Chapter 121: Motivation
After ten years of getting along together, except for the two things of soul rebirth and the identity of the disaster star, Rong Fei will not hide anything from Ji Rou'er.
Of course, with Ji Rouer's intelligence and understanding of Rong Fei, she can't hide it.
Regarding Rong Fei's enthusiasm for investigating the truth of the so-called Didian State disaster, although Ji Rouer also felt incomprehensible and a little puzzled, since Rong Fei did not take the initiative to mention it, Ji Rouer never asked.
On the premise that it will not endanger her life, no matter what Rong Fei wants to do, Ji Rouer will not interfere, and will only support her silently behind her back.
However, tonight's performance was too abnormal, which made Ji Rouer feel a trace of fear in her heart.
Therefore, Ji Rouer took the initiative to ask.
Ji Rouer knew that as long as she asked, Rong Fei would definitely say it. Even Rong Fei is hidden deep in his heart and secretly secret.
"I have recently been investigating the case of missing people in Kyoto, and there may be a lot of forces involved behind this case, even the court and the military. The reason why I am able to run amok in Kyoto City now is because of the emperor's attitude, and partly because I have been very careful to keep a sense of proportion.
Fan Li and Chang Huaien, first of all, they took the initiative to provoke the Immortal Division, and gave me the reason to do it. Secondly, everything I did was only aimed at these two people, and I did not touch the interests of their forces. Therefore, neither the civil officials nor the relatives of the civil servants troubled me.
This is not the case with the case of missing persons, where tens of thousands of people mysteriously disappear every year, and no one is alive or dead in Kyoto, and they are inevitably smuggled out of the city. Just letting the forbidden army choose to turn a blind eye is not something that ordinary people and forces can do. Even I suspect that the Praetorian Army may well be involved.
I have a hunch that the truth of the disappearance case may cause a shock in the court of Dayan. Therefore, the closer one gets to the truth, the more dangerous the situation becomes. The assassination just now may have something to do with this case."
"That's..."
Ji Rou'er looked worried, opened her mouth but only spit out one word.
She wanted to persuade Rong Fei that since she knew that this case was very relevant and so dangerous, it was better to let it go.
But...
Rong Fei smiled, clenched Ji Rou'er's scar, recovered her smooth and silky hand, and said with a smile.
"I know your concerns. Brother Yu knew that I had warned me during the investigation of the disaster in Dunzhou, and it was best not to know too much until I had enough self-protection ability. At that time, I began to suspect that the catastrophe in Danzhou should be related to the spiritual world. Tonight I learned something more from Miss Rue, and I was more and more sure.
The cultivation world is led by the Four Absolute Holy Lands, there are countless great cultivators in the two realms of heaven and earth, and there are even super venerables who can be called land immortals. If I want to brush their tiger whiskers, with my current little ability, it is still too far and too far. Even if he is as strong as Brother Yu, he can only stay in Kyoto City honestly, and every time he goes out of Kyoto, he must find a way to hide his whereabouts, so as not to be discovered by the people of the Four Absolute Holy Lands and set up an ambush.
I am a god-catching technique practiced by contemplating the mind, and I can't use the method of meditation to attract spiritual energy into my body, so I can only improve my cultivation by absorbing the qi of the criminal name by handling cases. Originally, I thought this was a shortcut, but after hundreds of cases were handled during this time, I only barely reached the peak of the eighth grade. Although the thirteen arresters of the Immortal Division have also taken away part of the qi of the criminal name, the big head is still with me. Every breakthrough of this level requires the spiritual power in the body to cause qualitative changes with quantitative changes, and if you want to break through to the seventh grade, I am afraid that you will have to handle hundreds of more cases.
It is already so difficult to cultivate to reach the seventh grade, and when the time comes, the promotion of the seventh grade to the sixth grade is to cross a large realm, and the difficulty is even more conceivable.
Since the ascension of the God Catcher, the Immortal Hunting Division has fallen into the four-rank curse. Brother Yu said that contemplation may be the only way to break this curse, but after all, it was only his guess. To break through the great realm, in addition to the many requirements for cultivation and understanding, the younger the better. After all, the body is a container for cultivation, and the stronger the container, the higher the fault tolerance rate, and even if the breakthrough fails, the chance of saving your life and starting over again is greater.
So I have to hurry. According to the clues currently available, it is conservatively estimated that the number of people involved in the disappearance case will not be less than 20,000 or 30,000, and may even be more. If this case can be clarified, the amount of criminal reputation obtained will be immeasurable
It can directly help me break through to a big realm.
In addition, Sister Rou, you know that what I hate most in my life is human trafficking, and since I have encountered it, there is no reason to stand idly by. It is necessary to capture those scum and set an example by clarifying the criminal code."
"So you take the opportunity of tonight's Golden Wind Drizzle Building to reveal your true identity to solve the murder and blame case, recite thirty-six poems, enhance your reputation, and increase the weight of your protection, so as to deter possible enemies in the future, right?"
Ji Rou'er frowned and asked after thinking for a moment.
"That's right."
Rong Fei nodded.
"Now it seems that I have the dual identities of the Immortal Arrest Division and the Imperial Family, but in fact, they are all false. If the final disappearance case really involves the court forces and the military, and there will be a disturbance at that time, my cheap cousin will not care about the law, justice and family friendship, and the first consideration is the stability of the government.
What is the first arrest in the world, the emperor's cousin is not a matter of holy decree, and if you say no, it will be gone. With the relationship between Brother Yu and Concubine Xian, it is not a big problem to save his life, but in this life, he can only be trapped in the cage of Kyoto City. No matter how difficult it is to repair, the investigation of the truth of the mansion in Danzhou will also come to naught.
