Snapped.
Amid the sound of snapping fingers, the melodious sound of a flute came from far away.
Dongfang Xinglan suddenly turned her head and stared at Prince Yu. Even if all the internal strength exploded, it could not stop her from kneeling on one knee weakly, trembling slightly.
Lu Jinan frowned slightly and glanced at Dongfang Xinglan, then walked towards Prince Yu.
"I just told you to kill her, but you didn't listen. Isn't something wrong now?"
Dongfang Xinglan didn't reply. Prince Yu subconsciously took two steps back and shouted, "If you don't want your master to get into trouble, just stand still and don't move!"
"..——-It's not with her." Dongfang Xinglan endured the severe pain in his body and spoke slowly word by word.
Lu Jinan took a step forward in an instant, punched Prince Yu in the stomach, and then swept his leg across to knock her down the moment she bent over.
Then he grabbed her ankle, turned around and quickly pulled Dongfang Xinglan up and carried her on his back, chasing after the source of the flute sound.
"Don't, don't try to find her—you can't."
?
Prince Yu, who was dragged to the ground, had disheveled hair and was about to eat someone: "This prince, this prince will never forgive you———·lowly slave!"
Lu Jinan turned a deaf ear and directly released his spiritual power, covering an area of 100 miles.
Then he changed direction and headed straight for a place five kilometers away.
Prince Yu's face changed: "You——
As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she felt Lu Jinan's speed increase several times again and he shuttled through the forest, making her dizzy.
However, before he could recover, he felt himself being thrown out the next second.
The whistling of the wind in her ears, accompanied by the sound of the flute that was getting closer and closer, made her completely unable to react and knocked down several people.
"puff!"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the dizzy Prince Yu vaguely saw the figures around him being punched in the head one after another, and screams came one after another and then stopped abruptly.
"you---"
Prince Yu opened his mouth, and then his sight was enveloped by Lu Jinan's figure, and he couldn't utter a word after that.
Lu Jinan bent down and stretched out his hand, directly pulling the old woman in a black robe with cloud patterns behind Prince Yu, and said expressionlessly: "Antidote."
The old woman was bleeding from her mouth and nose, her body trembling slightly as she looked at the evil spirit, tightly gripping the flute in her hand.
"I'm asking you, how do you solve—" Lu Jinan opened his mouth again, but before he could finish his words, the sound of Dongfang Xinglan recovering his breath slowly rang out from his back.
"There's no antidote. I'm fine—let me down."
Lu Jinan snatched the flute from Lao Ji's hand, and then put Dongfang Xinglan on the ground.
Then, he casually picked up the flutes beside her body one by one.
Chapter 209 "I'll protect you."
While strolling in the garden, Lu Jinan picked up all the long flutes, and then found a clean place to stand next to a group of female corpses filled with the smell of blood, and curiously studied the long flute in his hand.
Dongfang Xinglan silently stared at Lu Jinan's profile, wondering if his previous action could be considered a token of his allegiance.
After all, he hasn't officially joined his group yet, so it's normal for him to be left alone.
Does he want to learn authentic body-building methods as soon as possible?
Dongfang Xinglan, whose Qi and blood gradually calmed down, gathered his thoughts. No matter what his purpose was,
Anyway, I owe him a favor.
When I bring him back to Shengjing, I'll train him well.
She let out a light breath and looked down at her imperial sister Dongfang Xingsong, whose hair was disheveled and whose face was covered with scratches from tree branches.
Dongfang Xingsong's eyes twitched, but he didn't stand up immediately because the guy had broken his ankle while dragging him all the way.
But she still managed to hold on and said, "My father has already ordered the Imperial Master to send the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to take you back. Do you still dare to accuse me of falsely transmitting the imperial edict?"
Dongfang Xinglan didn't say anything. Lu Jinan turned his head to look at her, wondering what excuse she would make this time.
As he was thinking about it, he saw Dongfang Xinglan take out a shovel from the Qiankun bag on the back of his waist, turn around and walk about ten steps before starting to dig the hole one shovel at a time.
Lu Jinan's eyes lit up. After taking a wary look at Dongfang Xingsong, whose expression changed drastically, he looked with interest at the huge pit that Dongfang Xinglan had dug out in a short while. The pit had a diameter of more than ten meters and a depth of five meters.
