This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 292 No blessing or misfortune
"Li Fei, walk with me."

Outside the Zhenglan Palace, the prince said to Li Fei.

Mingqi then said goodbye to the two of them, and Li Fei accompanied the prince to one side.

The prince raised his hand, and the eunuchs and maids waiting not far away stepped back sensibly, leaving space for the two of them.

"Li Fei, do you know why I have to go to Daluo Sect in person this time to promote Buddhism in front of Master Qingxu?"

The prince spoke.

Li Fei: "This should also be what your majesty and the Prime Minister mean, right?"

Taoism had not been involved in party struggles before, so there was no need for the prince to deliberately offend Taoism in order to win over Buddhism.

After all, Taoism is still the most powerful sect now. Even if the prince wins over the Shangqing Sect, it will offend the Daluo Sect, which is not worth the loss.

So there is only one explanation, that this was the intention of the emperor and the prime minister, and the prince was just following orders.

"Yes, this game is played by my father and the Prime Minister. Even if I am alone, I am just a knife that opens the way."

The prince laughed at himself.

Li Fei understood the implication of his words.

The other party is the prince and is qualified to act as a knife in this game of chess. Who am I?

Is he of royal blood? Or is he protected by a great master?

"Li Fei!"

The prince suddenly turned around and shook Li Fei's hand tightly. "You must listen to me. Don't think about finding out the truth when handling this case. Go to Daluo Sect to go through the process, and then come back to report. No one will blame you if you say that the case has no results."

Seeing Li Fei's silence, the prince lowered his voice and said solemnly:

"Li Fei, I promised you that when I ascend to Dabao, I will definitely re-examine the case of your master and master's aunt! Why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Fei was stunned. No wonder the other party wanted to send his subordinates away first.

This really cannot be heard by others.

He bowed to the prince again: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"

A hint of disappointment flashed across the prince's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

He helped Li Fei up and looked him in the eyes seriously: "Think carefully and don't be impulsive."

Li Fei then bid farewell to the prince and went to retrieve the Ghost Slayer Sword that he had deposited with him. The eunuch who had accompanied him here took him out of the palace.

After the other party took him for a distance, a young eunuch came towards them.

The two eunuchs looked at each other and nodded.

The old eunuch turned to Li Fei and said, "Sir, I will lead the way here, and then he will take you out of the palace."

Now that Li Fei is the imperial envoy, he changed his address to Li Fei from "Young Master" to "Sir".

"Okay, thank you."

Li Fei did not look down on the other party just because he was a eunuch and remained very polite.

The old eunuch's eyes softened, he smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

"My lord, please come this way."

The young eunuch was very respectful. He bent his waist slightly and took small steps to lead the way.

After walking for a while, Li Fei found that this route was different from the one he came here, and it became more and more secluded. There was not even a eunuch or maid around.

He glanced at the young eunuch leading the way in front and was not worried.

Is there anyone in this palace who dares to attack him?
What's more, he had just been appointed as the imperial commissioner by the emperor. To take action against him at this time would be a slap in the emperor's face, wouldn't it?
After walking for a while, they saw a black car parked next to a palace in front of them. Next to the car stood a maid with an ordinary appearance and figure.

Li Fei narrowed his eyes.

He did not sense any aura from the maid, but his 'danger perception' made him feel the danger vaguely.

"Sir, the Third Prince invites you."

The young eunuch turned around and bowed to Li Fei.

"Third Prince?"

Li Fei thought of the note he received last night.

It seems that my guess was correct. The note was sent by the Third Prince.

He walked forward calmly and came to the black car.

"Sir, please."

The maid opened the back door of the car and gestured to Li Fei to get in.

Li Fei turned his head and looked inside the car, only to see a man in a python robe sitting inside, smiling and waving at him.

The Crown Prince, the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince all look somewhat similar, but their temperaments are different.

The prince has an obvious noble air, but he always humbles himself, which makes people feel good about him.

The eldest prince has an obvious military bearing and a heroic air.

As for the third prince in front of him, he had a more feminine air and looked like a romantic and unrestrained nobleman.

Li Fei got into the car without hesitation and sat next to the third prince.

The maid outside closed the car door gently.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Qin Ziyuan."

The third prince smiled and spoke to Li Fei casually.

