Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 1236
Chapter 1236 The Routine of Imperial Concubine Kong
Jiang Feng followed Lu Ziyuan back to the Kong Clan’s Inner Palace’s Wen Sheng Hall.
It was still the main hall of the Temple of Literature. Jiang Feng saw Kong Qiuni again.
Kong Qiuni sat in a tall imperial chair. After entering the hall, Jiang Feng bowed to Kong Qiuni, “Disciple greets Master.”
“Yes.” Kong Qiuni nodded. He looked at Jiang Feng and asked, “Did you go to the Golden Hook Gambling House to kill someone yesterday?”
“Yes.” Jiang Feng nodded his head and admitted, “Someone deliberately set up a trap to give me some power. They captured the steward of my mansion and lured me into the Golden Hook Gambling House. If I don’t kill him, I probably won’t be able to escape unscathed.”
“Nonsense. It’s clearly the steward of your mansion who went to the Golden Hook Gambling House to steal money. After they caught the steward of your mansion, they asked your door to collect people. In the end, you went to the Golden Hook Gambling House and killed everyone inside without saying a word. Your actions are simply lawless and insane!”
Lu Ziyuan’s words were loud and forceful. He did not look like a Wen Zu Saint at all, but more like a judge from the Ministry of Justice.
However, Lu Ziyuan’s gesture was enough to scare ordinary people. It was naturally impossible to scare Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng waited quietly for Lu Ziyuan to finish his sentence. Then, he turned to Lu Ziyuan and asked, “Big Senior Brother, Junior Brother, I’m surprised. The people in the Golden Hook Gambling House are all dead. How did you learn so many details?”
“I… I was told!” Lu Ziyuan said with a hint of confusion.
‘”Oh” Jiang Feng nodded his head, dragging on the long end of his voice. “So Eldest Senior Brother is just hearing rumors. Sigh … Eldest Senior Brother has made me sad. Junior Brother is at least a disciple personally chosen by Master.
Even if you don’t care about the relationship between your martial brothers, you still have to believe in Master’s understanding of others, right?
“Senior apprentice-brother, it’s all because of your rumors. Isn’t that a bit arbitrary?”
“Ye Ye, you …”
Lu Ziyuan did not expect that Jiang Feng would actually be able to counter-attack him in such a situation. It was just a few words. Lu Ziyuan had at least been nailed by Jiang Feng on suspicion of intentionally targeting his fellow disciples.
Lu Ziyuan secretly looked at Kong Qiuni nervously. He knelt on the ground with a knee and said in a slightly panicked tone, “Master, I beg you, Ye Ye’s disciple in the Golden Hook Gambling House has actually inquired many times. This disciple is willing to vouch for the honor of the saints. What this disciple said is true, and he did not intentionally slander Ye Ye Ye.”
“Big Senior Apprentice Brother, can you tell me more clearly in front of Master and me? Tell me how you’ve been’snooping around ‘for so many times?”
“Ye Ye! You don’t have the qualifications to question me. Only Master has one!”
Lu Ziyuan looked at Jiang Feng and roared angrily. His appearance clearly showed that he was somewhat embarrassed and enraged.
Jiang Feng curled his lips and muttered, “If everyone were to testify against others like you, then everyone in the Heavenly Dynasty would probably die.”
Lu Ziyuan was about to explode with anger from Jiang Feng, and Kong Qiuni, who was sitting in the Grand Master’s chair, shook his head in his heart.
It had to be said that Lu Ziyuan’s performance at this moment made Kong Qiuni very disappointed. After all, Lu Ziyuan was his eldest disciple. Now that he had been provoked to this point by someone in front of him in a few words, his self-preservation skills were a bit too poor.
Kong Qiuni waved his hand and said, “Alright, Zi Yuan, you can leave first. I will talk to Ye Ye alone.”
“Yes.” Lu Ziyuan did not dare to disobey Kong Qiuni’s words at all. He bowed and left the Temple of Literature. Very quickly, only Jiang Feng and Kong Qiuni were present in the Temple of Literature.
Kong Qiuni said to Jiang Feng, “Six or seven …”
Kong Qiuni called out affectionately, but Jiang Feng had an impulse to answer “48”. Luckily, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that Liuqi seemed to be 42, so he didn’t answer.
“I won’t interfere with the affairs of the Golden Hook Gambling House anymore. However, I warn you, cultivating Confucianism should be done with benevolence and self-examination, and you should not continue to forcefully commit crimes and commit sins.”
“Yes, this disciple will remember.” Jiang Feng nodded in agreement.
Kong Qiuni sized up Jiang Feng from head to toe and said, “In another five days, it will be the day of this year’s Void Seven Stars Palace exploration. This time, I am going to personally go there. Are you interested in traveling with me?”
Jiang Feng had been waiting for Kong Qiuni to tell him about Void Seven Stars Palace. Ever since he heard about Void Seven Stars Palace, he had always wanted to visit Void Seven Stars Palace. Now that Kong Qiuni had finally taken the initiative to mention it, Jiang Feng naturally would not refuse.
“This disciple thanks Master for your nurturing. This disciple is willing to accompany Master.”
“Since that’s the case, then you should go down and prepare. If there’s nothing else, you should try to be cautious and keep a low profile these few days.”
“Yes, this disciple will remember.”
When Jiang Feng came out of the Temple of Literature, it was already past noon. Jiang Feng saw Lu Ziyuan outside the main entrance of the Kong Clan’s inner mansion. The moment Lu Ziyuan saw Jiang Feng, he immediately welcomed him.
