Chapter 129 Fan Xian assassinates Emperor Qing?

Fan Ruoruo is smart, but in Qin Feng's mind, this intelligence was superficial before.

Just like when you hear a teacher praising someone for being smart, you don't know how smart that person is exactly.

But now, Fan Ruoruo was able to guess his arrival, which could indeed be considered smart.

"Brother Ye, are you a Grandmaster now?!"

While walking quickly towards Qin Feng, Fan Ruoruo asked with surprise in her eyes.

Fan Ruoruo certainly knew that Qin Feng was a grandmaster, and now she was just confirming it again.

"Well, I broke through by luck." Qin Feng nodded with a smile.

"awesome!"

Fan Ruoruo's eyes lit up and she asked quickly, "How powerful is the Grand Master? I heard that he can control an entire country by himself. Is he really that powerful?"

In fact, only half of the reason why Fan Ruoruo was happy at this time was because Qin Feng had broken through to the Grandmaster level.

The other major reason is that Qin Feng has not changed after breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

When she first saw Qin Feng, Fan Ruoruo called him Brother Ye in surprise.

In fact, it was just a test to see if Qin Feng was the same as before.

If the other party acted like a grandmaster, Fan Ruoruo would naturally be extremely respectful, but she would feel less close to him in her heart.

But the other party agreed directly without changing his address or expression, which touched Fan Ruoruo deeply.

After all, this is a grandmaster, a legendary existence.

It's so rare to be as kind and friendly as before!
"I don't know if he can suppress an entire country, but the strength of a Grandmaster is indeed much stronger than that of a ninth-rank master."

Fan Ruoruo doesn't practice martial arts, so it's useless for Qin Feng to tell her how strong he is. He can just find someone she knows and compare them.

At this time, Fan Ruoruo suddenly remembered something and asked.

"By the way, Brother Ye, my brother was just summoned to the palace by His Majesty at the North Gate. Do you know about this?"

"I know." Qin Feng nodded.

"Will something happen to my brother?" Fan Ruoruo asked worriedly.

In recent days, the city of Kyoto seems to be very lively because of the appearance of Qin Feng, the fifth grandmaster, and countless people are discussing this matter.

But beneath the apparent bustle, there are undercurrents secretly.

Fan Jian had previously warned everyone at home not to go out recently, so at this moment, Fan Ruoruo was a little worried about Fan Xian's situation.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Fan Xian is the son of Emperor Qing, and he is still useful today. Emperor Qing will never kill him.

"That's great!" Fan Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief.

at the same time.

Kyoto, inside the Imperial Palace.

After Fan Xian and Ye Chong came in, Ye Chong completed his mission and left directly.

As for Fan Xian, he was led by a eunuch towards the east side of the palace.

"Eunuch, isn't this the way to the imperial study?" Fan Xian asked doubtfully.

Now that he is not attending court, Emperor Qing will naturally work in his favorite imperial study.

Although he entered the palace through the North Gate this time instead of the South Gate as he usually did, it was obvious at first glance that this route was not the way to the Imperial Study.

"His Majesty said that you should wait in Tai'an Palace for a while, and someone will come to pick you up." The eunuch said without turning his head.

Maybe he was receiving an important official, Prime Minister Lin? Or Qin Ye? Or Chen Pingping?

Thinking of this, Fan Xian didn't say much and followed the eunuch in front of him towards Tai'an Palace.

Soon, the two arrived at Tai'an Palace.

Fan Xian found that this place was empty, there was no one there, only the imperial guards guarding the gate.

"Master Fan, please wait here for a while. If you have anything to say, just tell the guards at the door."

"Thank you for leading the way, eunuch." Fan Xian bowed to express his gratitude.

Just like that, the eunuch left. Fan Xian was not idle in Tai'an Palace either. After eating something casually, he started to meditate and practice.

The Hunyuan Gong he practiced had extremely low requirements for the practice environment, and any free time could be used for practice, which was just the right time for him to kill.

While he was practicing there, outside Tai'an Palace, on the top of a large palace several miles away.

An old man dressed in green with a resolute face was silently observing Fan Xian and the entire palace!

That’s right, this person is Grand Master Ye Liuyun!
Before, Emperor Qing asked Hong Sixiang to find him secretly, and he has been staying in the palace.

He conspired with Emperor Qing to kill Qin Feng!

Through deduction and speculation, they made a comprehensive simulation of Qin Feng's situation.

In the end, it was discovered that Qin Feng was most likely related to Wu Zhu, and was very likely to be on the opposite side of Emperor Qing.

