Chapter 85 Catching wind and shadow Jiangxi Moon

May [-]st.

Prime Minister's House.

rainy night.

The prime minister and several of his men, wearing raincoats and holding lanterns, read a line of words written on the door of his house.

"Jiangxi is approaching the end of the month, please be prepared to welcome it."

There is also a smiley face drawn behind this line of text.

The Prime Minister looked at this line of writing and frowned.

Who is Jiang Xiyue? Of course he has heard of it, the number one thief in Northern Zhao Kingdom.There is nothing Jiang Xiyue can't steal that he wants to steal.

But the name has been dormant for several years.There are many rumors in the world. Some say that he has withdrawn from the world. Some say that he was secretly executed. Some say that he was arrested for some other reason. He cannot escape from prison. He can only hide his identity and wait for his release before re-entering the world.There are many rumors, but there is no conclusion.

The only thing that is certain is the most obvious one, he has not appeared in all these years.

But why come to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?

The prime minister couldn't figure it out.

The steward next to him said to the prime minister.

"Master, it's still raining heavily, so let's go inside first. Even if something really happens, we can go inside and talk later."

"Then go back first."

The prime minister spoke, and the butler escorted the prime minister into the room under an umbrella. At the same time, he turned around and gestured to the other men, instructing them to deal with the writing on the wall.

After entering the house, the stove had been turned up and the room was very warm. Several servants took care of the Prime Minister's wet clothes, and then the Prime Minister sat on the chair and continued to worry.

His life was really not peaceful these days.

It stands to reason that as a prime minister, he should have a life of doing whatever he wants, but the problem lies with his only son.

The prime minister's wife died in childbirth after giving birth to his son.Although he has several concubines, he has not given birth to any other children in these years.Regarding this, he gradually felt relieved. After all, there was already a son in the family who could carry on the family lineage.

In the first few years, when he thought he could still live again, he would discipline the child well.At some gatherings, this kid really shines and is amazing.But realizing that he might only have this one child, the prime minister became particularly doting on him.No matter what the child did, his status as "the prime minister's only son" was enough to keep him away from all dangers and punishments.

Under such circumstances, it is really impossible to teach any good children.In terms of talent and appearance, the prime minister's son does have it, and it's not low, but in terms of character, he's just not that good.

Bullying men and dominating women is a daily routine, killing and setting fires is a hobby.

A few years later, people from Prince Mu's Mansion suddenly came to the Prime Minister to propose marriage.At that time, the two children were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and they were said to be old enough to get married, but the Prime Minister really looked down on Prince Mu's Mansion.

A few years later, the prime minister realized that the reputation of his children was really not very good. Although he was the prime minister, not many came to propose marriage.A down-and-out prince like Prince Mu's Mansion can be considered a good person.

I don’t know what’s going on in Prince Mu’s Mansion, but I just wanted to marry my daughter over.The Prime Minister felt that this was probably because Prince Mu wanted to use the Prime Minister's power to ensure the future of Prince Mu's Mansion.

So, in exchange for half of Prince Mu's property, the prime minister agreed to the marriage and waited for a good day for the two parties to get married.

But at this time, the prime minister's son got into trouble again.Usually, the rape of civilian girls has been dealt with, but this time it was a bit big.The prime minister's son stole the wife of the second-in-command of a local gang.

This gang is quite powerful, and the Prime Minister cannot just wipe it out casually. It will cause big problems. He can only do his best to suppress it and get his son married as soon as possible.

A few days after the betrothal gift was delivered, he heard the news from the spy stationed in Prince Mu's Mansion that the princess had escaped from the marriage.

He was no longer calm now.It is really troublesome to find a new family to get married at this time.Therefore, he could only send out men to find the princess.

The prime minister thought that if he could find the princess, he would bring her back directly to get married, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

A few days later, the informants of Prince Mu's Mansion once again received news that they had found a group of bandits, and that Prince Mu's Mansion had sent a team of Nine Dragon Sons, and the leader also went with them.

This lineup, if the Prime Minister's Mansion sends people, will give people heads.He could only stare, since the engagement was still there anyway.

The princess who had been humiliated by the bandits was more useful to them. Anyway, what the prime minister wanted was never the marriage itself, but also the benefits that this matter could bring to him.

