Chapter 87 Shadow educates Fan Xian! Wu Zhu kills Lin Gong! (23, please subscribe!)
"Kengkeng!"

The eighth-rank guard behind Lin Gong was quick-witted and quick-handed, deflecting the poisonous arrow with one knife.

The poisonous arrow was blocked by the steel knife and shot into the guard lying on the ground.

"The assassin is on the roof!"

Seeing that the assassination failed, Fan Xian could only escape by jumping over the wall. He couldn't deal with so many people.

However, the Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded because an assassin had entered before, and now dozens of experts were rushing towards Lin Gong's room.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The guards holding bows and arrows began to draw their bows and shoot arrows to block Fan Xian's way.

Afterwards, several seventh-rank guards jumped onto the roof and surrounded Fan Xian tightly.

Relying on his advantages in speed and strength, Fan Xian killed two guards in the blink of an eye.

But more and more people came, and Fan Xian was driven to the ground and surrounded by dozens of people.

In this situation, poison is useless and we have no choice but to fight head-on.

Swords and sabers flashed, and Fan Xian's inner energy was so powerful that even though he suffered several injuries, he also killed several masters!

Lin Gong was unconscious, and Lin Ruofu was being protected from a distance.

Seeing Fan Xian's ruthless attack, killing the masters in the mansion one after another, Lin Ruofu shouted angrily, "Kill him!"

We originally wanted to leave someone alive, but our own casualties were too fast.

After receiving Lin Ruofu's order, more than a dozen bows and arrows were aimed at Fan Xian.

Arrows were flying at him, and Fan Xian dodged and blocked many of them.

But when he saw the second round of arrows being shot out, Fan Xian suddenly felt bitter in his heart. It was over!
There's really no hope this time!
At this moment, a man in night clothes fell from the sky.

A long sword, shining coldly in the night!

The sword shadows are heavy, cutting off all the incoming arrows!

Swords were flying, blood was splattering, and several nearby warriors were killed instantly!
Fan Xian didn’t know who the person was, but he knew that the other party was a ninth-grade master, so he was saved!

The man in black picked up Fan Xian, easily cut a bloody path for him, then jumped over the courtyard wall and left.

Yuan Hongdao said to Lin Ruofu, "Prime Minister, the person coming is at least a ninth-rank master!"

Lin Ruofu said in a deep voice, "Ninth-rank swordsman...Xie Bian?"

Yuan Hongdao said, "Xie Bian is only a lower ninth rank, and there is no way he can escape the killing situation today."

"Prime Minister, someone with such skills must either be a hermit or one of the top ten masters on the Langya List."

Lin Ruofu recalled the ten loud names, "Either the Grandmaster, or the swordsman under the Grandmaster... Shadow Swordsman!"

Lin Ruofu guessed correctly, it was Shadow who rescued Fan Xian.

Zong Zhui was unable to persuade Fan Xian, and fearing that something might happen to Fan Xian, he notified Chen Pingping immediately.

Shadow carried Fan Xian to a river and dropped him down. "Clean your wounds, then go back home and stop making trouble."

"You have inherited Master Fei's poison skills. If you have a team of elite swordsmen, killing Lin Gong will be as easy as stepping on an ant."

"You are highly valued by the dean and have just joined the Inspection Institute. Why are you in such a hurry?"

The swordsman that Shadow was referring to was, of course, the assassins from the Sixth Department under his command. The cooperation between the Sixth Department and the Three Departments was simply an assassination machine.

While cleaning his wound, Fan Xian said bitterly, "I want to avenge my two guard brothers!"

Shadow sneered and said, "What a joke! A guard's duty is to protect the master with his own life!"

"Many important figures in the capital have assassinated each other, and I don't know how many of their guards have died."

"What you need to do is to integrate your strength and fight with your real opponent, not to avenge your guards."

Fan Xian said in a muffled voice, "But guards are also human beings! They have wives, children, and families!"

Shadow did not empathize with Fan Xian's anger.

"I have killed no less than twenty guards tonight, are they all evil and treacherous?

How should we account for their deaths? Should we commit suicide to atone for our sins?"

“If you want to keep your guards safe, don’t step into the troubles of Kyoto.

If you want to get a piece of the pie in the dragon's den and tiger's lair in Kyoto, don't be soft-hearted. "

"Having the desire to be rich and prosperous but not having the determination to make sacrifices and endure the consequences can only make people think you are childish and stupid!"

After the shadow left, Fan Xian quietly returned to the Fan Mansion alone.

As soon as I walked into the room, I found a familiar figure standing in the room.

"Uncle! You're here! Have you recovered your memory?"

After confirming that it was Wu Zhu who came, Fan Xian finally couldn't help crying.

Wu Zhu said somewhat bewilderedly, "We recovered part of it... I heard about the assassination on Niulan Street."

"I'm here, I won't let you get hurt again... You're hurt again, who did it?"

Fan Xian still couldn't let go of the anger in his chest, "Uncle, I found out who is behind this, it's Lin Gong, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Wu Zhu's expression still showed no emotion, but his voice had become resolute, "Let's not talk about my memory recovery for now."

