After Fan Xian came down from Mount Dadong, he began to search in the direction where Emperor Qing had left.

Emperor Qing deliberately avoided Fan Bin and concealed his tracks along the way.

Fan Xian couldn't find it for a while.

In terms of understanding Fan Bin, Emperor Qing is definitely among the top three. Even Zhan Doudou and Fan Jian may not know Fan Bin better than Emperor Qing.

After that battle, Fan Bin did not take direct action out of concern for his disciples and relatives on Mount Dadong.

But after that, Fan Bin would never let go.

Now everyone said that Fan Bin was the fifth Grandmaster in the world, with unparalleled strength. It was not an exaggeration to even say that he was the strongest Grandmaster.

And Fan Bin's title as the Daqing God of War is well-known to everyone...

But in addition to these two names, Fan Bin actually has another name, which is also very famous.

That is the Mad Dog of the Imperial Capital.

At that time, Fan Bin was not yet a grandmaster, but had just broken through to the ninth rank not long ago. He was serving as the deputy commander of the imperial palace guards.

The capital of Qing Kingdom is full of experts.

Generally, those famous ninth-rank masters are the strongest fighting forces active in front of the public and the trump cards of major forces.

They rarely take action.

No one can guarantee that they will win.

Once they lose a fight, it will not only affect their own reputation, but may even affect the forces behind them.

The price is too high and no one is willing to bear it.

Fan Bin was stuck at a bottleneck at the time and urgently needed a master to learn from and break through, so he issued a challenge to those ninth-rank masters.

But just because he wants to find someone to compete with, it doesn't mean that the other person is willing.

Things were not going very smoothly.

At this time, Fan Bin's mad dog attributes broke out.

In order to achieve his own goals, Fan Bin did everything he could.

He blocked Yan Xiaoyi's gate and challenged the commander of the imperial guards, Yan Xiaoyi, in front of all the guards.

In order to challenge Ye Chong of the Ye family, Fan Bin deliberately set up a fight with Ye Zhong, beating up everyone in the Ye family and forcing Ye Chong to compete with him.

In addition, there is Shadow, Qin Ye...

Fan Bin defeated all the famous ninth-grade masters in Kyoto.

Because of this incident, Fan Bin also offended many powerful people.

Someone reported him in the court.

Fan Bin went to the family's house that night, and it is said that both parties drank and had a great time...

The reason why Fan Bin was able to run rampant back then was, on the one hand, because of his kung fu, which was invincible among the ninth-grade masters.

When Fan Bin fights with others, the most he wins is a draw, he has never lost.

On the other hand, it was because of Emperor Qing’s protection.

Because of this feeling between the two sides, Emperor Qing knows it better than anyone else. Once Fan Bin makes up his mind to do something, there will be no obstacles. Can anyone stop him?

Even if it rains knives from the sky, Fan Bin will do it.

Fan Bin’s current achievements are due not only to his own talent and understanding, but also to unparalleled resource support.

There is another very important reason, that is, Fan Bin is persistent enough.

Previously, Fan Bin chose to endure and did not take the initiative to kill Emperor Qing because of their previous friendship.

In the battle on the Dadongshan arena, Emperor Qing's sneak attack on Fan Bin had completely exhausted all the friendship between them.

Fan Bin will never hold back against Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing knew this very well.

So of course he had to hide...

Even though there were several temple messengers guarding him, Emperor Qing still couldn't feel at ease.

Fan Xian searched all the way but never found any clues.

Even if he transferred personnel from the Inspection Institute, he was unable to find any clues.

Just when the young man was feeling extremely anxious.

A black figure appeared in front of him and disappeared in an instant.

"Did you see anyone just now?"

Even someone as strong as Fan Xian once doubted whether he had seen it wrong?
He turned and asked the men around him.

"There is no one around here? Sir Xiao Fan, please don't joke..."

Wang Qinian conducted a very careful investigation.

As a result, nothing was found.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Although everyone around him said in unison that they saw nothing, Fan Xian still felt that the black-clad figure that flashed by was extremely familiar.

His feet moved quickly and he immediately caught up with him.

Wang Qinian was shocked when he saw Fan Xian leaving.

"So fast!"

Today, Master Fan’s speed in Qinggong is probably no less than that of Wang Qinian.

At most, there is still a small gap in skills.

