Chapter 112: Ambush along the way? Reunion of old friends!
At a certain port, Su Wenyi was sitting on Xiaohua, while Abao was carrying a heavy sword and a huge strong bow on his back. Beside him stood a shadow holding a heavy sword and Yan Xiaoyi carrying a strong bow.

Waiting for the ship to arrive.

Yan Xiaoyi's ears suddenly moved twice, and Shadow noticed Yan Xiaoyi's movements.

Shadow asked Yan Xiaoyi, "What did you find?"

Yan Xiaoyi said in a cold voice: "Someone is coming, and they are armed, and there are quite a few of them."

"Do you want to go and take a look? You go ahead and I'll follow behind."

Shadow didn't hesitate at all and left with the heavy sword in hand.

After the shadow left, Yan Xiaoyi leaped directly to the tallest tree.

Standing on the tree, Yan Xiaoyi's vision instantly covered everything within a few hundred meters around him.

The combination of Yan Xiaoyi and Yingzi is enough to kill most of the ninth-grade masters.

Yan Xiaoyi is a hunter, always looking for prey.

Shadows are like ghosts of the dead, hiding in the darkness. It is almost impossible to spot a shadow, and once the shadow catches you, it will kill you.

The two of them worked together, one hunting from a distance while the other strangled the opponent at close range.

When the two of them set off, Su Wenyi had already understood that someone didn't want him to leave smoothly.

Su Wenyi patted Xiaohua on the head and said, "Xiaohua, did you also notice something?"

Xiaohua nodded slightly, and Su Wenyi gently rubbed Xiaohua's head.

After sitting up again, Su Wenyi's face instantly turned gloomy.

It’s interesting. Now I seem to have become a plate of meat, but I don’t know how many people want to eat this plate of meat.

Over the years, he has offended too many people, including many civil and military officials in Kyoto alone.

What's more, this time he completely blew up Emperor Qing!
Even if I could come back alive from Dongyi City this time, I'm afraid Emperor Qing would find a way to silence me.

Just as Su Wenyi was thinking, a familiar figure appeared in front of Su Wenyi.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Su Wenyi suddenly laughed.

Su Wenyi laughed and said, "Old man, why is it you?"

The person in front of him was none other than Fei Jie!
Fei Jie, wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, walked up to Su Wenyi and sighed, "It was Chen Pingping who sent me a message asking me to come and support you."

"Wenhe, you've caused too much trouble this time, especially the matter of Li Yunrui."

"That person already knew about Li Yunrui's affair with the Crown Prince, and he caught them in the act."

"Based on that person's temper, he should have immediately killed all the people who knew about this incident."

"But you treated them to a meal before you left."

"Our Majesty, please be cautious this time!"

"Wenhe, good job!"

Su Wenyi couldn't help but think of this as he listened to Fei Jie's words.

Fortunately, Fei Jie did not go back, otherwise if Fei Jie knew that all his collections over the years had fallen into his hands, he would probably be so angry that he would die on the spot.

But even if he knew, what could he do? He had saved Fan Xian, otherwise what Fan Xian would have to face at this moment would have been even more crazy revenge.

Moreover, he had killed three birds with one stone this time, and had tricked Emperor Qing, Fan Xian, and Li Chengqian.

What’s interesting is that Li Yunrui was not tricked. Perhaps for Li Yunrui, this was not a big deal at all.

Of course, the reward he received also made him more confident when facing Si Gu Jian.

Considering the friendship between Si Gu Jian and Ye Qing Mei, there is a high probability that he will not die this time.

You have to know that because of Ye Qingmei, Si Gu Jian can kill anyone!
Si Gu Jian is very similar to Chen Pingping, except that Si Gu Jian is more extreme.

If Si Gu Jian knew that it was Emperor Qing who had plotted to harm Ye Qingmei, he would probably rush to Qing Kingdom with his sword in hand that very day.
But that was the Si Gu Jian of the past. I’m afraid the Si Gu Jian of now is no longer a human being. I don’t know if he still has even a little bit of humanity.

Therefore, if you want to have the opportunity to chat with Si Gu Jian face to face, you have to pay a price.

People might get hurt, or even die, since they're dealing with a madman after all.

If Fei Jie was here, together with Yan Xiaoyi and Yingzi, there would also be myself and Abao.

With so many people working together, there will always be a chance to use drugs to knock Si Gu Jian out.

