Chapter 3522 Chapter 3524 [The real culprit behind the scenes]
Xiang Nan and Sun Xiaohong then came to Jingzhao Mansion and found Mr. Fang to arrest him.
"Li Tanhua found the official, do you have any orders?" Mr. Fang asked, grabbing his head and cupping his hands.
“I don’t dare to tell you, I just want to ask Mr. Fang a question.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Li Tanhua, please ask, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to answer." Mr. Fang said, having laid an ambush in advance.
"I would like to ask Mr. Fang, who ordered you to come to the inn to find me?" Xiang Nan asked directly without any nonsense.
"This person can't say..." Mr. Fang refused, but then he kept looking at him and quickly changed his words, "It's Mr. Ma from Prince Yun's Mansion."
Xiang Nan nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for arresting me. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he left with Sun Xiaohong.
At this time, Mr. Fang also woke up and shook his head in confusion.
He clearly didn’t tell Xiang Nan anything, so why should he thank himself? !
“Brother, it turns out that King Yun is the real culprit behind the scenes.” Sun Xiaohong said.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Behind the disappearance of the consort and the theft of treasury money is a conspiracy to usurp the throne. And the usurpers in the past dynasties were either royal relatives or powerful officials.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the prime minister has been abolished. Several cabinet ministers have restrained each other, so there is no powerful minister in power in the court. On the first day of Emperor Jingtai's restoration, all the dignified Yu Shaobao's families were confiscated and exterminated.
So in the Ming Dynasty, only royal relatives were qualified to usurp the throne. There are two princes in the current dynasty, one is King Fu and the other is King Yun.
King Fu is the eldest brother of the emperor. He is already fifty years old. He is passionate about Buddhism and meditates all day long. King Yun is the emperor's younger brother. He is only in his thirties this year. He is still young and ambitious.
Hence, he had the qualifications and motivation to usurp the throne, and he also took action. Two and a half million taels of silver, my mother-in-law, three thousand feet white hair and a group of martial arts masters...
Moreover, he imprisoned the consort Jin Ziguang and used his life as a threat. The Queen Mother might support his attempt to usurp the throne.
Because the current emperor was not born to the Queen Mother, but Princess De'an was the Queen Mother's biological daughter. For the sake of her daughter's happiness, the Queen Mother might have to give in. "
“Oh my god, that’s what it is.” After hearing this, Sun Xiaohong said in surprise, “That’s so cruel. He would do such a thing for the sake of power.”
"Palace disputes don't care about human relations." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, he had really seen too many similar things.
For power and the throne, let alone half-brothers, even biological father and son are still ruthless.
“Then Brother, this matter has become such a big deal now, should we continue to participate?” Sun Xiaohong asked.
"I have promised the Queen Mother before that I will definitely find the Prince Consort, and he will be seen alive and his body will be seen dead." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "No matter what, I will definitely fulfill this trust.
But Xiaohong, this matter has nothing to do with you. While there is still some room left, you and Senior Sun should leave and avoid the disaster. "
"Brother, what are you talking about? I have already made up my mind to live and die with you." Sun Xiaohong firmly refused.
"Silly girl, why are you doing this? How can I, Li Xunhuan, be worthy of your sacrifice?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.
"Stop talking, brother, in short, I am willing." Sun Xiaohong insisted, which made Xiang Nan very touched for a moment. He couldn't help but hug her tightly in his arms, and then kissed her lovingly.
…
He immediately became energetic, pushed Sun Xiaohong away, and instantly used the magical power of Tianyi to defend. The speed of this sword is extremely fast. In Xiang Nan's opinion, it is even far faster than Ah Fei three years ago, and even higher than Shangguan Fei. In terms of the swiftness of his swordsmanship, he is undoubtedly the best in the world.
Moreover, his sword is not only fast, but also hard and accurate. It pierces the heart and kills with one sword. It is really extraordinary.
It's just that although his sword was fast, ruthless and accurate, it was still defended by Xiang Nan.
Hearing a clang sound, the sharp sword pierced Xiang Nan's body, as if it were pierced on gold and iron. Although it pierced his clothes, it did not penetrate his body.
While guarding the sword, Xiang Nan also saw the appearance of the swordsman.
They saw him dressed in black, with a bamboo hat on his head, and black gauze hanging around the bamboo hat, completely covering his appearance. His whole body was filled with an evil aura and aura of death, like a seductress coming from hell.
Xiang Nan recognized him at a glance as the ghost who had disappeared in the world for twenty years. This person's original ghost shadow swordsmanship was once unique in the martial arts world and was terrifying.
However, he was superstitious about nourishing the sword with the blood of masters, and killed innocent people indiscriminately, reaching the level of crazy bloodlust. Therefore, he became notorious in the world, aroused public outrage, and was eventually surrounded and suppressed by all the sects.
Some said he had been executed, some said he jumped off the cliff, some said he accepted the enlightenment of the eminent monk, put down the butcher knife, and retired from hiding... But I didn’t expect to see him here now.
Seeing that Xiang Nan was blocking his killing sword, Gui Ying'er couldn't help being shocked, and immediately raised his sword and stabbed again.
At this moment, Xiang Nan poked out with a finger.
An extremely powerful finger force shot out into the air. Before he even got close, he could already smell a rush of anxiety in the air, which showed the power of this finger force.
Gui Ying'er immediately blocked with his sword horizontally.
With a few crisp sounds, the sword made of fine iron in his hand broke into several pieces.
Ghost Ying'er was shocked and immediately flew away.
His movements were very fast, just like a ghost, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Although Xiang Nan had a hundred ways to keep him, he did not take any action.
Because he knew that Gui Ying'er was the husband of Ji Ming's mother-in-law, and Ji Ming's mother-in-law was Sun Baifa's sister and Sun Xiaohong's aunt.
For Sun Xiaohong’s sake, he would also spare Guiying’er’s life.
…
“Brother, are you okay?” Sun Xiaohong asked with concern,
"I'm fine, it's just that my clothes were punctured." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.
He is proficient in the body-protecting skills such as the Turtle Shell Magic Skill, the Vajra Indestructible Body Magic Skill, Wuji Gangqi, the Iron Chewing Technique, and the Heavenly Clothes Magic Skill. He will not be easily injured.
Although Gui Ying'er's swordsmanship was evil, ruthless, fast, and accurate, it still couldn't break his defense.
"That's good." Sun Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, and then said doubtfully, "Brother, that man's swordsmanship is so fast and ruthless, but it's not like Shangguan Fei's and Jing Wuming's swordsmanship. who?"
There are many people who use sharp swords in the world, but the most famous ones are A Fei, Jing Wuming, Shangguan Fei and others. But Ah Fei didn't know how to assassinate Xiang Nan, and neither did Jing Wuming or Shangguan Fei, so she was very confused about the swordsman's identity.
"As far as I know, twenty years ago, there was an evil swordsman named Gui Ying'er. He was very good at swordsmanship and was unique in the martial arts world. But because of his bloodthirsty, he was surrounded and suppressed by the righteous, and finally disappeared. Look at this man's sword skills. It's so fast and so cruel, it's a bit like a ghost that has disappeared for a long time."
“King Yun is really ambitious, he actually found so many ghosts and monsters.” Sun Xiaohong was surprised when she heard this.
