According to the emperor's wishes, he should know who is behind the scenes and have the ability to punish the other party.

But, he didn't want to care.

"Emperor Dog, it's enough for me to pick up my sister-in-law. Now I don't even want to take care of the assassin who assassinated my sister-in-law. How can I be a father!"

An unknown fire welled up in Ren Pingsheng's heart, and he suppressed it to stop scolding his mother.

If the assassin's target is only himself, and the person behind the scenes is inextricably linked to the court.

The emperor was worried about dealing with the mastermind behind the scenes, causing unnecessary trouble, and it was understandable that he turned a deaf ear.

However, his sister-in-law was also one of the assassin's targets, and it is really hard to understand that he allowed the real murderer to go unpunished.

Thinking of a few days ago, in the study room of Qianqing Palace, the emperor looked very doting on his sister-in-law.

Ren Pingsheng was even more annoyed, and his original good impression of the emperor was gone.

"Check it out yourself, the assassin won't let me go just because I compromise.

If he really encounters something tough, the worst he can do is use Dao Zun's talisman and sneak back to the north. "

Ren Pingsheng was annoyed, but his face showed no expression. He looked at the eunuch and said seriously: "I don't believe it, but I am willing to continue investigating this matter."

Hearing this, the eunuch took out a token from his arms and presented it with both hands: "This token was given to the prince by the Holy One. Holding the token, the prince can, within certain authority, order the officers of the Suppression Division to cooperate with the prince in investigating the case."

Ren Pingsheng had no expression on his face, stretched out his hand to take the token, and said nothing.

"The Holy Spirit's decree has been delivered, and I will leave."

The eunuch didn't say much, bowed, turned and left.

After he left.

Ren Pingsheng looked at the token in his hand. It was black in color and engraved with complex patterns. Compared with the gold medal for entering the palace, it looked much simpler.

Within certain authority, you can order the agents of the Demon Suppression Division.

I don’t know how much permission a certain permission refers to.

It's definitely not possible to let them rebel. I don't know if it's possible to let them break into the imperial prison.

There are also the servants of the Demon Suppression Division.

I don’t know whether he is referring to those minions in the ninth and eighth grades, or Xiao Rongxue, Bai Ping, and Murong in the fifth grades.

"The effect of this token may be very large, or it may be very small. Whether it is large or small, we won't know until it is used."

Ren Pingsheng thought this and took the token back into his arms.

Counting the gold medal given by the emperor for entering the palace and the Jianghu Order given by Xiao Rongxue, there are already three tokens.

I don’t know if there will be more in the future.

Ren Shengsheng thought about it for a while, put aside the distracting thoughts, and seriously considered his current situation.

"A fourth-grade martial artist died, and the mastermind behind the scenes couldn't figure out my trump card, so he shouldn't act rashly in the short term.

The sister-in-law has already alerted her. As long as she stays in the palace and doesn't run around, she should be fine.

Of course, without knowing the identity and purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes, these are just guesses. There is no guarantee that the other party will not become crazy and insist on killing me, so during this period, we still cannot relax our vigilance. "

Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng took out the talisman given by Dao Zun from his arms and put it into his sleeve.

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.

This feeling of always being on guard against enemies was very unpleasant, but he had no other choice.

"In the end, it's still too weak. If I had my father's strength, I wouldn't have to think too much. Come on, kill one, come on, kill both! That would be so satisfying!"

Think of this.

Ren Shengsheng felt a surge of heart, full of fighting spirit and nowhere to vent, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Go back and find Xiao Rongxue for another fight!

More than half an hour later.

When Ren Pingsheng returned to Ren Mansion, his surging heartbeat had subsided, and his full will to fight had also dissipated.

The thought of having a fight with Xiao Rongxue turned into a fight with Chang An in the house.

anyway.

Xiao Rongxue said in the morning that she would have another spar when she came back.

I don’t know if she still remembers this.

Hope has been forgotten.

After all, I still want to save my energy and go see Chang An tomorrow morning to verify whether what Jiang Chuyue said is true.

If it is not true.

Ren Pingsheng recalled the collision last night, and his heart surged again.

After a while.

Ren Pingsheng stepped into the courtyard, expecting Xiao Rongxue to sharpen his knife and Huo Huo Xiang Pingsheng.

Unexpectedly, she was dressed in a smart outfit, looking at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking, and looking like she was in a daze.

"came back."

Hearing the footsteps, Xiao Rongxue came back to her senses, raised her eyes to look at Ren Pingsheng, and said hello.

"Um."

Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly and asked casually: "What are you thinking about?"

"nothing."

Xiao Rongxue seemed unwilling to say more and changed the subject: "This heroine plans to take people out of the city to suppress bandits tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"

Suppressing bandits again?

