Chapter 146: Light and Dark
Chapter 146: Light and dark
It turns out that although this Prince Helian is ranked seventh, he is the direct descendant and the first heir to the Arctic Kingdom.
The King of the Northern Ice Kingdom was already old and could not insist on governing the government, so he ordered people to find the seventh prince of Helian who was traveling abroad to come to Tianshui City to inherit the throne. However, the eldest prince has always held military power and is eyeing the throne. After hearing the news, he secretly sent people to intercept the seventh prince.
To this end, the staff of the Seventh Prince made a plan, and the soldiers were divided into two groups, the Seventh Prince was a secret road, and his twin sister Helian Xuelian was a bright road, and the false and real road.
It was precisely because of this plan that the eldest prince's subordinates were attracted to Minglu, and the seventh prince's men were all dressed up as ordinary people and arrived safely at Tianshui City. When Fu Lou repelled the attack of hundreds of monks in the Ghost Crying Canyon, the real seventh prince also returned to Tianshui City. At this time, the eldest prince realized that he had fallen into the trap and no one sent to intercept the horse team again, so the horse team was safe all the way.
The reason why the horse team did not hide it all the way was that Qiu Qianshan deliberately wanted to let the prince's people know it. Moreover, even if he had leaked his whereabouts after leaving Beibing City, Qiu Qianshan continued to follow this path. In addition, when he was passing through the canyon, Qiu Qianshan knew that there was an enemy ahead and was extremely dangerous, but he still insisted on going to the canyon.
Obviously, Qiu Qianshan wanted to be used as bait at the beginning and was ready to die at any time.
After understanding the causes and consequences, Fu Lou's favor for the Seventh Prince of Helian and Qiu Qianshan was greatly reduced, especially the Seventh Prince. In this life and death journey, the Seventh Prince would actually agree to let his twin sister experience such danger. It is not false to say that the saying "no affection" comes from the ancient royal family is not false at all.
Fu Lou was not angry about this. It was a coincidence that he participated in the dart guard this time. First, because his reward attracted the attention of the criminals and had to leave the market. Second, he had long wanted to travel to the west, so the dart guard was just taking advantage of his identity.
At this time, the bodyguards also understood that the bodyguards on this trip were destined to be dead for the first time. If Senior Lou had not escaped danger several times, his group would have been dead. They were here to be bodyguards, of course there was no reason to blame Qiu Qianshan, but they secretly glad that Senior Lou had participated in this trip, and the eyes looking at Fu Lou were filled with gratitude.
...
The banquet was over.
Prince Helian smiled and tried to keep the bodyguards one by one, eagerly hoping that the bodyguards would stay.
However, the bodyguards were unwilling to stay and wanted to say goodbye. They were unwilling to involve more secular disputes. They were more willing to become bystanders about secular rights.
Of course, Fu Lou was not willing to stay here too much.
At this time, Prince Helian couldn't help but show a hint of anger on his face. He thought that he was condescending as a prince but could not get the favor of everyone. However, he did not know that cultivators value real interests and pursue immortality. Not to mention that he was just a prince, even an emperor would not value it.
At this time, Helian Xuelian hurriedly gave a wink to the seventh prince, and turned to salute the bodyguards. Zhan Yan said, "I am thanking you again for your hard work and escorting you all the way. Especially the number of spirit stones consumed by Senior Lou is huge, so I can't repay you. I feel very guilty. I hope Senior Lou stays first, so I will report to my father and ask my father to open the treasure house to give Senior Lou a little reward."
Helian Xuelian was a person of duty to say this. She was actually a monk, but her cultivation was very low, and she was only about the fourth level of the Qi Refining Period. However, Fu Lou's trip to protect the darts was actually a coincidence. What he did along the way was what he wanted to do, and it was also due to his state of mind for pursuing the way of heaven. As for the consumption of spirit stones, he didn't think much about it.
Furthermore, although Fu Lou had many dangers in this time, he really gained a lot of money. The opportunity was really good. Not only was his earth spirit bead more than half of it refined, but even the Five Elements Gangtian Earth Sword was spiritualized and became a earth spirit sword. He also obtained the secret scripts of the Corpse Driving Sect, the Ghost Sect and the Wuzhen Sect, and thus obtained many precious spiritual fruit trees and spiritual herbs.
Helian Xuelian continued: "I beg you all seniors to continue to protect your brother until your brother successfully ascends the throne. You can ask for any conditions you need, as long as you can do it."
When the bodyguards heard this, they were a little moved and wanted to agree.
Fu Lou smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have something important to do, I'm afraid I can't stay, so please forgive me. However, you and I are both practitioners of Taoism. If you are destined to be, you may meet soon." There seemed to be something else in your words.
He was not willing to intervene in the power dispute. If this matter really comes to light, neither the eldest prince nor the seventh prince actually has real right or wrong. They are just using their own means for the same throne.
However, Fu Lou would not leave the Northern Ice Kingdom just now. He wanted to observe the eldest prince secretly, because he couldn't figure out why the eldest prince could drive so many demonic monks as an ordinary person.
Secondly, he also wanted to investigate how many demonic monks from the Kunyuan Continent in the Northern Ice Kingdom were still there. Fu Lou felt that these demonic monks could not come just for the great prince, and they must have other purposes.
Seeing that Fu Lou was unwilling to stay, the bodyguards did not agree to stay. They knew in their hearts that their cultivation was no match for the monks under the Great Prince. Without Fu Lou, their own safety might have become a problem for their stay here, so how could they talk about protecting the Seventh Prince?
Seeing this, Helian Xuelian felt helpless and never spoke again.
...
Tianshui City, a side-away alley.
"You two are coming out." Fu Lou said lightly without looking back.
"Senior Lou..." Lan Caihe and Dasha walked out from the corner behind him timidly.
"The two have been following me since they came out of the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Why is this?" Fu Lou turned around and looked at the two of them with a smile.
Lan Caihe and Dasha were so afraid of looking up by Fu Lou's eyes. They opened their mouths several times, but they couldn't say anything to them.
The atmosphere is a bit weird...
"Senior Lou, this is how it is. We want to take you as our teacher! Please be more cheerful and give me a word, will you succeed?" Dasha suddenly raised his head and said in a breath like a firecracker: "I almost suffocated me to death."
Lan Caihe's face suddenly turned pale and he glared at him silly, thinking to himself that he was over, there was no such method of apprenticeship in the world.
"Oh?!" Fu Lou felt very suddenly. He could not have imagined that the two of them were following him to take him as his teacher, but he never thought of accepting disciples.
"Pu, pu" Lan Caihe suddenly fell to the ground and pulled Dasha down to kneel down.
"The younger generations have no other sects, and they look up to the style of seniors. They just want to take the seniors as their masters, follow the seniors, and fulfill their disciples' rituals. I hope they can achieve success." He Caihe said.
"This..." Fu Lou was still a little confused. He had not yet walked out of his surprise: "Two, please come up quickly. You don't know my true identity, nor do you know which sect I came from, but why did you insist on taking me as your teacher?"
"Although I don't know the true identity of my senior, I am definitely not on a whim or impulse. Along the way, my senior's selflessness, tolerance and kindness deeply touched me. In fact, I have long planned to take my senior as my teacher, but I am worried that my senior will not accept me, so I dare not speak for a long time." Lan Caihe and Dasha did not stand up and said respectfully.
"But..." Fu Lou was still a little worried.
