Feng Chu was sitting in the State Guesthouse, his face was deeply wrinkled and he looked very worried.
In front of him, Princess Yu Yingyao of Xia Kingdom was still dressed as a palace maid. She also frowned and looked outside from time to time.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that King Qi still hadn't come back, Feng Chu suddenly couldn't sit still and gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up.
At this moment, I heard Yu Yingyao standing next to me, suddenly stood up, looked outside the door, and shouted in surprise:
"Brother Huang is back!"
Feng Chu suddenly raised his head and saw that King Qi had returned with a relaxed expression and his body was safe and sound.
Seeing King Qi's figure, Feng Chu's heart that had been holding him suddenly relaxed and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yu Yingyao showed joy, ran forward quickly, stopped in front of King Qi, then bowed and said:
"Brother Emperor..."
Feng Chu also hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, bowed to King Qi and said:
"Your Highness!"
King Qi looked at Yu Yingyao, suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, showed a doting smile, nodded and said:
"Don't worry, the matter has been resolved... From now on, you don't have to worry about anything else!"
When Yu Yingyao heard this, she was immediately stunned, a little unable to react, and said:
"What?"
"You will be free from now on!" King Qi said with a smile.
Feng Chu, who was on the side, also breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and the two of them quickly cupped their hands and said:
"Congratulations to your highness, congratulations to the princess!"
King Qi was happy, laughed a few times, and said:
"From now on, no matter where you are, you are not allowed to call me princess... But without the identity of Princess of Xia Kingdom, you can truly get rid of the shackles of taking over!"
Yu Yingyao's reaction at this time was a bit strange in the eyes of others.
When she heard this excellent news for her, her eyes suddenly became solemn.
After reacting for a while, she finally showed a forced smile, looked at King Qi, and asked:
"Brother Emperor, how did you convince Emperor Yun?"
King Qi smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Brother Huang has his own way, you don't need to worry about this matter. Yingyao, from now on the world is so big, you can do whatever you want! Don't you like music? Brother Huang can find a way to send you to study at a music family."
Yu Yingyao's eyes moved and she immediately asked:
"Where's my sister over there?"
When King Qi heard this, he blinked twice and then said casually:
"Brother Huang's men did not find her. It is impossible to say that she has already left Zhongqing City at this time, so you are not more worried about her."
Yu Yingyao looked at King Qi and frowned:
"Brother Huang, aren't you lying?"
When King Qi heard this, he looked sincere and said firmly with confidence:
"Brother Huang will not lie to you about anything that is not true!"
Yu Yingyao frowned and stared at King Qi carefully for a while.
But seeing that his eyes didn't dodge, I couldn't hold on anymore, so I had to lower my head slightly and said:
"I believe in Brother Huang."
King Qi nodded and said with a smile:
"Okay, go get some rest early. Brother Huang, Master Feng and I have something to discuss."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yingyao nodded, bowed to the two of them, and then left.
When Yu Yingyao left, Feng Chu couldn't help but look at King Qi and said:
"Bian Liuyun really didn't fall into Emperor Yun's hands?"
King Qi shook his head and said:
"It's just a lie to the emperor's sister. Emperor Yun admits it, and the person is in his hands!"
Feng Chu nodded and said:
"So, everyone on Emperor Yun's side really knows?"
"I haven't made it clear, but from what he said, I'm afraid I know a lot of things. Fortunately, you gave me the list of Yun Guo's embroidery envoys before. Otherwise, I really don't know what the situation would be like.
What kind of conditions are there to impress Emperor Yun!" King Qi looked at Feng Chu and nodded.
Having said this, King Qi paused and said immediately:
"By the way, let's check something out!"
"Please give me your instructions, Your Highness!" Feng Chu said immediately.
"When we were in the Yun Palace just now, Emperor Yun casually mentioned the commotion at the Lantern Festival that day, which caused Bian Liuyun to take advantage of the chaos to escape. It was that incident that caused the manpower originally arranged by the king to be unable to take action. Now in hindsight
Come on, it’s too much of a coincidence, go check it out!” King Qi said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Feng Chu muttered:
"Perhaps it was Li Chao who was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to attack? But they didn't expect that Bian Liuyun was so skilled in martial arts that they were able to escape?"
When King Qi heard this, he said in a deep voice:
"The possibility is not small, check carefully! Also, Emperor Yun has already said hello to the two organizations of Yun State's Dongchang and Shangyu Backup Office. You can cooperate with their people to hand over."
