An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

The top floor of Nuanxiang Pavilion, where you can almost overlook the capital, is particularly expensive and difficult to book. However, because of its pleasant scenery and enough to show off, many dignitaries still go to great lengths to stay here for a night.

"Second brother, the palace is in such a mess, but you can still drink as calmly as a mountain. I admire you." The man by the window was wearing luxurious black clothes, and he teased the man who was half lying and drinking leisurely.

There were only two of them on the huge top floor, which seemed empty. Although the man by the window lowered his voice, the other person could still hear it clearly without the disturbance of other sounds.

"Don't be anxious, fourth brother, we are just here to watch the show, not to quarrel. The most important thing about watching a show is to have fun!" The half-lying man had a smile on his face. He was dressed in black but decorated with gold threads, with dark dragon patterns, and the jade buckle on his waist looked extraordinary from a distance.

The two were the current second prince Yuan Jin and the fourth prince Yuan Yin.

Nuanxiang Pavilion is an industry secretly controlled by the Fourth Prince. There are several rooms on the top floor that are exclusive to the two of them, but tonight the two of them were worried about rumors, so they cleared the top floor directly.

"Second brother, you are really not in a hurry. The palace is full of fog. Even the eunuchs are not allowed to leave the palace these days. We are outside the palace, but the eldest brother is in front of the emperor..."

"Don't say you don't have any ideas?"

Listening to Yuan Yin's words, Yuan Jin stood up with the help of a chair. He drank a lot of wine and was a little unsteady. Yuan Yin was quick and went up to help him.

The two stood by the window, only half of the curtain was pulled up, and they looked into the palace at the same time.

After a while, Yuan Jin smiled calmly and asked, "How many years has Big Brother been the regent?"

"Five years, this year is the sixth year."

Yuan Jin nodded and praised, "You remember it clearly. Yes, six years, six years..."

Then he said, "If Big Brother is still the regent this year, and Father is not in power, then the position of Crown Prince will most likely be Big Brother's."

"Father has not appointed a crown prince for more than 20 years, why is it this year?" Yuan Yin asked in confusion.

"He is afraid that we will ruin his plan!" Yuan Jin's voice is deep, as if he is talking about a trivial matter.

In the firelight, he looked at the deep palace and said helplessly, "Grandpa is the same as our father. The seclusion is just a means for the father to hide from the world. All the savings of more than 20 years are in one battle..."

"Second brother, this... Is it possible that the father is really going to go to war with the Northern Hu?"

"Well, it's almost the same, otherwise the father would not keep Liu Zhiyuan, the fat pig, he is preparing meat for himself!" Nodding lightly, Yuan Jin's voice was light, and he sobered up with the cold wind before continuing to explain.

"When the father was the prince, he was cautious and prudent, and would not do anything risky, and the same is true tonight. If someone makes a small move behind the scenes tonight, the final outcome must be death! For this day, he has waited for more than 20 years, and he will not be soft-hearted!"

Yuan Yin knew what the second brother meant. What other small moves could there be in the deep palace? It's nothing more than that dragon chair, but unfortunately the two of them can only watch.

"Although this is a family matter, the officials..."

"Do you really believe those nerds?" Turning his head and looking at his brother from the same mother in surprise, Yuan Jin's eyes were full of ridicule.

"It's okay for those people to fight for fame and fortune, but if it comes to seizing power, we have to rely on military generals!"

Yuan Yin said indignantly, "Are we just waiting for my eldest brother to sit on that chair, and we will continue to be idle princes for the rest of our lives?"

"Wait until next year, my father won't live long, we still have a chance!"

Yuan Jin stared at the direction of the palace, as if he wanted to see through everything, like a dragon staring at him.

In the red walls of the palace, Master Qin followed closely, but his speed was not slow at all, and he arrived at the gate of Qingxuan Palace in a blink of an eye.

The eunuchs on duty at the gate were already frightened when they saw him approaching, but since the emperor was sitting inside, they dared not stop him.

"Stop!" A eunuch shouted fiercely, but the trembling in his voice made people know that he was scared to death.

Master Qin didn't want to waste time, so he waved his hand lightly, and the flow of true energy lifted up several people. Whether they were dead or alive was not within his consideration.

After no one stopped him, Master Qin walked into Qingxuan Palace. After looking around, he couldn't help but sighed, "No wonder everyone wants to be the emperor."

