In the Prince's Mansion, in the simple study room.
King Haozhen of England was sitting quietly on the chair behind his desk, his hands crossed in front of each other, caged in his sleeves, and his eyebrows lowered.
He doesn't have the aura of his father Hao Yuntu to dominate the world, he doesn't have the arrogance of his eldest brother Hao Qi, and he doesn't have the heroism of his second brother Hao Hong. He looks like a stable old man at a young age, and he looks like he is content with being a wealthy man.
How energetic.
There was a piece of paper on the desk, which was the letter written by Niu Youdao. It was just a few words, but Haozhen stared at it for a long time.
There were three people standing side by side opposite the desk. The car from Daqiumen was not late. Xie Longfei from Xuanbing Sect and Gao Jianhou from Tianhuo Sect were the three sects responsible for Haozhen's safety.
Next to the desk, Mu Jiu, the eunuch in charge of the palace, always has a faint smile on his face, and his back is a little rickety.
"What a country with so many beauties that have attracted countless heroes to bow down. How big of a mind can one write such words!" Haozhen sighed sincerely, raised his eyes and looked at several people, "What do you think of this letter?"
Che Buchi: "The following few sentences changed the tone and changed the tone."
Xie Longfei: "It seems like a threat."
Gao Jianhou: "Succeeding as a king or losing as a bandit depends on the prince's thoughts. It's like an ultimatum issued to the prince."
Haozhen: "Do you think this king should see him?"
Che Buchi said: "A bit arrogant. I know a little about this person. When we were at the Ice and Snow Pavilion, he was slapped in the face by Chu Anlou, the shopkeeper of the Rainbow Inn. He probably used the power of the Ice and Snow Pavilion to teach him a lesson. This shows that this person is used to putting on airs.
The prince should be firm in his strategy and ignore it. You can't do anything to the prince if you show him off. If he really dares to go too far, the three of us will take care of him. It's not his turn to show off his authority here."
Haozhen: "Killing the Yan envoy Song Long, Zhuo Chao, defeating the Kunlin tree, the waterfall platform shocking Xiaoxiao, and the Tianjing Lake auction, what can we say about these things? In my opinion, this man still has some real abilities."
Che Buchi tried to ask: "Your Highness, do you want to see him?"
"I am also hesitating." Haozhen sighed, turned his head and looked to the side, and asked, "Mu Jiu, what do you think?"
Mu Jiu bowed: "The prince has his own decision to make!"
Haozhen: "We are all our own people here. If you have anything to say, say it and let everyone listen and think about it."
"Yes!" Mu Jiu bowed again and only said one sentence, "General Manager Bu Xun visited him personally."
Haozhen: "This is where I am in trouble. I don't know what the relationship between him and my father is, and I don't know what his intention is in meeting me. Otherwise, why should I pay attention to him."
Mu Jiu said again: "Old slave has paid close attention to Niu Youdao's various pasts recently. It is said that he was put under house arrest by the Shangqing Sect for five years when he was a boy. After leaving the Shangqing Sect, the disciples of the Shangqing Sect intercepted him and killed him.
He committed suicide! Could it be that the Shangqing Sect couldn't kill him while he was under house arrest? Why did he wait until he left the Shangqing Sect before killing him? It shows that this person is extremely tolerant and failed to give the Shangqing Sect a chance to kill him when he was in the Shangqing Sect.
.”
"At the Tianjing Lake auction, Kunlinshu forced him again and again. He was humiliated in public, but he could still swallow his anger, humiliate, and voluntarily admit defeat. He also pretended to be defeated until Kunlinshu forced him to retreat. He immediately prepared a way out and then acted decisively.
How could the Kunlin tree be alive if others had not stopped him from killing him? This matter was exactly the same as what happened with the Shangqing Sect. He was patient at first, but once he was forced to retreat, he would attack without mercy! It can be seen from this that
Not only is this person extremely tolerant, he is also a man with a fierce heart!"
