Chapter 53: The Cining Palace was robbed, and he took office as the Dali Temple

royal palace.

In the Yangxin Palace, Hong Sixiang was reporting the situation to Emperor Qing.

"Your Majesty, someone just broke into the palace at night. Although I didn't see the man's appearance clearly, he used the Four-Looking Sword Technique."

Hong Sixiang Road.

Emperor Qing's face turned cold: "It's probably those people under Si Gu Jian again. Sooner or later, I will take over Dongyi City!"

Hong Sixiang lowered his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the assassins from Dongyi City, there is another person hiding in the dark watching the battle."

"However, he did not take action, but evacuated the palace before the imperial guards arrived."

Emperor Qing was a little surprised.

The assassins in Dongyi City have always been solitary, so who is this person in the dark?
The fact that this person can hide in the dark without being noticed shows that his strength is definitely above Hong Sixiang.

"Could it be that Si Gu Jian came in person?" Emperor Qing frowned.

At this time, Eunuch Hou hurried into the hall, nodded slightly to Hong Sixiang, and walked quickly to the desk.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Kyoto that a fierce fight took place in the city just now. Judging from the damage at the scene, the strength of both sides is at least ninth rank!"

Hou Gong said.

Emperor Qing frowned, and thinking of what Hong Sixiang had just said, a bold guess emerged in his mind.

Could it be that the mysterious man who sneaked into the palace was not Si Gu Jian, or that he had a grudge against Si Gu Jian?
"Hong Sixiang, you go down and investigate this matter secretly. You must find out who this mysterious person is!"

……

The governor of Kyoto sent out all his soldiers to search the city.

Such a big commotion woke Li Chengping up from his sleep.

"Zhao Gao, what's going on? What are the soldiers doing here at your house?" Li Chengping asked with a frown.

It's probably not a good thing when the government comes knocking on your door so late.

"Your Highness, it's nothing. They are just asking questions as usual. I heard that a big battle took place in the city. The strength of the two men is at least ninth rank."

"The government is now on the move, searching for clues about these two people."

Zhao Gao said respectfully.

There are ninth-grade masters fighting in the city?

Li Chengping was a little surprised.

There are only a handful of masters above the ninth rank in Kyoto City. Ordinary people will never fight in the city, unless they are people who don't care about the rules!

Suddenly, Li Chengping thought of something.

"Where's Wei Zhuang? Has he come back?"

Zhao Gao was stunned and was about to answer when a figure jumped into the yard from outside.

Looking at Wei Zhuang's nightgown which he had not taken off yet, Li Chengping instantly understood the reason.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk."

Li Chengping took Wei Zhuang into the house and looked him up and down. "Where did you go tonight? Are you one of the two people the soldiers are looking for?"

"it's me."

Wei Zhuang nodded and told him about sneaking into the palace and what he encountered.

"I originally wanted to fight with the master in the palace, but I didn't expect someone to show up halfway."

"That man was wearing black clothes and had his eyes covered. He had superb swordsmanship. Although he didn't use his true energy, his strength was very strong!"

"I was a little curious, so I exchanged a few moves with him in an alley in the city."

"It was nothing at first, but who knew he would take out a black stick from somewhere, and the sword in my hand was like rotten wood, unable to withstand a single blow!"

After listening to Wei Zhuang's words, Li Chengping had a rough guess in his mind.

The blindfolded man in black is most likely Wu Zhu, and only he meets all the conditions mentioned by Wei Zhuang.

"If you two really fight, who is stronger and who is weaker?" Li Chengping asked curiously.

"That's not clear yet. To avoid exposing my identity, I didn't bring Shark Tooth with me when I set out. But I can also feel that the man didn't use his full strength!"

Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice.

He didn't expect that there were two masters hidden in the small city of Kyoto. Compared with the masters in the palace, he was more interested in this masked man.

Although he had not cultivated any true Qi, he was still able to fight with him back and forth. The opponent could even accurately predict each of his moves.

"Okay, don't go to the palace if you don't have to. If you want to go, ask me in advance."

Li Chengping said seriously.

Wei Zhuang nodded, turned and left.

Looking at the figure disappearing into the darkness, Li Chengping frowned.

He didn't care about Wei Zhuang sneaking into the palace, but he was curious about why Wu Zhu entered the palace at this time.

and many more.

Fan Xian just entered the palace during the day today, and Wu Zhu sneaked in at night. This is too much of a coincidence!

at this time.

Zhao Gao hurried into the house with a note in his hand.

"Your Highness, there is a secret report from the palace!"

Li Chengping's eyes lit up and he opened the note on the spot. When he saw the content, his expression became serious.

"The Cining Palace was robbed, the Queen Mother lost a valuable item, and the entire harem is under martial law!"

After seeing this secret letter, all of Li Chengping's doubts were resolved.

The reason why Wu Zhu entered the palace at night was probably to cover for Fan Xian.

The appearance of Wei Zhuang directly alarmed the imperial guards and palace guards, and invisibly created more favorable conditions for Fan Xian.

The things that the Queen Mother lost were most likely the key to open the mysterious box in Fan Xian's hand.

"It seems that the thing finally returned to Fan Xian's hands, but he has no bullets now. It is just a firewood stick for now."

Li Chengping smiled faintly.

He didn't expect Luowang to be so powerful that there were even members lurking in the Qing Kingdom's palace.

These people are truly extraordinary as they were able to send out messages even when the imperial city was under martial law!
Now that I know what happened, I can sleep well tonight.

the next day.

After breakfast, Li Chengping went directly to the Dali Temple.

Anyway, Xin Qiwu is there to deal with the Honglu Temple, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Came to Dali Temple.

At the door, two listless soldiers were leaning on the stone pier, leaning on their weapons, staring at the early morning sun and snoring.

At first glance, Li Chengping thought he had come to the wrong place.

He raised his head and confirmed again and again that the plaque above was correct, then walked forward and patted the soldier on the shoulder.

"Wake up!"

The soldier half-closed his eyes and glanced at Li Chengping: "For minor cases, go to the governor of Kyoto, and for major cases, go directly to the Supervisory Council."

After saying that, he changed his position and continued sleeping.

Li Chengping's mouth twitched, and he resisted the urge to curse. He grabbed the soldier's shoulders and lifted him up.

"I am the newly appointed Minister of the Dali Temple!"

The soldier was still a little skeptical at first, but when he saw the certificate in Li Chengping's hand, he was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down in a hurry.

"Your humble servants Feng Er and Wang San greet you, Your Excellency!"

Li Chengping's face was gloomy and he glared at the two of them.

"Humph! You two slept during your tenure. We'll settle this account later!"

"Feng Er, you stay here to guard the door, Wang San, take me in!"

Wang San didn't dare to refuse, and he took Li Chengping into the yard obediently.

Compared with the clean and tidy environment of Honglu Temple, the Dali Temple appears messy.

The yard was covered with fallen leaves, with no one clearing the weeds or trimming the branches.

There was not a single person in the huge yard!
