Chapter 104 Testing Chen Pingping, the Use of Magic

Inside Kyoto City.

Everything was very strict, requiring identity checks and stuff, and there were people from the Inspection Bureau everywhere.

But if you go outside the city, it is not that strict and basically no one will check your identity.

Many of the princes, nobles, and wealthy businessmen had gardens, large estates, and other things in the suburbs.

They don't usually live in these places, and only come to visit occasionally.

Those princes and nobles were not short of money, so they just maintained these gardens and farms and didn't mind spending a little money.

But it’s different for businessmen. They are profit-driven and will rent out their houses in their spare time.

So Qin Feng rented a small courtyard in a relatively remote manor.

morning.

When Anne woke up, she found herself lying alone in bed in a strange room.

She first looked over her body, and when she found that there were no shackles as before, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she looked around and found that the room was very large, the windows were open, and there was green outside.

Where's the masked man? Why isn't he in the room?
Annie looked at the window, but didn't think of running away immediately. After all, Qin Feng told her that she could hear everything that happened in the entire yard.

If she wanted to escape, she had to at least search the entire yard first.

Thinking this, she walked to the door and pushed it open.

Then she saw Qin Feng sitting in the middle of the yard, reading a book.

"It's you!?" Annie pointed at Qin Feng with a look of surprise.

Qin Feng was not wearing a mask at this time, but she had seen that face before!
Previously, when the Dongyi City delegation came to Beijing, Yun Zhilan asked her to use the Detection Eye to investigate a person in a restaurant.

At that time, she saw that Qin Feng's magic power was so strong that it was about to overflow, and his strength was extremely powerful.

According to the Eastern Kingdom's strength classification, he was at least a ninth-rank master, so she quickly informed Yun Zhilan.

"Have you been eyeing me for a long time?" Seeing that Qin Feng didn't say anything, Annie continued to ask.

At the same time, he thought to himself: Fortunately, I didn’t think about escaping just now. I didn’t expect this guy to be guarding the door.

"That's not the case. It's just a coincidence."

Qin Feng pointed to the food on the table next to him and said, "Eat it, and then start teaching me Western characters."

He has already left the city and will not leave in the short term. He will go directly to Northern Qi when the time comes, so it doesn't matter if he shows his true face to others.

Hearing this, Annie didn't say much. She sat down next to him and started eating.

While eating, she said, "You are very smart and learn things quickly, faster than me."

Qin Feng smiled and said nothing.

"Can you please not knock me out next time?" Annie continued to ask.

This feeling of not being able to control yourself is really terrifying.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it shouldn't happen again in the future." Qin Feng said with a cough.

The main purpose of knocking people out was to avoid any accidents. After all, they were in the city, and if they attracted people from the Inspection Institute, it would be troublesome.

Soon, Annie finished her meal and started teaching Qin Feng English.

Imperial Palace, Guangxin Palace.

The eldest princess was frowning.

Because her collusion with Zhuang Mohan was discovered, and most importantly, the murderer has not been caught yet, she is a little anxious.

Yan Xiaoyi suspected it was Fan Xian because he looked similar to him, but he went to Fan's house and found no evidence.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

This matter was like a thorn that pierced deeply into Li Yunrui's heart. If it was not pulled out quickly, who knew when it would hurt her badly.

In secret, she had already sent people to investigate, but so far, nothing had been found.

At the same time, in the imperial study.

Standing in front of Emperor Qing were Hong Sixiang and Yan Xiaoyi.

Hong Sixiang has already stated his situation clearly. He was lured away from home by someone, and he suspected that it was Yun Zhilan who did it.

Yan Xiaoyi said, "Your Majesty, when the assassin escaped from the city, there was another person who came to meet him. He was a little taller than the assassin and very powerful, not weaker than me."

"Not weaker than you? Where do so many ninth-rank upper masters come from in Kyoto?" Emperor Qing also frowned.

Emperor Qing has always had a deep understanding of Kyoto City, but the reason why Yun Zhilan left the delegation outside the East City Gate a few days ago is still unknown, and now a mysterious ninth-rank upper warrior has appeared.

Even in the palace, an assassination occurred beyond the control, and the assassination was of the eldest princess.

These things are really strange.

"Your Majesty, please go to Dongyi City to search the envoys. Even if it is not Yun Zhilan, it must be related to him!" Yan Xiaoyi said.

