Marquis Weiwu actually hired an assassin to assassinate me!
When Ye Ning heard the news, he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
He suddenly realized that this was a world with extraordinary powers.
Assassination was the most direct and effective way to get rid of a person.
It was completely reasonable for Weiwu Hou to hire an assassin.
For others, being targeted by an assassin was a tragic thing, but for Ye Ning, he wished he could go out and set off firecrackers to welcome the assassin.
Come on, kill me!
His depressed mood suddenly perked up.
When he saw the sword talisman handed over by the strange old man, the corners of his eyes twitched as he said.
"There's no need for that. I have the Righteousness Qi protecting my body.”
The strange old man shook his head and insisted.
"The Confucian Way is desolate, and no matter how much Righteousness Qi there is in the body, it can't be used…It's easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. There are many ways to harm people in this world.”
Ye Ning had no choice but to take the sword talisman.
This was an amulet.
However, Ye Ning felt that it was very hot to hold.
I have to think of a way to throw this thing aside.
Ye Ning appreciated his good intentions.
However, there was no need to protect him.
Seeing Ye Ning take the sword talisman, the strange old man nodded and turned to leave.
Ye Ning looked at his thin and lonely back and suddenly felt a strong curiosity.
"This…old mister, who are you?”
The strange old man paused and said.
"A nobody."
He was still unwilling to say.
Ye Ning was not someone who liked to force others to do things they were unwilling to do. He could only give up and ask.
"Then you are my general judge. You have to tell me your name, right?”
He was silent for a moment before he said.
"Wu Sansi."
Wu Sansi?
Ye Ning silently noted it down.
Outside, because of the Overwatch Council, it was in an uproar.
The Overwatch Council was not quiet either.
It had been abandoned for too long. Just rebuilding the Overwatch Council would take a lot of effort.
But everyone was enjoying it.
Because they felt that they were doing something meaningful.
After all, they were people with extraordinary powers. In half a day, they had almost finished all these things.
Ye Ning didn't help.
He entered the archive room that was piled with books.
This was an important place of the Overwatch Council. Without the warrant of an official above the general judge level, one could not enter.
As an Imperial Censor of the Overwatch Council, he naturally had no taboos.
There was no complicated reason for Ye Ning to enter this place. He just wanted to find out the background of these dogs under him.
Although Cai Xianggao told him briefly, he didn't go into details.
Moreover, Cai Xianggao only knew Niu Jinxi and Wei Wentong. He didn't know anything about the others.
Ye Ning casually flipped through the book.
With one look, he was a little mesmerized.
Because the Overwatch Council had recorded too many things in too much detail.
Ever since the founding of Taizu, the Overwatch Council had always been the number one authority in the Great Zhou.
The Overwatch Council had recorded many taboo matters that no one in the outside world dared to talk about.
When Ye Ning was reading, his literary spirit surged.
It could allow him to read ten lines at a glance and have a photographic memory.
He flipped through the books quickly. In a dozen breaths, he finished a book and then changed to the next one.
He felt as if he was reading the annals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the first three thousand years, the Great Zhou had developed to its peak.
The Great Zhou Ancestor was as dazzling as the sun. He suppressed the world and swept across the eight wastelands. No faction dared to challenge the Great Zhou.
He forged the nine cauldrons to represent the nine provinces and suppress the fate of the Great Zhou.
He had created an army called the 'Heaven Slaying Army'. It was said that even the most ordinary soldier was a Rank-2 martial artist.
The strength of the sergeants, centurions, and higher-ranking generals was even more unfathomable.
He was also a genius in internal affairs. He had the world in his heart, advocated the imperial examination, suppressed the aristocratic families, promoted the poor families, and cared for the people.
In short, if these records were true.
The Great Ancestor of the Great Zhou could be said to be the most wise ruler in history.
He deserved it for creating such a glorious dynasty.
But three thousand years later, everything changed.
The Great Zhou Taizu had mysteriously disappeared, and his life and death were unknown.
The Crown Prince succeeded to the throne.
In the first 300 years, the Great Zhou was still advancing triumphantly.
