A deed floated in front of Liang Wuming. It was just a thin piece of paper, but Liang Wuming couldn't help but retreat.
The moment he saw the bloody handprints, Liang Wuming quickly lowered his head.
What does it mean?
Why is he bowing his head?
He dare not look directly?
Liang Wuming stepped back slowly, quietly retreating into the magic circle, and his figure gradually disappeared.
The deed fell on the ground, and Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to pick it up.
When Xu Zhiqiong was the Qipin Yilang, he once dealt with a magistrate named Tian Jinping. This magistrate almost killed Guan Xicheng unjustly by virtue of his ability to make peace with others.
Xu Zhiqiong and a judge named Xue Yun worked together to plead guilty to Guan Xicheng. In the end, Tian Jinping was forced to death, and Xue Yun took Tian Jinping's guilt.
This was the deed left by Xue Yun to Xu Zhiqiong. He ceded Tian Jinping's crime to Xu Zhiqiong, and also taught Xu Zhiqiong a set of Xue family sword skills. It was only later that he learned that it was the halberd method.
At that time, Xue Yun claimed to be an eighth-grade judge. Xu Zhiqiong knew that he could never be an eighth-grade judge. Later, according to his master's description, Xue Yun's cultivation and status should be equivalent to his master's.
But now it seems that Xue Yun's deed is so powerful. Could it be that...
The deed left by Xue Yun scared Chang Decai away more than once. At that time, Chang Decai was still an immortal soul. Xu Zhiqiong relied on this deed to guard Yilangyuan and regarded it as a treasure of the house.
This deed is usually kept in the Zhonglang Courtyard, why did it end up on my body?
Did you take this deed with you when you went out?
It was useless to think too much, Xu Zhiqiong quickly put away the deed, picked up the Zhonglang Seal, and took Yang Wu back to Zhonglang Courtyard.
Taibu, who was hiding in the dark, thought hard for a long time and didn't know what was going on.
Did a piece of paper scare Liang Wuming away?
Liang Wuming has the body of a true dragon and should have a first-level cultivation level. Even if he doesn't, he is very close to it.
Why was he scared away by a piece of paper?
What kind of paper is that?
Why does this crazy person still have such a magic weapon?
Forget it, let's ask him again later. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. It's hard to say when Liang Wuming will come out again.
Taibu arranged a magic circle and returned to Yin Yang Division through Qian Mo Tower.
Xu Zhiqiong arrived at Zhonglang Courtyard, and Xia Hu was waiting in the courtyard.
The first time I saw Xu Zhiqiong, I shed two lines of tears.
"Officer!" Xia Hu hugged Xu Zhiqiong tightly, and Xu Zhiqiong hugged Xia Hu tightly.
He carried Xia Hu into the main room and closed the door. Xia Hu didn't struggle.
"Come on, don't be so anxious. I'll give you this. Seeing you is better than anything else. Wait a minute. Why are you turning me over? What are you trying to do?"
Xia Hu screamed miserably, and Xu Zhiqiong bit a tooth mark on the fat peach egg on the left side.
"What are you going to do?" Xia Hu was frightened. Before she could react, Xu Zhiqiong bit the fat peach egg on the right again and made a mark with his teeth.
Xia Hu said with tears in her eyes: "Pi, what grudge do you and I have?"
Xu Zhiqiong licked his lips and said: "If you think my temperament has changed in the future, someone must be impersonating me.
Let me ask you, who bit the teeth marks on his body? Where did he bite them?
If he can't tell me, he's a fake, he's impersonating me, and you must not follow him!"
"What is real or fake? What are you pretending to be? What do you mean?" Xia Hu cried for a long time while holding her arms over Feitao, and said to Xu Zhiqiong, "First go to the Punishment Department. In order to find you, we have all tried our best to find you.
Life!"
The two of them went to the Evil Punishment Department. Xia Hu had a hard time walking all the way, and it hurt so much to move.
Wang Yaner and Zhao Baijiao walked towards each other and exclaimed: "Ma Zhonglang, you are back!"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Back!"
The two were extremely happy and prepared wine and tea for Xu Zhiqiong to celebrate.
