Chapter 171: The Wind Rises, the Royal Family's Sorrow

Chen Sanshi took a quick glance.

This is basically equivalent to more than 70% of Lingzhou’s strength.

"Your Highness is now trapped in the East Palace and is under strict surveillance. Therefore, I will be in charge of all matters this time."

"Your Majesty is not in the capital."

"So, there is no need to worry about the mysterious immortal behind him."

"When the time comes, I will first control the remaining 3,000 Jinwu Guards who have gone up the mountain, as well as the Jinwu Guards commander Jiang Yuanbo. I will give this task to General Meng. I wonder if it is feasible?"

The black-robed monk made his arrangements slowly and calmly.

"Ah."

Meng Quji said: "Among my subordinates, there are 8,000 men who can be used. When the time comes, I will find an excuse to transfer the rest of the brothers away, and use these 8,000 men to deal with the Jinwu Guards. Jiang Yuanbo can be trapped by myself."

"Amitabha, Marshal Meng is doing the job, I am at ease."

The black-robed monk continued, "The next person we are going to discuss is the second person, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Changsun Xusheng. He retired from the court many years ago, and later returned to the Jinyiwei to protect his nephew, the twelfth prince. This person needs to be dealt with by General Fan Tianfa. I wonder if he can do it?"

"Fan will be leaving for battle tomorrow."

Fan Tianfa said his plan: "When the time comes, I will ask my confidant to pretend to be Fan, and I will return to Ziwei Mountain by the same route. When the incident occurs, I will do my best to stop Changsun Xusheng."

"besides……"

The black-robed monk emphasized, "Huang Hong, the eunuch who holds the seal of the Imperial Household Department, has been a martial saint for many years. His strength is unfathomable, and he has always been your majesty's personal confidant and bodyguard. You cannot avoid him."

"Leave this person to me, Lu."

Lu Ji said in a deep voice.

"So good."

The black-robed monk said, "In addition, there are the twelve dead servants that His Majesty secretly supports. These people are all top talents selected from all over the people. However, they are still in the growth stage and none of them are martial saints. These people will be handed over to the eunuchs and generals."

"Don't worry, holy monk!"

Several eunuchs and spies among the Jinwu Guards agreed.

"at last……"

The black-robed monk paused and said, "Even Your Majesty, since Your Majesty started practicing Taoism, no one has ever seen him take action. I'm afraid only the people of Sun Xiang Sect know his strength, and he is also the most difficult to deal with.

“But you don’t need to worry about this.

"Your Highness and I will join forces to advise Your Majesty.

"Master Zhang, you will have to come with me when the time comes. Before that, you can also pay more attention to the relics of our great ancestor. It would be best if we can find them successfully. Otherwise, it will always be a hidden danger."

"Of course there is no problem for this hero."

Chen Sanshi said lightly.

"There is one more thing that needs attention."

The black-robed monk fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand and began to pace in the dilapidated hall: "All parties have been counted, but don't forget that there is still a force on Ziwei Mountain."

"Holy monk, you mean..."

Fan Tianfa asked: "Three thousand black armor soldiers?"

"Don't worry about that."

Cui Congyi said: "The three thousand Xuanjia are all young people. Chen Sanshi is good at marching and fighting, but he is just a Tongmai after all. Even if he wants to intervene, I'm afraid he can't do anything."

"Having said that."

The black-robed monk retorted, "Three thousand mysterious armors are a force after all, and don't forget that there is also Deng Feng who has reached the Great Perfection of the Mysterious Elephant Realm. This is a matter of great importance, and no mistakes can be made."

"Why not just kill him?"

Fan Tianfa said in a deep voice: "Your Highness didn't let us touch him before because he was worried about complications. Now we are about to take action, so we have to get rid of him before we do anything."

"Very good!"

Cao Fan agreed: "Since we can't win them over, we have no choice but to treat them as enemies."

"No."

Lu Ji suddenly said, "He is my junior fellow apprentice."

"Big brother?"

Cao Fan was stunned: "It's not that I'm narrow-minded, it's just that this person is cruel and ruthless. If I don't find an opportunity to take action, I'm afraid that General Sha's fate will be mine."

"After all, he is my junior fellow apprentice."

