"Huh!? Zhenren Hou, you said King Fu Zun wants to protect this person!?"
The chief catcher immediately looked at the man in white robes in shock.
Master Hou? King Fu Zun!?
Fang Ce suddenly looked at the man in white robes in surprise. This man turned out to be a member of King Fuzun!? And he came to protect him!? This was really unexpected! After all, he originally guessed that this time the matter was probably caused by King Fuzun.
He is doing something secretly and needs to be punished! King Fuzun will come forward to protect him. I really didn’t expect it!
"Not bad, any questions?"
At this moment, Master Nahou responded calmly.
This Master Hou has seven hundred years of Taoism, which is not simple.
The Chief Inspector frowned: "Zhenren Hou, even if King Fu Zun comes forward, you can't just let this person be taken away. After all, this is a key criminal who has been decreed by the Holy One to be captured..."
"This is the Holy Mandate. It has confirmed this little brother's innocence. Is it enough to protect this man?"
Hou Zhenren took out a book and unfolded it.
"This!? A decree from the Holy One!? When did this happen!? Why didn't the Holy One inform..."
"Huh? Doesn't it mean that His Majesty needs to report to you, the chief catcher, on how he wants to handle things?"
Hou Zhenren's eyes narrowed.
"No! No! I don't dare!!"
The chief catcher quickly clasped his fists and lowered his head.
"Okay, Mr. Xin, little brother, let's go."
Hou Zhenren immediately looked at Xin Yu and Fang Ce.
"Um."
Xin Yu nodded, and the three of them turned and left together.
Arrive outside the capital.
"You two, my master has prepared a banquet and is waiting for your arrival."
Hou Zhenren smiled and said.
Fang Ce couldn't help but look at Xin Yu, he was still very confused about the situation.
"Thank you very much. It's just that Xin Yu and Fang Ce are still a little inconvenient and can't attend the banquet. I hope Master Hou will report back to King Fu Zun and come to visit you again if you have the opportunity. I'm really sorry."
Xin Yu cupped his fists and saluted.
Fang's sense of strategy was weird. Logically speaking, the other party came to help, so there was no reason to refuse at this time anyway. After all, it was too disrespectful.
"That's it...Okay, I'll take my leave for now, please."
Hou Zhenren cupped his fists and saluted.
"please."
Xin Yu responded with cupped fists.
After Master Hou left.
"Fairy, what on earth is going on? Did King Fuzun come forward to help us?"
Fang Ce was confused. He was really confused now. After all, everything was so sudden.
"Well... you can put it that way..."
Xin Yu responded thoughtfully.
"You can say that? Fairy, how much do you know about this matter? Otherwise, why would you reject King Fuzun's invitation? Is the Holy One trying to arrest us?"
Fang Ce was confused.
"It's the Holy One who wants to arrest us. This matter is like this..."
Xin Yu slowly told Fang Ce what Lord Shangqing had said before.
"Oh? So, there are powerful forces in the imperial court who want to deal with us? Then the Holy One had to respond, so I became the scapegoat?"
Fang Ce was surprised and felt even more strange in his heart. Could this be considered a sudden disaster?
"Well, I suspect that this is King Fuzun directing and acting on his own. But all this will only be clear after meeting the Holy One."
Xin Yu frowned.
"King Fu Zun directed and acted on his own?"
Fang Ce was confused.
"Well, because when I was in the capital, I was anxious about how to get you out of trouble. King Fu Zun's subordinate Hou Zhenren came with the Holy Oracle..."
"I see, that is to say, King Fuzun had known for a long time that we would be imprisoned, and also knew our itinerary. Otherwise, he would not have come forward for us at such a coincidence. No, he just came out for me?"
Fang Ce looked strange. After all, as the scapegoat, he was the only one who would be injured in this incident...
"Well, so we have to be on guard against this one."
Xin Yu responded.
"That's interesting. So what are we going to do next? Continue to stay in the capital? There's no news from the Holy One?"
Fang Ce asked. He was now curious about King Fuzun's plans. After all, they would be involved with King Fuzun, and they would only have old grudges against the thieves in Yu County who were wiped out by Fang Ce. But since it was a grudge,
Why did King Fuzun resort to such repeated tactics?
Wouldn't it be enough to just put him in jail and deal with it? Could it be that there is a deeper purpose to this?
"There is no news from His Majesty now, and we cannot leave the capital at will. Let's stay at the inn first, so as to wait for news from His Majesty."
Xin Yu responded.
"Um."
Fang Ce shrugged casually.
The two of them arrived at the inn and arranged their accommodation.
In the room, Fang Ce and Xin Yu had just sat down and were about to drink tea.
"Master Xin, are you here?"
A somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Huh? Who?"
Xin Yu was confused.
Fang Ce was also curious.
