Chapter 159: Joining the Game, the Conspiracy is Unsolved

Qin Fan looked at Lu Xiaofeng and wanted to complain, but didn’t know where to start.

“You are really their good friend, how could you come up with such a dirty trick?”

“There’s nothing I can do. After all, it involves the dynasty, so it’s better to be careful!” Lu Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly.

“To be honest with you, Brother Qin, I had fought with Ximen Chuxue before coming here, but I was no match for him, not to mention that I could not seriously injure him!”

“So, I have no choice but to ask Brother Qin for help!”

Lu Xiaofeng said as he came forward with a lewd look on his face.

“Brother Qin, don’t worry. This is all for their own good. I will explain to them afterwards and will definitely not implicate Brother Qin!”

Qin Fan knew that this kid was not holding back his fart, but this method was too shameless.

No wonder Lu Xiaofeng came up with this idea.

“You stopped them from fighting, but what happens next? Even if one of them is seriously injured, there will always be a day when they will recover. What will you do then?”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng lowered his head dejectedly.

“I will try to persuade them…”

Before Lu Xiaofeng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qin Fan.

“You can’t stop them from fighting.”

Lu Xiaofeng was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He clearly understood this principle.

Those two were the best swordsmen in the world. As swordsmen, their honor was more important than their lives.

There is bound to be a battle between them.

And as long as they have this battle, they will be taken advantage of.

Lu Xiaofeng was familiar with Ye Gucheng, and he knew very well that Ye Gucheng was not the kind of person who would surrender to the court.

When they reach this level, practice is more important than anything else.

Not to mention that swordsmen are supposed to be arrogant and it is even more impossible for them to be willing to be inferior to others.

Ye Gucheng is now willing to become the guard of Prince Nan’s Palace, probably to use this opportunity to fight with Ximen Chuxue.

Pushing themselves into a desperate situation is the paranoia of these swordsmen. Ordinary people cannot understand it, and even Lu Xiaofeng does not understand it.

But he was destined to be unable to stop this.

But the problem is that even if he told the emperor about this, the emperor might not believe him.

After all, the Prince of Nan is the emperor’s brother.

Without any evidence, he had to be charged with the crime of falsely accusing the prince!

Lu Xiaofeng sighed deeply, picked up the glass of wine and drank it all.

Seeing this, Qin Fan had a drink with him.

He knew very well that there was only one way to stop the current situation, and that was for one of them to die!
Therefore, this battle is inevitable.

This conspiracy will definitely continue.

However, now that Lu Xiaofeng knows everything, the result is already obvious.

But for Lu Xiaofeng, Ye Gucheng is also his friend.

He really didn’t want to see this happen.

Moreover, it was a scene that was severed by his own hands.

Lu Xiaofeng drank dejectedly, one glass after another.

If Qin Fan had not told him this, his initial thought would have been to ask Qin Fan to stop them from fighting.

But now that he knew all this, he also understood Ye Gucheng’s determination.

It is impossible for two people with such determination to stop.

Lu Xiaofeng walked away, his steps unsteady as if he was drunk.

But Qin Fan knew that he was clearer than anyone else at this moment.

He just couldn’t accept that he had to send his friend away with his own hands.

And, still in this way.

Qin Fan finished the last glass of wine, stood up and was about to go back, but saw Yun Luo coming to the inn in casual clothes.

“Qin Fan! I was just looking for you!”

When Yun Luo saw Qin Fan, she hurried over and seemed particularly friendly. She had no friends in the palace, but since she and Qin Fan robbed the Southern Palace together last time, Yun Luo regarded Qin Fan as her best friend.

After returning to Beijing yesterday, she felt empty inside after not seeing Qin Fan for just one night.

So, taking the opportunity, she secretly ran out to find Qin Fan.

“How did you come?”

Qin Fan looked at Yun Luo with great curiosity. This girl looked really outstanding and smart in casual clothes.

Qin Fan didn’t notice it before!
“Uncle… No, Zhu Wusi’s funeral will be held tomorrow night. I want to go and see it. Can you accompany me?”

Yun Luo hugged Qin Fan’s arm and acted coquettishly!

“Tomorrow night? Funeral? So fancy?”

When Qin Fan heard this, he felt that something was wrong.

“He is a member of the royal family after all. Even if he has committed a serious crime, he will be treated with royal courtesy! This date was set by him before he died!”

“What day is tomorrow?”

“August 15th! Mid-Autumn Festival!”

“Who gave him his funeral?”

“My brother has asked the East Factory to take full responsibility!”

Qin Fan was shocked when he heard this. He had felt that something was wrong for a long time, and now it seemed that something was really going to happen.

Ximen Chuxue and the others will also compete tomorrow night, and Zhu Wusi’s funeral is also scheduled for tomorrow night. It’s such a coincidence, it must have been premeditated.

It is very likely that Zhu Wusi had colluded with the Prince of Nanwang long ago.

Zhu Wusi faked his death and used royal etiquette to mobilize Cao Zhengchun to leave the palace.

This would make it easier for Prince Nan and his men to attack the emperor.

Cao Zhengchun himself is quite powerful. If he were in the palace, he would definitely be with the emperor. With him around, it would definitely be inconvenient to assassinate the emperor.

Zhu Wusi calculated that Cao Zhengchun hated him, so Cao Zhengchun would definitely take the initiative to take on such a matter.

These people are so calculating!

Qin Fan originally didn’t want to get involved in this matter, but now, he had to take action.

He was very relieved about the palace. Since Lu Xiaofeng already knew the truth of the matter, he would definitely strengthen his defenses, and Ximen Chuxue would not be able to take action.

However, nothing can happen to Cao Zhengchun.

The person Zhu Wusi hates the most now is probably Qin Fan.

He didn’t dare let that guy live.

Now, it’s a good opportunity to kill Zhu Wusi.

Qin Fan thought silently in his heart and kept Yun Luo.

He did not tell Yun Luo about these things. Firstly, the little girl knew nothing, and secondly, Qin Fan did not want others to know about this.

He wanted Zhu Wushi to die, but he didn’t want Cao Zhengchun to live.

The grudge between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the East Factory has not been resolved yet? Moreover, Lin Pingzhi also wants to seek revenge on Cao Zhengchun, so this is a good opportunity to help him.

Late at night, Qin Fan asked Lin Pingzhi out.

And told him his speculation.

Lin Pingzhi was also shocked to hear that Zhu Wusi was not dead.

And when he heard that Zhu Wusi wanted to assassinate Cao Zhengchun tomorrow, he immediately became interested.

Lin Pingzhi went undercover in the Eastern Depot in order to kill Cao Zhengchun and avenge his family.

Now that he has this opportunity, he naturally will not give it up.

Lin Pingzhi knelt down in front of Qin Fan and kowtowed heavily.

“Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother. If my parents’ revenge is achieved, I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life to repay your kindness!”

“You and I are brothers, why do you have to do this!”

Qin Fan helped Lin Pingzhi up and tried to comfort him, but he actually had his own selfish motives.

Now, Liu Xi, the head of the East Factory, has long died, and the position of second-in-command is vacant, so the only one left is Lin Pingzhi.

If Cao Zhengchun died, the East Factory would fall into Lin Pingzhi’s hands.

By then, Huashan will have an extra force!