Lu Ji's face was expressionless, and he stressed, "I promised Master that I would take good care of my fellow disciples and not harm their lives no matter what."

"..."

Cao Fan was speechless.

"When the time comes, you just need to find a way to lure Junior Brother out."

Lu Ji said calmly: "As for the grudge between you and him, after the matter is done, he will be your Highness's subject. Even if he has hatred in his heart, what can he do?"

"Then just listen to big brother."

Cao Fan agreed on the surface, but actually turned his gaze to Zhang Laizi, the great hero Zhang. The latter looked at him, and they both nodded in tacit understanding.

"..."

Chen Sanshi cursed in his heart.

I didn't want to get involved in these things.

The result was a lot of trouble.

The Black Armor Army also became a force.

And he was slightly surprised.

The eldest senior brother actually stood up to protect himself in this situation.

When the forward was selected, his shooting skills were leaked...

Later, he sent people to track him down to see if he had received the true teachings.

It is like this again now.

People are so complicated.

This also shows that the fellow brothers have a deep friendship with each other. Under normal circumstances, they would never fight to the point of life and death.

Soon, the arrangements for the uprising were completely completed.

"Everyone!"

The black-robed monk said, "Success or failure depends on this battle. After the success, all of you donors will be the heroes of our Great Sheng Empire. Whether the Great Sheng Empire can last for thousands of years depends on you!"

A follower of the Incense God Sect brought a jar of strong liquor.

Everyone present raised their glasses and drank together.

After Chen Sanshi checked and confirmed that there was no problem, he drank it as well.

"Seven days later!"

"Ziwei Palace, light the fire as a signal!"

"..."

Then, they dispersed in batches.

"Master Zhang, please stay!"

The black-robed monk called out to the blue-robed knight.

"Monk, what do you want?"

Chen Sanshi turned sideways.

"Amitabha!"

The black-robed monk put his hands together and said, "I heard from His Royal Highness that Master Zhang has achieved great accomplishments in the incense and fire magical powers. I wonder what level he is at now. I have reached a bottleneck. Can I ask the master for advice?"

"Ok?"

Chen Sanshi touched the hilt of the knife at his waist, looked sideways, and said nothing.

See this.

The black-robed monk smiled and said, "It was me, Tang Bo, who broke the rules. Taoist friends shouldn't ask about each other's affairs. I apologize to you here."

Chen Sanshi snorted coldly, left the hall, and quickly disappeared into the night.

He naturally knew that the other party was testing him.

In this case, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

Saying nothing is the right choice.

As for why they let "Zhang Laizi" participate in such an important matter even though they knew nothing about the matter, the reason is very simple.

In the eyes of the prince's lineage and even the Incense God Sect.

Zhang Laizi already knew about their conspiracy.

And he is a master whose strength is unknown.

In this situation, all they can do is try every possible means to win him over. It doesn't matter whether he really helps or not. As long as he doesn't defect and leak the secret, it will be a victory for the prince and others.

So, it’s not about trust.

In other words, there is no need for trust.

What's more, if Zhang Laizi wanted to leak the secret, they would have been finished long ago.

"There are still seven days before the incident!"

Chen Sanshi began to retreat.

these seven days.

He wants to practice sword skills to perfection.

The martial arts realm must also be elevated to the level of Tongmai Dacheng.

In the chaos, every point of improvement will give you one more chance.

……

"Good marksmanship!"

The next day.

When Chen Sanshi was dancing with the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Spear in the yard of Fang Qingyun's residence, a familiar voice was heard. The eldest senior brother, who was as majestic as a mountain, walked into the yard, carrying a jar of wine in one hand and food and drinks in the other.

"I haven't seen you for half a year. Junior brother is almost done with opening meridians."

Lu Ji said with emotion: "It seems that I will be able to break through the Xuanxiang soon. After returning to Liangzhou, I will also be a commander of the camp. In the future, I will be able to stand on equal footing with my senior brothers and sisters on the battlefield."

"I still need to ask my senior brother for advice."

Chen Sanshi stuck his spear upside down in the ground: "Big Brother, I said I would pick you up before, why did you come here alone without saying anything?"

"Where do so many rules come from for martial artists?"

Lu Ji placed all the food on the stone table in the middle of the courtyard. "This wine helps nourish the Qi. The meat is from the exotic beasts I hunted on the way here. Call out the fourth and sixth brothers, and let's eat together."

