Chapter 2312 True and False

Princess Liu Ling held a banquet at the Huainan Palace.

The banquet seemed peaceful and like a discussion, but in fact it was a confession.

First, Zhang Xuezhou cooperated in revealing the relevant information, and then Jinchang, who surrendered, followed the process.

"This guy has no integrity like Senior Brother Qu. Senior Brother Qu refused to yield no matter how he was tortured, but he cooperated very well!"

The last part of the Yin-Yang Great Joy Nine-Person Mantra narrated by Jinchang involves Zhang Xuezhou's practice.

Although Jinchang was not optimistic about Zhang Xuezhou's practice after he integrated the realm techniques of the Yin-Yang School, and believed that no matter how much he practiced, it would be difficult for him to break through to the Self-Existence Realm, Zhang Xuezhou did not agree with this situation.

Once Jinchang mentioned Zhang Xuezhou in his narration, the other party would inevitably feel strange and would have to break the previous state.

Zhang Xuezhou's face remained expressionless.

If Jinchang had not seen the abnormal swinging of Zhang Xuezhou's lower limbs, he would almost doubt his own judgment.

Of course, Jinchang felt that he had been looking down the whole time, and most likely he did not notice the subtle changes in Zhang Xuezhou's upper body.

"If he tricked Liu Ling, then is the Eight Steps to Immortality Pill real or fake?"

He would rather die than return to Jinchang, showing great toughness.

Jinchang only cooperated after suffering a lot of torture.

But when it came to Zhang Xuezhou's generation in the Yin-Yang School, Jinchang felt that each generation was different.

Compared with him and Zuo Bugui, who are tough guys, Zhang Xuezhou is both soft and hard, making it difficult to figure out the real situation.

To say that Zhang Xuezhou was weak was because he went to the Hongmen Banquet too easily and was easily convinced by Liu Ling's tactics.

The reason why Zhang Xuezhou is said to be tough is also because of this banquet. The other party seemed to have submitted and been controlled, but he had broken free from the control at some point, and Liu Ling still seems to have no idea of ​​it.

Jinchang hoped that the Yin-Yang family would not be so miserable, with one person after another being forced to do things against their will, but he also hoped that the Eight-Step Immortality Pill was real and not something Zhang Xuezhou had made up. After all, as a first-class guest official who had completely surrendered to the Huainan Palace, Jinchang must be qualified to get this kind of pill.

According to Li Shang's analysis, taking a large amount of Eight-Step Immortality Pills can advance to the realm of true self. After he collects all the secret books of Yin and Yang, the probability of reaching the realm of true self will increase again, and reaching the realm of true self is no longer a dream.

Being free has its advantages, but his complete belonging to the Huainan Palace is not all bad.

"No matter how we are treated like dogs, the King of Huainan should at least give us some bones to chew on!"

Jinchang gritted his teeth and stared into Zhang Xuezhou's eyes again, trying to make more judgments.

When Zhang Xuezhou's body shook again, he felt that his previous judgment was completely correct, which made him shocked.

But Jinchang soon heard Liu Ling's surprised voice, and Li Shang's low response.

"Dongfang Shuo, have another cup of Yuzhongshao..."

"My lady, he seems to be unconscious!"

"Did I kill him?"

As if his affair was discovered, Liu Ling became extremely panicked after his magic was broken, and a flushed color continued to appear on his face.

Su Fei, who was nearby, reached out and supported Zhang Xuezhou who had fallen down, while Li Shang took a few steps forward and felt Zhang Xuezhou's pulse.

"He seems to be dead but not dead at this moment. His body is energetic but it is difficult for him to wake up!" Li Shang judged.

"Then...then I'm in trouble!"

Liu Ling's face changed drastically. The backlash from her magic made her face turn red, but also a little pale.

The court ministers were not slaves kept in the Huainan Palace who could be disposed of at will by her. If something life-threatening happened, she would not be able to escape accountability even if she ran back to Huainan, and the Huainan King might even be implicated.

If the two sides don't fall out and go to war, the consequences of this kind of thing will be difficult for individuals to bear.

Liu Ling is a princess who holds power. She is adept at handling matters for her subordinates, but she undoubtedly has various shortcomings when it comes to matters at the same level or even matters that affect her own influence.

After the panic, she seemed quite confused.

"Dongfang Shuo's head was pried open by the Imperial Medical Office. He would fall into a long coma every twelve days, and then wake up on his own!"

In the end, Jinchang couldn't stand it anymore and chose to speak up to remind Liu Ling.

"Yes, Dongfang Shuo said during the banquet that he was not feeling well and was approaching the onset period. He must have fallen ill!" Liu Ling was at a loss, but calmed down after Jin Chang explained the situation.

