At the same time.
The entrance to the Imperial Palace in Bianjing City.
It was noon, and the guard Abang, who felt the heat was unbearable at this moment, couldn't help but complain about this job in his heart again.
As the saying goes, you will hate what you do.
Counting the time, guard Ah Pong has been working as a guard for almost two years.
More than a year ago, after the fall of Yin Sijian, the guard A Pang relied on his uncle's relationship to successfully connect with Nili.
It was recommended by Master De Nili, and he was originally a guard at Yinsijian and had very rich work experience.
So he transformed and successfully became the guard at the entrance to the imperial palace in Bianjing City.
Also transferred from the guard of Yinsijian to the guard of the palace is his eldest brother Fang Fang.
Fang Fang is a tactful person and has a full year more work experience than Ah Pong. Following this big brother, Ah Pong has really gained a lot of benefits in the past two years.
"Brother Fang, someone is coming and seems to be entering the palace."
The entrance to the palace.
Seeing several figures walking towards him not far away, Ah Pong immediately cheered up and hurriedly woke up his big brother Fang Fang.
The latter squinted his eyes, looked at the people who came here carefully, and then said with a smile: "Those are the twenty-second prince's people. The twenty-second prince is always unpopular in the palace, so as long as we act according to the opportunity, There should be money to be made.”
Ah Pong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, I will listen to Brother Fang!"
While the two were talking, they saw the twenty-second prince leading several monks and walking quickly to the gate of the palace.
"I dare you to ask."
The guard Fang Fang raised his weapon and stopped the twenty-second prince and his party in front of him. He pretended to be a stranger and said, "I wonder if you have a pass?"
According to regulations, the prince can enter the palace without a token.
Therefore, Fang Fang pretended not to know the 22nd Prince, and it was clear that he wanted to get some profit from him, hoping that he could give him some 'benefits'.
Faced with Fang Fang's obstruction, the twenty-second prince just spoke coldly and said in a bad tone: "Open the door, I have something important to say to my father."
"this"
Fang Fang is a person who can assess the situation.
He heard something slightly wrong from the twenty-second prince's tone.
It seemed that as long as he continued to block him, the Twenty-second Prince would really take action.
"Father?!"
After thinking for a short time, Fang Fang suddenly understood and said with a smile: "My lord, are you the prince? Come in quickly!"
After saying that, he put down his weapons and gave way to the entrance to the palace.
"Hmph!" The twenty-second prince didn't say much nonsense. He just snorted coldly and walked into the palace.
Seeing that Fang Fang gave in, Ah Pong on the side asked in confusion: "Brother Fang, what are you doing?"
Ah Pong was about to express his doubts, but he saw another pair of people hurriedly approaching not far away.
"It's Ju Rui and the president of the Dragon Head Association!"
As a former Yin Sijian guard, Fang Fang recognized the person at a glance.
He said in surprise: "I remember that these two people have taken refuge with the third prince Le Zhengyun, so this team should be the third prince's people!"
"Third Prince? Why are the Third Prince's people also coming to the palace?"
Thinking of the imperial edict issued by Emperor Tianhui this morning to establish the crown prince, Ah Pang frowned and said, "Could these princes want to..."
"Hush!" Hearing Ah Bang's muttering, Fang Fang hurriedly interrupted: "Brother, be careful what you say in broad daylight!"
After being reminded, Ah Pong kept silent.
at the same time.
The third prince had also arrived at the palace gate with great momentum, surrounded by Ju Rui, the president of the Dragon Head Association, and a group of blood elixir stage and embryo-building stage monks.
The Third Prince was so powerful that Fang Fang did not dare to block him at all, so he immediately gave way and said respectfully: "Third Prince."
The third prince and his supporters hurriedly entered the palace without even looking at Fang Fang.
Looking at the group of people leaving, Ah Bang said blankly: "Brother Fang, what are they?"
"You just need to understand in your heart, there is no need to ask." Fang Fang suddenly sighed and said with emotion: "It seems that things are going to change in Bianjing City!"
The twenty-second prince and the third prince were not the only ones who entered the palace at noon.
These two are just the beginning.
Subsequently, thirty-one of the sixty-three princes in Bianjing entered the palace one after another.
They may be accompanied by guards in twos and threes, or like the third prince, they may be surrounded by a large group of high-level monks.
Among them, there are even people who have advanced levels of blood elixir cultivation.