Those skills were the experience Wang Qinian had accumulated from years of escaping.

It's not something that can be caught up overnight.

Fan Xian chased all the way, and just when he lost his direction, the black shadow in front of him would always flash by in time.

At first, Fan Xian was just skeptical.

When the black shadows appeared one after another, Fan Xian had already confirmed their identities.

They ran for a quarter of an hour, and there was no sign of anyone around them, only wilderness.

And a manor appeared in front of the wilderness.

"Uncle Wuzhu, don't run away."

Seeing that there was no one around, Fan Xian spoke.

In front of him, a black figure stopped. When Fan Xian caught up, he found that the black figure was Wu Zhu.

"I was afraid you might be in danger, but seeing how strong you are despite your age, there's no need for me to worry."

At this time, Fan Xian actually vaguely guessed Wu Zhu's identity.

Fan Xian had seen the temple messenger several times and had seen him killed twice.

Compare the temple messenger's every move with Wuzhu's.

Plus their outfits are almost identical.

Wu Zhu's identity has already surfaced.

He is the temple messenger!
However, Wuzhu is different from ordinary temple messengers. Not only does he not obey the temple's orders, he is also more lively than other temple messengers.

From Fan Xian's point of view, he obviously did not want to treat Wu Zhu as a machine, but would rather treat Wu Zhu as an elder who grew up with him.

"You want to look for Emperor Qing?"

Hearing Wu Zhu's words, Fan Xian nodded, "Uncle, do you know where he is hiding?"

Wu Zhu pointed to the manor in front.

There wasn't a single guard patrolling around the manor, and it looked quite lonely.

"There is no village in front of this place, and there is no shop behind. How could he come here, Your Majesty?"

The words were not finished.

But Fan Xian has figured out why Emperor Qing appeared in this lonely manor?
"Your Majesty is really trying hard just to avoid my elder brother."

After saying this, Fan Xian prepared to step in.

However, as soon as he moved, Wu Zhu reached out to stop him.

"Uncle Wuzhu?"

"It's very dangerous in here."

Wuzhu’s words are concise and to the point.

"I know who you're talking about, but they shouldn't do anything to me?"

Fan Xian smiled bitterly.

Although Emperor Qing had a falling out with his eldest brother, he did not make it clear that he would stand on his eldest brother's side.

Emperor Qing had no reason to deal with him at this time.

As for those temple messengers, they had even less reason to attack Fan Xian?

"You don't understand. They are the enemy. They are the ones hunting us."

Wuzhu spoke.

Hearing this, Fan Xian subconsciously widened his eyes.

"Uncle Wuzhu, have you recovered your memory?"

The Wuzhu before didn’t remember these things.

But now that he said that the temple messenger was their enemy, the one who had once hunted them... that meant that Wu Zhu had at least recovered some of his memories.

"My memory is fragmented and unclear. I just remember that they chased me."

While speaking, Wuzhu shook his head desperately.

These people learned this from anthropology, and he wanted to regain his composure.

But such an action had no effect on him as a temple messenger.

"Don't worry, uncle. This is not the first time I have dealt with them..."

Fan Xian said very confidently.

This was indeed not the first time he had dealt with these people.

Since these temple messengers had not attacked him before, there was no reason for them to do so at this time.

"Remember, be careful. If something goes wrong, run to the back door."

Wuzhu's memory becomes increasingly confused.

At this time, he didn't even believe in his own memory.

But Wu Zhu still hasn't forgotten his mission to protect Fan Xian.

"I understand, uncle. If you really can't remember, then don't think about it for now."

Looking at Wu Zhu's condition, Fan Xian felt extremely worried.

"I'm fine..."

Fan Xian made up his mind, took a deep breath, and walked towards the door.

The gate of the manor was closed and the surroundings were silent.

It looked like they didn't welcome guests at all.

Fan Xian didn't hesitate, he just floated up like a ghost. Fan Bin appeared in the courtyard silently.

Just as Fan Xian landed in the yard, he heard a low wailing sound...

His voice was hoarse, obviously he was trying hard.

But physical pain cannot be endured simply by relying on willpower?
What frightened Fan Xian even more was that the wailing sounded strangely familiar to him.

"Who is it?"

Fan Xian walked around the courtyard and looked for the source of the sound.

The manor looks deserted from the outside, but it is actually a very interesting place inside.