"I will kill whoever kills you!"

"Fan Xian, do you want to kill Lin Gong?"

Fan Xian said firmly, "Lin Gong must die!"

Wu Zhu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you kill it."

"Is there anyone behind Lin Gong? Kill them all!"

Fan Xian frowned and said, "Behind Lin Gong are the eldest princess and the crown prince, but it's not clear who they are."

"But even if we know, we can't just kill him casually."

Wu Zhu said, "I think I understand. Kill Lin Gong first!"

"By the way, you can't tell anyone about my return, including Fan Jian."

"I vaguely remember that my existence had to be kept secret, otherwise there would be big trouble, and I had to hide in the dark."

Fan Xian nodded and said, "Uncle, you are very skilled. If you kill Lin Gong, no one will be able to find you. I will also pretend that I don't know."

"Besides me, no one will know that you are in Kyoto, don't worry!"

Wu Zhu turned his neck and said, "You should recover first. From now on, Lin Gong's affairs have nothing to do with you."

"When you recover from your injuries, we will work together to find a way to open the box left by the young lady!"

The next day.

The news of the prime minister's assassination spread quickly.

Those who were not in the know were saying that it was the treacherous prime minister Lin Ruofu who was assassinated, while those who were in the know knew that it was Lin Gong who was assassinated.

Royal study room.

There is a secret agent from the inner court among the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Eunuch Hou is reporting the news.

"Your Majesty, the assassin last night..."

Emperor Qing interrupted impatiently, "Fan Xian is Fan Xian. I can guess that it was Fan Xian who poisoned, dagger, and crossbow!"

"Fan Xian interrogated the courtesan for several days. Yesterday afternoon, he prepared a lot of poison in the Inspection Institute, and then Lin Gong was assassinated."

Eunuch Hou smiled awkwardly, "I think Young Master Fan has already found out that the one who wanted to assassinate him should be Second Young Master Lin." "Young Master Fan poisoned eight seventh-rank guards and beheaded seven seventh-rank guards last night."

"The swordsman who rescued him killed twenty-one guards, and the last two escaped."

Emperor Qing still showed no joy or anger, "The swordsman who saved Fan Xian, the wound he inflicted on him, is it confirmed that he was only an upper ninth-grade cultivator?"

Eunuch Hou said, "Minister Lin asked the Inspection Office and the Ministry of Justice to take a look at it. It should be fine."

Emperor Qing’s first reaction was that the Wu Zhu, whom he feared, had returned.

Ye Qingmei's death was caused by Emperor Qing's instigation, so it is not unfair to say that he killed her.

Wu Zhu, who is able to fight against a grand master, is Ye Qingmei's loyal servant. How could Emperor Qing not be afraid of him?

"Fan Xian is getting anxious. With Chen Pingping's help, he can easily kill Lin Gong in less than a year or two, and Prime Minister Lin will have nothing to say."

"But after all this trouble, he still wants to marry Wan'er and take control of the inner treasury, which makes the obstacles even greater."

"But it's good to have a brave heart. It's much better than lying in Danzhou and refusing to come to the capital."

Eunuch Hou continued, "Mr. Lin's poison has been resolved, and he will probably recover in two or three days."

Prince Yong's Mansion.

After Li Changan got the news, he subconsciously thought that the man in black was Wu Zhu.

Because in the original drama, Fan Xian went to assassinate Lin Gong at night, but was intercepted by Wu Zhu on the way.

Then next, Wu Zhu will help Fan Xian kill Lin Gong.

Li Changan's blue-level pagoda has not yet broken through and he is unable to fight Wuzhu.

Lin Wan'er is destined to be Li Changan's woman. It is necessary to remind her brother that he is in danger.

Li Changan has witnessed too many assassinations in Kyoto over the years, and he himself has been assassinated dozens of times while traveling.

People like Lin Gong and Cheng Jushu are all pawns of the big guys behind the scenes, and there is no way to tell whether they are good or evil.

Li Changan is not Cheng Pingping or Wu Zhu. He thinks Fan Xian radiates the light of justice and whoever assassinates Fan Xian should die.

The struggle for power has always been a life-and-death struggle, like a quagmire where it is impossible to distinguish between black and white, beauty and ugliness, right and wrong.

Once everyone is caught up in it, no one is a lamb and no one should claim to be righteous.

Those who are trapped can only rely on kinship, interests, and threats to determine their own behavior.

To Li Changan, Lin Gong’s identity as Lin Wan’er’s brother means far more than being the mastermind behind the assassination of Fan Xian.

But Lin Gong is not very close to Li Changan, so Li Changan will not risk his life to help him.

"Jingwei, go leave a note for Lin Gong, telling him that there is a Grandmaster beside Fan Xian, and ask him to try to save his life."

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lin Gong, who had just been able to sit up, suddenly heard a noise from the window.

By the time he reacted, a note had already flown onto the table in front of him.