In the end, even Ni Li, Zhong Ran, Lei Ting, Boya Zhi and Wu Ku, who had passed the examination of captain of the Immortal Guard and were already known to everyone in Bianjing City, entered the palace one after another.
…
Anyone who enters the palace must pass through an urn city before they can actually enter the palace.
The entrance to Wengcheng.
At this moment, Yun Rusong, the head of the Daoist Sect, Xuansi, the great Buddhist abbot, and Li Zhuo, the captain of the Tianwei Mansion, were standing at the entrance of the Wengcheng with their hands behind their backs.
They were confronting the princes and the monks brought by the princes.
Out of three.
Li Zhuo said: "Everyone, I have made it very clear: Your Majesty is ill and is currently resting in the side hall. No one is around."
"Retreat?"
The third prince said in a bad tone: "We princes have not seen our father for more than half a year."
"No matter what kind of illness my father is suffering from, he can't go out to see people for more than half a year, right?"
"Taking a step back, even if he doesn't want to see other people, but us sons, there's no reason why he wouldn't even want to see us, right?"
"I'll say it one last time." Seeing the third prince's question, Li Zhuo emphasized: "His Majesty's exact words are that he will not see anyone's face, including you princes!"
"Anyone? I don't think so." After hearing what Li Zhuo said, Hong'an, the counselor of the third prince, suddenly walked out of the crowd with a smile.
He wore a silk scarf on his head, elegant but not arrogant, and talked eloquently: "Master Li just said that Your Majesty is unwilling to see anyone. Since no one is willing to see His Majesty, how can His Majesty's words be conveyed through you?" What about those of us?"
"You have never seen His Majesty's face, but you know what His Majesty is thinking in his heart. Is it possible that Mr. Li, Mr. Yun and Abbot Xuansi, the three of you, can't predict whether the art of prophecy will work?"
Hong An said sternly: "So, you three are obviously lying!"
Faced with counselor Hong'an's doubts, Li Zhuo did not respond directly. He just asked him for no reason: "Have you finished asking all your questions?"
"I'm done asking."
Hong An suddenly realized something was wrong and took a few steps back unconsciously.
'Snapped'!
And before Hong An could react to what Li Zhuo was going to do, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from his face.
The next second, he flew backwards from where he was.
The sudden scene made everyone immediately focus on Hong An. At this time, Hong An's face was already swollen into a pig's head.
at the same time.
Li Zhuo snorted coldly and said in a bad tone: "The slap I gave you just now is a small warning to you, so that you will remember it and don't talk to me with that attitude in a disrespectful manner!"
He said to the princes present and the troops they led: "As a minister, I cannot take action against the prince, but you monks who came to the palace with the prince, I can manipulate you at will."
"Don't forget, I am also a deep-diving monk after all! He is a person with status, so I will lie to you juniors?"
"What I said is the truth, it is the fact. You people believe it or not!"
After saying this, an aura unique to monks in the deep submergence stage was released from Li Zhuo.
He looked around.
Wherever he looked, all the monks lowered their heads one by one, while the princes frowned, as if they had no good way to deal with Li Zhuo and the others.
So under Li Zhuo's intimidation, the atmosphere fell into a stalemate again.
Not long after that.
I saw Zhong Ran, Ni Li, Boya Zhi, Wu Ku and Lei Lei, who had passed the examination of captain of the Immortal Guard, walking over from a distance.
Seeing Ni Li and his party, Li Zhuo frowned and said, "Why, you guys have also taken refuge with a certain prince. Do you also want to come to the palace to help?"
"Master Li misunderstood."
Ni Li clasped his fists and replied respectfully: "We just heard that something big happened in the palace, so we came over here to take a look. We just hope that this incident will not get worse."
Li Zhuo nodded and softened his tone slightly: "Since we are not here to cause trouble, then just stand aside for now. There are enough for us three old guys here, and you don't need to get involved anymore!"
"yes!"
Since it was Li Zhuo who spoke, Ni Li did not dare to have any objections, even though he was standing outside the team of monks headed by the third prince.
Zhong Ran, Lei Ting, Boya Zhi and Wu Ku followed closely behind.
The five of them were silent, just watching the performance of the princes quietly.
…
Not long after that.
Among the crowd, the third prince Le Zhengyun suddenly stepped forward and spoke to Li Zhuo and others: "Master Li, if I want to see my father, you shouldn't be able to stop me, right?"