The problem started when the unknown woman brought the princess to break off the engagement.

The Prime Minister has never seen such a thing before, he looks like an unreasonable overlord.The most annoying thing is that this woman can still make a deal with Zhenren Xifeng.

When he first found this group of immortal cultivators, the prime minister just wanted to learn some immortal techniques to prolong his life.For a person of his status in the team, living a long life is more important than anything else.

As a result, these people were able to get along with the Prime Minister.It's the same thing to eat and drink for nothing, to spend the prime minister's money without treating the prime minister as his equal.In their eyes, the prime minister is no different from those servants.

When he realized this, the Prime Minister also thought about driving them away, but these were people who could wipe out half of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a wave of his hand, so there was nothing he could do.

Regarding the matter of breaking off the engagement, Master Xifeng made a deal and nodded. , Prime Minister, can you not listen?
Then just listen.

The prime minister has become numb to how much he has suffered in this matter.

What happened the next day made the Prime Minister unable to become numb even if he wanted to.

His only son died.

The gang's second-in-command took action anyway.

The second-in-command never thought about escaping, but was caught next to the corpse.

This matter was originally very simple. The angry prime minister only had to lock up the second-in-command through government procedures and then find another death row prisoner to replace him, so that the prime minister could take the person away and slowly torture him in secret. Although the dead person cannot be resurrected, it can relieve his anger. It's enough.

The only flaw was that when he was locked up and not taken away by the prime minister, the emperor heard about this incident and decided to make some use of it.

The emperor has been thinking about the Five Bright Cities of Southern Wei for more than a day or two, and Southern Wei also knows it, so he doesn't give Northern Zhao any reason for war.

If there is no reason, then create a reason.

"In order to weaken the strength of Northern Zhao, the Southern Wei State sent spies to assassinate the prime minister's only son." What a good reason.

What else can the Prime Minister say?Tell the truth?So how can the emperor start a war?
Not only did he want to accept this result, but he also wanted to thank the emperor for finding out the truth, and also begged the emperor to send troops to attack Southern Wei.

Just a few days after the funeral, the Prime Minister's grief had not yet passed when he saw Jiang Xiyue's message at the door of his house.

"God wants me to die..."

The prime minister was talking to himself, and the steward next to him heard it and hurriedly stepped forward to speak.

"Why did you say that? That message might just be a prank. There's no need to take it to heart."

"Whether it's true or not, that's not the point. The point is that someone actually dared to attack me and the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"That's easy to handle, sir."

"Tell me how this is easy to handle?"

The butler took another step forward and spoke to the prime minister.

"No matter who has ideas about the Prime Minister's Mansion, let's just arrest him, right? If the person who comes is really that Jiangxi Yue who is chasing wind and shadow, this matter will be over, and it can be told to the world, even Jiangxi Yue wanted to attack us, but he was also arrested. If it is really some other force that wants to take advantage of the pain of losing his son to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion, if we catch that person, we can kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."

"...When you put it that way, it's quite simple."

The Prime Minister smiled.This is true, but there are too many loopholes.

he asked the steward again.

"Then tell me. How to catch him? If it's really the person who borrowed Jiang Xiyue's name, it would be easy to handle, but if it's really Jiang Xiyue himself who is here. In any case, he is the number one thief. No matter how hard it is to catch someone, If we fail to catch him, can we, the Prime Minister's Mansion, do it?"

"Of course. We have immortal cultivators here." The butler woke up the dreamer.

What is the identity of a cultivator?
This world is divided into two parts, one is the world of mortals, and the other is the world of immortal cultivators.In terms of numbers, there are hundreds of times more mortals than cultivators.Starting from strength, more than 100 Nascent Soul cultivators are enough to destroy the entire mortal world.

But such a gap in strength is still preserved in the mortal world.This is very unreasonable.

It's just that no one thinks about it.

What they saw was just the disdain of the immortal cultivators towards mortals.That look is always the look a mortal would have when looking at an ant.

So they want to catch a thief who can't be caught by mortals without any effort.

Just as the prime minister was happy, his expression suddenly changed and he sighed.

"It's difficult to get them to do something for me."

The Prime Minister has completely given up on those people who care about the problems encountered by the Prime Minister.

