Chapter 136 Barrett Got It! One Hundred Bullets! (33)

After hearing Wu Zhu's suggestion, Fan Xian also felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

“Uncle, Yan Xiaoyi in the palace died in battle at the border, and Gong Dian, who is at the peak of the eighth rank, is much weaker.”

"But there is a great master hidden in the palace!"

Wu Zhu said, “The Grand Master in the palace should be the Grand Eunuch Hong Sixiang.

I can lead him away, and you can sneak into the Queen Mother's bedroom to get the key, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Fan Xian, who has already broken through to the eighth level, is very confident in his domineering true qi.

"Yan Xiaoyi practices archery and has a strong ability to identify positions by sound. He is very difficult to deal with. Gong Dian is much weaker."

"The Inspection Institute has locksmiths who are good at configuring complex keys, and it's not far from the Imperial Palace."

"I am more than 80% sure that I can get the key from the palace this time!"

After Fan Xian secured his position as the director of the Inspection Institute and the head of a department, he managed to transfer Guo Youzhi to the Inspection Institute as a reward for Guo Baokun's protection of him.

That night, Fan Xian, Guo Baokun and He Zongwei met at Zuixianju for a drink.

Fan Xian once again used drunkenness as a cover, preparing to have evidence of his alibi in case the matter was leaked.

Without Yan Xiaoyi, this entry into the palace seemed very smooth on the surface.

Wu Zhu lured Hong Sixiang away and used the Four-Looking Sword Technique to successfully confuse Hong Sixiang.

Anyway, it’s not the first or second time that Si Gu Jian’s disciples have brazenly attempted assassinations in Kyoto.

What puzzled Wu Zhu was that Hong Sixiang did not reveal any of the pressure from the Grand Master.

To be on the safe side, Wu Zhu did not reveal his true skills and used his strength to delay Hong Sixiang.

Fan Xian entered the Hanguang Hall where the Queen Mother was and drugged the Queen Mother and all the palace maids and eunuchs.

He carefully opened the secret compartment under the Queen Mother's bed and found three things inside.

One was a key of odd shape, the other opened an envelope, and the other was a piece of white silk.

Fan Xian did not dare to delay, so he took the key and quickly left the palace, asking the locksmith to make him a new one.

His poison was enough to make the empress dowager and the palace maids sleep for more than two hours.

So, after he put the fake key into the secret compartment, he looked at the other two items curiously.

Because Yan Xiaoyi was not in the palace, it was much easier for Fan Xian to sneak in, so he was bolder.

There was nothing special about that white silk. It should be the white silk used for hanging.

Fan Xian wondered why the old lady kept the white silk for hanging herself.

When he opened the envelope and saw the letter inside, he realized where the white silk came from.

It turns out that Ye Qingmei had feelings for Emperor Qing back then, but she was unwilling to enter the palace, which made Emperor Qing distracted.

The Queen Mother believed that Ye Qingmei was a witch who brought disaster to the country, had no regard for the law, and seduced the Emperor.

Therefore, the Queen Mother sent a white silk cloth to Ye Qingmei in Taiping Villa and asked her to commit suicide.

But Ye Qingmei asked Wuzhu to return the white silk to the old lady at night and place it on her bedside.

This letter from Ye Qingmei was sent back together with Bai Ling. In the letter, she jokingly described the cause and effect of the incident and expressed her dissatisfaction.

The whole article is about family matters and there is no other important information.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Fan Xian put the letter back intact. He didn't know what the old lady was going to do by hiding the white silk and the letter.

Inside the palace, after Fan Xian left, Emperor Qing emerged from a corner like a ghost.

The Grand Master’s perception range is limited, but the Queen Mother’s secret compartment is within his perception range.

The secret agent in the inner court who had been keeping an eye on Fan Xian suddenly disappeared recently, and Emperor Qing was already suspecting that Wu Zhu had returned.

A quarter of an hour later, Hong Sixiang came to Emperor Qing in shame.

"The person who came here used the Four-Looking Sword Technique. His power is profound and unfathomable!"

Emperor Qing asked, "How unfathomable?"

Hong Sixiang knelt down, which was rare, and said, "The man who came here has a deep and restrained inner energy, not a single bit of it is exposed, but his speed and strength are comparable to this old slave's."

"I failed to capture the thief, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qing could tell that the person who went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom twice was Fan Xian. This could be confirmed from the man's chuckle when he read the letter.

Emperor Qing naturally guessed that Fan Xian took the key and left a fake one, because Fan Xian went in and out of the Queen Mother's bedroom twice.

In the original novel, Fan Xian didn't have time to put the key back and only went in and out once. Emperor Qing just thought that Fan Xian came to read Ye Qingmei's handwriting.

