daughter in power

Chapter 198 Longevity Feast

Compared with Rong Chuan, Gao Yuanyou looked much more normal.

For a moment, Jiao Qiqi felt kind.

She didn't say anything, but turned her eyes to Rong Chuan, and only asked when he would return home.

Rong Chuan naturally had to leave.

After being thrown by her, he had no intention of taking her away.

Alone, not even staying at the inn, so he left in a hurry.

When leaving, Gao Yuanyou gave him 200 taels of silver before he set off.

Rong Chuan went away, and Qiqi said: "Thank you."

Gao Yuanyou smiled slightly: "We are all a family, why bother to say thank you? When Gao's family was wiped out, if it wasn't for godfather and mother and you, how could I have come to Liuhuo City."

He is a grateful man.

She turned to look at him and whispered, "Are you really going to join the army?"

Gao Yuanyou nodded: "Although I don't have a backing, as long as I work hard enough, I believe there will always be a day of success."

She smiled: "Let me introduce you to a place to go. If you can, you can also take me along."

Gao Yuanyou was puzzled.

She didn't explain further, she just took off the jade pendant on her body, handed it to him, and said gently: "Dongfangxiu, the lord of Xiaoyang City, do you recognize him?"

Naturally I recognize it.

She nodded: "You give this jade pendant to Dongfang Xiu, and you say that the young master is weak and can avoid the wind and sand. Wearing Qixiang jade with you is the most gentle and pleasant."

Gao Yuanyou became more and more puzzled.

She smiled gently: "If Dongfang Xiu is willing to see you, you can tell him about joining the army. Just say that you have a third younger brother who plans to join the army and fight with you and follow him."

What a talent Dongfang Xiu is.

How can he obey Gao Yuanyou's orders.

But since Qiqi dared to speak out, he also took the jade pendant and said seriously: "I will go to the Dongfang Mansion tomorrow morning to ask for a meeting."

After a slight pause, he couldn't help but said: "The army is full of men, it's really inconvenient for you to join the Military Commission. However, if you really want to go, I will also mention it to General Dongfang."

Qiqi nodded.

That night, she stayed in the inn.

Gao Yuanyou returned to the academy.

Before dawn, he went to the center of the city, preparing to find Dongfang Xiu and deliver the jade pendant.

And Qiqi came out of the inn and went to Flowing Fire City to check the marks made yesterday.

Outside the Qixi Pavilion, there was already a response.

Fresh marks, not her handwriting.

She was on guard for a long while, and while no one was paying attention, she searched for the past according to the signs.

Along the way, they found a secret house.

The secret house is not big, she came here once in a trance, but she doesn't remember clearly.

Walking along the lakeside full of plum blossoms to the main courtyard, you can see verdant grass and shrubs by the water along the way.

On the other side of the bushes, there are a few vultures perched.

It seems that he is not afraid of life.

She didn't have time to enjoy the scenery and hurried to the main courtyard.

When I arrived at the main courtyard, I saw a whole courtyard of characters.

Among them, several people were subordinates who were separated at the border of Nanzhao.

She knew all of these people, and it was inevitable that she would feel sad when she met them.

Especially when those few people saw that Qin Cai was not by her side, they couldn't help asking.

She had no choice but to tell all the previous events, and at the end she only said that there was no trace of King Xiaoyang, and Jin Peng escorted her back to the palace, but she escaped.

Someone was going to rescue Qin Cai immediately, she nodded in agreement.

There are very few people in Eshan right now, and Jinpeng is not around, so it is naturally the most suitable for saving people from prison.

A few people left at the moment, and went to Eshan to rescue people together.

Before leaving, he asked her about her journey in detail, and also asked how to deal with the money and silver gray python.

She explained everything.

These people left, and the rest of the people looked at her, begging her to order the assassination of the national teacher Jinpeng.

After killing the national teacher, he planned to go to Nanzhao province again to find the trace of King Xiaoyang.

After all, it is to avenge Xiaoyang King and help Xiaoyang King seize the country.

Her eyes flickered, and she looked at the state of everyone's fists and fists, and said calmly: "The power of the national teacher is so powerful, it is really not easy to assassinate him. The prince is on the border of Nanzhao, and it will be difficult to find it for a while. Why don't we first Settle down in the city, and then plot slowly."

