"When I came, I heard that the palace trespasser didn't discover his love until the inner palace. The emperor was frightened. You divide into several teams to chase this person and his companions. I'll go to the inner palace to see first.
Look, just in case someone takes the opportunity to do harm to the emperor again." This big man with blue hair and purple beard is naturally none other than Jin Lingkeqing Zhongqiu Longzi. He said in a deep voice at this moment.
"Yes, I'll do it now, little one." The Qi Refiner guard immediately agreed and passed the order.
At this time, the other Jinling Keqing followed the instructions and divided into several teams and chased them out of the palace.
After Qiu Longzi whispered a few instructions to another person, he turned around and headed straight for the inner palace with several other close cultivators.
After a while, after passing several heavily guarded sentries, he finally arrived in front of a small and exquisite palace. He saw brightly lit lights inside and more than a hundred murderous silver-armored guards standing outside. Each one wore armor and carried a sword, divided into several groups.
The platoon was blocking the entrance to the palace, showing no intention of giving way to Qiu Longzi!
"Qiu Longzi, pay homage to Your Majesty! Is the Emperor well?" Qiu Long stopped in front of these soldiers, his eyes flashed slightly, and he clasped his fists in the direction of the main hall and asked.
"Commander Qiu, I'm fine. I was just frightened by the thief once or twice. I'll be fine if I get more rest. Can you capture the thief who broke into the palace?" A weak man's voice came from the hall.
"I hope your Majesty is fine. The thief was about to be captured, but unfortunately there was another person to help him, so he escaped from the palace without warning. But your Majesty, don't worry, I have sent people to block the four gates and sent additional manpower.
I'm going to chase him, I believe there will be news back soon. Also, does your majesty know the true face of this thief and the purpose of entering the palace?" Qiu Longzi asked calmly.
"No. She was suddenly hit by me, and she always wore a mask on her face. How could she possibly see her true face? Huh, do you still doubt me?" The voice in the hall suddenly dropped.
"I don't dare. I'm just worried that this thief has some ulterior motives when he enters the palace, and that he has other accomplices hiding in the palace." Although the big man said he was guilty, he couldn't help but look at the palace with a trace of suspicion.
color.
He heard correctly, and the voices in the hall sounded a little out of breath.
But Emperor Xuanzhi was also a Qi practitioner himself, so if he was just a little "frightened", he would never be like this.
It was obvious that the emperor was hiding something and did not tell the truth to his commander Jin Lingke.
"Oh, it turns out that Commander Qiu loves the king. It's no wonder if you don't know! But this thief is so bold that he dares to enter the palace and disturb me. You must catch this man and make sure he is alive or dead.
Exactly! Go and take care of this immediately." The man in the hall said in a slightly softer voice and gritted his teeth.
"Yes, I obey your order! But just in case, I will leave these men here to strengthen the defense here." Qiu Longzi agreed, but after rolling his eyes a few times, he said this again.
"No need. I have already sent someone to transfer Commander Lu's subordinate Jin Lingke. Commander Qiu, you just need to concentrate on catching this 'palace trespasser.'" Emperor Xuanzhi's voice deepened again in the main hall.
said.
"So that's the case, then I'm relieved." Qiu Longzi was a little surprised at first when he heard this, but then he said with a submissive expression.
Afterwards, he resigned and left with a few close cultivators around him.
"Boss Qiu, something is wrong. I just inquired. One of the palace attendants heard the emperor's scream before seeing the palace intruder rushing out of the emperor's residence, and his sword was full of blood.
Blood. Moreover, the lot in the palace was so powerful that several other seclusion commanders did not care about it and had no intention of leaving seclusion. And the emperor had no intention of blaming and punishing them. This is a bit too strange." A man with a long hair said.
The skinny old man with triangular eyes walked up to Qiu Longzi and whispered.
"Of course I see something wrong with it, but we can't forcefully break into the emperor's residence. Let me lead people to chase the escaped intruder first, and you can secretly send a few brothers to keep an eye on him.
Palace, if there is any trouble, report it to me immediately." Qiu Longzi ordered with a gloomy face.
"Don't worry, Boss Qiu, I understand how to do it." The triangular-eyed old man nodded with understanding.
So after a while, the group of people came to the previous high wall of the palace again.
Qiu Longzi glanced at a piece of black blood on the nearby ground and immediately waved, calling a nearby guard to ask a few questions in a low voice, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
He flicked his sleeves, and a golden puppy as big as a fist flew out of it. Then he clasped his hands and whispered something. Immediately, the golden puppy circled around the black blood several times, and used
After sniffing deeply for a few times, he darted away in a certain direction.
