"The more senior a person is, the less they like the feeling of being suppressed by others. If I say this, the prince may understand?"
Princess Jianning asked meaningfully.
Obviously this sentence was said by Emperor Dai Xi.
As the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he should have sole control of power, but from beginning to end he was suppressed by a so-called ancestor who should have been dead for many years.
He has been able to endure it until now, and he is considered a Ninja Turtle.
"I understand. Emperor Xi is worthy of being a man who achieves great things."
"This little bitch broke into the palace in a daze and pretended to be a eunuch. If it weren't for the fact that he seemed to have a master behind him, he would have been killed long ago."
Looking at the trembling Wei Xiaobao with contempt, Princess Jianning flicked her fingers twice.
"go out."
"Your Majesty, what follows is not suitable for outsiders to know."
She glanced at the faint figure coming in through the door again.
"There are no outsiders under my command."
He tacitly allowed Wei Xiaobao to slowly get up and move out, but Zhao Yan did not want to chill Nong Liu.
However, the presence of Nongliu outside the door did not embarrass him. When Wei Xiaobao came out, she took the initiative to lead him downstairs.
"The prince has a considerate subordinate."
"Comparing your feelings, what does the princess have to say?"
Zhao Yan was not interested in chatting with her and wanted to get into the topic for the first time.
Princess Jianning also knew what was going on. Seeing his serious expression of lack of interest, she immediately became serious.
"How many people have come to the Xuanji Tower? The old master's strength is not something that the prince can resist. Even if he attacks from a stick, just the prince and the two half-buckets of water can't stop him."
"Princess, please don't worry. For such a big event, Xuanji Tower will naturally have experts to take action."
Zhao Yan casually made a guarantee.
He didn't care if anyone would come, or whether Emperor Xi's resistance plan would succeed.
As long as the bead-retrieval ceremony can be prevented and Kasili rescued, the more chaotic the Qing Dynasty, the better.
Although everyone's common enemy is the Immortality Society, he doesn't think it is a good idea to cooperate with these guys with evil intentions.
If you can fool him, you should try your best to fool him.
"Your Majesty is not being candid. Since everyone is willing to cooperate, we should be aware of it. If we are not absolutely sure, my brother will never help."
"Without our help, what chance do you have of facing that old immortal alone?"
It's a pity that Princess Jianning is not an ordinary person. It is obviously impossible to fool her in a few words.
But at this moment, a mellow man's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
"Princess, don't worry, I will take action when the time comes."
Master!
Princess Jianning's expression suddenly became serious.
Her whole body seemed to be enveloped by an extremely terrifying aura, making her dare not move at all.
Fortunately, this breath only appeared for a moment and disappeared after she finished speaking, which made her let out a heavy breath.
Xiao Qiushui…
Zhao Yan was very calm.
He had long expected that Xuanji Tower would not allow him to take risks easily.
There must have been experts sent to protect him.
But Xiao Qiushui was able to make him completely unaware. This skill was indeed extraordinary.
"Is the princess satisfied?"
Seeing Princess Jianning's slightly embarrassed look, Zhao Yan asked with a smile.
"snort!"
"What's there to be proud of! You just know how to bully a weak woman of mine!"
"You're just a land god. It's hard to say whether you can beat that old guy. Don't underestimate the enemy!"
This sentence is not wrong.
Those old guys have been hiding for many years, and their strength is unfathomable.
Xiao Qiushui was very strong, but he could never defeat the Sixth Elder alone.
"Since the princess understands this truth, I wonder what kind of combat power can be sent out in the Qing Palace?"
"A land god, a top celestial realm."
"Gone?"
"Then how much more do you want? Are there really countless masters from the royal family?"
Princess Jianning complained angrily.
If we really have that much power, why would we need to cooperate with you?
"Maybe... barely enough."
Zhao Yan made an estimate.
As long as the two land gods can block the Sixth Elder's offensive, they can hold on until Kasili awakens the memory of heavenly beings.
The situation became three against one.
The situation will naturally be different then.
"I have something to ask the princess."
Zhao Yan suddenly thought of something and asked.
"go ahead."
"Is the Sixth Elder hiding in Yuhua Pavilion?"
Since Yuhua Pavilion is not Kasili's hiding place, it must be the residence of the Sixth Elder.
At least that's what Zhao Yan thinks.
But after hearing his question, Princess Jianning shook her head in confusion.
"I can't tell. Brother Huang just entered it to listen to the instructions."
"But no one knows whether he is in Yuhua Pavilion."