However, if the Prime Minister's Mansion encounters a disaster, the Prime Minister is confident that he can get those immortal cultivators to take action.After all, it is difficult for them to find such a good place.

"Is it possible to tell them that if this thief is not caught, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be destroyed?"

The prime minister was talking to himself again, and the housekeeper spoke quickly.

"Of course there's no need. It's unbelievable that a thief can destroy the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, we can borrow a knife to kill people."

"What do you mean?"

"What if what Jiang Xiyue wants to deal with is not the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the group of immortal cultivators?"

The Prime Minister nodded.

real?Fake?It doesn't matter, the Prime Minister just needs to make them believe it.

Without further ado, the Prime Minister went to the backyard, where the three cultivators lived.

He went to knock on the door and there was a sound coming from inside the house.

"Who?"

"Dear immortal masters, it's me."

The Prime Minister revealed his identity, but the door still did not open, and the sound continued to come.

"It's late, let's talk about anything tomorrow."

"Dear immortal masters, this is really an emergency."

After saying it again, the Prime Minister saw the door open.The door opened by Nanfeng Zhenren.

"If you have anything to say, please tell me, we have business to do."

"There is a thief who left a message outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that he will come to deal with you."

"What a joke, what kind of thief dares to deal with us? Don't they know our identity?"

"I don't know your identities, how could he suddenly come to you? You can read the writing on the wall outside."

Nanfeng thought for a while, then called the other two people in the room, and the three of them followed the prime minister out.

The rain was still falling, but there was no rain on these three people. All the rainwater was bounced away before it touched them.

When they arrived at the door, they saw the servants cleaning the writing on the wall.

"Who asked you to wipe it off?"

The butler immediately cursed.Several servants also knew that they were taking the blame.

At this time, the writing on the wall was no longer clear, and some strokes could still be vaguely seen.

The Prime Minister also said quickly.

"The words on the wall were originally..."

"You don't need to say anything, I'm sorry you don't dare to lie to us."

Master Dongfeng said so.

Then, he said to the prime minister.

"Come on, tell us who this thief is and how dare he attack us."

After saying that, they all entered the house.

Although the prime minister knew about Jiangxi Yue, he didn't know much about it. The butler who had been in the Jianghu industry knew a lot about it, and it was he who told the three immortal cultivators in detail.

After talking about who Jiang Xiyue was, the three immortal cultivators laughed.

"I thought he was some kind of powerful character, just a mortal who knows how to punch and kick. Does such a person also want to deal with us?"

After hearing what Master Nanfeng said, the Prime Minister continued to answer.

"This person is not ordinary. The more impossible it is to steal, the more he wants to steal it. And there is nothing he can't steal."

"But if he wants to steal from us, it can only be said that he has a bad mind. And what do we have? Our six roots are pure and we have broken away from the world of mortals. We don't have anything valuable on us."

"But I'm not sure. What he's thinking about is your stuff. The magic weapons in that warehouse."

The prime minister finally said this, and the three immortal cultivators all became serious.

Everything else was easy to say. They didn't care if they stole the Prime Minister's Mansion, but those magic weapons were something they had collected with great effort over the years.Three middle-grade Xuan-level magic weapons were traded away by Master Xifeng, which was already a huge loss.

They can't lose any more magic weapons.

Master Dongfeng was silent for a while, and then laughed again.

"In the final analysis, he is just a mortal. If he really sneaks up here, it's okay if we are unprepared. But with such a big fanfare and advance notice, doesn't it make it clear that he wants to be arrested by us?"

"That's right. It's just a thief. If we, who are at the Void Core stage, can't catch him, could he be the Immortal Master?"

Nanfeng said the same thing, and the three of them laughed again.

Now, the Prime Minister was relieved.

Next, they just need to be prepared, wait for the Jiangxi Yue to arrive, and then capture him.

Jiang Li, who was eavesdropping in the room, muttered inwardly.

How come they know everything?

I really want to steal something from this warehouse. After all, there were two red-glowing objects that I couldn't take away last time.The purpose of writing this in the Prime Minister's Mansion was to confuse the public. How did they find out?
And he can indeed be the Immortal Lord.

Jiang Li sighed.

The first time you do it, you can't fail. (End of chapter)
