This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 295 Sacred Heart
On the street, Li Fei and Luo Shi, a member sent by Zhige Pavilion, walked side by side.

As a cabinet member and a level 16 official, he naturally had a special car to pick him up when he traveled. However, Luo Shi suddenly received the news and rushed over as quickly as possible, so there was no car, and he and Li Fei could only walk back to the headquarters of Zhige Pavilion.

Luo Shi was looking at Li Fei along the way, and couldn't help but marvel at how calm and composed Li Fei was from beginning to end.

Are all the greatest people in history so courageous?
Li Fei noticed Luo Shi's look and thought with some amusement:
"If the other party knew the last words I sent to the Crown Prince, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to go with me now."

He was not worried that the eldest prince would reveal that statement.

It's embarrassing enough that the other party lost to me today, he won't slap himself in the face again.

Even if we take a step back, even if we really tell it to others, they have to believe it.

As for the eldest prince telling the emperor this, Li Fei was even less worried.

If the other party still had the slightest idea of ​​the throne, he would not go and complain, because doing so would only make the emperor think that the eldest prince was incompetent.
Of course, even without that last sentence, Li Fei's actions today were outrageous enough.

He was speaking from the heart and also did it on purpose, taking this opportunity to test the reaction of his superiors.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

After the court meeting, the emperor and his prime minister Ye Ze'an were playing chess in the imperial study.

The current system of the Great Blue Dynasty is a dual monarchy, that is, the emperor and the cabinet ministers rule the world together.

On the surface, the emperor still holds the highest status and power, and has a veto over all cabinet resolutions.

In other words, as long as the emperor wants, he can prevent the cabinet from doing anything!

But at the same time, without the cooperation of the cabinet, the emperor would not be able to accomplish many things.

The two are in a relationship of mutual dependence and mutual restraint.

Ye Ze'an, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, has been the Prime Minister since the year the current emperor ascended the throne.

Ye Ze'an has been the prime minister for as many years as the current emperor has been on the throne.

It is no exaggeration to say that whenever the Prime Minister says something, at least one-third of the cabinet members will applaud!

Precisely because of his powerful influence, some political opponents cruelly called Ye Ze'an the "Second Emperor".

However, these heart-piercing words could not shake Ye Ze'an's position as the Prime Minister.

Looking around the court, only this Prime Minister is qualified to play chess with the emperor.

"His Majesty."

A eunuch on duty suddenly shouted softly outside the imperial study.

"Come in."

The emperor was holding a chess piece, staring at the chessboard and thinking.

At this moment, he completely lost the powerful and tangible aura he had in the Zhenglan Palace.

Ye Ze'an, who was born with double pupils, sat opposite him, with his face straight and serious.

The eunuch on duty bowed and entered the imperial study. He did not look up from beginning to end, and came to the wooden table where the two were playing chess:
"Your Majesty, news just came from outside the palace that the eldest prince and Li Fei, who was just appointed as the imperial envoy, were competing in public on Niusha Street."

The eunuch on duty recounted the events of the duel between Li Fei and the eldest prince, including the words Li Fei shouted publicly and the final kick.

After hearing his description, neither the emperor nor Ye Ze'an's expressions changed at all.

The emperor's eyes were still fixed on the chessboard, and he asked casually:
"Is the prince asking for a secret book in the royal library for Li Fei?"

The eunuch on duty said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is asking for one of the Eight Parts of the Vajra Sutra."

"Pass on my oral order, allowing Li Fei to enter the Royal Library and choose two secret books at will."

The emperor casually increased the number of secret books and allowed Li Fei to choose one by himself.

"According to the order."

The eunuch on duty left the imperial study.

After he withdrew, the emperor dropped his chess piece:
"What does the Prime Minister think?"

I don't know if he was asking about this move or this matter.

Ye Ze'an looked at the chessboard seriously, and spoke after a moment:

"Your Majesty's move was beyond my expectation."

"Oh?"

The emperor laughed and looked up at Ye Ze'an, "So what do you think are my chances of winning this game?"

Ye Ze'an shook his head: "It's just the beginning, I can't say for sure."

"You, there are many ministers in the cabinet who are good at chess. Do you know why I like playing chess with you the most?"

The emperor asked with a smile.

This time, without waiting for Ye Ze'an to answer, the emperor continued:

"Because those people dare not beat me. Every time they have to spend a lot of effort to lose to me just right, but they can't hide it from me. Playing chess with them is really boring."