When Lin Gong saw the words above, he was horrified!
Great master!
There are four great masters in the world, which one is by Fan Xian's side?

Lin Gong couldn't tell whether the note was real or fake.

After he woke up, he also heard that a swordsman had come last night, with skills at least at the ninth level.

Now, there are hundreds of detectives from the Ministry of Justice and soldiers from the Kyoto Garrison Division on duty in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After all, an assassination occurred in the residence of the prime minister, the head of the Daqing civil servants, and dozens of guards died. It was a huge event!
However, Fan Xian prepared the poisonous smoke himself, and Yingzi never took action in public, so there was no real evidence in this case.

Li Yunrui, the Crown Prince, Lin Gong, and Lin Ruofu have all determined that Fan Xian was the one who did it.

Fan Xian simply hid in the Inspection Institute with his injuries and continued to interrogate the courtesan. Unless Emperor Qing personally ordered Fan Xian to accept investigation, no one could do anything to him.

After nightfall, Lin Ruofu came to Lin Gong's room.

The Crown Prince and the Princess suggested that Lin Gong leave Kyoto and hide in Jiangnan for a while.

But Lin Ruofu held the opposite opinion, "Gong'er, I think it's inappropriate for you to go out."

"Let's not talk about whether the reminder from the Grandmaster beside Fan Xian is true or false. Even if it was the shadow assassin who came last night, if he wanted to kill you midway, dozens of masters would not be able to stop him."

"You might as well stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion. More than 200 detectives from the Ministry of Justice and experts from the Garrison Division are here."

"Wan'er asked Prince Yong, the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince for help. All three sent experts. Even the ninth-rank masters Xie Bian, Wang Qinian, and Xing Yusen came."

"With so many experts protecting you, I don't believe Fan Xian dares to kill you openly."

Lin Gong nodded bitterly, "Father, I know in my heart that the Princess and the Crown Prince actually want me to die. If I die, they will be completely clear of all ties."

"I don't understand. With such experts by his side, why doesn't Fan Xian kill Li Yunrui or Li Chengqian?"

Lin Ruofu quickly covered his son's mouth, "Be careful with your words! Be careful with your words!"

"Father will tell you why. Let alone Li Yunrui and Li Chengqian, even if Father set up a plan to assassinate Fan Xian, Fan Xian would not dare to assassinate Father!"

"Because my father is the prime minister of a country, and those two are the eldest princess and the crown prince!
If we are assassinated, the reputation and actual operation of Daqing will be affected!"

"If Fan Xian touches us, the price he will have to pay is something he cannot afford right now, but it will be different if he touches you."

"If you die, only your father, Dabao and Wan'er will be sad, but it will not affect Daqing at all."

Lin Gong sighed and said, "After all, in this Daqing capital city, the two words of nobility and inferiority are what determine life and death!"

Lin Ruofu corrected him, "In essence, it's the word power!

"My father was also a pariah more than a decade ago, but now he is very important!"

"Gong'er, after you get through this, I will make sure you get into the government, and never wander around like a rootless duckweed again."

After the father and son parted ways, several eighth-rank masters entered the room again. Xie Bian and Wang Qinian listened to the noise outside the door.

Wang Qinian looked at Xie Bian with a smile, "Hey, old Xie..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xie Bian gave him a warm smile in return, "Old Wang, I earn more than you in a month."

"Knowing that you like to poach people, the Second Prince has raised our salaries. We will get eight hundred taels a month, and thirty months' salary a year."

Wang Qinian's smile froze on his face. "I've been in business for five years, and this is the first time I've seen someone so generous as His Royal Highness Prince Biyong!"

Xie Bian smiled and said, "I have to thank you very much. It just went up before I came here yesterday."

Wang Qinian slapped his thigh and said, "Hey! The little alpaca is quite rich..."

Xie Bian frowned and said angrily, "What did you say!"

Wang Qinian quickly changed his words and said, "I said that those who can afford to raise alpacas are indeed rich! By the way, how is the alpaca of the Second Prince?"

Xie Bian snorted coldly and said, "Very good, it will be ready for hot pot in two years."

Late at night, Lin Gong suddenly felt a chill in his chest.

He suddenly opened his eyes and found a young man in black and blindfolded standing beside the bed.

This man who looks seventeen years old but is actually seventeen thousand years old is Wu Zhu.

The masters on the ground around seemed to have been knocked unconscious and lay motionless.

Only then did Lin Gong realize that this was the power of a grandmaster!

The action was silent, and there was no fluctuation of true energy when he attacked!
Wu Zhu's lips moved slightly, and his voice was very low. "Who ordered you to do that?"

Influenced by Wu Zhu, Lin Gong also whispered, "Li... Yun... Rui."

Wu Zhu nodded, "Got it, I will only kill you."

With a flick of his hand, the steel drill instantly pierced into Lin Gong's heart!
This move was extremely fast, and Lin Gong's skin and flesh didn't even move at all, and the steel drill successfully pierced his heart!

　It's vacation now. I drank too much last night and just woke up. The third update will be up later!