"Shangqing Zong opposed him, will he be safe now? Kunlinshu made things difficult for him, what will happen now? Yan sent Song Long to make things difficult for Zhao, and he was killed in Jinzhou. Yan used lurking people among the people
A large number of secret spies from the country failed to kill him, but instead suffered heavy losses in various countries. After that, Yan Guoting Wei Song Jiu Ming was secretly deposed from power."
"Where is the Song family now? They have been wiped out! The Yan State was furious, but what happened to him? Did the Bingxue Pavilion cause turmoil, but did they hurt him at all? And the Liuxian Sect, Fuyun Sect, Lingxiu Sect, and Lingxiu Sect, who were originally attached to the Song family
The mountain is now guarding him, how strange it is!"
"Wubian Pavilion Zhuochao stopped him, but now there are no corpses left! When he came to Qijing, Xiao Xiao provoked him, and the three lives of Fei Waterfall Terrace were shocked in one fell swoop! His Majesty tried to make things difficult for him, but he failed to hurt him at all. After that, he went to visit the chief manager, and again
There is the Jade Princess and her night party. The matchmaker has been in Qijing for many years and does not follow ordinary people, but she finally falls in love with him at first sight and washes her hands in the golden basin."
"Based on all this, the old slave thinks that this man is quite capable. He has the ability to change clouds and rain. He can open roads in the mountains and fill bridges in floods. He is a man who will use any means and will not give up until he achieves his goal. Now, he has set his sights on the prince again. The prince has repeatedly
You refuse to see me, but he persists in clinging to you. Does Your Majesty think he will let you go if he doesn't see you?"
These words caused everyone in the study to fall into silence.
Haozhen recovered from the silence and asked, "What do you think?"
Xie Longfei: "From the manager's analysis, it might not be a bad thing if the prince can make friends with this person."
Che Buzi said: "Making friends depends on whether it is beneficial or not. You might as well see what he wants to do first. If you don't agree with him, don't confront him forcefully. It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. You can report it directly to His Majesty. Don't hide it."
, tell the truth to Your Majesty, if anything happens, someone taller will take care of it."
Mu Jiu praised, "Mr. Che's words make sense."
Haozhen glanced at Gao Jianhou, who was silent, and said with a smile: "How is the Kunlin tree from your sect doing now?"
"I was proud and arrogant. This time I got a good beating from Niu Youdao, and my arrogance was completely beaten away. I looked at it once when I went back, and my body was fine. But after I came back from that auction, I didn't say a word."
As I said, he went from one extreme to the other without saying a word. He is a person with an extreme personality. I don’t know what he will do in the future." Gao Jianhou sighed, and also knew what Hao Zhen meant by asking this question.
It was not that he really cared about Kun Linshu, but that he cared about his attitude. He expressed his position: "Your Majesty, don't worry about my thoughts. The affairs of the sect are the sect's business, and the prince's affairs are the prince's business. Whatever the prince wants to do,
Just go ahead and do it, if I can stand in this study, Your Majesty should know my feelings!"
Hao Zhen nodded slightly, took out his hand from his sleeve, and took the piece of paper on the case, "The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to bend over! I also want to see what he wants to see me for. Mu Jiu, you have to do this.
Make arrangements!”
With this opinion, the British Palace and Fufangyuan quickly contacted each other. The British Palace wanted to meet openly and openly, but Niu Youdao refused and did not want to meet in public. He insisted on meeting Haozhen secretly. For this reason, the British Palace became suspicious.
Heavy, both sides wasted a lot of words...
The mountain was high and covered with green trees. Fire Phoenix carried his food box up the mountain and returned to the small house in the forest, but no one was seen in the house.
Huo Fenghuang was surprised. For such a long time, his senior brother had been recovering here. Even after he recovered, he had never left the house. Where had he gone?
She put down her things, looked around the house and saw no one, then went out to look for him again.