Xia Hu stood aside and said with a stern face: "Why don't you leave a tooth mark?"
Wang Yaner was stunned: "What teeth mark?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Joking, joking."
"Who is kidding you?" Xia Hu said in a cold tone, "Why don't they leave tooth marks?"
Xu Zhiqiong waved his hand and said: "They are not my wives."
Everyone went to Chang Shi's Mansion together, and Lu Yanyou hurried back not long after. He ran so fast that he even forgot to step on the stilts. When he saw that Xu Zhiqiong was still alive, a stone finally fell to the ground.
"I'm going to tell Doctor Bai that in order to find you, Doctor Bai sent out all his judges."
Xia Hu said coldly: "Doctor Bai, don't you need to leave a tooth mark? What if someone goes to the Good Reward Division and pretends to be you?"
Xu Zhiqiong whispered: "Don't say it as a joke."
"You have to leave one for Lu Changshi no matter what, just in case someone comes to punish the evil director for pretending to be you..."
Lu Yanyou was stunned: "What teeth mark?"
"It's a joke, it's a joke!" Xu Zhiqiong laughed repeatedly.
The judges all received the news. Xia Hu said: "Go to the Yin and Yang Division. The thief is also thinking about you. At least let her know."
When they arrived at the Yin and Yang Division, Chang De was waiting at the door and came up to him with tears on his face: "Master, you are back. I am really useless. I failed to protect the master. Let me see if you are not injured."
Xia Hu lowered his eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense and take off your lower clothes."
Chang Decai blushed: "What are you taking off your clothes for?"
"Leave your teeth in case one day someone pretends to be your master..."
Xu Zhiqiong quickly covered Xia Hu's mouth, and while he was talking, Tao Huayuan walked out of the Yin and Yang Division.
She had already received news from Taibu and knew that Xu Zhiqiong was back safely. The moment she saw Xu Zhiqiong, she felt calmer.
"You little thief, I knew you wouldn't die."
"Thief mother-in-law, don't you live a good life?"
The two looked at each other. The last time they looked at each other like this was in Huangligang. Tao Huayuan was trapped by Xiao Songting and Bi Wusheng and almost lost her life. Xu Zhiqiong tried his best to save her, but Tao Huayuan passed out on the spot and remained asleep.
Arrived yesterday.
It was almost, almost, that we would never see each other again.
Xia Hu was here. Tao Huayuan wanted to try her best to restrain herself, but she heard Xia Hu say: "Find a quiet place to talk."
Xu Zhiqiong was very nervous, and Tao Huayuan smiled: "What I said before still count, right?"
Xia Hu nodded: "Of course it counts."
What counts?
What did they say?
Tao Huayuan took the two of them into the Yin and Yang Division. Chang Decai did not dare to go in and was still waiting at the door.
After entering Tao Huayuan's room, Xia Hu said to Xu Zhiqiong: "I promised Miss Tao that if I can save you this time, I will let you marry her as well."
Xu Zhiqiong laughed dryly and said: "This is not nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, this is your wife, just leave her teeth marks."
"This is no nonsense."
"Who is messing with you!" Xia Hu was furious, "Are you just bullying me? I'm not born from human flesh? Hurry up and hold me down!"
That’s all, I can’t do it without staying!
The two men stepped forward and held down Tao Huayuan. Tao Huayuan said in panic: "What are you doing? Why are you pulling my clothes? No, you can't look at it, you thief. You, just look at it. Don't bite, it hurts."
, hurt, hurt..."
Two teeth marks were left, and Tao Huayuan looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a sad expression.
Not long after, Liang Jixiong arrived at the Yin and Yang Division.
"Zhiqiong, good boy! I knew you could come back safely! Can you tell me who captured you?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I am about to discuss this matter with the elders. Is there anyone named Liang Wuming among the Canglong Guards in the past?"
"Liang Wuming..." Liang Jixiong didn't remember this person, "That's all, let's meet with Taifu first and then go to Canglong Hall to discuss it."
Onmyoji went to convey the message and returned in a short while.
Taibu has other important matters and does not want to see guests.
The two of them were about to go to Canglong Palace. When they reached the door, Liang Jixiong hesitated.
