Xin Yu looked at Liang Xue standing outside the door in surprise.
"The beauty is here too."
Fang Ce smiled and spoke.
"Well……"
Liang Xueluo glanced at Fang Ce: "I have been feeling uneasy these past few days. I did a divination over in Youcheng. The divination showed that Xin Yu, you are in trouble. I felt uneasy, so I rushed over quickly. I don't know if you guys
What's the situation now?"
In fact, it was Fang Ce who called her over.
"this……"
Xin Yu couldn't help but hesitate.
"It's not a big problem, just some minor troubles."
Fang Ce smiled and spoke.
"Little trouble?"
Liang Xue was confused. If it was a small trouble, there was no reason why Fang Ce would be so anxious to ask her to come.
"Master Qianxue, please come inside first, and I will explain it to you in detail."
"oh……"
Liang Xue nodded.
The three of them returned to the house.
A few moments later.
"What!? We worked hard on the front line to resist the scourge of Jiulong Mountain and fight for the imperial court. There is no mention of rewards and credit, this is how we are treated!"
Liang Xue's beautiful eyes suddenly opened wide and she was quite angry.
"Master Qianxue..."
Xin Yu was helpless: "The situation in the imperial court is in chaos now, and there is nothing we can do about this situation..."
"Huh! It's okay if the court doesn't wait for you!"
Before Xin Yu could finish speaking, Liang Xue snorted angrily.
"this……"
Xin Yu was immediately embarrassed.
"Okay, beautiful Qianxue, please be patient. Things have already happened, and there is no need to be angry."
Fang Ce is funny.
"What's the use of being angry? Since the imperial court treats us like this, we can just leave. Otherwise, we can just join Jiulong Mountain and see what the imperial court can do to resist it! Huh!"
"Ha, what's the use of joining Jiulong Mountain? Will you become the enemy of the whole world? And massacre the people of several cities as revenge against the imperial court?"
Fang Ce shook his head in amusement.
"This...I didn't say I wanted to massacre the city or anything. It's okay for us to join Jiulong Mountain and not serve this lousy court, right?"
"Joining Jiulong Mountain, how many times do you want to attack the city without attacking it? Do you think it's possible? It's not like you don't know where Jiulong Mountain is. Do you think it's me? Of course, as a maid who specializes in serving me, you should be able not to participate
The expansion and slaughter of Jiulong Mountain."
Fang Ce shrugged.
"A maid dedicated to serving you?"
Liang Xue's beautiful eyes suddenly widened: "You have a beautiful idea! Since Jiulong Mountain is not good, let's find a place to live in seclusion, right? It doesn't matter what the world is like. Anyway, these people belong to the imperial court, not us."
"Master Qianxue, you are confused here. The imperial court should belong to the people, not the people to the imperial court. After all, if the imperial court leaves the common people, it will definitely be destroyed. But for the common people, this imperial court is not good, and it needs to be replaced.
In the final analysis, the essence of the imperial court should exist to safeguard the interests of the people. The people for whom civil and military officials serve should not essentially be the imperial court, but the common people.
Over the past thousands of years, the imperial court has changed one by one, but have you ever seen the people change, right? Therefore, for us, it is not so much doing things for the court, but rather doing things for the people."
Fang Ce shook his head and smiled.
"this……"
Liang Xue couldn't help but look at Fang Ce in astonishment.
Xin Yu also looked surprised.
"Forget it, these things are a bit ahead of your time. After all, this is the limitation of the times. What you just said, Master Qianxue, is not entirely wrong. Because thousands of people are not aware of their own importance, and
Under the influence of human nature and various interests, one can only obey a complete, large and well-organized court.
Under the general trend, for people like us, it is indeed wisest to be alone. But... I really don't care if I want to leave. I don't know..."
Fang Ce looked at Xin Yu with a smile. Whether he stayed in the capital or the court, it really didn't matter to him now. It was the problem of this beautiful boss that he had to take care of.
"Well?"
Liang Xue couldn't help but be confused and looked at Xin Yu.
"I'm sorry, Master Qianxue, Fang Ce, you want to leave, and Xin Yu has no reason or qualification to keep you. But, I can't leave, so I'm really sorry."
Xin Yu looked embarrassed and regretful.
"Why? The imperial court treats us like this? Do you still want to serve the imperial court, Xin Yu?"
Liang Xue looked surprised and puzzled.
Fang Ce just looked at it casually and did not intend to ask any more questions. He knew that the beautiful boss was not a foolish and loyal person, and was also very considerate. If he did not want to leave here, there must be some inconvenience for him to tell.
