As night falls, the night bustle in Xianyang City begins.
The lights lit up in every house are like stars embedded in the earth.
When midnight is approaching, the hustle and bustle finally stops, and the tranquility of the night finally returns.
Xie Yunxiao changed into black clothes, put on a black hat, and covered his face with a black cloth. He came out through the back door of Zhuoyuan, and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Because he already had a certain understanding of this mansion during the day, Xie Yunxiao did not continue to stay there, but went straight to the small courtyard.
At night, this courtyard is quieter than anywhere else, but the lights in the house are still on at this time. A long shadow of a figure is printed on the door and window. Judging from the shadow, the person in the house is Prime Minister Ning Guo. No.
Working hard day and night, working hard day and night, is the impression of the officials. Serving the country and the people, and worrying about the people of the world, is the evaluation of the people.
It has been fifteen years since Yu Buwei became the prime minister of Ning State. In the next ten years, Yu Buwei's curses were rarely heard either in the court or among the people.
Xie Yunxiao had to admire that this world-famous prime minister indeed had extraordinary means.
Of course, there is no denying what he did for the people of Ningguo.
Thinking of this, Xie Yunxiao's eyes glowed with complexity. No one in this world is perfect, and the same is true for people like Yu Buwei.
Until now, Xie Yunxiao still couldn't see through this Prime Minister of Ning State.
If he really became an enemy, he would definitely be a strong enemy.
While thinking about it, a long time had passed, the lights in the room had been extinguished, and Yu Buwei had obviously rested and fallen asleep.
Xie Yunxiao did not rush forward, but waited for nearly a stick of incense before going up and quietly opening the door and entering the dark room.
Xie Yunxiao walked through the house during the day and knew where there were hidden compartments and where things could be hidden.
At that moment, he walked to the bed and took a look. Yu Buwei was already asleep.
The prime minister's cultivation was not low. He had to arrange some means. After doing what he had to do, he began to open the secret compartments. From one of the secret compartments, Xie Yunxiao found the third key.
As long as the key is returned before dawn, Yu Buwei will definitely not find out.
Taking the key, Xie Yunxiao quietly exited the house.
When he was about to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw a man in black dressed similar to himself, heading towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xie Yunxiao's eyes flickered slightly. No matter what this person was here for, once he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and made a noise, if Yu Buwei got up to check the key, there would be no way to take the key away quietly.
The best way to solve the problem at the moment is to block this person and not allow him to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Xie Yunxiao didn't hesitate at all. He flipped and landed in front of the man.
This man was dressed in black clothes, wearing a black hat, and his face was covered with a black cloth. When he saw a man dressed like himself suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes suddenly showed horror. Without saying a word, he gathered strength with his hands and pushed out.
As soon as Xie Yunxiao's feet touched the roof, he paused slightly, raised his right hand, and gathered his palm strength to attack.
With a bang, the man was suddenly shaken and flew backwards.
Xie Yunxiao chased him out at an extremely fast speed. At this time, he was already dozens of feet away from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The two fell into the alley, fighting fiercely with each other's anger.
"Who are you?" The person opposite spoke first.
Xie Yunxiao said lightly: "Who are you?"
The other party snorted coldly, shook his hands, and several rays of cold light shot out, all of which were poison-quenching hidden weapons.
Xie Yunxiao used his hands to push forward, and with strong palm strength, he knocked down the hidden weapons that were shot out one by one. At the same time, Xie Yunxiao took a step forward, and the momentum from his body surged out like a river bursting through its banks.
The man suddenly showed a look of horror, and with a slight scolding, a long sword was struck out, and the bright sword light illuminated the dim street.
Xie Yunxiao's expression remained unchanged, he raised his right hand, condensed sword energy on his fingertips and shot out.
With a sneer, the sword light from this man suddenly collapsed, and a strong force hit the hilt of the sword. At that moment, his hand holding the sword trembled involuntarily, and he almost couldn't hold the sword.
"You are in the Sixth Realm!" the man shouted loudly.
Xie Yunxiao smiled and said: "You don't seem to be able to see enough of the Seventh Realm!"
"Seeking death!" The man roared, jumped up, clenched the long sword with both hands and slashed down. The bright sword light was like a falling waterfall, and the thick and sharp energy was released, stabbing the void with continuous sounds.
Xie Yunxiao tilted his body slightly and took a step away to get out of the way of the attack. At the same time, his left sleeve floated and swept towards the man in black in the air.
The man suddenly felt an indescribable life and death crisis. He paused in the air, turned around, and moved out at an extremely fast speed.
His cultivation level was obviously higher than that of Xie Yunxiao, but at this moment, he was being suppressed and beaten by Xie Yunxiao, so it was difficult to maintain a stable mind.
"That's it? Do you still have the guts to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Xie Yunxiao's words were obviously a test.
"How did you... know that I was going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" The man couldn't calm down and took a few steps back involuntarily.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Are you trying to steal the Prime Minister's key?"
Although this man's face was covered, the ever-changing look in his eyes gave him away.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Do you think that as long as the Prime Minister loses the key, the King will be furious and it is possible to remove the Prime Minister from his post?"