"Hey, isn't this the boss?"

Wang Zhi pushed Fang Qingyun out and said, "You have been quite impressive these years."

"We all thought you were dead."

Lu Ji opened the wine jar and poured out the wine: "I didn't expect that I would retire, and then follow my junior brother back to Liangzhou by chance. Fate is really amazing."

“It’s no different from being dead.”

Wang Zhi tasted the wine and said, "Boss, are you bullying me?! If you drink too much of this wine below the meridians, you will die!"

"There are some prepared for you."

Lu Ji took out another pot of wine: "Medicinal wine to nourish the internal organs. By the way, is it really incurable?"

"It can't be cured."

Wang Zhi pulled off a drumstick of a roasted chicken and said, "I plan to follow my junior brother for the rest of my life. Being a general is not bad either."

Several brothers and sisters ate and drank together.

After three rounds of drinks, they talked about the Fengshan ceremony and the assassination at Ziwei Mountain.

"Fourth."

The vessel that Lu Ji used to hold the wine was clearly a bowl, but in his huge palm, it was like a small wine glass. He put it to his lips and took a sip before drinking it all in one gulp: "What do you think?"

"What can I do? Sit and watch."

Fang Qingyun said indifferently: "The dispute of the Cao family has nothing to do with us as ministers."

"Um……"

Lu Ji pondered and said, "Old Fourth, have you ever thought that if we can help the right people, can we resolve the crisis in Liangzhou and no longer have to fight with the people in the capital?"

"If you help the wrong person, you will be doomed forever."

Fang Qingyun said slowly: "Even if you help the right person, it may not be useful."

"I do not think so."

Lu Ji put down his wine glass and said, "If you help the right people, you will be qualified to make conditions. Only by making conditions can you become stronger. After you become stronger, my fellow disciples and I will have a better way out."

"What are you going to do?"

Wang Zhi understood the implication of the words: "Boss, I advise you not to get involved."

"Haha~ Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lu Ji stood up slowly and said, "With me in the court in the future, you will be able to sleep peacefully no matter where you go. I still have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now, fellow apprentices."

"This……"

After Wang Zhi saw the other party leave, he took a sip of the strong liquor that nourished his inner energy, and immediately said with a distorted face: "Old Four, what does he mean? If you get involved in this situation, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Let it be."

Fang Qingyun said with relief: "The boss is too worried, I can't stop him."

"Hey, this meat is really good."

Wang Zhi did not continue the topic. He tore the beast meat and said, "Come on, Sanshi, you will be able to break through in the next two days after eating this heart. I will not hesitate to give you the rest."

He hugged the things and went back to the house with a grin on his face.

"Senior brother."

Chen Sanshi inquired, "What do you think the chances of the prince's success are if he rebels?"

"Hard to say."

Fang Qingyun seemed to be uninvolved, but he actually knew what was going on: "The position of the Crown Prince can only be raised and not lowered. After what happened on Ziwei Mountain yesterday, he will definitely not sit still and wait for death.

“It’s just… after thinking about it, the only ones who can fight with Your Majesty are Xunxian Tower, Xianghuo Sect, and Wushen Sect.

"I just don't know who is hiding behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

“It doesn’t matter.

"By the way, Junior Brother, after the Tiger Guards are transferred away, your Black Armor Army will be considered one of the 'Imperial Guards'. If something goes wrong, what are you going to do? My suggestion..."

Chen Sanshi said almost in unison: "We will help whoever wins."

"Oh, it's unnecessary for me to remind you."

Fang Qingyun looked in the direction of Ziwei Mountain: "In fact, if the prince can win, it will be good for us. He needs the Eight Battalions, but... it is also a temporary solution, so let's just go with the flow."

If both died.

Nothing could be better.

These words.

Neither of them said it.

"Cough cough..."

Fang Qingyun said, "You continue to practice. I will go back to read the letter and check the latest situation on the grassland. After returning to Liangzhou, I will start preparing for the Northern Expedition against the barbarians."

Northern Expedition against the barbarians.

It has been prepared for many years.

After the military expansion is completed, it will be time to officially begin.

