Chapter 64: Teng Zijing fakes his death! Emperor Qing lures Fan Xian into the capital!
The red-armored knights sent by Fan Jian were the elite among the imperial guards of the Qing Palace. It was of course foolproof for them to come and pick up Fan Xian.

However, Fan Xian's grandmother flatly refused, and Fan Xian agreed very much with what she said.

"They were sent by your father to take you to Kyoto. I have already turned them down for you."

"Kyoto is not a good place. Your mother died in Kyoto. You will live longer if you stay in Danzhou."

Fan Xian said respectfully, "Grandma is right. Kyoto is a place of trouble. I don't want to wade into that muddy water."

Ever since he confirmed the existence of another time traveler, Fan Xian has been reluctant to go to Kyoto.

The time traveler was hiding behind Prince Yong. He was in a high position and had great power. Fan Xian always felt that he was very dangerous.

What's more, he and Sisi are now in their honeymoon period and don't want to leave their comfortable home in Danzhou.

Kyoto City.

Li Changan met Teng Zijing in a wealthy businessman's mansion outside the city.

Now, because of his outstanding talent, Teng Zijing is only one step away from breaking through to the ninth level.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he always showed his strength above the seventh rank in the Inspection Institute.

If he revealed his full strength, given his relatively upright character, it would be difficult for him to justify the source of the secret book.

Name: Teng Zijing
Age: 29 years old

Realm: Peak of the Eighth Level

Talent: Hidden Weapon (9th Grade)

Abilities: Poison (seventh rank), espionage (fifth rank), business (fourth rank)

Emotion: 100
"Your subordinate Teng Zijing comes to see His Highness!"

A martial artist who specializes in hidden weapons at the peak of the eighth rank can launch a sneak attack and kill martial artists below the ninth rank. This is the power of hidden weapons.

"Get up, you have trained well in martial arts, and you have done a good job in intelligence work in the past four years."

"There are indeed problems with the assassination mission you received, but you can use this opportunity to fake your death and get away with it."

Teng Zijing has been cautious for the past four years, always waiting for Li Changan to come back, and also waiting for this opportunity.

"Your Highness, what you mean is that I can fake my death and leave the Inspection Office, and you will send my wife and children out of the capital?"

Li Changan nodded and said, "There are several places for you to choose from. After you fake your death, you can secretly send your wife and children there."

"These places are protected by my people. They are absolutely safe. Of course, if you are worried, you can find a place yourself."

The ten elites trained by Luowang have joined the Inspection Institute in the past two years. They have a clean background and strong talents.

These professional personnel are more suitable for espionage work, while Teng Zijing would be more suitable to be a passionate guard.

"Your Highness, no matter where I choose, after I have settled my wife and children, I will return to serve you."

Now Teng Zijing has a chance to break through to the ninth rank. If he really retires to the mountains, he would feel somewhat unwilling.

"Teng Zijing, was this assassination ordered by Xu Yunzhang?"

Teng Zijing nodded in surprise and said, "Your Highness, it is this person. How did you know about this?"

Li Changan added, "You were originally going to go on business near Danzhou, but everyone else near Danzhou has been transferred away, so Xu Yunzhang had no choice but to choose you."

Teng Zijing didn't know the whole story, he just thought Li Changan was amazing and seemed to know everything.

"Your Highness, what's going on? It seems like the water is very deep!"

Li Changan said, "Go to Danzhou first, and then find a chance to fake your death. After you settle your wife and children and come back, I will tell you the whole story."

Teng Zijing received the order and left the capital. Li Changan asked Jingwei to settle Teng Zijing's family in Luowang headquarters first.

Fan Xian's visit to Beijing was planned by Emperor Qing, and he had two purposes.

First, Emperor Qing really likes Ye Qingmei, but he is also really wary of her.

Therefore, he also wanted to give Fan Xian, the illegitimate prince, a chance. This trip to Beijing would be the starting point for Fan Xian's meteoric rise.

Secondly, Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping, the two old men, want to get the secret of the temple from Sean and disguise Fan Xian as Sean's grandson.

Fan Xian will definitely be promoted quickly after arriving in Beijing. This is not only necessary for disguise, but also out of Emperor Qing's fatherly love. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Fan Xian was granted marriage and was to take over the inner treasury after marriage. The crown prince and Li Yunrui wanted to assassinate Fan Xian, and Xu Yunzhang was the crown prince's man. The two old men took advantage of Li Yunrui's assassination to stimulate Fan Xian to come to Kyoto to investigate the real culprit behind the scenes.

