King Huai ordered the grave to be digged, and dozens of soldiers armed with shovels and picks soon dug open Xu Zhiqiong's coffin.
"Come here, burn his body and spread the ashes for me!"
Just as everyone was about to drag the body out, Xu Zhiqiong jumped up and ran away.
Concentrate on Baihui, leap into the clouds, and quickly go to the small black room...
No, the power of imagery is still not enough.
This thing recovers too slowly.
It might be easier to go to Yilangyuan.
Yilang's seal is not on his body, but in Yang Wu's hand.
By spinning around in circles and making a key to open the door, you can either go to the Yilang Courtyard or the Punishment Division.
Forget it, it’s better not to spin in circles. If you miss, you will be caught up by King Huai and you will die again!
Then run!
All the sergeants were stunned. No one dared to move. Someone shouted: "Your Majesty, the corpse is fake!"
"Fuck you!" King Huai said angrily, "This bastard cheated his death, come after me!"
A group of people chased after him, and Xu Zhiqiong ran as fast as he could.
Where has the dean gone?
King Huai led people up to Baihu Mountain, and you were unprepared?
Go to the dean?
do not.
Wuche Academy cannot afford to tolerate King Huai's troubles. Don't bring trouble to the dean. First, find a way to return to the Deng Yamen. King Huai does not dare to act wildly in the Imperial City.
Xu Zhiqiong rushed down Baihu Mountain and headed straight for Wanganjing. King Huai led his soldiers in hot pursuit.
After chasing him to the bottom of the city, Xu Zhiqiong rushed into the city gate. When Wu Shanxing saw Xu Zhiqiong, he was shocked.
"You, you are..."
"Brother, I will tell you some things later. King Huai is chasing me behind me!"
Wu Shanxing said: "Quickly go! I will help you resist for a while!"
Xu Zhiqiong then ran away, and King Huai arrived shortly afterwards. Wu Shanxing ordered people to close the city gate.
King Huai shouted at the foot of the city: "Which bird dares to close the city gate, open the city gate, and come out to answer!"
Wu Shanxing shouted from the top of the city: "Who is making noise below the city?"
King Huai ordered the flag to be raised, and a sergeant shouted: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. If you don't recognize the person, don't you recognize the flag?"
Wu Shanxing said: "It's late at night and foggy, so I can't see the flag clearly. Tonight is the Flower Festival. In order to prevent beggars from outside the city from coming into the city to cause trouble, the west gate is temporarily closed. Please take a detour elsewhere!"
Tan Yunfeng, the commander of the imperial army, said angrily: "Who do you think you are? How dare you be so arrogant before the prince comes?"
Wu Shanxing showed no fear: "I am the gatekeeper of Ximen City. According to military regulations, when there is an emergency, the city gates should be closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Everyone, if you really have important matters to enter the city, please go elsewhere!"
"You are so brave!"
No matter how much King Huai scolded him, Wu Shanxing refused to open the city gate. In desperation, King Huai could only go around to the south gate to enter the city.
By the time he entered the city, Xu Zhiqiong had already run back to Zhangdeng Yamen.
The old lantern guard Ning Wenyi saw Xu Zhiqiong and almost lost his breath. Xu Zhiqiong didn't say much and went directly into the main hall of the Yamen.
Zhong Shen and others were changing clothes in the main hall. When they saw Xu Zhiqiong, they exclaimed: "Zhiqiong, it's you!"
Xu Zhiqiong quickly saluted and said, "It's me, the commander!"
Zhong Shen shouted to the people around him: "Quick, you're cheating, hold on!"
"Don't press it, I'm not dead, I'm alive!"
…
There was a big chaos in the yamen, and it took a while to calm down. Zhong Shen asked Xu Zhiqiong: "Zhiqiong, please tell me, what is going on?"
Xu Zhiqiong could not answer. Just as Zhong Shen was anxious, he suddenly heard someone coming from outside the door to report: "King Huai is here and wants to search the Lantern Yamen."
Qiao Shungang said: "Commander, please find a place to hide for a while, and I will deal with it."
Zhong Shen was supposed to live in Longtuge, but she sneaked out tonight. If King Huai saw her, it would be difficult to explain the matter.
But it's hard to explain, but it has to be explained, Qiao Shungang couldn't stop King Huai.
Zhong Shen straightened his clothes and came outside the Yamen.