"Yes!" Feng Chu immediately responded with his hand.
--------------------------
Not far from the Xia State mission, Chen Liyan also received a report from his subordinates.
"Did something really happen?" Chen Liyan said in a deep voice.
"It's absolutely true! It is said that at that time, the Yun Kingdom patrol camp took away many assassins. According to the people, there were several of them who were very conspicuous in black robes!" said the subordinate anxiously.
Chen Liyan's eyes twitched, he sighed irritably and said:
"We lost contact a few days ago, why are you reporting now?"
When the subordinate heard this, he lowered his head and muttered:
"These people are their own group, and they did not use the identity of the envoy to cover up. Therefore, they have not come back before. It is because they have hidden somewhere, so we have not been in a hurry to report to the Major General..."
When Chen Liyan heard this, he rubbed his furious temples, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"They are all people sent by my father. If we can trust them, our identities should not be exposed for the time being! Find a way to pass the news to outside personnel and let them continue to investigate. The Xia State Mission must not be able to withstand the pressure and will
Find the Emperor Rouning before handing over the real princess!"
When the subordinate heard this, he took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said:
"yes!"
Chen Liyan's plan was to find the fake Emperor Rouning, also known as Bian Liuyun, before the Xia Kingdom's mission could withstand the pressure. After feeding her poison, she would be sent to the Yun Kingdom's harem.
What he was thinking about was using the poison brought by the man in black robe to make Bian Liuyun lose his mind and massacre in the harem of Yun Kingdom.
The princess of Xia Kingdom died in the harem of Yun Kingdom for no reason.
In the Royal Palace of Yun Kingdom, Princess Xia's assassination of Emperor Yun took place. Even if Xiao Cheng couldn't die because of his powerful martial arts, one or two people in the palace would always die.
If such a thing really happens, both the government and the opposition will feel that they have suffered a loss. No matter which side gives in, public opinion will be boiling.
By then, even if the two countries want peace talks, there will be no way to step down!
It's a pity that at this time, Chen Liyan still didn't know that Yun and Xia, the two parties he had planned, had united together and started to deal with him together!
--------------------------
Xiao Cheng looked at Qin He who hurriedly came to see him and asked:
"Why are you so anxious to see me?"
Qin He bowed to Xiao Cheng and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, those men in black robes you sent here are really weird!"
Those men in black robes who were captured because of Xiao Cheng's own actions, even though the internal energy in their bodies was extremely fierce and violent, they were still limited by the power of Yiyang Finger, and all the meridians around their body were blocked, making it difficult to break through.
Xiao Cheng felt that these men in black robes were like wild beasts, losing their minds and looking very strange when they started to attack. He immediately had people bring them back and threw them to Ji Xu and Qin He from Taiyuan Hospital for them to study.
But now that Qin He looks like this, it seems that he has found some problems.
When Xiao Cheng heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately asked:
"What happened to these people?"
Qin He slightly arched his hands towards Xiao Cheng, and then said:
"I took the pulse of these men in black robes and found that the six qi in their bodies were stagnant and turbid, which is definitely not the pulse condition of normal people. After studying for several days, I finally discovered that there was an abnormality in their bodies!"
After saying that, Qin He waved to the young eunuch from the Imperial Hospital who was following behind him.
When the little eunuch heard this, he immediately raised the tray in his hand and raised it carefully above his head.
Xiao Cheng took a closer look and saw a transparent milky white worm about the size of a child's finger wriggling crazily on the tray, which made people feel quite uncomfortable.
Xiao Cheng frowned, stepped back, and asked:
"What's this?"
Upon hearing this, Qin He quickly said:
"This insect was taken out from the back of the black-robed man's head and spine. It should be a carefully cultivated Gu insect!"
"Gu insect? Those men in black robes lost their minds and looked like wild beasts. Is this the cause of the trouble?" Xiao Cheng frowned.
The southeast of Yun Kingdom, the southwest of Xia Kingdom, and the southern part of Li Dynasty, the land at the junction of the three kingdoms, have high mountains and dense forests, and many places are full of poisonous insects. Naturally, the Gu technique to control these poisons was born.
Many tribes in the Yun Kingdom, even among the Ailao tribe from which Nan Rongshu was born, have many people who are proficient in the art of Gu.
However, although these Gu techniques are quite miraculous in the world, they are nothing more than artificial poisonous Gu insects that drive all kinds of strange poisons. They can only be regarded as a way of using poison in the martial arts.
