Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 100: In order to prevent being accused of deceiving the emperor, it is necessary to report

Looking at Leng Feibai's expression, Yan Ruohai said nothing, but just bowed.

Fan Xian and Leng Feibai quickly returned the greeting and watched Yan Ruohai go back.

Seeing this, Fei Jie said calmly, "Let's go, I'll take you two guys off."

"You go first!"

Chen Pingping turned his wheelchair and said, "I have something else to say to these two children."

Fei Jie nodded, and reluctantly took the prison cart to wait outside the north gate of the city.

"There's no rush!"

Chen Pingping looked at Fei Jie's back and said, "Fei Jie was in Northern Qi, where he had several fights with the Jinyiwei and was seriously injured. Then he heard about you and rushed back at full speed, covering 800 miles. So remember to ask him to come back soon."

Fan Xian nodded, looked up at Fei Jie's back and said, "Why don't we let the teacher come back and rest?"

Chen Pingping grabbed Fan Xian's sleeve and said, "This is a token of his kindness. Don't let it go to waste. You two should go to Taiping Villa. Someone is waiting for you there!"

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he still set off towards Taiping Villa.

Leng Feibai didn't rush to leave. Instead, he lowered his head and whispered to Chen Pingping, "Dean Chen, don't forget our agreement. When I come back, it will be time for you to fully recover."

Chen Pingping didn't react at all, just nodded silently.

Inside the Taiping Villa, Leng Feibai and Fan Xian arrived outside the courtyard one after another.

The Imperial Guards surrounded the place. Gong Dian, who had just taken over as the commander of the Imperial Guards, looked at the two and said, "His Majesty is waiting for you at the place where you last met. Hurry and go over."

The two nodded and quickly ran into the room where Emperor Qing was staying.

Emperor Qing turned his back to the two of them and said calmly, "I didn't originally want you two on this mission to Northern Qi, but you're young after all, so it's good for you to go out and see the world!"

Leng Feibai said nothing, while Fan Xian said jokingly, "Your Majesty, I don't think I am mentally retarded."

Emperor Qing turned his back to the two of them, a trace of helplessness flashing across his face. He then said, "Do you two know the real purpose of this trip to Northern Qi?"

Leng Feibai shook his head. It was a better choice to pretend to be stupid at this time.

Fan Xian answered based on what he knew, "They said they were going to escort Xiao En and Si Lili back to Northern Qi, and then exchange Yan Bingyun for her. But Dean Chen said there are some other tasks and he'll tell me when the time is right!"

"Someone from the Third Division of the Inspection Institute poisoned Si Lili!"

Emperor Qing said calmly, "This poison won't kill you, but it will kill both of you during intercourse, hence the name Red Sleeves!"

"I think it's the White Sleeves that summon the spirits!"

As soon as Fan Xian finished speaking, Emperor Qing said to Leng Feibai, "There's one more thing. Leave it to Leng Feibai. If you complete it successfully, the position of head of the Seventh Division of the Inspection Institute will be yours."

Leng Feibai was slightly stunned, then said helplessly, "I know that after I get Yan Bingyun back, I will find an opportunity to kill Xiao En. But Your Majesty, I still have something to report to you!"

Emperor Qing was stunned and waved his hand, "You say!"

"The mission to Beiqizi is a big deal!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "I can guarantee that even if Shangshan Hu, Lang Tao, and the Jinyiwei join forces, I am confident that I can bring Fan Xian back safely. But if Ku He shamelessly interferes in this matter, Fan Xian and I will have no choice but to fake our own deaths to escape, so I must report this to Your Majesty in advance."

Emperor Qing couldn't help but twitch his face after hearing this, and said unhappily, "Why are you telling me about this? You can just act accordingly when the time comes."

"This needs to be reported!"

Leng Feibai said in a serious tone, "Faking your own death could be considered deceiving the emperor, a crime punishable by execution of the entire family!"

"You boy!"

Emperor Qing said helplessly, "Okay, I understand. I will not hold you or those who assisted you in faking your own death guilty of deceiving the emperor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Leng Feibai said happily, "I will devote myself to this mission until my death. I will definitely complete the task assigned by Your Majesty!"

