After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 412: Queen, you don't want to either.
Beijing, the ancient residence of the Xu family.

The Crown Princess Xu Qiuyue looked around, then calmly opened the door and slowly walked in. As an important contact person of the Qingfu Palace in the capital, it was impossible for her to come here to meet at any time and anywhere.

But this time, it was too big.

It was so serious that Bei Hanzhong, the Palace Master of Qingfu Palace, summoned her twice in just over a month.

And the reason.

All this was because an envoy from the Northern Barbarians was ambushed and killed at the entrance to Mount Qishan.

She was not clear about the whole story of the matter, and could only think about what the King of France had told her to do last time, and guessed that the reason the King of France summoned her this time was because of the court's search.

In her mind, she always thought that it was the Holy Church that took action this time.

After all, the peace talks between the Northern Barbarians’ Royal Court and the Central Plains Imperial Court were definitely not a good thing for the Holy Church.

Walking to the secret room with familiarity, Xu Qiuyue pushed the door open and entered. Her gaze was once again fixed on a figure in front of her. He was wearing a dark green robe, and his figure was thin and looked a little weak, but he exuded a majestic aura like a mountain.

The pair of eyes were somewhat sinister, and it was none other than the Green Bat Palace Master, Green Bat Dharma King Bei Hanzhong, one of the four Dharma Kings of the Qingtian Sect.

"Meet the king."

Xu Qiuyue bowed down with a respectful look.

Bei Hanzhong's slightly narrowed blue eyes fell on Xu Qiuyue and he frowned slightly:
"Do you know who was behind the ambush and murder of the Northern Barbarian envoy?"

Xu Qiuyue looked surprised and suddenly raised her head:
"Isn't it the Holy Church who did it?"

Before coming to the Xu family's ancient house, she had always thought so, and even felt that the reason why the King of France summoned her was just to inquire about what the court had found out about the matter.

But in the end, the Palace Master shattered her guess as soon as he opened his mouth.

Bei Hanzhong frowned.

The killing of the Northern Barbarian envoy was certainly not the work of the Qingtian Sect.

They were hoping that the Northern Barbarians would negotiate with the imperial court in order to find an opportunity. Otherwise, they would not have deliberately pushed this matter before, because once the negotiations came, the Qingtian Sect's opportunity would come.

But in the end, they were still careless.

Under the premise that both the imperial court and the Qingtian Sect were pushing for peace talks, a third party actually intervened.

Moreover, once he took action, he was swift and decisive, killing the Northern Barbarian envoy at the entrance of Mount Qishan, leaving no trace of his body.

Now that the Northern Barbarian envoy has been killed, the Northern Barbarian royal court is furious, and the plan to lead the army into the pass has been shelved. Because of this, the leader is furious and orders him to investigate the matter secretly.

We must find out who is behind this. The Qingtian Cult will not allow any third party to interfere behind the scenes.

So, here he comes, venturing into the capital.

He summoned Xu Qiuyue directly to inquire about the matter.

He wanted an answer to report back, but looking at the current situation, Xu Qiuyue didn't seem to know anything about it, and she even knew less than he did.

"This matter was not done by the Holy Church."

"This"

Xu Qiuyue had a dazed look on her face, somewhat confused.

"What is the trend of the court?"

Seeing that he couldn't get to the point, Bei Hanzhong frowned and simply passed it over.

After all, Xu Qiuyue was just a prince's consort. Although she had the support of the Qingtian Sect over the years, she still failed to penetrate the real power core of the court.

He couldn't count on it too much.

"The court was furious about this. Ji Changsheng told me that the dog emperor was so angry that he smashed his precious teacup and ordered the Black Court to investigate the matter within a time limit."

"Does the court, from top to bottom, all think that it was the Holy Religion that did this?"

Xu Qiuyue nodded and said directly:

"Now everyone in the government and the public thinks so. After all, so far only the Holy Church has the motivation to take action."

"madness."

Cursing inwardly, Bei Hanzhong took a deep breath:

"How does the court plan to deal with the wrath of the northern barbarians?"

"The imperial court is ready to send troops to help, with Yang Ye as the commander, leading 50,000 elite soldiers from the capital to the northern border to prevent the northern barbarian army from getting angry and taking direct action. By the way, it is said that the emperor wanted Ji Chengdao to go to the north to take charge, but Ji Chengdao refused."

Xu Qiuyue didn't dare to hide anything and quickly told everything she knew.

Northland reinforcements
Hearing this, Bei Hanzhong suddenly felt something was wrong.

If Yang Ye were to personally take charge of the North, the entire Youzhou would be equivalent to having three Martial Saints directly in charge, plus an army of 600,000 stationed there, combined with the large formation, it would be as solid as a rock.

Even the northern barbarian cavalry did not dare to move south rashly.

