Chapter 252: The Murderous Intention of the Attack
"Your Majesty."
When Tianxuan returned to the mansion, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Just like the Tianxuan Temple in Xianyang, in the Xuanyuan Hall where the statues of Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones are enshrined, two women, Zi Nu and Shao Siming, who have identical light purple hair, one mature and beautiful, and the other ethereal and fairy-like, are waiting for him. Seeing Tianxuan staggering into the hall, the two women's expressions changed slightly, and there was worry in their eyes.
Zi Nu quickly stepped forward, supported Tian Xuan, and said.
"Even if today is New Year's Eve, there is no need to drink so much?"
While Zi Nu was speaking, Shao Siming, who never spoke, considerately poured a cup of tea for Tian Xuan and handed it to him.
Gulu!
Tianxuan drank the cold tea in one gulp, and secretly practiced his skills to dispel the drunkenness lingering in his mind. The profound skills that had reached the fourth realm of martial arts: Huiyang realm, only circulated a small cycle in Tianxuan's body, and Tianxuan's drunkenness was completely dispelled. In a moment, although Tianxuan still had a strong smell of alcohol around him, he was full of energy.
"I'm happy." Tianxuan, who had regained consciousness, looked down at his arm that was held in Zinu's arms. Without Zinu realizing it, Tianxuan's arm had made intimate contact with her snowy peak, bringing a warm touch. However, facing this blessing that was offered to him, Tianxuan would not remind Zinu.
Amidst these words with some pride, Tianxuan's expression changed, from pride to solemnity.
"Besides, it won't be so easy to be so happy in the days ahead."
"What do you mean?" Hearing Tianxuan's words, Zi Nu's face became anxious and she asked subconsciously. She had never noticed that as her mood changed, her sexy and charming body had been completely pressed against Tianxuan's, almost throwing herself into his arms. Facing Zi Nu who was almost nestled in his arms, Tian Xuan, who had been guarding Yuan Yang for more than ten years, still had a look of ecstasy on his handsome face, even though he was quite cunning.
"what!"
Seeing Tianxuan's expression, Zi Nu finally reacted. With a sharp cry, this extraordinary woman, whose status beside Tianxuan was similar to that of a maid or a concubine, but who treated him with respect, shook off Tianxuan's arm like lightning, cursing:
"Little pervert!"
"Wrong!" Tianxuan looked at Zi Nu who was several feet away from him, waved his finger and corrected, "I'm not a little pervert, I'm a big pervert!"
Brush and pull!
After hearing what Tianxuan said, Zi Nu and Shao Siming remembered that Tianxuan was already a 17-year-old boy. If he were in the common people, he would probably be a father. The two girls blushed at the same time.
"Why did I say that it won't be so easy to be so happy in the days ahead?" Tian Xuan stopped when he saw that things were going well, and did not continue to tease Zi Nu and Shao Siming. He chewed over what he had said, "The reason is very simple! Within the empire, I am the eldest son Fusu's man."
“The Qin Dynasty has unified the world. Although the Western Qiang, Northern Rong, and Southern Yue each occupy their own territories, they are not enough to pose a threat to the empire. Your Majesty is pursuing immortality, but whether immortality can be achieved depends entirely on God’s will.” Before he could finish his words, Tianxuan glanced at Xiaoyi, a purple-haired girl who was once a disciple of the Tian Sect and is now an elder of the Yin-Yang School’s Mu Division - Shao Siming - with a thoughtful look.
"Inside the empire, the fight for the crown prince position has already begun. Among the many descendants of the First Emperor, the eldest son has the potential to be the most powerful." Tianxuan sat on a royal chair, tapping the armrests with his fingers. "In order to compete for the crown prince position, those sons who are unwilling to be lonely will definitely clip the eldest son's wings first."
"Not to mention, I also sent a large sum of wealth back. In the eyes of some people, since the trade route has been opened, such an important source of wealth should be in their own hands!"
At the end, Tianxuan's face was full of sarcasm and disdain.
In the memories of the past life, the mottled history books have never lacked the kind of useless people who are incompetent but hostile to those who are truly capable! Or to put it more appropriately, idiots who are "amateurs in foreign wars but experts in civil wars"! In the past two years, although Tianxuan has been away from Guanzhong, his connection with the imperial court has not been cut off. It is already known that the eighteenth son Hu Hai worshipped Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Chariot House, as his teacher to learn criminal law, and in addition to Hu Hai's mother: Madam Mingzhu. Tianxuan can guess even with his toes that after his tribute is sent back, Zhao Gao and Madam Mingzhu will definitely start to deal with him!
[You want to deal with me, but can't I deal with you? This move is called luring the snake out of the hole and catching the turtle in the jar! ]
As his thoughts turned, Tianxuan had this thought.
Brush and pull!
Although Zi Nu and Shao Siming were smart, they could not compare with Tian Xuan, who had lived two lives as a human. After hearing what Tian Xuan said, Zi Nu and Shao Siming changed color at the same time, with horror between their brows.
After a while, Zi Nu said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that someone wants to pick peaches?"
Tianxuan nodded slightly, "Not bad."
"Then, you also sent a large sum of wealth back?" Shao Siming was confused by Tianxuan, her beautiful eyes fixed, conveying this sentence with her eyes.
Tianxuan smiled confidently, "Because, this is exactly what I want to see."
Snapped!
After he finished speaking, Tianxuan clapped his hands suddenly, making a crisp sound.
"Your Majesty."
Following Tianxuan's applause, several pretty maids appeared outside the Xuanyuan Hall like ghosts, with their heads lowered, waiting for Tianxuan's orders.
"Prepare the four treasures of the study." Tianxuan ordered.
Swish!
The four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, were brought up. Tianxuan filled the brush with ink and wrote on the blank letter paper, making a crisp sound. Soon, a letter covered with ink was finished. After finishing the letter, Tianxuan did not put down the brush in his hand, but took another blank letter paper and continued to write on it.
After finishing the two letters, Tianxuan took out a seal made of black jade from his bosom and stamped it on them. Then, he took a blank envelope, sealed it, and wrote the name of the recipient.
"Somebody come!"
Holding two letters with wet ink in his hands, Tianxuan's expression froze and he shouted.
call out!call out!
Several dark figures suddenly appeared outside the Xuanyuan Palace. Each of them wore night clothes and masks shaped like eagles, falcons, and other birds of prey. They were restrained and silent, just like the name of the organization: Night Owls. They were birds of prey lurking in the endless darkness, and could tear through the seemingly quiet darkness at any time and launch a fierce attack on the enemy.
"Deliver these two letters to the target within ten days."
Yexiao has been with Tianxuan for several years. Although the members are still mainly remnants of the former Yemu, thanks to Tianxuan's continuous funding of Yexiao, Yexiao has absorbed many outside members. Because every member of Yexiao has received a guarantee from Tianxuan when they join, as long as they work for him for five years, after five years, if they can guarantee not to say anything they shouldn't say, they can leave with the rewards of these years. Some people really did this after working for Tianxuan for five years, and successfully gained the long-lost freedom.
Most of the Night Owl members have already pledged their loyalty to Tianxuan and are willing to let him command them.