Therefore, what they have to do now is to find a way to lure Qin Feng to the palace, and then work together to surround and kill him!

This man's influence on the current situation is really too great. He even fought with Ku He to a draw. The threat he poses is no less than Ku He. He must be killed!
Before this, Emperor Qing had transferred most of the imperial guards out of the palace, and the concubines in the harem were also sent out for fun.

Today, Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun patrolled the palace many times to make sure Wuzhu was not there.

Of course, Ye Liuyun was the only one on this patrol at the beginning.

After hearing from the other party that Wuzhu was definitely not there, Emperor Qing personally inspected the place and found that everything was safe.

"Fan Xian has arrived?"

Emperor Qing came to Ye Liuyun's side at some point and looked towards Tai'an Palace.

"We're here. We can start implementing the plan!" Ye Liuyun nodded.

"be prepared."

After saying this, Emperor Qing returned to the imperial study.

He said to Hong Sixiang who had been waiting for a long time: "Let's start!"

"Yes!"

Hong Sixiang agreed and turned away.

Tai'an Palace.

Fan Xian didn't know how long he had been practicing, when he suddenly heard someone outside shouting, "There's an assassin! There's an assassin!"

"Assassin?!" Fan Xian stood up suddenly and wanted to go out to see what was going on.

But the next second, the shouting outside changed.

"Fan Xian assassinated His Majesty!"

"Fan Xian assassinated His Majesty!"

"Fan Xian assassinated His Majesty!"

Fan Xian: “???”

What the hell? Wasn't he in Tai'an Palace? How could he suddenly assassinate His Majesty? This is simply nonsense!
Thinking about this, Fan Xian prepared to go out and see what was going on.

At this moment, the imperial guards at the door came towards the hall one after another.

One of them said, "My Lord, be careful! An assassin has entered the palace!"

Eh? No?

Don’t you know me?

Fan Xian was confused.

People outside are shouting that Fan Xian is going to assassinate His Majesty, and you are here to protect His Majesty, but you don't even know my name? !
Or is this a setup, all done on purpose?

While he was thinking about this, someone among the imperial guards actually attacked Fan Xian directly.

kindness?
Fan Xian used his Qing Kung Fu to dodge easily, and at the same time he punched out, sending the man flying several meters away. It was obvious that he was doomed.

What does this mean? Why would a seventh-rank warrior also come to assassinate him?
"Sir, are you okay?"

"Wait! Don't move!" Seeing that the others were about to come over, Fan Xian shouted. Who knows if the others are assassins, and the situation is too weird, he no longer has the trust he had in the imperial guards.

"Everyone! Get out!" Fan Xian pointed at them and said.

He stayed far away from all the imperial guards and did not dare to get close.

Just at this moment, someone was shouting outside.

"The assassin is in Tai'an Palace!"

"The assassin is in Tai'an Palace!"

"The assassin is in Tai'an Palace!"

Fan Xian: “???”

At this moment, he was certain that he had really entered a trap set against him.

East Palace.

"What?! Fan Xian assassinated His Majesty?! How is this possible?!"

When the prince heard the news, his face was full of confusion.

Fan Xian is the chief envoy to Northern Qi. He was summoned by His Majesty this time, most likely to be rewarded.

But it has only been a short time since then, and news has already come out that Fan Xian assassinated Emperor Qing.

Strange!
It's so weird!
How could Fan Xian possibly assassinate His Majesty? It doesn't make sense!

Fan Xian has made outstanding contributions and is also known as the disciple of the Grand Master, so there is no need for him to do these things.

So, whether it was Fan Xian's assassination of Emperor Qing or the speed at which the news spread, it was very strange!
It was as if a big show had already been set up, waiting for Fan Xian to begin.

"Hurry! I want to go to the palace to see His Majesty!"

The prince set out in a hurry and headed towards the palace.

For such a major event, he would definitely go to the palace to take a look. If something happened, he would have to react quickly.

Among Emperor Qing's many sons, the Crown Prince is the most like him. They are both power-seeking creatures with only power in their eyes.

Soon, the prince arrived at the gate of the imperial city, but he was stopped and not allowed to enter.

"His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace without permission!" The imperial guards looked stern and did not care about his identity as the crown prince at all.

Li Chengqian was a little confused about this. Why was he not allowed in? Did something really happen in the palace?
Just as he was thinking, Li Chengze came.

He also wanted to go to the palace to see the situation, but he was stopped again.

Originally, the prince felt a little unbalanced, but after seeing this scene, he felt much better instantly.

At least Emperor Qing was fair and didn't let anyone in.