"I am a guard of the imperial palace. I have come to summon Lord Xin to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit at the request of the Holy One."
The voice responded.
"Your Majesty?"
Xin Yu and Fang Ce were surprised at how fast this speed was. After all, they were leaving the capital...
"Okay, sir guard, please wait a moment."
Xin Yu immediately stood up and came to the door, opening the door.
What caught her eye was an acquaintance, the guard who had given her orders for the first few times!
"Master Xin, we meet again."
The guard smiled and spoke.
"I have met the Lord Guard."
Xin Yu responded with a smile.
Fang Ce on the side couldn't help but be curious about the identity of the guard. After all, it now seemed that this person might be a confidant of the Holy Emperor.
"You're welcome, Mr. Xin, your invitation is welcome."
The guard turned slightly sideways to indicate.
"Thank you, sir."
Xin Yu nodded and stepped forward, preparing to follow the guard to the palace.
And Fang Ce followed suit.
"This little brother, please stay. Your Majesty has only summoned Lord Xin."
The guard extended his hand to stop Fang Ce.
Fang Ce couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Fang Ce, please stay here for now. I'll be back as soon as I go. It shouldn't take long."
Xin Yu opened his mouth.
"Um."
Fang Ce nodded. In this situation, he could only do this. After all, everything was still unclear and he couldn't act rashly.
Seeing Xin Yu and the guard gradually disappear from sight, Fang Ce prepared to return to his room.
"Little brother."
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Well?"
Fang Ce looked around in surprise and saw that it was Master Hou from before!
"Little brother, my master, King Fu Zun, has invited me."
Hou Zhenren smiled and clasped his fists.
"Oh? King Fu Zun wants to see me?"
Fang Ce couldn't help but his eyes flickered. Was King Fuzun heading straight for him? After all, the beautiful boss had just left, and then Zhenren Hou came to the door. It couldn't be such a coincidence, and he had just been rejected by the beautiful boss once...
"The master said that if you meet him, you will know everything you want to know. You will know why you are in prison, you will know your situation and your real enemy."
Master Hou smiled again and spoke.
"Oh? When you meet King Fuzun, you can know everything I want to know?"
Fang Ce even showed a hint of surprise. This matter seemed to be more interesting than expected, and King Fu Zun now really made him curious. What kind of number one figure is this?
At this moment, Master Hou smiled and waited for Fang Ce's response.
"Since you are invited by someone like King Fu Zun, I have no reason to be ignorant and can help you lead the way."
Fang Ce smiled and nodded.
"welcome."
Hou Zhenren turned sideways to invite.
Fang Ce couldn't help but glance at Hou Zhenren again. Does King Fu Zun really think highly of him? You must know that his current status is just a Feng Shui apprentice, so this courtesy is beyond the standard.
Come outside.
I saw a luxurious carriage waiting.
"Little brother, please get in the car."
Hou Zhenren smiled and said.
"Ha, as expected of King Fu Zun, he is really grand."
Fang Ce couldn't help but nod again. It seems that King Fu Zun really thinks highly of him?
With curiosity and doubts, Fang Ce got into the carriage.
Then the carriage started to move.
Sitting in the spacious and comfortable carriage, Fang Ce fell into deep thought. What exactly was King Fuzun planning? From the whereabouts of him and his beautiful boss on the way to the capital, King Fuzun obviously knew.
And from the current point of view, all of this should be planned by King Fu Zun.
However, if King Fu Zun really wants to deal with him and his beautiful boss, why does he go to such trouble? The current grand invitation is obviously out of place and full of contradictions...
after a while.
"My lord, here we are."
The carriage stopped and the coachman's voice sounded outside.
"Um."
Fang Ce nodded, got out of the carriage and looked up.
I saw a magnificent royal palace in front of me. The tall palace gate was nearly two feet high, and the two doors seemed to be made of golden wood that was hundreds of years old...
At this time, the door was still open.
"My lord, I have an invitation. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
A guard saluted respectfully.
Fang Ce nodded and followed the guard into the palace.
Under the leadership of the doorman, Fang Ce came to a beautiful courtyard with twists and turns.
There are birds singing and flowers fragrant in this courtyard, and there is also a large lake. In the lake, there are koi fish playing in groups with each other, and the koi are vivid.
"Sir, the little ones can only be sent here."
The doorman stopped suddenly and looked at a unique and elegant pavilion in front of him.
At this moment, in the pavilion, there was a person drinking alone at the stone table.
This man wears a golden crown on his head, with long hair disheveled, a handsome face, and a white brocade robe. His temperament is gentle yet a bit unruly, quiet yet a bit aloof. He is truly a dragon and a phoenix among men!
"Dear guest, please take your seat."
King Fuzun raised his head and looked at Fang Ce calmly.
But the guard had quietly left.