Everyone was very angry and refused to agree to this request.

Someone said: "Princess, this is the prince's secret house, and no one knew about it in the past. Otherwise, we would not be able to meet here. Now that Xia Ze is in power, many ministers in the court have turned their backs. The prince wants to make a comeback. It is really very difficult. Difficult. Look at this secret house, which is also deserted and abandoned for a long time."

Someone else echoed: "Brother is right. If the prince wants to make a comeback, he must first kill the national teacher, then kill Xia Ze, and eradicate those courtiers who are like grass. In the end, he can achieve hegemony."

Everyone's minds are very firm.

That is to kill the national teacher Jinpeng, Xia Ze, and the nobles of the court, and then the matter is over.

She looked at everyone's determined faces with lingering eyes, and nodded: "You are right. These days are really hard for everyone, I am not thinking carefully."

At the moment, he no longer persuades everyone to behave in peace.

Immediately ordered everyone to pay close attention to the movement of the national teacher.

But if there is a change, report it immediately.

With her words, everyone immediately recovered their spirits, and they all responded and left.

Now, if they are not allowed to take revenge, they may not be able to sleep.

This is a spirit of self-improvement of the losers.

A spirit that even they can't explain.

And she couldn't kill and refute that spirit.

She shook her head, settled down some more people, and told everyone to perform their duties before leaving the secret house.

Finally, there is also a fixed meeting place.

Finally, I was able to pass more messages conveniently.

As for King Xiaoyang, if Jinpeng is really him in disguise.

These subordinates vowed to kill him, isn't it self-defeating?
At this time, she didn't dare to reveal too much.

People are unpredictable.

When she went back to the princess mansion, Shuang'er was waiting for her in the courtyard.

Seeing her flying over the walls, she was very surprised: "Qiqi, when did you learn martial arts?"

She smiled faintly: "I have been through the weather and sword for a long time, if I don't know martial arts, I am afraid that I will die already."

She didn't worry about it, but asked Shuang'er why she came.

Shuang'er was half happy and half worried: "Dali Temple has found out the identity of the corpse, it is you. Now, the emperor is very angry, and the whole harem is not in the mood for him. But Concubine Wen and the 24th King seem to have been lifted .”

In this way, the palace has returned to silence?
She nodded.

Shuang'er said: "Master Jinpengjin, the national teacher who captured you, doesn't seem to plan to go back to Nanzhao."

This was within Qiqi's expectation.

Shuang'er said again: "I heard that the national teacher has made a longevity pill, and it will be presented to the emperor at the longevity banquet."

What is Longevity Banquet?
Shuang'er added: "I don't know either. But judging by the attitude of the national teacher, it seems that if you eat that thing, you can become immortal. Many people in the royal family have received invitation letters, inviting us to participate in this longevity banquet on the day of the spring return meeting." .”

It's Spring Return Conference again.

It turned out that there was no good meeting at the Spring Return Conference.However, the people in the palace never tire of it.

Shuang'er is naturally among the invites.

It is really close to the Spring Return Conference.

Qiqi disguises herself as an ordinary servant girl, and follows Shuang'er out of the princess mansion, heading for the palace.

Because it was prepared in advance.

So the maids don't know.

The carriage entered the palace smoothly, and many servant girls were left waiting on Chang'an Avenue.

Shuang'er brings only Qiqi to the spring return meeting.

This year's Spring Return Conference is very strange.

The National Teacher chose the Plum Garden in the Royal Garden, which has been uninhabited for a long time, as the venue.

As soon as he thought that the emperor had taken the longevity pill, he would become immortal from the plum garden and fly away.

Everyone's mood is a bit complicated.

Qiqi followed in Shuang'er's footsteps, not daring to look up.

But the path under his feet is familiar.

After entering the plum garden, the house is no longer what it used to be.

A high platform was erected in the open space to facilitate the practice of the national teacher.

There are many stands around the high platform, and there are banquets on the stands.

Now, there are many palace maidens shuttling among them, preparing fine wine and delicacies for everyone attending the banquet.

The national teacher is on the highest platform.

To be honest, Jinpeng's identity was unfamiliar to many members of the royal family.

Everyone doesn't know much about this person's origin.

