Chapter 77 Chapter Seventeen

Chapter 17, The Third Part of Seizing the Inheritance Many people have various opinions in these chapters, but frankly speaking, this is all written by me, and it is also my own thinking. How insidious and powerful, if you don't pave the way for the environment, how can you write about the bloody battle for succession, so everyone read it patiently, and it will soon enter the climax stage.But unfortunately, I still have overtime class for most of the week this week, so the writing progress is not ideal, so I decided to temporarily change to publishing five chapters a week from now on, and I will not post on weekends. After all, I have entered the working stage. During the peak period, but I believe that I did not make up for it. No matter what kind of article, it is impossible to stir people's hearts all the time. There must always be buffers and foreshadowing.

———————————————————————— But it turned out that the Dongshi incident happened last night, and all Chang'an City was under martial law. Although Ye Tianxiu escaped by chance, she was unable to move. In the end, she chose a private house at random, thinking that even if the owner of the house was restrained by force, only she could do it. Rest for one night, recuperate your injuries, and you should be able to escape with all your might tomorrow.But there is such a coincidence in the world, this house is Xia Jinyi's residence. As soon as Ye Tianxiu entered the yard, Xia Jinyi heard him clearly, but he knew that he was inconvenient to deal with, so he went to wake Chiji up, and when Chiji passed by, Ye Tianxiu was already unconscious, waiting for Chiji to bandage him Ye Tianxiu woke up after taking internal and external medicines for his injuries. He asked Chiji to go to Yongwang's mansion for help because he knew that he was so injured that it was absolutely impossible to give birth to Chang'an, and the only way to save his life was to With the help of Prince Yong's Mansion, His Royal Highness Prince Yong might save his life for King Qing's sake, because the crown prince and Fengyi Sect were in conflict.

If it were elsewhere, Chiji might be in trouble, but when this man mentioned Yongwang's mansion, Chiji's heart was half relieved. When he sent the news to Yongwang's mansion, Xiao Shunzi was taken aback when he heard it. Ye Tianxiu's fate was unexpected for the bodyguard being massacred in Beijing, but Ye Tianxiu appeared in Xia Jinyi's hiding place, so he couldn't make his own decisions on how to deal with it. I pondered for a while, King Qing and Fengyimen are enemies, so they are allies on my side, and multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, Ye Tianxiu naturally wants to save, but Xia Jinyi can't live there, the current situation , if Xia Jinyi reveals his whereabouts, it is not a good thing. After Ye Tianxiu leaves, someone may come to investigate this place, so Xia Jinyi must be let go, but where should he go? From today onwards, Chang'an must be full of rumors, I am afraid it will be difficult to hide .After thinking about it, I said, "You go there yourself and let Xia Jinyi think of a way to change his appearance and leave Chang'an for a while. There is nothing I can do about the current situation. He should be able to understand."

Xiao Shunzi said indifferently: "My lord, keeping this person is always a disaster, why not kill him to silence him?" I shook my head and said: "No, I have never done anything wrong. This person has helped me a lot, regardless of his life. If I do this, it will make people feel cold. You should try to persuade him. Anyway, he is useless in Chang'an. Better to leave." Xiao Shunzi nodded and said, "Then I'll go there in person, I don't think Chiji will let Ye Tianxiu see anything she shouldn't see." Li Shun took the carriage of Prince Yong's Mansion and drove towards the hiding place. Chang'an is indeed in a state of depression today, the streets are full of imperial troops, but the signboard of Prince Yong's Mansion is sufficient, no one dares to stop it.In the car, Li Shun thought to himself, if Xia Jinyi refused to agree, he would try to blame the young master and kill him to silence him.

Not long after, the car arrived at the house located in a remote alley. Li Shun ordered the accompanying servants to wait outside. He went in alone and entered the yard. Arriving at a somewhat familiar but unfamiliar young man, that young man is handsome, fair and transparent, and more unique is his indifferent temperament. Although he is standing there, admiring the lotus pond in the courtyard, in his eyes, Li Shun couldn't see any joy, nor any sadness, as if he just had no emotions.But where does that sense of familiarity come from?He looked at the young man carefully, and finally a flash of astonishment and suddenness flashed across him. This person turned out to be that Xia Jinyi. What's going on? Why didn't Chi Ji tell himself that Xia Jinyi had undergone such a change.Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at Chi Ji who came out from the next room to greet him.

