rid of him, we will all be uprooted by him and die without a burial place."

Zhu Yang nodded and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Zhang Yi flashed a murderous intent and said, "Find a mission for Li Xuan to carry out outside the capital. Ambush him on the way."

"Even if we can't investigate the capital, we can still move them away from the city, to remote places like Taikang County, and surround and eliminate them."

Zhu Yang frowned slightly and asked, "But what mission?"

Zhang Yi said, "I can design the mission."

"At that time, all you need to do is manipulate the task assignments within the watchmen's ranks, so that Li Xuan has to go and carry them out, and that will be enough."

"When Li Xuan leaves the city or goes to the capital to carry out a mission, we can kill him on the way."

Zhu Yang's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

Did they manipulate the task allocation among the night watchmen?

For him, a gold gong player, this is not a problem at all.

But regarding assassinations...

Zhu Yang said, "We have a problem with tampering with things, but as for assassinating Li Xuan? As a Jinluo, I can't participate."

He also wanted to go and kill Li Xuan himself.

But here's the thing.

As one of only five people holding the golden gong for the night watchmen, he held a high position and wielded great power, and his every move was watched by various forces.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to spare any effort to deal with Li Xuan.

Zhang Yi replied, "Don't worry, you don't need to lift a finger, I have people to help."

His father was the Minister of War, with many subordinates, including some fourth-rank experts within the Ministry of War.

As long as Zhu Yang can manipulate things within the watchmen's ranks and lure Li Xuan out, dealing with Li Xuan will be a piece of cake.

"Okay!" Zhu Yang agreed.

He then asked, "When did you start making noise?"

Zhang Yi said, "If we do something shady today, the night watchman will find out tomorrow and we'll have to send a silver gong to investigate."

Zhu Yang's expression shifted, and he chimed in, "Perfect timing! Li Xuan was just assigned to carry out this mission!"

"Hahahaha!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi burst into laughter: "That's exactly it!"

But Zhu Yang added, "But what if we kill Li Xuan? Will we be discovered?"

"After all, the Imperial Observatory, the night watchmen, and Yunlu Academy all keep an eye on Li Xuan."

Zhang Yi sneered, "Only the living have value; the dead can't cause any trouble!"

"And don't worry, my people will cover up the traces and won't expose us."

"Well then, it's a pleasure to cooperate!" Zhu Yang finally said.

Zhang Yi grinned maliciously and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"

the other side.

In the mansion.

After leaving the mansion, Li Xuan headed towards the Haoqi Tower.

But we had only gone halfway there.

That's when I met Xu Xinnian.

Xu Xinnian walked awkwardly down the street, carrying a large stack of books.

"Brother-in-law!"

Xu Xinnian soon saw Li Xuan and went up to greet him.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Aren't you studying at Yunlu Academy? Have you finished your day's classes so quickly?"

"And besides, carrying so many books, aren't you just making yourself suffer?"

It's only noon now, and Xu Xinnian should still be at Yunlu Academy.

People usually go there in the morning, have lunch and rest there at noon, and return in the evening.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xinnian looked at Li Xuan and complained, "Speaking of which, isn't it all because of you, brother-in-law?"

"Because of me?" Li Xuan asked, puzzled.

Xu Xinnian said, "Brother-in-law, several great Confucian scholars have been asking me to invite you to Yunlu Academy."

"So many days have passed and I still haven't been able to invite you, which has made the Confucian scholars of the academy unhappy."

So they sent me out to buy books by myself.

"What we have now are the books that need to be purchased and taken back."

As he spoke, Xu Xinnian put on a pitiful expression.

Originally, these arduous tasks were done by the academy's pageboys, usually in groups of several.

but now!

They actually let him, a student, do it, and he did it all by himself.

I was so tired!

"this!"

Li Xuan was speechless.

"The great scholars of your academy are truly speechless."

"Fine, I'm free today anyway, I'll go to the academy with you."

"Really?" Xu Xinnian was overjoyed and said excitedly.

Li Xuan can resolve his troubles by going to the academy.

Moreover, the senior teachers and scholars can also calm down and stop vying for power.

"Let's go!"

"lead the way!"

Li Xuan said.

“Okay!” Xu Xinnian quickly picked up the books and led the way.

But because there were so many books, he almost tripped and fell.

Seeing this, Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Give me the books."

With a flick of his right hand, he stored the books inside his spatial storage.

Seeing Li Xuan's abilities, Xu Xinnian looked envious and said, "Brother-in-law, this spatial artifact of yours, was it produced by the Imperial Observatory?"
