Chapter 61: Briefing
Han Xu and Han Luoling left one after another, leaving behind a group of innocent people looking at each other in bewilderment.
What happened today was simply too much for the students of Jiuxiao Academy.
Even though they all had prominent family backgrounds, Jiuxiao Academy was still a holy place in their hearts.
But the holy place in their hearts was suppressed by a woman.
How absurd this was.
But it happened in public.
After the crowd dispersed, the news here quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the royal city with these students.
Wu Xiuxian also got the news at the first time, and he was really happy in his heart.
It seems that his bet was right.
Qing'er and Nishang took advantage of Han Xu's time to go to the academy and went out to buy fresh fruits and vegetables that Han Xu liked to eat. Of course, they went out with their faces covered.
If they went out without covering up, they didn't know what trouble they would cause.
When Han Xu returned home, the fruits had been plated, and Qing'er and Nishang had cleaned the whole house. It seemed that they had completely integrated into the role of maids.
Han Xu sat on the armchair, Qing'er stood behind him, gently massaging his temples, and Nishang knelt beside him, putting the peeled fruits into Han Xu's mouth.
Han Xu seemed to be enjoying it, but he was actually thinking about something.
Today in the academy, when Han Luoling and Zhang Tianming were confronting each other, Han Xu quietly used his spiritual sense to scan the entire academy.
In fact, during this period of time, Han Xu would use his spiritual sense to observe the surroundings when he went out.
He was looking for someone, a person who should have appeared but seemed to have disappeared.
The son of the Cavalry Mansion, Wang Ran.
Since Wang Qian was killed, Wang Ran seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and never appeared again.
Even when Han Xu swaggered out of the Wanhua Pavilion with Qing'er, Wang Ran, Qing'er's number one loyal fan, did not appear.
Others may not know what happened to Wang Qian, but Wang Ran certainly knows, because he knows the whole assassination plan.
As long as Wang Qian did not return to the mansion, he should know that Wang Qian had failed.
And the consequence of failure is naturally death.
Based on Han Xu's understanding of Wang Ran, at this time, he would never hide himself in a low-key manner, but would choose revenge.
Use all the power he can to retaliate.
Although he can't do anything to Han Luoling in the palace, he will at least make trouble for Han Xu.
After all, his hatred for Han Xu has been going on for more than one or two days.
At first, it was because of Qing'er that Wang Ran always hated Han Xu. Later, when he was assessed in the academy, Han Xu exposed his conspiracy.
Later, Wang Qian died because of Han Xu's sister. Once Wang Qian died, the fall of the Xiaoqi Mansion was certain.
So no matter what, Wang Ran should take unfavorable actions against Han Xu to retaliate, or vent.
But so many days have passed, and nothing has happened.
Han Xu had already told Lin Feng to use the power of the Golden Sword Sect to check Wang Ran's whereabouts, but he found nothing.
With Wang Ran's little skill, he naturally could not pose a threat to Han Xu, but Han Xu did not want his sudden appearance to disrupt his plan and rhythm.
If Wang Ran jumped out on the street one day to hit Han Xu, would Han Xu expose his strength and fight back? Or continue to hide and be beaten?
Letting him out is always a hidden danger.
Han Xu, who has lived two lives, believes most in the truth that details determine success or failure.
"Nishang, if I ask you to find someone in the royal city, how long will it take?" Han Xu suddenly asked.
Nishang didn't know what Han Xu was going to do, but still said: "In the past, we could use the intelligence system of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. No matter who it was, we could find it within three days. Now it may take longer."
"Besides, many people know my identity, and it is not convenient to do things."
Han Xu nodded and agreed with Nishang's statement. If Nishang was asked to check by herself, there would indeed be many inconveniences. Even if her ability was strong, it would be difficult to play without the power in her hands.
"How about this, after your injury is healed, go and accept the intelligence work of the Golden Sword Sect."
"Golden Sword Sect?"
"I forgot to tell you that the new leader of the Golden Sword Sect is Uncle Lin."
"Uncle Lin?" Nishang and Qing'er were shocked.
"Is Uncle Lin an extraordinary master?" Qing'er couldn't help asking.
"Why, doesn't he look like one?"
"Not at all." Nishang said.
Who in the world has ever seen an extraordinary master working as a groom for a playboy?
Qing'er and Nishang found it hard to accept the thought that Lin Feng, who they had been with day and night, was actually an extraordinary master.
In their minds, they always unconsciously recalled the scene of Lin Feng feeding horses in the stable.
That figure was always difficult to associate with an extraordinary master.
Both women were trained and thoughtful people.
After a brief shock, they soon thought of deeper problems.
Lin Feng, as an extraordinary master, was willing to be Han Xu's groom, and from his appearance, he respected Han Xu from the bottom of his heart.
So, is Han Xu really the dude they thought he was?
Now, even the Golden Sword Sect has fallen into Han Xu's hands without knowing it.
Moreover, he also knows the legendary strongman like the White Sword Demon.
Can such a person be a dude?
In this case, there is only one explanation, dude, is just Han Xu's disguise.
Qing'er and Nishang thought of what Han Xu said when he came back from the palace: "Men are bound to act according to circumstances when they are away from home."
Perhaps, he has always been acting according to circumstances.
After coming to their senses, Nishang and Qing'er were somewhat relieved.
Han Xu told them Lin Feng's identity today, which meant that he completely trusted them.
After coming to her senses, Nishang quickly said: "As far as I know, the intelligence system of the Golden Sword Sect is not worse than that of the Four Pavilions. If Uncle Lin can fully control the Golden Sword Sect and support me, no matter who it is, as long as he is in the Royal City, I can find him out within three days. But if the young master lets me be responsible for future intelligence work, to be honest, Nishang is not good at it."
"Young master, you should know that Nishang is best at assassination."
"Of course I know, but there is no better choice now. The Golden Sword Sect already has a mature intelligence system. I let you go just because I feel at ease."
"You should recover from your injuries first, and then talk about it when your body recovers." Han Xu said, and closed his eyes again.
On the one hand, Lin Feng has not been able to completely control the Golden Sword Sect. On the other hand, Han Xu will have to meet the master that his sister found for him for a while. He should stay in the academy often. Even if Wang Ran wants to take action, he will not have any chance.
That Taoist Master Mo is absolutely powerful.
Little did he know that Wang Ran, who Han Xu has always been concerned about, was hiding in a courtyard in the royal city at this time.
The guards here are strict, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach at all, because the owner of this courtyard is none other than the current prince of the East Palace.
Wang Ran was meditating and practicing in the courtyard, and there were strands of icy air around him.
Obviously, in this short period of time, Wang Ran's cultivation has improved again.
A man with ordinary clothes but a dignified appearance quietly came to Wang Ran.
Wang Ran seemed to sense something, stood up and greeted him, saying: "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"No need to be polite, I heard from my servant that you wanted to see me."
"Your Highness, since taking the elixir you gave me, my cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. In a short period of time, I have broken through and entered the fifth rank." Wang Ran's eyes were filled with excitement and hatred.
He said: "So, I am ready to take revenge."
"No hurry, you should practice well first. From what I can see, you have not yet fully absorbed the power of the medicine. After fully absorbing it, you should be able to enter the seventh rank."
"Seventh rank?" Even Wang Ran himself was stunned. According to his normal cultivation speed, it would take at least five years to reach the seventh rank.
"Your Highness, I dare to ask, what kind of elixir did you give me that has such a heaven-defying effect?"
"Seven Killings and Seven Deaths Pill."