Zhao Yan looked at her with an expression that didn't look like she was lying.
In fact, there is no need to lie...
"I see."
From this point of view, Yuhua Pavilion is just a place where the Six Elders control Emperor Xi.
Where his lair is is always a mystery.
But Kasili, I think she is in the imperial mausoleum.
Should I tell Huo Qingtong this?
Thinking of the inevitable battle, he did not want Huo Qingtong to participate.
If something happened to her, wouldn't Xuanjilou have been planning this for a long time in vain?
"Anyway, you have to be mentally prepared. The power of Lao Immortal is definitely beyond imagination. Don't risk your life on the borders of the Qing Dynasty."
With Xiao Qiushui's guarantee, Princess Jianning was obviously more at ease.
She stood up and gave a reminder and walked out.
Zhao Yan did not leave her.
Pretty much everything you want to know is already known.
Besides, he didn't think Princess Jianning knew too much.
After all, she has always been a royal princess with no skills in martial arts.
It's okay to pass on messages to Emperor Xi, but when it comes to key issues, her identity as an ordinary woman limits her ability to understand deeper things.
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the door.
It was Wei Xiaobao who ran up again.
His value has been reached and he is no longer needed in the Qing palace.
Therefore, Princess Jianning will naturally not take him back again.
"The king...envoy...my...my antidote?"
Wei Xiaobao squatted next to Zhao Yan with brisk steps.
I wanted to call him "Prince", but I was afraid that he wouldn't like it, so I had to call him "envoy".
No matter what I said, I had done the matchmaking work for him, so it shouldn't be a problem to get an antidote.
He could feel that Zhao Yan was not the kind of person who would kill indiscriminately, and he was not that scared.
"Hand over here."
Zhao Yan smiled and pinched his wrist.
Qi and blood flow smoothly, and there is no stagnation in the body.
It seemed that the so-called poison was indeed deceiving him.
Just considering that he might not believe it, Zhao Yan decided to take another approach.
With a slight exertion of his fingers, he let out a stream of internal energy that flowed through Wei Xiaobao's meridians.
The latter immediately felt hot all over his body and wanted to moan in comfort.
After a moment, Zhao Yan released his fingers.
"Okay, the toxins in your body have been removed."
"Thank you envoy!"
"I will send someone to send you away. Shengjing City will not be peaceful in the future. You are still in some danger here."
"No, no... no... Then there will be trouble!"
Wei Xiaobao shook his hands twice and suddenly felt that what Zhao Yan said made sense.
I said rejection twice, but in the end it turned into thanks.
"It doesn't matter, I'll give you some more gold and silver, go back to Yanzhou to do some small business, and live a peaceful life."
Zhao Yan looked at him with some regret.
He had just checked Wei Xiaobao's body and found that it was not suitable for martial arts training.
In this world, if you can't be a master, you might as well be a commoner.
How could there be so many silly things for him to play with...
Even Princess Jianning is far from a woman he can control.
"Go down and rest here for the night. I will send someone to take you away tomorrow."
Zhao Yan didn't say much to him. After a few words, he stood up and jumped out of the window.
He wanted to talk to Xiao Qiushui.
Unfortunately, he searched around several rooftops and found no trace of the other party.
After searching to no avail, Zhao Yan gave up the search.
Leaving Shuiyunjian, he returned to Qingyi Pavilion in the night.
Youfei served as usual.
For the next few days, Zhao Yan stayed in the room and did not go out.
The war was about to begin, and he had to get his body and mind into optimal condition.
Zhao Min, on the other hand, plunged into the warehouse and design room of Qingyi Pavilion and could not get out.
Here are the most beautiful clothes and the most fashionable design drawings in Kyushu.
Studying these is much more interesting than martial arts.
Huo Qingtong never appeared again...
Zhao Yan decided that if she didn't come, he would let her continue searching in the palace.
Compared to the imperial mausoleum, the imperial palace seems to be much safer.
Unfortunately, the opposite happened.
It was the night before the pearl was taken from the imperial mausoleum.
Huo Qingtong quietly came to Qingyi Pavilion at nightfall.
But contrary to expectations, she wasn't here to look for clues.
In the meeting hall.
The two sat opposite each other.
Zhao Yan did not speak first.
He was waiting for the other person to speak first.
"I have an agreement with Old Man Tianji. As long as Xuanji Tower can rescue Kasili for me, whether she is a celestial being or her original form, I will sell my skills to Qixia Town for five years."
"Although I don't know why Qixia Town values me, this is the first time I feel like I have a chance to rescue my girl..."
