Chapter 223 Who knew that I would encounter such a big pit like you?
In the royal study, jasmine flowers are exuding its fresh, elegant, remote and quiet floral fragrance, without any sweetness.
As the saying goes, "One flower can scent a room."
Especially in this extremely quiet situation, Jiang Beiran could clearly smell the fragrance of jasmine.
But the young man in the animal skin coat is not so leisurely. Now he only feels that he is suffocating, and he is still interested in smelling the fragrance of flowers.
"You haven't thought about it yet, have you? It doesn't matter, I can talk to you about something else first."
Feeling the increasingly disordered breathing of the young man in the animal skin coat, Jiang Beiran spoke.
"Yes, your Majesty, feel free to ask, I will tell you everything you know."
"First, tell me how you sneaked into the study."
"Your Majesty, when Deng Bo was in power, I was the one who sent messages to Liang Guo. Therefore, I am very familiar with the twenty-eight ghost lock formations in the palace, so I was able to come in quietly."
"Oh~" Jiang Beiran nodded after hearing this, and suddenly looked at Mu Yao who was sitting aside applying medicine to his shoulder and said, "How is the injury?"
Mu Yao was still in extreme shock. When she heard Jiang Beiran talking to her, she was stunned for a while before responding: "It's just a small... minor injury. It's much better."
"Why don't you hurry up and make a cup of tea for the guests?"
After hearing this, Mu Yao's computer went down for a few seconds, and then she calmed down and said viciously in her heart: 'Landlords and wealthy people are more humane than you!'
But after cursing in her heart, Mu Yao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The emperor... seemed to be the same emperor.
He stood up and went aside to make two cups of tea. He first offered one cup to the emperor, and then handed the other cup to the young man in the animal skin coat.
"Thank you." The young man in the animal skin coat took the tea cup and nodded.
"Huh~" Jiang Beiran blew the hot air on the tea, took a sip, raised his head and looked at the young man in the animal skin coat and asked: "I'm not satisfied with your answer. Please answer it again in more detail. If you still can't answer it well, I'll give it to you."
I will use up one of your hands."
After hearing Jiang Beiran say this in a gentle tone, the young man in the animal skin coat trembled all over and almost dropped the tea cup in his hand.
Seeing the young man in the animal skin coat peeking towards the window, Jiang Beiran smiled and said: "Don't look at it, the Shigen Formation was activated when you stepped into the imperial study room. Now it is isolated from the outside and no one can enter."
Come on, no one can go out, of course, you can try."
After hearing this, the young man in the animal skin coat hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I never meant this. I just like to look around when I am thinking about problems."
"Oh~ So that's it. Then think about it carefully, Mu Yao, and then go get some snacks for the guests."
"According to the order." Mu Yao nodded, and took some candied fruits and cakes from the shelf and handed them to the young man in the animal skin coat.
"Eat it, think about it after you finish it, I'm not in a hurry."
After taking the snacks brought by Mu Yao, the young man in the animal skin coat had completely given up the idea of how to escape, because before the emperor even spoke, he realized that his consciousness could not leave the room. Only now
I found out that it was actually the Shigen Formation that was blocking it.
During this formation, he had heard from his elders that "Gen" is one of the Eight Diagrams, which represents mountains and also means hardness.
According to that elder, mountains are very special things. They are pure yang and contain yin. Because although the surface of the mountain is very yang, the yin in the mountain is not bad at all.
Such a formation of Yin and Yang can be said to have no flaws, and it is extremely difficult to break it no matter what means are used.
‘Who…is this person!?’
The young man in the animal skin coat would not believe that the cunning Yin Jianghong would let such an extremely powerful person become the emperor. Moreover, the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom had a long history of only allowing ordinary people to become the emperor. How could he suddenly break the rule?
Therefore, the young man in the animal skin jacket still believed that he had fallen into the trap set by Yin Jianghong, so he was extremely afraid of Jiang Beiran's strength.
Seeing the young man in the animal skin coat lost in thought, Jiang Beiran drank tea slowly without any rush.
The reason why he was dissatisfied with the answer of the young man in the animal skin coat was that he only told how he entered the palace, but did not tell how he entered the Sheng Kingdom.
Another point is that even if he really understands the previous twenty-eight ghost locking formations, the twenty-eight ghost locking formations that he has strengthened are no longer the same. Even if he is a Xuanling, it is impossible for him to completely avoid triggering the formation.
walk in.
In the end, Jiang Beiran didn't quite believe that Yin Jianghong didn't take any precautions outside the palace, and just let a mysterious spirit rush straight into his imperial study.