"Zhiqiong, I won't go to Canglong Hall today."
Xu Zhiqiong was puzzled, but Liang Jixiong couldn't explain clearly.
He thought of Lord Dun Wanxing's attitude, and he always felt a thorn in his heart.
A carriage arrived in front of the Yin and Yang Division, and Emperor Changle got out of the carriage.
Xu Zhiqiong quickly saluted, and Emperor Changle stepped forward to support him: "Brother, don't talk too much, go to my place to have a drink."
Liang Jixiong felt relieved: "Since your Majesty has invited me, there is no reason not to go. Zhiqiong, you go to the palace first. I will go back to Canglong Hall to deal with some chores. We will meet again tomorrow."
Xu Zhiqiong followed Emperor Changle to the palace. Before leaving, Xia Hu and Tao Huayuan gave a few special instructions:
Xia Hu said: "If you meet the Sixth Princess, don't forget to leave a tooth mark."
Tao Huayuan said: "You have to keep two of them and bite them deeper. The princess is of noble birth, so don't neglect her."
When they arrived at the palace, the prince set up a table of wine in the Jiying Hall, and Liang Yuyao also came to accompany him. During the dinner, Emperor Changle asked about the identity of the person, and Xu Zhiqiong briefly replied: "The high-level cultivator Canglong Domineering is no longer in the mortal world.
Lie, he said his name is Liang Wuming."
"Liang Wuming..." Emperor Changle thought for a long time, "I will check the genealogy someday. There should be no unknown generation in the clan."
Liang Yuyao said: "Let's find out, this is definitely a ghost name made up by that guy. Since Zhiqiong has been targeted by this ruthless person, he might as well live in the palace from now on and don't run around outside."
Emperor Changle agreed. Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "It's not convenient for me to live in the palace."
Emperor Changle said: "What's the inconvenience? We brothers are not from the same roots, but we are also born from the same lotus. As long as the woman on my side is not a queen..."
Liang Yuyao quickly interrupted Emperor Changle: "It's inconvenient. Why don't you stay in my Yuyao Palace? I'll keep a close eye on you."
"Where are you tight?" Emperor Changle looked at Liang Yuyao.
Liang Yuyao's cheeks were slightly red and she looked at Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "If I move here, I'm afraid I will implicate Your Majesty. If that ruthless man chases him into the palace, who can protect His Majesty's safety?"
The palace today is not as good as it was back then. The palace was attended by Chen Shuncai and the Queen, as well as a large number of high-quality eunuchs.
After the battle at Liangfenyuan, Chen Shuncai left, the queen was imprisoned, and the eunuchs suffered numerous casualties. The most capable person in the palace was only the fourth-rank chamberlain Lu Yunxi.
In other words, it is difficult for the emperor to protect himself now. He does not need a ruthless hand like Liang Wuming. As long as a third-grade person breaks into the palace, Liang Yuyang will not be able to parry it.
"First transfer Zhong Shen and Chu Xin to the palace." Xu Zhiqiong suggested.
Emperor Changle shook his head and said, "That's inappropriate."
Liang Yuyao was surprised and said: "Why is it inappropriate? Zhiqiong is talking about serious matters. It is indeed difficult to say that the palace is stable now."
Emperor Changle picked up the wine glass and took a sip alone: "Why do you leave so many masters in the palace? Why don't you let them do something serious?"
Liang Yuyao frowned and said: "You are the emperor, so naturally someone will harm you. Isn't protecting the emperor a serious matter?"
Emperor Changle peeled off a crab and handed it to Xu Zhiqiong: "Tell me, why do so many people come to harm me? Am I so hated by others?"
Liang Yuyao didn't know how to answer: "This is the case for kings in all dynasties. The palace must be heavily guarded, and it cannot be said that it only attracts hatred..."
"I think they just attract people to hate them. They also know that they are hated by others, so they are afraid of being like that," Emperor Chang Le said with a smile.
"There are so many masters in the capital. If any assassin breaks into the capital with all his strength, and the second brother, Taibu, Zhong Shen, and Chu Xin don't stop them, they just watch me being killed and don't care about me, then I It’s really hateful, it’s better to just die.”