Now, Dongqing, Nanxu, and Xiqi have all been attacked to varying degrees. The last two years have been a good opportunity to launch a northern expedition against the barbarians. If the barbarians can be severely damaged, it means that the entire northern part of the Dasheng Dynasty will be stable for the next twenty or even thirty years.

"hiss!"

Chen Sanshi took a bite of the heart of an unknown beast. It was cold, but after entering his stomach, it began to run around like a flame, and finally it felt like a knife cutting his abdomen.

He immediately picked up his spear and prepared to make the final breakthrough.

The realm of Tongmai is fully achieved!

Open up the eight extraordinary meridians!
This retreat lasted for a full five days.

Until the sixth day.

Finally starting to break the threshold.

now.

The major meridians in Chen Sanshi's body are connected, and the number of small meridians has also been expanded to hundreds. As long as the eight extraordinary meridians are opened up, he will be able to get rid of his dependence on qi and blood and give birth to purer strength in the body. Only after this step will he be able to lay a solid foundation for transforming strength into power in the future.

in fact.

The entire Tongmai realm is a preparation and transition to the Xuanxiang realm.

After reaching Xuan Xiang, the gap between him and ordinary warriors is like heaven and earth.

The eight extraordinary meridians refer to the Du meridian, the Ren meridian, the Chong meridian, etc. Each meridian serves the function of connecting to the other large and small meridians.

"Gongsun Chong channel stomach heart chest, Neiguan Yinwei lower total;"

"Linqi gallbladder meridian connects to Daimai, Yangwei and Ruizu meet at Waiguan;"

"..."

Chen Sanshi recited the mantra silently in his mind.

With the help of standing meditation, breathing techniques and spear techniques as well as spiritual herbs, precious medicines and exotic beasts, he could feel the so-called "Ren and Du meridians" slowly opening up under the impact of the strength.

It was at this critical moment.

His energy and blood suddenly became completely out of control, and it became extremely difficult to generate strength.

Chen Sanshi, who had been handling the situation with ease, seemed to be completely exhausted after just two or three breaths. He could only try his best to control the remaining strength in his body and continue to break through.

Breathwork!
He understood.

At this moment, the breathing method becomes more important than the standing meditation.

gas!
Chen Sanshi began to use breathing techniques to feel the energy between heaven and earth more personally.

A mixed atmosphere!

Ordinary warriors can only rely on their feelings at this level.

But he also has the help of Qigong.

The energy of heaven and earth is a mixture of all kinds of qi.

Breathing.

It is to take the Qi into the body, and transform the body through the Qi which is invisible to the naked eye and the exercises, so as to break through the limit of the physical body.

but.

Not all Qi is useful. Among the mixed Qi, most of it is useless waste gas. The more it is inhaled into the body, the greater the impact on the results of cultivation.

If you want to open up the eight extraordinary meridians, you need to further develop the breathing method, extract only useful qi in the process, discard useless qi, and utilize the complex qi between heaven and earth to the extreme.

After figuring this out.

Chen Sanshi quickly mastered the trick, just like a huge rock blocking a stream was removed, and the strength began to flow freely through his meridians without any obstruction.

Du Meridian, Ren Meridian...

Until the last Yang Qiao meridian.

This is the end.

All the meridians in the human body are connected as one.

Accompanied by breathing techniques.

Waves of pure strength are generated in the body.

After the meridians are fully opened.

The Qi and blood in the human body are liberated and can all be used to strengthen the body, so the five senses and explosive power are suddenly elevated. In battle, breathing methods can be used to replenish strength, but the speed is relatively slow. If you are surrounded and attacked, you will still lose more than you gain. Qi and blood are the last reserve.

The meridians are unblocked!

[Kung Fu: Dragon Spear of the Nation. Open Meridians (Great Mastery)]

【Progress: 0】

[Effect: ..., all powers combined into one, a true dragon wreaks havoc]

[Hundreds of powers combined into one, like a real dragon wreaking havoc]: Practice hundreds of martial arts, and integrate them into one, letting the power flow into the body, like a real dragon wreaking havoc, destroying everything in its path, and going straight to the heart.

True dragon power!
Based on past experience.

This should be the complete version of True Dragon Power.

"Ta~"

Chen Sanshi picked up a stone, controlled the strength and knocked down an unknown bird from the sky. After catching it in his hand, he injected a little strength into its body.