But Fan Xian's action went smoothly tonight, and Emperor Qing immediately thought of the key and the box left by Ye Qingmei!
Needless to say, the person who led Hong Sixiang away must be Wu Zhu.

Wuzhu is back again, and the two of them have to work together to open the box!

Emperor Qing felt guilty, and even the grandmaster felt a chill on his back!

What on earth is in Xiao Ye’s box?

What will Wuzhu look like under his eye mask?

"Get up, that man is indeed too strong, you have no way to deal with him, you can only ask the temple for help."

"I thought he would need several years to recuperate from his serious injury, but I didn't expect him to be back so soon."

"There is no time to lose. You must leave the palace now and bring the high priest into the palace."

An hour later, Hong Sixiang brought the high priest of Kyoto Qing Temple to the imperial study.

Ye Qingmei came out of the temple, but her behavior had too great an impact on human society and violated the principles of the temple.

Therefore, after Ye Qingmei did some deeds, the temple sent messengers to Nanqing to eliminate Ye Qingmei.

At that time, Emperor Qing and the mysterious temple messenger completed their first cooperation.

The temple envoy led Wuzhu away, and Emperor Qing went on a western expedition himself, taking Fan Jian with him, and transferred Chen Pingping to take charge of the northern border.

Ye Qingmei was left alone and was killed in a rebellion led by the nobles of Kyoto.

The high priest of Kyoto Qingmiao is the person chosen by the temple messenger to communicate with the temple.

When the temple messenger left, he clearly stated that if a traitor was found, the temple should be contacted.

The so-called traitor, of course, refers to Wu Zhu, whom Ye Qingmei brought out of the temple.

The high priest's only means is to send a one-way message to the temple, but there will be no response from the temple.

If the temple determines that a temple messenger needs to be sent, and there is a messenger in the temple, one will naturally be sent over.

At this moment, the high priest was kneeling on the ground, listening to Emperor Qing's instructions.

"High priest, please use your secret method to send a message to the temple."

The high priest asked without showing any emotion, "The last time the betrayer showed up, you did not inform the temple."

Emperor Qing must notify the temple this time because Wu Zhu and Fan Xian took the key!

Emperor Qing felt that he was facing unpredictable dangers and things might be beyond his control.

Therefore, he would rather eliminate the hidden danger first!

"The last time he showed up, he got injured and hid away not long after. This time, he should stay with Fan Xian the whole time."

The high priest is only a messenger chosen by the temple, and the temple’s real collaborator is still Emperor Qing.

After all, under the rule of a traditional emperor like Emperor Qing, a technological revolution would not suddenly break out and lead humanity in the dangerous direction that the temple believes.

The high priest accepted the order and said, "I obey your command. We will return to Qing Temple to perform the ritual now!" After Fan Xian and Wu Zhu succeeded, they opened the box left by Ye Qingmei in Fan Mansion.

The Barrett M82A1 in the box completely overturned Fan Xian's imagination, not to mention Ye Qingmei's earth-shattering letter.

Now is not ancient times, but the future!

Fan Xian, who thought he had traveled through time, only retained his memories before his death and was later injected with new life.

So, Fan Xian did not travel through time, but his memory was suspended for hundreds of thousands of years and then revived again in the body of a baby!

With Ye Qingmei's letter and Sean's story, Fan Xian finally understood his own situation and the world.

The Barrett sniper rifle in the box is an anti-material weapon that can attack tanks. If it hits a person, half of his body will be gone.

Such a powerful weapon, with a bullet that travels at three times the speed of sound, is too late to dodge by the time you hear the sound of the bullet.

However, this sniper rifle lacks a trigger and bullets.

Wu Zhu recalled, "The trigger you mentioned should be able to be made in the three major workshops of Jiangnan Neiku."

Although the trigger is delicate, it is just a metal structure and is not complicated to process.

"As for the bullets you mentioned, they may be in Cangshan Villa or Taiping Villa. The young lady's men may also have some."

Fan Xian said excitedly, "You have already been to Taiping Villa. The secret room at the bottom of the lake also requires a key, but now we have the key!"

Wu Zhu nodded and said, "That's right, although Taiping Villa is heavily guarded, it can stop you, but not me!"

Fan Xian smiled awkwardly and said, "As far as I know, no one in this world can stop you!"

"Uncle, the longer the night, the more trouble you will have. You should go and have a look tonight."

Wu Zhu agreed, "Good! I'm leaving now."

After saying this, Wu Zhu suddenly disappeared from Fan Xian's sight.

In the early hours of the morning, Wuzhu returned with another wooden box.

After learning the truth about the world, Fan Xian was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

When Wu Zhu opened the wooden box, Fan Xian was even more overjoyed!

Because inside the box were golden Barrett bullets, about a hundred of them!
"Uncle, my mother is leaving me an arsenal!"

"Can this magic weapon kill a grandmaster?"

