The man in black looked at it for a while, with a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

Finally, he turned around and walked down the attic to the first floor, turned the mechanism and walked into a secret room.

Then he turned the mechanism in the secret room, and there was a loud bang, and a three-legged square golden tripod that was half a man tall appeared in front of him.

This golden tripod is as big as a water tank, with mysterious characters engraved on its four sides and a mysterious star map on its lid.

"Please ask uncle to open the Qiankun Cauldron."

The man in black stood in front of the golden tripod and bowed.

Buzz.

There was a vibration.

The stars on the star chart on the tripod lid light up one by one, floating in the mid-air, scattered high and low, all emitting brilliant colorful starlight.

Then, the man in black spurted out a mouthful of blood, forming a line of blood that connected the starlight clusters in mid-air, eventually forming a huge White Lotus Talisman Array.

Those star light clusters, within the White Lotus Talisman Formation, flicker and dim, exuding an incomparable mysterious aura.

Immediately afterwards, the man in black jumped up and landed at the heart of the white lotus talisman formation.

The white lotus talisman array began to shrink slowly, wrapping the man in black, and finally shrank smaller and smaller, turning into a bit of dust and projecting into the central hole of the cauldron lid.

There was a flash of golden light, and the golden tripod returned to normal.

The secret room was dark.

After a cup of tea, the man in black and an old man with a square face were sprayed out by the golden tripod.

"I wish you a safe journey, uncle."

The man in black bowed slightly.

"Um."

The eyes of the square-faced old man shone with a cold and sharp light like a predatory beast: "Three years later, the Holy Lord will come. I hope you will prepare a gift for the Holy Lord within these three years! Don't lose to that guy without a face!

"

"Master, please rest assured, this disciple has already made a plan."

The man in black cupped his hands and said with a smile: "He is a peerless genius who has cultivated an immortal golden body! I am going to make him into a blood slave puppet and give it to the Holy Lord!"

"This gift...is barely okay."

The square-faced old man nodded coldly.

Then, he walked out of the secret room, out of the attic, and disappeared into the night.

The man in black straightened up and looked towards the west direction of the imperial city with a cold smile on his face: "Lu Qian, Lu Qian, practice well. The faster you practice, the greater my face will be in front of the Holy Lord in the future, and the more likely I will be

You have been rewarded by the Holy Lord. I am very optimistic about you."

…

At this time, due west of the imperial city, is the Prince of Yin's Mansion.

"What? Lu Gan moves into Prince Rong's Mansion?"

In a secret room of the Buddhist temple, the face of the seventeenth prince Zhao Yin changed slightly, and a white cicada faintly disappeared between his eyebrows.

"Yes."

Hong Zhuangyuan bowed his hands and said: "The servants of Prince Rong's Mansion went to Zongren's Mansion to purchase a lot of meat. When they inquired about it, they found that Lu Gan was staying. Also, the palace issued an imperial edict to reward Lu Gan with a million taels of gold. And

There are tens of thousands of silks and satins, and a hundred palace maids and guards. Could this be Prince Rong’s palace as a reward from His Majesty to Lu Qian?”

"Is it a reward?"

Zhao Yin's eyes flashed coldly: "My father used Lu Gan so highly that he was even rewarded by the palace, regardless of his superiority or inferiority. This is certainly due to Lu Gan's defeat of Han Zhong and Bai Yuzhu's contribution, but more importantly, I'm afraid it's

Give Lu Gan an identity."

"Your Highness means..."

Hong Zhuangyuan seemed to have thought of something.

"Lu Qian's fourth-grade chief catcher's status is still too low, and he is tied up in the capital. But once he moves into Prince Rong's Mansion, his status will be the same as that of a prince. Father, I'm afraid he wants to let him do things."

Zhao Yin was pacing in the Zen room, deep in thought.

Suddenly, he stopped and his eyes flashed: "The Yuan family was destroyed because of Lu Qian! My father summoned Lu Qian to the capital to defeat Han Zhong and Bai Yuzhu, and came here to ask him to continue to clear out the family.

!No...that's not right! The art of an emperor lies in checks and balances! Once the Yuan family was destroyed, the family became dormant in the court, extremely obedient. This time, the father is going to kill Xuanhuang's old man!"

"Are you going to start taking action?"

Hong Zhuangyuan's eyes widened and he was slightly shocked.

He had long expected that such a day would come, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Should we remind Elder Song, Elder Bei and the others?"

Hong Zhuangyuan asked solemnly.

"No need."

Zhao Yin's eyes were deep and cold: "Elder Song and Elder Bei have always been loyal. My father will not let Lu Gan touch them. What my father wants to touch are those old Xuanhuang people who do not know what is good and collude with the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family This is a cancer in the dynasty. If it is not eliminated, the consequences will be endless! Jianlong, you will immediately write a list and give it to Lu Qian!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Without saying a word, Hong Jianlong picked up a pen and paper next to him and wrote down a personal name like the wind.

