Phantom Spear - C182

Previously, he mentioned: Faang Xinyao thought of something and came to the city gate. General Jin ordered his subordinates to stop Faang Xinyao and bring her over to wait for Lu Jianfei’s return. However, after Faang Xinyao conversed with the four soldiers, he was certain that the Master Lu they were talking about was definitely Liu Shichen’s henchmen. She could not be caught again, so she quickly escaped towards the crowd of people without anyone noticing. After passing through a few streets, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked Faang Xinyao’s path. Facing this situation where there was a wolf in front of him and a tiger behind him, Faang Xinyao felt fear and trepidation in her heart. However, Jiang Feng actually appeared, reassuring him, and said that Lu Jianfei didn’t have any evil intentions. Even if there was a chance, he would risk his life to protect Faang Xinyao.

Lu Jianfei brought Jiang Feng and Faang Xinyao to a famous restaurant in the capital, paid a deposit of fifty silver and rented a room. The waiter served them an entire table of good dishes. Faang Xinyao stared fixedly at Lu Jianfei, she was afraid that he would try something funny. Jiang Feng had never seen the usually calm Faang Xinyao’s current unease, so he could understand her current feelings. Jiang Feng sat beside Faang Xinyao and said softly, “Lady Faang, you don’t have to worry. What happened just now was in a hurry, I forgot to tell you. This Master Lu is the leader of the Imperial Bodyguard s of the Emperor. When Faang Xinyao heard that Lu Jianfei was actually the emperor’s personal bodyguard, she couldn’t help but be shocked and ask, “What? You said this Master Lu is someone of the Emperor? Big Brother Chiang, is that true? ” Jiang Feng nodded his head with certainty and said: “Lady Faang, since I’m with him now, you should know that he’s not Liu Shichen’s subordinate. Calm down first, think about it carefully.” That was the reason why she was at such a loss as to why Faang Xinyao was troubled over the true events of today.

Faang Xinyao sighed deeply. She was very disappointed with herself and couldn’t help but shake her head. Lu Jianfei saw that Faang Xinyao’s expression was not panicking, and her heart was slowly sinking, he opened his mouth and asked: “Faang Xinyao, can I speak now?” Faang Xinyao looked at him, Lu Jianfei’s face was imposing, but his righteous aura was not a fake. Faang Xinyao bowed and smiled apologetically: “Sorry, Master Lu, I misunderstood you just now, that’s why I …” Lu Jianfei interrupted her and said: “Alright, I have already guessed these things, but don’t reveal my identity on the street, Jiang Feng also did not say anything, you are currently in a dangerous situation, it is normal for you to be worried about me, I will not care about these things. “Come, drink this hot tea for the rest of your life to calm your nerves.” Faang Xinyao nodded and did as she was told, she asked carefully: “Master Lu, my father, he, is he alright?” Lu Jianfei looked at Faang Xinyao’s concerned eyes, and thought to himself: I have such a daughter, I have no regrets in my life, but it is a pity that I am destined to never have another daughter, and now I am regretting that I did not get married and have children. He was afraid that he would lose his composure so he hurriedly retracted his thoughts and said, “A few days ago, I received orders from the Emperor to go to the deepest part of your father’s Celestial Prison to visit him. However, I don’t know if he’s well or not.” Hearing him say that, Faang Xinyao became a little confused, and asked: “Didn’t Master Lu go to see my father, why didn’t he know if he was well or not? Could it be that my father has been unconscious this entire time, and is he sick?” Lu Jianfei saw that she was moved and and indicated for her to sit down quietly. Jiang Feng also pulled at the corner of her clothes, causing Faang Xinyao to stop her impulse and sit down.