Even though he had lost his ancestor, the rules he had set were still firmly implemented by the Crown Prince.
It could be said that as long as the country was governed strictly according to Taizu's vision, even a dog on the dragon throne would be fine.
However, the Crown Prince was not a dog. He was also a Saint Monarch.
Although he was not as good as Taizu, he was definitely a virtuous ruler.
Moreover, his martial arts attainments were not low.
Logically speaking, with his strength, it would not be a problem for him to live for two to three thousand years.
But the strange thing was that in the 400th year, the Crown Prince died of illness.
How he died was still an unsolved case.
It was supposed to be in its prime, but it suddenly died.
Even the Overwatch Council did not know the reason.
After that, a new Crown Prince ascended the throne.
He was also a virtuous ruler.
However, the strange thing was that he died again after ruling for less than 70 years!
Was this the lifespan of an heir who had cultivated the martial arts of the founding ancestor?
Of course not.
Everyone knew that there was a big problem here.
However, all the officials in the court couldn't find any clues.
After that, seven generations of rulers all had short lives.
The person who had lived the longest was only over 150 years old.
The king was the leader of a country and also the most important person.
With so many kings in trouble, the impact on the Great Zhou was huge.
The hearts of the people were unstable, and the world was in turmoil.
In addition, after that, a few fatuous rulers really appeared, and the Great Zhou showed an obvious trend of weakening.
During this special period, a major event happened.
The Overwatch Council's supervisor had decided to find Taizu.
This was something that no one understood at the time.
Because almost everyone thought that the Great Ancestor was already dead.
However, the supervisor did not think so.
"The Great Ancestor reigns over the current generation and is rarely seen in 10,000 years. How can a peerless expert like him disappear so easily?”
The prison is close to Taizu.
He assisted Taizu in starting his career in the wilderness.
Their relationship was no less than that of brothers.
He had never believed that the Great Ancestor was dead. He believed that the only person who could stop the Great Zhou's decline was the Great Ancestor.
If Taizu could return, the world would be settled.
So the supervisor went to find Taizu.
He never came back.
"It's broken."
Seeing this, Ye Ning realized something.
The Great Ancestor was no longer around. In a sense, the supervisor was the stabilizing pillar of the Great Zhou.
Not only was he experienced, senior, and prestigious, but he was also a top-notch expert.
With him in the capital, everyone had to be wary.
If he went, the world would be in chaos.
Sure enough, after the superintendent left, the Great Zhou fell into complete chaos. The Overwatch Council also went into sunset.
The immortal sects took advantage of the situation.
In the end, it became like this today.
Ye Ning felt as if he had seen a rich and vast history of the rise and fall of a dynasty.
In this history of prosperity and decline, anyone had to be convinced by the Great Zhou Taizu.
This person's tyranny, breadth of mind, and talent were rare in history.
It was no wonder that the supervisor did not believe that he would die and was determined to find him.
So, was the Great Zhou Ancestor dead or not?
Ye Ning was also very curious. When he became the Heavenly Emperor, he would definitely go and investigate.
However, it was extremely difficult to become a Heavenly Emperor…
Ye Ning was no longer confident.
The consecutive failures made him feel that courting death was not an easy thing.
He finally flipped to the news of the Overwatch Council.
It was this group of dogs that caused my efforts to fail!
The news from Wei Wentong and Niu Jinxi was similar to what Cai Xianggao had said.
However, the records here were more detailed.
After Ye Ning flipped through it, he paid attention to the others.
At present, there were only a few dozen people in the Overwatch Council. Because of his photographic memory, Ye Ning had memorized all of them and now compared them one by one.
As expected, all of them had the potential to backstab!
Why did he say that?
This was because each of these people was not simple. They were all pushed out by the various yamens and local governments.
There were those with outstanding literary talent, those who were upright and upright, and those who were martial geniuses…
My Overwatch Council is amazing!"
Ye Ning was unprecedentedly vigilant.
Although there weren't many people in the Overwatch Council, they were all elites.
This was very dangerous.
With this group of people protecting him, how could he still seek death?
The difficulty soared.
