The Yuxi Palace was noisy at the moment. Dozens of soldiers were constantly rummaging through every corner of the palace, looking for the imperial edict of the late Emperor Baili Longteng that Gao He said.
On the throne, the position that originally belonged to Baili Longteng was now occupied by Baili Xiyu, who was wearing armor. He closed his eyes and said nothing, with Gao He being tied up under his head.
Gao He looked at the soldiers rummaging around the hall, his expression as usual, without any disturbance.
Not long after, the leading soldier came to report: "Your Majesty, we have searched inside and outside and found no edict from the late emperor."
Baili Xiyu suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, waved his hand, and asked everyone to leave.
The palace door of the main hall was closed. Baili Xiyu looked at Gao He with an indifferent expression: "Are you lying to me?"
Gao He said: "I will not lie to the Fourth Prince. I have said that the late emperor's edict can only be found with the Queen Mother's key. Otherwise, even if the Fourth Prince demolishes the Yuxi Palace, he will definitely not be able to find it." !”
Baili Xiyu suppressed her anger, stood up and walked around the hall for a few steps. She turned her back to Gao He and asked, "Eunuch Gao, you have served your father for the longest time. Do you know that my father wants to pass on the news to you?" Who is the seat for?"
"Prince!" Gao He said without hesitation: "Your Majesty has never changed his mind."
"Then how could the prince die?" Baili Xiyu suddenly turned his head and stared at Gao He, his expression full of distrust: "Since he wants to pass the throne to the prince, how can he watch the prince die of poisoning?"
Gao He sighed and said, "That's because His Majesty didn't expect that he would fail."
As soon as these words came out, Baili Xiyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Father is really self-righteous. Does he really think that he is invincible in the world?"
Gao He didn't answer, he turned his head away, still sad.
Baili Xiyu smiled coldly and said: "I have sent people to find the Queen Mother. I have taken my seat as the Ninth Five-Year-Old Queen!"
…………
The four gates of Taiyue City were under martial law at the moment. Although there were not many living people in the city, the soldiers who suddenly rushed in still started looting. They went in and out of private and official houses in groups and moved all the valuable things away. .
This is the promise Baili Xiyu promised to them. As long as Baili Xiyu successfully succeeds to the throne, they and these heroes will benefit in the future.
A small wine shop on a street corner was bustling with people and very lively at the moment.
"Boy! Where is my wine? Why don't you bring it up quickly!"
"Waiter, sir, where is my food? If you don't bring it to me, sir, I will destroy your shop!"
"Lady boss, come and have a drink with me!"
"Xiao Er..."
The waiter on crutches was so busy that he couldn't take care of her at all. The fat chef in the back kitchen was also very busy. If everyone in the city hadn't died, there wouldn't have been so many people in their shop.
The landlady looked very well dressed today, holding a wine bottle in her hand and accompanying guests from table to table. Those who were dishonest were also taught a lesson secretly and no longer dared to eat tofu.
After the landlady agreed, she got up and went to the backyard. As soon as he entered the door of the side room, he saw Ye Ling sitting cross-legged to heal his wounds, and Hua Xinfeng stood beside him.
Ye Ling opened his eyes and looked at the landlady, and said with a smile: "Woman landlady, it's so busy in front, why do you still have the time to come and see me?"
"You brat, you still dare to come to me. Can you pay the debt you owe me?"
The proprietress found a chair and sat down, took out a small abacus from her chest, fiddled with it flexibly, and seemed to start calculating accounts again.
Ye Ling smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a poor boy. You can't afford to pay for it even if you sell me! This friend of mine is the son of a rich man. If you don't tie him up, maybe you can get some money from his father." If I exchange some ransom there, it can be regarded as my debt repayment!"
"oh?"
The proprietress became interested as soon as she heard this. She stood up and walked around the frightened Hua Xinfeng for a few times. She nodded and said, "I'm still strong. I happen to be short of a man in front of me, so you can go and take over!"
As he spoke, Hua Xinfeng couldn't help but whether he wanted to or not. The landlady kicked him out and kicked him to the front hall.
When the waiter saw it, he quickly helped Hua Xinfeng and said, "Are you afraid that the landlady caught you? You just happened to be helping me to serve the dishes to the guests!"
Hua Xinfeng couldn't resist because he couldn't see through the cultivation level of the three people in the shop. What's more, they are so familiar with Ye Ling, so they are not bad people.
"Yi Zi, I will pay off your debt today, so you owe me even more!"
In the hut, the landlady drove away Hua Xinfeng, sat down again, looked at Ye Ling and said: "You kid, you always get yourself covered with bruises, but you are a bit like that bastard from Qinglin City!"
Ye Ling knew that the landlady was talking about the former Lord of Qinglin City, Song Yingfeng. He hesitated and said: "Madam, in fact, I have been to Qinglin City before, and something happened there. Lord Song..."
"Dead." The proprietress forced a smile, as if saying something unimportant: "I went to collect the body. He was killed by zombies, so the people in the city did not dare to approach him. He He stood there alone for three days, and then I went and buried him outside the city."
The landlady was talking and fiddling with the arithmetic beads in her hand, her expression seemed complicated yet indifferent.
Ye Ling regretted it very much at this moment. It was something that was unspoken, but he had to point it out. He really shouldn't.
