Chapter 160: Resurrection from the dead, the action begins

Mooncake Festival.

The capital city is filled with beautiful women.

The lights are just coming on and the streets are bustling with people.

Tonight is undoubtedly lively.

But at this moment, in the suburbs of the city, the Guiyi Zen Temple seemed to be silent.

The inside and outside of Chanyuan were surrounded by banners from the East Factory.

Zhu Wusi’s funeral was held here. This was his own request before his death.

Inside the Zen temple, Cao Zhengchun sat aside, drinking tea comfortably.

“Your Excellency, Princess Yunluo and Lord Qin are here!”

His subordinate suddenly came to report, and when he heard Qin Fan’s name, Cao Zhengchun’s expression paused. He quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile.

“Hahaha, why didn’t Qin Xiaoyou stay in the city to celebrate the festival? Why did you come to this remote place?”

Cao Zhengchun is now much more enthusiastic towards Qin Fan. After all, without the information provided by Qin Fan, he would have no way to defeat his biggest opponent.

But he was still a little confused about Qin Fan’s sudden coming here.

Especially since Princess Yunluo also came along, he was a little worried because she came with the emperor’s order.

According to what Cao Zhengchun was thinking, he had no intention of using any royal etiquette against Zhu Wusi, but if Yun Luo was here, it would be difficult for him to do so.

“I don’t like crowds, so I just came out for a walk!”

“Well, the princess said she wanted to come and see the funeral of the Divine Marquis, so I accompanied her here!”

Qin Fan said this and glanced at Zhu Wusi’s body in the yard.

The guy looked like he had stopped breathing, and his body was even a little purple, but Qin Fan could still see what was wrong with him at a glance.

On the surface, Zhu Wusi seemed to be dead, but his mind was still focused.

Normally, when a person dies, his mind will inevitably collapse. This is the most direct way to determine life or death.

It’s just that this method is obviously not visible to ordinary people.

Only someone like Qin Fan, who has cultivated his primordial spirit, can understand people’s minds.

Zhu Wusi obviously used some secret method to fake his death.

“This scene is not a good look!” Cao Zhengchun laughed and asked someone to bring a chair.

“Princess, please take a seat, Mr. Qin. It’s not time yet, so you two will probably have to wait a little longer!”

“Lord Cao is really punctual. However, now that the person is dead, there is no need to be so particular. Why not just burn it and go back to celebrate the festival?”

Since Qin Fan has confirmed that Zhu Wusi is still alive, he naturally hopes that things here will end as soon as possible.

Although Lu Xiaofeng was watching over the palace, Qin Fan was still a little worried.

If those guys really succeeded, even if he killed Zhu Wusi, he would most likely be targeted by the King of the South later.

Cao Zhengchun was obviously at a loss when he heard this.

It seemed that Qin Fan was even more anxious than himself.

“My dear Qin, you are joking. After all, the Divine Marquis is from the royal family. I still need to abide by his last wish!”

Although Cao Zhengchun hated Zhu Wusi, he did not dare to do anything about it.

Insulting the royal family would be a serious crime if it got out.

“Superintendent Cao is indeed loyal to his duties. However, the princess and I are here to express our condolences on behalf of the emperor. It is really sad that the governor still has to stick to his post during the Mid-Autumn Festival!”

“The Emperor also feels sorry for the Lord Governor, so… the Lord Governor understands, right?”

Qin Fan continued to hint, and although Yun Luo beside him didn’t understand, he still nodded silently.

Seeing this scene, Cao Zhengchun felt more confident.

It turned out that the emperor was hinting at me.

He immediately waved his hand and asked someone to bring a bonfire. “Come on, send the God off!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch from the East Factory immediately lit the firewood. A raging fire broke out and soon engulfed Zhu Wusi’s body.

Qin Fan silently pulled Yun Luo behind him and stared at the surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, a figure dropped from the sky and headed straight towards Cao Zhengchun.

Fortunately, Cao Zhengchun reacted quickly and raised his hand to repel the intruder.

As the man landed, he was instantly surrounded by a group of Dongchang banners.

“I was wondering who it was? It turned out to be Duan Tianya, the top spy of Hulong Villa. What? Where are the other two spies? Call them out. This is a good opportunity to catch all of you remaining accomplices in one fell swoop!”

Cao Zhengchun walked forward slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce sword energy came down with a bang, directly splitting the burning bonfire. Then, several ghostly figures emerged from the ground, carrying the corpses behind them and flew to the top of the wall.

“The Four Ghosts of Western Hunan? Wan Sanqian? So you were involved in this as well?”

When Cao Zhengchun saw those people, his smile became even brighter.

Wan Sanqian is the richest man in the Ming Dynasty. For many years, the East Factory has been wanting to take action against them, but Zhu Wusi protected him. Now that Zhu Wusi’s rebellion has become a fact, these people jumping out will undoubtedly be walking into a trap.

Finally, Cao Zhengchun had caught them with evidence, so how could he let them go?
Cao Zhengchun waved his hand, and the troops from the East Factory surrounded him instantly.

“Catch them, dead or alive!”

Cao Zhengchun shouted loudly and rushed towards the four ghosts from western Hunan.

Cao Zhengchun already possessed the cultivation of a grandmaster, which made him more than capable of dealing with the four ghosts from western Hunan. However, those four men did not dodge or evade when facing Cao Zhengchun.

Just as Cao Zhengchun approached the four of them, Zhu Wusi suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand and slapped Cao Zhengchun right in the chest.

Cao Zhengchun was not prepared for the dead man Zhu Wusi, and when he was hit by this palm, he flew backwards instantly.

“You’re not dead?”

Cao Zhengchun looked shocked and full of disbelief.

“Humph, you eunuch want to frame me, but I won’t die so easily.”

Zhu Wusi snorted coldly, flew forward and went straight towards Cao Zhengchun.

But his eyes fell on Qin Fan who was standing beside him.

Princess Yunluo was also shocked by the scene.

“Zhu Wusi is not dead?”

“Tell my brother about this as soon as possible!”

As Yun Luo was speaking, he suddenly felt the ground shaking. Countless deep pits suddenly appeared around the Zen temple, and those people from the East Factory fell into them one by one.

Qin Fan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He hugged Yun Luo and jumped high into the air.

But just as he gained his footing, Duan Tianya rushed forward.

The sword energy was everywhere, and countless sword lights intertwined into a net, enveloping Qin Fan.

But at this moment, behind Qin Fan, Yagyu Tamagami flew up, used a killing move and slashed with a sword, instantly breaking the sword light in front of him.

Ever since Zhu Wusi’s death, the whereabouts of the three secret agents of Hulong Villa have been unknown.

Haitang originally followed Qin Fan and others, but after returning to the capital, the girl took the opportunity to slip away.

Qin Fan saw all of this, and that was why he suspected that Zhu Wusi was not dead.

Those people are all Zhu Wusi’s confidants. Since they are still taking action, it must mean that someone is behind them.

Qin Fanke never relaxed his vigilance against them.

At this moment, letting Yagyu Tajima-no-kami take action is also to let this old guy take revenge.

After all, his son and daughter both died at the hands of Duan Tianya.