"Let's go, follow the spirit dog! The blood stains on the silk handkerchief were left by the previous palace trespasser. As long as she is within a hundred miles, there is no way she can escape the tracking of my thousand-mile dog." Zi Xian said ferociously.
After saying this, he led the others and followed the puppy! Fall down.
At the same time, in the inner palace hall surrounded by silver armored men.
Xuanzhi, the master of Xuanjing, was sitting cross-legged on a big bed with a pale face. When he looked to the side, one of his arms was missing.
Behind him, a pair of slender jade hands pressed against his back, pouring a stream of light blue spiritual power into his body.
The owner of these hands is Empress Dowager Dong!
As the amount of blue light injected into Xuanzhi's body increased, an expression of extreme pain appeared on his face. Suddenly, a blue light flashed from his broken arm, and dense blood threads intertwined and jumped out. They squirmed and grew in length, and vaguely formed again
A brand new arm.
After a full candle's incense time, Xuanzhi shouted lowly, and a blue light suddenly flashed on the surface of his new arm, and it was completely restored to its original state.
Except that the surface skin of this arm is a little too white and tender, it is almost the same as before.
"Okay. I have helped you completely dissolve the power of the elixir and regenerate an arm. This way, when you go to court in two days, you will no longer arouse suspicion. But why are you so careless?
When I was transforming, I was bumped into by the human cultivator, and an arm was cut off with a sword." Empress Dowager Dong put her hands back and said with a bit of dissatisfaction.
"How do you know, kid, that there are cultivators who disguise themselves as palace maids and sneak into my dormitory? According to past practice, these mortal palace maids will be executed directly by my own hands after witnessing my transformation. However, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's faction,
The two Sea Clan guards have been protecting me closely, I'm afraid I'm really close to being doomed this time." Xuanzhi also replied with an unusually gloomy expression.
"Huh, when I sent these two to you before, you looked reluctant. Now you know their benefits. They are the servants of our Dong family in the clan.
You are my son, so I will naturally be loyal to you without any second thoughts." Empress Dowager Dong glanced at Xuan Zhi and said.
"Mother, stop talking. My child was ignorant before, but now he knows he was wrong. But although they are powerful, there are people to support the intruders. There will be no problem in chasing them out alone, right?" Xuanzhi smiled bitterly, and then became a little worried.
said.
"Don't worry about this. The palace intruder was originally possessed by the two of them's unique secret technique, and now he is probably half dead. Even if there is someone to help him, he will never be their opponent. But this palace intruder escaped in the end
At that time, the method used was a bit strange, it seemed to be a very authentic sword cultivator, not like an ordinary cultivator! Could it be that she is a female cultivator from Tianyue Sect?" After Empress Dowager Dong pondered for a while, she guessed Hu Chunniang as soon as she opened her mouth.
's true identity.
"What, are they cultivators from the Tianyue Sect? Could it be that those major sects have discovered what happened to us?" Xuanzhi was startled when he heard this, his face turned "swish", and he was completely drained of blood.
"If the Tianyue Sect and other five sects had heard the news, they would have sent spiritual masters to directly sweep the entire Xuanjing. How could they have sent a mere spiritual disciple to frighten the snake? It cannot be ruled out that this person has unintentionally acquired some sword cultivation inheritance.
, Only then can you display the art of sword cultivation." After hearing this, Empress Dowager Dong shook her head and said.
"That's most likely it. However, we have never found out who the Queen Mother is, the supervisory disciple of Tianyue Sect in Xuanjing.
Could she be the one who broke into the palace tonight?" Xuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he remembered something and asked again solemnly.
"The supervisory messenger of Tianyue Sect? Well, what you said is not impossible. Forget it, no matter where this girl comes from, if she is a dead person, it will not be a big deal. In half a year, this girl will
It’s time to start major clan affairs. By then, even if the five sects hear the news, they will have no time to take care of us." Empress Dowager Dong nodded first, then said with a sneer.
"I hope I can survive these six months." After Xuanzhi heard this, his face was uncertain for a while, but he finally said with a wry smile.
Liu Ming held the young woman in his arms and walked quickly through the quiet alley. After a while, he left the palace far away and plunged into a small bamboo forest between two streets.
There is a small stone pavilion built in this bamboo forest. Except for two paths, there is no other way out.
He had chosen this place in advance. Not only was it extremely remote, but no one would stay here again at night.
As soon as he rushed into the stone pavilion, he put the young woman on the ground, then reached out and took off her mask.
Suddenly, in front of his eyes, a beautiful face in her twenties with a face as white as jade and a beautiful face appeared. However, her cheeks were red at the moment and her lips were black and chapped.
Liu Ming's heart sank, and he immediately pressed his hand on the woman's forehead.