"You..." The man in black already had panic in his eyes. He didn't expect Xie Yunxiao to be able to reveal the secret hidden in his heart with one word.
"Now that I know this, I have no reason to let you continue to live!" This man suddenly released an indescribable coldness, and his aura was rising.
Although he has cultivated in the seventh realm, the powerful power of law and true energy flowing at this time has reached the edge of the eighth realm.
"It's a secret technique that forcibly improves one's cultivation. I think this secret technique will have serious side effects after being used!" Xie Yunxiao said calmly.
The man snorted coldly and said, "This is not an issue you should be concerned about, because you can't see it!"
The sound came out and he was seen holding the sword with both hands and slashing it down.
The power of this sword is enough to split mountains and crack rocks.
It's a pity that he didn't know that Xie Yunxiao could even fight against a strong man from the Eighth Realm, not to mention that his power was only infinitely close to the Eighth Realm.
Xie Yunxiao paused slightly, clenched his fists, and the strong true energy flowed, and his fists suddenly glowed with sharp light. The fist force was as strong as the Yangtze River, and under Xie Yunxiao's control, it surged like a strong wind. out.
The two forces met, and with a bang, chaotic energy spread out in all directions. The man in black with the sword suddenly let out a muffled grunt and flew backwards.
The horror in his eyes was indescribable. He thought that after using secret techniques to improve his cultivation, he would be able to kill Xie Yunxiao effortlessly. Who would have thought of such a result?
At this moment, the man didn't hesitate at all. He paused, turned around and disappeared into the night sky.
Xie Yunxiao knew that this person would probably not come to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight after this battle.
He didn't catch up, because right now, there were more important things.
Xie Yunxiao tidied up his clothes and hurried to Tingwei's mansion.
Earlier, Xie Yunxiao told Xue Ju to wait tonight. After he found all the keys, he came to Tingwei Mansion to meet him.
The hour was about to pass, but Xie Yunxiao still hadn't arrived, and Xue Ju was in a state of confusion.
"Don't let anything happen!" Xue Ju squeezed his hands tightly under his sleeves, showing how nervous he was.
At this moment, Chen Baichuan pushed open the door of the room. Xue Ju was refreshed. He turned around and looked at Chen Baichuan. His eyes were full of hope and he asked, "Are you here?"
Chen Baichuan shook his head and said, "Not yet, sir. Although Mr. Xie is powerful, given his status, it is not easy to get the other two keys!"
These three keys are related to the Ningguo treasury. Xue Ju naturally knows that it is not easy to get the keys quietly.
At this time, he regretted that he did not check it carefully when he entered the treasury. If he could be sure that there was no problem with the treasury, Xie Yunxiao would not have to take such a big risk.
But in just a moment, Xue Ju gave up these messy thoughts.
Because he knows that everyone's method of investigating a case is different. Even if he is sure that there is no problem with the treasury, Xie Yunxiao will most likely go to the treasury to take a look.
"I know it's not easy, but now we should choose to believe Mr. Xie!" Xue Ju said.
When Chen Baichuan heard this, there was a look of helplessness in his eyes. Although he had the reputation of being a great catcher, he still had no clue about this case.
"Sir, maybe we can report to the king and check that Chu Dongshan!" Chen Baichuan said.
Xue Ju said: "There is a problem with Chu Dongshan, that's for sure, but Gan Chenlan kept him in the Gan family on the grounds of protection. If we can't find out the problem, we will be the unlucky ones. The clouds in the court are treacherous right now, Once we fall into the trap, we will definitely be attacked immediately, or even plotted against, and by then, we will only cause trouble for the king!"
When Chen Baichuan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The prince's seizure of the legitimate son caused turmoil in the entire Ning Kingdom. If other countries knew about the situation in the Ning Kingdom's court at this time, it would be very bad.
"Perhaps other countries are similar to Ning Kingdom!" Chen Baichuan thought in his mind.
The bustling world is all for profit, and the bustling world is all for profit. If there is a country that is special and has probably surpassed the other six countries, then this country will sooner or later be able to unify the other six countries and bring order to this fragmented world. , unified again.
"Subordinate, go out and take a look!" Chen Baichuan said.
Xue Ju nodded and watched Chen Baichuan leave. He couldn't help but take out the key in his hand, his eyes flashing with sharp light.
After Chen Baichuan came out, he walked to the front of the hall and went to the office of Tingwei Mansion tonight. Most of them did not rest.
In addition, in order to ensure Du Xin's safety, Xue Ju also asked King Ning for a lot of Xuanjia guards. Chen Baichuan was not worried about anyone coming to make trouble. What he was worried about was that Xie Yunxiao couldn't get the key.
At this moment, a figure flashed like a shooting star and appeared in front of the gate of Tingwei Mansion.
Chen Baichuan was standing at the gate at this moment. His heart was shocked and a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Mr. Xie, you are finally here!"
Xie Yunxiao smiled and said: "Captain Chen is worried that I won't be able to come up tonight?"