It would be difficult for the Holy Church to profit from it, and if it acted rashly, it would be disastrous.

Thinking that the Holy Church's plan had been shattered, Bei Hanzhong regretted it very much. He should have personally escorted the Northern Barbarian envoy at the beginning, but the problem was that the other party's whereabouts were too secretive.

He couldn't find it at all, and he just learned the news.

"Now that things have come to this, you don't need to worry about it. According to what you said, the emperor may have to conduct a purge and make sure all traces of the Holy Church are erased, and Ji Changsheng should not be implicated.

This person is also related to the great plan of the Holy Religion, and he must not be lost."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Qiuyue understands everything. If necessary, even if Qiuyue commits suicide, she will not implicate the Holy Church and Ji Changsheng." Xu Qiuyue immediately expressed her opinion.

"Ah."

Bei Hanzhong nodded. He no longer had much interest in giving any more orders. The best way now was to lie low. After all, the imperial court was in a state of rage.

And this anger will inevitably be vented on the Holy Church.

Without any warning, Bei Hanzhong turned into a green light and disappeared in the secret room in an instant, leaving behind Xu Qiuyue who was bowing in awe.

"call"

After letting out a long breath, Xu Qiuyue's tense body finally relaxed. Every time she faced the King of Dharma, she could feel extreme pressure. After all, she was too insignificant.

After panting softly a few times, Xu Qiuyue prepared to leave the ancient house. In fact, if it was not necessary to meet here, she did not want to come here. She always felt very depressed.

But just as she turned around and was about to leave, suddenly, a beam of blood light came out from the ground and instantly enveloped Xu Qiuyue. In an instant, Xu Qiuyue's pupils shrank, and then her body softened and she fell heavily to the ground.

The Red Blood Demon Lord slowly appeared, glanced at Xu Qiuyue, and imprisoned her entire body inside the Blood Sea Pearl. In his hand, he was holding a photo stone.

All the previous scenes are included.

To be precise, after the Red Blood Demon Lord was entrusted by Jiang Che, he was stationed here. In every room around, he used secret methods to hide the existence of the photo stones.

When he was in his prime, he was also a top-notch magic master, and was extremely proficient in unconventional methods. Although he is no longer at his peak now.

But the means are still there.

It is for this reason that even if he is hiding nearby, as long as he does not take any action and does not reveal his aura, even the four Dharma Kings of the Qingtian Sect will not be able to discover him.

Without stopping, after capturing Xu Qiuyue, the Red Blood Demon Lord also left the ancient house quietly.

In the capital, the Marquis of Guanjun’s Mansion.

This is the house that the emperor rewarded Jiang Che with after his last battle at Yanglongtan. It is located in the central area of ​​the capital, close to the imperial city, but Jiang Che has just moved in here not long ago.

Of course, some of the servants in the mansion were arranged by Chen Qingfang. Although he knew that there might be pawns of the Black Court among them, it was still a place to stay.

This time, after entering the capital city openly, he was located here.

Inside the secret room, Jiang Che looked at the image on the photo stone, with a flash of shock in his eyes.

What Lu Jieyun said was true.

Ji Changsheng's princess consort Xu Qiuyue was actually a pawn of the Qingtian Cult!

How on earth did he know these secrets?
Jiang Che had this thought again.

"That Lu Jieyun is not a simple person. What he said is completely correct. When you meet him in the future, you must be on high alert." After Jiang Che finished watching the video, the Red Blood Demon Lord suddenly said.

He was also present when Lu Jieyun revealed the secret. His first reaction at that time was actually that he did not quite believe it. After all, the Qingtian Sect's secret agents were definitely secretive enough.

Even if it was leaked, the news should have been leaked to the Black Yamen and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. How could Lu Jieyun, a guy who had just entered the officialdom, know about it?
It was only because he could not resist Jiang Che's request that he took charge in person.

And then, there were these gains.

"How strong is Bei Hanzhong?"

Jiang Che nodded slightly and then asked.

The Scarlet Blood Demon Lord shook his head:
“Although I am hiding nearby, I cannot reveal even a trace of my aura, nor can I sense how powerful that person is. However, as one of the four Dharma Kings of the Qingtian Sect, his strength should not be inferior to Nangong Ji.

With your current strength, you will never be able to take it down, unless you ask your little lover to help you."

Jiang Che directly ignored the title of 'little lover' and showed gratitude:

"Thank you very much, Senior Chixue."

"It's just a little effort."

The Red Blood Demon Lord waved his hands, seemingly calm and composed, but he still felt somewhat touched in his heart. What he feared most was that he would not be able to provide any help to Jiang Che, lest he be marginalized in the future.

Now it seems that he, the Red Blood Demon Lord, is still very powerful.

Without him, Jiang Che would never be able to record the scene with the photo stone under Bei Hanzhong's nose.