"Squeak-"

The bird screamed and died instantly.

Inside its body, all its internal organs were tangled into a mess.

After the meridians were fully opened, Chen Sanshi's true dragon power evolved. It was not only useful during fights, but could also remain for a while after entering the opponent's body.

It can be said that even if it is a scratch on the arm, if it is not treated in time, it is possible to injure the vital parts due to the violent force!

This is the true dragon power!
Even if Chen Sanshi encounters a general who has just entered the Xuanxiang realm, he should not be afraid at all and can fight him in a fair fight.

Besides.

The sword energy technique will be perfected in the next two days.

With the addition of the jade pendant that was tricked from Cao Fan, there should be no problem in dealing with the upcoming chaos.

Speaking of jade pendants...

If this thing is in the hands of other people, it won't be as useful as you might imagine.

because.

After all, the jade pendant is used to store one's own power and then use it. At best, it is equivalent to a short-lasting backup battery, and it is badly damaged. It can even be said to be useless.

Otherwise, it would not have been so easily handed over to Cao Fan, and Cao Fan would not have easily mortgaged it to Zhang Laizi.

but.

Chen Sanshi has a magical fire!

He was not clear about the realms of cultivation in the Tao for the time being, but he could sense through its power that it was far superior to sword skills, and even an ordinary person who had entered the Tao would not be able to resist it.

It's a real killing weapon.

The only pity is that it can only be used once.

But it was picked up for free, so using it to exchange for the immortal fate in the deep pool was a good deal. Two days later, there would be a great chaos.

Although he was said to be in seclusion, in fact, most of the time he was there was at night. Chen Sanshi had to be on guard on Ziwei Mountain for a considerable part of the day. As the sky got brighter, he simply did not sleep and went out with his spear in hand.

There is tight security on Ziwei Mountain.

Basically, you can encounter patrolling soldiers every few hundred steps.

Li Gong, who had disappeared earlier, also disappeared completely and no trace of him could be found anymore.

The prince is in custody.

The King of Qin and the King of Qi continued to instigate people to submit impeachment memorials and bring up old accounts, saying that the Sixth Prince's rebellion was entirely framed by the Crown Prince and that his confinement should be lifted.

"Master Chen."

A young eunuch appeared quietly and said, "His Majesty summons you to see him."

"see me?"

Chen Sanshi replied: "Please lead the way, sir."

Inside the Jinque Palace.

Emperor Longqing sat cross-legged on a cushion.

"See Your Majesty."

"no!"

Emperor Longqing interrupted and said, "Please give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Sanshi bowed.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Emperor Longqing added: "On that day on the mountain, those who tried to assassinate me were all masters above the Mysterious Elephant Realm. You blocked them like that. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"It's true."

Chen Sanshi replied: "The incident happened too suddenly, and I don't know what realm they are in. I only know that protecting the emperor is my duty as a military officer."

"Okay."

Emperor Longqing said with emotion: "You are a loyal minister, just like Sun Xiangzong when he was young. That year, he was also an assassin. If Sun Xiangzong had not blocked the sword for me, I would have been a pile of yellow earth.

"Tell me about it.

"Who do you think sent the assassin?"

"His Majesty."

Chen Sanshi said perfunctorily: "I really don't know. If I have to say it, too many people would be suspected."

"The human heart is hard to predict."

Emperor Longqing did not continue to ask, but looked at the mountain scenery outside the palace: "I have seen too many people and too many things in my life, and I still don't understand why people change. I have never treated anyone unfairly, but they are never satisfied. They always want to go against me and force me."

"..."

Chen Sanshi was speechless for a moment.

He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly pulled him over to make such a sensational speech.

"Seventy years."

The tone of Emperor Longqing's words suddenly became old: "Seventy years ago, when I first ascended the throne, there were powerful ministers at home and powerful enemies outside. I only had three or five brothers like Sun Xiangzong and brought from the palace around me. The Great Sheng Empire was almost shaky and could collapse at any time.

"It is I who will implement new policies and sweep away corruption.

"It is I who recruited soldiers and raised generals to pacify the four directions.

"It was I who turned the tide, created the Longqing Restoration, and ushered in the prosperous era.

"Thirty years of hard work have brought stability to our country.

