This night.
There is an undercurrent surging in the capital.
People who are close to Xuantiansi can vaguely hear the sounds of people and horses moving around, and the rustling of footsteps on the tiles...
It was Liu Yexi who was quietly setting up defenses.
Several major courtiers in Jingguo secretly deployed guards, replacing ordinary government soldiers with well-trained envoys.
I guess as long as I don't come from the Imperial Realm.
With mental arithmetic and no intention, it is not impossible to leave behind the attacking killer!
...
Gu Mansion.
A certain peerless strong man supported the empress, but he was still as fierce as ever.
And the General Wuwei Mansion is far away from here.
The secret room is also brightly lit!
There were three of them.
Wu Fan was wearing casual clothes and sitting at the main seat.
There were two young people in the guest seats.
One person was wearing the clothes of Dayu, with a hint of nobility between his brows. It was Fang Yun, the saintly son of Fang Yun who bid farewell to Emperor Yu that day and volunteered to come to Jingguo!
The other man wore a bamboo hat and black clothes.
Can't see face clearly.
It just gives people a very cold feeling!
He was one of the night travelers who happened to be seen by Gu Lan during the day.
"Brother Fang, this general will not interfere with the enshrinement of the mysterious Tianji Pavilion... This is what I said in the letter!"
Wu Fan cupped his hands.
Let’s put the ugly words first.
"rest assured!"
Fang Yun waved his hand expressionlessly: "Even if you want to interfere, I don't dare. Our Imperial Master has suffered so much... We can't afford to offend such a person!"
"That's good!"
Wu Fan was relieved after the matter was settled.
After all, his purpose was just to use Dayu's power to control Jingguo.
Naturally, we can't avoid the grudges against the Yu Dynasty and the peerless powerful man!
"What are Mr. Fang's plans for the assassination?"
The hoarse voice of the night traveler sounded.
He did not ask Wu Fan as the master.
Because the night traveler offers a reward.
Responsible only to the publisher.
"Brother Yin can stay in General Wu's residence temporarily. General Wu will have to draw up specific plans for the next actions."
Fang Yun finished speaking.
Introducing the Night Walker to Wu Fan:
"General Wu, this brother's name is Yin Liang, one of the thirty-six killers of the Night Traveler. This trip also brought many killers of the earth name, who can be a powerful help!"
"Oh, brother Yin Liang, nice to meet you!"
Wu Fan clasped his fists.
Yin Liang just nodded and said nothing.
"Actually, the plan is very simple. Now that Empress Jiaqing is back, our idea of siegeing the city with private soldiers and seizing power has come to nothing... For the current plan, we can only kill the members of the opposing party between the DPRK and me first, and then slowly plan for it."
"The Prime Minister's Party?"
Fang Yun had obviously done some homework on the Jingguo Court.
"The biggest enemies are them, but they are not the only ones!" There was a murderous look in Wu Fan's eyes.
"And the Taifu and the Jingguo literary world he represents?"
"That's right!"
There was a hint of sinisterness in Wu Fan's eyes: "As long as the Jingguo scholars still exist, even if a batch of them are killed, countless batches will appear in the future!"
Fang Yun shook his head: "If we kill them, there will be too much noise. It is unrealistic to do it now!"
"I didn't ask you to come."
Wu Fan smiled and said: "I'm just saying that the private soldiers I trained will not be moved for this operation, and I will keep them for the future to kill all those scumbags..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet!
I heard Yin Liang next to me laugh sadly: "General Wu is so calculating. After all that, you just want to use my Night Walker killer this time, right?"
Wu Fan was stunned for a moment and chuckled.
Noncommittal!
Yin Liang snorted coldly!
At this time.
Fang Yun came out to smooth things over and said: "Brother Yin, just listen to what General Wu said... After the matter is completed, I, Fengyun Holy Land, will give you double the reward!"
Double the reward, these people are killers who lick blood for money, so the temptation is quite strong!
Besides, with Fang Shengzi, the task should not be difficult to kill a few officials... Yin Liang hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Who to kill first?"