It is Qiqi, even though he has stayed in Eshan for a long time, looking at him is still like looking at flowers in a fog.

At this moment, the national teacher is on the high platform.

With a fairy-like appearance, I don't know how many royal family members have been fascinated.

Shuang'er glanced at it and said calmly: "Strange, I have never seen this national teacher who is far away in Nanzhao, but no matter how I look at him, he has an indescribably familiar feeling."

Qiqi was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Those who have achieved Taoism and become immortals probably give people such an illusion. Otherwise, why do you think the emperor trusts him?"

Shuang'er couldn't help smiling: "It's true."

Xia Ze is notoriously suspicious.

Being able to entrust a heavy responsibility to the national teacher, and even trust him extremely in the matter of Changsheng Pill.

It can be said that the national teacher is extraordinary.

The two stopped talking, and followed Gong'e's guidance to their own seats, and waited without saying a word.

Many royal family members came around, and they didn't talk much when they greeted each other.

Today's protagonist is longevity pill.

This wait is noon.

The national teacher was still practicing on the high platform, chanting words, but he didn't know what he was talking about.

But the shadow of Changsheng Pill was also gone.

Xia Ze didn't even show up.

Just when everyone couldn't sit still, there was a sudden thunder on the high platform.

The shocked people were stunned on the spot.

Qiqi raised her head, looking at the slender back of the immortal figure on the high platform.

The national teacher's wide sleeves fluttered, dancing without wind, like a pocket for a ride, gathering everyone's attention.

In the distance, the sky was filled with darkness, and it turned out to be a group of dark-colored vultures.

Flying towards the high platform.

The vulture headed by it, with its wide wings covering the sky and the sun, looks majestic and majestic.

The royal family members sitting in the plum garden suddenly changed their expressions and stood up one after another trying to escape.

"The vulture is the messenger to welcome His Majesty to ascend to the immortal. How can you mediocre people understand the mystery of it?"

On the high platform, the national teacher spoke loudly, a face that was not considered peerless, as if suddenly coated with a strange charm, pulling everyone's running steps.

Shuang'er stopped and looked up at him, speechless for a while.

Qiqi didn't pay attention to these, but looked at Linger's whistling figure across the sky.

Seeing nothing unusual, he turned his head and looked at the pedestrians on the road.

Xia Ze finally arrived.

Seeing the vultures all over the sky, he didn't have the slightest fear, and he was not at all like other members of the royal family.

He walked to the high platform swaggeringly, looked at the national teacher with a smile: "National teacher, are you ready?"

Although he was smiling, Qiqi didn't see any smile on his face.

The entire plum garden also became silent and cold because of his arrival.

Very depressed.

Everyone bowed their heads in worship.

He ignored it.

The national teacher said: "Everything is ready, just wait for these envoys to eat these corpses, and then the feast of longevity can begin."

The plum garden is wide and the platform is huge.

Everyone gathered around the high platform, but they didn't see any different decorations.

Where did the dead body come from?

Everyone is puzzled.

Under the high platform, the tightly-covered curtain was slowly pulled aside.

Shuang'er felt nauseous, and covered her mouth to hold back.

The others didn't have such good concentration as her, so they immediately vomited.

Looking around, Qiqi can see that the densely packed "corpses" under the high platform are wriggling.

It was never a corpse, but a person whose limbs had been cut off.

Men and women, naked, twisting their heads and bodies, like the fattest maggots.

The black vultures jumped down with a "hula" and rushed under the high platform.

Immediately, a gluttonous feast began.

The twisting under the high platform became more and more violent.

The screams tore people's eardrums and made people's hearts clenched.

The royal family couldn't take it anymore, and many people started running wildly.

try to escape.

On the high platform, Xia Ze listened to the screams with satisfaction, with a smile on his lips.

The national teacher has already pulled out a dark golden brocade box from his bosom.

The distance was too far, and Qiqi couldn't hear what they said.

However, I also understood the general meaning.

Her eyes flashed, and she couldn't help frowning.

The Longevity Banquet is not a good banquet.

Just at this time, the national teacher on the high platform suddenly turned up his sleeves and pointed at a person running in the distance.

I don't know what he said.

Xia Ze's face immediately changed color.
