Li Yi's heart moved, "If the prince takes action now and causes Nalu Yiran to suffer some trouble, won't he inevitably die at the hands of Zhang Zhang in three days?"
Ji Qingyuan shook his head and said: "Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, Zhang Zhang and Lu Tianshi, this battle is related to the reputation and status of the two sects for thousands of years, and the development and continuation of Taoist orthodoxy for thousands of years to come.
Therefore, this battle must be absolutely fair. No matter who it is, neither will nor want to fight with these two people in private at this time. "
Li Yi lowered his head and said: "I understand, it is indeed my lack of consideration."
Ji Qingyuan turned around and waved to the two people behind him. He was already thinking about how to cheat Aunt Liu into some jars of really good wine.
Since you have taken action to save this princess who is loved by everyone, is it not too much to think about getting some benefits?
"General Li, you said we had a slight victory. Shouldn't we celebrate with two bottles of wine?" Ji Qingyuan winked and asked Li Yi to speak first.
Li Yi quickly turned his head to the side, "What the prince said is true, but the general has official duties and cannot drink. However, he can have a few drinks with the prince with tea instead of wine."
Are you kidding me, asking Mrs. Liu for some good wine? Even when His Majesty came in person, Madam Liu still fooled His Majesty with fake wine mixed with half a bottle of water, and His Majesty still smiled and had no objection at all. Anyway, Li Yi naturally doesn't have this ability. The seventh prince has a lot of face. Are you here? Li Yi turned his head and looked outside the railing.
Ji Qingyuan waved his hand and said: "What are you talking about? The emperor sent you to follow me, so naturally everything will follow my arrangements. Your official duty today is to drink with me, and put other matters aside for the time being."
Li Yi quietly glanced at Mrs. Liu who looked at the expressions of the two people with a half-smile, feeling a little drummed in her heart, and then said righteously: "You cannot violate your orders. Even if the prince allows it, your subordinates cannot break the rules."
Ji Qingyuan hated the fact that iron could not become steel. How could this man not get enough oil and salt? As long as he cooperated well and the two of them sang and harmonized, he didn't believe they couldn't make a nice wine.
Forget it, I'd better do it by myself. If that doesn't work, I'll just follow the taste and steal a few jars and run away.
With this in mind, Ji Qingyuan turned his head to meet Liu Ruyan's gaze, pretending to cough twice and clear his throat.
"The prince seems to have something to say?" Liu Ruyan simply walked to the table and sat down again.
"Well, Aunt Liu, I think..." Ji Qingyuan had just finished typing up his manuscript and was preparing to talk loudly, but soon a smell from outside the restaurant interrupted his thoughts.
Before Liu Ruyan could sit firmly in the chair, she glanced at the horizon and quickly walked to the railing. The three of them looked up together.
On the roof not far away, a girl in a blue dress suddenly rushed from the dispersing crowd in the opposite direction to Lu Yiran, who was healing a disciple. She held a purple talisman in her left hand and quickly moved her right hand. Pinjue.
The girl had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, but her somewhat immature face had a look of determination. She was mumbling words, and the charm in her hand began to burn.
After briefly staying on the girl's delicate oval face, Ji Qingyuan turned his attention to the extremely dangerous charm in her hand.
"This is such a deep hatred. This girl did not hesitate to use a Nine Heavens Killing Talisman at the cost of her own life." Ji Qingyuan frowned.
"A spell at the cost of life?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously: "Then how powerful can this be?"
"It is said that the holder of the talisman sacrifices his life to this talisman. When the talisman burns out, a nine-day mysterious thunder will fall from the sky, killing the talisman holder and all living creatures within its range on the spot. Killing can be said to be a way to exchange life for life." Ji Qingyuan explained: "I have only heard of the existence of this spell, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. The most cruel thing about this spell is that, Those who are killed by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder will only end up with their souls scattered, and they will not even have the chance to be reincarnated."
"So, isn't Master Lu Tianshi in danger?" Li Yi looked downstairs. Lu Yiran didn't seem to care that the girl was running towards him with a powerful spell, but lowered his head and continued to give Lin Xiuying Repair broken meridians.
"It seems that the person who gave the talisman to this girl did not tell her how to use this talisman." Ji Qingyuan shook his head, "The Nine Heavens Suppressing Killing Talisman is indeed very powerful, but if the owner of the talisman is killed while the talisman is burning, Or intercept it outside the safe range, then the power of the last talisman will only act on the talisman owner himself."
Li Yi was stunned and looked down. Although the Lu Tianshi still had no reaction, the tall Taoist standing in front of the three of them had the sword behind him slowly unsheathed.
Seeing that Master Gao was holding the sword in his hand, the girl's eyes flashed with panic, but she soon regained her determination, even a little stubborn, and instead accelerated her speed towards the four people.
"Master, she is the daughter of Mr. Nalan's family." Master Gao saw the face of the visitor clearly and sneered: "I have been looking for this girl for a long time, but I didn't expect that she came to my door, just in time to eradicate the root cause."
Lu Yiran did not answer, but Gao Daoren knew that this was what he meant by allowing him to do this.