Seeing his promise, Wu Fan raised the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Capture the thief first, capture the king...after five days, kill the Prime Minister!"
As soon as Sima Qin died, the empress lost her right-hand man!
When the time comes, only Wu Fan's accomplices will be appointed to the six ministries in the court, and he will be the uncrowned king just around the corner!
"good!"
"At that time, I will go out together with the famous killer to try to kill him with one blow!"
...
these two days.
Gu Lan concentrated on reading and silently counted the spoiler rewards.
The treasure bones are useless for the time being, but because they belong to the fire attribute beast Golden Crow, maybe they can be used by the little phoenix that is born in the future...
He was already familiar with those immortal arts and techniques.
At this moment, Gu Lan was still hesitating where to add the crystal free attribute point in the system space.
After all, the outside world has never heard of this stuff.
It can make any treasure weapon rise to any high level, and the effect is unparalleled!
"If the Hongmeng Sword and the Heaven-Slaying Dragon Roaring Spear are blessed, they will definitely break through their original grades and reach the Xuantian Treasure!"
if that is the case!
Less than half a month later, on the list of secret treasures, my own magic weapon will be able to defeat the national weapons of all major dynasties, shocking the world!
Think of this!
Gu Lan's eyes were filled with heat, and he finally chose... to add free attribute points to that golden robe of merit!
"Fuck! What's the use of being in the limelight? It's necessary to increase life-saving means!"
Gu Lan saw that the free attribute points and the golden robe of merit were smoothly integrated.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The current protagonist has probably come out of the small fishing village in the East China Sea, right?
Maybe there will be some treasure!
We can’t lag behind either!
Gu Lan felt the Sanskrit characters on the golden robe light up, and a burst of Buddha's light shone. The energy contained in it and its level had skyrocketed!
Faintly.
Gu Lan felt that this thing did not seem to belong to the strength of this world...
He was staring at the golden robe in trance.
A beautiful figure appeared silently at the door of the room.
Mu Yuyan stewed a bowl of pigeon soup. Looking at the golden robe of merit in Gu Lan's hand, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly!
Although the collection of books in Jingguo is not as complete as Tianji Pavilion, this object has not yet been recorded.
But she could feel how extraordinary this treasure was!
Even stronger than the Xuantian Treasure!
Mu Yuyan was extremely surprised.
but.
When she looked back.
Gu Lan had already put away his golden robe and continued to hold up the scroll, returning to his ordinary and handsome appearance.
"Forget it, if my husband wants to say something, he will definitely tell me."
Mu Yuyan shook her head.
She knew she was not qualified to ask Gu Lan anything.
After all, it was a marriage from the beginning.
She is hiding the identity of the empress...
"Gu Lang, I've made some soup. Let's have a bowl of it while it's hot." Mu Yuyan walked into the study with gentle eyes and put the soup on the table.
She walked up behind Gu Lan and gently rubbed his shoulders with her beautiful hands.
"Yeah, it tastes good."
Gu Lan smiled sincerely, enjoying the brainwaves, and said softly: "Madam, I heard from Lao Yang, is our new teahouse going to open tomorrow?"
"yes."
"I'll go with you."
Gu Lan said.
In the past, when a new teahouse opened, Mu Yuyan, as the proprietress, would always make an appearance.
Mu Yuyan was startled when she heard this!
Recalling what he said a few days ago to be careful of night killers and not to go out alone... I immediately understood his intention of accompanying him out.
"When I was in Langzhou, I thought you were a mortal scholar and sent people to protect you. Now in the capital, you want to protect me..."
Mu Yuyan pursed her lips slightly, feeling confused in her heart.
But it is precisely this kind of silent rush that can more easily touch the softest part of people's hearts!
"good!"
Mu Yuyan smiled and said.
Thinking that Liu Yexi has almost completed the defense arrangements in the capital recently.
It's also time to go shopping with Gu Lan and relax... After all, practicing in the bedroom every day is too hard!
