No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 262 Revenge of Clan Extermination!

Because Master Mingguang's sudden announcement, although it cleared up some doubts, made both Xie Yan and Luo Junyao feel heavy.

Whoever was told that there was going to be a bloodbath would not be happy.Even if this person can be regarded as their side, even if they were prepared to do it.

Just after lunch, someone came from the palace to spread the word that the Empress Dowager invited the prince and concubine to the palace.

After dismissing the messenger, Luo Junyao and Xie Yan exchanged glances.

Now the Empress Dowager can hardly take care of anything anymore, unless something important happens in the palace, the Empress Dowager will not invite two people into the palace at the same time.And the servant who heard the news said that nothing happened in the palace.

Even Empress Dowager Zhu was temporarily quiet because of the previous blow.

Thinking of Master Mingguang who had just left this morning, Luo Junyao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When the two stepped into the empress dowager's bedroom, the empress dowager was still awake and seemed in good spirits.It's just that no matter how energetic she is, she can't hide her increasingly skinny appearance.

Just now, when she met Princess Changling outside the palace, Princess Changling's eyes were reddish, and her tiredness could not be concealed.

Taking care of patients has never been an easy task, even though the Empress Dowager of the Ether did not need Princess Changling to do many things herself.But just watching one's most respected and beloved mother suffer such torture is already a huge psychological pressure for a child.

"Zhifei, shake...you are here."

The Empress Dowager waved with some difficulty, motioning for the two to come and sit down.

Luo Junyao went to the bed and sat down, while Xie Yan sat in the chair brought by the servant.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Eunuch Huang, Eunuch Huang nodded, and retreated with the maids.

There were only three people left in the gorgeous dormitory, and it seemed a bit quiet, as if there was only the uneven breathing of the Empress Dowager in the air.

There is always some smell in the house where the patient lives for a long time, even the bedroom that is carefully cared for every day, the smell is not very pleasant.

But at this time, no one cares about these.

"Auntie Huang." Xie Yan said softly.

The Empress Dowager smiled at the two of them with some difficulty, and said, "Your uncle... went to look for you?"

Xie Yan was not surprised, nodded and said: "Yes."

The Empress Dowager sighed, and after resting for a long time, she had the strength to continue, "Your uncle said before he was alive... he would still make trouble sooner or later. If you don't let him vent his anger... I'm afraid he won't be able to get through it for the rest of his life. It's just... there are some things that your uncle can't do anything about. When your uncle got the news, he sent Prince Ancheng to Lingzhou to stop the members of the Bai family. But he didn't want... The Bai family was just a cover, and the Yao family was... Or should I say, stare at him. It's not only the Bai family that is controlling the Yao family, the Bai family was stopped by King An Cheng, but... a step too late, and they didn't get anything."

Xie Yan looked at the Empress Dowager, "Auntie Huang, how many people are still alive today that uncle wanted to protect when he participated in this matter?"

The Empress Dowager sighed: "There is only one person left. The hatred for extermination of the clan is overwhelming. However, your uncle can't hand over the person to him. Although your uncle did not do that, the Xie family did benefit. Then When I divided the things of the Yao family, it was not for myself."

There was silence in the bedroom for a while, and Xie Yan asked softly after a long time: "Isn't it for yourself that you can kill people and steal goods, destroying people all over the house?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head with a wry smile and said, "This question...whether it's me, your uncle, or the man himself, I've asked myself countless times, but I'm afraid no one has the answer. Those things back then...who can tell? Before your uncle died, he told me...he has killed countless people in his life and has never regretted it, only the Yao family...he never killed a single member of the Yao family, but the Yao family was the most ashamed. He suppressed Yao Zhong for so many years, Protecting them for half of their lives, what happens behind them...he can't take care of them anymore."

"Aunt Huang summoned Zhifei, what are your orders?" Xie Yan asked.

The Empress Dowager asked: "Zhifei, can killing one person relieve Yao Lang's hatred of destroying his family?"