King Huai smiled coldly: "Xueshi Zhong, you are so bold. Who told you to leave Longtuge at will?"
Zhong Shen didn't explain. If he explained, he would lose.
He was not a subordinate of King Huai and had no obligation to explain to him.
"Your Highness King Huai, what do you want to do in our Imperial City?"
King Huai said: "I'm here to arrest the villain."
Zhong Shen laughed and said: "A villain just died in the prince's family, but he came out to catch the villain again. There are quite a lot of villains we have encountered recently."
Don't follow King Huai's train of thought, don't have any meaningless arguments with him, this is not an ordinary situation, don't make meaningless maneuvers.
Zhong Shen wants to anger him.
King Huai was really angered: "Zhong Shen, please get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."
Zhong Shen smiled and said, "If I don't let you, what can you do?"
King Huai ordered the sergeant: "Go to Zhangdeng Yamen and search out Xu Zhiqiong for me!"
A group of sergeants rushed forward. Zhong Shen waved his hand, and a pit suddenly appeared on the street. Dozens of sergeants all fell into the pit, leaving only King Huai outside the pit.
Mohist's third-grade technique, take whatever you want.
Bell Shen can summon the traps she has made at any time.
King Huai's face turned pale. When a third-grade cultivator really wanted to take action, he knew exactly what he should do.
"Remember what happens tonight, I want to go to His Majesty to seek justice!"
King Huai led the people away, and Zhong Shen returned to the main hall, looked at Xu Zhiqiong, and was silent for a long time.
Qiao Shungang said: "Zhiqiong, run away and leave the capital overnight. We only said that we have never seen you."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "I won't run."
Isn’t it easy to escape?
Eat something, rest for a while, and when the power of imagery is restored, you can go to the small dark room by leaping into the clouds, and then turn around and go to the Punishment Division and Yilangyuan.
King Huai has left, and the key issue now is no longer escaping.
Xu Zhiqiong wants to restore his legal status, and he believes Zhong Shen has a way.
Bell ginseng does have a solution.
"Zhiqiong, can you trust me?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
"If you trust me, follow me to the palace!"
Qiao Shungang shook his head and said: "You can't go to the palace, otherwise Liang Daguan's family will have to chop you up alive!"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I can trust the commander, so I will go to the palace."
…
Zhong Shen took Xu Zhiqiong to the palace overnight. On the way, Zhong Shen asked Xu Zhiqiong: "Tell me the truth, why can you come back from the dead?"
Naturally, Xu Zhiqiong could not tell him truthfully: "I didn't know I was dead. I just thought I slept and King Huai dug up my grave. I woke up suddenly and ran all the way back to the Yamen for fear that King Huai would kill me."
"
Zhong Shen believed that what Xu Zhiqiong said was true, but he kept shaking his head: "You can't say that. After your death, the emperor sent people to do autopsy many times. It is true that you are dead. If you say you faked your death,
, absolutely no one believes it,
You can tell me that it is the White Tiger True God who has allowed you to return to the world in recognition of your merits. Please think carefully about the details. I will only tell the emperor and I have not asked you yet. I will listen to you then."
"True God White Tiger?" Xu Zhiqiong scratched his head and asked, "How could True God White Tiger notice me, a mortal?"
Zhong Shen knew something inside, and he told Xu Zhiqiong the reason:
"The reason why Liang Daguan's family buried Wu Xu generously and pardoned the Imperial City Secretary was because the White Tiger True God was angry, rained down thunder, and destroyed the Canglong Palace. He was afraid of being punished by the True God again, so he gave Wu Xu justice.
The Liang Daguan family thought that since you died, there was no need to pardon you. Now that you are back from the dead, as long as you mention the White Tiger True God again, the Liang Daguan family will not dare to embarrass you."
Xu Zhiqiong remained silent. Zhong Shen's idea was correct, but the lie was not complete enough.
If the emperor asks, what does the White Tiger True God look like? What means will be used to bring you back to life?
To put it this way, the story is quite long.
Xu Zhiqiong could make it up, but if he was not careful, it would reveal flaws. Even if he could deceive the emperor, he could not deceive the three elders of Canglong. Their knowledge was much broader than that of Xu Zhiqiong.
The longer a lie is, the more flaws it has. If you want to hide something, you must reduce the length of the lie, and you must mix some truth into the lie, so that it has enough credibility.
What kind of lie should I make up?
Xu Zhiqiong thought about it all the way.