"Ms. sir, have some soup."
Mu Yuyan sat on Gu Lan's lap, spoke softly, and brought the soup to Gu Lan's mouth.
Gu Lan glanced at her, then smiled and shook his head: "No, I want to drink imported soup."
Mu Yuyan was stunned, her beautiful eyes puzzled.
"What is import?"
"Importing, in my hometown, means coming in for trade from other countries."
"Oh...but this soup is made by me, so it can't come from another country?"
"Ha, in that case, it has to be literal."
"Huh?...Hmm!"
...
During the days of confinement.
Wu Yuan was almost going crazy in the house!
If the servants hadn't stopped him so hard, he almost would have attacked Wu Fan's side room.
Afterwards, Wu Yuan beat the servant!
It’s the fourth day!
The servant couldn't bear it anymore, and he would be beaten to death sooner or later if he didn't want to do anything, so he bribed the concierge and quietly brought Wu Yuan out.
"Sir, let's not cause trouble when we come out this time, otherwise our little head will be chopped off by the general!"
"Hey, don't worry!"
Wu Yuan chuckled and patted his shoulder.
It's so comfortable to breathe in the air outside the General's Mansion!
"Then...Master, where are you going this time?"
Wu Yuan thought for a while, his eyes burning: "Of course we have to go to Miaoyin Pavilion. I haven't seen Miss Fei'er for so long. I miss you so much!"
"Sir, aren't you afraid that the general will break your legs if he finds out that you went to Miaoyin Pavilion?"
"Hmph! The old guy will definitely not know this time!"
Wu Yuan confidently said.
The servant looked puzzled!
"A few days ago, I heard a guy in black clothes and a hat conspiring with the old man. They are going to do something big tonight and have no time to worry about me!"
Do something big... The servant's heart skipped a beat: "Oh, oh, that would be great..."
"What are you doing standing still? Let's go! The sun is just rising now. If we go early, we can have fun all afternoon!"
Wu Yuan trotted in the direction of Miaoyin Pavilion!
...
And at the same time!
This day at noon.
Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan arrived at the newly built teahouse.
A great opening.
Lao Yangtou and Lin Tan'er were busy greeting the guests downstairs. They also invited a storyteller to sit on the stage and talk with a piece of wood.
How lively!
Mu Yuyan, who was dressed appropriately, accompanied Gu Lan to the second floor. The two cuddled up and looked at the surrounding scenery.
This is a busy city.
It is adjacent to Xizhi Street. Looking across the railing, you can see the colorful silks and satins on the Miaoyin Pavilion over there.
And the faint smell of powder.
Whether it is the tea house, Miaoyin Pavilion, or Chunyue Tower on the other side, you can see the rushing Changting River and the floating arena of flowers like small islands on it!
On the ring, there are already people fighting and discussing.
They were wearing various costumes.
There are casual cultivators in the martial arts world, disciples of the sects within the Dajing Dynasty, and students from the Jixia Martial Arts Palace!
"It seems like these people have already started competing for the position on the Tianji Ranking?"
Gu Lan murmured softly.
"Well, that's right."
Mu Yuyan smiled back and explained softly:
"People in the world spend their whole lives just for this reputation. If they really get on the list of Tianji Pavilion, they will be famous for hundreds of generations. Everyone will respect them, and even the imperial court will reuse them!"
"Does your wife understand you so well?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Lan's eyes, and he chuckled: "My lady, staying in the house, actually knows so much about the world and the temples?"
"Ah, I...before I met my husband, I also traveled around the world, so I know a little bit about it."
Mu Yuyan bit her lip and explained casually.
After hearing this, Gu Lan nodded.
The couple continued to sit down and drink tea.
At this time!
Hearing the storyteller downstairs, Xingmu slapped the table and began to tell a current story in the capital.
"Everyone, please listen!"
"Today we will talk about the peerless powerful man who is famous all over the world. He is now living in seclusion in the capital and is enshrined in Tianji Pavilion..."
