This way, we can seize the opportunity to attack Wei Yuan!
Zhang Feng's words hit the nail on the head regarding what the Earl of Pingyuan was thinking.
In fact, this is exactly the situation that Emperor Yuanjing wanted to see.
He did not want to directly confront Wei Yuan and cause turmoil in the court.
They also wanted to exploit the officials' resentment towards the Wei family, using them to test and weaken the Wei family's power.
"In that case, each of us should quickly send out our top experts and strong warriors."
I refuse to believe that I can't even take down a little Wei Changxuan!
Once we catch him, we'll torture him severely; he'll surely reveal the whereabouts of our offspring!
The Earl of Pingyuan waved his hand and said firmly.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and after reaching a consensus, they hurriedly dispersed to prepare for their mission...
Chapter 26 Wei Yuan's Shock, Wei Changxuan's Strength!
The capital city, the night watchman's office.
Haoqi Tower.
When Yang Yan arrived at Haoqi Tower with Wei Changxuan, Xu Lingyue, Janet, Qingniao and others.
The night watchman at the gate immediately spoke respectfully.
"Young Master Wei, you're finally back! Master Wei is waiting for you upstairs!"
"Yes, thank you all for your help. These are my friends. Please help me arrange for them to stay in the reception room."
Upon hearing Wei Changxuan's words, one of the watchmen on duty immediately set aside to lead the way, guiding everyone toward the reception room.
Although the night watchmen were a mixed bag, Janet and Bluebird were there.
Even if Jinluo comes looking for trouble, we are not afraid at all.
After settling the women in, Wei Changxuan led Yang Yan into the Haoqi Tower.
On the seventh floor of Haoqi Tower, a middle-aged man in a blue robe sat on a chessboard.
This person was wearing a sky-blue robe embroidered with intricate cloud patterns.
Her black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, her temples were frosty white, and her face was clean and beardless.
His eyes were deep, revealing the vicissitudes of time.
With one hand holding white pieces and the other holding black pieces, a fierce battle unfolds on the chessboard!
The crisp sound of the chess piece falling was exceptionally clear in the silent space.
Each sound seemed like a question from fate, causing one's heart to rise and fall with it.
Meanwhile, a man with a feminine appearance and a delicate, effeminate demeanor stood respectfully to the side.
This person was none other than Wei Yuan's adopted son, Nangong Qianrou.
"Uncle, you summoned me?"
After following Yang Yan to the seventh floor, Wei Changxuan looked at the man in blue before him with a sincere smile and a hint of respect.
After all, Wei Changxuan and Wei Yuan were related as uncle and nephew.
But they are more like father and son, or teacher and student.
"Ok!"
With a "snap," Wei Yuan's black chess piece landed steadily in his hand.
The sound was crisp and powerful, as if it had sealed an unchangeable fate on the chessboard.
Looking at his approaching nephew, Wei Changxuan,
A kind and friendly look appeared in Wei Yuan's eyes.
He had long regarded the nephew in front of him, whom he had raised with his own hands, as his own son.
Naturally, they also showed great care and concern.
"You all stand down!"
Upon hearing the order, Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan respectfully withdrew, leaving the entire seventh floor to Wei Yuan and Wei Changxuan, the uncle and nephew.
"Please sit down! You've heard about the major events that happened in the capital today, haven't you?"
Wei Yuan pointed to the chair opposite him, gesturing for Wei Changxuan to sit down, and said in a calm tone.
His gaze returned to the chessboard, and he gently picked up a white piece.
He seemed to be thinking about his next move, or perhaps he was carefully considering how to start the game.
"Uncle, are you referring to the disappearance of the offspring of those high-ranking officials?"
Although my nephew had a conflict with them when he was working at the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution).
However, this was definitely not done by my nephew!
"I know!"
Wei Yuan lifted the white piece and placed it steadily on the chessboard before speaking again.
"This matter does indeed seem a bit strange, but I have already sent the night watchman to investigate."
I believe the answer will come soon.
However, I called you here today not to have you investigate this matter!
It's to make you understand that those missing officials all believe you did it.
I have received word that His Majesty no longer wishes to concern himself with such personal matters.
Therefore, they tacitly approved of these officials' families causing trouble for you.
From now on, you will stay at the night watchman's office and not wander off.
His tone carried a hint of concern and worry, like a worried parent concerned about their child's safety.
After all, those people knew they couldn't deal with Wei Yuan, so they could only target Wei Changxuan.
Hearing his uncle's caring words, Wei Changxuan felt a warmth in his heart.
However, he is no longer someone who can be easily manipulated.
That old bastard Empress Zhen De and his incarnation Emperor Yuan Jing, he can't move now.
But dealing with their lackeys is more than enough.
“Uncle, I know you mean well, but I don’t plan to stay in the night watchman’s office forever.”
And even here, are there no other options for those people?
"I'm afraid that this will bring trouble upon you as well."
As soon as Wei Changxuan finished speaking, Wei Yuan frowned.
He thought Wei Changxuan was just showing off.
After all, Wei Changxuan had the Devouring Star Technique to conceal his strength, so no one else could detect his true strength.
In Wei Yuan's eyes, Wei Changxuan, who only possessed the strength of an eighth-rank official, was indeed safest among the night watchmen.
"Uncle, don't worry! I won't be reckless!"
I can't speak for other things based on my current abilities.
Absolutely invincible below the fourth rank of martial artist!
As Wei Changxuan spoke, a powerful aura emanated from his body.
A strange aura containing the energy of heaven and earth and the universe appeared before Wei Yuan. The aura was mysterious and powerful, making people feel awe.
Then a set of black armor appeared on Wei Changxuan, completely covering him.
The armor's lines were smooth yet rigid, perfectly fitting Wei Changxuan's physique and making him appear even more dashing and imposing.
At this moment, Wei Changxuan displayed a special power of heaven and earth and the universe.
In addition, there is its own strength and special suit of armor.
These things appeared right before my eyes.
Even Wei Yuan, the Great Feng military genius who had experienced the Battle of Shanhai—a battle filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood—couldn't help but show a look of shock...
Chapter 27 Xu Lingyue in danger, Zhu Chengzhu's arrogance!
Inside the Haoqi Tower, the tranquil atmosphere seemed to swallow up all sound.
Wei Changxuan's surging aura was like a turbulent tide, coming and going quickly, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The black god suit, which emanated a mysterious, eerie light, also flickered with a faint, shimmering glow.
He skillfully stored it away, concealing it in the void as if it had never existed.
At this moment, Wei Yuan stared intently at Wei Changxuan in front of him, the shock in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by deep doubt.
His brows furrowed slightly, forming several shallow lines, and his eyes were full of inquiry. After a brief pause, he slowly asked:
"Xuan'er? What is the origin of the cultivation technique you are currently practicing?"
His voice was deep and hoarse, carrying a hint of an elder's concern and curiosity for a younger generation.
Upon hearing his uncle's question, Wei Changxuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile. He replied unhurriedly:
"Uncle, due to some special circumstances, I obtained a special cultivation technique and a suit of armor."
The reasons for this are quite complex and difficult to explain in a short time.
Uncle, if you trust me, please don't ask any more questions.
All you need to know is that your nephew would never do anything to harm his uncle.
His voice was firm and sincere, each word carrying immense weight, and his eyes revealed unquestionable trust.
Wei Yuan gazed at Wei Changxuan quietly, his eyes filled with affection and contemplation.
After a moment, he slowly nodded, his eyes showing both complete trust in his nephew and a hint of apprehension about the unknown.
