Chapter 70 Temptation
Qi Linxian became even more annoyed as he spoke:
"And that instant travel formation? I spent more than half a year learning it, but the first time I used it, I was restrained by Zeng Shilin..."
“Hmm…”
He opened his eyes wide, and suddenly found that he couldn't open his mouth, and could only make "hmm" sounds through his throat! !
Without his noisy voice.
Tianshi Xu slowly closed his eyes and said in a long, deep voice, "Zeng Anmin... Questioning Heaven Formation..."
There was silence in the main hall.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked towards Sai Chuxue:
"Master, I still need to bother you with one thing."
Sai Chuxue was somewhat dissatisfied and muttered, "Going south to catch the traitors didn't give me any benefits..."
"Go to the palace and tell Emperor Jianhong that Qi Xianlin has colluded with Prince Jiang to rebel. This traitor should be eliminated by my Xuanzhen Division."
…………
The capital, the imperial palace, the imperial study.
Emperor Jianhong sat calmly in the imperial study, looking at the memorial in his hand that was delivered at full speed from Liangjiang County.
The memorial is divided into two parts.
The first memorial covered everything from the investigation into the missing Dragon Map to the execution of Prince Jiang and the Liangjiang County Governor Qi Xiande's attack on the Xuanjing Division...
At least nearly two thousand words were written in a very fluent manner.
The first five hundred words are greetings from Zeng Shilin, the governor of Fengqi Road, to Emperor Jianhong.
The next 1,500 words cover the case of the missing Dragon Map, the case of Zhang Lun, a student at the Water Inspectorate College, the assassination of Zeng Anmin, the Left Clerk of the Xuanjing Division, by the Black Cat Warrior, the subsequent investigation of Prince Jiang's rebellion through clues and the acquisition of evidence, and finally the invasion of the demon tribe into the Xuanjing Division...
Among them, Zeng Anmin used these clues to connect all the evidence together and uncovered the rebellion of Prince Jiang.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zeng Anmin made the greatest contribution, followed by Zeng Shilin.
Afterwards, two warriors, Wang Deli, the commander of Liangjiang County, and Lin Rong, the lieutenant general of Liangjiang County, were killed in battle.
"Prince Jiang is rebelling."
In the empty imperial study, the meaning of Emperor Jianhong's voice was unclear.
After a long while, he slowly raised his head, his voice seemed to be asking the air:
"Is it Prince Jiang who wants to rebel, or is it Zeng Shilin who wants to monopolize power and leave no room for maneuver?"
No one could answer him.
The entire imperial study was still deathly silent.
After a long time, Emperor Jianhong narrowed his eyes.
"Since you want to take all the power..."
He slowly stood up, picked up the wolf's whisker on the table, and prepared to write comments on the memorial.
Soon, Emperor Jianhong had written nearly a hundred words.
The previous part is about rewards based on merit.
But he did not mention a single word about "Prince Jiang's rebellion".
The last sentence was written by him in a flourish:
Zeng Anmin was promoted to the position of Censor of Jingzhao Prefecture for his meritorious service in solving the case, and was ordered to return to the capital within ten days.
After finishing writing, Emperor Jianhong slowly put down his pen, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, footsteps were heard.
"Your Majesty, Xuanzhen Si Sai Chuxue requests to see you."
Jianhong frowned slightly, then nodded calmly: "Yeah."
…
Sai Chuxue walked into the imperial study carelessly and looked around curiously.
It was her first time here and she was extremely curious about everything here.
Finally, under the guidance of the eunuch, she saw Emperor Jianhong.
"My master asked me to come."
After seeing Emperor Jianhong, she stated her purpose.
There was no greeting, no respect at all.
But Jianhong was unusually not displeased at all. Instead, he smiled amiably and asked:
"I wonder what Master Xu wants?"
Sai Chuxue saw Jianhong's kind face and blinked curiously.
This old man doesn't seem as scary as the rumors say.