Dongfang Xinglan inserted the shovel at his feet, and then threw the bodies of old ladies and young women into the huge pit.
Seeing Dongfang Xinglan walking towards the old man whom he had not killed just now, holding the shovel high in his hand, Lu Jinan couldn't help but smile.
It turns out that Dongfang Xinglan’s previous words of “I’ll dig a hole and bury you” were not a joke. Does this woman really have a habit of digging holes and burying people?
Then—just as Dongfang Xinglan was about to slam the shovel down, he quickly said, "Wait."
Dongfang Xinglan paused, then looked up at Lu Jinan: "Will you help me bury it?"
Lu Jinan stood up and took a step forward, shaking his head and saying with a smile, "How can I trouble Her Royal Highness to do this kind of thing personally?"
He was indeed giving Dongfang Xinglan a "letter of allegiance", so that it would be much easier for him to do things in the future when he went to the Dongfang Dynasty. "Oh." Dongfang Xinglan put down the shovel and looked at Lu Jinan who was coming over. He squatted in front of the old woman, and a long sword appeared in his slightly clenched palm.
The sword is completely black, and the blood beads on the hilt and the blade give people a sinister feeling.
Nature is the testimony of the underworld.
Lu Jinan had wanted to use the ghost certificate to obtain the memories of those guards before, but considering that the Eastern Dynasty might have placed some restrictions on the souls of those guards, he did not do it.
But he had already come to the conclusion from Dongfang Xinglan's words: she could help keep the guard's murder a secret.
Therefore, the Eastern Dynasty would not directly "see" who the murderer was through the killed guards.
Now you can safely use the ghost certificate to check your memory.
Moreover, he felt that this group of people in the Sitianjian who were able to control the bloodline of the Eastern Royal Family must know more about the overall affairs of the Eastern Royal Family than those ordinary guards.
Lu Jinan stretched out his hand and directly stabbed the certificate into Lao Ji's forehead, and then pulled it out.
As Lao Ji lost her breath, he suddenly felt Prince Yu's breathing quicken. Turning his head, he saw that the other party was staring straight at the certificate in his hand.
Not only her, but also Dongfang Xinglan.
Lu Jinan looked at Dongfang Xinglan calmly: "What's wrong?"
"Your sword..." Dongfang Xinglan weighed his words carefully. Dongfang Xingsong sneered, "My dear sister, you really know how to pick people. You actually chose a thief who is so disrespectful to us as your subordinate!
Can the 'National Guardian Sword' passed down by His Majesty the Great Ancestor be imitated by others?!"
Guard the country?
Is the Mingzheng the national sword in the Eastern Dynasty?
Lu Jinan's thoughts raced. This meant that the Eastern Dynasty possessed one of the nine Hades' Swords, and it was also regarded as the nation's sacred sword?
When they went to the Underworld, the Black and White Impermanence said that there were nine Underworld Certificates in the world, but no one had gone to the Underworld with one for more than 5,000 years.
Even if the royal family of the Eastern Dynasty does not want to or cannot go to the Underworld, will others be dissatisfied with the Underworld Certificate in the hands of the Eastern Dynasty?
But over the years, the Eastern Dynasty has never had any information about the underworld evidence.
This is not reasonable.
After all, the Eastern Dynasty has been as powerful as it is now from the beginning. How could no information have been leaked in five thousand years?
Is there some secret hidden in this?
Lu Jinan glanced at Prince Yu, whose gaze was somewhat fiery and greedy as he looked at the funeral certificate.
The Netherworld Certificate in my hand was transformed into a long sword by the hands of Emperor Shandu, so she thought it was a replica, but even if it was a replica, she wanted it...
If it is inherited from Taizu, is it a symbol of the emperor?
A murderous look flashed in Lu Jinan's eyes. This Prince Yu could not be kept.
The importance of the underworld evidence to the Dongfang royal family is self-evident. Prince Yu will definitely mention this matter after he returns, and then the Dongfang Dynasty, which is very likely controlled by Yinsheng Mountain, will be able to easily guess his identity.
If this happens, it will be detrimental to his future service under Dongfang Xinglan and entering the Dongfang Dynasty.
Lu Jinan put away the funeral certificate and threw Lao Ji's body into the pit. When he was about to take the shovel, Dongfang Xinglan had already taken the shovel.
