Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 272 Fu Junzhuo Leaves Jiangdu, Vows to Assassinate

Several days later, the imperial guards in the Jiangdu Palace set off one after another.

Today, Xu Qing is leaving this palace and returning to the capital of Daxing.

A vast army escorted Xu Qing out of the city. He sat in the dragon carriage, and the people along the way all retreated and prostrated themselves on the ground.

Yuwen Huaji led the team at the front, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, his sharp eyes scanning the surrounding situation.

Among the many common people, there are many martial arts practitioners, as well as spies from various forces.

There was another person standing in the distance, wearing a veil so that his face could not be seen, but he was tall and had a sword hanging at his waist, so he was a swordsman.

"You dog emperor!"

Fu Junzhuo looked into the distance; her injuries had long since healed during her recuperation.

I've been waiting for the right opportunity.

Now, this dog emperor has once again left the palace and is returning to the north.

This might be her chance!
She was going to carry out another assassination attempt. She came to the Central Plains with only one mission: to assassinate Yang Guang.

If we don't succeed, we can't go back.

This was her master's instruction, and also a decision she made herself.

However, the city of Jiangdu is not suitable for an assassination at the moment.

She wouldn't act rashly; instead, she would wait until she was outside the city to find an opportunity.

Therefore, she just stared at it from a distance without making any other move.

Inside the dragon carriage, Xu Qing sat upright, with Wanwan in a red dress behind him, massaging his shoulders with both hands.

She never imagined that one day she would be able to sit on the imperial dragon carriage, an experience that she found quite magical.

Through the gauze window, one could see the people kneeling and worshipping on both sides of the road. This feeling of supreme power stirred one's soul.

The white ape was also inside the dragon carriage. It controlled its size and shrunk to the appearance of a small monkey, which looked very cute.

It doesn't show any violence and is extremely entertaining.

It had little interest in the external world, but silently tempered its bone marrow, controlled its breathing, inhaled and exhaled the essence of heaven and earth, and enhanced the vitality of its blood and qi.

"How is your practice of the Heavenly Demon Technique going?"

Xu Qing suddenly spoke, closed his eyes to enjoy the moment, yet remained perfectly aware of his surroundings.

"Just last night, Wanwan successfully broke through to the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Demon Technique, thanks to His Majesty's help."

Wanwan was in a great mood, having broken through to the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Demon Technique in such a short time.

This made her even more convinced that His Majesty could help her quickly reach the highest level of the Heavenly Demon Technique.

"You truly deserve to be Zhu Yuyan's valued disciple; your comprehension and aptitude are both excellent."

Xu Qing slowly spoke, praising Wanwan as well.

Those with high aptitude and understanding can thoroughly comprehend the martial arts insights he imparts in a short period of time, thus greatly improving their martial arts level.

However, those who lack comprehension will need more opportunities.

Wanwan's comprehension and aptitude are also top-notch in this world.

After all, he was someone who successfully became a Grandmaster within the originally planned trajectory.

Their aptitude and comprehension are likely to be good.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. Wanwan's comprehension and talent are commendable in the Demonic Sect, but they are far inferior to Your Majesty's."

Wanwan was filled with emotion, considering how long she had only taught the Heavenly Demon Technique to him.

In just a few days, when she returned, the other party had a very profound understanding of the Heavenly Demon Technique.

Wanwan couldn't help but guess that His Majesty might have already fully comprehended the highest level of the Heavenly Demon Technique.

Such comprehension and talent were unheard of to her; they were truly terrifying.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Demon Great Art is the supreme martial art of her Yin Gui Sect, and the level of comprehension and aptitude required surpasses that of most martial arts in the world.

It was an absolutely top-tier divine skill, yet it was easily comprehended by the opponent.

It completely overturned her understanding.

"In terms of comprehension, no one in this world can compare with me."

Xu Qing said leisurely, "This is self-praise, but it is also the truth."

His own comprehension had already been greatly enhanced, and with the help of a supreme treasure, his comprehension was terrifying.

Wanwan nodded in deep agreement; she also agreed with this point.

I don't think Xu Qing is exaggerating.

The more she got to know Xu Qing, the more she felt that his abilities were unmatched in the world.

In her eyes, His Majesty was simply the most perfect man in the world.

This made her develop feelings for Xu Qing.

Outstanding, charming, and incredibly powerful men are extremely attractive to women.

Wanwan is also a woman, and naturally she couldn't resist Xu Qing's charm.

These days, she often dreams of Xu Qing at night. Afterwards, they exchange martial arts techniques.

That image still frequently appears in her mind, making her face flush and her body go weak.

"what happened to you?"

Xu Qing keenly noticed Wanwan's unusual behavior and couldn't help but wonder.

"It's nothing, Your Majesty. I was probably too excited about breaking through last night, so I didn't get enough rest."

Wanwan hurriedly came up with an excuse.

But this reason is clearly very lame.

However, Xu Qing didn't ask any more questions and continued to immerse himself in the deduction of martial arts.

Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly cursing herself.

My self-control is getting worse and worse; I'm even thinking about that kind of thing at a time like this.

She shook her head secretly, silently reciting the mantra to suppress the pounding in her heart.

The escorting army left the city quite naturally, like a long dragon heading north.

Spies from various factions sprang into action, and Fu Junzhuo also made her move, secretly following the army.

Like a well-trained hunter, she was not in such a hurry to strike again after her previous failures.

Instead, they followed silently, waiting for an opportunity.

They followed each other for dozens of miles, and the sky gradually darkened.

The army also set up camp and rested in one area.

Fu Junzhuo stood atop a towering tree, glancing at the dark sky, where there was no moon.

He then gave a cold laugh, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes:
"A dark and windy night is the perfect opportunity to kill that scoundrel emperor!"

However, she still didn't rush to take action.

It's only early night now; everything will be more appropriate when we're asleep.

Meanwhile, in an abandoned manor in the east of Yangzhou.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling returned from outside with smiles on their faces.

They've been practicing combat against some bandits these days.

They also took a lot of gold and silver, which made their lives less difficult.

"Hehe, that sheep is really fat today. I wonder how many innocent people it has harmed."

"But once he falls into my hands, everything he owns will belong to us."

Kou Zhong said excitedly, "It's obvious that we've had a great day."

Xu Ziling smiled and looked at the small stone house. Finding no light, he immediately realized something was wrong.

"Young Master Zhong, something's not right!"

He strode forward, and Kou Zhong, realizing what was happening, quickly followed.

The two stepped into the stone house together and found that Fu Junzhuo was nowhere to be seen, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Where's my godmother?!"

Xu Ziling lit the oil lamp and immediately noticed a letter left on the stone table.

"This is a letter left by my godmother!"

During this time, they also learned to read, since learning martial arts also requires understanding martial arts manuals.

Fu Junzhuo was also responsible for teaching the two to read.

Both of them were highly perceptive, had excellent memories, and learned quickly, mastering many characters.

"My godmother is gone!?"

"She just left without saying a word!"

Kou Zhong was somewhat angry, feeling a sense of being abandoned.

Seeing Kou Zhong throwing a tantrum, Xu Ziling quickly called out, "Stop complaining and hurry up and see what your godmother wrote."

There must have been a reason she left.

As he spoke, Xu Ziling opened the envelope.

Kou Zhong, his face full of slight displeasure, gave a soft hum, but still slowly moved closer.

"Oh no! Godmother is in danger!"

Xu Ziling quickly scanned the contents of the letter, his expression changing drastically.

Startled, Kou Zhong panicked and quickly snatched the envelope from Xu Ziling's hand:
"Show me quickly!"
