Chapter 33: See how my art

The next day, in the corner of the capital, there was an inconspicuous and dilapidated courtyard in the inner room.

"The adoptive father, just now, the demon assassin we captured who assassinated the saint was beheaded in public by us, and no accomplices appeared to rescue him."

A strong woman was kneeling on one knee and reporting to an old man who couldn't see his face clearly: "Our people have almost controlled the situation. During this night, the situation in the capital has been roughly stable, but those old opponents are still unwilling to lose, and are still operating in secret. They even sent a lot of people to try to dispatch troops outside, adoptive father, otherwise... we will not stop doing it..."

"Those people are old ministers of the Ming Dynasty. If you spread them all the time today, I, Wei Zhongxian, will really become a rebellion tomorrow. Are you doing it for my own good or do you want me to die soon?"

The old man sitting in the shadow of this side room was Wei Zhongxian. His hair and beard were white, his face was withered, and he was wearing a white robe. He sat in the shadows like a ghost, and only his eyes were still sucking in the darkness, like the cold light in the eyes of a poisonous snake, extremely terrifying.

His adopted daughter Wei Yan changed color slightly when she heard this and snatched the ground with her head: "Enjoyed Father, I have no intention."

"Don't worry, we can plan all this slowly..." Wei Zhongxian sat in the shadow with a deep look, "Before, who would have thought that I would have fallen like this? Who would have thought that Emperor Chongzhen, who would have been killed by the rioters overnight? Who would have thought that Emperor Chongzhen would have been killed by the turbulent demons and madmen? Who would have thought that Emperor Chongzhen would have been dead, and I, a 'dead man' would have survived?"

Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian sat in the darkness and laughed coldly, his voice terrifyingly, like a ghost screaming.

His adopted daughter Wei Yan's body was trembling slightly, but she just said, "Then... the child is unclear. Since that's the case, why did the adoptive father surrender here and not come forward to take charge of the overall situation in person?"

"There are many methods in this group of demons. The one we had in the Jiaofangsi before, we sent so many people to escape. The one who assassinated Emperor Chongzhen before was even more mediocre, but with special means, they could silently pass through the numerous guards and approach the emperor. I don't know how many of these "demons" are, but most of them are killed with the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang. You said, if I appear, will I... become the target?" Wei Zhongxian's voice was cold, and he said, "Although I have a heavy weight, I have a hard time," Wei Zhongxian said in a cold voice, "I have a strong voice, too."

I value protection, but I don’t know how to do martial arts, and I can’t compare to the Emperor’s elders in terms of defense. If those demons really want to kill me, I will probably die as soon as I show up. Therefore, I will never show up. No one would have thought that my dignified Wei Zhongxian would hide in such a broken courtyard of the civilian family. The capital is so big that as long as I don’t come forward, who can find me? So, daughter, I want you to do it on my behalf. Moreover, seize the time to gather troops and search for the remaining demons in the city, and they will inevitably arrest them all one by one."

Wei Yan Yingnuo, finally hesitated for a moment, and asked: "The adoptive father, the child dared to ask - these demons who are rampant in the capital, and their strange techniques are all true. Could it be that it is really a demon who came to the world and caused trouble to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Fart." Wei Zhongxian slapped the handrail heavily and said with a slight angrily, "That's nothing more than having to deal with the alchemist, causing trouble to me and my Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, yes, yes, foster father calmed down." Wei Yan didn't know why his foster father was so angry, but he still slightly nodded and retreated repeatedly, "The boy took his leave."

What Wei Yan couldn't see was that in the shadow, Wei Zhongxian's hand holding the armrest of the seat was also shaking slightly.

He was just angry, not because of anger, but because of fear.

He could see his fear when he hid here. He was an ancient man. No matter how ambitious he was, he was afraid of the existence of demons. He also heard a lot of rumors. Everyone kept saying that the chaos in the capital was the result of the heavenly punishment brought by the eunuch party. Therefore, how could Wei Zhongxian not panic and guilty?

But Wei Zhongxian is also a figure. This panic was suppressed by him. After a moment, he adjusted his mind and breathed a sigh of relief.

From last night to the present, the chaos in the capital has been going on all night. Although most of the chaos comes from the struggles of the powerful and powerful in the capital, Wei Zhongxian has been paying attention to the movements of the demons. They are killing for no reason and seem to be fighting each other. To this day, there seems to be no more people left in total.

Wei Zhongxian also has confidence in his hiding. He could hide the truth from the emperor's investigation before, let alone now?

He believed that no one could find his place.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian let out a long breath, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes slightly, intending to enjoy this moment of tranquility.

However, as soon as his eyes closed, he heard a light sound suddenly in the house.

Wei Zhongxian opened his eyes like lightning and saw the teapot he placed on the table suddenly move.

In the dark room, there was clearly no one, but the teapot was silent and automatically poured out a cup of tea.

Wei Zhongxian rubbed his eyes and looked over again. He really didn't see anyone, but Zhen Man's tea cup was shaking and "flew out of thin air".

Wei Zhongxian's surprise was extraordinary. He pointed to the direction of the teacup: "You, you, you...Who is there?!"

"Of course it's what you said...the demon."

The response was quite quickly and it sounded in the audience. It was a slightly frivolous young voice. Then, in Wei Zhongxian's inexplicable horror, the empty place actually appeared out of thin air, with a teacup, looking at him with a smile.

Wei Zhongxian took a breath, but calmed down: "How did you come in? Do you believe it or not, I shouted, can the Jinyiwei outside rushed in and dismember you?"

"How did I come in? Of course I walked in." This young man was of course Fang Wei. He had just been wearing an invisible cloak. Of course, Wei Zhongxian couldn't see him, but Wei Zhongxian's light color was OK, so he calmed down in a moment.

Wei Zhongxian's face changed slightly and he said, "Hehe, you have never heard of the arts, it is just a matter of using the darkness of the room and the smoke to cause chaos."

As he said that, he had stood up from his position, and his momentum gradually became stronger, as if he wanted to call someone.

Fang Wei was not shocked and said with a smile: "Is that so? Then you can see if this is my magic--"