"For this reason, I was plagued by a serious illness. After the imperial physician at the time felt my pulse, he privately told the queen that I could only live for two more years at most.

“That’s when I finally reacted.

"My life has passed like this...

“I didn’t even have time to take a good look at or walk around the peaceful and prosperous era that I created with my own hands.

"In order to cure my illness, I had to seek the immortals and later I had to go into seclusion often.

"I just want to survive and continue to protect my Cao family's kingdom. Could it be that I am wrong?"

During the Great Sheng Dynasty, the chaos seventy years ago was even more exaggerated than it is today.

It seems that the country is about to perish.

It was indeed after Emperor Longqing ascended the throne that he swept away the declining trend and created a 20-year period of prosperity.

and.

In this world where martial arts can lead to sainthood.

Emperor Longqing was a scholar, or it can be said that his talent in martial arts was extremely poor. However, in the court at that time, there were two regents of martial arts and a veteran of three dynasties. Under such circumstances, he was still able to complete the purge of the court in just a few years, which shows that his strategy and ability were both first-class in the world.

But all this took a sharp turn for the worse when he began to practice Taoism in seclusion.

“Everything is stable now.

"I don't need to stay in seclusion day and night anymore, but times have changed and too many people have changed.

"They have become unrecognizable to me!"

Speaking of it.

The old and decadent look on Emperor Longqing's face was swept away, and an indescribable imperial aura began to rise.

"Chen Sanshi, will you change too?"

After a breathtaking question, his tone suddenly returned to being casual: "Forget it! You don't have to answer, I know what's going on, so just tell me about your reward.

"We crossed Hongze four times and pacified Mingzhou. We evaded Baipao and conquered Laizhou. We defeated 100,000 at Hulao Pass with only 3,000 soldiers.

“These are all heavenly skills.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?
"As long as you tell me, I can promise you."

"I haven't thought about it carefully yet."

Chen Sanshi said.

Precious medicine will definitely be rewarded, and then there will be official titles, gold and silver.

Then, if I have to say what I am interested in, it is the immortal method practiced by the emperor.

"Okay, then I will decide for you."

Emperor Longqing closed his eyes and said, "Today we have a heart-to-heart talk. I hope that after you return to Liangzhou, you will work hard to lead the troops and work with your master to wipe out the barbarians on the grassland.

"Okay, let's go down."

"As ordered!"

Chen Sanshi bowed and left.

By the time he left the Jinque Palace, it was already dark outside. After handing over defense duties to the others, he returned to his residence with his spear in hand, and then he saw a eunuch waiting in front of his door.

"Hey, Master Chen!"

The old man put on a flattering smile and said, "You still haven't paid off the money you owed to our Yunxiu Building last time."

"silver?"

Chen Sanshi immediately realized that it was someone from Xunxianlou who asked him to meet.

Come to the top floor.

Soon he met Liao Shizhong, or Lao Gonggong.

"Master Chen!"

The eunuch said with a smile: "I came here today because I have some great news to tell you."

"Oh?"

Chen Sanshi asked tentatively: "Could it be..."

"Not bad!"

Eunuch Lao gave a positive answer: "The whereabouts of Taizu's relics have been found! In the next few days, we will prepare to take them. If Lord Chen is interested, you can go with us."

"Find it so easily?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "What do you need me to do, father-in-law?"

"Master Chen, just follow along and help."

Eunuch Lao said: "We have obtained the chance to become immortals, and Xunxianlou is willing to share it with you, my Lord."

"Really? Thank you very much, father-in-law."

Chen Sanshi said this, but he was thinking in his heart.

Xunxianlou is so friendly?
Is it really about sharing clues for free, or even sharing treasures for free?

There is no such cheap thing in the world.

He secretly glanced at a painting on the wall and quickly guessed what it meant, but didn't say anything. He just agreed on the surface, then said goodbye and left. When passing by the box next door, he confirmed his discovery again.

Can’t be wrong!
In the box next to where they were talking, another person was eavesdropping.

Through the wall, Chen Sanshi could see two familiar auras intertwining together.

Be it spiritual energy or martial arts skills, they are exactly the same as that person.

The twelfth prince, Cao Zhi.

"It turns out that he is from Xunxian Tower."

"now it's right."

in this way.