And like this, using Gu insects to control people's bodies is really weird to the extreme.
When Qin He heard this, he immediately said:
"Although it is unbelievable, after I took out the Gu worms, the eyes of the man in black robes regained some clarity. I am afraid that the abnormalities of those men in black robes are inseparable from the Gu worms!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng suppressed his nausea and got up to come and check.
But at this moment, the Gu insect that was originally twisting wildly suddenly froze and no longer twisted as before.
And at this moment, on the golden finger skill panel, the "Heavenly Favorite" skill, which was still a little gray in color because it helped Xiao Cheng push the golden plate, suddenly flashed.
Something suddenly changed in Xiao Cheng's sight.
In the world where the vision of luck condenses, countless thin white threads extend from the bodies of all the civil and military officials, imperial guards, eunuchs, maids, and common people in the Yun Kingdom, and they all converge on Xiao Cheng.
These fortunes were now condensed on Xiao Cheng's body, and then turned into the purple divine bird above his head that fluttered its wings, raised its head and cried, showing a mysterious color.
At a glance, among the dense and milky-white fortunes gathered from the people of the Yun Kingdom, a thin thread of black fortunes was particularly conspicuous.
Xiao Cheng's eyes moved, and he immediately saw the distinctive black thread of luck that exuded an uncomfortable aura, connected to the Gu worm.
The next moment, the thin black thread of luck on the Gu insect's body suddenly thickened!
The Gu insect's body suddenly arched up like a spring, and then suddenly bounced towards Xiao Cheng's front door.
In the midst of lightning and flint, the Imperial Guards in the palace and the palace attendants suddenly reacted and shouted:
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Get out of the way, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Cheng reacted immediately, and subconsciously took a few steps back. He stretched out a finger of his right hand, and his powerful and profound invisible sword energy instantly condensed on it.
But before Xiao Cheng could point it out, the Raging Dragon Divine Sword he wore on his waist suddenly flicked out of the scabbard, revealing a sharp blade about half a finger wide.
In a daze, everyone in the hall heard only the roar of a dragon.
In the line of sight that ordinary people cannot see, a ferocious and angry dragon manifested from the sword body and hovered above Xiao Cheng's head. When the scales and claws were flying, the mighty dragon aura raged out, which was heart-wrenching.
He paused suddenly.
The milky-white Gu worms that flew towards it were immediately torn apart by the seemingly invisible Dragon Power and Dragon Qi.
The thin black thread of luck that was originally wrapped around the Gu insect suddenly broke apart.
At this time, Xiao Cheng's sight immediately followed the thin black line of destiny, passing through thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant, until he came to a dark place.
In this dark place, there is only one "monster" old man who is as shrunken as a seven or eight-year-old child. He is so old that he has no human shape. He is frightened just by looking at him.
At this time, the old man seemed to feel Xiao Cheng's gaze across thousands of miles at the same time. He suddenly raised his head, revealing his ferocious face, staring with ecstasy in his eyes.
The next moment, this strange scene suddenly disappeared from Xiao Cheng's sight. It was as if in an instant, he had returned to the Palace of Nourishing Heart from a strange place in the world.
"Your Majesty! Are you okay?"
"Quick, quick, clear that thing out!"
"I deserve death for my crime. I didn't identify this thing before, and I almost harmed your majesty. Please punish me!"
Xiao Cheng turned a deaf ear to the noise ringing in his ears.
The look in his eyes kept flashing. He looked down at himself, showing a look that seemed excited and suspicious, and murmured:
"What is that?"
The upgrading of the world was caused by Xiao Cheng, and he naturally knew it. That's why Xiao Cheng was not surprised to see a big purple bird above his head.
But the scene he just encountered made Xiao Cheng suddenly understand that after the world is upgraded, there are many things that he never knew!
At this moment, Xiao Cheng suddenly had a premonition in his heart.
The monster who looked so old that he didn't even need makeup to play a ghost doll just now must have something useful for him.
Xiao Cheng looked at the golden finger panel, where the "Heavenly Favorite" skill was still flashing with dim brilliance, and he immediately understood in his heart that it was this thing that was guiding him.
Xiao Cheng's eyes sharpened immediately, he raised his head and said loudly:
"Check, we must find out the identity and origin of these men in black robes, and find them for me!"
Everyone in the hall, not knowing what Xiao Cheng meant, quickly bowed their heads and responded in unison:
