Chapter 4190 4192 [Tongtian Conspiracy]

"Okay, do it immediately." Shen Hou nodded, "Tianya, you follow me into the palace. Yidao, you stay in the villa and be ready to be dispatched at any time."

"Yes, godfather." Xiang Nan, Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang all bowed.

Duan Tianya is the Godly Marquis's favorite adopted son, and Haitang is his favorite adopted daughter. He always keeps these two with him. Whenever he goes on a mission, he always sends them.

For example, when they went to the State Guesthouse to investigate the background of Princess Karasuma and Princess Rihide, and when they went to the Giant Whale Gang to investigate the rebellion, etc., they sent two people.

As for the Gui Hai Knife, it is a knife hidden in the dark. It is not used unless necessary, but once used, it will hurt people, so there are few opportunities to use it, and outsiders are mostly unaware of it.

Even Cao Zhengchun only knew about Gui Hai Yidao, but knew very little about his background, appearance, martial arts, etc.

Afterwards, Shangguan Haitang returned to the No. 1 Manor in the World to find Zhang Jinjiu, Shen Hou took Duan Tianya into the palace, and Xiang Nan stayed in the Hulong Villa to be on standby at any time.

This was exactly what he wanted.

After he learned the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, he had not had time to verify it. Now he just happened to have time.

Xiang Nan then returned to his residence and cast a Muggle shielding spell.

Then, he followed what Gu Santong had taught him and silently practiced the inner skills of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

I just felt a warm current rushing to the top of my head, it was warm and comfortable, and then spread to every part of my body.

In an instant, countless rays of light suddenly burst out from his body, and then his shirt was torn apart by a strong airflow, revealing the golden body inside.

Xiang Nan suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength and indestructible, as if he could even poke a hole in the sky.

"What a powerful martial arts, so amazing!" He felt the surging fighting power in his body, at least three or four times stronger than usual, simply invincible.

"Thanks to my profound internal strength, I learned it in no time." Xiang Nan then felt fortunate again.

Back then, Gu Santong practiced the Vajra Indestructible Art, but it took him nineteen years to achieve transformation.

However, this is also due to his kind heart.

There is a shortcut to practicing the Vajra Indestructible Art, which is to use the power-absorbing technique to absorb other people's internal energy, just like Tiedan Shenhou.

In this way, one can quickly accumulate enough internal strength to practice the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

However, the power-absorbing technique can plunder other people's internal energy and martial arts, and is a very vicious and evil skill. Therefore, Gu Santong just learned it but did not use it, so he practiced internal skills on his own.

It can be seen that although he is both good and evil and cynical, he is not actually a bad person and has much more bottom line than Zhu Wusi.

"With my current strength, I should be able to defeat Zhu Wusi. But unfortunately, he has not been exposed yet. If I kill him now, it will only enhance his reputation." Xiang Nan said again.

His Vajra Indestructible Magical Skills were already enough to fight against Zhu Wusi. Besides, he was also proficient in so many magic spells that he could kill Zhu Wusi unintentionally.

For example, the Avada Kedavra curse strikes directly at the soul and cannot be blocked or cracked. No magical skills that protect the body can help.

Anyone who is caught off guard will inevitably die. It is extremely horrifying.

It’s just as an ancient poem says, “Duke Zhou feared rumors, and Wang Mang was humble before he usurped the throne. If he had died at the beginning, who would know the truth about his life?”

Killing Zhu Wusi now would actually make him famous for the rest of his life.

Moreover, after Zhu Wusi's death, Cao Zhengchun took advantage of the situation to expand his power.

By then, without the control of Hulong Villa, Cao Zhengchun could easily hold the emperor hostage to control the princes.

Even if Cao Zhengchun was eliminated by then, the Ming Dynasty would still be in turmoil.

Besides, he hasn't won Haitang's heart yet, so it's not appropriate to create trouble.

…The next day, in the afternoon.

Zhang Jinjiu, the world's number one detective, came to Hulong Villa to report the news he was investigating.

"Zhang Jinjiu, have you found any trace of the Queen Mother?" Haitang asked with concern.

"The best detective in the world is not a god, and he doesn't have a divine eye to look for the Queen Mother." Zhang Jinjiu said with a smile, "But my efforts were not in vain, and I found some clues."

"Please speak." Duan Tianya asked.

"I have found out that there are no more than three places in the capital that can house the empress dowager," said Zhang Jinjiu.

"Which three?" Haitang asked.

"First, it is the number one manor in the world. The East Factory has never searched it, and neither has the owner of the manor." Zhang Jinjiu explained.

"Yes, but not there." Haitang shook her head.

"The second is the East Factory headquarters. There are many mechanisms, secret rooms, and nine-story prisons there. Even the world's number one assassin was killed without mercy. It is said that the East Factory headquarters is full of dangers and hard to guard against." Zhang Jinjiu added.

"That makes sense." Duan Tianya nodded, "What about the third place?"

"The only thing left is the State Guesthouse. Princess Rihide of Izumo Province is temporarily residing here. She is the future imperial consort. Who would dare to search it?" Zhang Jinjiu said again.

"So which of these two places is more suspicious?" Haitang asked again.

"Half and half, it's hard to tell which is which." Zhang Jinjiu replied.

"I'll go to the State Guesthouse to investigate tonight." Duan Tianya said immediately.

……

At the same time, although Xiang Nan also received the news, he still did not take any action and was still waiting for the orders from the gods.

In fact, he knew that the Queen Mother was indeed captured by Karasuma and Princess Rihide and imprisoned in the State Guesthouse.

But in fact, Wuhuan and Princess Lixiu were both fakes. Their real identities were assassins sent by Zhu Wusi, the Iron-hearted Marquis, to assassinate the emperor and the empress dowager, and eventually put the blame on Cao Zhengchun of the East Factory.

The current emperor has just ascended the throne and has few children, all of whom are very young. Therefore, once the emperor and the empress dowager pass away, Shen Hou can get rid of Cao Zhengchun and clear the obstacles, ascend the throne and take charge of the government.

Even if we take a step back, he could also support the new emperor, thereby becoming a regent with real power, and further erode the imperial power and exclude political opponents.

By then, he will have all the power in his hands, and even if the emperor grows up, he will not be able to do anything to him.

His wishful thinking was very sound, and for this purpose he specially sent out two top masters, the fake Karasuma and the fake Rihide.

The martial arts of both of them were better than Haitang, Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao, and with him, the mastermind, hiding in the dark to assist them, their plan was foolproof.

But he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would show up unexpectedly and encounter Cheng Shifei, a man with outstanding martial arts skills, to disrupt the situation.

He first used bone-dissolving powder to kill the fake Wuwan, and then joined forces with Du Tianya and Gui Hai to kill the fake Li Xiu with one sword. In the end, he successfully rescued the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and thus crushed the conspiracy of Shen Hou.

It's just that Cheng Shifei is a cynical and careless person, and his uncertainty is too great.

"It seems like I have to go to the State Guesthouse and get rid of the fake Wuhuan first." Xiang Nan thought.

After getting rid of the fake Karasuma, it will be easy to deal with the fake Rihide.

Because the fake Wuhuan's martial arts are more advanced and his methods are more vicious, he is very difficult to deal with, while the fake Rihide's martial arts are weaker.

And at that time, he and Duan Tianya will join forces to deal with it, two against one, and the winning rate will be higher.