"I pay my respects to King Fuzun."
Fang Ce, on the other hand, simply cupped his fists and saluted.
"No need to be polite, please take a seat."
King Fu Zun smiled lightly.
"I don't dare. I have a humble status. How can I sit with King Fu Zun?"
Fang Ce lowered his head and responded. King Fu Zun was indeed not a simple person. When he first saw him, he was definitely not an easy guy to deal with. As a Feng Shui apprentice, it was better for him to be low-key and cautious in this capital city.
"Heroes don't care where they come from. For me, identity is never important. Distinguished guests, please don't be formal. Please take your seat."
King Fuzun responded calmly.
Fang Zhi was silent, then he bowed and walked to the pavilion to sit down.
King Fuzun casually poured a glass of wine for Fang Ce.
"Thank you, Lord Fu, for the wine."
Fang Ce cupped his fists and saluted again.
King Fuzun glanced at Fang Ce casually, then picked up the wine glass and took a leisurely sip.
Fang Ce also picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Hiss...it's really good wine. Thank you King Fuzun for the gift."
Although he doesn't drink much, this wine is indeed very mellow and delicious. It seems to have spiritual energy in it, and he feels refreshed just by taking the drink.
"If your distinguished guest likes it, you can stay in my palace and enjoy it every day."
King Fu Zun smiled and spoke.
"This... King Fu Zun is joking, how can I reach such a high level?"
Fang Ce was even more surprised. Could it be that King Fu Zun wanted to win over him? How well did King Fu Zun know him now? The mysterious young master of Yu County? Or... the Shengxie Young Master!? Otherwise, there shouldn't be such an abnormality.
move……
"I have already said that regardless of where the heroes come from, as long as they are talented, I will treat them favorably."
King Fuzun looked at Fang Ce with a smile.
At this moment, Fang Ce also looked at King Fuzun quietly. This King Fuzun had excellent abilities and courage in all aspects. He was the most powerful person he had ever encountered, second only to the good and evil Taoist. Moreover, the good and evil Taoist could defeat King Fuzun here.
Above all, it’s because strength plays a larger role.
In other words, aside from their own strong strength, in other aspects, good and evil Taoists cannot be compared with King Fu Zun...
"Thank you, King Fuzun, for your appreciation. I heard what Master Hou said before, and I wonder if I can know everything I want to know by coming here?"
Fang Ce asked doubtfully and didn't do much testing with King Fuzun. He had better figure out the key to the problem before talking.
"Yes, I can tell you everything you encountered when you came to the capital. And who is the real mastermind behind this?"
King Fu Zun responded with a smile.
"Oh? Please give King Fuzun some advice."
Fang Ce was surprised and asked, is it not King Fu Zun who wants to deal with him and his beautiful boss, but someone else? But this is strange. In this capital, besides King Fu Zun, who else can deal with him and...wait...
…
Could it be that he was just targeting the beautiful boss? He was just involved in it and was dragged by the Holy One to be the scapegoat for the beautiful boss?
After all, he is very clear about his own situation and has no connection with the capital. He is just a Feng Shui apprentice from a marginal town. How can the big shots in the capital notice him or have the leisure to target him?
So the biggest possibility is that the grievances come from the beautiful boss himself? After all, the beautiful boss himself is a person with a background, so it is not surprising that there are some grievances in this capital...
"If I am not mistaken, your distinguished guest should be a Feng Shui apprentice from Qingping Town, right?"
King Fu Zun smiled.
"Well... As expected of King Fu Zun, even a small person like me knows the origins..."
Fang Ce nodded. It seemed that King Fu Zun had indeed conducted an in-depth investigation into him...
"I wonder if you know about a person named Zhao He?"
King Fu Zun asked again.
"Zhao He?"
Fang Ce was confused and felt a little familiar. Where had he heard this name before?
"Do not you know?"
King Fuzun glanced at Fang Ce's expression and spoke again: "In the thirteenth year of Hongguang, there was a wealthy businessman named Qiu Yang in Qingping Town, and he had a daughter named Qiu Dajiao..."
"Qiu Dajiao?"
Fang Ce couldn't help but open his eyes. He suddenly remembered this name. This was the resentful spirit he got rid of when he first came here! How could King Fu Zun mention this... Wait!
Zhao He!? Zhao He, the number one scholar in the family!?
Fang Ce instantly remembered the origin of the name. No wonder he felt familiar. However, he couldn't remember for a moment. It turned out that it was the number one scholar who murdered Qiu Dajiao! It's just...
Why did King Fuzun mention this? Could it be that what happened to him and his beautiful boss in the capital was related to Zhao He, the number one scholar?
Could it be that Zhao He, the number one child in the family, has already gained power? Otherwise, how could the Holy Emperor be forced to take action against him and his beautiful boss in response?