"Second brother, did you receive the news too?" the prince went up to greet him.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well-informed." Li Chengze laughed.

"Fan Xian assassinated His Majesty, do you believe it?"

"Do you believe it?" Li Chengze asked back.

The prince did not answer, but just smiled, and Li Chengze also laughed.

Only a fool would believe such a thing.

It is precisely because of this that something big must have happened in the palace.

As time went by, the news of Fan Xian's assassination of Emperor Qing quickly spread throughout Kyoto, causing an uproar in the city.

But soon, another piece of news came out.

There was an assassin who came to assassinate Emperor Qing, but it was not Fan Xian. Instead, someone pretended to be Fan Xian to assassinate him. It was a typical frame-up.

Not only that, Emperor Qing was not the only one who was assassinated, Fan Xian was also assassinated.

This news spread quickly in Kyoto, and the Fan family naturally also received the news.

"Brother Ye! Something bad has happened!"

Fan Ruoruo ran in from outside the yard, looking anxious.

He said to Qin Feng: "It is said outside that my brother assassinated Emperor Qing, and then said that my brother was assassinated. Which of these things are true and which are false?"

The main reason is that this matter is too confusing and its authenticity is questionable.

With Fan Xian's current identity, it is impossible for him to assassinate others.

Moreover, news of the assassination of the emperor is always of top importance and it is impossible for it to be known to everyone like it is now.

Then there is only one possibility, this news was released deliberately by someone just to fish for bait!
As for who is the fish, anyone who is not a fool can guess that Qin Feng is the fish that was caught.

A series of news about Fan Xian were released, some true and some false, which aroused people's curiosity.

If Qin Feng was fooled and went to the palace to investigate in person, he would be walking into a trap.

"It's all just fake news. It's the calculation of people with ulterior motives. Don't pay attention to it." Qin Feng waved his hand and said.

He guessed that this was a trap set by Emperor Qing specifically for him.

As for what was in the pit, he had no idea, but he could roughly guess that Ye Liuyun had also come to the palace.

After all, the only ones who can kill a grandmaster are grandmasters, and there are multiple grandmasters at that.

If Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun join forces, wouldn't Qin Feng be seeking death by entering the palace?

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Emperor Qing wants to talk to him, not to kill him.

But Qin Feng was too lazy to talk to Emperor Qing. He knew that this man was good at calculating. Qin Feng didn't want to be led by his words. Not meeting him was the best choice!

"That's right."

Fan Ruoruo said this and handed the dessert in her hand to Qin Feng.

The reason she left just now was to go to the kitchen to get something for Qin Feng. She heard these things on her way back.

"I just don't know if this incident will affect my brother?" Fan Ruoruo was still a little worried.

"Of course not. This is probably just a misunderstanding."

After Qin Feng knew that it was fishing, there was only one thing he had to do, and that was to sit back and wait.

He doesn't care about anything else!
Lin Xiangfu.

Yuan Hongdao was playing chess with Lin Xiang.

But both of them were a little confused and didn't play chess very well.

"This son-in-law is now a disciple of the grandmaster. Why doesn't he give any reaction?" Yuan Hongdao asked.

Two pieces of news came out from the palace in succession. Lin Wan'er came to the Prime Minister's residence to ask for help, but Prime Minister Lin remained unmoved.

"Does my reaction matter? It's enough to show concern for your majesty."

Prime Minister Lin said: "The Crown Prince and the Second Prince are both unable to enter the palace. This seems fishy, ​​but I just can't figure out the reason behind it."

It's normal to not be able to figure it out. After all, in the whole of Kyoto, who could have predicted that Ye Liuyun would come back?
Even Qin Feng was just guessing.

"It's a bit strange indeed. Is your Majesty injured?"

"Is this important?"

Prime Minister Lin shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see what your majesty's attitude is."

To be honest, unless Emperor Qing is dead, the most important thing in this matter is his attitude.

Assassination? That's just a cover!
"But I also need to prepare in advance. Let's not play chess anymore and go into the palace." Prime Minister Lin put down the chess piece and said in a deep voice.

The most important thing for him now is that he cannot see through Emperor Qing’s thoughts. If he knew Emperor Qing’s purpose, Prime Minister Lin would cater to it in advance.

Under such circumstances, as long as his son Lin Gong has made meritorious service, he might have a chance to be released.

Inspection Institute.

In the dean's office, Chen Pingping was very anxious.

But there was no point in his anxiety, because Emperor Qing had issued an edict in advance, forbidding the Inspection Institute to make any changes.

Besides, this is a palace matter, and the Inspection Bureau doesn’t have the courage to go to the palace to investigate.
