Judge of the Lamp

In the Yanghuan Palace, Princess Yanghuan sat in the study, silently drinking a glass of newly brewed red poultry wine.

The bright red lips were wet with the bloody wine, and against the backdrop of the white cheeks, they looked even more charming and glamorous.

Ju Liang, the guest of the Grand Ceremony, sighed repeatedly: "It was agreed not to let Xuan Guo's hostages enter the city, why didn't His Highness stop him?"

Princess Yanghuan raised her head and smiled: "There are so many things you agreed to do, how many of them have you done? Yan Huan suddenly arrived outside the city, why didn't you tell me the news before?"

"I really don't know about Yan Huan..."

"You don't know about Yan Huan? That Xuanren named Xu Zhiqiong has a yin and yang master next to him, do you know that?"

"I only heard that Xu Zhiqiong brought a male favorite with him, but I really don't know that this person has cultivation..."

Princess Yanghuan smiled and said: "You don't know anything! What are you still doing?"

Da Dian Ke is Yu Xianguo's top official in charge of diplomacy. All the news about Xu Zhiqiong is collected by Da Dian Ke Ju Liang, and then provided to Princess Yanghuan.

"Your Highness, let's ignore the yin and yang cultivator for now, and think about how to deal with the court tomorrow. I'm afraid that the emperor will change his mind, but let me wait all my hard work in vain."

"How to deal with it tomorrow? What can a person like you do?" Princess Yanghuan shook her head and asked the maid to add another glass of wine. "There is no need to deal with it tomorrow, and the Xuanren will not be able to go to court."

Ju Liang lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness is going to kill that Xuanren tonight?"

"If you don't kill him tonight, how long will you stay? When the emperor sees him, can you still kill him?"

"Since Your Highness has made up his mind, I would like to help His Highness."

Princess Yanghuan looked at Ju Liang with disgust in her eyes.

She doesn't hate stupid people, but she hates people who are stupid and don't know it.

"Dianke, don't talk about helping me, first tell me whether your news is true? You said that Xu Zhiqiong has the cultivation base of the seventh rank of killing Dao. Is this true?"

Ju Liang replied: "Several spies in Xuanguo's capital sent news that the man had a seventh-rank killing practice. I also sent someone to inquire. He is a thousand households in Xuanguo's lamp yamen. It stands to reason that he must You can become a thousand households only if you have a fifth-grade cultivation, but he has a good relationship with the emperor..."

"You don't need to say so much!" Princess Yanghuan interrupted Ju Liang, "You just said what level of cultivation he is?"

Ju Liang went on to say: "Some people said that he was only at the ninth rank last year, but now he is at the eighth rank at most. Some people say that he is a magician who kills the Dao, but now he has a sixth rank. Others say..."

Princess Yanghuan interrupted the big Dianke with another burst of laughter: "Yan Huan once called you Qiuyuan Dianke, you should know that Qiuyuan is a unique ape in Lanqiu, who likes to drag Jill around every day!
Yanhuan really didn't wrong you, Dadianke, what else can you do besides talking about Jill?At your age, can that Jill stand up to such bullshit? "

Ju Liang said with a blushing face, "Princess, then Xu Zhiqiong is really a Dao killer!"

Princess Yanghuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Have you seen what he looks like? He is extremely weak, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a cultivator of killing Tao."

Ju Liang raised his head and said, "Your Highness, Xuanguo's lamp-handling yamen is full of killers."

Yang Huan sneered and said: "Let me spare you a few words, but you are not ashamed to talk endlessly. Even I know that there are Mohists and Yin-Yang cultivators in Xuan Guo's yamen."

"But none of them can be a thousand households. The previous Qianhu in charge of the lantern yamen are all Taoist killers. As for why the Xuanren is weak, I have heard some rumors that his cultivation level has changed."

Yang Huan's expression became a little more serious, and Ju Liang finally provided some useful information: "You mean promotion?"

Ju Liang nodded and said: "I heard that he was on the way and almost died because of his promotion, and he relied on Shanyan to continue his life."

Yang Huan pondered for a moment and said: "If it's really a promotion, it makes sense. If that's the case, don't care about him. As long as you kill the yin-yang practitioners around him, he will surely die, but yin-yang practitioners are hard to deal with. .”

There are almost no yin and yang cultivators in Yu Xianguo, and among Yu Xian's various schools, there is almost no way to restrain the yin and yang way.

Ju Liang said: "Your Highness, it's not necessary to kill the yin-yang cultivator, just wrap him up and kill Xu Zhiqiong."