"Where's Xu Qiuyue?"

"here"

With a wave of his hand, the Red Blood Demon Lord fell out of the Blood Sea Pearl and hit the ground directly, but she still did not wake up. The Red Blood Demon Lord's previous move was equivalent to directly locking her soul with a secret method.

As long as it is not untied, it will be difficult to wake up.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, Jiang Che curled up the corner of his mouth into a slight smile. This was not the first time he and Xu Qiuyue had met. The last time was in Dengxian Tower.

She followed Ji Changsheng and interrupted his conversation with Lu Jieyun, and then brought up the matter of his feud with Ji Changsheng. However, Jiang Che did not take her seriously at that time.

"Senior, do you think I can search souls?"

Jiang Che really wanted to obtain the memories in Xu Qiuyue's mind. Once he did so, he would be able to get a clear idea of ​​the entire intelligence network that the Qingtian Sect had laid in the capital.

"You can try, but it should be difficult. Before the Qingtian Sect arranges chess pieces like this, they will leave restrictions on their souls. Once the soul is forcibly searched, the soul will be immediately annihilated."

The Red Blood Demon Lord said in a deep voice.

After a moment, Jiang Che withdrew his mind expressionlessly. It was indeed as the Red Blood Demon Lord said, restrictions had been placed on Xu Qiuyue's soul and even her blood.

If he forcibly searched her soul, Xu Qiuyue would die on the spot.

"Do you want to know the secret in her mind, or do you want to control her?" Seeing Jiang Che's distressed expression, the Red Blood Demon Lord suddenly asked.

"I want the memories in her mind, and I also want to control this person. I think this Qingtian Sect's hidden man will be useful in the future. If he dies here, it will not only be a waste, but it will also alarm the Qingtian Sect."

What Jiang Che wants, of course, is to maximize his profits.

Then, he had an idea and looked at the Red Blood Demon Lord and asked:

"Senior, do you have any solution?"

He knew that since the Red Blood Demon Lord said so, he might have some solution.

A smile appeared on the face of the Red Blood Demon Lord:
"Of course, ordinary people can't do this, but I am proficient in countless magic secrets, so there is still hope that I can succeed. However, it will take some time to succeed."

"how long?"

"It will take at least half a month. I need to set up an array on her body and use spells to offset the restrictions." The Red Blood Demon Lord hesitated for a moment and gave a time.

"Then I'll bother you, senior."

Jiang Che felt happy.

The Red Blood Demon Lord is indeed extraordinary.

As expected of him, he is the blood demon hated by everyone in the martial arts world. He really has some skills.

After casually putting Xu Qiuyue back into the Blood Sea Pearl, the Red Blood Demon Lord's eyes moved, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Che:

"Now that we have the evidence, what are you going to do next?"

"What to do?"

Jiang Che was stunned for a moment.

The Red Blood Demon Lord curled his lips:
"Why are you pretending in front of me? With this image, you can definitely control Ji Changsheng and his mother. You won't let them go, right? This is not your style."

"So what do you think I should do?"

Jiang Che looked at him with some amusement.

"Of course, it was to severely control that bitch Xue Bai'e. Don't deny it, kid. I have had a premonition since the last time. In addition, I remember that we talked about something else at the time.

I said, one day, you will not even let go of the emperor's women, hehe. Is it time for it to come true this time?"

The rebellious Red Blood Demon Lord was very interested in this.

It was as if he treated Jiang Che as a fellow traveler.

"Senior, you have misunderstood. I just want to get the Jade Emperor Lotus of the Heavenly Demon." Jiang Che frowned frivolously.

The Scarlet Blood Demon Lord curled his lips, not believing it at all:

"You hold this evidence, which is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of them. Once the news that the prince's wife is a spy of the Qingtian Sect spreads, Ji Changsheng will no longer be eligible to compete for the position of crown prince.

For this reason, I estimate that they will compromise no matter what the cost."

"Just tell me when the time comes, Queen, you don't want to either. Hehehe."

The Red Blood Demon Lord had a lewd smile on his face.

The corners of Jiang Che's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect Lu Chenfeng to say such a thing.

Where did you learn all this?
He immediately said in a serious voice:
"Senior, you misunderstood. Jiang is not that kind of person."

"Oh, how about making a bet?"

The Red Blood Demon Lord snorted. Based on his understanding of Jiang Che, he never thought that he was a gentleman. Otherwise, where did the Ning Wangfei incident come from? Where did the Qi sisters incident come from?
And the matter about Zhao Xianzhi, where did it come from?

Isn't it because Jiang Che is aroused by lust?
Jiang Che shifted his gaze away from the Red Blood Demon Lord and slowly uttered two words:

"No gambling."

Here is four thousand two, please understand.

In addition, I shamelessly ask for monthly tickets!