Xu Zhiqiong stared at Emperor Changle for a long time and suddenly smiled.
After the banquet was over, Xu Zhiqiong left the palace and went to Li Qi Tea House.
"Painter Li, you said you wanted to make a bet with me before, and I agreed tonight."
Li Shabai was painting a portrait, a portrait of Liang Wuming: "Xu Qianhu, you must think carefully. The bet I made at the beginning was that if Emperor Changle cannot keep the prosperity of Daxuan, you must join my painting method. Be my disciple."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "I agreed, but if Emperor Changle makes Daxuan prosperous and prosperous, what should you say?"
Li Shabai raised his head and said, "Tell me a bet."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "If I win, from today on, every spring painting you draw will belong to me!"
Li Shabai frowned: "Every painting belongs to you?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Don't you dare to gamble?"
…
That night, Xu Zhiqiong stayed at the Marquis Mansion.
In the past, he always liked to live in Zhonglangyuan, thinking it was safer there.
Now that Bi Wusheng knows the location of Zhonglang Courtyard, it is hard to say whether Liang Wuming knows it. Zhonglang Courtyard is no longer an absolutely safe place.
Naturally, the capital city is not absolutely safe, but when faced with danger, Xu Zhiqiong can at least shake people off.
That night, he brought Xia Hu, Chang Decai and Yang Wu over. He wanted to take this opportunity to have sex with Xia Hu directly. However, Xia Hu was injured and could not lie on his back, so he refused Xu Zhiqiong's request.
"Madam, it's okay not to lie on your back!"
"Thief Pi, you must be thinking about it in your dreams!"
Xia Hu moved to the east courtyard, and Chang Decai and Yang Wu lived in the wings on both sides. Although Xu Zhiqiong still slept alone in the main room, he was more popular at least.
After suffering in Huntiandang for two days, Xu Zhiqiong felt tired and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.
After a short sleep, he suddenly heard someone calling the door. Xu Zhiqiong was lost in the lake and opened his eyes.
The Marquis Mansion is very large, and the front door is far away from the main room, so ordinary people cannot hear the door knocking.
The judge's hearing was unusual, and Xu Zhiqiong heard clearly. He put on some clothes, walked through the main courtyard and front yard, and opened the front door himself.
It's shabby to say the least. A majestic marquis has to do things like open the door himself.
Standing outside the door was a chambermaid, who looked to be in his forties or fifties and looked unfamiliar.
"The emperor declares that you have entered the palace and come with our family!"
Xu Zhiqiong stared at the chamberlain, looked him up and down and said, "What do you call me?"
The chamberlain looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "This is not what you should ask."
This waiter has such a bad temper!
The emperor asked me to come into the palace so late. What could happen?
Seeing that the waiter is not a good person, he will definitely refuse to tell me if I ask him.
The chamberlain prepared the carriage and made an invitation gesture. Xu Zhiqiong sat in the carriage. After walking for a short time, he heard the chamberlain shout from outside the carriage: "We're here."
The Marquis Palace is indeed not far from the imperial palace. When Xu Zhiqiong got out of the car, he discovered that this was not the imperial palace, but the Canglong Palace.
"What is this going to do?" Xu Zhiqiong asked.
"Don't ask, just wait here." The waiter smiled sinisterly.
"Why am I asking you?" Xu Zhiqiong grabbed the waiter.
The chamberlain was immediately frightened and said with a frightened look on his face: "This is not our fault, this is the Holy Father's order, and our family is obeying orders!"
The emperor asked him to bring me to Canglong Palace?
Xu Zhiqiong glanced at Canglong Palace and found that it was different from before.
What exactly is different, I can't tell at the moment.
Suddenly two rows of Canglong Guards walked out of the main hall, totaling at least two hundred people.
After several battles, almost all the Canglong Guards were dead. The second brother couldn't even get fifty people together. How could there be so many Canglong Guards?
A man walked out of the hall, stood in the middle of the two teams of Canglong Guards, and shouted to Xu Zhiqiong: "You sycophant, why don't you come forward and die!"
This is not the second brother.
Xu Zhiqiong recognized this person, he was none other than Liang Wuming.
