The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 268 Hint
"Haha, it seems that Wang Zhengde has directly pissed off Wan Zhenhai. This guy is really good at causing trouble instead of helping others."

In a mansion in the east of Jianye City, Fang Xun, who had returned earlier, heard the roar from the palace and sneered.

Yu Jiaolong, who was standing by, looked confused and had no idea what was going on, but asked with a worried look on her face.

"Your attempt failed this time. The emperor's uncle will definitely increase his vigilance. It won't be so easy to take action next time."

"Yes, Fang Xun, that Wang guy is really hateful. If he misses this great opportunity, it will be difficult for him to take action later. Wan Zhenhai will definitely keep a close eye on Wan Zhaohua."

At this time, Old Man Mo's voice came from far away and got closer. When the voice fell, he had already come into the room with an extremely ugly expression.

Seeing that Fang Xun was about to succeed and facing the threat to his life, Wan Zhaohua was bound to expose his martial arts skills no matter how deeply he hid.

But no one expected that Wang Zhengde had been lurking in the palace early in the morning, secretly protecting Wan Zhaohua. Even Wan Zhenhai didn't know that he was in the palace.

"This sour scholar is really hateful. In order to protect Wan Zhaohua's succession to the throne, he even lost his dignity!"

However, there was no worry on Fang Xun's face. Instead, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Old Man Mo enter the room, and asked curiously.

"How come you got away so early and didn't fight with Wan Zhenhai?"

Old Man Mo was also stunned for a moment: "No, I just left like that, and he didn't try to stop me. He also said that after the five-day ceremony, even if you spend a lot of money to hire a killer from Wujiantang, you won't succeed!"

Fang Xun's eyes lit up immediately: "Did he really say that?"

Yu Jiaolong still looked confused, not knowing what the two were talking about, but Old Man Mo realized something and his eyes lit up.

"You mean his attitude?"

Before, he just thought that the plan failed and didn't think much about it. It was only after Fang Xun asked this question that he realized it.

At this time, Fang Xun immediately said: "Wan Zhenhai's attitude is wrong. He is deliberately reminding me to hire assassins from Wu Jian Tang to take action!"

Yu Jiaolong's face changed and she immediately said, "How is that possible? Even if the emperor's uncle suspected my second brother, he wouldn't instigate you to hire a killer to kill him!"

Old Man Mo also shook his head and said, "Yes, after all, without evidence, this kind of thing that breaks the rules is very taboo.

If the assassins of Wu Jian Tang really kill Wan Zhaohua, no matter what the reason is, you, the employer, will definitely be hunted down by the imperial court with all your strength!"

Although Fang Xun is now on the Green Forest List, even if he walks out on the street openly, the local authorities will just pretend not to see him.

The main reason was that his previous record was too impressive, and the bonuses and bounties on the Green Forest List were obviously not worthy of his strength, so no one would be so stubborn as to insist on fighting Fang Xun.

But if an assassin is hired to kill Wan Zhaohua, the 'quasi-King of Yue', then the nature of the matter will be different. At that time, the imperial court will definitely make great efforts to hunt him down and fight to the death!

"Don't worry, I'm not that unwise," Fang Xun said with a smile, "Old man, tell me the whole conversation between you and him!"

After hearing this, Old Man Mo immediately told him everything that happened after the two met in detail, and finally asked in confusion.

"So what do you mean by Wan Zhenhai?"

After hearing this, Fang Xun's eyes flashed with realization, and he sneered, "Haha, it's just that he is also unhappy with Wang Zhengde. He didn't mean for me to hire a killer to assassinate Wan Zhaohua, but Wang Zhengde!
Wan Zhenhai reminded me that there is still the power of Wujiantang that can be used. As long as the money is enough, they dare to assassinate the masters of the Heavenly Ranking!" Before, he and Old Man Mo sneaked into the palace, but they did not completely hide their aura, which allowed Wan Zhenhai to feel it, which was considered a greeting to the other party.

But no one knew how long Wang Zhengde had been lurking in the palace. When he made his first move, Wan Zhenhai must have been in a very bad mood.

A powerful Yang Shen realm expert, no matter what his original intention was, has been lurking quietly in his home. No one would be in a good mood.

Old Man Mo's face was filled with doubt and uncertainty, while Yu Jiaolong also said in shock: "So the emperor's uncle wants Wang Zhengde to die, but it's not that serious!"

The two of them reacted instantly and realized that it was not convenient for Wan Zhenhai to do such a thing, so they reminded Fang Xun to go to Wujiantang to place an order.

As long as Wujiantang accepts the order, regardless of whether they can kill Wang Zhengde or not, at least this guy will not have time to cause trouble for them.

But Wan Zhenhai wouldn't want to kill Wang Zhengde, right?

But Fang Xun shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, it may be related to some struggles in the court of Shuntian Prefecture.

I don't know the situation there, but it doesn't matter, let's go to Wujiantang to place an order first, so that their Yangshen killers won't be able to reach Jianye City in five days."

Yu Jiaolong concentrated and said, "You mean, we should wait until the grand ceremony in five days before we take action?"

Fang Xun nodded: "This is what your uncle meant. His identity makes it inconvenient for him to do some things, so he used us to test Wan Zhaohua. There may be other reasons, but this did not prevent us from taking action at that time!"

Old Man Mo asked worriedly, "What if a master from the Black Water Abyss appears?"

Fang Xun shook his head and said, "Don't worry about that. Black Water Abyss will not interfere with the ceremony. Their goal is for Wan Zhaohua to inherit the throne. If they really dare to take action, Wan Zhaohua's throne will be in jeopardy."

The three of them discussed for a while, and then Old Man Mo and Fang Xun went out to place an order with Wujiantang.

At least a Yangshen killer must be hired, and the cost will be temporarily paid by Old Man Mo. This will be a big loss for him, but Yu Jiaolong can reimburse it.

Of course, the prerequisite for her to be reimbursed is that she needs to be cleared of her grievances and ascend the throne!
Fang Xun had calmed down, but there was chaos in Jianye City.

The news of Wan Zhaohua's assassination spread throughout Jianye City within an hour, and people were talking about it in the streets and alleys.

Then teams of soldiers were seen patrolling the streets, searching for the assassin.

Although Wan Zhenhai knew everything, he had to pretend, otherwise it would be too strange that there was no reaction at all when Wan Zhaohua was assassinated.

The other parties in the city were unaware of the inside story. While they were surprised that someone had assassinated Wan Zhaohua, they were also wondering what conflict there was between Wan Zhenhai and Wang Zhengde and why they told each other to get out.

As time passed, by the next day, many people learned about what happened that night, and they were suddenly aware of Wang Zhengde's behavior of lurking in the palace. No wonder Wan Zhenhai was so angry at that time.

Then another three days passed, and every day there were warriors from other places coming to Jianye. Most of them were from various martial arts sects in the Jiangnan region who came to watch the succession ceremony.

Time passed unknowingly and it was December 23rd, the day of the succession ceremony.

Jianye City is full of joy, but there are undercurrents.
