Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

The news that the two guards of the Crown Prince failed in their attempt to assassinate Prime Minister Zhou in the street and were killed instead soon reached the palace.

When His Majesty the King received the report, he looked very disappointed.

However, I heard that the one protecting Prime Minister Zhou was Supreme Jade, a former member of Xia Lou. His Majesty the King felt strange. Is the Supreme Jade of Xia Lou so powerful?

You must know that the two masters who are protecting the prince both have the strength of the ninth level of Qianyuan Realm.

And I heard that the fight was very short and the two guards of the prince were killed.

This shows that the Supreme Jade is very powerful and its killing move is also very powerful.

Why hadn't we discovered such a master before? Why hadn't we invited him to the palace to protect us?

His Majesty's imagination ran wild, and he asked the general who came to report, "Which sect did that Supreme Jade come from?"

The general reported, "According to the people at Xialou, his hometown is Liangzhou, and he cultivated immortality at Feixianmen. Liangzhou now belongs to Western Chu, and Feixianmen now belongs to Eastern Yan. He didn't want to serve Eastern Yan, so he came to Changzhou City to serve Western Chu."

His Majesty the King nodded. "No wonder I've never heard of such a master before. But now that the Crown Prince has assassinated Prime Minister Zhou, how should this be handled?"

The general saluted and said, "I don't know, but Prime Minister Zhou wouldn't dare to retaliate against the Crown Prince, would he?"

His Majesty the King waved his hand in annoyance: "Go down."

After the general left, the queen came hurriedly: "Your Majesty."

His Majesty the King was dissatisfied and said, "You have taught your son well. If he assassinates someone in the street, it will be fine if it succeeds. At most, it will become an unsolved case. But if it fails, how will it end?"

The Queen said, "The Zhou man will certainly not give up. He will definitely find a way to threaten the Crown Prince's life in the future. It is better to mobilize all the experts in the palace, surround the Prime Minister's Mansion, and completely destroy the Zhou man. Put an end to it once and for all."

His Majesty the King cursed, "Asshole! With such tactics, how will the entire court, the civil and military officials, and the people react? Will anyone still respect that Crown Prince?"

The Queen asked, "Does Your Majesty intend to watch the Crown Prince being killed?"

The king became annoyed again: "What are you two factions fighting about for no reason? Where is the dragon bone now?"

He waved his hand: "Go away, annoying."

The daytime passed by bit by bit, and at night, someone made a secret visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The man was wearing a very loose robe and a hood, leaving only his two eyes visible to see the road, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

It was not until the man entered the Prime Minister's study that he took off his hood.

It turned out to be a noble lady.

There seemed to be only two people in the study.

But Lu Xunhuan hid behind the bookshelf.

The expression on the lady's face was very serious.

"Prime Minister, they are desperate to kill you. If anything happens to you again, what will we do? All of Fifth Brother's previous plans have been ruined."

Prime Minister Zhou said, "The time is not yet ripe. We don't have control over the Imperial Guards and the Cavalry Battalion, so we can't act in advance."

The noble lady said disappointedly: "In this case, we can only wait for death."

Prime Minister Zhou said, "You shouldn't have come. If you hadn't come, those people might not have known about our previous plans. If you came, and it was exposed, they would know immediately and kill you and your son tomorrow."

The lady said, "You didn't even send a letter. I was worried that something bad might happen to you."

Prime Minister Zhou said, "Two masters, you tried to assassinate me in the street, but were killed by my guards. You should know that my guards are very powerful, so there is no need to worry."

The lady asked, "Are you talking about the Supreme Jade?"

Prime Minister Zhou nodded: "Yes, he is my bodyguard now."

The lady said, "Since he is so powerful, you should send him to kill that bastard first, so that he won't try to kill you again."

Prime Minister Zhou shook his head. "Now, if we kill that bastard, even a three-year-old child would know it was me."

The lady asked, "Do you have a foolproof plan to avoid any more trouble?"

Prime Minister Zhou said, "I'm thinking about it. You can go back first. I'll let you know when I've made up my mind."

The lady said, "I've got a plan for you. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable if you kill that bastard? How about you just go all out and kill his parents as well?"

Prime Minister Zhou covered his forehead and said, "This matter has become a big deal. Do you want your son to be branded as a regicide and usurper of the throne?"

The noblewoman said, "As long as we can conquer the world, why bother about being criticized? Anyone who refuses to obey can pack up and leave. A new emperor appoints new ministers. If things really don't work out, we can just replace them all."

Prime Minister Zhou pondered for a while and said, "You go back first. Let me think about this."

He asked, "By the way, did you bring your guards?"

The lady replied, "I didn't bring him into the Prime Minister's residence. I only met him on the way."

Prime Minister Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back first, or go secretly. I will send a servant to take you back."