Therefore, the assassin could not really kill Fan Xian. After seeing Fan Xian's badge, the assassin had to dare to disobey orders.

The inspectors are on the same level as the heads of various departments, and the Inspection Office cannot assassinate its own people at will.

This assassin must have a sense of justice and dare to question his superiors, rather than being a six-department killer who stubbornly follows orders.

Chen Pingping was very clear about the personalities of the people in the Inspection Institute. After recommending several people, Emperor Qing chose Teng Zijing, who was eager to do good and righteous.

Half a month later, Danzhou.

Teng Zijing disguised himself as the nephew of a farmer who delivered vegetables to Fan's villa and sent a basket of slightly poisonous bamboo shoots to Fan's villa.

After Fan Xian saw through the conspiracy, he successfully found Teng Zijing, and the two of them started fighting after a disagreement.

Fan Xian was surprised to find that this assassin's skills were only slightly inferior to his.

Teng Zijing fought and fled all the way to the edge of a cliff, and it seemed that there was no way to retreat.

Fan Xian thought he had won the game. "You successfully poisoned the Fan Mansion's courtyard, but you didn't use a deadly poison. You still have a conscience. Tell me who is behind this, and I'll spare your life!"

Teng Zijing said generously, "The Inspection Bureau has issued a secret order to kill the traitors!"

Fan Xian was surprised, and then he took out the badge given to him by his teacher Fei Jie, "What a coincidence, I am the Commissioner of the Inspection Institute."

When Teng Zijing saw the badge, he was also shocked. It seemed that what His Royal Highness Prince Yong said was right. This matter was too complicated.

At this point, Teng Zijing didn't have the heart to argue any more with Fan Xian, so it would be better for him to fake his death.

"The thief is indeed cunning. He even forged the waist badge of the Inspection Bureau. Do you think the elite of the Inspection Bureau are so easy to deceive? Look at the flying knife!"

Fan Xian said anxiously, "You are such a stubborn person. My teacher is the head of the Third Department, Fei Jie. Have you heard of him?"

Teng Zijing waved his sleeves, and three flying knives suddenly shot towards Fan Xian, "You sweet-talking villain, you actually pretended to be Master Fei's disciple!"

Fan Xian dodged the flying knife, and his domineering true energy rushed towards his palm, hitting Teng Zijing in the lower abdomen!

Blood spurted out of Teng Zijing's mouth, and he flew backwards and fell off the cliff.

Fan Xian looked at the bottomless cliff and couldn't help but sigh, "The people in the Inspection Institute are really honest people."

"You didn't kill me, and you're my teacher's colleague. I don't really want to kill you."

Teng Zijing fell into the fog along the cliff. He stabbed the tree with the rope dart at his waist, then quietly climbed up the cliff and left.

It is not so easy for Teng Zijing, who is at the peak of the eighth rank, to really die.

……

When the news reached Kyoto, Emperor Qing remained silent for a while.

"Si Xiang, I have never misjudged anyone, but I never thought I had misjudged Teng Zijing. He is as stubborn as the assassins from the Sixth Division."

"Teng Zijing is dead, so what? What about Fan Xian? Was he angered and agreed to come to Kyoto?"

Hong Sixiang's answer surprised Emperor Qing again.

"Your Majesty, Fan Xian is still unwilling to come to Kyoto. He believes that Kyoto is very dangerous and his attitude is very firm."

Emperor Qing's expression was slightly stern, "People have come to his doorstep to kill him, but he can still swallow this anger!"

"This kid has been raised in Danzhou. He won't be spoiled. His martial arts skills are among the best among his peers, but he is so heartless."

Emperor Qing stood up and took two steps before coming up with a solution.

"How about this. Let Fan Jian find two veterans above the seventh rank from the Tiger Guards and send them to Danzhou to serve as guards for Fan Xian. They should be simple and honest and have no evil intentions."

"Have these two Tiger Guards tell Fan Xian about the arranged marriage... Oh, and send a portrait of Princess Yichen over!"

A simple and honest veteran master can more easily gain Fan Xian's trust while protecting him, so that Fan Xian will not be suspicious again.

As for Lin Wan'er's portrait, it was to let Fan Xian see the fourth most beautiful woman on the Langya List. He came to Kyoto to become the son-in-law of the prime minister, who was the chief judge of all officials.
