"Thank you for your hard work! I would like to thank you all on behalf of the people of Yangzhou City!"
Prince Gong took several people back to his mansion with a look of joy on his face, and then toasted and thanked them.
Liu Yi took a look and saw that the banquet on the table had been replaced a long time ago. There was still a scent lingering in the room, which smelled very good.
But he didn't move his chopsticks, he just looked at Prince Gong opposite.
"Prince Gong, where is my wife?"
Gai Shinhwa was anxious to tell Long Yingying what had just happened, so he asked.
"Oh, Miss Long said she is feeling a little unwell. I have already asked my servants to arrange for her to rest in the wing."
Prince Gong replied with a smile.
"I see, then thank you, Prince Gong!"
Gai Shinhwa thought to himself that his wife's body bones have always been weak after a long journey. She may have collapsed from exhaustion. It would be good to let her take a rest. When she wakes up, tell her this again. She will definitely be very excited!
"Come on, guys, let me toast you!"
Prince Gong raised his wine glass again, but Liu Yi stretched out his hand and said.
"Wait a minute, Prince Gong, I have a few questions to ask you."
"Oh? What's the matter with Mr. Liu? It's okay to ask."
"First of all, I want to ask you, why do you block the waterway to the outside of Yangzhou City? Since the dry road is blocked by monsters, you still block the waterway and charge high tolls. Doesn't this ruin the way for the people?
?”
"Real people don't know this."
Prince Gong's expression did not change, he chuckled and said, "This waterway is not blocked by me, but by the emperor's will. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal itself is an important thoroughfare for the government to transport troops and food, and it is also the emperor's must-have when going south.
Passing through the road, you think, how can such an official road allow ordinary people to pass at will. So, Mr. Liu, this is really not what I meant. I was just following orders. As for the high tolls, in fact
It's not a toll, but a transportation fee. If people really want to travel by water, they must take the transport ship of our officers and soldiers, and then escort them out. This money does not go into my personal pocket, but only supplements the military.
"
"Oh? I assume what you said makes sense, then let me ask you again, why did the monster say that he wanted to save his son when he was dying? Prince Gong, what did you do to his son?"
Liu Yi continued to ask.
"This has nothing to do with me!"
Prince Gong waved his hands repeatedly, "Master Liu doesn't know. Some time ago, a real man came to Yangzhou City. He said that there was a lot of demons outside Yangzhou City, and he was afraid that there were monsters causing trouble. I heard that he was here to get rid of the demons, and again
Da Zhenren naturally entertained me warmly and treated me as a guest. After he stayed in my house for a few days, he went to pick up a snake monster outside the city and then left. I really don’t know what happened after that.
They followed us and blocked me outside the city of Yangzhou, causing the people of Yangzhou to have no peace!"
"Really?"
Liu Yi never let go of his doubts.
Although Prince Gong's answer was impeccable, there was always something that made Liu Yi feel strange.
"Prince Gong serves the country and the people. He is truly a model for the imperial court."
Gai Shinhwa repeatedly handed over his hand, "It is really a blessing for the court and a blessing for the people to have the prince share their worries!"
"Thank you, thank you..."
Prince Gong waved his hands repeatedly.
"Zhenren Liu, don't worry too much. How can you take the monster's words seriously?"
Gai Shinhwa also comforted Liu Yi, "As the saying goes, monster words confuse people, and the words of monsters are all lies!"
Lin Tong was lying on Liu Yi's shoulder obediently. When he heard Gai Shinhwa's words, he immediately raised his tail and said through gritted teeth.
"How dare this damn Jiujianxian look down on us monsters! You idiot, go up and beat him!"
After all, the other party was also half of his master. How could Liu Yi beat him, so he had no choice but to say.
"That's fine, but Prince Gong, I hope you can do what you said. If you let me know that what you said is false, I'm sorry, even if you are the prince, I can still take your head."
"Haha, please don't scare me, real person. I have always been very timid."
Prince Gong laughed and said, "Actually, to be honest, you can see that I am living a good life with fine clothes and good food, but who can understand the sorrow in my heart?"
"Oh? Prince Gong will also have troubles?"
Gai Shinhwa couldn't help but be curious, "I wonder if you can tell me?"
"sure."
Prince Gong slowly took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then said, "I am just a prince, with no title but no power. I was sealed here by my royal brother. I just enjoy flowers and raise birds every day, which is almost like a pension. But like this
How long can we live? Sooner or later, I will pass away. When the time comes, dust will return to dust, dust will return to dust. What will be left of my so-called prince?"
When Liu Yi heard what Prince Gong said, his heart moved.
"Prince Gong, what do you mean by this? Do you want to become an immortal?"
"Haha, I have this idea."
"Tch, you can cultivate immortality whenever you want. You have to have the fate to be immortal. Moreover, you are getting older and the energy in your body has almost disappeared. You are not suitable for cultivating immortals at all. I'd better just be your prince."