So I had to do everything I could to add something to protect myself. Although fame and fame are intangible and insubstantial, they can make some people have more scruples."
In the early morning of the next day, Rong Fei, who had finally slept well, had just eaten breakfast and was about to go to the courtyard to play a set of Tai Chi, when he saw Wei Shun, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, hurrying over with two small chamberlains.
"Hey, I heard last night that Rong Capture you met an assassin, and I scared the miscellaneous family so much that I didn't sleep all night. Let's see where the injuries are."
As soon as they met, Wei Shun shouted all the time, saying that he wanted Rong Fei to take off his shirt and let him check it.
Rong Fei hurriedly pressed him to sit on the stone pier, recounted the entire process of the assassination last night, and simulated how to take out the metal ball from the storage jade ring at the critical moment to block the assassin's dagger, Wei Shun was relieved.
"Since it's okay, let's go into the palace with the miscellaneous family. Concubine Xian is still waiting to confirm your safety with her own eyes."
Wei Shun pulled up Rong Fei, and dragged him out of the Xuanwu Hutong courtyard without saying anything, and went straight to the Warm Wind Pavilion of the Imperial Palace.
In the Warm Wind Pavilion, in addition to Concubine Xian, Queen Tang You'er, Princess Yinguang Zhu Yueyao, Prince Zhu Yun and King Zhu Yan of Qi are also there.
Although they had just had dinner together the day before yesterday, their identities at that time were very different from those at this time.
After the meeting, as usual, there were another series of inquiries and concerns.
Rong Fei could only tell what happened last night again.
"What about the assassin, let her escape. Rong Fei, aren't you the number one catcher in the world, how can you not even catch an assassin?"
Zhu Yun asked in a milky voice, but was gently patted by Queen Tang You'er on her lower brain.
"There is no courtesy, you have to call uncle."
Zhu Yun was helpless, so he could only rub his little head and reluctantly call his uncle.
"Don't worry, if you run for a while, you won't be able to run for a lifetime, and the assassin won't be able to escape from the palm of my hand."
Rong Fei smiled ambiguously.
"Rong Fei, come and sit. The day before yesterday, you were a guest, and you always had to worry about the number of courtesies. Today, I can finally take a good look at my good nephew."
Concubine Xian's face was full of kindness, and Chao Rongfei beckoned.
Rong Fei felt a little awkward in his heart, but he still obediently went to sit down opposite Concubine Xian.
"Like! It's like! The more you look at it, the more it looks. No wonder I felt like I had seen you somewhere when I saw you that day. Hehehe, although you were like a ball of mud at that time, the eyebrows and eyes that show are almost exactly the same as those of my sister."
Now that it has been confirmed that Rong Fei is her own nephew, Concubine Xian has no scruples, grabbing Rong Fei's hand and looking at Rong Fei's face one by one.
mentioned her sister, who had not heard from her for many years and did not know life and death, Concubine Xian's eyes couldn't help but swell with a touch of sadness.
"Uncle Rong Fei, drunk and picky
The lamp looks at the sword, and the dream blows the horn and the battalion, is this really your song?"
Concubine Xian's topic naturally couldn't arouse the interest of Zhu Yun and Zhu Yan, but after listening to it for a while, she finally couldn't help it, and took advantage of the time when Concubine Xian was talking, and came to Rong Fei and asked curiously.
"It's not."
Rong Fei shook his head without hesitation.
"Who did that?"
Zhu Yun asked unrelentingly.
"Xin Qi's disease."
"Who is Xin Qiji?"
"It's a fairy."
"You liar, the gods can only fight, not compose poems. Also, what year is the fourth year of Qingli? Who is Teng Zijing? Where is Baling-gun? Where is Bianzhou? Where is Hangzhou? …」
A series of questions came out of Zhu Yun's mouth, which made Rong Fei a little big.
Seeing that Concubine Xian and Queen Tang You'er and Zhu Yueyao on the side were also waiting for their answers expectantly, Rong Fei was always not good at fooling him with this set of rhetoric thousands of years ago and thousands of years later.
"Uh... Do you remember the Romance of the Three Kingdoms I talked about last time?"
Rong Fei asked after thinking for a moment.
"Of course I remember, the three heroes fought against Lu Bu, shot the halberd at the gate, cut the beard and abandoned the robe..."
Zhu Yun has a good memory, and reported several classic passages in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he had heard.
"The questions you just asked are actually from another story called the Song Dynasty."
In the face of the loving Concubine Xian, Rong Fei is actually a little weak-hearted. Although this relative is recognized by Concubine Xian, Rong Fei's own family knows his own affairs, and he clearly knows that he is definitely not the nephew of Concubine Xian.
But it is hard to deny that it has come to this point.
Instead of sitting on pins and needles to face Concubine Xian, it is better to change the topic and resolve the embarrassment invisibly.
"It is said that Chen Qiao mutinied, Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor in the yellow robe, and the Northern Song Dynasty was established... The Jin soldiers broke through the city of Bianliang, and the Northern Song court fled to Hangzhou to establish a new capital, which became the Southern Song Dynasty Chinese..."
Rong Fei's plan succeeded, Concubine Xian, Tang You'er and others were all attracted by the story he told, so they spent a morning like this, and after eating a lunch, they let Rong Fei leave.
Rong Fei had just left the palace on his front foot, and on his back foot, an attendant wrote everything that happened in the Warm Wind Pavilion and presented it to Emperor Yan Zhu Sheng's case.