When he arrived at the palace, Zhong Shen asked to see the emperor, but the emperor was missing.
This incident happened so suddenly and strangely that Emperor Zhaoxing needed time to think about it.
He placed the two of them in Longtuge and slept for one night.
This night, Xu Zhiqiong only thought of one thing.
What is the shortest lie?
What does the truest lie look like?
Can you keep yourself safe with just a lie?
The power of imagery is slowly recovering, and there should be no problem in saving his life.
The yin and yang energy has also recovered a lot.
Xu Zhiqiong quietly set up a magic circle in Longtuge.
The magic circle was set up, and Xu Zhiqiong heard a voice.
"Kuansheng, you are alive!"
"Taibu, I can't bear to leave you!"
"Say something quickly!"
"If you have any questions, ask Taifu for help!"
…
At dawn the next day, Emperor Zhaoxing summoned King Huai and Xu Zhiqiong at the same time. King Huai beat his chest and stamped his feet, crying bitterly.
"Brother, Xu Zhiqiong deceived the emperor and harmed the clan. How can I give justice to my younger brother and to my poor child?"
King Huai was heartbroken and Emperor Zhaoxing was expressionless.
Emperor Zhaoxing did not reprimand Xu Zhiqiong, nor did he comfort King Huai. He did not even ask the reason why Xu Zhiqiong came back from the dead. He just looked on expressionlessly.
This is the most terrifying thing about Emperor Zhaoxing. No one knows what he is thinking.
Seeing that King Huai's mood gradually calmed down, Emperor Zhaoxing spoke slowly.
"This matter is related to the honor and disgrace of the clan and should be handed over to the three elders of Canglong Palace."
King Huai was overjoyed when he heard this. As long as Xu Zhiqiong could be sent to Canglong Palace, Xu Zhiqiong would definitely die. The third elder of Canglong was the most steadfast guardian of the clan's interests.
Emperor Zhaoxing's approach was indeed prudent. As long as he could appease King Huai, he could do whatever the Third Elder Canglong did to Xu Zhiqiong. He would not have to bear any responsibility for it anyway.
Zhong Shen also expected this. In his opinion, as long as Xu Zhiqiong involves the White Tiger True God, the third elder of Canglong will not dare to act rashly.
A group of eunuchs escorted Xu Zhiqiong to Canglong Hall. When passing by the East Palace, the prince suddenly blocked the way: "Xu Zhiqiong, you are really nothing. I have always treated you well. How can you treat my clan brother like this?"
Kill me? How could you lie to my father by cheating your own death? I will beat you to death, you traitor!"
The prince came up and started to fight. The eunuch stopped the prince and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. Your Majesty has handed over Xu Zhiqiong to Canglong Palace for disposal."
The prince snorted coldly and said: "The three elders will not let you off lightly, you are a traitor. Don't think that you can get away with it because you are cunning and cunning. Do you know what the three elders have? Do you know how many abilities the overbearing cultivators have?"
?If you dare to tell a lie, you will be shattered to pieces! Get out!"
Of course the prince didn't come to scold Xu Zhiqiong, he came to remind Xu Zhiqiong.
The most critical factor in these words is that Xu Zhiqiong does not understand Cang Long Ba Dao's skills.
Not only does he not understand it, but almost no one in Daxuan understands that the skills of Canglong cultivators are Daxuan's secrets. All members of the royal family can practice them at levels seven, eight, and nine, and many people know it.
Only Canglong Guards can practice at level seven and above. Their skills are strictly confidential and not even Zhong Shen knows about them.
In the previous battle, Liang Gongping used a dominating technique, and everyone lost their fighting power without preparedness, because no one understood the skills of the domineering system.
"If you dare to tell a lie, you will be shattered to pieces!"
What does it mean?
Does Elder Canglong have the ability to distinguish lies?
It shouldn't be possible. If one had the ability to detect lies, no secret in the world would be hidden from these three elders.
But today's response must be cautious, and the problem must be solved with the shortest and most truthful lies.
After entering the Canglong Hall, Shengci Elder Liang Gongping said nothing and first ordered Xu Zhiqiong to be taken into the dungeon.
This is the attitude, this is the correct attitude towards the royal family.
King Huai was quite satisfied with this attitude, but he did not leave immediately.
"It won't be too late for me to leave until the elders give me justice!"
"Xiankang, this matter cannot be decided overnight."