The landlady was silent for a moment, then said: "My little ancestor is also dead."
When Ye Ling heard this, he naturally knew that the little ancestor the landlady was talking about was Xie Lian'er. He wasn't shocked, he seemed to have expected it.
The boss's wife said: "That bastard Han Shi was killed. In order to avenge herself, the little ancestor died along with her enemy. She thought she had taken revenge and wanted to die with Han Shi. These people are crazy Fools at heart, one by one, all think that life is worthless, how can they know that life is the most valuable!"
As she spoke, the landlady stood up and walked out, saying: "He is already dead, so I just want you to live a good life for him? If you go with him, wouldn't he have to take care of himself even more?" Do you blame yourself for your own death but harming you? If I don’t die, I will live well, even for his sake. Boy, I see that you are also a person trapped by love. I can tell you, you must live well. , just for the sake of my dead lover, I must live well!"
The landlady went out and left, leaving Ye Ling to ponder what the landlady said: "Yes, live well, live well!"
As night fell, the small shop that had been busy all day could not get any rest. The soldiers came and made a fuss again, and the landlady had no choice but to comply.
It was not until midnight that the waiter and Hua Xinfeng threw the drunken soldiers onto the street and closed the store.
The waiter looked at the proprietress who was standing behind the counter and was calculating, and said with a wry smile: "Madam proprietress, you should calculate how much we lost today. These uncles don't give me money for meals, but I asked them for it, and I almost got beaten up." pause."
Unexpectedly, the landlady smiled and said: "You are a waste, you can't even charge for the wine. What do I want you to do? Let me show you, this is all what they paid for!"
As she spoke, the landlady brought a pile of money bags to the table. There were coins, spiritual stones, elixirs, and anything that could be converted into currency.
The waiter in the store asked happily: "Madam boss, you are really amazing. You can take money from these bastards."
The landlady smiled proudly: "There's no way you can take advantage of me! Okay, you guys go and have a rest. We have to open tomorrow!"
"ah?"
Hua Xinfeng's face wrinkled up after hearing this. He has never done a clerk's job before, and he was exhausted today.
Unexpectedly, when the landlady saw him like this, she glared at him: "What? You don't want to? Well, waiter, tie him up for me and use him as a meat ticket, and ask for a ransom from his father!"
"No, no, no!" Hua Xinfeng hurriedly begged for mercy: "I just have to do it, Ye Zi, you have made me suffer!"
As he spoke, Hua Xinfeng returned to Ye Ling's room in the backyard in despair, and said with a sad face: "Zi Zi, it's been a bad luck for me to have you as my friend for eight lifetimes. Let's leave quickly and stop getting involved with Taiyue City. Something happened."
Ye Ling smiled and said: "I also want to leave, but now the four gates of Taiyue City are closed and the teleportation formation has been destroyed. We can't get out even if we want to!"
At this time, Hua Xinfeng took out the sound transmission device from the storage ring and said, "How about I ask Feng and Lei to save us?"
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded and said, "That's fine. With Fengling and Lei here, Baili Xiyu won't be able to do anything to us."
But just when Hua Xinfeng was using his power and the sound transmission device, unexpectedly, the sound transmission device failed!
"What...what's going on?" Hua Xinfeng asked in shock: "Is my Dao weapon damaged?"
Ye Ling didn't know the reason, and said sarcastically: "It's all your fault, you just want to save money and buy a defective product, right?"
"That's impossible. My father gave it to me, I didn't buy it myself."
If Hua Xinfeng bought it himself, it might be a defective product, but Hua Yuanquan would not give such a thing to his son.
"Taiyue City is closed inside and outside, but we don't have people to guard it tightly." The proprietress appeared at the door at some unknown time and said to the two of them: "I learned from these soldiers today that Baili Xiyu sent people to guard Taiyue City. The city protection formation has been repaired and put into use again. This formation isolates the inside and outside, so your Taoist tools will naturally fail."
"I see." Ye Ling nodded, as if he didn't care.
"What do you mean it's like this?" Hua Xinfeng asked anxiously: "What can we do? We can't get out at all!"
The landlady smiled and said: "It's a good idea if you can't get out. Tomorrow you can continue to wait in the hall, and the brat can help in the kitchen. I don't care for idlers here."
Ye Ling smiled when he heard this and said: "Boss Boss, I'm so seriously injured, you still have the heart to let me go to work?"
The boss's wife rolled her eyes at him and said: "How about the waiter? I still can't rest at the front. What's more, you are a very tough guy. Don't think I don't know."
After saying that, the landlady got up and left.
Hua Xinfeng and Ye Ling looked at each other and sighed: "Ye Zi, I really don't understand. Taiyue City in Daqian should be your sad place. Why do you want to interfere in their succession to the throne?"
Ye Ling was silent for a moment and said: "I just remembered what my elder brother said to me before. The fourth prince Baili Xiyu is not a kind person. If he becomes the emperor, maybe many people will die in the Daqian Dynasty."
Hearing this, Hua Xinfeng smiled slightly and said: "You know that people who practice Taoism are all hard-hearted. I have seen too few people like you."
Ye Ling laughed when he heard this. Maybe he is not suitable for practicing Taoism?