When he finished writing, he immediately handed it to Zhao Yin: "Your Highness, please take a look."

Zhao Yin glanced at it and his expression turned slightly cold: "Erase the names of the fifth, eighth, thirteenth, eleventh, and sixteenth brothers. This list will eventually fall to the father. In hand."

"It's my subordinate who didn't think carefully enough."

Hong Zhuangyuan reacted instantly, bowed his hands, and wrote a list again.

"Also, prepare an invitation."

Zhao Yin said coldly again: "The Nine Chan Immortal Golden Body Strength is a first-class magical skill that can be cultivated both internally and externally. It is even more mysterious than the Xuanhuang Reincarnation Magic Skill. I have just started to practice, and there are many things that I don't understand. I just took the opportunity to ask for advice. Make friends with that Lu Gan."

"Your Highness, that Lu Gan has extremely bad breath and is determined to retaliate. He is definitely not the brave, domineering, friendly and friendly person he showed in front of the Star Observation Tower. He is definitely a greedy and shameless villain!"

Hong Zhuangyuan cupped his hands and reminded.

Zhao Yin rolled his sleeves and snorted coldly: "So what, now that he is in the important position of my father, even if he is a heinous villain, I can only pinch my nose and make friends with him."

There seemed to be a trace of resentment in the words.

"Your Highness is a person who handles important things, but this subordinate is worrying too much."

Hong Zhuangyuan bowed respectfully and said with an extremely solemn expression: "Your Highness, there is something I have to say!"

"Say it."

"If we don't get rid of this son Lu Qian, there will be endless troubles!" Hong Zhuangyuan said with great solemnity.

Afterwards, the secret room fell into silence.

"..."

Zhao Yin's eyes flashed coldly and he was silent for a moment before saying: "I understand. After careful analysis of the bunch of counselors and diners raised by this king, I found that Lu Gan is very insidious and timid, but also very domineering. He will eradicate all opponents. He has dangerous enemies."

Coincidentally, so does he.

Hearing Zhao Yin's words, Hong Zhuangyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Highness is wise. In addition, I am worried about His Highness Twenty-three..."

"It doesn't matter, the enmity between Lu Gan and the Twenty-Third Emperor's brother is too great, and Wen Le's consort is still in prison waiting to be executed! There is no possibility of turning their hostility into friendship."

Zhao Yin's expression was cold, with an extremely determined look in his eyes.

Hong Zhuangyuan was a little hesitant: "The eldest princess may not be able to let go of her hatred, but Lu Qian is their only chance to rise, especially since Lu Qian is now staying in Prince Rong's Mansion. The emperor's favor is grand, and His Highness the Twenty-Third Highness will definitely resolve the dispute between him and Lu Qian at all costs." hatred!"

"But the problem is..."

Zhao Yin narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Will Lu Qian agree?"

"Will Lu Gan agree?"

At the same time, in the secret room of the eldest princess's palace, the twenty-third prince Zhao Ji frowned: "Sister, Lu Gan is by no means as brave and upright as he showed in the battle at the Star Observation Tower. According to the secret report, he was clearly framed. , a villain who confuses right and wrong and does everything possible! He has a huge hatred for us, how can he help us at this time? Using that thing to bribe him is like beating a dog with a meat bun, and you will never come back!"

"But this is our only chance."

The eldest princess, who was dressed in a blue nun's robe, smiled bitterly and said sadly: "If the Yuan family is destroyed, we, my sister and my brother, will have no support in the army, in the court, or in the court. Who else can we rely on?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ji's expression darkened.

Their mother was just an ordinary female disciple in the Xuanhuang Sect. She died of exhaustion not long ago. Once the Yuan family was wiped out, everything seemed to collapse and disappear.

There is only one title of Crown Prince left hanging on him. If you rely on yourself, there is no hope of making a comeback.

"I heard that my father has passed on the immortal golden body power of the Nine Cicadas to his seventeenth younger brother. If you don't give it a last try, I'm afraid you really won't have a chance."

The eldest princess said with a solemn expression.

Zhao Ji frowned even more tightly.

Finally, he sighed: "Sister, I will go to Prince Rong's Mansion tomorrow and give Lu Gan a try."

"Okay! Remember! Put down your status, put down your hatred! Lu Qian is a peerless genius now. You are weaker than others, so you have to flatter him and take advantage of him! If he keeps making great progress, then you can always take advantage of him! But God is jealous of talents, and Lu Qian will never have smooth sailing. When you gain the momentum and achieve the Dharma Realm, you can do whatever you want and take revenge! Do you understand?"

The eldest princess's eyes were full of hatred and cruelty.

"I see!"

Zhao Ji nodded heavily.

…

At this time, Lu Qian, who was longing for countless people, was lying on the Seven-Star Platform, feeling that his body had been hollowed out.

A body of vigorous blood condenses a tiny bit of Yuan Chen's power.

But with just this little bit of Yuan Chen's power, he just managed to break through the acupuncture point that was the easiest to open.
