His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

"madman!"

"You crazy person!"

"Don't think that just because you think that, I will..."

When Zhou Gong felt the pain on his face, he reached up and touched it, only to find that he had bled quite a bit. A surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

As the most powerful and senior person in the court, when had he ever been so disrespected?

He still couldn't believe that this guy, a high-ranking official in the court, would actually dare to kill him, unless he himself didn't want to live anymore.

He flicked his sleeve and took a step forward.

They even wanted to say some righteous and awe-inspiring words to show off their magnanimity.

But suddenly his eyes met Xu Bing's, and a sharp wind blade that seemed to solidify into a tangible form.

Xu Bing's face showed a slight hint of mockery.

His deep eyes revealed a resolute and cold expression.

Zhou Gong was so frightened that he staggered, his legs trembling, and he almost lost his footing.

He quickly composed himself, saying, "I don't need you to tell me; I will share weal and woe with all my soldiers!"

With that, he flicked his sleeves and strode out of the tent with a forced air of composure. He could barely walk more than ten steps without needing assistance.

He was inherently afraid of death, but outwardly he pretended to be tough and resolute, which not only failed to inspire admiration but also gave off an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

Xu Bing saw this clearly. This was the leadership of Da Xi. How could Da Xi not decline under such circumstances?

Seeing that even the Duke of Zhou acted this way, the other officials naturally dared not disobey Xu Bing's wishes.

In an instant, civil and military officials went outside the tent and joined countless soldiers in getting soaked in the rain.

This is exactly the effect that Xu Bing wanted.

In terms of official conduct, interpersonal relationships, and balancing human relationships, Xu Bing admitted that he was inferior to the officials present, and far inferior to Ji Yuan.

He could only drag Dae Hee forward on his own.

Today, the officials are being drenched in the rain; this is the first step he has taken.

Let the officials, who have been living in comfort for too long, taste fear once again.

Xu Bing felt it was a bit of a pity.

He hoped that Duke Zhou could persist a little longer, so that he could make an example of him and do a more thorough job.

"Master Song."

"This rain is just in time."

Xu Bing looked at Song Si.

Upon hearing this, Song Si's expression changed.

Followed by.

Xu Bing suddenly said loudly, "Since everyone has already enjoyed the sweet rain, it is not impossible for the rain to stop."

As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly.

Above the clouds.

A loud eagle's cry rang out.

A white eagle swooped down from ten thousand meters in the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

With its sharp claws, it gripped the clouds and pulled out a blue bead.

Then, with a forceful squeeze, the blue bead shattered into pieces, and the rain in the sky receded at a visible speed.

Moonlight pierced through the clouds.

Xu Bing flung his sleeves and left.

……

After confirming that they have left.

Duke Zhou was so angry he jumped up and down, "Outrageous! Outrageous! This boy is so arrogant, it's against humanity! It's against humanity!"

……

"Yes, using sorcery to disrupt the court, if I'm not mistaken, this boy will surely die within seven days! If not, I'll take his surname!"

"It's outrageous that we've been soaked in this rain for nothing. Even His Majesty wouldn't be so reasonable."

……

Everyone is talking badly about Xu Bing.

Yet no one was not genuinely afraid of this man.

They had just felt a sense of dread.

I could feel countless wind blades slicing past my side.

Life and death are separated by a single thought.

"Gentlemen, this fellow possesses magical powers and is indiscriminate in judging matters. He cannot remain in the court any longer. Let us jointly petition His Majesty to accuse him!"

"Correct!"

"Even if it costs me my old life, I cannot allow this brat to continue to wreak havoc on the court and the people!"

"I stand firm before Heaven and Earth, and I will never coexist with Xu Bingshi!"

……

The civil and military officials were surprisingly united in their hatred of the enemy.

By this stage of development, the social hierarchy in Daehee had become solidified.

Song Si frowned and picked up the broken beads from the ground.

These are her raindrops.

Ungraded magical artifacts do not possess any destructive power, but they can store rainwater and then activate it to create rain.

It could have been of great use, but it was ruined by Xu Bing.