Seeing that the girl was about fifty steps away from him, Daoist Gao gave a soft drink, stretched out his sword, and pointed it directly at the girl's throat.
Watching the dark sword stabbing at her, the girl gritted her teeth. The moment the tip of the sword was about to touch her throat, she quickly turned her body and allowed the sword to pierce her shoulder and hit Daoist Gao with it. They rushed towards the three people behind.
Daoist Gao did not panic. He stomped his right foot heavily on the ground and stopped the girl with him. At the same time, he turned the sword in his hand. The broad blade of the sword severely tore open the original piercing wound on the girl's shoulder. , the girl suddenly started to sweat profusely in pain, but she still did not stop chanting the spell.
"Are you dying?" The Taoist mocked: "It is certainly a good thing to avenge your parents. Since ancient times, filial piety has been the first thing to do. I naturally admire you. But unfortunately, all I can do for you is to send you and Mom and dad are reunited."
"Are you worthy of mentioning 'goodness'? How ridiculous." The girl stopped reciting the spell, raised the talisman in her hand tremblingly, and rushed forward fiercely. The long sword in the Taoist's hand was completely penetrated by the sword. And out.
The girl used her other hand to tightly hold the Taoist's hand holding the long sword, and said angrily: "I can't kill that man named Lu, so it's not a loss for me to have you as a lackey."
After taking a look at the talisman that was about to burn out, Master Gao laughed and said, "It is said that the road to hell is very difficult, so I will not send Miss Nalan away."
After saying that, he struck out with a palm, knocking the girl several feet away, and threw her to the ground, landing among the crowd.
"Damn it, if you shoot that girl into the crowd, you're going to hurt innocent people!" Li Yi said angrily.
Ji Qingyuan's face also darkened, and he looked at Master Gao with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Look, after the talisman burned, no Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder fell." Liu Ruyan reminded.
Ji Qingyuan was stunned and turned his gaze. The talisman in the girl's hand had completely turned into a pile of ashes and fell to the ground. However, there was no strange phenomenon in the sky, and not even one or two thunderclouds were seen.
"I came to die with the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain with the intention of dying, but I got a fake charm from nowhere." Ji Qingyuan shook his head, speechless.
The girl was sitting on the ground, looking at the ashes on the ground in a daze. When the Taoist priest not far away saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that God has mercy on Miss Nalan and cannot bear to let Miss Nalan do this." The soul of such a peerless beauty is gone. In that case, it’s better for me to personally send you off on your way.”
Having said that, Master Gao touched the sword with his fingers and rushed towards the girl sitting on the ground at a very fast speed. The air around the sword rippled.
The girl sighed softly, closed her eyes and waited for the sword to strike her. Since I don't have the ability to avenge my parents, I might as well go down and reunite with my parents.
Suddenly, the girl felt that the extremely oppressive sword seemed to have stopped not far in front of her, without taking a step forward. Is it possible that the Taoist priest wants to torture himself again? If so, it would be better to bite his tongue and commit suicide without giving him a chance to humiliate himself.
The girl opened her eyes, but in front of her was not the tall Taoist wielding a killing sword, but a young man in white standing in front of her, with his left hand behind his back, and his right hand holding a folding fan, pressing against the Taoist's sword. On the body. It looked like he was lightly resting on it, but the Taoist suppressed his blush and couldn't even move forward even with the sword in his hand.
Is it that good-looking young prince? Why should he help himself? The girl was a little confused.
"What does the prince mean by this? This girl tried to assassinate Pindao and his group. Could it be that the prince wants to protect her?" Master Gao said in a deep voice.
Ji Qingyuan's face was expressionless, "Everyone has his own business. You just threw this girl into the crowd. If the spell in her hand is real, have you ever thought about how many innocent people in Tianqi will be killed or injured?"
"In desperation, Pindao is also afraid that the talisman will hurt the master and his disciples. It is indeed Pindao's fault in this matter. Pindao will apologize to the prince, but he also asks the prince to hand this girl over to Pindao for disposal."
Ji Qingyuan glanced at the girl sitting on the ground. The girl was glaring at Lu Yiran not far away, with hatred and stubbornness on her face.
"Taoist Master, please come back. Three days from now it will be my birthday, Princess Chao Yunxi. No one is allowed to die in the city within these three days, so Taoist Master cannot kill her today."
Master Gao's expression changed, and he asked again, "In that case, Pindao will let this girl live for the time being, but please ask the prince to hand her over to Pindao, and Pindao can promise to keep her until the princess's birthday." Her life."
Ji Qingyuan ignored him and looked at the girl sitting on the ground, "What's your name?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the man in front of her. After thinking about it for a while, she replied: "This is the first time we met Nalan."
"If the wounds and internal injuries on Miss Nalan's shoulder are not treated, there may be some trouble. I am not talented and I know a little bit about medical skills. I wonder if I can invite Miss Nalan to my house and let me diagnose and treat her." Ji Qingyuan smiled.
For the first time, Nalan looked at the smiling man in front of him with some caution, wondering what his intentions were.
As if he had sensed her thoughts, Ji Qingyuan reminded him softly: "As long as a person is alive, there is always a chance for revenge. Miss Nalan does not have to rush and risk her life now."
