Huangxiu

Chapter 229 Major Case
"Uncle, it would be better to send one or two more Grand Masters today."

"Um--?"

"I suddenly have a bad feeling. Today is likely the day when the Jade Ding Sect or the Secret Shadow Sect will take revenge."

"An ominous feeling..." Chu Qingfeng looked at him, thought for a moment and sighed: "Okay, I know your intuition is accurate."

This is a proven fact.

"Thank you, uncle!" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "They may have ambushed in the valley in advance."

He had just had a bad feeling, sensing that danger was coming from the direction of the valley.

Now I have this premonition, it is very likely that those people have already entered the valley.

"...Okay." Chu Qingfeng gritted his teeth, his face looking grim.

Chu Zhiyuan said goodbye and left.

Chu Qingfeng began to make arrangements.

In the evening, when Chu Zhiyuan and his companions came out of the valley chatting and laughing, they found that there had been changes around the valley.

A faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

Chu Zhiyuan had already seen the changes inside and outside the valley.

It wasn't just blood, but also the already decorated cottage and tidied flower beds were all in a mess.

The grand masters didn't have the time to clean up the battlefield and left long ago.

Looking at this scene, you can tell that it was a fierce battle and many people died.

When everyone stepped into the valley, Huang Cheng was already standing in the valley, clasping his fists and saluting.

Two middle-aged eunuchs in red followed behind him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Envoy Huang, thank you for your help."

Huang Cheng smiled and said, "It is my honor to serve you, my lord."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Are they the guys from the Yuding Sect?"

Huang Cheng said with a smile: "Not only the Yuding Sect, but also the Secret Shadow Sect's cubs are scrambling to seek death. There is no choice but to fulfill their wish."

"How many died?"

"Twelve from the Yuding Sect, and six from the Secret Shadow Sect."

"They are all masters, right?"

"Yes."

"We have killed so many demon masters in one go. This is cause for celebration."

"It's all thanks to the prince."

"I do have some credit," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "My bait is so effective. I guess they won't give up and will continue to catch fish, even bigger ones."

"Your Highness is wise!" Huang Cheng laughed, "With their vengeful nature, they will definitely come again!"

"The next time, it will probably be directed at my parents and sister, or even Ruo Ling."

Huang Cheng hesitated and nodded slowly.

These little devils are not afraid of death and are impulsive, but they are not fools and will not die in vain.

Even though you know this is a trap and bait, you still come here to be fooled.

Therefore, it is very likely that the target will turn to Prince Yuan's family, and Prince Qing, the princess, and the county princess will all be in danger.

Even the young lady of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion is equally dangerous.

"Your Majesty, could you please send some more Grandmaster Guards?"

"This..." Huang Cheng looked embarrassed.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Are we going to watch my father and mother being avenged by the evil sect monster?"

"I will report the truth to the emperor." Huang Cheng said.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Thank you, Envoy Huang."

"I dare not." Huang Cheng said hurriedly.

Chu Zhiyuan and the others continued to practice.

Even when practicing in the valley at night, one could still feel the purple light falling, which was extremely magical.

Chu Zhiyuan practiced diligently, and seeing this, Chu Mingxuan and the other two also followed suit and practiced diligently.

Chu Zhiyuan practiced all night until the next morning when the sun rose completely high.

The result of such hard training is a trace of pure internal energy.

He slowly figured out the taste.

Purple silver can be divided into innate and acquired.

The purple light absorbed from the void is innate. After the qi is influenced by it and becomes pure, it will be pure forever.

The purple light absorbed from the strange stone is acquired. After the qi is influenced by it and becomes pure, it is only pure for a short time.

After the internal energy in the body is consumed, the replenished internal energy will restore it to the level before absorbing the purple light.

It is like a pond. One way is to change the water quality from the source, and the other is to only change the water quality in the pond.

The acquired purple light in the purple stone is only a one-time consumable and cannot be regenerated.

The innate purple light that descends from the void is a regenerative product that lasts forever.

The Zi Yang Sutra is truly full of mysteries.

