After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1380: Carefully Planned Timing

King Yao would feel remiss if he didn't punish him severely.

"Qingyang gave you the account book to force you to express your opinion. If you remain indifferent, she might reveal this matter at my birthday ceremony during this trip to Tianshui City." By then, King Yao would be embarrassed along with Xue Zongwu.

"Besides, are you sure that Qingyang has only found this weakness of yours?"

Xue Zongwu had a gloomy face and said nothing.

The Frost Creek account book is just a small matter. If Qingyang only got this piece of evidence, he wouldn't be bothered at all.

But, would Qingyang be so gentle? The fear is that Shuangxi is just the tip of the iceberg she is preparing to attack!
Qi Yunsheng also sighed, "How can you be sure that she hasn't collected other evidence and is waiting to kill you? One of her most capable confidants, He Yang, also appeared in Mangzhou three days ago. I sent someone to follow him, but he quickly got rid of him."

He Yang? Xue Zongwu knew what he meant:
The lost account book might have been sent in by this man named He.

Besides, what else did He Yang do in Mangzhou? This place is also full of powerful people. Is there anyone Qingyang is targeting among them?
Qi Yunsheng continued, "If she wants to intimidate the court, she must establish her authority by establishing a person who is no longer an insignificant figure like Huang Liushou, but..."

Before he could finish his words, Xue Zongwu's face turned gloomy.

No one will be happy if they are made into a target or a chicken to be killed to scare the monkeys.

"So, what do I do?"

Qi Yunsheng was about to speak when there was a sudden knocking sound outside the door.

"master?"

They both recognized that it was Butler Yu's voice.

The head butler is fully responsible for preparing the banquet tonight, and everyone is very busy. As the second butler in the mansion, Butler Yu has to temporarily take over many daily tasks.

As a junior, Xue Zongwu stood up and opened the door. He saw two guards standing at the door. Butler Yu stood between them and saluted him: "Sir."

Qi Yunsheng was a little unhappy and asked in the study: "What's the matter?"

"The old lady has returned to Fanghua Hall. She said she is not feeling well. Please come over."

Qi Yunsheng is 62 years old this year. His mother is still alive and just celebrated her 80th birthday last year. The old lady is in good health and used to like this kind of lively scene the most, but in the past six months, she has changed her normal behavior and doesn't like to see outsiders.

Qi Yunsheng immediately stood up and said to Xue Zongwu: "Wait here for a while, I'll be back soon."

He has superb medical skills and doesn't need help from others when treating patients.

Xue Zongwu also stood up: "I will go to visit the old lady with my father-in-law."

"Please wait here, I'll be back soon." Qi Yunsheng knew that his mother was not ill, she was just having a bad temper. How could he let his son-in-law go with her and watch her?

Xue Zongwu mentioned this only out of courtesy and of course he would not insist on it.

Qi Yunsheng walked out of the study, and Butler Yu lowered his head slightly and followed closely behind him.

Xue Zongwu could still hear their conversation floating over from the garden: "What happened to the old lady?"

"The old lady said she felt dizzy and breathless, and had difficulty breathing..."

Xue Zongwu paced in the study for a few steps and felt that Butler Yu was a little dull and not as attentive as usual.

However, the state of living people is always good and bad, and their emotions are always ups and downs. Who knows what Butler Yu has encountered in the past few days, and Xue Zongwu is too lazy to think about it.

The heavy footsteps of Steward Yu had not completely disappeared, Qi Yunsheng had not walked out of the garden, but Xue Zongwu could not wait to flip through the account book on the table.

Was this account book really sent by Qingyang? If Qingyang threatened him, how would he respond?
Do you want to be hypocritical?

Or compromise with Qingyang Limited?
Xue Zongwu was undecided.

He has held great power and has been doing well in recent years, but his opponent is Qingyang, the old witch who has been calling the shots in Beiga for nearly three decades!
If the evidence Qingyang had was just a little bit of corruption in the national account, King Yao would not really do anything to him even though he would be unhappy.

But looking at the officials Qingyang had reported before, if he didn't take action, it would be fine. But once he did, he would strike with precision and attack the enemy's vital points, and according to the law and punishment, they could all be judged as major cases and serious crimes.

Xue Zongwu himself had no idea what he had done, but he was a little worried that Qingyang would remember it more clearly than he did.

There is only one kind of person who is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and he is not one of them.

How to do?
He Yang recently appeared in Mangzhou. In addition to secretly delivering the account books, is he also here to collect evidence from the Qi family? Everyone in the know understands that if Xue Zongwu is the main trunk, his roots are in the Qi family!
He could smell something ominous approaching.

……

But Xue Zongwu did not notice that his 200 elite soldiers were left outside Xiaotao Villa.

The deputy general and personal guards were also left outside the Yangxin Hall.

A few breaths ago, even my father-in-law Qi Yunsheng left.

He Lingchuan's careful planning peeled off the guards around him layer by layer like peeling an onion. Now, Xue Zongwu was the only one left in the hall!

And as soon as Qi Yunsheng left, he immediately turned back and touched the account book on the table.

Xue Zongwu was so confused that he didn't even realize that his back was to the window.

The lattice windows of the Yangxin Hall were wide open, fragile and beautiful.

It started to rain again, as fine as freshly sifted flour.

This was the opportunity that He Lingchuan had carefully planned.

The timing and place are just right.

He Lingchuan, hiding in the dark, held his breath, his body as still as a stone, but his energy, spirit and vitality had accumulated to the best state.

To kill Xue Zongwu on the opponent's territory, you must be quick, steady, accurate and ruthless!

The first strike is crucial.

He Lingchuan gathered strength with his feet and was about to break into the room through the window; his right hand grabbed in the air, with the Floating Life Sword at the ready, and he was full of energy.

Just waiting for a shocking blow!
But at this moment——

……

Xue Zongwu had just turned to the red-lined part of the account book when there was a deafening noise outside:
Boom!

Enemy attack? He subconsciously grabbed his weapon, took two steps back, and when he looked up, he saw flames rising to the sky in the west.

exploded!
And it's not small.

This is Qiyunsheng's villa. It's filled with guests and a grand banquet is being held. How could such an accident happen?

After the fire, thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.

There was a lot of noise, and it looked like it could cause considerable damage.

Needless to say, there was an immediate commotion in the villa. Even from such a distance, Xue Zongwu could still hear screams and footsteps coming from far and near, and someone was shouting, "Go, send someone quickly..."

Xue Zongwu's guards were waiting in the garden. Upon hearing the voice, they ran over quickly: "General?"

Qi Yunsheng was about to walk out of the garden when explosions sounded everywhere. He hurried back and said in a deep voice, "Follow me!"

Neither the master nor the disciple was the type to panic. When they encountered such an accident, they immediately dealt with the problem, and at the same time, they had one thought in mind:
Who was this explosion directed at?

Is it directed at the Qi Mansion, Xue Zongwu, or other powerful people in the villa?
Xue Zongwu is indeed notorious, but Qi Yunsheng is not a good guy either. There are so many officials in the villa, how can there not be enemies?
