Chapter 551: Going to the Appointment |
Night deep and people quiet (in the dead of night).
[Translation note: Skipped website advertisement message]
Chen Ji sat upon Ginkgo Garden's roofs silently wiping the Whale Blade. The narrow and long Whale Blade seemed like flowing liquid silver (mercury). Illuminating the moonlight in the Heavens. Also illuminating Chen Ji's eyes.
He from far away saw a single small little shadow leaping entering the Chen Estate. Only then relaxing a mouthful of air.
The other party nimbly leaped amongst the rooftops. Turning an instant simply arriving beside his side sitting down. Meowing out a single sound: "Killed. But lacked that much untying anger (satisfaction) within imaginations."
Noble Consort Xue's Ice Flow gathered entering his body. Chen Ji looked at a single smear of orange-red fire light within the distant night colors: "Because she by no means is the head evil (main culprit). She merely was that grip of a blade killing the Empress, not the hand gripping the blade. Therefore it doesn't untie anger."
Wu Yun hesitated: "Then did I or did I not kill incorrectly?"
Chen Ji shook and shook his head: "Didn't kill incorrectly. If possessing opportunities, simply ought to exhaustively entirely kill them. Merely we right now lack opportunities to exhaustively kill them dropping. Only capable of killing a single one is a single one."
He from within his embrace took out a single paired wooden casket opening it. Inside setting three paired Bright Green Jade Rings. All were what Jin Zhu gifted.
Previously Jin Zhu had spoken. The Pre-Heaven Realm and Path-Seeking Realm are a single line of Heavenly moat. Some people exhausting their entire single lifetime also lack methods to cross over it.
Now. He simply stopped before this line of a vast chasm. Puzzlingly hundred times unable to obtain its untying.
Chen Ji took the box passing it arriving before Wu Yun's face: "You bump and bump these three pieces of rings trying and testing. Look and look whether or not capable of using jade to ascend one's body promoting ascending into the Path-Seeking Realm."
Wu Yun stretched out its claws. With a small heart and careful wings (cautiously) touched bumping the ring faces.
When the claw tips bumped arriving at the ring faces' instant moment. That single smear of bright green inside the jade resolved and dissolved. The ring face changed turning transparent. A single stream of Molten Flow from upon Wu Yun's body reflected feeding back giving to Chen Ji. Seven hundred and twenty cups of Furnace Fires inside a momentary blink of time solidly and truly radiated brilliant radiance.
But Chen Ji still as before hadn't crossed passing that line of Heavenly moat.
He thought and thought: "Anew come."
Wu Yun took the additionally outside two paired rings also turning them acting as Molten Flow. But except for the Furnace Fire increasingly, increasingly flourishing. Still as before lacked qualitative change.
Wu Yun turned its head looking at him: "I seemingly more formidably severe by a tiny bit."
Chen Ji wrinkled his brows: "My strength energy also grew larger somewhat. But lacked qualitative change."
Wu Yun puzzledly: "Where exited problems?"
Chen Ji also was puzzled. He pressed low his voice: "Is it difficult not succeeding necessitates killing a single Emperor to only then work?"
Wu Yun solemnly and gravely rising respect: "Fierce, fierce!"
Chen Ji holding the inverse also wasn't arrogantly mad arriving at desiring to kill an Emperor. Merely he finely counting himself and Old Yao's cultivation paths upon's differences... simply was the other party experienced the Former Emperor collapsing and perishing. Whitely picking up (getting for free) a single time of Emperor's Providence. And he lacked it.
No. Not ceasing at a single time.
He tilted his head silently calculating. Old Yao ninety-three years of age. I'm afraid already sent walking two positioned Emperors. Universally are whitely picked up Ice Flows.
Chen Ji sighed saying: "Within the palace prohibitions high hands (masters) are identical to clouds. Furthermore approaching nearing the Emperor's body side twenty paces still will be suppressed changing into ordinary people... Killing an Emperor is too difficult already. No wonder Master desired to act as an Imperial Physician."
Wu Yun slanted its head: "Absolutely must kill a single Emperor? Feudatory nations' (foreign nations') works or works not?"
Chen Ji seemed to possess thoughts: "Feudatory nations' holding the inverse is slightly better to kill by a tiny bit. But the Ning, Jing two dynasties' left and near (nearby) feudatory nations universally only possess Kings. Lacking Emperors. Moreover I also am not certain and solid whether what I guess is right or not right. Ten thousand unique (what if) I guess incorrectly what is to be done. According to logic speaking. This grand of a matter Master ought to have lifted to the front (in advance) told me. He not telling me definitely possesses his reasoning and causes."
Wu Yun thought and thought: "Lacking Path-Seeking Realm. Then tomorrow what is to be done?"
Chen Ji beneath the night curtains lengthily spat out a single mouthful of turbid air: "Walk a single step, look for a single step."
...
...
Jianing Year Thirty-Two, August Eighteenth.
Chen Ji rarely seenly didn't go shoulder-carrying water. Gripping lifting the Whale Blade exiting the Chen Estate.
Capital City still as before was solemnly quiet. Occasionally possessing winds blowing rising crossing paths sedan curtains. Capable of seeing the Officials inside the sedans upon their Official Robes outside covering a single piece of white-colored hemp clothing. Originally green silk cloth, red silk cloth sedans. Universally also connected through the night covered upon white-colored hemp cloth.
Chen Ji heard Brother Pao say. Possessing quite some theatrical troupes' troupe masters... connected through the night carrying the theatrical troupes departing Capital City. Otherwise a single large family of troupe foundations people chewing and horses using. Truly, truly unable to resist a hundred days of National Mourning. They must go inside the county cities singing plays nurturing families and pasting mouths (making a living).
When crossing paths passing Xuanwu Gate Avenue. Chen Ji saw the Ministry of Works Bureau Director Li's home doorway originally safely pasted double-happiness characters also being peeled off dropping. Capital City quite a few people households' safely fixed festive matters. Also must be pushed arriving at post-November Seventeenth.
The hundred surnames (commoners) hadn't seen passing the Empress. Didn't know during her life what matters she did. Also didn't know why she became a guest of Heaven. Merely called bitterness unceasingly.
Chen Ji suddenly remembered the Inner Chancellor toward him having spoken. This world's all sorrows and joys, partings and reunions universally cannot endure pushing and knocking (scrutiny). Because that merely is your single person's matters.
Arriving outside Plum Blossom Ferry's doors. Chen Ji saw several small hawkers shoulder-carrying carrying poles silently passing through. Universally all were familiar secret spies beneath Jin Zhu's banner.
Waiting until he ascended upon Plum Blossom Pavilion. Precisely seeing Tian Ma sitting inside a corner shutting his eyes nurturing his spirit. Jin Zhu then with Brother Pao played surrounding chess (Go). Two stinking chess baskets (bad players) playing and playing... played turning into five-pieces chess (Gomoku).
Jin Zhu tried and tested playing two rounds. Slapping hands yelling good: "Still is this kind of playing method suitable for me. Surrounding chess genuinely is a single bit universally untalentedly unable to play comprehendingly. What calculating strategies within command tents. What resolving victories thousand lis away. Those universally are grand personages' matters. I playing this horizontally rushing and straightly crashing five-pieces chess simply works."
Chen Ji took the Whale Blade setting it upon the desk: "Surrounding circumferences universally arrayed down people and horses yet?"
Jin Zhu splitting his mouth smilingly said: "I doing matters you set down your heart. People hands last night simply were arrayed safely. Universally all are these years the good hands I carried out. Will not possess people leaking and walking wind sounds (spilling secrets). Furthermore not solely is it anew arrayed people hands. My Secret Spy Division inside Baishun Hutong early on simply arrayed down people hands. Your Plum Blossom Ferry slant opposite-facing doors that household Refined Entertainment House. Also is my Directorate of Ceremonial's properties and businesses."
Chen Ji with sudden realization. When Jin Zhu was in Luo City simply had spoken. He is the Inner Chancellor's money sack. The Directorate of Ceremonial's properties and businesses unable to see light a single grand half universally rests inside his hands. Naturally convenient for peacefully inserting people hands.
Bystanders going to Yuan Cheng's ancestral residence strolling a single circle. Merely is beating, beating, killing, killing. Jin Zhu going strolling a single circle. Still capable of pondering missing to stroke away quite a few good things. The Inner Chancellor also counts as using the correct person already.
Jin Zhu smilingly spoke saying: "This Secret Spy Division inside. If theoretically who knows secretly bitter (highly classified) secrets the most. Naturally is Qiu Shu. After all too many grand personages die inside the Inner Prison. Whoever also doesn't know those precisely before dying spoke what things. If theoretically who's torturous interrogation methods are the most darkly vicious. Naturally is Xuan She. But theoretically marketplace transmitted words and rumors. Nobody compared to me is even more spiritually unobstructed (well-informed)."
Chen Ji curiously said: "Bai Long huh?"
Jin Zhu flipped a single white eye (rolled his eyes): "We bottom three ranks. With the Top Three Ranks comparing what."
Chen Ji puzzlingly said: "The differences are where?"
Jin Zhu pressed low his voice: "My Secret Spy Division however possesses peacefully inserting eye lines (informants) amongst the civil and martial Hundred Officials. They don't use 'Sparrow', 'Pigeon', 'Gyrfalcon' to divide and distinguish. But instead are named 'Sheng' (Male Lead), 'Dan' (Female Lead), 'Jing' (Painted Face), 'Chou' (Clown). Lacking high or low dividings. Only possessing occupational duties un-identical."
Chen Ji with sudden realization. He previously simply felt the Secret Spy Division lacked somewhat what. Originally what he previously had seen passing, universally all were secret spies walking and moving upon the bright surfaces. Still hadn't seen passing eye lines concealed and hiding beside the Hundred Officials' sides.
Jin Zhu looked for a single glance at Tian Ma. Continuing speaking saying: "This line of lines only Top Three Ranks are capable of using. The bottom three ranks are uniformly unable to bump them. Simply is the Top Three Ranks. Tian Ma currently also only is capable of tuning and dispatching 'Chou'. Still unable to bump Sheng, Dan, Jing. Some eye lines' status of height, secret concealment of depth. Speaking it coming out frightens people. If calling the Hundred Officials to know it. I'm afraid again will toward we and our peers breaking mouths grandly scolding."
Chen Ji lowered his head deeply pondering. If using actors and performers' roles acting as names. Sheng is old Sheng, small Sheng, martial Sheng. Dan is green-clothed and flower Dan. Jing mostly acts as loyally courageous and rigidly fierce martial general roles. Chou then is comically funny roles.
He thought and thought asking saying: "Excellency Tian Ma only is capable of tuning and dispatching the Hundred Officials' homes inside carriage drivers, sedan bearers, small servants this class's eye lines?"
Tian Ma opened his eyes skimming toward Jin Zhu. Striking hand sign languages: "Don't speak too much. He is too intelligent and bright."
Jin Zhu using hand sign languages responding: "Fearing what. Again not being what Heavens-grand secrets. Him accomplishing the Zodiacs' seating seats is early or late's matters."
Tian Ma pondered and conjectured for a moment. Anew shutting his eyes.
Jin Zhu looked toward Chen Ji: "The person you are about to wait for what time arrives?"
Chen Ji looked for a single glance at sky colors: "Ought to be after entering the night to only then come."
Jin Zhu again asked saying: "What time moving hands (acting)?"
Chen Ji lifting rising the Whale Blade. Inside his hands weighing and weighing it: "When I draw my blade simply moving hands."
However precisely at this time. Er Dao deng-deng-deng stepping upon the stairs running rising coming: "Eastern Master. At the doorway stopped a single carriage of horse carts. The rushing carriage's driver said. If you desire to meet Han Tong. Follow him walking. A single person. Not carrying weapons and blades."
Chen Ji wrinkled his brows: "Coming this fast?"
Jin Zhu slightly squinted rising his eyes: "He doesn't come to meet you. Inversely wants you heading to meet him? If simply like this following the Canal Transport Guild's people walked. I how isn't it whitely busying livingly for a single night? Ghosts know where the Canal Transport Guild's people will take you bringing to go. Ten thousand uniquely laying down black hands what is to be done. The Canal Transport Guild those Four Beams and Eight Pillars and incense Hall Masters. Taking their hearts cutting opening entirely are black."
Chen Ji remained silent not speaking.
Jin Zhu looked toward Chen Ji: "You listen to older brother. Even if fearing wrongfully passing (missing) this single time's opportunity. Also cannot simply like this dropping in the Canal Transport Guild's hands. Furthermore you alone and solitary a single person going. Also basically unable to do what."
Chen Ji shook and shook his head: "Cannot wait uniformly anymore."
Jin Zhu looking at his spirit expression. Biting his teeth saying: "Then I quietly following in the rear behind."
Chen Ji once again shook his head: "Han Tong being this cautious and careful. Thinking it coming also will peacefully insert people hands secretly observing and inspecting. If suffering him discovering clues and edges. I'm afraid again difficultly finding him anymore."
Jin Zhu in a hasty voice said: "Han Tong however is Path-Seeking Realm. You a single Pre-Heaven Realm Practitioner with him playing what life (risking what life)?"
Chen Ji deeply deeply inhaled a mouthful of air: "Try and test looking."
He turned his body heading downstairs. When arriving at the rear doors only seeing the carriage driver politely as a guest correctly standing beside the horse carriage. Toward Chen Ji passing coming a single black-colored head bag: "Baron of Wuxiang County see forgiveness (forgive me). Even if it is Lord Qi wishing to meet my family's Guild Master. Also must like this walk a single trip."
Chen Ji toward inside the carriage cast a single glance. Still possessing two named men Glaring like a Tiger staring fixedly at him.
The carriage driver lifted his hand: "Please go right."
Chen Ji drilled entering inside the carriage sitting in the middle interval of the two named men. Giving himself wearing upon the head bag.
