Chapter 28 Opportunity Arrives! Eunuch Wei's Mishap!
What?
They came to the Imperial Stables to kill people, to kill horses?
Seeing the Third Prince's fierce expression, Chen Fan whispered a reminder:
"Reporting to the Third Prince... I'm afraid I cannot give you this man and horse!"
"Hmm?" The Third Prince was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
"Eunuch Chen, do you also look down on me?"
Chen Fan gave a bitter smile.
Thinking that the Third Prince had been imprisoned for more than ten years, he was probably psychologically twisted.
Feeling embarrassed to expose him, he could only offer a friendly reminder:
"Replying to the Third Prince... the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs has regulations... the life and death of horses and people in the Imperial Stables must be decided by His Majesty himself. It is not that this old servant is making things difficult for Your Highness..."
"Hmph!" The Third Prince interrupted his anger, pointing at Chen Fan's nose and cursing:
"You dog of a servant! You dare use the Emperor to intimidate me? Believe me or not, I'll kill you!"
"This servant dares not!" Chen Fan lowered his head.
Seeing that the Third Prince seemed to have lost his mind, he no longer intended to persuade him.
As for the other party wanting to kill him, he had no choice but to take action.
"Hmph! Nothing's going right, let's go!" In the end, the Third Prince didn't dare to actually kill anyone, and he stormed off, seething with anger.
Watching the departing figure, Chen Fan, who had been squinting, smiled.
He's done quite a bit over the years using the Directorate of Ceremonial to suppress these princes and princesses.
Unless these important people are fools, they wouldn't be so stupid as to cause trouble here.
Chen Fan smiled, relieved to have escaped another disaster, and turned to go back into the house.
……
He cultivated until 3:45 PM.
Chen Fan was suddenly awakened.
It was a powerful surge of energy that interrupted his cultivation.
"They're fighting from the day after tomorrow... no! At least they're fighting from birth..."
Chen Fan, his eyes gleaming, swallowed hard and immediately got up and walked out of the Imperial Stables.
He moved swiftly through the shadows of the palace walls, as elusive as a ghost.
Along the way, Chen Fan encountered several squads of Imperial Guards rushing towards the Martial Arts Pavilion, but he remained undetected thanks to his stealth technique.
He only stopped quietly after he reached the roof of a palace near the Martial Arts Pavilion.
Looking ahead, the courtyard of the Sutra Repository was filled with Imperial Guards and eunuchs from the Eastern Depot.
Within the layers of iron guards surrounding them, two familiar figures came into view.
One of them was the dwarf boy with a big head, and Eunuch Wei.
The two fought so fiercely that the palace walls collapsed and tiles from the eaves shattered all over the ground.
That huge surge of power just now came from the two of them!
"You neutered dog...you're not so great either...so what if you're born with it? I'm not afraid of you!"
"You're courting death! You dare to spout such nonsense even when you're about to die!"
During the fight, Eunuch Wei and the Big-Headed Boy shouted angrily.
In just a few rounds, the two fought their way out of the Sutra Repository.
Upon seeing this, the Imperial Guards and eunuchs from the Eastern Depot who had surrounded the area immediately gave chase in the direction of the fight!
The time has come!
Chen Fan, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this scene and a glint of light appeared in his eyes!
You must know that Eunuch Wei has already broken through to the Innate Realm, and with his current strength, he is absolutely no match for him.
So Chen Fan kept waiting.
One day, an assassin will come and fight Wei Gonggong, preferably in a way that results in both sides being severely injured.
That way he can reap the benefits without lifting a finger!
In this situation.
Chen Fan had been waiting for almost a month!
Fortunately, his perseverance paid off, and he finally caught up with the assassin.
Looking in the direction where Eunuch Wei and the Big-Headed Boy had left, Chen Fan also slipped into the shadows and crept off in that direction!
……
They relentlessly pursued them.
Big-Headed Boy was gradually losing ground.
