Chapter 218 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue

"Protect the Prime Minister!"

The sound outside was getting closer and closer. Yun Heyan realized that he could not delay any longer. His hands moved faster and faster. He stopped talking to Cai Jing and stabbed him directly in the heart.

Fearing that Cai Jing's heart was on the right, he added another sword to the side.

Xue Chen: [Done.]

System: [Is that it? What have you been delaying before?]

Xue Chen: [This is just the beginning.]

The door was knocked open from the outside, and the guards swarmed in, holding torches.

The bedroom is a place to nourish qi. People who are particular about it will not build it too large. If too many people come in at once, they can't use it at all. Even if Yun Heyan can kill, the corpse alone can crush him to death.

The sword energy was swung, forcing the people in front of him to retreat. Yun Heyan grabbed Cai Jing's collar, threw him into the crowd, and took the opportunity to escape.

Before he walked far, a strong light suddenly burst out from the direction of the other side of the street.

Yun Heyan lost his sight instantly, and subconsciously closed his eyes and raised his arms to block it.

System: [Ahhhh! Why can't I see suddenly? What the hell is this thing?]

Xue Chen: [The sun.]

The system trembled: [How can there be the sun in the middle of the night!]

Xue Chen: [Don't talk.]

The system thought there might be a ghost, and felt very helpless, so it obediently shut its mouth.

Yun Heyan could feel the light outside even with his eyes closed. He did not stop, stepped on the fence to gain momentum, and flew over the high wall.

With his back to the strong light, he tentatively opened his eyes a little. His vision had recovered a lot, and he opened his eyes only after he was sure that he would not be burned again.

"You run fast." A cold snort came from behind, and then a fierce light came on again.

System: [Wow, he's catching up. 】

Yun Heyan repelled the person behind him, shook the sword in his hand, and still had his back to him, "The Yandang Sect's Qinggong is good, but it's a pity that it's still a little lacking."

"Since you recognize me, you shouldn't fight, don't resist anymore, just accept your death obediently, and you can suffer less."

Yun Heyan sneered: "After saying so much, why don't you take action? Is it because you can't beat me?"

The man behind him fell silent.

Yun Heyan: "The seventh in the world is just like this, I think it's time to change your title."

Knowing that it's not a ghost, the system feels much more at ease. It has a lot of resentment towards Wen Xue'an, and said excitedly, [That's right! The number of your vests alone is quite a lot! Adding the characters in other world views, Wen Xue'an is estimated to be downgraded by a dozen or twenty places! 】

His "Thousand Suns in Hands" looks particularly weird at first glance, but as long as the reaction is timely, it is not difficult for a first-class martial artist to escape from it.

"Mountain Character Scripture", "Sad Little Arrow" and "Forbearance Divine Art" were learned from Yuan Shisanxian, but not in full. Even if he secretly learned them later, he could only learn a part of them, not as good as Fang Yingkan in the later period.

In addition to hidden weapons and sword techniques of various schools, the only things he can show off are "Qi Shi Sword", "Hateful Palm" and "Hateful Fist", as well as his own "Sorrowful Fist".

Yuan Shisanxian can achieve what he has today by relying on "Mountain Character Scripture", "Sad Little Arrow" and "Forbearance Divine Art". Wen Xuean's martial arts talent is not as good as his master, and it would be even more difficult to rely on boxing and palm techniques alone.

His own ranking of "the seventh in the world" did not include Su Mengzhen, Fang Yingkan and the Four Famous Detectives, let alone Wu Ming, Yu Luocha, East Evil, West Poison, South Emperor, North Beggar and Middle Naughty Boy.

Xue Chen: [It's all my fault for being too low-key. My brilliance is overshadowed by these mediocre people.]

System: [……]

Xue Chen: [No more chatting, let's do business first, and we'll talk about the ranking later.]

System: [……] Do you want to rank yourself too?

Wen Xue'an has already made two moves, both times with all his strength. He knows very well that he can't kill the man in front of him. He stood behind Yun Heyan and quietly made a gesture to the guards who came over, indicating that they should go around to the front to stop Yun Heyan.

Wen Xuean said, "You look down on me so much that you don't want to fight openly?"

Yun Heyan: "I'm afraid you'll pollute my eyes."

Wen Xuean asked curiously, "I've never met you, why are you humiliating me?"

Yun Heyan: "Let's not talk about your family's evil deeds and disregard for human life. Just this time, not only did you sneak attack, but you also brought so many people to intercept us. Do you really want me to respect you?"

Xue Chen: [His words are really disgusting.]

System: [Which one?]

Xue Chen: [I forgot the original sentence, but the general meaning is that if he was the one who raped Lei Chun that night, he would have raped Wen Rou first.]

System: [What a rotten person.]

Yun Heyan can see things normally in the dark, and the figures in the jungle could not hide from him.

He ignored the rubbish, adjusted his sword grip, closed his eyes, and said sadly: [Rather than being brutally killed by Fang Yingkan, I'd rather kill him now, so I can commit fewer murders and suffer less in hell.]

System: [You've read too many Buddhist scriptures, right?]

Yun Heyan suddenly turned around, tiptoed, flew forward, and stabbed with a sword.

Wen Xue'an was organizing his words, thinking about how to delay time, but he didn't expect Yun Heyan to suddenly take action while talking, and his lightness skills were extremely superb, far beyond the lightness skills of the Yandang School.

He looked down at the sword that pierced his body, raised his sleeves, and with a flash of silver light, the "Nine Heavens, Ten Earths, Nineteen Divine Needles" hidden inside flew out and shot straight at Yun Heyan's forehead.

Wen Xue'an spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered.

"Ding!" The subtle sound was obscured by the noise.

Wen Xue'an covered the wound on his abdomen and wondered with some doubts, when was the sword pulled out?

How come this man was not hit by a hidden weapon?

What was that light just now?

Perhaps because of the dim light and excessive blood loss, Wen Xue'an did not see clearly how he attacked. He just felt a pain in his heart and his vision was uncertain.

How... could there be such a fast sword...

Wen Xue'an squinted his eyes unwillingly and gradually lost his strength.

Yun Heyan shook off the blood on the sword, caught Wen Xuean, threw him into the crowd, and left the mansion calmly while everyone was in a panic.

-At

dawn, Xue Chen sat up and called Xiao He to come in.

Xiao He picked up his clothes and saw that he closed his eyes sleepily, and asked in confusion: "Why do you suddenly want to go to court?"

Xue Chen explained, "I have been recuperating in the mansion for dozens of days. Although I am also dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of War on weekdays, I have never interacted with my colleagues after all. It's time to move around."

"Does the prince know?"

Xue Chen opened his eyes: "He hasn't been told yet, you go and tell him."

Xiao He put on the flower rhinoceros belt for him, bowed, and walked out of the house.

Xue Chen has always disliked being served by too many people, and Xiao He was the only one who was close to him. After Xiao He left, he skillfully tied his hair and put on a crown, brewed a pot of strong tea, and sat beside him to wake himself up.

System: [The news of Cai Jing's assassination should have spread, right?]

Xue Chen: [Xiao Liu, Xiaomian, and Xiaofen didn't hear anything, so it was probably suppressed for the time being. There are too many witnesses to such a big event, and it can't be kept secret for long. There will definitely be excitement after dawn.]

He got up so early on purpose just to see the excitement.

"Brother, I'm coming in."

Gong Jiu said something outside before pushing the door open, as if he was afraid of scaring Xue Chen. Xiao He followed behind him, and when she saw that Xue Chen had combed his hair, she stepped back on her own accord.

"Would you like some tea?" Xue Chen handed over the teacup.

Gong Jiu took over: "Why didn't I hear big brother mention going to court yesterday? Did something happen outside?"

He has been living a quiet life these days, getting along with his subordinates without avoiding Xue Chen, and interacting with the outside world frequently, but he has not heard of any major events happening in the court.

The two of them live next to each other, and he can't hide what's going on with Xue Chen.

Gong Jiu knows that Xue Chen seems to be indifferent and non-competitive, but in fact he has great ambitions and can see the big picture from the small details. If something happens, big brother will definitely be the first to know.

But no one has come these days. Could it be that someone brought a message in the middle of the night yesterday?

Xue Chen shook his head: "Do you want to go with me?"

Gong Jiu seldom went to the morning court. He had close contacts with the court officials, but he always avoided the emperor. He tried his best to put himself in the position of a vassal of King Taiping and reduce his presence, for fear that what he did secretly would be exposed.

But now it is not necessary.

Gong Jiu: "Since my elder brother is going, I naturally have no reason to refuse."

Xiao He came in with a food box and set the table silently.

Gong Jiu sat opposite: "Did Dad know?"

Xue Chen: "I haven't had time to tell Dad yet. He probably won't wait for us. He has to prepare a car to go alone."

Gong Jiu nodded and served food to his brother unconsciously. Although his expression did not change, Xue Chen's eyes could not hide his joy.

The two brothers were very happy and left the palace together in a carriage.

When passing by Cai Jing's residence, Xue Chen lifted the curtain and took a look outside. The door of the prime minister's residence was closed, the lanterns outside were not on, and there was no one. It looked very quiet. Xue

Chen knew that there was no telling what was going on inside.

He lowered the curtains and closed his eyes to rest.

Gong Jiu: "Brother, are you in a good mood? Could it be that something really happened outside? Is it related to Cai Jing?"

Xue Chen: "Whether it is good or bad, it is not clear yet. We will know after the dust settles."

The dust settles?

Gong Jiu had a hunch that something big had happened.

Xue Chen had kept his eyes closed, and his emotions were indifferent. If Gong Jiu had not been his twin brother, he might not have noticed those hidden changes.

Gong Jiu stared at his brother for a while, but still had no idea, and could not help asking: "Brother, don't you have anything to tell me?"

Xue Chen did not move. Gong Jiu was very patient, keeping this action, waiting for his answer.

The system couldn't stand such silence, [Are you there? ]

[Don't talk, I'm thinking. ]

The system didn't dare to speak.

As soon as Xue Chen opened his eyes, he met his brother's stubborn eyes, and closed his eyes guiltily.

Gong Jiu: "Brother, you are hiding something from me."

Xue Chen looked at the car window. Through the curtain, he could vaguely see the sky. He sighed softly: "Cai Jing is dead."

System: [So what were you thinking about just now? 】

Gong Jiu was startled: "Yeah."

"You should be able to guess that this matter has something to do with me." Xue Chen's voice was very light, [I had planned it long ago, why do I feel guilty when facing him? 】

System: [This is a good thing, it shows that you still have some conscience. 】

Gong Jiu's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Who dares to pursue it? I'll kill him."

"Lian'er." Xue Chen covered his hand and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I did it carefully and left no evidence. I just think that on such a big day, there must be someone to witness it together, so I called you to come together."

Gong Jiu was very glad that he listened to his brother's words and turned back, otherwise how could he have a chance to be here today?