"Why can't we make a decision?" King Huai said with a serious face, "This thief had faked his death before and stayed in Zhangdeng Yamen for several days, and was buried by the traitor Lin Tianzheng of Wuche Academy. If I hadn't had doubts last night, I would have
The coffin was used to conduct an autopsy, but the thief was allowed to hide his secrets and escape.
The crime of deceiving the emperor has been proven, and the crime of murdering the royal family has been proven. This traitor should be executed in Ling Chi, the Zhang Deng Yamen and Wu Che Academy should be sealed up immediately, and Zhong Shen, Lin Tianzheng and others should be executed together!"
Liang Gongping shook his head and said: "Things are not that simple. Although Xu Zhiqiong is hateful, this matter is related to the overall situation of the country. You know what the overall situation is..."
Liang Gongping demonstrated the fourth level skill of Xini Dao - Understanding the General Body. The key core of this skill is to make simple questions very complicated so that the other party cannot understand them, thereby making the other party deeply realize their own ignorance and shallowness.
Elder Shengci was making clay, and Xu Zhiqiong was setting up a formation in the dungeon.
In the Yin and Yang Department, the green light flashed, and Taibu smiled and said: "Kang Sheng, do you really want to do this?"
Xu Zhiqiong responded in his mind: "With the White Tiger True God taking the blame, if you don't do it, it will be in vain!"
Taibu smiled and said: "Forget it, the three old men of Canglong Palace, I have suffered too much from you, so I will take revenge on you in the name of the true god."
…
Liang Gongping was having sex with Xini in the main hall, while Shengwei elder Liang Jixiong came to the dungeon to interrogate Xu Zhiqiong.
"I'm old and can't remember your name."
Xu Zhiqiong raised his head and said: "My name is Xu Zhiqiong, Qiong of the Sky."
"Aspirations are in the sky," Elder Shengwei nodded and said, "You will not escape the death penalty for deceiving the king and ignoring your superiors. But if you can answer my question truthfully, I am willing to plead with your majesty to save you from death. You first tell me why you
Can you come back from the dead?"
Elder Shengwei stared at Xu Zhiqiong fiercely, his eyes were deep and like a green dragon circling in his eyes.
Is this the skill Canglong Ba Dao uses to identify lies?
No, Xu Zhiqiong can feel the essence of the skill.
It has nothing to do with lies, what the other party wants is loyalty.
Cang Long's domineering sixth-level skills, his bravery and loyalty.
This skill can forcibly gain the other party's loyalty in a short period of time. If the other party lies, they should show strong shame and regret.
With Liang Jixiong's observation ability, even the slightest change in expression cannot escape Liang Jixiong's eyes.
This skill has two prerequisites:
First, the opponent's level does not exceed the sixth level, and Xu Zhiqiong only has a seventh-level cultivation level, which is within the effective range of the skill.
Second, the other party's face should not be too thick-skinned. A thick-skinned and high-level cultivator like Bao Jingzhong will not change his face at all when he lies.
Liang Jixiong believed that Xu Zhiqiong did not have such a deep level of cultivation.
But he didn't expect that this skill would be ineffective against Xu Zhiqiong, and Xu Zhiqiong was fully prepared.
What is the shortest lie? What is the truest lie?
Xu Zhiqiong only said four words: "I can't say."
These four words are very short and they are true.
Liang Jixiong was silent for a while and then asked: "Is this matter related to the White Tiger True God?"
Xu Zhiqiong still answered the same: "I can't say."
Liang Jixiong gritted his teeth and said, "I have a bad memory. Why are you so poor when you call me Xu?"
"Xu Zhiqiong, the sky of the sky!"
"Okay, Xu Zhiqiong! I will give you half an hour to think about it carefully. After half an hour, if you are so arrogant again, I will make your life worse than death!"
Liang Jixiong left the dungeon angrily.
"Second Elder, you are too impulsive." Xu Zhiqiong threw a stone on the ground.
Taibu sensed this and smiled slightly.
A thunderbolt fell on the Canglong Hall, the hall trembled, and dust kept falling.
Liang Gongping knelt down and held his head. When he saw King Huai beside him, he stood up quickly.
Liang Jixiong quickly returned to the dungeon, looked at Xu Zhiqiong, sighed and said: "Zhiqiong, why are you so stubborn? Come, follow me to another place to talk."
Xu Zhiqiong raised his head and said: "I have just been resurrected and my memory is not very good. Who are you?"