"this……"
Xin Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Up to now, I have not concealed it too much. In fact, in a sense, the current Holy Emperor can be regarded as my brother. And I stay here because there are still
Some things in the past need to be clarified..."
"What!? The current Holy Emperor is your brother, Xin Yu!? So, you are still a princess?"
Liang Xue was stunned.
At this moment, even Fang Ce had a look of astonishment on his face. He knew that Xin Yu had a great origin, but he was vaguely sure that he was a descendant of Taoist Shengtian, but he never expected that Xin Yu was actually related to the royal family.
, and she is the younger sister of the current Holy Emperor...
"Princess?"
Xin Yu shook his head: "I can't tell you much. I can only tell you the reason why I have to stay. And the reason why I speak and act for the Holy One."
"Oh, I understand, brother-in-law, it turns out we are a family..."
Fang Ce was helpless.
Xin Yu's lips twitched, and she had the urge to use the Heavenly Thunder Technique.
"Can you please have a little face?"
Liang Xue also looked like she couldn't bear it.
"Okay, Master Qianxue, now the fairy can't leave. What are your plans now?"
Fang Ce smiled and spoke.
"I...what about you?"
Liang Xue couldn't help but frown. She wanted to stay by Xin Yu's side, but it was Fang Ce who could decide whether she should stay or go...
"Me? You don't have to worry about it. I am a very free person, and it wouldn't be surprising if I might leave one day. Of course, I will stay for a while before ensuring that the lives of these two beauties are safe."
Fang Ce responded with a smile.
"This... then I can't leave Xin Yu alone, after all... this is too unjust, and this is what I should do..."
Liang Xue's voice couldn't help but become smaller and smaller, as if she was a little embarrassed.
"Ha, it seems that Master Qianxue still values love and justice. Then you can make your own decision. Just remember, don't get involved in my affairs, so as not to get into trouble."
Fang Ce shrugged.
"Oh, that can only be like this. However, if the Holy One keeps targeting you like this, can you really bear it?"
Liang Xue looked at Fang Ce in confusion. Based on her understanding of Fang Ce, Fang Ce was not a fuel-saving lamp, and he would be in trouble if he messed with him...
"Ha, what's the impact if I can bear it or not? Sooner or later something will happen to the Holy One, so there's no need for me to take action."
Fang Ce shook his head and smiled. He was sure that the Holy Emperor was destined to be defeated at the hands of King Fu Zun. Instead of worrying about how to deal with the Holy Lord who could not do anything to him, it would be better to keep an eye on King Fu Zun and prepare to reap the benefits.
After all, his own strength is here, and with the involvement of King Fu Zun, it is not easy for the Holy Emperor and the Duke of Naguo to do anything to him. Therefore, his current situation only seems dangerous, but in fact it is shocking at best.
No risk...
"Sooner or later something will happen to the Holy One?"
Liang Xue was surprised.
Xin Yu couldn't help but show a hint of worry.
"Okay, let me go outside for a walk. Since I can't leave the capital in a short time, I'll see if there are any good courtyards outside and rent one. Staying in this shabby inn will be a injustice to these two beauties."
Fang Ce waved his hand, smiled and left.
Now that Liang Xue is here to take care of Xin Yu's safety, he can move around with peace of mind.
After all, Liang Xue has been practicing Taoism for more than a thousand years, and her own abilities are quite powerful. Ordinary cultivators cannot do anything about it. Moreover, Xin Yu himself has a certain ability to protect himself, so there is not much to worry about.
"well."
Xin Yu sighed lightly.
"Xin Yu, don't worry, that guy won't suffer any loss due to his ability."
Liang Xue was helpless.
"No, it's not just because of Fang Ce..."
"Are you still worried about Your Majesty?"
Liang Xue frowned, one end was her brother, the other was her own... This was indeed very embarrassing.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much."
Xin Yu shook his head.
At this moment, outside.
Not long after Fang Ce left the inn, he faintly sensed that someone was spying in secret.
"Well……"
Fang Ce couldn't help but ponder, and for a while he couldn't tell whether the spying came from the eldest princess's power or the power of King Fu Zun.
After all, now he does not belong to any side, but is pulled between these two forces...
Fang Ce walked around casually, and gradually came to a corner of the street, passing by a stall selling small toys.
A dangerous aura suddenly emerged!
In an instant! I saw the man looking at the goods in front of the stall quickly turned around, and a large piece of white powder was thrown towards him!