Then he smiled and pointed at Ye Ze'an:

"Only you will not give me any concessions on this chessboard, and your chess skills happen to be on par with mine, so playing chess with you is the most fun!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ze'an immediately stood up from his chair and bowed to the emperor:
"I am terrified."

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Sit down and continue playing chess. I really enjoy playing chess with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ye Ze'an sat down again, still sitting upright, his expression as usual.

He thought for a while, then picked up a chess piece and placed it on the board.

The emperor looked down and saw that the person who had just said "panic" was not giving in at all on the chessboard.

He was startled, looked up and exchanged glances with Ye Ze'an, then started laughing.

Then Ye Ze'an also laughed, which was rare.

The hearty laughter of the emperor and his ministers rang out in the imperial study.

The eunuch on duty outside couldn't help but smile knowingly, thinking that this scene was very beautiful.

It's really a perfect match between a king and his subjects.

"This is the headquarters of Zhige Pavilion. Please come in."

Luo Shi stood outside a magnificent mansion and gestured to Li Fei.

"Please come in, Lord Luo."

Li Fei replied politely, and then the two of them walked into the mansion together.

As the headquarters of Zhige Pavilion, the mansion is naturally filled with many experts.

After Li Fei walked in, he saw several powerful people in the Dao Foundation Stage.

There are more than twenty members in Zhige Pavilion, all of them are martial arts masters!

One Pavilion Master and three Deputy Pavilion Masters are all Grand Masters!

Such a force can easily destroy the top martial arts sects in the world that do not have a True Lord or Martial Saint in charge.

When Luo Shi and Li Feixing walked in the mansion, many people looked at Li Fei with strange eyes, and looked at Luo Shi with sympathy.

Soon, Luo Shi took Li Fei into a courtyard and into a house.

"Lord Luo."

There were several people sitting in the room working, with a large number of files on the desks in front of them.

When they saw the two people coming in, they all stood up and saluted.

"This Lord Li Fei is the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty to investigate the 'Lost Longevity Pill Case'."

Luo Shi introduced with a blank expression.

"I've met Mr. Li."

Several office staff in the room saluted Li Fei.

Li Fei returned the greeting politely.

"Go through the formalities for Lord Li."

"Yes."

Then a staff member asked Li Fei some personal information in accordance with the procedures and recorded it.

"Master Li, during this investigation, you can bring up to 20 people from the pavilion to accompany you and assist you in the investigation."

Luo Shi said to Li Fei.

Li Fei looked at him and asked, "What are the restrictions on the candidates?"

"There can be no more than one cabinet member, no more than five officials, and the rest can be anyone they want."

"Do I have no choice but to choose you, Lord Luo, as the cabinet member?"

Li Fei asked. Luo Shi's face darkened: "Yes, the other cabinet members are busy recently and can't leave for the time being."

Li Fei looked at him with a half-smile: "It seems that Lord Luo is not very popular in the cabinet?"

These words startled the other staff members in the room, and they quickly lowered their heads.

Luo Shi's face darkened: "General."

"Did you offend someone?"

Li Fei asked curiously.

A hint of annoyance flashed across Luo Shi's eyes. It had been a long time since a warrior with a lower realm than him dared to speak to him like this.

But he then remembered the kick that Li Fei had given the eldest prince in the street, and he was immediately relieved.

The man in front of him doesn't even take the prince seriously, let alone him?

"Master Li, please ask some work-related questions."

Luo Shi said helplessly.

"Lord Luo will be my partner from now on. We are all in the same boat, so naturally I need to get to know you better."

Li Fei looked into Luo Shi's eyes and said sincerely.

In this investigation, he still hopes to cooperate sincerely with the cabinet member in front of him.

Luo Shi was startled, then his expression eased a lot: "There will be a chance in the future."

Li Fei glanced at the staff who were lowering their heads and pretending not to hear anything, and said to Luo Shi: "Lord Luo knows Zhige Pavilion better than I do. Why don't you choose the remaining candidates?"

"it is good."

Luo Shi was not polite and immediately reported a string of names to the staff in front of him.

Obviously, he had already thought about it, which means he knew that this task would fall on him.

"Lord Luo, Lords Xu Bai and Chang Wenji have just been sent out on a mission, you may have to change two people."

The staff member spoke to Luo Shi cautiously.

The two people he mentioned, Xu and Chang, were both fourth-rank officials, strong men in the Dao Foundation Stage.

There was a flash of anger in Luo Shi's eyes, as well as a bit of shame and annoyance.

This time, only five officers could be brought along, that is, five people at the Dao Foundation Stage. As a result, Luo Shi selected five people, and two of them were absent.