There were eunuchs and palace maids serving us along the way.

Fan Xian saw more than a dozen people.

These people obviously did not follow here, but had settled down in this courtyard a long time ago.

Looking at the previous battle at Mount Dadong, Emperor Qing was not only prepared to win, but also prepared to lose.

This was the healing base he had chosen in advance.

It is estimated that when it was built, it was to deal with Emperor Qing’s current predicament.

"To be able to force a great master-level ruler to this point. Big brother is really..."

Fan Xian shook his head.

He didn't care about the eunuchs and palace maids, but there were many masters of the imperial guards, including the guards of the inner palace.

Judging from their breathing, these people are not simple.

Fan Xian walked around them and finally found the source of the wailing.

It was a naked man tied to a wooden stake.

In front of the man was a thin old man.

The old man said nothing and pointed the blade in his hand at the old man's body.

"Thorn."

The blade didn't cut deep into the body, but it still looked scary.

This is not over yet.

The old man actually used the blade in his hand to scrape off a piece of flesh from the man's body.

It had to be scraped off so abruptly.

Fan Xian has been in this world for a long time, and he has seen a lot of the dark sides of this world.

But Fan Xian had never seen such cruel punishment before.

He had only heard of it.

But now, he witnessed it with his own eyes.

"Is Emperor Qing crazy?"

Fan Xian's first thought was not to step forward to stop it, but this thought.

At such a critical moment, why did Emperor Qing use such a punishment on one of his subordinates?
Isn't this clearly intended to alienate his subordinates from him?

As far as Fan Xian knew, ordinary soldiers might not be able to do anything.

But if they want to make people unhappy, they are not completely powerless.

In ancient times, when two armies were at war, a general rewarded his troops with meat. As a result, everyone else ate it, except for his coachman.

The next day, when the two armies were fighting, the coachman pulled the cart directly into the enemy camp.

Emperor Qing had never seen such a truth.

But he himself must have understood it.

"Who on earth could make His Majesty so angry?"

Fan Xian looked up.

The person who had his head down coincidentally raised his head at this moment.

Fan Xian recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

The moment he recognized the other person's identity, Fan Xian felt so angry that it was about to rush to the top of his head.

"Why is it him?"

The person being tortured was none other than Chen Pingping, who had shot Emperor Qing with a shotgun before.

Originally, Fan Xian didn't want to be high-profile.

But when he saw Chen Pingping's face clearly, Fan Xian's remaining sanity disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Since Chen Pingping appeared here, it meant that he must know this place.

But Fan Xian had previously looked for someone from the Inspection Institute in an attempt to find Emperor Qing's hiding place.

But those people from the Inspection Office said they didn't know.

All of this was obviously planned by Chen Pingping.

He knew he was coming, but he didn't want Fan Xian to be involved.

"stop!"

With a roar, Fan Xian appeared in front of everyone.

But after seeing him, those people had no intention of stopping.

"Master Fan, we are following the orders of His Majesty. Execute the criminal Chen Pingping..."

The old man holding a knife in his hand raised his head slightly with a proud look on his face.

This old man is unknown.

But when facing Fan Xian, who had ninth-grade strength, he did not retreat at all.

Fan Xian ignored the old man. He just looked at Chen Pingping with a worried look on his face.

"why?"

With Chen Pingping's ability, it is impossible for him not to know that the battle between Emperor Qing and Fan Bin has not yet ended.

Since he knew that Emperor Qing was going to harm him, Chen Pingping should have hidden himself for a while.

At this time, Chen Pingping had more than a dozen pieces of flesh cut off his body and was completely naked.

Looking miserable.

But Chen Pingping seemed to have let it go. He did not care about his current situation, but answered Fan Xian's question first.

“Some things are meaningful only if you do them yourself.”

He had already set up a killing plan for Emperor Qing.

Before Emperor Qing died, Chen Pingping just wanted to do something that he had always wanted to do but couldn't do.

This was not just his explanation to his good friend.

It was also his explanation to himself for his forbearance and sacrifice over the years.

"what!!!"

Fan Xian took off his coat and tried to cover the old man in front of him.

But the old man with a knife in his hand stopped him.

"Master Xiao Fan, why are you here? I won't ask. But His Majesty asked me to deal with this prisoner, and you have no right to stop me."