"Stop talking nonsense here!"

Emperor Qing said angrily, "Remember this, you two. Even if you fail to complete these missions, as long as you return alive, there will be no punishment." Fan Xian was stunned after hearing this and quickly said, "Even if the missions cannot be completed, as long as Brother Feibai and I return alive, that's all that's needed."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Emperor Qing's fur stood up like a wild cat, and he said, "This is my order, both of you, get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai immediately pulled Fan Xian away from Taiping Villa.

Emperor Qing looked at the backs of the two men, couldn't help but sigh, turned around and pressed a mechanism on the wall.

"boom"

A mechanical wall opened, revealing a corridor.

Emperor Qing walked in with the candlestick and came to the end of the corridor.

At the end of the corridor was an airless room, and deep in the room, an uncorrupted female corpse placed in a crystal coffin appeared in his eyes.

"Our son has gone to Northern Qi!"

Emperor Qing looked at the crystal coffin, a hint of self-proclaimed affection in his eyes. "If you were still alive, you would probably scold me. But the son-in-law you chose has also gone with him. I hope he can bring Xian'er back safely."

After saying this, Emperor Qing turned and left the room.

Outside the north gate of Kyoto, Leng Feibai and Fan Xian hurried back to the north gate.

Fei Jie looked at the two people who had suddenly arrived and said, "Have you met His Majesty?"

"Um"

Fan Xian said with emotion, "I feel like I've met a fake Majesty, Teacher. What the Majesty just said to me could have been said in the palace. Why did he come to Taiping Villa to say these things?"

Although Fei Jie knew the answer in his heart, he didn't dare to answer. After all, no one could guarantee that Fan Xian could remain rational and calm after knowing the answer.

"I should have gone with you."

As soon as Fei Jie finished speaking, Fan Xian quickly refused, "Don't do that, Teacher. You should stay home and recover from your injuries first."

Fei Jie sighed and said, "That's right. With Fei Bai accompanying you, I don't have to worry about military matters. Besides, he went to Northern Qi in his early years and knows the situation there."

Leng Feibai nodded and said, "I guess so. If Ku He doesn't take action, then there's no need to worry about the others. Shang Shanhu, He Daoren, Lang Tao, these are the only nine-rank ones in Shangjing City that need my attention. The others are even easier to deal with."

Fei Jie heard this and jokingly said, "You've managed to pull one more down, but I'm afraid this person will be very difficult for you to deal with."

"Cough cough!"

After hearing this, Leng Feibai coughed and his eyes suddenly became unnatural.

When Fan Xian saw there was a melon to eat, he immediately became excited, "Teacher, who are you talking about?"

"Your sister-in-law!"

Leng Feibai looked like he had given up. After all, what happened between him and Haitang Duoduo was no secret to those old hands in the Inspection Institute.

Fei Jie looked at Leng Feibai's apprehensive expression and said directly to Fan Xian, "The Saintess of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo, is one of the finest masters among the Ninth Rank. Even Shadow would have to be careful against her. But with Feibai here, she can't threaten you."

Fan Xian also remembered it at this time and looked at Leng Feibai with interest.

The next moment, a vine flew out from Leng Fei's white sleeves and waved towards Fan Xian.

Fan Xian immediately turned to look at Fei Jie, who continued, "Next is Shang Shan Hu. Like Fei Bai, he takes a bold and decisive approach. He has led troops to resist attacks from barbarians and our Qing Kingdom many times. If Yan Bingyun hadn't gone undercover in Northern Qi and commanded spies to cut off Northern Qi's food supply, we wouldn't have won this battle so easily. Of course, he's the one in Northern Qi who most hopes Xiao En will return."

After hearing this, Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then he will definitely not take action. After all, I am sending his adoptive father back."

"Don't be careless."

Leng Feibai said helplessly, "The number of people in Northern Qi who hope for Xiao En's death far outweighs the number of people who hope for his return. Shang Shanhu is well aware of this, so he will definitely rescue Xiao En along the way. This is the only way to save his adoptive father's life."