However, Chiji was a little baffled. Although Xia Jinyi had changed a lot in the past few days, Chiji couldn't feel it when he got close to him every day. Regarding the change in Xia Jinyi's temperament, Chiji only thought it was caused by his sadness, so he didn't report it. Let Xiao Shunzi know.Although he felt strange, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, he stepped forward and said, "This Lord Ye, you are the official of Prince Yong's Mansion, Mr. Ye is already waiting for you in the room." Li Shun said lightly: "Go down first, Mr. Xia and I have something to talk about."

Chiji looked a little uneasy, and retreated silently, but Xia Jinyi walked over affectionately as if he had just seen Xiao Shunzi, and said with a smile: "So you came in person, how are you doing recently?" Xiao Shunzi looked at Xia Jinyi silently, he could feel that this person was really happy to see him, but it was weird, he could also deeply sigh that this person didn't have any mood swings at all.Suddenly, he slapped Xia Jinyi with his palm. Xia Jinyi seemed a little panicked, but he quickly raised his palms to greet him. The palms intersected. Xiao Shunzi only felt that Xia Jinyi's true energy was both feminine and masculine, which was very strange. After the sound, Xiao Shunzi remained motionless, but Xia Jinyi took two steps back, a blush flashed across his fair and handsome face.

Xiao Shunzi didn't continue to attack, but Xia Jinyi didn't show any signs of panic either. He stood with his hands in awe, but smiled slightly. Xiao Shunzi said calmly, "What happened to you?" Xia Jinyi's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just feel like a different person, and I don't care about the things I used to do." Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "Master ordered me to tell you that Chang'an City is very dangerous now. If you wish, you can take shelter outside temporarily. If you wish, I can act as master on your behalf and let you go freely."

A murderous intent flashed in Xia Jinyi's eyes, and he said, "No, Xia will never leave if he doesn't see Li Hanyou being punished." Xiao Shunzi frowned, and said: "The matter of Fengyimen cannot be resolved in a day or two, it is inconvenient for you to stay in the capital." Xia Jinyi was silent, and said after a while: "Don't you also think that I have changed a lot, will they still recognize me now?" Xiao Shunzi thought for a while, and said, "It may not appear at first glance, but you have been in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, and many people may recognize you."

Xia Jinyi looked respectful and authentic: "Master Li, please convey Xia's heart to Your Excellency. Xia is willing to work for Your Excellency. It is not difficult to change his appearance. I believe Xia will not be recognized casually." Xiao Shunzi's heart moved. Xia Jinyi didn't know what happened. His martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. This person is smart and smart. It would be good if he stayed with the young master. Although the disguise technique cannot completely change a person's characteristics, Xia Jinyi's temperament has changed. A big change, as long as you live in seclusion, you should be able to hide it from the eyes of others.And if he starts messing around and refuses to leave, even if he kills him, it's not a matter of one trick or two tricks. If Ye Tianxiu hears something, it will be a future trouble. Why don't you bring him back to Prince Yong's mansion, if the young master says you can keep him , just leave him in Hanyuan, if the young master says no, he will kill him himself.Thinking of this, he felt relieved and said, "You and I will go back to Prince Yong's Mansion to see you, Young Master."