Ren Pingsheng was slightly startled and asked curiously: "Didn't we have a crackdown a few days ago?"

Xiao Rongxue glanced at him and said coldly: "You had a meal last night and you won't eat again?"

Is it serious to eat this as you say?

Ren Pingsheng looked at Xiao Rongxue, his expression became a little strange.

Xiao Rongxue didn't realize at first why Ren Pingsheng looked at her like this.

Thinking of what happened last night, I realized later that this guy was thinking wrong again!

damn thing!

It was a normal sentence, but because of his look, it seemed as if his words were frivolous.

and.

The way he interpreted it, his words sounded like he was jealous and sour.

"Let me put it another way. We had a fight this morning, so we won't have one tonight?"

Xiao Rongxue was ashamed and angry, but her expression became colder. She held the embroidered spring sword in her hand and said word by word.

"Ahem. What I mean is, there are many bandits near the capital?"

Ren Pingsheng saw her putting on such a posture and hurriedly changed the subject.

It's always like this. It was obviously him who started it, but in the end he pretended to be innocent, as if nothing happened.

Xiao Rongxue wanted to beat him up, but she took a deep breath and calmed down. She didn't care about him and answered indifferently: "A lot."

Ren Pingsheng didn't know much about the world outside the capital. Hearing this, his brows frowned slightly and couldn't help asking: "The court didn't send troops to clear them out?"

"After clearing out a group, another group popped up. Over time, the court was too lazy to care. Anyway, they were just bandits and couldn't cause much trouble."

Xiao Rongxue said with a blank expression.

Ren Pingsheng saw complex emotions in her eyes, including anger and helplessness.

"The capital is surrounded by rampant banditry, not to mention other places

It seems that the prosperity of the capital hides the decline and turmoil outside the capital."

Ren Pingsheng has lived in the northern border for a long time and does not know the situation in other parts of the Great Zhou.

After listening to Xiao Rongxue's words, he realized.

It turns out that the lives of the people outside the capital may not be as good as those in the relatively poor northern border.

After all, in recent years, after Ren Pingsheng lay down in the martial arts, he began to intervene in the political affairs of the northern border and implemented various measures to benefit the people. The lives of the people in the northern border have been much better than before.

This is what he witnessed from time to time when he "visited incognito", not bragging.

"Why did this happen?" Ren Pingsheng couldn't help asking.

Xiao Rongxue glanced at him and said lightly: "The emperor is incompetent."

If she said this a day ago, Ren Pingsheng might have refuted it in his heart.

But after experiencing the assassin, Ren Pingsheng would only agree with both hands.

"To be specific, there were constant wars in the south, and the emperor raised taxes to raise funds for the army.

Originally, the increased taxes were mostly levied on the gentry, but when they reached the local areas, they were levied on the already poor people. This was the case in remote areas, but even near the capital.

In recent years, floods have occurred frequently, and the people have been living a hard life. They were forced to sell their houses and land, and when the houses and land were sold out, they could only sell their children. In the end, they had no choice but to become bandits.

The court concentrated most of its military forces in the south and The demon tribe was unable to launch a large-scale crackdown, so the local government could only solve the problem on its own.

The local government's constables could hardly maintain public order, let alone crack down on bandits. Over time, bandits became more rampant, leading to the current situation.

However, bandits are different. Most bandits hide in the mountains and forests, evade taxes from the court, and live a self-sufficient life. Only a small number of them rob and do all kinds of evil.

This female hero is going to crack down on these people! "

Xiao Rongxue said a lot in one breath, and at the end, a sharp light burst out in her eyes.

Ren Pingsheng fell silent after listening.

Because what Xiao Rongxue said was very familiar to him. Opening the high school history textbook, which dynasty was not like this at the end?

The rich are drunk and stinking.

There are frozen bones on the road.

In the inner city of the capital, the dignitaries are willing to spend five hundred taels of silver to compete for a male pill.

Outside the capital, the people sell their children to have a meal.

Meat eaters are despicable.

This is true no matter when and where.

What made Ren Pingsheng silent the most was.

He was also a meat eater.

"Why didn't I see what you said on the way to the capital?" After a few seconds of silence, Ren Pingsheng asked again.

Xiao Rongxue said lightly: "From the northern border to the capital, how many times did you get off the carriage except for staying in the post station? After getting off the carriage, how many times did you go to the village?

And those bandits are not stupid. Which of the twenty guards around you is not strong and strong? Who is blind to rob your caravan instead of the caravan?"

Ren Pingsheng fell silent again after hearing this.

Actually.

He already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it.

After all, in his eyes, this world is the prosperous Sajin Street, the bustling Yuanwu Lake, the magnificent palace, the ancient Baiyun Temple, and the love and romance with his sister-in-law.