Yang Huan sighed softly and said, "It's not so easy to entangle a Yin-Yang cultivator, unless his cultivation level is far above him, it's not easy to get close to him."

Ju Liang finally had a chance to express himself: "Princess, I have a subordinate who is not afraid of yin and yang techniques."

Yang Huan asked in surprise, "Your subordinate?"

Ju Liang nodded and said: "As long as His Highness trusts me, if you let him do it tonight, success will be achieved immediately."

Yang Huan took a sip of wine and said, "You're hitting the nail on the head! There's no way I can trust you!"

Ju Liang opened his mouth and closed it after a while: "Princess, I really want to help you!"

Yang Huan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Call that man over, and I'll see what he's capable of."

Ju Liang whispered a few words to the attendant, and the attendant brought the subordinate over after a while.

The man looked to be a man in his fifties, Yang Huan sized him up and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wan Qiusheng."

Upon hearing the name, Yang Huan frowned: "Are you Xuanren?"

Wan Qiusheng nodded.

Yang Huan turned around and asked Ju Liang, "Why did you bring a Xuanman here?"

Ju Liang quickly explained: "This Xuanren is loyal to me, Da Yu, so don't worry, Your Highness."

"How do you know he's loyal?"

Ju Liang didn't know what to say, Wan Qiusheng leaned over and saluted, "Wan was originally an official in Xuanguo, but he gave up a high position and rich salary, and traveled thousands of miles to join Dayu. This sincerity is a lesson for the world."

Yang Huan asked: "What is your official position in Xuanguo?"

"Wan Mou was originally the dean of Wu Che Academy, but because of being suppressed by treacherous people, he was resigned to a idle position."

"Since you have an official status, why do you want to go to Da Yu?"

"Wan has studied hard and cultivated himself, and he really doesn't want to be busy in this life."

"What kind of sect are you, and what rank is your cultivation?"

"Confucianism, five grades."

"Fifth grade cultivation?" Yang Huan re-examined Wan Qiusheng, his eyes were still full of doubts.

Confucianism does restrain Yin and Yang, and Yang Huan also knows this.

However, there are many low-grade Confucian cultivators of the eighth and ninth ranks, few middle-rank cultivators of the sixth and seventh ranks, and fifth-rank cultivators are already ranked high, which is very rare in Daxuan.

Wan Qiusheng saluted again: "Your Highness, don't be suspicious, Wan has taken Xu Zhiqiong's head tonight and dedicated it to His Highness."

"Do you recognize Xu Zhiqiong?"

"Not only did he recognize it, but it was precisely because this little boy was dominating Xuanguo that Wan couldn't bear the humiliation, so he left in anger!"

Yang Huan still couldn't trust him, and ordered someone to call a maid.

"This is Yingzhu, my subordinate, let her go with you, so I can help you."

Seeing that the other party was a woman, Wan Qiusheng's face was somewhat contemptuous.

Thinking that Princess Yanghuan is also a woman, Wan Qiusheng quickly saluted and said, "I would like to listen to Your Highness."

……

At night, Xu Zhiqiong and "Senior Brother Tao" had a hearty meal and wandered around in the huge mansion.

Wherever Xu Zhiqiong and "Senior Brother Tao" went, the five male waiters followed behind, making Xu Zhiqiong feel that he had a special face.

After strolling around for more than an hour, he walked around the entire mansion, "Senior Brother Tao" looked at Xu Zhiqiong affectionately, full of reluctance.

Xu Zhiqiong picked up "Senior Brother Tao" and both entered the bedroom.

Five male servants followed behind, walked into the gate, passed the front hall, entered the back room, and followed the two to the bedside.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the five men and said, "What are you doing here?"

A male waiter blushed and replied in a jerky voice: "We are here to serve Yunhou."

"You serve me here?" Xu Zhiqiong looked at the five men inexplicably, and "Senior Brother Tao" also stared blankly.

Is this a very face-saving thing?

"How do you serve me here? Are you pushing from behind, or shouting from the side!"

The five men were shy and silent.

Xu Zhiqiong waved his hands and said, "You all go back and rest, I can do this alone."

The male servants looked at each other, Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "I told you to go out, but you can't hear me?"

The five male waiters hurriedly resigned, and the last male waiter who left quietly closed the door, and an orchid on his chest fell by the door.

Xu Zhiqiong's ears trembled, and he heard the sound of orchids falling to the ground.

……

In Choushi, Yingzhu brought Wan Qiusheng outside the wall of the Marquis's mansion, walked around the outer wall twice, and saw an orchid planted on the south wall.

She picked off the orchid, and quickly climbed up the high window along the wall.

Wan Qiusheng was taken aback, this woman is very skilled.