It's not that Xia Jinyi doesn't understand the murderous intent hidden in Xiao Shunzi's heart, but he also believes that he can fulfill his long-cherished wish, so he respectfully said: "Caomin respectfully obey the order of the official." Xiao Shunzi smiled helplessly, and walked to the wing where Ye Tianxiu was convalescing. On the sick bed, Ye Tianxiu looked pale, and most of his body was wrapped in white cloth. Seeing Xiao Shunzi, he sat up reluctantly, and said with a wry smile: "So it is Brother Li came, Tianxiu is very grateful." Xiao Shunzi said solemnly: "His Royal Highness and my young master were very worried when they heard that Brother Ye was attacked last night. Unexpectedly, Brother Ye turned evil into good fortune and survived the catastrophe. There must be good luck in the future, but I don't know if Brother Ye knows who shot last night. Is it?" Ye Tianxiu smiled wryly: "Here comes a masked man, with a strong swordsmanship. Ye is ashamed of himself, but he doesn't know the identity of that man." Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed, and he asked again: "Do you know if that person is a man or a woman, and what kind of sword technique is he using?" Ye Tianxiu has already recalled the situation of that day thousands of times, at this moment he said without hesitation: "That man is a man, although he has a handsome face, but Ye has fought hard with him for a long time, that man is definitely not a woman, otherwise I don't have to guess Who did it, his swordsmanship is also outstanding, exquisite and profound, a bit like Yuenu's swordsmanship." Li Shun raised his eyebrows, and said, "Are you suspicious of Xiahou Yuanfeng? Isn't he practicing Yuenu swordsmanship?" Ye Tianxiu shook his head and said: "I also thought it might be him, but I have seen Lord Xiahou's swordsmanship before, and I don't think this masked man is as fierce and fierce, and Yue Nv's swordsmanship is broad and profound, but it is not a single tradition. There are many sects, and with this fact, it is really impossible to confirm whether it is Master Xiahou." Li Shun didn't think about it too much, there is always time for this matter, so why rush for a while, he said with a smile: "Guard Ye, it's better to go to the palace first, and your injuries need to be treated again, and these things will be discussed later Go." Ye Tianxiu nodded happily. Although the situation in Chang'an gradually calmed down on this day, there were dark waves in private. Early in the morning, Li Hanyou went to the palace to meet Concubine Ji.The two sat opposite each other at Concubine Ji's residence and sipped tea.Li Hanyou's obvious mind is not in line, but Ji Guifei's expression is indifferent.The two chatted for a long time, Li Hanyou finally couldn't help it, and asked: "Uncle, it's understandable that the teacher came to take over the power this time, but Chang'an was in such a mess last night, Hanyou didn't know anything, you Say, is Master dissatisfied with Han You?" Concubine Ji smiled lightly and said: "You are overthinking, you have done very well these years, if the head of the sect thinks you are wrong, he will never let you go lightly, but these things are not suitable for you to do, although you are You were born as an inner disciple, but now that you are married to Qin Qing, you are nominally an outer disciple. These things are not suitable for you to do. For Fengyimen, maintaining your glorious status today is far more important than you doing those things. Things are more important." Li Hanyou sighed: "That day, the head of the sect arranged for me to marry Qin Qing. To be honest, I didn't want to, uncle, I really want to be the successor of the master, but..." She didn't say any more, but Concubine Ji was very clear about what she meant. The authority of the master of Fengyi sect cannot be resisted, moreover, riches and honors are coming, how many people can ruthlessly refuse.Gently shaking the round fan in her hand, Concubine Ji said gracefully: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although you can't be the next sect master, the sect master's meaning is very clear. The future Fengyi sect will not be the master of the sect alone. Ziyan She has the highest cultivation level and is loyal to her senior sister. Most of the force cultivated by the Fengyi Sect over the years is under her control. However, the reputation of brutality is too strong, so there is no hope of inheriting the position of sect master. Your second senior sister Xiao Lan You and Fifth Senior Sister Qin Zheng are both married and have lost their inheritance qualifications. Although Third Senior Sister Feng Feifei has some reputation in the Jianghu, she can't control the heroes and can only be in an auxiliary position. Your Fourth Senior Sister Liang Wan is now You are insane, and your seventh senior sister has a rash temper, and you can't take on big responsibilities. Only your sixth senior sister Ling Yu and eighth senior sister Yan Wushuang are both beautiful and beautiful, and the other is beautiful. You don't have to worry, according to the current situation, Ziyan, the position of supervisor, can't escape. We disciples in the imperial court are naturally in the same school, and Feifei, Yu'er, Xiaotong, and Wushuang are also in the same school, don't even think about it Arbitrary, as long as you are capable enough to let Lan'er and Zheng'er obey you, are you afraid that you will not be able to fight against them?" The more Li Hanyou listened, the happier he became, and he said, "Thank you for your advice, uncle, and I hope uncle will give you some pointers." Concubine Ji smiled and said: "You are a smart person, why are you so confused, as long as you don't show dissatisfaction, Senior Sister will not give up on you, this matter is not arranged by us, we can naturally speak confidently." Li Hanyou said with some