Fang Ce asked with a smile, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, if the matter was only for him, there really was nothing to worry about. At least he had to leave, and no one here could keep him. The only one who would make him worry was Xin Yu.
.
"Do you ever remember how you and I met?"
Xin Yu whispered.
"Of course I remember this. The former Master Ji was accidentally killed, and Fairy you were transferred to Qingping Town."
Fang Ce responded with a smile, already guessing what the beautiful boss would say next.
"Then you should also remember the culprit that led to the murder of Master Ji, the resentful spirit in the courtyard of Qingping Town, and his corpse that was later fished out, right?"
Xin Yu asked again.
"Well, of course I remember this, it's very impressive."
Fang Ce smiled again. As he expected, the root of the matter was basically consistent with what King Fu Zun said.
"Do you know the identity of that corpse?"
"I don't know, please let the fairy explain clearly."
Fang Ce smiled secretly and shook his head.
"That corpse is that of the current prince-in-law, the ex-wife of the Duke of Guo."
"Hiss? Duke Guo's ex-wife? What next?"
"Let me first tell you about the origin of this Duke and his relationship with his ex-wife..."
Xin Yu slowly narrated it, which was basically the same as what King Fu Zun said.
"I never thought that such a thing could happen? In this way, this seemingly philanthropic and venerable Duke is actually ungrateful and plotting for his future..."
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense!"
Xin Yu quickly signaled Fang Ce to be silent, and Liu eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Hmm? Fairy, do you need to be so exaggerated?"
Fang Ce was confused.
"Now that this case has been suppressed and has not yet been concluded, you should not make any wild guesses. And now the person behind the Duke is the eldest princess with a powerful background. This eldest princess is still the Mingguang Taoist Master in the capital.
As a closed disciple, even the Holy Emperor would give him a thumbs up."
Xin Yu looked solemn.
"So, the one who wants to deal with me now is the Duke, right? The so-called scapegoat is not a scapegoat. From the beginning, I was the target, and Fairy, you were implicated by me, right?
"
Fang Ce said with a smile. When he got here, he was almost completely sure. No wonder Liang Xue was not summoned, and why did he, a mere Feng Shui apprentice, get the treatment of being rewarded by the Face Master? All the previous doubts were completely solved.
.
At this moment, Xin Yu was silent, but after a moment he whispered: "The Holy One said...this matter may actually be designed by King Fu Zun to deal with the eldest princess's power..."
"Fairy, do you believe this?"
Fang Ce is funny. This has already taken a lot of effort to attack a mere Feng Shui apprentice. He obviously has a hidden agenda and is trying to hide it. If anyone with a discerning eye can see something, how could his beautiful boss not be aware of it?
"I……"
Xin Yu was silent again.
When Fang Ce saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. He could naturally see that the beautiful boss was on the side of the Holy Emperor. In this situation, although the beautiful boss had the answer in his heart, he could not help but subconsciously want to avoid it.
"Fairy, you'd better tell me directly about the current situation in the capital. What is the relationship between the Holy Lord, the so-called Duke of the Kingdom, and the eldest princess?"
Fang Ce shook his head.
"The relationship between the Holy One and the eldest princess is actually very simple. The eldest princess is the Holy One's foundation and the biggest bargaining chip to balance the situation in the capital."
"Can we also say that the eldest princess is the emperor's greatest support? Without the eldest princess, the throne of the emperor would not be stable. This means, right?"
Fang Ce smiled.
"You...Fang Ce, please keep your voice down, this is an inn, don't say these words casually!"
Xin Yu suddenly looked at Fang Ce with her beautiful eyes wide open, and was almost scared to death. This guy was so speechless that he never stopped trying!
"Okay, okay, the eldest princess is the Holy Emperor's bargaining chip and His Majesty's chess piece."
Fang Ce helplessly spread his hands.
"you……"
"Huh? So, isn't it right?"
"Forget it, sooner or later I will be pissed off by you!"
Xin Yu was not angry, and then sighed softly: "I know that you must have some complaints against the Holy One in your heart now, and I can't blame you. It's just that the Holy One can't help himself now, and he does it as a last resort."
"Um?"
Fang Ce smiled and waited for the next step. Who would not complain about this matter? Not to mention that before he came to the capital, he was still thinking about the court, and even asked Liang Xue to take the risk of staying in Youcheng, just in case.
But then he turned around and was stabbed mercilessly by this so-called saint? If he hadn't taken care of his beautiful boss, he might have turned the capital upside down!