"But speaking of which, there's actually no news of the strange old man here?”
Ye Ning frowned.
Did Wu Sansi really fall from the sky?
However, he did not know that there was someone else who had the same question as him.
In the Imperial Palace.
In the royal study.
"Jiangnan's number one constable, a valiant general of the border army…This Overwatch Council is really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.”
Ji Mingyue flipped through the latest intelligence from the Secret Intelligence Agency, her face covered with a layer of murderous intent.
"All of you deserve to die!"
Of course, she wasn't talking about the Overwatch Council.
Instead, they sent these people to the Overwatch Council.
As the ruler of a country, she did not know that the Overwatch Council had become a place of exile.
Those who were " unsociable " in officialdom were all kicked to the Overwatch Council.
This had already become an unspoken rule!
" The crafty sycophants are high in the court, and the loyal officials are frozen…" Xiao Qianqian sighed and said,"" This is also my mistake. I neglected the Overwatch Council. If I had known about this earlier, perhaps they wouldn't be so sad.”
They already knew what kind of life Wei Wentong and the others had been living all these years.
He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"I can't blame you."
Ji Mingyue shook her head.
The Secret Intelligence Department was not the same as the one in the Taizu era. Its ability was limited. It was not easy to support the intelligence network every day. It was inevitable that there would be some mistakes.
She couldn't blame Xiao Qianqian for this, so she comforted her.
"From another perspective, it might be a good thing that they met Ye Ning and were reborn.”
Hearing this, Xiao Qianqian smiled mischievously.
" This is all the Emperor's credit. It was the Emperor's discerning eyes that sent Lord Ye to the Overwatch Council.”
The two of them had a good relationship and often joked around.
Therefore, Ji Mingyue wasn't angry when she heard Xiao Qianqian's teasing. Instead, she smiled bitterly and said.
"If I had known about this situation, how could I have sent him to the Overwatch Council?”
He had originally wanted Ye Ning to stop for a period of time.
But this was the result.
Ye Ning's fame grew, and his light became even more dazzling.
Even the entire Overwatch Council was renewed and entered everyone's field of vision.
It was not difficult to guess that there would be a storm regarding the Overwatch Council in court.
However, that was all for the future. Just thinking about it gave Ji Mingyue a headache. She didn't think about it for the time being. She picked up the information that Xiao Qianqian had gathered and asked.
"Your intelligence seems to have missed out on someone.”
Xiao Qianqian retracted her smile and said.
"It's that Adept who uses the flying sword."
"Why is there no news of him?"
"I don't know either. It's as if this person fell from the sky. He has no family or past. I only found out that his name is Wu Sansi.”
"That's really strange."
Ji Mingyue frowned.
It was very rare for the Spy Department to not be able to find out the details even after knowing the name.
"I have a guess."
Xiao Qianqian said.
"There are only two places in the world that the Secret Intelligence Agency can't touch. One is the immortal sect, and the other is the palace!”
It was not that there were no spies in the immortal sect, but they were all outer sect disciples.
He couldn't touch anything core at all.
As for the palace, that was not within the scope of the Spy Division's responsibility.
The palace was the territory of the emperor.
The officials were setting up spies in the palace?
What did that sound like?
"It's unlikely that he's from the Celestial Sect. If he's from the Celestial Sect, why would he save Ye Qing?”
Ji Mingyue understood what Xiao Qianqian meant and said.
"Are you suspecting that he is from the palace?”
Xiao Qianqian nodded.
"But how is that possible?"
Ji Mingyue frowned.
How could she not know the people in the palace?
No!
She suddenly thought of a possibility.
Thinking about Wu Sansi's age…
"Perhaps he's a figure from the previous emperor's era!”
Ji Mingyue thought of a possibility.
She decided to investigate.
A Perfected Being who used a flying sword was not weak in martial arts. In an immortal sect, he was also qualified to take in disciples.
If she didn't figure out his background, how could she be at ease with him staying by Ye Ning's side?
If Ye Ning knew that the empress was so concerned about his safety…
He would definitely give her the middle finger.
He said a friendly sentence to the empress.
Three words.