Why was he sent out to carry out the mission at this time? You can tell what the trick is.

Although Luo Shi is a cabinet official, Xu and Chang also have cabinet officials behind them. He knew that he would not be able to forcibly transfer the two.

Fortunately, Li Fei stood there with a normal expression, without making any sarcastic remarks or showing any strange expression, which made Luo Shi less embarrassed.

"Then change two."

Luo Shi mentioned two more names.

There is finally no problem this time.

"Master Li, please come and sit in my room."

Luo Shi said to Li Fei.

"it is good."

"please."

Soon, Luo Shi took Li Fei into his private office.

After he asked the maid to make tea, he sent her out and left him alone with Li Fei in the room.

"All personnel will be here today. When does Lord Li plan to leave?"

Luo Shi asked.

Although his status and cultivation are higher than Li Fei, Li Fei is the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor this time, so Li Fei will be the main person in charge of this case.

"No hurry, I want to wait a little longer."

Li Fei picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and spoke.

Luo Shi frowned slightly: "Master Li, forgive me for being blunt, but since you have already taken on this case, you can't delay it any longer."

Li Fei shook his head: "Lord Luo misunderstood. I don't want to delay, I just want to wait for a result."

Luo Shi was startled: "What's the result?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man came running out of the house:

"Lord Luo, Lord Li, the eunuch from the palace has arrived. Lord Li Fei, please go and receive the decree."

Li Fei was also a little surprised. He turned to Luo Shi and said:

"It seems that the result has arrived."

Luo Shi seemed to be thinking about something.

Then the two of them came to the gate of Zhige Pavilion headquarters together and met the eunuch who came to convey the imperial edict.

Li Fei bowed and waited for the order.

"The emperor has given an oral decree to allow Li Fei to enter the Royal Library and select any two secret books."

Upon hearing this decree, Luo Shi on the side was shocked!
Li Fei beat the eldest prince in the street, and even humiliated him and kicked him.

The result was that he was rewarded by the emperor and could choose any two secret books from the Royal Library? !

You know, except for a very small number of secret books that are not open to the public by the royal family, there are many peerless martial arts in the royal library.

Some of these secret books would tempt even a grandmaster, not to mention a martial arts master!

And now, Li Fei can choose any two.

Is there such a benefit in beating the prince?

In fact, Li Fei himself was stunned for a moment. He did not expect this result.

"Master Li."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict gave a gentle reminder.

Li Fei reacted and said quickly:
"I accept your order and thank you for your grace!"

"Lord Li may enter the palace and the Royal Library at any time today."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict whispered to Li Fei.

"I see. Thank you, sir."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict smiled and nodded at him, then left with his men.

"Is this the result you want?"

Luo Shi couldn't help but ask.

Li Fei: "Let's go back first."

The two of them quickly returned to Luo Shi's room.

As soon as he sat down, Li Fei told Luo Shi what the crown prince and the third prince had said to him.

In order to win over this martial arts master, he must first show his sincerity.

After listening to Li Fei's description, Luo Shi's expression kept changing, and finally he showed a look of sudden realization:
"So the reason you dared to treat His Highness like that today was to test the reaction of the higher-ups and determine which of the two His Highnesses was right?"

Li Fei nodded: "Not bad."

He couldn't judge who was right between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, so he needed a third party to corroborate his claims, and the First Prince was the best candidate.

If what the third prince said is true, this investigation is a great opportunity that may allow Li Fei to soar to fame!
Then the eldest prince, who hated him to the core, might try to find out some clues from above and try to remove Li Fei's status as imperial envoy.

Or try to hinder Li Fei's investigation as much as possible.

And if what the prince said was true, and this investigation of the case was really a life-and-death struggle, then the eldest prince would definitely not stop Li Fei from investigating the case out of revenge.

In any case, with the eldest prince's identity and power, he will definitely be able to find out some real inside information from above, and Li Fei can judge the truth by the other party's reaction.

As a result, before he could wait for the eldest prince's reaction, he received the reaction from the palace first.

The prince originally promised Li Fei that he could take a copy of "Vajra Babu" from the royal library, but the emperor directly asked Li Fei to take another copy.

This looks like he is thanking Li Fei for teaching his son a lesson.
But after the emperor made this move, even if the eldest prince really found out something, he would not be able to react.

"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"

Luo Shi fell into deep thought.

"The heart of the Holy Spirit is hard to predict. I don't want to think about it anymore. I will go to the palace to select the secret book."

Li Fei stood up from his chair.

In any case, by selecting two peerless secret manuals, his strength will be further improved!