Si Gu Jian is a man with a slow brain, so it is relatively easy to trick him.

As long as I can make him fall in love with me, I'll shoot a bullet directly into his left eye.

After it was made into a dum-dum bullet, it was shot into the left eye. As long as it was still a carbon-based creature, it would be impossible to survive.

Even if it's Si Gu Jian, even if he's a grandmaster, he can still be killed!
Of course, what is indispensable is the poison that Fei Jie painstakingly prepared, a poison that can make even a grandmaster dizzy for a while.

Su Wenyi pondered for a moment and then said, "It will be much easier to do things if you cooperate with me."

Fei Jie smiled and said, "I came here just to help you."

"I'm really worried about you facing that lunatic alone."

"I'll follow you. At worst, I can help you collect your body."

Fei Jie's words really moved Su Wenyi.

Su Wenyi reached out and patted Fei Jie on the shoulder and said, "You and I have known each other for many years. Others only know that you can use poison, but they don't know that you are a very careful person."

"But this time, with you here, I do feel more confident."

"Since you said that, I will help you deal with the bugs following you for free."

When Fei Jie heard this, his eyes widened.

"Hey! I'm here to save you!"

Seeing Fei Jie like this, Su Wenyi smiled even more happily.

The place where he and others were located was the border between Northern Qi and Qing. Fortunately, this place was sparsely populated and there was only one waterway.

The place he was going to was Dongyi City, which was just a city.

Moreover, Dongyi City is located at the border between the two countries.

Under such circumstances, neither Northern Qi nor Qing could easily attack Dongyi City.

Although Dongyi City does not have many troops, it has Si Gu Jian.

Whoever attacks Dongyi City first will force Si Gu Jian to stand against him.

In addition, Qing Kingdom is the most powerful country now, and it also has two grand masters.

This is also one of the reasons why the balance between the two countries has been maintained for so many years.

As long as the Grand Master is alive, no country will dare to launch a full-scale attack easily.

This is also why Emperor Qing's sixth son finally decided on the so-called cannibalization strategy.

Is it because Qing Kingdom is not strong enough to take over Northern Qi and Dongyi City? Come on, the current comprehensive national strength of Qing Kingdom far exceeds that of Northern Qi, and Dongyi City is just a small city.

Under such circumstances, the only one who could bring a little trouble to Qing Kingdom was Xihu.

However, the disturbance he had caused before made the Western Hu afraid to move south for 10 to 20 years.

It will take at least a few more years before the so-called Xijing City will remain a dead city.

What Emperor Qing needs to do is to find a way to get rid of those two grand masters while nibbling away at the opponent bit by bit.

This is Emperor Qing’s real purpose.

Su Wenyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, this battle won't last too long. The war may be over before we get there." Fei Jie became curious when he heard that.

Fei Jie asked, "What? You said the national war is over before we even get there? How is that possible?"

Su Wenyi smiled and shook his head and said, "Our Majesty wants more than just Northern Qi."

"What he wants is the whole world, but now he doesn't have the confidence to take over the world."

"As long as the Grand Master is still in this world, he will not launch a full-scale attack and will not force the opponent into a desperate situation."

"Besides, you don't really think that his goal is just this world?"

When Fei Jie heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Su Wenyi really knows too much, but according to what he said, what does that person want?

Even if someone wanted the temple, no one had been able to find it over the years.

Maybe the temple didn't exist at all. It was not something that he would do to spend energy and resources to search for something that didn't exist.

After thinking for a moment, Fei Jie asked cautiously, "He doesn't want the temple?"

Su Wenyi nodded and said, "Yes, he wants the temple. And he doesn't just want to find the temple, he wants everything in the temple!"

"Ye Qingmei is from the temple, and Wuzhu is also from the temple."

"Our Majesty has not dared to leave Kyoto for so many years, and he even rarely leaves the Imperial Palace."

"One of the reasons is because they are afraid of Wu Zhu."

"The second is that he is afraid of death and is afraid that those temple messengers will attack him."

"This time when I go to Dongyi City, I might cause big trouble for Your Majesty."

"Old Fei, you have to think carefully this time. If you really go, there will be no room for regret."

Fei Jie didn't hesitate at all after hearing this. He waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"

Kyoto, inside the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Qing stood by the lake, looking at the lake expressionlessly, grabbing a little bait with his fingers and gently throwing it into the water.

