The swordsmen and counselors who had returned to their lives stood in Qiming Palace, waiting for the punishment they deserved.
In a few days, ten Cang Teng swordsmen were killed by the Eagle swordsman. The poisons they received were different, but they were all horrific.
"When the poison was about to enter Ming Chan's mouth, someone blocked it. Otherwise, Ming Chan would have ended up with the same fate as the other three traitors." Ji Chen complained angrily and glanced at Lou Zhongquan beside him from the corner of his eye.
one time.
The man in red on the throne was thinking about how to make Zheng Xiaohan's poison ineffective. He had already asked Yang Zhangfeng to develop an antidote that could cure any poison. It has been more than a year, but there has been no progress.
However, he still listened to what Ji Chen said word for word.
"It doesn't matter. If he doesn't die this time, we can only say that his life should not be cut off. You can be considered a meritorious service by getting rid of the other three traitors for me." Shao Kefan picked up the tea, took a sip, and continued, "Let's not talk about the body for now.
.I have called you here this time to inform you that a celebration banquet will be held tonight, and the rewards will be delivered to your cabinets."
The swordsmen and counselors were surprised when they heard this, and their worries quickly turned into gratitude and joy.
However, when everyone retreated, the monarch glanced meaningfully at Lou Zhongquan. Jichen caught this glance sensitively and felt a lot of comfort in his heart.
The king trusted him the most! Otherwise, he would not have given him the poison to deal with Mingchan, and he also considered himself the most loyal person to the king.
Shao Kefan sighed, walked into the bedroom, stared at the painting hanging on the wall, stretched out his hand, and caressed the face of the woman in yellow.
Jian Xin, where are you lying now? Are you cold?
Cang Teng's high-profile search for the body came to an end after a few days. Only Ying Zhi was still searching everywhere in the name of looking for the third prince's head.
However, the search operation of the ten-man swordsman group specially selected by Shao Kefan also began to proceed in secret.
He knew the consequences of Eagle's discovery of the remains.
Who could take away Jian Xin's body?
Evil lady?! Shao Kefan moved and had a vague feeling: She was most likely the one who took away Jian Xin's body.
He walked into the study and told Hong Ying who was following him, "I want to read quietly for a while. You can go out first! Don't see anyone before opening the door."
"Yes." Hong Ying exited the study and gently closed the door.
King Cang Teng disappeared in an instant.
However, Yingzhi's two swordsmen had arrived at Miaoyin Mountain one step ahead of him, and behind them were about twenty temporarily assigned armed guards soldiers.
"The evil lady is cultivating immortality in this cave. I'm afraid it won't be good to go in." Standing at the entrance of the cave, Cheng Gong looked in awe and looked inside cautiously.
"That's right, she can't take away a useless body." Companion Zhou Youlun said, suddenly a look of fear appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice, "She is omnipotent! If we piss her off, we may not be able to go back.
Already."
Cheng Gong glared at him, "Nonsense, the evil lady is a kind person, how could she harm others." However, his voice was also a little weak.
"Then let's..." Zhou Youlun swallowed, "Let's go in!"
Cheng Gong waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, "You guys wait outside the cave first."
The two walked toward the cave, but before they reached the entrance, a beautiful woman in white clothes slowly walked out. She looked about thirty years old. She had the grace of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman, just like a goddess.
Feeling a slight but intimidating momentum approaching, the two of them stopped in their tracks, but they also looked at each other in a daze.
"I don't have what you two are looking for here." The evil lady smiled, her eyes flashing.
"However, the king has ordered that no cave should be spared." Cheng Gong frowned in embarrassment and said apologetically, "I'm afraid I will disturb the evil lady."
"Then, please do it!" The evil lady kept smiling and walked inside. The two of them followed behind with some fright, looking around curiously.
Sure enough, there was nothing but dazzling beautiful scenery.
In the center of the round pool inside the cave, a huge lotus flower opens and closes. Beyond that, there is a small pool of clear water, emitting a green light, intertwined with the colorful lights flowing on the cave walls and ceiling.
Together.
"It really doesn't happen..." Zhou Youlun looked around the cave in a daze. He didn't know whether he was disappointed or attracted by the beautiful scenery.
However, Cheng Gong touched him and raised his chin towards the place where the two cave walls seemed to overlap but were actually staggered. Going in from there, there should be a different cave!
A glimmer of expectation flashed in Zhou Youlun's eyes.
"Except for me, no one has ever been inside." The evil lady said, "However, I know that you two can't let go of any hidden place, so it's good to put aside this guess."
"Thank you for your understanding, Madam Evil." Cheng Gong and Zhou Youlun bowed one after another, walked to the entrance, and went in sideways.
A large cave room appeared in front of you.
Although the atmosphere in the first cave was very quiet, after entering this cave, my ears felt as if I was deaf, and I couldn't even perceive the silence.
Quiet, not even the lively and intertwined colored lights. Although this cave also has the conditions to produce colored lights, it seems to be quietly annihilated or suppressed by something. Only the peaceful light of day fills it.
In the center is a slightly larger bed, with three layers of gauze covering the top, one layer off-white, two layers light green, and three layers purple-blue. The gauze curtains are undulating and continuous, stacked up to form a pile of cone-shaped climbing cloth vines.
There was no brocade quilt, no pillow, not even a bed frame. The gauze curtain was ten feet above the ground, and what surrounded it was the slowly surging white air.
The two looked at each other in surprise.
In addition, next to the wall facing the bed, there is a white glazed cabinet as tall as a person. There are small bottles of different shapes on the cabinet shelf. The evil lady also practices elixirs, and the small bottles should be used to hold pills.
There is a large bookcase behind the bed, with scriptures and alchemy volumes arranged in categories.
Mu Jianxin's body is not in this mysterious cave.
The two of them walked out a little discouraged, but when they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but froze again.
A woman dressed in white, who looked like a celestial being, was sitting in the middle of the lotus. She closed her eyes lightly, spinning quickly, her long black hair dancing.
The lotus flower was still opening and closing on its own. The blue water quietly emitted light, interlaced with other colored lights, embedded in it, and collided head-on. It was so gorgeous that it reminded people of life and death.
It was a feast for the eyes to see the evil lady practicing with her own eyes. The two of them thought about whether to leave without saying goodbye, so as not to disturb her pure practice.
"Since it's not there, you two, then I won't send it off." The evil lady tactfully gave the order to expel the guests, her voice was like the sound of nature, calm and peaceful, without the slightest hint of blame.
The two of them said goodbye respectfully and led the soldiers waiting outside the cave down the mountain.
In the pool, a transparent glazed coffin gradually appeared. The woman in the coffin had her eyes closed and her face was peaceful. There was actually a slight blush on her fair face.
A tear stayed in the corner of my eye.
Before she died, she was in so much pain! However, no matter how much she begged, she could not change the fate of the wilderness. She finally chose peace. However, if you pay a little attention, you can find that under the silence, there is a kind of helplessness suppressed.
negative.
The evil lady stopped, looked at the woman in the coffin with compassion, and sighed softly.
Sensing the breath of a stranger approaching quickly, her jade ears, as thin as cicada wings, moved slightly: Someone is coming, and their martial arts skills are extraordinary.
