Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1016 - 607: Factions, Gate Valve (Part 2)

Fu Zhuo, no, actually Fu Junnuo was coldly and quickly narrating all this while undressing herself and removing the chest wrap...

Not minding at all that Sui Yi was there.

In fact, Sui Yi wasn’t looking at her, but turned sideways and said, "So your target is Yuwen Huaji?"

Sui Yi’s leaps of thought were quick, Fu Junnuo was used to it, and admitted, "That’s right, compared to Yang Su’s cunning, Yuwen Huaji is actually more ruthless, also part of the Hawks Faction, always advocating for annexing our Goryeo, I’ve always wanted to find a chance to kill him. Just a year ago, I noticed some signs regarding Zheng Long and quietly spread the message out, attracting many forces here, including Dali Temple. Previously, Dali Temple was under Yang Su’s rule, Yuwen Huaji couldn’t do anything, but now Yang Su is dead, as soon as Dali Temple makes a move, Yuwen Huaji will know, so he will surely come... However, his martial arts skills have increased greatly, I am not his match, today’s attempt is a failure."

Fu Junnuo was still somewhat unwilling.

Yang Guang, Yang Su, Yuwen Huaji are people she wishes could be dealt with swiftly.

"Yang Su’s treasure is of great importance, Yuwen Huaji covets it, and Yang Guang also wants to obtain it. Coupled with the Demon Sect and other forces, the entanglement could cause internal troubles in the Great Sui Dynasty. You don’t need to worry about Goryeo’s safety in the near future, soon Yang Guang will be balanced by the Yuwen Clan within the Imperial Court..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Junnuo’s eyes sparkled, "Are you so sure the Yuwen Clan can balance Yang Guang?"

"The Sui Dynasty’s Dragon Vein is already in its final stage, the Four Great Clans are flourishing, especially the Yuwen Clan near the Dragon Gate is most dangerous. A strong dragon cannot suppress a snake in its territory, especially since Yang Guang’s fortune has run out," Sui Yi said calmly, even without knowing history, she could see it.

This person after all is...

Fu Junnuo stared directly at Sui Yi, unable to resist asking, "You’re not someone from the Great Sui Dynasty? Otherwise, how can you not care at all about this dynasty’s rise and fall."

From not being a person to not being a person of the Sui Dynasty...

Considered progress?

"Hmm"

She indeed was not from there, and the dynasty’s rise and fall was a natural progression, nothing worth caring about.

"Even if what you say is true, I still won’t give up on assassinating Yuwen Huaji... too many from my Goryeo have died at his hands, and Yang Guang~~ If not, my master sent a letter calling me back days ago, I would’ve already returned..."

Saying that, Fu Junnuo opened a box beside her, inside were many clothes and some disguise tools neatly stacked.

"These were things I prepared for emergencies before, now the whole city is likely under martial law. Though few have seen you, this outfit will surely be recognized, better change it."

She took out a set of men’s clothing and handed it to Sui Yi.

Before Sui Yi received it, she hesitated, but then decisively said, "The assassins in the water before specifically targeted you, clearly showing Yuwen Huaji knew of your existence and held hostility against you, which must be due to someone leaking information... It wasn’t me."

Fu Junnuo’s nature was decisive and straightforward, after thinking it through, she decided to be frank.

"Hmm, I know," Sui Yi didn’t suspect her: "Earlier underwater, Li Ling attacked me, and another person was lurking."

"Zhang Yong? Was it him?"

"No, that person’s martial arts were much more formidable than Zhang Yong’s, perhaps no less than mine, and he also knew a strange Escape Technique."

"Dongying Ninjutsu? Or Ryukyu’s secret technique?"

"Don’t know," Sui Yi shook her head, took the clothes, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it’s some Mysterious Art..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

She had a vague guess about this person’s identity, though not confident.

"Mysterious Art? You mean...." Fu Zhuo’s expression was shocked and somewhat incredulous.

"Zheng Long!"

Sui Yi nodded, then shared her findings from observing the house, finally saying, "If this person was Yang Su’s top subordinate, he shouldn’t be killed so easily, he must have backup, and also the ability to manipulate so many forces at his disposal."

"Perhaps it’s for avenging Yang Su, or maybe for hoarding Yang Su’s treasure alone, either way, this person is indeed sinister and scheming, capable of knowing our circumstances and knowing you went underwater, presumably hiding nearby... and sending secret messages to Yuwen Huaji in advance, to wipe out everyone here."

The number of people fitting these conditions is few.

"You can investigate those twelve mutilated corpses, see if Zheng Long is among them, and perhaps find some clues."

This was just speculation, not certain.

Fu Zhuo wanted to investigate, looked at Sui Yi: "We are but fleeting acquaintances, though both have secrets, I feel you are trustworthy. I don’t know your stance on this matter, but if you don’t want to get involved, today we’ll part ways, hope to meet again as friends."

Sui Yi looked at her, nodded, then placed her finger on the clothes’ ribbon, looking at her eerily.

"Hmm?" Fu Zhuo was puzzled.

"..."

"... We’re both women, nothing to shy away from, I didn’t ask you to turn around before."

However, Fu Junnuo still frowned and turned her back, a bit impatient.

"That’s your problem."

"..."

In terms of being melodramatic, this person was really like someone from Cihang.

Fu Junnuo was somewhat dismissive, their female martial artists in Goryeo were never so melodramatic. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