“Ye Ye, it seems that you are not prepared to join my Supreme Confucianism, right?”
“Oh, Senior Brother isn’t called ‘Junior Brother Liuqi’ now? Your face is changing quite quickly. Have you ever been in a variety show before?”
Jiang Feng knew that he had already tangled with Lu Ziyuan after experiencing the incident at the Wen Sheng Temple, so Jiang Feng didn’t give Lu Ziyuan any face now.
Lu Ziyuan looked at Jiang Feng and sneered, “Good, very good. Since Junior Brother Liu Qi already has a choice, then we will have a long time to come.”
Jiang Feng was stunned. He asked Lu Ziyuan seriously, “Big Senior Brother, why is Sister-in-law’s name called ‘Chief Fang’?”
Before Lu Ziyuan could react, Jiang Feng turned around and left. After a while, Lu Ziyuan came back to his senses and angrily shouted at Jiang Feng’s back, “Despicable! Shameless!”
While walking, Jiang Feng raised his middle finger behind Lu Ziyuan’s back. Although Lu Ziyuan did not understand what Jiang Feng’s action meant, he could guess that Jiang Feng was definitely mocking him.
Jiang Feng returned to his own Sage’s Mansion after leaving the Kong Clan’s inner mansion. He was locked up in his study room alone to study the mechanical knowledge. However, Jiang Feng did not know that Kong Huangfei had already set up an overall situation in the Chaohui Mansion in order to promote his Caigentan.
After ordinary people obtained Jiang Feng’s [Caigen Tan], their first thought would probably be to print a book and distribute it around the world free of charge.
However, Kong Huangfei was different. She did not know how much deeper her routine was.
Imperial Concubine Kong first sent people to spread rumors all over the Chaohui Manor, but now all kinds of rumors were flying all over the manor.
At this moment, Tianle Restaurant was just an ordinary restaurant in Chaohui Manor, but its customers were still whispering about matters related to Caigentan.
“Old Wang, have you heard that Wen Sheng’s new disciple started a massacre at the Golden Hook Gambling House yesterday?”
“I heard. This Ye Zu is too ruthless. He actually killed more than a hundred people in the Golden Hook Gambling House. Not a single one of them was left.”
“Then do you know why Ye Zu attacked so ruthlessly?”
“Why?”
“Because Ye Zu wrote an unparalleled masterpiece-Caigentan! This book is the culmination of Confucianism, and even Wensheng accepted him as his disciple because Ye Zu wrote such an unparalleled masterpiece.
“However, the manuscript of this book was stolen by Black Bull and lost in the Golden Hook Gambling House. Ye Zu personally went to the Ransom Hook Gambling House and did not give it to anyone. That’s why Ye Zu killed him in pain.”
“Really? Is that Caigen Tan that important?”
“Isn’t your knowledge lacking? I found a way to hear a few words. I’ll read it to you and you’ll understand.”
“If you want to be a fine gold jade character, you must forge it from the blazing fire. If you want to do anything that can lift the heavens and uncover the earth, you must walk on thin ice.
One misconception, feel all elements are not, prevent it when like a sea-crossing floating bag, do not allow a needle leakage;
Wan Shanquan was worthy of a lifetime. “Cultivating is like cultivating a precious tree of soaring clouds. It must be supported by fake trees.”
“What’s behind it? What’s behind it?” After listening to his friend’s silent chanting, the listener hurriedly asked.
‘”If only I knew what was going on,” sighed the friend who was reciting silently. “I’ve only heard a few words before.”
As the name “Caigentan” spread more and more widely in Chaohui Manor, Kong Huangfei threw out new news.
“Wow, have you heard? Someone actually destroyed 24 families in one go in order to find the original manuscript of Cai Gen Tan. There are more than 500 people up and down.”
“Those people who were annihilated all had countless connections with the Golden Hook Gambling House. I really don’t know who will end up owning this peerless mystical book, Caigen Tan.”
At dusk, the news about the original manuscript of Caigentan was updated once again, and this time, it was no longer a gossip, but a trustworthy piece of news.
The news said that the original manuscript of Caigentan was scheduled to be auctioned in seven days. The auction house in charge of auctioning was the publisher of this news, the famous imperial auction house of the Heavenly Dynasty–the Royal Auction House.
The news from the Royal Auction House quickly spread. Soon, not only the Chaohui Prefecture, but also several nearby prefectures gradually received the news, and the news quickly spread to Tiandu.
Jiang Feng stayed in his study for five days in a row. During these five days, not only was he studying Shenge Civilization’s mechanical arts, Jiang Feng was also carefully studying the map Mo Han had given him.
The map Mo Han had given Jiang Feng wasn’t complete, which meant that his father hadn’t finished exploring the entire Void Seven Stars Palace.
However, all the places Mo Zigong had scanned on the map were marked very carefully, including the locations of some treasures that Mo Zigong had scanned but did not bring with him.
After Jiang Feng memorized all the information on the map, he took off the Universe Cleansing Cauldron and placed it into the Void Chaos Stone in his right hand.
This morning, Jiang Feng had just gotten up and finished washing up. Before he could eat breakfast, a white light shone down from the roof of the dining room.
Kong Qiuni appeared in the dining room. When Jiang Feng saw that it was Kong Qiuni, he immediately stood up and bowed to Kong Qiuni, “Disciple greets Master.”
Kong Qiuni nodded slightly and said, “Today is the day of the Void Seven Stars Palace. Follow me.”
Kong Qiuni grabbed Jiang Feng’s arm as he finished speaking. In an instant, Jiang Feng could only feel a blazing white light in front of him …
