Chapter 118 Is this... practicing swordsmanship?

Shangguan Sui's brows were tightly knitted.

【After the epidemic broke out, the Mei County Magistrate was afraid of being held responsible, so he locked up all the people who had the epidemic in a closed place. However, the epidemic did not stop, but instead became more and more serious.】

[The entire Mei County is now like a dead city.]

[But the epidemic in Mei County has only just begun, and will soon spread to the entire Dayue Kingdom...]

【Must go quickly! 】

After hearing what was going on, Shangguan Lin couldn't help but clench his right fist.

In the early years of the previous emperor's reign, an epidemic also broke out in Dayue State.

Nearly a quarter of the population died. This time it won’t happen again…

Thinking of this, Shangguan Lin immediately got a terrible headache.

Shangguan Sui, who was standing by, pursed her lips tightly. She stretched out her little hand and tugged at Shangguan Lin's sleeve.

She thought about it and decided to speak out.

"Dad, I think something might have happened in Mei County. Why don't you send someone to check it out?"

[The epidemic is not serious yet and can still be controlled! ]

[The main reason is that the Mei County Magistrate did not do anything practical and just wanted to hide the matter. Otherwise, it would not be so serious! ]

Can it be controlled?!

Shangguan Lin immediately perked up upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, Sunsun, Daddy will send someone over right away."

And he will not let the Mei County Magistrate go either!

[Phew, that's good. As long as someone goes to see it, this matter will definitely not be hidden.]

[My father is wise and powerful, he will definitely be able to handle this matter! ]

Shangguan Lin was in a good mood when he heard the compliment, and he reached out and rubbed Shangguan Sui's little head.

I couldn't help but sigh: "What a waste of years."

Otherwise, this time, the Great Moon Kingdom will really be in trouble...

Epidemics are no joke. Once they are discovered too late, even the gods will find it difficult to save you.

Shangguan Sui blinked, a little confused.

[It's just a reminder, does my father care about that? ]

Shangguan Lin's mouth twitched.

Of course it’s because of your voice.

But this cannot be let Sui Sui know.

Otherwise, I wouldn't complain so carelessly in the future.

Shangguan Sui didn't worry too much, after all, he was in her heart.

Shangguan Lin always talks nonsense for no reason...

She's used to it.

Eunuch Chen walked in at this time.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Chen has sent someone to invite you and the little princess to have dinner."

Shangguan Sui immediately became excited.

[Yeah, I'm really starving! ]

Shangguan Lin couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Shangguan Sui was happy.

He picked up Shangguan Sui directly, his face full of smiles.

"Drive the Bihua Palace!"

After dinner, Shangguan Lin hurried back to Yu's study.

Shangguan Sui looked at Shangguan Lin's departing back and sighed.

[Alas, Daddy still has to deal with the epidemic in Mei County. I guess he will be busy until late at night.]

When the Concubine Chen heard what was going on, her brows furrowed slightly.

She turned to look at Qingping and ordered, "Go and stew a pot of bird's nest and send it to the emperor after it's done."

Shangguan Sui covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

[Hehe, Mommy still cares about Daddy. ]

The concubine couldn't help but blush at the tips of her ears.

Oh my, Suisui is such a smart kid...

I have been a mischievous child since I was a child.

Shangguan Sui joked with the Concubine Chen for a few more words, then walked into the courtyard with a wooden sword.

She didn't go to Concubine De's palace to practice sword today. Now that she has nothing to do, she might as well review it.

Shangguan Sui got into a good stance, turned his wrist slightly, and began to practice swordplay.

Yan Kongshan was lying on the top of the Bihua Palace at this time, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.

The night is dark and the stars are twinkling.

Yan Kongshan's long eyelashes drooped, and his expression looked a little sad.

Today, he personally killed his apprentice who had followed him for five years...

Lin Feng's judgment of him was indeed correct. He was indeed a person who cherished old times and relationships.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up everything just because of a few letters from his royal brother.

Once again entering this palace that he didn't like at all.

Yan Kongshan sighed softly.

Suddenly, his expression froze.

?! What's that sound?

Yan Kongshan's sharp ears could hear the faint sound of sword wind coming from below.

There are also the childish sounds of "Huhuhahei".

Yan Kongshan: ...What are you doing?

He sat up from the tile and looked down.

Sure enough, in the open space in the yard, I saw Shangguan Sui wearing a pink silk skirt, swinging a wooden sword in her hand, her posture was a bit clumsy and not deft.

Yan Kongshan had practiced martial arts for many years, but he still didn't understand it for a while.

Is this... sword practice?

Not sure, let's see...

After watching for a long time, Yan Kongshan couldn't help but chuckle.

It turns out that she really is practicing sword.

But as he laughed, an idea suddenly crossed his mind.

Why couldn't he accept Suisui as his apprentice and teach her all the Bisei sword techniques?

Suishun is not only related to him by blood.

And I treat him sincerely.

Yan Kongshan thought about this and felt more open-minded instantly.

He took light steps and stood on the ground in the blink of an eye.

Shangguan Sui was swinging the wooden sword vigorously.

Hearing the sound, he stopped immediately and turned around to meet Yan Kongshan's eyes.

Shangguan Sui's eyes lit up immediately, and he called out in a sweet and crisp voice, "Uncle Yan!"

Yan Kongshan immediately smiled at her and bowed slightly, "I have met the Fifth Princess."

"Princess, are you practicing swordplay?"

Shangguan Sui nodded, his big eyes blinking.

"Yes, I have been learning swordsmanship from Concubine De recently."

Yan Kongshan stood with his hands behind his back, showing the aura of a top master.

He asked gently, "Why does Princess want to learn martial arts?"

Shangguan Sui tilted his head and looked at him, "It's good to learn martial arts. It can strengthen your body, and..."

Having said this, Shangguan Sui suddenly paused.

The originally sweetly smiling face also became a little dim.

"Uncle Yan, you don't know that I was once attacked at the post station and was almost killed..."

"That was so thrilling. I can't help but feel a little scared when I think about it."

Yan Kongshan pondered for a moment after hearing this.

"I have also heard about this matter. Later, the emperor sent people to investigate further..."

Shangguan Sui immediately asked, "What did you find out?"

Yan Kongshan pursed his lips.

This matter has not yet been fully investigated and has far-reaching implications.

The fifth princess was only five years old, so he shouldn't tell her.

But he knew that the fifth princess was not an ordinary child.

It would be better to tell the Fifth Princess about this. Maybe she knows other clues.

Thinking of this, Yan Kongshan calmed down and slowly talked about the follow-up of the matter.

"That assassin is a skilled martial artist. He was able to sneak into the post station under the nose of Li Shen, the commander of the Yulin Army. His martial arts skills must be better than his."

Shangguan Sui hummed, looking up and listening very attentively.

Yan Kongshan continued, "Li Shen is the fourth best player in Dayue Country. There are only three people ahead of him."

"Besides me, there was Yang Fu and the abbot of Tanxi Temple. Later, the emperor continued to investigate and found that neither of them could have committed the assassination."

"We have ruled out the three of us, so the assassin is probably not from Dayue Country at all..."