concern: "But the disciple heard that the senior sister planned to assassinate Zheng Xia, what should we do if it spreads?" Concubine Ji sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't say you didn't do it. You don't have to be afraid even if you do it yourself. Why did the sect master agree to Yuezong's people to kill King Qing's people this time? Isn't it just to cover up our assassination of Zheng Zheng?" What about Xia's actions? If King Qing's people are dead, I'm afraid everyone will suspect us, but it doesn't matter if they doubt. Who doesn't know the grievances between us and King Qing. They wouldn't blame us, let alone without evidence, who would have thought that Zheng Xia was the one we were going to kill?" Li Hanyou sighed: "The sect master is really hard to guess, and now the disciple doesn't understand why he killed Zheng Xia." Concubine Ji sighed: "Oh, senior sister has no other choice, Zheng Xia is a strict person, this time the emperor came back because he wanted to let the prince go, this Zheng Xia will definitely criticize the prince's immorality like the last time he was summoned, but the emperor treats him again I respect him very much. If he is asked to remonstrate with the emperor a few more times, I am afraid that the position of the crown prince will not be preserved. For our purpose, we have to sacrifice Mr. Zheng. It is a pity that he did not succeed, but he is not going to be shaken this time. The status of the prince." Li Hanyou said with a smile: "Only Yuezong is the stupidest and we use it as a shield." "It doesn't matter who is stupid." Lu Jingzhong said slowly, shaking his folding fan with a smile.Xia Houlan, Minister of Rites who was sitting opposite, said: "Junior brother, don't underestimate the enemy too much. The master of Fengyi Sect is very powerful. It's not like you don't know that many people from our Sun and Moon sect died in her hands back then." Lu Jingzhong said solemnly: "Brother, I know that this woman is powerful, but she can't eradicate us now. Although His Royal Highness is not shrewd, he still knows how to beware of Fengyimen, and he and Fengyi The rift in the sect is already deep, and I am confident that I can stand up to the head of the Fengyi sect." Xia Houlan sighed slightly: "Junior Brother, since our Yuezong formed an alliance 20 years ago, our talent has withered, and we can't stand the loss." Lu Jingzhong said coldly: "Brother is the elder of Yuezong, so he naturally cherishes feathers, but I, Lu Jingzhong, was taught by my mentor thirty years ago. Although I don't know what my mentor is in Yuezong now, but now Everything I have is obtained with my own hands, and I will never allow it to be taken away by others.” Xia Houlan smiled wryly and said: "I'm not very clear about this matter, but I heard from my teacher that our Yuezong has been passed down for seventeen generations, and the ancient books have been lost many times in the middle, but there are always cigarettes. The teacher once said , the Demon Sect must have another branch that is responsible for inheritance, and even the first teacher suspected that those people were disciples of the Star Sect who only heard of their names, but we didn’t even understand the details. There are some things that he was deeply puzzled by, but there is one thing that the teacher said very clearly. The disciples of the Moon Sect in the past have mostly conspired and failed to end well. So I tried my best to prevent Yuan Feng from getting involved in the affairs of the Demon Sect, but But you always refuse to let him go, and this time you let him kill King Qing's guards, do you really have to fight me to the end?" After talking, Xia Houlan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Lu Jingzhong said calmly: "Senior brother, you can hide yourself from the court, but your nephew is young, so talented, how can you bear to let him do nothing? Besides, since ancient times, if you are a wise and brave man, you rarely live in comfort My generation, since I have such talent, I should have my place in this world. If it weren't for ambition and arrogance, how could the Yuezong continue to pass on? Knowing that after each alliance, they would kill each other within 20 to 30 years. But one or two can gain wealth and power, but has anyone ever given up on it? Who doesn't want to assist the Ming Lord to rule the world, and can become the suzerain of the Moon Sect. Let's look at the true version of the 'Yin Talisman Classic', but it's a pity that in the past thousand years, only the thirteenth generation has a patriarch who has been promoted to suzerain." Xia Houlan said fascinatedly: "And the suzerain returned half a year after mysteriously disappearing, and passed away with a satisfied smile, but it is a pity that he refused to say what he saw after all." Frenzy flashed in Lu Jingzhong's eyes, and he said: "If I can't see the Yin Talisman Sutra in my life, I would rather die." Xia Houlan said lightly: "That's right, I used to think the same way. The patriarch was as wise as the sea back then, and he only passed down what he learned from the seventh floor, and he has today's Yuezong. I wish I was willing to pay all the price. Look at the posthumous works of the patriarch. It's a pity that now I'm disheartened, and I just want to live my life in peace, so you better stop making Yuanfeng's idea." A trace of sarcasm flashed in Lu Jingzhong's eyes, and he said: "Brother, do you really think it's my idea alone? My nephew is very smart, and you have taught him what you have learned. He is also a young man with a high spirit, how can he bow his head to others? , senior brother, if you didn’t teach him to read and learn swordsmanship back then, it’s fine, it’s already too late today.” Xia Houlan's expression changed, and he said after a long time: "That's right, you're right, it's indeed too late."