Li Shang, who was taking the patient's pulse, changed his expression slightly. Zuo Wu, who was thinking of disposing of the corpse and severing the connection with the matter, silently put the poison that could melt the corpse and turn the bones into his sleeve.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have invited him to the banquet today!"

Liu Ling took a deep breath, tried hard to adjust his qi and blood, and calmed the magic power that was constantly vibrating in his body.

She just felt that today was not a good day, but it was too difficult to invite Zhang Xuezhou.

Ordinary people who received an invitation from the Huainan Palace would rush to visit on the same day, and Zhang Xuezhou agreed verbally, but Liu Ling waited for nearly ten days and did not see the other party come.

This also involves dealing with Jinchang. Liu Ling not only wants to take advantage of Zhang Xuezhou's opportunity, but also wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. She uses Zhang Xuezhou, who also belongs to the Yin-Yang School, as the chicken to demonstrate to Jinchang, the monkey, so that Jinchang will completely surrender.

Su Fei also came to Chang'an City to promote the test of Zhang Xuezhou, thus fulfilling the instructions of King Huainan.

Almost all the things were involved together, so she had to personally invite Zhang Xuezhou.

Things went very smoothly. Not only did Zhang Xuezhou cooperate and reveal the opportunity, Jinchang was also obedient, and Su Fei's test results were close to the original judgment.

It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou collapsed that things became a little confusing.

"Send Dongfang Shuo back quickly," Liu Ling panted.

"My lady, Dongfang Shuo may be ill, but he underwent a surgery before he became ill. If he develops any new illness twelve days later, it may involve our Huainan Palace," Li Shang reminded.

"How about going all out?" Zuo Wu frowned.

"The Yin-Yang School's Great Compassion Nine Heavens Mantra is still missing the last part!"

Mao, who was copying, was reminded that some of the Yin-Yang school's content for entering the A-level realm was still missing, which showed that he was dissatisfied with Zuo Wu's rude behavior.

"Jin Keqing, what did Dongfang Shuo eat and drink when he was asleep?"

Li Shang asked calmly, and Jinchang frowned slightly.

Everyone was afraid of Anle Palace's investigation and seemed to be in a panic. Jinchang, on the other hand, was thinking about the strange-faced Taoist who had subdued him with a slap. He felt that everyone was not doing things carefully enough and even Jinchang needed to be careful not to be implicated.

"The level of his Bigu practice is extremely high. He doesn't need to eat or drink anything," said Jinchang.

"Does that mean we don't need to do anything right now?" Li Shang asked.

"I don't know," Jin Chang shook his head and said, "I only know that when I went to invite Dongfang Shuo, a Taoist priest beside him subdued me with one move. If Dongfang Shuo hadn't pleaded for me, I would have been beaten to death. That Taoist priest also attended several banquets with Li Shaojun. I wonder if you know him?"

"The Taoist who subdued you with one move?" Someone else at the banquet stood up and asked, "Were you in the shadows at the time?"

"Yes!"

Jinchang replied in a low voice, which caused the person who stood up to gasp.

Jinchang in the open has only the ability to use tricks and ranks second in strength, but Jinchang in the shadows is the king and has the ability to defeat the strong.

Even though Jinchang's cultivation level is relatively low among the guest officials, no one will deny Jinchang's strength.

"Li Shang, you should check on Dongfang Shuo these days," Liu Ling said after thinking for a while, "Try to be nice to him. If you have any tricks, don't hide them. It would be best if you can cure him!"

"Yes!"

"Guest official from Jinchang, please go to Dongfang Shuo's house and inform him that Dongfang Shuo is seeking medical treatment in the Huainan Palace, so that his servants won't fail to report to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion," Liu Ling said again.

"can!"

Jinchang responded in a low voice.

Faced with Liu Ling's tentative arrangement again, he did not resist at all.

Zhang Xuezhou's physical condition was just an episode. As long as the people in the Huainan Palace did not do evil things, there should not be too many troubles if they were dealt with safely. Even if there were any troubles, they would be handled properly, and at most the Huainan Palace would have to pay some price.

But Jinchang was troubled, as he felt that Zhang Xuezhou's sudden illness had made it difficult for him to judge clearly.

For a moment, he was thinking about how to borrow the secret book of Yin-Yang School from the Huainan Palace, and for a moment, he was thinking about the authenticity of the Eight-Step Immortality Pill mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou.

Jinchang had previously judged that Zhang Xuezhou had evaded Liu Ling's tactics, but because Zhang Xuezhou's illness interfered with his judgment, he inevitably had many contradictions in his heart and could no longer be as sure as before.