Walking through the yard, under the light of the lantern, he saw someone sitting under the eaves, with a dense crowd of eunuchs standing behind him. The most conspicuous one was Chen Jing in a bright red official robe.

"You are the old emperor, right? Oh, you don't look like an emperor, but more like a Taoist priest, hahaha."

Yuan Zhuo's face showed no joy or anger, but he just looked up at the person who came, and sneered disdainfully, "What I look like has nothing to do with you, if you want to kill me, come."

"Hehe, you are worthy of the emperor's integrity, the palace keeps people..." As Master Qin said this, the true energy on his body flowed, and he rushed straight towards Yuan Zhuo.

The vast Qi even rolled up a snowflake, as friendly as a gust of wind, but the power made Chen Jing behind Yuan Zhuo secretly gasp and frown.

But he still jumped in front of Yuan Zhuo, using his own Qi to block the aftermath of the Qi for Yuan Zhuo.

"Puff"

Just a wave of Qi made Chen Jing spit blood, his feet were unstable, and he staggered as if he was about to fall down at any time.

"A person who has stepped on the Grandmaster half a foot, overestimating his own ability, really thinks you are Feng Yangou."

As soon as the voice fell, the Qi on Master Qin's body flowed like a waterfall, his clothes moved without wind, and it seemed that a big sun rose above his head. While the Qi was circulating, he rushed towards Yuan Zhuo mercilessly, like a big wave hitting a reef.

For a moment, the courtyard was extremely depressing, and everyone except Yuan Zhuo had been stunned by Master Qin's true energy. Chen Jing only persisted for a moment before losing control of his body and flying towards Yuan Zhuo.

"Your Majesty, get out of here!" Chen Jing knew he couldn't control his body, so he could only suppress the sweetness in his throat and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Seeing Yuan Zhuo motionless, Chen Jing shouted in his heart, "It's over." But then he thought about it, rushing the emperor would mean death, and if the emperor was killed, he would die too. Anyway, it was just death, so he might as well close his eyes and wait for death.

I had mixed emotions in my heart and kept calling for my godfather to save me. Just when he was thinking about his death, he seemed to be being supported by someone.

Just as Chen Jing opened his eyes, a teasing voice came into his ears, "Eunuch Chen, how long do you want the old master to support you? You are bullying the old master, right?"

"Wu Shenxian!" Chen Jing saw the old Taoist priest with white hair and beard at the first sight, and he couldn't help but said in surprise.

Wu Shenxian chuckled and said, "It seems that Eunuch Chen still knows the old Taoist. He thought Eunuch Chen was beaten stupid."

After putting down Chen Jing, the old Taoist priest raised his eyes to look at Master Qin, bowed and said, "Go back, you can't kill the emperor with the old Taoist presence."

"Who are you? Why have I never heard of you?" Mr. Qin was puzzled. In his impression, this person had never appeared in the world before. And in his perception, there is a high probability that this person is also a great master.

"Me? I'm just an old Taoist practicing in Qingxuan Temple."

"Whether you are an old Taoist or an old bald donkey, it will be the same if I kill you and then kill this dog emperor. I don't believe it. You are closer to a saint than Lu Wenyu!"

Master Qin didn't want to talk nonsense, so he shouted angrily and took off into the sky. A big sun slowly rose behind him, followed by a full moon. Looking down at the old Taoist priest, he looked like an immortal bathed in holy light.

"The sun and the moon shine together! I didn't expect that there would be people who could practice the Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror and the Xuantian Treasure Sutra to perfection at the same time. It's a pity that the techniques are incomplete. Otherwise, if you really took that step, there might be a way to become a saint... ..”

"It's such a pity..."

After sighing with emotion, Wu Shenxian raised his hand and raised two fingers. As he raised his fingers, dark clouds rolled in the sky, covering the entire sky. Wu Shenxian's beard and hair were fluttering, and the true energy flowing around his body suddenly jumped into the air, leaving only lingering sounds.

"Eunuch Chen, protect the emperor!"

Wu Shenxian looked at Master Qin from a distance in mid-air. Although he was not as powerful as Master Qin, he was mysterious and unpredictable and had infinite charm.

"Since you refuse to listen to the old Taoist's advice to do good, and even intend to do evil in front of the old Taoist, then don't blame the old Taoist for being merciless!"

"Thunder comes!"