"My master told me to tell you that Qi Linxian, a discarded disciple of my Xuanzhen Division, has colluded with Prince Jiang to plot a rebellion. He has been captured by us, and our Xuanzhen Division will take care of him."
Sai Chuxue spoke as if it was a matter of course.
He didn't notice at all that Emperor Jianhong suddenly clenched his fist.
"Why don't you speak?"
Sai Chuxue looked at Emperor Jianhong curiously.
Emperor Jianhong took a deep breath and forced a smile:
"I understand."
"Oh, then I'll go first." Sai Chuxue was about to walk out when she suddenly stopped. She looked at Jianhong with her bright eyes and a pure smile on her face:
"You're actually pretty good."
After saying that, she stuck out her tongue at Jianhong and left the imperial study.
…
Jianhong was stunned at first, then looked at Sai Chuxue's back as she left.
After a long time, Jianhong raised his eyelids and stretched out his slightly blackened hands.
He took the review he had just written on the table, crumpled it into a ball, and then threw it into the burning brazier beside him.
“Hi~”
It was as if it had never appeared and turned into a wisp of black smoke.
…………
Liangjiang County Governor's Office.
"How about it?"
Zeng Anmin put away the slightly hot jade stick in his hand.
He raised his eyebrows as he looked at Bai Ziqing who was sitting on the chair with his back to him.
In front of Bai Ziqing stood a mirror as tall as a person.
In the mirror, his long flowing hair was now curled into small curls like waves.
Even the hair color turned yellow.
"this……"
Bai Ziqing opened his eyes wide, looked at himself in the mirror, hesitated for a while, then looked up and asked:
"Is that right?"
Zeng Anmin was extremely satisfied. He nodded affirmatively and said, "It's correct!"
On the table next to the two of them was a green, thick liquid that looked like glutinous rice.
The thick liquid is Zeng Anmin’s homemade pure natural hair dye.
It is made by mixing osmanthus leaves, aloe vera juice, and thick rice porridge.
"Look, the white hair dye you made is not only unstable, but it also peels off..."
Zeng Anmin patiently explained to him:
"But my all-natural hair spray not only lasts a long time, but it also doesn't flake off after I blow dry it and get all over my body."
As he spoke, Zeng Anmin touched his yellow hair with his hand and showed it to him.
"really!"
When Bai Ziqing saw Zeng Anmin's smooth hands, his eyes lit up and he murmured:
"This way I won't have to constantly use my martial arts energy to isolate my hair and clothes..."
"And believe me, if you walk down the street like this, you'll definitely be the most eye-catching person on the street. Everyone else will be eclipsed by you!"
Zeng Anmin patted his chest with confidence:
"Especially this unique perming technique. Not only in the Great Saint Dynasty, but in the entire Nine Provinces, there is no other one like it!"
"Just tell me if it looks good or not!"
Zeng Anmin lifted a strand of Bai Ziqing's curly hair that looked like a waterfall and raised his eyebrows at himself in the mirror.
"nice!"
The more Bai Ziqing looked at it, the happier he felt.
"Just think about it. Every time you're on a mission and your men are unable to defeat the bandits, you descend upon the battlefield like a god, with your flowing, exotic yellow hair... those curls instantly capture everyone's attention!"
"At this moment, you calmly uttered, 'I have fought across three thousand miles, and with one sword I have chilled the nineteen states. Now that you have seen me, you must surrender!"
"That scene... Don't worry, everyone will be fascinated by you!!"
Zeng Anmin's voice sounded like the whisper of a devil.
Bai Ziqing's face flushed red, his eyes filled with eagerness and anticipation, his words were somewhat incoherent:
"Good...good...good!! Wonderful, wonderful..."
"Ahem." Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:
"My father told me that you are good at archery and concealed weapons?"
Um?
Bai Ziqing looked up in confusion, not knowing what Zeng Anmin meant by this.