"Meet the Third Prince."

Li Fei bowed.

"I had someone deliver the note last night."

The third prince went straight to the point.

Li Fei nodded: "I guessed it, why did the Third Prince remind me?"

"You are the peerless genius, the best in history, so of course I want to do you a favor."

The third prince said as a matter of course.

Li Fei laughed at himself: "It's a pity that His Highness doesn't think so."

The Third Prince turned and looked at him: "The eldest prince has a fierce personality and is a martial arts prodigy, but he is far inferior to you. It is inevitable that I am a little unhappy to see a genius like you being used by the Crown Prince."

Li Fei was stunned: "Your Highness, are you saying that the eldest prince is actually jealous of me?"

"Hahaha!"

The Third Prince laughed wantonly, and then said meaningfully:
"The prince is also a human being."

Li Fei was silent.

"In fact, the boss openly suppressed you in front of the palace today. The prince must be happy to see it."

The third prince suddenly changed the subject and said.

Li Fei remained calm and did not respond.

The Third Prince looked at him with a half-smile: "You are a smart man, you will understand if you think about it carefully. The more the eldest brother suppresses you, the more opportunities the crown prince has to protect you and help you, so that you can owe him more favors and be loyal to him."

"It turns out that the Third Prince is here to kill me, too."

Li Fei said calmly.

The third prince was startled and laughed again.

"Hahahaha!"

Others' laughter might seem artificial, but his laughter made people feel very natural, with a sense of elegance. The Third Prince pointed at Li Fei and said, "If I'm right, after the court meeting, the Crown Prince will definitely find you and tell you not to investigate the case seriously, just deal with it casually, and then come back to report. When he ascends to the throne in the future, he will naturally help you review the case."

It has to be said that the third prince really knows his two brothers very well.

First, he guessed that the eldest prince would attack Li Fei today, and now he has accurately guessed what the prince said to Li Fei in private.

"What advice do you have, Third Prince?"

Li Fei asked.

The Third Prince restrained his smile and said, "Have you ever thought about why it was the Crown Prince who went to the Daluo Sect this time? Why was he the one who went to win over the Buddhists? Why was he the one who publicly pleaded for the Buddhists and spoke for them in front of the palace?"

"The prince may tell you that he was acting on orders, but in fact, he fought for these opportunities. He saw the benefits in this game, so he rushed forward!"

"Our prince is an extremely smart man. He saw more than me and the boss, so he got the upper hand in this game."

Li Fei fell into deep thought.

The prince had previously said that he was acting on orders, and had no choice but to act as a knife in this game of chess, and had to offend Taoism and the Daluo Sect.

But now listening to what the Third Prince said, it seems that the other party took the initiative to do so because there are huge benefits in it?
The third prince sneered, "Duan Qi thought he had gotten rid of a hot potato and had a chance to solve a major problem for the Lu family, but he was just being too smart. If the head of the Lu family was here today, he would definitely not give you any chance to re-examine the case!"

Hearing this, Li Fei's eyes lit up and he seemed to be thinking about something.

The Third Prince looked at Li Fei and said, "The Crown Prince's advice to you is not to investigate the case seriously, but to do it perfunctorily. I also have a suggestion for you."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"This is an opportunity. If you can seize it, maybe you can not only fulfill your long-cherished wish, but also have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and soar into the sky!"

The car became quiet.

Li Fei was silent for a while and looked at the third prince:
"Your Highness specifically told me all this today, are you trying to do me another favor?"

The Third Prince restrained his smile and showed a serious look for the first time:
"I am different from my eldest brother. As long as you don't stand on his side, he will regard you as an enemy. But for me, as long as you don't interfere in the fight between us, you can gain my friendship."

He did not try to win over Li Fei, but only hoped that Li Fei would not interfere in the fight between the princes.

Li Fei shook his head: "Your Highness should know that I have no intention of getting involved in this dispute."

If the prince hadn't said he would bring him to see the emperor, he wouldn't even come to Lanling City.

"I see."

The third prince nodded:

“Sometimes not making a choice requires more strength than making a choice, but I believe you can do it because you are the first in history!”

Led by the young eunuch, Li Fei walked out of the palace gate, left the imperial palace, and then took a car to leave the imperial city.