As the heat on the tea cup gradually disappeared, the young man in the animal skin coat finally sighed and said: "Reporting to the emperor, because I am responsible for delivering messages, I have lived in Ningdu for a long time, and the reason why I can come here quietly is
,Because of……"
The young man in the animal skin coat said and took out a black umbrella that exuded a dark golden light from the Universe Mirror.
"This is the mysterious magic weapon my master gave me, the Illusionary Sky Barrier. As long as I hold it up, no large formation or spiritual consciousness will be able to detect me."
"Oh? Bring it to me to see."
Seeing the emperor attacking him, the young man in the animal skin coat felt extremely painful. This was a middle-grade Xuan-level magic weapon. After it was taken away, there was no reason to return it to him.
But now that his own life is in someone else's hands, what kind of magic weapon can he talk about?
So he gritted his teeth, and the young man in the animal skin coat presented the Huankong Silk Hands in front of Jiang Beiran.
Taking the fantasy curtain, Jiang Beiran tried to open it. In an instant, he really felt that everything around him seemed to be isolated, and the effect was better than his own.
But yes, this is a genuine Xuan-level magic weapon, how can his handiwork compare to it.
Putting away the illusion curtain again, Jiang Beiran handed it back to the young man in the animal skin jacket and said: "It is indeed a good magic weapon. I am very satisfied with your answer this time. We can continue to chat."
Looking at the phantom curtain in his hand in disbelief, the young man in the animal skin jacket opened his mouth.
'He...he actually gave it back to me? This is a Xuan-level magic weapon! Even Xuanzong doesn't have a few of them, but he gave it back to me so casually!?'
In an instant, Jiang Beiran's originally extremely tall image in his mind became even taller.
To be able to dismiss even Xuan-level magic weapons, what kind of a state does this have to be for an expert to achieve!?
When the young man in the animal skin coat put the fantasy curtain away in shock, Jiang Beiran said: "Very good, now it's time for me to get to know you. Tell me your name and sect. I hope you won't try to hide it.
, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
"Understood." Nodding, the young man in the animal skin coat introduced himself, "My name is Su Buqing, and I am a close disciple of the leader of the Zhenyuan Sect of the Liang Kingdom."
'Oh, closed disciple, no wonder you can be given such a treasure.'
Because the closed disciple refers to the last disciple accepted by the master. He will not accept any direct disciples in the future, but the disciple will accept the disciples.
Generally speaking, closed disciples are also Master's favorite disciples, so they have a very special status among the disciples and have a high probability of inheriting Master's legacy.
Therefore, he is also regarded as the successor of the sect.
In addition, Jiang Beiran, the Zhenyuan Sect, had also seen it in the report submitted by Gu Qinghuan. It was indeed the top sect in the Liang Kingdom, and its leader Yan Siyuan was a Xuanzong-level powerhouse.
Moreover, in a chaotic country like the Liang Kingdom, those who can become strong are those who have experienced hundreds of battles, and are much stronger than those Xuanzong who purely rely on seclusion to practice.
"Is that old man Yan Siyuan's closed disciple..." Jiang Beiran nodded, "Is he really willing to let you carry out such a dangerous mission?"
Listening to Jiang Beiran calling his master an old man, the fear in Su Buqing's heart became more and more profound. At the same time, Jiang Beiran's question made him feel a little aggrieved.
The master gave him this task in the first place because when he had the Phantom Sky Barrier, this task was not dangerous and could gain huge credit.
After all, when Liang Guo captured Sheng Guo in the future, as a person who went deep behind enemy lines, his contribution would be ranked very high.
And he is usually very cautious in doing things. For example, before he came to find the new emperor, he did a lot of investigations and determined that the new emperor was a novice in the Qi training realm. After that, he investigated and closed the case inside and outside the palace, and found out
There were many secret whistles, but in front of his illusory veil, these secret whistles were not worth mentioning.
But he never imagined that the biggest trap would be the emperor himself.
'How long has this trap been set up?'
'How much effort did Yin Jianghong put into catching him?'
'Why did they go to all this trouble to catch him?'
…
Countless questions lingered in Su Buqing's mind, making him really panicked.
Putting away the grievance in her heart, Su Buqing replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Since I have become Master's closed disciple, I naturally have to be aware of taking on such dangers."
"Okay!" Jiang Beiran nodded and praised, "You are very conscious, not bad, so what kind of cooperation did you originally want to discuss with me this time? You can talk about it now."
"Master is very dissatisfied with Deng Bo's failure. He thinks that we funded him with so many treasures and spiritual stones, but only got this result. Not only him, but also several other sect leaders of the Liang Kingdom are completely unacceptable."