"Alas, the situation in the capital is complicated now. The biggest hidden danger is King Fuzun, and the only one who can check and balance King Fuzun is the power of the eldest princess. And if the Duke's incident breaks out, the impact it will have on the power of the eldest princess is not trivial.
Originally, the Duke had a good reputation and was highly respected. Together with the eldest princess, he was even more popular, enough to make King Fuzun dare not move easily. Now that this incident has come out, it has created an opportunity for King Fuzun to attack the eldest princess's power.
In fact, to put it bluntly, now Fang Ce, you may be a bargaining chip between the forces of King Fu Zun and the eldest princess..."
Xin Yu whispered slowly.
"Then what are you thinking now, fairy?"
Fang Ce asked lightly. For him, nothing else mattered. He only cared about the attitude of his beautiful boss now.
"I...I don't know now..."
Xin Yu shook his head, and then looked helpless again: "Now I can be regarded as working for the Holy Lord. Naturally, I cannot accept the matter of the Duke, but it involves the overall situation...
I really don't know how to face these political issues. If I have a choice, I would rather leave here with you... Forget it, it doesn't make sense to talk about it now.
Fang Ce, I don't want you to conflict with the Holy One, nor do I want you to get into trouble. There are too many things involved. If the matter really cannot be resolved tactfully, Fang Ce, just leave the capital.
No one knows your strength yet, and if you want to leave, no one will be able to keep you."
"Oh? What about you, fairy?"
Fang Ce was surprised, and at the same time he felt a little relieved, because the beautiful boss said, "It can be regarded as working for the Holy Lord." This means that he only works for the Holy Lord for some reasons. As for the reason...
"Me? You don't have to worry about my safety. No one in the capital will hurt me..."
"Probably not? Fairy, you should remember what Master Kuang Lei said before. Having power and background is indeed a guarantee, but sometimes it may also be a bargaining chip that others can use. Otherwise, Fairy, there is no need for you to act so low-key.
,Right?"
Fang Ce spoke quietly.
"It's okay, Fang Ce, you don't have to think too much, I have my own sense of proportion."
Xin Yu shook his head again.
"Oh? Fairy, why are you so obsessed with this? I can see, Fairy, you are not a person obsessed with power."
Fang Ce was confused.
"Fang Ce, don't ask. I have my reasons for staying in the court. Please, please protect yourself and don't be taken advantage of. Then I can rest assured."
Xin Yu pursed her lips and turned her head.
"Well... that's it... everyone has their own secrets and past. Since the fairy can't tell you, I can't force it. As for my affairs..."
Fang Ce smiled: "I also ask you, Fairy, to take good care of yourself. Don't worry about my affairs, and don't worry too much. I will handle it myself."
"This...how are you going to deal with it?"
Xin Yu couldn't help but hesitate and worry.
"I've said it all, fairy, you don't have to worry. Don't worry, for fairy's sake, I won't conflict with the Holy One. After all, I don't like to be used by anyone, but it would be more interesting to watch dogs bite dogs."
Fang Ce responded with a smile.
"you……"
Xin Yu couldn't help but look at Fang Ce in surprise, and then pursed her lips: "It seems that my worries about you...are really unnecessary?"
"How can this be unnecessary? To me, Fairy, your thoughts are very important. They are not comparable to these messy things in the capital."
Fang Ce shrugged.
"Humph, you have a smooth tongue and you have deceived many girls."
Xin Yu blushed slightly and turned away her head: "Since you have sense, that's good. With my current ability, I can't actually help you much. Sometimes, I really feel that I..."
"Okay, Fairy, you have helped me a lot. At least I can reach this point without your help along the way, Fairy."
Fang Ce shook his head. Not to mention anything else, the Taiyan Taoist scripture that Xin Yu gave him brought him great help. Moreover, he was far from fully understanding the Taiyan Taoist scripture, which meant that this help was still
An unknown duration of time…
"Thank you..."
Xin Yu said softly.
"Ha, I want to thank you, Fairy."
Fang Ce shook his head and smiled.
"Then let's thank each other... By the way, although I can't give you much help now. But, there is a place where I might be able to be useful to you."
Xin Yu suddenly thought of something.
"Hmm? Where?"
Fang Ce was confused.
"Tianji Pavilion."
"Tianji Pavilion?"
"That is a place that specializes in selling information. Many secrets in the world can basically be found there."
Xin Yu responded.
"Oh? Selling information? Where can I find out about the affairs of the Holy Emperor and King Fuzun?"