Xie Yan didn't answer, and Luo Junyao also remained silent.

They all understand that they can't.

From Bai Jingrong who was far away in the Qi clan, to Luan Yisi and Mingyin Pavilion who were hidden in the dark, there were many more people who didn't know their identities but were involved in it.There is also Master Mingguang's faint sentence earlier, "Many people will die", he clearly wants everyone involved in this matter to be buried with the Yao family.

Years of Buddhist influence did not resolve the hatred in Master Mingguang's heart.

Back then, Emperor Gaozu suppressed Master Mingguang's revenge, perhaps not just to keep the one or two people he couldn't give up.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, Luo Junyao couldn't help shivering due to the cold wind.

Xie Yan turned sideways and carefully tied the cloak on her body.

Luo Junyao looked up at him, but he still didn't speak after all.

Maybe the Empress Dowager didn't know what to say if she asked them to come into the palace, let Xie Yan continue to suppress Master Mingguang?This is obviously impossible, Xie Yan is the grandson of the Yao family and the nephew of Master Mingguang.The Yao family's family feud, as long as there is one Yao family member alive, will be settled sooner or later.

In the end, Xie Yan just said "Don't worry" to the Empress Dowager. As for what to worry about and how to worry about it, no one knows.

In the west of the city, not far from Mingyin Pavilion, there is a small building called Fengya Building.

There is a bookstore under this small building, but what they sell are not ancient books and classics, most of them are story books and picture books, and even erotic and fire-fighting things. In short, it is definitely not a place where good women and children should set foot. .

Anyone who went in and took a look at it would not be able to help but twitch the corners of their mouths at the plaque above Fengya Building when they stepped out of the bookstore.

Sitting in front of the window on the third floor of Fengya Building, you can just see the side of the main building of Mingyin Pavilion.

It was already afternoon, and there were very few pedestrians on the street in front of Mingyin Pavilion.Like everywhere in the vicinity, the people here clearly prefer the life of the morning and evening.

The gate of Mingyin Pavilion was closed tightly, and the huge monster under the sun did not have the magnificence of the night.There were a few guards in bunts standing at the gate, who couldn't see the splendor and prosperity of the night here.

Master Mingguang...or should be called Yao Zhong, sitting leisurely by the window and looking at the gate of Mingyin Pavilion in the distance.

He was holding a jug in his hand, and the faint aroma of wine permeated the room.

With this appearance, it is really difficult for people to connect him with the dignified and dignified eminent monk of Huguo Temple.

Suddenly there was a soft sound behind him, Yao Zhong didn't turn his head but asked indifferently, "Did you bring the thing?"

Standing behind him was a burly and capable man, it was Wang Fan who had been tossing around all night last night.There were many scars on Wang Fan's body, and the strong smell of blood and wine were intertwined, making Yao Zhong frowned in disgust.

Wang Fan stared at Yao Zhong's back with a cold expression, and after a while he reached out and took out a piece of colored glaze from his bosom.It was obviously stained with a lot of blood, but just wiped it casually, and the blood on it disappeared without a trace.

The multicolored glass is still brilliant in color, clean and clean.

Wang Fan looked at the man who turned around. The man was more handsome than he imagined, but he also seemed to be older than he imagined.Although the wrinkles at the end of the eyes did not affect his demeanor at all, Wang Fan already knew that this person was not the middle-aged man in his thirties as he thought.

"Who are you?!" Wang Fan asked coldly.

Yao Zhong didn't answer his question, but just stretched out his hand calmly, "Bring it." Wang Fan tightened his hand holding the five-color colored glaze, avoiding his outstretched hand.

Yao Zhong was not surprised, but raised his brow slightly and said, "You want to break the contract?"

Wang Fan stared at him and said, "This item is worth 100 million taels, maybe more." As we all know, if more than one person is willing to pay 100 million taels for an item, and more people are willing to work hard for it, then its true value It is much higher than 100 million taels.