The names of ninth-rank masters are usually very famous, enough to be known throughout the country.

But when it comes to the number of ninth-grade masters, Dongyi City has the largest number.

There were more than a dozen ninth-grade warriors in Si Gu Jian's sword hut, so Yan Xiaoyi's suspicion was not unreasonable.

"Is there any evidence?" Emperor Qing asked back.

"Just find those three assassins!"

“What if we can’t find it?”

"This..." Yan Xiaoyi was choked.

He didn't think too much about it. He just wanted to find the assassin and bring him to justice.

"Three assassins broke into the palace late at night and escaped unscathed. If this gets out, where will the reputation of our Qing Kingdom be?!"

Emperor Qing's questioning caused the two men to kneel down and apologize.

Emperor Qing didn't say much to the two of them, just waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"Eunuch Hou, go and call Chen Pingping over."

There is too little information available now, and Emperor Qing has no way to make the right judgment.

And this feeling of losing control really made him dislike it.

"Yes!" Eunuch Hou went to do his work immediately.

Inspection Institute.

In the dean's office, Chen Pingping was talking privately with Fan Xian.

Fan Xian and Wu Zhu had just opened the box left by Ye Qingmei, and he knew the truth about this world.

In order to calm down, he rested for a while before coming to the Inspection Institute.

The reason I came here was, on the one hand, to listen to Qin Feng's words and come to find Chen Pingping.

On the other hand, he was also testing Chen Pingping to see if Chen Pingping was really reliable.

"Fan Xian, I'm glad you came to see me!"

Chen Pingping looked at Fan Xian and said, "But! I also told you not to trust anyone, including me!"

"You broke into the palace at night. If I report this to His Majesty, I can sentence you to death!"

Fan Xian was not panicked at all, and even smiled and said, "Of course I know, that's why I came to see you privately."

"That won't work either!" Chen Pingping said in a deep voice.

Fan Xian couldn't trust others so credulously, not even himself!

With this kind of personality, how can he be in charge of the Inspection Bureau in the future? !
No one should trust such a lone minister!

"But you don't have any evidence, and the commander of the Imperial Guards, Yan Xiaoyi, testified for me!" "Yan Xiaoyi?"

Hearing this, Fan Xian simply told Yan Xiaoyi how Yan Xiaoyi suspected him, and then came to his house, but in the end found nothing.

"Not really stupid." Chen Pingping nodded.

If Fan Xian does things without considering anything and just acts rashly, he will be very disappointed.

But now, judging from their conversation, they are not stupid. At least they will make arrangements in advance before doing anything.

"But you have to know that people's words are scary!"

Chen Pingping warned: "Evidence is actually nothing. Murder does not require evidence!"

"I will keep Dean Chen's teachings in mind!" Fan Xian bowed.

The fact that Chen Pingping could tell him all this showed that she had no intention of making a fuss about his case and that she was truly doing it for his own good.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Chen Pingping asked.

"I want to spread the news that Li Yunrui is colluding with Northern Qi! Actually, I have prepared everything, and I just need to finish the work. I need the help of Dean Chen."

"Also, I hope Li Yunrui gets out of Kyoto!"

"Okay!" Chen Pingping nodded.

He actually wanted to tell Fan Xian that this matter would not have much impact on the eldest princess.

The real way to deal with the eldest princess is to capture her informant in the Inspection Institute, which Emperor Qing will never allow.

But Chen Pingping did not say these things at this time, because these were the nutrients for Fan Xian's growth.

Experience more things and understand the principles behind them, so that you can stand on your own in the future.

Now he is still weak, so he has to do the job of sheltering from the wind and rain.

"That's the eldest princess, why don't you ask anything?" Fan Xian asked.

"No matter what your business is, I support you," Chen Pingping said with a smile.

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, then I would like to thank Dean Chen."

Just then, Shadow walked in and said.

"Dean, someone has come from the palace. His Majesty has summoned you."

"understood."

Chen Pingping smiled and said to Fan Xian, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Then, the shadow pushed him away.

Not long after, when Chen Pingping arrived at the palace, the streets were already covered with flyers scattered by Wuzhu.

The news of Li Yunrui's collusion with Northern Qi soon spread throughout Kyoto.

That afternoon, the Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi was arrested.

Afterwards, people from the Inspection Institute began to investigate the evidence of Li Yunrui's collusion with Northern Qi, especially the matter concerning Yan Bingyun.

