Chapter 35 – Who is the Assassin?

It was not known whether the little courtesan from earlier had gone to report a message, or whether the courtesan expert who had died by his own hand was playing a suspicious game, but Fan Xian knew that this fight, even though he hadn’t let this courtesan expert make a sound, would surely have alerted the real high ranking person in the palace, so he didn’t even bother to deal with the corpses on the ground, and with a point of his toes on the flagstone floor, the whole person had already transformed into a sharp arrow, and dashed in the direction of the palace wall he had planned to go. Darted away.

The palace wall was still as high as ever, and Fan Xian was a little annoyed at his own speed, and when he had managed to climb to the top of the wall, he only heard a buzzing sound coming from behind his head, and it seemed that the air behind him began to shiver with trembling.

He turned back in dismay, and then looked at the corner tower of the palace city in the extreme distance, there was a great general, who was looking at himself with his bow drawn.

In the night sky, a feathered arrow flew towards his face like a soul-devouring divine object!

A breath ago, the arrow was in the sky, a breath later, the arrow was in front of him.

The arrow seemed to have a hostile soul on it, unbeatable. Fan Xian let out a wild roar, the black scarf on his face was shaken to pieces by this roar, and the nameless overbearing true qi in his body, which he had been silently practicing for sixteen years, was wildly and violently infused into his hands at this moment of life and death.

Both fists struck each other across the air, coincidentally hitting the arrow shaft!

In a few moments, the berserk true qi held by both fists collided with the powerful force attached to the arrow, and the arrow shaft had shattered into powder, the arrow narrowly brushing past Fan Xian’s hair and piercing through the night sky from afar!

A loud sound resounded through the night sky of the Imperial City, waking up those who were asleep and horrifying those who were awake, like a thunderbolt striking above the palace walls.

This arrow is too fierce, not like a mortal can shoot, after the double fists hard block, Fan Xian body true qi empty, disheveled powerless fell down the palace wall, black clothes in the night wind fluttering, looks very miserable.

Yan Xiaoyi, the palace’s grand inner commander on the corner tower of the distant palace wall, watched the assassin of that party fall down the palace wall, his eyes narrowed slightly, transmitting an extremely strong divine splendor, and he coldly said, “Not dead, go and catch him.”

“Yes!” The subordinate guards led the order and went.

Under that side of the palace wall, Fan Xian, who was fully clothed in black night clothes, crashed down, and in the moment when he was about to smash into the ground, he forced his body to twist, and supported himself on one knee, one foot, one hand, and collided with the ground with a muffled sound, and the powerful recoil caused him to spurt out a mouthful of fresh blood, which dampened the remaining pieces of black cloth on his face. Immediately afterward, he let out a low roar and ran towards the woods outside the palace walls, disappearing into the dark night of Kyoto a split second before the guards at the corner of the city appeared.

On the second day, in an inconspicuous small room under the root of the Imperial City. Elder Eunuch Hong seemed to be in some bad spirits, sitting on the main seat with his eyes half-closed. The two generals below were also resting with their eyes closed, and no one seemed willing to speak.

It was only after a long time that Vice Commander Gong Dian, who had rested at home last night, said softly, “Your Majesty is shocked.”

It was only then that Yan Xiaoyi, the Great Inner Commander who had shot Fan Xian off the wall with an arrow last night, slowly opened his eyes and said coldly, “The Eldest Princess is furious that one of her personal palace maids has died.”

Only after the duo spoke did Elder Eunuch Hong slowly open his eyes, his somewhat aged voice saying, “I fell for the trick of transferring the tiger away from the mountain yesterday, the Empress Dowager, her old man, is very unhappy.”

“Who was it?” Gong Dian asked as a matter of course, in his mind, even if it was a tiger transfer, but being targeted by a supreme expert like Eunuch Hong who was still a tiger in his illness, there was no possibility of escape.

“I don’t know.” Eunuch Hong smiled faintly, “The level he showed was only between the middle and upper ninth grade, but he was very familiar with the buildings in Kyoto, especially in the darkness of the night, I was led by him around Kyoto for a whole circle, and eventually lost him, this person …… is remarkable.”

To be able to make Eunuch Hong say terrific. That person must be truly remarkable.

Yan Xiaoyi was thirty-five years old this year, precisely when the Essence Seed Qi was at its peak, as the palace guards’ Grand Commander, he had to take up the responsibility of the safety of the entire palace, he coldly glanced at Elder Eunuch Hong, and said, “Where did the Eunuch finally follow him to?”

“An alleyway not far from the Dongyi City Mission.”

Gong Dian said, “The results of today’s investigation have come out, Eunuch Hong’s pair of chopsticks pierced the clothes of the first assassin, and after comparing them, the Supervisory Yuan confirmed that they came from Xianghe Satin.”

Yan Xiaoyi began to close his eyes. Gong Dian continued, “The Supervisory Academy found out that the Dongyi City Mission had ordered a batch of clothes from Tianxiang Duan some time ago, and that it was not in the name of the mission, but rather, they had gotten someone to help them order them.”

Eunuch Hong asked softly, “What does the Vice Commander want to clarify?”

