Chapter 184: Second in the world
Lantern Festival in the first lunar month.
In Daqian, this is the most lively festival of the year. Watching lanterns and visiting temple fairs, many young ladies who would never leave the house will come out to join in the fun at this time.
This is the only day in Kyoto where there is no curfew.
The entire capital was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and Chitose's mansion, which held the most power in the country, was even more brightly lit.
Outside the gate of the mansion, there was a bustling line of officials of all kinds who came to fawn over and offer gifts.
Many people came to give gifts, but only a few of them were able to climb the eight and a half steps into the mansion.
In front of the officials, the gate of Chitose Mansion in front of them is a proper dragon gate.
"Second in the world?"
In the inner hall of Chitose Mansion, Wei Zhongxian was lying on a brocade futon, wearing a white shirt and bare feet.
In front of him, half-kneeling, was a dead soldier wearing a black robe.
"yes!"
The deceased soldier of the Wei Mansion knelt in front of the old eunuch, without any emotion in his words.
"Haha, it seems that this time, our family really made a mistake!"
Wei Zhongxian smiled lightly, then looked at Wei Ting standing beside him and said: "I didn't expect that our Lord Zhenfu, who is not familiar with martial arts, could hide so deeply that he could even overwhelm Xiao Li Tanhua..."
When Wei Ting heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he subconsciously clenched the scabbard in his hand.
"Returning to the master, this time the ranking of the weapons spectrum was originally that Li Xunhuan was ahead of Zhao Yu, but Xiao Li Tanhua personally admitted that he was defeated by Zhao Yu in Li Yuan of Taiyuan Prefecture!!"
"oh?"
Wei Zhongxian and Weiwei were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wei Ting, and then waved their hands to signal the dead man to retreat.
After the dead man exited, Wei Zhongxian said: "It seems that when he entered Li Garden, Li Xunhuan didn't go, but was defeated!"
"Well, it seems that he personally killed Shangguan Jinhong, so Baifa Sanqianzhang and King Yun..."
Wei Ting was stunned, then looked at Wei Zhongxian in surprise and said: "Father, is it possible that the thing you want is not in Prince Yun's Mansion at all, but in his body?!"
"You mean, King Yun carried that thing with him, so after Zhao Yu killed him, he naturally pocketed it?"
Wei Zhongxian, who had been calm for a long time, suddenly changed his expression at this moment.
If the thing is really on Zhao Yu's body, then Zhao Yu cannot make the slightest mistake before getting the thing.
"Probably……"
Wei Ting nodded. After King Yun disappeared, she was ordered to secretly sneak into King Yun's palace to search, but she never found the whereabouts of the thing.
There are only two explanations, either the object was not in King Yun's hands at all, or it had already fallen into Zhao Yu's hands!
"Send a message to Fengyulou and ask the experts to touch Zhao Yu's mansion first. As for Zhao Yu himself, don't act rashly yet!"
After Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment, he threw an iron order to Wei Ting who was standing aside.
Wind and Rain Tower.
The most mysterious and terrifying killer organization in Beizhili, the manipulator behind it is this dying old eunuch!
"Father, this..."
Wei Ting, who had always obeyed Wei Zhongxian's advice, hesitated here.
"What's the matter?!"
Wei Zhongxian and Weiwei raised an eyebrow and looked at Wei Ting coldly.
"In his house..."
Wei Ting glanced at the Wind and Rain Order in his hand and said with a wry smile: "He also has a Jiang Yuyan whose martial arts is unfathomable!
According to the current skills of Fengyulou masters, if you approach Zhao Yu’s residence at this time, you will never come back!”
Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said: "Oh, I didn't expect that if someone is not careful, our family will really be able to do nothing to him!"
"Why don't you let the two spies from Zhao Yu's house try it first?"
Wei Ting had just finished saying this, and he felt a little scornful in his heart.
According to Zhao Yu's temperament, and with a master like Jiang Yuyan watching over him, it's surprising that the two maids would have a chance.
"That's fine..."
Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment, and found that there was really no other better way than to treat a dead horse as a living doctor.
It's not that he really can't do anything with Zhao Yu because he is nine thousand years old, it's just that he is too sensitive to get what he wants.
Even in the entire Chitose Mansion, apart from him, only Wei Ting knew something about it.
…
The accident just happened so suddenly.
After the Lantern Festival, Zhao Yu wanted to do the same as usual on the second day, taking Erha to Xiji Shichang to order mao.
At noon, when Zhao Yu, who had nothing to do, wanted to take Erha to skip work, the strongman on duty outside the door walked in.
"Your Majesty, there is a guard outside the duty hall who is calling the general flag to ask for an audience!"
"The general flag of the Jin Yiwei?"
Zhao Yu frowned slightly, and for some reason, an inexplicable feeling came to his heart.
"pass!"
He waved his hands slightly towards Lux.
The warrior clasped his fists and accepted the order. After a moment, he came in with a herald whom Zhao Yu was quite familiar with.
The commander of the Jin Yiwei sent an order to the chief flag officer, congratulations!
"I wonder if Mr. He is here, what's the important matter?"
Zhao Yu smiled slightly, walked down the main hall and came to He An, and asked with a smile.
"Returning to the town, your Majesty the Envoy, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ann Command Room has come to urgently summon you to go to the Commander's Office for duty. There must be no mistake!"
He An cupped his fists and then handed a brocade clothing order to Zhao Yu.
There must be no mistake?!
Zhao Yu looked at the Jin Yi Ling handed over by He An and frowned slightly.
Now An Jianqing is said to be the commander of Jin Yiwei, but in fact he is just a puppet in his hand.
To be able to say such words and bring the Jin Yi Ling, it seems that something big has happened.
"Okay, follow your lead here..."
"Report!!!"
Just when Zhao Yu took over the Jinyi Order and was thinking about going with He An to command the Jinyi Guards on duty, there was an urgent call from outside.
This time, the warriors on duty outside the door did not stop him at all, and the herald in brocade robes rushed directly into the superintendent's duty hall.
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Yu stared at the herald kneeling in front of him, frowning slightly.
The herald from the Supervisory Headquarters did not answer, but looked directly at He An, who was standing aside with a bow.
"He Zongqi, if you can help me, please go back to Jinyiwei to reinstate the commander. Our envoy will arrive soon!"
Zhao Yu turned around and said to He An.
"Follow the order!"
He An didn't hesitate at all, turned around and left the superintendent's duty hall.
After He An left, Zhao Yu looked at the headquarters herald again.
What the herald said next made Zhao Yu almost jump up in shock.
"Your Excellency, Cao Zhengchun, the Governor of the East Factory...is dead!!"
"What?!!"
Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at the herald who was speaking in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
Cao Zhengchun is dead?
How could he die?!
How could he die at the hands of others?!
