Chapter 98 Shocking Identity of the Insider

"Thank you for your help, Lord Pei." The old eunuch's feminine voice sounded, and he smiled and said to Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing smiled modestly, "You are too polite, eunuch."

It can be said that when Pei Xuanjing and the old eunuch attacked Du Chongyun together, everything had been decided. This time, the assassination of Maitreya would end in failure.

Not to mention the loss of ordinary believers, the death of two first-grade warriors, two second-grade warriors, and seven third-grade masters and pseudo-masters has already caused Maitreya to suffer heavy losses, which is almost half of their masters on the surface.

However, in this assassination, their side also suffered a lot of losses. Xuanwu, one of the four commanders of Jinyiwei, died in battle, a master and a pseudo-master of Dongchang died in battle, and a pseudo-master of Xichang died in battle.

And some other masters, although they did not lose their lives, they also suffered a lot of injuries. For example, Qingyangzi was severely injured by Du Chongyang, a first-grade warrior. Although his foundation was not damaged, he inevitably lost most of his combat effectiveness.

The number of wounded Jinyiwei below the third rank was even greater, and many of them lost their lives.

Lin Qingyi was very lucky this time. Not only was he not injured in the assassination, but he was also inspired when he joined forces with others to fight against a master martial artist, and seemed to have signs of realizing the true meaning of martial arts.

After experiencing this huge storm, even though the emperor's carriage was intact and the emperor was not hurt, it was obvious that the emperor's idea of ​​going on tour was interrupted.

When the news of the emperor's assassination was reported back to Tiandu, the ministers of Tiandu immediately made a decision that the emperor could not continue the tour and wanted to stop this tour.

Faced with the obstruction of the whole hall, even the emperor could not act recklessly and continue to be willful, and he also knew that the injuries of the guards around him could not support his actions.

However, the emperor did not want to return to Tiandu so easily, but took the opportunity to enter Xuanfu Town, one of the important towns.

After seeing that the emperor was no longer on tour and entered Xuanfu Town, a military town, with great security, the officials in the court had some complaints about this, but they finally compromised.

After the emperor entered Xuanfu Town, the local governor and general officer were naturally responsible for the security of the periphery. Pei Xuanjing and others did not need to be as vigilant as before, and their tasks were much easier.

After this assassination, Pei Xuanjing personally killed a first-class warrior, which naturally established his supreme reputation.

The emperor not only summoned him for this, but also gave him a large reward. After learning that his magic weapon was destroyed in this battle, he promised to give him a better magic weapon as compensation.

Unfortunately, these rewards and compensations from the emperor can only be fulfilled after returning to Tiandu. For Pei Xuanjing, it is not enough to quench his thirst.

However, there are few magic weapons that have been refined for thousands of years, but in this important town of Xuanfu, there are still many magic weapons of the 100-fold level.

After seeing Pei Xuanjing's strength, Jiang Bin's desire to win him over became even more intense. As soon as he arrived at the important town of Xuanfu, he found a 100-fold sword for Pei Xuanjing to use temporarily.

It was not only Jiang Bin who tried to win over Pei Xuanjing. Zhang Yong, the supervisor of the East Factory, and Gu Dayong, the supervisor of the West Factory, also gave Pei Xuanjing a 100-fold sword under the pretext of repaying Pei Xuanjing's rescue.

Facing the gifts from these three people, Pei Xuanjing accepted them calmly, but did not express his opinion on their intention to win him over.

Now he has stood at the top level of the Ming Dynasty and is qualified to not choose a team for the time being.

On an unnamed hill, Pei Xuanjing stood on it, with his hands behind his back, facing the cool autumn wind, and his robe rustling.

He looked far into the distance, taking in the entire Xuanfu City, feeling a bit like a bird's-eye view of the world.

"Master Pei!"

Jiang Bin changed into his casual clothes, which was rare. He climbed up the mountain and came behind Pei Xuanjing.

Lin Qingyi led some Jinyiwei who were also dressed in casual clothes, guarding hundreds of feet away from the two.

"Why is Lord Jiang so polite? Just call me as usual." Pei Xuanjing said indifferently, and then he turned around and said loudly: "I have never discovered such a beautiful mountain and river, which is magnificent. I couldn't help myself for a while, but I neglected Lord Jiang."

"In this case, Brother Pei, don't call me Lord Jiang in the future. I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, how about we call each other brothers?" Jiang Bin said with a smile.

Pei Xuanjing laughed: "Brother Jiang."

Jiang Bin's eyes flashed with joy, and he sighed: "Brother Pei, you are too kind. There is no neglect. It is reasonable to immerse yourself in such a beautiful scenery."

He took a few steps forward, and the two stood side by side, facing the autumn wind, looking at this beautiful mountain and river.

"Brother Jiang invited me today, I don't know what it is about." Pei Xuanjing looked into the distance and spoke lightly.

Originally, he was practicing in the mansion, but received a message from Lin Qingyi that Jiang Bin invited him to meet.

And he didn't come to Xuanfu City, but came to this nameless hill.

Pei Xuanjing thought that he had received so many benefits from others before, so he couldn't turn his face and recognize him immediately, so he accepted the invitation.

Jiang Bin waved his hand, took out a piece of letter from his arms and handed it over: "This matter is not urgent. Brother, take a look at the things on it first."

Pei Xuanjing was puzzled, but he also took the letter and unfolded it to read.

After a while, a hint of coldness appeared at the corners of Pei Xuanjing's mouth, and murderous intent emerged from his body, but it disappeared in an instant.

"It turned out to be him. I didn't expect it. Did you get this from the people in the underworld?" He asked with a surprised tone.

The news on the letter was nothing else but clues about Pei Xuanjing's assassination and the assassination of the emperor not long ago.

From the clues Jiang Bin got, the mastermind behind these clues was Qian Ning, a big shot in the Jinyiwei, Jiang Bin's immediate superior, the emperor's confidant, and the commander of the Jinyiwei.

Even though it was known that someone in the Jinyiwei was colluding with the Maitreya Sect in the underworld, that person was still in a high position. But no one thought that the other party would be Qian Ning.

Jiang Bin nodded and said, "In addition, there is also news from the hidden man in the Maitreya Sect."

When he first got the news, Jiang Bin was more shocked than Pei Xuanjing.

Although the two were opponents, they were both confidants of the emperor. He never thought that Qian Ning would dare to do such a thing.

Hearing Jiang Bin's words, Pei Xuanjing nodded in agreement.

With the power of the Jinyiwei, how could they not infiltrate forces like Maitreya?

What he didn't know was that for these news, the Jinyiwei's hidden agents suffered heavy losses, and were almost uprooted by the Maitreya people.

However, for Jiang Bin, being able to obtain such important news was worth it.

"Does Brother Jiang have any concerns?" Pei Xuanjing asked puzzledly.

In his opinion, since the identity of the other party has been confirmed, the next step is to follow the clues.

With Jiang Bin's identity, he only needs to hand these things to the emperor. Even if he cannot convict the other party immediately, it is enough to plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart.

Other officials may still have concerns, but for the emperor's retainers such as the factory guards, everything they have depends on the trust of the emperor. If they lose the trust of the emperor, they will have nothing.

Jiang Bin smiled bitterly: "Things are not that simple."
