Xuanxia

Chapter 1041 Just right
After leaving the study, Wu Yan gradually quickened his pace.

The ring on his palm struggled more and more violently, and the force had begun to pierce his palm, leaving indelible sword marks on his finger bones.

"Stop struggling."

He said in his heart, "You are the sword of punishment, right? Today, I can let you execute the evildoer."

Before going to the Yuan family to lurk, Master Baihe had vaguely told him that if he encountered the Eight Kingly Swords, he could try to persuade them.

Wu Yan also knew that Fu Qingzhou had been loaned the sword by the emperor.

He didn't know how to convince these divine swords, but he roughly knew that the sword of punishment might be used to punish the wicked?

Unexpectedly, after Wu Yan said this in his heart, Xing Jian actually calmed down.

No… not exactly like quiet.

It no longer stabbed Wu Yan, but began to emit a strong murderous intent. It was different from the killing between swords and on the battlefield. Wu Yan was unfamiliar with this murderous intent. He felt that... it was a little superior.

"Fortunately, we left that area. If we stayed there, this aura would definitely be discovered by others."

Wu Yan gripped the ring tighter, feeling a bit troubled.

He had been lurking in the Yuan family for several days and knew that Fu Qingzhou had come, but seeing that Fu Qingzhou was hiding very well, he did not meet with him. Instead, he silently carried out his tasks and secretly investigated account books and rosters.

He guessed that Fu Qingzhou would show up at the sword tasting competition today, so he arrived at the venue very early... But he overheard the conversation between Yuan Zizhen, Gu Jinchen and others in secret.

So, Wu Yan found the servant who was supposed to deliver the message, got rid of him, changed his face, and went to meet Fu Qingzhou.

"Unfortunately, a lot of people will be killed again this time."

He sighed, “But it seems there is no way.”

This is no longer the days when I traveled around with Zhu Mei. At that time, I was learning how not to kill people. But now I have joined the Xuanmeng, someone gives orders, and it seems... what I am doing is the right thing, the thing to atone for my sins, so it is okay even if I kill people.

Wu Yan came to a small forest in the Yuan family and began to change clothes.

He took out a bundle from an inconspicuous tree hole. When he opened it, he found all kinds of clothes inside, including clothes for servants, guards, cooks, night clothes... and even clothes and wigs for maids.

But this time, he just changed into the most ordinary guard attire.

Then he started changing his face.

Of course, it was not a human skin mask, but wax, honey, a little rouge, horsetail bristles... After he rubbed and filled these things on his face with his hands, they slowly turned into Fu Qingzhou's appearance.

Of course, they are not 100% similar, but judging from the hairstyle, eyebrows, and facial features, they are already 90% similar. When Wu Yan imitated Fu Qingzhou and raised the corners of his mouth to smile, the similarity was almost flawless.

He understood what Fu Qingzhou had said before.

Fu Qingzhou wants the sword of virtue.

But now he had to step into the Yuan family's trap... If he wanted to turn against them, there was no need to take the initiative to step into that kind of environment. That was something only a fool would do. If Fu Qingzhou wanted to leave, he could just leave.

So, he didn't want to leave, he wanted to continue lurking.

In this case, someone is needed to play the role of "Fu Qingzhou" to clear him of suspicion.

"Fu Qingzhou" is going to get the Sword of De.

And it has to make enough noise to "inform" the people in the bookstore.

After completing the disguise, Wu Yan tilted his neck and moved his limbs.

His cultivation level is some distance away from Fu Qingzhou's current level, far from the other party's level, so it will be dangerous in a while.

But it doesn't matter... If I can convince the Sword of Virtue like I did the Sword of Punishment...

Moreover, when he is on a mission, retreat is never his first consideration.

……

In the study, Fu Qingzhou closed the door.

Yuan Zizhen sat at the tea table and made tea just like last time.

But this time, the sword of benevolence was not placed on the sword rack, but on the table.

"sit."

Yuan Zizhen looked up and smiled at him. Fu Qingzhou sat down and said, "Sir, Governor, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I have thought about it carefully." Yuan Zizhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed: "You really didn't tell a single lie."

Fu Qingzhou was shocked: "Sir, what do you mean? Do you suspect that your subordinates are deceiving you?"

"No."

Yuan Zizheng responded, then pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table.

"Take it up and commit suicide."

He said calmly and indifferently: "Since you are a member of the family, your life and death are in the hands of the family. If I tell you to die, you must die... So, commit suicide."

Fu Qingzhou's eyebrows jumped.

Yuan Zizhen was also very straightforward and without any fancy moves. He would rather kill a family elite by mistake than let any suspect go.

The only thing is... if we have to let those priests hiding in the dark take action to kill an ordinary family elite, it would be a bit of an exaggeration.

Therefore, Yuan Zizheng arranged for "Yuan Lieyang" to commit suicide.

If this person really committed suicide, then there is nothing we can do. We have wrongly blamed him and he should be buried with honor.

If this person is not Fu Qingzhou, but does not want to die and wants to attack suddenly, with the sword of benevolence in his hand, Yuan Zizheng is not afraid.

That's really accurate...

If he had not met Wu Yan, Fu Qingzhou would have killed Yuan Zizheng first and then fought his way out. After all, the situation was now a fight to the death.

But when I met Wu Yan...

He picked up the dagger on the table, a heavy look on his face.

"Sir, did I do something wrong?"

Fu Qingzhou stared down at the knife, his lips pursed tightly, his voice trembling slightly: "I can, I will make amends for my crime..."

"No need."

Yuan Zizhen's face didn't waver at all: "Commit suicide. You don't need to know too much. You just need to know that your death is very important."

His hand had already intentionally or unintentionally rested on the sword of benevolence on the table.

Fu Qingzhou sighed deeply.

"Damn it Wu Yan, do you understand what I asked you to do? Hurry up! Hurry up!" He kept urging in his heart.

But the expression on his face just became more and more painful, and then he slowly grasped the sharp knife with both hands and pressed it against his heart.

"grown ups."

Fu Qingzhou looked at Yuan Zizhen, his voice trembling even more: "Will my death be of any use to the family?"

"Yes, it's very useful." Yuan Zizhen had a smile without any smile on his face: "We will bury you with honor after you die."

"it is good!"

Fu Qingzhou gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and yelled: "For the sake of my family——"

Before he could finish his shout, a louder noise suddenly came from the direction of the square in the distance!

"Hahahaha!"

"Thank you for being so generous. I, Fu Qingzhou, gladly accept this German sword!"

The next moment, a violent wave of sword intent spread out, and bursts of exclamations were heard from the direction of the square. Then the wave of sword intent spread to the study. Fu Qingzhou, who was about to "commit suicide", was shocked and the dagger slipped out of his hand immediately.

But Yuan Zizhen's eyes were no longer on him.

With a clang, Yuan Zizheng raised the sword of benevolence and stood up in horror!
He raised his head and was about to speak when a sound like thunder came from outside the house!

"Quick! It's Fu Qingzhou! He took the German sword! Go kill him!"
