Volume 1 Chapter 135 Let Me Go
The man quickly put away his gun, but it was too late. He then spun the spear rapidly, and the three Yaoyang swords that were cut on it were actually bounced away!
The three Anbu members tried to attack again after their first attack failed, but the big man with the gun was no ordinary man. His Kung Fu was very powerful, and for a while he actually fought with the three men. They were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who would win.
Three members of the Anbu broke into Dongfang Zan's bedroom through the window, scaring Dongfang Zan's concubine and two bed-warming maids into screaming.
But he just shouted once before his neck was slashed by the Yaoyang Knife and he died tragically on the big bed.
Dongfang Zan himself was instantly awakened, and just as he was about to get up, someone grabbed his long hair on the back of his head and pulled it down tightly, preventing him from getting up.
Dongfang Zan was so scared that he wanted to call for help, but he covered his face with a pillow, making it difficult for him to breathe. Then he stabbed a knife into his throat. After struggling for a few times, his body collapsed.
After accomplishing their mission, the three Anbu members immediately evacuated the scene. When they jumped out of the window again, Tang Shui in the distance clapped his hands, and the three Anbu members who were still fighting with the big man immediately withdrew and no longer entangled with him.
The next moment, Tang Shui himself rushed over quickly with the Yaoyang Knife in his hand. His speed was so fast that the man with the gun couldn't react at all!
When he saw Tang Shui's figure clearly, the Yaoyang Knife had already pierced straight into his chest!
Then Tang Shui immediately pulled out the Yaoyang Sword and quickly circled around the big man. In less than three seconds, Tang Shui had slashed the big man more than thirty times!
Each knife cut off a piece of flesh and blood. Under the knife, one could see the big man's white bones and a bloody mess.
And the last knife is the neck!
The head rolled directly to the ground.
Until his death, this man still maintained the posture of holding a gun, ready for battle!
Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, all postures are useless.
After doing all this, Tang Shui acted as if nothing had happened. He made a gesture of retreat without any hesitation. Suddenly, all the members of the Anbu disappeared into the darkness!
This is what Xiang Yun has been doing in the past six days!
Destroy the family!
The trouble caused by the aristocratic family must be eliminated. Keeping it will always be a disaster. In the huge Da Ri Dynasty, there is only need for one aristocratic family, and that is the royal family!
If your family is more powerful than the royal family, then what's the point of keeping you?
Not only the Dongfang family's clan land, but also the Dongfang family members scattered around the world were hunted down by the Anbu at the same time!
After Tang Shui and the main members of the Anbu eliminated the Dongfang family, they immediately rushed to the Sima family in the south at full speed!
Xiang Yun wanted to kill all the three major family forces behind all the rebel kings.
First mobilize the Anbu. If the Anbu action fails, then use military force to fight openly!
This cancer, just like the three corrupt ministers in the court before, must be eliminated!
Beijing Imperial Palace
After Xiang Yun finished handling government affairs in the imperial study, he called Yuan Ping over.
Yuan Ping at this moment was much fatter than when he served Xiang Yun personally a few months ago. His face was greasy, his head was fat and his ears were big, and his body was like a big ball. Xiang Yun suspected that if he fell to the ground, he would definitely not be able to get up by his own strength, and he might even roll out.
Xiang Yun stared at him for a long time before he recognized him. He couldn't help but said with a gloomy face: "Well, it seems that once you leave my sight, you, the slave, start to get cocky and do evil things in the palace, right!"
"No, no, I dare not!" Yuan Ping knelt on the ground like a ball. It was the coldest time of the year, but his round face was covered with dense sweat, and he was obviously scared.
Xiang Yun stepped forward and kicked him in anger, cursing, "I think you are very daring! Look at the fat on your body, how much oil and water did you get, how much happiness did you enjoy to raise it!"
"I'm afraid that the people in this palace are living a more comfortable life than you!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ping shouted: "Your Majesty, please be wise. I dare not be greedy for even a single cent of money in the palace! The only small change I have is the eunuchs and maids in the palace who forcefully gave it to me. This, this, this."
"Your Majesty, you also know that I have too much money to spend, and there is no one at home, and I have nowhere to spend it!
It's just that I'm a greedy person, and the dishes in the imperial kitchen are the most delicious in the world. I'm afraid that the dishes Your Majesty usually has leftovers will be wasted, so I eat them all, and that's why I've become so fat!"
Xiang Yun angrily scolded: "According to what you said, I was wrong about you. Have you been eating my leftovers for three meals a day these days?"
Yuan Ping quickly said: "No, no, I ate it after dinner."
Xiang Yun was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you talk nonsense in front of me! Tell me how much money you have embezzled in the palace these days!"
Yuan Ping was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. He said in panic, "Your Majesty, it's not much, not much. It's only three million taels of silver in total. I dare not spend a penny. I have saved it all at home, waiting for Your Majesty to ask so that I can give it to Your Majesty together!"
"Hmph!" Xiang Yun snorted coldly in annoyance. Fortunately, this guy can talk!