Only then can it be explained clearly where Cao Zhi's cultivation came from and how to control Li Gong and make him do things for him.

From the surface.

Cao Zhi's greatest reliance in the court was the background of his mother's family and his uncle Changsun Xusheng, who was the Martial Saint, but this was not enough to plan the assassination that day.

Only Xunxian Tower was able to kidnap Li Gong under the noses of Meng Quji and others, then release him and assassinate him, and finally rescue him under the noses of several Martial Saints.

It seems.

This is the Fengshan ceremony at Ziwei Mountain.

Even if the Crown Prince and the King of Qin are not determined to fight to the death, the twelfth prince will fan the flames from behind and will not stop until the matter is raged to the maximum.

Just don't know.

What is the relationship between Cao Zhi and Xunxian Tower?

Xunxian Tower.

Didn’t you agree to only look for traces of immortals and not get involved in mundane affairs?

Think about it too.

Since all the immortal signs now appear around the emperor, he must get involved.

"What does Cao Zhi want to do by trying to drag me into this in a roundabout way?"

"Are you really planning to give me this 'big brother' immortal fate?"

Maybe it's possible.

But there is a certain price to pay.

Chen Sanshi will not jump into the pit.

Anyway, no matter how this group of people intrigue, the one who will get involved will only be Zhang Laizi, not him, Chen Sanshi.

……

"Little Lord!"

Eunuch Lao came to the next room and said: "The things you ordered have been done. When the time comes, as long as he goes, he will be tied to the same rope with us and can never get away. He will be used by Your Highness and Xunxian Tower."

"I'm not that stupid, my big brother."

Cao Zhi pinched the half-bitten cake and said, "He's very smart."

"Oh?"

Eunuch Lao said, "Young Master, what you mean is that he may not go. What should we do then?"

"If it can be done, do it. If it can't be done, forget it."

Cao Zhi threw the remaining cake into his mouth and said, "Get ready. If my fourth brother and eighth brother don't make any moves, I'll add fuel to the fire for them. The hundred-year Fengshan ceremony must be lively and exciting.

“When they start fighting, we’ll immediately go to the Deep Pond and start fighting.

"This is the only chance to get Taizu's relic. We must get it!"

……

mansion.

Chen Sanshi held the black bead in one hand and formed a seal with the other, drawing the purple incense energy into his body through his spiritual roots. However, due to the lack of skills, the incense energy could not be completely refined and stay in the dantian. Instead, it entered the meridians and was transformed into magic through a special circulation method.

"Om-"

A small purple sword kept appearing and disappearing.

Every time it condenses again, it will become visibly longer and stronger, until this is repeated hundreds or thousands of times, and the incense in the black bead is almost consumed.

Finally, the panel in front of me floated.

Ten thousand swords coming from the sky!

The biggest weakness of the sword technique so far is that it can only fire one shot at a time. When facing multiple enemies, it is impossible to attack indiscriminately. However, after having the [Ten Thousand Swords Coming from the Sky] entry, it means that this shortcoming can be made up for.

However, a large amount of incense reserves need to be consumed in advance.

[Magic: Ten Thousand Swords from the Sky. Level 1]

【Progress: 0/1000】

[Effect: Ten swords fired simultaneously]

Ten swords!

Chen Sanshi immediately began to absorb the mysterious energy of the incense in the black bead.

Unfortunately.

The incense is gone again.

He only condensed five sword techniques to completely drain them out, but this was enough.

With the Five Sword Qi Techniques and the Immortal Fire, he should be able to escape unscathed even if he is besieged by a crowd of people.

The time is just right!
Tonight is the time for the uprising.

……

Ziwei Palace.

"Fourth brother! Something terrible is happening!"

The King of Qi rushed into the palace with a secret letter in his hand, looking nervous.

"Eighth brother, please speak slowly."

The King of Qin stood up and asked: "What happened?"

"I just received a secret letter!"

The King of Qi pointed at the writing and said, "Big Brother will kill us in the next two days!"

"Is the information reliable?"

"Reliable! This person is a spy I trained, and the information he passed on was always accurate!"

"If that's the case, Li Gong has sneaked back again?"

The King of Qin was shocked: "There are so many people in and out of the mountain, are they all useless?"

"What should I do?"