"But while they couldn't accept it, Master and the other sect leaders were also surprised that a small emperor of the Sheng Kingdom really almost turned the entire Sheng Kingdom upside down. This made them see the benefits."
"So Master asked me to come and talk to you about cooperation as soon as the limelight passes. I believe that with the experience from the previous time, we will do better this time."
"What's a better way?" Jiang Beiran suddenly asked.
"This..." Su Buqing was suddenly stuck, "Of course, Your Majesty, please do it first, and our Liang Kingdom will follow suit."
"What good can I do?"
Hearing Jiang Beiran's question, Su Buqing wanted to slap herself.
That's right! The emperor in front of you is not Yin Jianghong's little puppet, but the killer who ambush here to kill him! Aren't you seeking death by speaking ill of Yin Jianghong?
"Hello, Your Majesty... Fortunately... I have brought a lot of spiritual stones and treasures, please accept them."
"That's really good." Jiang Beiran nodded with satisfaction, "Where are the things? Bring them to me for a look."
"Yes." Su Buqing said, taking out two Qiankun rings from his arms and handing them to Jiang Beiran.
Jiang Beiran reached out and took it, after exploring the contents of the Qiankun Ring, he raised his head and said, "That's it?"
Seeing that Jiang Beiran was dissatisfied, Su Buqing quickly explained: "This is just to express our sincerity. If you, Your Majesty, are willing to cooperate with us, I will bring you more spiritual stones and precious materials."
"Oh, that's pretty much it." Throwing the two rings aside with both hands, Jiang Beiran continued to ask: "Now that we've discussed the benefits, what are your plans if I don't agree to cooperate with you?"
"Well……"
Again, Su Buqing never thought that the situation would develop like this. He never thought about the possibility that the little emperor would reject him. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
"Alas, you are a closed disciple who doesn't do things well. Since it's a negotiation, various situations are bound to happen. Make more preparations next time. Do you understand?"
"Yes...that's what you taught me."
Seeing Su Buqing being trained like a grandson by Jiang Beiran, Mu Yao almost laughed out loud.
At the same time, I also wonder why Su Buqing is so afraid of Jiang Beiran.
'Just by being caught with one punch, did he feel that the gap between them was so big that they couldn't fight? Then...how strong is the emperor?'
The only reason why Mu Yao thought Kong Qianqian didn't lie when he explained was that Jiang Beiran was a fifth-level Qi practitioner who had been personally "identified" by his father, so he was absolutely correct.
And how could a fifth-level Qi practitioner find her when even her eldest father couldn't find her?
So even though I thought Kong Qianqian’s explanation was outrageous, I still bit the bullet and believed it.
But now that Jiang Beiran suddenly showed such strength, she was immediately sure that the mysterious man who sent the note to her eldest father was definitely him!
Although she didn't know why Jiang Beiran appeared in Lanzhou and how he came to save him, it was definitely him!
This made Mu Yao recall the days when she was locked up.
During that time, she blamed herself extremely. Even though her eldest father had told her many times not to run around, she still went her own way, causing all her junior brothers and sisters to be arrested.
And this is really minor. If her eldest father is hurt in any way because of her, she will definitely never forgive herself in this life.
So when Big Daddy rescued her and asked if he knew any clues about the mysterious man.
Mu Yao was not only surprised and curious, but also full of gratitude.
Because she already knew from her second father's mouth that someone was going to use her to threaten her eldest father. Once that person's plan succeeded, she believed that her eldest father would give in again and again for her sake, and even do things that went against his true intentions.
Therefore, she had already secretly vowed in her heart that if she could find that mysterious man, she would do everything she could to repay him, even if he died through fire and water, and his body would be shattered to pieces.
And now...she discovered that the benefactor she had been searching for had actually been with her for so long.
This gave her an extremely strange feeling, as if fantasy and reality were fused together.
"Mu Yao, Mu Yao!?"
Just when Mu Yao was deep in thought, she suddenly heard the emperor's call, so she quickly replied: "Please give me your instructions."
"The tea has cooled down. Let's make some hot water for the guests."
"According to the order!" Mu Yao said and ran to make tea.
Seeing Mu Yao starting to make tea, Jiang Beiran looked at Su Buqing and said, "It's funny, the girls in the palace are so clumsy."
"No, no." Su Buqing waved her hands quickly.
"Besides, I just thought about it and decided to agree to cooperate with you Liang Guo."
After hearing this, Su Buqing's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in disbelief: "Do you really mean what the emperor said!?"
"Of course I take it seriously. If someone wants to give me something for free, why not? It's just a way of cooperation... I have to say it."