Yingzhu easily twisted off the window spirits on the high window one by one without making a sound.

Looking at her strength, Wan Qiusheng felt that he was not as good as him. He thought she was a cultivator of the Dao of Life. From this point of view, she should be cultivating the Dao of Killing, and her cultivation was beyond the seventh rank.

Yingzhu passed the window and led Wan Qiusheng into the mansion quietly. Inside the south wall was the stables, and across the stables were two rows of warehouses.

After passing the warehouse is the bathroom, and after passing the bathroom, the two of them walked to the bedroom.

Wan Qiusheng sighed deeply, this Marquis's mansion is big and complicated, Yuren's house has no yard, if Yingzhu didn't come here with him, he would have lost his way.

There are three rows of bedrooms, Wan Qiusheng didn't know which bedroom Xu Zhiqiong was in, Yingzhu didn't look at each one, and quickly shuttled in the corridor, and soon found an orchid in front of the second row of bedrooms.

She pointed to the door of the bedroom, indicating that Xu Zhiqiong was inside.

After opening the door, Xu Zhiqiong and "Senior Brother Tao" were really sleeping soundly on the bed.

Wan Qiusheng walked straight into the door, and Yingzhu asked him to pay attention to the magic circle in the room.

Wan Qiusheng didn't take it seriously, just after taking two steps, yin and yang energy suddenly surged up and wrapped around Wan Qiusheng's knee.

Yingzhu glared at Wan Qiusheng and blamed him for being too reckless.

Wan Qiusheng smiled, easily deciphered the magic circle with innocent skills, and continued to walk towards the bed curtain.

Yingzhu was quite surprised, and quickly followed behind Wan Qiusheng. Along the way, all the magic circles were easily dispelled by Wan Qiusheng.

When Xu Zhiqiong heard the movement, he sat up suddenly, and "Senior Brother Tao" beside him also got up.

Wan Qiusheng suppressed the two of them with great righteousness, turned around and said to Yingzhu: "Kill them!"

It's that simple?
This person is not afraid of yin and yang at all!

Yingzhu didn't delay, she drew out her dagger and slashed at Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong couldn't dodge in time, and her arm was cut off by her. Wan Qiusheng pulled out his long sword and pierced Xu Zhiqiong's throat with one sword.

He really is getting promoted.

Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong had no strength to resist, Wan Qiusheng took advantage of the situation and chopped off Xu Zhiqiong's head.

The "Senior Brother Tao" next to Xu Zhiqiong tried to use the Yin Yang technique, Wan Qiusheng handed Xu Zhiqiong's head to Yingzhu, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

Yingzhu quickly left the room with her head in her hand, and Wan Qiusheng left with her.

"Senior Brother Tao" didn't pursue him, but this surprised Wan Qiusheng.

Didn't it say that this person has a fifth-grade cultivation?It seems that Princess Yanghuan made a mistake in her judgment.

The two hurried along the long corridor, and when they passed a bedroom, a cold light flashed, a short knife came out from the crack of the door, drew an arc in the air, and stabbed Yingzhu's eyebrow.

Yingzhu struggled to dodge, but Wan Qiusheng couldn't dodge, and the Yuanyang blade made a gash on his shoulder.

The two were shocked and were about to flee when they suddenly heard a low moan coming from the corridor.

"No pardon!"

When the words fell to the ground, Wan Qiusheng's shoulder cracked, and blood gushed out.

"No pardon!"

The wound spread rapidly, and Wan Qiusheng's shoulder blade broke.

"No pardon!"

Yingzhu carried the head of "Xu Zhiqiong" and was still struggling to escape, Wan Qiusheng could not escape.

From the shoulder blades to the ribs, Wan Qiusheng's chest was split open, exposing the internal organs.

Xu Zhiqiong appeared behind him and chopped off Wan Qiusheng's head.

Picking up the head and looking at it for a while, Xu Zhiqiong found that he recognized this person.

Isn't this Dean Wan?
How did he get to Yu Xianguo?
Xu Zhiqiong didn't go after Yingzhu, he took out the hanging bamboo from his sleeve, and tapped it lightly.

Yingzhu still held Xu Zhiqiong's head in her hand.

The human head suddenly opened its eyes, and sprayed a mouthful of venom towards Yingzhu.

Yingzhu's body suddenly went numb, and she fell to the ground.

Relying on her strong physique, Yingzhu struggled a few times and managed to stand up, only to see that Xu Zhiqiong had come up to him, pinned her head, and drained her vitality.

Just relying on these two people, you want to kill me?

Princess Yanghuan, you despise me too much!