At the same time, inside the palace, the third prince was still sitting in the car.

After a while, the maid named Xiaohua opened the car door and whispered:

"The eldest prince has left the palace with his men."

The third prince was startled, then laughed, "My eldest brother really never holds grudges overnight."

He thought for a moment and said to Xiaohua, "Let's leave the palace too."

Xiaohua silently sat in the driving seat, started the car and left.

After a while, the young eunuch who had sent Li Fei out of the palace returned here happily.

He was stunned when he saw that there were no cars or people here.

Then he felt a chill on his back, and a palm force penetrated his back and broke his heart meridian.

The young eunuch opened his eyes wide and died.

Soon, the place where Li Fei and the third prince had a secret conversation became clean without any trace.

In the car leaving the imperial city, Li Fei was thinking all the time.

The Crown Prince and the Third Prince gave him completely opposite advice.

One told him not to investigate carefully, just go to Daluo Sect to deal with it perfunctorily, and then come back to report.

One that tells him this is a great opportunity and he should seize it.

Who the hell is telling the truth?

If the Third Prince was lying, it was to instigate Li Fei to die!

And if what the third prince said was true, Li Fei might miss a good opportunity.

Whether this investigation is a blessing or a curse ultimately depends on Li Fei's own choice.

Ten minutes later, the car drove out of the imperial city.

Li Fei got out of the car. Next he would go to the headquarters of Zhige Pavilion in the inner city to receive his assignment.

Walking on the streets of the inner city of Lanling City, Li Fei felt the prosperity and bustle of the imperial capital.

The inner city is the 'old city area', and the outer city was expanded later to accommodate and settle more people from other places.

Therefore, the inner city is considered the real imperial capital, and many people in the inner city have a greater sense of superiority, believing that they are authentic people from the capital.

Bicycles and rickshaws passed by Li Fei. There were crisscrossing railway tracks in the middle of the street, and from time to time a tram could be seen passing by.

Tall buildings can be seen everywhere, with huge posters hanging on them.

Many shops have neon signs outside.
The origin of the Mingxin Reforms is in Lanling City, which was the first place to be influenced by "Westernization". Therefore, the Lanling City in front of Li Fei has undergone tremendous changes compared to the imperial capital more than ten years ago!

Of course, many iconic buildings have been preserved.

There are many cultural features of the Great Blue Dynasty that can still be seen today.

For example - a duel between warriors.

The Da Lan Dynasty was founded on military power and had a strong martial spirit. The tradition of resolving grudges through martial arts duels has been passed down to this day.

There are still many "duel arenas" left in Lanling City. If there are warriors who need to settle a grudge, they can go to the "duel arena" and duel in public.

As long as both parties sign a life and death contract, there is no need to worry about government investigation even if someone dies afterwards.

Li Fei now came to a 'duel arena', which was a circular stone platform, about the same size as the 'Dragon and Tiger Arena' where he had publicly competed in Datong Prefecture.

At this time, there were several children holding branches in their hands, hitting each other on the "dueling stage", having a lot of fun.

Li Fei smiled and was about to leave.

A convoy suddenly drove up from the street on the left.

There were two black "Feilong" luxury cars, one in front and one behind, and the one in the middle was a golden "Golden Dragon".

Only the royal family can ride on the 'Golden Dragon'!

Li Fei felt something and stopped.

Pedestrians and vehicles on the street gave way when they saw the convoy, and people around looked over curiously.

The leading Pegasus luxury car continued to speed up and headed straight towards Li Fei who was standing on the side of the road!

Li Fei held the Ghost Slayer Knife in his hand and stood there calmly, with no intention of dodging at all.

Seeing the car getting closer, people around couldn't help but exclaim.

squeak--

A harsh friction sound rang out on the street.

The black sedan finally braked suddenly, and the front of the car was less than thirty centimeters away from Li Fei's legs!

But Li Fei didn't even look at this imposing car, his eyes were always on the "Golden Dragon" behind it.

A guard came forward and opened the door. The eldest prince, wearing a golden military uniform with red edges, got out of the car, holding a broadsword wrapped in dark green scale armor in his hand.

Seeing the eldest prince getting off the car, Li Fei smiled and couldn't help but think of what the third prince had said before:
"The prince is also a human being!"

There will be more at night