Yao Zhong laughed lightly and said: "I decide how much it is worth. I say it is worth 100 million taels and it is worth it. If I say it is not worth it, it is worth nothing."

There was suspicion in Wang Fan's eyes, obviously he didn't think that this person who refused to pay even 100 million would have such a great ability.

Yao Zhong stood up and strolled towards Wang Fan.

Wang Fan stared at him with some vigilance. The man in front of him was obviously a literati who didn't know the slightest bit of martial arts, but somehow he felt a sense of danger.He didn't even feel this kind of feeling on Qu Fang last night.

If he had to say that someone had given him a dangerous feeling, it was probably Xie Yan a few years ago.

But unlike Xie Yan, Xie Yan gave him the feeling that it was a peerless sword that showed its sharpness, it could pierce the heart with one sword, seal the throat with one sword, and it was unstoppable.But the person in front of him felt like some kind of invisible thing, which couldn't be grasped, but was inexplicably dangerous.

"Bring it." Yao Zhong walked up to Wang Fan and stretched out his hand again.

Wang Fan still didn't move, Yao Zhong snorted lightly and said: "Wang Fan, I can find you, and naturally I can let you go back to the sky prison. By the way, based on your crime, this time it should not just be in the sky prison. Is it that simple?"

A flash of anger flashed in Wang Fan's eyes, but he didn't attack it. He stuffed things heavily into Yao Zhong's hands, and said with a slight warning: "Don't forget your promise."

Yao Zhong turned around and picked up a box from the table beside him and threw it over.

Wang Fan opened it in his hand, and there was a thick stack of banknotes in the box, "You can leave Shangyong after taking the money, and I also suggest that you leave Shangyong as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of the Prince Regent's House, it's none of my business." thing."

Wang Fan snorted lightly, and said, "Don't worry about it!" He took out the banknote and stuffed it into his arms, then threw away the box containing the banknote, turned around and walked out.

Yao Zhong shook his head, "Don't listen to good people."

After the sound of footsteps going downstairs disappeared, Yao Zhong walked to the window on the other side, saw Wang Fan's back leaving from the back door of Fengya Building, and then lowered his head to play with the colored glaze in his hand.

"My lord." The shopkeeper of the book store, who looked over sixty years old, came up slowly, walked up to Yao Zhong, and bowed his hands respectfully.

Yao nodded emphatically, tossed the colored glass to him casually and said, "Let someone send it to the Prince Regent's Palace."

The shopkeeper took it in his hand, and said in surprise, "My lord made a special trip to get it back, why don't you keep it for yourself?"

Yao Zhong smiled, "I've had this thing in my hands for so many years, what's the use? It's just a piece of worthless colored glaze."

Taking away half of the colored glaze back then was actually a whim. If Yu Chen's rebellion hadn't aroused his interest later, he would have forgotten where to throw this thing.

It wasn't until the past two years that he found some clues about Mingyin Pavilion and Yisi Luan that he dug this thing out of the pile of debris.

"That Wang Fan may not be obedient and leave Shangyong. If he is caught, we may be in trouble." The shopkeeper whispered.

Yao Zhong said: "Of course he won't leave Shangyong just like that. It is the limit for a person like him who was frustrated by Zhifei and forced to hide his name for so many years. Even if he is afraid of Zhifei, but after Mingyin Pavilion and last night's Things, and I won't leave easily. Maybe I will bring someone to trouble me later. "

The shopkeeper said contemptuously: "Reckless gangsters, how can there be any faith at all? Do you want to avoid it for a while?"

Yao Zhong said lightly: "Don't avoid it, let's change the plaque upstairs." After finishing speaking, he took out a seal from his sleeve and handed it over.

The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, and he quickly and respectfully stretched out his hands to take the seal, with a hint of excitement in his brows, "This subordinate understands."

"Go."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

After Wang Fan left Fengya Building, the gloom in his heart became more and more intense.