Gong Dian smiled and said, “To order clothes, why would one even assume someone else’s name? Obviously, it’s for fear that some subtle traces will be caught by us. From all the clues, the assassin who came for the first time should be someone from Dongyi City. To be able to have the caliber of a Ninth Grade Medium, there is only that first disciple of the Four Gu Swords, Yun Zhilan, who has been incredibly quiet in Kyoto these days.”

Yan Xiaoyi suddenly opened his eyes and said, “It’s not Yun Zhilan. If the people of Dongyi City wanted to sneak into the palace, what new clothes would they need to buy, just knock out a random pedestrian on the street and strip him of his clothes, Yun Zhilan is this kind of dry person.”

Eunuch Hong nodded: “Although that Ninth Pinzhong hides his sword intent, he still walks the path of the Four Gu Swords, so I’m very interested, if it’s not Yun Zhilan, could it be that there are others from Dongyi City who came and dared to disobey Yun Zhilan’s orders?”

“The possibility of graft is high.” Gong Dian frowned slightly as he listened to the two, “It’s too coincidental, so it could be that someone framed Yun Zhilan.”

“How many people in Dong Yi City are likely to take over the mantle of the Four Gu Swords?”

“Three Ninth Ranks including Yun Zhilan.”

“Then the other two are suspect.”

“Let’s talk about the nightwalker who was finally shot down from the city by the Great Commander, I heard that the Great Commander’s arrow’s power shook the entire palace, but unfortunately, he didn’t shoot the other party to death.” Listening to the tone of voice, it seemed that there was not much of a match between Old Eunuch Hong and this Great Inner Commander.

Yan Xiaoyi simply despised this eunuch, but knowing that the other party was solidly the most inscrutable person in the palace in terms of strength, he coldly snorted and said, “The second assassin is also a ninth rank character, although only a ninth rank under, but if I can shoot him to death with one arrow, won’t I become one of the four great masters?”

“Another ninth rank?” Gong Deng was full of shock, his own life has been hovering in the realm of the eighth product, always difficult to inch forward, heard that last night there were actually two ninth product masters infiltrated into the palace, by had to give birth to many complex emotions.

“The entire country of Qing has only seven Ninth Grade, and in Kyoto there are only four, where in this world are there so many Ninth Grade.” Elder Eunuch Hong spoke lightly, clearly not believing in Grand Commander Yan’s judgment, believing that the other party was shifting the blame to himself.

Gong Dian was most afraid of this kind of scene every time, and hurriedly said, “His Majesty has a strict decree ordering us to close the case within a decade, I will stay and immediately transfer people from the Supervisory Academy to check on the situation in the various palaces, and firstly judge clearly why the other party would actually risk so much to sneak into the palace.”

Yan Xiaoyi shook his head and said, “The latter person doesn’t know why, but the former must have a relationship with Dongyi City, so start with the Dongyi Mission to find out exactly why that batch of clothes was ordered, and it’s best to find out where each piece of clothing went.”

Is preparing to investigate the layout, suddenly a small eunuch hurriedly ran in, declared the holy decree, last night’s matter, all to the Kyoto guard lord Ye Chong investigation, the palace guards as usual, shall not be declared.

After the little eunuch left, the three palace defenders in the room looked at each other. Yan Xiaoyi slowly closes his eyes, knowing that His Majesty is beginning to suspect one of the three of them. Eunuch Hong walked out with his hands behind his back, his face calm.

In the latter days, the capital made a great search for assassins, but came up empty-handed.

His Majesty’s decree had actually relieved Fan Xian, the true entrant into the palace. In this plan, there was not much wrong in every aspect, but forcing Five Bamboo to wear that new brown garment was a bit of a smart move, and instead revealed the truth.

Fan Xian secretly found out that Dongyi City had ordered this batch of clothes from Tianxiang Satin because the son of Dongyi City’s lord liked the retro style of Kyoto’s clothes, so he ordered a batch of them. As for why he placed the order anonymously, in fact, it was only because of a very simple reason – the young lord of Dongyi City, the world’s businessman, was envious of the clothing of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom of Qing, and after this matter was rumored, he was afraid that he would be scolded to death by those merchants in Dongyi City who had always been very bold.

Of course, Fan Xian would use such a hand, mainly because he didn’t believe that Uncle Wu Zhu could perfectly simulate the sword intent of the Four Gu Swords, if he had known that Wu Zhu was so powerful to such a perverted extent, Fan Xian would have definitely used the planting scheme to a more perfect extent.

But it ended well, at least the palace was still suspicious of the remaining two ninth grade experts in Dong Yi City, and the Supervisory Court had begun to work on confirming where the other two disciples of the Four Gu Swords had been on the day the palace had come to the enemy.

No one would associate them with Fan Xian. Because on the night when the enemy came to the palace, all the high officials in the entire Kyoto of Qing watched him drink a thousand bottles of wine and write a hundred poems in the great hall, making that great man of Beiqi, Zhuang Mo Han, so angry that he vomited blood and couldn’t wait for the night to be over. In the end, he was so drunk that he fell at the feet of His Majesty the Emperor.

This is the misunderstanding of human thinking, not just that it is impossible for a drunken Fan Xian to get up at all, but that people are used to the fact that when one does something very shocking, it is impossible to do another pile of things right afterward.

It was impossible to have another orgasm after an orgasm, there had to be a period of incontinence.