Looking at the old eunuch Wei Zhong, whose breathing was still weak and labored, he suddenly stopped after retreating to a corner.
"You damned eunuch... Changchun Gong clearly can't break through to the Innate Realm... How did you manage to do that?!"
When Wei Gonggong, who was following behind, heard the question, his eyes were full of indifference.
He, who was fighting the big-headed boy with his bare hands and was being forced to retreat, said in an icy voice:
"The dead have no right to know..."
"Arrogant!" the big-headed boy gritted his teeth and said.
"If not... fine! You castrated dog, I won't stoop to your level, but I'll kill you next time we meet!"
After saying that, Big-Headed Boy leaped into the air and prepared to run away.
But as soon as he started to move, he felt a pulling force coming from all around him.
The big-headed boy, who couldn't avoid it, was stunned and instantly fell heavily to the ground.
"This is... a tactic employed by the Changchun Sect?"
Wei Gonggong, who had already arrived, smiled contemptuously.
He raised his hand and slashed out with a claw, shouting sharply:
"We've used quite a few methods to kill you, so die!"
"Want to kill me? Not so easy!" The big-headed boy said with a venomous glint in his eyes.
"You castrated dog! I'll make you wish you were dead! Heh heh..."
boom!
The instant Wei Gonggong grabbed the big-headed boy's head with his right hand, a plume of black smoke rose from his forehead.
"This is... Corpse Poison!"
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Wei instinctively tried to stop, but the black smoke had already entered his body.
Enraged, he gritted his teeth and smashed the big-headed boy's head in one fell swoop!
White and yellow rotting flesh lay scattered on the ground, and a stench of decay filled the air.
"A puppet corpse..." Upon closer inspection, Eunuch Wei realized that the body of the Big-Headed Boy was not the real one.
Feeling a lingering fear, he gritted his teeth, then turned and sped off towards the Martial Arts Pavilion!
Upon seeing this, the Imperial Guards and eunuchs from the Eastern Depot quickly made way for them.
Wei Gonggong's face was deathly pale.
He was afflicted with the Yin Corpse Poison and his vital energy was weak and feeble.
In his haste to return to the training pavilion to find the antidote, he was completely unaware that there was someone in the shadows on his right.
The moment Eunuch Wei passed by, a cold glint appeared!
"And there are assassins..."
This startled him, and his expression changed drastically!
A flash of silver light appeared, and then a violent sword aura roared out!
With no way to avoid it, Eunuch Wei stamped his foot and subconsciously tried to step aside.
Suddenly, a handful of lime was thrown out from the darkness.
"Despicable! Who are you...we'll kill you!"
The humiliated eunuch, Wei, went blind instantly!
Enraged, he let out a piercing scream that tore through the night sky!
Upon seeing this, the Imperial Guards and eunuchs from the Eastern Depot all turned around and rushed over!
The one who made the move from the shadows was none other than Chen Fan.
Seeing Wei Gonggong, whose breath was waning and who was covering his eyes and making random moves, he smiled!
Without his notice, he raised his hand and slapped him.
boom.
With his strength severely diminished, Eunuch Wei felt a blur before his eyes, then fainted and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Fan took out the golden bowl, and with a thought, put the person into the bowl.
He took less than three breaths to complete the entire process, then turned and disappeared into the night...
……
the next morning.
The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).
Chen Fan awoke from his cultivation.
As if nothing had happened, he got up as usual to feed the horses.
After feeding the horse, Chen Fan went to the kitchen.
"Godfather, something terrible has happened..."
As soon as they entered the room, Xiaodengzi, who had already woken up, exclaimed in alarm:
"Assassins attacked the palace again last night... After Eunuch Wei killed one assassin, he was ambushed by others, and their whereabouts are now unknown..."
Chen Fan, squinting, nodded.
He, who habitually sat in front of the stove, said in a deep voice:
"Assassins are getting more and more rampant... Even Eunuch Wei has met with misfortune?"