He regretted that he had compromised so easily with the scholar just now, which made him feel very ashamed and annoyed.Obviously there were only two people present at the time, but looking back now, there is a feeling that everyone in the world saw that they were frightened by a scholar who had no strength to restrain him.

This feeling made him feel ashamed and annoyed, even more angry than when he was captured by Xie Yan back then.

He turned to go back, but stopped after walking a few steps.

His sinister eyes narrowed slightly, "Wusai Liuli...Wucai Liuli, what kind of treasure is it?" He didn't know how many people wanted to grab that thing last night, but since Wucai Liuli got into his hands, There were at least seven or eight first- and second-rate masters who died in his hands, and there were no less than twenty third-rate masters who were completely ignored by him.Not to mention that people like Qu Fang were recruited in the end. If it weren't for the coincidence of those official posts, I am afraid that last night would not have ended so easily.

Wang Fan suddenly gave a sinister laugh, he didn't know who it was, but he didn't come to Beijing just for him.

Wang Fan reached out and took out a signboard from his pocket. The black ebony signboard didn't look special, and a small phonetic character was engraved on the back of the signboard.

"Wang Fan." Just when Wang Fan was thinking about it with a hideous look on his brows, some abrupt voices sounded from not far behind him.

Wang Fan's heart sank. Although he was a little distracted just now, he didn't realize it until the other party made a sound at such a close distance. It can be seen that the strength of the comer is not weak.

Wang Fan put away the ebony token in his hand, and quickly turned to look at the source of the voice.

Standing at the corner of the street not far away was a middle-aged man wearing an indigo cloth. A hideous scar destroyed the man's original handsome face. His long sleeve hung empty under his left shoulder, apparently missing an arm.

Not far from him, several people appeared one after another.

A slender woman in black, the woman in black was extremely beautiful and looked cold, obviously with a bit of alien blood.

About ten steps away from the woman in black stood two men in black.

On the other side, a young man in white sat on the roof.

Although the weather is sunny today and the weather is good, but fanning with a folding fan in the early winter, there are probably some problems in the brain.

He saw this man in white last night, in Mingyin Pavilion.

"Who are you?" Wang Fan asked cautiously.

Sitting on the roof and skipping work during the day, Wei Shizi replied with a smile: "The person who arrested you, Wang Fan, you are quite courageous. No one has come to you these years, so you think you can show your face in Shangyong with a big swagger Is it gone?"

Wang Fan's expression was distorted, "How do you know me...that bastard betrayed me!" Wang Fan thought of a possibility in an instant, wishing to cut that man into pieces.

Wei Changting didn't correct his wild thoughts, "Let's just get caught."

"Arrest with nothing?" Wang Fan snorted coldly with disdain, "It's just you? Disabled, women, trash?" As for the two men in black who didn't have a high sense of existence, they were directly skipped by Wang Fan.

"Are these the only available characters in the Prince Regent's Mansion? Why doesn't Xie Yan come in person?" Wang Fan said proudly.

It was the first time that Wei Shizi was called a waste, and the veins on Wei Shizi's forehead swelled.

Changing the folding fan in his hand, Wei Shizi gritted his teeth and said with a sneer: "Where is the prince who needs to take action for the defeated general, let's talk about it if you can escape from us. Otherwise... the rumors in the world are that you are not just the prince regent. His subordinates are defeated. They can't even defeat the disabled, women, and trash, tsk tsk..."

Yu Mingqiu frowned, looked up at Wei Changting on the roof, and asked, "Have you finished?"

Wei Shizi touched his nose, feeling a little guilty, "Please, General Yu."

Yu Mingqiu is older than him, stronger in martial arts, higher in official position, and higher in title.

The most important thing is that this time the principal is Yu Mingqiu, who really skipped work from the household department to join in the fun.

Without saying a word, Yu Mingqiu raised his hand and raised the sword in his hand, and swept towards Wang Fan.

As soon as he moved, the others were not idle.

Leng Shuang gestured to the two men in black, and the three of them quickly changed positions, blocking Wang Fan's possible escape direction.
