"What are you talking about? The Li family's legitimate son is missing?"
In the Shou'an Hall of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Shang received the news from the secret guard. He was shocked and asked in a deep voice, "When did it happen?"
"Just after the New Year's Day."
The secret guard half-knelt on the ground and responded respectfully, "Li Jiaoxi and a great practitioner of the Five Realms of the Li family were attacked on the way back to the capital. The great practitioner of the Five Realms of the Li family fled back to Yuzhou. When he entered the city, he was seriously injured."
"Find out who did it?"
Shang Huang suppressed the turmoil in his heart and continued to ask.
"not yet."
The secret guard replied, "However, we found traces of scorched earth and ice at the scene of the battle, as well as gun marks."
After hearing the secret guard's report, Emperor Shang's expression suddenly condensed. It was the King of Water and Fire, Jade and Qian Ji Bai Lian!
Did the seventh brother and Mu Jin take action against the Li family's legitimate son?
In the midst of his thoughts, Shang Huang put down the chess pieces in his hands, walked to the window, looked in the direction of Ting Yuxuan, and frowned slightly.
It turned out that the seventh brother left the palace because of this matter.
What is the purpose?
There should be no grudges between the seventh brother and the Li family, so why did they intercept and kill the legitimate son of the Li family halfway?
Thinking of this, Emperor Shang looked at the secret guards behind him and asked, "Is there any news about the spy who is following Prince Wen?"
"No."
The secret guard responded truthfully, "Since Prince Wen left the palace, those informants can no longer be contacted."
"I'm afraid it's more likely to end."
Emperor Shang murmured, looking into the distance with a strange look on his face.
What on earth is the seventh brother going to do?
"Your Majesty, what will the Li family do? In order to prevent their subordinates from panic, the Li family has suppressed the disappearance of Professor Li."
The secret guard looked at His Majesty in front of him and asked, "Do you need us to spread the news?"
"No need for now."
Emperor Shang shook his head and responded, "There is no need to be so anxious until the matter is found out. I always feel that this matter is not simple. You should search for Prince Wen's whereabouts as soon as possible and report back immediately if you have any information."
"yes!"
The secret guard took the order and immediately stood up and left.
In front of the window, Emperor Shang stared at the scene outside the window, thoughts flashing through his eyes.
The seventh brother's martial arts talent was even better than Bai'er's, but because of his inherent deficiencies and frailty, he always gave people the impression that he was powerless.
As for his Tingyuxuan, almost no one has been there in recent years, and it has gradually become a forgotten area in the palace.
Unconsciously, twenty or thirty years have passed. Counting the days, the seventh brother probably doesn't have much time left.
It is really strange for the seventh brother to take action against the legitimate son of the Li family at this time.
Just when Shang Huang got the news of Li Ziye's disappearance.
In the northern border of Dashang, Prince Wen and his party went all the way north, getting closer and closer to Mobei.
“The scenery is nice.”
In the ice and snow, Li Ziye looked at the snowflakes in the sky and said.
"Professor Li is so elegant. Even when he is about to die, he can still be in the mood to enjoy the scenery."
On the side, Mu Wenqing tightened her fur robe tightly and said with a tired look.
"It's only when I'm about to die that I have to see more of the scenery in the world."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "I'm not like the person in front of me. I can see the light and the beauty of the world, and I can go anywhere. But they can only stay in the cold extreme north all year round, like frogs at the bottom of a well. How can they understand the beauty of the world? How nostalgic it is.”
Ahead, the demon envoy heard the ridicule of the person behind him, his expression darkened, his figure flashed past, and his sharp claws stretched out.
"boom!"
The moment the sharp claws came closer, the spear flew across the air, knocking back the demon messenger with a bang.
"Don't be arrogant in front of the prince!"
Mu Jin stood between the two of them with Thousand Machines and Hundred Refinements in hand, looking at the demon envoy in front of her, and said coldly.
When the demon envoy saw Mu Jin's behavior, his face became more and more gloomy.
"Hibiscus, put away your weapons."
Mu Wenqing said softly, and immediately stepped forward. The moment he met the demon envoy, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he reminded him indifferently, "Did you make a mistake? Mr. Li is not yours yet." If you take action against my hostage without my consent, do you think you are too disrespectful to me? This is just this one time, it won’t happen next time!”
After saying that, Mu Wenqing didn't say anything more and continued walking towards the north.
The demon envoy felt the murderous intention in Prince Wen, and his body was shaken. His expression changed several times, and he did not dare to say another word.
Behind him, Hibiscus put away Qian Ji Bai Lian and looked back at the young man behind him, with a look of helplessness on his face.
I have long heard that Li Jiaoxi's mouth made several Mobei princes angry and lost their temper many times. Now that they have seen it, they are well-deserved.
It seems that Professor Li has been very restrained in the past few meetings.
Li Ziye saw Mu Jin looking at her, spread his hands, and immediately followed him.
He has such things as quality, but not much.
Facing the lackey of the God of Light, what qualities does he need?
After a brief interlude, the three people and one demon continued to move forward. The road to the north was so long.
"Your Majesty, if you are tired, let's stop and rest for a while."
After walking for another half day, it was getting dark. Mu Jin noticed that the prince's face was getting paler and said with some worry.
"Jiaoxi Li, is the Dashang border just ahead?" Mu Wenqing looked at Li Ziye and asked.
"Yes, the front is Beizhangyuan."
Li Ziye looked at the northern wasteland and replied, "After passing Beizhangyuan and heading north, we will reach the area of Mobei."
"Then let's rest here for the night." After hearing this, Mu Wenqing stopped and said.
Ahead, the demon envoy heard Prince Wen's decision. Although he was in a hurry, he didn't dare to say anything.
The three of them stopped, and Hibiscus immediately found dry firewood and made a bonfire.
Mu Wenqing sat in front of the fire, with an increasingly tired look on his face.
When the demon envoy saw the fire, he subconsciously stayed away.
Seeing this, Li Ziye added a few pieces of dry wood to the fire.
Suddenly, the fire crackled and lit up the night sky in the wilderness.
"He seems to be afraid of fire."
Hibiscus also noticed the reaction of the demon messenger and reminded him.
"The monsters like the cold, but don't like the light."
Mu Wenqing put his hand on the fire to roast it, and said softly, "It's not surprising to be afraid of fire."
"Beasts are generally afraid of fire."
On the side, Li Ziye said calmly, "This is instinct. If you want to overcome instinct, you must have a higher level of thinking and escape from the category of beasts."
"That makes sense."
Mu Wenqing nodded thoughtfully and asked, "How is Professor Li's injury?"
"No problem."
Li Ziye responded and said seriously, "My lord, your situation seems not to be good. The journey to the far north is far away, can your lord still hold on?"
"Can hold on."
A smile appeared on Mu Wenqing's pale face, and he responded, "I am tired of being trapped in a place the size of the palace all day long. Now that I can see the beautiful scenery in this world, I am very happy."
"There are so many beautiful places in the world like stars. Your Majesty, you need to stay a little longer."
Li Ziye looked at Prince Wen in front of him and said sternly, "After we finish this round, I will take the prince to have a good time."
"good."
Mu Wenqing smiled tiredly and responded.