Even if the outside of the capital is a purgatory on earth, what does it have to do with the prince of Zhenbei in the capital?

Actually.

Indeed, it is true.

He is a hostage, so what can he do even if he knows that the outside world is hell on earth?

Even if he gives up martial arts and exchanges all his property for food to help the people, it is just a drop in the bucket.

All he can do is to be a good person and not bully men and women, that's all.

Maybe

he can do more, such as working with Xiao Rongxue to eliminate those bandits who are causing trouble.

Of course.

Eliminating bandits is not just for the poor people who are bullied.

It is also for himself.

First, he can hone his martial arts in actual combat and improve his actual combat ability.

Second, he can use the souls of those bandits to practice the "Soul Devouring Art" and improve the strength of his own soul.

After all, the security in the inner city is too good, and it is difficult to meet souls that are worth devouring and have not dissipated.

There may be some in the outer city.

But letting Ren Pingsheng take the initiative to find those corpses that had just died, in the eyes of interested people, would inevitably make people suspect that he was practicing magic, and thus expose the existence of the "Soul-Eating Art".

all in all.

He had many reasons to eliminate bandits.

But it's hard to find a reason not to go.

Perhaps, Worry Assassin is one.

But the last time he was assassinated, wasn't it in the inner city?

This is the thought.

Ren Pingsheng's eyes gradually became firmer, he looked at Xiao Rongxue and said sternly: "We will clear out the bandits tomorrow, count me in."

A look of relief appeared in Xiao Rongxue's eyes, and she nodded: "In that case, tonight's sparring session will be omitted, lest you be soft-handed with the knife tomorrow."

The words fell.

Ren Pingsheng changed his words again: "Suddenly I remembered that I have to go to see Chang An tomorrow. After meeting Chang An, I have to go to the palace. After going to the palace, I have to go to Guanglu Temple. After going to Guanglu Temple, I have to go to Guanglu Temple. Practice.

The emperor has given me a case and I have to investigate it. I haven't finished what Tao Zun asked me to do last time.

By the way, I originally planned to go to Baiyunguan to discuss cooperation in selling elixirs, but I have been putting it off until now."

Where did you come from so many things?

The corners of Xiao Rongxue's mouth twitched, looking speechless.

the other side.

Ren Pingsheng was still listing the things he wanted to do. After a while, he looked at Xiao Rongxue and asked, "When will you set off tomorrow? Can you wait for me?"

"." Xiao Rongxue was speechless.

There was no response for a long time.

Ren Pingsheng glanced at her and said: "That's all, I'm not worried about you fighting and killing alone. I'll put other things later. I'd better accompany you to eliminate the bandits first."

After talking for a long time, this sentence is what feelings are for.

This heroine travels around the world, seeing the light of swords and shadows. Who cares about your company?

Xiao Rongxue curled her lips, looking very disdainful, but surprisingly did not speak sarcastically.

Perhaps in her heart, she really longed for someone to accompany her through the world with a sword and bring peace to the world.

Although she knew that person could not be His Royal Highness, she still couldn't help but think so in her heart.

"I'll give you time to enter the palace. I'll meet you at the gate of the Zhenmo Si Yamen tomorrow at six o'clock."

Xiao Rongxue left this sentence nonchalantly, picked up the embroidered spring knife, and walked into the house.

Ren Pingsheng watched her figure disappear, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He couldn't tell whether it was anticipation, hesitation, or excitement.

Last night was the first time in his life that he actually fought.

Tomorrow noon will also be his first actual battle.

To eliminate bandits, there is no doubt that they will kill people.

kill.

I had only seen it on TV before, but now I am about to do it myself, and I don’t know how to feel.

Maybe you can only know if you actually do it.

Having said that, since you have chosen this path, it will happen sooner or later, so why be pretentious.

Thinking of this, Ren Shengsheng put aside his distracting thoughts, withdrew his gaze and walked towards the house.

There will be actual combat tomorrow, so there will be no martial arts practice tonight.

Use the time you have spared to write some more prescriptions.

Try to completely transcribe "Eternal Alchemy" within seven days.

When I go to Baiyunguan to discuss business with my aunt in a few days, I will hand it over to Tao Zun.

Ren Pingsheng thought this, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to copy.

Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye.

It was late at night.

Ren Pingsheng put away the copied prescription and lay down on the bed.

Before closing my eyes, I was slightly looking forward to tomorrow's sign-in reward.

In more than two months, I have signed in so many times, and this is the first time that a martial arts skill has appeared. I hope it is not a three-legged cat skill.

With this thought in mind.

Ren Pingsheng slowly fell into sleep.

The next day.

early morning.

When Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes, the first thing he did was sign in.