Eunuch Hou walked up to Emperor Qing with a secret report.

Emperor Qing asked without even turning his head: "Read!"

Eunuch Hou said, "Your Majesty, the chief of the Third Division of the Inspection Institute, Fei Jie, has already met with Lord Su Wenyi."

"In addition, Lord Su is accompanied by a bear and a tiger, as well as Commander Yan Xiaoyi and a ninth-rank swordsman who uses a greatsword."

"All the secret agents of the Imperial Guard following Fei Jie were killed by the two of them working together."

"According to the spies, that person is probably also upper ninth rank, and very powerful."

After listening to this, Emperor Qing snorted coldly and threw all the baits in his hand into the lake.

Emperor Qing turned around and went back into the palace.

"This Su Wenyi is still holding back!"

"By the way, has the swordsman with the great sword been checked?"

Eunuch Hou shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have already had people investigate, whether it is the Inspection Institute or the martial arts world, or even ourselves, but no one has found it."

"What is certain is that neither the Jinyiwei nor Dongyi City has such a person."

"It's like this person appeared out of nowhere. He's really a bit mysterious."

After hearing this, Emperor Qing felt a chill in his heart.

A mysterious ninth-rank swordsman who wields a greatsword!

Interesting, very interesting. What other cards do you, Wenhe, have up your sleeve?
Relying on a few ninth-rank masters, plus Fei Jie, can they defeat Si Gu Jian?

That is simply wishful thinking. Si Gu Jian can be said to be the most dangerous among the four grand masters.

There is no other reason. Among the grand masters, Ye Liuyun is still a human being and still has humanity.

Ku He is a person who does not follow worldly principles, and now he will not easily have the intention to kill.

As for myself, I have not left the palace for many years, so I have no intention of killing others even if they want to die.

There is only Si Gu Jian, who has a crazy personality and terrifying strength.

He wanted to kill someone; it was just a thought.

What do you want to do? What kind of trump card do you have?
Just when Emperor Qing was puzzled, Eunuch Hou spoke again.

Lord Hou said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I am not sure whether I should tell you."

Emperor Qing said somewhat unhappily: "Speak!"

Eunuch Hou took a deep breath and said, "Recently, the relationship between Dean Chen and Si Nanbo has been a little subtle."

"I always feel that there is a lot of estrangement between the two of them."

"Especially after Lord Su left, the First Division of the Inspection Institute was handed over to Zhuge again."

"The current Inspection Bureau is even busier, but the Seventh Division seems to be still the same."

"Even Master Fan has been much more well behaved recently."

"This situation doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it."

Eunuch Hou’s words instantly awakened Emperor Qing!

Emperor Qing stood up abruptly, and kept thinking about Eunuch Hou's words in his mind.

Emperor Qing began to wander around the spot. After a while, he said to Eunuch Hou, "Go! Call Hong Sixiang over!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hou turned around and left respectfully.

A moment later, Hong Sixiang, dressed in a red robe, appeared in front of Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing asked Hong Sixiang, "On the day when Li Yunrui was in trouble, how strong was the man you fought with?"

Hong Sixiang frowned and thought for a moment.

"Your Majesty, that man was covered in blood. I hit him with my palm, but he didn't get hurt at all."

“Instead, I was shocked and retreated again and again, but that person didn’t seem to want to fight with me.”

"I chased him all the way, and he fought with me all the way, but I am sure that he has held back his strength."

"Also, that person seemed to have deliberately led me to Guangxin Palace."

After Hong Sixiang finished speaking, Emperor Qing stood up and his creepy gaze appeared again.

Emperor Qing was thinking in his heart.

Got it, got it all!
This is a game within a game!

On the surface, he was having a meal, and then went into the palace to stir up the matter of Li Yunrui.

If I knew about this, I would be furious.

Being angry, I naturally didn't have the energy to think too much.

And it’s not that easy to bring up this matter again.

As long as the matter between Li Yunrui and Li Chengqian is still going on, there is no way for him to investigate openly.

Otherwise, just one word from Chen Pingping would spread the news throughout Kyoto in an instant!
Good move, Su Wenyi, this time, you win completely!
Emperor Qing was furious and said, "Send a letter to Si Gu Jian. If you can kill Su Wenyi, my Qing Kingdom will never send troops to Dongyi City!"