The King of Qi said in a panic, "We don't know where Li Gong is hiding, and we don't have the Martial Saint to protect us. Why don't we go directly to our father's bedroom to hide? We can use this secret letter to sue him!"

"Without evidence, Father won't care."

The King of Qin calmed down and analyzed: "Father is suspicious by nature. If we go too far, Father will think we are trying to sow discord. No, Father may have already thought so!"

"Fourth brother..."

The King of Qi said with a sad face: "What should we do? Or should we go find General Meng?"

"No!"

The King of Qin's eyes gradually became fierce: "Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

"Oh?"

The King of Qi lowered his voice and said, "Fourth Brother, are you preparing? Is the risk too great?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been suffering from illness for a long time. Recently, he was first attacked by the aftermath of the assassination attempt, and then he was removed from his position as regent. The combination of the two made him angry and died of a sudden illness. Isn't this a very reasonable thing to do?"

The King of Qin said, "The Jinwu Guards who are in charge of guarding him are ours. Let's call a few imperial doctors and handle everything as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he might really do something desperate!"

"Okay, I'll listen to Fourth Brother!"

"Eighth brother! After this is accomplished, you and I will share the world!"

……

The prince's palace.

The doors inside and outside the bedroom were closed.

The armored and wielding Jinwu Guards patrolled closely, claiming to be protecting security but in fact they were conducting close surveillance.

The prince was standing in the yard, leaning on a cane, looking at the stars in the sky. Just then a cool breeze blew by, and he began to cough violently.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Master, please drink the medicine quickly."

The only old eunuch in the palace rushed out with a steaming hot medicine soup: "Please take care of yourself."

The prince ignored him and asked, "Is everything arranged?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

The old eunuch said: "Your Highness, are you still not confident in Master Yao's work? Moreover, most of the people inside and outside are our people. After the rebellion begins, it will surely be unstoppable and quelled before dawn.

"So, Your Highness, you still have the heavy responsibility of the capital and thirty-six states of our Great Sheng Dynasty on your shoulders. You must not let your body collapse. You'd better drink the medicine quickly."

"Give me."

The prince then took the bowl with trembling hands.

"Ah~"

The old eunuch served carefully: "Your Highness's illness is very strange. We have been treating him for so many years and using so many precious medicines, but why is it that he is not getting better..."

"Crash-"

While the master and servant were talking.

There was a sudden noisy sound outside, but it soon subsided.

"This……"

The old eunuch was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that the rebellion started in advance?"

"wrong!"

The prince looked solemn: "It's not Lao Yao and the others!"

"Buzz!"

The door to the bedroom opened.

Seven or eight people rushed into the hospital.

The leader among them.

It was the fat fourth prince, Prince Qin, and beside him was the long-bearded eighth prince, Prince Qi.

behind them.

He was also followed by three doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau and two attendants.

"Fourth brother, eighth brother."

The prince supported himself with a cane and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to visit my big brother!"

The King of Qin said with concern, "I heard that my eldest brother's condition suddenly worsened, so I came with Doctor She and others to see him. I also brought a precious medicine that is said to cure all diseases."

"My Lords, please go back."

The old eunuch stopped in front of His Royal Highness and said vigilantly, "Your Highness has just taken medicine, and the two princes barged in without even saying hello. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Humble slave girl!"

The King of Qi shouted, "We are visiting our elder brother. Do we need to inform him? Where did you come from, you bitch? How dare you talk to me like that?!"

"you you……"

The old eunuch naturally saw that something was wrong, and he used his strength to intimidate, "My two princes, if you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."

"boom!"

It was at this time.

Several imperial doctors standing behind the King of Qin and the King of Qi took action brazenly.

Among them there is even a master in the Xuanxiang realm!

They quickly subdued the old eunuch and began to pour medicine into his mouth.

"Doctor She!"

The prince pointed at the doctor and said, "How dare you do this!"

"Hahahaha!"

King Qin sneered: "Brother, why do you think your illness has not only not been cured but has become more and more serious over the years?"

"Old Four, Old Eight!"

The prince's voice trembled: "Although you and I have different mothers, we are both the flesh and blood of our father. How could you two be so vicious?"

"Brother! I just saw that you were too tired and wanted you to have a good rest."

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you help His Royal Highness take his medicine?"