Xiang Yun then suppressed his anger and returned to the topic: "I want to ask you, do you know what happened between the Queen and Concubine Wang a few days ago?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ping quickly said, "Your Majesty, I know everything that happened that day. The people that Mei Renyao brought were obtained from me."
Xiang Yun said sternly: "Tell me everything you know. If you dare to hide anything, I will cut your flesh off piece by piece!"
Yuan Ping dared not hide anything and immediately told everything out like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube. He considered himself the emperor's confidant in the palace, so who else could he tell the truth to if not Xiang Yun.
After all, this matter has nothing to do with him and cannot be linked to him.
"It's just that when Mei Renyao came to ask for someone, she didn't bring the Queen's Phoenix Seal, so I don't know whether this was done by that daring maid or the Queen's intention."
"But the Queen's reaction afterwards was very strong. Not only did she go to visit Concubine Wang and get her arm bitten, she also ordered the execution of the maid Mei Renyao. Several of my men were also captured and beaten to death."
"By the way, when we were dealing with these people, the commanders were there too. Your Majesty, you can go ask the commanders. Maybe he knows more details!"
Xiang Yun's eyes had narrowed into slits at this time. He waved his hand at him and said, "I understand. Back off!"
This sentence made Yuan Ping feel as if he had been pardoned. He thought to himself, "Your Majesty really loves me!"
But just as Yuan Ping retreated to the door of the imperial study, he heard Xiang Yun scolding: "Send the three million taels of silver to me immediately. Also, I will give you a month. If you are still like this, then you can get rid of yourself!"
"Yes, I'll obey your command!" Yuan Ping quickly agreed and retreated.
Xiang Yun immediately called Zhu Jinxiao, who was waiting outside the imperial study, in and asked him about everything.
Afterwards, Xiang Yun left the imperial study with a heavy heart and walked slowly towards the imperial garden.
According to what these two people said, this matter had little to do with the queen, but human nature is treacherous and people are capable of doing things like putting away the bow after the bird is dead and killing the donkey after it has done its job.
If you think about it carefully, if this matter was really planned by the Queen, then Zhen Rou's thoughts and acting skills are too terrifying!
Xiang Yun felt a chill when he thought of this, and he didn't want to see Zhen Rou again, even though it was just a suspicion at this time.
Soon they arrived at the Plum Blossom Pavilion. Xiang Yun looked up but did not see the familiar figure. He could not help but ask, "Why didn't Concubine Feng come today?"
The little melon seed behind him said quickly: "Your Majesty, there was news from Qingyou Palace just now that Concubine Feng caught a cold today and is bedridden, so she will not come to accompany Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yun immediately said, "Go to Qingyou Palace!"
As soon as he entered Qingyou Palace, Xiang Yun saw Feng Changxi leaning against the bed with a pale face and dry lips. A maid was feeding her medicine.
When everyone saw Xiang Yun, they hurriedly wanted to stand up and salute, but Xiang Yun immediately waved his hand, signaling them to leave, then stepped forward to take the medicine bowl from the maid, sat next to Feng Changxi in her place, picked up the porcelain spoon to scoop up the medicine soup, blew on it, and passed it to Feng Changxi.
Feng Changxi looked at him with complicated eyes, but still obediently leaned over, opened her mouth and drank it, then coughed lightly twice.
Xiang Yun quickly patted her back to soothe her, then scooped up some medicine and came over to complain, "Why don't you put on more clothes when the weather is cold? These servants are really stupid. They don't take good care of you. Now that you are so sick, I am the one who feels sorry for you!"
Feng Changxi didn't say anything when she heard his complaints. She just fed Yun the medicine and she drank it without refusing.
Soon the bowl of medicine was finished, Xiang Yun helped her lie down again, covered her with a blanket, and said softly, "You should have a good rest."
Then Xiang Yun didn't leave, but sat beside the bed and stared at her blankly. Feng Changxi was not shy either, but just stared at Xiang Yun. The two of them kept looking at each other.
After a long while, Feng Changxi smiled and said, "Your Majesty has become more mature since he ascended the throne and became the emperor. He is no longer the idle dandy he used to be. Not only does he know how to govern the country, he also knows how to take care of people."
Xiang Yun scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I have always been like this, but you are the only one who dares to say that I am not doing my job properly."
Feng Changxi smiled slightly, then took a deep breath and said calmly: "Your Majesty, can you promise me one thing?"
Xiang Yun said quickly: "Just tell me, no matter what you ask, I will agree to it!"
Feng Changxi was silent for a while, then said softly: "Can you let me go?"
"Ah?" Xiang Yun was stunned. He obviously didn't understand and looked at her with confusion.
Feng Changxi swallowed her saliva, then choked up and continued, "I don't want to stay in this palace anymore. I want to leave and go out and see more. I know that the world outside is so big that it can accommodate countless palaces. I want..."
"Enough!" Without waiting for Feng Changxi to finish speaking, Xiang Yun shouted at her, then suddenly stood up and walked outside. His chest heaved violently, and he was obviously very angry.
But halfway through the walk, he turned back, his face full of anger and cold eyes, and looked at Feng Changxi and said in a trembling voice: "Do you really want to leave me?"