"So I have no regrets...it's only five years, Tianjiang City can afford to wait."
After Huo Qingtong sat down, she talked about the deal she had with Old Man Tianji.
"After entering Qixia Town, the three wise men all conducted certain assessments on me. Those ten days were very painful, but they also benefited me a lot."
"It's a pity that I have never been able to get on the stage in martial arts."
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhao Yan, her eyes firm but with a hint of worry.
"Xiao Qiushui came to see me a few days ago. What will happen tomorrow..."
"please!"
Only then did Zhao Yan know why she came to the door.
It turned out that she already knew everything.
But after all, she is a woman with general knowledge.
I also understand that my own strength may only become a drag tomorrow.
So no matter how anxious I was, I still resisted the urge to rescue.
At this moment, Zhao Yan felt that Xuanjilou's vision was indeed unique.
This woman is so rational!
Only such people can become first-rate commanders.
"rest assured!"
"I will definitely rescue Kasili."
Zhao Yan nodded vigorously.
He rarely promises anything.
But this time, he decided to try his best.
"Thanks…"
Huo Qingtong smiled with relief, and then felt a little incredible.
"I didn't expect that a child of the royal family like you also has extraordinary chivalry."
"Although I am a member of the royal family, I hate the rules of the royal family the most."
"The world of martial arts... used to be my dream, but unfortunately today's world of martial arts is not pure."
Zhao Yan suddenly felt something.
He used to think that the pattern of Kyushu was strange.
The court is strange, and the world is also strange.
Now he finally understood the source of all this weirdness.
The Immortal Society is an organization that should not exist.
It is they who control this world, and if they are not eradicated, the world will only continue to be deformed.
"Not only Kasili, but also many people who are forced to have no choice but to be saved will be rescued."
"This is the purpose of Qixia Town. Your joining will definitely make it even more powerful."
The two looked at each other, each feeling comforted.
……
……
The second day.
When the first ray of white fish belly appeared on the horizon, Zhao Yan faced the light and finished his work.
He drank a bowl of porridge quietly, went downstairs and put on new clothes, then got into an ordinary carriage and drove slowly towards the city gate.
The driver was Huo Qingtong, and she insisted on taking Zhao Yan all the way, otherwise she would feel guilty.
"When I was in Kaifeng, I often took a carriage to and from the palace and the capital."
"At that time, the sisters in the mansion were all vying to drive for me."
"Today's scene makes me feel like I'm back in Kaifeng."
Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Yan sighed for no reason.
He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or Huo Qingtong.
Anyway, I suddenly wanted to say it.
Outside the carriage, Huo Qingtong smiled slightly.
"If you can come back safely, I will drive for you from now on."
"No matter what, you will be the general of Qixia Town from now on."
"You don't like me as a coachman?"
"Haha, that's what I wish for."
The two of them chatted and chatted all the way, and soon left the city gate and headed towards the imperial mausoleum.
The wheels kicked up dust and the ride was bumpy.
In less than half an hour, the magnificent imperial mausoleum came into view.
When there was still one mile away from the imperial mausoleum, the carriage finally stopped.
Zhao Yan opened the curtain, stepped out of the carriage and landed.
He turned his head and looked at Huo Qingtong's stunningly beautiful cheeks.
"Go back. If everything goes well, we will see you in Yulin City."
"Well, be sure to take care of yourself."
Huo Qingtong looked at him deeply, raised his whip and left without any hesitation.
This woman…
Always so decisive.
Zhao Yan watched the carriage gradually go away, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the imperial mausoleum step by step.
News was sent to the palace yesterday that the pearl retrieval ceremony will be held early this morning at Chen hour.
At this moment, when the yang energy of heaven and earth is at its strongest, the yin energy of the Heavenly Pearl can be well suppressed, allowing it to be taken out safely without backlash.
At this time, Li Chenfashion had three moments, and he could break in slowly.
Everything seemed to be normal at the imperial mausoleum not far away. Apart from the guards guarding it, there were only a few eunuchs cleaning the ground and sprinkling water on the ground to stop dust.
But the layer of yin that was faintly covering it made Zhao Yan feel an extremely strong sense of discomfort.
It seems that what is buried there is not the corpse of the royal family, but a savage beast from the ancient times.
"You are not allowed to stay in the important place of the imperial mausoleum, and leave quickly!"
Zhao Yan walked to the entrance, and two armored guards stepped forward to stop him.
"You two, it's convenient, I'm here to rob the tomb."