Fang Ce was slightly startled, and quickly closed his eyes to resist with one hand! However, in a hurry, a small amount of powder stuck to his eyes, and he suddenly felt a burning sensation!
poisonous!?
Fang Ce raised his eyebrows slightly, but this short time did not allow him to think too much.
"kill!!"
Low shouts sounded at the same time!
Almost at the moment when the man watching the goods sprinkled the white powder, two figures quickly rushed towards Fang Ce!
Shrouded in bitter evil aura!
A sharp blade quickly pierced Fang Ce's heart! A sharp blade slashed towards Fang Ce's throat!
"snort."
There was a soft sound.
Fang Ce's figure moved instantly, just a slight movement, but he easily grabbed the hands holding the two sharp blades!
"What!?"
The two masked men were immediately shocked.
"Who sent you here?"
Fang Ce asked quietly without even opening his eyes.
"No! Withdraw!"
The man watching the goods looked horrified and wanted to turn around and run away.
"Can you leave?"
Fang Ce said calmly and casually threw out the killer on his right!
Suddenly! Bang! Boom! Continuous sounds!
"Ah!"
Two screams sounded at the same time!
I saw the killer and the man watching the goods collide violently, and the stall was destroyed. This was not enough, and then a wall behind it was also destroyed!
At this moment, the killer who was still being held by Fang Ce had his pupils shrunk sharply, with a look of horror: "You... who are you!?"
"Who am I?"
Fang Ce casually used water magic to wash away the powder on his face, revealing a playful smile: "You came to assassinate me, but you ask who I am?"
"No...it's not...it's your strength..."
The killer was trembling with fear.
"Finally, let me ask you, who sent you here?"
Fang Ce didn't bother to pay much attention. With a movement of his hand, he led the killer beside him towards the two people in front.
"Ah! It hurts! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"
The killer suddenly cried out in pain, and was pulled forward by Fang Ce involuntarily.
There was already a commotion all around, and pedestrians retreated to watch the excitement from a distance.
"Don't...don't kill me...someone is offering ten thousand taels of gold...to kill you..."
The man watching the goods trembled and struggled to get up, and responded with a frightened face. He had been seriously injured just now. He was very shocked by Fang Ce's strength. At the same time, he was very upset that he accepted the reward...
"Oh? Ten thousand taels of gold want my life? Who wants my life? Who are you?"
Fang Ce looked at the three people indifferently. These three people have two hundred years of cultivation, and they can hold their breath, so their strength is not weak. If it were an ordinary Taoist priest, in the unexpected situation just now, with three or four hundred years of Taoism, I am afraid that
It’s all folded here!
After all, these three people seem to be professional killers, and they all possess evil aura. They hit the target directly. If ordinary Taoist priests do not have the body of King Kong or have a high level of Taoism, they will be seriously injured even if they are not killed by such a close attack.
!
"I... we are assassins from Netherworld Mountain. We just accepted the reward to take your life... As for who wants to take your life, we don't know. In the transactions in Netherworld Mountain, we don't know who the employer is.
…”
The man responded in panic.
"Oh? The assassin of Netherworld Mountain?"
Fang Ce was confused. Naturally, he didn't know about this place.
"It's not surprising that you don't know about Netherworld Mountain when you first come here. Netherworld Mountain is a gathering place for top assassins in the world, specializing in eliminating disasters for people..."
The man responded.
"Oh...you don't know who wants to kill me, do you?"
Fang Ce looked at the man with a smile.
"I don't know, I really don't know! Please forgive me! Please forgive me! We are just collecting people's money to eliminate disasters for others..."
The three people quickly begged for mercy.
"If you don't know... then I have no interest in your lives..."
"Thank you so much for your life! Thank you so much for your life!"
The three of them were overjoyed.
"but……"
Fang Ce raised the corner of his mouth: "Ten thousand taels of gold means you want to take my life. It's too little!"
With a sound, he got lucky again!
Click!
The assassin who had been held by Fang Ce had his wrist bones crushed in an instant!
"ah!!!"
The assassin suddenly let out a shrill scream!
"you!?"
The two assassins in front both looked horrified.
"You go back and tell that employer that if you want to kill me, show some sincerity. It's only ten thousand taels of gold. Who are you looking down on?"
Fang Ce casually threw the assassin beside him towards the two people in front of him. There was a bang and several miserable groans.
"Go...go! Go quickly!!"
The three assassins ran away in a hurry.
Fang Ce watched calmly. Just when the three assassins were about to disappear from sight, he stepped forward and followed quietly...