Fang Ce couldn't help but be curious.
"I dare not say this, but there are rumors that there is no information that cannot be probed, but there are not enough chips."
"Interesting, where is Tianji Pavilion? Is there anything I need to pay attention to when going there?"
Fang Ce's eyes flickered. There was no information that he couldn't find out, but not enough chips. Maybe Tianji Pavilion could really give him some help...
"Go out from the east gate of the capital. About three kilometers away, you will see a huge lake. Tianji Pavilion is on a small island in the center of the lake. You can just take a boat there. Don't fly over. This is Tianji Pavilion.
Cabinet regulations.
There are not many places to pay attention to, as long as you don't cause trouble there. Because this Tianji Pavilion is not simple, it has existed through two dynasties.
It's just that they only sell information there and never get involved in any disputes between forces. Therefore, no one will provoke them. If you want to go, it is recommended that you hide your identity.
After all, as long as people know where you are going, they will naturally guess your purpose."
Xin Yu responded.
"I understand, one more question, what does this bargaining chip refer to?"
Fang Ce showed a trace of doubt. He didn't have much money on his body now, so he could only show off in front of ordinary people. Any kid from a wealthy family could compare with him. The only ones who can show off are those spiritual beings.
This is what happens with high-level talismans.
"Silver, natural materials, earth treasures, treasures, everything is fine. This Tianji Pavilion has its own measurement standards."
Xin Yu smiled, she naturally knew that Fang Ce had spiritual fruits on his body, but she didn't know how many there were...
"That's good. I'll go there in the evening. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Fang Ce asked with a smile.
"I'm not sure about this. After all, I've only been to this place once. Most of what I know is from what I heard."
Xin Yu shook his head.
"oh……"
Fang Ce nodded, a little curious about what the beautiful boss went to Tianji Pavilion to ask, but it looked like he probably wouldn't say anything.
After that, there was nothing to ask for, so the two of them took a rest and adjusted. After all, so many things happened when they first arrived in the capital, which was quite stressful.
Dusk gradually came, and after dinner, it was night.
"Fairy, I'm going to Tianji Pavilion now, and you can go with me. I'm not worried about you being here alone."
Fang Ce spoke.
"I am coming too?"
Xin Yu was surprised: "It shouldn't be necessary, right? After all, for now, no one in the capital will take action against me."
"Oh, I can't say for sure. You are walking with me now, so how can I not take precautions against things like this that could harm Chi Yu?"
Fang Ce shook his head and smiled. What he was most worried about was King Fuzun. After all, King Fuzun seemed to know a lot about him. If he wanted to cause something to happen, he really couldn't tell.
Moreover, if he leaves in the middle of the night and a spy happens to come to spy on his situation, but no one is seen, wouldn't it be possible for the beautiful boss to stay here and become a target?
"This... doesn't matter..."
Xin Yu nodded.
"Then change your clothes and go together."
Fang Ce smiled.
"good."
Xin Yu nodded.
After a while, Fang Ce changed into the attire of Mr. Destiny.
Xin Yu changed into a light pink dress and put on a veil, adding a bit of mysterious hazy beauty.
"Then let's set off, my beauty."
Fang Ce looked at Xin Yu with a smile and stretched out his hand.
Xin Yu couldn't help but glared at Fang Ce angrily, and gently placed her jade hand on Fang Ce's.
Fang Ce smiled, took Xin Yu with him, used the earth escape technique, and left quickly.
After arriving all the way to the east of the capital and one kilometer outside the city, Fang Cefang took Xin Yu out of the underground and continued to the east.
"You guys, you still won't let go?"
Xin Yu sounded a little embarrassed.
"My great beauty, it's dark and it's hard to walk on the road today. I'm afraid you'll get lost."
Fang Ce responded.
"If you... keep doing this, believe it or not, I will reward you with a few thunderbolts."
"Uh... ok, ok... I'm really ungrateful..."
Fang Ce had no choice but to let go of Xin Yu's little hand.
"You are really thinking more and more now? Did you learn it at Jiulong Mountain?"
"Fancy thoughts? Are there any? Great beauty, you can't slander my good intentions like this."
"You guy..."
The two chatted all the way and gradually came to a huge lake.
Under the moonlight, the edge of the lake was almost invisible.
"This is it."
Xin Yu whispered.
"Well...it's really not that simple..."
Fang Ce sensed the lake in front of him in surprise. He faintly sensed a powerful aura hidden at the bottom of the lake!
