I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 251 Salvation from Xiaojiu

Why is it that while we are chatting about this topic, I am about to start to become enlightened?

Cao An looked at the three people beside him, all of them had expressions that were taken for granted.

Although my surname is Cao, I don't seem to have expressed any rebellious intentions, right? Where did you come to this conclusion?
  "Because your current arrangement is too terrifying." Ying Changfeng on the side also put down his tea bowl and opened up the topic.

"Let me give you a solemn introduction. Tie Mian's father is General Wan of the Bailang Army, and his grandfather is Dean Wan of Nanshan Academy."

hiss~~
  Good guy, he is also a second-generation official!
  No wonder the Bailang Army personally drove the fleet this time and sent Tie Mian over. The three ancestors and grandsons of the Wan family all held important positions.

"But now you say you want to follow me, does your father know?" Cao An looked at him strangely.

Tie Mian nodded: "My father knows, and he asked me to follow you. Emperor Wan Jing, I'm afraid there is no way to save him."

Cao An waved with interest, asked Tiemian to sit down, and told him the details of his defection.

First of all, let’s make it clear that the Wan family is not a foolish and loyal person. They and the Pang family are completely different concepts. This time when someone seizes the demon clan’s holy land, it can be regarded as the Wan family’s last fight for it, and it can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous.

After all, the current Holy Emperor is old and has lost the [Edict], so the change of dynasty is a foregone conclusion.

If the demon tribe's holy land is found and a contract can be made with the red fox, then there may be a chance of survival if it continues for decades. General Wan also took a chance on this situation and finally gave it a go.

But it is a pity that the fleet was not even able to sail to the Holy Land because of the water dragon fish's troubles. Even the red fox completely recovered his physical body.

Emperor Wan Jing's energy was exhausted and he was unable to recover.

"But why do you think I will be the new emperor?" Cao An looked at Tiemian and asked.

Tie Mian said bluntly: "Because with your strength, it's easy to get to the top."

What this person said made Cao An a little funny, but it seemed to be true.

In terms of reputation, he is already at the peak of his powers.

In terms of combat power, the most elite Wild Wolf Army of the Daxing Dynasty can fight for him through life and death.

In terms of background, he only needs to ascend high and make a call, and the Northern Yan and Southern Chu who have received his favor will definitely raise their troops to help.

In addition, he helped Red Fox revive his body and return to the position of queen one day. The entire demon clan is his help.

Isn't it the same as joking to hit Daxing on the verge of collapse?
  Of course, there is the most important point.

Cao An has unparalleled intelligence and is known as the best detective in Daxing. He has always been the only one who plots against others.

As long as he uses a little trick to lead his troops to force the emperor to imprison him in the palace, it will be easy. I am afraid that the coronation ceremony will be held on the same day.

In Tie Mian's eyes, Cao An's plan was aimed at the throne.

"Otherwise, if you control such a powerful force, you can't just want to be a free agent, right?"

"...What if I say that I really want to catch the police?"

Unknowingly, are you already so awesome? Why don't you feel anything at all?
  Well, maybe the goals are different.

He didn't take Emperor Wan Jing seriously at all. His only imaginary enemies were [Ten Eyes] and [Moren Alley].

As for replacing him and ascending to the throne of God, at least for now, he has no plans to do so.

After all, there is a crime-solving system to protect oneself, compared with those who work hard to develop national strength and deal with unruly people.

It is simpler and more direct to achieve immortality and become the number one person in the world by solving crimes directly.

Why worry about one thing and not the other?
  Cao An has been developing his own power just because he has no concept of loyalty to the emperor.

I can earn 1 taels for myself, why should I hand it over to the emperor in exchange for the 10 taels of salary?

Working hard to become stronger is just to deal with more terrifying enemies.

"Okay, there's no need to talk about your plan to make me wear a yellow robe. I'm still young and don't want to be bound by the cage of the throne. Although Emperor Wan Jing is a bit weak, he can still make do, so you can make do with it."

Everyone:...

Several pairs of eyes stared at him. If King An hadn't rebelled, Emperor Wan Jing would not abdicate, and the crown prince would fight for it, they would really believe that the throne was a prison. Are you so dismissive of something that others would kill for life?
  He couldn't understand Cao An's thoughts, but at this moment, Tie Mian had no way out, so he shook his head and replied:

"My father told me that no matter whether you have the intention to become emperor or not, at least I must follow you to determine the successor. Emperor Wan Jing's resignation is a certainty."

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

Tie Mian took out the message in his arms: "The news you received probably didn't mention Emperor Wan Jing's injury, right?"

"Indeed not, the injury is serious?"

"It's not serious. The injured location is the head. It's just a small cut and bleeding."

"That won't have much impact, right?"

"No, the impact is huge, because according to the information received by the Privy Council, the murder weapon was a brick."

"..."

The majestic emperor was hit on the back of his head with a brick?

Daxing is indeed coming to an end.

……

Inside Shangjiang City.

The solemn atmosphere continued to spread, from officials to common people, there was a hint of sadness in the brows.

I don’t know when the rebel offensive will hit the imperial city.

Their emperor was seriously injured after an assassination, and even the long-prepared New Year's Ceremony was canceled because of this.

Sad clouds hang over the entire city.

Of course, there is one place that is lively, and that is Tsing Yi Department.

The door to the outer courtyard was closed, but the inside of the office was filled with joy.

"Master Shuzheng is back. I've met Master Shuzheng! I've met Cao Shuixiu!"

"Haha~ No gifts, no gifts, how are you guys doing? In the new year, everyone should be healthy!"

"Come on, come on, give out happy bags to everyone, be careful, I wish you good luck in wealth."

In order to pacify Nanchu and catch up with the holy ship to sail, Cao An and others left at the end of the year and missed the celebration of the beginning of the new year.

But it doesn't matter, the good omens of the New Year have not passed yet. As soon as I returned to the office, I closed the door and sent my blessings to the brothers.

Cao An even spent a lot of money and stuffed the wedding bag with money. From the tinder red fox to the cute little nine, everyone had a share to get a good chance.

Of course, the cute Xiao Jiu was really shocked this time.

She walked wherever Cao An went, her big eyes full of doubts.

"Is it because I fell asleep? Why, I saw you converted to Buddhism?" Xiao Jiu usually has a world-weary look on his face and doesn't care about anything.

But the fierce Buddha spirit in Cao An was even more majestic than that of Monk Shang Sanyang, and she couldn't tolerate it without being surprised.

Cao An smiled slightly, maybe Xiaojiu saw the [Ksitigarbha Seal] on his body. This is the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha Spirit Son, and it is normal to be sensitive to Ksitigarbha's aura.

It just so happens that his [Ksitigarbha Seal] is only defensive but not offensive, which is quite weird. I have to ask this person for advice.

Thinking like this, Cao An clasped his palms together, and condensed his two arms of Ksitigarbha Dharma behind him. He said proudly to Xiao Jiu: "How is it? This is my newly learned ability. Isn't it very powerful?"

"It's indeed very powerful." Xiao Jiu nodded numbly, and then suddenly pulled out the dagger from his arms.

"Okay! Let me tell you who stole this [Ksitigarbha Seal]. It turned out to be you, and I will save you today!"

Cao An:? ? ?
  　I wish all brothers a happy new year and good luck.
