Chapter 682: Exploration
The news was shocking enough, and it was enough to make a calm person like Pang Ban lose his composure.
Because if it was just a King Jin, Pang Ban wasn't too worried. Now that the emperor has ruled the empire for decades, his power is incomparable. It is impossible for King Jin to regain the throne. No one would be so foolish as to respond.
But Yang Yansi unexpectedly appeared with King Jin. The situation is different.
What is Yang Yansi's identity? Even if he is now hidden by the emperor Xue, he is still the minister of the Ministry of War, and he is also the general of the Zhu Kingdom in the country, and his prestige in the army and among the people is one of the best.
Even though there was no direct evidence of Yang Yansi's self-respect last time, Yang Yansi definitely played an important role in it, otherwise he would not be disgusted by the emperor. The reason why he didn't die should be that the emperor was thinking about the great war that hadn't started at that time, and he wanted to save some face for the generals of the army, otherwise he wouldn't allow Yang Yansi to live to this day with his position as a minister.
Looking at it separately, whether it is Yang Yansi or King Jin, to be honest, Pang Ban doesn't pay much attention to him. Although both of them are monks in the Xuanhai realm, so what? There are too many monks in the Xuanhai Realm, who dares to come to the imperial city to show off their might? Not afraid of death or what?
But if Yang Yansi and King Jin get together, the situation will be different. If Yang Yansi ascended to the heights, coupled with the status of King Jin, there might really be some waves here. The key is that Pang Ban knows that the emperor at this moment is near the end of his life, and the current internal and external difficulties of the country, the variables are not small.
"Where is King Ling?" Pang Ban was unavoidably worried, and at the same time wondered what happened to King Ling besides Yang Yansi and King Jin? How did you get involved in this matter?
"I don't know. According to our information, the teahouse that King Jin went to belonged to King Ling, and the luthier he met was also a regular visitor to King Ling's mansion. But King Ling has not been directly involved so far."
That luthier is Fu Ji. But before Shen Hao took care of the people below and did not report the news about Fu Ji being Yueying Studio, so Jiang Cheng didn't know. And Pang Ban didn't seem to grasp the situation either.
"Check! King Jin can't go alone to listen to the piano art for two hours, there must be another purpose."
"It's adults!"
"Go on. If this matter doesn't drag on, I have to go to the palace overnight." Pang Ban didn't stay with Jiang Cheng to continue discussing, he also stood up in front of Jiang Cheng, put on his coat and summoned the guards, and also hurried out the door .
Jiang Cheng looked at the problem the same as before, and because of the difference in information, this news was more tense in Pang Ban's eyes.
Separated from Jiang Cheng, Pang Ban went all the way to the palace. After waiting outside the palace gate for more than half an hour, someone came out with the emperor's warrant to pick him up. This is not over yet, after entering the gate of the palace, there are five checkpoints along the way, and only after all are correct can Pang Ban move forward in the palace. During this process, Pang Ban could obviously feel that several auras had been locked on his body, and he was definitely a master with similar cultivation.
In Fu'an Palace, I saw the emperor with a tired face, and Yang Xiusheng with a blank expression.
"Chen, see Your Majesty. I have met Master Yang."
The emperor leaned back on the soft bed, sat down, waved his hands, and squinted his eyes. And Yang Xiusheng nodded to Pang Ban as a greeting.
"Talk about something." The emperor is really tired, and he can fall asleep for a short time every night. This is a rare time for him to relax, and he can not feel the pain. But being disturbed by Pang Ban, he was in a bad mood, but he also knew that Pang Ban must have something important to come here late at night.
"Your Majesty, the whereabouts of King Jin have been found at Heishui."
In a word, not only the emperor sat up straight and opened his eyes, but even Yang Xiusheng next to him looked over with the same serious expression.
"Found it? Where is it?" The emperor was a little surprised. He also had the attitude of "trying it out" before, and he didn't think that the intelligence system that Xuan Qingwei just created could help in this regard, but he was pleasantly surprised. How many days has it been? The so-called black water seems to have some skills.
Pang Ban recounted the news reported by Jiang Cheng in detail, without embellishment or adding his own views, just a simple retelling.
Pang Ban knew that this kind of thing must not be added to his own thoughts. The emperor will make his own judgment, and if he needs to hear your opinion, he will ask another question. If you don't ask, don't talk too much.
"Wuzhuang? Yang Yansi?!" The emperor raised his brows, turned to look at Yang Xiusheng beside him, and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"
Yang Xiusheng was silent for a while, then shook his head again, and said, "Impossible. I personally cut Yang Yansi's veins. He is at the first level of Xuanhai. Monitor his every move, if someone contacts him, it is impossible for me not to receive news."
Although Yang Xiusheng didn't say it directly, his words were clearly full of doubts, and at the same time he was clearly questioning the information that Pang Ban said.
The emperor thought otherwise, frowning and said: "There are no absolutes in the world. Uncle, the method of cutting off the veins you mentioned can really guarantee that there is no magic method in the world? In addition, when did the golden sword monk you arranged contact you recently?" ?”
"There is contact every day. This is the task I gave him. Yang Yansi needs to report every move he does every day, and he has never delayed or missed it." Yang Xiusheng felt incredible because of this, and at the same time he had to doubt Pang Ban brought news.
The emperor glanced at Pang Ban in front of him, but did not ask, but continued to ask Yang Xiusheng: "Uncle, can you still contact that person?"
"Yes, you can contact me at any time if you have a thousand-mile note. Then I'll ask him."
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Pang Ban had no choice but to interrupt. Seeing the emperor and Yang Xiusheng turn their heads to look at him, they explained: "Your Majesty, Master Yang, it is fine to contact the golden sword monk beside Yang Yansi, but please think about your words and reasons first. It’s very easy to scare the snake.”
The emperor nodded in agreement, Yang Xiusheng thought for a while to show that he understood Pang Ban's meaning, and after thinking clearly, he took out a thousand-mile note and started to contact the golden sword he had arranged beside Yang Yansi.
The emperor and Pang Ban didn't know what Yang Xiusheng said to the other party, but it didn't take long for Yang Xiusheng's sudden change of expression to indicate that something was wrong.
"Something happened." Yang Xiusheng's face was ashen, and he handed the thousand-mile note in front of the emperor.
"I said that the situation in the imperial city is tense recently. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Yang Yansi will inevitably become the target of various forces. I asked him if he needed me to ask Li Ming to help him, and he replied that no. There is no monk named Li Ming."
