In the Oboi Mansion.
After Oboi had been assassinated and fled back to his residence, he was naturally furious. He sent people to investigate and gathered a few capable subordinates to discuss.
"Sir, in my opinion, the two itinerant monks who tried to assassinate you are the fat and thin venerables of Liaodong. These two people are very skilled in martial arts and have always been unruly. I really don't know what kind of person could recruit these two people?”Chengzhi carefully recalled the situation that day. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true, so he was the first to speak.
"That's right, Eldest Senior Brother. I met these two once many years ago. They are indeed the fat and thin venerables of Liaodong. At that time, Second Senior Brother had also thought of summoning them to serve Eldest Senior Brother. However, these two people looked down on our Golden Top Sect at all. In the end, Second Senior Brother was furious and surrounded them with a few senior brothers. Although they were seriously injured, they were still able to escape and became a great humiliation for the Golden Top Sect.”Master Ji Yong nodded and agreed with Cheng Zhi's words. At the same time, he revealed a secret of the Golden Top Sect. Fortunately, Cheng Zhi was Ao Bai's confidant, so Master Ji Yong was not afraid that he would tell others about it.
"Liaodong's Fat and Skinny Second Venerable?" Ao Bai had not been in Jianghu for a long time, so this was the first time he had heard this name." Not only them, but the two people you fought with are as good as the two Honored Warriors of Liaodong. I wonder if the two of you can recognize them?"”Ao Bai then thought of Lu Gaoxuan and Yang Yizhi, who could fight to a draw with Ji Yong and Cheng Zhi. Ao Bai knew Ji Yong and Cheng Zhi's abilities very well. To be able to fight to a draw with them, they were definitely not unknown people in Jianghu.
"The person who fought with Master Ji Yong seems to be the famous Master Brush Sword, Lu Gaoxuan, who shook Shanxi ten years ago. However, ten years ago, this person seemed to have disappeared into thin air and was never heard of again. I didn't expect that he would appear in the capital today and even dare to assassinate you.”Cheng Zhi had been in the martial world for many years, so he could naturally recognize a martial arts master like Lu Gaoxuan.
"Yes, no matter what, Eldest Senior Brother, I have a feeling that this matter is not as simple as an ordinary assassination.”Master Ji Yong was not only inferior to Ao Bai and Master Ji Hong in martial arts in the Golden Top Sect, but he was also the number one think tank in the Golden Top Sect, which was why Ao Bai valued him so much.
"Oh, did Fourth Junior discover something? Tell me quickly.”Ao Bai also faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He was very excited to hear Master Ji Yong's words. He knew that Master Ji Yong usually didn't talk much, but every time he spoke, he would definitely think about it carefully and make deductions.
"Eldest Senior Brother, the nine people who tried to assassinate Eldest Senior Brother today were all highly skilled in martial arts. Moreover, the place they chose to assassinate was the best place for an ambush. Clearly, these people had investigated for many days before launching this ambush. Since they already have the intention, they naturally know the capabilities of our group. Moreover, the masked man's 100 men have been trained for a long time and are not a motley crew that was put together at the last minute. From this, we can see that this person must have a great background. If that's the case, I'm sure that this person's strength is definitely not limited to this. That's why I find it strange. If he can send one or two people with strong martial arts, I'm afraid that I won't be able to escape today.”Master Ji Yong was indeed meticulous and his analysis was logical.
"Fourth Junior Brother, could it be that that person intentionally didn't want to kill us and let us live?”No matter how stupid Ao Bai was, he could guess the meaning behind Master Ji Yong's words.
"This is exactly what I mean. This is also what I can't understand. This person actually has so many masters under him. He must not be an unknown person in the Jianghu. Moreover, since he wants to assassinate Eldest Brother, why doesn't he kill us in one fell swoop?”Master Ji Yong shook his head slightly in confusion.
"There are many people in Jianghu who have so many masters as subordinates, but those who dare to assassinate you can be counted on one hand. The Heaven and Earth Society, King Mu's Mansion, Wangwushan, Wu Sangui, Sukesaha, and the relatives of those who were executed because of the Ming history case. In my opinion, you can send a large number of people to investigate this matter, and the truth will soon be revealed.”Chengzhi finally had a chance to show off, so he naturally wouldn't let it go.
"No." Master Ji Yong hurriedly waved his hand and stopped Cheng Zhi." Eldest Senior Brother, actually, I missed one person just now."”
"Who is it?"
"Your Majesty." Master Ji Yong gently rubbed his smooth chin and said in a faint voice.
"What is it? The current emperor?" Not to mention Cheng Zhi, even Oboi was shocked when he heard this." Impossible, that child? How was that possible? Moreover, although there are many guards in the palace, there are very few who are skilled in martial arts. Although there are a few of them, they are definitely not your opponents, let alone that masked man whose martial arts are not much different from mine.”
"Eldest Senior Brother, you must not be careless in this matter. Now that Eldest Senior Brother is in charge of the government, he has long been regarded as a thorn in the little Emperor's hand and wants to get rid of Eldest Senior Brother. Eldest Senior Brother is our leader. If anything happens to Eldest Senior Brother, we brothers will naturally be unable to escape the calamity.”Master Ji Yong saw that Ao Bai was looking down on the little Emperor and quickly tried to persuade him.
"Hahahaha, Fourth Junior Brother, you've filtered it out. The little Emperor is only fifteen or nineteen years old, and he has never left the gates of the palace. The martial arts of the guards in the palace are all ordinary, so how could he know those martial arts experts?”Oboi didn't mind.
Seeing that Ao Bai didn't take it seriously, Master Ji Yong was anxious and advised,""Has Eldest Senior Brother forgotten about the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Kitchen, Hai Dafu? Before he entered the palace to serve the old Emperor, he was also famous in the Jianghu. However, because he was arrogant and often killed people because of his anger, he had too many enemies. He had no choice but to hide in the Imperial Palace and become a eunuch to avoid being hunted down by his enemies.”
" Junior Brother, do you mean…" Ao Bai seemed to have realized something.
"That's right. Didn't Eldest Senior Brother notice that Hai Dafu hasn't shown himself for a month? "As a eunuch, he can't leave the palace for more than a month without the emperor's order. From this, I can deduce that Hai Dafu must have accepted the little emperor's order to go to the martial world to search for martial arts experts. This time, Eldest Senior Brother was assassinated, perhaps…" Master Ji Yong stopped talking. He narrowed his eyes and stroked his smooth chin.
"That's right, Lord Ao, Master Ji Yong's words make sense. I've been feeling strange lately. Hai Dafu suddenly disappeared without a trace. I've been thinking about how to help you occupy a good piece of land and neglected this old eunuch. Please forgive me.”Cheng Zhi was in charge of monitoring the palace. He had not received any news of such a thing, so he had neglected his duty. To avoid being scolded by Oboi, Cheng Zhi attributed the reason to the enclosure movement.
"Humph." Oboi knew that it was time to use people. Chengzhi was a martial artist and was even better than Master Ji Yong, so he could not scold him too much." Fortunately, there was no danger this time. I will not punish you, but you must remember to closely monitor the movements in the palace. Don't be careless again, or you will be punished for both crimes."”
"Yes, Your Excellency. I will definitely keep a close watch on the Imperial Palace.”Chengzhi knew that Oboi wouldn't blame him.
"Hehe, Xuanye, if you want to fight with me, I'll play with you until the end. I don't even know whose country this Qing Dynasty belongs to.”Ao Bai's lips curled into a sinister smile.