Lu Jianfei slowly said: “I am indeed going to see your father, but I have yet to personally witness your father’s situation, so I cannot lie to you. Because he is outside of the cell that I am holding him in, and because he is inside, I do not have a key, so the key to imprisoning your father’s Celestial Prison is only for the emperor. The prison warden can only open a small door to send water and food to him, so he cannot see your father’s actual situation. However, looking at the many years of martial cultivation that I have been practicing, your father should be in good spirits. Other than the fact that the oppressive dead atmosphere within the Celestial Prison may cause people to feel a little haggard, there shouldn’t be any other major problems. That’s why, sometimes I really admire the Master Faang. He was born a scholar, and to have such a strong body, it’s truly not easy. ” At first, Faang Xinyao was worried that her father would suffer in prison, but now, she finally understood the general situation, so she did not have to think too much. Faang Xinyao said: “Actually, my father is very busy with official matters, but he still insists on training his body every day, although he does not know martial arts, his body is still strong. This time, when he was brought to the capital, for no reason, I do not know how much I have to worry about, I have not seen my father for over two months. Lu Jianfei put down the teacup and said: “You want to meet your father?” Faang Xinyao nodded her head heavily, and said: “Yes, I want to meet my father.” Lu Jianfei’s expression changed, and said: “Impossible, don’t think about it, at least not now.” Faang Xinyao asked, “Why?” Lu Jianfei looked at Faang Xinyao, and said sternly: “Your father is now the criminal in charge of the imperial court, he has yet to investigate the matter of him being greedy and stealing the law, how could I allow you to meet him?” Faang Xinyao suddenly said: “My father doesn’t, my father is a Qing official, he is a good person, he loves the people, and he doesn’t believe it. You can send someone to Hangzhou to investigate, my father and the previous Prefect are both good officials.” Faang Xinyao had only mentioned the previous Prefect of Hangzhou unintentionally, luckily, at that time Lu Jianfei was only a small constable in the capital and did not know much about the matters of the imperial court. The previous Prefect of Hangzhou was her father, Jiang Cheng Jiang Tianzhen. Jiang Feng wiped the tea off the corner of his mouth and said: “I accidentally choked on it just now, I am truly sorry.” Lu Jianfei did not care too much about Jiang Feng’s actions and only said: “Lady Faang, I do not know what kind of person your father is, but since the Emperor wants to protect your father’s life, this means that the Emperor sees his accomplishments in his accomplishments, and the Emperor knows that your father is a talent, so he does not want a good person to be killed so wrongly by Liu Shichen. However, as for the matter of stealing and stealing, I think that nothing will come out of nowhere. There must be something wrong with your father. ” Faang Xinyao lowered his head and said, “It must be Liu Shichen. He was the one who framed my father.” Lu Jianfei indicated for her to whisper. Although this room was the furthest from the other room, he was afraid that there might be other people around. Lu Jianfei lowered his voice and said: “Even so, Liu Shichen still does not have enough reliable evidence to prove that your father is truly a greedy person, but at the same time, your father also cannot clear his name, so we remain in a stalemate. Liu Shichen wholeheartedly wanted your father to die quickly, but the emperor had to do his utmost to protect him. In order to prevent any accidents that your father might encounter in the ordinary prisons, the emperor specifically locked him up in the capital’s Celestial Prison, which was specially guarded by the imperial guards. On the surface, he said that he wanted your father to be executed, because normally no one who has locked in the Celestial Prison can possibly walk out. At that time, the Young Master Liu also guessed that the emperor did it to protect the Master Faang. She himself was a smart person, so after hearing it, he was not surprised at all, and said faintly, “Master Lu, then will the emperor really not kill my father?” However, Lu Jianfei shook his head and said, “No one will know about this. The Emperor himself does not know, and neither does Liu Shichen. Jiang Feng was a little impatient. He thought to himself, since the emperor wants to leave the Master Faang in the service of the imperial government, why can’t we still protect him? He then said, “The authority to make a living or die is in the hands of the emperor alone, even if we don’t release the Master Faang, why can’t we promise to protect his life?” Lu Jianfei looked at Jiang Feng and said: “When I spoke of the Drill Ground of North Suburb last time, you had already memorized everything the emperor said to you. “There are some things that I cannot say now, but the emperor alone cannot make this decision. Thus, I advise all of you to prepare for the worst.

What about later?

And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