Then... start filling the holes.
Dongfang Xinglan said calmly, "I'm interested."
This interest is really unique.'
Lu Jinan temporarily put aside his thoughts about the ghost evidence, found a clean piece of ground to sit down, and watched Dongfang Xinglan filling the hole.
Dongfang Xinglan's attitude towards the Imperial Observatory can explain a lot.
Judging from the scene just now, the Imperial Observatory led by the Eastern Dynasty's Imperial Master was helping Emperor Jianing supervise the royal family members, and its power was obviously enormous.
However, Dongfang Xinglan buried the bodies as he told this group of people to, and it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the Imperial Master.
Going deeper, he might also be dissatisfied with the emperor Jianing, the father of the imperial teacher and his immediate superior.
For Lu Jinan, this is a good thing.
If it's really the upper realm that's interfering, it seems they haven't completely controlled the Eastern Royal Family's thoughts, but rather this bloodline control—if it's not poisoning, then what's the principle?
Lu Jinan held the flute and poked the soil. Looking at the small holes that were gradually poked out, he suddenly realized something.
"Bloodline, Sky Emperor, Half-Demon—it's indeed similar to the bloodline suppression of the demon race."
Lu Jinan glanced at Dongfang Xingsong. Why didn’t the flute sound just now have any effect on Prince Yu?
Isn't the music that controls every member of the royal family different?
Not to mention the three thousand concubines of Emperor Jianing, just look at the four thousand years of history of the Eastern Dynasty. How many songs would have to be composed for this?
Thinking of this, Lu Jinan began to check Lao Ji's memory before she transformed into the Yin and Ming Qi.
At first glance, it seems that this song was sung by a member of the royal family, but Emperor Jianing is not among them.
Moreover, the Sitianjian supervisors who managed the male members of the royal family were all men, while the Sitianjian supervisors who managed the female members of the royal family were all women.
No wonder the astronomical supervisors who came to take Dongfang Xinglan back this time were all women.
In the Eastern Dynasty, the powers and responsibilities exercised by the Imperial Observatory were the same as those of the clan affairs office of a normal dynasty.
But the power of the Imperial Observatory was much greater than that of the Imperial Clan Court. After all, Lu Jinan had never heard of outsiders managing the royal family.
The "Zongrenfu" was also feared by the royal family.
However, despite this, these inspectors from the Imperial Observatory could not influence the royal family at will, because for the sound of the flute to have any effect, it must be engraved with the emperor's edict.
Lu Jinan took out the long flute that the old woman had just held. No wonder this long flute was different from the other long flutes.
It turns out that the strange golden patterns on it contain the imperial edict of Emperor Jianing.
Eastern Imperial Master Li Xuanzhen
After reading all the memories, Lu Jinan had a preliminary understanding of the situation of the Eastern Dynasty.
Although the Imperial Observatory was not involved in major state affairs, it knew quite a few royal affairs.
The Eastern Dynasty indeed uses body training as the only way to practice, and as the ruler of a country, Emperor Jianing is the strongest, with strength comparable to the God of War he believes in.
And he himself did have three thousand concubines, no more, no less.
But what amazed Lu Jinan the most was that all three thousand concubines in the harem had been favored by Emperor Jianing, and more than half of them had given birth to children for him.
Far surpassing all the previous emperors of the Eastern Dynasties.
However, although Emperor Jianing had many descendants, this number was not even a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Eastern royal family.
The Eastern Dynasty has been established for 4,448 years, and the number of royal family members in the Eastern Dynasty has reached tens of millions.
Lu Jinan had never heard of such a fertile royal family.
However, what surprised Lu Jinan was that, although one could reach the pinnacle of physical training and live for over ten thousand years, the longest-lived person in the Eastern royal family only lived for a thousand years, and most of them could not even live to be five hundred years old.
You know, the environment of the Great Domain is enough for ordinary people to live to over a hundred years easily, but the average lifespan of the Eastern royal family is also a hundred years... Is it a prosthesis that has been refined?
Is there any record of this incident in Wandao Sect?
Lu Jinan recalled the books he had read, but he had never seen such records. Did it involve the authority of the Son of God or was there really no record of it?
After Lu Jinan made his decision, he asked his master first.
While thinking, he looked at Prince Yu twice more.