The more he practiced, the more wonderful it felt. He never got tired of it, and he practiced hard for a whole night and a whole morning, but still felt unsatisfied.

I just have to go back to the Ministry of Rites to report in.

As the Left Vice Minister, I can be absent for a short period of time, but not for too long.

Ministry of Rites
As soon as Chu Zhiyuan entered his main house, Gao Lingfeng hurried over to pay his respects.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and said with a smile: "Master Gao, thank you for your hard work."

Gao Lingfeng hurriedly said solemnly: "It is my duty to share your worries."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and asked, "How is the city now?"

"As the Dazhen envoys are leaving the capital, more and more martial arts masters are leaving."

"Master Gao, are you relieved?"

"I am indeed relieved."

"Then change the rules back and don't make them so strict anymore."

"...Yes." Gao Lingfeng clasped his fists helplessly.

He knew this day would come, he just didn't expect it to be so soon.

He was finally going to die as a temporary order issued by the Left Vice Minister.

Without strict suppression orders, Yujing might no longer be so quiet.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Master Gao, you need to relax and tighten up. You can't keep pressing too hard all the time."

Gao Lingfeng was startled for a moment, then overjoyed, clasping his fists and saying, "Your Excellency is wise."

He immediately understood that Chu Zhiyuan was not unaware of his strict order, but was pretending to be unaware and actually acquiescing.

Obviously he agrees with his own ideas.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Has anything big happened recently? Nothing, I'm going to stay in seclusion for a few days."

Since there will be no shortcuts in the future, you should seize the time and practice hard.

Merit is not that important to me anymore.

If it weren't for the fight for the throne, I would just ignore worldly affairs.

They lived freely and comfortably in Yujing City, either cultivating themselves or sightseeing, having a great time.

He even ignored the affairs of the court and the army.

"My lord, something big has indeed happened."

"What's the matter?"

"There's a traitor in Baiyun Sword Palace." Gao Lingfeng said solemnly, "A true disciple of Baiyun Sword Palace assassinated his master."

"Regicide?"

"True disciple Zhou Tianqi assassinated master Kong Xueming."

"No success?"

"It almost worked. It was Master Kong Xuemingming and other elders who happened to come and saved his life."

"Did the elder witness Zhou Tianqi's assassination?"

"Yes."

"...It's really a shocking event." Chu Zhiyuan thought of Huang Shirong.

"What about people?"

"We are pursuing you."

"Then they haven't caught him yet?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "How many days has it been?"

"It just happened yesterday." Gao Lingfeng said, "I think he will be brought to justice in the next two days."

"A true disciple killed his master. This is the first time in the history of Baiyun Sword Palace... This is also the first time for the four major sects, right?"

"Yes." Gao Lingfeng said solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Have you asked the reason? You wouldn't kill Master for no reason... Are you too harsh, or do you have some other grudge?"

"According to Kong Xueming, no."

"...Let's talk about it after we catch him." Chu Zhiyuan said.

When he returned to the palace, he saw Huang Shirong and her two daughters on the street.

Seeing him from afar, Wen Qianqian waved her hands vigorously, and Xu Mengyu also smiled.

Huang Shirong was indifferent.

Chu Zhiyuan came closer with a smile and looked at Huang Shirong: "Master Huang, you look sad again."

Huang Shirong smiled bitterly: "The prince has heard about it, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Is there any inside story?"

"Elder Kong and Senior Brother Zhou were like father and son, how could such a tragedy happen?"

"Then we'll talk about it after we catch the person." Chu Zhiyuan said, "The White Cloud Sword Palace is also catching people, right?"

"Yes." Huang Shirong nodded: "The sect's Law Enforcement Hall is also chasing."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "No one died, it's not a big case, don't worry."

"Yes." Huang Shirong smiled bitterly.

It's not a big case, but it's a big scandal.

The Baiyun Sword Palace now became more famous, but it was a bad reputation.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and chatted with Wen Qianqian and Xu Mengyu for a while, then they parted.

As soon as he returned to Prince Qing's Mansion, he was greeted by Feng Xi, who told him that the Grandmaster's Mansion had sent eight guards.