Wu Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, it depends on which Grandmaster it is.

If the opponent is extremely skilled in Qinggong, it will be more difficult."

"Whether you can kill a grandmaster depends on how well you know that grandmaster and how familiar you are with the magic weapons."

"The most important thing now is to go to the three major workshops in Jiangnan and make the trigger you mentioned."

"In this way, no matter how fierce your opponent is, you will be absolutely safe."

Fan Xian thought of the promise that Emperor Qing had made to him. Emperor Qing still wanted to hand over the inner treasury to him.

"Okay! Tomorrow I will ask His Majesty for permission to go to Jiangnan to clean up the Ming family!"

The Cui family's smuggling case has been investigated, and the Ming family's role in it is not glorious.

Although Emperor Qing forbade further investigation into Li Chengze, he did not say that the investigation into the Ming family could not continue.

The next morning, the young eunuch in the Empress Dowager's palace spread the news that someone had fainted in the Hanguang Palace last night.

This was the spy specially arranged by Li Changan through Hong Zhu, who was keeping an eye on the Queen Mother just for this matter.

Li Changan knew that Fan Xian would definitely come to steal the key, so he made preparations last year.

Because Wu Zhu could appear at any time, it was not feasible to send someone to keep a close eye on Fan Xian.

Li Changan was afraid of alarming Emperor Qing too early, so he didn't take the key himself.

Now that Fan Xian has taken action, it means Wu Zhu has recovered from his injury and is back.

Because Fan Xian didn't dare to go into the palace to get the key alone.

It's time to find a way to grab that Barrett.

Because Wuzhu is here, only Li Changan can do this, no one else can do it.

Don't be too impatient to get Barrett, Li Changan took the opportunity to visit Li Chengze.

Li Chengze was imprisoned, and of course ordinary people could not get in.

At this moment, the second prince was eating grapes barefoot in the pavilion and reading Li Changan's collection of poems.

Xie Bian was practicing sword skills, and Fan Wujiu was reading, preparing for next year's imperial examination.

The other six family generals were scattered throughout the palace, protecting Li Chengze.

Li Chengze had no more distractions and was reading poetry with great interest when he suddenly heard Li Changan's voice.

"Two ninth-rank soldiers, six eighth-rank soldiers, and a hundred permanent red-armored soldiers. The prince cannot kill you."

Looking at Li Changan who suddenly appeared in front of him, the grapes in Li Chengze's hand fell to the ground.

Xie Bian rushed over quickly and said in surprise, "Your Highness Prince Yong, you have broken through to the ninth rank!"

Li Changan said, "Yes, but don't tell anyone. I am the only one who truly protects your Highness."

"You two, please step back. I want to talk to the second one."

Li Chengze narrowed his eyes and said, "Uncle Yong, you really are a hidden talent!"

"But I think I should be safe. If Li Chengqian wants to kill me, he has to wait until he ascends the throne."

"But with you here, it will be harder for him to ascend the throne than to ascend to heaven."

Li Changan sat down and said, "The one who wants to kill you now is not Li Chengqian, nor Li Yunrui, but Chen Pingping."

How could Chen Pingping miss this opportunity to let the royal family kill each other? All he had to do was kill Li Chengze and frame Li Chengqian.

Li Chengze could never have imagined that Chen Pingping would kill him, "Dean Chen? I didn't offend him!"

Li Changan said, "Your father has offended him. It's better for you not to know about this. I will ask the Shadow Secret Guard to strengthen patrols in this area."

Li Chengze stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't tell me those nonsense, you just need to protect me!"

Li Changan was very satisfied with Li Chengze's current condition. "Very good, that's right."

"There aren't many experts in the Inspection Bureau who can kill you, but you have to be careful about them poisoning you."

"I will send two poison masters to take care of you, so you can rest assured and enjoy your retirement."

Li Chengze said nervously, "Then you better hurry up, I'm only in my early twenties, I don't want to die!"

It seems that the Second Prince is indeed much more interesting when he is not a grindstone.

Emperor Qing was very supportive of Fan Xian's trip to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate his family's affairs. He encouraged him enthusiastically and promised that he would take over the inner treasury after he succeeded.

Fan Xian reported to Chen Pingping again, and Chen Pingping equipped him with the strongest staff and spent several days looking up the information and intelligence of the managers of the three major workshops.

However, just when Fan Xian was about to set off, something big happened.

First, Wu Zhu fought a fierce battle with another blindfolded grandmaster. Although Wu Zhu killed the opponent, he was seriously injured again.

After Wu Zhu was seriously injured, he repeatedly told Fan Xian to go to the three major workshops to make a Barrett trigger before going to Dadong Mountain to heal his wounds.

However, when Fan Xian was ready to go to the south of the Yangtze River, he discovered something even more terrifying!

The Barrett is gone, and so is the box of bullets!