After the noble lady left, Lu Xun Huan emerged from behind the bookshelf. "She is indeed decisive in killing, but decisiveness requires strength, not just passion."

Prime Minister Zhou said, "Hurry up and protect him secretly. I'm afraid something will happen to her."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.

The noble lady left the Prime Minister's Mansion, got on a carriage, and quietly traveled through the streets.

Two men in black were lurking not far from the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When they saw this situation, they began to discuss in a low voice.

One person said, "He's so mysterious, he must be from somewhere. Let's capture him and see who he is."

Another person said, "Okay, let's follow and see where the carriage goes."

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived somewhere in the east of the city and stopped.

The lady got off the carriage, still wearing the large black robe that made it impossible to tell her gender and a hood.

A man with his face covered came to meet them.

After the call was made, the masked man stood guard at the street corner. The lady said nothing, but just walked forward and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

When the two followers behind saw that they were about to lose their target, they stopped hesitating.

The two men rushed out, intending to kill the masked man first and then chase the mysterious man in front.

At the street corner, the sound of swords clashing could be heard immediately.

The masked man had to deal with two people, and his disadvantage was immediately apparent. He had to fight and retreat, and the situation was very critical.

Just a few dozen steps ahead, the noble lady was walking in the darkness when she suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing from behind.

She understood that there was trouble.

She quickly broke into a trot.

But after running only a dozen steps, she found it difficult to see the road because of the hood she was wearing, and she accidentally stepped on an uneven surface and immediately fell down.

When she tried to stand up again, she found that she had sprained her ankle.

She looked up at the sky in despair. Was this her fate?

At the street corner, the masked man was outnumbered and finally couldn't hold on any longer. He was hit in the leg by a sword.

He thought he would die here today.

But his sacrifice was a small matter. Once they killed him and recognized him, they would know who his master was.

The two opponents pressed him with one move after another, and he was almost in despair.

But at this moment, a purple fairy sword suddenly appeared in the darkness.

One of the two pursuers had been pierced by the magic sword from the back to the chest.

Another man discovered that his companion had been killed and tried to run away.

But the purple fairy sword quickly turned around and danced towards him with thousands of sword flowers.

In a flash, hundreds of sword holes were pierced on his body.

He collapsed in fear.

Who is this person and what is his strength?

But he could only keep his doubts in his heart.

The dead can no longer speak.

The person who came was Lu Xunhuan.

After quickly dispatching the two pursuers, he went over to support the masked man and asked, "How are you?"

The masked man said, "My thigh is bleeding. I can't send the master back. Otherwise, there will be bloodstains. You should quickly catch up with the master and send her back quickly."

Lu Xunhuan put away the magic sword, threw away the masked man, and flew forward.

After a few dozen steps, he arrived in front of the lady.

"Your tail has been cut off. How are you? Do you want me to take you there?"

The lady whispered, "I sprained my ankle."

Lu Xunhuan immediately pulled her up and carried her on his back: "Tell me the location."

Somewhere deep in the palace, Lu Xunhuan was carrying the noble lady on his back.

The lady kept whispering to him in his ear and pointing the way.

He finally sent the lady back to the compound as quickly as possible and then quietly returned to her room.

He put the lady down, took off her shoes, touched her feet, and asked quietly, "Is it dislocated? I'll help you fix it, or do you want to find someone to fix it yourself tomorrow?"

The lady whispered, "Just help me, why bother disturbing others?"

Lu Xunhuan fumbled and took off her mask: "Bite it, don't make any sound."

Then he grabbed the lady's ankle and twisted it.

"Woo..."

The momentary pain still made the lady utter a vague sound.

Then, she grabbed Lu Xunhuan, took a few breaths, and whispered to him, "Okay, thank you, Supreme Jade."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "How do you know it's me?"

The noble lady said, "You are the only one who can succeed. If you are successful in the future, you can choose any official position except the position of Prime Minister."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Let's not talk about that. By the way, how old is your child?"

The lady said, "Fourteen."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay, you rest, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he slipped away.

After returning to the Prime Minister's office, he told Prime Minister Zhou about the situation.

Zhou Xiangguo was still terrified: "It was a close call. If it weren't for you, I would have been doomed."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "I specifically asked her how old the child was, and she said he was only fourteen. Why would the Fifth Prince choose a fourteen-year-old to support?"

Prime Minister Zhou sighed, "Concubine Fang is from the Fifth Prince's mother's family. They probably had a plan from the beginning. Now that we've come this far, there's no turning back."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Okay, I won't ask anymore."

Prime Minister Zhou said, "Now that you know where she lives, it will be easier for you. If you have any news, please help pass it on. Don't let her run around anymore. It's too dangerous."

Lu Xunhuan picked up the teacup: "Okay."
