Xianyang, Luowang Headquarters, Zhao Gao has been living a good life recently.
The eldest son Fusu married Li Si's daughter. Ying Zheng seemed a little dissatisfied with this, so Li Si's dignified empire Zuo Prime Minister personally took the Seven Evil Swords of the Snare to track down the Qilin Society. This led to the current snare in Xianyang, and no one can suppress Zhao Gao
One head.
Moreover, Zhao Gao's identity is different now. The eighteenth son Hu Hai is lively and active, and loves to dance with guns and sticks. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to select someone with strong martial arts skills to teach the eighteenth son to learn martial arts. After much thought, he finally decided on the one who was once the rescuer.
And Zhao Gao lost his right arm.
Zhao Gao became the teacher of the Eighteenth Young Master, and it was at such a time that it is thought-provoking.
"Lord Zhao Gao."
A call came from outside the door. Zhao Gao opened his eyes, and the rhythm of tapping his nails on the table suddenly stopped, "Come in."
The man who walked in had blood-red hair, tight-fitting black clothes that outlined his muscle lines, wristbands on his arms, and boots with a faint sheen.
"Yan Le, what's the matter?"
Yan Le, this is the only confidant master that Zhao Gao has trained personally for all the years he has been the leader of Luo Wang. He is completely different from the Six Sword Slaves of Luo Wang.
"Your Excellency, Dr. Chun Yuyue and Shusun Tong visited Fu Nian. Fu Nian hosted a banquet and the two of them spent about an hour and a half together."
"Huh?" Zhao Gao sat upright seriously, "Chun Yuyue, this person actually took the initiative to visit Fu Nian."
Chunyu Yue was a native of the Qi State. After the Qin State unified the world, he once suggested that Yingzheng should implement enfeoffment in the world regarding future national policies. It was quite ridiculous. Fu Nian was the one who opposed the enfeoffment.
Originally, the quarrel with Chun Yuyue would fall on Li Si. Isn't this an extra thought? He and Chun Yuyue came from the same country of Qi and were both Confucian scholars, but their directions in this matter were completely different.
Not surprisingly, a lively debate ensued.
In the end, Fu Nian, who supported the county system, won.
Yan Le suddenly knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "There are many masters in the Central Academy, but I can't get close to you. I didn't hear the content of their conversation. Please punish me."
"Get up, no one can eavesdrop on Fu Nian, the fourth best swordsman in the world, and it's useless for you to kneel down."
"Thank you for your innocence." Yan Le stood up and added, "It is difficult for the Central Academy to spy. I have sent experts to sneak into Chun Yuyue and Shusuntong's mansion for close surveillance, but if there is any information, I will report it immediately."
"Well done." Zhao Gao nodded with satisfaction and warned, "Taishan is about to be enshrined in Zen, and it is common for Confucian idiots to get together. They are good at talking and talking, and they can't make a fool of themselves when things happen.
You don't need to be too nervous. These people don't matter, there are only three of them over Fu Nian, so we must not let any traces slip."
"Yes, I am resigning."
"Hmm~"
After Yan Le retreated, Zhao Gao stood up from his seat and sucked a long sword into his hand with his left hand.
Huhu~
Purple flames erupted from Zhao Gao's hand, and his slender nails were clasped on the blade of the sword. For a moment, black smoke rose up.
Dang rang ~
The broken sword fell to the ground, and the sound of hitting the stone bricks was clear and sweet.
Zhao Gao stared at his only left hand, his small pupils filled with murderous intent.
Fu Nian, you want to stabilize the status of the eldest son and protect the future of your Confucianism through the marriage between the eldest son and Li Si, but you don't know...
"Li Si, hum hum ~"
Li Si has never, and will never, stand on the side of the eldest son.
…
Ji Bu finished his day at the academy and walked briskly home with a small parcel in his arms. When he opened the courtyard door, his eyes suddenly changed.
No, it was not like this in the yard before going out in the morning.
He secretly paid attention to the corner of the yard, quietly closed the door, pretended not to notice anything, and walked straight inside.
Uh-huh~
A sword light suddenly burst out, and Ji Bu was on guard and dodged immediately.
The opponent was an unidentifiable man in black. The moment the two of them crossed paths, Ji Bu drew his sword out of its sheath, turned over and struck the man in black on the back of the head.
呲呲呲～
The opponent's back sword slid past the sword, and he waved his hand and swept across a wide area. Fortunately, Ji Bu was very good at lightness, and he escaped with just two fingers.
Damn it, this person has superb swordsmanship and is stronger than me. What is going on recently, first Chen Ping, and now me, why are we being remembered?
Ji Bu held his sword on guard and stood there without making any unnecessary moves. Facing someone whose sword skills surpassed his own, he did not dare to make a rash move.
"Who are you? If you act like this in Xianyang City, are you really not afraid of the Shadow Guards and Luo Wang chasing you to the ends of the earth?"
"It's no use talking more, just watch the sword."
The man in black ignored him and approached with the sword in his hand again. This time the sword was wrapped with sword energy and was faintly stained with white frost.
Ding~
The two swords intersected, and Ji Bu could see clearly that the opponent's sword was exuding an icy chill, and the air condensed into mist.
Ding ding ding~
Hmm? Why does this swordsmanship feel so familiar?
Ji Bu was puzzled, and he hesitated in his hand movements, suddenly revealing a huge flaw.
"Looking for death~"
The man in black shouted sharply, his voice piercing the veil.
The long sword pierced through Ji Bu's sword and passed by with his sleeve, then circled around Ji Bu's neck, and was finally held by the man in black with his backhand.
Buzz~
The long sword was pressed against the back of Ji Bu's neck.
Kaka~
Ji Bu's right hand holding the sword extended from his wrist to his shoulder, and around his neck, there was an extra layer of frost.
"Ji Bu, you are too lax."
The man in black sheathed his sword and stood still, taking off his veil and revealing his true face - Gao Jianli.
Ji Bu raised his right hand blankly and looked at the cuffs that had been torn apart by the sword energy. He couldn't help feeling frightened. He turned around and breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Gao, I was almost scared to death by you. If the fight just now had been a little...
If you are not careful, you will really——"
Gao Jianli didn't care about his reaction and interrupted directly and asked: "Where is Chen Ping?"
"Um." Ji Bu was a little embarrassed, "Chen Ping was put in solitary confinement by Mr. Fu Nian. He has been in the academy these days."
"In the Central Academy..."
Gao Jianli thought for a moment. Fu Nian, Yan Lu, and Zhang Liang were at least three first-rate masters from the Central Academy. Chen Ping's safety should not be a concern there.
Ji Bu saw that he looked ugly and cared about his words as if they were gold, so he asked, "Brother Gao, why did you come to Xianyang without writing a letter beforehand?"
Gao Jianli looked at Ji Bu and sighed, "I heard about the assassination at Mr. Fusu's wedding. Chen Ping is not good at martial arts, and your martial arts are not yet mature. How can I feel at ease? And about Mr. Fusu...
"
There is still no prince in the empire. There was an assassination in Xianyang City, which also involved the young master Fusu. When Gao Jianli heard about it, he was naturally very anxious. He rushed to Xianyang in a hurry to prevent another assassin from threatening the lives of the two young men.
Gao Jianli waved his hand to disperse the frost on Ji Bu's arms and neck, and led him towards the house. "Come in and sit down. Tell me everything you know about what happened in Xianyang recently, word for word."