As soon as she came out, she saw a man flying towards her. As soon as he saw her, he said urgently: "Senior sister, something happened to Senior Brother Kun!"
In an instant, Huo Fenghuang turned pale and said in a trembling voice, "What's wrong, senior brother?"
The man said: "Senior brother went to the solitary confinement place!"
"..." Huo Fenghuang was startled, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he had gone to a forbidden place, and that he was thinking of a senior brother as a short-sightedness.
Without saying a word, she quickly flew away and headed straight for the forbidden area in the back mountain.
The two came to the forbidden area one after another, and found that the master Pang Zhuo was quarreling with the mountain guard Botian Ren'an of the forbidden area. They were quarreling so much that they were blushing and necking, accusing each other of neglecting their duties!
"Master, what's wrong?" Huo Fenghuang hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Seeing her coming, the two old men fell silent for a moment.
"Yunshang, your stupid senior brother has entered the lightless cave." Pang Zhuo looked heartbroken.
Fire Phoenix raised his eyes and looked at the dark, rugged entrance of the cave in front of him.
She naturally knew what it meant to enter the Lightless Cave. The Lightless Cave is the retreat place of the Tianhuo Sect. The retreat here is different from the ordinary closed-door practice. Entering the Lightless Cave is not a child's play;
Really, once you get in, it will be at least three years!
For three years, you are not allowed to take a step outside without permission, and you are not allowed to have any contact with the outside world. It is dark inside!
Regardless of whether you are in true seclusion or fake seclusion, no matter whether you can achieve any achievements in cultivation, staying in a dark place for three years is not something a normal person can endure. There is no one to play with you there, so you can imagine what it would be like.
But then again, just because you can stay in that dark place for three years, as a disciple with such great perseverance, you can practice there with peace of mind, and the Sky Fire Church fully supports it!
All the training resources, including food, are provided by the Sky Fire Sect, and there are people outside the forbidden area to protect you so that no one will disturb your cultivation!
Huo Fenghuang's expression changed somewhat. In less than half a year, she and her senior brother will get married. According to the rules of the sect, it will be at least three years. Their wedding will obviously be postponed! She showed a forced smile and said: "It doesn't matter.
Yes, senior brother, in this state, it might not be a bad thing to go into the Lightless Cave to calm down."
"That beast said that he would cut off all secular thoughts during the retreat. I don't want to delay you..." Pang Zhuo took out a letter and gave it to her, with a look of anger on his face that he couldn't bear to see her, "You read it first.
Let’s do this!”
Huo Fenghuang was shocked and confused. He took the letter and quickly opened it. After reading it, his face changed drastically and he exclaimed, "Ten years!"
The letter was written by Kun Linshu to her, saying that he wanted to cut off his seven emotions and six desires and concentrate on practicing in seclusion. He said that he was sorry for her, that he didn't want to delay her, and that he wanted to break off the engagement!
The other piece of paper is the divorce letter written by Kun Linshu!
After breaking off the engagement and still having to stay in a lightless cave for ten years in the dark, one can imagine how determined Kun Linshu is to practice in seclusion!
The problem is, no matter how powerful the Sky Fire Sect is and how abundant its resources are, it will not provide anyone with cultivation resources for ten years for free, and it is impossible to support anyone for ten years in vain!
Of course, it is another matter if someone has made great contributions to the Tianhuo Sect. If you have contributed to the sect and the sect supports you, the people above and below will have nothing to say!
After three years of retreat in the Wuguangdong, you have to go to work for the master, which is also a test of your retreat progress.
After five years of seclusion and five years of raising you in vain, I will give you an important task to test!
I have been in seclusion for ten years, I have raised you for ten years in vain, and I have invested so much resources in you. Once you come out of seclusion, you can imagine the tasks you will face!
Since the founding of the Tianhuo Sect, only the founding father had to go into seclusion for ten years, and no one has done so since. Now Kunlinshu is the second one.