“Xu Bing…I underestimated you before.” Song Si’s eyes flickered slightly as she picked up a fragment with two fingers and examined it closely.

The magic that guy possesses might not be so mediocre after all.

Even she felt a chill run down her spine from the wind blades just now. She could also use "wind blades," but she could only launch them one by one, unlike Xu Bing who could kill countless wind blades by mixing them together in the wind.

"I wonder if they've found His Majesty yet," Song Si murmured.

……

the other side.

The person dressed in black was still searching in the backyard.

If he had the time, he would definitely search the entire Imperial Preceptor's residence thoroughly.

However, the Imperial Preceptor's residence is simply too large.

Even if one person searched all night, they might not be able to find everything.

Therefore, he went to the backyard first, starting his search for clues from the last possible place.

He didn't actually know who he was looking for.

All he knew was that the person was very important and absolutely could not be lost.

Meanwhile, he was searching for it.

Ji Yuan, sitting in the front hall, frowned slightly.

At this moment, her mouth was sealed with a white cloth, and her speech was silenced by acupressure, so she could not make a sound or move.

An hour earlier, she had indeed heard faint sounds of someone climbing over the wall. She knew that Song Si and the others had sent people to her residence to look for her during the military exercise.

"Xiao You, you've finally done something decent."

Ji Yuan thought helplessly.

If Xu Bing is the biggest culprit in her current state, then Zhou Xiaoyou is the biggest accomplice.

What made Ji Yuan feel even more frustrated than the injustice itself was that she couldn't blame the accomplice, because the accomplice believed that she was trying to save her, doing something bad with good intentions, while she, as the person in charge, couldn't persuade him to change his mind no matter what she did.

It is evident that Ji Yuan felt utterly desperate at the time, fueled by Zhou Xiaoyou's instigation.

"Ok?"

Why haven't you come yet?

After waiting another half hour, Ji Yuan glanced around and realized something was wrong. His location was so obvious; he shouldn't be undetectable.

She had just been worried that her disheveled appearance might damage her prestige if it were to become known later, but now her heart was in her throat.

"During the military exercise, Song Si should be able to hold off Xu Bing."

"Why haven't you come to the hall to look for it yet?"

A hint of anxiety flashed in Ji Yuan's eyes.

This kind of waiting is the most agonizing.

the other side.

After Xu Bing came out of the military field, Song Si quickly caught up with him, "Grand Preceptor, please wait!"

Her voice was as clear and melodious as a nightingale's, and if one only heard her voice, one would think that she must be a fairy from the mountains, untouched by the mortal world.

Xu Bing turned around. He knew all about the woman's dealings with Zhou Xiaoyou. "What brings you here, Master Song?"

“Grand Preceptor Xu, the Great Xi is currently beset by crises. I see that you are a man of great ambition, and I would like to have a chat with you,” Song Si said.

"Oh?" Xu Bing knew the deeper meaning behind this move—it was simply a stalling tactic—and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Let's talk about Da Xi," Song Si said.

......

This conversation lasted until half the night.

We arrived at the gate of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Song Si still refused to leave. She smiled charmingly, "Since we're already here, won't the Imperial Advisor invite me in for a seat?"

The main hall of the Imperial Preceptor's residence faces the main gate directly.

They are only about 100 meters apart.

And now...

Song Si's voice reached Ji Yuan's ears through the door as he waited anxiously.

"Minister Song, I have been waiting for you for so long." Ji Yuan narrowed her eyes, perked up her ears, and spread out the aura of an empress.

Someone sneaked into the backyard to search, and Song Si took the initiative to visit the front yard.

She was prepared to be discovered, and deliberately projected an imposing aura to maintain her image as an empress.

Song Si had a smile on her face.

How could she not know that a crow was watching outside the Wutong Palace? Legend has it that some people are born with a spirit crow, which serves as their third eye.

I suppose Xu Bing was such a person.

She did this on purpose, turning the tables on him.

The plan was to force Xu Bing to change the location where Ji Yuan was hiding. Any such movement would inevitably leave traces and reveal the flaws in the plan.