Li Yunrui also felt a sense of urgency and began to work with Zhu Ge to take complete control of the Inspection Institute.

However, Chen Pingping had already set up the trap, and Li Yunrui and Zhu Ge were just trapped in the jar.

The next afternoon, Zhu Ge committed suicide "out of fear of crime" in the presence of Hong Sixiang.

That night, Li Yunrui was summoned by Emperor Qing, expelled from Kyoto, and ordered to set off for Xinyang early the next morning.

This matter is complicated. There are several forces playing games here. The eldest princess wants to control the Inspection Institute, Chen Pingping is lying in wait, Emperor Qing is secretly supporting him, and so on.

To put it simply, Li Yunrui touched something that Emperor Qing didn't want her to touch.

This sentence alone can summarize the turmoil of the past few days.

But in the end, Fan Xian succeeded.

But because of this incident, Li Yunrui had people report Fan Xian, saying that Fan Xian was also colluding with Northern Qi and wanted to ruin the marriage.

This is typical slander, three people make a tiger!
Chen Pingping had just warned Fan Xian that people's words were scary, and only a day or two had passed, but Fan Xian was forced into a state of great discomfort by the princess's use of this trick.

Emperor Qing then summoned Fan Xian into the palace, and used this as a handle to control Fan Xian, forcing him to choose to go on the diplomatic mission to Northern Qi!

Fan Mansion.

Fan Xian sat on the steps with a helpless look on his face, and Fan Ruoruo beside him comforted him.

"Brother, it's okay, good things come to those who wait!"

"Although being an envoy to Northern Qi is not a good thing, you should think positively. As long as you can come back, we can get married."

It seems that the mission to Northern Qi was Fan Xian's own choice, but in fact he was completely led by the nose.

Now that the decree had been issued, the matter was a foregone conclusion. He no longer had the ability to resist and could only accept his fate.

"makes sense!"

Fan Xian nodded helplessly and said, "You have to think positively. You can marry Wan'er when you come back."

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered what Qin Feng had said before.

We'll know in a few days. Could it be that Brother Ye is talking about his diplomatic mission to Northern Qi?

But this matter was only confirmed today, how did Brother Ye know about it?
It seems that there is still a long way to go between him and Brother Ye!
He couldn't figure this out anyway, but Brother Ye had said before that if there was anything, he could ask Uncle Wu Zhu to notify him.

The western outskirts of the city.

In the northwest corner of a manor, in the yard where Qin Feng rented a house.

"So, these so-called magic are martial arts?" Qin Feng looked at the English book in his hand and confirmed again.

In fact, before, through Anne's explanation, he had a certain understanding of magic.

But those understandings were relatively superficial. Now, after two days of study, his English level has improved by leaps and bounds and has reached the level of minor success.

Although he has not been able to fully understand this magic book, Qin Feng can understand most of the knowledge in it.

But now he is certain that there is no magic in this world as he thought.

Fireball? Frostbolt?
These magics do not exist at all.

Meditation does exist, but it simply increases the true energy. It does not have the effect of increasing mental strength like Qin Feng's visualization method.

The so-called magic is just another system of martial arts, it's just that you have gone astray!

"Yes, you can consider it martial arts." Annie nodded.

After spending these two days together, she gradually got to know Qin Feng.

As for her evaluation of Qin Feng, she only had two words to describe him: genius!
She actually thought she was a genius before, but now it seems to Annie that this so-called genius looks like a fool in front of Qin Feng!
In just three days, Qin Feng had almost mastered English and could have daily conversations with her, even with a standard accent.

Although he couldn't understand the magic book directly, he could understand most of it.

Anne estimated that there was no other genius like her in the world.

"Although it's weird, it's not without its merits!" Qin Feng nodded.

Among these magics, there is one called Eye of Exploration.

By using this magic, you can see how much true energy someone has and roughly predict their strength.

Of course, the observation effect of this magic is far inferior to Qin Feng's spiritual perception, and it is not very accurate, but no other martial arts can achieve this ability.

Also, Qin Feng discovered a very important point, that using these magics can mobilize the surrounding vitality.

This is an outrageous ability!

Although they, as warriors, can sense and absorb vital energy during their training, they can only sense those that come into contact with the surface of their body.

It is impossible to use it in an air-conditioned room!

Qin Feng could feel that if he could study this well, it would greatly enhance his strength.