Ai Ling curled her lips and sarcastically said.
"That's exactly what Ai Zhenren said."
Not only was Prince Gong not angry, but he nodded heavily, "I also asked an expert, and he also said that the true energy in my body is almost gone. It is extremely difficult for me to cultivate immortality with this kind of body! So!
, if I want to cultivate immortality, I must first replenish the vitality in my body!"
"Which expert told you that?"
A glint flashed in Liu Yi's eyes.
"Master Liu, don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say first."
Prince Gong laughed and continued, "When I heard this, I was naturally unwilling to accept it, so I asked the master, if this is the case, what should I do? This master is indeed a master, and he gave
I came up with an idea. He said that there is a snake demon outside the city of Yangzhou. As long as I take its demon pill, let him make the medicine and give it to me, I can replenish my vitality and start cultivating immortality."
"What!"
Liu Yi and the others were shocked when they heard this!
"That snake demon was indeed killed by you, old guy!"
Ai Ling stood up directly and drew out her sword at the same time, "Kill you old dog..."
She was about to use her magical power to control the sword, but she was shaken and fell down on the chair.
"What's going on here?"
Gai Shinhwa was taken aback when several officers and soldiers suddenly rushed up from beside him and pinned him down on the table.
"Hey, why are you arresting me? I am a candidate and a guest of Prince Gong!"
"Haha, what kind of guest are you? You, a poor scholar, want to have a relationship with me?"
Prince Gong sneered, all his previous kindness gone.
Hearing this, Gai Shinhwa was so shocked that he couldn't even say a word.
Liu Yi was sitting on the chair, frowning slightly and keeping silent, watching all this with cold eyes.
"I don't understand, if Ai Ling didn't eat your food, why did she fall into your trap?"
"Zhenren Liu is really careful."
Prince Gong pointed to the smoking incense burner nearby, "Do you think the room smells good? This is the Drunken Buddha and Immortal Powder given to me by the master. What kind of immortal power do you have in you? When you smell this fragrance,
Naturally, it was sealed, and it couldn’t be unlocked within three days and three nights.”
"I see."
Liu Yi nodded, "I didn't expect you to be so scheming. If you just went around for a long time, I'm afraid it was just to let us fully inhale the fragrance! Prince Gong, I admire you. However, I also despise you."
"
"Hahaha, I admire you even more, Mr. Liu!"
Prince Gong laughed loudly, "You are so brave to sit here calmly and mock me even after you have been hit by my Drunken Buddha and Immortal Powder!"
While they were talking, several officers and soldiers were already standing around, drawing their bows and arrows, aiming at Liu Yi and Ai Ling.
"From this point of view, you said you knew about the Sword Emperor...you must have deliberately tricked us! But why did you abolish such a big Zhou Zhang and let us get rid of the monster?"
Liu Yi did not panic, but continued to ask.
"Haha, the master said, that one demon pill is not enough. The little snake demon has been cultivating for too few years to use the medicine. So, I used you to get rid of his father, and then got a new demon pill! Like this
Once here, I will be able to become an immortal, hahahaha!"
"Idiots talk about dreams."
Liu Yi sneered, "The demon pill is a demon pill. No matter how hard you refine it, the demon power in it cannot be removed. If you eat the demon pill, you can only become a demon. If you want to become an immortal, you have to dream."
"I know all this."
Prince Gong nodded, "That's why I need immortals like Zhenren Liu and Zhenren Ai. As long as I refine it together, I can use your immortal power to purify the demon pill."
"You are so cruel!"
Ai Ling's pretty face turned pale when she heard this.
"Haha, what remains of this king is a relative of the emperor and a relative of the country. It is God's favor. You people, it is your honor to sacrifice for this king."
Prince Gong laughed sinisterly, "When I become an immortal, I will naturally think of your kindness, hehehe..."
"I'm about to die, but you should let me die clearly."
Liu Yi sighed and said, "Let me see who the expert behind you is, okay?"
"Why not?"
Prince Gong clapped his hands and said, "Master Xue, please come out and meet these people."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in white clothes walked into the hall.
Seeing this woman, Liu Yi and Gai Shinhwa couldn't help but take a breath.
What a pure and pure beauty! This woman's pink face and delicate facial features are so beautiful that it takes your breath away.
But a cold breath came out of her body unstoppably, and Liu Yi also felt a deep ghostly aura...
This woman is not a cultivator!
Moreover, Liu Yi couldn't feel anyone's aura from her body!
"Just deal with these two people as soon as possible. Why did you call me out?"
The woman snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly.
"Master Xue, it's okay if you don't come out. Xiao Wang doesn't know what to do with these two people."
Prince Gong quickly apologized and smiled.
"It's very simple, just tie it up and throw it into my alchemy furnace."
The beauty waved her hand and said simply.