Li Zhuo frowned but did not respond.
Seeing his silence, the third prince ignored Li Zhuo and walked towards the entrance of Wengcheng.
While walking, Li Zhuo still didn't stop him.
The third prince knew that he had made the right bet:
There is an unknown force in the imperial palace of Bianjing City, which can be mobilized by the leader of the Lezheng clan.
Even monks in the deep dive stage are no match for this power.
Therefore, as a human subject, if the third prince did not listen to dissuasion and wanted to force his way through Wengcheng, Li Zhuo would not be able, let alone dare not, to stop him.
This is the rule.
——If Li Zhuo forcibly attacks the third prince without taking action first, he will be sanctioned by the leader of the Lezheng clan.
"Third Prince!"
The entrance to Wengcheng.
Seeing that the third prince wanted to force his way through the checkpoint, Li Zhuo said sternly: "It is His Majesty's order not to allow you princes to enter the palace. If you must force your way through, you will suffer a lot. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"
? !
Li Zhuo's words made the third prince stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily: "Lord Lao Li really reminded me."
After saying that, he continued to walk towards the palace.
at the same time.
Inspired by the third prince, the other princes also reacted - as princes of the Lezheng clan, Li Zhuo and others seemed to really dare not do anything to them.
So, the princes all walked towards the entrance of the urn city, trying to force their way through the barrier.
Maybe he heard the movement behind him.
The third prince who was walking at the front turned around and said to Ju Rui, the president of the Dragon Head Association and others who were following him: "You guys, stop all the other princes."
"this"
After hearing the third prince's order, Ju Rui and others showed hesitation and did not dare to make any overstep.
Like Li Zhuo and others, they were afraid of the 'Le Zheng Clan Chief' who was hiding in the dark.
Seeing this scene, the third prince seemed to have something on his mind. He smiled slyly at Ju Rui and others and said, "Unlike Mr. Li, you are all my subordinates."
"You followed my order to stop the prince. This is an internal fight between our Lezheng clan princes, and the leader of the Lezheng clan will not intervene in the internal fight."
This seems to be true.
Hearing this, Ju Rui and others who were working for the third prince looked at each other and smiled at the other monks present: "Fellow Taoists and princes, you have all heard it. Since it is the order of the third prince, , then we will only be offended!"
After that, he followed the example of Li Zhuo, Yun Rusong and Xuansi and blocked the entrance to Wengcheng.
If Ni Li and other five monks are not included, Ju Rui and other Blood Core Stage monks under the third prince can be regarded as the people with the highest cultivation level in the room.
All practitioners cherish their lives very much.
Although the princes all intended to encourage their men to fight Ju Rui and others, the gap in strength made the monks who had taken refuge with the prince not dare to act rashly.
Under the stalemate, the other princes could only worry in the urn.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhuo, Yun Rusong and Xuan Si all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey! Everyone is standing outside the Wengcheng!"
Just when the atmosphere became anxious, a slightly distorted and slightly crazy voice sounded from outside the urn city.
The next second, he saw the Ninth Prince, who was no more than four feet tall, and Eunuch Qin, who was wearing a puppet on his hand, walking slowly from a distance.
Behind the two, there were several mortals carrying a scarlet statue.
The material of this statue looks somewhat like rotten wood.
But upon closer inspection, it looks more like it is made of flesh and blood.
Its shape is very irregular, it looks completely meaningless and symbolic, and it is even distorted to the point of making people feel disgusting and weird.
There are many blood-red flesh balls on the surface of this statue.
Li Zhuo, Yun Rusong and Xuansi seemed not to know the specific function of the statue, so they all still stood there and looked at the expression of the Ninth Prince quietly.
But I saw the Ninth Prince glanced at everyone present, and suddenly grinned: "What? Aren't you going to see your father? Why are you all blocked in Wengcheng, and you don't dare to go forward?"
"Okay, I get it now!"
The Ninth Prince asked himself and answered: "You are afraid of Li Zhuo and the others, right? There are also those Blood Core Stage monks under the Third Prince."
"but."
As he said that, the Ninth Prince suddenly leaned towards the flesh and blood statue, and his tone became increasingly crazier: "You are afraid of these people, but I am not."
The Ninth Prince reached out to touch the statue.
At this moment, the statue turned into countless tentacles. The tentacles wrapped the Ninth Prince and quickly integrated with him.
